  JarJim: Hello, weary traveler.
• 0:12
  JarJim: I'm not sure what strange magic

  JarJim: must have brought you here, but
• 0:15
  JarJim: you have stepped into a realm of
• 0:17
  JarJim: my creation.

  JarJim: I call it Islanew.

  JarJim: Who am I?
• 0:28
  JarJim: You might ask?
• 0:30
  JarJim: The name is Jade and I'm the patron deity of gambling.
• 0:34
  JarJim: Long story short, this group of idiots, or as you may call them
• 0:39
  JarJim: heroes, made a bet with me that they had what it took to make a
• 0:42
  JarJim: vast trove of gold, but left some of the key details blank.
• 0:47
  JarJim: So I filled them in myself.
• 0:49
  JarJim: I send them to this pocket dimension, into the city I had
• 0:53
  JarJim: created with brand new bodies they'd have to attune to.
• 0:57
  JarJim: Can these fools passed my test
• 1:00
  JarJim: or will they be trapped here
• 1:01
  JarJim: forever?
• 1:02
  JarJim: So experience my world of trials

  JarJim: and tribulations and join
• 1:07

• 1:55
  Skyler: Oh, okay.
• 1:55
  Skyler: I see where this is going.
• 1:57
  Skyler: Um, awesome.
• 1:58
  Skyler: So joining me today we have the usual suspects.
• 2:00
  Skyler: We got two right.
• 2:01
  Skyler: We got Dave who's playing marquee.
• 2:03
  Player: That I am.
• 2:05
  Skyler: Uh, next to him.
• 2:06
  Skyler: We've got Fatty Lumpkins who is playing Kato.
• 2:09
  Player: This is true.
• 2:10
  Skyler: Next to him we've got Jackson who's playing good old Dez.
• 2:14
  Player: Hi.
• 2:15
  Skyler: I said good old, good old Dez.
• 2:17
  Skyler: Not your regular average Dez, but good old Dez.
• 2:20
  Skyler: The Dez you know from back in your hometown.
• 2:23
  Player: You know at one point we had mentioned how um Dez would go
• 2:26
  Player: feral over the color yellow.
• 2:28
  Player: Yeah he hates it.
• 2:28
  Player: He does however have a very
• 2:31
  Player: strange deep love for the color
• 2:34
  Player: green green.
• 2:35
  Player: Okay.
• 2:36
  Skyler: He's cutting it real close.
• 2:38
  Skyler: He's like he's one added color away.
• 2:40
  Skyler: Is he aware that green is composed of yellow?
• 2:43
  Player: You know, it depends on how you look at it.
• 2:45
  Player: If it's additive coloring, you're right.
• 2:47
  Player: If it's subtractive coloring, you're wrong.
• 2:49
  Skyler: Anyway, it's a glass half full kind of situation.
• 2:52
  Player: Yeah, but he will he will purchase anything green.
• 2:56
  Player: Okay.
• 2:56
  Player: If he has the means to do.
• 2:57
  Skyler: So, let me write that down.
• 2:58
  Skyler: That's useful for me to manipulate next to.
• 3:01
  Skyler: Uh, next to Jackson, we've got Cameron who is playing Roric.
• 3:06
  Skyler: And next to Cameron, we've we've
• 3:09
  Skyler: got Quinn who's playing a little
• 3:11
  Skyler: sauce.

  Player: Yep.
• 3:13
  Skyler: Fair enough.
• 3:14

  Skyler: She is this highly wealthy, um,
• 3:35
  Skyler: highly involved individual in
• 3:37
  Skyler: this area.

  Skyler: several different, quote

  Skyler: unquote, investment
• 3:45
  Skyler: opportunities inside.
• 3:48
  Skyler: Uh, you guys have been invited
• 3:49
  Skyler: because you guys had received a
• 3:50
  Skyler: postcard from Dusk Walker
• 3:52
  Skyler: Industries.
• 3:53
  Skyler: You guys had come here because
• 3:54
  Skyler: you had received a postcard that
• 3:56
  Skyler: invited you here discussing a
• 3:58
  Skyler: brand new business investment

  Skyler: opportunity called Fat Caps and
• 4:02
  Skyler: Hats.
• 4:03
  Skyler: Uh, you guys did arrive.
• 4:06
  Skyler: Uh, two of you specifically.
• 4:07
  Skyler: Kato and Dez had gone inside to inquire about this fat caps and
• 4:11
  Skyler: hats business model.
• 4:12
  Skyler: Bottom line.
• 4:14
  Skyler: I mean, it's an MLM, right?
• 4:16
  Skyler: You buy packages of these hats, and then you're expected to go
• 4:20
  Skyler: out and sell them.
• 4:21
  Skyler: But at the same time, you're also expected to convince other
• 4:25
  Skyler: people to also jump into this investment opportunity
• 4:28
  Skyler: underneath you as your, as they coined it, coined.
• 4:33
  Skyler: Uh, success line, as they said.
• 4:36
  Skyler: So additionally, Rohrich had
• 4:38
  Skyler: come in disguised as, uh, what
• 4:41
  Skyler: was it?
• 4:41
  Skyler: A belly wiggle was the last name.
• 4:42
  Skyler: What was the first name?
• 4:44
  Skyler: Gustavo Gaston belly wiggle, claiming that he had involvement
• 4:48
  Skyler: in the Fortune's Embrace investment, which was another
• 4:52
  Skyler: one of Alexandria desk.
• 4:54
  Skyler: Walker's sort of businesses that she set up.
• 4:57
  Skyler: Um, that one's more kind of basic pyramid scheme.
• 5:00
  Skyler: Uh, long story short.
• 5:01
  Skyler: Anyway, so you were there inquiring about that.
• 5:04
  Skyler: They said they were going to send out a representative.
• 5:06
  Skyler: The other two of you that were
• 5:07
  Skyler: talking about the fat cats in
• 5:08
  Skyler: hats were asking about
• 5:09
  Skyler: periwinkle hats.
• 5:11
  Skyler: If you could just get exclusively a bunch of
• 5:14
  Skyler: periwinkle hats, the associate that was there was willing to go
• 5:18
  Skyler: and find out about that.
• 5:19
  Skyler: And he disappeared in a sort of
• 5:21
  Skyler: elevator floor drop out kind of
• 5:23
  Skyler: a situation.
• 5:24
  Skyler: Um, with that being said, Marcie, you and Lil Source had
• 5:27
  Skyler: both kind of come in to see why it was taking so long.
• 5:30
  Skyler: And you find, uh, Gaston belly
• 5:34
  Skyler: wiggle just kind of sitting on
• 5:35
  Skyler: the floor, and the other two are
• 5:37
  Skyler: just waiting patiently at the
• 5:39
  Skyler: front desk with no attendant
• 5:41
  Skyler: there.
• 5:42
  Player: I'm gonna walk up to Aurora.
• 5:43
  Skyler: Okay.
• 5:45
  Player: Aurora, what are you doing?
• 5:46
  Player: Oh, do help me up, good, sir.
• 5:50
  Player: And I reached my hand up.
• 5:52
  Player: We know each other.
• 5:53
  Player: You hasn't.
• 5:57
  Player: Now help me up, peasant.
• 5:59
  Player: I reach for my hand and lift you up.
• 6:01
  Player: Oh, and he's.
• 6:02
  Skyler: Surprisingly light for his figure.
• 6:04
  Player: Oh, yes.
• 6:05
  Player: Oh, the name's Gaston.
• 6:09
  Player: And I hit my belly and reached my hand out to Shaker.
• 6:12
  Player: Oh, we're doing this again, huh?
• 6:14
  Player: Uh.
• 6:15
  Player: Huh.
• 6:16
  Player: We've never met before.
• 6:18
  Player: Now, do be a dear and assist me up to the upper floors.
• 6:22
  Player: I have an appointment.
• 6:24
  Player: You?
• 6:24
  Player: An appointment with who?
• 6:25
  Skyler: And as you say this, a woman, just a human woman walks out and
• 6:29
  Skyler: she says, uh, she's in, like a full suit and she has glasses
• 6:32
  Skyler: on, and she walks up and she says, uh, my name is Alexis.
• 6:35
  Skyler: I'm here for a Gaston belly wiggle.
• 6:38
  Skyler: I was told I was supposed to
• 6:39
  Skyler: discuss with you about, uh, your
• 6:41
  Skyler: investments.
• 6:42
  Player: I hit my belly and go present.
• 6:44
  Skyler: Oh, wonderful.
• 6:45
  Skyler: Would you like to, uh, come back to my office and discuss?
• 6:49
  Player: Of course.
• 6:50
  Player: Okay. As your business associate.
• 6:53
  Player: Associate.
• 6:53
  Player: Yes.
• 6:54
  Player: Yes, yes.
• 6:55
  Player: Oh, yes you are.
• 6:56
  Skyler: Okay. You're his, uh, business associate financial advisor.
• 7:00
  Player: Fredo, uh, you don't you couldn't afford a last name.
• 7:05
  Skyler: I see, um, well, that's very kind.
• 7:07
  Player: Of you working for us.
• 7:09
  Player: Very kind of you to employ him.
• 7:10
  Player: I go back into my, uh, my dark days of undercover work, and I
• 7:14
  Player: reach into my pocket.
• 7:16
  Player: I knew I needed this someday, and I pulled a little tiny fake
• 7:19
  Player: mustache, put it right on my beak in front in front of her.
• 7:22
  Player: Yeah, she's just staring.
• 7:23
  Player: Absolutely.
• 7:25
  Player: She just kind.
• 7:25
  Skyler: Of her her mouth is agape, and she just says, wonderful.
• 7:29
  Skyler: Um, please follow me.
• 7:30
  Skyler: And she leads you guys to, uh, the other side of the room.
• 7:33
  Skyler: So you would try the doors on
• 7:35
  Skyler: the right side of the room, the
• 7:37
  Skyler: east side of the room, if you
• 7:38
  Skyler: will.
• 7:38
  Skyler: She takes you guys over to the
• 7:39
  Skyler: west side of the room, which is
• 7:40
  Skyler: the doors that she just came
• 7:41
  Skyler: through.
• 7:41
  Skyler: Uh, you guys step inside and it's just a whole bunch of
• 7:45
  Skyler: cubicles and offices.
• 7:46
  Player: I have a.
• 7:47
  Skyler: Question. Yes. Is it about cubicles and offices?
• 7:49
  Player: No.
• 7:50
  Skyler: Okay.
• 7:50
  Player: How big of a cubicle?
• 7:52
  Skyler: Not incredibly big.
• 7:54
  Player: So when this was this Alexandria person, right?
• 7:59
  Player: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Player: I'm assuming is she's the one paying people out.
• 8:02
  Player: Like, would her name be on the checks or how do they pay you?
• 8:05
  Player: Just pay him in gold.
• 8:06
  Player: Probably any notes?
• 8:07
  Player: Because I have expert forgery.
• 8:09
  Player: My thought is if I could see her.
• 8:11
  Player: If I'm assuming, like in the lobby, her autograph or like,
• 8:15
  Player: her name is like, you know, pictures of her with her name or
• 8:18
  Player: something, her name's written somewhere in her handwriting.
• 8:21
  Skyler: There was a statue of her at the
• 8:23
  Skyler: fountain, but you haven't seen
• 8:24
  Skyler: anything that would have her
• 8:26
  Skyler: signature.
• 8:26
  Player: I'm just saying.
• 8:27
  Player: Not even the envelope.
• 8:28
  Skyler: Things we got.
• 8:29
  Skyler: No.
• 8:30
  Player: Okay. He's making it hard.
• 8:31
  Player: But anyway, that's fine.
• 8:32
  Player: If I were to find a way to get
• 8:34
  Player: her signature, would there be a
• 8:35
  Player: way?
• 8:35
  Player: Like, there's got to be a way that they pay people like, oh,
• 8:37
  Player: you've brought in so.
• 8:38
  Player: And then.
• 8:39
  Skyler: You also have to keep in mind
• 8:40
  Skyler: that this is a this is a
• 8:41
  Skyler: corporation.
• 8:41
  Player: Right?
• 8:42
  Player: She would sign like maybe a note
• 8:43
  Player: and like, how would they get
• 8:44
  Player: paid?
• 8:45
  Skyler: Sure. Uh, there.
• 8:46
  Skyler: Well, first of all.
• 8:47
  Player: They'd be like, just saying like a, like a tight type of like
• 8:49
  Player: bank note or something.
• 8:51
  Skyler: You can, you can pay.
• 8:52
  Skyler: Well, a lot of this would be
• 8:53
  Skyler: done physically because this
• 8:55
  Skyler: isn't like all digital or
• 8:57
  Skyler: through cheques or whatever
• 8:58
  Skyler: else.
• 8:59
  Skyler: With that being said, you might be able to inevitably find
• 9:02
  Skyler: something that she has put her personal signature on.
• 9:04
  Skyler: You just haven't seen it yet.
• 9:06
  Player: Right.
• 9:06
  Player: And then like, but that's what I'm saying.
• 9:07
  Player: How do they get paid?
• 9:08
  Player: Because like, was she right to say, oh, pay this person and
• 9:11
  Player: take you down to the front desk or how would they get paid?
• 9:13
  Player: Well, you're.
• 9:14
  Skyler: Asking me to DM, but I don't feel like you would know
• 9:16
  Skyler: anything about that just yet.
• 9:18
  Skyler: I think I think in game you're gonna have to find that out.
• 9:20
  Skyler: You're gonna have to do some sleuthing.
• 9:22
  Player: That's all it is.
• 9:23
  Player: If I can just.
• 9:23
  Player: If I have expert forgery, sure, I can copy it.
• 9:26
  Skyler: Yeah, I understand, I understand.
• 9:28
  Skyler: Like I'm saying, um, if you get
• 9:29
  Skyler: yourself into a spot where it
• 9:32
  Skyler: would be logical that you would
• 9:33
  Skyler: be able to find a signature,
• 9:35
  Skyler: then we can discuss that for
• 9:36
  Skyler: sure.
• 9:36
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh, where are you taking us, Alexis?
• 9:39
  Skyler: Oh, yes.
• 9:40
  Skyler: My office is right here.
• 9:41
  Skyler: And there's, like, a glass office.
• 9:43
  Skyler: It's like inside of the wall, right?
• 9:44
  Skyler: It's not like one of the cubicles.
• 9:46
  Skyler: This is an actual office and her
• 9:48
  Skyler: name is on the door in sort of
• 9:50
  Skyler: like a gold plated metal, uh,
• 9:53
  Skyler: nameplate.
• 9:54
  Skyler: She invites you in, she sits behind her desk where she has
• 9:57
  Skyler: some writing paraphernalia, um, and some various shelves and
• 10:02
  Skyler: stuff behind her.
• 10:03
  Skyler: And then she gestures for you to to take a seat at the chairs
• 10:06
  Skyler: across from me.
• 10:07
  Sir Bellywiggle: I take a seat.
• 10:08
  Skyler: Okay.
• 10:09
  Player: Yeah, I'll sit down.
• 10:10
  Skyler: Okay. Okay. Um, so, Mister Billy Wiggle.
• 10:13
  Skyler: How can I help you, sir?
• 10:14
  Skyler: Sorry, sir.
• 10:15
  Skyler: Billy, I said sir, sir.
• 10:17
  Player: Mr..
• 10:18
  Skyler: Oh, you're.
• 10:19
  Player: Oh. Are you all right?
• 10:21
  Player: Are you disrespecting.
• 10:23
  Skyler: Oh, of course not.
• 10:24
  Skyler: Of course not, sir.
• 10:25
  Skyler: Billy Wiggle.
• 10:26
  Skyler: Yes.
• 10:26
  Sir Bellywiggle: Um, he's my bodyguard.
• 10:28
  Skyler: The reason it took me.
• 10:29
  Skyler: Oh, well.
• 10:29
  Skyler: Wonderful.
• 10:30
  Skyler: Uh, the reason it took me so long to step into the room to,
• 10:33
  Skyler: uh, assist you is because I simply cannot seem to find your
• 10:36
  Skyler: name on file.
• 10:38
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh, it's because I'm from out of state.
• 10:41
  Skyler: Out of state?
• 10:42
  Skyler: Interesting. We. I don't believe we have any investors that are
• 10:46
  Skyler: out of state.
• 10:47
  Sir Bellywiggle: Well. I thought I was the first.
• 10:52
  Skyler: To be honest with you.
• 10:54
  Skyler: She paused for a moment.
• 10:56
  Skyler: I don't think I've ever met anyone from out of state.
• 11:00
  Player: You're about to ruin your whole world.
• 11:03
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh, well, you see those?
• 11:08
  Sir Bellywiggle: I'm from?
• 11:11
  Sir Bellywiggle: Pembroke.
• 11:12
  Skyler: Pembroke?
• 11:13
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh, I'm from Pembroke, which is in the town of Neverwinter in
• 11:18
  Sir Bellywiggle: the country of Faerun.
• 11:20
  Skyler: Farum.
• 11:21
  Skyler: She pauses for a moment.
• 11:22
  Skyler: She says something about that is oddly familiar, but at the same
• 11:30
  Skyler: time, I don't reckon I can guarantee that we don't have any
• 11:34
  Skyler: investors from this Faerun.
• 11:36
  Sir Bellywiggle: Well, you're about to.
• 11:37
  Skyler: Oh, you're starting a new account.
• 11:40
  Skyler: Oh, I am so sorry.
• 11:42
  Skyler: Um, Friedman.
• 11:43
  Skyler: Friedman from the front desk.
• 11:45
  Skyler: Yes.
• 11:46
  Skyler: Oh.
• 11:46
  Sir Bellywiggle: Forgive him.
• 11:47
  Sir Bellywiggle: Do not.
• 11:47
  Sir Bellywiggle: Do not criticize or bash him.
• 11:50
  Sir Bellywiggle: It might have been just a simple clerical.
• 11:52
  Skyler: It must have just been a simple.
• 11:53
  Player: How has he messed this up?
• 11:54
  Player: No.
• 11:55
  Player: Oh. I'm sorry.
• 11:56
  Player: Sorry, sorry.
• 11:57
  Skyler: Oh, right.
• 11:58
  Sir Bellywiggle: So you.
• 11:59
  Skyler: You want to begin an investment with the.
• 12:02
  Sir Bellywiggle: CEO.
• 12:03
  Skyler: For.
• 12:04
  Sir Bellywiggle: Sorry, the CEO level.
• 12:06
  Sir Bellywiggle: He was telling us about the
• 12:07
  Sir Bellywiggle: multiple levels of this
• 12:09
  Sir Bellywiggle: investment brokerage.
• 12:10
  Sir Bellywiggle: And I wanted in at the CEO level.
• 12:12
  Player: You got money, you're gonna deny his money?
• 12:15
  Player: He's got money.
• 12:15
  Skyler: No, no, no, of course not.
• 12:17
  Skyler: Okay, so, um, just so I'm clear,
• 12:18
  Skyler: you want to invest with the the
• 12:20
  Skyler: new fat caps and hats investment
• 12:23
  Skyler: opportunity?
• 12:23
  Sir Bellywiggle: Yes.
• 12:24
  Skyler: Oh.
• 12:25
  Sir Bellywiggle: At the CEO level.
• 12:26
  Skyler: At the CEO.
• 12:27
  Sir Bellywiggle: Which is why I specifically requested to talk to Miss Walker
• 12:33
  Sir Bellywiggle: herself about my investments.
• 12:35
  Skyler: Well, I totally understand.
• 12:36
  Skyler: Um, just to be clear, uh,
• 12:38
  Skyler: Alexandria Walker is incredibly
• 12:40
  Skyler: busy, and unfortunately, she she
• 12:43
  Skyler: understood?
• 12:43
  Skyler: Understood.
• 12:44
  Skyler: She has set up the business in such a way to ensure that there
• 12:50
  Skyler: is sort of a way to progress.
• 12:51
  Skyler: So nobody, nobody is allowed to jump in at the top level.
• 12:55
  Skyler: But it's not because you'll be
• 12:57
  Skyler: starting right here at the
• 12:58
  Skyler: ground floor of this investment
• 12:59
  Skyler: opportunity.
• 13:00
  Skyler: It's certainly, uh, should be a
• 13:03
  Skyler: quick and easy task, especially
• 13:04
  Skyler: for someone as financially
• 13:06
  Skyler: literate and business savvy as
• 13:07
  Skyler: you.
• 13:08
  Skyler: Mr. sir.
• 13:08
  Skyler: Belly wiggle.
• 13:09
  Sir Bellywiggle: Well, here's the thing.
• 13:11
  Sir Bellywiggle: I've got money.
• 13:13
  Sir Bellywiggle: I'm only here for a very short
• 13:15
  Sir Bellywiggle: time, and I want to establish my
• 13:18
  Sir Bellywiggle: money here.
• 13:20
  Sir Bellywiggle: You see the problem be that if I establish at the ground floor
• 13:25
  Sir Bellywiggle: and have to leave in less than a week, I will not be able to pick
• 13:28
  Sir Bellywiggle: that money up to be a higher levels of value.
• 13:31
  Sir Bellywiggle: But if I can invest at the very
• 13:33
  Sir Bellywiggle: top of the business and reap one
• 13:36
  Sir Bellywiggle: percent profit, that's all I'm
• 13:38
  Sir Bellywiggle: looking for.
• 13:39
  Player: He's only asking for one percent.
• 13:40
  Sir Bellywiggle: Call him three, two, a one percent profit in the business
• 13:45
  Sir Bellywiggle: as a whole.
• 13:45
  Sir Bellywiggle: That is all I'm asking.
• 13:47
  Sir Bellywiggle: I'm sure with this new business.
• 13:49
  Sir Bellywiggle: It is new, isn't it?
• 13:50
  Skyler: Oh yes, of course it's a it was just begun.
• 13:53
  Sir Bellywiggle: All startups need a little startup funding.
• 13:56
  Player: You need startup funding.
• 13:58
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh, startup funder.
• 13:59
  Skyler: Funder, I completely understand.
• 14:02
  Skyler: Uh, please understand that we don't technically need startup
• 14:05
  Skyler: funding because as you can see, and she kind of just gestures to
• 14:08
  Skyler: the building around her.
• 14:10
  Skyler: This has started at far higher
• 14:12
  Skyler: of a level than just simply a
• 14:13
  Skyler: startup.
• 14:14
  Skyler: This is just a business opportunity we've released to
• 14:16
  Skyler: the public to join in, but we certainly are not in need of
• 14:20
  Skyler: starting up per se.
• 14:22
  Skyler: Um, with that being said, it sounds like you'd be a lot more
• 14:24
  Skyler: interested in our, uh, other investment company, the Fortunes
• 14:28
  Skyler: embrace, which I can certainly help you with as well.
• 14:30
  Skyler: Um, honestly, that one's really up to you.
• 14:32
  Skyler: How much money do you want to put forward?
• 14:34
  Skyler: And we can simply get you our
• 14:35
  Skyler: investment, uh, begun right
• 14:36
  Skyler: away.
• 14:37
  Sir Bellywiggle: HMM.
• 14:38
  Player: He's got so much money.
• 14:40
  Player: Oh, wonderful.
• 14:41
  Player: Wonderful.
• 14:42
  Sir Bellywiggle: Does your investment process work?
• 14:44
  Sir Bellywiggle: Yes.
• 14:44
  Skyler: Of course.
• 14:44
  Skyler: So all you have to do is give us
• 14:46
  Skyler: a certain percentage of money or
• 14:47
  Skyler: a certain amount of money,
• 14:48
  Skyler: whatever you're comfortable with
• 14:49
  Skyler: investing.
• 14:50
  Skyler: Um, you will see a twenty percent return on this money,
• 14:54
  Skyler: uh, within one year's time.
• 14:57
  Skyler: Okay.
• 14:57
  Skyler: And every year going forward, you will see a twenty percent
• 14:59
  Skyler: return on that money.
• 15:00
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh.
• 15:01
  Skyler: It's, it's pretty much as simple as pretty simple.
• 15:04
  Player: So take six years to get money.
• 15:07
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh, he said, she said one year.
• 15:10
  Player: No, it's six years.
• 15:12
  Player: Hey, stupid man, your math is terrible.
• 15:14
  Sir Bellywiggle: Six years to get your money back.
• 15:17
  Player: I stand up well.
• 15:19
  Skyler: Again, this is.
• 15:20
  Player: We want in the hat business.
• 15:22
  Sir Bellywiggle: I want to talk to Miss Walker herself.
• 15:25
  Player: Do you not want his money?
• 15:26
  Skyler: I'm so sorry.
• 15:27
  Skyler: Look, I completely understand that you are here for a short
• 15:30
  Skyler: amount of time.
• 15:31
  Skyler: Um, I'm.
• 15:32
  Skyler: I really, truly don't think that
• 15:33
  Skyler: the fat caps and hats is the
• 15:35
  Skyler: correct business opportunity for
• 15:37
  Skyler: you.
• 15:37
  Skyler: Um, we don't have anything that would turn around profit within
• 15:41
  Skyler: a week if we did.
• 15:42
  Skyler: I mean, we wouldn't even release that to the public.
• 15:44
  Skyler: That's that's such an incredible business opportunity.
• 15:46
  Player: I pull out a pouch.
• 15:48
  Skyler: Okay.
• 15:49
  Player: Of one hundred gold.
• 15:50
  Skyler: Okay.
• 15:50
  Player: And just set it on the desk and go.
• 15:52
  Player: If you can take me to see Miss Dusk Walker posthaste.
• 15:56
  Player: This one hundred gold is all yours.
• 15:59
  Skyler: I, I am truly sorry, sir.
• 16:01
  Skyler: I you have to understand.
• 16:03
  Skyler: I don't have the power to take you to Alexandria Walker.
• 16:07
  Skyler: I myself couldn't go and simply
• 16:09
  Skyler: talk to Alexandria Walker if I
• 16:12
  Skyler: wanted to.
• 16:12
  Player: So who do I have to talk to?
• 16:14
  Skyler: Well, I can certainly bring in my manager, if you would like.
• 16:17
  Player: Oh, sure.
• 16:18
  Player: All right.
• 16:19
  Player: I'll just keep moving my way to the top.
• 16:22
  Skyler: She she she turns over.
• 16:24
  Skyler: She's got another one of those little phone thingies, just like
• 16:26
  Skyler: you saw out in the front desk.
• 16:27
  Player: Give me the same person.
• 16:28
  Skyler: And she she calls a number and she says, yes.
• 16:31
  Skyler: If I could get, uh, Meredith to my office.
• 16:34
  Skyler: This is Alexis.
• 16:35
  Skyler: Uh, if I could get Meredith over here.
• 16:37
  Skyler: Um, we have a high level investor who is interested in
• 16:41
  Skyler: possibly doing business directly with Alexandria Duskhawker.
• 16:45
  Skyler: Yes.
• 16:45
  Skyler: Okay.
• 16:46
  Skyler: Thank you so much.
• 16:47
  Skyler: I really appreciate it.
• 16:47
  Skyler: And then she hangs up and she
• 16:48
  Skyler: says, Meredith, she's my
• 16:50
  Skyler: manager.
• 16:51
  Skyler: She will be here in just a moment.
• 16:55
  Player: Yeah, yeah.
• 16:59
  Skyler: Okay. Sounds good.
• 17:00
  Skyler: Let's jump over to you.
• 17:01
  Player: I just sit there and I stare at her.
• 17:02
  Skyler: You're just glaring at her.
• 17:04
  Skyler: All right, let's jump over to, uh, Kato and Des.
• 17:13
  Skyler: You guys are at the front desk, and all of a sudden, the little.
• 17:16
  Skyler: Or was there anything you were
• 17:17
  Skyler: gonna do while he was gone, or
• 17:19
  Skyler: do you.
• 17:19
  Skyler: Yeah, because.
• 17:21
  Player: Wasn't there another couple?
• 17:22
  Player: Yes. Talking to another person?
• 17:24
  Player: Yes.
• 17:25
  Player: Well, I like how close within our vicinity.
• 17:28
  Skyler: Probably like ten feet at most away.
• 17:31
  Skyler: I mean, it's just like another booth over, right?
• 17:32
  Skyler: It's like one big long.
• 17:33
  Skyler: It's kind of like if you go to a
• 17:35
  Skyler: hotel, like a really nice a
• 17:37
  Skyler: nicer hotel and they've got like
• 17:38
  Skyler: long, big desk with a couple of
• 17:41
  Skyler: little partitions, but otherwise
• 17:43
  Skyler: like it's or even like a bank, a
• 17:45
  Skyler: bank is another good example,
• 17:46
  Skyler: right?
• 17:46
  Skyler: You've got multiple teller counters.
• 17:48
  Skyler: It's kind of basically like that.
• 17:50
  Player: So at the moment that other person's still going, yeah.
• 17:52
  Player: Okay, well, I'm going to employ
• 17:54
  Player: a grovel, cower and beg action,
• 17:58
  Player: and I'm going to use it to
• 18:00
  Player: pathetically distract this other
• 18:02
  Player: couple and their teller so that,
• 18:04
  Player: uh, des over here can do
• 18:07
  Player: whatever the spirit leads him to
• 18:09
  Player: do.
• 18:09
  Skyler: I cannot wait for you to
• 18:10
  Skyler: describe to me what you're
• 18:11
  Skyler: doing.
• 18:12
  Skyler: Please act it out.
• 18:13
  Player: Kaito is going to walk up to this other couple.
• 18:16
  Player: Did you describe this couple?
• 18:18
  Player: Would they like a bunch of gnomes?
• 18:19
  Player: Yes, they were.
• 18:19
  Skyler: A pair of gnomes.
• 18:20
  Skyler: And they're standing on like little stools, which is kind of
• 18:23
  Skyler: like common practice, I would imagine, in a world full of
• 18:25
  Skyler: hobbit or sorry halflings.
• 18:28
  Skyler: Gnomes and dwarves.
• 18:30
  Skyler: Toadstools.
• 18:31
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Skyler: Um, they might not be shaped like told.
• 18:36
  Skyler: If a gnome gets on a regular
• 18:37
  Skyler: stool, it magically turns into a
• 18:39
  Skyler: mushroom.
• 18:40
  Player: So yes, this gnome couple and whatever creature they're
• 18:44
  Player: talking to, Okido is going to kind of walk up to them and say,
• 18:46
  Player: excuse me, I'm sorry to do this.
• 18:49
  Player: I really am sorry to impose, but
• 18:52
  Player: I am very excited for this
• 18:53
  Player: opportunity.
• 18:54
  Player: But I just need a couple pointers from you.
• 18:56
  Player: Could you please tell me what your strategy is?
• 18:58
  Player: How do you how do you plan to grow your market?
• 19:02
  Player: How do you plan to reach the top of this this pyramid?
• 19:07
  Skyler: Uh, the gnome isn't the what you assume is like the husband.
• 19:10
  Skyler: He he starts to speak and.
• 19:12
  Random Customer: He says, well, basically our plan is.
• 19:14
  Skyler: And his wife immediately.
• 19:15
  Random Customer: Grabs him and she goes, don't tell him anything.
• 19:17
  Random Customer: He's trying to get our secrets.
• 19:18
  Random Customer: Um, we like to keep our secret.
• 19:21
  Random Customer: Actually, we've got big plans, but we're not telling anybody.
• 19:25
  Player: This is where you grovel.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Please give me your Rolodex.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: What?
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Your script.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: I need to know how to reach the top.
• 19:33
  Random Customer: Let. Look here, fellow.
• 19:34
  Random Customer: Now all you have to do is is put in a lot of hard work.
• 19:37
  Random Customer: And, uh, did you have a lot of connections?
• 19:40
  Random Customer: I, I overheard you said something about your school.
• 19:43
  Random Customer: Uh, there's a school you were planning on selling to.
• 19:45
  Random Customer: Is this that that sounds like promising?
• 19:48
  Skyler: Yes.
• 19:49
  Player: Do you employ a lot of guilt with your sales pitches?
• 19:52
  Player: Well, I've heard that is very
• 19:54
  Player: successful in this line of
• 19:56
  Player: business.
• 19:56
  Random Customer: Oh, certainly.
• 19:57
  Random Customer: Uh, in fact, we've, uh, we've
• 19:59
  Random Customer: invested in several different
• 20:00
  Random Customer: opportunities very similar to
• 20:01
  Random Customer: this one.
• 20:02
  Random Customer: We've done Prilosec.
• 20:04
  Skyler: Is that a real drug?
• 20:05
  Skyler: Yes. Oh, shoot.
• 20:06
  Skyler: Um, uh.
• 20:08
  Random Customer: Prague to stock.
• 20:09
  Random Customer: We've done belly burner, we've done bowls and such.
• 20:14
  Random Customer: Uh, we've done temper toys.
• 20:17
  Random Customer: Uh, yeah.
• 20:17
  Random Customer: So we, we're very familiar with this.
• 20:19
  Random Customer: Uh, yes.
• 20:20
  Random Customer: Sometimes the guilt factor, it really depends on who you're
• 20:23
  Random Customer: working with, right?
• 20:24
  Random Customer: So people can see through such a
• 20:26
  Random Customer: guilt driven, uh, speech or what
• 20:29
  Random Customer: have you.
• 20:30
  Random Customer: Um, but the positive side is, I
• 20:32
  Random Customer: would say one of the one of the
• 20:33
  Random Customer: biggest key things that you're
• 20:35
  Random Customer: doing right now, in fact, is
• 20:36
  Random Customer: getting in on the ground floor,
• 20:38
  Random Customer: right?
• 20:38
  Random Customer: The first investors usually end up at the top.
• 20:42
  Random Customer: And that's that's the way that's the place you want to be.
• 20:45
  Player: And which unfounded false advertising claims do you plan
• 20:49
  Player: on using to sell your product?
• 20:51
  Random Customer: Well, the, the I'm sure the, the
• 20:55
  Random Customer: nice gentleman that was
• 20:57
  Random Customer: assisting you will give you the
• 20:59
  Random Customer: facts.
• 20:59
  Skyler: And he does this with like quotations.
• 21:02
  Random Customer: And he says, see the key thing about truth.
• 21:05
  Skyler: And he does that with quotations as well.
• 21:07
  Random Customer: Is that you only have to say as much as you need to say, right.
• 21:13
  Random Customer: Uh, the key thing is keeping certain facts.
• 21:17
  Skyler: And he does quotations again.
• 21:19
  Random Customer: Out of the script entirely.
• 21:20
  Random Customer: Never even bring it up in the conversation if it gets brought
• 21:23
  Random Customer: up in the conversation, just kind of, uh, round about speak
• 21:27
  Random Customer: your way around it, you know, talk in circles if you need to
• 21:31
  Random Customer: any of that kind of stuff.
• 21:32
  Random Customer: Usually it'll kind of help you out.
• 21:34
  Player: Okay. Well, Ambassador to ambassador, can I just run a
• 21:36
  Player: couple pitches past you?
• 21:38
  Player: Is it is it is it too much for
• 21:39
  Player: me to claim that it can cure
• 21:41
  Player: cancer?
• 21:41
  Player: Or should I be a little more low key?
• 21:44
  Player: Just saying that it can stop hurricanes.
• 21:46
  Random Customer: Cancer is that he's cancer.
• 21:48
  Random Customer: Kind of like curses.
• 21:50
  Random Customer: Yes.
• 21:50
  Random Customer: Magical curses.
• 21:52
  Random Customer: Oh, uh, I would go with magical curses.
• 21:55
  Random Customer: That's probably a little bit more familiar to the people of
• 21:57
  Random Customer: of islanew, but, uh, let's see.
• 22:00
  Random Customer: Would it be too much?
• 22:02
  Random Customer: Uh, let me ask you.
• 22:03
  Random Customer: This.
• 22:03
  Random Customer: Does it.
• 22:04
  Random Customer: Here's how you phrase it.
• 22:05
  Random Customer: Here's how you phrase it.
• 22:06
  Random Customer: You tell them it's been proven that it can not not cure curses.
• 22:13
  Player: The double negative.
• 22:14
  Random Customer: Confuse them into.
• 22:16
  Player: Buying my products.
• 22:17
  Random Customer: And usually when you imply a
• 22:18
  Random Customer: double negative, you haven't
• 22:20
  Random Customer: really said anything at all
• 22:21
  Random Customer: technically speaking.
• 22:23
  Random Customer: So they can't get you.
• 22:24
  Random Customer: And that's the key thing here.
• 22:25
  Random Customer: Now the last thing that you want
• 22:26
  Random Customer: is to be taken to court over any
• 22:28
  Random Customer: claim.
• 22:29
  Random Customer: So you want to do it in such a
• 22:30
  Random Customer: way that you never actually make
• 22:31
  Random Customer: the claim.
• 22:32
  Random Customer: Like you could say, um, it hasn't, it hasn't been shown in
• 22:38
  Random Customer: studies that it can't cure curses or using this product
• 22:44
  Random Customer: could help you lose weight, but what you don't tell them is if
• 22:48
  Random Customer: you also work out regularly and, uh, in an appropriate way.
• 22:53
  Skyler: Okay. So, uh, they're, they're obviously you're, you're
• 22:56
  Skyler: pitching ideas to them.
• 22:57
  Skyler: They're, they're pitching ideas back to you, kind of helping you
• 22:59
  Skyler: along with that being said, des, what are you doing while this
• 23:02
  Skyler: distraction is ongoing?
• 23:05
  Player: Uh, when that teller pushed the button on the rotary phone.
• 23:08
  Player: Yes.
• 23:08
  Player: Could I tell a button he pushed?
• 23:10
  Skyler: Yeah, I'd say so.
• 23:12
  Player: Uh. Des jumps behind the counter.
• 23:14
  Player: Okay.
• 23:14
  Player: Fast and pushes the button.
• 23:15
  Skyler: Okay. Do me a stealth roll.
• 23:16
  Player: All right.
• 23:17
  Player: It's at advantage.
• 23:18
  Skyler: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:19
  Player: Oh, okay. Even better.
• 23:20
  Player: Yeah, I'm good at these.
• 23:22
  Player: Uh, fifteen.
• 23:23
  Skyler: You hop behind the counter and you.
• 23:25
  Random Customer: Slink.
• 23:26
  Skyler: Your way like a snake up to the to the telephone thing.
• 23:29
  Skyler: You stand you actually, as you get close to it, you see.
• 23:32
  Skyler: On the floor there's this little um circular platform.
• 23:35
  Skyler: And so you that's like right
• 23:36
  Skyler: underneath it and you're like,
• 23:37
  Skyler: oh, you know, that that's how he
• 23:39
  Skyler: went away.
• 23:41
  Skyler: And so you stand on that, you reach up, you're looking over
• 23:43
  Skyler: there and they're all focused on keto, including the person
• 23:46
  Skyler: that's behind the counter.
• 23:47
  Skyler: You hit the button, you just
• 23:48
  Skyler: hear and you feel yourself just
• 23:49
  Skyler: kind of drop like down, almost
• 23:51
  Skyler: like a slide as, uh, your, your,
• 23:55
  Skyler: uh, sliding through this tunnel
• 23:57
  Skyler: below you.
• 23:58
  Skyler: Um, and then you get popped out
• 24:00
  Skyler: and you land and you see you're
• 24:02
  Skyler: inside of just a giant
• 24:04
  Skyler: warehouse.
• 24:05
  Skyler: Um, there's huge metal, like shelving things, each one with
• 24:09
  Skyler: crates on top of them.
• 24:10
  Skyler: They're not huge crates, right.
• 24:12
  Skyler: You could personally pick up and hold one of these crates.
• 24:15
  Skyler: Um, they are labeled differently.
• 24:17
  Skyler: You see, uh, a bunch of them are labeled basic package, basic
• 24:20
  Skyler: package, so on and so forth.
• 24:22
  Skyler: You see some slightly larger ones that say premier package.
• 24:26
  Skyler: And then finally, you see these
• 24:28
  Skyler: very large boxes, uh, that are
• 24:31
  Skyler: labeled CEO.
• 24:32
  Random Customer: Packages.
• 24:33
  Skyler: And you can hear voices, uh, amidst, I mean, it's quite a few
• 24:37
  Skyler: rows of these boxes with hats, but you can hear voices, maybe a
• 24:41
  Skyler: couple things over of, uh, the guy that you were talking to
• 24:44
  Skyler: before, who we've established name is Friedman.
• 24:47
  Random Customer: And he's like, well, you have to understand, they're asking for
• 24:51
  Random Customer: periwinkle hats exclusively.
• 24:52
  Random Customer: I mean, how hard could it be that we just open up a couple of
• 24:55
  Random Customer: basic packages right now and we just put a bunch of periwinkles
• 24:58
  Random Customer: all in one package like that?
• 25:00
  Random Customer: I get that it's breaking the
• 25:01
  Random Customer: rules technically, but at the
• 25:03
  Random Customer: same time, like if it gets us a
• 25:04
  Random Customer: sale, isn't that what's
• 25:05
  Random Customer: important?
• 25:06
  Maki: Well, yeah, I mean, I guess that's what's important.
• 25:08
  Maki: But at the same time, like I was told, it's on my clipboard too.
• 25:13
  Maki: It says I'm only I'm not
• 25:16
  Maki: supposed to open the packages,
• 25:17
  Maki: period.
• 25:18
  Maki: I'm just supposed to stock them on the shelves.
• 25:20
  Player: Okay. Um, des takes a case of
• 25:24
  Player: the CEO packages and takes the
• 25:27
  Player: elevator back.
• 25:28
  Player: Back up.
• 25:28
  Player: Okay.
• 25:29
  Player: And my goal is to be out of the door.
• 25:32
  Player: Okay.
• 25:32
  Player: Before anyone else is focused on me.
• 25:35
  Player: Okay.
• 25:35
  Skyler: Sounds good.
• 25:36
  Skyler: All right.
• 25:36
  Skyler: Do me one more stealth check.
• 25:38
  Skyler: I'll say you're still at
• 25:39
  Skyler: advantage because he's still
• 25:40
  Skyler: distracting you.
• 25:41
  Skyler: I should almost take the advantage away, because now you
• 25:43
  Skyler: got a big box.
• 25:44
  Skyler: But I'll leave it alone since
• 25:45
  Skyler: there's not that many people
• 25:46
  Skyler: here.
• 25:49
  Player: Okay?
• 25:49
  Player: You could.
• 25:50
  Player: You could take advantage away if you want.
• 25:52
  Player: Oh, I don't know if I'll do one better than that.
• 25:55
  Player: Uh, twenty six.
• 25:56
  Skyler: Twenty six.
• 25:57
  Skyler: Okay. Just describe how you get this package.
• 26:01
  Skyler: You're like leaving out the door, right?
• 26:03
  Player: Oh, yeah.
• 26:04
  Player: Yeah. I'm gonna go back up the elevator with this big.
• 26:07
  Player: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:07
  Player: And I'm gonna go out the door.
• 26:09
  Player: Okay.
• 26:09
  Player: Um, it's an elevator, right?
• 26:12
  Player: Because he was gonna come back up.
• 26:13
  Player: Yes.
• 26:13
  Player: Right.
• 26:14
  Skyler: It were.
• 26:14
  Skyler: Yep. It works both ways.
• 26:15
  Player: Yeah. Okay. Okay. Because I rolled such a high stealth.
• 26:18
  Player: I'm gonna guess that the teller did not recognize that it was me
• 26:22
  Player: that came up the chute.
• 26:23
  Skyler: Oh, okay.
• 26:24
  Player: But Okay. Probably gonna hear someone come up the chute.
• 26:26
  Player: So I'm gonna say with the guy with the clipboard, he's gonna
• 26:30
  Player: be like, stock the shelves and walk out the door.
• 26:33
  Player: So he's like, oh, it's just that guy.
• 26:35
  Skyler: Yeah. Like that. Okay. Because
• 26:36
  Skyler: I'm thinking to myself, like,
• 26:37
  Skyler: you're gonna have to get this
• 26:38
  Skyler: box over.
• 26:39
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Skyler: Um, there is like off to the far end of either side of these, uh,
• 26:44
  Skyler: what was it?
• 26:45
  Skyler: The teller booths.
• 26:46
  Skyler: Right.
• 26:46
  Skyler: There's like those swing doors, those little swing doors.
• 26:48
  Skyler: So yeah, you just.
• 26:50
  Maki: Stock the shelves.
• 26:51
  Skyler: And then you go walking out and then you just.
• 26:53
  Skyler: Yeah, you head out the door.
• 26:54
  Skyler: And as far as they're concerned, they're really focused on these,
• 26:57
  Skyler: uh, customers over here.
• 26:58
  Player: So I'm gonna try and get, uh, Kato Zion just like chin chin
• 27:02
  Player: him to come out.
• 27:03
  Skyler: Okay.
• 27:04
  Player: Keita will acknowledge, and with a parting glance, he'll say.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go work on my Rolodex.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: I might even stop at the local.
• 27:11
  Player: Apothecary.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: And grab some saline.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: That should make some great fake tears.
• 27:15
  Random Customer: Oh, that sounds fantastic.
• 27:17
  Random Customer: By the way, did did you actually.
• 27:19
  Random Customer: Did you get your package?
• 27:21
  Player: It'll show up in the mail.
• 27:23
  Random Customer: Oh, you.
• 27:23
  Random Customer: Hey, you didn't tell us we could pre-order.
• 27:27
  Random Customer: I watch six, six basic packages delivered straight to my door.
• 27:32
  Skyler: And the lady back there is like.
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: I didn't know about this.
• 27:36
  Skyler: And she starts.
• 27:37
  Skyler: She's like, oh, yes.
• 27:38
  Skyler: Uh, sure.
• 27:39
  Skyler: Uh, just give me your address and we can certainly have that
• 27:42
  Skyler: sent straight to your door.
• 27:42
  Skyler: She's furiously writing it down.
• 27:44
  Skyler: Um, out of curiosity, monkey, what are you doing?
• 27:48
  Skyler: Oh.
• 27:50
  Maki: Monkey. Got bored inside.
• 27:56
  Maki: He went outside and he was playing.
• 27:58
  Skyler: With his.
• 27:59
  Maki: Buttons.
• 28:00
  Skyler: Elaborate.
• 28:01
  Maki: Uh, specifically.
• 28:03
  Skyler: one button.
• 28:05
  Maki: On clasping.
• 28:06
  Skyler: His, uh, his cloak, which is.
• 28:10
  Maki: In the shape of a.
• 28:11
  Skyler: Raven.
• 28:12
  Maki: Icon, which I don't remember.
• 28:14
  Maki: I think he knows it's magical.
• 28:16
  Skyler: Yeah, he knows, I think so, yeah.
• 28:17
  Skyler: At this point, yeah.
• 28:18
  Skyler: He's gonna try to use it.
• 28:20
  Skyler: Okay.
• 28:20
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Skyler: So I would say that with your
• 28:22
  Skyler: increased attunement to magic,
• 28:25
  Skyler: especially that you've gained
• 28:25
  Skyler: lately, um, you're able to sort
• 28:28
  Skyler: of, uh, it's, it's like that
• 28:30
  Skyler: scene in that movie with Zach
• 28:31
  Skyler: Galifianakis with all the
• 28:33
  Skyler: numbers all just kind of flying
• 28:35
  Skyler: past his head and stuff like
• 28:36
  Skyler: that as he's allegedly doing
• 28:38
  Skyler: calculations.
• 28:39
  Skyler: Um, it's kind of like that, uh, you see these purple letters and
• 28:42
  Skyler: numbers that are moving past you and you're able to kind of
• 28:45
  Skyler: navigate through them as you're touching this, this magical item
• 28:49
  Skyler: and you're able to figure out how to activate it.
• 28:51
  Skyler: And when you do, uh, basically what it's allowing you to do is
• 28:54
  Skyler: find familiar in the form exclusively of a raven.
• 28:59
  Skyler: And so as you activate this
• 29:01
  Skyler: magic, all of a sudden this bird
• 29:03
  Skyler: just flutters down and lands on
• 29:04
  Skyler: your shoulder.
• 29:05
  Maki: Ah!
• 29:06
  Maki: Right there.
• 29:07
  Player: Well, Bella.
• 29:08
  Maki: Uh, how are you doing?
• 29:12
  Maki: Aren't you a cute little guy?
• 29:14
  Maki: So I'm gonna say it looks like a
• 29:16
  Maki: raven, but it's got, like, four
• 29:19
  Maki: eyes.
• 29:19
  Maki: Oh.
• 29:20
  Random Customer: four eyed.
• 29:21
  Skyler: Raven.
• 29:22
  Skyler: Creepy.
• 29:23
  Maki: It's, like, darker than a rave.
• 29:24
  Maki: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:25
  Player: Yeah. Oh.
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah. He's just got his his hair squished down over his eyes.
• 29:31
  Skyler: On his beat her.
• 29:32
  Skyler: Kaakha kaakha kaakha kaakha kaakha kaakha kaakha.
• 29:38
  Skyler: Actually, wait, because ravens
• 29:39
  Skyler: can technically talk to some
• 29:41
  Skyler: extent, right?
• 29:43
  Skyler: So he's like.
• 29:44
  Skyler: Tonight will be the night that I will fall for.
• 29:46
  Skyler: You know, I don't know if I can do.
• 29:47
  Maki: That.
• 29:49
  Skyler: To, you know.
• 29:50
  Skyler: I can do that.
• 29:51
  Skyler: I can do that.
• 29:52
  Player: Ravens are strictly.
• 29:54
  Skyler: Yes. Ravens are IMO the most emo birds.
• 29:56
  Skyler: People think it's crows.
• 29:57
  Skyler: It's not.
• 29:58
  Player: Don't waste your time on.
• 30:01
  Maki: The marquees just out there
• 30:03
  Maki: developing this bond with this
• 30:05
  Maki: bird.
• 30:05
  Skyler: All right.
• 30:05
  Skyler: Fantastic.
• 30:06
  Skyler: And as you guys are having a good time and then all of a
• 30:09
  Skyler: sudden, uh, Dez comes strutting out with his box over his head.
• 30:14
  Skyler: And it's a big it's a big crate.
• 30:17
  Skyler: Thankfully, it's just filled with a bunch of, uh, hats that
• 30:20
  Skyler: are fabric hats.
• 30:21
  Skyler: So it's not like overly heavy.
• 30:23
  Player: What comes in the CEO package?
• 30:25
  Skyler: Are you guys busting it open?
• 30:26
  Player: You know what?
• 30:27
  Player: We might as well pack it up right now.
• 30:29
  Skyler: So I'm gonna assume maybe there's, like, a relay.
• 30:31
  Player: At least find an alley.
• 30:32
  Skyler: This whole facility, because it's so, like, nice and it's
• 30:35
  Skyler: made to look like super, uh, fancy and so on and so forth.
• 30:39
  Skyler: Right.
• 30:39
  Skyler: It's got two, uh, fountains
• 30:42
  Skyler: outside, both, of course,
• 30:44
  Skyler: different poses of Alexandria,
• 30:46
  Skyler: Dusk Walker.
• 30:47
  Skyler: And they have benches that are around it.
• 30:49
  Skyler: And I assume that's probably where Makis kind of hanging out
• 30:51
  Skyler: while he's getting to become best friends with his new bird.
• 30:54
  Skyler: Um, for, for des.
• 30:56
  Skyler: You bring it over, you pop it down.
• 30:57
  Skyler: I mean, this is a place that you can sit open.
• 30:59
  Skyler: At the end of the day, nobody
• 31:00
  Skyler: knows that you stole this
• 31:02
  Skyler: package.
• 31:02
  Skyler: As far as you know, you might
• 31:03
  Skyler: have earned it or who knows, I
• 31:05
  Skyler: don't know.
• 31:06
  Skyler: So, uh, yeah, you guys, uh, do you have any kind of tool that
• 31:10
  Skyler: you could use to open a crate, like a ten foot long glaive?
• 31:15
  Skyler: Fair point, fair point.
• 31:17
  Skyler: Okay?
• 31:18
  Skyler: Yeah, I mean, sure.
• 31:19
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 31:19
  Skyler: And also, you're a pretty strong guy.
• 31:21
  Skyler: So I'll say between that, I was just kind of curious how you'd
• 31:24
  Skyler: open it, but you pry that glaive in there and pop the nails loose
• 31:28
  Skyler: and pop the top off of it.
• 31:30
  Skyler: And inside you see two, uh, fifty different hats, all with
• 31:36
  Skyler: different patterns on them all with different colors.
• 31:40
  Skyler: Is there at least one periwinkle?
• 31:42
  Skyler: One.
• 31:42
  Skyler: There are three periwinkle.
• 31:44
  Maki: Whoa.
• 31:45
  Skyler: As you're digging through and looking through, pulling out
• 31:47
  Skyler: exclusively periwinkle ones, it's like looking for a pair of
• 31:51
  Skyler: socks and a basket full of clean laundry or dirty laundry,
• 31:55
  Skyler: depending who you are.
• 31:56
  Skyler: Okay, so fifty fifty hats.
• 31:58
  Skyler: Oh, Holy cow, I forgot you got the CEO package.
• 32:01
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 32:01
  Skyler: My apologies.
• 32:03
  Skyler: You have one?
• 32:05
  Skyler: Well, I don't know, one thousand.
• 32:07
  Skyler: I don't know hats.
• 32:08
  Skyler: I don't know how fast you're
• 32:09
  Skyler: able to count per se, but you
• 32:11
  Skyler: would estimate like you count
• 32:13
  Skyler: like a handful of them and
• 32:14
  Skyler: you're like, okay, based on how
• 32:15
  Skyler: many I have here and looking in
• 32:16
  Skyler: the box.
• 32:17
  Skyler: Sorry, I forgot I was reading the basic package.
• 32:20
  Skyler: You have one thousand two
• 32:21
  Skyler: hundred and fifty different hats
• 32:22
  Skyler: of varying colors and patterns,
• 32:24
  Skyler: and you find thirty of them with
• 32:26
  Skyler: periwinkle.
• 32:27
  Maki: That's exactly how many you wanted.
• 32:31
  Maki: That's the exact number.
• 32:34
  Maki: You're set.
• 32:35
  Maki: Cast a big net and you'll catch whatever.
• 32:37
  Skyler: That's right.
• 32:38
  Maki: You'll catch your thirty periwinkle and your thirty.
• 32:41
  Skyler: You have your thirty periwinkle hats.
• 32:43
  Skyler: If only you had a real, actual
• 32:46
  Skyler: pennbrook school to sell them
• 32:47
  Skyler: to.
• 32:48
  Maki: Oh. It's real.
• 32:49
  Skyler: Okay. Sounds good.
• 32:50
  Skyler: Um, and interestingly enough, as you look at the lid under the
• 32:55
  Skyler: underside of this lid, there's a golden letter and it simply
• 32:59
  Skyler: reads congratulations, prestige seller on your CEO package at
• 33:07
  Skyler: fat caps and hats.
• 33:08
  Skyler: Consider this your official invitation to the party.
• 33:13
  Skyler: Alexandria.
• 33:14
  Skyler: Dusk.
• 33:14
  Skyler: Walker's party next week at the.
• 33:20
  Skyler: Pennbrook at the.
• 33:21
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 33:22
  Skyler: At the Worthington's.
• 33:24
  Skyler: Sorry.
• 33:24
  Skyler: Worthington Event Center in the Central Stark district.
• 33:30
  Skyler: So, yes, you have officially secured yourselves a invitation
• 33:35
  Skyler: to the party where you have been told you can meet Alexandria
• 33:40
  Skyler: Dusk Walker in person.
• 33:42
  Skyler: With that being said, I'll leave
• 33:43
  Skyler: you guys outside looking through
• 33:45
  Skyler: your many hats, deciding what
• 33:46
  Skyler: you're going to do with the
• 33:47
  Skyler: hats.
• 33:48
  Skyler: There's nothing else in the CEO package.
• 33:50
  Skyler: Uh, there might be.
• 33:53
  Maki: Do they come with the.
• 33:54
  Jackson: Little vials in the back?
• 33:56
  Skyler: That was the question I was waiting for.
• 33:57
  Skyler: So you touch you as you're pulling out these hats and
• 34:02
  Skyler: stuff, you can feel in the seam of these hats.
• 34:05
  Skyler: I would say not all of them, but probably a good fifty of them
• 34:08
  Skyler: have vials inside of them.
• 34:10
  Jackson: MM. Interesting.
• 34:12
  Skyler: So we've got fifty doses of euphoria.
• 34:14
  Skyler: Somebody better write that down.
• 34:15
  Jackson: So wait.
• 34:16
  Jackson: Quick question.
• 34:17
  Jackson: How is euphoria consumed?
• 34:21
  Skyler: Um, I think if I remember
• 34:22
  Skyler: correctly, when you guys fought
• 34:24
  Skyler: Radhika's, he just drank it
• 34:25
  Skyler: directly.
• 34:26
  Jackson: Okay.
• 34:27
  Skyler: It's just straight like yeah, swallow it down and it goes.
• 34:31
  Skyler: Yep.
• 34:31
  Skyler: So it's good.
• 34:32
  Skyler: Good oral bioavailability.
• 34:34
  Skyler: Yep.
• 34:35
  Skyler: You take it orally.
• 34:37
  Jackson: You can probably take it other ways if you want.
• 34:39
  Jackson: And it it's highly addictive, right?
• 34:42
  Jackson: Yes.
• 34:42
  Jackson: Gotcha.
• 34:43
  Jackson: So if I like sprinkle it in their face like I'm anointing
• 34:46
  Jackson: them with royal um, and it got into their mouth.
• 34:50
  Jackson: Would that, is that enough?
• 34:53
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 34:53
  Jackson: That enough.
• 34:53
  Skyler: It's hard to say.
• 34:55
  Skyler: Okay, obviously, you know, when it comes to addiction, it's a
• 34:57
  Skyler: lot about like the effects, what it does to you, right?
• 35:01
  Skyler: Like what it gives you, um, what it activates in your brain.
• 35:05
  Skyler: So I would say it kind of just depends.
• 35:06
  Skyler: I don't know if flicking a
• 35:07
  Skyler: little bit at them would be
• 35:08
  Skyler: enough.
• 35:08
  Skyler: I think it might activate a
• 35:10
  Skyler: little bit of the sensation, but
• 35:11
  Skyler: I don't know if it'd be enough
• 35:12
  Skyler: to.
• 35:12
  Jackson: So it's not that.
• 35:14
  Skyler: It's not that addictive.
• 35:15
  Skyler: It's addictive in higher, uh, quantities, but it's easy to get
• 35:20
  Skyler: people on those higher quantities because of the
• 35:22
  Skyler: effects of the drug.
• 35:23

• 46:15
  Skyler: handle and just let it slide
• 46:17
  Skyler: open.
• 46:17
  Skyler: Like, naturally, we're like, it doesn't look like I opened.
• 46:19
  Skyler: I just kind of like I opened it and I kind of like tap it.
• 46:22
  Skyler: So like slowly opens to reveal the staircase.
• 46:25
  Skyler: Sure.
• 46:25
  Skyler: Mind if we look?
• 46:28
  Skyler: She looks over and she sees that it's open.
• 46:31
  Skyler: She looks inside, almost as if
• 46:32
  Skyler: she had never even seen what's
• 46:34
  Skyler: back there.
• 46:35
  Skyler: She goes, oh, well, I don't have I'm not allowed back there.
• 46:41
  Skyler: Upper management.
• 46:43
  Skyler: But you only deserve to see up top.
• 46:48
  Skyler: Oh, well, uh, I mean, I have
• 46:51
  Skyler: always been a little bit curious
• 46:53
  Skyler: what's upstairs?
• 46:54
  Skyler: I mean, if we run into any bit of trouble.
• 46:57
  Skyler: What?
• 46:57
  Skyler: Come right back down.
• 47:00
  Skyler: Oh, you can just say it's all my idea.
• 47:02
  Skyler: After all, I am looking to talk.
• 47:04
  Skyler: He's got rich.
• 47:06
  Skyler: He's got money.
• 47:07
  Skyler: Oh, I suppose you said your
• 47:08
  Skyler: friends with Doug Walker, are
• 47:10
  Skyler: you?
• 47:10
  Skyler: Yes.
• 47:11
  Skyler: Well, pen pals rather.
• 47:13
  Skyler: Pen pals.
• 47:13
  Skyler: Well, I'm not from around here.
• 47:15
  Skyler: I'm gonna be walking.
• 47:16
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 47:16
  Skyler: You're walking.
• 47:17
  Skyler: I'm talking.
• 47:18
  Skyler: She's not going to give her a chance to stop me.
• 47:19
  Skyler: I'm just gonna keep walking.
• 47:20
  Skyler: She's following along just like her.
• 47:22
  Skyler: I walked behind her, and I
• 47:23
  Skyler: slowly just kind of closed the
• 47:25
  Skyler: door.
• 47:25
  Skyler: Smart, smart.
• 47:26
  Skyler: Okay.
• 47:27
  Skyler: Uh, you guys are inside, so it's it's weird.
• 47:29
  Skyler: It's a strange room because it's sort of almost like a spire.
• 47:32
  Skyler: And there's just the stairway that just goes up.
• 47:35
  Skyler: Is it narrow or is it like a wider?
• 47:37
  Skyler: It's actually a really wide stairway spiral or straight up.
• 47:40
  Skyler: It's it goes up and then it
• 47:42
  Skyler: curves around to the left as if
• 47:44
  Skyler: this is a room above, uh, sort
• 47:46
  Skyler: of where the teller booths and
• 47:48
  Skyler: stuff are.
• 47:48
  Skyler: Would she have any like pockets or anything on her?
• 47:50
  Skyler: Potentially.
• 47:51
  Skyler: Oh, definitely.
• 47:52
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 47:53
  Skyler: Worthwhile.
• 47:53
  Skyler: Like, I don't know, like keys to the place or anything like that.
• 47:56
  Skyler: Well, she just told you that she
• 47:58
  Skyler: doesn't even have access to this
• 47:59
  Skyler: area.
• 47:59
  Skyler: Keys.
• 48:00
  Skyler: Maybe other places, or she might.
• 48:01
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 48:02
  Skyler: Okay.
• 48:02
  Skyler: I would like to do sleight of
• 48:03
  Skyler: hand to see if I can find
• 48:04
  Skyler: anything.
• 48:04
  Skyler: Okay.
• 48:05
  Skyler: Because he's walking her and I'm right behind her.
• 48:08
  Skyler: I'm like, I'm like, if I get caught, she's like, oh, I just
• 48:10
  Skyler: tripped, you know?
• 48:10
  Skyler: Sure.
• 48:11
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 48:11
  Skyler: But I got really good hands.
• 48:13
  Skyler: Yeah, yeah, go for it.
• 48:16
  Skyler: Uh, I'm gonna use my second look.
• 48:20
  Skyler: Okay.
• 48:20
  Skyler: Okay.
• 48:21
  Skyler: Well, uh, seventeen, seventeen.
• 48:24
  Skyler: Okay.
• 48:24
  Skyler: Um, I would say, uh, you you
• 48:27
  Skyler: managed to reach into one of her
• 48:28
  Skyler: pockets and you pull out a
• 48:30
  Skyler: something familiar.
• 48:31
  Skyler: It's an ID badge.
• 48:33
  Skyler: Very much like the ones that you have.
• 48:36
  Random Customer: Oh, man.
• 48:37
  Skyler: These guys all found it.
• 48:38
  Skyler: And we're like, oh, what are these?
• 48:39
  Skyler: Are you would have had one of these like forever ago.
• 48:41
  Skyler: Um, so you recognize this familiar.
• 48:44
  Skyler: Everybody here typically has one of these IDs with sort of an
• 48:49
  Skyler: inlaid gemstone in them.
• 48:50
  Skyler: And you guys all found them on your new bodies when you first
• 48:54
  Skyler: came to islanew those badges?
• 48:56
  Skyler: Yep.
• 48:56
  Skyler: So you find her badge and.
• 49:00
  Random Customer: It.
• 49:00
  Skyler: Is the stone is a magenta color and.
• 49:05
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 49:06
  Skyler: And you know that they represent districts.
• 49:09
  Skyler: It kind of kind of their ID badges.
• 49:12
  Skyler: They're essentially ID badges and they have potentially access
• 49:16
  Skyler: to get you into certain places.
• 49:18
  Cameron: Go ahead and pocket that.
• 49:19
  Skyler: Yep, yep.
• 49:20
  Skyler: Okay.
• 49:20
  Cameron: And my dearest, have you been working out well?
• 49:24
  Skyler: Uh, it doesn't.
• 49:25
  Skyler: This only last for a minute.
• 49:26
  Skyler: An hour.
• 49:27
  Skyler: Oh.
• 49:28
  Skyler: Oh. Well, then.
• 49:28
  Skyler: Okay, well, let's just keep going.
• 49:30
  Cameron: If it was a minute, I'd be rushing this.
• 49:32
  Cameron: Yes, yes, I have an hour after it's all over, they reckon.
• 49:35
  Skyler: Yes, this is true.
• 49:36
  Skyler: Yes.
• 49:37
  Cameron: Uh, so I've got a time frame.
• 49:40
  Cameron: I'm dancing between here.
• 49:41
  Cameron: Sure, sure.
• 49:42
  Cameron: We'll just kill it now.
• 49:43
  Cameron: Well, so I like to imagine we walk to the top of the stairs.
• 49:48
  Skyler: Yes. All right, so you walk to
• 49:50
  Skyler: the top of the stairs and you
• 49:51
  Skyler: arrive in a giant room that has
• 49:55
  Skyler: a black and white tiles kind of
• 49:58
  Skyler: inter whatever.
• 49:59
  Skyler: Basically almost like a chessboard that just goes all
• 50:01
  Skyler: the way to the end where you see an elevator door, which I guess
• 50:06
  Skyler: is I'm gonna describe it that way for you guys, the players
• 50:09
  Skyler: and those who are listening.
• 50:09
  Cameron: It's just like a living room.
• 50:11
  Skyler: Your characters have no idea what the heck an elevator door
• 50:13
  Skyler: is, but it looks like a set of sort of narrow double doors.
• 50:16
  Cameron: Rorik does.
• 50:17
  Cameron: There was a drow castle we went
• 50:19
  Cameron: to and they had an A lifting
• 50:21
  Cameron: device.
• 50:21
  Cameron: That's why we're seeing one of these before, actually.
• 50:24
  Cameron: Okay, I'm just looking, like in the room, making sure there's
• 50:27
  Cameron: nothing like it.
• 50:28
  Cameron: Seems like a weird room.
• 50:29
  Cameron: Okay.
• 50:30
  Cameron: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Cameron: I just want to make sure there's nothing.
• 50:31
  Skyler: You're only like a perception check.
• 50:32
  Cameron: Yeah, just.
• 50:33
  Cameron: Yeah.
• 50:35
  Skyler: What'd you get?
• 50:35
  Cameron: Uh, I got a nine.
• 50:37
  Cameron: I mean, everything.
• 50:38
  Skyler: In here seems very clean.
• 50:40
  Cameron: Is it open?
• 50:41
  Skyler: Like the whole room?
• 50:43
  Skyler: Yeah, it's just a big open room.
• 50:44
  Skyler: Everything in here seems very clean.
• 50:46
  Skyler: It's very.
• 50:47
  Skyler: In fact, it's very well polished, like somebody comes
• 50:49
  Skyler: through here and and mops.
• 50:51
  Skyler: This floor regularly is what you garnish.
• 50:54
  Cameron: Okay. And so it just leads this room just leads to the elevator.
• 50:59
  Cameron: All right.
• 51:00
  Random Customer: Well, I say, well, look at this.
• 51:02
  Random Customer: I guess there's a oh, I've never been up here before.
• 51:05
  Random Customer: Let's go explore what that door leads to.
• 51:08
  Random Customer: Lead the way.
• 51:09
  Cameron: I walk over and does it just have a up a button to push?
• 51:12
  Skyler: So you're heading towards the elevator?
• 51:14
  Cameron: Yeah.
• 51:14
  Skyler: Okay. All right.
• 51:15
  Skyler: You step on the first tile and as soon as both feet touch the
• 51:19
  Skyler: tile, you feel yourself getting thrown backwards and you kind of
• 51:24
  Skyler: like, hit and skid across the floor for a second.
• 51:27
  Skyler: Whoa.
• 51:28
  Cameron: What was that?
• 51:29
  Cameron: I rolled a dexterity saving throw.
• 51:31
  Cameron: They catch my stomach from the pillow flying out.
• 51:34
  Cameron: Oh, okay.
• 51:35
  Cameron: I hold on to my stomach.
• 51:36
  Cameron: Yeah, yeah, a bit.
• 51:38
  Speaker 19: Of a spot of bother there a bit.
• 51:40
  Speaker 19: There seems to be a draft in here.
• 51:42
  Random Customer: That was weird.
• 51:43
  Random Customer: I've never seen anything like that before.
• 51:45
  Random Customer: And I dust myself off, hit the old belly, and then I walk it up
• 51:49
  Random Customer: and I go, oh, it appears this is a bit of a trap.
• 51:53
  Random Customer: Traps won't trap.
• 51:55
  Random Customer: Might be the wrong word.
• 51:56
  Random Customer: A hindrance to stop anyone who's not allowed access to that door.
• 52:02
  Random Customer: I'm starting to get a little bit
• 52:04
  Random Customer: concerned that I shouldn't be up
• 52:05
  Random Customer: here.
• 52:06
  Random Customer: Well, it's okay as long seems dangerous.
• 52:10
  Random Customer: We know the code.
• 52:11
  Random Customer: Then we should be allowed up there.
• 52:14
  Random Customer: I don't know the code.
• 52:16
  Random Customer: I looked around to see if
• 52:17
  Random Customer: there's anything that could give
• 52:19
  Random Customer: the code.
• 52:19
  Skyler: Um, the only thing other than the tiles is that I'd say maybe
• 52:24
  Skyler: like a third of the way, and then two thirds of the way on
• 52:27
  Skyler: either side of the room.
• 52:28
  Skyler: There's just a column, just a
• 52:30
  Skyler: plain column, um, on either
• 52:32
  Skyler: side.
• 52:32
  Skyler: So there's a total of four columns that essentially are
• 52:34
  Skyler: holding this room up aside from the tiles on the floor.
• 52:36
  Skyler: That's the only thing that you see.
• 52:38
  Skyler: Um, otherwise it's very.
• 52:40
  Random Customer: Plain.
• 52:40
  Random Customer: Ah, the floor is the floor checkered.
• 52:42
  Random Customer: So it's like constantly alternating.
• 52:44
  Random Customer: Okay.
• 52:45
  Random Customer: Oh, wait a second.
• 52:48
  Random Customer: Also, the.
• 52:48
  Skyler: Walls are are plain white, so
• 52:51
  Skyler: it's not checkered throughout
• 52:52
  Skyler: the entire room, so the walls
• 52:54
  Skyler: and ceiling are just plain
• 52:55
  Skyler: white.
• 52:56
  Skyler: Um, there are lights up on the ceiling, but otherwise yeah, the
• 53:00
  Skyler: floor itself is.
• 53:01
  Random Customer: How far across to the other side where it's not checkered like.
• 53:04
  Skyler: a hundred feet or so.
• 53:06
  Random Customer: Eesh. That's really far away.
• 53:08
  Random Customer: Yeah. Um, can I cast unseen servant in front of me?
• 53:11
  Random Customer: Yes.
• 53:14
  Random Customer: And I'm just gonna have it start
• 53:15
  Random Customer: walking across to see if it
• 53:17
  Random Customer: triggers the floor tiles as
• 53:19
  Random Customer: well.
• 53:20
  Skyler: Technically unseen servant doesn't list as like any kind of
• 53:24
  Skyler: weight or really existing.
• 53:26
  Skyler: It just has a string, a limited strength.
• 53:30
  Skyler: Uh, yeah.
• 53:31
  Skyler: Unseen servant is a strength of two.
• 53:34
  Skyler: Unseen servant is able to walk across the floor up to the
• 53:39
  Skyler: length of the spell, which I want to say might be sixty feet.
• 53:43
  Random Customer: Sixty feet.
• 53:43
  Random Customer: Yeah, he's over sixty feet.
• 53:45
  Skyler: So he's able to go sixty feet.
• 53:46
  Random Customer: Well, I don't know where he is.
• 53:47
  Random Customer: Yeah.
• 53:48
  Random Customer: What?
• 53:48
  Random Customer: Can I see him?
• 53:50
  Skyler: I don't think so, technically.
• 53:51
  Skyler: But you.
• 53:52
  Skyler: You know that he is following
• 53:53
  Skyler: orders and you're not seeing
• 53:55
  Skyler: anything.
• 53:56
  Random Customer: But I don't see, like, the floor lighting up or anything.
• 53:58
  Random Customer: Right.
• 53:59
  Random Customer: Okay.
• 53:59
  Random Customer: Um, so he's sixty feet over there.
• 54:01
  Random Customer: That's cool.
• 54:02
  Random Customer: Um, don't really know what that's gonna do for me.
• 54:05
  Random Customer: I.
• 54:06
  Skyler: Oh.
• 54:07
  Random Customer: Is there a look appear to be
• 54:08
  Random Customer: like a lever or anything on
• 54:09
  Random Customer: either side that might turn this
• 54:11
  Random Customer: puzzle off?
• 54:12
  Skyler: Uh.
• 54:14
  Random Customer: No, no. Okay. Fair enough.
• 54:17
  Random Customer: Except for a button to push for the door.
• 54:19
  Random Customer: Right?
• 54:20
  Random Customer: So there is a button to push for the door next to it.
• 54:22
  Random Customer: Yeah.
• 54:23
  Random Customer: Okay.
• 54:23
  Random Customer: Um, um.
• 54:25
  Random Customer: Little sauce do you happen to have?
• 54:27
  Random Customer: Sorry, Fredo, do you have do go well with the little sauce.
• 54:32
  Random Customer: Yes they do.
• 54:33
  Random Customer: Fredo, do you happen to have a flying.
• 54:37
  Random Customer: Can you fly?
• 54:38
  Random Customer: No.
• 54:39
  Random Customer: Oh. Well, it appears that we've hit a bit of a standstill here.
• 54:48
  Random Customer: I should say so.
• 54:49
  Random Customer: HMM.
• 54:50
  Random Customer: Should we?
• 54:51
  Random Customer: Uh, this is the only other place this place goes.
• 54:56
  Random Customer: That's all I saw.
• 54:57
  Random Customer: Yeah, this this is the top of the stairs.
• 54:59
  Random Customer: So there's your office area.
• 55:01
  Skyler: Yep. On the other.
• 55:02
  Random Customer: Side, the staircase that's behind this door.
• 55:05
  Random Customer: And then there's the basement
• 55:06
  Random Customer: where all the packages and stuff
• 55:08
  Random Customer: are.
• 55:08
  Random Customer: How'd you know about that?
• 55:09
  Random Customer: Well, that's where I saw him send, receive and send them from
• 55:13
  Random Customer: the front desk.
• 55:14
  Random Customer: Oh, well, yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
• 55:23
  Random Customer: That's quite a that's quite an assumption, but yeah.
• 55:25
  Random Customer: Fair enough.
• 55:26
  Random Customer: Uh, I could have been totally
• 55:28
  Random Customer: wrong, but you just gave me the
• 55:30
  Random Customer: answer.
• 55:30
  Random Customer: Oh, sure.
• 55:31
  Random Customer: Yeah, of course.
• 55:32
  Random Customer: We got to store the stuff somewhere.
• 55:34
  Random Customer: So those are all the schematics, so.
• 55:40
  Skyler: Seems like we've really fully toured this place.
• 55:43
  Skyler: Yeah, we got the full tour.
• 55:45
  Skyler: And this is more tour than I've seen.
• 55:47
  Skyler: Well, look at that.
• 55:48
  Skyler: So we all learned something today.
• 55:50
  Skyler: Indeed.
• 55:50
  Skyler: The only thing is we didn't meet Miss Walker.
• 55:54
  Skyler: Like I said, she's a busy woman.
• 55:56
  Skyler: MM. True.
• 55:57
  Skyler: Can I step on another tile?
• 55:59
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 55:59
  Skyler: Go for it.
• 56:00
  Skyler: A black one, nothing happens.
• 56:02
  Skyler: Um. Nothing happened.
• 56:04
  Skyler: So am I assuming each tiles.
• 56:06
  Skyler: How big is each tile?
• 56:07
  Skyler: Uh, probably two, two by two.
• 56:11
  Skyler: Two by two.
• 56:12
  Skyler: I'm gonna have to step on, like,
• 56:14
  Skyler: fifty of them to get across this
• 56:16
  Skyler: road.
• 56:16
  Skyler: It's one hundred and twenty, so you'd have to step on like,
• 56:18
  Skyler: let's say it's about one hundred and twenty feet across.
• 56:20
  Skyler: It's you'd have to step up sixty tiles.
• 56:23
  Skyler: That's not happening.
• 56:24
  Skyler: And not to not to give any hints
• 56:25
  Skyler: away, but I'm over here just
• 56:26
  Skyler: rolling.
• 56:27
  Skyler: I know.
• 56:28
  Skyler: For each tile.
• 56:29
  Skyler: So I know you got fifty nine more to go.
• 56:31
  Skyler: I know there's a solution, but I.
• 56:33
  Quinn: Would like to step on the one he's on.
• 56:35
  Cameron: No, there's no room.
• 56:37
  Skyler: Fredo. Yeah. Oh, no. He's. He's
• 56:38
  Skyler: a big guy on the one next to
• 56:40
  Skyler: him.
• 56:40
  Skyler: Okay.
• 56:43
  Skyler: Yeah, you get thrown backwards.
• 56:44
  Skyler: No. Just like he did before.
• 56:45
  Quinn: Any damage?
• 56:46
  Skyler: No.
• 56:47
  Quinn: I'd like to step on the one two over for him.
• 56:52
  Skyler: You are thrown to the left wall, and you slam into it and take
• 57:00
  Skyler: eight points of damage.
• 57:03
  Skyler: And then as you slam against it and hit the ground, the tile
• 57:08
  Skyler: below you activates and throws you backwards to the start.
• 57:13
  Sir Bellywiggle: Oh my gosh, are you okay?
• 57:16
  Sir Bellywiggle: No. I need some rubbing on my back.
• 57:19
  Sir Bellywiggle: It hurts.
• 57:20
  Sir Bellywiggle: Well, I'm not really qualified for that, so, uh, you should go
• 57:24
  Sir Bellywiggle: find a medical professional.
• 57:25
  Sir Bellywiggle: Perhaps a masseuse.
• 57:27
  Quinn: I step on the fourth one.
• 57:29
  Skyler: Okay.
• 57:29
  Quinn: Nothing happens except for the head.
• 57:34
  Sir Bellywiggle: You're gonna get yourself out, Fredo.

  Skyler: Yeah.

  Skyler: Um, so she takes you guys downstairs, and she, uh, goes

  Duskwalker Employee: I've not been allowed upstairs.
• 1:00:29
  Duskwalker Employee: Oh.

  Skyler: Those were my other associates.
• 1:00:35
  Skyler: Uh, they do need to be paid for but purchased.
• 1:00:39
  Skyler: Pay on the way out.
• 1:00:40
  Skyler: I just don't want anyone else to take.
• 1:00:42
  Skyler: Oh no. I won't let anyone take them.

  Skyler: Esquire.

  Skyler: Perfect.

  Skyler: Oh, you guys are already.
• 1:00:55
  Skyler: Oh, sorry.
• 1:00:56
  Skyler: I wait to go down to the basement.
• 1:00:58
  Skyler: Yes.
• 1:00:58
  Skyler: She leads you over and she says, oh, well, uh, uh, there's only
• 1:01:01
  Skyler: gonna be one at a time on these.
• 1:01:03
  Skyler: Uh, but we do have three separate stations, so, uh, just
• 1:01:06
  Skyler: stand right there.
• 1:01:07
  Skyler: Yep.
• 1:01:08
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:01:08
  Skyler: And they're.
• 1:01:09
  Skyler: Oh. Oh, it's a tight fit.
• 1:01:11
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 1:01:12
  Skyler: And just press the the five.
• 1:01:16
  Skyler: There's multiple numbers.
• 1:01:17
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 1:01:18
  Skyler: What are the numbers range from, uh, one through zero.
• 1:01:23
  Skyler: So one through ten technically.
• 1:01:26
  Skyler: MM. But just to clarify here, it's, it's one of those like old
• 1:01:31
  Skyler: pole dial phones.
• 1:01:33
  Skyler: So you would put.
• 1:01:34
  Skyler: Yes.
• 1:01:34
  Skyler: Thank you.
• 1:01:35
  Skyler: A rotary phone?
• 1:01:35
  Skyler: Yes.
• 1:01:35
  Skyler: So you put your finger in the
• 1:01:36
  Skyler: number, then you pull it down,
• 1:01:38
  Skyler: and then that's the number you
• 1:01:40
  Skyler: dialed.
• 1:01:40
  Skyler: Is there a sign that says what each number represents?
• 1:01:44
  Skyler: Um, no. Because the only one that has the feature of a button
• 1:01:48
  Skyler: is the five.
• 1:01:49
  Skyler: Like you can press the five.
• 1:01:52
  Skyler: Oh, well, all the other ones would be manual.
• 1:01:55
  Skyler: Well, they're just numbers.
• 1:01:56
  Skyler: I'm gonna push five then.
• 1:01:57
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:01:57
  Skyler: You push five, you feel the floor underneath you open up.
• 1:02:00
  Skyler: As much as I would love to do a bit where you get stuck or
• 1:02:04
  Skyler: bypass that, I'm not that big.
• 1:02:05
  Skyler: We've already established that an entire CEO package can go up
• 1:02:09
  Skyler: and down these things.
• 1:02:10
  Skyler: So it has to be fairly large.
• 1:02:12
  Skyler: Um little sauce.
• 1:02:13
  Skyler: Are you doing the same?
• 1:02:14
  Skyler: I am smaller than one thousand two hundred hats.
• 1:02:16
  Skyler: Yes.
• 1:02:17
  Skyler: Little sauce.
• 1:02:18
  Skyler: Are you doing the same?
• 1:02:19
  Skyler: Yeah, I'm just strolling with him.
• 1:02:20
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:02:20
  Skyler: So you pushed your five.
• 1:02:22
  Skyler: You go down as soon as Meredith sees you both push a five, she
• 1:02:24
  Skyler: pushes five, she goes down.
• 1:02:26
  Skyler: So you all.
• 1:02:26
  Skyler: Pop pop pop. Um, pop out the bottom.
• 1:02:29
  Skyler: You guys are inside of the big basement storage area.
• 1:02:33
  Sir Bellywiggle: Excellent.
• 1:02:34
  Merideth: Oh yeah.
• 1:02:35
  Merideth: So as you can see, this is where
• 1:02:36
  Merideth: we store all of the packages for
• 1:02:38
  Merideth: the fat caps and hats, uh,
• 1:02:40
  Merideth: business.
• 1:02:41
  Merideth: Uh, you can see over here, we
• 1:02:43
  Merideth: have a whole stock of the basic
• 1:02:45
  Merideth: packages.
• 1:02:45
  Merideth: Uh, what is the CEO package?
• 1:02:47
  Merideth: Oh, yes.
• 1:02:48
  Merideth: The CEO packages are right over.
• 1:02:50
  Skyler: Here and she takes you over.
• 1:02:51
  Skyler: She shows you these very large packages.
• 1:02:54
  Merideth: Anyways, so, uh, these, uh, yes.
• 1:02:56
  Merideth: So these are the, the packages
• 1:02:58
  Merideth: anyway, uh, so I'll be taking
• 1:03:00
  Merideth: one.
• 1:03:01
  Merideth: Oh, you have one upstairs.
• 1:03:03
  Merideth: Oh, no, a CEO.
• 1:03:04
  Merideth: Oh, sorry.
• 1:03:05
  Merideth: We can only sell the CEO packages to somebody that is
• 1:03:09
  Merideth: sold, not sold.
• 1:03:10
  Frito: And I will dance for merchandise.
• 1:03:15
  Frito: I will dance for her.
• 1:03:16
  Frito: You just stop trying to dance.
• 1:03:18
  Frito: I'm gonna try and dance, but I'm gonna roll a disadvantage
• 1:03:21
  Frito: because I'm, like, incredibly injured just to distract her.
• 1:03:25
  Frito: Like I'm convinced my dancing will work.
• 1:03:27
  Skyler: Okay. I feel like you're just desperate to do the dance.
• 1:03:30
  Skyler: He's gonna kill over at disadvantage.
• 1:03:32
  Frito: Yeah.
• 1:03:32
  Skyler: What did you get?
• 1:03:33
  Frito: Fifteen plus performance.
• 1:03:35
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:03:36
  Frito: Sixteen.
• 1:03:37
  Skyler: Okay. With your broken bones, you're able to do.
• 1:03:39
  Skyler: You did.
• 1:03:40
  Frito: A.
• 1:03:40
  Skyler: Pop lock.
• 1:03:41
  Skyler: Yeah. You're doing the most
• 1:03:42
  Skyler: enticing, like pop lock sort of
• 1:03:44
  Skyler: thing.
• 1:03:45
  Skyler: Weird thing.
• 1:03:46
  Skyler: Uh, there's a lot of, like, serpentine moves, and I was.
• 1:03:49
  Frito: Like, pulling in, like, get one, get one.
• 1:03:51
  Skyler: It's really disturbing to watch, but she is pretty enticed.
• 1:03:54
  Skyler: She's impressed that you're able to dance.
• 1:03:56
  Frito: Boxes are massive, aren't they?
• 1:03:57
  Skyler: Yeah, they're pretty big.
• 1:03:58
  Frito: I don't know how you expect me to pickpocket one.
• 1:04:01
  Frito: Oh, wait, I have a bag of holding.
• 1:04:02
  Frito: Oh, my word.
• 1:04:03
  Skyler: I don't think you can fit this in the.
• 1:04:05
  Skyler: You couldn't open it up.
• 1:04:07
  Frito: Can I open and dump it?
• 1:04:08
  Skyler: Okay. How are you opening this package?
• 1:04:10
  Skyler: This.
• 1:04:10
  Skyler: This crate.
• 1:04:11
  Skyler: I have a dagger.
• 1:04:13
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:04:14
  Skyler: It's good.
• 1:04:14
  Skyler: Crate.
• 1:04:15
  Skyler: It's a crate, a wooden crate.
• 1:04:17
  Frito: I open theirs.
• 1:04:18
  Skyler: They brought it outside, and
• 1:04:20
  Skyler: Kaito popped it open with his
• 1:04:22
  Skyler: glaive.
• 1:04:23
  Skyler: I'm just gonna pop.
• 1:04:26
  Frito: It.
• 1:04:26
  Skyler: Open. Well, she's distracting.
• 1:04:28
  Skyler: I'm gonna use my crowbar.
• 1:04:30
  Skyler: Oh, do you have a crowbar?
• 1:04:32
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:04:32
  Skyler: And I hammer it with my hammer and it pops open, right?
• 1:04:36
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 1:04:37
  Skyler: I mean, you're distracting is distracting, but also, like,
• 1:04:39
  Skyler: that's a lot of noise.
• 1:04:40
  Skyler: Oh, no. Very much.
• 1:04:42
  Skyler: If she sees us, she looks over and she sees it, and she's like,
• 1:04:44
  Skyler: look at me.
• 1:04:46
  Skyler: I started doing the bang.
• 1:04:49
  Skyler: I mean, here's the thing.
• 1:04:51
  Skyler: You can jump between, but at the end of the day, I think she's
• 1:04:53
  Skyler: gonna be like, what is going on over there one way or another?
• 1:04:57
  Merideth: Uh, excuse me.
• 1:04:58
  Merideth: Uh, Mr., uh, sir?
• 1:05:00
  Merideth: Uh, Billy wiggle.
• 1:05:00
  Merideth: Uh, yes, I, I really can't have you in that CEO package.
• 1:05:05
  Merideth: Oh, I'm just looking what one looks like, and I open it up to
• 1:05:09
  Merideth: see what's inside.
• 1:05:10
  Skyler: Uh, it's just a whole bunch of hats and the thing.
• 1:05:13
  Skyler: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:14
  Skyler: You see the thing stuck to the top?
• 1:05:15
  Skyler: That's true.
• 1:05:16
  Merideth: Oh, look at all these hats.
• 1:05:18
  Merideth: Let me see if any Pembroke exclusives are in here.
• 1:05:21
  Merideth: And I'm going to go fishing, but I'm gonna stand in front of it.
• 1:05:25
  Skyler: So I'm blocking it all.
• 1:05:26
  Skyler: And I'm going to look like with one.
• 1:05:27
  Skyler: I'm going to look like I'm like throwing hats behind me.
• 1:05:31
  Skyler: Then I'm gonna grab the invitation and pocket it with
• 1:05:35
  Skyler: sleight of hand while I'm throwing hats out.
• 1:05:37
  Skyler: Okay.
• 1:05:37
  Skyler: It's like an emotion.
• 1:05:38
  Skyler: Basically.
• 1:05:38
  Skyler: I grab an emotion.
• 1:05:40
  Skyler: Okay, but I'm like in front of
• 1:05:41
  Skyler: it, so they can't really see it,
• 1:05:42
  Skyler: right?
• 1:05:43
  Skyler: I imagine this creates as big as me.
• 1:05:45
  Skyler: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty big.
• 1:05:52
  Skyler: Okay, so you pocket this invitation while you're sort of
• 1:05:56
  Skyler: throwing these hats all over the place and she's going, oh, you
• 1:05:59
  Skyler: gotta be careful with the.
