1:18
Welcome to Die Sized and welcome back to camp Second Chance.
1:21
This is a role for Shoes Adventure that follows
1:23
troublemakers Goody, Joey and Monty as they attempt to uncover
1:26
what's really going on behind the scenes here at camp and
1:30
playing these incredible characters.
1:32
My jolly, joyful, jovial table of family members.
1:35
Here we of course have my brother-in-law George.
1:38
Hey, it's G Welcome. Hi, it's Goody.
1:43
Yeah, George had to go. It's nice to be here.
1:46
You sure you're not Batty? Oh yeah, my shoes are off.
1:49
Sorry. Yeah, No, it's Batty.
1:50
Excited to be here, happy to commit any.
1:53
I mean, do anything you guys want to do?
1:56
And next we have Rob. Hey, it's a it's actually a Joey
2:00
trombone again. That guy doesn't show up.
2:02
He shows a blessed and further do if I'm like, am I right?
2:04
Am I right? I've been here so long.
2:06
It's an inside joke. I know you guys should have
2:08
been. I do podcasting now so if you
2:11
guys want me on the show I could be here full time.
2:14
Notable silence You. Know.
2:17
What? I'll take your card.
2:19
I know at this point that you can edit that stuff out.
2:21
We would we have to keep it in now, Little Miss.
2:25
And of course, Little Miss Maya. Sorry, Little Miss Miley used to
2:31
be my like. Yeah, I.
2:33
Was like smiley Miley anyways. Lame.
2:35
Who is this Maya you speak of? It's literally Monty and I told
2:39
you that last time, can you remember?
2:41
Hey, cute little family stories about love aren't lame, OK?
2:45
Miss Miley, that is excellent foreshadowing.
2:48
I'm proud of you, Joey. Oh my, once more, you cannot
2:52
canonically be here. I snuck it, I followed the
2:55
little bad one. Oh yeah, my, he's a bad
2:59
influence even on you. My oh God, he'll.
3:01
Be better. I gave him a sandwich.
3:03
OK, whatever you say, you 2 are terrible.
3:07
And with that, it's time for a recap.
3:12
Last time, our campers uncovered some big secrets around Camp
3:16
Second Chance. They were the first campers of
3:18
the year to experience the perplexing powers of the Lantern
3:21
Path, and felt a strange sense of synchrony with the lanterns
3:25
as their moods ebbed and flowed, causing them to glow brighter
3:28
and the forest to seemingly warp around them.
3:31
The lanterns were tattered and worn, some sporting graffiti for
3:35
more than five years ago. They looked tired, overworked.
3:41
Eventually Goody, Monty and Joey settled in for sleep, squished
3:44
together in their tent, suspended above the ground in a
3:47
web like hammock. The next day, back at camp,
3:50
Monty confronted Lottie about her poor fashion choices and her
3:54
suspicions proved useful. Lottie revealed A tragic forearm
3:58
tattoo featuring Brock's name and attempted to bribe Monty
4:01
into silence, but not before Monty spotted a fat wad of cash
4:05
in Lottie's Fanny pack. In the rafters above, Goody
4:09
stole as much bacon as they could possibly carry raw and
4:12
cooked. When pressed about the lanterns,
4:15
Lottie proved useless, insisting that she doesn't know what's up
4:18
with those stupid lanterns. They're just special.
4:21
Meanwhile, Joey spied on an equally clueless Brock at the
4:24
beach, sleuthing around a storage shed and discovering
4:27
boxes upon boxes of brand new camp equipment marked with post.
4:31
Its featuring random names as the pieces began to click into
4:35
place for this trio. Judd rolled up to the shed in
4:38
his bobcat, attempting to confront Joey.
4:41
In a heated exchange, Judd admitted to teaming up with
4:44
Brock, attempting to make a quick buck by selling camp
4:47
supplies on Facebook Marketplace.
4:49
But while the adults were proving to be selfish and
4:52
totally oblivious about the source of the Lantern's power,
4:55
you know that there is more to discover about what's happening
4:58
along the path. Why are the lanterns seeming to
5:01
lash out? And can anything be done to give
5:03
this camp a second chance of its own?
5:06
Our story left off with explosives in the tailpipe of
5:09
Judd's bobcat, an ignition rigged to spark and our trio
5:13
scuttling towards the beach to avoid the consequences of their
5:16
actions. Judd's bobcat has seen better
5:22
days after its rear Fender practically exploded.
5:26
The groundskeeper is in shock. Brock too stands slack jawed as
5:31
he tries to process what just happened from the edge of the
5:34
beach. Here's what the three of you see
5:36
happen in quick succession. Judd dusts himself off and pass
5:42
himself down as if making sure he still has all of his limbs.
5:47
Smoke starts to billow out from underneath the bobcat.
5:50
Your improvised explosive detonated and the damage seems
5:53
far from over. You observe the spilled box of
5:56
brand new lanterns sprawled across the sand near the bobcat.
6:00
Brock quickly comes to his senses and begins looking around
6:03
for the troublesome trio that was just arguing with Judd by
6:06
the shed. What do you do?
6:09
No, this is just like casino Night.
6:11
I I, I had the best intentions to blow something up and then it
6:14
went in a way that. Looking at the lanterns
6:17
scattered doesn't not looking at Judd or any sort of human or
6:21
bodily injury, but looking at the lanterns that are scattered.
6:24
I think Joey has come to see the lanterns as the fix.
6:28
Right. At first it was like something's
6:31
up with the forest. I'll I'll try to talk to the
6:33
forest spirits. Maybe, maybe they can help.
6:36
We came back, we tried to talk to the camp counselors.
6:38
I my like sole focus is it's just the lanterns.
6:41
The lanterns are fucking doing it and I just forgetting that
6:44
the lanterns were in the truck that we just exploded.
6:47
Yeah, so before you guys shoved your improvised explosive in the
6:50
tailpipe, one of the boxes fell off the truck and spilled out
6:54
onto the sand. And that was a box full of
6:56
fresh, shiny new paper lanterns. Yeah, just seeing that and
7:00
having an explosion so near to it.
7:02
It's casino night all over again.
7:04
I'm going to ruin my one opportunity to change everything
7:07
for good, no? Guys, we we got to.
7:09
Get out of here with the lanterns.
7:11
Joey, Joey, I agree. I have a plan.
7:14
Goody. I'm going to need you to take
7:16
your shoes off and I'm going to need you to go collect those
7:18
lanterns. Weird first step of the plan.
7:20
What shoes? Holds the foot up.
7:22
Perfect as fast as you can. I run and I use my toe grip to
7:27
pick up as many lanterns. We're going to double trouble
7:31
this scale. OK, so do you think you're going
7:33
to use running without shoes 2 and toe grip 3?
7:37
If I can. Let's try.
7:38
Let's start with running without shoes 2.
7:40
I want to see a six. That's a 5, but I'm going to use
7:45
an. I would like to help by
7:48
strapping on Now Now Batty. These aren't shoes.
7:54
These are rocket. Skates, Oh my God.
7:57
And they're just, they're just long sparklers that will
8:00
hopefully make him run a little bit.
8:01
Faster once again can. Anyone check any of your bags?
8:04
I swear this was part of the process.
8:06
What did they send you through? Like a broken metal detector.
8:09
Well, see, I got my fire extinguisher like from the
8:11
cabin. So like, that's at least like
8:12
one way they're trying to keep us safe.
8:14
I'm like running on the shoreline and I look at Joey,
8:17
I'm like, they're. Making me run on water.
8:20
OK, sweet. So sort of while Brock and Judd
8:23
are still in a bit of shock. Goody, do you think Batty, do
8:26
you think you sort of like run around the perimeter to sneak a
8:29
little bit? Yes, Right.
8:30
OK, toe grip, Toe grip 3. I'd like to see an 8.
8:34
What else would you have in your pockets?
8:36
Fair. Raw bacon that is a 10.
8:40
Well done. OK, you successfully.
8:43
My toes, man. Gorilla Grip.
8:46
How many lanterns do I get like one for?
8:48
The whole box. Oh, way more than 10 lanterns.
8:51
I think you're like scooping them up, you know, you're like
8:53
using your hands and your toes to just get them all into the
8:56
box as quickly as possible. Run over a fishing net and just
8:58
start to like drag them behind you.
9:02
OK, what do you want to do with this box of lanterns now that
9:04
they're all collected in in one place?
9:07
I'm feeling that there's something more coming from this
9:09
explosion. And then it wasn't over.
9:11
I think I'm just going to pick up the box and I'm going to try
9:14
to go set it next to the shed without people noticing.
9:20
Sort of out of sight, out of sight.
9:21
Yeah, like kind of behind the back, behind a Bush or.
9:24
Something like that. And then I'm going to blow on my
9:27
sparklers to make sure that they're still going, and then
9:29
I'm going to go. All right, all right, all right,
9:31
all right, all right and. Dive into the water and keep my
9:34
sparklers above the the water as I'm kicking and swimming really
9:38
fast and I'm just going to pop up 3 inches from Joey.
9:40
Say done. Oh, OK, OK, buddy.
9:44
Wow, did you need anything else? No, I think you did what we
9:47
needed to do. We saved, saved the lanterns.
9:49
Those are good for later, but I don't think there's any point to
9:51
stick around because obviously these guys aren't helping us.
9:54
If I may be so bold, you know, my shaman would be so proud of
9:57
me. You.
9:59
They sent us here for a second chance, right?
10:02
Yeah. Yeah.
10:02
To like, learn something about ourselves or whatever and, like,
10:06
become better. But they aren't giving
10:10
themselves a second chance. You know what I'm saying?
10:14
Like let's. Make them go down the Lantern
10:15
path. Or wait, yes, I like that.
10:18
Maybe we can rig it first is this.
10:20
Is this the part where we humanized the villain?
10:22
No, I'm not humanizing them. I'm more just like trying to
10:25
portray why all of this is super hypocritical.
10:28
Yeah, that's bad. Yeah, so I'm pretty sure that
10:31
the Lanterns are just pissed at us.
10:33
And like, who wouldn't be pissed if like you literally know and
10:36
gave you a new outfit in like what, like 10 years?
10:39
I'd be so upset if I was wearing the same T-shirt From like what?
10:42
High school? Nope, I'm in high school from
10:45
like what, my birth? It goes from high school to
10:49
birth. Like if I was wearing the same
10:51
onesie that I was born in, I came out fly, that would be so
10:54
embarrassing. And I think these lanterns are
10:56
embarrassed. And every time someone walks
10:58
down the path, they're like, help us, you know what I mean?
11:01
And then like, of course they'd be mad because they're just
11:03
like, not getting their new digs like they're supposed to.
11:06
Operation dressed in new lanterns.
11:08
Yeah, I think we need to throw a party.
11:10
I will say that my mom says that something's not worn in until
11:12
it's five years old, so. Well, right.
11:14
But these are like older than five years old.
11:16
So like what's after? Worn in, worn out?
11:19
That's bad. That's fair.
11:20
And honestly and honestly, most of the stuff that I wear.
11:23
Pretty worn out. Yeah, that's fair.
11:25
But I have a stylist that I'm going to hook you up with after
11:28
this. Oh, is that what?
11:29
Is that what people keep saying when they when they say I need a
11:31
glow up? Yeah, Oh my God.
11:33
Can we do a makeover? After, after the after the big
11:36
party party. Yeah, whatever.
11:37
So I think well, goody, such a good job hiding those lanterns.
11:42
They're going to come in huge. I just like have this tingly
11:45
feeling that it's going to be like the best party I've ever
11:48
thrown I'm. Like, kind of like splashing my
11:50
face in and out of the water. I'm like, yeah, totally, yeah.
11:56
Keep in mind that this morning at breakfast, something that
11:59
Brock mentioned was tonight there will be a Lantern path
12:03
luau, which is sort of the ceremony and celebration before
12:07
everyone at camp. The rest of the campers are
12:09
going to set foot on the Lantern path.
12:11
So that's sort of the the camp itinerary for what's going to
12:14
happen tonight. So since we already got a party,
12:17
we going to throw a new party? Or are are you talking about
12:20
making sure that party's good? I'm saying we need to elevate
12:24
this party, and I think that means we have to actually be bad
12:28
kids and like, go replace the lanterns before the party
12:33
because how are they going to experience like a good time if
12:37
they're just like getting yelled at by lanterns, You know what I
12:39
mean? Oh, and I could.
12:40
Double up the. Spider web and make sure there's
12:42
more. Yeah, we could make it like a
12:44
trampoline, like bounce house moment.
12:46
Oh my God, I love those. We should be camp counselors.
12:48
We. Should be no actually that
12:50
sounds like my nightmare but I would love to sponsor YouTube
12:53
being camp counselors. Monty that's that's an amazing
12:57
idea to go replace the lanterns early.
12:59
And knowing that Joey was wanting to literally just go
13:02
grab lanterns and do that right now, he fully attributes that
13:05
idea, even though it came temporally earlier and from his
13:08
own brain. He fully and genuinely
13:10
attributes it only to Monty in this moment.
13:13
That's amazing. I I wish I would have thought of
13:15
that do. You want me to steal the bobcat?
13:17
We could get at least like 2 miles before it explodes.
13:19
We just boats exhaust. Off I do have a fire
13:21
extinguisher I. Could push it.
13:23
It's billowing smoke. I'll also say at this point,
13:26
Lottie has rejoined Brock on the beach.
13:29
And so Lottie and Brock are sort of doing their best to quell
13:32
some of the chaos by distracting the campers.
13:34
They don't want to look like they're bad at their jobs,
13:36
right? So they're sort of diverting the
13:38
attention of the campers that were already on the beach
13:41
filtering, you know, the the campers who are coming to show
13:43
up for attendance. They're telling them that water
13:46
sports are mandatory today instead of just a beach day.
13:48
Get out on the water. They usher everybody toward the
13:51
lake, and then they signal to Judd.
13:54
They give him like a wink, wink, nudge, nudge, nod toward the
13:57
front of camp, towards like where the the camp's guard house
14:01
at the front gate might be. Judd decides to grab a
14:04
wheelbarrow from the shed where the boxes were, and he starts
14:08
shuttling what's left of the crates and boxes.
14:11
No longer the paper lanterns which are hiding.
14:14
He shuttles things like yard games and snorkeling equipment
14:18
packed up in boxes towards that. Direction we have to get those
14:22
yard games. We want to party.
14:23
We there. There's no party without yard
14:25
games. I wholeheartedly agree.
14:27
And here's the thing, I think I might have been holding Brock
14:31
and Lottie a little bit too hard against one.
14:32
I mean, sorry, that came out really weird.
14:35
I'm not holding against them, against one I.
14:37
Already know that they bump elbows.
14:38
Yeah, I know that now, but I think I might have been a little
14:40
bit too hard on Brock specifically because look at
14:42
them, they're doing a good job. Are they?
14:45
It looks like they're trying to do a good job.
14:47
And they're really trying. They just.
14:50
Might be too young, dumb birds and loved.
14:51
That's all I'm saying. Yeah, but they're also making
14:54
money off of the things that would make this a lot better.
14:57
We are in danger. I may have making money off I.
15:01
May have forgotten about the child endangerment child.
15:04
Endangerment. OK, so.
15:05
That's why we chanted. Unfortunately, my friend, I
15:10
think it might be time for me to evolve once more as the con man
15:14
that I am. It's in my blood and I've I've
15:17
superpowered charged myself several times already throughout
15:20
this adventure, so I think I'm going to do it one more time.
15:22
And everyone knows that any good con man is a master of disguise.
15:28
What was that name on the Alex and Richard from Peoria?
15:34
I can do both of them. Watch me.
15:36
Hey, Monty. Yeah, I think it is time for a
15:39
makeover. What's wrong I'm?
15:45
Sorry that I do that when I'm excited.
15:48
The lifeguard blows his whistle and sort of looks concerningly
15:51
over at you guys. Oh.
15:54
Just a nice little wave, like just a little, hey, I'll get
15:58
here. Just having so much fun.
16:00
Like kind of splashes the water. It's just like.
16:04
She got. Chlorinated.
16:05
I don't want to. Do she got?
16:07
Stung by a jellyfish. We have to get her to first aid.
16:09
Hey Joey will help me get. Her.
16:10
Yes. Yeah.
16:11
Yeah, I did. Yes, of course.
16:13
I would love to. Careful.
16:14
There you go. Lots of jellyfish.
16:16
Time to go. Time to go.
16:18
The lifeguard gestures to sort of towards the counselor cabin
16:21
and says you know where you're going, First aid's that way, go
16:23
see the nurse. Come on.
16:26
Come on, Monty. Yeah, yeah, I.
16:27
Don't think I can walk. You don't have to be doing it
16:32
this real. Dragging her along the ground.
16:36
Got to sell it. OK team, it is up to you to use
16:39
what you know and the skills you have to breathe some hope back
16:42
into this camp. So are we headed to First aid?
16:46
Is it a? No, we're going to our cabin
16:48
because I brought wigs. No, I'm going to save the stuff.
16:52
Oh, OK. We can get there in time, so we.
16:54
Just don't need a wake. I mean, can we get there faster?
16:56
OK, we just got to do this all really fast.
16:59
OK, this is. A wheelbarrow full of stuff.
17:00
We can beat I'm. Realizing that I can't actually
17:02
be two people. So I'll be Alex from Peoria.
17:04
You'll be a rich Richard from Peoria.
17:06
OK, Monty, whoever who is? Do you think Alex is such a
17:10
unisex name? We don't even know what's male.
17:12
Female. This is true.
17:13
We could use A to our advantage. I'll be Peoria.
17:15
OK, I'm caught up. You guys are.
17:17
I thought you were saying you were gonna put a hit out on Alex
17:20
and then. I'm gonna come them.
17:23
And you're gonna pick up the deliveries?
17:25
Yes. I'm caught up.
17:28
OK, we have to do this fast. I think that the makeover is
17:31
great and while you're doing that, I'm going to take my 150
17:34
yard shoelace and I'm going to put.
17:36
Do you have any tiny little explosives you could make for a
17:38
little like? So many tiny little.
17:40
Explosives like a. Like 150 to 300.
17:42
Yeah, you know those little Papa things, not not the ones that
17:45
you that make your butthole a little bit sent to my mom tells
17:48
me about that. My mom told me about that.
17:50
She told me that. They worked out the throne. 6
17:52
glass of wine at night that she has to.
17:54
Exactly. Yeah.
17:55
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
17:57
It's good for a hub and the other one's good for something
17:59
else. You won't tell me.
18:00
I think I think this will be good for both the path and
18:04
getting the products. I'm going to make a long
18:06
shoelace with a bunch of fireworks on it.
18:08
OK, roll for pyromates. Sure.
18:14
Can I can I roll for explosive shoelace?
18:17
As we're. Roll for anything.
18:18
Back to. Do anything one damn.
18:24
Never mind, that's a what? That's a one.
18:28
I got a rock. Yeah, that's tough.
18:31
I do believe you still have your bonus from.
18:34
Oh yeah, I'm going to use my Caesar wrap.
18:36
Talent show, OK. And.
18:39
It's coming back up. I'm going to use my Caesar wrap
18:42
from what feels like weeks ago and to eat that so that I could
18:48
roll with advantage. Oh yeah, OK, let's see.
18:51
Do anything one. Froze it out-of-the-box.
18:55
I think it counts. It counts.
18:58
OK, So what? Would you like this skill to be
19:00
called? Dude I want to call it Caesar
19:03
wrap now but just reference explosive shoelace.
19:09
Incredible. OK, explosive shoelace too
19:11
goody. What a feat.
19:13
Really rolling for shoes there, aren't you?
19:15
You've been rolling for shoes this whole game.
19:17
You really took rolling for shoes seriously.
19:19
Took this long for everyone. Pretty sure I made that joke
19:23
like 3 weeks. Ago and that that's +2.
19:26
Three weeks ago I can't remember what I had for breakfast.
19:29
Yes, explosive shoes 2 since you leveled up do anything one and
19:32
turned it into a new skill. Amazing.
19:34
So yeah, I make a the whole thing every six inches is it's
19:39
got a little explosive on it and then there's a little fuse all
19:43
the way down the. Shoelace.
19:44
Well, the shoelace itself might be a domino, just a domino
19:47
effect. So where are you hunkered down
19:48
where you're sort of having this craft time?
19:51
I think I I have fully disassembled A bunk bed that is
19:56
in the corner and it's a little Fort and I'm in there and I'm
19:59
like, I'm like chanting March songs.
20:04
Never. You're practicing, you're not
20:12
Skills from the Anarchist Cookbook.
20:15
Amazing. I think Monty does just a quick
20:17
like. Joey, do you have anything like
20:19
not? Porn.
20:22
Why? I mean, I do have my sister's
20:25
shirt that I accidentally brought.
20:27
I didn't mean to. That's the only thing that I
20:29
got. OK, we can work that.
20:31
Put it on. This wig is going to go great
20:34
with your complexion. It's got a little bang, a little
20:36
shush. It's going to really like, tie
20:38
it all together. OK, so we're going, although the
20:41
name Alex is unisex. We're going drag.
20:44
That's fan OK. My sisters used to love this.
20:46
I get it because. You can show up versus Alex and
20:49
then you can leave and you come. Back, Richard.
20:51
Honestly, I enjoy it. Honestly, I enjoy it.
20:53
I just it's there's something that my dad generationally put
20:57
inside of me that just doesn't, it doesn't really accept this as
21:00
like I think that I could enjoy for myself to look beautiful.
21:04
You're gorgeous. You know I am fucking yeah.
21:07
Yeah, I am. There's like a small montage of
21:09
like me behind Joey. The Bear.
21:12
Like brushing his curls, it's. The first time you've seen
21:16
Joey's eyes smile. Every other photo there's one of
21:19
like Batty helping really quick and a few explosions and you're
21:22
shooing me. Away Alexa play popular from me
21:26
which. Is.
21:27
On Broadway. I am beautiful.
21:29
You are just the way you are, with a wig and a different
21:33
shirt. Just once you changed everything
21:37
10 out of 10. All right, well, here we go.
21:39
OK, what happens next? I I would like to use
21:42
misdirection with the help of Monty and all the things that
21:45
she's done for me to show up as Alex from Peoria.
21:51
I really would love to get y'all games and the water games.
21:55
It's a snorkeling equipment. I guess I just need we.
21:58
Mostly just need the yard game. Is is is that going to Alex?
22:01
Yeah. Hey, God, it's.
22:04
Not it's not it's not it's. Not very full.
22:06
I asked you. I have to just have a moment, he
22:09
said. Is that going to Alex when I can
22:11
feel Maya out of the corner of my go?
22:12
Yeah. It has to it's.
22:14
Funny it is. You want this to be funny or
22:18
not? Full wig, full dress.
22:21
Like reflect the. Sister's blouse on and and just
22:24
fully having awakened a moment. Not sure if this is.
22:27
What this is for? No.
22:28
No, no, I am painfully aware. Goody just says.
22:32
Do you have a? Do you have a comb?
22:33
Yes, I have a comb. Can I have it?
22:35
Do you want like a thick tongue or like a fine comb?
22:39
Black fine tooth comb. Yep, here you go.
22:41
I just glue it my upper lip for a mustache.
22:43
OK goody. So I think this would be the
22:45
best, if you could maybe go to the front gate and like, stop
22:48
the actual Alex from coming in so that we can be our out, Yeah.
22:53
You, you'll be. I'm Peoria.
22:55
Yeah. Yeah.
22:57
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect.
22:58
You go down to the gate. Avoid Judge at all costs.
23:00
Don't let him see you. And then show up and make sure
23:03
that you see whoever the strangers are.
23:06
And I'm going to go. I, I, I I'm beautiful.
23:09
I got this. Beautiful.
23:10
I think if if I could put a little more shot a judge on the
23:13
top of it is I would like to roll for imposter and call Judd
23:19
and say that I'm Alex. I'm I'm I'm here.
23:22
I'm I have a really bad cold. So I actually like can't speak
23:26
to you in person. Super shy.
23:28
I love you. I'm here.
23:30
Shouldn't Joey do it because he's already in disguise for?
23:32
It no, because then when Joey shows up looking like a lady, he
23:35
doesn't have to pretend he's a lady, right?
23:38
I want to say anything. I don't want to say anything at
23:40
all. When do I use this?
23:42
Holds up the lit shoelace. It's connected to fireworks.
23:44
That's later. That's like Lantern time.
23:47
OK, we don't have time. They're going to be showing we.
23:49
Got to go now, so I would like to roll for imposter to give
23:53
Judd a phone call. Lovett, I'm going to have you
23:56
roll for Imposter. You have Imposter 2.
23:58
I want to see a six. That is an 8, correct?
24:07
OK, incredible. Bring them up.
24:09
OK, so first she calls Patrice really quick and she's like,
24:12
Patrice, I need you to Google this man.
24:15
We don't. I don't have enough service to
24:17
Google. So La La, La La.
24:18
Gets his number anyways. Patrice, she she's got
24:21
connections. I mean, are you certain you need
24:23
number? Yes, I need the phone number.
24:24
I need it now. Thank you be.
24:25
Right back the number is. Can you can you patch me
24:30
through? Yes.
24:31
Perfect. Is is Patrice a secret operative
24:37
or some sort of foreign agency? Oh, we don't ask questions.
24:41
Hello. Hey, Judd.
24:44
Judd. Oh, is this?
24:46
This is Alex. I'm I'm almost here for my
24:49
Facebook. Marketplace.
24:50
I thought you were going to be a man.
24:52
No, I get that a lot. Alex is actually like a unisex
24:55
name. So what do you want?
24:58
OK, sorry. It's me, Jon.
25:00
Town's very sick. Maybe you're on vocal rest, but
25:02
you're on vocal rest. You gotta be a vocal rest.
25:03
Yeah, so. I'm here you.
25:06
Gotta be a vocal rest. I, I have to be on vocal rest
25:09
'cause I'm a star singer and so when I see you I won't be able
25:12
to talk. You're American Idol.
25:14
Are you close? I'm up at the guard house.
25:16
Right. Yeah, I just.
25:16
Got I just got died. On American Idol and so my voice
25:20
is really sore. So I'm I'm at the gate and I'll
25:23
just wave when you see me. OK, I'm here that.
25:26
That they didn't have a season this year.
25:27
Top talent, top talent. Top talent.
25:29
Top talent. You you misspoke.
25:31
Top talent. OK, I'll.
25:32
See you I gotta cover Joey's. She, like, hangs up.
25:35
OK, go, go. OK.
25:37
You are you sort of like creeping on the guard house.
25:43
It's me walking up. Wait, because I've obviously put
25:46
heels on anyway. I mean.
25:49
Obviously put heels on. You wear her heels.
25:54
No, it's the Louboutins that got wet earlier.
25:56
Yeah, yes, I am walking up to to where Judd has forcibly dropped
26:01
the the boxes off at the gatehouse.
26:03
OK. And I'm kind of walking up to
26:06
the front gate or wherever they could would come in.
26:09
Yeah, goody, I'm going to have you roll for running too, to see
26:12
if you can beat the real Alex to the front of the property.
26:17
OK, perfect. I'm looking for a 10.
26:23
That's a 10. And then can I use experience
26:26
points here? To level up a new skill, yes,
26:28
you absolutely can't. I'm going to use two experience
26:31
points to level up my running without shoes.
26:36
Yep, you'll go from running without shoes 2 to something
26:39
else 3. Related to having just.
26:42
Yeah, something specific to what you're doing right now.
26:45
What would be something new The. Term we used to use when we used
26:47
to play a lot of battle Royale games when you'd be edging the
26:50
circle of the map. Rotate rotating.
26:53
Blanking it reminds me of. That yes.
26:55
Rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate. I'm gonna go with rotating with
27:00
shoes. With one shoe.
27:04
And you'll have that at a scale level of three.
27:08
OK, sweet. So goody.
27:09
You successfully make it to the gate long before the real Alex
27:13
shows up. How do you send him away?
27:15
Because it is a man. I am fully method acting.
27:17
I get to the gate booth. I'm imagining like a guard house
27:21
like made of wood and I'm like sitting in there and I'm like
27:24
smoking a pencil like a cigar. I've got my fake mustache on
27:27
just waiting. And if they come up, I'm just
27:29
going to be really like oblivious and ignore them.
27:31
Hey, what do you need? Like trying to scare them away.
27:34
Yeah, just yeah. Like you don't want to go in
27:36
there you. Don't want to go in there?
27:37
You don't. You're not supposed to be here.
27:39
I think for some yard game someone would very easily lay
27:43
down their fight and drive away. Yeah, and I think I pretend I'm
27:46
like taking their license plate numbers.
27:48
Oh shit, park Ranger style? Yeah, I think they're in in for
27:52
more than they bargained for. For a Facebook marketplace pick
27:54
up. You know how flaky people can
27:56
be. This guy made it here and he's
27:58
not motivated enough for yard games to stick around.
28:01
Should I drop the price to buy $20?
28:03
You know. Now just got a Menards on the
28:05
way home. Right.
28:05
Exactly. Yeah, Home Depot.
28:07
Typical. OK, now that the real Alex is
28:10
taking care of Monty and Joey, how do you orchestrate this
28:15
scene as you see Judd step out from the booth, put his hands on
28:19
his hips like a proud dad admiring his lawn, and looks
28:22
down the driveway waiting for the real Alex to show up to
28:26
collect these yard games? Well, Monty has prepared me to
28:29
and and helped me to turn to the perfect impasta and I just got
28:34
to know my lines, which is nothing.
28:36
I'm on vocal rest. I will if anything I I practice
28:42
that. You, you have to squeak and walk
28:45
150 feet in heels. Unravel, unravel.
28:50
That's the real test here. Yes.
28:52
And I would like to, if it's not possible to with like the
28:56
physical surroundings, like get out to the front gate and make
28:59
it appear as if I'm coming in. I would like to look like I
29:02
would like to walk up and look like I've been waiting, like he
29:05
missed me on his way out. OK.
29:06
I think the driveway sort of takes a bend, so you can walk up
29:10
to a certain point and maybe make it seem like your car is
29:13
parked just around the court, like, you know, the forest's
29:16
edge. Cool.
29:17
It wouldn't be that absurd, so. Awesome, and I would like to use
29:20
misdirection to do that, with hopefully the help from Monty.
29:24
Hey, yeah, who also slipped $40 into your pocket?
29:28
That's oh, I I will need that for for the the current the
29:31
money. Yeah, right.
29:32
Don't. Say money for the just Hannah
29:33
Twim and not. OK, I'm on vocal.
29:35
Rest vocal. Rest vocal.
29:36
Rest America Top You didn't say the top talent thing, did you?
29:39
No, but you don't need to because you're on vocal.
29:40
Rest So I had to lie about America.
29:43
You're not. You're just didn't even have a
29:44
season this year. I'll call back later and I'll
29:46
correct. OK.
29:49
Just when you walk, a little bit of sashay, a little bit of hip.
29:51
I just got to know my character before I get it.
29:53
Like no, I get it. I'm kind of method in that way.
29:55
All right, got this. Judge like tapping his toe and
29:58
looking at his watch. He's starting to think it's
29:59
weird that he got a call a few minutes ago and someone's still
30:02
not strolling up yet. It's it's my time to start Clip
30:06
clip, clip. Clip, clip, clip.
30:10
Alex, right? I hand out the $40.
30:18
Judd takes it from you, counts it, and he says, I thought we
30:22
agreed on 50. You know what, Little Miss?
30:30
You're pretty sweet, I think. I think 40 will do it today.
30:35
What do you say? I'm throwing a little.
30:38
Anything extra? Oh gosh.
30:42
Child endangerment Child endangerment Child endangerment
30:46
this. Is giving Facebook Marketplace
30:48
like to an unfortunate reality? Yeah.
30:50
You're 10, you're $10 short. How are you going to make up for
30:53
it, little Missy? I think I just break voice and I
30:58
say. Hey, anything for a good time
31:01
sweetheart. Like much lower and deeper.
31:04
He shoves the box at you, kicks dirt your way and says get off
31:08
my fucking property. Oh.
31:10
I'm so glad I blew up this bobcat.
31:12
Where's kind of guy? Where's kind of guy?
31:14
OK, well I snatch up the art games and I go.
31:16
You have misdirection 4. I want to see a 10.
31:19
And you have +1 from Monty. Nice.
31:23
That is going to be a 15. Damn.
31:28
OK, a 15 is definitely going to do it.
31:30
So you successfully sort of slink away with this box back
31:34
into the forest. You're covered by the trees.
31:37
You see Judd sort of walk away, go about his business, do
31:40
whatever he's going to get up to for the rest of the day at camp.
31:43
What do you guys do next? Hey guys.
31:46
Oh sorry, I have the mustache on.
31:47
Still, it's hard to be other people.
31:51
I can't believe we pulled that off.
31:53
I'm just so impressed with both of you.
31:55
I, well, I mean, like I said, my sister sisters used to dress up
31:58
all the time and I like to think that I'm an ally to the LGBTQIA.
32:02
Plus, did you did you get the? We got the box, you got the
32:05
goods, we got the yard games. This is going to be the best
32:07
party ever. We have to get to the path.
32:09
How do we get them to the yard without them knowing we took
32:12
them? Well, I don't think that matters
32:14
because we'll set them out and then when everyone shows up and
32:16
just starts using them, they have no choice but to let us
32:18
keep them. You know, like ask for
32:19
forgiveness, not permission. Yeah, the.
32:21
Yard games are like pizza. If it's there, you'll do it.
32:23
Yeah. Hey you guys will set up the
32:25
yard games and I'll go put raw bacon in all the camp counselors
32:28
pockets. That that, that that will
32:30
probably cause something, some sort of chaos, I imagine.
32:33
We can also have like bacon as like a party favor.
32:36
I guess I could cook the bacon. I buried it like 3 or 4 feet
32:40
deep. I guess got a nice brine on.
32:43
It's really Asian. Bacon's are dry.
32:47
OK, so we have the lanterns, we have the yard games.
32:50
We have the bacon. It's approximately noon.
32:53
The Lantern Path Luau is supposed to be tonight on the
32:56
other side of Lake Lumi. The lake at camp the other side
33:00
of Lake Lumi. There's a little trail that goes
33:02
around to it. You can't really see from where
33:06
the kids are currently at the beach.
33:08
There's sort of like an ebb and a flow to the shoreline.
33:11
So the area where the luau is going to be over by the start of
33:14
the Lantern path is pretty nice and secluded.
33:16
So you could get over there and be up in that business near the
33:19
start of the Lantern path and where the luau is supposed to
33:21
take place, with a high likelihood of being unseen.
33:26
Guys want to go and try to set up the the lanterns, Yeah.
33:29
I, I, I, you know, the floor spirits didn't talk to me last
33:32
time, but I think if we put new lanterns then maybe they'll
33:34
speak to me this time. Should we put the the the yard
33:36
games on the other side of the path?
33:39
As like the final. Yeah, like make it an
33:42
experience. Like the razzle dazzle?
33:43
Pyrotechnics. Grand finale.
33:46
I can help with that part. That's a nice idea.
33:48
Yeah, it's like once I get to the campsite, they can play with
33:50
them, but maybe the counselors won't know.
33:53
Right. Yeah, that's sweet.
33:54
Yeah, that's sweet. Yeah.
33:55
I. Like it?
33:56
Yeah, we'll give them something to arrive to.
33:58
Let's give them a real second chance for.
34:00
Real. Yeah.
34:02
Let's head over there. I guess I I was going to say
34:05
that Monty wanted to roll for Swoll to try to like carry both
34:08
boxes. That's a great point.
34:10
So you guys do still have to collect your other box, which is
34:13
sort of caught up in the middle of where each and water sports
34:16
time is happening. I think we'll have one more
34:18
instance where you might have to use your skills to sneak or
34:21
distract to get that second box. And then it sounds like we'll be
34:24
off to the start of the Lantern path and the other side of the
34:26
beach. So as a master of misdirection,
34:29
I think I should take the lead here.
34:32
But I would love some help from my buddy and good pal who's so
34:37
good at puzzles because this one's a real nude look.
34:39
I mean, yeah, I could. I could help you.
34:41
What do you, what do you have like a jigsaw puzzle?
34:44
Do you have like Tetris? I need you to look at everyone's
34:48
kind of average line of sight and draw it out for me on this
34:51
piece of paper, like as if they're security cameras and we
34:55
need to not be in those lines of sight.
34:57
What if they turn their heads? Like I said, average guess for
35:04
me, OK. And.
35:06
I'm going to scribble with puzzles to help Joey with his
35:12
misdirection to show these little cones of like if you've
35:16
ever played D&D, the range spell attack with with a window of
35:23
opportunity there. So I'm going to do all of those.
35:25
And every individual. And then I'm going to hand it to
35:27
you and then wait, wait, look out in the crowd one more time.
35:30
Scribble, scribble, rewrite, reshade.
35:32
There you. Go.
35:33
All right, Well. I love this plan of attack.
35:35
OK let's see puzzles 2. I would I would like to see a.
35:38
Six. That's a six and a four for a
35:42
10. Nice thinking about leveling
35:45
that up at all. I only have one XP.
35:47
Hey you know what buddy? I'll give you one.
35:49
Hey I'll mark an XP off for you cuz you deserve to level.
35:53
Something up working on that one so.
35:55
I love that. OK, what does puzzles 2 turn
35:58
into at a third level in this instance?
36:02
I think it turns into. Geometry.
36:06
Laser maps. Oh laser like.
36:09
Spy texts. I was thinking that this like to
36:13
Joey, he's he's thinking like he's considering this like as if
36:16
it's like a museum and there's and each one's vision is a.
36:19
Little bit of lasers like and I'm I'm.
36:21
Describing this to to goody almost like as like this again
36:25
another story that my dad told me of the time that he heisted a
36:28
museum and it was like some hoe dunk like like your.
36:32
Dad is so cool. I know right?
36:34
Like my mom always says, no, he's actually have a bad
36:36
influence. But I love him.
36:37
What can I do? He's the father of my children
36:40
and it doesn't matter. That's stuff we get on back.
36:42
Later people say that about my dad, and then I go, well, look
36:45
at this list of charities that he hosts.
36:47
You know what I mean? Really.
36:49
That's cool, yeah, Yeah. But don't look too much further
36:51
like where the money goes because I I don't really know.
36:55
Oh yeah, Goody was talking to me about tax shelters earlier.
36:57
Is that one of is that what you talk?
36:59
Is that is that a thing? See, like I kind of like signed
37:01
an NDA when I was like born. So it's tax havens.
37:04
It's OK though. Oh, excuse.
37:05
Me. Thanks Goody.
37:08
So I like imagine that we're like on the wooded edge of the
37:12
beach and we're like maybe behind the shed or something
37:14
like where we're doing this whole thing.
37:15
We've got like the one box next to us and like crouched down.
37:19
Monty has taken the wig off of Joey's head and put it back in
37:22
his wig bag because yeah, those not messing around, it's so hard
37:25
to detangle them. Yeah, you can take the heels
37:27
back. Thank you very much.
37:28
That was an experience number one I want to do again.
37:30
Are you gonna keep the blouse on?
37:32
Yes, it's. Yeah.
37:35
I put my jacket on over. It goes good with the jacket,
37:37
yeah. Anything about my orientation
37:40
agenda, But I just I like it. I was going to ask her where the
37:43
wig? Monty, like notably doesn't say
37:45
anything, like just notably like just kind of smiles and like,
37:49
but like to her, that's a really nice thing that she's doing.
37:53
I feel like you seem self satisfied.
37:56
I think I am enjoying you feeling self satisfied and to me
38:00
that means that I've done a really good job as a host.
38:03
I think that's a good thing from coming from you.
38:05
So I'll take it. Yeah, that sounds nice.
38:06
Awesome. OK, so I'll stay here, guard the
38:09
box and you guys can like do your thing.
38:13
We'll get the other one. Yeah, you got the odd games.
38:15
We'll get the lanterns and get them ready to go.
38:18
Love it. Do we have to go like?
38:21
Through the beach to get to this path?
38:22
Or is it something like we can grab the box, get back in the
38:24
woods and then go to the path I? Think yeah, Joey probably goes
38:27
to get the box with the map and I go dig up the bacon.
38:30
Yeah. With the advice from Goody about
38:32
when to like time the eyesight from the counselors and stuff.
38:35
With laser maps. Laser maps.
38:36
Perfect. Yeah.
38:37
So with the yard games box, the three of you are standing sort
38:40
of along the forest edge, correct, Monty?
38:42
You would have probably 100 feet to the shed where you've hidden
38:47
the paper lanterns and then you could sort of from that shed,
38:51
sneak around to the other side of the lake towards the path,
38:54
OK. Cool.
38:55
Also, where did Judd put the wheelbarrow back?
38:57
It's at the gatehouse. All right, it's cool.
38:59
So could is it being guarded right now?
39:02
Probably not cool because Judd walked away, correct.
39:04
So I, I will be, will be taking the wheelbarrow with us to OK, I
39:08
think probably for the yard games, I would assume they're
39:10
gonna be like heavier and more. Yeah, I think you could carry
39:12
the lanterns. I could keep my shoes on and
39:14
rotate a little. OK, I don't, I don't know what
39:17
that means. I mean, I just did it.
39:19
Didn't you see me get to the? When you just.
39:21
Disappeared into the bushes and then you yelled rotate, rotate,
39:24
rotate. And then you just kind of, I
39:26
felt like you were miles away and then suddenly you were back.
39:28
Monty, no one understands me like you.
39:32
Great, so totally down to do the wheelbarrow thing if someone
39:37
else pushes it though because like these heels have no tread
39:39
on them. I said I would rotate.
39:41
Oh, OK. Right, OK, so OK, I'll, you
39:44
know, take our little box over you, meet me here, grab the
39:47
lanterns, and then someone else can wheelbarrow them and I'll
39:51
walk. You're.
39:53
Not going to sit on top. I considered it, but I'm feeling
39:56
part of the team today. Wow, now I'm loving this plan.
40:01
OK. So what will it take for us to
40:02
do this unseen? Joey, I would like you to roll
40:06
Misdirection 4 and I would like to see a 10.
40:08
OK, Monty, I'm going to have you roll.
40:12
Is there something you'd like to roll?
40:13
I was either thinking appraisal to look at the state of the
40:17
wheelbarrow to see if they're like it's going to squeak or
40:20
going to be a problem, or is surveillance to just be like
40:23
extra eyes. OK, you pick.
40:26
Well, if I get the Peck, I'm going to appraisal, OK.
40:28
You've got appraisal 4, I would like to see a 10 and then Goody,
40:33
what would you like to use? I'm rotating with my shoe.
40:36
Goody is rotating OK. You have rotating 3.
40:39
I would like to see an 8. Are you taking the wheelbarrow?
40:42
Am I? I'm not gonna tell you again,
40:45
okay, rotating. Rotating with the wheelbarrow I
40:47
think. I think.
40:48
I'm getting the bacon in the wheelbarrow.
40:50
Well, don't forget the yard games.
40:52
It sounds like you're all helping each other, so each of
40:54
you can add +1. That's a 14 for me, then 13.
40:59
Monty rolled a 21 and she's gonna expend 3 XP to level up
41:07
appraisal. Whoa.
41:09
That's wild, how many D6 is that?
41:11
Holy shit I got 1D6 and I rolled 3 fives.
41:14
So amazing. Wow, well you all blew your your
41:18
checks out of the water. So this is.
41:19
On a roll. A smashing success.
41:21
We are on a roll. This is where the the the music
41:24
with a beat actually hits the music and.
41:26
We're giving this camp a second chance.
41:34
I think also, you know, she talks about being really good at
41:38
praising people all the time. I never heard or compliment
41:41
anybody. That's not part of the process.
41:43
It's just, you know, it's appraisal, appraisal.
41:46
Oh, oh, what's that mean? Like, I just like tell you
41:50
what's up and like you do something about it.
41:52
So the opposite of praising, OK. Yes.
41:57
The the lack of praise. My mom taught it to me growing
42:03
up. It's like a really good way to
42:05
like manage your emotions. Did.
42:08
Did she appraise you a lot? Oh yeah, constantly.
42:10
What do you how do you think I'm so pretty?
42:13
This is when we insert the. I think Joey leans in and
42:20
whispers to Cody. Man, thank God for you.
42:22
I had no idea what you were talking about until she just
42:25
said all the things that you she said and you said the things
42:27
that you said. And now I'm kind of caught up I
42:30
think. But thank God that was you and
42:32
not me. You can add an A and you become
42:34
Monty. That's.
42:35
What I'm saying? What is that?
42:37
I really thought you was just telling me I look nice.
42:39
I'm a goodie. OK, Monty, what does appraisal
42:43
for become? I think I want it to become a
42:46
conductor. Oh.
42:49
That's so, that's so cool. I'm I'm inspired to think of you
42:53
like seeing a bunch of camp kids, like some kids got a
42:56
bloody nose and starts running back towards the first aid like
42:59
and is going to get in the way and somehow get a counselor
43:01
headed our way. And you give him a like a cotton
43:04
swab as he comes to, yeah, just whatever ways you're just
43:06
distracting and coordinating all over.
43:08
Deflecting. Coordinating.
43:10
I love it. Guy in the van except Gal on the
43:12
wheelbarrow. Oh yeah.
43:14
Oh. Yeah, that's amazing.
43:15
What a role. OK, you've all reconvened, not
43:20
just with the yard games, not just with the lanterns, but
43:23
you're using the wheelbarrow to tow these crates toward the
43:27
Lantern path and the other side of the beach where tonight's
43:30
Lantern path luau ceremony will take place.
43:34
You make it there in one piece, and there's a clearing where the
43:37
beach opens up, and then a few yards away, the Lantern path
43:40
begins. What do you do first?
43:43
I. Think Monty would like step
43:45
forward and go? Hey, forest spirits.
43:52
Season, everything happens. Maybe that will work if you do
43:55
it when I did it, and I did it pretty genuinely and I asked
43:58
Brittany nicely. We just have to like keep the
44:02
energy that like we're here to help, you know, like we are here
44:05
to solve all the lanterns problems.
44:08
Do you want me to throat sing? So something that you noticed
44:12
this morning when you woke up at camp, at your hammock tent, camp
44:16
in the woods, was that on your walk back on the path, the
44:19
lanterns were no longer lit. You're sensing that they're not
44:23
a daytime vibe. They don't participate in the
44:27
daytime. They're sleeping.
44:28
They're sleeping and I think we have to do a heist, if you will,
44:32
of the sleeping lanterns and replace them.
44:34
It's like, well, baby snatching. I don't think, maybe not that
44:40
child. Endangerment child.
44:43
I think we just have to redress them right.
44:44
It's not like we're stealing anything.
44:46
We're yeah, we're giving them a makeover.
44:48
And then we can take all the old ones with burn them at the end.
44:50
If y'all don't mind me being the conductor, I think Monty would
44:54
like, OK, so we need to take this box out and she's just
44:56
going to start like walking down the path like they can't hurt
44:59
us. It's the daytime, OK, we've got
45:01
this. Don't try to hurt the old
45:03
lanterns because we can maybe give them a second chance if you
45:07
will. I don't know.
45:09
Last time I walked down the path, I saw my dad in the time
45:12
that he told me that he was proud of me, just so that I give
45:14
him the $100. And then I went in cosmic
45:16
bowling. But remember, it was dark out.
45:18
It's not dark right now like the sun is shining.
45:21
Yeah, I get that's true cosmic bowling too.
45:23
So I like daytime bowling. So this will be this will be
45:26
fine. It's like what Patrice used to
45:27
tell me when I was little and afraid of the monsters under my
45:30
bed is that like if the sun is up, the monsters can't hurt me?
45:33
Auntie wants to like be laying down the lanterns at each tree
45:37
and like popping them and I imagine like or maybe like
45:40
Joey's popping them behind her and then Goodie is like
45:43
scampering up the tree and grabbing the old ones and like
45:45
we're just like we are a well oiled machine.
45:48
Assembly line style. I really like that.
45:50
I like, I like the idea of just like a lot of tossing, like,
45:53
like and me like tossing up into the tree line and and then you
45:57
just hear. Skinner like and he jumps to the
46:00
next tree. Joey throws the Lantern.
46:01
Justin. And I'm literally leaving a tied
46:04
explosive shoelace zigzagging across the path as I'm cool and
46:09
it looks like I'm a spider. Oh my.
46:11
God I love this. I'm a spider man.
46:13
I'm keeping an eye on your work so we're not like harming the
46:15
forest like or the Lantern. I'm telling you the blast radius
46:18
of each. OK, well.
46:19
That one pack's actually a little bit of a punch.
46:21
It's a. Knot or single knot that just
46:23
double knot or single? Knot, dribble knot.
46:24
Probably. That's too many knots.
46:27
Okay, double knot will be fine. Let me just and I pinch out a
46:30
little bit of the powder within the that little popper explosive
46:35
again, not the. Drug just the explosive.
46:38
Did you just snort that? No, no.
46:42
But my Mama says not to do drugs and I don't think gunpowder
46:45
counts. Joey, did you just do drugs?
46:48
No, I have superpowers. It's.
46:49
Daytime, Joey, they can't hurt you.
46:51
It's daytime. I know I'm always around.
46:53
I just imagine my economically I'm not.
46:55
Screaming into the forest. Monty doesn't hear his moms.
47:00
It's just. Joey, they can't hurt you.
47:01
It's daytime, Joey. Sorry.
47:04
I come too. I'm sorry.
47:06
I have what they call day terrors.
47:08
Oh no. You just hear from the upper
47:10
tree. Hey, Joey's mom.
47:13
Oh God. OK, it is daytime.
47:16
The lanterns aren't glowing, but you do feel you feel really
47:20
comforted and calm by sort of the lantern's presence.
47:24
Now that you are back on the Lantern path, could you remind
47:27
me what your goal is with the exploding shoestring?
47:30
I want to contribute to the experience, so like kind of make
47:34
if the sky lit up but then there was some fireworks or something,
47:37
I'd feel like it was on purpose and not just some psychedelic
47:40
trip that was sending me so good vibes.
47:42
Good. Vibes OK ambiance I think.
47:44
Yeah, I think that's like a like a cool.
47:45
Path for like going this way? Yeah, I was.
47:47
With you as soon as you said. OK, sweet.
47:49
OK, Monty, yes, why don't you roll conductor 5 to see how you
47:52
sort of orchestrate this collaborative effort?
47:57
I would like to see a 12O. Yeah, 22.
48:05
OK eats it, beats it. That's amazing.
48:10
All right guys, it's about to get real.
48:12
So thanks to Monty's really keen conducting senses, you guys are
48:16
all sort of, you're finding your flow as you remove old lanterns
48:22
and inspect them and treat them with kindness and care for them,
48:26
while also popping up and expanding and replacing the old
48:29
lanterns with new ones. So you're starting to really put
48:32
the puzzle pieces together and it sort of feels like the path
48:35
is is nudging you in the right direction.
48:38
The path is revealing to you why this all matters so much.
48:42
So you're beginning to understand that the lanterns
48:45
have long served as Nets and sponges, catching and absorbing
48:50
the heightened emotions of campers during Lantern Path
48:53
ceremony walks. They've quelled campers
48:57
troublemaking tendencies and helped teens stay on the right
49:00
path, both literally and figuratively, by easing their
49:04
worries, comforting their fears, and validating their interests
49:08
in the past. Designed to help regulate
49:11
emotions by removing the intensity, these lanterns are
49:15
equal parts mystical and mysterious.
49:18
You've never experienced anything like them, but it's
49:21
clear that they were once instrumental in the success and
49:24
notoriety of Camp Second Chance, providing campers with a
49:27
comforting haven during troubling times.
49:31
But since the lanterns haven't been replaced in at least five
49:34
years, they've been full to bursting with negative energies
49:38
and overwhelming auras of campers who once believed in the
49:42
magic of Camp Second Chance. And in turn, the lanterns
49:46
couldn't hold it in any longer. They've spent several years
49:49
terrorizing the Lantern path with hypnotizing obstacles,
49:54
false realities, and warped pathways.
49:57
They were trying to tell you it wasn't safe.
50:00
They were trying to tell you they couldn't help anymore.
50:04
I I, I, I feel like I'm getting visions.
50:06
I'm I'm seeing things here that. I think we're doing what we're
50:09
supposed to. I can, I can, I can feel, I can
50:12
be a people crying, people cheering.
50:14
I I so much so much has happened in these bags.
50:17
I don't think the lanterns just listen, I think they talk.
50:20
As you unstring old lanterns from the trees, you feel an
50:24
eerie intensity flood the forest, collapsing lanterns 1 by
50:28
1. Your chests feel heavy and your
50:31
minds are burdened by memories, moods, and stories of
50:35
troublemakers before you. You are relieving the lanterns
50:39
of their responsibilities and allowing the contents of the
50:42
lanterns intense energies, both good and bad, to dissipate into
50:47
the earth, into the sky, and into the forest around you.
50:51
These energies aren't harmful. They've been separated from
50:54
their origins troublemakers past.
50:57
Rather, the deflation of these paper lanterns feels like a sigh
51:01
of relief, like letting go of the tension that brought you
51:04
here. You know you are doing right by
51:06
these lanterns and doing right for future campers who will walk
51:10
this path. And now, with fresh lanterns
51:13
lining the way, you have the opportunity to do right for you
51:17
too. Is there anything you would like
51:20
to let go of and release for the lanterns to hold for you?
51:25
Hey. Joey.
51:27
Yeah, goody. I was just thinking about how
51:30
I'm always trying to fight myself and be two people.
51:33
You ever feel like that? I, I at times I, I don't
51:38
necessarily know who I am. I I would say I can resonate
51:42
with that. I, I think that's how I feel
51:44
sometimes and I use my shoes as an excuse to explore pieces of
51:48
myself that I don't always agree with.
51:51
And I don't know, Monty, do you feel different when you dress up
51:55
really nice? Yeah, I feel like more like
51:57
myself. I think I'm going to stop using
52:00
what I wear as an excuse to do things, and I think I'm just
52:04
going to start trying to dress nice.
52:07
Dress for success, dress for you, goody.
52:10
Do you have any of those small demolitions?
52:13
Maybe just something that could stay burning?
52:15
Yeah, honestly, goody. It's it's why I make them to
52:19
feel something, to remind me that I'm human.
52:22
And now I'm here like, I don't just want to make things
52:25
explode, I want to, I want to feel things and I want to know
52:29
what what this whole thing is all about.
52:31
And sometimes I just feel like it's all just a spinning mumbo
52:34
jumbo that I can't quite figure out.
52:36
So if there's anything that I know that works, it's trying
52:41
something new and learning. And it sounds like that's what
52:43
you want to do. So I'm all bored.
52:45
Here's some bombs. I just feel more comfortable
52:48
being myself around you guys and I think that's taught me that I
52:51
can let go of be in any specific half of myself.
52:55
I'm not goody and I'm not baddie.
52:57
I'm just me. What's your name?
53:02
My my my grandma used to call me Yin.
53:07
That's I love that. I love that.
53:08
That's very peaceful. It feels calm.
53:11
Yeah, I never really connected with it, but I think I
53:14
understand now and. I think I'm going to take your
53:16
explosive and emulate what I want to do with the old lanterns
53:20
and put a little flame inside and I'm going to lift it and I'm
53:25
hoping we're near twilight. Yeah, it's definitely you guys
53:27
took several hours to deconstruct the lanterns on the
53:30
path and hang up new ones, so we're getting into dusky
53:35
territory. I think I hand the lit Lantern
53:37
in front of you guys and like kind of expecting hands to to
53:41
join me and I want to the how hard it was for us to find this
53:46
and, you know, move through all these emotions.
53:47
I want to make an easy path with the shoelace and the lanterns
53:51
coming up from where they go up to the campers.
53:54
Like a little beacon to show them where to go.
53:56
Yeah, I would want to light all of them, but I think this is a
53:58
good start. Oh, that's really nice.
54:01
Let's roll for that, goody. Laser maps.
54:04
You think? Yeah, I guess you're showing
54:06
them the way. Let's see Laser maps 3.
54:08
I would love to see a 10. That is a 13.
54:14
Perfect. Yeah, I think you get 1-2, maybe
54:17
even 3 fun lanterns up if you'd like to have a few more to
54:20
light. The way.
54:21
You guys are making this feel really special for kids who
54:26
probably haven't had anyone rolling out the red carpet for
54:29
them in recent years. This is really, really special.
54:33
Should we set up the yard games? Well, I think I'd actually like
54:36
to light maybe one more candle just for just for myself, for
54:42
casino night and all the people that were hurt, I've been
54:48
feeling bad about for a long time.
54:49
And I need to let it go because it was it was never my idea.
54:54
My, my dad put me up to it and I tried to turn it into something
54:57
good. I tried that night.
54:58
I've done it time and again and I've honestly, I think that I
55:01
think, I think this Lantern is my dad, Not in a little way.
55:05
I, I, I'm a human being. My, I, I, I don't have Lantern
55:08
blood or whatever. I, metaphorically this Lantern I
55:13
think is the idea of me, or maybe rather the idea of my,
55:18
what my expectations of my dad are.
55:20
And I need to let that go because every time I forget,
55:25
it's another casino night. You know, Joey, the only thing I
55:29
expect of you is to be here. You're pretty great.
55:32
You're really brave. Thanks, Ian, and thanks Monty.
55:36
Yeah, still Monty. You know, you, you and my sister
55:38
Marty would actually get along really, really well.
55:40
Monty and Marty. Yeah, she's her name's Mariela.
55:43
She's a, she's a really, really good boxer.
55:45
And my other sister, Gabriella, you love her.
55:47
She's a she's a mechanic. And anyways, I just, I, they're
55:52
always talking about pretty stuff and stuff, but like nobody
55:54
really understands them. And, and I think you're one of
55:57
the good ones. And I think I'd like to
55:58
introduce you to my sisters. I.
56:00
I said I'd like to introduce you to my sisters.
56:03
I would love to meet your sisters, Joey.
56:06
Thank you. I sorry I put so so intense
56:08
there for a moment. It's just the first time I've
56:10
ever asked anyone to do that. Yeah, I would love to be
56:13
introduced to your sisters as your friend.
56:17
That's what I was hoping. Awesome.
56:21
Hey, hey, Goody, come over here. Give Goody with that same talk
56:24
for me, for you. You're the one that's got a
56:26
chance with it, OK. Monty, after seeing like her,
56:34
both of her new found friends find themselves as feeling very.
56:40
Self fulfilled think I, I, I want to light a Lantern too,
56:46
although I, I, I can't confidently say that I
56:49
understand why I was sent to this camp.
56:54
I'd I have learned that maybe being the Hostess with the
56:58
mostess wasn't necessarily about how it made me feel when people
57:04
experienced a really good party, but about how they feel when
57:08
they come to one of my really, really good parties.
57:12
And I think maybe that that's more important than like the
57:16
social status. I it's more important than the
57:21
social status I can claim from being the Hostess with the
57:26
mostess. Wow.
57:28
Monty, I just, I want to let you know that most of the time you
57:32
make me feel pretty good to be around you and that is saying
57:36
something for how bad you make me feel sometimes.
57:39
I mean, it's always felt like a party.
57:40
That's what I'm saying. Like a roller.
57:42
Coaster. I mean, it's like.
57:43
The up and down. Sometimes we make fun of Joey,
57:45
but I mean. Yeah, sometimes my my, my jacket
57:47
gets poked full of holes, but that would help me see that my
57:49
dad was also full of holes, like Swiss cheese.
57:52
Right. I think there's something for
57:54
everyone to learn at a good party and, and every good party
57:57
has ebbs and flows, right? You know, like you got to bring
58:00
them down. Bring them up.
58:01
But anyways, yeah, so I think I like push people away or like,
58:05
you know, hold them at a distance because like, I don't,
58:09
I don't feel like I have anything real to offer, you
58:13
know? Hey, my family's hugged us.
58:16
And I, I, I pull, I pull them on too.
58:17
Just please our hearts on. Our side.
58:18
Oh, OK, wait. I'm in the mood.
58:22
This is this is actually kind of nice.
58:26
You're good as you are. You're good as you are.
58:29
Well, I know that it's on my, it's on my Mia.
58:31
Well, it's not, we're not at home right now, but on my Mia at
58:33
home, I got. You're good as you are,
58:36
sunshine. So I have a question because my
58:39
shaman tells me this all the time and I just have so much
58:42
trouble believing him. How?
58:44
How do you say something and believe it?
58:47
Well The thing is, you gotta just remember that.
58:49
I mean we're all just stupid dumb ass people trying to get
58:52
by. Not good, not bad, just stupid
58:55
dumb ass people trying to get the fuck by.
58:57
And Rich. Some of us that that it kind of
59:00
also lends you towards the. She, like, stands up a little
59:03
straighter. And Rich, definitely not the end
59:05
to that. Definitely not the end to that.
59:07
I mean, you can really just instead of believing, you can
59:10
just have faith until you get there.
59:12
So my worth doesn't depend on like how much money my family
59:16
makes. Now it's really about the things
59:18
you do, the people you surround yourself, and the values that
59:22
you hold most dear. So I really should start
59:26
implementing like a guest list. It shouldn't just be like, open
59:28
for all, yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean.
59:30
I think if you light the Lantern with us, it will make you feel
59:34
something that you don't have to do anything or anyone but you.
59:38
OK, I light the Lantern. I believe.
59:42
I believe. I believe that Monty throws one
59:44
hell of a party and it's about to be 1.
59:47
Amen, I. Feel like I'm hearing the kids
59:49
like to start to gather behind us like the the the cessoris of
59:53
the the noise of the crowd. Oh, here they come.
59:55
OK, everyone in their in your places.
59:57
In your places. Wait, you guys do the yard
59:58
games? I'll do the spider web the
59:59
second one. This one's for you, Monty.
1:00:01
OK, OK. Sets up the yard game.
1:00:04
Just make sure like everything is angled perfectly.
1:00:07
Just that like last check before people come to your house.
1:00:09
Like OK, did I get everything? Oh, and I started a fire for the
1:00:12
bacon. Oh perfect, the smell will
1:00:15
beckon them here. I feel like one last thing that
1:00:19
I'm not sure if Monty or Joey might do this, but I imagine
1:00:23
there's a game of like cornhole or bag toss, people caught and
1:00:26
one of us tosses the bag to make it feel like there's a game
1:00:29
that's already been played. Like as if the night is kind of
1:00:31
already started as they all are walking into this big
1:00:33
extravaganza. Just the tiniest little extra
1:00:36
touch to mar the perfection that has been set.
1:00:39
I think Monty would see Joey do this and give him a little nod
1:00:42
and like a wink of like. Inspired, right?
1:00:45
Right. I think I'm getting it.
1:00:46
It's. A really good idea it's.
1:00:48
A It's like. A It makes it more inviting, you
1:00:49
know, It's like a Symphony. Yeah.
1:00:51
Like people can touch this. Should should we hide?
1:00:55
Up in the tree. Well, if we go up in the tree,
1:00:57
they'll think that everything was just here for them.
1:00:59
I just don't want them to think it was us.
1:01:01
That's a really good point. We should hide and join the
1:01:02
group. Let's just have fun and look at
1:01:04
let's. Just join let's.
1:01:05
Just like, bask in our own greatness.
1:01:06
Hey Joey, will you do the? Honors and I hand like the most
1:01:10
like Goonies contraption ignition you gave me earlier for
1:01:15
the explosive. OK, so you're not supposed to
1:01:18
wire live to neutral to ground all in You're just normally not
1:01:24
done. You said connect the wires.
1:01:27
That's fair. It should.
1:01:29
Move inches one wire away from another.
1:01:31
That might be catastrophic. Yeah, it should be fine.
1:01:36
And I as the kids, as I hear the kids come, I hit that button or
1:01:41
whatever contraption Goody has given me to light up the the
1:01:45
Lantern path with the many little explosives.
1:01:48
The shoestring. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:01:50
I'm imagine. I'm hoping that it correlates to
1:01:52
some of the lanterns lighting up.
1:01:54
Yeah, I was just going to say So the sun is officially setting
1:01:57
around camp, and just as it does, this big swell of campers
1:02:01
arrives from the path along the lake.
1:02:04
And almost as if by magic, simultaneously, the lanterns
1:02:10
begin to glow. They sort of like movie magic.
1:02:14
Click click click on into the path into the darkness of the
1:02:18
woods like they're welcoming campers home.
1:02:21
The luau is going to happen here on the beach 1st but as a warm
1:02:25
welcome. The lanterns glow really warmly.
1:02:29
At the same time, this firecracker shoelace begins to
1:02:33
sparkle, like sort of raining down little sparks and sparkles
1:02:39
along the path, just for some extra razzle dazzle pyrotechnic
1:02:43
grand finale. Yes, so cool.
1:02:45
I was just going to say it's, it's, it's that sound of
1:02:48
fireworks that that little sizzle sound that's.
1:02:51
Better than what I pictured. That's so cool.
1:02:52
I love it as you guys see campers faces just light up with
1:02:58
joy and awe as they arrive to the site of the luau and the
1:03:02
beginning of the Lantern path which now glows and sparkles
1:03:07
like with fresh newness. Have you guys tried to weasel
1:03:12
your way into the crowd as if you're going to attend the luau
1:03:15
as normal? I think, yeah, I think so.
1:03:18
I mean, there's a piece of Monty that wants to take credit for
1:03:21
everything, but I think she is laying that down to to just
1:03:25
enjoy what they have set up with the rest of the campers and a
1:03:29
little selfishly, like be in the crowd to hear like what people
1:03:32
are saying. Like do they?
1:03:34
Enjoy your own party. Exactly.
1:03:36
I was just gonna say it feels like parents at Christmas, like
1:03:40
enjoying the idea of Santa. And I think Joey, in that same
1:03:44
vein, is really hamming it up and being like.
1:03:46
I just get here. That's wild with this.
1:03:49
I mean, this place has been such a bummer up until now.
1:03:53
What a what a big turn around. What a change of fortunes, am I
1:03:55
right? What an absolute amazing thing.
1:03:57
When we were here last night, it looked totally different.
1:04:00
This place really is magic. Yeah, it's like a it's like a
1:04:03
once in a lifetime opportunity that just landed in everyone's
1:04:06
laps. Joey, did you say Santa?
1:04:09
Was it real? I don't think I said anything
1:04:12
about Santa recently, but Goody I don't think he is.
1:04:18
Well, that's a bummer. Sorry.
1:04:21
Do you prefer yen now? I mean, you can call me I like,
1:04:25
I like when you guys call me Goody.
1:04:26
I just, I, I think a change of heart doesn't always have to
1:04:29
come with a change of name, but it's nice that I can keep my
1:04:31
shoes on or off without being different.
1:04:33
Well, if I if you're ever worried that I am an alien
1:04:36
duplicate, because with you, you never know, I will tell you your
1:04:40
true name. But for now, I'll call you
1:04:43
goody. I cuz I, I also imagine just
1:04:46
like having our own little party, watching the lanterns
1:04:48
initially going up and Monty having her moment and then when
1:04:51
we did sneak back into the crowd.
1:04:52
I in addition to like the, you know, Christmas and being there
1:04:57
for the kids. I think goodies like walking
1:04:59
around and truly being part of the people for like the first
1:05:02
time. That's so nice.
1:05:03
Yeah. I think you guys mix and mingle
1:05:05
with other campers, but you always keep a line of sight on
1:05:08
each other and you steal glances and smirks and sort of relish in
1:05:13
this little secret that you have together.
1:05:18
The luau commences, and later that night, after the luau, your
1:05:22
camp mates prepare to take their first steps along the trail and
1:05:26
into the forest. You observe them from the back
1:05:29
of the pack, maybe watching as they venture forth onto a path
1:05:34
that is sure to leave them feeling lighter and brighter,
1:05:37
followed by Lottie and Brock and a few other counselors
1:05:41
snickering as if expecting the usual chaos and confusion.
1:05:45
Like in recent years, you wonder how things are going to change
1:05:49
around here, how Camp Second Chance might evolve and even
1:05:53
thrive now that the Lanterns are able to do their job properly.
1:05:57
You have succeeded in giving this camp a second chance to
1:06:00
heal, to heal itself, and to heal campers.
1:06:05
You may have arrived as troublemakers, but you'll leave
1:06:08
as unsung heroes with a little more hope and a lot more
1:06:11
friendship, if you can call it that.
1:06:15
And here is where we'll end our session.
1:06:19
This got a lot sappier than I was expecting, but what can I
1:06:23
say? I can always count on this table
1:06:25
to turn silly stories into something meaningful.
1:06:29
I hope you enjoyed the finale of Camp Second Chance.
