  Speaker 2: This is the Team Up Playshow podcast. Hello, and thank
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you so much for tuning in to the Team Up
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Playshow podcast. This is an improvised, narrative actual play show
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: using the new superhero TTRPG called Team Up. If you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: want to learn more about the game system, go read
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the manual and start building your own characters. All of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: that and more is available at teamuparpg dot com. Some
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of the language we use could be a bit confusing
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: if you don't know the rules. For instance, we say
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: l's a lot when we're talking about distance. L's is
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the unit of measurement that we made up for Team Up.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's a cube of about twenty feet. All the rules
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: are in the manual and some of the rules we
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: discuss in session zero on this podcast feed. If you
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: missed that, Our play show stars a wonderful cast of improvisers,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: including Ethan Goldman as the Paper.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Phantom, Stephanie Fackler as Quanta.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Ben as Riejeel, and I'm Johnny Wilson. I created Team
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Up and I'm the game director for this show. Our
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: story takes place in New Babble, a retro futuristic city
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: built to send humanity to space. With its purpose long
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: since realized, it stands as both a monument and a tomb,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: separated from the outside world. Welcome to the City of Bones.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: The long gray flats that stretch from Kansas City to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the visual relief of the rocky mountains are enough to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: make someone go mad. In monotony, where Colorado, Nebraska, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Kansas meet, a city was built to shine like a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: diamond in soot. America gave up this land to the world.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: The city was to be a self governing body guided
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: by the powers of the world, to allow humanity to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: reach up into the stars to reach God and ask
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: his help. The city of New Babel was built to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: save humanity from us up Earth's resources and dying to drought, starvation, heat,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and overpopulation, and it was a glorious triumph. Billions fled
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a shriveling Earth to find more verdant homes in the stars.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: When the last great space barge left, however, communication with
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the pioneers was mysteriously cut off, and they haven't been
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: heard from to this day. With so many leaving, the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: world felt empty, but it did heal. It worked, But
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: New Babble its purpose and its funding, its support, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: its connection to the rest of the world all became
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: unnecessary and wasteful. The city was left to its own devices,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: isolated as a pariah of the weird and unnatural. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: city now ambles aimlessly, as though undead, moving due to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: its millions of remaining inhabitants, but purposeless and stuck in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the mud of its waking death. It is a city
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of bones, ungoverned by outside influence. The powerful here have
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: made kings of themselves, funneling the abundance of the city
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to their bellies and coffers, while the poor and wretched
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: languish in their own humanity. Through the rot of decaying
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: visionaries and heroes, and in a graveyard of progress and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: scientific discovery, three new Babylonians have found themselves blossoming with
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: wondrous abilities beyond the natural human experience. Where these abilities
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: have come from is still much of a mystery to them,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and the amount of life that they will bring back
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to the dead city of Bones has yet to be decided.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: A deep night has fallen on our city, and the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: works of the wicked are easier to hide in darkness.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Will there be an answer from the forces of light.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Jason Turner crouches a pale gargoyle of paper, blending in
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: with the Gothic gargoyles of stone to your left and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to your right, on top of the Pendragon Library. Here
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you have a good view of the part of the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: city that lies in Nebraska, colloquially called Ask. But you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: have made a year territory. Who or what do we
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: see perched here on top of your domain?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Jason is wrapped in a paper cloak, a paper hood,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: and a long flowing paper cape, a CVS receipt as
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: a scarf, billowing in the wind. As he looks down
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: at the city below. He he can feel the paper
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: rustling on the street, and there's a darkness beside him.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: The book.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Speaks to Jason, this part of the city's under our prediction,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: and Jason replies, but crouching hurts my knees.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You're getting ready to leap into the night. Lately you've
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: been squeezing the Irish mob to get in information about
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a very specific book. There is someone who might know something,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and you know where they're going to be, just a
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: few blocks over in a bar. Just as you get
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: ready to leap, you hear a voice, Jason, Jason, what
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: it's Page? Right? You feel behind you the kind of
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: trapdoor in that comes up to the roof of the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: library starts to open. Jason, Arthur said, you'd be out here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm just sweeping the roof. Page pops her

• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the alleyway, a finger beckoning. It like a big cartoon
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: steam coming off a pie. You know. He looks to
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: his bodyguards and just says, hey, I'm gonna take a piss,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and he walks into the alley. I'll silently drop down

  Speaker 2: behind him as he's doing his business. Don't turn around,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: huh huh, No, don't turn around, You'll get piss ever,

  Speaker 2: There's something going on. There's other magic happening in the city.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: That book was magic, right right, Maybe this magic has
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: something to do with that magic. I'm listening. There's a guy.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: He's using magic and electricity to give people like superhuman powers.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Tell me where to go? Okay, one of the other

• 22:17
  Speaker 2: You start running on the rooftops, flitting in between buildings,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: coasting through the air towards Kono.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: He's looking at me.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: One unique thing about the city of Babel is that
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: there is a race of robotic people with metallic skin,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: human needs, and it seems like they have human souls.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: They all showed up mysteriously after the Evos were forced
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to space sixty years ago. We catch up with one
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: of those people now, Ronnie, you've had to change your
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: way of life. Your face was plastered on the news.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You've been labeled a murderer and a heretic. But the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: trail you're on now is hot, and at the end
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: of it is the righteous retribution of a lightning strike.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: You're on the tail of one Gavriel vena shore, A
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: sharply dressed man wearing a bowler hat with a blue
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: ribbon on it. Who do we see, dancing windborne over
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the rooftops and fire escapes in pursuit of your mark.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: A young day woman with opalescent skin. But I think
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for this purpose she is dressed head to toe in
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: black and has like sunglasses on to cover up her
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: glowing day eyes.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: A quick update on your friend Gabe. Gabe went back
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: to the church and he told them he found you
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: dead by a blade. He brought them a piece of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: your metal skin, and he was allowed back in their
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: graces so that he could get information for you. He's
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: in your ear piece. Oh awesome, what do you see?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: What do I see?
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: You're following this man, Gabrielle. You are in Cone know, walking,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: He's just walking in the streets. You kind of found
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: his place of residence and now you're following him.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just following him down the street. How much else
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to report?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, after they lost Dirk, there was a bunch
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: of stuff about like needing to find a new weapon,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and they said that there was like some sort of
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: bidding tonight at his place. His place, well, like it's
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: called like his store.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's where he's going. Now, Yeah, I'll check back
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: in a minute.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, we keep following, Gabrielle keeps walking. We go back
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: in time just a few days to a different night.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Thunder rumbles outside me, and of your face on the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: TV flashes like lightning through your mind. Your roommate Jillian
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: is there gawking as you stare numbly at the wall.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Jillian's voice starts breaking through. Ronnie, Ronnie, are you okay?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Ronnie's It's gotta be a mistake, right, You didn't do that?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: No, No, I didn't do that. Jerry did that, but
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I don't. Oh no, maybe Jerk did that. Maybe maybe
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it is my fault. It's all my fault. But I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: didn't write any of that. I didn't write any of
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that down. I didn't and I didn't actually kill anybody.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think that, you know that, right. I don't
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: think humans are inferior today.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course no. I wouldn't ever think that
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: they're They're using you.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: What are they What are they trying to accomplish by this?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Who did that to Cherry?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: They have used you most of your life, and now
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: they use your face to hide behind and conceal their
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: evil doings. A storm starts raging outside. What do you do?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be back. I'll be back in a little bit.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, what are you going to do?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, be careful, go outside, go up
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: to the roof. Is it raining yet?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Let the rain hit my clothes, my skin. I can
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: feel the lightning and the atmosphere, can feel the currents
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: going up and down. I can see you where it's
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: going to strike. You can feel where it's going to strike,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and I know who I need to strike.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Every drop of rain that hits you ignites electrical signals
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: that course through your body. The more you feel embodied
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: mind and spirit, it gives you more power, more energy
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to mold. Lightning from the storm crashes into a rod
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: close to you. It moves so quickly, it burns so fiercely,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: but it didn't surprise you. The lightning inside you build
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the energy, roiling, coursing, almost involuntarily. The lightning whip slowly
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: curls out of your hand, coiling by your feet. You
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: lash it to a nearby building. Could you swing? You
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: think of the rain igniting the electricity in your body,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the lightning striking close to you. You think of your
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: time of visions when you became like Nan. You think
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: of you think of the wicked men who use this
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: city with no accountability. Swing, No, we just said it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Strike You zip across your own lightning whip, traveling on
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: it as friend and master. How do you prepare yourself
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: for this new task, this new mantle.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I I crash through the storm until it passes over
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: New Babble, and then return to my apartment. Gabe, they
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: have to think I'm dead. Yeah, okay, I don't want
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to ask you to do this, but would you go back?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: No, that's smart, that's a good idea. I'll go back.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I'll get what info I can.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Then we find these four and we tear down what
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: they've made.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Find as much black clothing as I can find.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: That I am.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Over myself head to toe.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: They used your face to take the blame, and now
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: you'll take your face away from them, from everyone. You
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: ride out into the night, the unseen defender of the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: used and oppressed. You are Quanta. We jump back up
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: to the night when you are trailing Gabrielle. He eventually
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: gets to an incredibly fancy haberdashery. There are mannequins in
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the window dressed in the nicest of men's garb. Above
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: that is a very tall and very nice apartment complex.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: As you come and he starts to unlock the door
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: and enter, I want you to make me a vision check.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: As you look at the building and beyond.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Ok yeah, I would love to I'm looking at the building.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I would love to burst. As I've been following him,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: do a scan to see what he's feeling.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely right, So go ahead and do that vision
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: check with your synaptic scan.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: My new dice from Ethan five five.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: That's a success.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: So what is he feeling?
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: He's feeling excited, all right, he's feeling nervous. Okay, how
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: can you tell that, Ronnie?
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm blocking out everyone else on the street, everyone
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: else I can sense and looking at the electrical signals
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: going through his body to tell me what hormones are
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: being released, where they're going in his brain to understand
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: what he's feeling.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, you send his excitement is his nerves kind of
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: hand in hand. And then on that successful vision check,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: you also get a lay of the land of this building. Great,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: so it's his You see the electrical wiring running through
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: his store, the bright lights that spotlight these mannequins. But
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: then also behind it and kind of past the facade
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: is an enormous warehouse that takes up a lot of
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the block, kind of hidden by this initial run of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: shops and buildings.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Like it's not obvious that it would be connected to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: this shop.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: It's obvious to you right right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: But from the street right, is anyone else in there?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Do I sense any other humanoid electricity from in there?
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yes? As you continue to scan, you sense a lot
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: of people back there, kape, Yeah, what's up?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of people. Okay, where he's going? Okay,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to try to get in. Okay, great, Okay,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: good luck, Okay.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Let me know. I mean, I don't know what I
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: could do, but let me know.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just just figured to tell you I don't know.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's good. It's important I know where you are.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep, Okay, good luck. Well, I want to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: scan to see if there's another way in with like
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: what I saw with like the electrical map of like
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the wiring and stuff.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Is there a spot that's a door? The main thing
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: you sense, I think are lights? Well, roll me up.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I want I think I'll have an investigation or knowledge
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: check here. And it's going to be challenging, but you
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: can roll your scan with six six you beat me
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: by five. You follow the patterns of this electricity and
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the wiring, and there's a spot on the roof in
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the back that is strangely blank, and you think, oh,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: that might be like a hinged door in down into
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the warehouse.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I would love to make my way onto that roof.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: How do you get over there?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: How far? Am I?
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Is?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Am I?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: You're probably two l's across the street?
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Two l's across the street. How's the weather tonight?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Fine, it's a nice night.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're just gonna go for it. Anyways.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I let the electricity in my body concentrate and come
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: out in a whip from my hand, and I'm gonna
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: whip it across the street and swing across. And I
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: would love for that to be so fast as if
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: like a lightning strike hit this building randomly. Yes, I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: don't make the way to that door.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: It has a padlock on it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I just hold it in my hand.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: And great, make a make a street smarts check, zap
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the lock and use.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Control electricity with that eleven?
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Oh you beat me by five again?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: To me?
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Or breaks?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Great? I want to quietly open the door.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: You quietly open the door and take a peek. You
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: see a few things. There is a cat walk here
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: in this building directly below you maybe off well maybe
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: not directly below you, but on the catwalk a little
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: bit down, few ten feet maybe one l you see
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: a day man frozen. It's Dirk shit blade in the air,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: absolutely frozen.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: He's on the catwalk. I will quietly land on it,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: jump down on him and approach him.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: You approach him, you start to sense the electricity running
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: through him, and it's not there. It's dormant. He's not.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, okay, I wanna check out the stuff on
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: his back. Uh, see where blood goes in his body?
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: You find the port that blood goes into. Here's what
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: else you see in here? Yeah, hundreds of people at desks,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: at tables, chained working, sewing, drawing, designing.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, don't love that. I don't think I have to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: read their mental state to know that that's not good. Okay.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna I don't know how much he needs.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna prick my hand in smear a teeny
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: tiny little bit of blood. Were blood, cousin in the port?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: You do not have human blood. I don't have human blood.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I forgot him a robot. Correct, awesome, all.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Right, your heart's in the right place, though.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I'll give him a little little pat on
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: the head, say let me back for you again, buddy.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: On this night, Jamir, your toes dangle off the edge
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: of the highest building you could get to. Okay, okay,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: all right, it's been a week since the murder. The
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: pain is still so fresh, so raw. Your soul has
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: been opened to the darkness of greed in the world
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: and it burns. Will jump back in time a little bit.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: What does Jamir look like going through the paper and
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: dust in his grandma's study?
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: So Jamir begins to methodically go through row by row,
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: bookshelves by book shelf. You see a wiry, dark skinned
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: young guy, maybe nineteen, maybe twenty, a little bit older,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: he's twenty one, you see, maybe you can't tell, with
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: short dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, and thick eyebrows.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Sweat on those brows as he is combing through this
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: study looking for any clue as to what's going on,
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: what his grandma had been up to, and why she
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: was bringing him into this.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make an investigation check in this degage. This is
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: difficult five five eye rolled a five, which is a
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: very close fail. But you get a few things here.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: This is like your first time through all this stuff.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: It takes time. I think today, as you're weeding through
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: some of the stuff from your grandma, you find texts
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: about string theory. Ok, I'll put these over here. You
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: find texts about both astronomy and astrology. I keep those together.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Naturally these are the same.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Then you find a bunch of religious texts, and as
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: you kind of parse through them, they seem to have
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: the running theme of angelic study, the study of angels.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Does that have a fancy word? Ben angelology? Angelology so fancy?
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: That's so fancy. It sounds like like a doughnut shop,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: and it does.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: It does sound like a bakery. It sounds like a
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: bakery with like locale options.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Skinny angelology.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I like my angel skin angelology. You do, you bitch.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: You also find a text that would study pantheism and panantheism.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, theology section. Man, grandma really didn't have any organization.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: The last thing you find, you remember when you found
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: on the pot, there was that sticky note that said
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: realm of magic. Question mark you find here another one
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: of these notes. Because you did a very close fail,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to give you one. There are others around,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: but you're not focusing on those yet, but you find
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: one that says other practitioners, and then Piper question mark.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: I very carefully take this note and I put it
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: with on the desk the other pieces of my grandmother's
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: handwriting that I still have.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this note is just kind of stuck to, like
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: inside one of the drawers.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'll just kind of lay that next to
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: the letter on the desk.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: So in this week you spend some time going through
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: all your grandma's stuff. What else is jimyr getting up to.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Jamie is working less. He and Joe kind of have
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: an understanding after getting roughed up. He just kind of
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: tells Joe like, I think I'm going to take less
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: work and tries as best as he can to keep
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: up appearances with his family as well as with Jackie,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: but is spending as much time as he can sneaking away,
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: either to the manner to spend time in the study
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: and getting to know Maria, as well as spending time
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: in secluded places in the city trying to figure out
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: these powers.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Maria at one point stops you as you've come in
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: with some groceries, Uh, Jimi or.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I got everything off the list. It
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: should get us through the week. Well, thank you. You
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: know I can do that. No, I mean I'm out.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: I mean that's my job. I'm dipping and popping around,
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: so I make you go out. It's my job to
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: keep the home, so to keep the house, so you
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: don't have to. I'm happy to do it if you
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: ever can't.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, no, that's silly. I'm already out. I'm already out.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I like shopping, all right, All right, where are you
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: going to be here? Often live here.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Live here. I kind of look around. I feel strings
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: change in this very nice place. Definitely fish out of water.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: I take a beat breathing the mahogany floors, look at
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: Maria and say, do you want to know the truth?
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: I have never had a good night's sleep outside of
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: the shoot. I feel safe in there, knowing that those
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: thick walls are wrapping us all in.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: It's noisy, it's hot, but it's home. This place is
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: a lot, and I'm gonna be here. You know, I
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: got the work in the stuff to do. But staying
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: here overnight it's a bit much right now.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'll do everything I can to make it at
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: home for you.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: I mean no, you're doing above and beyond. You're doing
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: a great job, Maria, this is this is great. I'm
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: actually not doing above and beyond. I'm doing less than
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: my mother would have done for your Nan. Well yeah, yeah,
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: but uh, I don't need that much help. Nan probably did,
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: and I'm living in a communal living pot.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: You don't need to worry about me. Make make a
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: vision check vision. I got a two on that vision check.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I rolled a one. Jimir. You look at Maria, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: when you say I don't need that much help, do
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: you see something in her eyes break a little? I
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: think on that success, even though it's a very small success.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: You you see, this is what she's been made for.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: It's strange. Oh.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: I put my hand on her elbow and say, Maria, this,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: this place is all I have left of my grandmother,
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: and whatever legacy she wanted to pass on is hidden
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: in that study. And the work that we're doing in
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: this house, I genuinely believe is going to help this city.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: She nods, Sorry, I didn't mean to.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: No, no space, No, I'm a I'm not being a
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: good friend to you.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I well, you're not meant to be my friend, sure.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: But any other term to this dynamic makes me feel
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: even weirder. Okay, okay, okay, but seriously, I brought the food,
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna cook it, you know, So we're
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: a team here.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: She nods and smiles, looked, looks as though there's been
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: a level of relief, and she grabs the bag of
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: food and I'll be I'll be getting to work then.

• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, and it's not fair.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: She covers her mouth with her hand and just starts crying.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Here in the comic book shop.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: I kind of quickly moved from my side of the
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: table to right next to Jackie and just put my
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: arm around her and.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Let her cry. The two of you together grieve the
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: lost of your friend, and we jump back to the present,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: the dark night of New Babble your toes, feeling the
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: air coursing through this high up what has brought Jamir
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: to the edge of this building looking to jump? Jamir
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: can't get out of his head.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: The feelings that were coursing through him when he met
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: the gin, and he knows that things were put in him.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Power was put in him, and he's trying to figure
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: out how to get it out.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and roll a guts check plus your starflight.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, Gods is a D six, and that is a
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: D four.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: This is a This is going to be a challenging
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: checks Manerola D ten. Okay two plus three is five.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I rolled it two. Ooh, JIMMYR. Starfire melts the worry
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: in your heart and the shaking in your step. You
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: walk off the edge and begin to fall. Oh, but
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: then the light of the heavens fortifies your joints and
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: your will, and you decide that there is now no
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: barrier between you and where you might be allowed to go.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: And a shoot kid breaks the night as a shooting
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: star of blue fire. What does it look like? Hell?
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, as Jamir is falling and feeling this piece. His
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: eyes open up, the wind whipping past him as the
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: ground is racing to meet him. He feels this energy
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: almost naturally as he breathes out, flowing from his chest
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: down into his hands, and his tinkling hands he places
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: in front of him and brings forth his very first flightstone.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: It's a seven pointed blue disc that Jamir kind of
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: falls lands onto and begins flying on over the rooftops.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Awesome, Jason, You see, here's the information you have. There's
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: somebody making super people at this clothing door using magic
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: and electricity. As you're flying over the upper Market, you
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: see Ronnie, whose name you don't know. You see a
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: figure dressed all in black with sunglasses on, zapping with
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: electricity a lock, and then she jumps down into the
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: hole of this door she opened. What are you doing?
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna just shrouded in a giant paper cloak, glide
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: over there and try and like using the paper to
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: leverage myself around the entrance of the hatch, lower myself
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: in upside down like a bag, like a deeply disoriented
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: but trying to hide and be sneaky as sneaky as possible.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: You see this figure in the black interacting with a
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: frozen day man on the catwalk. You also see all
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: the people chained to their desks and workspaces. Seems like
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: they're happy.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry, buddy, I'll figure this out. Are you
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: my buddy? I don't I don't know. I don't know
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: what you are to me.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: I'll continue to observe from above. Are there any rafters,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: lights anything above this area I can kind of perch
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: on or yeah, I think there's like the catwalk and
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: above that there's metal beams, very industrial metal beams everywhere.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I'm gonna hang out up here, trying to
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: make my fold my paper in such a way that
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: it's as blended with the ceilings as possible.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on yet.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Do I as I like, move my awareness down to
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: look at the people going on? Do I sense this
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: paper clad lad behind me? Oh?
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Good question? Yeah? Why don't you roll a sneak check, Jason,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: and you roll a vision chap Ronnie doing flatter? Empowered here,
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: I'm empowering. If you empower, you get to empower. That's
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: the rules.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: If you empower, you get to empower. Empowered paper clad
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: lad versus Ronnie, I got a nine.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: A slithering paper phantom creeps up into the rafters behind
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: you without you knowing.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Are is there anyone in here guarding these folks?
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, there are guards.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: How many do I see?
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: There are only four guards, kind of one in each
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: quadrant walking around. Also, at this moment, the door opens
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: and you see Gabrielle come in. He starts walking around
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: looking at people's work. He starts slapping people with a
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: little switch on their hands for mistakes. And then we
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: go up to the sky. Jamir, you are flying, panicking,
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: holding onto your disc for the first time. Jamiir has
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: not done anything with these powers as far as fighting
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: or fighting crime or saving people. No. You see below
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: you a woman clad in black guarb with sunglasses on,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: zapping a door, and then you see crawling up behind
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: her a weird paper ghost following her down into the hall.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, I realize this woman might be up to no good,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: but she still shouldn't get jumped. So Jumiir is kind
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: of awkwardly flying on this flight star again like hands
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: clutching it, kind of crouching on this blue star. I
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: lean forward as I bring it down toward the earth,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: and I kind of stumble stumblefall off my flight star
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: and as I roll, I adjust my cape and I
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: begin to try to jog quietly after the paper ghost
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: to make sure that no harm comes to this woman
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: thief got it?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: As you enter, let's do I want to do a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: sneak check from you, and then the two of you
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: both make freaking.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Vision checks empowered.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Uh are you gonna be able to empower this? Ben? No,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: I have nothing to empower. Sneak. I'm just sneaking, so
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: he's not. You can steph. Is there a reason you can? Ethan?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Does he have any paper on his body? Ben?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: No, Nope. I got a two on this four four
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: for Jason.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Uh Ben or Jimmyry. You crashed through this doorway, this
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: hole in the ceiling. What do they see? What's your
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: initial kind of hidden look here?
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys see a young man wearing thick soled
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: black boots, but not really combat boots, more like malgoth
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: thick sold black boots, black sweatpants tucked into the boots,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: a black dry fit, a black dry fit athletic wear
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: long sleeve shirt with a seven pointed blue star drawn
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: on the right breast. He is wearing a dusty blue
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: three quarter lengths cape. He has a blue do rag
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: with eyeholes cut into it, covering his eyes and nose,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: and has a bandana, a blue bandana covering his mouth,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: and he's kind of crouching as if in mid sneak.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Three of you, did the rest of the room notice
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: this happening?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I got it too, You got it too. I think
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: that they look up a little, but it's your three
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: l's up. You're pretty far away, that's true.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, great, but.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: A few people kind of like what's going on up there?
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: But it's very dark up there, and you are above
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: the main light, so it's very hard to love that.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: The two of you, what the hell acknowledge each other? Jimiir, Jamiir?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: You don't see the weird ghost thing, but you do
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: see the person in black.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: I look down at my own black sweatpants, look at
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Jamir's black pants.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: And then there's a ghost following you.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Is it you?
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: What the fuck is going on?

  Speaker 4: My My heart is racing. I'm nervous, but I just

  Speaker 4: like I'm trying to save this woman if she needs it,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: or stop her if she needs that. So I'm like,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: I'm tensed, I'm kind of excited, but mostly just pounding heart,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: adrenaline going through my body.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Like that does not tell me much if he's gonna
• 1:05:25

• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Jason, what are you doing?

  Speaker 1: I'm not a ghost.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: The little guy talks the papers. Do we hear this
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: voice coming from the paper? It's the paper vocal I
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: can make.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess if the papers taget, I guess you
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 6: hear a voice from the rafters.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: That's coming down.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: You look up and I'm gonna scan again.
• 1:07:40

  Speaker 4: Hold on, Bere's gonna kind of crouch down, touch the
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: floor beneath his feet, close his eyes, take a breath,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: and push out another flight star and then very slowly
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: just start elevatoring straight up.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: On my start. Wait where are you going? This is
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: I'm still going. I'm going there. I'm not trying to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: go fast. I'm just trying to keep my balance. You
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: have to go up.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I am trying not to be seen right now. And
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: you if you make me and my but my day
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: person here, I'm.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Gonna get the ghost. Hang on, hang on, you float up.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I flick the little paperman with my fingers.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: A favor man falls down to the ground. I think
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: at this point, after hearing you and a more light
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: from Jamir's star, you see a crouching figure in the rafters.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: What the hell man?
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: I float within like ten feet of him and stop
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: and I stand on my star and can I say,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: are you trying to hurt this woman?
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: Hurt? Oh? I just need information.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: Also, boo, No, I'm getting the vibe.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we should talk down there with her, all right? Then?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, and then Junior kind of awkwardly like crouches back
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: down off his star and then like lowers it again
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: at a pretty slow rate.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jason's cape wraps around the rafters and just lowers
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: his body all the way to the cape rat reaches
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: all the way from the ceiling to the rafts.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: It's so long, very cool.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: You got magic, you got magic. I was told you'd
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: be here by who. I forgot his name. I'll be
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: completely honest. Are you I almost cut his dick? What what? Nobody?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows? I have powers? Okay, So I don't know
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: what guy you're talking about, but you're mistaken, sir.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: Are you Who are you looking for?
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: I just need information.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: I was told they would be magic here, Magic and electricity.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Magic.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Seems like you fit the bill, don't.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any magic well, as far as
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: I know, I just point well that, yeah, that that's
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: that's wild.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't I don't mess with electricity. So,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: and then I look back at this day person, I
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: saw you zapping a lock. Are you are you robbing
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: this place?
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Are you? Are you with the church?
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: I don't go to fucking shirt.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: And when I asked that, I want to see like
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: what their brains do, Like does that fire off anything?
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gleen, roll of vision check eleven. I can't beat
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: that with an average check. How do you how do
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: your minds react to church? And are you part of
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: the church? Okay, when you say the church is this,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. We haven't done any religion. And New Babbel
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: what what church is there?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: So there's the christ bunch so you might yeah, you
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: may not know. I'm just saying that from a day person.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: Would I have a yeah, rough guess of what they're
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 7: talking about. Yeah, there's two day churches. There's the day
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 7: Church of Prophecy, which believe that their visions are prophecies
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 7: and they commit their lives to studying their visions and
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 7: then figuring out what the prophecies mean. And then there's
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: the Church of New Babbel Day, which they believe that
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 7: the day our God come to earth. There's also the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 7: Catholic Church, which is not necessarily tied today, but there
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 7: probably are some day Christians.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jamir would assume she's referring to these day religious
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: sects and has no not really ill feelings toored them.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: But it's pretty ambivalent. It's like, that's just some weird
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: day stuff. Okay, I'll look at her.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Only church I know is the library. Nice you both
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: you feel on your success. You feel like both of
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: them are not from the church.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm I'm just here to try to also
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: get some information. Maybe you'd take down a really bad guy.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Is it who ever chained up these? Yes?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: People that one I point to gabriel.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: There's people chained up. It looks over the jamry you
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: see these people chained up. And at this moment something
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: starts changing in the room. Gabrielle starts to unlock the
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: chains that are attached to desks and uh anchors in
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: the floor, and he just yells, everybody in the middle, now,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: everybody in the middle, we have some visitors today. He
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: goes to his front door and you see coming in
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: a lots of people. Ronnie and Jason, you guys recognize
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: some folks. You recognize every member of the church council
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: is here. Ethan, you recognize the woman from who's a
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: coppo in the Irish gang and then there's just a
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: host of other people here that are entering in.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is about this spot.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: We should probably kill those guys.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: What killing, Jill?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I knows the easiest thing to do, right right?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Am I the only one? Am I crazy? One of
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: the guys entering in a in a vest and just
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: bursting out of this vest, rolled up sleeves and a
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: flat brim cap, yells at Gabrielle. Gabriel where is he?
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Tonight's the night?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: Gabrielle says, yes, just be patient, my friend, they'll be here.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: As he says this, bursting through the south wall, you
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: see a beast who has the body of a rhino.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: What and where the rhino's head should be, there is
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: instead the torso of a man, followed by a man's
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: head center. The man is disproportionately large and muscular, but
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: a man it is, and out of the man's head
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: sprouts a rhino horn that pull with sonic red energy.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: In his hand, he holds a mace of thick rebar
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: and concrete. Flapping down and landing on his back is
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: a scrawny man in a gymnast leotard. Out of his
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: back sprout gray wings that flutter in his descent. He
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: glares at the men across the way. He looks at
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: the people still bound but unchained from their workstations. The
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: flying man in the gymnast leotard says, this is it. It's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: not challenging. Gabrielle shouts back, how about them. We want
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: to see what you can do, But you didn't have
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: to break down my wall.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: I hearing that, I want to scan and because I
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: think maybe the attent of these animal people is to
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: hurt the folks that were just chained.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: I think I'm picking up on that too, so.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: I want to confirm that and then get on in there.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you have to roll for that.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: I just look at both of you as like, can
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: we kill them?
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: I just just jump in fall, just jump fall as
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: far as I can. Then electricity shoots out of my
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: hand to whip around the catwalk at the top to
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: slow my fall, and I'm going to land in between
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: the group of people and.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 7: The animal.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Folks, the rhino taur and the gymnast bird.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: When she jumps, Jamir will follow.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: The first thinking do I need to catch this person?
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I'll follow after what she jumps nice. I'll
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: summon forth some a flight star. Also get me to
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: the ground and try to look somewhat strong as I
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: stand in my dry fit.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna stay up on the catwalk. We're just gonna
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: pull out some paper swords from a pier.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: Two paper swords from your cape. You the three of
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: you jumped into action, except for the paper phantom to
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: be a sneaky book. Jamir and Quanta. You look at
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: this big rhino man and the birdman on his back,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: the mumbling behind you, of the group of people that
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: are here spectating this. They start saying, who the fuck,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: gravriel are these parts? Are these people part of it?
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: Gabrielle is shaking his head, looking worried. No, who the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: fuck are you?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: I want to wink at him and say, I'm God, bitch, Gabrielle.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: His eyes get wider. You see a few other eyes
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: get wider of the people you've seen before, and they say, no,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought you were She's back. At this point,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: the rhino man says something for the first time, when
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: shall we three meet again in thunder lightning or in
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: rain on? The man with the wings on his back
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: just says sorry, when the doc messed with his head.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Now all he can say is Shakespeare things. But I
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: think i'm his translator. I think what he means to
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: say is it's good to meet you or something. I
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm still working it out. Oh buddy, it's
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: time to leave. Take your rhino acid and get out
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: of here. The man with the wings looks down at
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: the rhino man, who says nothing, but does start like, uh,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: what is it called? Like pawing, pawing at the ground,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: stamping and pawing at the ground, looking as though he's
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: about to charge. The man in the leotard says, I'm sorry,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: there's just too much money in it for us. It's
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: time to rough and tumble and we'll end our first set. Yeah,
