Norse Sinnoh E19: A Well-Deserved Rest · The Multiverse Collective

0:00
We used to freshman year when Tulane was terrible at football,
0:04
we would be in the stand. This was like there were maybe
0:08
1000 people at the games and we were, if anything, we were on
0:13
like ESPN, you know, the Ocho. So nobody was able to hear us.
0:19
But but like we were miked up. So we would just have, I mean we
0:26
wouldn't swear as cheers because we weren't allowed to, but we
0:30
would like we had one. That was time and is not an
0:33
illusion. Roll wave roll nerds.
0:37
Fucking. Grants, Oh my God.
0:39
Hey, if anybody here is listening, went.
0:41
To That's the most nerdy football thing I've ever heard.
0:45
I think it's insane how different chants are in the UK
0:49
and the. USI.
0:50
Put real work into them. And we UK football chance.
0:54
We really go for like the like the kidneys with every single
0:59
like champ we do. I remember I was like maybe 10
1:03
years old. Then I went to a football match
1:04
and I was screaming, you fat bastard, every single time the
1:07
goalkeeper kicked the ball because that's what every other
1:10
person in the stand was doing. And it was like, this is this is
1:13
wholesome as fuck. I really want to go to a
1:19
football match when inevitably when Ginny and I come to visit
1:22
you. I'll take you to a football
1:24
game. I like I.
1:27
Forget all this, come through, I'll take all of you to a
1:29
football game and I'll get you a chicken tikka pie.
1:32
Oh yes. No, I I've never been, I've
1:35
never seen Man U, but I've seen, I think it was, I think it was
1:40
the Spurs. They were Tottenham.
1:43
Hotspurs you I will. I will not take you to a
1:45
Manchester United game because I will burn on that hallowed
1:48
ground if I if I walk on it. I just, I just want Jenny to
1:54
like, even if we don't go, I just kind of want to see Old
1:58
Trafford just to see it. You can see it from my flats.
2:01
It's OK that's that's as close as you need to be.
2:04
All right, Perfect. Great.
2:08
Glad that's sorted. No, I'll take you to Old
2:11
Trafford. I ran past it when I did a
2:12
marathon twice. How is this the first?
2:16
Of course you've done America. I'm not even surprised at this
2:19
point. I've got pictures of it
2:20
somewhere. Niall Lordrov.
2:24
There's no like, I'm not. He's done fucking everything.
2:28
Like, I'm not even surprised. Niall, you could, you could tell
2:31
me that you've like killed three men in Bosnia and I'm like,
2:35
yeah, OK, that sounds right. I mean, it did happen that one
2:43
time. I'm sorry for.
2:46
I'm sorry if there's any Bosnian listeners that that just took
2:49
offense to that. God forbid a man have hobbies.
2:51
I know, right? Do I do I get anything for
2:56
completing my goal of having killed Lugia sex because I don't
3:00
think we ever did it with. You so.
3:06
Big Elaine, obviously. So Jesus Christ.
3:13
Sex and the PG13 Christian Minecraft server.
3:20
Look man, you can do whatever you want.
3:21
I'm not RP ING it but you could do.
3:23
Whatever you want, I'm sorry, now I'm just like imagining
3:29
incredibly graphic RP sex scene between Kyle and Matt.
3:34
Just vile. We'll do that on an interleaving
3:37
another time all. Right.
3:41
That'll that'll go. Down that we'll never, never see
3:46
the light of day. The second in the Vault episode.
3:52
Oh fuck. Look man, if you if you jump on
3:56
our Patreon right now, pay us 50 bucks a month.
4:00
We should have a vault here. I'll just, I'll just bang those
4:03
out. I don't even care.
4:04
That's what she said. If you're if you're paying me 50
4:07
bucks a month, I will like you. Send me a script, I'll read it.
4:11
It's just Matt's only fans is the. 5050 dollars.
4:17
Jesus Christ we've not even started the episode.
4:20
Joe, what's going on? If I've not been able to find a
4:27
stream for an anime, I go to Pornhub because it's most likely
4:30
going to be there. I can't even go on Pornhub
4:33
because I know somewhere on that website my mom's there.
4:37
Oh, no. Oh.
4:39
No. Oh, we haven't talked about
4:42
this, have we? No.
4:43
No. Yeah.
4:45
Oh fuck. No.
4:46
You don't want to go on the interview right now.
4:50
From the episode. If you don't want it, we're
4:52
recording. We'll just go.
4:54
I can't go on Pornhub and I'll just go.
4:58
I showed, I showed Niall how to how to get the like the tile
5:01
transitions where it's like the the test screen.
5:04
So he can do that now. It's fine, my mom's never going
5:06
to watch this. That's not who I'm worried
5:08
about. Hi, Mom.
5:11
Yeah, that's fair. We'll talk about that some other
5:16
time. Yeah.
5:18
God. We'll save that for the
5:20
Christmas live stream. There's.
5:22
Like a whole e-mail. There's an e-mail.
5:25
Why is there just a singular e-mail?
5:28
I'll there are actually 2 emails, I only have one saved.
5:32
Yeah, one one is like the link and then the other is somebody
5:35
replying no. No, no, no, no, no, There wasn't
5:38
a link. I just know it exists out there.
5:40
So that's the problem is that it exists and that I don't know
5:44
anything about the title or where it might be.
5:48
So I just can't go because there's always a chance, you
5:52
know, There's always a chance. And that's what I'm.
5:55
Curious. Yeah, I don't want to see my mom
5:59
getting railed. Morbid curiosity, that's what it
6:02
is. I know enough.
6:05
I know too much. I know too much.
6:14
I got it. I finally killed the bird.
6:19
Glyde and Guinan helped. And working together with the
6:22
power of friendship, we took down the shadow Lugia.
6:28
Oh yes, that felt good. I hope Mix is proud.
7:21
I think after all that, Clive's just going to flop back and sit
7:24
down and go, well, Brutus, you got your revenge.
7:29
Yes, now for yours. Oh yeah.
7:33
OK, so I've, I've, I've embraced the chaos now, right?
7:37
And my two options was either to forgive or kill.
7:40
So my new long term goal is to kill Cliff.
7:44
Oh shit. Oh.
7:47
Shit. And you hear from from the
7:51
castle, you see Winona, you see Winona come out and she just
7:59
says by by the all father. We've we've done it.
8:03
Please, please come, come into the castle or to the tree.
8:10
We'll make sure that we'll make sure that you get healed once
8:14
away. Once at once, right away.
8:17
I can't speak. Does does Brick's curse go away?
8:23
Yeah, you see Brick, he's fainted, but you see the shadow
8:26
energy dissipate from Brick. So you can clear that.
8:29
You can clear that condition. That's fine.
8:31
I'm I'm just gonna revive. Guynan is still outside because
8:35
she needs to go get Reginald from the rubble because she
8:39
definitely left him out there. Yeah, so Brutus and Clyde, you
8:43
guys walk back into the tree. Guynan, you go to retrieve.
8:49
You go to retrieve Reginald. Yes, Reginald, the ball toy.
8:54
The ball toy slash hand grenade. Guynan, you hear a fun voice in
8:59
your head. Dilute it.
9:04
Mother, What can I do for you, Mother?
9:07
There is something I want here. Look it on your Mac back.
9:14
I have given you something. Take it out.
9:19
Now I want it a prize. I do everything for you.
9:27
Now it is time for you to return the favor.
9:32
And Gynan sighs really heavily, she knows what's being asked of
9:36
her, and she gets Reginald and trudges back, trudges back and
9:44
reaches into her backpack and grabs one of her ultra balls
9:48
out. It is not an ultra ball must.
9:52
Of oh God. It is you pull out what you
9:55
think is going to be an ultra ball and it is this this purple
9:59
capped ball with two or like a a Violet top with with two dark
10:07
purple kind of bumps on the top and you just hear.
10:35
So we find ourselves at the end of a hard fought battle.
10:41
Behind you, the smoldering but still standing World Tree of
10:45
Arborea. In front of you, a battlefield
10:48
littered with corpses from both allied and enemy combatants.
10:55
But among all of the chaos, all of the the death, the the three
11:02
of you find yourselves alive and victorious in this moment.
11:07
I think Brutus is just sitting on the ground.
11:10
Which is fair, you know, he's just got revenge.
11:13
I think Clyde is going to go and ask the The Tree of Arborea for
11:17
a beer or a couple beers. Guyan is just sort of wandering
11:24
around trying to figure out what she's supposed to do now.
11:29
I think that's kind of the general consensus of everybody
11:33
who's still up and around is just silence.
11:37
Nobody's not quite sure how to feel, how to react until, oh,
11:43
which by the way, you guys, I don't know if you kick this up,
11:47
but now you definitely see it. Clyde is covered in this like
11:50
blood red plate armor. Right, that was a thing.
11:54
That. Was a thing he did do that.
11:56
But you, Clyde, you see, you see in this moment, your first
12:01
thought is, man, I could go for an ale right now.
12:05
And you see one of these, one of these small roots kind of dig
12:10
through the ground and it holds up, it holds up a tanker to
12:15
veil. Hell yeah.
12:17
It's a magical tree. If you if it if you want beer,
12:20
it can get you beer. Nice.
12:22
That that's all I wanted. It's my second favorite kind of
12:25
tree. And then I'm going to go and sit
12:28
next to Brutus on the ground and drink my ale.
12:33
Think Guinan will eventually wander back over and sit with
12:36
the two of you? And as you guys are sitting,
12:40
just taking in the scene from behind you up on these these
12:44
like wooden, these wooden like fortifications made out of roots
12:49
and rock from this mountain that this tree is sitting on.
12:52
You just hear a booming clap and you look up and you see surge.
12:58
You just, you just hear. And then there's, there's one
13:04
clap and another. And then, then you hear more,
13:10
you hear more people start to clap.
13:12
And after a second it goes from it goes into a raucous applause
13:18
celebration. People are happy that you're
13:21
there. People are happy that they're
13:23
alive. People are happy that they're
13:24
victorious. And all of a sudden these
13:26
emotions just flow out into the world like like a rushing
13:31
torrent of water. Speaking of water, I got, he's
13:35
not hurt. So I, I'm pretty sure I healed
13:38
brick. I know he was knocked out, but
13:40
I'm pretty sure I revived and healed him up last time.
13:43
So I, I, I, he just sort of pops him out of his pokeball and sits
13:48
and just sort of, he doesn't not really affected by the applause.
13:52
He doesn't really care that much.
13:55
He didn't do this for anybody. He doesn't really care.
13:58
He just sort of sits and sits quietly with next to brick and
14:02
plied. Yeah, and I think Brutus, you
14:06
just having all these emotions, some of them good, some of them
14:09
bad. I think you are kind of tunnel
14:12
visioning for a second. You and Brick, you start tuning
14:15
out this applause and this growing, this celebration.
14:20
But Brutus, you feel a strong hand on your shoulder.
14:27
It looks at it. It is a familiar hand.
14:31
Is it Serge? It is not Serge.
14:34
You look up and you see like a form that is kind of in the
14:38
middle of corporealness. It is none other than the your
14:45
old partner mix. Oh fuck he shit.
14:51
I think he'll sort of just like can anybody else see him or is
14:55
this just like I'm seeing him situation?
14:59
If people can see him, nobody's really reacting to this.
15:03
OK, well if nobody can see him, they're just going to see Brutus
15:07
stand up and give the air a hug then.
15:09
Yeah, and Brutus, you feel, you feel mix, embrace you and you
15:16
just get the like the feeling, the energy that things are,
15:21
things have been complete. It's done.
15:26
You see mix nod and you see brick just kind of looking up
15:32
looks like Brick is able to kind of see this manifestation of mix
15:37
in front of you and you can see from some of the other shadow
15:42
Pokémon. You can see these vestiges of
15:44
the shadow energy kind of being being pulled out of these
15:48
Pokémon. And this is something got an
15:50
inclined. You guys see this as well.
15:52
This, this dark purple energy is being pulled out and is being
15:57
pulled into the World Tree. It looks like the World Tree is
16:00
almost like filtering this energy.
16:03
And so on one side, you see this malicious purple energy go in,
16:06
and from the other side, you just see this cloud of kind of
16:10
shining. It's not dust, but like it looks
16:14
like dust. Yeah.
16:15
Glitter. Hey, what?
16:30
I know that the loogie is not there anymore.
16:31
Where's the Braviary? Covered in blood on the
16:36
battlefield, because that's the way I never took down that wall
16:39
that I. Trapped the Braviary, but we
16:45
didn't kill it right? It was just.
16:47
Yeah, incapacitated. Was knocked out.
16:49
Knocked out. Yeah, Brutus, I think you do
16:53
notice as this like this kind of wall of blood kind of fades back
17:00
into the ground. You do see this Braviary?
17:03
It is still incapacitated. He's gonna walk over to it and
17:10
he'll look at it and then he's gonna throw a ultra ball at it.
17:13
Fuck. Yeah.
17:15
Hell yeah. OK, roll me.
17:20
Let's see, roll me two. I have two for or 3 + 3 for
17:25
ultra ball. I have to pull up 'cause I I
17:29
wrote this down. I believe it's plus one for
17:31
pokeball, +2 for grave ball, 3 for ultra ball.
17:35
Yeah, and add one more because you've vested it in combat,
17:38
yeah. +4 after 10, so 14. OK, yeah, You see this ultra
17:45
ball? You see this Braviary, it stirs
17:48
just enough to, to weakly open its eyes and look at you.
17:53
And I think it's, it's a look of it's a look of respect.
17:59
You can see that the shadow energy was being siphoned off of
18:02
it. And well, it still is Sisui in
18:05
form. And it still has, you know, the
18:07
physical features. You can see that the, the energy
18:11
around it and the, the look that it's giving you is, is one of
18:15
respect and one of I think. Thanks.
18:18
Brutus is going to look at look at the ball that it's caught in
18:22
and he's going to go, this is better than you deserve, and
18:25
he's going to throw the ball into a lake.
18:27
Damn. Jesus.
18:36
Damn, yeah, there's a ball in a lake.
18:42
But one day a great man will come, and the lady in the lake
18:45
will hand him that. Yeah, that'll we'll, we'll,
18:46
we'll figure that I like laying traps for the next season.
18:48
So that'll be a Season 3 thing. Noted.
18:53
I have to write that down. Even though I really want a
18:58
fucking bird. Through the braviary in the
19:00
lake, folks. So Clyde, I think this, this
19:17
blood armor, it kind of recedes into you and as it's, as it's
19:24
pulled into into your body, Clyde, you notice a familiar,
19:31
familiar face standing across the battlefield from you about
19:36
2525 meters away. You would recognize this Pokémon
19:40
very clearly as your partner Floatzel.
19:44
Oh no no. I'm going to look around to see
19:52
if anybody else notices. Floats all.
19:56
Once again, if if people see it, they're not paying at any mind.
20:01
I'll stand up and just walk towards floats all.
20:07
Yeah, it will see you walking, and it will walk to meet you.
20:11
And then again, as Brutus did with mix, I'm just going to give
20:15
floats a like a big embrace and like I'm going to say sorry for
20:21
letting him die. I think floats all will return
20:26
your embrace and you will just get using your pokey speech.
20:31
I will say it's, it's a little bit more faint than it usually
20:35
is, but you'll, you still get it and you know, you just hear it
20:41
worked out this way. God man, folks are so chill.
20:46
I was really hoping he had like a weird southern accent.
20:51
I don't know if you want that. Hey buddy, haven't seen you
20:57
since I died. Turns around and walks away.
21:02
All right, I don't see. Anything now, Jesus Christ.
21:08
Yeah, and I think you'll see like a tear, one tear go down
21:13
that Clyde's face and then he's gonna look around and realise
21:16
he's in front like thousands of people and Pokémon, like no.
21:20
And then I think now he's just questioning why he can see
21:25
floats up. And I think as as you're
21:28
questioning that, you see among other people, you see Winona and
21:35
Phoebe, the legendary warriors of Arboria and Shadowfell,
21:38
respectively, jump down to to to meet you 3.
21:44
And you see Phoebe kind of smile and said and she says, what does
21:49
she say? She says Shadowfell works in
21:52
mysterious ways. Well, no, I'm Shadowfell.
21:57
When I am around, Shadowfell is always nearer than one might
22:00
think. Does that mean does that mean if
22:03
we go to Shadow Fell, I can meet like a fully corporeal version
22:08
of fossil? It is possible, yes, in noted
22:13
and you see Winona just looks at you 3 very appreciatively and
22:18
says thank you very much for your service.
22:23
We I don't know if we would have been able to survive this
22:27
assault without you. Kind of smiles awkwardly.
22:32
I didn't do this for you. Clyde's just going to say silent
22:36
because he's he's he's feeling like a cocky little bastard and
22:40
he's like probably not best to to anger the the woman through
22:44
control. He's like the champion of our
22:46
barrier. Winona looks at you, Brutus, and
22:50
says, well, regardless of why, you did still come to our aid,
22:56
and for that I owe you immeasurably.
23:01
OK, with what? He asks important questions.
23:06
Winona looks around. Is, is there anything that that
23:11
myself, the legendary warrior of Arborea, is there anything that
23:15
I can provide? Is there anything that you're
23:17
looking for? Of course.
23:19
Oh yes, of course. Can you help me get these bones
23:22
back into my backpack? You see Winona looks around at
23:34
some Just like a bunch of dudes that are like, chilling and like
23:39
having beers and like, oh. My God, I can't believe we made
23:42
it. And he's just like, you heard
23:45
her return the bones to the pack and you see, like.
23:50
Kind of just sort of leaves the backpack open on the ground.
23:54
I forgot. We're basically we're swimming
23:57
in an ocean of bones in the immediate vicinity.
24:00
So at all of everything we've done, we've just been waiting
24:03
like knee deep through bones. Oh yeah, it's actually
24:12
surprising that you can see like the Pokémon that were a part of
24:16
this battle because there are so many bones.
24:21
My God. Well, they fell on top.
24:23
A lot of them did. At least we unleashed the
24:26
tsunami pretty early on in that, yeah.
24:29
He did wipe out quite a few of that Garrison though, so.
24:33
It worked out in the end. Well, it was helpful, I figure.
24:37
I figure we should probably, you know, keep that one on deck just
24:40
in case. Oh yeah.
24:44
Yes, well, we will. We will return these bones to
24:49
this pack. I I don't know how it is
24:53
possible for one pack to fit this many bones, but we will.
24:56
If that is, if that is what you wish, we will.
24:58
Don't worry about that part. We haven't quite figured it out
25:01
either. We don't ask that question.
25:05
We don't ask a lot of questions about things around here.
25:09
I'm just returning that to my inventory.
25:12
Thank you. Winona just raises an eyebrow
25:17
and just kind of stares at the scene and decides that she would
25:21
prefer not to stick around less. More questions are answered, so
25:26
she just. Don't offer help that you don't
25:30
intend to follow through. I.
25:33
Feel like it. I don't feel like it was like
25:34
that crazy of an ask. I don't know.
25:36
I used my Yeah, I used my stuff. Thank you.
25:42
I thought I was polite, just I want my stuff back.
25:46
They just don't get it. These people who aren't from the
25:48
material range don't understand how how it works.
25:51
It's difficult to acquire that many bones and I want them back.
25:55
I I am surprised you you managed to grab all of those in the heat
25:59
of a battle, like just after the heat of a battle and then
26:02
disappear. That was the more more
26:04
interesting part about that whole whole scene back in.
26:07
Sometimes it's best to just like, not ask questions about my
26:10
diligence, my commitment to a bit.
26:14
Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.
26:28
So Winona, as, as these bones are being recalled into this
26:34
this backpack and as the field is being cleared there you see
26:41
like a large set of doors materialized at the bottom of
26:44
this tree and open and Winona walks in and says, we, we will
26:50
make sure to send you home to the material plane as soon as we
26:55
are able. It's, I think at this point it's
26:58
like the middle of the night. Yeah, I mean, that's fine.
27:00
No, no rush, no rush. I I want the bones first.
27:03
That's, I mean that's. Not fair.
27:05
Not. Fair, and I think the guys could
27:06
use some rest. We will make sure to return your
27:11
bones from whence they came. Thank you and make sure that
27:15
everybody gets a full 8 hours as mandated by the Arborian OSHA.
27:19
Mandated. Yeah, That's incredible, you
27:21
guys. Treat mandate.
27:24
That's another interesting question.
27:26
Who's it mandated by? Who's what?
27:28
Mandated. Mandated.
27:29
By I was sleep you said it was mandated.
27:31
Yeah, that's incredible. Oh.
27:33
Arborian, OSHA. Wow.
27:36
Oh. I've never heard of that
27:40
Pokémon. Is that a variant of a regional
27:43
thing? Yes.
27:44
What is an OSHA? The officer of the Office of
27:49
Safety and Health Administration.
27:52
I, I don't know, I that's. A weird Pokémon.
27:54
That's a really weird Pokémon I don't.
27:57
Think I try, I tend to ask question, I try tend to not ask
28:02
questions that I don't want to know the answer to.
28:04
And frankly, it's something that I don't want to know the answer
28:07
to. What I'm saying is we will
28:09
collect your bones. Why don't you all take a rest
28:12
and tomorrow morning we will have a feast in your honor, and
28:16
then we will send you back to the material plane.
28:19
I have one more request. Of course, anything.
28:22
No fucking gruel. I second this request.
28:26
No gruel. Oh please, no more gruel.
28:30
You see one of one of these guys like just drop a couple of
28:33
femurs in the bag and it's just like, oh, but gruel is the
28:36
national dish of our Maria. I don't care if it's the
28:39
national dish of our Maria. You can have the gruel for all
28:43
of us and we'll have the good food.
28:45
Yeah, I. Have one more request.
28:48
Yes. That guy gets gruel.
28:53
Don't frighten me with a good time.
28:56
I don't know why he has like an Oliver Twist accent.
28:59
Good. Because Oliver Twist is like the
29:02
poster child of gruel. That's true.
29:05
Can I have some more? Don't threaten me with a good
29:10
time. Yes, it is mandated feast, A
29:16
feast of wonderful proportions for all and gruel for this guy.
29:23
And there was much rejoicing. So as things continue to be
29:43
cleaned up, Winona walks you through you see the halls of
29:48
this world tree and walks you down to an area with a large
29:54
kind of suite. So there's there's like a common
29:56
room in the middle and then each of you have like your own living
30:00
areas off of it. And Winona says this is lodgings
30:05
for the evening. Please feel free to make
30:08
yourself at home. If there's anything that you
30:11
need, we have we will make sure that you are taken care of.
30:15
And she gestures to a set of linoon that are just kind of
30:19
standing at attention on each side of the door.
30:22
Please just say the word and these linoon will get you
30:25
anything you need. The word.
30:28
You see one of the linoons run run out.
30:32
That was a bad idea. He's going to bring you a far
30:34
fetched on a surfboard. I want, I want ale for me and my
30:42
two friends. Wait, guy didn't?
30:44
Do you drink? Yeah, I've seen you drink that
30:46
one time, like with that really weird guy, but then I've not
30:50
seen you drink since. Well, you know, free ale, It
30:53
doesn't free ale. It doesn't come up a lot.
30:56
You see, you see the other lining nod and also scamper out
31:01
the door and Winona says, well if there's if there's nothing
31:06
else, then I will. I will leave you all to it.
31:10
I think Brutus is just really curious as to how these lining
31:12
are going to carry anything. Yeah, considering they're 4
31:15
legged weasels. Curious.
31:17
That's why I said the word. I wanted to know what was going
31:19
to happen. I.
31:22
Think they're going to be back with like 3 beers tied to their
31:25
backs just like sloshing everywhere.
31:27
Linunes soaking wet. Wet weasel.
31:31
Excellent. Three half filled tankards
31:34
avail. That sounds like that sounds
31:41
like the beginning of a Limp Bizkit song.
31:47
You see Winona just kind of leaves, and a couple minutes
31:51
later that second linoon comes in walking bipedally with a
31:56
large tray and you see three big old tankards of ale and you see
32:00
a bottle of some nice like, I don't know, it's the, it's the
32:06
equivalent of like a big old bottle of vodka.
32:08
You guys got the good stuff. Oh hell yeah.
32:10
It's always so unsettling when they make them bipedal.
32:13
I don't know why Pokémon don't just stay on 4 legs.
32:15
I don't like it. I don't like it.
32:18
You see, as the lining drops this tray, it immediately nods
32:22
and goes down to four legs. Thank you.
32:25
It nods, and it it takes up its post at the door, waiting for
32:30
should you guys need anything. Dynan, what is your opinion on
32:34
gum shoes? Oh, I find it very unsettling.
32:39
It walks with its hands behind its back.
32:42
It's incredibly unsettling, isn't it?
32:43
Why does it do that? He always looks like he's
32:48
investigating something. Yeah, but not in a good way.
32:51
And like it's investigating something to make not just
32:53
mischief, but like feral mischief sort of way.
32:59
I don't care for it. I don't care for it at all.
33:03
You see this line, You nod and scamper out the door.
33:06
Oh God. You you just incited a mass
33:10
genocide on our barrio. That was not my intention.
33:16
You see the lining come back. I'm also not going to complain
33:18
about it. You see the lining run out
33:20
again. I don't, I've, I whatever.
33:30
Whatever happens isn't our fault.
33:32
No, we didn't explicitly ask for this.
33:36
We've merely tacitly agreed. Anyway, to us, but beating Lugia
33:45
and he's a client's going to pick up a tank of ale, swig like
33:49
1/4 of it, and then pour this vodka into the top of the ale.
33:55
That sounds absolutely foul. That's vile.
34:00
That is vile. Well, you know, you know what
34:03
they say what happens in our Valoria stays in Aboria.
34:07
He's just going to throw the whole tank good back.
34:10
Your talents are being wasted on women.
34:16
I'm supposed to get women. I don't really know what you're
34:20
into. It's not really a yeah.
34:25
I kind of figured it seemed very secondary.
34:27
But you know, you watch a man open his throat like that and
34:31
you just, you can't help but wonder.
34:44
I don't know what you mean. I had to take goats of that.
34:46
I don't know what you mean. Whatever it was, it was rather
34:50
impressive. And I I, I don't know, ignore
34:52
me. I'm going to drink this beer
34:54
now, quietly by myself here in the room with both of you.
34:57
Oh. Fuck.
35:11
So. So what's the plan now?
35:14
Where do we go from here? I don't know.
35:17
I didn't think I'd get this far honestly.
35:21
You were acting on your own before.
35:22
Before. Like I don't know, how long ago
35:25
did we meet you? Like 2 1/2 weeks ago.
35:29
Something, yeah, it's it's a, it's a bit of a goofy timeline,
35:32
but I mean, before I even got Brick, I didn't think I'd be
35:36
able to get any sort of revenge outside of just beating a bird.
35:42
Well, you beat the shit out of that bird.
35:44
Yeah, the biggest bird you beat the shit out of.
35:48
That the biggest bird? Yeah, that was pretty fun.
35:56
I think this is the first time I've seen Bruce smile like
35:58
properly. It is.
36:02
It's less unsettling than I thought it would be.
36:04
Yeah, he actually has like pretty nice teeth.
36:11
Did you have braces as a kid? Fighting the urge to ask if she
36:15
can touch them. You got to keep up appearances
36:20
when you work for high end clients.
36:22
That's a bodyguard. That's true, I've watched my mom
36:25
inspect like 100 different dudes mouths.
36:28
But. But hey, maybe that was the end
36:31
of that. Maybe that was an inside thought
36:33
going on. What do you think I learned
36:39
about the throat thing? Yeah, definitely an inside fork.
36:45
OK, OK, sorry guys. I just, I hadn't been out a lot
36:49
before I met you guys. It's OK, It's OK.
36:51
Diamond, Diamond. We, we, we think no less of you.
36:54
It's just. Anyways, Clyde, I finished my
36:59
thing. So I feel like, I feel like I'm
37:02
sort of honor bound to help you guys see your revenges through.
37:08
Gandon, what's your revenge? Have you got revenge?
37:10
Not really. I'm mostly just kind of along
37:12
for the ride. You know this is fun, making
37:15
friends and saving the world and you know, catching Pokémon.
37:19
Yeah, your brother was kind of a Dick though, wasn't he?
37:21
Yeah, he's a huge Dick. Oh my God.
37:25
I. Don't.
37:30
I don't know if we should kill him.
37:31
I mean, I've said I'll kill you, Axel.
37:34
Like a lot, but. OK, I'm.
37:37
Just getting careful with the lanoon around.
37:40
Yeah. I've got to really, really wash
37:42
my mouth. You'll see one go through the
37:45
portal home tomorrow when we when we go back to my serial
37:49
plane. Speaking at the lanoon the first
37:53
comes back. It's been it's been gone a good
37:57
amount and it comes back with a tray.
37:59
It did not get the message. So it walks in on 2 legs and it
38:03
drops off a tray. There's a giant like this,
38:07
beautiful, like a three tiered cake, and just on the top it
38:12
just says the word. You know, I'm not even mad about
38:19
the two legs thing. This cake looks nice.
38:22
This one, this one gets it. But you forgot the knife.
38:32
Are we? Are we animals?
38:35
Don't you have like a dagger or something?
38:39
I do, but they're covered in rust and blood if you don't want
38:41
that as a cake. Well, it reaches into itself.
38:45
Into itself. Yeah, you see a pocket you
38:50
didn't know it had and it pulls out a like a kitchen knife.
38:54
Can we can we have brick clean that please please please of.
38:58
Course. Is this?
39:00
Like sort of kangaroo pouch situation.
39:03
Not only does Brick clean it, but he also gets like he bridges
39:07
also pours like 3 glasses of water for everyone.
39:09
But I could, I'm going to test my new blood powers mat as I
39:13
could, I could cut it and I'm going to try and like make a
39:15
knife out of the blood into my hand.
39:18
OK. Cake anymore roll.
39:22
Clyde, you know what am I? What the fuck?
39:27
Roll 2D6 plus attack with disadvantage.
39:33
Actually do it with double disadvantage.
39:35
So roll 4 dice and take the lowest 20.
39:39
It's not like gonna be a time. 4.
39:43
A4 total. Yeah, that means I got 2 ones
39:46
baby. So you see, Clyde, you see this
39:51
like this dagger just made out of like like liquid blood
39:57
appears in your hand and as you go, as you go to cut it, it just
40:02
starts spraying, spraying all over the cake and the wall.
40:07
Clyde, what the we have now we. Can't eat the fucking.
40:11
Cake. I mean your hop, your guys hop
40:14
is fine. The the other side of this cake
40:16
is great. I feel like there's some more
40:18
cross contamination going on than you would expect with this.
40:21
I don't. Even know whose blood this is,
40:23
that's more disturbing. I'm not going to question him.
40:30
No, we're just going to like try and pull the blood back.
40:35
The IT it goes from like a torrent to a small trickle and
40:40
finally finally stops. But like a good probably 60% of
40:45
the the wall is just like covered in blood.
40:49
Hey, hey, Le noon, le noon. Come over here.
40:54
Is the wooden just like it's just like have like 1000 yard
40:59
like PTSD worst? Yeah, you see the lighting comes
41:04
holding a knife. You see the line noon.
41:08
It's just, it is also just covered in blood and it just
41:11
like blinks at you so. Sorry I.
41:18
Expect it to be spick and spam in the morning.
41:22
You see these two line noon walk over to each other, They start
41:25
bickering with each other and they're like they're like
41:31
pointing at you and they're like pointing at the cake and they're
41:34
like kind of just. Like you do understand that kind
41:36
of understanding? And so finally they like they
41:42
they both run out. A couple seconds later they come
41:44
back with a mop and a bucket and they start mopping up this
41:46
blood. You know, because I could
41:48
understand that you were talking about me.
41:51
You know, I can speak to Pokémon.
41:52
I want you to both put like the classic maid outfit on while you
41:55
do this. You see both of them, I think
41:59
they're. Gonna evolve these things into
42:00
some obstacle and pretty soon with all this there's some
42:04
pretty brutal. Hey man, they started talking
42:07
shit. You just get a stream of like
42:11
who the fuck is this guy like? But he's changed.
42:17
They come and. They will be, and they come
42:19
back. And now you have two linoon
42:23
maids mopping the fucking walls. Congratulations.
42:28
Those are the same outfits that my that the guys were wearing
42:31
when my mom inspected their teeth.
42:33
Funny everything comes full circle, huh?
42:36
Yeah, see, now that was an outside thought.
42:38
That was that was funny. But you see, Clyde, we couldn't
42:45
have had that outside thought without the first inside thought
42:48
being outside. I don't have, that's true.
42:50
Inside Thoughts. My mom says that's a problem.
42:54
Yeah. I mean there's only like 1 other
42:57
instance where maybe it was like too much information.
43:01
I think there was 2. I can think of definitively 2
43:04
points. That's because you usually stop
43:07
listening when I talk. No, no, we can't do that.
43:10
It's not. True, unfortunately.
43:20
Diana just takes a long, slow drink of her beer and looks.
43:23
That's the wall. Quietly.
43:26
It's OK, it's. OK, anyways, Clyde, what are we
43:30
doing for your like how are we getting to your father?
43:34
I don't. As far as we know, he's in one
43:37
of the 9 levels of hell. Cool, so we just got to go to
43:40
hell. That seems simple enough.
43:43
Yeah, but but do we need stronger Pokémon?
43:47
Do we need, do we need a gift from Arseus?
43:52
I don't know. I'll probably.
43:52
Just catch Pokémon there, right? My mom said that she caught a
43:55
Pokémon there. My my dad said that he stopped
43:59
your mum from taking an egg once there that's.
44:02
It I feel like. And then your dad followed up by
44:04
taking an egg. So I think that sort of cancels
44:07
out, yeah. Yeah.
44:09
Yeah, stun, stun came from an egg there.
44:11
I mean, I think there's ample opportunity.
44:14
I think we can catch Pokémon in Hell.
44:17
This could be. Fun guys, Where else we would go
44:20
with this point if Guyanin doesn't have a goal?
44:24
No, I mean, I mostly just want to prove that my brother is, you
44:26
know, stupid and incapable. And I think if I go to hell and
44:29
maybe like, I don't know, catch a cool Pokémon or something, I
44:33
can show my mom and be like, hey mom, look, I have this sick
44:37
Pokémon and Axel is a loser. I don't know, maybe that would.
44:41
Because if we go to hell, we may as well.
44:43
We may as well do what asked, which is like the group goal of
44:47
killing the Unspeakable 1. And then how would your mum feel
44:50
about us murdering a boss? Oh that's true.
44:54
I don't know, maybe we just like we go look at the first couple
44:57
parts of hell. I mean there are like 9 whole
44:59
layers we can go and come back. Yeah, but we don't know which
45:03
layer that my dad's on. What if he's on like layer nine
45:07
with the Unspeakable 1? Well then, then we investigate
45:13
the first few and we figure out he's not there and then we come
45:17
back for a while and get stronger and then we go back.
45:23
Brutus, any thoughts going on in that head of yours?
45:26
Usually not. OK.
45:29
Hey, Guynen. Yes.
45:32
You blink and you take a look around and you are once again in
45:37
a in a black nothingness. Oh good, I love black
45:41
nothingness, and I love when you roll dice without saying
45:44
anything to me about it. Type.
45:47
A lot. Oh God, Probably in Adm.
45:52
OK, I'll open. It did she just like go like
45:59
blue screen in the middle of her seven?
46:01
Yeah, Brutus and Clyde, you guys see dining just kind of like
46:05
like freeze up, but dining. Do we get a doctor?
46:10
No, she does this. True.
46:23
All right, Gannon, you see this mass of just, you know, you
46:30
don't see it, but you feel it, and you hear this voice in your
46:35
head that you are all too familiar with.
46:39
Mother. I have a job for you.
46:44
What kind of job? Return it to the Material plane
46:49
immediately. Yes, mother.
46:52
Axel the throne, arranging our plane.
46:56
What is Axel done? The fuel and unweepingly helped
47:02
totally strowed on the material plane.
47:07
Well shit, that's not good at all.
47:10
You and your friends will do it for me.
47:14
Absolutely. Consider it what you want.
47:18
Call a friendly marketing session.
47:23
Absolutely, Mother. I'm not going to lie, I'm a
47:26
little upset that I can't catch that fucking mole trace, but I
47:29
understand the urgency of this matter.
47:33
Hello Prince, is that what you want?
47:38
I thought perhaps it was a human emotion.
47:41
Forgive me. Hello.
47:44
You can have it solve this issue and you will have it.
47:51
Thank you, Mother. You are as generous as always.
47:55
It will be resolved. God, you, you good guy.
48:08
Then you you sort of 1000 yards stared right in the middle of a
48:13
sentence there. Yeah, I sorry.
48:15
It happens. Sometimes I get like these
48:17
premonitions of like bad things happening.
48:22
Something bad's happening on the Material plane.
48:24
I think my hell idea maybe isn't what we should be doing.
48:26
I think it's like Groudon. Does anybody know anything about
48:32
Groudon? I have no idea what you're
48:34
talking about. I don't have a lot of
48:36
information but something about Groudon.
48:40
Is that the one that's on like a random island in the middle of
48:42
nowhere? Is it on the ground?
48:46
I think so. All I know is that it's wreaking
48:50
havoc and we have to they're. Like a day.
48:54
What the fuck's got? What's happening in the day?
48:57
Why is this on us? Oh, I.
49:00
Think was it Asius? Did Asius tell you we have to do
49:02
this? Because if not, then.
49:04
I still don't know who it. Is.
49:06
Fucking something keeps happening and it's just it comes
49:09
into my head and I get weird visions and I think it has
49:12
something to do with my brother. We need to kill your brother
49:16
then. I told you we needed to kill
49:18
him. I don't disagree, I just.
49:21
Even though we need to maim him and I'm and I.
49:23
Think I like the maiming idea a lot.
49:25
I think I like the maiming idea a lot.
49:27
I think if he had like 1 fewer legs he would be a lot easier to
49:31
talk. What if?
49:32
What if I take his left leg and his right arm?
49:35
Yeah, that's good. He's right-handed.
49:37
So then he couldn't ride anymore and that's like.
49:39
I know what cave you could explore.
49:42
That's true, we do know about that cave.
49:46
I wonder if that guy ever survived that that lava storm.
49:50
It's not come to bite us in the ass yet so I'm assuming assuming
49:53
he didn't. It's a magma storm.
49:54
Who could survive that? That was a horrible thing we did
49:59
and we're bonded for life because we killed a man
50:01
together. Yeah.
50:05
As we're talking, Brutus just reaches over and grabs a fistful
50:08
of cake and starts eating it. Bruce, that was the blood side.
50:12
Brutus, you're going to get some weird something.
50:16
I guess it doesn't matter. Anymore.
50:17
Hey Trude, you have like sexually transmitted disease,
50:21
like potions. The cake is pretty good though.
50:27
The tree didn't respond. You fucked my friend.
50:31
I'm concerned regardless, but you know, maybe it is true.
50:35
What happens on Arborea stays on Arborea.
50:37
That's something that people say, right?
50:39
I don't know, I was trying to kind it but let's hope it sticks
50:42
on. Yeah, I think, I think we can
50:45
let that one ride. I've also been thinking about
50:47
something We should ask for a reward.
50:49
Maybe we should ask for a statue in our honour.
50:52
Oh, that's a good idea. I think because you know our.
50:56
Parents have statues. Exactly.
50:59
My mom doesn't have statues outside of the house.
51:03
But she has statues. She has stuff.
51:04
I didn't say. Where to look at them?
51:07
Why are you not allowed to look at?
51:08
I don't even. I don't even want to have that
51:10
question. That seems like a really hard
51:14
rule to enforce. I mean, if they're kind of rate
51:17
in the court. How do you walk through the
51:19
courtyard? Without seeing them, there's
51:21
like 18 of them. Well, those are the public ones.
51:24
There are other ones. There's a private gallery of
51:29
statues that your mum has. Client, I don't think we should
51:32
dig into this. I don't think we should dig into
51:34
this. My face when Gynan's mum is
51:39
taking nudes in statue form. OK, you know what?
51:49
We'll leave that with you. Don't go in that room, Gynan.
51:51
Ever. Please.
51:52
I don't plan on it, I've already seen and heard too much.
51:57
Yeah, we know. But so this, this, this ominous
52:05
premonition says that we're supposed to defeat ground on.
52:11
First off, do we know where Groudon resides?
52:16
He he's on the material plane now.
52:18
I don't think he's supposed to be there.
52:19
I think that's why we have to take care of it.
52:22
There's a lot of that though is the issue.
52:24
Yeah, that's what I mean. This in quite a large area of
52:28
places. OK, so we're cool with the
52:32
statues, so let's just we've got to go and fight something in the
52:38
morning. Maybe we should should get 8
52:41
hours rest. I mean it is mandated.
52:45
It is mandated, yeah. We don't really have a choice.
52:47
Wait, we have to go to this fucking feast, guys, We ordered
52:51
a. Fucking feast is.
52:52
It tomorrow. Yeah, that's smart.
52:54
Don't worry. OK, OK.
52:56
After I mandated 8 hours. Great, so it's a breakfast
52:59
feast. And Clive's just going to start
53:02
like taking like big gulps of the vodka, you know, anything's
53:08
helped you sleep after, after a bottle will help.
53:10
Brutus is dipping the cake in the ale.
53:14
Exquisite. Surprisingly, the cake tastes
53:16
really good. Oh yeah, it's a great cake.
53:19
Really concerning. What are the oh what they
53:22
fucking called again? I'm sorry, my brain turned off
53:25
when we talked about wet nudes. It just like discarded every
53:28
single fucking conversation. If I'm is it Linuels?
53:33
I stand by the fact that Wet is the best character I've ever
53:35
played in any campaign. What are the?
53:39
What are the Linuels doing? Is it Linuels?
53:42
Is that? One for nude.
53:43
Linux. That's what I'm.
53:47
In made costumes. Yeah, as you asked.
53:53
Yes, they're finishing up mopping up this blood, and they
53:56
return to their post, eyeing you with much trepidation.
54:02
You can take the you can take the maid costumes off now.
54:04
Oh. No, I want them to stay in.
54:07
I can't like it. Never mind the guy don't want
54:10
you to keep the the maid costumes on.
54:12
Thank you. I I I only did that to teach you
54:14
a lesson. I hope you know that.
54:17
He did it because he loves you. Shout out my dad.
