Second chance. Welcome to Dice Sized and
0:12
welcome back to camp Second chance.
0:15
This is AD and D audio adventure podcast where we tell bite
0:18
sized, dice rolled twice told stories.
0:21
This is me, your GM and friend salve.
0:24
And with me, as always, is my cool, chaotic, colorful table of
0:28
friends and family. Here we of course have.
0:30
I have my brother-in-law, George.
0:32
Hey, it's G playing Patty, no shoes, I mean goodie 2 shoes and
0:37
I'm excited to be here. Excited to have all three of you
0:41
at this table. Suiting for me to play more than
0:43
one gear. And next we have Rob.
0:49
Hi, that's me, Joey Trombone, the only guy that can take up
0:52
more space in the the story and in a room than this little
0:56
fucker with no shoes. Let me tell you, you might have
0:59
two different personalities, but Joey Trombone got a big enough
1:02
personality for all of us. So excited to be here.
1:05
We'll see how it goes. Incredible.
1:07
And last but certainly not least, we have a Maya.
1:11
Hey, it's Maya, you can indeed call me Maya and also call me
1:14
Monty because that is my name tonight and don't wear it out.
1:19
Can't wait to see what scandals lie ahead of her.
1:22
I do feel like Monty loves to hear her own name.
1:25
Yes, yes, Monty is not like me in a lot of ways, but in that
1:32
way we are the same and I am proud.
1:35
Owning that personality that isn't yours.
1:37
I like the sound of my own voice and.
1:41
We like it too. You have probably already heard
1:44
these players bring their characters to life, but if you
1:46
missed it, check out session 0 of this Summer Camp story on the
1:49
main feed. And if you want to hear how
1:51
their first night at camp went, you can find a very special
1:55
Session 0.5 on our Patreon exclusive feed.
1:58
But not to worry if you aren't a premium subscriber.
2:00
Here's a little recap of what happened at the end of intake
2:04
day. Wait, Joey, it's your mother,
2:07
Ma. Where are you, Joey?
2:08
I thought you. You forgot your lunch again,
2:11
Joey. Oh my my, this is a dream.
2:13
Before she got into the. Recap I just wanted you to have
2:15
your sandwich to. Be a dream, ma.
2:17
You cannot canonically be here. No, I just gave it through the
2:21
front door. I'll leave you all alone.
2:22
I'm so sorry. Get out of your ma.
2:24
I'm sorry you're embarrassing in front of me and my new friends.
2:27
I'm in the podcaster now. I love you, Joey.
2:30
Bye, Ma. In session 0.5, our campers made
2:35
their way to the bonfire with a brief pit stop for some
2:38
recreational troublemaking for a night of introductions and
2:41
bonding. They met one of their lead
2:43
chaperones, Lottie, and humored her request to make
2:47
introductions and connect with fellow campers.
2:50
But suddenly, a stray spark from the fire lit several crates
2:54
ablaze, threatening to destroy camp supplies like sunscreen,
2:57
bug spray, and most importantly, the S'mores supply.
3:02
With no chaperones insight, some campers were indifferent and
3:06
watched on as the fire grew. But others, including Joey,
3:09
Monty and Goody, felt compelled to stop the blaze and save the
3:14
snacks. A series of creative efforts
3:16
including water schlepping, extinguisher hauling, cabin
3:19
searching, explosive detonating, tree branch bending attempts to
3:23
control the flames. These three troublemakers
3:26
actually found a way to put out the fire and open up the supply
3:29
crates, leveling up a few new skills along the way.
3:33
Unfortunately, the only snack that survived were the crumbly
3:37
remains of Nature Valley granola bars.
3:39
But while their spirits remained broken, their bonds began to
3:43
strengthen. Allegedly.
3:46
You're not besties. Not yet.
3:48
With these two, Monty, do you know who I am?
3:51
Trauma bonded. This one I don't think.
3:54
I don't think she likes me well. You don't have to like each
3:56
other to be friends. Trope.
3:58
Sort of. Sick like that.
4:00
I'm a gentleman. What do you want from me?
4:01
I'm I'm going to be, I'm going to be a friend of the lady and
4:04
I'm and the weird kid. If I'm not friends with him, I'm
4:06
going to be on his list. So let's hope not that.
4:11
On his list. Joe, you're kind of in the
4:13
middle of shoes on, shoes off. OK, OK, what?
4:16
You're a sandal guy. Open.
4:19
Toed shoes, yeah. Is that?
4:20
Crocs. Yeah, I, I was my, my master's
4:23
always wear steel toe boots because you, you never know what
4:27
you what you're gonna step on at the beach.
4:29
Protect your dogs. Steel Dog.
4:33
You have sweaty feet is what I'm hearing.
4:34
Well, I mean, I you don't look at them.
4:37
Stop it. I would love nothing more than
4:39
to not look at your feet. Well, yeah, you're going then
4:41
quit looking at them, do you? Have to wear the mini shorts
4:44
though. My mom said that long shorts are
4:47
bad, bad for the, the health of the, the, the, the spermes or
4:51
whatever. And then you went there, you
4:55
went too long, then the heat builds up down there.
4:57
I can hear your mom saying that, yeah.
4:59
Yeah, the sperm. She calls him the sperm.
5:01
I think that's called something else.
5:02
I don't know. Skip that class in high school.
5:06
What am I saying? I love that class in high school
5:07
I. Don't know how many people
5:08
didn't. This is Iowa.
5:10
Are you talking about Wreck? Don't get too sweaty in gym
5:15
class. As a reminder, Camp's Second
5:18
Chance is a home brew adventure that uses the role for Shoes
5:20
roll system, in which players start with one skill and one
5:23
skill only. Everyone.
5:25
Do anything one. That's right, players must
5:29
successfully roll all sixes on their D6 rolls to develop new
5:33
skills at higher levels, which allows them to increase the
5:35
number of dice they roll as they face new challenges.
5:39
They also gain XP that can be used to help them level up.
5:42
For a full explanation of the rules, check out Session 0 or
5:45
visit rollforshoes.com. George, Maya and Rob please list
5:51
off the skills you were able to gather during Session 0.5 as
5:54
Goody, Monty and Joey. Well Goody is just very attuned
6:00
to puzzles. I have a + 2 to my puzzles and
6:04
another skill I have is running without shoes.
6:07
Incredible. I like to take him off.
6:08
He's fast. He's fast when he's barefoot
6:11
only. No, not again.
6:12
Goody good, put it back on. It's just, it feels good.
6:16
In session zero, we had Monty's high heels.
6:21
Now we've talked a lot about both of your shoes and feet.
6:25
I'm sensing a theme. Well, you're gonna have to put
6:28
foot stuff in the content. Steel toed boots at the beach.
6:34
Somebody's thing. Joey what it skills to do
6:36
acquire? Sorry, sorry Ma, if I if I was
6:40
supposed to be next, I'm sorry, So sorry miss Lottie.
6:42
But first I, I tried so many things before I got to this, but
6:47
I first learned demolitions. So that was fun and I, I learned
6:51
to read which exciting. But then because of that, later
6:56
that day I had an opportunity and I read between the lines.
7:00
And that's my favorite skill because I've got, yeah, my name
7:03
is Joey Trombone and I've got Between the Lines.
7:05
Between the lines 3. That's pretty impressive.
7:07
Between the lines three. Yeah.
7:08
Incredible. Yeah.
7:09
It's kind of brain blasty, you know?
7:11
Right. He's got that intuition.
7:13
That's fair. You could say that.
7:16
Monty, what about you? Monty started off with Memory
7:19
Plus 2 because every good socialite remembers every detail
7:23
about their party guests. Who?
7:25
She then later rolled for Swole trying to break some branches
7:29
and she's buff as hell from all those Pilate classes she takes
7:33
before school. And then at the end, she rolled
7:36
for surveillance plus three because again, you know, you
7:41
always gotta know what's going on if you're he loves.
7:43
To surveil what's in that, I think it's past.
7:46
Monty Ohh yeah, you were kind of brain blasty too.
7:50
We we both kind of got. Brain blasty things.
7:51
That's pretty cool. What's in the bed?
7:55
Hopefully not ahead. Yay.
7:57
I can't wait to see how you guys use these skills to navigate
8:00
camp life, but I'm especially eager to see what new skills you
8:04
develop for your first full day at camp.
8:07
Second chance. I know I said your XP wouldn't
8:10
transfer from session to session, but I'd love to give
8:13
each of you with three XP to kick off this adventure.
8:18
Ah, from putting the fire out, because we are so good about
8:20
that. So, so good at that.
8:22
Yes. So without further.
8:25
Ado fuck that guy. Never fucking shows up that guy.
8:29
So absent. Somewhere across camp, a rooster
8:33
crows as the sun peeks up and into the windows of your dusty
8:39
cabin. Speakers crackle to life
8:42
throughout campus. Reveille blares loudly as you
8:47
rub the sleep out of your eyes and realize where you are.
8:51
Camp Second Chance wasn't just another nightmare.
8:55
You're really here, shipped off like cattle by your family and
8:58
expected to conform. Straighten up and get your act
9:02
together so you can finally stop letting them down.
9:06
As your first full day at camp begins, you understand that
9:09
you're expected to join your cohort of fellow campers in the
9:12
cafeteria by 7:00 AM for breakfast.
9:15
Miss it and you'll go hungry till lunch.
9:19
It's 6:30 and depending on your typical morning routine, this
9:23
might be a tough start for you really quickly.
9:26
What do these 30 minutes look like for each of you?
9:29
What time did you say we're waking up at?
9:31
Reveley. Do you all know Reveley?
9:37
Reveley is played pumped through the speakers at 6:30 and you
9:40
have to be to the cafeteria, probably a 4 minute walk by 7.
9:45
Monty. Wakes up with.
9:47
A shock and hearing the rooster wide bright eyes open, her
9:53
curlers are in her hair and she is just.
9:56
What is this? Rural.
9:58
Nightmare that I've found myself in a rooster for an alarm clock.
10:02
Oh my gosh. Hey, Monty.
10:04
Oh my God. Oh my God.
10:05
I thought it was a dream. I thought it was a dream.
10:08
I'm bending over the edge of the bunk from the top bunk and
10:10
looking down at you. Oh.
10:11
Don't touch my rollers. I I I've been away for a while,
10:16
you make weird noises when you sleep.
10:18
I'm a lady. How dare you say something as
10:21
that? I I sleep like an Angel.
10:28
Cartoonishly silly snore issues away from a few beds away as to
10:34
where I think actually Goody and Joey actually asleep.
10:37
I don't know why you're on top of her bunk.
10:39
I think I'm on top of your bunk. I'm just bent down, leaning
10:42
over, looking in. So you.
10:44
Yeah, I've been for a while. Joey's just like the the bed
10:47
vibrates. It's the entire thing.
10:49
It's like being in an earthquake every time he breathes.
10:54
I can't believe I'm sleeping in a room with other people.
10:57
OK. So do you guys jump out of bed
10:59
and get moving or are you sort of sluggish to the?
11:01
Start I think Monty like puts her Peach pink comforter back
11:05
over her head and just like. I think at that Joey just kind
11:11
of startles awake and and like. Rolls falls to the floor.
11:15
And you just hear him yell, but ma, the flower, the flowers, was
11:19
that a rooster flower was What was that?
11:22
Where are we? It was a rooster.
11:23
Oh, hey, Joey. Yeah, you.
11:26
You might have sleep apnea. You're an.
11:31
Asshole too. No, I'm.
11:33
I'm just trying to be helpful, but do you mind if I just put a
11:36
sock in your mouth next time I. Don't.
11:37
I don't have sleep after me. It's not coming after me.
11:43
It's. I try really hard to get it
11:44
actually. Yeah, you know what?
11:47
Never mind. Do you guys want to go to
11:49
breakfast? Yeah, I'm, I'm starving.
11:52
What time is it? I just it's a riflery Rooster
11:56
o'clock. I I, I eat at.
11:58
I eat at. 9 I think it's upside down 9.
12:01
Fucking you and all with the the smarts and stuff.
12:03
Let's get on. It's 6:30.
12:07
The rest of the campers are sort of getting their stuff together.
12:09
Some of them are bold enough to try and squeak in a shower,
12:11
Other of them are just going to wear their pyjamas and look a
12:14
mess and head to the cafeteria. Having just talked to Goody and
12:20
seeing all of like the students, I imagine I'd get like bumped by
12:23
one of them as like they're kind of going out.
12:26
And then I actually see Monty or any other female in their like
12:31
night clothes, as my mother would call them.
12:34
And I just say, oh God, I'm sorry.
12:36
I Are you ready? Are you ready to be seen?
12:41
Not quite. Hold on Puts on her silk robe,
12:44
her fluffy pink slippers, ties it up, Roller still in the hair.
12:49
OK, I'm ready now. OK, your face is on or whatever.
12:53
My mom, my mom, my mom says when her face isn't on.
12:56
I wouldn't like go to see her. Yeah.
12:57
I wake up like this. She did not.
12:59
She woke up two hours ago to put on her makeup to then wake up
13:03
with makeup. On can Monty roll surveillance
13:06
right now having snuck out and like I imagine you like
13:09
literally creeping out early hours to like have a full.
13:16
Slam sesh. I got to get my 5:00 to 9:00 or
13:18
get my 95. Oh my God.
13:20
Wait, Joey, your your mom can take her face off?
13:24
My mom could take her face off. OK, well, you're saying it in a
13:29
way that is really terrifying. I think my mom, like for for
13:33
her, I think it was just skin. Like I think she had skin.
13:35
I think her face would. It's make up you imbecile.
13:39
Oh, can I have a makeup wipe? Throws them across the room.
13:44
The dynamic of these three is truly doing something for my
13:48
soul. I don't know where the fuck you.
13:50
Pulled this this character. Out.
13:53
Of it's. Blowing my mind.
13:57
I think I'm realizing. Anyway, movie God.
14:00
Drama trumpet Monty would. After securing her silk robes
14:09
and her fluffy slippers, she would start to gather herself to
14:14
head to the cafeteria and she's grumbling the whole time.
14:16
Like sleep with people and have to eat in the same room as other
14:19
people. This is ridiculous.
14:21
I mean, this is horrific shared spaces.
14:23
Monty's never experienced something like this before.
14:26
The horrors, the oppression. Yeah.
14:29
And like when she has sleepovers, they do not sleep in
14:32
her room. They're they sleep in the guest
14:33
room, Right? And you've never once slept over
14:35
anywhere else? I'd imagine no.
14:38
Without Patrice to make me my special breakfast.
14:42
The. Horrors, no.
14:44
If Patrice can't come, I'm not going.
14:45
Monty, you are you you not a morning person?
14:48
You. You seem really upset.
14:50
It's not that I'm not a morning person.
14:52
I think the sun is great for your skin, but it's more like
14:55
I'm not a morning person with all of you.
14:57
You know what I mean? Like this type of morning is not
15:00
my morning. Are you really like Patrice or
15:02
whatever her name is? Her name is Patrice.
15:04
Thank you for remembering. She is my best friend and nanny.
15:07
Yeah. And I'm really disappointed
15:08
she's not here. I actually tried to call her a
15:10
couple of times last night to see if she could join me, but
15:12
apparently that's like, against the camp rules or whatever.
15:14
But like, I'll talk to them about it later.
15:16
My dad will call. What's something that Patrice
15:18
would do for you that maybe Joey and I could do for you?
15:22
Right, Joey? Sure, sure.
15:24
Yeah, yeah. Anything for a lady.
15:25
Could you make me authentic Russian pancakes?
15:29
Well, I yeah, I might be Russian.
15:32
Joey, Joey, do you know how to make Russian you're.
15:33
Definitely in a hurry, but I don't think you're rushing.
15:35
Oh, that. I could make you pancake shit, I
15:38
don't know if I could rush. It's like a really specific type
15:43
of pancake and I just I'm going to be fine.
15:46
It's great. She actually packed me some.
15:48
She pulls out these like squished ass pancakes.
15:52
I I think I, she only sent me enough rations for like 3
15:55
mornings. So I'm sorry I will not be
15:57
sharing. Yeah, well, I mean, I, yeah, I,
15:59
you've seen that you would like, really want me to want them.
16:02
I'm just like, yeah, they look delicious.
16:03
They are delicious, thank you. OK, well, can I?
16:07
Yeah, I have one. No, I think we should go find
16:09
whatever mush they're feeding us in the cafeteria.
16:11
Yeah. I mean, I think if we don't make
16:13
it, we'll probably maybe they won't even feed us.
16:15
Goodies gonna take their shoes off and run without shoes.
16:20
To the cafeteria. To the cafeteria.
16:21
Cool. Let's say you've got running
16:25
without shoes too. Is your goal to make it to the
16:28
cafeteria first? Yes.
16:30
All right, this is going to be so you're going to roll 2 dies
16:32
since you have running without shoes 2 and the check is going
16:35
to be a 7 to get there first. That's 2 ones.
16:43
Wow. Oh boy.
16:45
You gotta rub the sleep out of your toes.
16:47
It sounds like they're feeling a little crusty.
16:49
Is there a critical fail in this game?
16:51
There's not, but there's no way you're making anyone rushing
16:53
pancakes today. I think Goody is just confused
16:58
on whether or not they want their shoes on or off.
16:59
So OK, OK, I can just be faster if I take my shoes off.
17:02
You should don't be one in one. Nobody, nobody.
17:04
And then I confuse the hell out of myself and I'm going in a
17:06
circle because I take 1 shoe off and I just don't know how to
17:09
deal with the stimuli. So you find Batty maybe like
17:12
that's the. Beaten path.
17:14
Just doing circles around a tree.
17:15
Amazing. OK, the chaperones are
17:17
encouraging you to get to the cafeteria, so eventually you
17:20
make your way there. On the menu today, an
17:24
unidentifiable bowl of colorless oatmeal slop, A suspiciously
17:29
slippery biscuit and a bruised banana.
17:32
Yum. As you go to take your seats,
17:36
trays in hand, you see a mulleted man in Chuck Taylor's
17:40
step onto an empty table at the other end of the room.
17:44
He claps a few times before hollering at you.
17:47
Morning, campers. I'd say good morning, except
17:51
most of you don't look so good. Excuse me.
17:56
Sorry. I'll let you finish.
17:57
Yeah. Especially you.
17:58
I'm going. To need you to say sorry to her.
18:01
Yeah, I don't want to have to take my shoes off.
18:04
I missed her. I.
18:05
Already had to put him back on once, I mean.
18:07
Wait gentlemen, I have the floor up earlier than you're used to
18:12
I'd guess. He chuckles to himself.
18:16
But never fear my new found friend, we'll make morning
18:19
people out of you yet anyway. My name is Brock.
18:25
Monty gasps after hearing Bach Brock fuck whatever his name is.
18:30
Oh, interesting my. Mom says not to trust people
18:32
with voices like that. And I'm head counselor around
18:35
this joint, around this place. Don't want any of you
18:39
troublemakers getting any ideas. Drugs and alcohol are strictly
18:43
prohibited here at camp. Second chance.
18:46
First things first, make sure to finish your breakfast.
18:49
It's brain food and judging by your rap sheets, you freaks need
18:52
all the help you can get. Secondly, the moment I know
18:56
you've all been waiting. For.
18:58
Talent Show sign Ups Once you've cleared your plate, step up to
19:03
the clipboard here and let us know what talent you'll be
19:05
bringing to the staves this evening.
19:08
Don't worry, you'll have time to practice your talents later
19:11
today. Participation is mandatory and
19:14
before you start whining, you should know that the winner of
19:17
the talent show will get to enjoy a once in a lifetime
19:20
opportunity. You'll be among the first to
19:22
experience this year's Lantern path, accompanied by up to two
19:26
friends, followed by an unsupervised night under the
19:30
stars. In a tent.
19:33
I got to win that fucking talent show, guys.
19:35
Guys, I got to win that fucking talent show.
19:37
The Lanterns. You want it but real bad it
19:40
seems like. Oh yeah, I'll do anything.
19:41
The campers around you are hooting and hollering as you
19:44
sort of digest this information about what he said about the
19:47
talent show and what the prize is.
19:48
What's? The What's the deal with some
19:50
lanterns? Who's going to tell him that
19:51
talent shows are so tacky? Are you going to do tech stuff?
19:55
I know you're all so excited to perform your talents.
19:58
OK, OK, OK. Despite what you may or may not
20:02
have heard, the Lantern Path is a treasured tradition here at
20:06
Camp Second Chance. It's an opportunity.
20:08
To shed your. Troublemaking tendencies and
20:11
find your. Path.
20:12
And that's not just a metaphor. I can't give anything else away
20:16
about the path, but you'll have to trust.
20:17
That it'll be worth it to bring your.
20:19
Best talents to the table tonight.
20:21
Brock. Ow.
20:24
OK, Maya loves Brock. Monty.
20:28
Yeah. Brock's amazing, but I will say
20:30
that Joe is seething right now. Like he's like he's got 4/4
20:33
fingers up the number of times he needs to say sorry for you.
20:36
My my, my, good, good. My Juliet Rose.
20:39
He he he talks like my uncle and smells like skunk.
20:42
Yeah, he talks. Well, I mean, he doesn't talk.
20:44
I don't have any family members like that.
20:46
My mom says that anyone that talks like a surfer is something
20:48
that is either they think they're in heightened and they
20:51
they should go jump off a Cliff, she says.
20:53
But they definitely need to wear their steel toe boots.
20:56
I mean, if you're not going to wear your steel toe boots, how
20:57
are you going to reach the bottom of the ocean so you can
20:59
walk out of there? He he had those weird shoes on
21:03
that like go between your toes. Oh, die, die, die, die the
21:07
Vibers. Yeah, whatever.
21:08
Yeah, yeah. They were Chuck Taylors, for the
21:11
record. I think Monty, after hearing
21:14
that his name is Brock, wants to roll for surveillance to see if
21:17
Lottie's in the room and what she's doing.
21:20
I love it. Let's see, so you have
21:22
Surveillance 3, so you'll roll three die and that's going to be
21:26
a check of. 12 That's an 11. I want to go to you so bad 11 so
21:36
close. OK, so Lottie is in the room.
21:38
She's checking out her own clipboard.
21:41
Looks like she's running through the days sort of itinerary as
21:44
Brock says Brock out and throws up his peace sign and jumps from
21:48
the table. She's sort of like coyly
21:50
chuckles to herself and looks away and you can see maybe a
21:54
little bit of a blush on her cheek.
21:57
Interesting. Can I try to roll between the
21:59
lines on that to see if I can maybe read between the lines
22:02
absolutely what that interaction was like?
22:04
Between the lines 3 Let's see it.
22:06
I'm gonna bump the check down to 10.
22:09
I would wonder if you would say that Monty is helping this
22:10
because I would lead to Monty and be like, hey Monty, what are
22:12
you looking at? You got good eyes.
22:14
OK, so last night when we were on our way back to the cabin,
22:17
right, Lottie had disappeared. So she came back right OK and I
22:21
ran into her and wait. Wait, start, start from the from
22:25
the beginning. I was not listening.
22:26
I why? Why?
22:26
I can tell what you're saying is important now though, so I need
22:28
you to back up. OK, last night on the way back
22:30
from the cabins to the cabins, ran into Lottie.
22:34
Her lipstick smear, her face. Suspect girl, her necklace.
22:39
AB. Sess.
22:40
Do you know who we just met? Brock.
22:42
Do you know what Brock starts with?
22:44
I know you know, you just rolled for Reed.
22:45
Yeah, you're right. Beat.
22:47
Anyways, so I think that they have a relationship and I think
22:51
that we should abuse it. And you know what?
22:54
I think the fire started when they were gone.
22:56
It did. They left us.
22:58
Unsupervised and put us in an incredibly dangerous situation
23:01
with campers that did not care about their well-being.
23:05
At. All goodie, I'm going to need
23:06
you to keep your shoes on for a little bit longer.
23:08
We have to win this talent show so we can find out what's
23:11
happening between these religious.
23:12
Blackmail. OK, you need to not do that
23:15
whatever it was I need. To say a little bit more chill,
23:18
I actually agree with Joey on this point.
23:20
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just I get excited when I get
23:22
to do bad. Things.
23:23
You have a lot of good points, especially about the politics of
23:26
it all, but there's some there's some points in the manifesto,
23:28
especially when it just devolves into like gibberish, like
23:31
literally you're using a lot of punctuation at points where I'm
23:34
not sure if it makes sense. Is that what you're doing in the
23:37
manifesto, That sound? So yes, Monty, Monty, do you?
23:44
Oh, maybe you could blackmail her for pancakes.
23:48
Goody, I have never heard you say something smarter.
23:50
Thanks. That is a brilliant idea.
23:52
We could get elevated gestures at her tray, whatever this is.
23:58
As elevated as Brock was on whatever, he was on we.
24:00
Could maybe even get some quinoa.
24:03
What's? Quinoa.
24:05
What's Quinoa? OK Monty, are you helping Rob
24:09
with this role by informing him of the story?
24:11
Yes. OK cool, I love it.
24:13
Rob, you have read between the lines 3, so roll three die and
24:17
your check is a 10. OK, here we.
24:19
Go. Ish.
24:23
That is just a nine, but plus Monty's plus one help is a 10.
24:30
XP that I used to help him or just a general?
24:33
Just if you can sort of role play the way one of your skills
24:37
can help one of your teammates, they just get a nice plus one.
24:40
So the only time you'll spend XP is if you've got one or two
24:43
sixes and you want to try and bump all of your dice that
24:46
you've rolled to sixes so that you can gain a new skill.
24:49
That's when you'll use. XP.
24:51
That's right. OK.
24:52
So having rolled A10, what do I find out about this stuff going
24:55
on with Lottie and Brock? UC.
24:59
A fat tattoo on Brock Cap of loties Busted face.
25:06
I shouldn't say busted face. She's beautiful.
25:08
She looks like your mom. About to punch through the 4th
25:10
wall at you? The tattoo artist.
25:12
Bad tattoo artist. No.
25:14
Is it infected? It was.
25:17
That's bad, that's bad, that's not good.
25:19
I think you can successfully confirm that these two are
25:22
fucking. Yeah, that, that reminds me of
25:24
my first tattoo I got in my ma. I didn't go to the shop, she
25:26
said. She said I should really go to
25:28
the shop and I I didn't, I didn't listen.
25:30
And. Did you go to your friend's like
25:31
basement or something? I heard people do that.
25:33
How did how did you get a tattoo?
25:36
I'll just, I'll just, I'll just show you.
25:38
He shows you the Gnarlest tattoo on his lower rib cage.
25:43
It was pretty painful, like it's.
25:45
Literally oozing Joey, are you? OK, no, it's, I mean it's, it
25:49
stops oozing every other month. So it's, it's obviously healing.
25:53
Good. He touches it and it squirts.
25:56
That's actually relatively pretty painful.
25:58
So anyway, check check this one out though.
26:00
And he puts down his sleeve on his like right shoulder and he's
26:03
got like a beautifully done and classic like heart with barbed
26:07
wire. It just says mom it.
26:12
Just says mom. Oh wow.
26:13
That's very sweet. I can tell you love your mother
26:15
a lot. What can I say?
26:16
I learned from my lessons. But is that Lottie's face?
26:22
Well, I think it's supposed to be, but I would never say that
26:25
because Lottie looks and reminds me like my, my mother.
26:29
So I, I, I can't, I, I yeah, I think it's supposed to be.
26:32
But honestly, whoever did it deserve.
26:34
Die. It's terrible.
26:35
OK, OK, we're going to keep this.
26:38
I'm going to note this and we're not going to be very loud about
26:42
it. Brock's weaknesses.
26:43
His tattoo. Don't.
26:44
Don't scream it right now. Don't scream it right now, OK?
26:46
No, I. Love the way you all just team
26:49
worked your way through that curiosity.
26:51
OK, so you've been instructed to finish your breakfast and sign
26:54
up for the talent show. What sort of do you do?
26:57
I should note that you don't have to have any talents ready
26:59
for the talent show just yet. You will have time to refine
27:02
them today while we play. My mom would want me to make her
27:05
proud, so I got to figure out what I'm best at today.
27:09
I've been trying to figure it out for a long time, but today
27:12
I'm going to figure out my. And he says this next word with
27:15
the most utter and sincere, genuine intensity.
27:21
Talent. I got to figure out my talent
27:23
today. Joey, have you really, I don't
27:26
want to push you this way, but have you ever tried the
27:28
trombone? Kid, I'm telling you right now,
27:31
I wouldn't be good at it. I don't have the ambusher.
27:33
I really I Joey, I just, I think you might be a natural.
27:37
They called me Joey Trombone, and I think you might have
27:40
missed it. I was just talking at the window
27:42
when I said it. They call me Joey Trombone
27:45
because when I was in band, I didn't go to band.
27:50
They didn't even call me by my name.
27:51
They just say Joey Trombone because the it's just the
27:54
trombone and the CI Joey Joey never showed up.
27:57
So no, I can't face no trombone right now, man.
28:01
Goody, Goody. What are you good at?
28:04
I mean, you could win for us. You want to win so bad?
28:07
I can take my shoes off. I think there's an Internet
28:09
service. I think you should keep your.
28:11
Shoes on, Monty. Knows best, right?
28:13
We listen to Monty. Yes, yes I could.
28:17
I'm really good at climbing, running.
28:20
I can do tricks with my shoelaces.
28:23
I take my shoelaces out of my shoes and I do like a wildcat's
28:27
cradle mandala between my fingers.
28:29
Would you like to roll do anything to see if you can
28:31
develop a shoelace skill? Sure OK, it is also very puzzle
28:36
esque so I would also give you the chance.
28:38
You could either roll a die or do anything and try and level up
28:42
a new skill more specific to. Maybe.
28:45
Finger tricks and shoelaces. Or you could roll Puzzles 2 and
28:50
attempt to gain a skill at a level.
28:52
Three, I'm going to roll a do anything and aim for like a
28:57
knots string. Very cool, what does it do?
29:02
Damn. It looks bad, it might look bad.
29:05
I'm really bad at this and the shoelaces are sweaty and gross
29:08
and it's. Really cool.
29:10
You're learning, man. I can tell.
29:11
I can tell you're learning a lot from me, no?
29:12
Look. And I put it right in Joey's
29:14
face. OK, OK.
29:15
That is that macrame or is that just?
29:18
The smell? No, that is macaroni.
29:21
OK, yeah, Macaroni string art. I love that.
29:24
OK. Well, we have the afternoon, we
29:25
can keep that the same, right? Maybe shower.
29:29
OK. We'll figure something out.
29:31
My name is. I had so many things she
29:32
probably could cover for both of us.
29:34
You unfortunately do have to sign up for your talent at
29:37
breakfast. Oh, OK, well, we got to figure
29:39
out right now. Joey, what if we spent the
29:43
afternoon picking wildflowers and then you brought them to the
29:46
talent show and identified the flowers?
29:49
I got. Well, The thing is, I would need
29:50
my book and I would need several hours per flower.
29:54
To figure it out, there's. A lot of flowers out.
29:57
There what if I help you read? I know I can do that.
30:01
Oh yeah, but faster. OK, well, I mean, I'm, I'm
30:04
pretty good. +2. I've been feeling inspired
30:09
lately about that. OK, here's the thing.
30:12
Do we have to perform our talents individually?
30:15
It would be great if you all had individual talents to bring to
30:18
the table. You would have more
30:19
opportunities to roll successfully when you enter the
30:23
stage and attempt your talent. However, teaming up for a
30:27
talent, you know, we could work around that.
30:29
We could find ways to make that happen.
30:32
Can Monty roll for party tricks? For the talent show, yes.
30:37
Yeah. You want to roll for something
30:39
before you commit. To a skill on this.
30:41
Because this is a staring at you.
30:43
Wait a minute. Monty has no talents that she
30:47
can think of currently, but. She.
30:49
Does have a very good talent at finding other talented people
30:54
and making them perform tricks at her party.
30:56
She's the cruise director. Yes, yes, roll, do anything one
31:01
and we'll see what we get. Not party tricks.
31:07
Well, so The thing is, I do have one thing that I think like a,
31:11
like a superpower would one day be enlightened inside of me.
31:17
My my father's. My father's the greatest con man
31:20
that's ever hit this side of Iowa.
31:25
I love the word canonically in Iowa who just leaned in hardcore
31:28
Midwest. I mean, he's, he's, he's a man
31:30
of the con. He's a man of the con.
31:33
He's a man of the. Con man of the con.
31:35
Anyways, I'd like to roll for Magic St.
31:37
Magic preferably. You can roll do anything one.
31:41
Sure. Can you tell me how you sort of?
31:45
That's a 5 and I'm going to spend an XP to to to boost that
31:48
to a six. I love it.
31:50
Tell me how at breakfast, with your supplies and everything you
31:53
have, how are you practicing magic?
31:57
Well, so The thing is, I you're right, I really should have
31:59
justified that with role play first.
32:01
So do you want my shoelaces? OK, thank you.
32:05
Shoelaces out of my face please. Anyways, I've never been good at
32:08
cards, but I've never tried to perform.
32:11
The thing is, I've always just been at home and I play, I play
32:14
a lot of solitaire and I figure it one day I'll just click
32:16
right. Yeah, maybe you need the.
32:18
Pressure. You know, all the good
32:20
superheroes finally get their powers once they're like, under
32:23
pressure and afraid. That's what I'm saying, Monty.
32:26
Pick a card and if I don't get it right, kick me right in the
32:29
testicles. OK, can I, can I slap you?
32:32
Yeah, yeah, do that anyways, just give me slap.
32:34
You didn't realize that you were OK.
32:37
Yeah, that's. I'm fresh now I'm.
32:39
I'm rethinking the testicle thing, but I think I.
32:41
Got it. I've got my.
32:42
Card and I'm ready to kick you. And I shuffle the cards and then
32:47
I take a subsection out, throw it across the room.
32:53
I say, Monty, don't put your car in that chunk of cards over
32:56
there. Oh, the ones you just threw.
32:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, she's like stands up, closes
33:01
her robe again, tightens it, shuffles over to the pile of
33:04
cards and just like, drops it on the ground, walks back.
33:08
So this next part is a little bit weird.
33:10
This okay that this part is weird.
33:14
I mean, it's all kind of weird. Both I did it Is this a is?
33:20
This a card, Joey. That's my card.
33:22
We're going to win this, you guys, we're going to win this.
33:25
We might have to do with the three of us for your thing, but
33:27
we'll have our things too. But I think this real magic that
33:30
I just witnessed is going to win it.
33:32
Joey, I believe in you. Monty looked away for 1/2
33:35
second. I just shoved it.
33:37
I just shoved. Oh my God, I didn't.
33:44
Notice. OK, Monty's like piling her
33:46
nails buttering. Her face, Yeah, like in.
33:50
Between bites like I've eaten this like slop and gruel, she's
33:53
just. Like bullet time, I find the
33:55
perfect moment to time. Like with yeah, Monty's look
33:59
away and like into Goody's mouth so that he doesn't even realize
34:03
it. Wow.
34:04
OK. So are you as a group committing
34:06
to this talent for the talent show together?
34:09
I'd need a couple of assistance if they want to, but I would
34:11
never want to outshine Monty and good.
34:13
He's got so many, he's got a big brain.
34:15
I won't want to outdo him either, so.
34:16
I'll be your assistant for your trick, but I think I will also
34:19
be bringing my own to the table. Okay, well, I don't think
34:22
assistants do that, but. I mean, I think he's just magic.
34:26
I think he can do one of us the. Three of us have to win, so the
34:28
more of us that have a talent, the more likelihood.
34:32
That will win. You weren't talking about being
34:34
my assistant and then suddenly having a talent alongside me
34:37
that was better than my magic. OK, that's what I was afraid.
34:40
Of yes, I'll go first and then I'll be your assistant so that
34:43
your magic trick looks cooler than what I do.
34:46
And I got the great lady on my arm.
34:47
This will work perfect. I love it.
34:51
OK, goody. What about you?
34:52
Are you gonna participate in the magic?
34:54
Are you gonna do both? Sort of like Monty.
34:56
Well, I, I, I did, you know, I had to do a lot of his
34:59
extracurriculars to be, you know, the good.
35:02
So I didn't learn to sing. And he just goes into like an
35:13
Italian opera. Wow.
35:15
Italian opera, that's. Man, that's amazing.
35:18
Do I make you cry? He's just like my mom.
35:23
Okay, sweet. So we have, it sounds like 3
35:26
talents that we're submitting for this evenings talent show.
35:29
We've got the group of all three of you performing magic and some
35:34
accoutrement. We've got Monty bringing
35:38
something we'll find out about later and Goody singing.
35:43
Yep. I, I, I'm not telling Goody this
35:45
right now, but mentally I'm planning a big surprise for his
35:48
show. He's not, he's not going to
35:50
just, he's not going to be up alone out there.
35:51
He's going to go out with a bang, just like casino night.
35:54
Casino night went badly, but this time it's going to go good.
35:57
Less demolition, I think, and we'll be good.
35:58
Because there's no ulterior motive.
35:59
Last time I blew everything up so I could steal a bunch of
36:01
money. This time I'm just going to blow
36:03
everything up. Nobody will hate that at all.
36:04
To be like fireworks. Breakfast bell rings.
36:09
I hope you finished your food. Now you have some free time to
36:13
kill at camp so you can explore different areas of the grounds.
36:16
Though you have been told that the Lantern path is off limits,
36:20
you can practice your talents for the talent show or anything
36:23
else your troublemaking hearts desire.
36:26
What do you all want to do? Oh, interesting.
36:30
So assuming we all go up and sign up for these talents, you
36:32
just said OK, cool. So as we walk out, I think I'll
36:34
look toward Monty and be like, OK, so yeah, there's I saw a lot
36:39
of you looking at Brock. Earlier or whatever.
36:40
But you're the one that saw at 1st and yeah, I can, I can tell
36:43
something's going on between them.
36:44
They'd definitely be blinking or whatever, but does that matter?
36:50
I mean I guess the fire was bad but like.
36:52
They didn't 'cause it. We didn't get any snacks.
36:55
Well, we got those Nature Valley bars.
36:57
Thankfully, no ad. Yeah, just.
37:01
It's not the fact that they're sleeping together.
37:04
That's not a bad thing. You know, people can get their
37:06
rocks off the way that they want to, but.
37:08
Well after marriage. Right.
37:11
So that's interesting to know about you.
37:17
My body is a temple. I'm sorry if this isn't.
37:19
No, and I think you should respect it as such.
37:21
But we could use this to our advantage to win.
37:25
You know, if our talents don't blow them away the way we hope
37:27
it would, maybe a little bit of gentle blackmail might work.
37:32
Yes, also what is blinking? Well, so it's it's.
37:37
When two people love each other very much.
37:41
They don't have to, they just have to be married.
37:43
Right. So when two people are joined
37:46
legally in the state of law, they are allowed to rub their
37:53
parts together. Like elbows and stuff.
37:56
Elbows and stuff. Knees, ankles, toes.
37:59
Why? Why would you?
38:01
Why would you do that? It feels really good.
38:03
The elbows. Would you?
38:05
Would you want to rub elbows with me?
38:07
No, I would I I don't want to rub.
38:11
Elbows with you. But I think that we could use
38:16
this information for for our benefit.
38:19
Hey, good. Goody.
38:20
Come here. Come here.
38:20
Yeah. Good.
38:21
I I pull a very aside. Just a little bit.
38:23
Thank God. You you don't ask a woman about
38:25
her elbows. No elbows.
38:27
I told my mom that she needed to lose her elbows one time.
38:29
She smacked up about the head so, so hard I forgot where I
38:32
lived. I did hit my elbow once with
38:34
Bennett and I think they called it the the funny bone.
38:37
I boinked it real hard. I I I was boinking all day.
38:40
Yeah, yeah, that is. Sure, OK, I'm super down for the
38:43
boink black pail. OK, OK, Mission boink.
38:46
Blackmail. Great.
38:48
Boy Camille. My point is, pull them back
38:51
aside. My point is, I ain't no
38:53
gentleman right. You got manners and stuff.
38:56
You got big ideas. You.
38:57
If there's if there's anyone that Monty might like, it's you.
39:02
Well. I mean, I've never really hung
39:04
out with anybody. I really, I always just had to
39:06
get good grades. I had to do everything that my
39:07
mom and dad told me, and I'd really not really done anything.
39:10
Buddy, this is your shot, and I'm not going to get in the way
39:12
of that, OK? You might be a little man, but
39:14
you're a big man and I can tell. I can tell.
39:16
And so I just want to let you know I'm behind.
39:19
You, I will say. Could he use his lay them
39:20
pronouns? Yeah, yeah, you're right.
39:22
I'm sorry. First of all, I'm also an
39:24
insensitive bastard, so, you know, let me miss gender.
39:27
You do. I mean, I've been, I've been,
39:29
you know, called a lot of things.
39:31
I just, I, I chose they them because I don't really have no
39:33
idea of really what I am. I I really identify as, you
39:36
know, goody or Batty or shoes or no shoes.
39:40
And I haven't really thought a whole lot about elbows.
39:43
I did hear that they confirmed life life sustaining environment
39:47
on other planets this year. Wow.
39:50
I mean, anyway, for what that's worth.
39:52
I mean, I'm just, I'm not mentioning that anything in any
39:54
sort of related way at all. I mean, I could be from
39:57
somewhere else. My parents never really showed
39:59
me, you know, any baby pictures. Just any Superman was pretty
40:04
cool and he was from a different place.
40:06
I think I'm going to just start walking slowly behind both of
40:09
you. Just kind of like, like touching
40:11
my elbows. Be like.
40:11
I don't, I don't. It doesn't feel very good.
40:13
Oh. Suddenly you can feel that.
40:16
Like. Itchy and OK so where on campus
40:21
grounds do you guys decide to go?
40:23
What do you want to explore? Monty would head back to the
40:27
cabin to finish her morning routine, pull her curlers out,
40:31
put her day clothes on that are definitely not appropriate for a
40:35
camp, and get ready to schmooze with the counselors, I think.
40:41
Love it. OK.
40:42
That's so on point for your character.
40:45
Perfect. Do y'all stay together as a
40:47
group? Do you want to join Monty back
40:49
at the cabins? Freshen up a little bit and then
40:52
sort of head around the grounds to see if you can spy on some
40:56
counselors. Yeah, I think Batty is going to
41:00
find some privacy and walk with them all the way up to the cabin
41:04
and then find the tallest tree and I'm going to climb up to
41:06
that tree and you're just going to hear immediately going into
41:13
are you? Practicing.
41:13
Yeah, buddy, why don't you roll for sing?
41:16
Roll for sing. Yeah, and you've got.
41:17
Oh, you don't have sing yet? Not yet.
41:19
We'll. Do anything.
41:20
We'll do anything, yeah. That's a one.
41:23
You are struggling to climb up the tree.
41:25
Well, you've made it up the tree roll again.
41:28
OK, that's a 4, but I'm going to use two of my experience points
41:34
to make it a six. They've got sing, yes?
41:42
And that sing +22 Awesome. Amazing.
41:46
I think after Monty I'm trying to decide what she's wearing.
41:51
She's ditching the heels. They didn't quite work out last
41:54
night with the dirt and everything.
41:56
So now she's wearing her flats but they're like rhinestone
42:00
glitzy ass black flats, a pencil skirt and.
42:06
Brave. Pencil skirt and a boss.
42:09
A blouse. A silk blouse.
42:12
Yeah, wow. With like the ruffles?
42:13
In the front that like ruffle all the way down she's.
42:17
Trying to be confused for camp director or something.
42:20
Incredible. Yeah, A.
42:21
Clipboard or a little Finder around just hoping that you are
42:25
elude the rules. My father is going to hear about
42:28
everything that went down a second camp chance.
42:31
The second camp chance. Did I stutter?
42:33
Not even one bit. Why don't you roll Do anything?
42:36
We'll see how well you can pass this sort of disguise off.
42:39
Or like this outfit that's clearly more more mature and and
42:42
less appropriate than it should be for camp.
42:45
That's a 5, but I'm going to use an XP to make it a six.
42:48
What? Skill would you like that to be?
42:51
Yeah, my brain went first to imposter.
42:54
I like imposter. Disguise.
42:56
Yeah. I just realized I haven't really
42:58
described what Goody's wearing. Yeah, me either.
43:01
I I can see Joey. I.
43:02
Can just run a Joey. OK, what do I look to you?
43:05
You got a beat up leather jacket on, you got a band tee or a
43:08
white tee that is way too stained and a little bit drip
43:11
droopy in the neck. You got you got some sort of
43:13
gold chain or silver chain around your neck and you got
43:15
jeans on with steers with boots. OK.
43:17
Well, you're, you're a little bit off because I took most of
43:19
that off because it's a little bit warmer today and I'm wearing
43:22
my wife pleaser. You've.
43:25
Your wife pleaser. Yeah.
43:26
Well, I mean, what else are you going to call it?
43:28
No, I think that's an incredible thing to call it.
43:30
Yeah, yeah. Is that what your mom called it?
43:34
My mom says they remind her of my dad and she doesn't really
43:38
call him anything other than a old man's T-shirt.
43:41
She calls it, which doesn't really make sense because I say,
43:43
ma, it's not a T-shirt. And she says, yeah, but it makes
43:45
you look poor. I think I think anyone would
43:48
want to blink you while you're wearing the wife pleaser.
43:51
Thank you. Me, but any other woman.
43:54
Oh, OK. And she's going to have great
43:55
elbows. Yeah, OK.
43:57
OK. Oh, Alicia.
43:59
I think I'm in overalls. Oh yeah.
44:02
Wow, I. Have curly like orangish hair
44:06
and a lot of freckles and I think I also have like an
44:11
awkwardly fitting too big turtleneck underneath the
44:15
overalls. A turtleneck at camp.
44:17
It's that's brave. It's been a struggle.
44:19
I think you've been seeing goody sweat a lot.
44:20
Oh man, it's also the only offer that.
44:24
My God, goody I. Have some extra things that we
44:27
can use later I. Just had to pack all my shoes.
44:32
You don't even wear. At.
44:34
The time Monty would like to gather her band of her band and
44:41
and try to find the counselor cabin.
44:45
Let's do it. So the three of you are going to
44:47
sort of start sleuthing your way around around the grounds,
44:51
keeping an eye out for the counselor cabin.
44:53
Good news in that directory we mentioned earlier in the
44:56
handbook, you know that Cabin C is where the counselors.
44:59
Stay. OK, perfect.
45:01
So I don't know what we're looking for, but we're just
45:04
going to go see what we find. My mom says you look for bras or
45:09
panties. She caught my dad cheating like
45:12
I think 252627 times. That's besides the point.
45:17
Either way, if we're looking for relationship stuff, we should
45:20
look for undies. OK, we can definitely keep our
45:23
eyes peeled for undies. I think also if we go into it
45:25
with an open mind, we'll see what what is presented to us.
45:29
OK, so maybe not undies. It could be undies, it could be
45:33
something else. It was.
45:34
Good idea, it was good idea. Tell you what he told me about
45:36
it. The underwear.
45:38
Yeah, he said, I know. You said you looked at me and he
45:40
said I know that your mom cheats on your dad and that.
45:43
OK, Yeah. It was my mother does not wear
45:45
any underwear. OK, anyways, what were you
45:48
saying Monty? So we're approaching the cabin.
45:50
So I'm going to need, I need you to be like, I don't know, maybe.
45:53
I, I, I can figure something out.
45:55
I'm gonna I'm gonna try to go try a magic trick and I would
45:58
like to if I she. Was like, should we distract
46:01
them? And you're like, I'm gonna go
46:02
talk to him. Well, I I explained a plan where
46:06
I think I should practice. I'm gonna knock on the door and
46:08
when I'll make it real dramatic, like I'll be turned away from
46:10
and I'll foof my Cape and I'll disappear.
46:13
Perfect. And then they'll go looking for
46:15
you. Leave the cabin and Goody and I
46:17
can sneak in and look for things.
46:19
Exactly. OK, OK.
46:20
And I can practice on the way. That's perfect.
46:22
I'm going to climb the tree and watch.
46:24
Goody just climbs the tree and he's going to watch you.
46:26
That was part. Of the plan, but it.
46:28
Wasn't, but I think maybe they're best up in the tree.
46:30
OK, that's fair. OK, Goody has climbed a tree
46:33
near Cabin C. It sounds like Joey is preparing
46:36
to knock on the door with his Cape.
46:38
Yes, and Monty is planning to swoop in and sleuth after the
46:42
counselors leave the cabin looking for the Ding Dong
46:45
ditcher. Yes, solid plan, Goody Yes.
46:51
You wanna roll? Do anything to see how you get
46:53
up this tree. Yeah, I'd love to be in.
46:55
We can do the climb, but I'd also love to just like a
46:57
lookout, like not necessarily surveillance, but strictly like
47:00
alarm system. Love it.
47:01
Yeah. I can get up to A5, can't get to
47:05
A6. Make sure you give yourself one
47:06
XP. Nice, I try to climb the tree
47:09
and I realize that I need to take my shoes off and do it much
47:13
faster. Use those really grippy toes.
47:15
Let's see it so you have running without shoes.
47:17
Too without shoes, yes. So this is going to be a check
47:20
of A7. Nice.
47:25
There's A5 and A6. Amazing.
47:27
Are you going to use an XP to turn that into two sixes so that
47:30
you could develop a new skill? I absolutely am.
47:33
Good ear is going to get good ear.
47:34
OK, sweet. So it has to be related to
47:36
running without shoes because you're leveling up your running
47:39
without shoes skill. So if you can somehow make that
47:41
more specific or more related to trees or your toe grip strength
47:45
or anything like that, that's what we'll use.
47:47
OK, yeah, I think I have the exponential toe grip power of
47:52
being able to basically Sprint up the first half half of the
47:54
tree before I like bear hug it and then I scoot up.
47:58
Oh. My God.
47:59
OK, you've got toe grip 3 is. That what it's called now.
48:04
Well, I mean you can call it whatever you want.
48:05
I will probably refer to it as toe grip.
48:07
Do you change the running without shoes You'll.
48:10
Keep running without shoes too and you've gained one skill
48:14
better. You've improved upon that skill
48:16
to gain another skill. So you'll never delete a skill,
48:19
you'll add a new one that's more specific based on the 1 you use.
48:23
And that is +2. Three toe grip 3.
48:26
Thank you for walking me back. Yeah.
48:28
Wild. How exciting.
48:30
So booties up the tree. Yeah, like a mountain goat up
48:33
there, man. I mean, honestly, I didn't know
48:34
that I could do that. I just I've never really tried
48:36
to run up a tree that was that was easier than I thought it.
48:39
Would me neither believe it or not, but.
48:41
I'm still gonna sing for the talent show, but that was kind
48:43
of cool. We.
48:43
Definitely have a backup, that's for sure.
48:45
OK. Well, you guys are good enough
48:47
of things when bombs I can make are ones that I have to throw
48:50
out the window or give to somebody else, so.
48:53
Joey, I believe in you. You know what, sometimes I just
48:57
want to disappear, but this time I'm going to do it for good.
49:00
Or Juniper Rose. Sorry, who's that?
49:03
It's me That's that's the that's the flower that you.
49:06
Oh my. Juliet Rose.
49:07
Juliet. Yes, I'm so sorry.
49:10
Junipers are very very gorgeous though.
49:13
OK, well, you're a Juniper Rose. Yeah, I.
49:18
I can be whatever I want. That's just made-up, right?
49:21
I don't know if I've ever heard of a Juniper Rose.
49:23
Yeah, you can do. Anything you put your mind to?
49:27
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna disappear.
49:28
I'm gonna disappear and I'm gonna, I'm, I'm gonna go knock
49:30
on the door so, so heroically. And I've fashioned my leather
49:35
jacket, the scraps of it left by like attaching the sleeves and
49:40
to the bottom of the jacket so as to lengthen it a little bit
49:43
so it's like A1 sided Cape as I back up, turn my back to the
49:47
door and prepare to flare it and I think disappear hopefully.
49:52
I love it, let's see how it goes.
49:54
This sounds like street magic to me, so I'm going to have you
49:57
roll St. Magic 2 and we'll see how you
49:59
do. The check is also going to be a
50:01
seven. I assume by disappear you sort
50:03
of mean. Turn and run really quickly.
50:06
Yeah, I am a magic I. Don't know how St. magic works.
50:08
Can. I pour it on the cabin breaks
50:10
and we went through the porch. Can I?
50:12
Help on a branch with toe grip and hang from the branch and use
50:16
my toes to grip his shoulder sleeves and.
50:19
Lift. Him.
50:21
Hell yeah, you can. You sure can.
50:22
As I, as I imagine this moment of panic as I'm hearing the door
50:27
and like there's a voice on the other side as someone's just
50:30
taking too long to open the door or whatever.
50:32
I don't know what actually happens, but I've knocked and
50:34
I'm like sweating because I'm like, yeah, that that.
50:38
I mean, you said the power would just would just kick in and they
50:40
did. And now I'm not disappearing.
50:42
I'm not, I'm not. And then I just feel my goody.
50:45
Needs help and I run to the branch.
50:47
Amazing. You'll get plus one from Goody.
50:49
Amazing looking up to see goody. I'm just like, it really is
50:52
magic. That's just a couple of twos,
50:59
plus one is A5. You needed A7.
51:03
That's rough. That is rough.
51:05
I don't disappear. You don't disappear and a
51:08
counselor comes to the door and answers.
51:11
Where in my attempts to get out of there do they spot me?
51:14
Do I get up or can I can goody just not pull me up?
51:17
I imagine the door is opening before you've been pulled off
51:21
the ground. Okay, goody, we got this.
51:23
We got this is I'm just like kind of struggling.
51:25
I'm going to my tip toes. We're like, that's amazing
51:28
toaster. And then I and then I see the
51:30
counselor looking at me and I say, hey ladies.
51:32
This is a counselor you haven't met yet if there's a young
51:35
woman. I say, excuse me, miss, we're
51:37
practicing for the talent show. You're spoilers.
51:39
Could would you mind going around the corner if you're
51:41
going to leave? You.
51:42
Knocked. No, I'm practicing for my magic
51:47
show. Yes, it involved knocking, but I
51:48
didn't have anything else knocked on.
51:50
You're going to have to practice your talent somewhere else.
51:53
So OK, here's the thing. St.
51:54
Magic is done on the street. I can't really decide where it
51:57
happens. Is there something specific I
51:59
can help you with while you're trying to practice?
52:01
Well, my assistant is otherwise preoccupied right now, and I
52:04
would actually really, really love the use of an assistant.
52:07
I actually have AI have a contraption.
52:09
Don't freak out. But if you go inside of it, I'm
52:11
going to put swords into it. If I don't get you, then I I'm
52:14
magic. Are you hanging from my toes
52:17
right now? Soy side to side.
52:21
I'll give you a. Little bit of a sway.
52:23
That's pretty fucking weird, as is your your confidence that you
52:27
have this box ready. Although maybe you know you're
52:29
bluffing. For sure bluffing.
52:31
She says. How long is this gonna take?
52:33
OK, well we just got to go back to the cabin, my cabin and I'll,
52:37
I'll get the the supplies out of my cabin.
52:39
I'll set it up really quick and then I just need you to be my
52:42
assistant for about 5 minutes. She agrees.
52:45
She nods. She looks up at the toes on your
52:48
shoulders and she says what's going on here?
52:50
Yeah, Goody, would you mind putting me down?
52:52
I drop him. You do need help, don't you?
52:57
She agrees to come with you to try and help you practice for
52:59
the talent show. I mean, look at that.
53:01
I mean, this crazy kid is doing insane acrobatics and he's gonna
53:04
sink. Why should.
53:05
Sorry, that's a spoiler. You're gonna the talent show is
53:07
gonna be wild, lady. You're gonna love it.
53:09
Thank you for coming along. I could really use the help.
53:11
I've run like it looks like you've talking to yourself so
53:13
I'm like hiding behind the tree. Like is it working?
53:15
Do they like your elbows? Wait, me.
53:18
My elbows? Yeah, always, because.
53:23
There it is. There it is.
53:25
I look at Goodie with like shock in my eyes as they widen as like
53:28
my elbow bumps hers and I'm just like, fully not knowing how sex
53:33
works. Good.
53:36
I'm not married. We're not married.
53:38
I hope you don't think she thinks that right.
53:41
I mean, I think you're in trouble.
53:42
I think you need to get married soon, otherwise you're gonna be
53:44
real trouble with your mom. I think she can definitely hear
53:46
you. She's becoming less confident
53:48
about joining you to I'm sorry. To help.
53:52
Goodie, I don't have time to think about this right now.
53:55
I have magic to learn and I take my counselor away and I and I
53:59
lead the counselor away. Amazing.
54:00
She steps off with you and then we will return to see what
54:03
Monty's up to. Yeah, I think Monty wants to
54:05
slip inside the door. Like just walk up and walk into
54:09
the cabin hoping that no one's in there.
54:11
You enter the cabin and they're sort of like a vestibule do hear
54:15
more people talking in the cabin so they can't see you but you're
54:17
able to overhear them. And you're actually hearing 2
54:20
counselors talk to each other. One of them says, I think the
54:24
Lantern path is all set for tonight.
54:26
It's getting harder and harder to tell every year.
54:29
They're way more unpredictable than they used to be.
54:32
And the other counselor responds and says at this point it's more
54:36
about motivating these losers to shape up.
54:38
Who cares if the lanterns even work anymore?
54:41
At least they'll be scared straight, right?
54:43
These people have no idea how to host a proper party.
54:47
Can she roll for surveillance to see if she can tell who the
54:50
counselors are? Sure.
54:52
Yeah. You have surveillance 3.
54:53
This check is going to be a 10. I think baddie is just leaning
54:59
over like looking through the door for the big guys.
55:02
I rolled A-14. Well done you.
55:04
Recognize one of the voices as Lottie, She's having some
55:07
recharge time in her cabin. And the other voice you maybe
55:12
recognize from intake day, maybe you saw him around.
55:15
It's the groundskeeper. His name is Judd.
55:17
So Judd, the groundskeeper, the grounds crew, the gentleman is
55:21
the one who said that the Lantern path is all set for
55:24
tonight, but that it's getting harder and harder to tell every
55:26
year because the lanterns have been more unpredictable than
55:29
they used to be. OK.
55:32
Some high level Intel. Oh my gosh, great role.
55:37
Hey, Patrice, it's Monty. Duh.
55:39
Stole the counselor's phone to send you a quick voice memo.
55:41
I'm hearing whispers at camp about this new thing, and I
55:44
think we should get in on the ground floor.
55:46
I need you to Google something for me because of course, this
55:48
dump of a campground is stuck in 3G.
55:50
OK, shit. I hear them coming.
55:51
I have to be quick. It's called dice eyes.com.
55:54
It sounds like there's even an exclusive membership.
55:56
And you know how I feel about exclusivity.
55:58
We're talking bonus episodes, talkbacks, and you know, I love
56:01
the tea. My social senses are telling me
56:03
that this is going to be viral soon.
56:04
Daddy is definitely going to want to invest in this again.
56:07
It's DICESIZE. d.com. OK, They're back.
56:10
XOXO. Mr. Pancakes.
56:11
Bye. Monty, Monty, did you see
56:14
anything goody? OK.
56:17
She just steps back outside the cabin and starts walking back
56:19
towards their cabin. Wait, wait, wait for me.
56:23
I'm just not following social cues.
56:25
So I just see you walk past me and I'm like, oh, we're leaving,
56:26
OK. But wait.
56:29
So goody apparently. These.
56:32
Lantern. Yeah, the good ones.
56:35
Apparently they're unpredictable, like if they're
56:38
gonna work or not. Can you believe that they're
56:40
putting on this whole talent show and they're giving us a
56:43
reward of walking down the stupid Lantern path and it might
56:45
not even be lit? You mean like how magic doesn't
56:48
work sometimes? Or is it?
56:49
Exactly. But what makes them
56:51
unpredictable? Right.
56:53
I mean, did you hear anything else?
56:55
Well, just something about how the point is just to scare us
56:58
straight and that it doesn't matter if they work or not.
57:00
Which I think is ridiculous, because either way, if you're
57:02
hosting a party, everything needs to go right.
57:05
I mean, lanterns are beautiful, why would they be scary?
57:07
That is a really good point that I hadn't thought of before.
57:10
Why are the lanterns going to be scary?
57:13
Why is it a prize if it's scary? I think we need to check this
57:16
path out. I know they said we can't, but
57:19
what are they going to do? Stop us.
57:20
Should we go get Joey? Yeah, Yeah.
57:23
That was yeah. He might be just to save the
57:25
counselor at this point. It comes.
57:27
The Sword Lady watch. Out.
57:30
Watch out upon seeing that you have no sword boxes.
57:35
Excuse me? I told her that along the way
57:37
and I said I'm practicing because it's it's gonna be
57:39
delivered later today. Ordered it.
57:41
Sheep. Ordered it, ordered it, but for
57:45
now. I.
57:46
She's not waiting around. I said at the do what good news
57:49
though. I stab into it and I'm just
57:51
like, oh God, I thought that you're gone and I see her
57:55
walking away in the distance. Okay, okay, you.
57:57
Lost her. Sorry lady.
58:01
I'm Joey. Sorry, I gotta put these canoes
58:04
back. You guys might have to meet up.
58:06
Did you guys get married? Well, so The thing is.
58:08
Monty Joe is in trouble. He knocked elbows with the
58:11
counselor. My mom said no blinking before I
58:13
was married and I think that's the start of blinking.
58:16
You blink elbows, you blink. You blink not, you blink knees
58:20
and you boink noses and and yeah, but.
58:22
I mean, you have to, you have to boink a little bit of elbows
58:26
before you get married just to know that the elbows fit right.
58:30
OK, well, I mean so. I don't think it's a bad thing.
58:32
I think it's really casual and you don't have to worry about it
58:35
or get married or anything to rectify it.
58:37
Well it it hurt pretty bad and my my arm went numb so.
58:40
Yeah, she's not a good fit. I don't think you need to marry
58:42
her. I think we can just remove on
58:44
from this. You don't have to worry about
58:46
it. You don't need to get checked or
58:47
anything. You'll be fine anyways.
58:49
How'd you how'd the reconnaissance go?
58:52
Oh, my God. So good.
58:53
So Lottie was there. And Judd that like, weird.
58:56
Like, you know, he like, fixes things around.
58:58
I don't know. We met him on intake day.
59:00
Jug Judd with AD. Yeah, that's what I said.
59:05
They were talking about how the lanterns are unpredictable and
59:09
that they might not work, which I think, again, I was telling
59:11
Goody is ridiculous. Like, why even offer it as a
59:13
prize if it's not going to be a real thing?
59:15
And. They said it was going to be
59:16
scary. Well, they said the point is to
59:18
just scare us straight, so. Lantern not scary.
59:22
Lantern be scary, beautiful, beautiful.
59:25
So I think we should go investigate.
59:27
I love the soft flickering light on the Lantern in the middle of
59:30
the night, I mean. It's supposed to be a prize, but
59:32
they said it was bad. Now that you guys have migrated
59:35
over towards the water sports area, you're around a new group
59:38
of campers and you're actually going to overhear another
59:41
conversation happening. So you're you, you're sort of
59:45
bickering is interrupted by two campers getting heated.
59:48
As one says to the other, my sister was a camper here five
59:51
years ago and she said her walk down the Lantern path was
59:53
literally life changing and so peaceful.
59:57
Honestly, she came back acting like a totally different person.
1:00:00
She was actually nice to me for like an entire week.
1:00:04
And the other camper says, really?
1:00:07
My brother was here just last year and said it was horrifying.
1:00:11
He felt tricked, like it was fun for a few minutes and then got
1:00:14
so scary that he couldn't even talk about it when he got home.
1:00:18
Do you guys hear that? Monta, I think I'm hearing with
1:00:20
your ears right now. I don't normally care about
1:00:22
other people's conversations, but.
1:00:24
Something is up with these lanterns, and I think we could
1:00:27
either investigate or keep practicing our talents to make
1:00:30
sure that we win to find out, but either way, there's
1:00:34
something fishy going on here. I, I think it's like, I don't
1:00:37
know, maybe if you're good you see good and if you're bad, you
1:00:41
see bad. I got to keep my shoes on.
1:00:44
Am I on the good list or the bad list?
1:00:46
Am I good person? I mean, you have your shoes on,
1:00:50
you're fine. I'm the one who takes their
1:00:52
shoes off all the time and breaks.
1:00:53
Bad. I got steel toe boots on.
1:00:54
You're right, I don't. Normally I don't.
1:00:56
Sometimes I don't even remember to take them off before bed.
1:00:58
Can't break bad nose. I mean, Joey, will you, will you
1:01:01
make sure that if I go bad during the lanterns, will you,
1:01:06
will you make sure I don't run anywhere like really far?
1:01:12
Here's the thing, this is what my dad would used to say when
1:01:15
whenever I I had to stay at his place.
1:01:17
He also loved lanterns. He was a Lantern aficionado.
1:01:19
I could say, because every time we go over there, there was one
1:01:22
in the middle of the, the living room and he'd say it's a
1:01:25
fireplace, it's a campfire, campfire.
1:01:27
We're camping tonight. We're not going to the bell.
1:01:29
We're not going to the ball game.
1:01:30
We're camping tonight. Why would we leave?
1:01:32
Landon's was just very exciting for us because we gathered
1:01:34
around the Lantern for the night and then we wouldn't go do the
1:01:37
thing that he said that he we were going to go do that night.
1:01:39
Like, you know, I, one time I went, I gathered around Orlando
1:01:42
when I was supposed to go to NASA because I really liked
1:01:44
rockets. But no, the, the Lantern was
1:01:46
really nice though. That night.
1:01:47
He had some some little construction paper.
1:01:51
We roll to. Anything one we're going to see
1:01:52
if you can roll for storytelling.
1:01:55
I mean, yeah. I mean, we, when we had lanterns
1:01:58
on it, it just meant that we didn't pay the power bill.
1:02:01
I mean, my, my dad said that it was to immerse our imaginations,
1:02:05
which I really appreciate because I we, we tell stories
1:02:08
all night and it actually gets really sweet at this point into
1:02:11
turning from a sad story to like the a dad who like spent, he
1:02:14
didn't have money. He would just make big, grand,
1:02:16
like promises. And you can tell from that story
1:02:19
that it was a dad with good intentions.
1:02:21
But obviously on the surface, it's like this kid got conned.
1:02:26
Record player with trombone music.
1:02:28
I want one. Just kidding, that's a 5 plus an
1:02:31
XP. I'll bump that to 6.
1:02:34
All righty, what would you like this skill to be?
1:02:36
Ollie will either go for storytelling or, I mean, this
1:02:39
feels like a con. I feel like I'm conning this.
1:02:41
Starting to con. I yeah, otherwise this.
1:02:44
Isn't a true story. This is like.
1:02:46
Well, no, it is a true story, but I think.
1:02:49
You're emotionally manipulating a little bit.
1:02:51
Yeah, I'm realizing that I I also have questions about the
1:02:54
lanterns. I don't know whether they're
1:02:55
good or bad. I just look towards goody and
1:02:56
I'm like, am IA good person or a bad person?
1:02:58
Am I gonna have a nice time on the Lantern path or a terrible
1:03:01
time? I'll let you call this.
1:03:02
Con. Let's fully redirect and
1:03:05
emotionally manipulate my friends so I don't have to
1:03:07
answer those questions. Sure.
1:03:08
OK cool. Yeah, I think I that's a con 2
1:03:12
for me. That con 2 finally, I think you
1:03:14
first rolled for that in session 0, so this is cool gratifying.
1:03:17
I'm sure as you guys are chatting, you're realizing that
1:03:20
the the daytime, this free time chunk is starting to pass you
1:03:23
by. So I would say that you each
1:03:25
have some time to level up some talents as you mentioned.
1:03:29
I would allow you each to choose like an action or RP your way
1:03:33
through like something you could do to practice a talent and have
1:03:37
3 roles to try and level something up.
1:03:39
Whoa. Huge.
1:03:41
Huge. Goody is going to really be
1:03:45
struggling with singing and walking around and pacing and
1:03:49
like, I can't get the right I'm sure and I just, I have to do
1:03:54
it. I'm going to take my shoes off
1:03:56
and I'm going to run and sing at the same time.
1:03:59
Aw, that's. Sweet, the Sound of Music
1:04:01
leaping through joyously. OK, here's what I'm going to
1:04:04
allow you to do. You have toe grip 3, but sing 2.
1:04:07
I'm going to allow you to roll 3 dice and if two of them are
1:04:12
sixes, you can level up your sing skill.
1:04:15
Oh cool, that's A1A2 and A4. Bummer.
1:04:20
So I did say you could each have 3 attempts, so I will let you
1:04:23
roll 2 dice two more times. It's.
1:04:29
A4 and A2. Give it another go.
1:04:34
It's A2 and A2. Damn, I mean a lot of XP though,
1:04:38
that's cool. Yeah, I think I'm.
1:04:39
I'm like kind of embarrassing myself in front of the other
1:04:41
campers if. You never try.
1:04:43
You'll never know. Hey.
1:04:44
Good, good. I've never heard that one.
1:04:45
What is that 10 the? The song I'm practicing, yeah.
1:04:48
Is that great? Is that the Gregory chant?
1:04:51
How did you know? I got it right.
1:04:54
How did? How did you know?
1:04:55
The throat singing that the the the the Gregory's do.
1:04:58
I mean I was trying. It's amazing.
1:04:59
I, I can't, I, I know that you, it's, it's not quite there yet,
1:05:02
but I think you were singing with two voices for a moment.
1:05:04
It was really disturbing. Make sure you mark down three XP
1:05:08
for three. It's sad to call them failed
1:05:10
roles, but not quite successful. Roles.
1:05:13
I have 7 XPI got to use them. Oh, that's great.
1:05:16
Does anyone else want to practice a talent OR skill?
1:05:19
Can I try to? Level up surveillance.
1:05:21
Absolutely. What are you going to do to do
1:05:22
that? I'm trying to.
1:05:25
I had the skill appraisal because I want Monty's talent to
1:05:29
be her letting you know how much she thinks you paid for your
1:05:34
outfit or something that you own.
1:05:36
Awesome. Love it like.
1:05:38
Inverse price is right game show hosting.
1:05:41
Fuck yeah. OK.
1:05:42
So is such like a fucked up like skill like?
1:05:44
That's so cunty, Maya. It's such a great like response
1:05:47
to like, you know, imagining a comedian and hecklers and stuff.
1:05:50
Just calling out people's dollar amount.
1:05:52
Yeah, well you paid $7.00 for those shoes, so.
1:05:55
And by the Pilling on the leggings, I can tell you got
1:05:57
them secondhand. Yeah.
1:05:59
I'm thinking about like the extension of this, which is like
1:06:01
the people that decide how much lives are worth like after
1:06:04
catastrophes and like. Ensures that like.
1:06:06
Monty is the type that could be like, I mean, she was wearing
1:06:09
Prada. That's like an extra grand on
1:06:11
that families, you know? Because they invested that
1:06:16
they're gonna take really good care of their stuff.
1:06:18
Yeah, it's gonna come back into the community within 10 to 25.
1:06:21
OK, hopefully not in a goodwill. OK, Monty has Surveillance 3, so
1:06:26
you'll have three chances to roll these dice and see if you
1:06:29
can level this up. Roll all three.
1:06:32
You'll roll all three three times.
1:06:34
The goal would be boom, first time you level it up to 4.
1:06:37
Then you could roll two more times to continue trying to
1:06:39
level up. OK.
1:06:42
OK so my first roll I got 1-6 but I need 2 sixes in one roll.
1:06:47
You would need 3 sixes. I gave Goody an exception
1:06:50
because they were using their toe grip skill to sort of
1:06:54
enhance their singing. So instead of rolling to die, I
1:06:58
allowed them to roll 3 for the first roll.
1:07:01
Since you're not using another skill to work on your
1:07:03
surveillance and surveillance is your highest roll, I was just
1:07:06
letting you roll all three. I do have enough XP to make it
1:07:09
all three sixes, or I do have two more rolls.
1:07:11
You do. It's a gamble.
1:07:13
That is a really great gamble. Can you farm like farm like
1:07:16
refarm certain dice? Like did you roll A5 or anything
1:07:19
that you might keep because it's high?
1:07:21
I rolled A6 and A5 and A3. I would let you farm these dice
1:07:24
so if you want to keep the six, you could roll the other two.
1:07:26
That's going to count as your second roll, OK.
1:07:30
Two fours, though I could still level up if I wanted to.
1:07:35
I'm going for it y'all. A5 and A6 so I only have to use
1:07:42
one XP. Wow 2.
1:07:44
Incredible level up Surveillance 2.
1:07:46
Appraisal 4. Yes.
1:07:48
Oh my God, Appraisal 4. That's badass.
1:07:52
I really feel like Monty can just like, look right through
1:07:54
me. Wow.
1:07:55
The thing is, yes, she looks at me and I feel things I've never
1:07:59
felt before, but the the other thing is that I feel like I'm
1:08:03
dying when. She looks at you.
1:08:05
Yeah, I mean. The devil does wear Prada.
1:08:11
And the eye, the eye contact is just so intense.
1:08:13
I feel like she's drilling eyes drew me to the point where I see
1:08:17
my own soul and that that's just not always so pretty.
1:08:21
Wow. That's that is.
1:08:23
Deep that's a lot, lot deeper than I expected they.
1:08:26
Say the eyes are the windows of the sole and I don't know about
1:08:28
that, but there there's definitely a basement somewhere
1:08:30
in here and I'm I'm stuck in it. I was just thinking that she was
1:08:33
like guessing where my clothes came from, but that sounds you
1:08:37
want to talk about this like around the campfire or?
1:08:41
Yeah, yeah, I think Monty like knows more about my MA issues
1:08:44
than I. I have ma.
1:08:46
Issues. I've.
1:08:47
Never thought. 17 year old boy. I'm 19.
1:08:50
Excuse me, I mean. Typical super senior Super
1:08:56
senior behavior. What's the opposite of
1:08:58
emancipated? Mama's boy.
1:09:00
OK, yeah, that's what I am. Hitting on the counselors,
1:09:03
touching their elbows. All right, Joey, is there
1:09:06
anything you would like to roll for to try and level up some
1:09:09
skills or a skill for the talent show?
1:09:11
The the The thing is, I I think I would like to to roll for
1:09:17
either Razzle Dazzle or Grand Finale.
1:09:20
You're trying to level up your magic skill.
1:09:22
I'm trying to level up. Not only that, I'm trying to
1:09:23
level up demolitions and my magic skill.
1:09:26
That's a tall order. Well, rather rather OK here
1:09:30
we're. Trying to combine them.
1:09:32
Yes, it's similar to how toll grip and singing apparently are
1:09:37
really really good at enhancing one another.
1:09:39
I thought I St. Magic and Demolitions could also
1:09:41
do that. Well, so here's The thing is St.
1:09:45
Magic you have two, and Demolitions you have two.
1:09:47
Yeah. So the reason I allowed Goody to
1:09:49
roll three die? That's.
1:09:52
Fair is because Goody has. +3 to.
1:09:55
Toe grip 3. That's and was relying on the
1:09:58
joy and whimsy of skipping through the fields barefoot to
1:10:01
sing. I'm joy and I'm whimsy.
1:10:04
You can roll. You can.
1:10:05
Roll. You can roll Demolition.
1:10:08
You can roll Demolition 2 or Magic.
1:10:11
Two, I'm a nightmare player. Try try to level up your magic
1:10:15
or demolition skill. You can roll 3 times.
1:10:18
I'd like to try to level up my. Just roll your dice, Joey.
1:10:22
OK. It's too die either way my love.
1:10:27
Hey, that's a six and a one, so I'm not gonna be able to do
1:10:31
that. You get to roll them three
1:10:33
times. Oh, that's all right.
1:10:34
That's all right. Let me.
1:10:35
Confirm your 6. That's a two that time.
1:10:37
That's not good. That's a 5 and I'll use one of
1:10:40
my XB points to bump that up to a six.
1:10:42
So that's a 2 sixes for ya. Incredible.
1:10:46
So what would you like to name this new skill?
1:10:48
I'd like it to be up to up to your.
1:10:50
I'll give you multiple choice. Would you like it to be a razzle
1:10:54
dazzle? Yes.
1:10:55
B Pyrotechnics. Yes.
1:10:58
C Grand Finale. Definitely yes.
1:11:02
Which of which of the? 3 Razzle dazzle pyrotechnics
1:11:05
grand finale. OK, that's what it is.
1:11:06
Razzle dazzle. Pyrotechnic grand finale.
1:11:08
RDPG F3 Razzle Dazzle, Pyrotechnics Grand finale 3
1:11:17
Goody I didn't institute the farming rule when you were
1:11:21
rolling your dice. Would you like to try one or two
1:11:24
more times to level something up?
1:11:26
Sure, I'm going to feel this other spot in my my voice and
1:11:29
I'm going to harmonize myself accidentally.
1:11:32
Amazing. OK, so you're rolling for Sting.
1:11:34
OK, so you're 2 die, two die. That's a six and a three, and
1:11:39
I'll roll one more time. Or do it you can farm, yeah.
1:11:44
Shouldn't done that. Uno mas shouldn't.
1:11:49
It literally didn't roll. I threw this out of my hand and
1:11:52
it landed like that in a little No, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna use
1:11:55
a bunch of XP OK, and I'm gonna use 5 XP points to Mongolian
1:11:59
throat sing Hell yeah we're. Gonna win this damn thing.
1:12:05
That's what he sounds like. See.
1:12:06
See, I told you before it was disturbing.
1:12:08
Right now, almost in a pleasant way.
1:12:10
I feel as if my bowels are responding to what you're
1:12:14
saying. Your bowels?
1:12:17
Yeah. Normally I drink a cup of
1:12:18
coffee, but they don't have any coffee in the in the in the
1:12:20
lunch room this morning. Joey, what did you drink?
1:12:23
I didn't drink anything. That's the point.
1:12:24
I've been constipated. But right now I'm feeling like I
1:12:26
could go. I could go take a take a couple
1:12:28
pounds off, you know what I mean?
1:12:29
Speaking of a potty break, you guys are realizing that the
1:12:34
talent show is quickly approaching and today lunch and
1:12:37
the talent show are going to be a combined affair.
1:12:40
So you're going to choose your bagged lunch and take your seats
1:12:43
in the Amphitheatre. Here are your options.
1:12:47
A Turkey sub with apple slices, APB and J with baby care, or a
1:12:51
Caesar salad wrap with grapes. Which would you like?
1:12:57
I think Goody is going to try to grab more than one bag.
1:13:02
You have to sort of like speak your option to the.
1:13:06
To the cafeteria. Ladies, and they'll hand you
1:13:08
with what you ask. OK, I'll take the Caesar wrap
1:13:11
with grapes. OK.
1:13:12
Goody, don't you worry about it. Can I roll?
1:13:16
Can I roll? Razzle dazzle pryotech.
1:13:17
Just grand finale to or perhaps St.
1:13:20
Magic I guess, if I if I must. To do what?
1:13:24
To get goody 2 bags. You're just going to give them
1:13:27
yours? That's the magic trick.
1:13:29
Well, maybe if I fail that will be the magic trick.
1:13:32
Yeah, you can roll Razzle Dazzle Pyrotechnic Grand Finale 3I.
1:13:36
Think I might just call it razzle dazzle.
1:13:38
Your check is going to be 12. OK, Dang, that's a snake.
1:13:46
Dang. What do you?
1:13:47
Choose. I Well, my mom says that
1:13:50
protein's important, but I. They've all got protein.
1:13:54
Yeah, I'm I'm allergic to nuts, but I love peanut butter.
1:13:57
Well. That would be a less advisable
1:14:00
choice. Well, it's the only one that's
1:14:01
uncrustable. My my mom knows I hate crust and
1:14:04
the Turkey sandwich I crust on so and the the.
1:14:06
The Caesar salad is a wrap. Mom would be proud if I had the
1:14:09
Caesar wrap. I should try the Caesar wrap.
1:14:11
The Caesar wrap. Perfect.
1:14:14
I'll have the Caesar wrap please.
1:14:17
Three Caesar wraps. The closest thing I'm going to
1:14:19
get to a signature salad here, I guess.
1:14:21
Yeah, anyway, which one are carrots?
1:14:23
PB and J with. Baby, that one because I love
1:14:25
carrots. You're.
1:14:26
Allergic to pea? That'll be fine.
1:14:27
That'll be fine. Not.
1:14:28
That bad? So sorry, your file here says
1:14:30
you're allergic. To no I'm not that, I just don't
1:14:32
like them so I tell people I'm allergic.
1:14:35
All right, do you want a PB and J?
1:14:37
With baby carrots. Yes, please.
1:14:38
OK. Thank you.
1:14:40
So severely allergic, guys, you're gonna have to stab me
1:14:42
with this EpiPen in a moment. But Oh my fucking dog, don't.
1:14:45
Get a chance very often from home.
1:14:46
I'm away from home. Can you do like the EpiPen
1:14:48
before you eat I? Don't think so that would be
1:14:51
that would be a wild rush, but I don't think so.
1:14:54
It would be such a wild rush. Like you like you.
1:14:59
Should EpiPen like maybe you? Should totally get a skill for
1:15:02
your EpiPen. Oh, OK.
1:15:04
Let me tell you what each of you gets with your lunch first.
1:15:06
So if you chose the Caesar wrap with grapes, you get one
1:15:10
instance where you can roll with advantage.
1:15:14
You don't get that one No Joey, because you chose the PB and J
1:15:17
with baby carrots, which will allow you to in one instance
1:15:21
reroll one of your dice. Whoa.
1:15:23
Okay, farming dice is just as nice.
1:15:26
Yeah, single farming. Yeah, single use.
1:15:28
And when we were farming just moments ago, that was for your
1:15:32
leveling up your your talents for the talent show.
1:15:35
We were doing some rapid fire skills trials.
1:15:38
So farming won't be permitted moving forward.
1:15:42
Fine. Sorry, OK.
1:15:44
You sit down in the amphitheater with your lunch, and the first
1:15:49
few students and fellow campers start to take the stage.
1:15:53
You look on in horror as your fellow campers phone in talents
1:16:00
like juggling, stand up comedy, interpretive dance, graffiti,
1:16:06
animal impressions you. Name it maybe?
1:16:10
These kids are talentless, or maybe they're just unmotivated.
1:16:12
But after a few loud boos and several sandwich scraps thrown
1:16:16
at the stage, it is finally your turn.
1:16:20
Which of you is going first? I can't tell if I'm nervous or
1:16:23
if my throat's closing up. Can you tell me?
1:16:25
Just stab me with every pet I'm. Definitely nervous.
1:16:28
Oh, did you need this? I can't.
1:16:31
Can you understand him? I I think you should stab him
1:16:33
with it. Stab him with what?
1:16:35
The the EpiPen, the. EpiPen.
1:16:36
Yeah, he needs it right now, Yeah.
1:16:39
Joy like like now, could. He stab him in the leg, I stab
1:16:44
him. Whoa.
1:16:46
Wow. Are you ready to do magic?
1:16:48
I I I I I am magic. I actually I I just realized I
1:16:52
did you. Just came back from the dead
1:16:53
basically. Why do you roll for that?
1:16:55
Coming back from the dead. No, they get.
1:16:59
Slipperies. Made roll for Happy bang with
1:17:05
the help action. Off of do off of do anything one
1:17:08
or is that that felt like a little bit of razzle dazzle.
1:17:11
That is, do anything. I love that Rob as as aimed for
1:17:16
role for magic and role for reincarnation.
1:17:20
You're going. To win this goddamn talent show
1:17:22
you. Got a flexible system?
1:17:25
You got to swing for the fences? That's a one baby only.
1:17:31
You could roll with advantage. Sorry, you can't.
1:17:34
What can you do? Though I can re roll one die,
1:17:39
I'll save that for now. OK, your EpiPen is successful.
1:17:43
My EpiPen is successful with a well I.
1:17:45
Mean you don't die. Your EpiPen was successful in
1:17:48
reviving you, but you like didn't have the wherewithal to
1:17:50
observe goody as they used it on your leg or wherever you ended
1:17:55
up getting shot and that was your last EpiPen.
1:17:58
I so I unfortunately could not memorize the chemical formula as
1:18:02
it was injected within me and I would assume remake it from bees
1:18:07
because I would imagine that every pens for some reason
1:18:10
because bee sting and that that stung like a bitch.
1:18:13
Excuse my language miss. And ANYWAYS, I'm feeling like
1:18:17
the most alive and clever I've ever felt in my entire life.
1:18:21
Ask me anything. Ask me any math questions.
1:18:23
You should get out on stage I. Should go first are.
1:18:26
You ready for magic? But no, you said, you said you
1:18:28
wanted to lead off. I don't want ladies first.
1:18:31
OK, yeah, but. Know that I'm buzzing for you.
1:18:34
OK, I don't know why I imagined Joey like popping up and saying
1:18:37
that whole spiel off the wrong direction.
1:18:41
Joey, we're we're over here. He's profusely swatted.
1:18:44
I think Goody can probably see that.
1:18:46
Joey could probably use a second to come down from the the FB
1:18:51
more than going. I don't know, maybe going on
1:18:52
stage could be helpful, but I think a second to calm down
1:18:55
wouldn't hurt. Monty, do you want me to sing?
1:18:57
Please, you're going to do great.
1:19:00
And remember, not all of us can win.
1:19:02
It only needs to be one of us. And I think it's going to be
1:19:05
you, Goody. Should I?
1:19:06
Should I keep my shoes on? Yes, it's so hard to sing with
1:19:10
my shoes on. Oh right, you were practicing
1:19:12
earlier. Well, you had one shoe on.
1:19:15
You think 1 shoe like half bad half Batty?
1:19:19
Half Batty, I think. Half Batty.
1:19:21
Yeah, I'm going to take my left shoe off and I'm going to walk
1:19:24
up in the middle. Onto the stage.
1:19:25
Onto the stage and I'm going to turn and then in in Goody's
1:19:30
head, I think the spotlight hits, everything dims, it gets
1:19:34
quiet. There's a centricity about how I
1:19:37
feel and I'm connected and you're here.
1:19:46
But I am bad. I might find you there waiting
1:19:56
to be mad. But I promise in the end of my
1:20:02
camper friends, we'll leave this place together and.
1:20:15
Yeah, and it's gonna be a full on musical display, like more
1:20:19
than the opera. I'm gonna go on to like a full
1:20:21
like Hamilton. Stomping your feet, clapping,
1:20:24
hitting. Ever put your body?
1:20:25
Making a beat. I would like to help with what I
1:20:27
got this skill for Razzle dazzle pyrotactic grand finale.
1:20:31
It's coming early but I I needed it to be there for my buddy
1:20:35
goodie and I use this raging adrenaline through my veins to
1:20:39
make as many sparkly explosive explode behind them as possible.
1:20:44
That is amazing. Let me first tell you the
1:20:46
mechanics. How this is going to work is
1:20:48
each time 1 of you gets up on stage to do your talent, you're
1:20:51
going to have three tries to roll your skill and we're going
1:20:55
to tell you how many sixes you get.
1:20:58
Goody. I noticed that that didn't sound
1:20:59
very much like Mongolian throat singing to me.
1:21:02
No, but I used the Mongolian technique to have a backing
1:21:05
harmony to the entire thing. Yeah, that's the loop.
1:21:08
He looped that part. There's loop at a long stage.
1:21:12
OK, we'll allow it. So here's how this is gonna
1:21:14
work. Since you have Mongolian Throat
1:21:16
Singing three, you're gonna have three tries to roll 3 dice and
1:21:21
we'll tally up how many sixes you have because Joey is helping
1:21:26
you out with Razzle Dazzle Pyrotechnics Grand Finale.
1:21:31
You're going to get one extra dice to roll, so you'll you'll
1:21:34
roll 36910 times and we'll see how many of those are sixes for
1:21:39
you. Wow, did you hand me some dice?
1:21:43
So cool. And we're only counting sixes
1:21:45
here, sort of like the Havoc engine rule system that we
1:21:48
recently used in beat the Right. How many sixes do we have Goody?
1:21:56
Two sixes Nice. Are there any ways that I can
1:21:59
use experience points here or no?
1:22:01
No. Dang, OK.
1:22:03
I'm so sorry that's none of you will be able to use experience
1:22:05
points. That's OK.
1:22:06
I mean, this is a moment that we're not trying to level things
1:22:08
up. We're trying to show our best
1:22:10
thing that we've ever gotten. Exactly.
1:22:12
Thanks for understanding. Absolutely.
1:22:13
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
1:22:14
Way to go. I think that was a phenomenal
1:22:16
performance though, Goody, I think you did great and you get
1:22:19
a lot of applause, especially having gone right after, like a
1:22:23
really garbage performance by someone who just wanted to give
1:22:27
their best elephant impression. It was bad.
1:22:31
I immediately just run off stage when I'm done and sit down.
1:22:35
He's pooped the people pooped the people loved it.
1:22:38
Really. I I I I loved it.
1:22:40
I blacked out when I took my shoe off.
1:22:42
I would hire you for one of my parties.
1:22:43
Really. Mm hmm.
1:22:45
That's what that that's where like people are.
1:22:47
I'm gonna have my guy e-mail your guy and then we'll set
1:22:51
something up. I I don't have a guy.
1:22:54
Just pretend you have a guy so you seem cooler.
1:22:57
OK, your guy can call my. Yeah.
1:23:01
OK. Yeah, Guy.
1:23:05
Who's going to take the stage next?
1:23:07
Monty, I got a feeling that you're going to be amazing, at
1:23:10
most the most beautiful. Juliet rose beyond belief.
1:23:12
So I I got to say I I think I should go next.
1:23:16
OK, Yeah, what? I'm your assistant.
1:23:19
Are we helping with you? Maybe she should go next because
1:23:22
we'll all be on stage for her. The mechanics don't matter.
1:23:26
It's summer camp, I forgot. Here's the thing, I'm abandoning
1:23:29
the plan. I don't need an assistant on
1:23:31
this one. I got to do this solo.
1:23:33
OK. I believe that my my dad, his
1:23:36
his blood is in my blood and because of that I think I'm
1:23:40
going to go for a more mentalist route.
1:23:43
OK. And you think you're going to do
1:23:46
that with Razzle Dazzle pyrotechnical grand finale?
1:23:49
Bitch, I'm going to do that with between the lines.
1:23:51
Oh, sick. Because I just don't want to, I
1:23:54
don't want to show them with like another big blowy up.
1:23:57
Like he just gave them a big show.
1:23:59
So I think I should tone it down and bring him, bring him
1:24:01
something special. Yeah, and again, only one of us
1:24:05
has to win for this whole plan to work.
1:24:07
And and Monty, that's going to be you.
1:24:08
Well, right, but. OK, you didn't have to agree
1:24:12
that quickly. I mean.
1:24:14
Take the damn stage, OK? I'm not.
1:24:16
There. Bye Monty, believe in me.
1:24:19
OK, so you are using Between the lines 3 as your talent.
1:24:25
Yeah, I, I look out to the crowd and I I say welcome, ladies and
1:24:31
gentlemen. I got a lot of tricks and tricks
1:24:34
and a lot of tricks in store for you tonight, The biggest of
1:24:37
which is blowing your brain. Excuse me?
1:24:40
That sounds violent, Blowing your minds because that's what
1:24:42
we're here doing today, which is what you're using, by the way,
1:24:45
right now to listen to listen to my voice, right.
1:24:47
The the thing they could, they could feel for your seats.
1:24:50
They could feel where your butt's feeling, right?
1:24:52
Wasn't paying attention to that as I can go.
1:24:54
Did I put that in your head? I might've.
1:24:56
I might've. Technically I did, right?
1:24:58
So that's the thing. Get on up here.
1:25:00
And I point to someone in the crowd.
1:25:01
I do. I am thinking more about my
1:25:03
butt. Did he do that?
1:25:05
Yep, he did that. Great and powerful, all right.
1:25:10
You ask for a show of hands and you get lots of eager.
1:25:12
Actually, you don't. No one's eager to come up.
1:25:15
Interesting. No one's here, no. 1.
1:25:17
Comes when you call. You're going to have to, you
1:25:18
know, really give them a reason to come up on stage and be a
1:25:22
demonstration. Hey, how about how about you,
1:25:24
Brock? What?
1:25:28
Me. Yeah, yeah, I, I'm.
1:25:30
Not a camper. But you seem like someone who's
1:25:32
got a steel trap of a mind that there'd be a wonder if I could
1:25:34
get any sort of secrets out of that.
1:25:36
Thing. Well, it's a steel.
1:25:36
Trap. Let me tell you my friend, are
1:25:39
you? Insulting me?
1:25:41
No, no, no, no, Brock, get on up here and I'll, I'll tell you the
1:25:45
thing about magic. I'll show you and the crowd that
1:25:48
magic is not only real, but it could change your life.
1:25:51
Lottie gives Brock a shove and he reluctantly, sort of like,
1:25:54
trudges up on stage and looks around at the crowd.
1:25:58
Like what? Like it's hard.
1:26:00
Watch this. This guy's going to make a fool
1:26:02
of himself. I think I want to roll first so
1:26:05
that I can see I don't want to role play something really nice
1:26:07
or something really bad. And yeah, OK, I'm going to roll
1:26:09
1st and see. Let the dice decide.
1:26:11
I do start with. All right, Brock, I'm going to
1:26:14
ask you some questions about your life.
1:26:16
What do and I I ask him what, what?
1:26:18
What was your your, your dogs? What was your first pet's name?
1:26:21
I never had a pet. Never had a pet, no.
1:26:24
What was the street of the house you lived on one day?
1:26:26
I never lived on a street. OK, what do you do?
1:26:30
None of your business. I'm a camp counselor.
1:26:34
All right, like I said, steel trap.
1:26:36
Not a very good one. What was that young lady?
1:26:39
What? She said not a very good 10.
1:26:41
Goody, put your shoe back on. Excuse me, I only, I only need
1:26:46
with the one volunteer. I only need the one volunteer. 5
1:26:48
seconds to get this over with or I'm leaving.
1:26:51
Well, I'm about to amaze you. Ladies and gentlemen, watch
1:26:54
this. OK Rob, you are rolling between
1:26:57
the lines 3, so you'll we'll also roll 9 dice and we'll see
1:27:00
how many sixes you have. Could we say?
1:27:02
Maybe that Monty has helped him in this because of her work
1:27:07
surveilling earlier. Sure, you can roll a tense die.
1:27:11
Hell yeah. Because he wouldn't be able to
1:27:14
do what he I think he's about to do without the information
1:27:17
gleam. You're so right, this is a
1:27:19
teamwork moment. You make your mom.
1:27:22
Proud that is 4 sixes. Wow.
1:27:30
The crowd goes wild. Tell me what they go wild about.
1:27:34
Brock, there's someone you love in this crowd.
1:27:37
That's none of your business. I can I can see that the by the
1:27:42
color of your cheeks, that the the color of the turn subtle as
1:27:46
a Juliet rose, my friend, that there might just be someone in
1:27:48
this crowd that you have a feeling or two for.
1:27:51
Don't mess with me, that's none of your business.
1:27:54
Well, I mean, Brock, it's not for the kind of counselors to to
1:27:58
I mean, far be it from us to stop you from was fornicate.
1:28:02
Excuse me? Rubbing elbows.
1:28:05
Oh, rubbing elbows. Thank you, Monty.
1:28:08
Yes, my lovely assistant who could be on the stairs at the
1:28:10
stage today because I needed Brock as my assistant here.
1:28:13
Hey buddy, how about you just show us that tattoo on your cat
1:28:17
there, Brock? What?
1:28:19
If I could just get that out for the crowds inspection.
1:28:21
That is none of your business take.
1:28:23
Off your pants, Brock. Oh my God.
1:28:26
Am I getting the shoes up there? Loving it I think.
1:28:31
Take them off. Take them off.
1:28:34
Take them off. Take.
1:28:35
Them off, take them off. Oh my gosh.
1:28:37
To your ankles, bro. Come on man, take them off.
1:28:40
Rock is blushing so hard you might not pick up on this, but
1:28:43
somewhere at the back of the audience, at the back of the
1:28:45
amphitheater, Lottie like is mortified, face and hands
1:28:50
blushing. She looks up at some point and
1:28:52
just like, gives them. What?
1:28:54
He can't really tell is a nod yes or a shake no.
1:28:58
He eventually turns around and gives in and says fine, you're
1:29:02
right, how did you even know that?
1:29:04
And he pulls up his pant leg, revealing the botched, gnarly
1:29:09
tattoo of Lottie's face. Well, The thing is, I first of
1:29:14
all know a beautiful, a beautiful woman when I see her
1:29:18
and that's Lottie and whoever Donnie or so something is on
1:29:21
your leg. I get that the the reference
1:29:22
material, but God damn, you did not get it right, my friend.
1:29:26
So this is the this is what you get.
1:29:28
Guess what? It's not a fucking show.
1:29:30
It's not a fucking magic show. It's a roast everybody.
1:29:32
And Brock is our main attendant because look at this hideous
1:29:36
thing. Sorry to you, sorry I get.
1:29:39
Oh my God. Did I win?
1:29:43
Brock just turns on his heel and leaves.
1:29:46
He can't even believe what just happened.
1:29:47
He's mortified. He like skirts down the stage
1:29:50
steps and does like a little about face around the corner to
1:29:53
get behind like backstage to go into the bathroom to just like
1:29:57
be mortified in private. That's what.
1:29:59
That's what you get for rubbing elbows before you're married,
1:30:02
buddy. You got them.
1:30:04
You got them, Joey. The crowd literally goes wild.
1:30:08
These campers have not been this excited about a scandal since,
1:30:12
you know, in a long time. They're thrilled.
1:30:15
They all feel way cooler than Brock, and they think they have
1:30:18
a leg up on this whole camp thing.
1:30:20
Yes, the counselors aren't invincible.
1:30:22
They don't do everything right. So learning that really makes
1:30:24
everyone feel really good. So with four sixes, you're
1:30:29
coming out strong. Yes, that's it.
1:30:31
Joey. Joey.
1:30:33
Joey. Joey.
1:30:35
Joey. Is that guy?
1:30:37
Wearing steel Point. Good job.
1:30:39
Oh no, not that one from the sky, that one is.
1:30:42
That guy wearing steel toe boots?
1:30:44
How is am I going to tap that tonight that.
1:30:50
Wasn't part of the show. It's just a little treat for
1:30:54
you. Take it home to go.
1:30:56
Amazing. OK, I think that makes it
1:30:58
Monty's turn, huh? Good.
1:31:01
Great. I've been really looking forward
1:31:03
to this. Monty is going to stand up,
1:31:06
straighten her pencil skirt, kind of shift her blouse around,
1:31:09
check her hair, make sure her curls are curling, give one last
1:31:13
little look into her hand mirror, do a little powder, snap
1:31:15
it closed. Just you've got this and she
1:31:19
struts on the stage. Click, click, click, click,
1:31:22
click. Oh, yeah, she definitely changed
1:31:25
into heels for this. This is not a flats moment.
1:31:32
And she is going to stand in front of everyone kind of just
1:31:36
like Chuck her hip to the side and like put one like arm, have
1:31:38
her little elbow out. Oh, God.
1:31:40
And like just look stared on. The crowd says I clearly
1:31:45
understand why all of you are here, but I need to make it
1:31:49
known that I am not a bad person or a kid.
1:31:55
And actually, I was sent here to take some notes on this second
1:32:00
chance camp and I'm going to let you all know what I've
1:32:05
discovered. Thank.
1:32:07
God let him have it. First of all, sleeping in cabins
1:32:14
with other people. That has got to be breaking so
1:32:17
many OSHA rules. I swear.
1:32:20
I'm going to have my father look into this.
1:32:22
It's disgusting. And Can you believe this food
1:32:25
they're feeding us? There has been no real nutrition
1:32:27
in any of this. The State Department is going to
1:32:31
hear about this. Yeah, tell them I had to use an
1:32:34
EpiPen. Just eat it.
1:32:36
Yeah, they let my friend here who has a severe allergy to
1:32:39
peanuts have a peanut butter sandwich.
1:32:41
To me, that screams child endangerment.
1:32:44
Can I hear it? Child endangerment.
1:32:46
Child endangerment child. Endangerment.
1:32:48
Child endangerment. Yes Oh my God.
1:32:52
Also the fire. We were left unattended while
1:32:55
our 2 camp counselors were canoodling and rubbing elbows in
1:32:58
the woods. And don't we know who that was?
1:33:01
Yeah. They.
1:33:02
Are. Blinking we.
1:33:03
I know what that is. Know who it was.
1:33:06
So again, child endangerment child.
1:33:09
Endangerment. Child endangerment.
1:33:11
God and last and certainly not least, apparently this whole
1:33:18
Lantern walk is not what we expect it to be.
1:33:23
Apparently the whole point of this so-called prize that we get
1:33:27
for winning this joke of a talent show is just to scare us
1:33:31
straight. What do we think that means?
1:33:34
Child endangerment Child. Endangerment child.
1:33:37
Endangerment child. She's a leader we never knew we
1:33:39
needed. And yeah, I think she's just
1:33:41
like fully exposing just everything, just a appraising
1:33:46
everything she's seen. And she's like a young.
1:33:48
Obama. I'm telling you, my father, when
1:33:51
he gets back from his Miami trip and then goes and gets back from
1:33:54
his Hawaii trip and then gets back from Thailand and then back
1:33:58
from Japan, he's going to hear about this.
1:34:00
And I swear Patrice and I are going to write up a really good
1:34:04
report and it will be in the paper.
1:34:07
Wesley, it's Monty, bitch. So.
1:34:12
The administration at the back of the amphitheater is
1:34:14
mortified. They don't know whether it's
1:34:16
more important that they step in and shut you up or that they let
1:34:19
you have the stage. Knowing who your parents are and
1:34:23
the wrath of your dad, they decide to let you finish.
1:34:26
So I'm going to let you. Roll or trust fund?
1:34:30
Appraisal. Let you roll appraisal 4 three
1:34:33
times which would be 12 D sixes. If anyone would like to help out
1:34:38
and say how they do, I would allow you to roll 13.
1:34:43
I think I already did with between the line because I
1:34:45
really rant revved the yeah. You incited the riot.
1:34:51
Love it. So 13 yes, 13D sixes holding
1:34:55
this many D6 is giving trust fund baby.
1:35:00
I'm a feeling it. Oh no. 1613.
1:35:10
Oh my God. Which honestly tracks.
1:35:14
I feel like, like there's no way that it's not.
1:35:16
You could win the talent. Show with this.
1:35:19
Letting you finish your talent performance is the
1:35:23
administration's gift to you. It's their grace.
1:35:26
This is how they're going to justify not kicking you out,
1:35:31
which they know they can't do, and not crowning you the winner,
1:35:34
which they know they can't do, so letting you finish, finish
1:35:38
out, finish strong. Just a few side eyed glances and
1:35:41
some stern words from someone on the staff.
1:35:45
It is wild, just the power of speaking for so long that
1:35:47
everyone just like is no one gonna come get her?
1:35:50
And then just saying so much that.
1:35:51
Endangerment, Endangerment. Wow, really?
1:35:57
Just one? Yep, just it's incredible.
1:35:59
I. Keep I keep checking but wow.
1:36:05
Oh, how's that on the mouth feel?
1:36:09
At least one of us one. That's true, That's true.
1:36:11
Which is all we needed again. So true.
1:36:13
OK, so Joey, what a display. I work, I say.
1:36:18
I'm a bit of a mentalist. Being the person who generated
1:36:22
the most noise from this crowd without potentially opening up a
1:36:27
lawsuit for the camp, you are going to be crowned the winner
1:36:32
of this year's talent show. And then go down like casino
1:36:35
night because I use my pyrotechnics for good.
1:36:39
Right, exactly. Sure, you you're going.
1:36:43
To receive. Brock's going to come up and
1:36:45
hand you a trophy that says troublingly talented Camp Second
1:36:50
Chance 2026, and you are officially invited to be the
1:36:54
very first to experience this year's Lantern Path Walk after
1:36:58
dinner, along with two friends of your choosing.
1:37:02
I can't imagine who you'll pick. I certainly can, and it's my new
1:37:07
friends Goody and Monty. Yay.
1:37:11
Goody, Monty, you're gonna, we're gonna have fun tonight
1:37:14
also. And I pull Brock close as we
1:37:16
shake hands and as I get close to his ear, I say Bonnie looks
1:37:20
like my mother and if you ever heard her, I'll fucking kill
1:37:22
you. But thank you for this.
1:37:24
He just goes white because he's a fuck boy.
1:37:26
He probably is gonna hurt her despite the tattoo, but also he
1:37:31
puts up a brave front and kind of like gives you a shove, as
1:37:33
much of A shove as a counselor can give a camper without, you
1:37:36
know, immediately getting in trouble or fired on the spot.
1:37:39
And again, just sort of like ditches you and.
1:37:42
I look at him as he leaves and I say you're going to marry that
1:37:45
woman or I'm going to kill you. That's that's the deal.
1:37:47
Bye buddy. It's kind of a good thing that
1:37:49
tattoos botched though, like if he just continues to date blonde
1:37:52
women. Could be anyone exactly maybe?
1:37:55
He was on to something. Was it Lottie?
1:37:58
OK, it is time to stuff your backpacks and prepare for a
1:38:02
night in the woods my friends. So.
1:38:04
Really got this part of the prize.
1:38:07
Oh. No, Monty's going to hate it.
1:38:09
We get to see the beautiful lanterns.
1:38:11
That's true really quickly. What are a few items that you
1:38:14
guys make sure to include in your overnight bags?
1:38:18
A picture of my ma. I can't go to bed without
1:38:23
kissing it goodnight. I mean, what do you want from
1:38:24
me? What do flower people bring The.
1:38:28
OK, she loves me. She loves.
1:38:31
Me now, but it's about your mom. She.
1:38:34
Loves. Me, she loves me more.
1:38:36
She loves me. I think I just I bring my flower
1:38:40
books, I bring my, I make sure I bring my flower books for sure.
1:38:43
That's really nice. Great.
1:38:45
OK, flower books and. And the Obama too.
1:38:51
Yeah. All right.
1:38:52
I'll use it a. Bomb or two.
1:38:53
I thought you said an Obama too. I wish like a couple fire Obama
1:38:57
voodoo doll and a fireworks. But only be nice and give him.
1:39:01
Massages, yeah. Tuck him in really tight.
1:39:04
Yeah. Goody.
1:39:06
Goody is gonna have well, I always bring my extra pair of
1:39:10
shoes and just cuz they were saying the lanterns were weird.
1:39:13
I'm gonna bring a flashlight and I, I think the the last thing
1:39:17
I'm gonna bring is my extra super long shoelace.
1:39:20
It's a, it's 100 feet. Wow.
1:39:22
Perfect. What about you, Monty?
1:39:25
Monty does not have a backpack. She actually has a Prada tote
1:39:29
that she will be stuffing with her makeup, her curlers, some
1:39:34
pepper spray because. Who knows what's going to be up
1:39:36
in these woods? And the fire extinguisher,
1:39:41
because if she's learned anything with these two, it's
1:39:46
that having a fire extinguisher around is not a bad idea, but
1:39:50
she's very disgruntled at having to carry it because it's heavy.
1:39:53
Come on. Let's do it.
1:39:55
Let's go find out what these lanterns are all about.
1:39:57
Let's go, goody. I think we got to keep an eye on
1:39:59
this lady. I think she's she's planning
1:40:01
something with this much stuff in it.
1:40:02
Oh, Nope, Nope. It's just, it's a lot of makeup.
1:40:05
Are you going to pawn it off on one of the Yeah, one of the
1:40:07
gentlemen? I mean, hey, do you mind if I
1:40:10
put the bag that's in the backpack?
1:40:11
Because it's I'm, I'm going to be the one carrying it as she
1:40:13
like, hands it to me and I'm. Like, Oh my gosh, I thought
1:40:16
you'd never ask. OK, so no backpack.
1:40:20
I got to bring it in the bag. OK, got it.
1:40:23
Make sure you bring the Hairspray.
1:40:25
I always have the Hairspray. Oh yeah, with the Hairspray I
1:40:28
could. Well, I packed some retrofitted
1:40:31
Hairspray. Retrofitted.
1:40:33
Hairspray. Demolitions.
1:40:35
I mean, you just a little bit of a castle.
1:40:38
Dazzle, baby. A tough flamethrower, that's
1:40:41
all. We're going to see the lanterns
1:40:43
and I'm going to make it all the way.
1:40:45
We're going to see the lanterns and there's nothing going to
1:40:48
stay in my way. Lanterns going to see the
1:40:51
Lantern. Those are the bugs that are
1:40:54
flying next to you. Dusk descends on Camp Second
1:40:58
Chance and you've just finished enjoying the last of your
1:41:01
dinner, walking tacos and Capri Suns.
1:41:09
Fucking I missed the. Nothing but the best for y'all.
1:41:12
I missed the straw and the whole now I got to suck out of it.
1:41:16
That's right, you do. Now campers are starting to
1:41:19
migrate toward the start of the path.
1:41:22
They gather around to watch as Joey, along with Monty and
1:41:27
Goody, prepare to take their first steps along the path,
1:41:30
backpacks in tow, eventually heading into the woods to enjoy
1:41:34
a journey of self discovery. Or so they say.
1:41:38
Lottie approaches Joey and puts her hands on your shoulders.
1:41:43
Think you're ready, kid? This is a treasured honor, so no
1:41:47
matter what you experience, know that it's for your own good or
1:41:50
whatever. I'd hate to see this price
1:41:52
wasted on someone too dumb to appreciate it.
1:41:55
You, you truly do look and sound like my mother and it really, it
1:41:59
really is putting me right at home.
1:42:01
Lottie, I I thought I was going to figure out what I was good at
1:42:03
today. And I yeah, yeah, being on stage
1:42:06
felt good. But I don't know if I like
1:42:07
Conan. Maybe I'll find, I'm sorry, I
1:42:10
mean mentalism, but yeah, maybe I'll find whatever I'm good at
1:42:16
along the way. Maybe.
1:42:17
Is that what this path is for? Would it be straight with me?
1:42:20
Is it is it all the the heebie jeebies Boo Boo boos, or is it
1:42:24
is it what's the deal with this? It's.
1:42:26
Going to be the best thing that's ever happened to you.
1:42:28
Have you ever? Taken the Lantern.
1:42:29
Oh yeah, the first. You were the first one down on
1:42:31
the water path. I mean, this is a pretty big
1:42:33
deal, right? You did this A.
1:42:34
Treasured honor. And you've received that
1:42:37
treasured honor. Oh yeah.
1:42:38
What was it like for you? Are you ready?
1:42:41
Lottie gives you a slight shove toward the start of the path and
1:42:44
beckons your friends to follow you close behind.
1:42:47
Together. You see lanterns in the distance
1:42:50
start to glow ever so faintly, and in fact you can't decide if
1:42:54
you're only imagining it or not. But suddenly you're putting 1
1:42:58
foot in front of the other, feeling pulled towards something
1:43:01
intense and pushed by something eager.
1:43:05
I am not. I'm not sure if I'm liking this.
1:43:07
My belly is starting to feel a little weird.
1:43:08
Lonnie, where? Where do you is Lonnie with me
1:43:10
still? Monty turns around and says we
1:43:13
will get the answers and we will.
1:43:14
Come back for. All of you.
1:43:16
Make sure you wear elbow pads, Lottie.
1:43:18
I've scraped an elbow or two. Bunk in my elbow, guys.
1:43:21
You guys start walking? I can't stop for some reason.
1:43:23
OK, you guys, we've got this. And that is where we'll end our
1:43:29
session. You will have to join us for the
1:43:31
final installment of Camp Second Chance to find out what happens
1:43:35
as this trio takes on the Lantern path.
