  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm not going to Steph.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I never told you production of iHeart Radio. And today
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we are doing a revisit that we're very excited about
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: because recently on a Monday many you, Samantha, we're talking
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: about how you've really gotten into these Choose your Own
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Adventure phone games, right, yes, kind of like it's called
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Choices Ah by Pixel Berry, and yes, you determine like
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the characters and what you do. We talked about the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: problematic things, but how much I'm enjoying it and I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: am still on it and I'm old still a bit obsessed. Yeah, yeah,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And we in that episode you were talking about, you know,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: kind of the binary problems that might arise some of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: these more misogynistic are are things God that might arise?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But when you were talking about it, I've remembered that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we had a listener who wrote in I think a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: year ago named Amanda who was like, you've got to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: play we Haven we Haven Chronicles because it's you know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: got vampires, it's got supernatural elements, it's got romance, all
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of this stuff. And I had downloaded it then because
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I would love to do this
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and then I never played it because I got distracted.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But this restarted the memory and we Samantha and I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: have now played the first book. Yes, and I got
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: through it much faster than you because you were two
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: weeks ahead of me. And I was like, how did
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I get faster than you? To be fair, when I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: get caught up something in something, I get caught up
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in something. I am a person for sure. Um. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I finished it within a day. But I was like, wait,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you've been on that one decision for a week. What
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk about that? It was so funny.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I was just deliberating. Fact. I was like sending people
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: who had no idea what I was talking about. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was like, here are the plus and minuses of going
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with this person, and they're like, what it took me
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: forever to make the decision? Um? And I like that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you had a prediction. We'll come back and talk about
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it about like who I should have done? Um, But anyway,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and I assume that it would be a specific person.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, you didn't not at all. Okay, okay, yes,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so we're going to talk about it. So this is
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: going to be sort of a lighter, more fun episode
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: where we talk about our experiences. But also we reached
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out to a listener, Amanda again, and we just asked, like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: what was your experience, what did you like about it?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Can you send us just some general things that you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed about the game and your experience with the game,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And Amanda delivered and sent as an audio file and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all of these questions. So, Amanda, one, you're amazing. If
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you're listening to you, you are essentially interviewing us in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: this episode. You are the interviewer because we're going to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: give our answers to the questions that you wrote out. Yes,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you're a hero here to our attention. We enjoyed this
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: very much. Your answers were amazing. I'm so excited. Yes,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be fun. And I can't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: wait to compare our statistics because essentially, yeah, you choose,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You get a lot of options, and you choose something
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and then that at the end or at any time,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you can check and see if like you're more charming
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: or more intimidating and all of these things in your
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: statistics based on the choices that you made. Um So
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: at the end, Samantha and I are going to compare that,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and I think it'll be very, very funny. But yes,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: before we get into that, for anyone who's listening, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's like, what are you talking about? The way even
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Chronicles are Choose your an adventure game that you can

  Speaker 1: Your first case as a detective is forcing you to

  Speaker 1: open your eyes to a world bigger than you thought.

  Speaker 1: But maybe it's better to keep them closed. Knowing too
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: much doesn't help anyone sleep at night. Seems the supernatural
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: didn't get the memo that nothing exciting ever happens in

• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we talked about this, like what did you think? What
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: did you say? Versus what I saw? We saw two
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: very specific, different things we did. Indeed, the description continues.

  Speaker 1: Indulge in true moments of romance, friendship, drama, and fun fun.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I love it so yeah. I mean, if I had
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to describe it, I would say it is a shifting
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: p o V. But primarily you are playing this from
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the point of view of a detective. UM I named
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Mine Kira Kingston. Oh oh, we both chose so it
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was like four or five names you could shoo us.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I went with Kara Kingston, who has started as detective
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in this small town of wey Haven, where it sounds
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like not a lot happens in general, but of course
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: when you first start, suddenly there are murders, bodies are dropping,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and you're not sure what's going on. And then your mother,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: who you can change the relationship with the mother. You
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: can also shape of whether she's kind of estranged or
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: whether you're close. But it sounds like she's really busy
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and you don't see her that much. Comes in and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: she's got this. You know, you didn't Bravo from this
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: kind of secretive government agency. And yes they're all vampires. Yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: well this group, this particular group, Samantha is giving me
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a very meaningful look. M and I did have a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: lot of fun playing it, um I I was funny
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: how much I got so caught up in But what
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: if it's the wrong decision? Che and I contemplated the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: decision for days, for days, and I would also, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: wonder if you felt this, Samantha. But I would get
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: torn between like this is what I would actually do
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and this is what I hope I would do. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I would try to be truthful to what I think
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I would do, even if sometimes I was like, I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: probably do that because that's part of the funds, like
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: doing what you think you should do and seeing what
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: would happen. I actually had a couple of incidents and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it may have just been me on the phone where
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of decisions were taken out of my hands.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It would just bypasses like, no, I didn't make that decision.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So I've had the been like three or four times,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I think, and I was like, how did that happen?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Soul feel like that if something goes wrong, if there's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a way to play this wrong, that's what happened. Oh,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you're gonna blame it on that. Yeah, it is because
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: those affects, those choices affect you. Clearly. I guess we
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: should have said not a sponsor currently by any of this.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: We just wanted to talk about it because we had
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a good time. Um right now game sponsors best Fiends
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and yes, I'll still play that. Can't wait to talk
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: about that again. In our ad experience. If you haven't
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: heard it, listeners, Sapantha gets real real, come on, this
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: is how I make a nemesis. Yes, I love it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And Amanda was kind enough to to answer these questions
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in written format. But also to send us an audiophile
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: about why she really enjoyed Wey Haven and a little
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: bit about her experience with it, so we thought we'd
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: play that. What can I say about the Way Haven
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Chronicles Well, first and foremost, it's a supernatural murder mystery
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: with vampire love interest, so it didn't take much to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: sell me. I've been playing many of these text based
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: choose you own adventure stories for some time, and a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: big draw has always been choosing a gender and sexuality
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that matches my own and having reflected in the game.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: But what really makes the Way Having chronicles stand out
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is just a well written and plotted out the character
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: arcs and story are a love interest in particular for you.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Bravo has such distinct personalities that fit all sorts of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: romantic tropes. Do you love slow burns with yearning aver
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Adam is your best bet? Do you love falling in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: love with your best friend for or Felix? What about
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the angsty rebel pretends to hate everyone but has a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: secret soft side morgana Mason, And of course the person
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: who almost seems too good to be true, but who
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: may actually have a secret hidden a way Nadally your name.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Each of these interactions is so unique and varies depending
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: on who you decide to ultimately romance, if anyone, which
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: is another fantastic bonus. You don't have to romance anyone
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: if you decide that's not your thing. Determining who will
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: be your best friend was just as interesting to me
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: as any potential budding romance, especially because of re prizy
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to be kind and mesh with them. Not just anyone
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: will be able to match Aver adams gruff, no nonsense attitude.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: This is in part due to the choices helping you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: friend to detective personality, your surroundings and character interactions providing
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to reflect yourself within the character. Even the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: little details, which is whether you drink coffee or tea?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And what about with the pastry? You always got to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: get it with the pastry. Whether you're detective is a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: direct carbon copy yourself, which fulfillment or neither. It's been
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a fun experiment trying the different personality combinations. It's easy
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: in many games to play as a snarky a hole
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: without any repercussions or anyone taking notice. But I love
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: how in this game that truly dictates how the other
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: characters will address you and follow through in the later books.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: My last point I will say about the series and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: why I love it is again focus on how the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: story draws you in with these elements and delivers are
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: really compelling narrative that truly does change with each playthrough,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: depend on how you equip your detective socially and with
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: different skills. With no spoilers, I've never had two runs
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be the same and can make it feel like an action,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: romantic comedy or a thriller with a doomed romance, all
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: depending on these choices, and I think that's why even
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: after four years, I'm still replaying and eagerly awaiting the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: third book. So yeah, thank you Amanda for sending that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in and for writing out in these questions also, which
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: we're gonna use throughout. We really really appreciate it. Okay,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So I think we're we're going to go through and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: read Amanda's experience, and then we're going to give our
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: own experiences based on on what we experienced. I'm saying
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'll experience a lot, but based on what we chose
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and oh, the deliberations, the deliberations and what happened. I'm
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: very curious to see if there were some differences in
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: what happened, because I've only played it once, so I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: don't know if you can shift or if the ending
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is kind of set. It sounds like you can get
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: multiple INDO play it just to see. Yeah, and we
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: both downloaded the second one, but we haven't started it yet,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but maybe a redo revisit, so I guess samthan I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: already kind of answered this one, but Amanda wrote what
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: can I say about the Way having Chronicles? Well, first
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and foremost, it's a supernatural murder mystery with vampire love interest,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: so it didn't take much to sell me. I had
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: been playing many of these text based choose your own
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: adventure stories for some time, and a big draw has
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: always been choosing a gender and sexuality that matches my
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: own and having it reflected in the game. But what
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: makes the Way and Chronicles stand out is just how
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: well written and plotted out the character arcs and story are.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: The love interest, in particular for Unit Bravo, have such
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: distinct personalities that it fits specific tropes. Do you love
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: slow burns with Yearning? Ava slash Adam is your best bet?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Do you love Falling in Love with your best friend
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Fair slash Felix. What about the angsty rebel who pretends
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to hate everyone but has a secret sauce side Morgan's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: flash from Mason, And of course the person who almost
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: seems too good to be true but may have a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: secret hidden away Natalie slash Nate. So if you're confused
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: by the names, I believe, and again I've only played
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: it once. And Samantha and I you both chose bisexual, correct,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I believe if you choose gay, maybe you get I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you get only women's names. Um, if
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you're a woman, I don't know. I have no idea.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: This is just speculation because we did not have Samantha,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I did not have these names. Um maybe it's what
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we were playing on. That is just a theory that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I have. But so we had two women and two men, Adam, Nate,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Farah and Morgan. So two men and two women, those
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: were the romantic interest for us. Um Amanda continues, Each
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of these interactions is so unique in barries, depending on
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: who you decide to ultimately romance if anyone, which is
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: another fantastic bonus. You don't have to romance anyone if
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you decide that's not your thing. Um so, yeah, this
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is one of the funniest things to be I that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: was the decision I got so hung up on. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: was like, who shall I rollmance? Because eventually I had
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: been flirting with everybody, right, yeah, you you you. But
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: eventually you get kind of towards the end this message
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that says, all right, you need to lock down who
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: are you going to pursue and it's gonna you can't
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: change it later. You have to stick with it for
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the rest of the game, and I did. I texted
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: multiple people screenshots of this and they're like, we don't
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: know who these people are, Like, we can't help you out.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I was so stuck in my head and I'm somebody
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: who yes, I identify as a sexual. Romance isn't really
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: my thing. But I do like flirting. I really actually
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: do like flirting. Um So I got all caught up
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: in it and it was fun. I did enjoy it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I did kind of like, oh, I wonder what will
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: happen if I Yeah, I mean you and I talked
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: about this between this and our last book club, talking
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: about missing the flirting bit. I hate dating. I'm really
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: bad at it, but I'm really good at flirting. I'm
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: really good at flirting where there's no stakes, so essentially
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: like there's nothing there, but this is fun and I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: can flirt with you. I'm really good at that. If
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it's trying to be purposeful. I am clumsy like everything.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But I think I talked about our meet cute like
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I am clumsy, clumsy, clumsy. So when I'm trying to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: purposely flirt, uh, with no intention, I am great at
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it and I enjoy it a lot. And then there
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: are the moments where you're like the beginning of like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: does he like me? Do we reciprocate? Or is this
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: just it's just one sided? It's exciting and I've missed that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And I feel like both of these things this and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the last book that we did, um actually really puts
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that to the feeling. I'm like, Okay, yeah, here we go, big,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: big surly really um moody dude, let's go. Yeah. I mean,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it was definitely it was very fun because I feel
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: like a lot of times when the flirting part happened,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: there were maybe eight decisions, and there was like two
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: where you could have like outright flirt, and then one
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: where it was kind of more subtle, and I always
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: did the more subtle one because I was still kind
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of feeling out who I wanted, and so I got
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of the like, oh, your your stomach feels
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a little tight, but you're not sure why. Oh your
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: skin feels a little warm but you don't know. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it felt very like, yeah, of what she was feeling,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: but she was feeling something. Was that your experience. Did
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you have more like outright flirting things. I'm pretty sure
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it was the sparks because I wasn't being overtly tough
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: done um, because towards the end, it was all about
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the looks. Yes, the looks. The looks and didn't remind
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: me as I mentioned a game series I love. Mass
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Effects is like this where you have, like I don't know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: seven people, you can romance, can choose your gender, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and I played it enough
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: times to romance everybody, but it was almost like, again,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I do think it's fun. I think it was really enjoyable,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: but I also just sort of wanted to know the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: story of what happens if you romance this person and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: what you can learn. So I was struggling with that too,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: where I was like, but I really want to know
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Morgan. I wonder was making her
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: this way? Yes, I wonder if I romance or I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: can find out. But I did like More. I deliberated
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: with everybody I was so for I assumed it will
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: be fair, how to be honest, that's honestly, probably the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: one I should have done. I ended up choosing the triangle,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the Nate and Adam, shocking to me, well, because I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to see more. I want to learn more, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: so I like, I told you, if I could have
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: had everybody but Adam, I would have had like a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: probably amorous to be fair, I was Adam. Adam was
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: number one for me. That's so interesting. I thought those
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: were too nice. I'd like to argue with people. Oh no,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: not me. I was like, just leave me be, sir,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: let me do my job. Read over in the corner.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: M hmmm, Um, I did. I wanted to. I really
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: liked More and I really liked Fair. I don't know again,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: if I could have chosen like multiple people, oh gosh,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: who knows, But that's why I chose them. And I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: do like I I like a good tough guy. Oh
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: but I secretly am in love with you things, so
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll enjoy it in the second book, but
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: it was very much why can I have Nate and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: this person? Right again, Nate would probably the one I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: would have ended up with, So I can't imagine in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: real life like being with someone who's or Fara like essentially,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: but yes, I do in relationships. I've only been with men,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: so that's the real life. But I did I payed
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: bisexual because I was like, you know what, this is
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: one of those like let's just take up because I've
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: always had moments of like, this woman is beautiful, not
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: necessarily attracted, but I acknowledge how beautiful they are, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I cannot ever let that go. And I'm more likely
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to complement a woman than I am a man. Yeah, yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And I mean it's just more options. There you go, options.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I'm greedy, yes, exactly, exactly. Um. But something else that
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Amanda talked about here's a quote. Determining who will be
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: your best friend was just as interesting to me as
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: any potential budding romance, especially because it requires you to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: be kind and mesh with them. Uh, not just anyone
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: who'll be able to match with Avis slash the gruff,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: no nonsense attitude. This is in part due to the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: choices helping you frame the detective's personality, your surroundings and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: character interactions providing an opportunity to reflect yourself within the character,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: even the little details such as whether you drink coffee
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: or tea? What about with the pastry? You always gotta
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: get it with a pastry, of course, I think I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: did that. Yet you also get friendship points. You have
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: flirting points and friendship points, and I had a lot
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of I am just friendly, so I had a lot
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of friends points. I only had the friendship points really
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: with Nate. Yeah, oh, I had a bunch. I think
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: everybody but Adam, but even adn't laugh. Everybody else had
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: three or one, three or one, and then at Nate
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I had six. I had a bunch of Nate too.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I had a bunch of Nate, but there were a
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: lot of opportunities with him. I think to have those interactions.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Um and then Amanda wrote whether your detective is a
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: direct carbon copy of yourself with fulfillment or neither. It's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: been a fun experiment trying the different personality combinations. It's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: easy in many games to play as a snarky a
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: hole without any percussions or anyone taking notice. But I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: love how in this game that dictates how the other
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: characters will address you and follow through in the later books. Okay,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: my last point I will say about the series and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: why I love it again focusing on how the story
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: draws you in with these elements and delivers are really
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: compelling at narrative that truly does change with each play through,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: depending on how you equip your detective socially and with
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: different skills. With no spoilers, I have never had two
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: runs be the same and can make it feel like
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a live action rom com or a thriller doomed romance,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: all depending on these choices, and I think that's why,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: even after four years, I'm still replaying and eagerly awaiting
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the third book. Oh that's exciting, okay, because I thought
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the third one was already out, So okay, Amanda, you're
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: making all these things just too exciting for us. Well,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and that's good to know, because like we said, we didn't.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I haven't played it twice. Samantha's and played it twice,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: but I know now I'm like m but I am
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: such a I guess there is a slightly different It's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: hard for me to be snarky. Oh I was. I know,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I have one percent. I was like, Samantha's going to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: choose this one. Every time I would see a choice
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: like he's gonna be forgiving and loving, and I'll be like, no,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: thank you. It's kind of I'm kind of notoriously. I cannot,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: like in mass effect, I can't be the renegade. I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: have to be the parent. I can't do it. And
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: like BioShock, I cannot do you like take the energy
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: from the chill. I can't do it. Um. Even if
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'd get like a different ending or a slightly different thing,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I just can't do it. So it would be interesting
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: for me. There were certainly a lot of choices. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: was like this one or this one, um, And so
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I could have a play through. I'm not
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: sure how different it would be. So I was more
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: stocky with the new new Bravo team and the mom
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: than I was with my co workers. I will say, yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I want I'm cus. I think the thing I'm most
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: curious about is the last like the finale, I guess
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: because there was a lot in the kind of combat
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: section at the end where I was like I was,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I got really in my head about what would I
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: actually do? Um, So this this one was very much
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: met a reflection of me of what I would do.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: This is me being about the Yeah, absolutely I'm a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: badass and I'm not. Mine was very much like we
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: can't we all get a lot. Nope, that's interesting though,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: So yours wasn't necessarily you like reflection of you. No,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it's what I want to be. Okay, okay, it's but
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I mean it's an interspersed you know, you can't really
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: because I couldn't absolutely be a jerk the entire time.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Like so like with a mortician, I was very nice
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and like the cside person was like in our very close,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the friend ex partner very close. Even the dude who
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: was the governor's whatever. I was still like, not wish
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: those buttons, but with like the team, if they pushed up,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: gives me, I'm pushed back, Like that's kind of level.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The mom I was not as forgetting understanding but not okay,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't totally separate it out. But
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: mine was certainly me trying to figure out what I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: would actually do. So it could be fun to do
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: one where I'm just like, I wish this is the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: seeing the differences that's the next run. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So Amanda continues first book rundown. Note. I chose my
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: romantic partner preference to only women, so the names below
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: will reflect the female variations for reference Eva Adam, Natalie
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Nat slash Nate Morgan slash Mason Ferris slash Felix. Okay,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: so if I say I'm hetero sexual, it would all
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: be men. Yeah, I guess. So. Oh that's interesting. Okay,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: that's not as much fun. Yeah. I never do that version.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna but that sounds so fun. Uh my first
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: play through back when the first book released back in
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: shout out to the recap feature in the second book
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: for reminding me how it went, and apparently I loved
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: it so much I made an immediate second one. So yes,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: when you start the second one, it's like, do you
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: want to recap? How much details do you want? Um?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: You can also import your game from the first one,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: which is what we did. Amanda continues. My detective personality
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the first time pretty much reflected my own at the time,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: so if it's serious a little snarky and all about
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: getting the job done. I followed the rules, including throwing
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: away my precious coffee and pastry, and got along most
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: with Tina. I didn't let Douglas, who's the mirror son
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: who's also an intern, do whatever he wanted, and tried
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to make him actually work to no avail. I had
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a good but reserved relationship with my mother, respecting her
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: but slightly resenting her for being away much of the time.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And of course I had Bobby be an ex lover
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: from college because a snoopy reporter X and a vampire
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: love story is perfect for drama, agreed. And then Amanda
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: runs through major choices. One of them Uh okay, so yes,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I know we've already spoiled it, but at this point
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: get out now. If you were like I really don't
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: want any more spoilers, well yours is also going to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: be different, so reminder of that. And you and your choices.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: You don't know what your choices. But to be fair,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: so for me, as we said, uh, Douglas, he him,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and my relationship was I ignored him, essentially, let him
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: do what he wanted to and did my own thing. Um,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: not worrying about him. For me, Tina and I were close,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: very close. Bobby and I were just acquaintances because I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with him. He just sounded like
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a douche from the job, but I'm like, nope. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: for Rebecca the Mother, we weren't very close in relationship,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: but I understood her absence, but she still arms length away. Yeah, Douglas,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I tried to get him to do work as well,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: but I also was kind of like I felt like
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: my hands were tired because he was the marrison. But
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I did try to get him to do work. Tina
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and I were really close, and there's a scene where
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you like go out to the bar together and we
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: had a grand old time. Not too much of a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: grand old time, but a grand old time. Uh. For Bobby,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it says past relationship, acquaintance a reporter with bad morals.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: For Rebecca the Mom, past relationship, very close relationship, even
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: with the absences. I knew it. Yeah. It was always
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like do you reach out or and every other choice
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: was like ignore her or like acknowledged. But I was
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: always like, who are reaching you? We can do this, um.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: But I knew that was going to be a big
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, so I can choose how this relationship
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: is gonna look. Okay, okay, uh so major choices that
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Amanda runs through shoot ava first play through, I Pepper sprayed,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and that has been a theme throughout unless I decide
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to let them go. I so this is early in
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the on in the game, you kind of you run
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: into the vampires. You don't realize their vampires. I did
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: not shoot. Um. I think I was trying to be like,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk this out. Oh, Pepper sprayed Adam real hard.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I think I was like talking to them immediately, no question. Um.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And then Amanda rights reason for joining way Haven p
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: D best job to use scientific skills, want to help people,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: pretty consistent throughout. I'm a cybersecurity professional in real life
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and even consider joining the FBI early in my career,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: so this choice has always been fairly easy. Skills wise,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I tended to focus on technical and people skills, basic
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: detective things. The three of us have something uncommon. You
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: wanted to be, uh. I wanted to be a diplomat
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: slash CI agent. So yeah, and then she she does
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: this and I was a state agency worked with the facts,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: what with deparmajudical justice. I want to help people a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: little different this obersecurity. But for a while I was
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: looking to do a job with gb I specifically working
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: with children. But yeah, absolutely on that same route. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: mine was there was no technological stuff. It was all
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: like people mm hmmm. I I believe because they asked
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you kind of early on how did you become detective?
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And I think because there was one choice that was like,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: essentially you just had to do it because the last
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: person retired. I think I said something along the lines
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: of like I wanted to do it, but I don't
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: feel great about how I got it. I remember mine
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was because I wanted to help you. I yeah. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: that was pretty much throughout when it would be like
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: why are you doing this? I consistently would say, we
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: need to help people of this town. We have to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: prevent something like this happening, always kind of focusing in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: on the town's people. My professional information, my people skills
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: is the highest seventy combat is zero percent, um science
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: technology deduction last knowledge seven percent, and then by the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: book been the rules. Okay, yeah, because my people's skills
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: with sixty eight percent, my compast skills were my science
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: technology was nine deduction and by the book fifty been
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the rules. I was pretty even on that. I feel
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: like you had a you were overall better. I feel
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: like skills wise, I was no because my science and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: technology would were all the way down. I felt I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: get challenged to by the way. I'm like I needed
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I needed up it right right right right. Well, we'll see,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Um. And then Amanda continues went
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: out or stayed in, stayed in the office. As a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: chronic of a worker, this made so much sense for
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: me to do, especially the first play through. Though I'm
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: not going to lie, the going out scene is so
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: much fun. I've worked on getting a better work life balance,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: so later games I tend to go out, especially with
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: romancing Morgan for the fun interactions. Now I'm curious, I
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: did a little bit of both. I think I definitely
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: went out with Tina a few times. Uh, Nate and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I went out did our thing a couple of times.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: That's all I got. I don't think I ever went
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: out with Nate other than a work thing, but I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: went out with Tina and then they all showed up right. Um,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: And I know there's that part with Tina asked you out.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: You have to like pretty much directly asking you are
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you going to be somebody who stays in or do
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: you go out sometimes? Oh? Yeah, yeah. And Tina even asked, like,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you know about romance and you can say I have
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: no time for romance, um, which I didn't. I think
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I said the same thing. I think I said, like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it's not a prior. Essentially, it's not a priority for
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: me right now, so I need to know. Because they
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: described the home, what kind of home did you pick?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I think I did. It was like cozy, clutter, clutter.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: In the end, I was like, well damn it. Yeah,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and then like the whole team Bravo unit Bravo comes
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: over and they're looking at your apartment. I remember feeling
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: kind of like embarrassed, even though it's not a really
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: harm it's not real, but yeah, I was also embarrassed
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: because the options are like cheek or minimal or industrial
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: or cozy, and was of course I want to do cozy.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I didn't mean grandma cozy. What
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: does cozy mean to you? What's happening? Enough? Blake is
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: around so that everyone can have one if they desire. Yes,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: it's in a comfortable place to sit. Yes, I agree,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I agree, but that is certainly my apartment is what
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I chose the closest thing to my apartment. And then
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Amanda writes a reaction to vampire revelation, accepting pretty much
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: always choose this, especially after everything that goes down the story.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So this is like when you find out all there's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: supernatural bigs, their vampires, how do you react? I think
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I did the like what but okay with it? Eventually, Yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: me too. I think I did the okay and then
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: moved on. I'm like, I'm gonna need time to process. Yeah.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think I was ever like oh I hate this,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I hate all of you. And I was just sort
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: of like, this is a lot, all right, well let's
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: keep working. Then we got things they do exactly. Uh.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: And then Amanda writs agreed to agency blood test. Yes,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: this one changes all the time as the story goes on.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a right answer, but I'm sure
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: it will come back down the road. I agreed to
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: do it too, But I was very like that when
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I got stuck on for a long time. But I thought,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: like story wise, life, I would want to know what's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: wrong with me or what is happening? Immediately I would
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: be yes, mm hmm, that's a real life decision. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: was very, very torn, which is also me and my life.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, but now they'll have my blood, Like
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I was back and forth, back and forth, but I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: did eventually I was like, Okay, I want to I
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: want to know and see what happens in the story.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: And then Amanda writes romance Ava this was such a
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: difficult one, and I debated between her and Natalie for
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: a way too long. My second game. I actually ended
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: up romancing Natalie, and I found that I rarely romance
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: even now because the slow burning, hot and cold of
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: her personality has been not my cup of tea as
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I have grown older. So Eva being Adam in our case,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's the thing, is like, I want
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to go back in romance, everybody, this is what's gonna
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: happen to me. Um that we're having real time revelation
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: that we're talking about my future. Thank you, Amanda. No, yeah,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I absolutely felt the same way. In like, I think
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I was stick to Adam when it comes to like
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: romance novels. I'd like the build up of the fighting
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: through Also because I'm just a stubborn in real life.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: But also it makes me there's something to just goating
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit in a good way, not mean mean um,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Nate was my character. I try to flirt
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: with him, but in the beaning we're just friends. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I mean he was a nice guy in a in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a nonlike internet meanway. You're actually nice guy. Um, at
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: least it seems. Who knows what happens later? I do.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I do love a good slow Burn. Um. I think
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: part of that is because I often catch myself reading
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: slow Burn fan fiction and I'm not in it for
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the romance, but there's something kind of funny about it
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: to me where they neither of them realize that. I'm like, yeah,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: you fools, UM, so that could be fun. And you know,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I'll see how this traangle plays out, maybe it will
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: be really interesting. But I did, You're right, you you
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: had it. You hit it on the head. I wanted
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: to be a fair so I guess I'll have to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: go back. But I wanted to be with Morgan two.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah you did. You try to tell me both and
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, but Fair I seemed to be
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the one that would have gotten you yeah, yeah, I agreed, agreed,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and then Amanda continues Murphy bite the detective so dejective
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: being you um yes on the neck. First play through,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I was livid about this. I thought I had done
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: everything right, but it was one mistake in not trusting
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: my skills. I've had a few variations to this, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: some where there is no bite. I definitely got but
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: so I got me. I was mad too. It's like, no,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I am it was an overall like it has to
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: happen so we can play through it. But okay, apparently not.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Now I want to know what choice? Where
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: did I go wrong? Don't happen to play back? Thanks
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of thanks a lot, Amanda, And then finally
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Murphy's fate Amanda rights captured. Not gonna lie. I'm not
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: entirely sure how I managed this on my first play through,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but must have been ecstatic. Actually, after suffering a bite,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like most of the other games I have done,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: wind up with him running away. Oh I didn't know
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: he could. I assumed it wasn't automatic because yeah, I
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: captured him too. Did you sacrifice yourself? Yeah? Yeah, Well,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and the thing the choice I think I did incorrectly,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: but I'm I don't regret it because it's totally true.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: It was. There was like one where she the detective,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: had the option of like healing herself and then because
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: she was pretty injured in my case, and then going
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: in and I ignored the healing and I was like, no,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: we're going in, Like yeah, but I'm pretty sure I
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: should have taken that moment, but yeah, I captured him. Uh.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: And then it sounds like we're going to be working together,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the detective and Unit Bramo in future projects because now
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: you're the detective is like a supernatural beacon and everybody
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: wants a piece of Well that's the thing. So yeah,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: because you know, as the future. I'm like, oh, it
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: just abruptly ended what happened, realizing it is a three partner.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: But I was like, I assumed it was still like
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: wrap up a little bit, and it kind of really didn't.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: So I like, all right, what do I do with this?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: But before we go there, I do want to know
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: because there's a part where you can get your personal information,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: so I needed to know what your personality was because
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting for Kira Kingston. For Kira
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Kingston alright. Personality sixty six percent charming, thirty four percent intimidating,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: fifty percent impulsive, cautious, sarcastic, fifty seven percent genuine, friendly,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: sixty two stock, thirty eight percent easy going sixty two
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: percent stubborn percent heart, seventy percent mind percent optimist sixty
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: seven percent pessimist, team player independent. Oh wow, that sarcastic
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: went through me. So my personality chap for Carolynn was charming,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: intimidating because I'm not going back down impulsive percent while
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: being cautious at sarcastic, while being in genuine best. When
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, what friendly, I was forty percent friendly,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: fifty percent stock, and then I was forty percent easy going, stubborn,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: which feels about right, and the traits I'm eighty two
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: percent heart percent mine, So okay, thanks, I'm optimists being
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: the pessimist, and then fifty percent team player independent. Wow,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: there are some surprises in there. Yeah, no, you're sarcastic.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Was a little surprising. I'm not gonna lie. Um, I
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: it was fun. I was like building it up. I
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: was trying to be stoic because I am an observer.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: That is something I've always been told like, I will
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: not react intelity what the environment is doing. So therefore
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: i probably would be seen as a stoic because I'm
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna, especially in new situations, I'm not going to react.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to figure out what's happening before
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I react and then go for it. And I'm gonna
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: be reading as many people as possible. So that could
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: be a little more personality. But I'm sarcastic as hell,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: so that's quite funny. I think for me, I'm also
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: an observer, but I also and very uh. Once I
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: get to know somebody than my personality really adapts to
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: what they do. So I think I was not sarcastic
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: at all at the beginning, but then I was like, oh, Morgan,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: seems like she appreciates sarcasm, maybe Adam, so I sort
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: of adapted based on their personality something I don't I think.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I'm oh, yeah, I was sarcastic with her, but I
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: was much more like bound with sarcasm and genuineness with her.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: But so, I mean that is accurate. I think I've
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: kind of adapted since you have multiple characters in there
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: that appreciate sarcasm, that's where that came from I think
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: overall you were more balanced than me, but that you're
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: versus mine was a bit shocking because I was like,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: quit being mean to these people. I would be mean
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: to the victim's mother, that's so ridiculous, Like it didn't
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: make sense. But would I be mean to Tina who
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: fills a connection to this family? No, I'm not going
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: to be mean to these people. What's wrong with you?
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? And then I feel like
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: looking through my because you can also look at your
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: relationship stats with the team. Yeah, I actually like it
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: was way more friendly with everybody and flirting was much less.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so who are you? Who are you most
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: friendly with? Nate? But Farah was very close, Nate and
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Fara very close. So they give you points. Who was
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the flirt one? The biggest flirt I had was Nates Um.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I had six flirting points with him and ten friends
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: points with him. Okay, oh wow, so yeah, for Adam
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I had six flirting points, four friends. Nate I had
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: one flirting point, seven friends. For Farah I had zero
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: flirting points and three friends. And from Morgan I had
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: zero flirting points and two friends. Oh Man, Morgan and
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: I had the least good relationship. I was flirting all about,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I was friends friending all about. All of mine are
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: like higher than that. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I needn't
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: do it more, which is actually fair. Nah. No, um, well,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: next play through, we'll revisit. I am curious about the future.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: What's gonna happen in the next book And it's, Amanda
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: fun for you because you already know. But what are
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: your predictions. I think there's gonna be some other stronger
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: supernatural force and maybe another opposing government force. Um, and
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: they're going to find out. I think the secret is
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: gonna get out of the bag about your very special
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: detective blood. I feel like they're going to synthesize our
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: blood for the team. M m mm hmm. I could
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: see that. I could see that. Well. I guess we'll see.
