  >> Skylar: jasmine, oolong, green
• 0:05
  and white. Long ago, these four
• 0:08
  teas were skillfully brewed at the blissful brew.
• 0:11
  Then everything changed when the shops
• 0:13
  popularity threatened its existence.
• 0:16
  All Mister Okaron, the shops owner and tea
• 0:19
  master, could do was to recruit four teenage
• 0:22
  orphans to learn his trade and staff his
• 0:25
  shop. A year has passed since the orphans were
• 0:27
  hired, and although their skills have progressed, they
• 0:30
  still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything.
• 0:33
  But I believe that they have the potential to make the
• 0:36
  blissful brew the greatest tea shop in the
• 0:39
  world. Last time on
• 0:42
  benders and brews, an avatar Legends
• 0:44
  podcast smash broccoli, as he's.
• 0:47
  >> Cameron: Flying down the mountain, reaches behind him
• 0:50
  and earth bends a giant boulder and
• 0:53
  throws it at the carriage. I can't afford to
• 0:56
  take another 15 minutes.
• 0:57
  >> Skylar: Cannot, afford it. You just hurled a giant boulder down and it
• 1:00
  busted the cart. Guru tapiq is flying down as
• 1:02
  well to try to retrieve the thing she had stolen
• 1:05
  from his temple.
• 1:07
  >> Mikayla: Why do you continue to stand in my
• 1:10
  way when you're so
• 1:12
  obviously outmatched?
• 1:14
  >> Skylar: She reaches into her pocket, she holds out the turtle
• 1:17
  amulet, and he's just standing there in awe, and he kind of looks at
• 1:20
  you and he looks at her, and he's like,
• 1:22
  please, whatever you do, do not let her
• 1:25
  destroy that relic.
• 1:26
  >> Mikayla: Don't just stand there, you fool.
• 1:30
  Fix the cart.
• 1:32
  >> Skylar: She tosses the amulet up into the
• 1:35
  air. Guru Tupik, he sees it falling through the
• 1:37
  air. He's readying himself to sort of, like, air
• 1:40
  bend, maybe pull it towards him, or at the very least, just keep it from
• 1:43
  hitting the ground. And she is going to
• 1:46
  shoot flames upwards into
• 1:49
  the airstream that is now being created by Guru
• 1:52
  Tupiq, who, as he's pulling this amulet towards him
• 1:55
  with the air, she's going to fling fire into that
• 1:58
  very air, causing it to sort of follow
• 2:01
  this flow down towards the amulet and
• 2:04
  also towards Guru Tapiq
• 2:06
  himself.
• 2:07
  >> Mikayla: Well, are you going to stand
• 2:10
  there and let this old man die?
• 2:14
  it wouldn't be the first time.
• 2:17
  >> Skylar: You use the earth platform that you're on and you basically just
• 2:20
  tip it over. You, like, break it at the base so that it starts
• 2:23
  to fall so that you can lunge forth and
• 2:26
  push guru to peek out of the way. Madam
• 2:28
  Yang, she's rushing towards her
• 2:31
  cart, and she's hopping on the cart, begins
• 2:34
  to move, down the mountain path. It begins to pick
• 2:37
  up speed as it kind of goes further, further down
• 2:40
  the mountain, she starts to disappear in the distance.
• 2:43
  You get to the top of the cave, you find your friends
• 2:45
  there. They've taken out all of the hot leaf
• 2:48
  juice employees. One of them is still conscious.
• 2:51
  He has his mask off, and he's,
• 2:55
  backed up against the wall, kind of in a crouched position.
• 2:57
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna slap him.
• 2:59
  >> Cameron: Clearly was put into a trance or something.
• 3:02
  >> Bill: She does it with all of her employees.
• 3:05
  That's why they do whatever she says.
• 3:07
  >> Cameron: Let's just go to the factory. To the factory. Let's go to the factory. You
• 3:10
  don't gotta come in just when we get there. Tell
• 3:13
  us how to get in.
• 3:23
  >> Skylar: And welcome back, everybody, to another episode of Benders and Bruise.
• 3:26
  Episode seven from season three, not
• 3:29
  episode seven from season two or season one. That's right,
• 3:32
  we are in season three. And if you are
• 3:34
  not followed up up to see episode
• 3:37
  seven, then you are, You are in a mess,
• 3:40
  and you need to solve that.
• 3:42
  >> Mikayla: What are you doing here?
• 3:43
  >> Skylar: Yeah, what are you doing here? Go back. Go back and
• 3:45
  catch up to this episode and then listen to it.
• 3:48
  Okay, I'm never going to chase you away from
• 3:51
  listening to any of session zero heroes, but
• 3:54
  at least just get caught up first.
• 3:57
  It's the right thing to do. Whatever the case, we are going to go through
• 4:00
  everybody at the table, reintroduce who you are, who you're
• 4:03
  playing, and give us an interesting character fact so that we can get back into the
• 4:06
  action, because the gang is about to go
• 4:08
  to the homeland, proverbially
• 4:11
  speaking, of their arch nemesis, madam Yang.
• 4:14
  So starting with Cameron to my left. Cameron, who are
• 4:17
  you?
• 4:17
  >> Cameron: I am Bill.
• 4:18
  >> Skylar: Hello, Bill. Bill, tell me an interesting fact about
• 4:21
  yourself.
• 4:22
  >> Cameron: Bill's
• 4:24
  favorite smell
• 4:28
  is oranges.
• 4:30
  >> Skylar: Oranges. He's a big citrus fan.
• 4:33
  He really likes stopping down over in Florida and hanging
• 4:36
  out with, the crazy people.
• 4:37
  >> Cameron: What's a Florida?
• 4:39
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 4:39
  >> Mikayla: There we go.
• 4:40
  >> Skylar: Good answer. Good answer. All right, well, Bill likes
• 4:43
  to smell orange.
• 4:44
  >> Dave: On all his family sailing adventures.
• 4:47
  That prevented scurvy. That's right.
• 4:49
  >> Skylar: That does make a lot of sense.
• 4:50
  >> Cameron: Good cup of orange juice.
• 4:52
  >> Skylar: Got to get your vitamin C. Awesome. All right.
• 4:54
  >> Cameron: Angeli was a pirate.
• 4:55
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah. He's been on the sea a lot.
• 4:59
  >> Cameron: He told them about the wonders of oranges. and
• 5:02
  then that cruise never looked better.
• 5:03
  >> Skylar: I was gonna say, you guys are into the crew the second time.
• 5:06
  >> Cameron: They're like, all right, we've.
• 5:08
  >> Skylar: Ever since we got ahold of some.
• 5:10
  >> Dave: Oranges, you'll be surprised at how much more they
• 5:12
  smile. They don't have gingivitis.
• 5:15
  >> Skylar: Yes, that's true. All right,
• 5:18
  awesome. Jumping over to Connor.
• 5:20
  >> Cameron: Yes, I am playing Brock Lee.
• 5:23
  the earthbender?
• 5:24
  >> Skylar: Indeed.
• 5:25
  >> Cameron: his, fun fact is that he secretly
• 5:28
  knows Ash's actual last name.
• 5:31
  He just pretends he doesn't know.
• 5:33
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. So he's known for a while.
• 5:35
  >> Cameron: Yeah, he's known. He talks in his sleep.
• 5:37
  >> Skylar: So let me ask you this.
• 5:39
  Oh, that's fair. Did Brock know who
• 5:42
  Jasper Burtney was then, or the Burtney family
• 5:46
  name?
• 5:46
  >> Cameron: Sure.
• 5:51
  He, like. He monologues in his sleep.
• 5:53
  >> Skylar: My father, is.
• 5:54
  >> Cameron: Wait, hold on. Okay, okay. This is kind of my
• 5:57
  father. This is kind of important, because I said Bill
• 6:00
  doesn't dream. He has
• 6:02
  nightmares. The same reoccurring
• 6:05
  nightmare. Yeah, that has
• 6:07
  nothing to do with his dad or anything.
• 6:10
  >> Cameron: Oh, no, you see, you're having a nightmare over here, but you're
• 6:13
  monologuing over here, okay? You talk in your sleep.
• 6:15
  >> Cameron: I've never monologued my nightmare.
• 6:17
  >> Cameron: No, no. My father's
• 6:20
  name was Jasper. My first name
• 6:23
  is Ash.
• 6:24
  >> Skylar: My last name is Burton.
• 6:26
  >> Cameron: Here's my Social Security number.
• 6:30
  >> Cameron: It sounds like Brock's doing a lot of backpedaling here. Yeah,
• 6:33
  I always knew my best friend's name. You might.
• 6:38
  >> Cameron: Get it. It's like when you're not always new, right?
• 6:40
  >> Cameron: Right. Bill? A wink sent me.
• 6:44
  Yeah, you would have told me, right.
• 6:46
  >> Cameron: Bill, aka Ash, the name of
• 6:49
  with which I already knew you went by.
• 6:52
  >> Skylar: Nope.
• 6:52
  >> Cameron: Wink.
• 6:53
  >> Cameron: Whose father's name is Jasper.
• 6:57
  >> Skylar: I wonder if he knows what your mother's name is.
• 6:59
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I wonder that too.
• 7:01
  >> Cameron: Of course, I can't speak it
• 7:04
  here.
• 7:05
  >> Skylar: She who shall not be named. Jessica,
• 7:07
  obviously. Awesome. Well, that'll
• 7:10
  be interesting.
• 7:11
  >> Cameron: He secretly knows this is gonna be.
• 7:13
  >> Cameron: An interesting cart ride.
• 7:14
  >> Cameron: Like no one knows he knows I knew
• 7:17
  Bill.
• 7:18
  >> Mikayla: Brock barely knows he knows.
• 7:20
  >> Skylar: During the cart ride, Brock just leans over to everybody else. He's like,
• 7:23
  yeah, I actually already knew about it.
• 7:25
  >> Cameron: Yeah, he talks in his sleep.
• 7:27
  >> Mikayla: Don't ask me why.
• 7:29
  >> Cameron: Don't ask me why I'm around Bill while he's asleep.
• 7:32
  Don't ask that. But, you know, he just talks to his.
• 7:35
  >> Cameron: I just realized our fun facts could just be lies, so
• 7:38
  that's cool.
• 7:40
  >> Cameron: Straight up lies. Rewriting the
• 7:44
  entire story.
• 7:44
  >> Skylar: Well, with that being said, michaela, who are you playing? And what's
• 7:47
  a non lie? Interesting lie?
• 7:50
  >> Mikayla: Why don't I get a lie?
• 7:52
  >> Skylar: No.
• 7:52
  >> Mikayla: yeah, I'm Mikayla, and I play Micah. she's definitely
• 7:55
  the most loved in the group.
• 7:57
  >> Skylar: Ooh, got it.
• 7:57
  >> Cameron: Oh, that's a lie.
• 7:59
  >> Cameron: Okay, so there's the lie.
• 8:00
  >> Skylar: Out of the way. Let's go to the fun fact,
• 8:03
  to be fair.
• 8:05
  >> Mikayla: Fine. She's definitely the least liked in the group.
• 8:08
  Mika's fun fact is her
• 8:11
  favorite sound,
• 8:13
  you know, just gets her really peaceful recenters.
• 8:16
  Her asmr. Absolutely
• 8:19
  not that exists. What?
• 8:22
  >> Cameron: Sure.
• 8:22
  >> Skylar: Anybody that can, you know,
• 8:25
  there's microphones or you can just, you can. No, no.
• 8:28
  Somebody just comes over to your house.
• 8:29
  >> Cameron: Yeah, just let me just like a hypnotist.
• 8:32
  >> Skylar: Yeah. There are no ways.
• 8:34
  >> Mikayla: No. is just a
• 8:37
  soft, slow
• 8:40
  flowing stream.
• 8:41
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. All right. Very nice. That, you
• 8:44
  know, in a way that could kind of be
• 8:47
  asMr.
• 8:49
  >> Cameron: M sounds to put, you know.
• 8:51
  >> Mikayla: Sure. Skylar.
• 8:53
  >> Skylar: Fantastic.
• 8:53
  >> Mikayla: Moving on to the guy.
• 8:55
  >> Skylar: Last but not least, Dave. Dave, who you
• 8:58
  playing was an interesting character. Fact.
• 9:00
  >> Dave: Playing, well, the earth bender. And
• 9:03
  his interesting fact is that he's a,
• 9:06
  he's a big fan of daily
• 9:08
  comics in the local
• 9:11
  newspaper.
• 9:14
  he particularly likes one about
• 9:16
  what's called Bon Bon, about this,
• 9:19
  this, toad dog named Bon Bon, who's a
• 9:22
  little sarcastic.
• 9:26
  He's kind of a jerk to his owner.
• 9:29
  >> Skylar: This is just Garfield hate horse
• 9:32
  days.
• 9:36
  that's great. I like that. I like that. I mean, you think about it
• 9:39
  like, in Legend of Korra, which was like the
• 9:42
  generation after Aang. I mean, they had,
• 9:45
  like, m movies. They were making movies. So, I
• 9:48
  mean, it makes sense that during Aang's era, they could
• 9:50
  absolutely have comics, books
• 9:53
  with pictures.
• 9:55
  >> Dave: Yeah.
• 9:56
  >> Skylar: I mean, that's.
• 9:59
  >> Dave: Like 120 years later
• 10:02
  or. No, it's more than that, probably.
• 10:04
  >> Cameron: Well, Qatar is still alive.
• 10:05
  >> Skylar: That's true. I'd say, like,
• 10:08
  ish. Maybe 70.
• 10:10
  >> Mikayla: Ish.
• 10:11
  >> Cameron: 80, 90.
• 10:11
  >> Skylar: Yeah, 80, 90.
• 10:13
  >> Cameron: I'd say it's that big stretch.
• 10:15
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I don't think so.
• 10:16
  >> Dave: No, I'm.
• 10:17
  >> Cameron: Yeah, definitely could be fictionalized
• 10:20
  universe. Boom. Comics created, done.
• 10:21
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 10:23
  >> Cameron: You did it.
• 10:24
  >> Skylar: You realistic within the universe. It makes sense. I don't see
• 10:27
  why not.
• 10:27
  >> Cameron: What was secret?
• 10:27
  >> Skylar: Like a millionaire from his
• 10:29
  combined
• 10:32
  kid that eats foods and he's funny.
• 10:35
  I kind of like that idea.
• 10:38
  There's got to be a little bit more to it, but I feel like they could, they could figure it
• 10:41
  out. They could.
• 10:42
  >> Cameron: Fun with whoa.
• 10:42
  >> Skylar: Fun with whoa.
• 10:43
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 10:46
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah. Hey, when's, when's woe
• 10:48
  gonna start writing to the paper? His
• 10:51
  reviews?
• 10:52
  >> Dave: I don't know. I mean, right now, he just keeps him in his
• 10:55
  journal. Maybe just needs to build up a little more
• 10:57
  confidence.
• 11:02
  >> Cameron: I'm the confidence guy's barack.
• 11:05
  He's losing with confidence, but his,
• 11:07
  his.
• 11:08
  >> Skylar: Confidence just makes him get stuff
• 11:11
  done and such. Like, he's, he's not focused on,
• 11:14
  I think, sharing.
• 11:15
  >> Cameron: I think Brock would be the best mom motivational speaker in our
• 11:18
  group.
• 11:18
  >> Skylar: He would be. He fits the type of motivational speakers
• 11:21
  I feel like I've ever really seen, which are like, overhyped
• 11:24
  big guys that are like, I used to play football,
• 11:27
  and I'm like, ugh, another one. I used to play football.
• 11:30
  >> Cameron: Then my mom died.
• 11:31
  >> Cameron: Mom died.
• 11:32
  >> Skylar: I don't play football anymore, but I do these things.
• 11:35
  They always call them these things, these things. I'm
• 11:38
  scared.
• 11:38
  >> Cameron: One, get out of bed. Two, eat
• 11:41
  something.
• 11:42
  >> Cameron: Three, do things.
• 11:45
  >> Cameron: Do things. Now, that's the
• 11:48
  three steps to success.
• 11:50
  >> Skylar: It's pretty straightforward.
• 11:52
  >> Cameron: I mean, every motivational speaker.
• 11:53
  >> Cameron: No, like, every, like, instagram, like
• 11:56
  fitness.
• 11:57
  >> Cameron: I wake up at 04:00 a.m. and then I listen to a book on double
• 12:00
  speed.
• 12:02
  Then my wife and I, we have our mushroom
• 12:05
  coffee as we
• 12:08
  do sunrise yoga.
• 12:10
  >> Cameron: And then, I go stand in the shower for 2 hours straight, and.
• 12:12
  >> Cameron: Then I take a nap.
• 12:13
  >> Cameron: Because.
• 12:14
  >> Cameron: Because who in their right mind wakes up at 04:00 a.m. yeah, they.
• 12:17
  >> Cameron: Take a lot of.
• 12:17
  >> Skylar: And you're like, you're like, you're like, wait, wait, wait. But
• 12:20
  how am I supposed to replicate this lifestyle? I have a job.
• 12:23
  And then he's like, you guys don't.
• 12:25
  >> Skylar: Own your own companies.
• 12:26
  >> Skylar: Well, what the heck are you doing?
• 12:28
  >> Cameron: Your dad didn't die when you were 18 and gave
• 12:31
  you millions of dollars to live off of.
• 12:35
  >> Skylar: I don't understand.
• 12:37
  >> Dave: It's called drop shipping. Look it up.
• 12:41
  >> Skylar: You guys have heard of nfts?
• 12:42
  >> Cameron: You want to buy my book?
• 12:45
  >> Cameron: That's a real kicker.
• 12:47
  >> Skylar: At the end of the day, my name is Skylar. I'm the game master.
• 12:50
  I've been to probably half a dozen of these, inspirational
• 12:52
  speakers. And, yeah, it is pretty much the same concept just about
• 12:55
  every single time. They just want you to buy their book. So, do
• 12:58
  or do not buy their book as you so please.
• 13:01
  But what we will do is, and it won't cost
• 13:04
  you a penny, is we will allow you to join
• 13:07
  us for episode seven of season three.
• 13:14
  awesome. All right, welcome back to episode seven of
• 13:17
  season three. okay, so you guys all hopped
• 13:20
  into the cart, and you guys are riding off
• 13:23
  in the direction of, the
• 13:25
  end. The end.
• 13:27
  >> Cameron: What? Whoa. How did we get here?
• 13:29
  >> Cameron: Cliffhanger.
• 13:30
  >> Skylar: You guys are just standing there. There's a blank expanse in
• 13:33
  front of you, and you guys are, like, looking over the edge of it, thinking,
• 13:35
  we did it. Found the end. But why?
• 13:38
  Why are we here? Why would we want to
• 13:41
  be here. We still
• 13:43
  have, what, five more episodes before
• 13:46
  the end? How did we get here so fast? No, no,
• 13:49
  you guys aren't at the end. You guys are on your way
• 13:52
  to the town of,
• 13:55
  Zygon. I think it's Zygon.
• 13:57
  Zygon. Zigen what sounds right.
• 14:00
  >> Cameron: Zionist.
• 14:01
  >> Skylar: No, I think it's Zygote.
• 14:04
  >> Cameron: Zygon.
• 14:05
  >> Skylar: I g a n. You're the one who spelled it.
• 14:08
  Yeah, but I didn't make it up. These are, like, actual I guns.
• 14:12
  Probably. Zygom, zag, Zygon. I
• 14:15
  like that.
• 14:16
  >> Dave: That was. That's what Cameron was.
• 14:25
  >> Skylar: You guys are all piled into the cart. And the
• 14:28
  hot leaf juice employee who told you last time that his name
• 14:31
  is PI. P a I, is taking you
• 14:34
  to the outskirts of the town of Zygon.
• 14:37
  The town of Zygon has a sort of
• 14:39
  industrial district. So it has a number of
• 14:42
  different facilities and factories that are kind of
• 14:44
  scattered around the outskirts of this. This small
• 14:47
  town. It's small town, but, like, the outskirts, where
• 14:50
  the factories and stuff are, is pretty booming. You
• 14:53
  guys, arrive at kind of like the top of a hill
• 14:56
  overlooking a lot of this industrial district.
• 14:59
  I would say that the factories and so on and so forth are all kind of
• 15:02
  separated pretty nicely from each other so
• 15:05
  that, you know, there's a pretty decent amount of distance
• 15:08
  between one fence line and
• 15:11
  another one's wall line. but
• 15:14
  he, At the top of this hill, you guys look down
• 15:17
  and you see one specific
• 15:19
  factory that stands out among the rest. It's
• 15:22
  very possibly one of the largest factories
• 15:25
  located in this industrial district.
• 15:28
  And he points at it, and he.
• 15:29
  >> Bill: Says, that right there, that's
• 15:32
  the hot leaf juice factory. That's where
• 15:35
  I came from. Not originally. I
• 15:38
  was brought there as an orphan with
• 15:41
  a lot of other orphans, and
• 15:45
  she made us dig holes
• 15:48
  all day in the hot. No, she made us. She made
• 15:50
  us make dried tea,
• 15:53
  which she then sends out to all the
• 15:56
  other hot leaf juices that are out there.
• 15:59
  Okay, what do you. This is as far as I go. What do you guys want to
• 16:02
  know?
• 16:03
  >> Mikayla: Who's the most susceptible to a clipboard?
• 16:06
  >> Bill: Hold on. There's a lot of, questions going on at the same time. I can
• 16:09
  only answer so much at a time. One at a time.
• 16:12
  >> Mikayla: Obviously not broccoli.
• 16:14
  >> Dave: What kind of food do they serve in the
• 16:16
  break room?
• 16:17
  >> Bill: Oh, it's not great. It's the stuff
• 16:20
  called. They call it hardtack.
• 16:24
  It's basically old dried bread. That's
• 16:26
  really tough.
• 16:27
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you leave a pebble review for
• 16:30
  it.
• 16:30
  >> Bill: They give you like, this real, just tough,
• 16:33
  stringy meat. Just a little bit
• 16:36
  of it that you can kind of try to put
• 16:39
  in your tard tack to make like, little sandwiches.
• 16:41
  >> Dave: Ouch. Okay. From the jabs into my ribs.
• 16:44
  I think, someone else had a question.
• 16:48
  >> Bill: Okay, where can we get in?
• 16:51
  Where can you get in? Oh, yeah, no, that's a,
• 16:54
  that's actually a pretty good question. Okay, so.
• 16:57
  >> Skylar: And you guys look, so let me, let me kind of describe factor. So the
• 17:00
  factory itself sits in the midst of this big, like,
• 17:03
  walled in space, right.
• 17:05
  on the kind of northern side
• 17:08
  of this facility. There's a bunch of smaller sort of
• 17:11
  warehouse buildings. And those, you
• 17:14
  can see people in like, little carts that are like, going into the
• 17:17
  factory and then coming out with like some boxes on their little
• 17:20
  carts, taking them into these warehouses. And then
• 17:23
  they must be probably storing things there, right.
• 17:26
  over on the sort of western side of this
• 17:28
  proverbial campus, you see, a lot of
• 17:31
  small trees. And you see people that are out there
• 17:34
  harvesting either fruits or the leaves of these
• 17:37
  trees. Whatever the case is kind of the harvesting
• 17:39
  farming area for the tea production. Then you
• 17:42
  have the factory itself, which is kind of on the eastern side
• 17:45
  of this campus.
• 17:48
  you ask how you get inside.
• 17:50
  >> Bill: he says, well, over at the front of
• 17:53
  the whole facility, you can see there's the front
• 17:56
  entrance.
• 17:56
  >> Skylar: And you look down there and you see kind of a pathway leading from
• 17:59
  town to this facility. And you see there's a nice
• 18:02
  line of carts and what seems to be like maybe
• 18:05
  farmers or just a variety of different people that
• 18:08
  are all in this big line. They all have like,
• 18:11
  goods of different kinds, probably their harvest
• 18:14
  that they're bringing to hot leaf juice to sell.
• 18:16
  Right? And then he points to the back
• 18:19
  end of the campus, and he says.
• 18:21
  >> Bill: Over there, that's where all the farmers and
• 18:24
  so on and so forth leave when they're done, when they
• 18:27
  drop off their stuff, they go there. They get paid by the gate
• 18:30
  guy, and then they leave. Well, that's, that's
• 18:33
  where they, the farmers and everybody all, they leave through there. So
• 18:35
  you kind of like bring your goods in through the front.
• 18:38
  You go around to where the warehouse is. You drop off
• 18:42
  the stuff. They. Then you go to the exit, they
• 18:44
  pay you, and then you leave.
• 18:46
  >> Bill: let's see, what else? Oh, over on the
• 18:49
  harvesting side, I do remember that there was a chunk of
• 18:52
  the, the wood fence, because you.
• 18:54
  >> Skylar: Guys see that there's like, there's walls on the side
• 18:56
  where the factory is, but over on the side where the harvesting is,
• 18:59
  it's more of, like, a wood fence. And, of course, you do see
• 19:02
  that there are several watchtowers. Like, one watchtower in each
• 19:05
  corner, where there's a hotleaf juice elite
• 19:08
  employee that kind of overlooks their
• 19:10
  watchtower. Whatever the case, you guys do
• 19:13
  notice, kind of over to the back corner
• 19:16
  of the harvesting area, there is a chunk of fence that looks like
• 19:19
  maybe it kind of collapsed a little bit. so there's that
• 19:22
  as an option as well. Also, just want to establish really
• 19:25
  quick, it was a bit of a ride in the cart, and
• 19:28
  I would say that you guys had some time to rest, so you guys got kind of
• 19:31
  like the lowest tier of rest, which is just like, clearing one.
• 19:34
  Fatigue. And I think one condition as well.
• 19:36
  >> Mikayla: Real good. I'm not angry.
• 19:37
  >> Cameron: No more insecure about my voice
• 19:40
  crack.
• 19:41
  >> Skylar: You've had time to, get over it. All
• 19:44
  right. What other questions do you have for little pie?
• 19:47
  >> Mikayla: Where's Madame Yang's office?
• 19:49
  >> Skylar: Oh, that's a great question. right there. Any points you
• 19:52
  can actually see coming out of sort of like the center
• 19:55
  of the factory itself, the actual factory building.
• 19:58
  There's sort of like these. This glass office that
• 20:01
  kind of sticks out from the top of it.
• 20:03
  >> Bill: That right there, that's Madam Yang's office. It's
• 20:06
  almost completely made of glass because she wants to be able
• 20:09
  to see out across the campus at what's going
• 20:11
  on and also see the production floor in the
• 20:14
  factory below her.
• 20:15
  >> Cameron: Do they check the carts when, when you
• 20:18
  go in, or when do they check the contents of carts and
• 20:21
  farmers and such?
• 20:23
  >> Bill: Yeah, there's a couple of employees that check the
• 20:26
  carts, by the gate. I don't. I
• 20:29
  never got to see how much they check them because those are the elite guys. I was
• 20:32
  inside the factory for the most part, although I did get to go to
• 20:34
  the harvesting site once in a while. But they. Yeah, they
• 20:37
  check the carts. I don't know how much they check them.
• 20:40
  >> Skylar: Oh.
• 20:40
  >> Bill: But they do have to swap out for lunch and
• 20:43
  stuff.
• 20:44
  >> Cameron: So what I'm thinking is you're
• 20:47
  doing.
• 20:48
  >> Mikayla: A, rock hailstorm onto Madame Yang's office.
• 20:50
  Perfect. I think.
• 20:51
  >> Cameron: Well, I mean, if you suggest
• 20:54
  it, I'm down.
• 20:57
  We could just be, done, with it now. On our way.
• 21:00
  >> Mikayla: Exactly.
• 21:01
  >> Dave: I mean, and have every hot leaf
• 21:04
  juice employee after
• 21:07
  us. Well, there's thousands in
• 21:10
  here.
• 21:11
  >> Cameron: I mean, they don't all have to survive
• 21:14
  the rocks.
• 21:15
  >> Cameron: I think sneaking and not
• 21:18
  making loud noises Brock is our best
• 21:21
  way.
• 21:22
  >> Cameron: But, like,
• 21:25
  speak up, rock.
• 21:26
  >> Cameron: What?
• 21:27
  >> Cameron: I'm just, like, kind of with Mika here.
• 21:28
  >> Skylar: Like, we kind of just end it all, like, right now. End it
• 21:31
  all. Pretty big
• 21:33
  facility.
• 21:35
  >> Cameron: We're just trying to get the will and get out.
• 21:37
  >> Cameron: Yeah, but that's, like, way more work.
• 21:40
  >> Cameron: That feels like less work than ended all.
• 21:45
  >> Skylar: Create a siege on an entire
• 21:47
  factory facility. Filled with orphans, no
• 21:50
  less.
• 21:51
  >> Mikayla: They can't escape.
• 21:52
  >> Cameron: What are they gonna do, tell their parents?
• 21:55
  >> Skylar: Oh, just the office.
• 21:57
  >> Cameron: What are they gonna do? Tell their parents?
• 21:59
  >> Dave: Oh, gosh.
• 22:01
  >> Mikayla: Sheesh.
• 22:02
  >> Skylar: If you're an orphanage pie standing right, I
• 22:05
  sincerely apologize.
• 22:08
  >> Cameron: Okay, fine. This will sneak in.
• 22:10
  >> Skylar: Dude.
• 22:11
  >> Cameron: Stupid plan. Whatever.
• 22:14
  >> Cameron: We don't have a plan yet. Well, it's just not
• 22:16
  what you wanted to do.
• 22:18
  >> Cameron: I mean, I guess we don't have to kill everybody in the
• 22:21
  facility.
• 22:22
  >> Mikayla: Well, I wasn't suggesting killing anybody.
• 22:24
  >> Cameron: Well, you were. do you think that everyone's gonna be
• 22:27
  unscathed if you rain down?
• 22:29
  >> Mikayla: It's literally just her office.
• 22:35
  It wouldn't take much.
• 22:36
  >> Cameron: I heard lay siege to the entire factory. That's what I heard.
• 22:39
  >> Mikayla: Well, maybe you need to get your ears clean, Brock. I've been telling
• 22:42
  him that for a while.
• 22:43
  >> Skylar: Well, you know, I feel like it has hydration
• 22:46
  before.
• 22:47
  >> Mikayla: Your monthly showers are, however, off. Did you take
• 22:49
  them? Maybe you need to do it more frequently. Just saying.
• 22:52
  Just saying.
• 22:53
  >> Cameron: Just pinky in his ear and pulls out, like, an entire ear of
• 22:55
  corn.
• 22:56
  >> Skylar: Oh, gosh.
• 22:59
  >> Dave: What are these people? So
• 23:02
  we have the elite guards in the guard towers
• 23:04
  also checking the carts
• 23:07
  going through. are there any
• 23:10
  employees going in and out or any
• 23:13
  other personnel that we see moving
• 23:15
  around?
• 23:16
  >> Skylar: So, for the most part, the people that you would see are.
• 23:19
  There's a handful of just kind of your average employees. Employees
• 23:21
  that are harvesting over in the harvest kind of area,
• 23:24
  picking fruit or leaves off of the trees.
• 23:27
  there's obviously all the farmers that are bringing goods
• 23:29
  in, things that aren't being grown at the hot leaf
• 23:32
  juice. factory facility. and then, obviously
• 23:35
  leaving. there's a handful that are.
• 23:38
  That all have, like, hand carts, and they're moving
• 23:41
  finished tea products from the factory
• 23:44
  into the warehouses for deliveries or whatever
• 23:46
  else. And then there's a very
• 23:49
  small group. Well, there's obviously the elites
• 23:52
  in the watchtowers themselves. And then there's a very small group
• 23:55
  over at the exit that are basically paying the farmers
• 23:58
  as they leave. there's, like, a little booth,
• 24:01
  and there's, like, a dude inside the booth. And then there's
• 24:03
  the two hot leaf juice
• 24:06
  elite. Whatever you want to call them.
• 24:09
  I say elite in the sense that they're wearing, like, a. More, like, full
• 24:12
  bodied, almost like the people in
• 24:15
  squid games.
• 24:16
  >> Dave: No, I think what you were asking Brock about
• 24:19
  the carts. Maybe we could just hitch a
• 24:22
  ride in on one of those.
• 24:24
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, we have our own carts.
• 24:26
  >> Cameron: We do have our own cart pulled by some ostrich
• 24:29
  horses.
• 24:30
  >> Mikayla: Couldn't we just, like, load them up and just be like, hey,
• 24:33
  what do I get for two
• 24:36
  cherries I found on this tree?
• 24:38
  >> Cameron: Or we could, quote
• 24:41
  unquote commandeer, winking as loudly as I
• 24:43
  can, someone else's cart,
• 24:46
  and then just have you guys stow away in there.
• 24:49
  >> Mikayla: But if they check the carts, I mean, we have plenty of
• 24:52
  carts. We wouldn't have to
• 24:55
  hide, and we could
• 24:58
  all get inside, and we wouldn't have to worry about the
• 25:00
  carts.
• 25:03
  >> Dave: Well, why don't we just buy a cart for.
• 25:05
  >> Mikayla: We have carts.
• 25:07
  >> Dave: No, but we need a cart full of product.
• 25:11
  >> Cameron: That's what I'm saying.
• 25:12
  >> Dave: What if we need to have someplace to
• 25:15
  hide?
• 25:16
  >> Cameron: Yeah, we can't just have a cart full of people.
• 25:18
  >> Dave: Or we just pay them. We just pay them to. I don't know
• 25:21
  if they'd risk taking us in there.
• 25:24
  >> Cameron: I don't know.
• 25:25
  >> Mikayla: We can't just, like, take oak leaves off of a tree,
• 25:28
  fill up all of our carts, and be like, hey, this is really
• 25:31
  fine. Hibiscus, tea leaves.
• 25:36
  >> Cameron: Weirder things have worked.
• 25:38
  >> Mikayla: Exactly.
• 25:40
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 25:40
  >> Dave: It's not the worst idea.
• 25:42
  >> Skylar: I mean, how does this work?
• 25:43
  >> Cameron: So what I'm thinking is, y'all try that,
• 25:46
  and then if it doesn't work, I'll be tailing behind you with a
• 25:49
  clipboard, and I can talk our
• 25:52
  way in.
• 25:53
  >> Skylar: This is exactly what I said when you guys were in the trials, and I
• 25:56
  was like, wow. You guys were like, on number four, and I said, wow, way
• 25:59
  to use trial number one solution for trial number four. And
• 26:02
  now I'm like, wow, way to use episode
• 26:05
  number whatever. Cause it was last
• 26:08
  season.
• 26:08
  >> Mikayla: Bring out the whole lotion.
• 26:09
  >> Cameron: Bring out the whole lotion.
• 26:10
  >> Skylar: Way to use episode, eight to
• 26:13
  solve episode number seven,
• 26:15
  season three, whatever you call it.
• 26:17
  >> Cameron: Laziness. I call it a callback.
• 26:19
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 26:21
  >> Mikayla: You know, it's worked before. Why
• 26:24
  can't it work again?
• 26:25
  >> Cameron: Why fix what ain't broke?
• 26:28
  >> Mikayla: Okay, let's go fill up our carts with leaves, and let's get
• 26:30
  out of here.
• 26:31
  >> Skylar: You have plenty of trees to choose from.
• 26:33
  >> Mikayla: Exactly. We all can choose a different one.
• 26:35
  >> Skylar: All right, so are you guys going with
• 26:38
  that? Okay. All right, sounds good. so you guys
• 26:41
  start, you know, through a variety of methods. I'm sure, you
• 26:43
  know, Brock and glow probably use some earth bending. And
• 26:46
  Mika, maybe you're just shaking leaves. All right,
• 26:49
  sounds good. Whatever works. Hey, but whatever the case. Yeah, you
• 26:52
  get a bunch of leaves together and you start filling up
• 26:55
  your cart that you brought along with you. And
• 26:58
  yeah, you get a pretty decent amount of fill on
• 27:01
  this cart, I'd say. Yeah. Right after about like an
• 27:04
  hour.
• 27:04
  >> Mikayla: Let's go get in line. Yeah, I guess.
• 27:06
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. You guys get in line.
• 27:08
  >> Cameron: Before that happens,
• 27:11
  I'm going to. While we're filling up the
• 27:13
  cart, I'm going to
• 27:17
  take pie.
• 27:18
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 27:19
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna lead them off to the side and be
• 27:22
  like, hey, yeah, I think we're just done
• 27:25
  with you. I think you can just take off now.
• 27:27
  >> Mikayla: Oh, okay.
• 27:28
  >> Cameron: So.
• 27:29
  >> Mikayla: Done with you.
• 27:31
  >> Skylar: You made that sound dark. Yeah, no, like you.
• 27:34
  >> Cameron: Thank you for helping us.
• 27:35
  >> Bill: I'm glad I could help. if I could ask
• 27:38
  if you get the opportunity. I mean, those
• 27:41
  guys. I know I'm not the only one that wanted to get out of there.
• 27:44
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah, no, if we get a chance, like, to free them. Yeah,
• 27:47
  I definitely want to do that. Don't worry about that.
• 27:50
  >> Bill: Hey, can I ask you a favor?
• 27:52
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 27:52
  >> Bill: Before I go.
• 27:53
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 27:53
  >> Bill: Can I borrow five yuan?
• 27:55
  >> Cameron: See, the funny thing was, I was just about to give you yuan.
• 27:58
  >> Bill: Oh, really?
• 27:59
  >> Cameron: Yeah. I've, got ten yuan with your name on
• 28:01
  it.
• 28:02
  >> Skylar: Ah.
• 28:02
  >> Cameron: With one condition.
• 28:03
  >> Bill: Yeah.
• 28:04
  >> Cameron: And I pull out ten yuan out of my pouch I have.
• 28:07
  And I hand it to him. I said, on one condition. When you go to the
• 28:10
  fire nation, you never saw
• 28:12
  me.
• 28:14
  >> Bill: Okay.
• 28:15
  >> Cameron: That's it?
• 28:17
  >> Bill: You don't want me to, like, say.
• 28:19
  >> Cameron: Hey to your family or I'm as good
• 28:22
  as dead.
• 28:23
  >> Skylar: Whoa.
• 28:24
  >> Cameron: So just don't even mention you meant.
• 28:26
  >> Bill: Man, I know what that's like.
• 28:27
  >> Cameron: I guess. I guess you would, wouldn't you?
• 28:30
  >> Bill: All right, well, I. Yeah, okay. I won't say anything
• 28:32
  anyway. I'll just. But is it all right that
• 28:35
  I. I tell him what's going on here? Like, what
• 28:38
  she's doing?
• 28:39
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah, no, I don't care about that.
• 28:41
  >> Bill: Oh, okay.
• 28:41
  >> Skylar: Just.
• 28:42
  >> Bill: I'll leave your name.
• 28:43
  >> Cameron: If you could get people to come help stop this. Go for it. Yeah,
• 28:46
  it's just I had nothing to do it. I was never here.
• 28:49
  >> Bill: Okay. I can. I can.
• 28:51
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 28:51
  >> Cameron: Okay, cool. And I reach my hand out to give him a
• 28:54
  handshake.
• 28:54
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, he's. He's eagerly. He, like, takes your hand in both hands.
• 28:57
  >> Bill: He's like, thank you so much, mister. I really appreciate it.
• 29:00
  I'm.
• 29:00
  >> Skylar: I'm cheap. Arachel.
• 29:03
  >> Cameron: He just changed his voice and his
• 29:05
  name.
• 29:06
  >> Skylar: I really like dragons.
• 29:09
  No, no. Anyway, yeah, okay, so you. Yeah, he
• 29:12
  shakes your hand, and he's got a little bit of a tear coming down his eye,
• 29:15
  and. And then he, he waves goodbye and he heads off
• 29:18
  into town, kind of like really
• 29:21
  walking the opposite direction of the, hot
• 29:24
  lead leaf juice factory.
• 29:27
  >> Cameron: Okay. And so after he's leaving, I'm gonna just grab
• 29:30
  leaves off a nearby tree, and then come walking back to the
• 29:33
  cart and toss that.
• 29:34
  >> Skylar: Toss a small. Everybody else has been beating the heck
• 29:37
  out of trees and filling it up, and you toss, like, a handful, and.
• 29:39
  >> Cameron: You'Re like, let's go and hop in line with them.
• 29:42
  Yeah.
• 29:43
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good.

• 30:36
  All right, so you guys get in line behind the farmers. You hear,
• 30:39
  you know, some talk and stuff like that. Some of the farmers are complaining.
• 30:42
  They're like, well, they keep telling us.
• 30:44
  >> Skylar: The prices are going down, but thing
• 30:47
  is, I already got a whole field
• 30:50
  full of tea stuff. Who else am
• 30:53
  I supposed to take it to?
• 30:54
  >> Skylar: You know what I'm saying? They're like, yeah, yeah, I
• 30:57
  know what you're saying. You know, and they're just kind of talking back and forth, stuff like
• 30:59
  that. Finally gets your turn to get
• 31:02
  into hot leaf juice, and one of the
• 31:05
  employees steps forward, and he starts kind of looking in
• 31:07
  your, your cart, and he says, what are you.
• 31:11
  What are you guys bringing in today?
• 31:14
  >> Cameron: Only the finest tea leaves
• 31:17
  on are from our side of the earth kingdom, sir.
• 31:20
  >> Skylar: Okay, what kind of tea leaves.
• 31:24
  >> Cameron: Don'T,
• 31:25
  >> Mikayla: Hibiscus tea leaves.
• 31:26
  >> Skylar: Hibiscus tea leaves. Hibiscus. all right,
• 31:29
  some peppermint he kind of, like. He,
• 31:32
  like, peeks inside. He's like, is it just mixed in
• 31:35
  there?
• 31:36
  >> Mikayla: I thought, we had different carts.
• 31:37
  >> Cameron: It's a patented blend.
• 31:38
  >> Skylar: You only have one cart.
• 31:39
  >> Cameron: It's a patented blend.
• 31:41
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. Okay. It's a patented blend of hibiscus. Hibiscus and
• 31:43
  mint.
• 31:44
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 31:44
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 31:47
  >> Skylar: I don't know. Hey, you guys, do you, He goes, all
• 31:50
  right, sounds good. you guys been here before?
• 31:52
  >> Cameron: no, sir. First time.
• 31:54
  >> Skylar: All right, so what you're gonna want to do is follow the path here. You're
• 31:57
  gonna go around the factory, okay? And then, in
• 32:00
  the back, over by the warehouse, there's gonna be a guy that's over there,
• 32:02
  and he's gonna look over the stuff. He's just gonna double
• 32:05
  check, you know, quality control and all that. they'll
• 32:08
  load it in for you, and then once your cart's empty, you
• 32:11
  can just take it around on the exit, and they'll give, you your pay.
• 32:14
  All right?
• 32:16
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 32:17
  >> Mikayla: I am cappy. Sean.
• 32:19
  >> Cameron: Thank you, sir. Have a great day.
• 32:21
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 32:21
  >> Skylar: You as well. Next. Then you
• 32:23
  guys go inside. You
• 32:26
  are inside the campus. you walk
• 32:29
  through the front entryway with the,
• 32:32
  watchtowers kind of high overhead
• 32:35
  of you, as the employees in them kind of look
• 32:38
  down at the people coming into their facility and kind of watch
• 32:40
  as they start making their way around to the
• 32:43
  warehouses before kind of turning their attention back to
• 32:46
  the front to see who's coming in next.
• 32:49
  >> Cameron: I just realized we still have that gem.
• 32:53
  What happened to that gem?
• 32:54
  >> Skylar: I have not said a single dang
• 32:57
  thing about that gem because I was curious
• 33:00
  when you'd remember that you had it. And I also was like, I
• 33:03
  wonder when he'll use it. I'm not saying that this is the time.
• 33:05
  I'm not necessarily making that claim.
• 33:08
  >> Skylar: I'm just.
• 33:08
  >> Skylar: I'm excited for when the opportunity arrives.
• 33:11
  >> Dave: I was hoping when we were in that cave with
• 33:14
  the lake that we would have accidentally
• 33:17
  awakened the spirit, and then the spirits would have to battle
• 33:20
  each other.
• 33:21
  >> Cameron: That would've been such a kaiju battle.
• 33:23
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that would've been pretty cool.
• 33:25
  >> Cameron: We don't know what this. Totally off
• 33:28
  topic. We don't know what the gem does.
• 33:31
  >> Skylar: You.
• 33:31
  >> Cameron: We just know that it was the life source of a rock mob.
• 33:34
  >> Skylar: It was the heart of a mountain. The heart of a mountain
• 33:37
  or a mountain spirit?
• 33:38
  >> Cameron: That is so vague.
• 33:40
  >> Skylar: It is very vague.
• 33:42
  >> Cameron: Mount times.
• 33:44
  >> Cameron: Well, it's unleashed a mountain
• 33:47
  monster.
• 33:48
  >> Mikayla: What? Absolutely not, bro.
• 33:49
  >> Skylar: Why?
• 33:50
  >> Cameron: Is this what you're saying? As we're pushing the cart through?
• 33:52
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I was talking to the disembodied narrator voice. Didn't you hear him?
• 33:55
  >> Mikayla: No. You can't just.
• 33:57
  >> Skylar: No, bruh. You can't unleash a
• 33:59
  monster on, this facility.
• 34:02
  >> Mikayla: Why would you do that? You're literally. We literally just said we weren't
• 34:05
  gonna kill everybody.
• 34:06
  >> Cameron: I mean, you said that.
• 34:07
  >> Skylar: Ah, classic brat.
• 34:10
  >> Dave: Come on, bro. Give a care.
• 34:12
  >> Cameron: Fine. Whatever.
• 34:14
  >> Skylar: Rule for care. Where's Yang's office? Let's
• 34:17
  just.
• 34:18
  >> Mikayla: That big glass thing in the sky.
• 34:21
  >> Cameron: Hey, look at that. Okay, so now we just go there.
• 34:23
  >> Cameron: You know what could really do some damage up there?
• 34:27
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you're just gonna throw a gem up there, aren't you? I don't know what it
• 34:29
  does.
• 34:30
  >> Mikayla: Absolutely not.
• 34:31
  >> Cameron: It'd be funny.
• 34:31
  >> Dave: All right, so we're definitely.
• 34:33
  >> Mikayla: It's a heart of a monster. Mountain monster.
• 34:35
  >> Cameron: It could be a good distraction. Yeah,
• 34:39
  see, there's a monster just terrorizing
• 34:42
  the fact.
• 34:42
  >> Mikayla: That seems like it'd be pretty important. We don't
• 34:45
  want Madame Yang to get her hands on that. Okay?
• 34:48
  >> Dave: Ooh. All right, so we don't.
• 34:51
  >> Mikayla: She won't let her go once. We don't need to give
• 34:53
  her something else.
• 34:56
  >> Cameron: I mean, that's fair.
• 34:58
  >> Mikayla: Exactly. Okay. Yeah.
• 35:00
  but we can't just, like, leave the line because people
• 35:03
  are already inside the
• 35:05
  office.
• 35:07
  >> Cameron: What line? For the office.
• 35:09
  >> Cameron: We got held back, bro.
• 35:10
  >> Skylar: No, no, no.
• 35:11
  >> Mikayla: You guys are in line with the.
• 35:13
  >> Skylar: With our car
• 35:15
  section.
• 35:16
  >> Cameron: I know a shortcut.
• 35:18
  >> Skylar: You know a short?
• 35:19
  >> Cameron: Yes, directly towards.
• 35:21
  >> Mikayla: If we leave the line. Yeah, they're gonna
• 35:24
  come after us.
• 35:25
  >> Cameron: Okay, how about just one of us leave the line?
• 35:27
  >> Mikayla: Okay, go ahead.
• 35:29
  >> Cameron: Me. Bill, you needn't want me to
• 35:32
  go. Leave the line.
• 35:33
  >> Cameron: I'll go with you.
• 35:34
  >> Mikayla: It was your idea.
• 35:35
  >> Dave: Let's go take out that. The guard in the
• 35:38
  watchtower, and then we can go straight to the.
• 35:40
  >> Cameron: Oh, I can do that.
• 35:42
  >> Skylar: Okay, go do it.
• 35:42
  >> Cameron: Is there a ladder or something?
• 35:44
  >> Mikayla: There's multiple in the watchtower.
• 35:45
  >> Dave: Sneak up there.
• 35:46
  >> Cameron: Yeah, let's sneak up there.
• 35:48
  >> Mikayla: How many watchtowers are they? And how close are they?
• 35:51
  >> Skylar: so there'd be, like, four watchtowers. They're pretty distanced from each
• 35:53
  other.
• 35:54
  >> Cameron: Oh, sick. Oh, yeah. Climbing up one.
• 35:56
  >> Skylar: Which. Which one in particular? So there's one in, like, each corner of the
• 35:58
  king closest to it.
• 36:00
  >> Dave: Did you say the fields that their
• 36:03
  harvesters are working in, are those outside?
• 36:05
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 36:06
  >> Dave: Compound.
• 36:07
  >> Skylar: Yes. Well, they. There's no
• 36:09
  fence or wall or anything that separates it from the compound.
• 36:12
  There's a wooden fence instead of a wall
• 36:15
  that goes around the outskirts of that
• 36:18
  section. Oh, yeah. All right, so you are, bill,
• 36:21
  you are climbing the watchtower. Nearest to you, I
• 36:24
  would say, is probably there's either the one
• 36:26
  closer to the exit on the factory
• 36:29
  side or the closer to the entry on the factory
• 36:32
  side. Cause you guys are kind of closer to the factory side right now.
• 36:35
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 36:35
  >> Skylar: Okay, so which of those two.
• 36:37
  >> Cameron: Well, I assume we're near the entrance still.
• 36:39
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the problem. Okay, that makes sense. Okay, so you sneak
• 36:42
  over towards that direction and you start to
• 36:45
  climb up the ladder to
• 36:48
  this watchtower. You, are going to, I'm
• 36:51
  gonna say, push your luck.
• 36:52
  >> Cameron: Oh, boy.
• 36:53
  >> Skylar: Okay, this is a risky situation, and you're
• 36:56
  attempting to get up there without the guard noticing you and
• 36:59
  basically knock him out.
• 37:01
  >> Cameron: Five. Five.
• 37:02
  >> Skylar: All right, so you start to make your way up the ladder, and
• 37:05
  as you come to the top, you hear somebody on top say, oh,
• 37:08
  is it.
• 37:08
  >> Bill: Time for shift change?
• 37:09
  >> Skylar: Hey, who are you? You're not supposed to be up
• 37:12
  here.
• 37:14
  >> Cameron: What? Oh, I got lost on the
• 37:17
  tour.
• 37:17
  >> Bill: You got lost on the tour and you climbed a ladder?
• 37:19
  >> Cameron: Yeah, so I could get a better view of where my tour mates
• 37:22
  are.
• 37:23
  >> Skylar: Oh, that's pretty good. Roll a trick. Roll a trick.
• 37:26
  >> Cameron: What is this? Passion?
• 37:27
  >> Skylar: Oh, no. Creativity. Creativity.
• 37:29
  >> Dave: Sorry.
• 37:29
  >> Cameron: Frick. Hey.
• 37:33
  >> Skylar: You still get to pick one. I feel like that's the one that gets picked. Like,
• 37:36
  Nate, I'm not, I'm not disagreeing by any means,
• 37:39
  but it does just. Yeah, yeah.
• 37:41
  >> Cameron: They over commit. They're deceived for some time. I feel like that
• 37:44
  works with what I said.
• 37:45
  >> Skylar: He says, oh, okay. who's your group? You're
• 37:48
  one of the. You must be from, one of the farmer groups or something. Yeah.
• 37:51
  Okay, who's your. Who's your group?
• 37:53
  >> Cameron: I climbed up to join them.
• 37:54
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:54
  >> Cameron: Okay. Yeah. I think.
• 37:56
  >> Skylar: Is it that one?
• 37:57
  >> Cameron: I think it's that one.
• 37:58
  >> Skylar: Is it that one?
• 37:59
  >> Cameron: No, I think they're over there.
• 38:01
  >> Skylar: Is it that one?
• 38:02
  >> Cameron: And I'm kind of like, like trying to go around the
• 38:05
  back of him to look at a different.
• 38:06
  >> Skylar: Well, why would they be over there?
• 38:08
  >> Cameron: I think they're over there. I don't.
• 38:10
  >> Skylar: Ugh.
• 38:10
  >> Cameron: look for purple. We were all wearing purple except
• 38:13
  for me.
• 38:17
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Why didn't you show up in uniform today? I didn't get
• 38:19
  looking out.
• 38:21
  >> Cameron: I didn't get the memo. As I step behind him and take off
• 38:24
  my bo step and I just whack him on the top of the
• 38:26
  head as I back up.
• 38:28
  >> Skylar: All right, all right. I'm gonna have you do, one more
• 38:31
  push your luck.
• 38:32
  >> Cameron: It's not push your luck. It's not even, like, an attack roll.
• 38:34
  >> Skylar: Well, that's not really. I mean, you could do
• 38:37
  strike, but do you really want him to, like, have full fatigue
• 38:40
  and conditions?
• 38:41
  >> Cameron: I just wanna knock him out.
• 38:43
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 38:44
  >> Cameron: Snooze button to the.
• 38:45
  >> Skylar: You can do push your luck. And I'll give you a plus one on this one
• 38:48
  because you tricked him and he's over
• 38:51
  committing.
• 38:51
  >> Cameron: 1010.
• 38:52
  >> Skylar: Okay, perfect. Okay, so you succeed. Okay. So it's just full
• 38:55
  success. you, him on the head,
• 38:58
  your classic bill's, bo staff
• 39:00
  donk. And, he kind of just crumples to the
• 39:03
  ground. He's unconscious.
• 39:05
  >> Cameron: Okay, now stage phase
• 39:08
  two of the ultimate phase two. I
• 39:11
  see if he's got any keys.
• 39:13
  >> Skylar: No, he does not have any keys.
• 39:15
  >> Cameron: What does he have?
• 39:17
  >> Skylar: His uniform and a bow
• 39:20
  and quiver of arrows.
• 39:22
  >> Cameron: Oh, okay. Okay. well, and I
• 39:25
  am going to take off his
• 39:27
  uniform.
• 39:28
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 39:29
  >> Cameron: And I'm gonna put it.
• 39:32
  >> Skylar: I'll just play the jazz music that we used for meeting.
• 39:35
  >> Cameron: I would put on his uniform.
• 39:37
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 39:37
  >> Cameron: And I'm gonna take. Take his bow and arrows, and I'm
• 39:40
  just gonna slide it over my shoulder.
• 39:43
  yeah, I've got it.
• 39:45
  >> Skylar: It does come with a mask, too.
• 39:46
  >> Cameron: Cause these are sick.
• 39:47
  >> Skylar: I was gonna say these are the elite guards. These are the same type
• 39:50
  of hot leaf juice employees that you guys, like,
• 39:52
  fought that Madame Yang usually keeps close by her whenever
• 39:55
  she's in need of.
• 39:57
  >> Cameron: Doing this kind of stuff. Does it happen to have anything up in this tower with them?
• 40:00
  >> Skylar: there's not really much. I mean, it's really just a watchtower to keep an
• 40:03
  eye on employees. There might be, like, a notepad or something that they can
• 40:06
  take notes on.
• 40:07
  >> Cameron: Rope.
• 40:08
  >> Skylar: Sure. There might be, like, some safety rope? Yeah.
• 40:10
  Oh, 50ft, you know?
• 40:14
  >> Cameron: Yeah, safety rope.
• 40:16
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good.
• 40:17
  >> Cameron: And then after I do that, I'm gonna climb back down and quickly try
• 40:20
  to find my group.
• 40:21
  >> Skylar: Okay. Wearing purple.
• 40:23
  >> Cameron: Yes, but the ones wearing purple. And as I'm walking, like,
• 40:25
  towards the line, I'm walking at the line, I'm just like,
• 40:28
  oh.
• 40:31
  >> Cameron: As I'm, like, moving up the line.
• 40:33
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 40:33
  >> Cameron: Like, yeah. Okay, stay in line.
• 40:36
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 40:36
  >> Cameron: Hey, keep moving.
• 40:38
  >> Skylar: All the farmers that are, like, passing by you and
• 40:41
  stuff, they all kind of, you know, straighten up and everything.
• 40:43
  >> Cameron: There's a bump there. Watch your step.
• 40:44
  >> Skylar: Thank you.
• 40:45
  >> Cameron: How?
• 40:46
  >> Cameron: Full light. All right, I'm gonna
• 40:49
  rejoin my group. All right. Stay
• 40:51
  in line. What's up?
• 40:55
  It's me. Oh,
• 40:58
  you like my adult voice? You can tell
• 41:01
  it's me by my bo staff.
• 41:05
  >> Dave: Wow.
• 41:05
  >> Cameron: you guys are real quiet. Anyways, I'm gonna go sneak over to
• 41:08
  the Madam
• 41:11
  Yang's office.
• 41:11
  >> Mikayla: now you only got rid of one
• 41:14
  watchman?
• 41:15
  >> Cameron: Oh, now I look like one.
• 41:18
  >> Mikayla: Okay.
• 41:18
  >> Cameron: I mean, sure. What are we
• 41:21
  gonna do when we get to the front with just tree
• 41:24
  leaves?
• 41:26
  >> Mikayla: One of us needs to go with him.
• 41:28
  >> Cameron: You guys could just, like, you could follow me. Oh,
• 41:30
  good idea. Good idea. Glow. Hey, follow me, you
• 41:34
  three. This, this special cart needs to go somewhere else. And
• 41:36
  I'm gonna just, like, start, like, pointing and, like, start
• 41:39
  leading them a different direction as, like, a guard
• 41:42
  follow me. And I'm, like, waving him. And then we kind of turn
• 41:45
  off the path that we're going a different way. And I'm like, I have no
• 41:48
  idea where I'm taking you guys.
• 41:50
  >> Skylar: Where are you kind of directing them just from a visual
• 41:53
  standpoint? Standpoint? Like, what are you seeing that
• 41:56
  you're, like, kind of aiming towards? So I would
• 41:59
  imagine you guys are probably coming around the factory
• 42:02
  over towards the warehouse. So you guys can see at this point
• 42:05
  where the back door of the factory where
• 42:07
  employees are bringing completed, you
• 42:10
  know, tea related products out
• 42:13
  to the manufacturer, to the warehouses.
• 42:16
  And then, of course, the farmers kind of go in between. There's,
• 42:19
  like, a stopping point where the farmers stop and get unloaded,
• 42:22
  their employees there to unload, and then
• 42:25
  they push them on through. So you're kind of at, close by, that
• 42:28
  stopping point, not quite there.
• 42:30
  >> Cameron: Sure. I'll start leading them towards where Madam
• 42:33
  Yang's office overlooks stuff.
• 42:36
  >> Skylar: Cause that's, like, inside the factory.
• 42:37
  >> Cameron: Yeah, but I'm not going into the factory. I'm, like, leading them, to the
• 42:40
  side area.
• 42:41
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 42:42
  >> Cameron: And then I'm going to stop. Is there
• 42:45
  randomly, any boxes just randomly setting
• 42:48
  out?
• 42:48
  >> Skylar: Oh, I would say for sure.
• 42:49
  >> Cameron: Okay, so I'm gonna lead them to an area near a corner,
• 42:52
  right where there's just boxes that are just sitting out.
• 42:55
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 42:55
  >> Cameron: And I'm gonna, like, walk over and
• 42:58
  just pry one of the boxes open.
• 43:01
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 43:01
  >> Cameron: And I'm just gonna be like, all right, start unloading.
• 43:04
  I'm just gonna play one of the boxes.
• 43:07
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 43:07
  >> Cameron: All right.
• 43:08
  >> Skylar: And you guys got all your leaves, obviously, and so on and so forth.
• 43:11
  >> Cameron: We got the leaves.
• 43:12
  >> Cameron: Okay. So as I. As they. I'm
• 43:15
  gonna just stand there with my.
• 43:17
  >> Skylar: Yeah, nobody seems to question you.
• 43:19
  >> Cameron: Most of my bo staff just standing there looking
• 43:21
  important.
• 43:22
  >> Skylar: No, most of the people that are passing by that
• 43:25
  work here are just your average hot leaf juice employees, and they see
• 43:28
  your outfit, and they're kind of like, oh, yeah, he's.
• 43:31
  Don't mess with him. He's. He's a big guy.
• 43:33
  >> Cameron: Okay, and I'm gonna go. Hey, guys, go. Go a little
• 43:36
  slower so we can. So we can plan while
• 43:39
  figuring out something.
• 43:42
  >> Cameron: Okay, so what's. What are we planning,
• 43:45
  dude?
• 43:45
  >> Cameron: Well, say,
• 43:48
  two of you guys stay here, or even, heck, one of you,
• 43:51
  I don't care. And just slowly unload this stuff
• 43:55
  while, like, the rest of us go and retrieve the will or
• 43:58
  whatever.
• 43:59
  >> Cameron: I can stay here and unload, but.
• 44:00
  >> Cameron: I mean, or we all could go. I don't care. But it's like.
• 44:03
  I'm just saying, like, once we empty this cart and just start
• 44:06
  running around by ourselves, like, that would be more suspicious
• 44:09
  than, like, if a few of us stayed at the cart and just
• 44:12
  one of us went off with me in
• 44:15
  disguise.
• 44:16
  >> Cameron: Where are you gonna get this other disguise?
• 44:18
  >> Cameron: Oh, I didn't say there's gonna be another disguise. I mean,
• 44:22
  one guard leading one person somewhere. It's
• 44:24
  not as suspicious as, like, one guard leading three people
• 44:27
  somewhere.
• 44:28
  >> Cameron: I mean, I'll stay at the cart.
• 44:30
  >> Mikayla: Well, I did say earlier one of us should
• 44:33
  go with you, but.
• 44:34
  >> Cameron: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 44:35
  >> Dave: Are you volunte? Are you volunteering?
• 44:38
  >> Cameron: Yeah, sure. Mika, if you wanna come.
• 44:40
  >> Mikayla: Sure.
• 44:40
  >> Cameron: Yeah, all three can go. I can take care of it.
• 44:42
  >> Dave: What name do you want? I pull out.
• 44:46
  >> Mikayla: I want PI's name.
• 44:49
  >> Cameron: 3702.
• 44:50
  >> Dave: Yeah, that could be a girl.
• 44:51
  >> Cameron: Stave.
• 44:51
  >> Mikayla: Sure it was 727.
• 44:53
  >> Cameron: Dang, I can't believe you remembered that.
• 44:54
  >> Skylar: That's pretty good.
• 44:55
  >> Cameron: In memory of Boeing, that's
• 44:58
  737. Never mind.
• 45:00
  >> Skylar: All right, so you're taking on PI's, name
• 45:03
  tag. Whoa. Are you coming with him?
• 45:05
  >> Cameron: Come on. Guo.
• 45:06
  >> Dave: Yeah.
• 45:07
  >> Cameron: You've got the other name tag.
• 45:08
  >> Skylar: What does your name tag say?
• 45:10
  >> Dave: Oh, boy. Name tag
• 45:12
  says bon
• 45:16
  bon. Bon.
• 45:17
  >> Cameron: Bon bon.
• 45:18
  >> Skylar: It says, Skyler's.
• 45:19
  >> Cameron: Like, now you goon.
• 45:20
  >> Skylar: Now you,
• 45:22
  >> Cameron: It's like, now you gonna feel like what it's like to make a name up on
• 45:25
  the spot, and then everybody makes
• 45:27
  funny.
• 45:29
  >> Skylar: No, goon. Okay. All right. Sounds good. Yours says
• 45:32
  goon, so you got goon pie.
• 45:35
  And yours, Bill says
• 45:38
  guard number five. Guard number five.
• 45:42
  >> Cameron: It's not what it says.
• 45:43
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 45:43
  >> Dave: It says, like, high turnover rate among
• 45:46
  guards.
• 45:47
  >> Skylar: Yum, yum. Okay, so you got
• 45:50
  goon, you got yoom, and you got
• 45:53
  pie. Gon yoon
• 45:55
  pie. That's fun. Awesome.
• 45:58
  All right. So, and then, Brock, you're chilling
• 46:01
  out, unloading here.
• 46:03
  >> Cameron: I'll chill out.
• 46:04
  >> Cameron: Toss him the fourth one. Name tag.
• 46:07
  >> Cameron: Oh, I get the name tag.
• 46:08
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 46:08
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 46:09
  >> Dave: Here you go. And I toss it to you.
• 46:11
  >> Skylar: What does this name tag say?
• 46:12
  >> Cameron: It says choy.
• 46:13
  >> Skylar: Choy. I'm not gonna remember that one, cuz it's kind of.
• 46:16
  >> Cameron: It's. I'm just chilling at the car.
• 46:18
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I was gonna say just in case.
• 46:20
  >> Cameron: Just in case.
• 46:21
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 46:21
  >> Cameron: My name's Choy.
• 46:23
  >> Skylar: Don't mess.
• 46:23
  >> Cameron: Who's the world unloader over
• 46:26
  here?
• 46:32
  >> Skylar: That's weird.
• 46:33
  >> Cameron: Oh, he asked me to hold it for him.
• 46:40
  >> Skylar: Oh.
• 46:41
  >> Cameron: Troy.
• 46:41
  >> Skylar: okay. Awesome. So, the three of you guys, head
• 46:44
  inside the factory. When you guys get inside the factory, you see
• 46:47
  the initial, factory floor. So
• 46:50
  you just see tons and tons of kids,
• 46:53
  teens, maybe a little bit younger, even the teens,
• 46:56
  working the factory floor. There
• 46:59
  are conveyor belts. It kind of reminds you a little bit about the
• 47:02
  factory that you guys had to disable back in
• 47:04
  Udao. So there's a whole bunch of just, you
• 47:07
  know, conveyor belts and this and that. all
• 47:10
  that kind of move various products
• 47:13
  from one end of the facility to the other. It's a hive of
• 47:16
  activity, with rows of gleaming machinery and conveyor belts
• 47:19
  stretching as far as the eye can see, the air thick with the
• 47:22
  aroma of boiling tea leaves and the
• 47:25
  sound of whirring gears and hissing steam.
• 47:28
  Workers clad in the traditional pink hot leaf
• 47:31
  juice uniforms scurry back and
• 47:33
  forth, tending to the machines and monitoring the production
• 47:36
  process. In one corner, huge vats
• 47:39
  of bubbling liquid line the walls, each labeled with the
• 47:42
  name of a different hot leaf juice. Blend
• 47:45
  pipes snake across the ceiling, transporting
• 47:48
  ingredients and finished products to various stations throughout the
• 47:51
  facility. The production process follows
• 47:53
  employees sorting through the tea leaves on a massive
• 47:56
  conveyor belt, distributing the different leaves to different
• 47:59
  belts based on their type. Then another group of
• 48:02
  employees at each one of those breakout lines picks
• 48:05
  away at the leaves on their respective belt, and they have a basket
• 48:08
  next to them filled with reject leaves. The
• 48:11
  good leaves are left on the belt when they head to a small
• 48:14
  vat of hot water where they're boiled. And once they
• 48:17
  emerge from this bath, a large, heavy metal brick
• 48:20
  stamps down on them, floor, flattening them and forcing out the
• 48:22
  flavors. They then drop off the belt
• 48:25
  onto a drying basket, where the employees spread a
• 48:28
  powdery substance over the leaves. Once the
• 48:31
  basket is full, they are dumped into a metal bin that crushes the
• 48:34
  leaves before spitting out a cube, which goes
• 48:37
  down the conveyor belt where the HLJ
• 48:40
  employees pick it up and place it inside of a
• 48:42
  large stone oven where the tea brick is
• 48:45
  dried. Once the bricks are
• 48:48
  completed, they're removed from the oven, and they're placed on
• 48:51
  another conveyor where an employee packages them into
• 48:54
  a crate. And then those crates, of course, are then
• 48:56
  taken by employees and put into the warehouses
• 49:00
  where they're stashed for distribution.
• 49:03
  Adjacent to the production floor, there's a modest
• 49:05
  cafeteria where factory workers would
• 49:08
  gather to eat and drink. It honestly, truly looks
• 49:11
  like your typical elementary school,
• 49:13
  old cafeteria kind of like setup. There's
• 49:16
  currently no employees there at the immediate
• 49:19
  moment, but as you guys are
• 49:22
  entering, you watch,
• 49:25
  as a particular employee who's just,
• 49:28
  you know, one of the many on one of the conveyor belts just
• 49:31
  suddenly looks up with eyes wide and starts
• 49:34
  screaming, where am I?
• 49:36
  >> Bill: What's going on?
• 49:37
  >> Skylar: Where am I? And almost instantly,
• 49:40
  as everybody kind of turns their gaze towards this
• 49:42
  employee, looking a little bit, like, kind of strange at
• 49:45
  this person's actions. a couple of the hot leaf
• 49:48
  juice elite guards rush over, grab this
• 49:51
  employee, and lead them, kind of carry them
• 49:53
  off to a room, off to the side, which
• 49:56
  has a sign that says the
• 49:59
  employee recertification room. And they
• 50:02
  just kind of disappear into that room. And as soon as they go into that
• 50:05
  room, everybody immediately turns back to their work and continues
• 50:07
  what they're doing.
• 50:08
  >> Dave: Well, that was ominous.
• 50:12
  >> Cameron: Yeah. And if you keep it up, that's
• 50:15
  where I'm taking you guys.
• 50:18
  >> Dave: Oh, sorry, sir.
• 50:20
  >> Cameron: Yeah, that's what. That's more like it.
• 50:23
  Right this way. And I start leading them even
• 50:26
  more to Adam Yang's office.
• 50:29
  >> Skylar: All right, so you.
• 50:30
  >> Cameron: I want to see. Is there, like, a back way to,
• 50:33
  like. I don't want to go. I don't want to. Is it just,
• 50:36
  like, a single staircase?
• 50:38
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I was just gonna say exactly.
• 50:39
  >> Cameron: Or is there, like, a different way?
• 50:41
  >> Skylar: No, it is literally a single staircase that leads up to this
• 50:44
  glass office. Looks everything. But, here's
• 50:47
  the positive side of the fact that it's glass office. You look up there, and
• 50:50
  you do not see Madame Yang
• 50:53
  inside of the glass office at the
• 50:55
  moment.
• 50:56
  >> Mikayla: We see the box.
• 50:57
  >> Dave: Wait.
• 50:58
  >> Skylar: Well, it a little bit more inside this glass
• 51:01
  than just a box sitting there. Yeah.
• 51:03
  >> Cameron: What's up? Oh, sorry.
• 51:06
  Whoa. What's up?
• 51:08
  >> Dave: Do you see worker?
• 51:11
  We need to get, like, a. Some cleaning supplies or
• 51:14
  something.
• 51:15
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 51:16
  >> Dave: Because everybody can see us when we're up there, so we need to act
• 51:19
  like we're doing something.
• 51:20
  >> Cameron: Oh, that's a good point. Goon.
• 51:24
  >> Dave: Thanks, hume.
• 51:28
  Oh, I've taken initiative. Do you think I'll get that
• 51:31
  promotion?
• 51:32
  >> Cameron: If you keep this up, goon, you
• 51:35
  will really make it far in the
• 51:37
  hot leaf juice company.
• 51:41
  Soon. You won't even see that line ever
• 51:44
  again.
• 51:47
  All.
• 51:47
  >> Dave: Ah, right.
• 51:48
  >> Cameron: Oh, look. Cleaning product right over here in
• 51:51
  this closet marked cleaning product.
• 51:57
  >> Skylar: If you're looking for cleaning product. Yeah, you see, I
• 52:00
  don't know. You'd see some obscure stuff sitting right kind of near the
• 52:03
  entrance of the.
• 52:04
  >> Cameron: Might be stuff near the cafeteria. Yeah. Yeah.
• 52:07
  >> Dave: Seemed like a rag.
• 52:08
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Really?
• 52:10
  >> Skylar: Probably people actively, maybe a couple
• 52:13
  of people just cleaning in the cafeteria area.
• 52:16
  >> Cameron: Oh, I will just walk over them and get. Hey.
• 52:18
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah.
• 52:19
  >> Cameron: Can I get a couple, buckets?
• 52:22
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 52:22
  >> Cameron: With water? Hot water, some soap, and some
• 52:25
  rags.
• 52:26
  >> Skylar: Yes, sir. And they rush off to go get
• 52:29
  some. What do you want ours?
• 52:32
  >> Cameron: I don't care. Get some extra so you can
• 52:34
  keep working. Well, yeah, of course, sir.
• 52:37
  >> Skylar: And they hand you their current buckets and
• 52:39
  rags with somewhat. It's a little bit dirty,
• 52:42
  obviously, the water, because they've been cleaning with it, but. Yeah, I know. You
• 52:46
  describing for the. And then
• 52:49
  they, of course, rush off to go get fresh ones.
• 52:52
  >> Cameron: All right. And I hand the buckets to
• 52:55
  hi and goon.
• 52:59
  All right, follow me. Time to get the work.
• 53:01
  Cleaning time. All right.
• 53:04
  >> Skylar: And you guys start to head upstairs to Madam
• 53:07
  Yang's office, buckets in hand.
• 53:10
  All right. So I will describe for you what
• 53:13
  madam's Yang's office looks
• 53:15
  like. Okay? So located in the upper floors of the
• 53:18
  factory building, linked to the production floor by a
• 53:21
  wooden staircase, Madam Yang's office
• 53:24
  is a luxurious oasis amidst
• 53:27
  the industrial chaos below. The office is
• 53:30
  spacious and elegantly furnished with polished,
• 53:33
  well, glass floor. There is
• 53:36
  a nice plush carpet that does sit atop, a
• 53:39
  section of it, not covering all of it. And, of course, there are
• 53:41
  tasteful decorations adorning the walls in such a way
• 53:44
  that doesn't obscure too much of her view across the room.
• 53:47
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna break him.
• 53:49
  >> Skylar: Okay. We'll get to that. Across
• 53:52
  her factory, campus, on
• 53:55
  the floor, the rug that I mentioned
• 53:58
  before is a ornate rug that features a map
• 54:01
  of the four nations. Of course, there are
• 54:04
  large glass windows that cover every side of
• 54:07
  the office, including. Including the floor, offering a
• 54:09
  panoramic view of the production floor below, as well
• 54:12
  as the surrounding landscape outside
• 54:15
  from her vantage point. Well, I don't know why I need
• 54:18
  to read you that part. the centerpiece of her
• 54:21
  office is a grand mahogany desk positioned
• 54:24
  directly in front of the windows to maximize Madam Yang's
• 54:27
  view. The desk is cluttered with stacks of
• 54:30
  paperwork, a gleaming brass inkwell and
• 54:33
  a golden statuette of a firebent or a,
• 54:36
  ah, dragon like from the Fire Nation,
• 54:38
  symbolizing her power and influence.
• 54:41
  While behind the desk is an equally
• 54:43
  luxurious cushioned chair which features
• 54:46
  traditional pattern work featuring the symbologies
• 54:49
  of the fire nation, reiterating her
• 54:52
  heritage and origin. So you
• 54:54
  guys step into this ornate, fancy
• 54:57
  office and there's nobody
• 55:00
  there and a box, apparently
• 55:04
  not that you see.
• 55:06
  >> Skylar: Right out in the open.
• 55:07
  >> Skylar: Maybe.
• 55:11
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna knock some things off the shelf while I'm
• 55:13
  quote unquote dusting.
• 55:15
  >> Cameron: Good.
• 55:16
  >> Skylar: Okay, you just like real casually, like you're going up with
• 55:18
  like a rag or something. Oops. And oops.
• 55:22
  >> Dave: So it's the,
• 55:25
  where's the rug in relation to the
• 55:28
  desk?
• 55:29
  >> Skylar: yeah. So maybe like a foot away from.
• 55:31
  >> Dave: The desk, like in front of it.
• 55:33
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah. Okay, so the desk isn't sitting on the rug,
• 55:36
  it's she wants to be.
• 55:38
  >> Dave: Able to like look down while she's sitting to
• 55:41
  see everything.
• 55:41
  >> Skylar: Exactly. Exactly.
• 55:45
  >> Mikayla: Just punch her. What's in her desk drawers?
• 55:47
  >> Skylar: All right, so you go to search her desk drawers,
• 55:50
  you find a couple.
• 55:53
  >> Mikayla: Of things, something real cool.
• 55:55
  >> Skylar: You find some ledgers,
• 55:59
  some books with various,
• 56:02
  as you kind of skim through it, you see various reports and
• 56:05
  accounting from the various
• 56:07
  HLJ locations scattered around the
• 56:10
  nations, as well as of course, things that show
• 56:13
  the stock and inventory of this
• 56:16
  factory itself and like how much they're producing and so on and so
• 56:19
  forth. And you notice that on the bottom of. Actually,
• 56:22
  no, I'm going to save that.
• 56:23
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna say that there's nothing about
• 56:26
  our tea shop.
• 56:27
  >> Skylar: no. Cause it's not owned by them. So why would it be in their ledgers?
• 56:30
  >> Mikayla: I don't know. Because she killed. She killed
• 56:33
  Mister Okarod.
• 56:34
  >> Skylar: no, but on the desk
• 56:37
  you do see
• 56:40
  a couple of things. there are some
• 56:42
  correspondences from like
• 56:45
  letters and stuff. And you look through them and I mean, I don't know
• 56:48
  how much time you're taking to like read stuff.
• 56:50
  >> Mikayla: I mean, I can skim pretty fast.
• 56:52
  >> Skylar: Okay, so you skim pretty fast. So,
• 56:55
  within these letters you are
• 56:58
  seeing their correspondence to various
• 57:00
  orphanages in the fire nation.
• 57:04
  >> Mikayla: Everyone wants to be in an orphanage.
• 57:09
  >> Cameron: That's how they get you. You know, they sucker you in with the
• 57:12
  dental promises.
• 57:13
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna, say, give these to bill because.
• 57:16
  Sounds like his cup of tea. Hey, Bill.
• 57:18
  >> Skylar: Ironic. Someone that doesn't like tea.
• 57:21
  >> Mikayla: I mean, yoon.
• 57:24
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 57:26
  >> Mikayla: there's some, letters about all the little
• 57:28
  orphanages in the fire
• 57:31
  nation.
• 57:32
  >> Skylar: And that's when Mika had a stroke.
• 57:35
  >> Cameron: Here, Bill's just gonna pull
• 57:38
  off his pouch, his satchel, whatever he has,
• 57:41
  and, hand it to you and says, here, just fill it
• 57:44
  up. I am
• 57:47
  standing guard.
• 57:49
  Get to work.
• 57:51
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, you're taking this boss man thing, too.
• 57:54
  >> Dave: You're not gonna get a promotion.
• 57:55
  >> Mikayla: Shut up.
• 57:56
  >> Skylar: Cleaning like that.
• 57:59
  >> Cameron: By the way, keep it up, goon. You're doing great.
• 58:02
  >> Dave: And guo goon is, over there,
• 58:05
  actually cleaning.
• 58:08
  >> Mikayla: I roll my eyes very dramatically.
• 58:10
  >> Skylar: It's a good thing that one person's actually looking, man, because I
• 58:13
  gotta move this plot along.
• 58:16
  >> Mikayla: I roll my eyes dramatically. I put
• 58:18
  the, I give a big
• 58:22
  sigh, put him in his bag, and I go back to the
• 58:24
  desk. Did I search all of the drawers?
• 58:27
  >> Skylar: You, get to the last drawer.
• 58:29
  >> Mikayla: Okay.
• 58:29
  >> Skylar: You're just kind of, like, grabbing anything and everything. You start stuffing things,
• 58:32
  and it goes back. And sure enough, in the last drawer,
• 58:35
  you open up, and there are
• 58:37
  fragments of a broken,
• 58:40
  blissful brew teapot.
• 58:43
  >> Mikayla: Punch her. She's on here.
• 58:45
  >> Cameron: Why do you keep saying you want to?
• 58:47
  >> Skylar: Inside of which she's a meme label. Hold
• 58:50
  on. Inside of which is the box
• 58:53
  is a box. Did you find something
• 58:56
  which is labeled the blissful brew? Here's the thing. Here's the
• 58:59
  thing. I checked the episode, and
• 59:02
  I was pretty sure that I had said, and maybe it was something I wrote
• 59:05
  and I forgot to implement, but I think I had
• 59:08
  said that it was a box that you guys saw
• 59:11
  her taking.
• 59:11
  >> Cameron: Yes, but you said it was supposed.
• 59:14
  >> Skylar: To be a box that was inside of a teapot
• 59:17
  that was supposed to be a little bit more like you guys would recognize right off the bat,
• 59:20
  like, oh, that's a blissful brew teapot. Because we literally serve
• 59:23
  tea out of it every single day. That, I may have made a mistake
• 59:26
  there. That's my bad. A little bit of retcon real quick.
• 59:29
  So the box was inside the teapot. She
• 59:31
  shattered the teapot. There's the box.
• 59:35
  It is a little bit rude. I mean, how would you have gotten it out, though?
• 59:37
  >> Mikayla: Does it, Madam Yang, look like Miss M trunchable on
• 59:40
  Matilda? Because that's how I'm picturing her.
• 59:43
  >> Skylar: You know what? Go for it. Go for it. I say go for it.
• 59:46
  >> Dave: Picturing more of a younger Yzma.
• 59:49
  >> Cameron: Yes. That's what I've kind of been picturing.
• 59:51
  >> Mikayla: I did not picture that.
• 59:53
  >> Skylar: Okay, let's go with something in between.
• 59:55
  >> Mikayla: Both of those treas
• 59:57
  me. Okay, well, I'm gonna
• 1:00:00
  put one of the teapot pieces in my
• 1:00:02
  skirt.
• 1:00:03
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 1:00:05
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, sure.
• 1:00:05
  >> Skylar: It's a remembrance.
• 1:00:06
  >> Mikayla: Yeah. And I'm gonna take the box just.
• 1:00:09
  >> Skylar: In case you don't save the tea shop and you want something to remember it
• 1:00:11
  by.
• 1:00:14
  >> Mikayla: Tears. there's a box. I'm gonna
• 1:00:17
  take the box. Is the box locked?
• 1:00:19
  >> Skylar: No.
• 1:00:20
  >> Mikayla: Okay, I'm gonna open it.
• 1:00:21
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 1:00:22
  >> Mikayla: It's not locked. Madame Yang's already read the message.
• 1:00:24
  >> Skylar: No, I was inside a teapot. it does look like she
• 1:00:27
  has opened the letter and then put it back
• 1:00:30
  inside. And then, there's
• 1:00:33
  also inside, one of the envelopes,
• 1:00:36
  there's a water nation whale bone comb.
• 1:00:39
  Like a nice, fancy, ornate one.
• 1:00:41
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna steal that too.
• 1:00:43
  >> Skylar: It's in one of the letters that's literally labeled
• 1:00:46
  Micah. So
• 1:00:48
  it's like in the envelope, so you feel
• 1:00:51
  free to scale away your own
• 1:00:54
  possessions.
• 1:00:55
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna sit in her big, comfy chair. I'm gonna read this.
• 1:00:57
  >> Cameron: You find it. The box.
• 1:00:58
  >> Skylar: You're just gonna straight up read the letter in this?
• 1:01:01
  >> Mikayla: Apparently we got time.
• 1:01:03
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna pound my bow stuff on the grog. Oh,
• 1:01:05
  hey. Get back to work.
• 1:01:08
  >> Mikayla: Shut up, you.
• 1:01:09
  >> Cameron: Did you find the box?
• 1:01:11
  >> Mikayla: Obviously.
• 1:01:12
  >> Cameron: Well, where is it?
• 1:01:14
  >> Mikayla: I'm reading. Mind your business.
• 1:01:16
  >> Cameron: Well, grab the box.
• 1:01:17
  >> Dave: Now she could see if she need to check if
• 1:01:20
  we got what we can.
• 1:01:21
  >> Mikayla: Okay, I'm gonna toss the box, but keep the link.
• 1:01:24
  >> Dave: Read it on the rug.
• 1:01:25
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 1:01:27
  >> Mikayla: Why?
• 1:01:28
  >> Dave: The reading rug.
• 1:01:29
  >> Skylar: The reading.
• 1:01:30
  >> Cameron: The reading rug.
• 1:01:32
  >> Mikayla: But this chair is.
• 1:01:33
  >> Cameron: They can't see you on the rug.
• 1:01:34
  >> Mikayla: fine, I'll get on the dang rug.
• 1:01:37
  >> Cameron: That's an order.
• 1:01:38
  >> Mikayla: Shut your mouth, yoon.
• 1:01:40
  >> Cameron: Okay, on the ground.
• 1:01:43
  >> Mikayla: Let me read it.
• 1:01:44
  >> Skylar: So obviously there's a piece of the map.
• 1:01:47
  >> Mikayla: There's a map. There's a map.
• 1:01:49
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. I was like, dude, okay. Cause
• 1:01:54
  there were other letters and stuff, as I mentioned before,
• 1:01:57
  and it's. So I wrote the letter, which I was about
• 1:02:00
  to read the letter that you just opened, and it says,
• 1:02:03
  dearest Madame Yang. And I'm like, whoa, different letter,
• 1:02:05
  different letter, different letter.
• 1:02:07
  >> Mikayla: no, she put the wrong letter in the wrong envelope.
• 1:02:10
  >> Skylar: Mister Ogaran's like, dearest Madame Yang, I.
• 1:02:13
  >> Cameron: Know that you would have stolen this book.
• 1:02:16
  >> Cameron: Haha.
• 1:02:17
  >> Cameron: Got you.
• 1:02:18
  >> Skylar: Gotcha. This is, Okay.
• 1:02:21
  Oh, boy, you just really left me with a big
• 1:02:23
  one. So one of them is labeled Brock. It's a
• 1:02:26
  letter to Brock.
• 1:02:27
  >> Mikayla: He doesn't know how to read, so I'll read that one too. Yeah,
• 1:02:30
  read mine first.
• 1:02:33
  >> Skylar: but the one that's labeled amiga. Okay, so you pull out the cone.
• 1:02:36
  Also, there was a piece of the map. Obviously, there's been one with each piece of the
• 1:02:39
  clue, right? So this is the second to last one that you need. One more
• 1:02:42
  right after this, and then you have the full map. Okay.
• 1:02:44
  >> Skylar: It says, dear Mika, I know you and
• 1:02:47
  I didn't always get along. I know you've
• 1:02:50
  always held out hope that your father was still out there
• 1:02:53
  looking for you. And I assure you, I always
• 1:02:56
  held out hope as well. In every one of my
• 1:02:58
  travels since you joined our little family, I've
• 1:03:01
  done as much searching and asking around as I could.
• 1:03:04
  I'm sorry to say I still haven't found
• 1:03:07
  anything. And if you're reading this, it means
• 1:03:10
  I may have run out of the opportunity to continue
• 1:03:13
  the search from my end. But don't give up,
• 1:03:16
  because I am certain he is still alive.
• 1:03:18
  Let me explain. A couple of weeks ago, I
• 1:03:21
  traveled back to that region where I found you. I
• 1:03:24
  stumbled across the remains of an old village
• 1:03:27
  there that had since been abandoned. As I
• 1:03:30
  walked to the very edge of the encampment, I stumbled
• 1:03:33
  upon an old, burnt down cabin which featured
• 1:03:36
  a gravestone next to it. I decided to
• 1:03:39
  pay my respects to the soul that rested there. A
• 1:03:42
  woman named Daenerys. But I was surprised to
• 1:03:44
  find that there was a beautiful comb sitting
• 1:03:47
  atop the gravestone with a small
• 1:03:50
  note attached to it that simply said,
• 1:03:52
  micah, never stop, looking for me. I
• 1:03:55
  won't stop looking for you. I'll
• 1:03:58
  admit I didn't give it to you right away when
• 1:04:01
  I returned, partly out of selfishness,
• 1:04:03
  wanting to be the one to find your father for you and
• 1:04:06
  partially out of fear. Fear that you'd leave us
• 1:04:09
  and search for him and fear that you might have
• 1:04:12
  gotten hurt or lost, and we'd never be able to find you
• 1:04:15
  again.
• 1:04:16
  >> Mikayla: This is why we didn't go along.
• 1:04:20
  >> Skylar: But that was wrong of me. Your wariness
• 1:04:23
  of everything protects you, and it will protect those around
• 1:04:26
  you as well. Bravery is admirable,
• 1:04:29
  but there are things worth fearing in this world,
• 1:04:32
  and I hope that someday you will find it in your heart to
• 1:04:35
  forgive me. And that you will find your father
• 1:04:37
  as well. Before I left the village, I met an
• 1:04:40
  old man living there just on the outskirts. He
• 1:04:43
  was fearful of my presence, and it took some time to calm
• 1:04:46
  him down. He told me he used to be the leader of
• 1:04:49
  the thriving village that used to exist there, but some
• 1:04:52
  of the animals in the area began to go wild,
• 1:04:55
  attacking the village and those living inside.
• 1:04:58
  He said it got worse and worse after the death of the woman
• 1:05:01
  whose gravestone I found. He said a
• 1:05:04
  religious zealot took over the village leadership,
• 1:05:06
  and they ran a man and his daughter out of
• 1:05:09
  the town. My heart sparked when I heard this,
• 1:05:12
  wondering if you might have been that girl. But
• 1:05:15
  nevertheless, things have apparently gotten worse and
• 1:05:18
  worse, and more of the beasts attacks.
• 1:05:21
  >> Skylar: Wait.
• 1:05:22
  >> Skylar: And more and more of the beasts attacked until the village had to
• 1:05:25
  flee. The man, Tutanka was his
• 1:05:27
  name, said he remained in the area and has
• 1:05:30
  done his best to survive.
• 1:05:32
  >> Skylar: I helped cook a meal for him.
• 1:05:34
  >> Skylar: And gave him some tea, which he appreciated. I told
• 1:05:37
  him of a teenage girl I had found not too far from this place
• 1:05:40
  named Micah, and the man broke down in tears.
• 1:05:43
  I told him about how, she had lost her father, and he
• 1:05:46
  explained that he had been saved from a crazed beast by
• 1:05:49
  a man that he could have sworn was Mactuk.
• 1:05:52
  So I do truly believe your father is out there
• 1:05:54
  somewhere. I sent the last clues by messenger
• 1:05:57
  Hawk to this man in the southern watered nation.
• 1:06:00
  I'm hoping you'd be able to find the ruins of the village in
• 1:06:03
  hopes that you head there and find more evidence of your
• 1:06:06
  father's whereabouts. Perhaps he can help you
• 1:06:09
  more than I have been able to. Yours in
• 1:06:12
  most humble apologies and sincerest love,
• 1:06:15
  Okaran.
• 1:06:16
  >> Mikayla: You shove it in my pocket.
• 1:06:18
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 1:06:20
  >> Mikayla: There's nothing of value for anybody else in this
• 1:06:22
  letter.
• 1:06:23
  >> Skylar: Not in your letter.
• 1:06:25
  >> Mikayla: Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:06:27
  >> Skylar: I mean, there's a letter to Brock.
• 1:06:30
  >> Mikayla: Well, do I have time to read it? Cause I'm gonna just
• 1:06:33
  read them all.
• 1:06:34
  >> Skylar: Well, actually, you don't have time to read it because
• 1:06:37
  as, those of you that are actually cleaning or
• 1:06:39
  guarding, look down through the glass.
• 1:06:42
  You can see that the individual that had
• 1:06:45
  gotten the kid that got dragged into the recertification
• 1:06:48
  room is being brought out by two hot leaf juice, a
• 1:06:51
  leaf guards. And trailing behind them is
• 1:06:54
  Madame Yang herself. And with that,
• 1:06:57
  we will end out episode seven.
• 1:07:09
  Hey, everyone. Skylar, the game master for benders and
• 1:07:12
  brews, and the creative director over at session zero heroes
• 1:07:15
  here. I just wanted to give you a quick outro before you head over to the
• 1:07:18
  next episode or call it a day. Firstly,
• 1:07:21
  thank you so much for listening to our show. It means
• 1:07:23
  so much to us to have such amazing people like
• 1:07:26
  yourself that enjoy the content that we produce.
• 1:07:29
  Without you, there really wouldn't be much point in all the
• 1:07:32
  work that we put into recording, editing, and sharing
• 1:07:35
  our TTRPG sessions with all of you. With that being
• 1:07:38
  said, we would love it if you would throw some love
• 1:07:40
  our way and drop us a review or a rating
• 1:07:43
  or whatever it is called, wherever you're listening to the show, based
• 1:07:46
  on whatever platform that allows you to leave reviews
• 1:07:49
  and leave recommendations. It means a lot to us to get

  generous, you could even go as far as to share our show
• 1:08:04
  to your friends and family who also enjoy TRBG
• 1:08:06
  actual play podcasts. It's really expensive for us to
• 1:08:09
  be able to advertise and we don't do much of it, so
• 1:08:12
  it's a lot more help to have you guys share it with
• 1:08:15
  people that you know will enjoy it and then they can join in
• 1:08:18
  the community that we're creating. That would make you a session
• 1:08:21

• 1:08:24
  love to have you stop by on one of our various social platforms and
