  SPEAKER_01: to this moment I'm not going
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: to lie that's I've almost never heard anything more insane but it's true
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: that's what happened and that's where we left off

  SPEAKER_00: from remembering um Jacob no I don't

• 8:19
  SPEAKER_02: We've gone through a lot with each other.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_02: There's no need to be scared in this moment.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: Have faith in me just like I have faith in you.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, Jacob.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_03: He would then using his nails or something cut open his wrists and kind of let
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_03: the blood drip into Logan's mouth.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: Is that a roll for Hunger Frenzy?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's absolutely a roll for Hunger Frenzy.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: Also...
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_03: I've given myself a little distance so I can possibly react, hopefully.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: I want this to succeed for your own sake.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so scared I haven't been using willpower last session because I was so scared
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: of having to deal with frenzy things again so I've got five I've got five willpower
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: and I believe I add a third of my humanity which is two
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: so that's seven dice that's seven dice this has to work this has
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_02: to work that's four usually
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: Was it difficulty of three or was it difficulty of five?
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: I was gonna set it somewhere nicely in the middle and it is indeed a difficulty
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: of four which you succeed on however however how much blood are you giving Logan?
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: Enough to slate to putting myself at hunger five
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: putting yourself at hunger five.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: Well, then you know what that means.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_02: As you two explore, Jacob, as you feed Logan, Logan, you are just enough
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: to slake two points of hunger from Jacob, pushing you down to three and Jacob up to five.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: This is fine.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: This is perfect.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_02: Now we have a different problem, like an entirely different issue, but that's okay.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: The floor blood is nice and cleaned up.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: There's nothing left.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: just maybe the smelling vestiges of it,
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: but not enough to trigger a hunger frenzy from you, Jacob.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: Do I notice how hungry Jacob is?
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: I would say that you've spent a lot of time with Jacob,
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: and as long as Jacob isn't trying to hide it, probably.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: trying to hide it at this moment.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: He is?
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, why don't you give me a...
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: Give me manipulation and subterfuge,
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: but take away and die because you're so unbelievably hungry.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: And Logan, why don't you give me wits and insight?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, this is an important role.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: You can also give me wits and insight if you choose.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_03: Four successes, possible bestial.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, this isn't- that's so bad.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: I hope I fail.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: I do.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: Which means I get a bestial.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: No!
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing is good.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing is going well, Rhea.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing is good.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: The three of you are contained in this little alley right now.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob, that's four successes.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: On a bunch of hunger die with a failure.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, God.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_03: Facial values typically only apply if you lose the role.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking about this.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: because all things can't go the way you want them to go.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: Although I want them.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Is Logan's bestial failure not enough for you?
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Not enough for you?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: Have to feed the slavering beast that is VD's and need for drama?
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is true.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: So, here's what happens.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: Logan,
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: You just got off from licking the floor clean and maybe coming to some realization
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: within yourself that you are considerably less than you might ever want to look in
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: the mirror and face.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: Robin, with two successes, you can see that Jacob is hungry, but it's hard to say how hungry.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: But look, it's not enough for you to just accept Jacob's worry, not at all.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I need you in this moment, or here's rather a more succinct thing I want to do.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is not, you know Jacob well enough, and this answer is unacceptable, right?
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: There's no way that Jacob's not hungry.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: although they seem in control until you know the truth you know for sure
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: that Jacob is indeed not starving to death everything is at minus two
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: until you can ascertain 100% that Jacob is indeed not starving to death oh man
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, okay,
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: she's gonna take Jacob's hands Okay, um,
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_03: we have to go get you fed then I suppose it would be quite inconvenient showing up
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_03: to our performance and having anything poorly going through Wait,
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: are we still going?
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I'm up for playing the gig Are we just dipping them?
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: We need to get you fed and then maybe we decide after?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: Looks over towards Robin.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_03: Thoughts?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: For the best.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: We need to deal with you first.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever comes next, comes next.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: let's not risk everything for fucking Utah like I said I'll be fine I can grab
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: a drink without any issues you've got nothing to be rid
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_00: of nope we're not pushing this off you're taking care of yourself right now
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: before we have another issue on our hands things have already got
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: to shit tonight we're doing this
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: Logan lets her hair, like, she tilts her head forward and all her hair covers her face.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, let's get this done.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob, for you.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_02: It will calm you down.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: Logan takes a deep, performative breath.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, good.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh god, princess.
• 16:59

• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: She's gonna be alright.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_02: um I've been taking care of her okay okay um also I think I fucked up and kind
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: of told the two Nosferatu tailing me
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_02: that I drink vampire kindred blood you know oh I thought it would
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: be like, I don't know, complicity, that they wouldn't talk if we struck a deal.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's fine,
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure that the fucked up shit they did far outweighs the fucked up shit
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: that I did, and I could just lie about it.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_03: We are random outsiders, they're not going to trust us already.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well I certainly don't trust them.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: God, that dick tried to put me into frenzy.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: On purpose, so he could fucking kill me and drink me down and shit.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's fucked up.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: He did put you into frenzy and try to eat you.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_03: Either way, our world is valueless here.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: Compared to kindred who live here.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so that's also kind of why I think we should go.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: But let's... Gus stands up, still holding Jacob's hand.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go get you fed, okay?
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's all gonna be okay.
• 18:48

  SPEAKER_01: She whines a little.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: Still not feeling 100%, that's for sure.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: But you can carry her into the van.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: There are
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: There are few people walking on the street in this area,
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: and your presence has gone largely unnoticed.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: However, the three of you stepping out of an alleyway carrying a dog does garner a few looks.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like, what the hell happened?
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: Not that anyone's taking their phone out and asking,

  SPEAKER_02: She'll give, like, a somewhat concerned look back at Jacob in there, but we'll give a nod.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: You, Robin, follow her over to this little, like, it's like a sizing thing.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: She takes this leather bracer off and she's like, it's going to be a little hot.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Not like it's going to burn, just maybe a little uncomfortable.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: And she grabs your arm and then immediately lets go.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, whoa, why are you, are you okay?
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: You're like,
• 27:25

• 27:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so sorry.

  SPEAKER_00: I've been working in the car all day and it's been super air conditioned.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: I get really cold all the time.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a conditioned thing.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_01: Alright.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'll take your word for it.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: But she looks like
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: like nobody should be that cold but she like takes your upper arm
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_01: where like your shirt is so she doesn't have to touch your skin
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_01: and she like fits this bracelet around your arm
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_01: and losing both hands now she like pulls pushes it down to your wrist and then kind
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_01: of like squeezes in different parts you see her like pull on
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_01: a few strings just oh okay that should be good and
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: then she like just yanks it off your arm and it slides right off
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: perfect perfect and she sets it back on to this like fitting thing and just does
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_01: a few more like minor adjustments and you can see
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_01: that it's it's pretty good craftsman work like it's not an original piece
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: or anything but obviously it's been like modified
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_01: to be whatever specifications Logan wanted oh that's some really impressive work
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: I do my best.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's not easy, you know?
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can bet.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've never dabbled in leather work,
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: but I'm pretty okay at sewing, so this is really impressive.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_01: I appreciate that.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, I might even give you a discount.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: I already said I'd give one to Logan, but maybe another one.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: and she like winks at you but you know she goes back to working she's focused
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_01: on what she's doing Jacob Logan comes to the van and leads you in and for
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_01: the first time you can see her shop again it's a lot
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_01: of like corsets goth type clothing long dresses short ones mostly everything is
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_01: black on all these racks but you do have like pops of color
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_01: for different aesthetics there's one rack where it's just like all like
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_01: pastel goth stuff, but it's not like a huge selection.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_01: And you're inside.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_01: The three of you are in.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_01: She's working.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's your scene.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_01: What happens now?
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob, how does this work?
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_02: I've got to grab their consent.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_02: So that's the only concern I'm having.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_02: How much money do we have spare?
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_01: Not much.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_01: Something like $500 and some odd dollars.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: $530 to be exact.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, Logan.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_00: Some, I kind of haven't been the one in charge of that.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: for some reasons.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_00: I just, you know,
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_00: thought we'd have money after a gig and then I could get something nice for Robin.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_03: That's completely understandable.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_03: I don't blame you for that part.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_03: The only way I can see this working is if I'm able to float my way into their beds
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_03: or if I directly pay them for it.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_03: was going to get a questionable look.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she just said she didn't want to open the register again,
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: but like,
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know,
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_02: you can be real charming, so that'd kind of have to be up to your glam and stuff.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_02: Was this a bad idea?
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_02: This entire city was a bad idea.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_02: it's fine as long as as long
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_02: as what happened last time does not occur again there won't be any issues yeah yeah
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_02: um I'm keeping it together and um yeah and Jacob is just going to
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_03: Wait for them to finish up.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a few minutes.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_01: I want to say a few minutes.

  SPEAKER_01: runs back to the back,
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_01: grabs a couple of like, you know, these three like super pointed spikes.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_01: They're not like prohibitively long or anything, but they're clearly like
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_01: pointy uh she rivets them on you can hear like one of some
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_01: of her power tools going off it's maybe half an hour later where she is like
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_01: and what do you think it's a full-on like
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_01: rather than it being just like a regular brazier it's like an arm guard
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_01: that covers nearly her entire robin your whole forearm
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_01: with these three like spikes evenly spaced between it from like your wrist and
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_01: the center of your forearm and
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_01: then right near your elbow it's black it's got it's almost like lace but
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_01: a little more metal than that and then right underneath there it's like a
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_01: it's fit to you but it's got like laces underneath where if you need
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_01: to like tighten it or loosen it you can but it won't give like it's
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_01: but it's not too much give so it won't just slide off

• 42:47
  SPEAKER_02: the van right
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I'm trying to avoid the thing what happened in the last city.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_03: So I might stop back at our hotel and knock on some doors.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_02: Oh shit, we have to check out too or else, you know, get the owies.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, either way.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_03: I can knock on some doors, see if anyone's alone.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_03: So if they're looking for anything before heading to the parties.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's probably for the best.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob, can I come with you?
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_02: I really don't...
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to be like...

• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: Okay Okay You also tagging along Robin?
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_03: Or do you have Any plans yourself?
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'd leave you guys alone She kind of like Spins her keys in her hand
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_02: As she goes to Goes into the van Smiling Did you like him?
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: Is that even a question?
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad I'm so glad I thought like I'd get you like stylish armor so
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: that um you know bad things don't happen again oh Logan oh you really don't have
• 44:50
  SPEAKER_00: to do that you know listen I've dealt with the worst shit believe me
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_00: Having someone nearly kill me like that, not the worst thing I've been through.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_02: I just kind of, it would make me feel better.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_00: This is partially why I did it, so it wasn't like, holy, uh, I guess.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_00: I also, I really wanted to make it up too,
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_00: but yeah, the other part was that like, um, I wanted you to feel safe.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_02: Logan.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_02: She kind of, like, gets out and gives Logan a little side hug.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_00: Logan looks very awkward.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_00: She usually would be a big hugger, but tonight she's feeling very vulnerable.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_02: Just take it easy this night.
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_02: Don't worry about it.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_01: Is it my understanding that you are all headed to the hotel, Jacob?
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_01: You're just going to knock on random others' hotel stayer doors to try and grab
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_01: a bite that way before going to the party?
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_03: The idea is, like I said, knock on veranda hotel doors at the hotel we're staying at.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_03: Convince one of them, hey, let's get bow chicka wow wow and feed during that.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_03: Or just any way to get consent.
• 46:55
  SPEAKER_03: And that's the easiest way in my head.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_01: You guys head back to the hotel.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't take too long to get there.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_01: We're probably in the first third of the evening.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_01: And Jacob, I'd like you to give me your let's take a look.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_02: Give me manipulation and
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_02: persuasion at a difficulty three.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to ask my typical question, does any of my merits count into my dice roll?
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_01: I will say that your looks would work.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_03: Difficulty, what did you say?
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_03: Difficulty was again, sorry?

  SPEAKER_01: puts it on the side counter,
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_01: and then deliberately turns around and goes to fiddle with other things.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's good etiquette for not to see you take the money.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he grabs it, pokes it into his jacket.
• 51:05

  SPEAKER_03: Something a little extra,
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_03: free of charge All the clientele have not complained about it It's a little bit
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_03: of biting down onto the neck and drinking a bit of blood Kind of think of it as like

  SPEAKER_03: an actual vampire
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_01: Oh that's crazy I mean it's not it's not the first time anyone's been in drawn blood

• 53:47
  SPEAKER_01: While you're feeding, Robin and Logan, what are the two of you doing?
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think that Logan is sitting like a puppy outside the door in the corridor,
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_00: just slightly off to the side, sitting there, waiting for Jacob.
• 54:16
  SPEAKER_01: Robin, are you sitting out there with Logan?
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but she's sitting out there with Logan just to make it not look like awkward
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_00: or something to other people.
• 54:30
  SPEAKER_02: Makes sense to me.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_02: What do the two of you talk about while you're out there?
• 54:36
  SPEAKER_02: If you talk about anything at all.
• 54:43

  SPEAKER_02: You know, things...
• 54:54

• 55:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think I ever heard who that really is.

• 57:45
  SPEAKER_00: though it's like she's still here you know with me and

  SPEAKER_00: so I don't do it that way.
• 57:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I try not to,
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_00: but sometimes, you know, it's just something that Sloan would like so much.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I went to the Caribbean restaurant with the cross today and Sloan would have loved it.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_00: She loved spicy food.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_02: By the way, you know, whatever happens, I want you to know I'm going to be with you.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_00: You may have not known each other long, but
• 58:29
  SPEAKER_00: I just get this feeling, you know?
• 58:30
  SPEAKER_00: I get it from people.
• 58:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think you're a good kid.
• 58:36
  SPEAKER_02: You're good.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_02: You're good.
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of get that feeling, too.
• 58:46
  SPEAKER_00: Why won't you feel safe?
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_00: Because I want you to stick around a long time.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_02: You know?
• 58:55
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you don't really have to worry about that.
• 58:57
  SPEAKER_00: I've been
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_00: I've been wandering like this for a really long time.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's nice to be with other people for once.
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but also if it's hurting you to stay with us,
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_00: if there comes a time when it's not worth it, you should go.
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_02: She looks kind of, like, very glossy-eyed as she says that.
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm being serious.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_02: Me and Jacob are, like, stuck together thick and thin for, like, a lot of reasons.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_02: And if...
• 59:49
  SPEAKER_02: If you need a run, you gotta run.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_02: Makes her a little bit... Then Robin, like, lightly plunges her shoulder.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_02: then I won't let it get to that point yeah that's
• 1:00:05
  SPEAKER_00: a good point oh my god I hadn't thought about that at all I'm catastrophizing
• 1:00:11
  SPEAKER_00: so much lately it's alright we've all these nights have been rough it's no wonder
• 1:00:24
  SPEAKER_00: that you've been feeling like that
• 1:00:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think really silly shit when I'm hungry.
• 1:00:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the apocalypse is going on inside the back of my brain.
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know?
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_02: I get that.
• 1:00:41
  SPEAKER_02: I always like that a lot, too.
• 1:00:46
  SPEAKER_02: I think I just kind of lost it after needing to survive like this for so long.
• 1:00:54
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 1:00:58
  SPEAKER_02: necessities exactly um it's around this time we guys have been talking for a bit
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_02: that Jacob steps out and the three of you are together again he shuts the door
• 1:01:23
  SPEAKER_03: behind him right so party
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I mean, we can, but are we really gonna stick around town?
• 1:01:39
  SPEAKER_02: We could get a dick.
• 1:01:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:01:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just wondering, like, if we should run before possible consequences happen?
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'm kind of worried about it.
• 1:02:00
  SPEAKER_00: one second till Robin will pull out her phone and look for go to the maps to see
• 1:02:08
  SPEAKER_00: where the near where the next city is hopefully outside of Utah the next major city
• 1:02:22
  SPEAKER_01: if
• 1:02:24
  SPEAKER_01: sort of two choices that you can go to and get to in like a relatively short amount of time.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_01: Like, it'll be still a few days on the road.
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_01: You'll stop at,
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_01: another town in between,
• 1:02:38
  SPEAKER_01: but you can head either to the open basin,
• 1:02:42
  SPEAKER_01: sunny Phoenix or the mountainous city of Denver.
• 1:02:54
  SPEAKER_02: one will take you further south the other further east you guys got a preference for
• 1:03:04
  SPEAKER_00: where we're going next?
• 1:03:07
  SPEAKER_03: as long as they aren't a shit ton of religious people and actually like rock music
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_02: then no yeah that would be preferred
• 1:03:20
  SPEAKER_02: I think our best option is to start moving eastward.
• 1:03:24
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, that sounds like a plan.
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_02: What was the plan for tonight then?
• 1:03:33
  SPEAKER_02: Are we doing this gig or party?
• 1:03:38
  SPEAKER_00: With someone who's suspicious of us and all the shit that's gone on already.
• 1:03:46
  SPEAKER_00: My best
• 1:03:49
  SPEAKER_00: My best intuition is to dip before things hit the fan.
• 1:03:55
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we can if you really want to, Jacob.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_03: That was perfectly fine.
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe quickly pop over to the party,
• 1:04:08
  SPEAKER_02: say that we have to leave early, and then just get the fuck out.
• 1:04:20
  SPEAKER_02: That works for me.
• 1:04:22
  SPEAKER_03: And it also means they don't feel like they're being stood up at all.
• 1:04:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah that makes sense.
• 1:04:30
  SPEAKER_02: Alrighty.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_02: Let's take some time to ourselves, finally.
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_03: Without any consequences.
• 1:04:46
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 1:04:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can't jinx us already.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
• 1:04:53
  SPEAKER_01: So the plan is to stop at this party and make your way to Denver, correct?
• 1:05:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_02: Book out the hotel.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_02: Check out.
• 1:05:14
  SPEAKER_00: um but also uh what's it Logan's gonna search for like try pick out the hotel
• 1:05:22
  SPEAKER_00: that they're gonna go to in Denver before um they get there just so that like
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_00: if they need to get the Robin's kit delivered there's an address to send it
• 1:05:34
  SPEAKER_02: to got it um we will look into that in a moment
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_01: As you all leave, you head to the checkout, you get your checkout.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously,
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_01: you stayed one less night than you intended,
• 1:05:53
  SPEAKER_01: but they don't give you, you know, the difference back in money.
• 1:05:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's already gone.
• 1:05:58
  SPEAKER_01: They do all the sign our checkout.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_01: They'll, you know, before you leave, they're like, just wait here a moment.
• 1:06:04
  SPEAKER_01: They have somebody run up, check the room because you guys paid in cash.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_01: They see no damage, no issues.
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_01: And they're like, perfect.

  SPEAKER_03: But he would not mind
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_03: going across roads continuously.

  SPEAKER_01: there's a finality to it, right?
• 1:15:21
  SPEAKER_01: You don't ever want to come back here.

  SPEAKER_01: But you learn some stuff.
• 1:15:27
  SPEAKER_01: Jacob, you managed to cobble together a couple hundred bucks.
• 1:15:33
  SPEAKER_01: doing, you know, who knows what in that hotel room.
• 1:15:38
  SPEAKER_02: As you all leave Salt Lake and pass city limits,
• 1:15:49
  SPEAKER_01: less than a mile out from the very edge of the city,
• 1:15:55
  SPEAKER_01: you see what looks like several of those things, like
• 1:16:03
  SPEAKER_01: town cars that those Nosferatu were in like speeding to gain on you.
• 1:16:10
  SPEAKER_01: They did tell you that there would be like an exit interview.
• 1:16:14
  SPEAKER_01: So either they're pissed or they're just here to see to make sure everything went the right way.
• 1:16:23
  SPEAKER_01: What do you all want to do?
• 1:16:25
  SPEAKER_02: Nosferatu are gaining on us.
• 1:16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Let me call Dr. Atwood.
• 1:16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, she'll punch in Dr.
• 1:16:35
  SPEAKER_00: Atwood's number from the card he gave her I can always create
• 1:16:39
  SPEAKER_03: an illusion sneak deep Yep,
• 1:16:44
  SPEAKER_01: it rings a few times and he picks up Ah,
• 1:16:49
  SPEAKER_01: Logan, exactly who I was hoping to speak to Would you mind slowing down?
• 1:16:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, yes, are you in the car following us?
• 1:17:01
  SPEAKER_01: I am.
• 1:17:02
  SPEAKER_01: I did tell you all that I would be coming to see you as you left the city
• 1:17:06
  SPEAKER_01: to make sure all went as well as it could have gone.
• 1:17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, terrific.
• 1:17:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'll let everyone know.
• 1:17:18
  SPEAKER_00: She says this so that, like, Dr. Atwood can still sort of hear her.
• 1:17:22
  SPEAKER_00: Dr. Atwood says that they're just, you know, doing the check
• 1:17:30
  SPEAKER_02: Can they guarantee our safety though?
• 1:17:35
  SPEAKER_02: You're cutting out again.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's not.
• 1:17:41
  SPEAKER_01: I think you said you want to see if that's true or not.
• 1:17:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm back.
• 1:17:48
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to do a sort of like a viable check to be like,
• 1:17:53
  SPEAKER_00: is this actually just an exit interview or are we getting scrapped?
• 1:17:59
  SPEAKER_01: He might have overheard, Jacob, you're perfectly safe so long as you didn't do anything stupid.
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_01: We like to make sure that those who leave understand what it means to have come here
• 1:18:19
  SPEAKER_01: and walk down alive.
• 1:18:21
  SPEAKER_02: If you catch my drift.
• 1:18:25
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, yeah, that sounds like I've been doing anything stupid.
• 1:18:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, we'll be slowing down now.
• 1:18:31
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, Robin.
• 1:18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Robin will, well, slow down.
• 1:18:39
  SPEAKER_00: But she's preparing the weapon she has in her car.
• 1:18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you slow down.
• 1:18:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, what's up?
• 1:18:48
  SPEAKER_03: I was going to say, yeah, Jacob's got his gun on him.
• 1:18:52
  SPEAKER_03: He's ready just in case.
• 1:18:54
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously not reveal.
• 1:18:56
  SPEAKER_03: He's concealing it.
• 1:19:00
  SPEAKER_01: Well.
• 1:19:01
  SPEAKER_00: And Logan is the weapon, so she's ready as well.
• 1:19:08
  SPEAKER_01: Indeed you are.
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_01: As you come to a stop,
• 1:19:13
  SPEAKER_01: the car is kind of,
• 1:19:15
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:19:15
  SPEAKER_01: one pulls up behind you,
• 1:19:17
  SPEAKER_01: and you pull off to the side of the road,
• 1:19:18
  SPEAKER_01: one behind you,
• 1:19:19
  SPEAKER_01: two on your left and one in front, and just a host of people come out.
• 1:19:24
  SPEAKER_01: A few look closer to the doctor, you know, in their lab coats.
• 1:19:30
  SPEAKER_01: The others look, you know, very nondescript, very obviously you've seen them before.
• 1:19:35
  SPEAKER_01: They're probably using their masks.
• 1:19:38
  SPEAKER_01: But he comes up and taps on the window.
• 1:19:43
  SPEAKER_01: You roll it down.
• 1:19:46
  SPEAKER_01: Good evening.
• 1:19:48
  SPEAKER_01: I trust you find your evening going well.
• 1:19:53
  SPEAKER_02: Had worse.
• 1:19:57
  SPEAKER_02: Understandable.
• 1:20:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_02: We didn't hear anything too negative going on.
• 1:20:05
  SPEAKER_01: We didn't catch any wind of any.
• 1:20:09
  SPEAKER_01: Infractions.
• 1:20:12
  SPEAKER_01: not really so we like to make sure that because very few come this way understand
• 1:20:19
  SPEAKER_01: the gravity of what it means to have come here and left again obviously
• 1:20:26
  SPEAKER_01: when you leave this place you'll tell no one of
• 1:20:32
  SPEAKER_03: that you were here right right wasn't really planning on it that's good
• 1:20:39
  SPEAKER_01: that's very good I like to hear those things it makes me feel much safer
• 1:20:44
  SPEAKER_01: and my colleagues as well and of course you won't mention any of the if you happen
• 1:20:51
  SPEAKER_01: to stumble across any illicit activities while you were here be informing any one
• 1:20:59
  SPEAKER_01: of those either or your own activities you happen to just bypass Salt Lake as
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_01: a whole on your way from
• 1:21:08
  SPEAKER_01: one end of the continental U.S. to another.
• 1:21:11
  SPEAKER_01: Is that correct?
• 1:21:13
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds about right.
• 1:21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds about right.
• 1:21:16
  SPEAKER_01: That's good to know.
• 1:21:18
  SPEAKER_01: Well, with that said, I will bid you all adieu.
• 1:21:22
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously,
• 1:21:23
  SPEAKER_01: should we find out that you did inform people of what you allowed
• 1:21:29
  SPEAKER_01: to have happen here,
• 1:21:31
  SPEAKER_01: things will not go well for you when we eventually catch up
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_01: with you do you understand I don't want to sound threatening
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_01: but I must make it clear that it is a threat not my preferred method to do anything
• 1:21:51
  SPEAKER_02: but you know safety measures he understands
• 1:21:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's refreshing to speak to one such as young as yourselves and know
• 1:22:03
  SPEAKER_01: that you understand the rules.
• 1:22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Very well.
• 1:22:08
  SPEAKER_01: Go in peace and enjoy the rest of your evening.
• 1:22:14
  SPEAKER_02: Likewise.
• 1:22:17
  SPEAKER_01: He does a little like circle motion with his finger.
• 1:22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody gets in.
• 1:22:21
  SPEAKER_01: If you look at you like they're not sure if they should let you go, but they pay his orders.
• 1:22:29
  SPEAKER_01: falling and the cars literally like pull away,
• 1:22:34
  SPEAKER_01: making you turn and head back towards the city and you're able to continue
• 1:22:40
  SPEAKER_01: the evening's drive.
• 1:22:43
  SPEAKER_01: I will give you all the scene as you drive for some time.
• 1:22:50
  SPEAKER_02: What the fuck was that?
• 1:22:51
  SPEAKER_02: Another place we aren't going again.
• 1:22:57
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck.
• 1:23:00
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, don't tell anyone you were in Salt Lake or we'll kill you.
• 1:23:02
  SPEAKER_02: What the fuck?
• 1:23:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like... You know what?
• 1:23:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's safe to say I'm never coming back to Utah ever again.
• 1:23:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we were in Salt Lake, a place to fucking death trap, obviously.
• 1:23:18
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_02: Crisis.
• 1:23:25
  SPEAKER_02: I can't deal with these goddamn chimeras.
• 1:23:29
  SPEAKER_00: the Nosferatu are worse.
• 1:23:34
  SPEAKER_02: You can say that twice.
• 1:23:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm so glad we're out of there.
• 1:23:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so, so glad.
• 1:23:43
  SPEAKER_03: Let's just hope the next place we go isn't miserable.
• 1:23:49
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, maybe Denver's normal.
• 1:23:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like, even a little bit.
• 1:23:55
  SPEAKER_02: Anything is more normal than them.
• 1:23:58
  SPEAKER_02: exactly yeah yeah at least stuff was open at night
• 1:24:06
  SPEAKER_00: though fuck okay wait why am i why am i trying to make a best out of this oh crisis
• 1:24:16
  SPEAKER_01: as you all drive for so that was you know those last things you did were probably a
• 1:24:23
  SPEAKER_01: a third of the nights you've got two-thirds of the night left and
• 1:24:28
  SPEAKER_01: The drive eats up a huge portion of that.
• 1:24:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's about,
• 1:24:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say,
• 1:24:37
  SPEAKER_01: maybe three in the morning when you see the first sign for the next town over
• 1:24:44
  SPEAKER_01: between Salt Lake and Denver.
• 1:24:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's called Grand Junction, population 70,000 people.
• 1:24:55
  SPEAKER_01: And as you were driving from Utah to Denver, it is, again,
• 1:25:00
  SPEAKER_01: this is all the Mojave Desert and it changes fairly drastically from,
• 1:25:06
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:25:06
  SPEAKER_01: the pale salt marshes and cold hills,
• 1:25:12
  SPEAKER_01: but lightly colored hills to a much more traditional looking desert.
• 1:25:22
  SPEAKER_01: and red clay makes a very stark contrast from the salt marshes.
• 1:25:31
  SPEAKER_01: And as you drive through, you find yourselves in this sort of dusky canyon.
• 1:25:40
  SPEAKER_01: You can see mountains in the distance
• 1:25:45
  SPEAKER_01: Grand Junction is just it's a small city very small comparatively it's not millions
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_01: of people here can you saw the sign for about 70,000 people but it's in the middle
• 1:25:58
  SPEAKER_01: of like wide open wild desert right you can see the saguaros out like distant
• 1:26:04
  SPEAKER_01: the mountains and the backdrop but
• 1:26:07
  SPEAKER_01: you can see what looks like city lights,
• 1:26:10
  SPEAKER_01: nothing as grand as Salt Lake or Vegas,
• 1:26:14
  SPEAKER_01: but enough that clearly this place is populated with some kind of nightlife.
• 1:26:21
  SPEAKER_01: You're about 10 minutes outside town when you see it.
• 1:26:27
  SPEAKER_01: Do you guys continue in?
• 1:26:31
  SPEAKER_01: I would assume you do, because it's really the only place to stop before the daylight.
• 1:26:38
  SPEAKER_01: As you get here, this is nothing at all like Salt Lake.
• 1:26:45
  SPEAKER_01: The vibe is way different.
• 1:26:48
  SPEAKER_01: Some of the first things you see are those like outdoor,
• 1:26:52
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:26:53
  SPEAKER_01: trail shops for those who like to spend their nights up in the mountains or in
• 1:26:58
  SPEAKER_01: the deep desert.
• 1:27:01
  SPEAKER_01: Mountain bike shops all over the place.
• 1:27:07

• 2:19:53
  SPEAKER_01: You can, if
• 2:19:55
  SPEAKER_01: you could feel the heat you could feel the heat of the lights on you and you're
• 2:19:59
  SPEAKER_01: on stage with thousands of people looking at you
• 2:20:05
  SPEAKER_01: before you begin how are you feeling this is this is a big crowd like
• 2:20:12
  SPEAKER_01: a big big crowd there's got to be at least four thousand people in here this is
• 2:20:19
  SPEAKER_03: the biggest
• 2:20:21
  SPEAKER_03: Carl Jacob has seen while he was on stage so he is invigorated to go
• 2:20:28
  SPEAKER_00: for this Logan I think is sort of like she's
• 2:20:34
  SPEAKER_00: a little bit off kilter usually she had like someone in the crowd who was rooting
• 2:20:41
  SPEAKER_00: for her in her other performances with this band and she also like
• 2:20:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think she she just had to like heal her ankle because she only got around to that
• 2:20:52
  SPEAKER_00: after she was no longer fucking hungry um let me hold for
• 2:20:57
  SPEAKER_00: that actually I'm pretty pleased now say that again um
• 2:21:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so she had to rouse to heal her ankle or whatever.
• 2:21:09
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like this feels very last minute for her.
• 2:21:13
  SPEAKER_00: She put her hair down, did like teardrop makeup or whatever.
• 2:21:17
  SPEAKER_00: But like she's off kilter.
• 2:21:21
  SPEAKER_00: She's not prepared for this.
• 2:21:24
  SPEAKER_02: Not prepared for this.
• 2:21:27
  SPEAKER_01: What about you, Robin?
• 2:21:29

• 2:21:56
  SPEAKER_00: of nudges her at the side and gives her a nod like you got this just nods back
• 2:22:06
  SPEAKER_01: One of you being a little off-kilter.
• 2:22:09
  SPEAKER_01: The other one trying to bolster that one.
• 2:22:12
  SPEAKER_01: And one of you just feeling the crowd.
• 2:22:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's a huge crowd.
• 2:22:18
  SPEAKER_01: They're looking at you.
• 2:22:19
  SPEAKER_01: There are pictures being taken.
• 2:22:22
  SPEAKER_01: There's a vibe,
• 2:22:23
  SPEAKER_01: like a little electric hum going through the crowd as they try to gauge what's about
• 2:22:28
  SPEAKER_01: to happen.
• 2:22:29
  SPEAKER_01: They don't know what sound you're going to make.
• 2:22:31
  SPEAKER_01: How do you guys sound off in front of this crowd?
• 2:22:35
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob would as they've gone everyone's attention through
• 2:22:42
  SPEAKER_03: the mic we are risking Dawn I'm four and then he kind of brings the mic over
• 2:22:50
  SPEAKER_03: to Robin so she can announce herself wait say
• 2:22:57
  SPEAKER_03: that again sorry we are risking Dawn you can
• 2:23:03
  SPEAKER_03: I'm full and then Jacob says this and comes over to you
• 2:23:07
  SPEAKER_03: so you can introduce yourself Robin Over
• 2:23:15
  SPEAKER_00: to Logan Logan's just gonna say I'm drama There's like a kind of a confused applause

• 2:23:36
  SPEAKER_01: you know, the lights on their phone, they're recording, some are taking pictures.
• 2:23:39
  SPEAKER_01: As you guys begin to play, I'd like you to give me your respective performance polls.
• 2:23:52
  SPEAKER_01: I believe these are...
• 2:23:55
  SPEAKER_01: for you, Logan, strength in performance.
• 2:24:00
  SPEAKER_01: For you, Jacob, it's what?
• 2:24:02

  SPEAKER_01: And for you, Robin, it's dexterity.
• 2:24:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:24:12
  SPEAKER_01: This is, again, it's a big crowd.
• 2:24:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's a group role.
• 2:24:18
  SPEAKER_01: But
• 2:24:19
  SPEAKER_01: as this difficulty would be higher because you're in a bigger place you've got
• 2:24:22
  SPEAKER_01: to project your voices further you got
• 2:24:24
  SPEAKER_01: to make sure everything sounds right you have prepared right you spend some time
• 2:24:31
  SPEAKER_01: getting some songs together trying to flesh out a feel so the difficulty for
• 2:24:37
  SPEAKER_01: the group role is going to be a little lower than I would have said it for such
• 2:24:42
  SPEAKER_01: a enormous venue the group role is going to be 12.
• 2:24:52
  SPEAKER_03: Same question as always, does my merits apply?
• 2:24:57
  SPEAKER_01: I would say they do.
• 2:25:01
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to use something like awe, you absolutely can, if you wish to.
• 2:25:08
  SPEAKER_03: I'm so stupid.
