• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Now too invested in the ham Sam Sam Glad. Yeah, Jimiir,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: you sit here and you watch, and I think there's

  Speaker 4: still a couple of things you notice. You notice the
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: mayor never comes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: In or leaves.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Uh he you don't see him at all. Okay, well, no,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: you're only there for a day, So let me roll,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: let me roll, like just kind of a general luck check.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I think you see two veiled city council members come
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: and go, uh like a little frantically. The mayor's assistant,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: the woman you do see leave towards the end of
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: the day, but you have tracked her before and you
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: know that to be her schedule. So yeah, that's about it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: On a tie, you cry. Okay, We're moving over to Jason.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Anything for Unmasked Life?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Jason? Yeah, I put it too in Unmasked Life, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I think I'd like to just open it up to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: anyone to come for this. But I think it makes
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: sense to do a good old Arthur's funeral. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Arthur funeral. He's not really dead, he's dead. Jason.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys think Jamie show up very somber, So.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the morning would consist of just kind
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: of getting getting ready. I put on kind of a
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: crumpled gray suit that was the bottom of Page's closet,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and we head over for you know, a non non
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: denominational kind of funeral service for Arthur.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I think as you show up in Jamier and Ronnie,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: you're welcome to be here. The mood is somber. But
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: also I think the number of people that show out
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: is I don't know if it would be surprise to Jason,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: what do you think it is a lot of people
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: show up.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Sure, Arthur was alive for a long time. He was
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a librarian a really famous institution of the city. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, while I'm here, I definitely I'm
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: not like at work obviously, but I do want to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you know, who of note is passing through, you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: giving condolences and you know, saying hey and making appearances.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Do I notice anybody? Yeah, a lot of people also
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: recognize you. I mean, these are the people that come
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: to the library often. So there's a lot of people
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: that just come up to you and shake your hand
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: and give you, like very specific condolences. There's a lovely
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: ceremony and then passing by you and Page the two.

• 12:46
  Speaker 2: that's I think people say, right, it's not in there.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: It is interesting to think what happens when the body
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: dies and the soul moves on. Does it become nothing?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Does it become again? Maybe it grows? Angel Wings holds

• 21:13
  Speaker 2: go on without him? Well, if he were here, which

  Speaker 2: forgive myself if you couldn't. You can take care of
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: yourself too, and this is for that. She looks confused

• 26:31
  Speaker 2: You do you guys?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Do all of you?
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: At some point Maria comes up to because you're focusing
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: on it, Quantum will say you comes up to you
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: and gives you a letter from Ellington that came through
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: the tubes because he said he would send over the
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: names of the city council for you guys to affect
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: their vote. It says this city council in handwriting underlined.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Benjamin Broth, CEO of Schabroth Farms, Gary Stephenson, CEO of
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Stephenson Oil, cousin to our dear Mayor George Olson, CEO
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: of Clank Industries. Know him Mitchell Nichols, silent Pope of
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: the Catholic Church, Stephen Star, owner and head anchor of
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: New Babel News.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Is that his real name?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: You think? Probably?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: And Manny Ellington, CEO of Ellington Electric, planning to vote
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: not to confirm the voice of the people, to keep
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: my cover. If it seems like it will be close though,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: let me know, and I will gladly sacrifice my status
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: among the city council for a change. But if I'm
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: able to maintain their view of me, it may still
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: be useful to us during the transition of power. This
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: is the letter you get from Manny Ellington.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: And we're trying to affect their vote to.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Ratify the results correct once the machines, because the machines are.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: They're going to ignore whatever the people do and they're
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: just going to keep the same Mayor Stephenson.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Because the machines are are telling the correct votes, even
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: though the council thinks they won't be telling correct votes.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Cousin to the mayor, nepo cousin. Yeah.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: You look through these names, Kwanta and Shabrath Farms, Stephenson Oil,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Clank Industries, the Catholic Church, New Babel News, Allington Electric.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: These are like the big like the primary producer and
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: the primary producer of meat in the city is Shabrath
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Farms and.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: It's on the south side.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: The primary obviously, you know, Stephenson Oils, primary producer of
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: you know, primary producer of oil in the city. These
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: are like the big things, the big.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Maria, what happened if we just leaked this, wouldn't they
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: have enough pressure from the people to have to ratify
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: the results to save their face?
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Maria sort of shrugs. I would assume there's a reason
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Ellington hasn't.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: Maybe to save his own but could be. I, you know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: don't completely trust him. I nor do I his dragon
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: though pretty cool.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Very cool, very scary, a little scary. No, no, well
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: for me, Oh, apologies, that's fine. You also visit the
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: different voting booths in the city. You see that they've
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: been installed and they're being protected and set up. They're
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: all in you know, important parts, all throughout the city
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: and seem to be working fine. Seemed to be nothing
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: fishy going on.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I cast my vote great pro election, bepep.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I get a little sticker that prints out a sticker
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: and I wear it as Quanta and as Ronnie awesome.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Have we talked about what the new Babbel flag looks like?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we have.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just wondering what is the I voted background on
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: this oval sticker.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I'll try to explain it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: The new the new Babbel flag is sliced into quadrants,
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: the four, you know, representing the four quadrants of the city,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: and in the middle is a large circle that represents
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: the station. And out of that circle, there's a line
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: that goes up to the right and down the line
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: that goes left is two lines representing the shoot.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: So maybe the O and voted circle on the flag.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: And the letters go diagonal yeah, I voted yeah through
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: the yeah perfect.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Quantas just thinking like I don't I don't know what
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: to do with this list other than some mind fuckery,
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: but should probably talk to the boys about that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Let's pick up with Jamir in his Grandma's study. Jamir,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: how are you going about your study magic.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I imagine that I started looking through a
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: bunch of different texts, and as I was sorting them,
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: maybe I eventually had marked like, hey, here's more information
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: about Ryan, here's more information about star magic.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: And I want to like go.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Back to these places that I kind of left off
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: when I turned my focus to training and get back
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: into the weeds of understanding what's going on.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead and roll a I take investigation or
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: knowledge again.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Here, Okay, here we go, the mighty three, the mighty three.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I'm rolling a D six for in a simple check
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: as you've already been in here doing.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I rolled it a mighty two. Ooh ooh, the mighty
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: body Boss two's Jamir.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: As you study, you start to play with your star energy,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: using it as like a gravitational force, pulling things a
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: little closer to you, pushing things a little bit away,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: holding things in the air, studying certain books swirling around you.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Almost involuntarily, you start doing this, holding up books that
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: you want to remember as you flip open another book.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Your Grandma's work was sporadic and confusing and covered the
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: scope of a variety of disciplines.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: You find out the other schools.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Of magic that you've heard about from Arthur seem separate
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: from this star magic. Your grandma tries to find directive
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: lines that trace back through history to certain pinpoints of
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: importance as she thinks, through spirit magic and creation magic
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: and other things.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: But star magic.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: You can tell it was hard for her to find
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: where it went until you find a pathway, a line
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: that she drew in one of her journals that has
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: a line like moving to a star that just says beyond,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: and then it moves into a blank page that line.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: You start following it back and it moves through the
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: different zodiac signs, starts with Aries and Taurus and moves
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: through the other signs until it gets to the word beyond.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: With that success, Jimy, you also find a page that
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: says the cursed spell of communion. Oh shit, And this
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: is what you find underneath your grandma's writing. It is
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: not a spell of words, but a spell of movement,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: material and starlight requirements. One cursed by ashen enemies. Gold
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: in purest form, dance of tired body, waking eyes of
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: two witnesses, and then there's a little pattern in which
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: you're supposed to move or dance it is not a
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: spell of words, but a spell of movement, material and starlight.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Requirements one cursed by Ashen enemies, gold in purest form,
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: dance of tired body and waking eyes of two to witness.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: Acien enemies like ghosts, like zombies, like crack skin heaven. Huh.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: This is big.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jamia writes that down for himself, and it's gonna
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: think on that. Yeah, I'll start looking looking around for
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Ashen enemies if that's come up anywhere else. Yeah, references
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: to Ashen enemies in any of these other texts or my.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Research, Yeah, I think in your research on star magic,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: as you try to focus in and through your grandma's tomes,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: there is talk of a battle between starfolk and they're
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Ashen enemies. Oh so this requirement one cursed by Ashen enemies. Yeah,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: that's all I'll say, cursed. It's a riddle, a fun
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: riddle by Ashen. You think about your relationship to the
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: pot and the genie that gave you your powers, but
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: those were those were in a curs right. You then
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: think about the night you were flying with Dirk and
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: flew so high above the city skyline and your powers disappeared. Uh,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: and he did go back into the pot. I go
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: over to the pot and kind of shake it a little. Yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: it wobbles there on the shelf. I look at the
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: dance patterns. Am I really gonna do this?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Shit? Fuck me?
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Engineer starts uh learning the moves. You start learning the
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: dance moves. As you do, you follow it, you see
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: that there are not just a pattern of feet, but
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: also sparks in places in the dance patterns that shoot
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: off of it. And it feels like you're star magic
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: kind of pushing out into the empty space above the dance.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's the chachass slide feeling something by Aha.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: So you know you also need as you do this,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: like nothing magical. Yeah, yeah, I need to get all
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: the other ingredients. I just wanted to practice the dance
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: so that when I'm ready, I.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, before you do it in front of witnesses with
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: gold and ashen enemies.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to rehearse before recital.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: If I I mean, if you're willing to montage this,
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: I would definitely. I mean, I'm assuming I gotta do
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: this at night under the stars to the left.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's montage it. What do you what do you do.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: I'll definitely set up an evening with Jackie and Maria
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: and say, meet me in the backyard of the manor
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: at one am.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Jimmy and what the fuck's what's going on? Just Jackie?
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: Of course, it's really hard to explain. Okay, it's it's
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: it's some magic shit. Okay, cool, I'll be there. Maria
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: also agrees.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: To be there.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Hey, guys, thanks for coming. I had to meat a
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: cup of hot chocolate. Sorry, we were had a mug,
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: so I just put the hot chocolate in a cup.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: So you remember my magic research that I started with
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Maria Jackie, I mentioned this to you. Yeah, yeah, of course, Well, uh,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know say this, but I came across a
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: prophesy while I was just chilling in the shoot recently,
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: and they mentioned a spell.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: And then I went back to my study and I
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: found You're not gonna believe.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: This, but I've found how to perform that spell that
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: was told to me in a street prophecy. Wow, okay, okay,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: and as it turns out, it's not even like crazy complex,
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: but I do need to witnesses to watch. Okay, that's
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: you guys. Cool, I'm ready Jimmy, Yeah, whatever, watching. Yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: as far as I understand it, all you guys have
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: to do is watch. Okay, I got some gold here.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: I take out if I folded up carefully in a
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: handkerchief one of my grandma's old brooches. But I also
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: need to have a tired body, which is why.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: It's late.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: And I don't know how long I'm gonna have to
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: do this dance, but I'm I need to do it
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: to the point of semi exhaustion or full of exhaust
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know. But I'm already pretty damn sleepy. So
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: hopefully this won't take too long, and hopefully something will happen.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: I gotta say, even when I was practicing the steps,
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: I did feel a little magic start.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: To tingle Maria.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Her eyes are wide, Okay, we're ready. I do you
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: think your powers will make it so your body like
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: can't be tired?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: No, I can.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna throw myself into this. I'm gonna be exerting myself,
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: all right, So yeah, I can get tired, not as
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: fast as a normal man, perhaps, but you know I'm
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: gonna be pushing it. So this is gonna be strenuous.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: It is a little embarrassing. I look at Jackie. Don't
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: fucking laugh.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I would never laugh at you. Jamir, all right,
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: I put on my mask. I'm also like in my costume,
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: but put on my mask for the dance. And yeah,
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: jams or not now, I don't know have mask now
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: it's more of a hell eh. Yes, I put on
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: my helm and Jamir starts dancing. You move through the dance,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: there are the points where you feel like your magic
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: should be shot out, and it does. And as you
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: shoot your magic out, you you sometimes haven't had control,
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: but in this moment, as you move, you feel like control.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: You feel like just the star is pushing out of you,
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: and as you move it forms a line and a pattern.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: The star magic stays in places until there's a beautiful
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: symbol that is star like in nature, similar to your
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: seven points. Ooh, I'm kind of keeping an eye on this,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: but I'm just still hoofing it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: You push and you push, and you you get exhausted.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: You do get very tired. It's one of those things
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: where you don't quite know how long you've been doing something.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: But Maria and Jackie both sit down. They both yeah,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: they their hot chocolate is empty. It goes on for
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: a long time until you feel as though you're almost asleep,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: and then a beam from the heavens, blue and white,
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: streams down, breaking the sky and pouring right in front
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: of you. As it dissipates, there is a woman standing there,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Golden robes and hair, golden circlet.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, h hello, Hi, yeah, Rache'll still dance.
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: You may stop dancing. Oh yeah, cursed one curse cursed.
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: So so I'm I'm cursed.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: You know me? I know not of you in specific,
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: but I know of your kind and what has been
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: done to you. Only a cursed could call me down.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Oh so this has happened before.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: To you, Yes, but not for some time. How do
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: you speak English? What you call English?
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: Tongue?
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: We're speaking, yes? Or language? I don't know why I
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: said tongue. I feel Shakespeaparian almost with you. That's fine.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: He was a great poet. Yes, I know, I know, Yes,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I know I know who Shakespeare? Wait, you know Shakespeare?
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Space to the Star.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: What do you call English? We have learned it from
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: observation of you.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: What I am?
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Where are you from? I? And my people? Orbits? Jupiter?
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Whoa like on a moon. Yes, which one. Well, it
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: isn't a specific moon of Jupiter. It's like on a moon.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: It's our own rock that orbits Jupiter. Oh shoot, are
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: you sure? Go ahead?
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: No?
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: What's up? Oh are you then? Starfolk?
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: We are not, but we are in service to the
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Lady of Light Passeran in the High Place Edah. She
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: lives among us, and she look like a human. She
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: can take a human form interest, but her true form
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: is unbearable to our eyes because she's a star. She
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: is one of the first starfolk.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, she's a star, which is farther in space, but
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: she hangs out near Jupiter.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: As like a lady. There is much that I could say,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: uh huh, and there is not much time. Oh shit,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: if the boon of the star lady would be yours,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: there's a boon I can get. Yes, even though I'm cursed.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Is the curse bad? Or is the curse? Okay? I've
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: been trying to use the curse powers and this has
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: been going pretty good. That is good to hear.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: It must mean that the ashen foe with whom you
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: made a deal is getting close to their freedom.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Oh the gin. Yes, your people have at times called
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: them gin. What would your people call them ashen foes?
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: That is one word? How long have you guys been
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: living out near Jupiter? Over a millennia? Whoa? But you
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: know Shakespeare? Do you guys watch us? We are able
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: to learn from you? Yes?
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: Is that part?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: How many are there like you on the rock? Millions? Billions?
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Millions but not billions, just millions, but still millions? Yes?
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Oh shit?
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: Could I come with you to visit? Is there gravity?
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: There is there air there? You look like a human,
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: no disrespect. You look very nice and you just travel
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: from Jupiter. But I'm assuming human.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: We are.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: There is air, there is gravity, and it's not too cold.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: Somehow it is all a gift of our Lady of
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Light Pessorens.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: I see she has great power Pesserene, and she has
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: a boon. Yeah.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: If there's not much time, I'll take any boon I
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: can get very well.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: She raises her arms. When the Lords of Starfire were
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: forced to this play, their enemies, with whom they were
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: locked in everlasting battle, were brought here with them. In
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: their benevolence, the Bright Lords did not create your world
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: with execution, and instead bound their enemies to earth and objects.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: They also gave them a path to be purified and
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: to be freed. Those bound instead of bless, will at
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: times curse those who find these objects. Your ability to
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: complete this spell is proof that you are one of these,
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: and so a boon of pity an apology is offered
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: to you by our Lady of Light pesser An, a
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: boon of knowledge and a boon of power. Rachel, you
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: feel the power of this person.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: Jackie and Maria sit gawking. They don't see the woman.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: They only see the beam of light and you in conversation.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: In this moment, you may ask for a boon of power,
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: which will be your level up, and a boon of knowledge.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: I can answer both yes yes, from your powerful lady.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: A boot of strength and power would be most welcome
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: as I seek to fight the great evils that exist
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: here in this land, and.
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: As just a novice truly in terms of magic, a
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: boon of knowledge about star magic would be greatly appreciated. Great,
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: So Ben, tell me what you are taking at level three.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: For level three, I think I'm taking get behind me
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: so I have no defense of penalties when I'm trying
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: to defend allies within the range of my magic blast,
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: and I roll all my defensive roles high when defending others.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Very nice, this woman smiles.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: Your desire to protect those around you important to you
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: is honorable.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: You will now do so with the shield of our lady.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: Out of the beam of light that bore this woman
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: down to Earth comes a circular shield that moves to
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: your arm, latches hold, and will be with you. You
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: can choose whether it be seen or not, but it
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: is a boon and a boost to your defensive powers
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: when defending those you care about.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna make it visible what
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: I want it to be like when I'm in costume. Yeah. Perfect,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you. And then.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: Knowledge of the magic of the stars, and I will
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: leave you with this. The people of Earth have discovered
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: that stars are for the most part made of gas
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: and float out in the reaches of the heavens. But
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: there are points of light out there that are windows
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: to another world, a world that encompasses and hugs your own.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: This is the realm from which my masters have come,
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: and to which they will never return. They made many
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: mistakes in their interactions with the Terrans they call you,
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: and thus have bound themselves to the planetary bodies and
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: do what they can to help those in need. When
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: in grave need. The power that you have gained is
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: not a system to be learned, but a force to
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: be wielded.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: You.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: I will guard this knowledge and not abuse it. Will
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I see you again? She says it is unlikely, really,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: but good luck? What's your name? Alathea? Alia? To tell
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: everyone up there versus.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: Hello, She smiles, good luck, right, Joel, and her beam
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: reignites and she is sucked back into space.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Oh oh hey, it worked, everybody.
