Hunter's Haven: Trick or Treat, Fight or Flee - Episode 1 · Session Zero Heroes | TTRPG Actual Play Adventures & Improv Storytelling

• 0:15
  >> Skylar: Last time on hunter's haven. Trick or
• 0:18
  treat, fight or flee.
• 0:20
  >> Cameron: Our first character I'm gonna introduce is
• 0:23
  Alex. Alex is a
• 0:25
  religious youth, who embodies
• 0:28
  a heroic spirit. They, believe that they have been
• 0:30
  chosen to protect the innocent, and champion
• 0:33
  the cause of good against any malevolent forces that
• 0:36
  they may threaten, that may threaten their friends.
• 0:39
  I'm bible. No one knows
• 0:42
  who bible man is. Is that because that's the only
• 0:44
  costume your parents would let you have? Yes.
• 0:48
  >> Cameron: He wanted to be a superhero. Like, he.
• 0:50
  He likes costume, but he has to, like, secretly read
• 0:53
  them. Yeah, I've got the plastic armor, the
• 0:56
  cheap plastic shield, everything, and the cheap
• 0:59
  bible man lightsaber.
• 1:01
  >> Cameron: So we're gonna come next to our second character, and
• 1:04
  that's gonna be Maya. Now, Maya is
• 1:07
  a quirky and surprisingly knowledgeable friend with
• 1:10
  an uncanny affinity for anything
• 1:12
  supernatural. Her mind is brimming with
• 1:14
  tales of strange occurrences, both legendary and
• 1:17
  bizarre, making her an essential guide through tonight's
• 1:20
  adventures. So, Maya, tell us about yourself.
• 1:23
  >> Mikayla: You know Kim possible?
• 1:24
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 1:24
  >> Mikayla: I was gonna be Rufus. I am
• 1:27
  Rufus because my group of who
• 1:30
  I think are really great friends, they are all, like, you know,
• 1:33
  Kim possible and Ron and I got wrapped
• 1:36
  into being the naked mole rat we're going to
• 1:39
  James.
• 1:40
  >> Cameron: James is a dedicated horror movie buff,
• 1:43
  whose encyclopedic knowledge of folklore and
• 1:46
  monster hunting weapons him with useful insights and
• 1:48
  strategies for overcoming whatever challenges lie
• 1:51
  ahead.
• 1:51
  >> Skylar: so James Rodriguez is a mall goth, and
• 1:54
  he tugs like this. And his
• 1:57
  costume that he's wearing this Halloween
• 2:00
  is the crow
• 2:03
  from the movie the Crow. He loves
• 2:06
  horror. Cause James has a lot of punk
• 2:09
  songs he's gonna be referencing throughout this.
• 2:11
  >> Cameron: So our last character,
• 2:13
  but this is Ella. Ella is a self
• 2:16
  proclaimed skeptic who craves a typical
• 2:19
  Halloween filled with candy and fun.
• 2:22
  Her grounded nature might provide balance to the
• 2:25
  chaos, but she also finds herself questioning
• 2:28
  everything that happens around them.
• 2:30
  >> Cameron: So she's the straight man of the group. Yeah,
• 2:33
  well, I imagine Ella as, like, a really
• 2:36
  kind of whiny, sort of. Kind of like Arnold from
• 2:39
  magic school bus. And in that same vein, she is in
• 2:42
  a Miss frizzle costume.
• 2:43
  >> Cameron: So the setting is, you know, you're a regular suburban town during Halloween
• 2:46
  night. Ah, you know, shadows loom larger than life,
• 2:49
  and every corner beckons with the promise of
• 2:51
  adventure. So as the sun dips
• 2:55
  below the horizon, the scent of fallen leaves mixes
• 2:57
  with the crisp, chill air of October that
• 3:00
  dances playfully along the streets, the
• 3:03
  vibrant hues of Jack o lanterns flickering to life. painting the
• 3:06
  darkening world in glowing shades of orange and yellow.
• 3:09
  You and your friends clad in ghostly costumes,
• 3:12
  excitement bubbling within you, set out for your night of trick
• 3:15
  or treating. This year, however, feels
• 3:17
  peculiar. Is it that you are each a year
• 3:20
  older, finding yourself closer to being too cool for
• 3:23
  trick or treating? Is it the
• 3:26
  extra tales whispered among children and adults
• 3:29
  about a local legend of a haunted house? Is
• 3:31
  it the local troublemaker, the
• 3:34
  local busybody, Miss Douglas, who is
• 3:37
  a not quite octogenarian, but you have no idea
• 3:40
  how old. She's just old that tells everyone
• 3:43
  that, you know, oh, trick or treating is getting more
• 3:45
  dangerous. Every time you hear about it. She has a different story
• 3:48
  about something bad that happened to somebody and to
• 3:51
  her, you know, every time she talks to her parents, it seems
• 3:54
  like she's saying, well, maybe we should just tone it down this
• 3:56
  year.
• 4:00
  So as you go out there, you notice
• 4:03
  a lot of, a lot of houses are dark. They don't,
• 4:06
  they don't have their porch light on. They don't have any decorations. They've
• 4:09
  kind of stepped back from the tradition this
• 4:11
  year. you'll notice that while there's other kids
• 4:14
  out, there's not as many
• 4:17
  as you would think. So in front of
• 4:20
  you, you're going to see, you know,
• 4:23
  let's call it a quarter of the house is
• 4:25
  litanous in these houses. and then at the end of the
• 4:28
  street, you're going to see
• 4:31
  a weathered looking house. We'll get to more
• 4:34
  details of that after we kind of play around a little bit. But the
• 4:37
  first thing I want you to do is decide for
• 4:40
  yourselves what happens next. You are
• 4:42
  standing where you've decided to meet at the end of this street called a
• 4:45
  cul de sac. I don't know. and there are, out of twelve
• 4:48
  houses, there are four houses. There are four houses. How many kids in
• 4:51
  costumes do we see?
• 4:52
  >> Cameron: at the moment, it seems like the cul de sac has been cleared out. It's
• 4:55
  kind of like, as you were turning to come into this cul de sac,
• 4:58
  the, the, you know, chaperoned group of little kids is going
• 5:01
  the opposite direction because they pass you leaving and you don't know any of
• 5:04
  them, so you haven't really. They aren't. You didn't hear them talking about anything.
• 5:06
  >> Mikayla: So basically, we're the last ones
• 5:09
  there, and we're gonna get the rest of the candy from these
• 5:12
  houses.
• 5:13
  >> Cameron: That would be what you would assume you have to make a
• 5:16
  decision to go to these four houses. Now, you'll notice four
• 5:19
  players, four houses. Maybe some deductive reasoning here. I'll
• 5:22
  let you decide what happens with that, though.
• 5:23
  >> Cameron: James, you said this is the,
• 5:26
  busiest part of town.
• 5:28
  >> Skylar: Yeah, well, I just moved here, so I don't know why
• 5:31
  you listen to me at all.
• 5:32
  >> Cameron: Because you go every year, you said.
• 5:34
  >> Skylar: Well, yeah, in a different neighborhood, you.
• 5:36
  >> Cameron: Said, cul de sacs are the sweet spot of the
• 5:38
  suburbia.
• 5:39
  >> Skylar: Okay, well, yeah, that's true. They are. They are usually. So I'm kind
• 5:42
  of surprised. I'm as surprised as you. This, all. This all has something
• 5:45
  to do with that. Misses M. Douglas.
• 5:46
  >> Cameron: I've been looking forward to this for three months,
• 5:49
  James.
• 5:50
  >> Skylar: Well, I mean, hey, the little bit that we've
• 5:53
  done.
• 5:53
  >> Cameron: Ella, all about Halloween, she was so
• 5:56
  excited. Look at her costume.
• 5:58
  >> Cameron: I really like the baby roosts that I
• 6:01
  got in here. If you guys don't want your baby roast, I'll have them.
• 6:04
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you can have my.
• 6:05
  >> Skylar: I don't want my baby. My baby roost. So you can have them, Ella.
• 6:08
  >> Cameron: Thank you.
• 6:08
  >> Skylar: I need to make room for, to get my hand in
• 6:11
  here, to get my eggs.
• 6:12
  >> Cameron: I need three musketeers. Do you have three
• 6:15
  musketeers?
• 6:16
  >> Cameron: I'll trade you three musketeers, but I'm gonna need a
• 6:19
  Reese's.
• 6:20
  >> Skylar: I'm not giving you my Reese's.
• 6:21
  >> Cameron: I got a Reese's.
• 6:22
  >> Skylar: Are you kidding me?
• 6:23
  >> Cameron: Or family?
• 6:24
  >> Cameron: Yeah, yeah, anything to keep you.
• 6:27
  >> Skylar: Okay, so here's the plan. Okay, so there's an
• 6:30
  unspoken rule for you guys that don't Halloween very often,
• 6:33
  right? So if the light's on and they give you candy,
• 6:36
  that's good. but it's a trick or a
• 6:38
  treatise. So if they give you the treat, awesome.
• 6:41
  If they don't, then they get a trick. So all these
• 6:44
  houses with no lights on. Bam. And he pulls
• 6:47
  out a carton of eggs from his, his
• 6:50
  pumpkin. Plastic pumpkin
• 6:52
  bucket.
• 6:53
  >> Cameron: We're gonna give him eggs. Isn't that like an Easter
• 6:55
  thing?
• 6:56
  >> Skylar: well, it's a. That's a fair point,
• 6:59
  but they're not hard boiled.
• 7:02
  >> Cameron: So what are you gonna do with the eggs?
• 7:04
  >> Skylar: And he looks both ways, and he.
• 7:06
  >> Skylar: Leans in close, he says, we're gonna.
• 7:07
  >> Skylar: Throw em at the houses.
• 7:09
  >> Cameron: That seems immoral.
• 7:10
  >> Cameron: That's gonna make a mess.
• 7:12
  >> Skylar: It is gonna make a mess.
• 7:13
  >> Cameron: You get it, Ella, who's gonna clean up the mess?
• 7:16
  >> Skylar: I don't know. Them. Probably
• 7:21
  not us. And he takes one of the eggs, and he just hugs
• 7:24
  it. I don't imagine he has a very good
• 7:27
  capability. When it comes to anything physical, and it
• 7:29
  probably is.
• 7:30
  >> Cameron: Just to be clear, you're still standing at the end of the street.
• 7:35
  >> Skylar: It just goes like, 510ft.
• 7:37
  >> Cameron: Were you aiming for, like, the first.
• 7:38
  >> Cameron: House or you, like, four houses down?
• 7:40
  >> Skylar: It, like, lands in their yard, softly in the
• 7:43
  grass.
• 7:43
  >> Cameron: It doesn't even break.
• 7:47
  >> Cameron: Ella just walks over, picks it up.
• 7:50
  >> Cameron: Wow, that's.
• 7:51
  >> Skylar: Yeah, keep. You throw it. Throw it at the house.
• 7:54
  >> Cameron: But I don't want to make a mess.
• 7:57
  You just gingerly pieces it back in your.
• 8:00
  >> Skylar: Thank you.
• 8:01
  >> Skylar: All right. And I start walking toward.
• 8:03
  Walking towards one of the split
• 8:06
  houses.
• 8:07
  >> Cameron: James, is this what they normally do on Halloween?
• 8:09
  >> Skylar: Yeah, this is, like I said, it's the proverbial,
• 8:12
  unspoken rule.
• 8:13
  >> Cameron: Is this true, Maya?
• 8:14
  >> Mikayla: For some of the people.
• 8:21
  >> Cameron: That was so good.
• 8:23
  >> Cameron: Well, I feel safe.
• 8:25
  >> Cameron: All right, so as you're debating this,
• 8:27
  you see someone in one of the dark
• 8:30
  houses, kind of open the door and say, hey, what are you
• 8:33
  doing?
• 8:34
  >> Skylar: Trick or treating? What are you doing?
• 8:36
  >> Cameron: What's that in your hands?
• 8:38
  >> Cameron: it's, feather scotch, sir.
• 8:40
  >> Cameron: It's a baby rose.
• 8:41
  >> Cameron: Why.
• 8:41
  >> Skylar: Why did we all say different candies? Do you know how fake
• 8:44
  that sounds?
• 8:45
  >> Cameron: Fake? It's.
• 8:46
  >> Cameron: I have a baby roast.
• 8:47
  >> Skylar: He was asking about what's in my hand, and we all said different candy.
• 8:50
  >> Cameron: Why are you showing him?
• 8:51
  >> Skylar: I'm not. I'm trying not to.
• 8:54
  >> Cameron: This guy who's just, you know, your average
• 8:57
  suburban dad. Just listening to
• 9:00
  this. I'd like if you're, you know, any dungeons and
• 9:03
  addies listeners in the neighborhood, you can figure who I'm talking
• 9:05
  about.
• 9:08
  It's not that dark. I can see you're holding eggs.
• 9:11
  >> Skylar: What?
• 9:13
  >> Cameron: We're racing baby chicks.
• 9:14
  >> Cameron: Alex, is that you?
• 9:16
  >> Skylar: It's part of us.
• 9:17
  >> Cameron: Alex, are you guys. Are you kids
• 9:20
  going around egging houses?
• 9:22
  >> Cameron: No.
• 9:22
  >> Cameron: Do I need to call your father?
• 9:23
  >> Cameron: I'm spreading the word of the lord.
• 9:25
  >> Cameron: I'm Bible man. If I have an egg on my house, I'm
• 9:28
  calling your dad. Alex.
• 9:31
  >> Cameron: Yes, sir, Mister Gunderson, sir.
• 9:36
  And I salute him with my
• 9:39
  saber.
• 9:43
  >> Skylar: That was pretty good cover.
• 9:44
  >> Cameron: you know what? I talked to all my neighbors, so if I see any
• 9:47
  eggs, I'm also calling your dad again.
• 9:50
  >> Cameron: Wow. Word spreads fast on Halloween.
• 9:53
  >> Cameron: I actually am probably gonna have a conversation at church with him about
• 9:56
  why you're out here trick or treating.
• 9:58
  >> Cameron: We compromised, Mister Gunderson.
• 10:01
  >> Cameron: I'm sorry. I didn't realize that the Lord compromised.
• 10:06
  >> Cameron: He slams his door
• 10:09
  so close.
• 10:10
  >> Cameron: So you need to decide to. There will be
• 10:12
  repercussions for Alex. If you choose to throw, I would.
• 10:15
  >> Cameron: Hope you don't throw those eggs.
• 10:17
  >> Skylar: Hold on to the eggs for now. We'll get to a different culture.
• 10:20
  >> Cameron: Save it for a different.
• 10:21
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 10:21
  >> Cameron: Remember, you have twelve eggs.
• 10:23
  >> Skylar: All right, I've got twelve eggs.
• 10:24
  >> Cameron: Just think about it, though, James. He's got hoa on his side.
• 10:27
  We don't mess with hoa.
• 10:30
  >> Skylar: The what? Hoa. What is
• 10:33
  that?
• 10:34
  >> Cameron: Isn't that the thing that runs the cul de sac hoa?
• 10:37
  >> Skylar: I've never heard of that before.
• 10:38
  >> Cameron: I don't know. It's, like, homeowners or something.
• 10:40
  >> Mikayla: Again, the homeowners Owners
• 10:42
  association.
• 10:43
  >> Skylar: The homeowners associate.
• 10:45
  >> Cameron: Oh, that's what it stood for. Oh, this
• 10:48
  bob's like, home owned anonymous or something like
• 10:51
  that.
• 10:51
  >> Skylar: The tribunal.
• 10:52
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna be 100% with you guys. I thought this was some super
• 10:55
  christian thing. Oh, I
• 10:58
  didn't know. It was like a shortening of Jehovah. I don't
• 11:01
  know.
• 11:02
  >> Cameron: We don't mess with Hova.
• 11:06
  It's slang.
• 11:07
  >> Cameron: Is that God's gang name? I don't even
• 11:09
  know.
• 11:10
  >> Skylar: I'm part of God's game.
• 11:13
  >> Cameron: Skivity.
• 11:16
  >> Skylar: All right, gang.
• 11:17
  >> Cameron: Again, just to recap, just to keep it on the rails,
• 11:21
  four houses, four kids.
• 11:24
  Do you each wanna go hit up a house really quick and get some
• 11:26
  candy?
• 11:27
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you know, it's getting nice of
• 11:30
  young. Yeah, hit em up.
• 11:32
  >> Skylar: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go to that one. You go to that one. You
• 11:35
  go to that one.
• 11:35
  >> Cameron: We're splitting up.
• 11:37
  >> Skylar: Well, tell them you need four kids worth of candy.
• 11:40
  >> Cameron: Tell you what, you can do these.
• 11:42
  >> Cameron: Together and just, you know, one person can be,
• 11:45
  like, the lead on each, or you can do them separately, and we'll go
• 11:48
  through one by one.
• 11:49
  >> Cameron: Let's do them together.
• 11:50
  >> Cameron: And just one kid's got the lead.
• 11:52
  >> Skylar: Well, I was gonna say we split up, and then. And then think about it. You say,
• 11:55
  hey, I've got friends, but they're not here right now.
• 11:58
  And then you get four kids with a candy. Then I show up their house
• 12:01
  and I say, I've got friends.
• 12:03
  >> Cameron: I don't like being dishonest and stuff. Fine.
• 12:05
  >> Mikayla: All right.
• 12:05
  >> Skylar: We'll go together.
• 12:06
  >> Cameron: Besides, I mean, Maya already said, well, probably get the
• 12:09
  rest of the candy, because we're the last kids of the night. Look at this place. It's
• 12:12
  a ghostland.
• 12:13
  >> Skylar: That's not a bad point.
• 12:14
  >> Cameron: And that was a Halloween pun.
• 12:17
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:18
  >> Cameron: All right, so, all right, which house
• 12:21
  do you want to go to first?
• 12:23
  >> Cameron: Let's call it Mister Black's. House.
• 12:26
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. You, tell you lead the way. Cause I don't know
• 12:29
  who that is. I just moved here.
• 12:30
  >> Cameron: Oh, he's the pallbearer at
• 12:32
  church.
• 12:34
  >> Cameron: There's usually more than one of those.
• 12:36
  >> Cameron: They usually have six.
• 12:37
  >> Cameron: This guy just carries the coffin by
• 12:40
  himself.
• 12:40
  >> Cameron: Whoa.
• 12:41
  >> Skylar: This guy must be Jack.
• 12:43
  >> Cameron: He also has offerings.
• 12:45
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 12:46
  >> Cameron: Feel like you should have led with that one.
• 12:47
  >> Cameron: I messed up. I messed
• 12:50
  up.
• 12:51
  >> Skylar: Is he involved with the body and the blood?
• 12:54
  >> Cameron: Yes, sir. Occasionally on the pastures though. Anyways, I'm
• 12:57
  gonna walk up to his place and knock on the
• 12:59
  door.
• 13:02
  >> Cameron: Alright. He opens the door.
• 13:05
  >> Cameron: Greetings, mister Black. Oh, sorry. Tricker
• 13:08
  three.
• 13:09
  >> Cameron: Mmm. Hello. I
• 13:12
  suppose I need to give you some candy. Young
• 13:14
  sir, I will say
• 13:17
  I'm very impressed with your godly
• 13:20
  costume. We do not see enough of that these days,
• 13:23
  in my opinion.
• 13:24
  >> Cameron: Thank you.
• 13:25
  >> Cameron: So he's going to hold out the bucket of. And
• 13:28
  I'm gonna drummy, on your character sheet, I'm gonna
• 13:31
  have you roll. And we're just gonna do a simple one. I'm gonna have
• 13:34
  you roll. just a simple
• 13:36
  investigate. So that's sharp. There's just one.
• 13:39
  Just if you're the lead on this, it's just gonna be your
• 13:42
  roll. So roll. Do two, d, six.
• 13:43
  >> Cameron: Oh, that is a shame. Cause I rolled a twelve.
• 13:45
  >> Skylar: I'm gonna make sure that he doesn't.
• 13:46
  >> Cameron: Have razor blades in there. So you rolled
• 13:48
  both plus sharp. Oh, and we're just gonna decide
• 13:51
  what's.
• 13:51
  >> Skylar: That'd be a dark take on a plus.
• 13:53
  >> Cameron: So seven total, including your plus, I got twelve.
• 13:56
  So with a seven, you're going to be able
• 13:58
  to. There's a limited amount of candy
• 14:01
  in there. you got some
• 14:03
  butterscotches. you got some of
• 14:06
  those strawberry twist candies.
• 14:10
  You got some knockoff reeses that
• 14:13
  are, I don't know, shaped like a, Christmas
• 14:15
  tree. They're obviously just older.
• 14:18
  They're obviously cropped. That's a long way away.
• 14:21
  This guy is not probably the popular house.
• 14:24
  >> Skylar: So there's not enough for all of us for.
• 14:26
  >> Cameron: And then at the bottom of it, you're gonna see what
• 14:29
  looks like just an old fishing
• 14:32
  net. Like this is obviously just a bucket he grabbed out of the garage
• 14:35
  and tossed some candy. So if you decide
• 14:38
  to, you can grab a fishing net with
• 14:41
  in probably nothing fancy. Just you know, like
• 14:44
  a mesh net six by, you know, six foot wide. Six
• 14:47
  foot, you know, just been sitting in the bottom of a plastic bucket.
• 14:49
  >> Cameron: We could just take the net.
• 14:51
  >> Cameron: I don't know. Is he gonna stop you?
• 14:52
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 14:53
  >> Cameron: Reach in. Grab the stuff. He's facing away from you, holding out a bucket.
• 14:56
  >> Cameron: What do you grab the candy. I don't.
• 14:59
  I don't.
• 14:59
  >> Cameron: Which one do you have a handful of? All of it.
• 15:01
  >> Cameron: I grab a couple strawberry things and toss them into
• 15:04
  my strawberry. My. Yeah, he said the
• 15:07
  strawberry wrap strings.
• 15:09
  >> Cameron: No, no, no. It's like.
• 15:11
  >> Cameron: It looks like the little red thing.
• 15:13
  >> Cameron: With like a green tiny.
• 15:14
  >> Cameron: It's the old people can.
• 15:16
  >> Cameron: This is the old people candy he's handing out?
• 15:18
  >> Cameron: Yes. His man is.
• 15:19
  >> Cameron: I take some strawberry things and I put them into my, bag of truth.
• 15:22
  >> Mikayla: I'm 100% taken to that.
• 15:23
  >> Cameron: You have any Werther's originals?
• 15:26
  >> Skylar: That's such a good candy frill.
• 15:31
  >> Cameron: Are those butters? That's kind of what I meant by.
• 15:32
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah.
• 15:33
  >> Cameron: Those are butters. Yes.
• 15:34
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 15:34
  >> Cameron: Oh, score. Werther's originals.
• 15:37
  >> Cameron: You can have mine, Ella. Ah,
• 15:40
  wonderful.
• 15:41
  >> Skylar: The Christmas tree.
• 15:46
  Thanks, mister Black.
• 15:48
  >> Cameron: Yeah, thank you, mister Black.
• 15:49
  >> Cameron: Okay, so just to be recap, you, now
• 15:52
  have a, net. And the rest of you have some mediocre
• 15:55
  candy.
• 15:56
  >> Cameron: Mediocre at best, says
• 15:59
  Werther's originals. That's the best candy I've gotten all
• 16:01
  night.
• 16:02
  >> Cameron: so the house doesn't.
• 16:04
  >> Skylar: As I walk away. As I walk away, I say,
• 16:08
  thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so
• 16:11
  great.
• 16:12
  >> Cameron: Is that a fallout boy reference?
• 16:13
  >> Skylar: That is a fallout boy reference.
• 16:15
  >> Cameron: I will say.
• 16:17
  >> Skylar: I wanted to end it with this candy. Tastes like you only,
• 16:20
  but that sounds weird. That starts to get weird.
• 16:22
  >> Cameron: All right, so, you have completed this one. You
• 16:25
  have received some candy, and maybe more
• 16:28
  importantly, who knows? A plastic net.
• 16:31
  >> Skylar: That's true.
• 16:32
  >> Cameron: Who's taking the lead on the next house? I don't. I only
• 16:35
  know a few more of the houses here, but they're all lights out
• 16:38
  of. I guess they view this holiday as a sin against
• 16:41
  God.
• 16:42
  >> Skylar: Yeah, it's the best holiday ever.
• 16:44
  >> Cameron: I don't like it when you say stuff like that.
• 16:47
  >> Skylar: Here's the thing. It wouldn't have sounded as bad if I didn't have to follow up what
• 16:50
  you said before. That if I had just
• 16:52
  said it's like the best holiday ever. Completely
• 16:55
  raw context.
• 16:57
  >> Cameron: Context does not wonders.
• 16:59
  >> Skylar: But I blame you on that one.
• 17:01
  >> Cameron: All right.
• 17:02
  >> Cameron: So did he say James?
• 17:04
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 17:04
  >> Cameron: James is taking 30 because it's James. you go up
• 17:07
  to a nice picket fence.
• 17:09
  >> Cameron: Do your rigma. Do your whole thing.
• 17:10
  >> Cameron: All right.
• 17:11
  >> Skylar: I push it through the picket fence. I look
• 17:13
  at the mailbox. What is the name on the mailbox?
• 17:16
  >> Cameron: it just says daughtry.
• 17:17
  >> Skylar: Daughtry, the dogtree
• 17:19
  family. I push open the fence, and
• 17:22
  I stride confidently up, but I'm, like, doing, like,
• 17:25
  I'm, like, crouched a little bit. Cause I'm trying to do my, like, crow
• 17:28
  impersonation, like, being stealthy. And I sneak
• 17:31
  up to the. To the porch. Do they, by chance,
• 17:34
  have a bucket.
• 17:35
  >> Skylar: Of candy sitting out?
• 17:37
  >> Cameron: Ooh. they actually do.
• 17:40
  So I'm gonna have you. Since you rolled with
• 17:43
  that. You don't have to do any of the other stuff.
• 17:46
  You. Since you just. You snuck up. I'm actually gonna
• 17:49
  have you, just, you just get it. You know, we're not
• 17:52
  gonna. I'm not gonna make you do anything else. There's not a lot of
• 17:54
  physicals that kind of fit with this. So, inside
• 17:57
  of this bucket, you're gonna see. It's
• 18:00
  actually. Have you ever seen those clear plastic travel bags?
• 18:03
  Mm it's actually just a collection
• 18:06
  of self care things. Inside,
• 18:09
  there's a plastic travel toothbrush, and in each one, there's a little
• 18:12
  plastic toothbrush. There is a little, you know,
• 18:15
  pack of.
• 18:16
  >> Cameron: He's the dentist.
• 18:17
  >> Cameron: Yeah, he's the dentist guy. He's doctor. Doctor.
• 18:21
  maybe a. So inside of it, there's going. It's almost
• 18:24
  like a little, like, vacation care pack, right? You have travel
• 18:27
  toothpaste. You have a toothbrush, one of those little folding ones.
• 18:30
  You have little, you know,
• 18:33
  little pack of sunscreen, and you
• 18:35
  have a disposable camera.
• 18:37
  >> Skylar: Oh, really?
• 18:39
  >> Cameron: Yep. That's actually one of those, like, you know, cheapo.
• 18:41
  Yeah.
• 18:42
  >> Skylar: Like a kodak.
• 18:43
  >> Cameron: Yeah. with a flash and everything. So,
• 18:46
  you have access to anything your heart can
• 18:49
  desire from that.
• 18:51
  >> Skylar: Perfect. Wait, those are each different
• 18:54
  or in one pack?
• 18:55
  >> Cameron: That's just one little, you know, those little travel bags.
• 18:58
  Yeah, they're just packed in there. You know, there's a camera, little
• 19:01
  toothbrush, you know, just like, oh, you're going on vacation. Here's, you
• 19:04
  know, some things to make your vacation better. Dotry makes the money,
• 19:07
  and the, toothbrush is branded with Dotry, right?
• 19:10
  >> Skylar: Oh, that's weird.
• 19:11
  >> Cameron: But yeah, no, like, his name. Like, it's the actual
• 19:13
  doctor on the brush.
• 19:16
  >> Skylar: Like, he got custom toothbrushes. yeah. I take
• 19:19
  one, and I look over at the rest of the. Have you
• 19:21
  guys come up to the. Yeah.
• 19:23
  >> Cameron: Thing?
• 19:23
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay, never mind. Yeah, I'm just hiding in the
• 19:26
  shadows. Normally, I see the sunscreen on it, and I
• 19:28
  go, this will be perfect. For my pale, pale skin,
• 19:31
  my pale vampire skin.
• 19:33
  >> Cameron: Do you pick up the camera?
• 19:35
  >> Skylar: Not yet.
• 19:36
  >> Cameron: Oh, okay.
• 19:36
  >> Cameron: So have you take. Did you actually take a pack?
• 19:39
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 19:39
  >> Cameron: Okay, so you took a pack. The rest of you guys want to take a pack with
• 19:42
  you? You take one. Or you're just kind of like.
• 19:43
  >> Cameron: I walk over free camera.
• 19:45
  >> Cameron: yeah.
• 19:46
  >> Cameron: I see the camera, I go, oh, picture that with a Kodak.
• 19:49
  is that punk enough for you?
• 19:51
  >> Skylar: I don't get that reference.
• 19:53
  >> Cameron: It's Pitbull.
• 19:54
  >> Skylar: Pitbull wouldn't be out by this point, actually.
• 19:56
  >> Cameron: I don't know if it's like late.
• 19:58
  >> Cameron: 2000,
• 20:01
  same time, like.
• 20:03
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, no, he has no idea. I don't know what you guys are talking
• 20:06
  about.
• 20:06
  >> Cameron: Pit bull's like my favorite artist.
• 20:08
  >> Cameron: He's like the best rapper I know.
• 20:10
  >> Skylar: You guys are posers.
• 20:12
  >> Cameron: what rappers does your character know?
• 20:17
  Toby Mac. Oh, this is
• 20:20
  like.
• 20:20
  >> Cameron: It's like fedora Toby Mac era.
• 20:24
  >> Cameron: He doesn't make some Jesus freak bump
• 20:27
  to that.
• 20:29
  >> Cameron: Extreme days really gets the heart pumping.
• 20:32
  >> Skylar: It was a good song. I want to deny it.
• 20:35
  >> Cameron: Anyways, when I take my
• 20:38
  to go pack, and I don't know why I'm doing this in the
• 20:41
  voice, when.
• 20:41
  >> Cameron: I take my to go pack in.
• 20:42
  >> Cameron: Kodak, I, pop them in the, bag of truth,
• 20:45
  and, I also pull out of my
• 20:48
  bag of truth, or rather, I pull it out from my
• 20:51
  breastplate of righteousness. I pull out
• 20:54
  some tracks, idle man specific tracks, and I
• 20:57
  place them inside the bowl.
• 20:58
  >> Skylar: Do you know that, that doctor Dotry doesn't
• 21:01
  attend church service?
• 21:03
  >> Cameron: Is that what the situation is? The thing is, if I know of the
• 21:05
  houses, I know of the family. I don't recognize the
• 21:08
  name daughtry. Oh, doesn't go to our church.
• 21:11
  >> Skylar: That's right. So gotta leave him some pamphlets.
• 21:14
  >> Cameron: That's why I brought him proselytizing.
• 21:16
  >> Cameron: Yeah, that's bold.
• 21:17
  >> Cameron: That's bold.
• 21:18
  >> Skylar: It's impressive.
• 21:19
  >> Cameron: You gotta make impact in the dark, dark world.
• 21:21
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 21:22
  >> Cameron: Anyway, guys, let's move on to the next house.
• 21:24
  >> Skylar: The reality of the situation is that any other kid that comes up to get
• 21:27
  a pack of whatever is just.
• 21:28
  >> Cameron: Gonna also see the pamphlets and assume.
• 21:30
  >> Skylar: That doctor Dotry left them for the kids to take.
• 21:33
  >> Cameron: Do you go into each pack and slip a track into the pack or do
• 21:36
  you.
• 21:36
  >> Cameron: No, I just leave them in the bowl just
• 21:39
  for anyone who's willing to take. Is it
• 21:42
  normal for people not to be handing out the candy
• 21:45
  themselves?
• 21:46
  >> Skylar: Yeah, it happens sometimes. Especially if they're wealthier.
• 21:48
  >> Cameron: Also, is it normal for it to not be candy?
• 21:52
  >> Skylar: Yeah, you get some weirdos sometimes. Just be glad that
• 21:54
  it's not like the candy apple
• 21:57
  lady or the.
• 21:59
  >> Cameron: I mean, we still have two more houses.
• 22:01
  >> Skylar: That's true. Or the dude that just hands you like a little pack of
• 22:04
  band aids or something.
• 22:05
  >> Cameron: Like rock.
• 22:06
  >> Cameron: Or a rock.
• 22:07
  >> Skylar: You've had people give you a rock?
• 22:11
  man, if someone handed me a rock, I'd throw it right back in their window.
• 22:13
  >> Cameron: They ran out of.
• 22:17
  >> Cameron: They probably saw that look in the ride
• 22:21
  they went to.
• 22:21
  >> Cameron: The one who's got that dull glazed over.
• 22:26
  >> Skylar: I would like to push my luck a little bit. I'm
• 22:29
  gonna reach in and grab a second packet
• 22:32
  from this ball on the ring.
• 22:34
  >> Cameron: He shoves the Bible truck out of.
• 22:36
  >> Skylar: The way.
• 22:38
  >> Cameron: On the ring doorbell. It comes.
• 22:42
  >> Cameron: Doorbells.
• 22:43
  >> Cameron: There's a ring doorbell. Yeah.
• 22:44
  >> Cameron: You know what?
• 22:45
  >> Cameron: We put Pitbull in this world. You know Pitbull, if
• 22:47
  Pitbull exists. Oh, Pitbull's from the two thousands.
• 22:50
  >> Cameron: They're early adopters of the ring technology.
• 22:52
  >> Cameron: Okay, maybe it comes through the real doorbell like.
• 22:55
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 22:55
  >> Cameron: He just yells out, it's got an intercom. Hey,
• 22:58
  okay, it's a camera and an intercom. No one's mixed them together.
• 23:00
  >> Skylar: I just look at it and I go, it's just a pre programmed sound. Don't worry about it. I
• 23:03
  put it in the bucket and I walk away.
• 23:07
  >> Cameron: James, don't make me call your dad.
• 23:10
  >> Skylar: Why do people know who I am?
• 23:11
  >> Cameron: Here, put it back.
• 23:13
  >> Skylar: I I walk back over the bucket.
• 23:16
  >> Cameron: Oh, don't worry, mister Datchery, he can just have mine. And I put
• 23:18
  mine back in for him. So
• 23:21
  I'm just gonna erase my characters.
• 23:24
  >> Cameron: So you now have two packets. He has zero.
• 23:27
  >> Cameron: dang it.
• 23:28
  >> Skylar: I had a great song lyric for that, but it kind of
• 23:31
  feels wrong to use it. I'll save it
• 23:34
  for later.
• 23:35
  >> Cameron: I'll just share owls.
• 23:37
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I'll just keep the toothbrush. That's all
• 23:40
  I want.
• 23:40
  >> Cameron: I want the camera. Yeah, memories last forever.
• 23:43
  >> Skylar: I just came. I
• 23:46
  chimed in with the haven't you people ever heard
• 23:48
  of closing the gosh dang
• 23:51
  door?
• 23:52
  >> Cameron: He still doesn't swear.
• 23:53
  >> Skylar: He just feels a little off.
• 23:54
  >> Cameron: His door was closed the whole time.
• 23:56
  >> Skylar: Yeah, but he had to been looking through it.
• 23:58
  >> Cameron: It is his house. Yeah,
• 24:02
  don't have boiler.
• 24:05
  >> Skylar: He looks over at the window and.
• 24:06
  >> Mikayla: He says, more than one?
• 24:08
  >> Skylar: Let's just stop, drop everything, forget each other's
• 24:11
  names and just walk away.
• 24:14
  >> Cameron: I don't know that reference.
• 24:15
  >> Skylar: That's chiodos.
• 24:21
  >> Cameron: Just curious. How many. How many lyrics do you have written? I have
• 24:24
  quite a few ready.
• 24:25
  >> Skylar: And then, you know, in any downtime I might have.
• 24:28
  I'm gonna quick pull up some more.
• 24:30
  >> Cameron: James, have you ever thought, what would people think if they knew that
• 24:33
  I was a Jesus freak?
• 24:35
  >> Skylar: I haven't thought about that before, no.
• 24:37
  >> Cameron: Okay. Anyways, Maya, Ella, who's taking the next
• 24:40
  house?
• 24:40
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah.
• 24:41
  >> Mikayla: You.
• 24:41
  >> Cameron: I already. Oh, fine.
• 24:43
  >> Cameron: Fine by me. More.
• 24:44
  >> Mikayla: This is your first Halloween?
• 24:46
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 24:46
  >> Mikayla: Take advantage of it.
• 24:47
  >> Cameron: I'll do it.
• 24:49
  >> Cameron: So you don't want to. You don't want to take the lead on one? This is
• 24:51
  my end. Character is my other type. To walk up to a house
• 24:54
  by yourself dressed as a naked.
• 24:57
  Again, as a naked morad.
• 25:00
  >> Mikayla: Probably not.
• 25:01
  >> Cameron: She's in character. You got the second Maya.
• 25:03
  >> Skylar: You've got the second best costume out of all of us. I think it only makes sense that
• 25:06
  you get a nice, cool, grand entrance.
• 25:08
  >> Cameron: I mean, I'm more than fine being the lead because, And he pats
• 25:11
  his chest, he's like, I got plenty
• 25:14
  of these bad boys to hand out.
• 25:17
  >> Skylar: Oh, I thought you were gonna say. Because I've got the protection, the
• 25:19
  breastplate of righteousness.
• 25:21
  >> Cameron: Yeah. And I've got the, helmet of salvation, so
• 25:24
  I know what I'm doing.
• 25:25
  >> Skylar: I just don't.
• 25:26
  >> Cameron: Yep, that's hard as a rock.
• 25:29
  >> Cameron: He can leave for Ella. Cause
• 25:32
  Ella would be for sure the only reason she would go up to a house
• 25:35
  by herself is that she was forgotten by the rest of the group,
• 25:39
  and she just decides to go on her marriage.
• 25:41
  >> Cameron: She needs to use their phone.
• 25:43
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 25:44
  >> Cameron: Like, Ella just kind of was like, I'm just gonna go over here and
• 25:47
  thinking that, you know, her best friend and her
• 25:50
  cousin would come with, but, you know, they just veered off into
• 25:52
  another direction.
• 25:53
  >> Cameron: We didn't hear her while we were all talking.
• 25:55
  >> Cameron: She's very forgettable.
• 25:57
  >> Skylar: I go to Maya, I say, hey, look, I did a house.
• 26:00
  I think you should do a house,
• 26:04
  because if you jump, I will jump, too.
• 26:06
  And we will fall together from the building.
• 26:09
  Pledge.
• 26:10
  >> Cameron: Is this.
• 26:11
  >> Cameron: Anytime you see him looking at the laptop?
• 26:16
  >> Skylar: I know the song. I just want to make sure I get their lyrics
• 26:19
  just right, because somebody will comment, and they'll be like, yo, dude, it's
• 26:22
  supposed to be the. And not.
• 26:23
  >> Cameron: And it sounds like he really believes in you, Maya. I
• 26:26
  think you should do it.
• 26:27
  >> Cameron: So both of you are gonna walk up to a house. You're gonna have other
• 26:30
  people with you. You're not.
• 26:32
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 26:32
  >> Cameron: So, Ella, who wants to go first? Ella or Maya?
• 26:36
  >> Cameron: Maya.
• 26:37
  >> Cameron: Maya can go first.
• 26:38
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 26:39
  >> Cameron: And again, you have to do the voice. Just to be clear.
• 26:42
  >> Skylar: She's got her fingers underneath. Under her lip.
• 26:48
  >> Cameron: you wrote this into your own.
• 26:49
  >> Cameron: Character, so you can't have anyone else to blind.
• 26:50
  >> Cameron: I know.
• 26:51
  >> Mikayla: I'm kind of grabbing it.
• 26:53
  >> Cameron: At some point, you get to make the character decision. I'm now taking.
• 26:56
  >> Mikayla: I now take it out my teeth. We'll see
• 26:58
  how serious.
• 27:02
  Okay, so, walking up to the house. Is
• 27:04
  it going to be a house you have to knock on? Ring the
• 27:07
  doorbell.
• 27:08
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you're gonna. They have,
• 27:12
  No. it's a perfectly nice house. you actually
• 27:15
  recognize it? it's the house of one of the girls you
• 27:18
  thought you were gonna hang out with tonight.
• 27:20
  >> Skylar: What?
• 27:21
  >> Cameron: It's actually the girl who is gonna play Ron's
• 27:24
  house.
• 27:27
  >> Cameron: Oh.
• 27:28
  >> Mikayla: Stacy.
• 27:29
  >> Cameron: This was Stacey. Stacey's, house.
• 27:31
  >> Cameron: Her mom's got it going on.
• 27:32
  >> Cameron: Stacy Wheeler. Nice.
• 27:34
  >> Skylar: I know that one.
• 27:36
  >> Mikayla: I heard that, Stacy has
• 27:40
  full size candy bars at her house.
• 27:42
  >> Skylar: No way.
• 27:43
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, and, you know, since
• 27:46
  I'm basically, like, her best friend, they'll probably give me more than
• 27:49
  one.
• 27:49
  >> Cameron: Wait, if you're her best friend, why aren't you out trick or train with
• 27:51
  her?
• 27:53
  >> Skylar: Cause we're cooler.
• 27:54
  >> Cameron: That's true, actually.
• 27:55
  >> Skylar: Lead the way, Maya. Let's get those candy
• 27:58
  bars.
• 27:59
  >> Mikayla: Okay. I'll go knock on the door, ring the doorbell, whatever.
• 28:02
  Whatever the case is.
• 28:03
  >> Cameron: So this is where you're gonna have to help me.
• 28:06
  Let's say Stacy's mom decided to go all in on
• 28:09
  that joke. What would Stacy's mom be dressed
• 28:12
  as? But also not like Cleopatra.
• 28:15
  >> Cameron: Sexy cleopatra posse. Cleopatra.
• 28:17
  >> Cameron: No, we got gold member from golden.
• 28:21
  That fits perfectly for
• 28:24
  our non visual audience of this podcast.
• 28:27
  describe that costume for us.
• 28:29
  >> Cameron: So foxy Cleopatra. Basically,
• 28:32
  she's got this giant afro. She's
• 28:35
  got seventies bell bottom pants
• 28:37
  and
• 28:40
  essentially a bikini top, but it's a matching color
• 28:43
  to the seventies pants and, like, those
• 28:45
  high, high, seventies type
• 28:48
  heels. Typically. She was also. I think she had
• 28:51
  a gun, like a teeny tiny gold
• 28:54
  pistol or something. Cause she was gold member's, like, right
• 28:57
  hand lady.
• 28:57
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 28:59
  >> Cameron: So, Maya,
• 29:01
  you see your quote unquote
• 29:04
  friend's mom? Stacy's mom. That's how you know her.
• 29:07
  dressed in this costume,
• 29:09
  wearing high heels and bell
• 29:12
  bottoms and a matching top and a massive
• 29:15
  afro. Just a quick reminder, this is a
• 29:18
  nineties stay at home mom
• 29:21
  who is exceptionally white.
• 29:25
  So, you know, this is. This. This might be uncomfortable
• 29:28
  to the 2020s, but at the moment, it's whatever, right?
• 29:31
  Yeah, it's just.
• 29:34
  >> Mikayla: Trick or treat.
• 29:37
  >> Cameron: oh.
• 29:37
  >> Cameron: And she, like, holds out a bucket, and she's kind of
• 29:41
  swearing around. Is that you,
• 29:43
  Maya?
• 29:45
  >> Mikayla: You wet?
• 29:48
  >> Cameron: Aren't. Aren't you. Aren't you supposed to be with
• 29:51
  Stacy tonight?
• 29:53
  >> Mikayla: Well, like, my invite got lost in
• 29:56
  the mail. They said, for the party, so I'm hanging out with my other
• 29:58
  friends.
• 29:59
  >> Cameron: So they made you wear the costume,
• 30:02
  then? They didn't tell you where the party is?
• 30:05
  >> Mikayla: Well, like, the. Like I said, my invite got lost in the
• 30:08
  mail is invitation only.
• 30:12
  >> Cameron: Okay, honey, you take two, and she just holds
• 30:15
  out the candy.
• 30:15
  >> Cameron: Nice.
• 30:17
  >> Cameron: So you get two full size candy bars. Everybody else gets one.
• 30:20
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 30:20
  >> Cameron: The USP's. It's really going downhill.
• 30:26
  >> Cameron: She doesn't under. She does not understand that joke.
• 30:29
  That was in the joke.
• 30:33
  >> Cameron: That was in the chat.
• 30:34
  >> Cameron: That was just Alex.
• 30:37
  >> Cameron: That was Alex just commenting on the.
• 30:39
  >> Cameron: State of local government.
• 30:43
  >> Cameron: I think.
• 30:44
  >> Skylar: Okay, well, then he looks at her, a little surprised and
• 30:46
  disturbed and says, you
• 30:49
  could. Cause you can.
• 30:50
  >> Cameron: So you do. She's gonna slap your hand away
• 30:53
  when you reach for candy. I don't know what you're saying. No, I
• 30:56
  meant, like, I don't know what you're saying. That seems kind of mean.
• 31:00
  So you don't get a candy bar now? I don't get what the,
• 31:03
  >> Skylar: No one understands me.
• 31:05
  >> Cameron: What is he. He's kind of
• 31:08
  rude.
• 31:09
  >> Cameron: Oh, I'm Bible man. Oh, James.
• 31:12
  Oh, sorry.
• 31:14
  >> Cameron: The crow.
• 31:16
  Okay. And she just closes the door. You
• 31:19
  wait. My own. You got candy. You
• 31:22
  got your candy. What kind of candy bars did you grab?
• 31:24
  >> Mikayla: 100 grand.
• 31:25
  >> Cameron: Solid choice.
• 31:26
  >> Mikayla: And a Milky way.
• 31:29
  >> Cameron: Two for two. You. You did get a candy bar,
• 31:33
  kit.
• 31:33
  >> Cameron: Ah, Kat.
• 31:34
  >> Cameron: Overrated choice.
• 31:35
  >> Cameron: I'm at another house.
• 31:37
  >> Cameron: Oh, right. So you get nothing. So just you two.
• 31:39
  >> Skylar: I slide an egg under her
• 31:41
  doormat.
• 31:44
  >> Cameron: I slide a tract into the mailbox.
• 31:47
  >> Cameron: Oh, I don't
• 31:50
  know.
• 31:53
  All right, so that's gonna bring us from, So just
• 31:56
  write down your character, make sure you're aware.
• 31:58
  >> Cameron: I do want to establish. I 100% don't notice
• 32:00
  Ella's gone.
• 32:02
  >> Cameron: No one does.
• 32:02
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Has Ella noticed that everyone else is
• 32:05
  gone?
• 32:06
  >> Cameron: No, she just thinks she's leading the charge to the next house.
• 32:08
  >> Cameron: Okay, Ella.
• 32:09
  >> Skylar: Amazing.
• 32:09
  >> Cameron: Knock on the door. You just. It's your traditional.
• 32:12
  This is the house that's closest to the end of the cul de
• 32:15
  sac.
• 32:15
  >> Cameron: So she knocks on the door.
• 32:19
  Trick or treat.
• 32:21
  >> Cameron: Are you here? shuffling, like. Oh, I thought they were done. I don't
• 32:24
  know. Just stupid ass kid. Stupid kids,
• 32:28
  excuse me. We'll reset that. I don't know.
• 32:31
  I'll take your pizza. We're done. can you just. Just grab
• 32:34
  some popsicles and grab them out of the freezer? Like,
• 32:37
  just give them some popsicles. just put your clothes on. Come
• 32:40
  on. So you hear some
• 32:43
  rustling. You see this guy putting a. He has a robe
• 32:46
  on, a little disheveled. what looks
• 32:49
  appears to have been clown makeup.
• 32:52
  Goodness sakes. That's gonna be terrible. In, like, a half,
• 32:55
  halfway on wig. So
• 32:57
  just kind of, like, sliding off to the side.
• 33:00
  Yeah, he's just holding some of the, those,
• 33:04
  you know, the popsicles of our childhood, you know?
• 33:06
  >> Mikayla: Yeah.
• 33:08
  >> Cameron: Cut the end of it.
• 33:09
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah.
• 33:11
  >> Cameron: It's kind of funny. They had to put his stuff all
• 33:13
  haphazardly together and get popsicles. It's a single
• 33:16
  child.
• 33:18
  >> Cameron: Well, he doesn't know.
• 33:19
  >> Cameron: I'm just saying, he's gonna open the.
• 33:21
  >> Cameron: Door and see it's a single child. He's gonna be like, are you?
• 33:24
  >> Skylar: And then. And then to think that there's gonna be three more that'll show up here in
• 33:27
  a minute.
• 33:28
  >> Cameron: He just looks at you just like,
• 33:30
  seriously? Seriously.
• 33:33
  >> Cameron: What?
• 33:34
  >> Cameron: What? I'm Miss Frizzle
• 33:37
  and my friend here. And I turn around like.
• 33:42
  >> Cameron: My friends were here, you know?
• 33:44
  >> Cameron: There was one. She's like a naked mole rat. One of
• 33:47
  them's like a crow. I don't know what it is.
• 33:50
  And another guy, he's like, Larry
• 33:52
  Boyden.
• 33:57
  >> Cameron: He doesn't. You have actually
• 34:00
  left this guy speechless. He has no
• 34:03
  idea. Are you ok, sir?
• 34:06
  He just hands you the half box of
• 34:08
  popsicles. He closes the door, and he turns off
• 34:11
  the light. You have
• 34:14
  been late. You've just been left in the dark.
• 34:17
  Score.
• 34:18
  >> Cameron: Score.
• 34:19
  >> Cameron: Popsicles. She'll just, like, sit down on the curb
• 34:21
  and just start munching away at the.
• 34:23
  >> Cameron: You hear from the window, go away.
• 34:25
  >> Cameron: thank. Thank you. And so she'll just turn
• 34:28
  around, sit on a curb, and just start going at the
• 34:30
  popsicles.
• 34:31
  >> Cameron: Are you gonna save any for everyone.
• 34:33
  >> Cameron: Else if they get there in time? Otherwise, she'll
• 34:36
  just munch on them all.
• 34:37
  >> Skylar: Did you. Where did you go?
• 34:40
  >> Cameron: where did you go? we were going house across where
• 34:43
  I was at. I was at this house, actually.
• 34:45
  >> Cameron: I have you roll a d six really quick.
• 34:46
  >> Cameron: D six.
• 34:47
  >> Skylar: They have anything good?
• 34:49
  >> Cameron: Six? You have had six pups.
• 34:53
  >> Cameron: Wow.
• 34:53
  >> Cameron: you left me for a while. No, I mean, you just went really. You went
• 34:56
  really aggressive at the meals. you got three.
• 35:00
  >> Cameron: No, it's just something about it I
• 35:03
  just I can eat popsicles all day. You know,
• 35:05
  it's really quite interesting, you see, because the grape
• 35:08
  ones, they don't give you brain freeze as fast. The
• 35:11
  cherries. Those the ones you gotta work
• 35:14
  watch out for.
• 35:15
  >> Skylar: Bitch.
• 35:15
  >> Cameron: Yeah, it's cherries. I only have one cherry.
• 35:18
  >> Cameron: Ella has, popsicles down to a science.
• 35:20
  >> Cameron: I made a lot of popsicle bridges as a kid.
• 35:23
  And you just gotta eat all the popsicles in order to build
• 35:26
  a bridge. There's no other way to get popsicle sticks.
• 35:29
  >> Cameron: Did you know, Ella, that they sell popsicle sticks without
• 35:32
  the popsicle?
• 35:33
  >> Skylar: Do they have the jokes on them?
• 35:35
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Do they not? I also like the jokes. I get good
• 35:38
  chuckles.
• 35:38
  >> Cameron: Those don't come on the pre packed sticks.
• 35:40
  >> Cameron: see, I enjoy the chuckles that comes with
• 35:43
  popsicles.
• 35:46
  >> Cameron: Ever.
• 35:46
  >> Cameron: Right.
• 35:47
  >> Cameron: She reads the one. What do you call
• 35:50
  a, cow with no legs.
• 35:52
  >> Cameron: What do you call a cow with no legs though? I don't know.
• 35:55
  >> Cameron: I haven't eaten the popsicle yet.
• 35:56
  >> Skylar: Oh, I got
• 35:58
  one. What's black, white
• 36:01
  and red all over?
• 36:04
  >> Cameron: Penguin.
• 36:05
  >> Cameron: with a sunburn.
• 36:06
  >> Cameron: I've heard that one.
• 36:06
  >> Skylar: That's pretty close. It's a dead penguin.
• 36:10
  >> Cameron: Oh, no.
• 36:11
  >> Cameron: I don't know. I think it's more like the Bible.
• 36:15
  >> Skylar: Where's the red come from?
• 36:17
  >> Cameron: Jesus. You read it?
• 36:19
  >> Skylar: What? What do you mean?
• 36:21
  >> Cameron: If, you ever read an audiobook. Not read the Bible.
• 36:24
  >> Cameron: I gave.
• 36:25
  >> Cameron: It's it's 2000.
• 36:28
  >> Cameron: Oh. Well, you see, in the Bible, it's black and white.
• 36:30
  >> Skylar: Except when I got to the part about the snake in the tree. And
• 36:33
  then once he kind of went away, I was like. I was. I don't get it
• 36:36
  anymore.
• 36:37
  >> Cameron: Oh, my word. You missing so much cool stuff. You don't even read
• 36:39
  about David. David's really cool.
• 36:42
  >> Skylar: What did he do?
• 36:43
  >> Cameron: He killed a giant.
• 36:44
  >> Skylar: Whoa.
• 36:45
  >> Cameron: He also sent a man to die.
• 36:47
  >> Cameron: Okay, we don't need dwell
• 36:50
  on. We don't need
• 36:53
  dwelling all of the old Testament.
• 36:59
  >> Cameron: All right? Baptists everywhere.
• 37:04
  >> Cameron: I well, just say you gotta tell the whole
• 37:07
  story.
• 37:09
  >> Skylar: So wait, hold on. You went up there and now the guy's light is off.
• 37:11
  What's.
• 37:12
  >> Cameron: I don't know. you can go try. See who has more popsicle. I
• 37:15
  just been eating popsicles. I forgot that you guys
• 37:18
  were last with stock. You
• 37:21
  should try. Let's try again.
• 37:22
  >> Cameron: Off tones of James Brown playing from the house.
• 37:26
  >> Cameron: I kind of want.
• 37:28
  >> Skylar: Let me see what happens. I'll try it. And I
• 37:30
  stealthed up there, which is really easy with the lights are off.
• 37:33
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna stay back here and.
• 37:34
  >> Skylar: I knock on the door and then I hide on the side.
• 37:37
  >> Cameron: Ella's just standing there with an empty box of
• 37:39
  popsicles.
• 37:42
  >> Cameron: She's shaking it upside down like hoping one
• 37:44
  falls.
• 37:45
  >> Skylar: Dude, if you just stood there like Maniacally, almost
• 37:48
  just holding a box of popsicles like
• 37:50
  perfectly parallel to the door or whatever,
• 37:54
  that like would be kind of creepy.
• 37:56
  >> Cameron: You actually hear some people rustling. You still see the
• 37:59
  James Brown still playing? they just.
• 38:01
  >> Cameron: What the hell?
• 38:02
  >> Cameron: The guy looks like Mary.
• 38:05
  Mary. She's in front of the house.
• 38:08
  She's back. Todd.
• 38:11
  Todd, what are you.
• 38:12
  >> Cameron: Popsicles under the
• 38:15
  window.
• 38:16
  >> Skylar: Popsicle. Just place them outside the
• 38:19
  door.
• 38:20
  >> Cameron: God, is she wearing a
• 38:23
  blue shirt or something? Like what? I don't. Where
• 38:26
  are your parents, honey?
• 38:29
  >> Cameron: They're like a party or something.
• 38:31
  >> Cameron: We.
• 38:32
  >> Cameron: I just want more popsicles. I forgot
• 38:35
  to save some for my friends that are here
• 38:37
  now. My
• 38:40
  Larry.
• 38:41
  >> Cameron: Are you actually with her in front of this house?
• 38:43
  >> Cameron: Yeah, we're just standing on the street.
• 38:45
  >> Cameron: He's by the house. I like turn around.
• 38:48
  >> Cameron: I point like he's my cousin and she's my best
• 38:50
  friend. That naked mole ratified don't bunch. And
• 38:54
  that's it.
• 38:55
  >> Cameron: Oh, that was remarkably aware. Yeah.
• 38:58
  so the guys just immediately
• 39:01
  weirded out. so I'm actually gonna have you roll plus charm. We're gonna see
• 39:04
  what happens here.
• 39:04
  >> Cameron: Do I roll both?
• 39:06
  >> Cameron: yes, you roll two, D six. You have zero benefit.
• 39:09
  >> Cameron: that's not a say, that's a five.
• 39:11
  >> Cameron: You just hear a soft one's voice like Todd, just
• 39:14
  call the police.
• 39:15
  >> Skylar: Todd.
• 39:15
  >> Cameron: I don't know what's going on.
• 39:16
  >> Skylar: Oh crap. Defense. So I
• 39:19
  just start like Naruto running.
• 39:21
  >> Cameron: To the rest of the group.
• 39:23
  >> Skylar: We gotta get out of here. He's calling the police.
• 39:24
  >> Cameron: Oh God, there's another one. Are
• 39:27
  they chasing our house?
• 39:31
  >> Cameron: Sorry for bothering you tonight, sir. We're on our
• 39:33
  way out.
• 39:34
  >> Mikayla: Who's the first guy?
• 39:36
  >> Cameron: Todd. Todd is a guy.
• 39:38
  >> Mikayla: The first guy in the first house who said I'm gonna call your dad.
• 39:41
  >> Cameron: Oh, Mister Gunderson.
• 39:42
  >> Cameron: Mister Gunderson?
• 39:43
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, he's gonna hear about.
• 39:45
  >> Cameron: Oh jeez my. Oh no.
• 39:53
  >> Skylar: We gotta get out of here fast. He said police.
• 39:56
  >> Cameron: So are we on the far end.
• 39:58
  >> Cameron: Of the cold sack like deep into the coal sec or.
• 40:00
  >> Cameron: We're very end of it.
• 40:02
  >> Cameron: All the way deep into it. And there's only one house left.
• 40:05
  >> Mikayla: The monster house.
• 40:06
  >> Cameron: The monster house. So that gets us to
• 40:09
  our next set piece. as
• 40:11
  you navigate from house to house, as you go from place to
• 40:14
  place, getting some candy, getting some
• 40:17
  random odds and ends that people left in buckets. Getting
• 40:20
  some travel kits with various things in
• 40:23
  it, getting. And then
• 40:25
  consuming a bunch of popsicles, of which
• 40:28
  are all gone now.
• 40:30
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 40:30
  >> Skylar: You feel okay?
• 40:31
  >> Cameron: But she's saving the sticks.
• 40:33
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 40:33
  >> Cameron: In case she needs to think of a joke for her friends
• 40:36
  to, like, notice she's still there.
• 40:37
  >> Cameron: So nine popsicle sticks.
• 40:39
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 40:39
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 40:40
  >> Cameron: Nine popsicle sticks.
• 40:41
  >> Cameron: Make sure you have that written down if you find a use for them later.
• 40:45
  So, as you've navigated from house to house, it starts to
• 40:47
  get chilly, starts to get windier. And
• 40:50
  a gust of wind howls through the branches of the
• 40:53
  trees, carrying with it the faint sound of what
• 40:56
  appears to be crying.
• 40:59
  Drawn. Just draws your attention to the last house in this
• 41:01
  corner. The set, which is a set a little bit further back
• 41:04
  down a path, bathed in
• 41:07
  a. In the moonlight, you catch sight of a
• 41:10
  weathered, obviously old for sale sign swaying
• 41:13
  at the front of it. And this house linked
• 41:16
  to many urban legends, going
• 41:19
  as far back as to the infamous
• 41:22
  anti Halloween crusader that has been telling everyone to get
• 41:25
  rid of it. this house has a dark reputation of
• 41:27
  being haunted. Now you have to make a
• 41:30
  decision about, whether
• 41:33
  or not your curiosity will be too great to resist.
• 41:37
  So what do you guys do? You four? No more houses. The
• 41:40
  lights have all turned off.
• 41:41
  >> Cameron: So the place. This where we are. We just got
• 41:44
  heard. I'm gonna call the cops. So we start running
• 41:47
  away.
• 41:47
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 41:47
  >> Cameron: Yeah, and I.
• 41:49
  >> Skylar: We got.
• 41:50
  >> Cameron: We got it. That's what you say.
• 41:51
  >> Skylar: Yeah. We gotta hide.
• 41:53
  >> Cameron: Everybody gotta hide. Where do we go?
• 41:55
  >> Skylar: Ooh. That house has a for sale sign. That means nobody lives there.
• 41:58
  >> Cameron: Old man McKinley's. Yeah, well,
• 42:01
  I'm not too sure about that. Have you heard the rumors about that place?
• 42:04
  >> Skylar: No, I just moved here. I keep telling you guys that.
• 42:07
  >> Cameron: Nobody listens to me.
• 42:09
  >> Cameron: Wow.
• 42:10
  >> Skylar: Like a month ago, nobody's told me about this.
• 42:12
  >> Cameron: Well, the stories
• 42:14
  go pause as I wait to hear the
• 42:17
  stories from the DM.
• 42:19
  >> Cameron: Or did you want me on the spot that just. No, no, I'll go with it.
• 42:22
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 42:23
  >> Cameron: so this is the
• 42:25
  McGovern house. I'm, gonna make sure we write that down.
• 42:28
  The McGovern house. so
• 42:31
  not McKinley.
• 42:34
  >> Mikayla: It's okay. You're preteen. You don't remember all the names.
• 42:37
  >> Cameron: It's true. It's a mick. I got the mick.
• 42:38
  >> Cameron: Right?
• 42:40
  >> Cameron: It's always a marriage person.
• 42:41
  >> Cameron: That's gonna be a little offensive. He's dead,
• 42:44
  toye. So as
• 42:47
  you go up, you don't know much. This is the house that your parents
• 42:50
  whisper about. This is the house that,
• 42:53
  No, you've never seen anybody live in. You've never seen any lights on
• 42:56
  in it. But everyone swears that
• 42:59
  every Halloween, something
• 43:01
  creepy happens here. that
• 43:04
  some kids get scared or, some
• 43:07
  loud noises happen, or, you know, just
• 43:10
  something. Some stereotypical Halloween nonsense. The kind
• 43:13
  of things that scare children. For decades.
• 43:16
  this has been happening as long as your parents remember it. You know, it's.
• 43:19
  It's, it's. It's years in the making, right? This is all the way back
• 43:22
  to, you know, their generation. So, you
• 43:25
  know, for you guys, forever.
• 43:27
  Now, as you walk up to
• 43:30
  it, and I'm assuming you're walking up to it because we decide you're walking up
• 43:33
  towards the house.
• 43:34
  >> Cameron: Well, it's more like. I like the picture that
• 43:37
  as James, sorry. As Alex is telling
• 43:40
  the story, James is just like, Yeah, that's interesting. And he keeps
• 43:43
  inching closer to the place the whole time I'm telling the
• 43:46
  story.
• 43:46
  >> Cameron: Just to be clear, you know, as the. As you're
• 43:49
  hearing these stories, there's a couple things that kind of stick out. You know,
• 43:52
  you hear flickering light, that there's flickering lights
• 43:55
  throughout the windows throughout the night. you know, in a
• 43:58
  house that has no electricity, hasn't been on for forever, right. So there's.
• 44:01
  There's lights periodically go off through the windows. You've never seen it,
• 44:04
  but you've never been to this cul de sac. This is the first time you've been
• 44:06
  there. you probably don't know any of these stories because how'd your
• 44:09
  parents know about it? that, you know, that
• 44:12
  they're. The shutters will open and close almost at
• 44:15
  random. and you know that at times, if
• 44:18
  you're there at the. You know, if you're the unlucky
• 44:20
  kids this year, you may be chased by
• 44:23
  a yemenite ghost.
• 44:25
  >> Skylar: Whoa.
• 44:25
  >> Cameron: you may see for yourself the terrifying
• 44:28
  visage of x, right.
• 44:31
  Of this creature of the thing.
• 44:35
  for sake of children, we're not getting into what it is, other than
• 44:37
  this is a ghost.
• 44:38
  >> Skylar: It's a ghost.
• 44:40
  >> Cameron: so as your group approaches it, you're struck by. It's creepy.
• 44:43
  It is every creepy story you've ever heard. You probably don't hear a whole bunch of creepy
• 44:45
  stories. I've heard about this place. You've heard about this place. What do your
• 44:48
  parents say about this place?
• 44:50
  >> Skylar: It's ungodly exercise.
• 44:53
  >> Cameron: Yeah, it's, it's a, place of the
• 44:56
  damned. it's.
• 44:59
  Well, basically they told me that, like,
• 45:02
  they knew I was going to be going to this cul de sac.
• 45:04
  >> Cameron: So they just said, be careful about.
• 45:06
  >> Cameron: Don't go to this place because of
• 45:08
  just. It's a, dangerous place. But they
• 45:11
  didn't go much into details. they just
• 45:14
  said. They just. They just
• 45:17
  said it's a, place where an evil man
• 45:20
  once lived. Ah. But he doesn't live there anymore. But it's not a
• 45:23
  safe place. That's all they really said. Okay, so as we're
• 45:26
  inching towards the house, I'm like, what I'll know
• 45:29
  about this. James, I, Might. My parents
• 45:32
  live the stay far, far away from old man
• 45:34
  McKinley's house. That, he said, He was a terrible
• 45:37
  man, they said, and, Yeah, I don't. I
• 45:40
  don't believe in ghosts, but old
• 45:43
  man McKinley. He was an old man
• 45:46
  McKinley. Anyways, he.
• 45:48
  McKinley.
• 45:50
  >> Cameron: Wait, I love that you have.
• 45:52
  >> Cameron: No.
• 45:52
  >> Cameron: You're arguing about the name of his.
• 45:54
  >> Cameron: Anyways, old man
• 45:57
  is, He was a terrible man, live a life of sin and
• 45:59
  deceit. And, he died alone. And, that was all they
• 46:02
  told me. But what they didn't tell me. And I can read between the
• 46:05
  lines. I'm a clever boy.
• 46:10
  A clever boy is that, He probably hunts
• 46:12
  this place. Now, my parents don't believe in ghosts,
• 46:15
  but I've heard sounds
• 46:18
  and. Can you guys hear that wailing?
• 46:24
  A ghost can make that sound, right? Yeah, I'm not familiar
• 46:27
  with that. The days of Halloween, but.
• 46:29
  >> Cameron: And it's intermittent. It's like,
• 46:32
  just out every so often.
• 46:33
  >> Cameron: Now, it's either a ghost or someone's in stress. And this.
• 46:36
  >> Cameron: That's trouble.
• 46:39
  >> Skylar: James puts his hand on.
• 46:40
  >> Cameron: On Alex's shoulder.
• 46:42
  >> Cameron: How did he get all the way to the porch?
• 46:47
  >> Mikayla: It's probably just a recording.
• 46:49
  >> Cameron: Oh, I need spooky Halloween.
• 46:52
  >> Skylar: Yeah, it's just like a cd player or something.
• 46:54
  >> Cameron: Oh, so this is part of Halloween. Is there typically
• 46:57
  a cool looking house on the end of a Halloween street?
• 47:00
  >> Skylar: Actually, yes.
• 47:01
  >> Cameron: So what happens there? Do the kids go up there and
• 47:04
  get, like, a special trick or treat?
• 47:07
  >> Skylar: Okay, hold on. I don't think,
• 47:10
  >> Skylar: Here's the thing. Movies, as informative as
• 47:13
  they are, they're not like real life, so we'll be fine.
• 47:16
  >> Cameron: I mean, I've only seen, like, five movies, and I
• 47:18
  know.
• 47:19
  >> Skylar: I mean, all of the horror movies.
• 47:22
  Yeah, I know.
• 47:27
  But,
• 47:29
  >> Cameron: Yeah, they. In movies.
• 47:30
  >> Cameron: I mean, that part, they don't have.
• 47:31
  >> Cameron: Like, a Halloween movie.
• 47:32
  >> Cameron: No, no, they never did.
• 47:34
  >> Cameron: Horse. The closest
• 47:36
  they ever stein.
• 47:39
  >> Cameron: That was like, God is bigger than the boogeyman.
• 47:41
  >> Cameron: And Larry Boy had some more, like,
• 47:44
  monster stuff.
• 47:45
  >> Cameron: Stuff.
• 47:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah, the rumor we. The rumor weed. And then
• 47:48
  there was the eyebrows, the angry eyebrows. But that was a. Ah, that was
• 47:51
  different there, but it was different.
• 47:53
  >> Cameron: Anyways, anyways, my movie in character.
• 47:55
  >> Cameron: This is happening.
• 47:56
  >> Cameron: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are all the movies
• 47:59
  I've seen. I just named all five.
• 48:00
  >> Skylar: None of them have scary houses at the industry. But look, look, look.
• 48:04
  Like I said, like I said, base reality
• 48:06
  off. I mean, as much as I love, I love it.
• 48:09
  >> Cameron: I'm.
• 48:10
  >> Skylar: Oh, good.
• 48:11
  >> Cameron: God's bigger than the boogeyman, so.
• 48:12
  >> Skylar: That's right. All right, cool.
• 48:14
  >> Cameron: Bigger than Godzilla and the monsters on
• 48:16
  tv.
• 48:17
  >> Skylar: wow, you guys both know this song.
• 48:18
  >> Cameron: All right, well, I.
• 48:21
  >> Cameron: What are you gonna do? The door is
• 48:24
  closed.

• 48:28
