• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: He does not go into his usual outfit just because of this place.

• 11:02
  SPEAKER_03: Robin is...
• 11:03
  As she wakes up she's kind of like she decided to sleep on the
• 11:09
  couch so she's kind
• 11:10
  of like halfway off of it just kind of slumped over and kind of
• 11:15
  like flops to the
• 11:16
  ground as she as she wakes up and rubs her face a little bit as
• 11:22
  she tries to get
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: her bearings and she's going to put on just
• 11:29
  again something a bit more conservative than she usually does
• 11:33
  but keeps on some of
• 11:35
  her more uh how do we say her more stylish clothes underneath
• 11:43
  she wants to really
• 11:44
  have a good presence when the battle when the battle comes
• 11:49
  tonight and she she's
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: not super hungry but she's
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_03: She doesn't want to take chances with this,
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_03: so she'll probably get ready to go looking for someone to feed off of.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's a good plan.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: All of them are.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Are they going to go well?
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: That part I have no control over.

• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: Like, listen, I'm a professional.

• 15:03
  of woman who owns a
• 15:04
  car you call her number it's maybe on like the fifth ring or

  Oh you're right you have that gigantic dog um I mean it's
• 16:24

• 16:26
  bring a huge dog in there but I mean ultimately like if it's
• 16:30
  one of those service
• 16:31
  dogs or whatever they obviously have to accept it but I don't
• 16:36
  know I've never
• 16:37
  thought to bring a dog to a restaurant before totally
• 16:40
  unnecessary for me Okay well
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: um
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'll bring her out because I've got all the paperwork.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's all good.

• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: Bye.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: And she hangs up.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: And right before she hangs up, you can hear her say to somebody like,
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: Who calls anybody anymore?
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then like laugh about it and then she hangs up the phone.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 17:24
  She's looking at her phone like it betrays her because it does
• 17:28
  habitually.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I know.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: Robin and Jacob.

  are you two taking the van and prowling the streets of Salt
• 17:47
  Lake for someone to snack on?

  SPEAKER_03: But I will kind of like scratch your neck a little.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see.

• 18:09
  SPEAKER_03: Honestly, one thing I just want to do, I don't

  among them who do but you Robin the maintenance worker maybe
• 20:56
  their eyes linger just
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: a little too long on your group one of

  SPEAKER_00: the staff pushing like a laundry cart.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: You can see they're not like in the lobby area, right?
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: They're around it,

• 21:26
  service door.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.

  SPEAKER_03: But there might be a chance we can convince someone over there.
• 22:17
  Best place to look for someone who would be more willing to go
• 22:25
  along,
• 22:25
  huh?
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_02: The furthest they'll be is tipsy, at best.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_03: Unless you want to somehow wait until... Tonight.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, further into the night and go down to... You know.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_02: Let's do it beforehand.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_02: Get it out of the way.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: Good.
• 22:52
  I'm gonna keep your wits of weariness rolls,
• 22:56
  but as you drive,
• 22:58
  when you get in your van,
• 23:00
  get all set up and headed in that direction to that little tiki
• 23:05
  bar you saw last
• 23:06
  time with those rolls of seven and four as you drive Robin you
• 23:14
  might check your
• 23:14
  rear view initially there's nothing really going on there but
• 23:19
  every time you look
• 23:20
  and maybe you look a little further back there's a it's like a
• 23:26
  black town car
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: that seems to keep the same pace from you the entire time, right?
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's always two cars back.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: Even if you stop,
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: if you make a right,
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: you make a left,
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: even if you try to kind of shake it off,
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: it always maintains that same distance from you.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob?
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yes?
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: Someone's tailing us.
• 24:01
  this is highly inconvenient right give me a second to think I'd
• 24:10
  say get ready I'll
• 24:13
  start looking for somewhere a bit more private yeah I hope it
• 24:24
  will not come down to
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: this but if it has to it must she'll begin
• 24:32
  driving all continuing driving probably to a bit more of a less
• 24:39
  populated area are
• 24:43
  you going Salt Lake has like any city it's got its you know
• 24:48
  suburban area there are
• 24:50
  some less or there's some more poverty ridden area slums as you
• 24:55
  might call them but
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_00: they're not
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a massive thing.
• 25:01
  The more poverty-stricken areas of Salt Lake are smaller in
• 25:06
  pockets around the city.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_00: Suburbs are pushed towards the edge of the city.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_00: What of these two are you looking for?
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Where would you like to go?
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_03: Sposer to this one.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_03: Suburban areas are way too easy to be seen in.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_00: You don't exactly know where to go, right?
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: You've not been in this city long enough to know where it is.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: So you spend a lot of time driving, trying to like find it.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: Way longer than you might want to.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: It cuts into some time in your night.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_00: However,
• 25:49
  You do kind of come into contact with something that's
• 25:53
  obviously different than the
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_00: rest of the city is.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_00: The buildings are more run down.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: There's fewer working, like, street lamps.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: Hey guys,
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: a comment,
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks!
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_00: There are less, like,
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: Stoplights, more just stop signs.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's a little darker here.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: The buildings are that dark brown-red brick.
• 26:29
  There are,
• 26:30
  you know,
• 26:30
  certain of those certain buildings have like metal gratings on
• 26:37
  the windows.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: Not like a prison cell, but just that's how these slums are sometimes.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_00: They're tall buildings with these metal gratings on them.
• 26:46
  one of them is Salt Lake Public Housing you can see there that
• 26:53
  there are people
• 26:54
  outside even this late or it's not really super duper late but
• 26:59
  it's it's late
• 27:00
  enough that they are they look they have that feeling of not
• 27:07
  liking outsiders you
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: know even more than the rest of the city might
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_00: They eye every car that drives by with suspicion.
• 27:16
  You can see from the outside some of them have weapons tucked
• 27:22
  in their waistband.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: There are a few places to stop.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: There's a couple of delis that are open.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_00: A couple of laundromats that are open 24 hours.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: All of them have that like there's a
• 27:40
  bulletproof glass divide between them between the counter where
• 27:44
  the money is and
• 27:45
  then the rest of the of the store again it's this place might
• 27:51
  be all of three or
• 27:53
  four city blocks total that car is still two car lengths behind
• 28:01
  you what would you
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_02: like to do I actually find a bit more of a
• 28:10
  a good enough place to park far enough away from most the most
• 28:16
  pop places with the
• 28:18
  most people and where the where more people were and she kind
• 28:26
  of looks around a bit
• 28:28
  and then perks it and takes a breath you uh you want to get
• 28:38
  ready for everything
• 28:40
  and she kind of looks around in the car before producing
• 28:47
  another wooden stake and
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_03: sliding it into her jacket pocket.
• 28:55
  This is going to be frustrating to do because this is not the
• 29:03
  way I prefer to deal
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_03: with situations.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_03: Me neither, but what
• 29:11
  I'm not saying to resort to violence immediately I'm saying
• 29:16
  that might be our only
• 29:18
  option depending on who we're going to meet One thing I could
• 29:25
  do He places He
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: places his gun on the dash If I give you this I can
• 29:40
  make a hologram in the best way to describe it of you I can go
• 29:47
  into an alleyway you
• 29:50
  hold on them for hostage if they try anything interesting I
• 29:57
  like the way you think
• 30:01
  deception is going to be the best way to get out of a situation
• 30:05
  like this so
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_03: Try to de-escalate first, and if needed, Frank.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_03: Ready to go?

  SPEAKER_00: She likes that a lot.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_00: She likes to hear about it.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's interesting to her.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_00: Not in a way that like
• 39:57
  it's not like pandering right she's not just like oh yeah

• 40:00
  just like that's very cool she sees she responds with telling
• 40:04
  you she does see a
• 40:05
  lot of like local bands but every once in a while something
• 40:08
  crazy comes to her

  place and she's always like excited to be able to promote and
• 40:13
  run her business she

  SPEAKER_00: And as long as it's within reason, he keeps it reasonable.
• 49:10
  As long as I don't bring anything crazy,
• 49:11

• 50:17
  even if it's just getting iced out or whatever.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's like not...
• 50:21
  it's not a great vibe so we can't really stick around town or
• 50:24

• 50:32
  where the vocabulary
• 50:33
  words you use are killed and iced out ridiculous listen so you
• 50:42
  know we're a band
• 50:43
  we're from Vegas there's like weird ties you get it you do the
• 50:48
  drug thing like
• 50:50
  sometimes it's just like people don't get along with you I get
• 50:56
  it kind of and she
• 50:59
  gives you like a it's not like a like a uncomfortable smile
• 51:03
  which is more like
• 51:03
  you're a weirdo smile but she kind of likes it the server comes
• 51:08
  back she you know
• 51:10
  puts your sodas down she goes what you want to eat and Cross
• 51:15
  just orders for the
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_00: both of you so that way you don't piss off the
• 51:20
  the server oh good move yeah but as you two talk and wait for
• 51:28
  your food to come we
• 51:29
  will change scenes once again to Robin and Jacob that you're
• 51:38
  parked describe the
• 51:40
  scene to you the car that's behind you drives past you or
• 51:45
  begins to creep up on you
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_00: and
• 51:48
  as it does the windows roll down and they drive past you and
• 51:55
  you can see in the car
• 51:57
  are two very like generic looking individuals but they look
• 52:03
  very poignantly at the
• 52:05
  two of you but they're driving slow enough that like there's a
• 52:13
  period where the two
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_00: cars like line up together
• 52:18
  Let's get out of their line of sight really quick Can you say
• 52:22
  that again?
• 52:23
  Let's get out of their line of sight Jacob will kind of hop
• 52:28
  around to the behind
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_03: the chairs And Robin will follow in suit doing the same
• 52:38
  and you guys jump back there as the car kind of pulls up it
• 52:40
  they look inside and
• 52:43
  then again for a moment you can see that these two individuals
• 52:46
  are just like super
• 52:48
  NPC generic brown hair glasses they seem to be wearing like
• 52:57
  just t-shirt white
• 52:58
  t-shirt blue jeans kind of thing and then they continue on
• 53:03
  driving very very slowly
• 53:08
  I can do them out Shouldn't be too difficult if they're making
• 53:11
  themselves this
• 53:12
  obvious I think they're more of the guys that Tremere had
• 53:18
  There's always a chance
• 53:25
  And be careful then And she'll kind of adjust her hat a little
• 53:31
  bit as she takes
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_03: position behind him
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I would like to use Feta Morgana and create an illusion of Robin.
• 53:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so again, they have already driven past you.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_00: Where do you want to make the illusion of Robin appear?
• 54:04
  SPEAKER_03: Just in the back with us.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_03: And the idea is then
• 54:09
  Jacob would leave the van with the illusion down into an
• 54:15
  alleyway like in the rear
• 54:18
  and like visible to them through their one of their mirrors
• 54:22
  yeah give me a rose
• 54:28
  check and then give me manipulation and up I go to hunger for
• 54:36
  five successes
• 54:39
  five successes you make your illusion yeah you Robin you just
• 54:47
  see an identical
• 54:51
  version of you just form to the side of me here alright don't
• 55:06
  get too freaked out
• 55:07
  SPEAKER_02: from him
• 55:10
  SPEAKER_02: my little tricks.
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob kind of gives a friendly but devious smile.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_03: And he just kind of kicks her tongue out at him.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Jacob's going to
• 55:31
  exit from the back of the van shutting it behind him and have
• 55:38
  the illusion Robin
• 55:40
  follow next to him kind of making it look like he's striking up
• 55:48
  small talk with the
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_03: illusion as he goes down into the alleyway
• 55:57
  SPEAKER_03: Hey guys,
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_03: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_03: a comment,
• 56:01
  SPEAKER_03: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks!
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yep,
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_00: you go into the alleyway,
• 56:09
  SPEAKER_00: the car again drives past you,
• 56:12
  SPEAKER_00: get to the end of the block,
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_00: makes a right,
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_00: and as you're walking down this alleyway,
• 56:17
  SPEAKER_00: because it's open on both ends,
• 56:19
  you can see that the car has made a right and made another
• 56:23
  right and is coming back
• 56:24
  SPEAKER_00: down the other side of the street
• 56:27
  and then they make another right and Robin you're in the back
• 56:31
  of the van and it's
• 56:33
  only a few minutes later that the car pulls up behind your car
• 56:39
  again keeping the
• 56:40
  same general distance between you and them the car stops turns
• 56:48
  the lights off Jacob
• 56:50
  you're in this alley with an illusion Robin you're in the back
• 56:53
  of the car and they
• 56:55
  SPEAKER_00: just
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_00: sit there for like 15-20 minutes.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody gets out of the car.
• 57:03
  SPEAKER_00: It just waits there.
• 57:09
  Before anything happens,
• 57:10
  is there anything that the two of you would like to do?
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_03: Robin's essentially just going to be preparing herself in the back,
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_03: just getting ready any kind of
• 57:25
  Any kind of like things she can do to protect herself anything
• 57:28
  she can have on hand
• 57:29
  to use against them just basically prepping for anything Yep
• 57:37
  Jacob Yeah he's trying
• 57:44
  to make himself look more vulnerable than he is by maybe making
• 57:51
  it look like
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_03: Something seductive is happening with the illusion.
• 58:02
  SPEAKER_03: Illusion's like up against the wall.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_02: But Jacob is keeping an eye out to his sides just in case.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_00: 20 minutes passed, half an hour, and eventually both doors opened.
• 58:24
  and Robin you can see from where they're parked that the two
• 58:28
  individuals get out
• 58:30
  maybe looking out the rear view you can see that they kind of
• 58:34
  they have some sort
• 58:35
  of silent exchange where they kind of nod to one another one of
• 58:39
  them the one in the
• 58:40
  driver's seat walks you know alongside the car in the street
• 58:46
  towards the van the
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_00: other steps onto the sidewalk and begins to walk towards the alleyway
• 58:55
  SPEAKER_00: The one that walks towards the alleyway,
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_00: comes,
• 58:57
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 58:57
  SPEAKER_00: sees it,
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_00: looks inside,
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_00: and Jacob,
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_00: you're,
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_00: what,
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_00: in the middle of the alley?
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_00: He turns, sees you there, takes a cigarette out, lights it up, and...
• 59:13
  leans like takes a few steps in so he might be 25 feet from you
• 59:19
  uh leans back
• 59:20
  against the wall you know one leg up against it and just smokes
• 59:25
  a cigarette the
• 59:26
  other one goes to the car looks inside um is the door to the
• 59:34
  van locked yes he
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_00: jiggles it a few times trying to get it open
• 59:43
  you're behind the seat so you can get just a small peek at him
• 59:48
  he tries one side he
• 59:49
  goes around he tries another he goes to the back tries to open
• 59:53
  that realizing it's
• 59:55
  locked he comes back to the driver's side and you can see him
• 59:57
  like you know like in
• 59:59
  the sliver between you and where the window is that you can
• 1:00:01
  kind of peek in there
• 1:00:03
  I'd like you to give me a dice full of your wits and stealth to
• 1:00:11
  kind of keep an eye
• 1:00:12
  SPEAKER_00: on him
• 1:00:13
  SPEAKER_00: while he does whatever he does and then stay hidden.
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_02: That is two successes.
• 1:00:19
  SPEAKER_00: You have no power.
• 1:00:23
  SPEAKER_03: Wait, did you give me a...
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't give you a difficulty.
• 1:00:28
  SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to know what you got.
• 1:00:33
  SPEAKER_02: Two successes?
• 1:00:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_00: Well, two successes.
• 1:00:39
  SPEAKER_00: You feel hidden enough, right?
• 1:00:41
  SPEAKER_00: That you can watch him...
• 1:00:43
  and him not notice you whether or not that's the case you don't
• 1:00:47
  know but you feel
• 1:00:48
  it enough but you can you do see that he pulls out it looks
• 1:00:55
  like a leather pouch
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_00: with a bunch of like little sticks on it
• 1:01:00
  uh he takes a few of them out rolls the leather pouch back up
• 1:01:05
  sticks it back in his
• 1:01:06
  jacket and he's puts them both in and you can see him fiddling
• 1:01:11
  with the lock
• 1:01:11
  clearly trying to like break into it this is the situation the
• 1:01:18
  two of you is Jacob
• 1:01:19
  one person is at the end of the alley smoking a cigarette Robin
• 1:01:24

• 1:01:24
  SPEAKER_00: trying to break into your vehicle
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_02: What do the two of you want to do?

• 1:01:46
  SPEAKER_00: Ken, he's very NPC generic.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_00: Tall.
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_00: They both are nearly identical.
• 1:01:53
  SPEAKER_00: Not like Quinn's identical, but in the way they just seem to like
• 1:01:59
  be as bland as humanly possible yeah seeing this he will stop
• 1:02:10
  what he's doing and
• 1:02:14
  go closer towards the man smoking with the illusion next to him
• 1:02:21
  hey do you mind
• 1:02:25
  SPEAKER_03: smoking somewhere else I'm kind of in the middle of something
• 1:02:29
  SPEAKER_03: and he's going to give a friendly smile.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_00: He feels he's got a cigarette.
• 1:02:39
  SPEAKER_00: He pulls it out of his mouth,
• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_00: looks at you,
• 1:02:42
  SPEAKER_00: kind of like looks around,
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_00: almost confused,
• 1:02:45
  SPEAKER_00: like it's public area.
• 1:02:47
  SPEAKER_00: Why would I do that?
• 1:02:52
  SPEAKER_02: You really want to smoke in a random alleyway.
• 1:03:02
  SPEAKER_02: when people are trying to do stuff.
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_02: If I didn't, I wouldn't stand here and smoke.
• 1:03:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'd find somewhere else to smoke if I wanted to smoke somewhere else.
• 1:03:19
  Why don't you find something else to do that doesn't involve
• 1:03:22
  standing in this alleyway?
• 1:03:25
  SPEAKER_00: Any gestures to Robin apparently doing nothing?
• 1:03:30
  SPEAKER_03: Just merely having a conversation,
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_03: Roland is,
• 1:03:32
  SPEAKER_03: er,
• 1:03:33
  SPEAKER_03: not Roland,
• 1:03:33
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob is still walking closer,
• 1:03:39
  SPEAKER_03: hand in one pocket of what,
• 1:03:44
  of Ram is over the illusion to give the sale of its being more
• 1:03:51
  real than it
• 1:03:51
  SPEAKER_03: actually is.
• 1:03:55
  SPEAKER_03: We'll be on our way then.
• 1:03:58
  SPEAKER_00: That sounds like a good idea.
• 1:04:00
  SPEAKER_00: And he, um, he doesn't stop you, right?
• 1:04:03
  SPEAKER_00: He's still smoking.
• 1:04:05
  SPEAKER_00: And it's as you walk past him, he goes, I do have a question, though.
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_00: Why this alleyway?
• 1:04:11
  SPEAKER_00: What brings you here?
• 1:04:16
  SPEAKER_02: It was merely quiet.
• 1:04:17
  SPEAKER_02: I could have some enjoyment with this lovely fellow here.
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_02: And he would gesture to illusion.
• 1:04:31
  SPEAKER_02: seems entirely plausible.
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_00: And while you're having this conversation with him,
• 1:04:40
  SPEAKER_00: Robin,
• 1:04:41
  SPEAKER_00: eventually,
• 1:04:41
  SPEAKER_00: or after a few minutes,
• 1:04:43
  SPEAKER_00: it's not hard.
• 1:04:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of those old cars or old vans.
• 1:04:46
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't take you very long.
• 1:04:48
  SPEAKER_00: He hears the lock pop and the door open.
• 1:04:53
  SPEAKER_00: And he, like, leans inside.
• 1:04:54
  SPEAKER_02: Great question.
• 1:04:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:05:00
  I actually have something else I wanted to do Sure But right
• 1:05:07
  before it unlocks
• 1:05:10
  Robin's going to open it up while he's still occupied with it
• 1:05:16
  to catch him off
• 1:05:17
  SPEAKER_03: guard and then bring him in So you want to open,
• 1:05:23
  SPEAKER_00: unlock the door and try to drag this individual inside
• 1:05:27
  yeah it's kind of like that thing when you're like how do I
• 1:05:31
  explain like if you're
• 1:05:34
  doing a tug of war and the other side suddenly lets go so you
• 1:05:38
  fall forward yeah
• 1:05:41
  he's just staying there trying to pick it you can give me
• 1:05:46
  strength and brawl and
• 1:05:48
  I'm going to give you an opposing role and I'm going to put it
• 1:05:51
  in the chat with you
• 1:05:53
  SPEAKER_02: three successes for me
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_02: One moment.
• 1:06:03
  Question,
• 1:06:03
  do you think this would count towards my specialty in Brawl
• 1:06:07
  that's grappling?
• 1:06:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'd say go for it.
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_02: Hell yeah.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_02: Let me see.
• 1:06:16
  SPEAKER_02: All right, dude, come on.
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, three successes with one critical.
• 1:06:27
  you are active and so you pop open the door and go to like grab
• 1:06:33
  him and pull him in he's not
• 1:06:39
  surprised by what you do like it's not a shocking moment for
• 1:06:43
  him but he like drops
• 1:06:45
  the tool you go to grab him and pull him and the resistance you
• 1:06:49
  meet is or maybe
• 1:06:51
  you did shock him a little bit and that's why you're able to
• 1:06:54
  pull on him but as you
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_00: do as you kind of like go to drag him into the van his strength is
• 1:07:03
  surprising right you go to drag him in you're used to your very
• 1:07:07
  vampiric undead
• 1:07:08
  strength and he matches your strength and he almost like allows
• 1:07:12
  you to drag him in
• 1:07:14
  and as you do you kind of pull him all the way in I need
• 1:07:17
  another dice roll from you
• 1:07:19
  you can call it decks and athletics alrighty give you the same
• 1:07:26
  pool again three
• 1:07:30
  SPEAKER_02: successes
• 1:07:40
  SPEAKER_03: There was no messy critical.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_03: What are you talking about?
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_03: Three.
• 1:07:49
  you're evenly matched so you drag him in and as you pull him in
• 1:07:54
  because you're the
• 1:07:54
  way you're pulling him he like goes with the movement of you
• 1:07:58
  pulling him and begins
• 1:08:00
  to push so he lands like you're both in the van now and he's on
• 1:08:04
  top of you and you
• 1:08:05
  can feel the strength in him and as you do you're kind of
• 1:08:11
  looking at his face the
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_00: person that you see this very generic individual
• 1:08:19
  the whatever it is it's clearly some sort of illusion fades and
• 1:08:24
  you are faced with
• 1:08:26
  a very wispy haired the skin is kind of a mottled gray with
• 1:08:34
  absolutely enormous
• 1:08:36
  fangs on both the upper and lower jaw Nosferatu he looks at you
• 1:08:42
  he's not startled
• 1:08:43
  SPEAKER_00: not surprised he just looks at you while he's got you like he's above him
• 1:08:50
  SPEAKER_00: what do you want to do?
• 1:08:53
  As they're kind of like evenly matched hustling she's gonna she
• 1:08:59
  and she's gonna
• 1:09:00
  like grit her tea and already go for it and and try to in a
• 1:09:08
  swift move grab the
• 1:09:10
  stake she's not planning to stake him just yet but use it as a
• 1:09:15
  threat so the um
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_00: you're
• 1:09:19
  you're not gonna make a dice or you're gonna try to grab the
• 1:09:22
  steak let me make that
• 1:09:23
  that's the intent is while he's got you pinned you're gonna try
• 1:09:26
  to grab the steak
• 1:09:28
  yeah okay so I'm gonna want a roll from you he's still engaging
• 1:09:35
  you so you're doing
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_00: one thing and he's doing another uh
• 1:09:40
  I would like another Dex Athletics check from you at a
• 1:09:44
  difficulty 3 to grab the
• 1:09:47
  stake out from where you are at where you have it stashed while
• 1:09:51
  he's on top of you
• 1:09:52
  and then I'm going to give you a strength and brawl roll as he
• 1:09:55
  goes to like
• 1:09:57
  put your hand around your throat and almost like try to squeeze
• 1:10:02
  maybe not that's
• 1:10:03
  the wrong way he's gonna try to like cave your skull in for
• 1:10:07
  attacking him that's
• 1:10:08
  what he's gonna try to do that makes more sense in this moment
• 1:10:11
  for what he's
• 1:10:11
  thinking about sorry I'm just looking through my stuff real
• 1:10:17
  quick it's a lot of
• 1:10:21
  SPEAKER_02: success oh don't like that
• 1:10:27
  I am so fucked uh oh I don't think you can avoid that yeah
• 1:10:39
  because they're both on
• 1:10:40
  hunger dice you're grabbing the steak you're not exactly
• 1:10:50
  defending yourself so
• 1:10:52
  SPEAKER_00: you're gonna take
• 1:10:54
  three points of superficial damage as this like blow to the
• 1:10:58
  head comes but you do
• 1:11:02
  manage like reach behind you as the hit comes and maybe that's
• 1:11:05
  what like you know
• 1:11:06
  frees an arm to grab the stake and you've got it and you look
• 1:11:11
  like you're ready to
• 1:11:12
  SPEAKER_00: to you know stab it into him however with that messy you've
• 1:11:22
  SPEAKER_00: been put under a compulsion of dominance.
• 1:11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever this is,
• 1:11:27
  whether or not you're going to fight him or however the rest of
• 1:11:32
  this scene goes is
• 1:11:34
  SPEAKER_00: you've got to come out on top in some way,
• 1:11:37
  SPEAKER_00: whether it's social,
• 1:11:39
  SPEAKER_00: whether it's physical,
• 1:11:40
  SPEAKER_00: it doesn't matter.
• 1:11:41
  SPEAKER_00: You cannot let this flight go, right?
• 1:11:45
  He attacked you or maybe you attacked him and he's responding,
• 1:11:48
  but it doesn't matter.
• 1:11:50
  you need to come out on top and anything not led to that is
• 1:11:54
  going to be at a two
• 1:11:55
  dice penalty Jacob you and the other individual now can kind of
• 1:12:08
  hear a scuffle
• 1:12:09
  SPEAKER_00: breakout and
• 1:12:14
  he and you both might turn to look and you can see Robin and an
• 1:12:18
  enormous Nosferatu
• 1:12:21
  in the front seat of the van fighting he crushes his cigarette
• 1:12:26
  in his hands and
• 1:12:28
  says very plainly to you well that was not how this was
• 1:12:33
  supposed to go I suggest
• 1:12:35
  SPEAKER_03: you don't escalate Jacob has reaches his hands into
• 1:12:44
  SPEAKER_03: his jacket, but doesn't pull anything out.
• 1:12:50
  SPEAKER_02: Well, seems like we're at an impasse then.
• 1:12:55
  SPEAKER_02: What's the entire goal behind this?
• 1:13:00
  SPEAKER_02: Did that come through?
• 1:13:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, sorry.
• 1:13:03
  SPEAKER_00: He, uh...
• 1:13:05
  because if we're going to be more honest about this he leans
• 1:13:08
  back again he pulls
• 1:13:10
  out another cigarette lights it was obviously you're being
• 1:13:14
  watched and we are
• 1:13:15
  watching you it's not complicated to the point that my coach
• 1:13:22
  remember deems the
• 1:13:24
  need to defend herself and the illusion will fade in this
• 1:13:30
  moment neat trick
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we're not under orders to fight you for any real reason.
• 1:13:44
  So if I had to guess,
• 1:13:46
  I think your friend probably provoked him if you asked me what
• 1:13:49
  happened.
• 1:13:51
  SPEAKER_03: Whatever did happen, we merely came out for food.
• 1:13:55
  SPEAKER_03: This would have not happened if you did not blatantly follow us.
• 1:14:00
  SPEAKER_00: We thought it would be rude to secretly follow you.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_00: What difference does it make?
• 1:14:07
  SPEAKER_03: That or this could have been...
• 1:14:09
  SPEAKER_03: a bit more avoided if you are more discreet.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's our city.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_00: We feel no need to be more so than we are.
• 1:14:19
  SPEAKER_00: We wanted to- we were tailing you.
• 1:14:21
  SPEAKER_00: We felt no need to hide the fact that we were tailing you.
• 1:14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Did you come out here to ambush us?
• 1:14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Was that the plan?
• 1:14:28
  SPEAKER_00: Knowing you were being tailed?
• 1:14:29
  SPEAKER_02: It's not exactly a terrible idea if you are suddenly being
• 1:14:38
  SPEAKER_03: blatantly follows.
• 1:14:40
  SPEAKER_03: Some people aren't the friendliest.
• 1:14:44
  SPEAKER_00: He kind of like scoffed to himself.
• 1:14:48
  SPEAKER_00: We never should have lifted the no killing rule.
• 1:14:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's for damn sure.
• 1:14:51
  SPEAKER_00: I hate outsiders a lot.
• 1:14:54
  SPEAKER_00: You're being followed at every opportunity.
• 1:14:57
  SPEAKER_00: You're the only outsiders of our kind in town.
• 1:15:00
  So you have extra eyes on you to make sure you don't do
• 1:15:03
  anything fucking stupid.
• 1:15:07
  SPEAKER_00: Expect to continue to be followed.
• 1:15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Had you not been such a paranoid freak about it,
• 1:15:12
  you could have gone about your business and we would have just
• 1:15:14
  liked to make sure
• 1:15:15
  SPEAKER_00: that nothing was up.
• 1:15:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_03: whatever your thoughts about this no killing rule is,
• 1:15:24
  SPEAKER_03: you're going to pretty much obey it,
• 1:15:26
  SPEAKER_03: yeah?
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_02: I mean...
• 1:15:31
  SPEAKER_02: It's...
• 1:15:32
  SPEAKER_00: more of a guideline than it is anything else.
• 1:15:35
  If we deem that you're up to something that we don't like,
• 1:15:38
  we'll absolutely just kill you.
• 1:15:40
  SPEAKER_00: But we tend to try to be more reasonable in these nights.
• 1:15:47
  SPEAKER_03: I'm glad you are not a complete barbarian.
• 1:15:50
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go stop the scuffle before they alert anyone.
• 1:15:54
  SPEAKER_03: True.
• 1:15:58
  SPEAKER_00: As you two, you know, you walk forward, he walks behind you,
• 1:16:02
  SPEAKER_00: Robin,
• 1:16:02
  you get one more round of something you want to do here while
• 1:16:07
  this individual just
• 1:16:08
  hit you in the head and is pulling his fist back for another
• 1:16:11
  strike to the dome.
• 1:16:15
  Yeah,
• 1:16:15
  she's going to continue to attempt to defend herself and go for
• 1:16:23
  a kick in the legs.
• 1:16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Can I kick him off you?
• 1:16:29
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 1:16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Why don't you give me strength and brawl?
• 1:16:33
  SPEAKER_00: And he's not defending himself either.
• 1:16:35
  SPEAKER_00: He's just hitting you.
• 1:16:37
  SPEAKER_00: So he's also going to try to hate you.
• 1:16:39
  SPEAKER_00: So there's no defense role from either of you.
• 1:16:41
  SPEAKER_00: You're just hitting each other.
• 1:16:46
  SPEAKER_00: Four successes.
• 1:16:47
  SPEAKER_00: What do you got?
• 1:16:49
  SPEAKER_02: I got six successes.
• 1:16:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot of success.
• 1:16:54
  SPEAKER_00: You got a lot of crits today.
• 1:16:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:16:58
  you're gonna take two more points of superficial as he goes to
• 1:17:02
  like you know nail
• 1:17:04
  SPEAKER_00: hit you in the face again
• 1:17:07
  SPEAKER_00: and you kick him hard and launching him clear out of the car.
• 1:17:12
  SPEAKER_00: He goes flying back like seven feet,
• 1:17:16
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:17:17
  SPEAKER_00: holding his chest and like looks around for a moment,
• 1:17:21
  SPEAKER_00: like hurt,
• 1:17:22
  SPEAKER_00: terrified,
• 1:17:23
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 1:17:23
  SPEAKER_00: oh,
• 1:17:23
  SPEAKER_00: shit,
• 1:17:24
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:17:24
  SPEAKER_00: people can see him.
• 1:17:26
  And but you can see like he's like,
• 1:17:28
  whatever you did,
• 1:17:29
  you've you've like,
• 1:17:30
  you felt it.
• 1:17:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, the bones in his chest crack.
• 1:17:33
  SPEAKER_00: He holds it.
• 1:17:35
  and then he takes like a deep breath and just as you saw the
• 1:17:39
  monstrous creature the
• 1:17:42
  same generic looking individual reappears and he looks like
• 1:17:47
  he's about to like
• 1:17:49
  crouch and spring at you again and just as he does Jacob and
• 1:17:54
  this other individual
• 1:17:55
  come around both sides the other individual whistles he's like
• 1:18:01
  knock it off what
• 1:18:03
  SPEAKER_00: happened?
• 1:18:04
  SPEAKER_03: He tried to break into my fucking van!
• 1:18:09
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:18:13
  SPEAKER_02: And then... And then, he tried to kill me.
• 1:18:19
  SPEAKER_03: So, what now?
• 1:18:21
  SPEAKER_03: What is Jacob's explanation now?
• 1:18:28
  SPEAKER_03: They are atrocious at knowing discretion of following people.
• 1:18:35
  SPEAKER_03: They're merely doing it because they're outsiders.
• 1:18:38
  SPEAKER_02: This one here really wishes one of their guidelines weren't there.
• 1:18:46
  SPEAKER_02: But that's besides the point right now.
• 1:18:50
  SPEAKER_02: They're merely just here to act as observers.
• 1:18:55
  SPEAKER_02: Until someone does something stupid.
• 1:19:00
  SPEAKER_02: Are you fucking... That's it?
• 1:19:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:19:05
  that's it and I'm sure any gestures to his friend didn't attack
• 1:19:11
  you first I'm sure
• 1:19:13
  he he lit I opened my van and grabbed him so we can't sit
• 1:19:22
  because he was trying I
• 1:19:24
  had who was I supposed to know that he was here just to observe
• 1:19:29
  he was breaking
• 1:19:29
  SPEAKER_03: into my shit and if he
• 1:19:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's a reasonable thing to attack someone breaking in,
• 1:19:39
  SPEAKER_00: but it does contradict what you just said of him trying to kill you.
• 1:19:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds like you attacked him and he defended himself.
• 1:19:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's what it sounds like.
• 1:19:49
  SPEAKER_03: And she attacked me.
• 1:19:52
  Did you just admit to dragging him into your van after he tried
• 1:19:55
  to break into it?
• 1:19:58
  SPEAKER_03: Dragging is a strong word, alright?
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_02: The word you used.
• 1:20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob, I'd like a dice pool from you.
• 1:20:10
  SPEAKER_00: I want your intelligence and insight.
• 1:20:18
  SPEAKER_00: Robin, I'd like the same if you want to, but at a minus two.
• 1:20:25
  SPEAKER_02: Alrighty.
• 1:20:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to be a difficulty three roll.
• 1:20:32
  SPEAKER_02: Three successes.
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's nice.
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_02: Three successes.
• 1:20:42
  SPEAKER_00: Even in your state of annoyance,
• 1:20:46
  SPEAKER_00: Robin and Jacob,
• 1:20:47
  SPEAKER_00: although you're not as annoyed,
• 1:20:49
  SPEAKER_00: I think,
• 1:20:50
  you can tell that this individual is looking the way he talks
• 1:20:56
  or the things he
• 1:20:58
  SPEAKER_00: says.
• 1:20:58
  It's almost like he's looking for a reason to have to,
• 1:21:03
  like,
• 1:21:04
  deal with the two of you.
• 1:21:07
  like he's goading you he's like intentionally nitpicking
• 1:21:12
  Robin's words almost like
• 1:21:14
  an excuse to have to take the very next aggressive steps right
• 1:21:22
  so anything so
• 1:21:23
  nothing stupid happens we came out for food can you know leave
• 1:21:30
  us be if you are
• 1:21:32
  SPEAKER_03: wanting to tell us
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_02: Don't be as much of an idiot.
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_00: Insults in a domain that isn't yours is not really a good idea.
• 1:21:46
  SPEAKER_00: Don't you think someone would take that as hostile?
• 1:21:52
  You classify it as calling someone an idiot as a hostile action
• 1:21:59
  enough to try killing them.
• 1:22:04
  SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't say that it's worth killing you.
• 1:22:06
  Is it hostile and maybe brought in front of individuals who are
• 1:22:11
  a little less
• 1:22:13
  SPEAKER_00: lenient with the rules?
• 1:22:16
  Possibly,
• 1:22:16
  and maybe they decide that your time in this city has come to
• 1:22:21
  an end rather abruptly.
• 1:22:23
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 1:22:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you what, though.
• 1:22:29
  SPEAKER_00: You guys can go.
• 1:22:32
  SPEAKER_00: But I want a
• 1:22:34
  he looks at his friend a formal apology on bended knee how
• 1:22:39
  about that like we used
• 1:22:40
  to do in the old days in your state of mind how does that
• 1:22:47
  affect you this demand
• 1:22:49
  SPEAKER_03: for apology on a knee oh internally change fucking piss but
• 1:23:01
  SPEAKER_03: Unfortunately,
• 1:23:02
  she has enough survival instinct to know that getting herself
• 1:23:07
  killed like this does
• 1:23:09
  SPEAKER_03: nobody any favors.
• 1:23:13
  SPEAKER_03: Her eye visibly twitches as she stands up,
• 1:23:20
  SPEAKER_03: dusts herself off,
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_03: takes a deep breath,
• 1:23:25
  SPEAKER_03: and...
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_00: Before you do what you're about to do,
• 1:23:28
  SPEAKER_00: are you...
• 1:23:30
  trying to control the look on your face of one of not fury and
• 1:23:35
  pissed off.
• 1:23:37
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yes, absolutely.
• 1:23:39
  I need a composure and resolve role from you with the same
• 1:23:45
  penalty and a difficulty
• 1:23:47
  SPEAKER_00: to keep yourself from visibly showing how angry you are.
• 1:23:54
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob, you're less in a mood
• 1:23:58
  But I would also like to know your thoughts Three successes
• 1:24:03
  Three is more than
• 1:24:04
  enough That I want as little to do with this kindred as I can
• 1:24:13
  That's the main
• 1:24:18
  thought process on how this could have all been a bit more
• 1:24:23
  avoided than how their
• 1:24:26
  SPEAKER_02: stupid approach came across
• 1:24:29
  SPEAKER_02: Frustrating.
• 1:24:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's the choice, the options are the two of yours.
• 1:24:36
  SPEAKER_00: Do you get on a knee and apologize?
• 1:24:44

• 1:25:18
  SPEAKER_03: After she cleans herself off, Robin composes herself.
• 1:25:25
  SPEAKER_03: takes the knee and clears her throat slightly.
• 1:25:30
  SPEAKER_03: My apologies for misunderstanding your intentions.
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_03: I had no idea who you were,
• 1:25:38
  SPEAKER_03: so if I were in better knowledge,
• 1:25:44
  SPEAKER_03: so to say,

  SPEAKER_00: He looks pretty pleased with himself.
• 1:25:54
  SPEAKER_00: What about you, Jacob?
• 1:25:56
  I assume the apology going down to one knee was directly just
• 1:26:01
  at Robin,
• 1:26:02
  but...
• 1:26:03
  Oh,
• 1:26:03
  no.

  SPEAKER_00: this confident,
• 1:26:25
  SPEAKER_00: egotistical,
• 1:26:27
  SPEAKER_00: cocky,
• 1:26:27
  SPEAKER_00: just like he wound up you,
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_00: in a little petty,
• 1:26:32
  SPEAKER_00: petty monster kind of way.
• 1:26:36
  SPEAKER_00: His apology accepted in just this super duper condescending voice.
• 1:26:45
  SPEAKER_00: I would like a willpower roll from both of you.
• 1:26:52
  SPEAKER_00: Robin, there's no penalty here, but I would like a willpower roll.
• 1:26:56
  SPEAKER_00: Your unspent willpower at a difficulty three, please.
• 1:27:02
  SPEAKER_02: Two.

• 1:27:30
  how in the middle of the street one or two people have stopped
• 1:27:35
  and are witnessing
• 1:27:36
  this it's the smug look on his face the other one seems a
• 1:27:42
  little fed up with his
• 1:27:43
  antics but it's that look just looking down on you for what you
• 1:27:49
  are the fact that
• 1:27:50
  you're outsiders and he knows he's got the upper hand in this
• 1:27:55
  situation and has
• 1:27:56
  SPEAKER_00: fully taken advantage of it
• 1:27:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'd like you all,
• 1:28:01
  SPEAKER_00: both of you,

• 1:28:36
  SPEAKER_00: So just in case you fuck up, he smiles hugely.
• 1:28:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's both threatening and again, condescending.
• 1:28:47

  horn so she doesn't alert people but just like screams to
• 1:30:57
  herself internally before
• 1:30:59
  SPEAKER_03: before revving up the car to get going.
• 1:31:02
  SPEAKER_03: She just, she wants to get out of here now.
• 1:31:08
  SPEAKER_00: Almost like a last insult as the two of you are sitting in the car,
• 1:31:13
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:31:13
  SPEAKER_00: composing yourselves.
• 1:31:15

• 1:31:52
  SPEAKER_00: Logan It smells Well,
• 1:31:55
  SPEAKER_00: how does it smell?
• 1:31:56
  SPEAKER_00: Tell you, Logan
• 1:31:58
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's cooked the right way, all the right spices and herbs.
• 1:32:03
  It's a plate of absolutely smothered oxtails with rice and
• 1:32:07
  peas,
• 1:32:08
  mac and cheese,
• 1:32:09
  cabbage.

  SPEAKER_00: It's for a mortal.
• 1:32:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is heavenly.
• 1:32:15
  SPEAKER_00: But how does it smell to Logan?
• 1:32:19
  I think it's like when you go to someone's house and they only
• 1:32:22
  cook with salt and
• 1:32:24
  SPEAKER_01: their food is technically tasty.
• 1:32:26
  but you can't smell salt and when you taste it there's just
• 1:32:31
  something missing like
• 1:32:34
  the spices you add at home the spices that your family adds the
• 1:32:38
  spices that your
• 1:32:38
  friends adds the spices that this person has decided they don't
• 1:32:42
  want to use you've
• 1:32:43
  got like black pepper and that's it I think it's that like oh
• 1:32:47
  this is good food
• 1:32:48
  SPEAKER_01: this is really good food but it's not blood it's really not blood um
• 1:32:55
  and it's not making me like it won't make me full it also has
• 1:33:01

• 1:33:03
  candy smell where it's like candy smells like a snack it
• 1:33:07
  doesn't smell like a meal
• 1:33:10
  and that's sort of the whole like the back of the mind reaction
• 1:33:14

  SPEAKER_00: all the time and he would just not come with me.
• 1:34:46
  SPEAKER_00: So irritating.
• 1:34:49
  So it's so nice to be able to come here with someone rather
• 1:34:53

  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes he comes with me as Sidney.
• 1:34:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, thank you so much for bringing me.

• 1:35:04
  SPEAKER_01: like this is getting to go to the best restaurant in the city.
• 1:35:09
  SPEAKER_01: What a big win.
• 1:35:12
  isn't it just I'm so glad you came and as you eat she talks to
• 1:35:19
  you you know about
• 1:35:20
  small things um she tells you that you know she's been she
• 1:35:25
  technically owns the
• 1:35:26
  SPEAKER_00: club or rather owners the wrong word she is the I guess she is the owner
• 1:35:34
  but the loan for like the building and everything doesn't come
• 1:35:39
  from the bank it
• 1:35:41
  came from Fabian so he's got kind of like a little bit of a
• 1:35:45
  noose around her neck
• 1:35:46
  he doesn't like charge her anything crazy in interest but he
• 1:35:50
  uses the club to do
• 1:35:51
  his own thing most of the time and so she kind of like just has
• 1:35:55
  to eat that part
• 1:35:57
  SPEAKER_00: and she doesn't exactly like it not that he's up to anything crazy
• 1:36:01
  but she doesn't like that he used it as like a you know to do
• 1:36:04
  his own business and
• 1:36:06
  that she's kind of like shunted to the back whenever he wants
• 1:36:10
  to do something
• 1:36:14
  that's so shitty like I mean you own the place and oh my god
• 1:36:21
  that's the worst I
• 1:36:24
  SPEAKER_00: can't even imagine yeah it sucks but you know
• 1:36:29
  Like who the fuck are you to dismiss me just cause I took out a
• 1:36:33
  loan that's so fucked
• 1:36:58
  SPEAKER_00: technically his money.
• 1:36:59
  SPEAKER_00: So until I pay it all back, I kind of am
• 1:37:04
  it's not really that bad it doesn't happen very often it just
• 1:37:07
  sometimes gets on my
• 1:37:09
  last nerve he's never even really there all the time he usually
• 1:37:13
  you know goes
• 1:37:14
  between the cities he's the traveling kind he's got a bunch of
• 1:37:18
  bands with him or
• 1:37:19
  different you know record labels that work underneath him it's
• 1:37:22
  a whole thing he's
• 1:37:24
  this you know business mogul but sometimes he comes here trying
• 1:37:27
  to find new talent
• 1:37:29
  that's why we're doing this battle of band things he doesn't
• 1:37:31
  have big hopes because
• 1:37:32
  we very rarely get anything on this side but he did sign like a
• 1:37:37
  couple of like
• 1:37:37
  Christian rock bands or whatever and they've done really well
• 1:37:40
  for him so he's
• 1:37:41
  always on the hunt for more yeah I mean I know we're gonna play
• 1:37:47
  tonight but I
• 1:37:47
  really don't think we're gonna go for this record deal like
• 1:37:51
  we've read it and it's
• 1:37:52
  SPEAKER_01: just it kind of feels like a trap um you know just
• 1:37:59
  oh I don't know we couldn't really get the legalese out of it
• 1:38:04
  but like there was
• 1:38:05
  just something in the in the like the minutia of it like if it
• 1:38:12
  if it's not
• 1:38:13
  providing certain things it's almost setting you up to fail and
• 1:38:16
  then maybe your
• 1:38:18
  costs are higher than you can afford even including the money
• 1:38:25
  and like I don't know
• 1:38:26
  SPEAKER_01: it just didn't
• 1:38:27
  SPEAKER_01: Someone doesn't sit right.
• 1:38:28
  SPEAKER_01: The rest of the band kind of is like, nah, we're not going to do it.
• 1:38:32
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 1:38:33
  This Fabian character doesn't really seem like the kind of
• 1:38:38
  person we're going for.
• 1:38:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's kind of sad.
• 1:38:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'd like to see more of you, but I get it.
• 1:38:46
  You know,
• 1:38:46
  it is,
• 1:38:47
  I mean,
• 1:38:48
  the deals are never good,
• 1:38:49
  not with anybody,
• 1:38:50
  but especially with him.
• 1:38:51
  SPEAKER_00: He's very feisty in that way.
• 1:38:54
  He would absolutely find ways to make it so that you can't get
• 1:38:58
  out from underneath the contract.
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_00: and then overcharge you for processing fees and then sue you for more.
• 1:39:06
  SPEAKER_00: He's the kind of guy.
• 1:39:07
  SPEAKER_00: But if you were to get it done,
• 1:39:09
  SPEAKER_00: he does honor the deal,
• 1:39:10
  SPEAKER_00: but he does try to undercut you any way he can.
• 1:39:13
  SPEAKER_00: Not me,
• 1:39:14
  SPEAKER_00: of course,
• 1:39:14
  SPEAKER_00: but that's because I'm me and,
• 1:39:16
  SPEAKER_00: well,
• 1:39:16
  SPEAKER_00: I like the business and I had a leg up on him.
• 1:39:18
  SPEAKER_00: He wanted something specific and I was able to help him out with that.
• 1:39:25
  SPEAKER_01: Damn.
• 1:39:26
  SPEAKER_01: That's...
• 1:39:28
  that's it's kind of good to hear that because there's also a
• 1:39:31
  feeling of like maybe
• 1:39:32
  we aren't getting the whole picture and it's a good feeling to
• 1:39:35
  be like yeah
• 1:39:37
  actually that was a good move you know you can't like shoot
• 1:39:41
  yourself in the foot so
• 1:39:42

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm glad to hear you didn't just sell out to the first guy.

• 1:40:03
  although it doesn't actually get them anywhere.

• 1:40:11
  Yeah,
• 1:40:11

  word right he's like
• 1:45:35
  SPEAKER_02: analysis and observation yeah um oh have I stepped on toes somehow
• 1:45:47
  SPEAKER_00: You'd have no way of knowing you're new to the city,

  running of the city um I
• 1:46:21
  just want to like can I just like exude innocence like just
• 1:46:28
  just have her look very
• 1:46:29
  kind of like ignorant you know the like the like naivete yeah
• 1:46:37
  why don't you give me

  SPEAKER_02: um
• 1:46:44
  SPEAKER_00: Give me charisma and subterfuge.

  SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
• 1:47:16
  I'm just trying to play dumb like I didn't totally try just
• 1:47:20
  poaching her with one
• 1:47:25
  success he gives you like a look one that he's he takes what
• 1:47:33
  you say at face value
• 1:47:35
  but he's not fooled right this guy is some sort of doctor some
• 1:47:41
  sort of scientist
• 1:47:42
  SPEAKER_00: he's analyzing you more than he is anything else
• 1:47:46
  but again in the same like voice he goes there was no way you
• 1:47:52
  could have known so I
• 1:47:54
  take no offense to the situation however I would greatly prefer
• 1:48:01
  is if you did not

• 1:48:44
  but I could sense the presence of Kindred near her.
• 1:48:50

• 1:48:56
  Um,

• 1:49:00
  like,
• 1:49:01
  returning to the city if we want to come
• 1:49:04
  you know play here at the club again sometime later is that
• 1:49:07
  something that you have
• 1:49:09
  specific rules for not normally very few ever want to come back

  SPEAKER_00: It's like...
• 1:59:11
  what's the word um it's an after hours like country club let's
• 1:59:17
  call it that but
• 1:59:19
  more for like modern or younger individuals wear less like you
• 1:59:24
  know stuffy people
• 1:59:25
  in suits and more just kind of like it's like a Starbucks but
• 1:59:29
  specifically intended
• 1:59:31
  SPEAKER_00: to be
• 1:59:34
  for like millennials and down so you'll have like whiteboards
• 1:59:39
  on the side for like
• 1:59:40
  groups who come in and are doing like projects or there's one
• 1:59:45
  wall with like chalk
• 1:59:47
  and stuff for artists they serve everything from like coffee to
• 1:59:52
  juices but no
• 1:59:53
  alcohol here and initially when you get there you're like this
• 1:59:58
  is the place uh
• 2:00:00
  SPEAKER_00: however
• 2:00:02
  Robin maybe when you go around to kind of like maybe find
• 2:00:06
  someone in an alley it
• 2:00:07
  doesn't go as well as you might like and you guys are quickly
• 2:00:12
  like forced out right
• 2:00:14
  Jacob you grab Robin as the things don't go as well as you want
• 2:00:17
  to um and you'll
• 2:00:20
  have to find a new place and you do but it's not nearly as as
• 2:00:26
  nice it's kind of
• 2:00:28
  SPEAKER_00: like a grimy dive bar
• 2:00:32
  SPEAKER_00: Say again?
• 2:01:01
  SPEAKER_03: That still has not solved any of my issues, but it will have to do.
• 2:01:07
  SPEAKER_00: Darwin with Robin hunting has not been fortunate for you at all.
• 2:01:12
  SPEAKER_03: Every bloody time.
• 2:01:15
  I made this shit when I still didn't understand the mechanics
• 2:01:18
  of BTM that well,
• 2:01:19
  SPEAKER_03: so now it's biting me in the ass so hard.
• 2:01:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's kind of fun.
• 2:01:27
  SPEAKER_00: Logan.
• 2:01:28
  SPEAKER_00: You're on your way to Madame Savages.
• 2:01:31
  SPEAKER_00: You are also hungry.
• 2:01:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, hungry.
• 2:01:39
  SPEAKER_02: But you've gotta wait for Jacob.
• 2:01:42
  SPEAKER_01: Gotta wait for Jacob.
• 2:01:44
  SPEAKER_01: Gonna meet them at Madame Savages.
• 2:01:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'll be honest,
• 2:01:48
  SPEAKER_01: if she spots one of these nondescript kindred watching her,
• 2:01:52
  SPEAKER_01: things could get dicey.
• 2:01:55
  but luckily she can't spot anything her dice just don't work
• 2:01:58
  that way hence the
• 2:02:03
  wits awareness role I'm gonna ask you for oh terrific this is
• 2:02:12
  so like can I just
• 2:02:14
  SPEAKER_01: not
• 2:02:16
  SPEAKER_01: roll ill because I only have two dots in that.
• 2:02:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like I have two dots and four hunger.
• 2:02:21
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's almost definitely a bestial failure or something.
• 2:02:25
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 2:02:28
  SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you that.
• 2:02:30
  SPEAKER_02: You don't have to roll.
• 2:02:34
  SPEAKER_02: But I will say I'll give you a choice.
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to roll but you're gonna take
• 2:02:45
  something as you definitely maybe feel or a princess feels and
• 2:02:53
  she's like always
• 2:02:54
  growling like every like she turns and everywhere you guys walk
• 2:02:58
  she's like it's
• 2:03:00
  fucking her up badly she turns left and right she can't figure
• 2:03:07
  out where it's
• 2:03:08
  SPEAKER_00: coming from but it's got her all on edge okay cool um
• 2:03:15
  can Logan just go into an alleyway be a thing of like let's see
• 2:03:18
  if they'll follow
• 2:03:19
  oh this is what Logan's gonna do she doesn't like being watched
• 2:03:23
  right now because
• 2:03:23
  she's hungry so she's going to break out into a sprint right
• 2:03:29
  before an alleyway and
• 2:03:31
  then as she turns down it she's going to activate Unseen
• 2:03:37
  Passage which is a
• 2:03:38
  terrible idea because she's at Hunger 4 and that means rousing
• 2:03:41
  but she's gonna do
• 2:03:42
  SPEAKER_01: it and she's
• 2:03:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 2:03:45
  she's gonna do that so just like basically duck behind cover
• 2:03:49
  and activate unseen
• 2:03:50
  passage and wait to see who's gonna come through with with
• 2:03:55
  Princess just behind her
• 2:03:57
  as she takes like a second turn and Princess will just sort of
• 2:04:01
  wait sitting in the
• 2:04:02
  SPEAKER_01: middle of the alleyway Yeah,
• 2:04:06
  SPEAKER_01: give me a rouse check This is probably a worse idea than the
• 2:04:12
  SPEAKER_00: and they're rolling.
• 2:04:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna second that concept.
• 2:04:17
  SPEAKER_00: This is a terrible idea, but we roll with it.
• 2:04:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, terrible idea.
• 2:04:22
  SPEAKER_02: Hunger, what, five?
• 2:04:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's all.
• 2:04:29
  SPEAKER_02: Hunger five.
• 2:04:31
  SPEAKER_02: That's bad.
• 2:04:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's really bad.
• 2:04:36
  SPEAKER_00: But you do.
• 2:04:38
  SPEAKER_00: You unseem passage your way.
• 2:04:41
  SPEAKER_00: You're obfuscated.
• 2:04:43
  SPEAKER_00: and maybe a few minutes later like three to five minutes later these two
• 2:04:52
  individuals in black t-shirts blue jeans white sneakers you
• 2:04:59
  know those kind of like
• 2:05:00
  dad sneakers kind of walk around the come they like see they
• 2:05:04
  turn the corner and
• 2:05:05
  then they very confidently like walk down the alley they stop
• 2:05:10
  kind of at the
• 2:05:11
  SPEAKER_00: beginning
• 2:05:13
  and they see the dog and one way to the other is like what the
• 2:05:16
  fuck where'd she go
• 2:05:18
  like why is the dog here and they like start to look around
• 2:05:22
  they look upwards I
• 2:05:26
  think I just like I want to do just like a little I'm gonna
• 2:05:34
  like let um silence of
• 2:05:38
  SPEAKER_01: death be off for like one little tap
• 2:05:43
  SPEAKER_01: at the other end of the alley.
• 2:05:45
  SPEAKER_01: And then I'm gonna walk around.
• 2:05:48
  SPEAKER_01: And that little tap is to try and signal for, what's it?
• 2:05:54
  SPEAKER_01: Signal Princess to go to the end of the alley.
• 2:05:57
  SPEAKER_02: And like, go there.
• 2:06:03
  yeah the tap goes she moves and keeping their distance from her
• 2:06:07
  because they're not
• 2:06:08
  sure what's what they follow you know maybe 10 feet away from
• 2:06:12
  her they don't want
• 2:06:13
  to grab the dog because they're not sure what's about it but
• 2:06:17
  you can see that their
• 2:06:18
  heads are on like a swivel and they're looking up and looking
• 2:06:22
  around you hear one
• 2:06:23
  say you know I should have fucking drank from the damn Tremere
• 2:06:27
  I'd be able to see
• 2:06:28
  SPEAKER_00: fuck um
• 2:06:32
  SPEAKER_01: Terrific.
• 2:06:32
  SPEAKER_01: I want to walk around behind them.
• 2:06:37
  SPEAKER_00: You do.
• 2:06:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'll give you that.
• 2:06:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you have silence of death.
• 2:06:43
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, you're able to do it.
• 2:06:46
  SPEAKER_01: And then when I get there, I'm gonna drop it.
• 2:06:51

  SPEAKER_00: They both stop cold,
• 2:07:10
  SPEAKER_00: turn around,
• 2:07:11
  SPEAKER_00: and you can see that one of them drops the obfuscate,
• 2:07:20
  SPEAKER_00: the mask of a thousandth face.
• 2:07:22
  SPEAKER_00: The other one keeps it up, but before you is a
• 2:07:26

  okay terrific um with that instant she's gonna um she's she's
• 2:27:10
  like head is

  snatching between the two um can she fall back on the very
• 2:27:18
  unhealthy bond she has
• 2:27:20
  with Jacob just for a moment to be like I need to call Jacob
• 2:27:24
  like ASAP yes but you
• 2:27:28
  SPEAKER_00: have a choice you are
• 2:27:31
  very hungry princesses hurt and you need to eat before you can
• 2:27:36
  help her if you do
• 2:27:38
  if you pick her up as it is and like take off with her you
• 2:27:44
  might be able to get
• 2:27:45
  there before she takes any additional damage if you stop call
• 2:27:49
  Jacob and Jacob has
• 2:27:50
  to stop whatever he's doing and come to you you might get just
• 2:27:54
  a little more
• 2:27:55
  SPEAKER_01: injured okay so I have to
• 2:28:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 2:28:01
  SPEAKER_01: So I need to, like, um, tend to, uh, to, what's it?
• 2:28:08
  SPEAKER_02: Oof.
• 2:28:09
  SPEAKER_01: Brain's fuzzy.
• 2:28:10
  Uh,
• 2:28:10
  I need to tend to Princess or else she's gonna,
• 2:28:12
  like,
• 2:28:13
  get more injured.
• 2:28:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:28:14
  SPEAKER_00: So if you tend to her,
• 2:28:16
  you're gonna not be able to call Jacob right away and more bad
• 2:28:19
  things might happen.
• 2:28:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, or you can call Jacob and bad things won't happen, but Princess will
• 2:28:25
  SPEAKER_00: take a little more damage.
• 2:28:27
  Not that she's like absolutely crushed and wounded or anything,
• 2:28:30
  you know what I mean?
• 2:28:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no.
• 2:28:32
  SPEAKER_01: So as much as Logan loves Princess, Jacob is like meaning in a way.
• 2:28:45
  Like Jacob is family in a way that is almost like the way
• 2:28:49
  people who say family,
• 2:28:50
  like
• 2:28:51
  you know when some people say family and they say it in the
• 2:28:54
  same way that people
• 2:28:55
  talk about God it's like that that's what Jacob is to her so
• 2:28:59
  she's going to she's
• 2:29:00
  going to like shake and call Jacob and just yeah see if see if
• 2:29:11
  he picks up Jacob
• 2:29:14
  SPEAKER_02: you get a phone call yeah seeing it's
• 2:29:20
  SPEAKER_02: my quote unquote family member Jacob answers Hello?
• 2:29:27
  Jacob help Jacob help I'm I'm and then I don't know I'm in this
• 2:29:36
  I'm in this
• 2:29:36
  alleyway um the the people who follow me fuck fucking dicks
• 2:29:43
  tried to um oh they uh
• 2:29:47
  SPEAKER_01: they knew that I was really hungry
• 2:29:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um And they And he's bleeding And I really need you Which alleyway?
• 2:30:01
  SPEAKER_02: Where are you?
• 2:30:03
  Um Just give me a second And then she's gonna try send her
• 2:30:08
  location on her phone
• 2:30:11
  SPEAKER_00: Your hands are a bit cheeky
• 2:30:13
  SPEAKER_00: You know, princesses heard the food was right there.
• 2:30:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's you can still smell the drips on the floor.
• 2:30:22
  SPEAKER_00: Mania, I think you know where this is going.
• 2:30:25
  SPEAKER_00: You end up sending the location to Jacob.
• 2:30:33
  SPEAKER_01: I think
• 2:30:34
  I think Logan's body heaves and all of the like delicious
• 2:30:39
  Caribbean food comes out
• 2:30:41
  because her body's like no we have to make space for the actual
• 2:30:43
  food so she's like
• 2:30:46
  heaving in this alleyway with the phone call is still open so
• 2:30:54
  if Jacob hasn't put
• 2:30:55
  SPEAKER_01: down gets the delicious sound of all that and you know
• 2:31:03
  I need another willpower roll your unspent willpower at the
• 2:31:08
  same difficulty
• 2:31:10
  forecheck um two two you want to tend to princess in this
• 2:31:18
  moment while you wait for
• 2:31:21
  Jacob um I think that as much as she thinks she's like I need
• 2:31:29
  to tend to princess
• 2:31:29
  SPEAKER_01: she's also like
• 2:31:31
  There's a good chance if I try to end a princess right now I'm
• 2:31:33
  gonna eat her So
• 2:31:36
  she's She's like Got her eyes closed Her hands scrunched up I
• 2:31:43
  think she's doing
• 2:31:44
  something very unwise Which is maybe she's like Bitten her own
• 2:31:47
  arm And trying to
• 2:31:49
  like Somehow suck more blood out of herself Just to keep the
• 2:31:53
  hunger at bay Yeah
• 2:31:56
  SPEAKER_00: That You're biting your own arm It does nothing
• 2:32:00
  but the smell of the few drops of blood on the ground behind
• 2:32:05
  you is too enticing to
• 2:32:09
  ignore and against your better judgment against your own desire
• 2:32:14
  and will you on
• 2:32:17
  hands and knees crawl over to this tiny puddle of blood and
• 2:32:24
  your monstrous nature
• 2:32:26
  SPEAKER_00: the desperation of being a vampire makes itself
• 2:32:30
  SPEAKER_00: very clear as you begin to,
• 2:32:34
  SPEAKER_00: on this dirty alley floor,
• 2:32:37
  SPEAKER_00: lick the blood off the ground,
• 2:32:40
  SPEAKER_00: trying to get any sustenance you can from it.
• 2:32:45
  SPEAKER_00: And there's there's just so little,
• 2:32:47
  but you try and try and you're licking it and you're licking
• 2:32:50
  the floor and
• 2:32:53
  SPEAKER_00: somewhere in the back of your mind is your own consciousness.
• 2:32:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'd like to know
• 2:33:00
  what that little portion of you that still exists in this
• 2:33:04
  moment is thinking and
• 2:33:06
  SPEAKER_00: feeling,
• 2:33:08
  SPEAKER_00: seeing yourself this way.
• 2:33:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oh,
• 2:33:13
  SPEAKER_01: it's,
• 2:33:13
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:33:14
  SPEAKER_01: when you can't look away from a thing,
• 2:33:17
  SPEAKER_01: like something is forcing you to watch.
• 2:33:22
  SPEAKER_01: and you just, you hate it.
• 2:33:23
  SPEAKER_01: You hate it so much.
• 2:33:25
  SPEAKER_01: You hate that you can't look away, that you can't escape it.
• 2:33:30
  SPEAKER_01: You just revulsion.
• 2:33:33
  SPEAKER_01: Revulsion at yourself.
• 2:33:35
  SPEAKER_01: Revulsion at the thing that's happening.
• 2:33:37
  SPEAKER_01: Revulsion at the fact that you can't stop yourself from watching.
• 2:33:44
  SPEAKER_01: Just fully
• 2:33:47
  SPEAKER_01: all that and somewhere deep, deep down past that is so much self-pity.
• 2:33:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:34:00
  It's like being in the sunken place and watching yourself do
• 2:34:05
  something so inhuman,
• 2:34:08
  so debased.
• 2:34:11
  SPEAKER_00: You're less than like
• 2:34:15
  SPEAKER_00: the meanest animal right now, right?
• 2:34:18
  SPEAKER_00: Even animals stop at some point when they know there's nothing left.
• 2:34:23
  SPEAKER_00: They, you know, let go of the scraps.
• 2:34:26
  SPEAKER_00: You are in this moment,
• 2:34:28
  SPEAKER_00: if someone were to look at you,
• 2:34:30
  SPEAKER_00: you might be the bottom of the bottom feeders,
• 2:34:34
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 2:34:34
  SPEAKER_00: They at least feed on like the dead cargasses.
• 2:34:37
  SPEAKER_00: Here you are licking the ground for trace residues of blood.
• 2:34:44
  and as you do you can't stop this you need to have it that's
• 2:34:48
  when the van pulls up
• 2:34:50
  and Jacob and Robin you guys pop out you see Princess kind of
• 2:34:55
  on the side a little
• 2:34:56
  hurt she's on her feet but you know limping a little and you
• 2:34:59
  can see Logan there on
• 2:35:02
  SPEAKER_00: the ground licking
• 2:35:05
  SPEAKER_00: for trace residues of blood.
• 2:35:08
  SPEAKER_00: Logan, what is the look on your face?
• 2:35:10
  SPEAKER_00: You look up,
• 2:35:10
  SPEAKER_00: like you're still licking the floor,
• 2:35:12
  SPEAKER_00: but your eyes look up and you see the two of them.
• 2:35:15
  SPEAKER_00: What do they see on your face besides, like, the insane madness?
• 2:35:20
  SPEAKER_00: But what's the expression in the eyes as Robin and Jacob see you?
• 2:35:26
  SPEAKER_01: Eyes are so cloudy.
• 2:35:29
  SPEAKER_01: Like...
• 2:35:30
  SPEAKER_01: Wherever Logan is, she's so deep, deep in her mind.
• 2:35:34
  SPEAKER_01: I think just the word blood leach is like,
• 2:35:39
  SPEAKER_01: like she's heard it before,
• 2:35:40
  but it didn't feel like as much of an insult as this one time
• 2:35:44
  someone tried to
• 2:35:45
  SPEAKER_01: weaponize the blood against her.
• 2:35:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's your guys' scene.
• 2:35:51
  SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
• 2:35:52
  SPEAKER_03: Question.

  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 2:35:55
  SPEAKER_03: Is the second guy who stayed behind, is he still here?
• 2:36:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
• 2:36:00
  SPEAKER_00: Neither one stayed behind.
• 2:36:01
  The one grabbed him in like a bear hug and dragged him bodily
• 2:36:05
  from the alley way
• 2:36:06
  SPEAKER_00: before you guys got here.
• 2:36:08
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:36:09
  SPEAKER_03: So as the van skids to a halt,
• 2:36:15
  SPEAKER_03: Robin immediately runs out,
• 2:36:19
  SPEAKER_03: not going for Logan,
• 2:36:22
  SPEAKER_03: but for Princess Dartmouth.
• 2:36:24
  SPEAKER_03: And she kind of like... She kind of like...
• 2:36:29
  Like,
• 2:36:29
  goes to her and like,
• 2:36:31
  come on,
• 2:36:32
  I have medical supplies in the...
• 2:36:36
  We need to go.
• 2:36:40
  SPEAKER_03: She doesn't know how to communicate with the dog,
• 2:36:42
  but she just needs to get the dog out of the way so she can
• 2:36:46
  help patch her up.
• 2:36:49
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, you're...
• 2:36:53
  SPEAKER_00: not aggressively.
• 2:36:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's not an aggressive growl,
• 2:36:56
  but it's one that clearly says like back off as she like limps
• 2:37:03
  slowly towards
• 2:37:06
  SPEAKER_00: Logan,
• 2:37:07
  SPEAKER_00: but not like
• 2:37:09
  but very very cautiously it's not the first time that Logan has
• 2:37:13
  been in this state
• 2:37:14
  and Princess Dartmouth is no idiot she knows she's a bonded
• 2:37:19
  creature and she knows
• 2:37:20
  that she's in danger that you're in danger that Jacob's in
• 2:37:24
  danger everyone here's
• 2:37:26
  life hangs on like a knife edge right now and but she's no way
• 2:37:32
  in hell going to
• 2:37:33
  SPEAKER_00: abandon Logan in this moment
• 2:37:36
  she doesn't try to bite you or anything but if you try to like
• 2:37:39
  pull her away she's
• 2:37:41
  going to get aggressive but the growl is more just like and
• 2:37:44
  like she's focused on
• 2:37:45
  her and clearly wants you to focus on Logan as well listen
• 2:37:52
  Jacob is going to focus
• 2:37:54
  on Logan he'll he'll be able to take care of her but if you say
• 2:38:01
  here we don't know
• 2:38:02
  SPEAKER_03: what will happen I'm
• 2:38:04
  She turns to like look at you and there's like a sense of
• 2:38:09
  awareness she stops
• 2:38:10
  getting closer to Logan but she doesn't go with you she just
• 2:38:15
  kind of like plops
• 2:38:16
  SPEAKER_03: down near you exhausted
• 2:38:34
  uh and like leans her head against you like if you're down on
• 2:38:37
  like a knee talking
• 2:38:38
  to her she just like leans her head against you like clearly
• 2:38:41
  like tired girl I'll
• 2:38:47
  be right back she kind of like scrambles for her van like like
• 2:38:52
  it takes her a
• 2:38:53
  minute to like throw everything around before finally finally
• 2:38:58
  finding a first aid
• 2:39:00
  SPEAKER_03: kit under a
• 2:39:01
  piled clothes and random assortments of trinkets and
• 2:39:05
  immediately rushes back to her.
• 2:39:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:39:11
  SPEAKER_00: While you're, while this is happening, Jacob, talk to us.
• 2:39:18
  SPEAKER_02: You see Logan in this pitiable state.
• 2:39:22
  SPEAKER_02: What's going on?
• 2:39:25
  SPEAKER_02: Before you do anything, what's going on in Jacob's mind?
• 2:39:33
  SPEAKER_02: He's trying to problem solve it,
• 2:39:35
  SPEAKER_03: trying to figure out how he can help her while not screwing over himself.
• 2:39:46
  SPEAKER_03: And he's just coming to a blank end every time.
• 2:39:51
  SPEAKER_03: But there's many concern besides that as he's running over to Logan
• 2:40:05
  Logan,
• 2:40:06
  dear,
• 2:40:07
  as he crouches down and tries to place his hands upon Logan's
• 2:40:15
  shoulder.
• 2:40:15
  SPEAKER_02: Logan, you are mostly in control.
• 2:40:24
  SPEAKER_02: Mostly.
• 2:40:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's your scene.
• 2:40:31
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:40:35
  SPEAKER_02: Pull my
• 2:40:37
  SPEAKER_02: You're cutting out really badly.
• 2:40:41
  SPEAKER_02: Is she cutting out really badly for everybody?
• 2:40:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:40:53
  SPEAKER_03: Still an issue.
• 2:40:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh crap.
• 2:40:57
  SPEAKER_02: Is this better?
• 2:40:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:41:00
  SPEAKER_02: All good.
• 2:41:03
  SPEAKER_02: Take a moment.
• 2:41:05
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob.
• 2:41:06
  SPEAKER_02: all that happens.
• 2:41:10
  This situation,
• 2:41:11
  you know better than Logan,
• 2:41:14
  better than Robin,
• 2:41:15
  that this is not good.
• 2:41:17
  SPEAKER_00: You're hungry and Logan is hungry.
• 2:41:20
  SPEAKER_00: And there's so few options available.
• 2:41:26
  SPEAKER_00: One of them is tending to Princess Dartmouth.
• 2:41:31
  SPEAKER_00: But that's a box of worms.
• 2:41:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's not for me to decide.
• 2:41:37
  SPEAKER_00: But it's an option.
• 2:41:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:41:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's a bag of cats if I've ever seen it.
• 2:41:43
  SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
• 2:41:44
  SPEAKER_00: You're seen.
• 2:41:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:41:49
  So I was asking,
• 2:41:52
  do I have enough faculties to pull away from licking the floor
• 2:41:57
  or is it still?
• 2:41:58
  SPEAKER_00: No, you have just enough.
• 2:42:01
  You're still leaned over it,
• 2:42:02
  but you've stopped licking and you can look up and
• 2:42:06
  SPEAKER_00: talk-ish to Jacob.
• 2:42:11
  I think she's sort of like backs up so she's sort of like
• 2:42:16
  sitting on her haunches
• 2:42:19
  SPEAKER_01: like on her knees there like her head knelt back being like just tears,
• 2:42:26
  SPEAKER_01: these little red tears running down her face.
• 2:42:33
  SPEAKER_02: I fucked up.
• 2:42:34
  SPEAKER_02: I fucked up again.
• 2:42:38
  And I'll always be there to dig you out of that hole you put
• 2:42:42
  yourself in.
• 2:42:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not worth it.
• 2:42:47
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just a blood leech.
• 2:42:50
  SPEAKER_02: And you... even so...
• 2:42:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm still here, aren't I?
• 2:42:56
  SPEAKER_02: I don't understand.
• 2:42:59
  SPEAKER_02: I'm so hungry.
• 2:43:01
  SPEAKER_02: So... Have your feel for me.
• 2:43:07
  SPEAKER_02: Don't you?
• 2:43:10
  SPEAKER_02: It'll be fine.
• 2:43:13
  SPEAKER_02: Logan.
• 2:43:16
  SPEAKER_00: You have some of your faculties left.
• 2:43:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'd like you to give me a dice pool of your wits and insight.
• 2:43:28
  SPEAKER_00: And a minus one roll.
• 2:43:31
  SPEAKER_00: A minus one die.
• 2:43:32
  SPEAKER_00: But give it to me anyway.
• 2:43:35
  SPEAKER_00: No difficulty.
• 2:43:36
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to know what you get.
• 2:43:39

  Jacob's responsibility,
• 2:46:03
  SPEAKER_00: even if it's just the one time.
• 2:46:05
  SPEAKER_00: Or you can do none of it at all.
• 2:46:09
  but you are in a unique position to help and I want to know
• 2:46:14
  before anything happens
• 2:46:17
  what is on Robin's mind Robin Robin is a little frozen in the
• 2:46:28
  moment she's had the
• 2:46:32
  SPEAKER_03: first aid kit by the Prince of Dartmouth like
• 2:46:36
  examining her wounds but like her eyes are still locked on to
• 2:46:40
  Jacob and Logan and
• 2:46:45
  maybe it's the desperation in their eyes maybe it's the pain
• 2:46:51
  from Logan's voice and
• 2:46:55
  everything that's going on everything that happened before
• 2:46:59
  everything that happened
• 2:47:00
  SPEAKER_03: tonight it
• 2:47:05
  it causes some kind of aching if she feels it in her heart
• 2:47:12
  somewhere or maybe
• 2:47:14
  somewhere nebulous similar to that and she she doesn't even
• 2:47:23
  know why she does it
• 2:47:25
  SPEAKER_03: does it she kind of stands up goes to Logan and looks down at Jacob
• 2:47:34
  SPEAKER_02: and as follows.
• 2:47:36
  SPEAKER_02: Jacob?
• 2:47:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah?
• 2:47:43

  SPEAKER_02: I'm full.
• 2:48:04

• 2:48:12
  moment Logan's gonna
• 2:48:14
  open her eyes and look at you and I want you you see plainly on
• 2:48:18
  her face that if
• 2:48:19
  you try to feed her she will hurt you and she casts that same
• 2:48:26
  glance to Logan I
• 2:48:27
  SPEAKER_01: mean to Jacob of like
• 2:48:31
  this is this is not the time for this right like she's what no
