  Speaker 1: Where do you work?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I think somewhere close to the Little Caribbean, just like
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a teeny tiny storefront. I think it's got the address
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that has behalf a place that's been like boxed in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: inside somewhere else. I don't think with a window, just
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the door in on the door is like a neon
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: sign that says Ronnie's Readings on it. It's like in
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: purple neon, I flick that on.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: What does Ronnie know that she is doing here?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: I think when talking with Jill, she realized that it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: like the ritual of people coming to see her and
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: do this something out of the ordinary, but then also
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: like becomes repetitive and ordinary to them. And then also exercise,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: like the increase in circulation and endorphins released.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: And then like intense but almost like leading people to
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: like meditation and like focusing on just these movements, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: then now that's yeah, she's helping them feel better in
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: some way emotionally by just doing that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We begin outside of the tailor's apartment in sass Quanta
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: has an important appointment tonight in ask at a certain
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: candle's store.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: After hugging my brothers goodbye, I strike up on top
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of a building, do a little cartwheel in my new suit,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden feel all of this freedom
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that I haven't felt before, knowing that my name is
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: almost cleared, that I have this new suit, kind of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a new identity, and I want to be seen. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I run to the edge of the building, jump and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: strike to the closest electrical wire and as I jump
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and strike and come out of lightning form. I want
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to unfurl my scarf and whip it over the electrical
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: wire like a zipline and hold on with one hand
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and then start zip lining around the city.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Awesome, propelled by your own power and infrastructure. Yay, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: zip through the city. You get to Carrie's candles. It's late,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you see. You do a sense and you don't have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to roll. You sense Carrie and some family members in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the top part because they live above. They live above
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the store. But you also send someone at the front door.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And as you look, it's not camp. Do I recognize them?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You do?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Not? Would like it to take a closer look more quietly,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: get to the top of Carrie's candles and peer down.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make a sense check as you look over the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: edge of the building. This is an average check. Now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this is a simple check. I'm rolling a D six
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: oh five. I rolled a four. All you see is
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a woman in a trench coat. She has sunglasses on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: at night, and she has a scarf over her head
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and tied under her chin, silk scarf. What colors am
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I saying? What is she feeling? As you get a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: lock in on her emotional state. She's not afraid, she's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: not hostile, she's not angry. She is waiting, and she
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is hopeful. She knocks again on the door. Right, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: think I'm just gonna stay here and observe for a moment.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You feel like, come on in Carrie's You feel like,

  Speaker 1: stairs with one of her candles. Oh that's freaking adorable.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: She opens the door. It's ma'am, it's like midnight. Where

  Speaker 1: it's past midnight. We're so closed. You hear the woman
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: say I have a proposition for you, and Carrie says, oh, okay,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: come on in. Then I'm stay where I am, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: listen in. You probably can't hear them from where you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: are here. What as they go inside?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Is there any security system, as I sense in the building,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'll roll a luck.

  Speaker 2: So maybe Sophia is taking advantage of the fighting. Well,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: just just camp work for the Irish mob, because Carrie
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: said I wouldn't have to worry about the Irish or Camp.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: What about the Yakuza? As you are having these thoughts,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you come out of them, walking down the sidewalk in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: front door. Walking down the sidewalk, you hear a voice
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: from an alley. Are you follow me? A hero?
• 10:01

• 11:14
  Speaker 1: It's good to know I can be a powerful ally

• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Well, i've seen what you've I've seen you around.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't go out much. It's not safe. Well,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you could do this for me if you see come
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: upon sex work not under the name Sophia. Let me
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: know that is my domain in the city. One of them.

• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I just I'm not. Tell everybody thought you want to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: help the people of this city, you wouldn't find the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: abuse of sex workers to be in the help of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the people of this city. Well, of course I would.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: But well let me know. I will help you, you
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: will help me. We'll see very well. I have a
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: long walk home. I don't you strike off into the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: sick man. So much networking happens in alleys, so much
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: networking at night. You just got to walk around and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: wait for what do we need business cards? Guys?
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: This is what happens when you touch grass. You just
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: meet ali homies. Go outside. Kids.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think we should advise because you walk down
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: to Alley's, but you should touch grass.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't touch grass. Yeah, I know.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Underage drinking. We've done that some in this podcast, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: none of that either. Touch grass, don't go down alleys.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Who's underage drinking? Uh, Jimmy, your sister. That's the biggest
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: crime that we've done. She's eighteen. Murder, Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, should we should we pause for an extremely long
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: ps a about what not to kids.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Don't drink, stay in school. Murder is fine, Your electrical
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: wires is not a good idea. Where are you going tonight, Jason?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: So I think first I just start walking instinctively back
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: towards the library, and then stop. And then I think
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I should probably go and keep an eye on Page,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: and I pull out the tailor's gun that I have.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: But then I hear a voice from within, Jason, how
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: do you have a gun for protection? Because we don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: have any powers right now. Okay, you gotta do something.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Can just leave Page alone? I know, I know, but
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: we've got to figure this thing out. Okay, Okay, can't
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: go to the library. If we stay with Page, she's gonna
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: notice us running around. Here's a city question, Johnny. What's
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the over under of there being an abandoned newspaper?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Probably pretty good, probably pretty good chance.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the defunct Babbler or something new babbel Babbler. Uh yeah,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I want to go to like an old I want
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: somewhere with lots of paper, somewhere that's like an abandoned
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: newspaper place. Uh, to maybe do some some conversation with Arthur,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: some some training stuff when we get to that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so just gotten that out. Let's say that there
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is a publishing company that no longer publishes books, like
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a printer, a printer and publisher that no longer is working.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It was like when they built New Babbel, they wanted
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it to be able to be the center of culture
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in America and the world, and so they put everything here,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: including a publishing, a printing, printing and publishing company that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is no longer working. The Prince of Prince, the Prince
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of Prince. That's affect. You're welcome. Yeah, so I guess
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I want to head there. Peep. Yeah, it's all peep.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: It's peep peepee coated.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's peepe all the way down for me. There's
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: a theme here. The theme is peepee.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess i'll If it's nearby, I would
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: like to potentially head head towards Prince the Prince of Prince.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure sounds great. It is on. It would also
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: be in ask where you live, so it's not too far.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: You got to walk north quite a ways, but you
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: would go there anyway to be with Page or to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: be at the library.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: So okay, cool, Yeah, I'll just head there walking kind
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: of sticking to the shadows, take a train or bus.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing full.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Spellbook outfit at this point, so probably just creeping around.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Alley's.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Look.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, any Alley homies, any Alley homies on the way,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: No Alley homies for you, weird? Jamiir, are you just
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: going home or you doing anything in your new suit?
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Jamiir is definitely gonna fly around the city with my
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: new suit on. Jamir hasn't been feeling very super lately.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: I got my booty dog walked a couple times. But
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: now I have new threads on, bold, new colors. I'm
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: not wearing cobble together shit, and I'm feeling like a
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: real hero. So Jamiir is gonna step off the roof,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: let myself fall. I'm going a flight star halfway down
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: the building, zoom kind of low, just above the cars,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: and then lean up flying over the rooftops. Maybe you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: on the off chance I hear a scream, I would intervene,
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: but I mostly just wanted to be seen as a
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: hero around town. And my plan is to eventually go
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: to the shoot and sleep back at my parents' house.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Tonight sounds good. We are going to head into a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: time of downtime.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: You guys here we are big Bingus downtime, big Bengus
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: all day.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Is that a thing that a big bank? Yeah, I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: think that's just a me thing. It's not a new babylism.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's just I'd like to say big. As you all
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: start to think about these numbers, listen to the state
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of the city and what this is some just some
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: blanket stuff that happens during this week of downtime that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get bogged down with. As we're
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: doing downtime, the city begins to try to heal from
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the attacks of the Flog Gang. You learn that they
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: attacked all of the quadrants of the city, not just
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the places that you were able to defend. However, due
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to their defeat at the Battle of the pen Dragon Library,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: they have gone silent. A new Babbel begins to rebuild.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: The news cycle is full of the destruction and the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: burning of the pen Dragon Library. It is a historical
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: landmark of the city, and the general idea around it
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: is that people are sad that it was destroyed. Henry
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: hilland the guy who is running for mayor against Cordula
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: is seeking the proprietor of the library and promises to rebuild.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Henry and Cordula Soma are in the news quite a bit.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: New Babel News the TV circuit highlights Henry's philanthropy and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Cordula's criminal history. They also start including the slander of
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: her son called the Soma Prince. He is the head
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: of her security detail and they kind of throw him
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: around as a though a bruiser. The Tower and more.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Factual radio news sources highlight Cordula's servants' hands and generosity,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and pictures of her son are printed that show him
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: helping along with his mother. He seems jolly as he
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: gives to people in need. All of the news outlets
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: are worried about what it would mean for the people
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: of New Babbel if they followed Henry's radical idea of
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: rejoining America. The candidates have agreed to a televised debate
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: at the end of this coming week. In the news,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there are also stories of the god come back to
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: life in Veronica Cantor Dason. The truth has been told
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and she has been acquitted. There are those who believe
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: her innocence, there are those who don't, but most don't
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: care about the elite's mistakes on the northwest side of town.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And then the news is full of the talk of heroes,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Rumors of old heroes return in bright blade and everwing,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: stories of wonder and eyewitnesses saved by new knights who
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: defend them against monsters made by men and men who
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: have turned monster. This is the state of your city.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: We are going to enter downtime. Go and choose your numbers.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: There is a chance here for all of you to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: level up depending on the events that take place, So
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: take that into account as you choose your downtime numbers.
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: Diggity damn, what a tease. What a tease.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of let the narrative we create decide
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: when those times are. I don't necessarily have them in mind,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: but based on what your characters are doing. I have
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: some thoughts, but let's just go with the flow. Oh man,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the ghost, Let's ride the creamy wave. Let's ride the light.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: If you want to know what that creamy wave is
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: all about, head on over the chat cave.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. You the creamy wave is a chat

• 23:42
  Speaker 1: next two or three episodes when you get to level up. Huh.
• 23:45

• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that level level three because it's kind of a fun

  Speaker 3: don't need no pips, don't want them, don't need them,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: don't want them. I don't need no pips. But what
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I do want is to branch a new power here.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I want to use all I want to use.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Three of these four trains to just fully get a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: new power. Great, but before you tell us what it is,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: let's go into let's let's do the scene here, like,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: let's do the week, like what are you doing? How
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: are you training? Are you meditating with art? Like? What
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: are you what are you doing here? Yeah?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I think the first thing, cause right now my power
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: is blocked. Correct, since since Arthur and I have to
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: negotiate a new deal, the source of my power has
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: been is tied to the deal I make with the
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: being in the book. So Arthur and I are gonna
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: sit down in the Prince of Prince and fucking get
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: after it. So Jason has taken off the spell book clothes.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: He's just kind of in a street clothes trying to
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: move paper, and after a while some of it crumples
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: up into the face of Arthur.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: You gotta you can't do that, not without me.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I'm always here now, Jesus Christ, are you gonna be
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: here when I use the bathroom? Come on, man, you
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: want your powers, you gotta figure it out. Okay, Okay, fine,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: you want to make a deal. Let's make a deal,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: let's talk. I still want to fight against bad people.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Is that okay? Is that allowed? M? I guess maybe
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: it depends. It seems risky dangerous. Yeah, it's gonna be
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: risky and dangerous. That's that's Look. I know where you're
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: going with this. M. No killing, Jason, Okay, we can.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: We can deal with that. I will agree. I will
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: concede that term.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: No killing.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, what else do you want? If you're going to
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: take risks, they need to be calculated. You need to think,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: use your brain. Oh I'm so bad at that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You spend all that time reading in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the library. You're smart, You're just not a people person. Okay, but.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: You could think of a plan and then do it right. Okay,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: No rushing headfirst into danger. Think ahead, deal, no killing,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: think ahead. We can do that. We can do that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: That's at it. One more thing. You can't tell Page
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: what Arthur?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Look?
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I know you want to protect her, but that's crazy. Okay,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: she's so much smarter than us. She's gonna figure it out. Dude,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: If she doesn't already, wouldn't it be safe for just
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: to tell her and then she could protect herself. Like
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: it feels like a really antiquated, weird way of approaching
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: the situation. Look, my family was torn apart by magic
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: and fighting against evil. It's dangerous and I want to
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: keep her out of it. This is what I have
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to do. Then, this is what I have to do. Jason, No,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: killing have a plan, and I won't tell Paige.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You've got yourself, motherfucking do you?
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: The paper of the of of Princess Prince off of
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: one of the giant rollers forms into a hand and
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Jason shakes it and the papers and shrouds me once again.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, as the paper covers you, do you go
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: back to your old Look here, I know you're waiting
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: on something from the tailor, but what does it look like?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I think for right now, we're just gonna go mummy.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Ropes like full just just cover me up head to
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: toe and paper kind of like a white silhouette.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: This is training, training outfit.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: It's the equivalent of wearing, you know, yoga pants, but
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: made a paper.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah you you form yourself a paper dangerous? I ripped him?
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Uh you just sort of yeah, mummy wraps for right now? Yeah,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: you you form yourself a paper chrysalis, and we will
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: see who the new Jason becomes.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: A butterfly. Do you want to know about the branch
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: that I'm thinking here? You want to kind of circle back?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: No, like, let's keep going a so you you come
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to this space with Arthur where you can start a
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: But then as you this is this takes place during
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the whole week. If we do some other thread chasing
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and such, you still might not have access to your powers,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: depending on how the other threads go and stuff. Sure,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: but as you and Arthur come to a place of agreement,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: you wrap yourself in this paper. The mechanically you're training
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: numbers here give you the opportunity to just straight out
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: pass on some branching power roles or get pips. You're
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: choosing the branching power roles. As you cover yourself in paper,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and you have harmony and this deal new deal made
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: with Arthur. What are you seeking here in this printing press.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: So having experienced the power of the memory of being spellbook,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: having access to his cloak, having Arthur be the wielder
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: of the staff of creation, I think all the paper
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: that's in this space, I just want to get to
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: know it understand it, and then with Arthur's help, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: want to create paper no more. I will never ask
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: you again how much papers in this room, because that'll
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: just come out of a book.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome, big. You and Arthur start to talk
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: about this. He I think even for this. You go
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and you find the staff. You sneak into the library
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: that's all burnt up. The staff was broken. It was
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: it was found broken next to Arthur where he died.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: You bring this staff back to this new home you're making,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and Arthur breaks down some of the magic in it
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: for you, tells you some phrases that might help magically.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: As the two of you think about creation, magic and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the moment where paper comes out of you and you
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: create it, what does it look like? What happens? Yeah?
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I hold my hand to like one of the large
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: paper rolls that's in this room. I feel the words
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: that are written there, and just like as I utter
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: words and wave my hand like a like a Xerox machine,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: just new and a copy of the paper will basically
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: like a print out of my chest and I rip
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: it off. Hell yeah, and.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: The paper phantom levels up?
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Nice?
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: What are you taking at level three?
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I think because I have the poopiest strength and I
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: burn through energy like crazy. Because I'm a mad lad.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna take flow. It allows me to
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: siphon energy from other creatures into myself or other people too.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I can just move.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Energy around, which I think would be super handy. Plus
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I've got swirling tides, so there's good mechanical synergy.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: So that's what I That's what I want.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I want to be able to kind of like what
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking is, you know, copying paper, taking Like I've
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: always thought of paper as a physical manifestation of the
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: amount of energy I have. So if I take energy
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: from someone else, it just like creates more paper.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Now awesome, very cool paper vampire. M hm. So those
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: are three of the four points you've given here to
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: create paper. You have one more. You gave four. You
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: could either get a pip or you have one more
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: success on becoming paper that you haven't hit yet.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick that point. I'll be smart, and I'm
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: just going to finish out my branch on becoming one
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: with papers. The name of that branch sounds good. So
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: now I can make paper and be paper.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: That's so cool. You're the self made paper cloud lad
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: exciting training from the paper phantom. Jamiir training for you.
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: For the first time. I think in this game, Jamir's
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: going zero for training, zero in training. These numbers are crazy.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: You guys are crazy, very crazy. All rest, no train,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: take the bus, bish and Quanta training also zero wow
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: zero for training. Oh crazy, very crazy. All right, let's
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: jump to Patrol. We'll go the other way around the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: table because Ethan got a big one for training. Quanta Patrol.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I gave four to patrol. Wow, four to Patrol. I'm
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: feeling cute.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I want to be seen around this city and you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: also making sure everyone's okay, and you know that the
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: mob war isn't you know, tearing lives apart, but also
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: feeling really cute.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: So Quanta, you want to be seen in your new fit.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Anything else you're trying to accomplish with the patrol, anything
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: else you're trying to gather.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like having encountered Sophia the other night,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: trying to see like is the check around the city,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Like is the flog activity just gone? How is she
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: or the yakuza taking advantage of that trying to locate
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: camp as I'm like going about and then also you know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: just helping people, stopping little crimes along the way. Yeah,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: as I witnessed them, you know, getting a cat out
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: of a tree.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: With a four, you get a lot of information. You
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: just trd doing broad sweep, You get noticed, you get seen.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of like, is this a new hero
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: or not. I just think it's Quanta kind of stuff.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I wish Taylor could get some publicity for this, but
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: they'd probably get kidnapped, but they'd like that.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: The Irish have gone very quiet. You aren't seeing them anywhere.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Camp part of the flog is also not making his
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: rounds anymore. On the north side. You also get word
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: as you zip throughout the city, just trying to get
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the lay of the land, that a family meeting of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the four crime lords has been called. I'll ask for
• 39:22

• 40:24
  Speaker 1: like the lightning that you are as your new suit brings.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: What do you think that brings you? You talked about like
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the confidence and the freedom, But what else do you think?
• 40:36

• 43:41
  Speaker 1: have have been trading fire with members of the community

  Speaker 1: in the community center. It looked like there was some
• 43:49

• 45:38
  Speaker 1: of concrete and a little bit of earth. What do
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: you say? Guns down? Everybody? The guns stop. All the
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: police officers look to a single figure. He steps forward
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: and addresses you. Who are you to tell us what
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to do? Rachel turns to him.
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: I step off my flight star, and I summon another
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: one one foot lower, and then I do it again,
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: creating a stairway of stars as I descend, doortive slowly,
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: and I say, I'm Richel, the right foot of the
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: Great Hunter, the protector of New Babbel, and I could
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: break you in half?
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: What's going on here? Me and my men are stopping
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: unlawful activity, as is our right and our job. Speaking
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: of unlawful you're under rest too, Guns.
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: Up, boys, Rachel just shakes his head and says, gentlemen,
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't recommend obeying that order.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Make another KOX check. You will make this check against
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: thunderfist Ron, all right? Still with my power?
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: No?
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, does thunderfist Ron do porn?
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a six nice thunderfist Ron. G name
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: it birth. Somehow doubt that's a given.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: First name thunderfist last name ron, first name thunder fist.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Last name Ron right, Joe. Go ahead and make a
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: knowledge check as well. Keep that six in your brain, Okay,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: So make a knowledge check for Thunderfist ron. I got
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: a D ten five five, I'm rolling for that. I'm
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: rolling a simple chick, I got a three. You've heard
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: of this guy, I've seen his work. Thunderfish Run is
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: the reason why goddamn with Thunderfass Roun is the reason
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: why the police on the south side are so militant.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: He claims that his father fought in the Evo War
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: and has passed that down to him. You know, Rachel,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the police in New Babbel are pretty desparate. They basically
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: operate in their quadrants without much oversight. Thunderfish Roun on
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: the south side is the most you know that the
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: police on the North side are corrupt. I don't know
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: if you would use that word for him. I just
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: think you would. He is. He is cruel. He is
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: known for over over incarcerating the people in the south side,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: over policing. Police brutality runs amok on the south Side
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: with no repercussion, no repercussions, no oversight. Thunderfist Run is
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: in charge down here in charge of the police. Correct, well,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: he would say he's in charge of cooso. Gotcha, But
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: that's what he would say. He's also in charge of porn. No, no,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: he's not kid okay, okay, So then you're rolling against him.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: He only rolls two d fours for this. I rolled
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: two two's, that's four. I got a six. The men
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: around Thunderfist look down their weapons, look at him. There's
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: a moment of silence, of tension here that could be
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: cut with a knife. And then finally he says, pack
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: it up this time, boy, next time I see you.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: He points to you, Rigel taking you in.
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, good luck with that. Rachel will just turn around,
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: just give my back to him, no fear and create
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: another star ladder up and I'll kind of yell across
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: the barricade it's time to go home. Everybody shows over.
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: Anybody hurt, anybody need a trip to the hospital.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: As the police start packing up, getting in their cars
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: heading off, someone does gesture to you, yeah, hey, yeah,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I fly over. What's going on, man, I just wanted
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: to thank you for the assist before you stands a man,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: broad tall, a black man with a sharp goatee, dressed
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: in a short sleeve button up blue. Just wanted to
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: thank you for the assist. My name's Darius, names Rachel.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Get everybody home safe please. You want to know why
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: they came Rael, do I? I don't know. I think
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: it might help for you to know my nephew, Donnie's birthday.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: They heard about it, knew we'd be partying here, knew
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: we would have alcohol. The moment it turned seven, somebody
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: took a picture and they started rating. Yeah, this definitely
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: look at the picnic tables.
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: This definitely looks like appropriate use of forest from Koso's Finest.
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: I'll be around, try to keep everybody and I look
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: all around in check.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You know, when they start talking about hero
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: you're not sure whose side they'll be on.
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: I'm on New Babbel's side. New Babbel desperately needs heroes
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: right now. I like that he smiles. Where are you from?
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: Rachel smiles, says, wear a mask for a reason.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: But it was nice to meet you, all right, all right,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: we'll see you around, Rachel.
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Rachael won't leave until I'm sure that people are
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: actually dispersing, but I will like hover up, you know.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: Just.
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: Slowly looping around flating around a flight star making sure
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: no there's no parting, parting shots that everybody is actually
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: getting out of here.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Sounds good. Rachel keeps the piece. Jason, patrol, I give
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: a three three for patrol. What are you trying to do?
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Two things really?
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Thing number one patrol Page, Just keep Page safe. Watch,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: make sure that no one is going near her, no
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: one's coming after her. Watch, spend as much time as
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I can, if not in her apartment, then on top
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: of it, just keeping an eye out for her, patrolling
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: her apartment specifically and her route to work, and I'll
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: legend Yeah. Thing number two, I want to stalk Shay.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: I want to figure out I want to know where
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: he went if I can, but his comings, his going,
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: him's comings, and him's goings, where he lives. If I
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: can figure that out, what his routine is. I want
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: to just follow Shay because if I'm not watching Page,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: I need to be watching him. It's the only two
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: things I'm currently focusing on.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: So all three go into that. Yep, okay, the paper
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: phantom in your mummy fit or your cloak both yea
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: and yeah.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I'd saymummy fit underneath and spell books like Hood and cloak.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a shadowy figure is still very high sneak abilities page.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: You're able to keep track of You don't catch eyes
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: on her, nobody's following her. It seems seems like she's
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: pretty safe at least for the time being. You follow
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: her some to work, make sure everything's good in the station, Shay,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: because you're giving two to this. I'll give you a
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: little bit for free, and then I will have you
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: roll for something else. You're able to track him down.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: You're able to bust some fingers figure out where he
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: went from the site of the battle. You are now
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: relatively familiar with the flogs activity in ask and so
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: you find him. As you start to watch he is
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: mostly he seems depressed. He does a lot of sitting, pacing,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of not going out very much in the
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: beginning of this week, so relatable. Same dog. You hear
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: him at one point screaming to one of his henchmen.
• 55:16
  Speaker 11: I stabbed him right in the chest. Any man, specially
• 55:23
  Speaker 11: a boy, would have fallen to my blade. What is
• 55:28
  Speaker 11: in him? Where can I get it?
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: So you get this kind of bad vibe off of him.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: WHOA he seems chill roll an investigation check to see
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: if you can get the second part of this. This

• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: we build through different habits. And she goes on and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: on about her work. The thing that's new for you
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: because you haven't caught up with her, and sometime is
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: she says, we're working on a way to change those
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: but not slowly over time through habitual action, but manually
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: by use of small robotics and things of that nature.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: We're working on. It's new, and I'm working with a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: lot of people in the station, but it's exciting. Wow. Yeah,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't tell you about this. No. Yeah, it's really.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Really cool, like changing people's feelings, memories.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Not really mostly like a quick way to change habit
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: or addiction. Oh wow. Yeah. There's a lot of ethics
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: we're working through and I'm not sure if it'll ever
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: see the light of day, but it's it's there, so
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta try.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ethics.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: Sure, the first time you've thought about the ethical ramifications
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: of mind controlling.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Rodny things all the time.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: She's like, raise people's memories, or when she made those
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: guys just stop feeling in their whole body, and I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: mean everything she did at the church and is like, oh,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: there's there's no oversight committee on me.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Will rarely go blind.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Cool yeah, cool, yeah yeah, ethics, Yeah makes sense.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Your dad interrupts this conversation by saying, I guess what, Ronnie,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: You and moms are back. I thought you were gonna
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: say it with me. I figured that was the news.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: That's better than I could have hoped. They they have
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: told me that they are not They don't hate me anymore. Oh,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: which is as much as I can ask.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: I look around, sheepishly at my three friends who are
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: here for this intimate family.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Your dad is. He's got one of the tails of
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: his shirt is out in front. He's not all tucked in.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: He looks a little a little dishevel but he's smiling.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: His eyes are red.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: I shut out, sensing everyone's embarrassment.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Game is smiling. He gets the thumbs up. Jillian's like
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: shaking her head, like what is happening? Your mom's both
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: kind of put their hands over their faces. Yeah, I know,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: it's just stoic. Oh yeah, Dirk's there, Dir Dirk head
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: taller than everyone, head taller, just the chair beneath him
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: kind of crunching. He looks severe, his eyeb clench and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: he nods while chewing on some Davy Yes, And your
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: dad's like, yeah, it's great. Oh boy, that's that's great, dad. Yeah,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It's great. Turks like past. You
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: have this wonderful meal with your family. Nice. What are
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: you hoping to do with your unmasked time? I need
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: to spend some time with my with my family. I've
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: been neglecting them. I need to spend time at home.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: I need to spend time with my sisters. I want
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to hang out with Jason the shoot. Jamier needs to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: needs to really reconnect with the family, make them feel
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: loved and seen because I've been a wall.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: I'm also just gonna pick up a couple shifts earth
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 8: with old Joe It was Joe right, Yeah, yeah, I
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 8: don't pick up some shifts with Joey just just to
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 8: be seen working, you know, act like I have a
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 8: normal life somewhat, not just drop out of society. So
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 8: I think those would be the main two priorities for
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 8: the if I get three with my three in Unmasked Life,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 8: I would also just want to like spend some extra
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 8: time in the shoot trying to learn a little bit
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: about what the core gang is up to, and also
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 8: always any Wraith stories running around town.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great, we will go to time with your family.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: We'll say. Throughout the time, you can play with your
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: younger siblings. There's little like smaller shoot ball places that
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: don't go up, that don't switch gravity, but little places
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: that people practice half courts where you can hang out
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: with your brother, your brother Jason, even Lila, you the
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: three of you play together. Who do you want to
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: touch base with specifically Aliyah or your parents?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I want to spend a lot of time with
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 8: my parents, my mom and dad. Yeah, maybe maybe poke
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 8: about stories about Grandma, but just just make them feel
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: like I'm still around, still love them. I'm checking in.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I care your dad. So, Jamir, what is up with you?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: We're living I mean we I don't know if you're
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: hanging out on the shoot very much. We haven't seen you,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: but we are living it up here. All the fruit
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: and veggies it is, it's just keeps pouring out.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 8: No, No, I've been around. I've been around. I know
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 8: I haven't been here enough. But no, this is this
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 8: is a golden era of the shoot is dawning and
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 8: I'm here for Dad.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: We are we are living it up in the shoot. Yeah.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 8: Have the pavements had to go up with all this
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 8: extra stuff we're getting, or.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: They've gone down? Can you believe it? Literally? No, that's crazy.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: They have gone down. We don't need to pay quite
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: as much as we used to shoot. I guess the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: theory they're selling. They're selling the stuff outside of the shoots,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: so maybe that income is I guess the safeties are
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: being passed on to the people. Oh well, I mean
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: what I heard was because they don't have to buy
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: food for us anymore. That food is just being provided. Yeah,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: I don't have to pay shabras or anything else to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: get our food. Then they just don't need as much money,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: and they they were honest about that and cut the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: costs for us. It's pretty amazing.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: That is genuinely amazing. I love hearing that man proud
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: to be a shooter. Yeah.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Even I even met the Soma Prince the other day,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: shook his hand. Wait, what where that's right here? He
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: just walks through handing out stuff to people. I don't know, Jamir.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm wondering if you're even around. But yeah,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: he's trying to make sure that his mom gets good votes,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I think. But I mean, obviously, if the
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: election happens, I'm not gonna vote for some Henry who
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: lives out. I'm gonna vote for a shooter. If a
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: shooter running, you know what I mean.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 8: I mean, if a shooters on the ballot, you gotta
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, unless they're a complete psychopath, which I don't
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 8: think is the case here.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: You gotta vote for you gotta vote for the shooter,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: right right. But he's still, you know, doing his rounds,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: making sure we see him. He's being nice. He seems
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: like a good kid about your age.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I've seen the media is trying to portray him negatively,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 8: of course, but you know they're not a big, big,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 8: strong shooter press out there. Yeah, tell it, telling at
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 8: how we see it. Your mom chimes in.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: He did beat up some people try to get at
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: his mom. So well, I mean that's his job, right,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: he's security. Absolutely, he's got to beat up, absolutely, But
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: it gives them pictures, you know it gives them. It
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: gives them images that could paint him in a bad light.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's I had thought about that. Honestly, that's probably true.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 8: But I'm proud of him. You know, family business.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: I think at some point your dad goes off to
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: sleep or putting your little brother and sister to sleep,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: and your mom stays up with you. Yeah, well I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: have some late night tea. You marry you, okay, honey? What? Yeah,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I haven't been around around. I listen, I'm your mom.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I can see the bruises on you. Other people
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: can't notice. You're hiding them really well, but you know
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: it's me. Yeah, nothing gets past you.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean ever since Taylor died, things have been tough.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Different.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 8: I took up boxing. There's a gym in Colorado, South.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 8: I've been going to just cities, getting crazy, and I'm
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 8: delivering all around. So yeah, I guess sometimes fighting things
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 8: get a little out of hand. But I'm okay, and
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 8: I'm getting stronger and I feel more confident taking care
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 8: of myself in the city.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and make a lie check jamrr rh roh.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 8: The Mighty d four swings again.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: One.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think you can win because even if
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: Johnny ties you cry rolled to six, I'll be you
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: by five.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: That's not good. Your mom nods and smiles. Okay, as
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: long as you're safe, safe as any of us are.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: I love you and just checking in on you. And
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: hey you thank you. Talk to me when you when
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: you when you need to you talk to me of course. Mom.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: All right, I need a cigarette. Hey, you try to
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: cut back it all yet what you know you're trying
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: to take care of me.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 8: Maybe maybe you know trying to smoke a few less.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: I'll start smoking a few less when you tell me
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: what you're doing it. We cant smoke about. Have a
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: good night, Jimmy, and she goes down for a smoke.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: You get a couple of shifts from Joey. He keeps
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: you on payroll. The other thing was.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 8: What just cruising the shoot again, trying to see what
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 8: the core gangs up to these days, and trying to
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 8: always ask around about any wraiths, recent wraith stories.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: For this Jumior make make an investigation check. Okay, three,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: this is the challenging check. I'm rolling a D ten,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: rolled to six. Here's what you gather. There's some stuff
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: just because you gave it the number you gather. The
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: core gang seems upset that they had to engage with
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: the flog so aggressively. Sure, they are doing everything they
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: can to produce and to give, to share and to
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: spread the wealth. You also run into as you're walking
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: up and down the shoot, you run into Gabby. Who
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: you know? I think it's the lady with a sign
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: that says the new Gods are coming. She lives under
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: a lean to with the curve is the curve of
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: the shoot is on the outside is Hey, new gods
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: are coming, New gods are coming. He's shouting and screaming.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: As you walk by.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 8: I paused, and I say, any updates on these new gods.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: As you look at her and say that, her eyes
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: go white, pupils and iris is gone. Her voice changes,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: It grows deeper, broader, ethereal, and she says to you
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: in a voice not her own.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 11: Cursed one, seek the spell of communion with the Lady
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 11: of Light.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: She comes out of it. New gods. Hey, it was
