  Speaker 1: You're listening to a lily Pad production.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: This is the Team Up Play Show podcast. Hello everyone,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it's Johnny here with the whole squad. Say hi everyone,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: by Hi everyone. That's enough. Yeah, just a little announcement here, y'all.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We are officially coming out of our beta of Team Up,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the game that we've created to tell these stories.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah that deserves applause.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no it does. The buttons have now made it
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: into the real show. So that's that's why I was
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: saying fuck, but no, it's exciting because of that. We
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: are mostly changing the names of certain rules, and we
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: wanted to go over those with you so that as
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we continue playing and as we stumble over the old
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: old sayings.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And yeah we will oh yeah we oh, we're gonna sture,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: mistakes will be made.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: We just wanted you to know what is truth, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: as you purchase the book for yourself, you'll see the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: new rules, which we will do our best to adhere to.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: If you've heard of saying power pips, those are bonuses
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that you can give to roles, normally attack and defense roles.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: We are changing those two power points. I know that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: sounds like the power points that you used to give
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: in school.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But it is that Microsoft power points. Yes, I like
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: power points a lot. YEA, it makes sense.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It makes a lot more sense than power pips. Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: as long as it's PP, it's good to me. The
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: next one is power attributes. Those are there are modes
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of attack that you give to attack actions. They let
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you do special things. They're kind of like our spells
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and team up.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Do you mean mods?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: No?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Oh cool? Bye bye.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Number one achieve God damn it perfect. This is such
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a perfect this is sure information. We're ruining it. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a long thing. We're changing power attributes to attack amplifiers.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: It makes a lot more sense because they only go
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to attacks, so attack amplifiers and we're going to shorten
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that as amps.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So that's a lot more PP. Pretty fun.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, amps. When you go to AA sometimes you take
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a PP, you know what I mean. I'm just ready
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to get amped. The next thing we're changing is max energy.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So when you give your powers EPs or energy points
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: they gain. We were calling it a max energy and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that kind of dictated your stats for that power. We're
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: changing that to your energy level for the power, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: then EPs will still be the thing that you spend.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So the energy level will determine your stats and then
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you spend EPs. We kind of wanted to make that
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: delineation clearer. And then the last thing we've changed is
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that we're going to get rid of the swift skill.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: We found that as we've been playing, we've been putting
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: most skill checks that need speed just calling for ready checks.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So we're just going to put everything into Ready so
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that will be simpler. And that takes us down to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: twelve skills, which is a much nicer number than thirteen.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: For some reason, even sit out of it, which means
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you'll lose Taylor Swift, which means you'll lose one. We're
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: getting rid of thirteen and the Swift roll.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Whoa, so sorry Swifties.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're coming out pretty strong against this role.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: WHOA wow, good connection team.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Wow Wow, Spider Man. Some of these jokes are from
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: our post show the chat Cave. They don't need to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: know that, yes, sure they do. Just enjoy that, we say,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Spider Man when we're rabbling. We're changing all of swift
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: rolls into Ready, so everything's getting funneled into Ready. So
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that's it. Please enjoy the episode, which we're finally getting to.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Bye Bye previously in the City of Bones, doctor Moreau.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: He says, I've heard of you, Oh, Phantom, isn't it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: paper Phantom? I had a client screaming you your name.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: They came to me for power to defeat you, give
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: me the name Moreau. Shay. He wanted the power overflame,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and I tried, but it didn't work. Phantom.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Something works, though, I suppose.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He turned into sort of a slug
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: on fire, the pot in your hands vibrating and then erupting.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: From the spout of the pot emerges a shimmering image
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of a man. Why are you here? Well, that's what
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I'm getting to I gotta try this again, all right,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I gotta I'm gonna get it right this time, all right. No,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to save my soul, the riddle be to grant a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: mortal honest wishes. Three. You're like a jim You grant wishes? Yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: but really we're starfuls Okay?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna twist my words to make whatever wish
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I say come back to hurt me?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Is that your game? Ah? No? No, See, That's why
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I'm in this pot is because I did that a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: few times and I got in trouble. Trouble with who
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: oh boy, there is a woman standing there, gold and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: robes and hair, golden circlet. Hella, Hi, Rachel's still dance.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You may stop dancing. Cursed one, So I'm cursed? I am?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Where are you from? I and my people? Orbitch Jupiter?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Are you the starfolk? We are not, but we are
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in service to the Lady of Light Passaran in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: High Place at Orah, and we do. She look like
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a human. She can take a human form, but her
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: true form is unbearable to our eyes because she's a star.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: She is one of the first starfolk. Guess When the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Lords of Starfire were forced to this plane, their enemies
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: were brought here with them. In their benevolence, the Bright
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Lords did not create your world with execution, and instead
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: bound their enemies to earth and objects. Those bound, instead
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of bless, will at times curse those who find these objects.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: The severe woman from the mayor's office enters, jimr It's okay, buddy,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it's okay. We're gonna be okay. At that, three gunshots
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: into Taylor's chest. The mayor's assistant goes in and out.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Often it's dusk. You're following her at a distance, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: she's headed towards what you assume and have gathered as
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: likely her home.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: At this Rigel is going to sideways flip twist off
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the top of the building, land in front of her
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: with the ground pound punching in the alley and breaking
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the concrete.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: She steps back as you do so I saw you
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in the papers. Be careful, boy, I'm clever. I've heard
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, and I remember everyone and why
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I can put pieces together. Give me enough time or
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: have the balls to kill me. Page gets to where
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: it's going to hit and shoulders someone out of the way.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: You'd an action for Jill, but not Paige. The sphere
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: smashes onto Page and onto the ground. This isn't good.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what she'll be like if and when
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: she wakes, but she's going to be out for quite
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: some time, and she'll does she have her memories? Like
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I said, I don't know. With this kind of injury,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: there's no telling who will wake up. I think you

  Speaker 2: How do you go about doing that? Jamir?

  Speaker 1: kicks off the boots the cape, muttering to himself, we.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Gladly doing this kind of dumb stuff. This is amateur.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And I stop up up the multiple stairs to my sanctum,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: my grandmother's old study. When I get to the door,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I open it and I don't light any candles. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: don't turn any switches. Instead, I just send out small
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: flight stars around the room that twinkle, and I think add.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Some helpful aura to this time.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I place one flight star about two feet off the ground,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a large one.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I sit on it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Once I have the pot in my hand, and I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: take a moment just to center myself. Clutching this smooth
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: object that started this crazy journey. I try to sense
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: if there's darkness in it. I try to sense if
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it somehow put darkness in me, if I really am cursed?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Well, spirit check, Jamir. All right, one, you can add
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: your flight stars or your magic blast here whever you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: feel like you're connecting with interesting.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna go flight stars. It's not the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: best dice, but it's it's the one I'm using. It's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a second one, so I'm up to two numbers.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Even go that high.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, Now you're in for it, Johnny, a little
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: higher than a two? Can't it have all these tidy
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: stars hovering around, tweakling around me. I'm sitting on this
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: worrid disc of blue star below me. SAME's failure is beautiful.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: This is a difficult check. I'm rolling a D twelve.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We with these, We with these ruled a seven?

• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you fail by five? Okay for the first time, Jamir,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: since you got your powers. You feel movement in the

• 15:14
  Speaker 2: in the clay start to fly their wings, moving The
• 15:18

  Speaker 1: I was told that you cursed me. That's what I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: was told. It's by credible sources. Who who credible? Some starfolk, oh,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: servants of starfolk to be technical.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they would know, they would know. They seem
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to have knowledge.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And I actually got to meet one of your enemies,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: potential enemies.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know. I'm trying not to be
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: their enemy, right, that's sure, that's the goal, It's yes,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: But I don't know why I'm talking to you. Something

  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not, If I'm honest, I haven't really
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: been working on becoming any sort of magician, but I

  Speaker 2: start to feel some energy given to you by this starfolk,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: pure star energy, pure power from the heavens. Your your
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: flight stars begin to take some of the shape and
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the movement of the spell you had cast before to
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: summon down Elethea, oh, the spell of the cursed. We're

  Speaker 1: Yeah, j Jamir's hands are glowing and they're kind of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: rotating through the different kinds of energy he can summon.

  Speaker 1: And then I focus and I use my newfound ability
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to choose my magic to just summon my to just
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: focus on my pure magical energy.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: A beam of white light, as you've seen before, bursts

  Speaker 2: into this room, and before you stands Alethia again, less
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: ethereal than before, more material. Okay. The beam of light
• 19:55

  Speaker 1: I wanted to inquire, if I may, about the curse
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that this I hold up the pot is Jin? Hey
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: put on me.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't mean I wasn't trying to do a curse,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: He claims innocence. As you can hear, it is interesting
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that you've shown the magic to call me here again?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Is it for I? It is before I was coming
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to see you.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe we kind of you know, met halfway or
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: something magically speaking.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Perhaps it is hard sometimes to believe in coincidence. The
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: stars move, move together, end a line to be here?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Is what do the kids call it?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: When you're like try to like puff your jaw out
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to like look look more, straw man, I am not
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the person to ask what the kids are saying. You know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the kids like make don't ye perfect? Starting from ear
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to ear? Were chid maxing slightly, just like trying to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: try to extra extra tough in front of Alathea.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: My lady, the Lady of Light pesser ann as a
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: proposal for you, one that could free you from your curse.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Rigel Star Wheelder free. Oh. I like the sound of that, Hey,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: free you from your curse, buddy, But just the jin's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: head is popping out of the pot, I like tap
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: on it, like wait, but does that mean I would lose.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: The abilities for my wishes.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: More is offered to you, ry Jel.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: What more is?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: The New Gods seek to have avatars walk this world
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: once again. They believe they have spent too long in exile.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Though she is hesitant to get involved, she has chosen
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you as candidate. Me.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, I'm honored.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Of course. She has great power well beyond this. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: she gestures to the Gin, a lesser enemy of the starfolk.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, I asked, I asked the Git is she is?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: She right? Yeah? For sure? I mean I didn't know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, fuck Pesseran. Yeah, no, thank you, Get me
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: out of there. Alethia nods and just says, if you
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: were to accept Rachel, your bond with this creature would
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: be broken and their cycle would be able to begin. Anew, Hey,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: that's not so bad. That's not so bad. I could
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: try again. Yeah I could. I try again. I'm mucked
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: up with you a little, So you just go back
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: here there for hundreds of year's door of it. No, No,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I think she's saying that I get to start at
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the beginning, like start fresh. Yes, so the pot would
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: be relocated on your earth and waiting for one to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: find it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, without a cool down time, exactly.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, cool downtime like grenades and halo. Yeah, go halo there, guy. Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: they set me up real nice in there. I look
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: at her like I need no disrespect, truly, but it
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: is a little intimidating to swear to a master I've
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: never met. But I guess with this guy, I got
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: help from a Jed I had known for a couple
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of minutes, so maybe I've not wanted to talk. There
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: is a story that may help of all ears. Long ago,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: in the history of your world, the lady Pesseran walked
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: among you and built for the people a city magnificent
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and wondrous, a city made of pure gold. But other
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: men lusted after her city and swore to defeat her
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: people and take what was not theirs. She slew them
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: all whoa with their own disease and weapons. She saved us,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and then she moved to the city to Jupiter and
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: put it in orbit around its moon so that we
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: would be safe.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait, so you're telling me
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you live in El Dorado.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: M.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: The Magnificent.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: It is known in legend as El Dorado. Yes, it
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: is our El Dora City of Gold.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Is it like Auto mood or just like a little
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: city on a rock, kind of flat Earth style floating
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: around Jupiter.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about this last time. It has its
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: own rock floating around Jupiter.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Flat earth, flat eye stope, flatter, fascinating.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Jamier Butter is a kid. You do look at her,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: and you see now that beyond the gold of her
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: skin and her hair, her facial features do look indigenous
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Central American. So when did have you been with your
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: lady this whole time? I am of the second generation.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: We have learned to live long, but not forever.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: That is a very very long time. Yes, I'm I
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: look down at the pot, I look at her. I'm humbled.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm honestly kind of young, even for one
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of my people that I'm here with you, two ancient
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: beings of very maturity.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I glance at the butt.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: But uh, I mean if he gets to, if he
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: gets a clean start and I get maybe some of
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the upsides without the down sides still can help people here,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I think, Amid, then tell me, Rachel Wielder of Starfire,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: what would you have of her? She will free you
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: from your curse, but also can allow new power to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: be yours who whoa, whoa like a fourth wish. You're
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: saying like a fourth level.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm mmmmmm, if that's how you would like to
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: think of it. Yes, I looked out at the pot. Wow.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Well, when all this started, I was a little naive.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I guess with my wishes, I want to be more
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: careful now a jet ski I set the pot decks
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to me, I get off my for my ideally position
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that I stand up and I say, I want the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: power to save this city, and I want to be
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: able to save my friends, no matter the cost.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Thunder rumbles in your gut, jamr, there is for a
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: time nothing. You are dead, You are life. You are
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: made totally and fully blank. The room then rips in half,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and you awake in the stars, naked and floating beyond
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the world. An ancient and all consuming eldritch god floats
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: before you. She is beautifully scaled like a fish, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: her flowing garments move as fins in great cosmic waters.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I forget my nakedness in her presence.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: She reaches down with finger and thin. The nail on
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: her finger, you realize, is larger than you are. She
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: touches you so specifically and gently, despite her size. You
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: remember your nakedness. You are her and she is you.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: She is within you and within her you have been
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: made anew Jamir. You come back into the room changed
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: avatar of the Lady of Light, the creator and savior
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: of El Dorado, and you can level up. All right,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: that's a.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Work to do, more like l Fourado. Am I right?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: You're right?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: You are correct? Yes, it turns out you're right. Way,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You're right, You're right? Do I look different? Do I
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: feel different? Do you have a small armadillo companion?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Do you have gils?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Jamir? I'll let you in this moment. Is there anything
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: different about you?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I think, star? We we wedmir rises first. I just
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: quickly body checked see if I'm hard, but I'm not,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: which is good. I opened my eyes and they're glowing
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: bright gold. I opened my stars and there's there's little
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: gold flecks I see in my spinning blue stars. I
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: dismissed them all and I look to Alathea and say,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I guess we both have the same boss, though.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: It seems so. You look down too, and see on
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the gloves of your forearms there are two fish curving
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: in different ways. One of them there the head pointed
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: towards you. The other head pointed away. Pisces.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, I did classic Pisces thing to do, nodding, nodding understandingly.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Alethea picks up the pot, moves her hands, and it disappears.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I see it, well, thank you, and she nods. Before
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: you asked me if you would see me again, Rachel,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and I said that it was unlikely, and so I
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: will not say it again, but goodbye.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of unlikely things would happen around here as
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of late. I just shoot a tidy little star over
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the twinkle right next to her.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: She glances over at it, smiles, and beams back up
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: to heaven. Oh I'm halfway there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I look up at the heavens out my window of
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: my grandma study. I not I look at all of
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: her books, all the research she'd pour tried to crack.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Into these things. We did it, Grady, We did it.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Quanta and Jason, you guys wanted to hunt down the
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: foyer slug.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going on a slug hunt.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Slug hunt. Slug hunt, slug hunt, slug hunt.

  Speaker 1: Think, I mean, yeah, did you get a haircut?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: No, Jason, I did it.

  Speaker 1: I sounds crazy, but for the second time I was
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: able to commune with the heavenly people.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Well you two weren't there.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Oh we're always missing the star people.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we were just loading our pockets with salt.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were free. I look at the I look
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: at the empty board in salt on the counter.
• 34:49

  Speaker 4: picked up some melows.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, oh I forgot. I forgot that was there.

  Speaker 2: And how are you going about hunting for a foyer slug?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Which is a very vague description of what you're looking for.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: It could be a foyer caterpillar.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jackie, yeah you got heat vision? Yeah you want
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: me to come? Yeah?
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Can you do like a you use your heads up

• 35:32
  Speaker 6: That what HUD stands for. Ye yes, oh what room
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: we got for salt in that hood salt? I could
• 35:41

• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's like little compartments in the legs of these.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: So we're going we're going all in on playing throw
• 35:49

• 35:51
  Speaker 1: like it's worth Yeah, what's wrong with that. I'm just
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just making sure we're on the same page. It's
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: nice to have a plan.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm to do have a plan. Salt up. Everyone
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: forget we're gonna commit some assault. Nice.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a long sequence of us pouring salted.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Making a little salt bond hoods Yeah, Margaritas briefly.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Quanta roll a sense checkat plus your scan and then
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Jackie's going to help this check with her hood perfect. Cool.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: You start stuck in the tubes.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: What did you think hoods diod for happen? Happen?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Man, Hello, you're doing.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: This is a check. I'm rolling a detail. I rolled
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: a four thirteen. Jackie rolled a four.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: So you guys critically succeed. You start in the tunnels
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: for some reason, it's hard to find a trail. You
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: don't pick up any ash, slime or anything. But then Quantu,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: you've felt it before. But all the energy comes into
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: the city underground in these large cables. There is a
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: p the power of the city. There is a pinpoint
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: underneath downtown that is a transformer station where it turns
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: from moving energy to distributable energy to the people because
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: it comes in too big to go into people's sockets.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think I know where I want to go, guys.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: As you get closer and as you all move there,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: everwing flies above the downtown area and sees, oh, yeah,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing some huge down there, something so like giving
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: off so much heat. Quantu. You sends it too, something
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: sucking the energy.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: That's for me, I mean that's for the city.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: You Okay, what's up? Just seems like you're fixated a
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: little bit on that energy part.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: I mean it's nice, right, Okay, I'll move your way
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: down underneath the city into the substation.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: It is a series of large power transformers and insulators.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Science science, oh, science, look all science.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Sign But there is a lot of heat and energy
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: coming from these enormous power lines that feed into the
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: transformers the.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Heart of it all.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: And then you see the thing you hadn't felt before,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: but attached to the distribution lines is an interesting site.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: It is an ovular stone. Huge. It's connected to several
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: of the incoming lines. It is thirty feet tall and
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: egg shaped. Oh it is stone looking, but it has
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: veins of red magma running through it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, it looks like a fire crystal? Is am I crazy?
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: But slugs don't turn into crystal. Doesn't make any sense?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, slugs don't.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone knows that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's ridiculous.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Well, anyway we can go.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe the slug laded egg he is even crazy?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Big? Did we think about that? Well?
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I guess there's only one way to find out. I
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: make a big paper megaphone.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Hello, anyone in there?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Hi?

  Speaker 2: We are watching, and the priest says it bears the
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: evil of doctor Moreau, but it is unlike anything he's
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: made before. Ooh, it sounds.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Sluglike, sounds like we found him.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: It's a good thing. We brought a bunch of fucking salt.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: See what happens.
• 40:45

  Speaker 2: Have you guys messed with this thing at all? Or
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: it's just been you've just been watching it. Decay has
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: inspected it.

  Speaker 1: Our prophesied pleasure.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: We're really glad to hear it.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, I can see what I can sense inside this thing.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: It is connected to the grid. I drool a little bit.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Whoa you want to do that?
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah? I want to do it? Okay, let me
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Be careful, I'll put my hand on like just like
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: the closest what's the word I'm looking for, conduit conduit
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: or just like the clos system. Yeah, U nubbin electric
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: out to the closest electric nubbin and send my sense
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: through that into the boire egg.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: See what I can see in there?
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead and roll a sense check. This is
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: a challenging check. So I'm lying a D ten and
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: I can't beat you, but we'll see how much you
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: beat me by. I rolled a one.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's a short top one top one. It's a
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: short top one.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: You beat me by ten, which is a critical success,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: critical quanta. You sense that this thing inside of this
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: stone has some humanity left to it. It has this
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: the pathways that you're used to that dictate some brain
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: function and movement, and it has made itself a part
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: of the system, meaning that if you take it off,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: probably at least a fourth maybe more of the city
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: would lose hour.
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: Oh uh okay, this thing down you guys like my
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: dad would tell me about, like when folks would get cancer,
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: sometimes a tumor grows in such a way that it's
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: it would really be hard to get out without damaging
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: someone's body, damaging the normal processes that I could do.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Those things a tumor on the city.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: We can't risk shutting down the whole grid is with
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: the election coming up.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: No, definitely not.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: But someone I'm assuming shum One. No, No, I was
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: mixing someone with Shay and I nailed.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: It correct, Thank you.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Su One is still in there, but doesn't seem like
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: will be for long, similar to perhaps King Decay.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Well, you guys are watching it right, child of the
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: of the tubes. We watch it. Yes, can you keep
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: us abreast of the situation. We will watch it change
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: and go and grow Night's thrice and we will let
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: you know if anything happens. But we are not warriors.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: There is no telling if we will be able to
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: stop it.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Do you have one of Do you have one of
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the Phantom's cards?
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Lucy reaches up to you, Quanta and touches your head.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a word for you. Oh, I kneel hesitively.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Priest says there is still much room in you, and
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: then she glances up towards the power lines and towards
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: the thing eating off of it realm for more.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: Whoa hell?
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so should I just plug in right now?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Or maybe if you redirected power away from this? And
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: is this safe? Yeah?
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: You know, you know I was.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I've plugged into this before, just you know, had a distance,
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: so I started like cracking my knuckles and rolling my shoulders.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess we can try it again, as long
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: as we don't leave the city in some sort of
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: rolling blackout situation. Right right?
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Wait?
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait right? Yeah?
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: How close are we now to the like votes being
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: like the vote being ended and being tallied days?
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: I mean you know most people vote early, right, uh?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Like, I guess I can always go back to paper ballots.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure the council will get right on that
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: and three days.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, room there's more room than me, all right.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Either I try to reroute around the around the stone
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: and then too me, or maybe I have so much
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: I let the stone feed off of me for a
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: little bit to distract it enough for you guys to
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: cut it down. Oh I think I like the latter,
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: now that I've said.
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: It out loud, all dangerous, but yeah, we win these
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: all right, I'm gonna, yeah, I'm just gonna. I'm just
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: gonna try to, you know, produce the same amount of
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: power as this whole tri state city.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: It's fine, it's fine.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna start, uh well, I'm gonna lightning web up
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: to the top, like above the stone, to a nubbin
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: up there, like the closest nubbin before its attachments. Sounds good, Okay,
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: signal is go whatever I feel like it's happening, okay,
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: or maybe you'll just maybe you'll.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Just know, we'll be ready to cut the power and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: gradual and we also have the salt if we you know,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: if things get sluggy, right, Okay, there goes.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: We got this.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: I try to reach my hand into like a spot
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: where it's connected to a nubbin and can't quite get
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: in there, and so then I just like slowly start
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: like snaking my lightning with like a scalpel best I can,
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: like between a nubbin and the stone. You know, once
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I feel a connection, just start pouring as much electrical
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: energy as I can from me to the stone rather
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: than from the city.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: It's right at the connectivity point where the energy coming
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: from the source moves into a transformer to be distributed
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: to the city. The amount of an energy coming in
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: is vast.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's there's there's a revenue, there's rubbed me, there's
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: ruben me.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: You pull this energy into yourself and send it into
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: the transformer so that it can be distributed trying to
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: bypass the foyer slug.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, and then I want it to.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: I and then I want to be like a battery
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: big enough to distract from the city the city's power.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Roll a coast check, hey, right, or a or a
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: knowledge check to get the energy to do what you want.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my sweet GD given me those two choices.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: This is an epic check. I'm rolling a D twenty.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: All right with Cathol electricity. Yes, D twenty six thirteen.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Thirteen rolled along top one, top one otherwise otherwise otherwise
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: known as the Seven Boys. You see Quanta reach her
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: whip into the connect, the connection where this foyer slug
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: egg or whatever the fuck it is is eating off
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: of the city. You then see her fully become a
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: ball of plaster.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Quatah, you in there?
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: What are you two doing?
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to cut the power right? Oh yeah, let's go.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: I think you're supposed to knock the egg down. That's
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: what Quanta said, Okay, I cut the connection between the.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Egg and the let's he let's cut off the tuber.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Rigel's gonna shoot a big old magic blast
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: at this egg near its connection to the cords. Giant
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: playing cards form in my hands. I throw them close up,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: magic style.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, Richel, roll a might check plus your magic blast, Phantom.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: You can help with your paper manipulation, and my magic blasts.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Are now a detailed Ooh, I got eighteen on that.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Oh damn, damn, I'm gonna add four beat that four
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: beat that ged twenty two.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: As the both of you attack this stone, you sense
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: its durability. Rigel, you said you're magic blasting it. Yep,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: this is the most dense and tough thing that you
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: have ever sent a magic blast upon this suckers, and
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: same with your playing cards. But the two of you
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: together roll enormous.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: But this is a godly m four we wear these, yeah,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: and we both help equally.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is fun. I rolled a short top one
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: and a long top one, which for you maths out there,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: that's eight for you math and philosophers.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Short one long.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: But that does take an energy from both of those powers.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: But the two of you knock this stone off and
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: it falls and hits the ground unbreaking. Quanta. You are
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: a ball of plasma. You you your colors start to shift.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: You're not just blue plasma. You change with your understanding
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: of electrical signals. Is there anything you want to do
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: in this moment?
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the magic Baby said, there's room in me, and
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: I know there. Slug, the foire Schlug was feeding off
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: the city without shutting it down yet and where now
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: we've cut it off and the city's gonna keep going.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: So I'm just gonna like the last bits that were
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: like going into the fire.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Slug, I want to like redirect.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: Into me and I wanna take a little bit from
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: the city without without causing rolling power outages.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Quanta. You enter this power line as a ball of plasma.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: You see before you now ability to go anywhere within it.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: It's almost as though you can see every power line
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: that's attached throughout the United States. You can see a
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: map of it. It's huge, kind of like you can
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: see the map of the body. You can see a
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: map of the country of the continent. Oh my gosh.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: And you think if I take a little bit, it's
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: nothing compared to what's available.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no one would know because there's so much here.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: The two of you, see, Quanta, she was a ball
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: of plasma. She went into the lines and now zapping
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: different colors of lightning is pieced together. Her body first
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: and then her head, her hands, and her feet remain plasma.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: But look like Quanta for a time. You're good. Up,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: there is this part.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Of the plan.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad. Should we be concerned?
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at Pep and I'm like, let's uh,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: let's be supportive.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, you mean enabling.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: There's so much and I'm just taking a little bit.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. And Quanta you can level up.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Think about how many tombs you can dish out.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: Now this city is, this city is about to get
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: get a whole new gut biome.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: You are able to come down, Quanta, but you have
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: this new strange ability to just exist as plasma, not
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: just turn into it. And Lucy says, more room.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the tip.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Priest said she could sense it. Cool. She kind of shrugs.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: What are we going to do about this?
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Point over to the giant pulsating stone that's been severed
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: from the power.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Grid, Lucy Spider crawls over to it. What the fuck God?
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: She knocks on it. The veins of fire are still lit,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: but they are pulsing now and not just right, and
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: she says it still lives.
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: Within magma meet plasma. Hold up my hands. Should we
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: just try to crack it open?
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Just blast it? Blasts and salt, salt and blast. But no, no, no, no,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I think this rocky exterior. I think we should blast
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: dead salt, dead salts.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can make a funnel, perfect, perfect, The three
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: of you blast it with everything you have. Jackie as well,
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: shoots her her beam out of her ever heart at it,
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: and it is it's not budging, it is not cracking. Shoot.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Should we move it?
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: Well, that's humbling. After you know saw God, I also
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: saw a divide be and iboved. I can't crack this thing.
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: We will watch it, King Decay, you will know what
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: to do if it opened. Should we roll it towards
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: you guys? I don't want to leave it here, but
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: I also wouldn't want to leave a fire bomb where
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: you guys live with all your beautiful plants.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Good boy.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Also, Rigel, you couldn't push it all the way there, Oh,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: got them what Once we start rolling, you know my strength,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I'll be what it is. It'll also have its own abda.
• 57:19
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: I looked at the child for validation. It's not any
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: not any big bodies of water. We could dump it
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: into landlocked. All the fountains are pretty shallow.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess there's nothing to do, but wait.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: At least it's off the off the grid literally literally.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you again, Nights Thrice for helping the city, and
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: thank you Squire. Jackie puts up her every wing hand.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Lucian. I'm glad you showed up. I look
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: at my hands that are still kind of glowing. I
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: love to see you, but we hate to watch you move.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: So true, that's funny. Oh God. Spider scurries away back
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: to Wait. Did you guys find the rhinozar?
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Damn, I've been curious.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: About that guy. I got to start a newsletter keep
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: up to date with everyone.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea. I got to go back
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: to the hospital. I'm just staying there and watching page.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: She's in a coma, right, I'm so sorry. I forgot
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: with everything. I'm sorry. It's okay, yeah, genuinely, man, that's terrible. Hey,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: you know, Ronnie, if you paper and furls, you wouldn't
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: mind taking a look at her, would you? She got
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: hit with like a big energy blast. Yeah.
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: I was actually just about to offer, and I didn't
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: know if that would be cool, so so cool.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be happy to. I think I'm an meet
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: you there though.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: I look over at the transformer, see if I can
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: get there another way.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Hey you're you're good though, dude me? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: you're good.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all good. Everyone's good. Glad to hear we're
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: all good and not addicted to newfound power? Right right?
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Two more things than to wrap up in downtime. Jamiir
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: has one more thing he wants to do, and I
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: think going to the hospital checking on page can wrap
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: it up with you guys, you wanted to find Taylor's
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: kill her and have another chat? Just check it old llyway.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: You stalked her before, pretty well following her movements. You
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: know where she lives. I don't think it would be
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: hard for Jamir to find her again. Yeah. Oh wait
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: till late one night and.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Just said to a few stars whizzing past her window, she.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Pokes her head out, Hello, is now a bad time.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: You see a smile curl on her lips. You shouldn't
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: have come back. I think with your voice.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I'm putting it together, putting a lot of things together
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: these days. We get my friends. Well, you're a city,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and your control of it just seems to be falling apart.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: You think this ends.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: I know how this is. Then tell me. Tell me
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: how it ends.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: It ends with you, the evil med you're helping, he
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: said in a jail to rot in this city picking
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: new leadership. It had triggered new age with new heroes.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: An audio recording of me committing murder in front of
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: a police chief just got out to the public. And
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: yet here I am.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: Jamiir Javer tries to do flinch when he hears his name.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: M I hovered over to her. I looked down, and
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: when I look up, my eyes are pure gold. My
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 9: name is Rigel, and you are safe nowhere. This will
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: end poorly for you. I recommend you turned yourself in
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 9: now you think I'll stay in jail even if it
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 9: all goes to shit and Mayor Stephenson loses his place.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: I'll get out. I'll find Taylor's parents, I'll find that
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: little Jackie Garcia of yours.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Your ears, trying to not treble. I look at her
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: and say, turn yourself.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: In. She looks back at you, in awe of your
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: power and says, kill me.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Javier's hands bird with starfire. I don't know. Should I
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: roll for the I'm I'm I don't know. This is
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: tough to break character for a second. Ben is like, yeah,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: what what does Jamir do here?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to let the dice have a
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: part of us say in this what what are we thinking?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Or do you not want?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: Do you want to be.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Sorry? I don't need a gd your your your goddamn gabe.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Let's have the dice. Let's have the dice decide we can. Yeah,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: let's let's let's keep moving and all and I'll give
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: you a roll for sure. Sorry, Sorry, I just don't
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: be sorry. Feeling nothing to a positive I'm feeling, mister Krebs, Jamiir,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: you just had an encounter with an eldritch god, ancient
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: beyond your understanding, and you were told a story, a
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: story of a woman who created a city she loved
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: so much that when it was threatened, she moved to violence.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: And killed the conquistadors that lusted after what was hers
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: and that threatened those whom she loved. The in your
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: head that if a god could know when to kill,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: when to take life, and I am now her avatar,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: perhaps there is a right time. Roll a guts check, Jamir.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Do you think that a success would mean you don't
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: take her life? Or that a success would mean that
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: you do. I think for Jamir, a success would be
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: he chooses not to kill. Add your strength to this
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: guts roll. This is a difficult check. I'm rolling a
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: D twelve full disclosure.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I'm rolling a D six in a D eight right,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: and I got a thirteen.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, I rolled a four, which is three ones
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: all crossed up.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: You're so right wow. I'm sorry.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Jamir quivering.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: Starfire burning looks at her and says, you would like that?
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: What did you?
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: And I raised my hand toward her temple, and instead
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I twist and I shoot my magic blast into her
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: car parked in front of her place.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: And it explodes and Jamir flies off into the night
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: with an explosion behind.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Oh I just paid off, and Jamir is flying straight
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: to the chute.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, Oh bye, and Quanta and the paper fandom.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: You guys want to go see Page. Yes, yeah, Pages
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: in the hospital that is in the last space barge
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: on Earth. Big, beautiful and firm, meant for the pilgrims
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: that were to go off to space. Page lies here, Ronnie.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: This is the first time you've seen her since her accident.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: She's looking beautiful as ever, with stark white hair that
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: has curled through her braids.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: You weren't kidding, it's it's all white.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: She got hit by I think a morphogenetic field generator
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: explosion and crushed slightly.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Can I tell you something anything? I think it
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: makes me a bad person, But part of me when
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: I heard she was in a coma, was relieved. Yeah.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: I fucked this up, real by d real, real bid
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: I'd done?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: Did? I'm so stupid? So what happened?
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: Well, my whole deal with the Paper Phantom and Arthur
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: is that I can't let Page know that I'm the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: Paper Phantom.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: And she kissed me and it was awesome for like
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: a second, and then I got reminded that if she
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: finds out, which she would find out, then I'd lose
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: powers and then she would hate me too, because she
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: hates the paper phantom. So she took me to her
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: job and it was just so awkward, and she hates
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: me now and I don't know her memories back or
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: what's going on in there?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: And I just.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Why does she hate you?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: You because I told her I'm not interested.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: I point telling her in this woman right here. Yes,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: I told her, yes, yes, stop looking at me like that.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know it's because I needed to push her
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: away for plot purposes.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Not want to do it.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 10: Oh no, I Jason, yeah, Jacon, So I don't know

• 1:09:27
  Speaker 10: she remembers at least, if not what's going on in there.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: I'll see what I can do. But if I can
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: wake her up, I gotta wake her up. I'm sorry.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: I'm done with choosing for other people that kind of thing.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, right, you gotta do Yeah, No, it's you're right,

• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: You know, friend of friend, I don't know if you
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: should blame Arthur or Plot for getting in the way
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: of your own happiness. Damn, I think somebody else is
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: in the way of your own happiness, mister crinkles, Yep,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: definitely the cat.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: I put my hands on a page's.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Temple, roll a knowledge check plus your scan Quanta right,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: this is an epic check. I'm rolling a D twenty
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: I was tempted, but I did not increase my I
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: got to look it up energy level for scan. So
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: it's still a D six when I leveled it up.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: So I'm rolling. I'm rolling two D six? Is I
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: could try and help? I guess I should try try
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: and do it. How are you helping, Jason y'all? Uh?
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Again?
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Try and put some some of the venium laced paper
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: that I have as like almost.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: E e g.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: Like certain points on the temples to conduct power produce
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: what's the word I insulate other places and channel electricity
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: to her brain instead of other spots.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: I forget And I think you've ruled on this before.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: But can I can only use always helpful for allies.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: I can't use it for myself, or I can use
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: always helpful to give myself support.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: What's the language of it? We need to I think
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: that's what we looked up last time. Oh, by the way,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: to fix last episode is the shoot serpents. Oh the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: sorry listeners if you were yelling at us from last episode,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: ye we forgot stumble goddamn.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: All right, here's the language for always Helpful. You may
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: use power pips from your support pools power power points.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: You may use power points from your support pools to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: aid in the skill of empowered checks of an ally
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: as long as the check aligns with your power and
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: passes the GDS discretion.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: But then support pool I should be able to use
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: just for myself in general.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: It's just that this.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Support pool only goes to attack and defense. Okay, so
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: I can only use it for healing, buffing healing. So
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: always Helpful allows you to help with an allies empowered check. Yeah.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: If I was doing the main check here, you could have.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, got it, but I can help. Yay, all right,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: I have eight?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: I got seven?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Nice, very good.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: That's fifteen. Yeah, I wrote to nineteen.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: You roll so good. Shit.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: You put nodes on Page's head, Quanta, You dive in,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: here's what you find, and you do not trust your
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: knowledge and your ability to fix what's happening. But here's
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: what you see. There is evidence that Page's brain was
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: completely crushed into nearly nothing.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: I get a little nauseous.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: You see the scarring in her mind, but her brain
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: is building itself back up at an alarming rate. It
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: will still take some time, but she is healing. What
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: did you see? She's not awake.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: No, she will, she will.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry I didn't get anything about what she remembers though,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: or what she'll be like when she does.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: But but she can be. Okay, do you think.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know?
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: She got She kind of got a raised and I
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: don't know if what's being written will be the same book.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't get close to people, I guess, Jason. Everyone
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: gets hurt. Yeah, yeah, they do, me too. We can't.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: We can't live like that though, right, Maybe just another compartment,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: another fold.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, I know someone else who could look at her?
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: Who I'm my best friend, Jillian.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm she a doctor?
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well not this kind of doctor.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: No. But she work at the station.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, I.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: Tried to save her from falling, recently saying the accident
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: at her page.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: She was in this accident.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: She hasn't told me.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I think she just ended up with
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: like a her leg got hurt, but she's okay. You
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: saved her.
• 1:15:13

  Speaker 1: Oh Jason, I put my arm around him and kiss

• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: election days? Voted election parade? Just take over monkey with
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: symbols to distract me a lot of it. There was
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: a three of four and a one to patrol scores,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: which gave you enough to want to be around the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: mayor's skyscraper while the vote is going on because of
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: the discussion the new city Hall where the mayor has
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: placed himself in kno. Oh my god.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: If the city Hall comes to live as a giant
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: mech and we have to literally fight city Hall, I
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: will scream, I want to fight city Hall, Johnny. Now
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: I've got another idea. I want to fight city Hall.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: The day arrives, where do you want to be Because
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: you heard of the discussion of the True America Gang.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: You want to be around because you're worried that they
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: might incite some violence. But based on your patrols, you
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: can be from downtime. You you got that. I'm basically giving
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: like you should be here yes, I'm giving you that
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: great bonus here. Where do you want to be? Though?
• 1:17:08

• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: so it's it's bigger. Yes, there are bigger There are
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: bigger skyscrapers out there, but size doesn't mean. It's how
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: you use your skyscraper.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Is it a mac or is it just a building?
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: Is it going to come to life and we can
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: fight city Hall? So where do you want to be?
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: Do you want to be on top of it? Do
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: you want to be in the sky beside it? Do
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: you want to be on the ground? Jackie is there?
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Ever Wing is there? And the Venom boys are going
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: to come along with you, Dark Blade and Lucky Lucky
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: whose heroes his hero name is Rockfist.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, I'd love to be on if there's a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: nearby zeppelin of some sort, just kind of hanging out
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: around near the top.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: It was certainly be a news zeppelin, yes, filled with newspapers.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: I would like to be in the grid, just like
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: zipping around the building, surrounding buildings, electrical wires, like I'm
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: just constant motion within the electrical currents of this area.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: I think Rigel is going to be flying around checking
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: a different polling places. Yeah, sure that there's peace that
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: though one's being intimidated and just be in a superhero
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: pressis while people wait lie as I fly over.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: The heroes come out to vote, as does the city.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: The poles are flooded and Jamir there is no violence
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: at the poles. Okay. The Mayor's office, the city council chamber,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: which only Jamir has been into a long glass room
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: with an obsidian table that the city council sits at
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: is televised by Manny Ellington to the city paper. Phantom
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: Zeppelinuron has an enormous screen speed racer style. Hell yeah,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: so that's what Susan Sarandon's for that shows the room.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: In the room right now is the mayor sitting at
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: the head of the table, Adrian Stephenson. Around the table
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: are the masked city council, all wearing their fedoras with
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: the chains that come down to their chin. Manny Ellington
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: has yet to arrive. The mayor addresses the cameras and
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: addresses the city council. If he doesn't show, we'll start
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: without him. His camera's made it. But whereas he the
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: doors burst open. Manny Ellington enters with a few judges,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: city judges. He says, why not take off your hats? Boys?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: The city already knows who you are, and he is
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: not wearing his hat. None of them budge. The mayor,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: not really playing to cameras anymore, says Ellington, you trader.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: Ellington just gestures around, points up to Everwing who's flying about,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: and Rigel, who zooms by. Gods and heroes look down
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: upon you, Stephenson in judgment. Your time has come. The judge,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: one of the city judges that comes in with Ellington,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: has an envelope. He shakes nervously, looking at the mayor nervously,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: and he opens it up. There has been a decisive
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: choice may by the people of this city at a
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: seventy two percent majority. The people have voted to hold
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: an election for a new mayor.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, Rigel shoots out stars as he flies over it.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: You all feel an eruption of joy throughout the city.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: The mayor first looks sharply at Manny, knowing that Manny
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: was supposed to control the vote through the electronic booths.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Manny says, come now, Adrian, the cat is out of
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: the bag. I've never been on your side and am
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: not now. The mayor's countenance settles, though, as he remembers
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: he's got the whole mayoral council, the whole city council,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: in his pocket, and has made contingencies for this kind
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: of moment. The judge says, now the council will move
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: to ratify or deny the will of the people, believing
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: without doubt that their vote here will be what's best
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: for the people in their districts.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: There we go, Let's see if it worked.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: Each of the city council members, not speaking because of
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: the ruse that they are different people underneath, move to
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: write something on a card and slide it forward. The
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: judge collects them all opens the first one, Mitchell Nichols,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: votes his name not to hold an election. Fuck to
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: that guy, we got Manny Ellington votes to hold an election.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: George Olsen votes not to hold an election.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought we had that guy.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: Benjamin Shabrath votes to hold an election. We just beat
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: up right, Yeah, nice David, that worked. Gary Stephenson Gary
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: Stephenson h takes off his hat and winks at the mayor,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: looking happy, votes to hold an election. Perfect, and Stephen
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: Starr votes to hold an election.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: The mayor's countenance falls further and further into a rage
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: as these votes come in. By the last one, he
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: is no longer holding the facade of political professionalism.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: You cowards?
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: What has come of you? Why would you do this?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: After everything, everything I've given you, everything I've done, you
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: treat me this way? He moves and grabs one of
• 1:23:50
