Latest / The Multiverse Collective / Wild Wild West E18: Arthur Uses the Pythagorean Theorem
Transcript
- 0:00Also, I, I, I I was looking at it like that.
- 0:04Itchy is wearing Slick's clothing.
- 0:06When Itchy comes up to Slick's shoulder at his maximum height
- 0:09is fucking hilarious. So comical, Oh my God.
- 0:14It is absolutely like a child playing dress up, yes.
- 0:20I looked over at that poster and I'm like, he is so like, like
- 0:24your shoulder is at my second waist coat button, Yeah.
- 0:29No, he's 100% like he's just being eaten alive by your
- 0:34clothes. My, my hope was maybe he was
- 0:38like white enough to fill it out a little bit so it wasn't as
- 0:41bad. But no, no, that's you can't
- 0:43overcome that. Not that much.
- 0:46He's only slightly rotund. Yeah. 1st we have those damn
- 0:53coyotes who know my scent now and damn the Dick and trap me
- 1:02for Lilith and that damn Itchy trying to shoot that kid for
- 1:08Slick to go behind my back like that.
- 1:12I can't believe that Slick would do that and kill a kid.
- 1:18He knows my stance on that. It's probably for the best that
- 1:23I've left him in the dust. Music.
- 2:32All right, we're going to start with Arthur.
- 2:34You have stormed off. It's not really a temper
- 2:38tantrum, but you're a man on the edge.
- 2:40And you got pushed over the edge because the two people in this
- 2:43world that you have grown an attachment to and that you
- 2:45thought you could trust just shot a child in front of you.
- 2:48A child who was asleep, who was drunk, who is clearly not going
- 2:52to wake up because he was so drunk.
- 2:54They shot him anyway and they both wanted to shoot him.
- 2:58So you've ridden off back to Houston, back the way you came
- 3:02through this wasteland. And what's on your mind on this
- 3:06ride? I mean, it's so much has
- 3:09happened in the last six hours even you've had a day.
- 3:14I think but the most prevalent thing on his mind is everything
- 3:17that no one said to him when he was pretending to be Clarice and
- 3:22how, you know, he I shouldn't have took the job and it was my
- 3:26fault. Actually, her and Pete are dead.
- 3:28And I think it's really hitting home because I think he knew
- 3:34deep down all along that it was his fault, but he just wanted to
- 3:38have the blame on Jensen for being the one, presumably, who
- 3:44killed them. Yeah.
- 3:47And I, I would like to remind our audience that no one didn't
- 3:52confirm or deny whether it was Jensen that killed Clarice.
- 3:55Yeah, and I think Arthur is just like having such an existential
- 4:02crisis of everything he's done for these past eight years.
- 4:05And then for for the two people he was starting to believe were
- 4:10friends to kill a child in front of him when like he's shown that
- 4:16he won't harm a child with like pissed by he was like 16 or 17.
- 4:20However, they're all fuck all pissed players.
- 4:22Like never hurt him. He never hit him.
- 4:25And this was even after you'd you'd asked them not to.
- 4:28Yeah. So I think he's just like trying
- 4:32to figure out what he should do and the fact that the the
- 4:36hellhound slash Wendigo has told him that he knows his scent and
- 4:39he knows where to find him now. Or he knows where Lilith knows
- 4:42where to find him, I think. I think he thinks even though
- 4:47his his two friends have betrayed his trust, if he can
- 4:51draw Lilith a different way, it's better for for them because
- 4:55they can get to Asmodeus. Or I don't know if Slick ever
- 5:02told me it was. His date, so I'm pretty sure we
- 5:04didn't. So I think it, I think he's
- 5:07being selfless but also being selfish at the same time by
- 5:11being like, well, I, I'm clearly one in the right, but let me
- 5:16save these two Dick heads first. How noble.
- 5:20The duality of man. The duality of man, indeed.
- 5:25The ride is desolate. Bessie is deeply unsettled.
- 5:31Being in this land, you don't hear any animals, you don't hear
- 5:36anything at all, and you're along a train track.
- 5:38There should be things here and I think you find maybe an hour
- 5:45or so into your ride a depot that the train passed without
- 5:49stopping at, which is odd. It's odd that that train would
- 5:53have passed this depot and it says welcome to Silsbee.
- 5:57Silsbee, TX. This is the first town you've
- 6:00seen but there aren't lights. It's odd.
- 6:04It's a small town, but larger than larger than Holy Cedar.
- 6:10OK, Arthur will ride Bessie into the town, and I'm assuming
- 6:15there's going to be like a saloon or some sort of drinking
- 6:19establishment there. Yeah, there is.
- 6:23You'll tie Bessie out front and go in and get like a shot of
- 6:27whiskey or something. There's no one here, Arthur.
- 6:31It's empty. You'll walk in and grab a bottle
- 6:33off the shelf then. Yeah, absolutely.
- 6:38No lights, nothing Food on the tables, but not a lot of food.
- 6:44It's like. Is it fresh?
- 6:45Gruel. No, but there aren't even flies.
- 6:50Yeah, that's odd. Can I look around with the site?
- 6:54Yeah, when you look around at the site, you see shadows that
- 7:01weren't there before you turned it on.
- 7:04You see shadows of people sitting at these tables and you
- 7:08see the shadow of a bartender, and when you look up towards the
- 7:13balcony where the working girls would stand and back into
- 7:16customers, you see shadows. Wraith.
- 7:33And now we're going to go see what Slick and Itchy you're up
- 7:37to when you think about what you want to do with that
- 7:40information. Hi, Slick.
- 7:41Hi, Itchy. Sup.
- 7:44Hey, howdy. How are you guys feeling?
- 7:48Stressed. I feel like we're sort of, I
- 7:51mean, I feel like we've arced back a little bit and we're
- 7:53heading parallel to the tracks, but maybe like 1/2 mile away
- 7:57from them. OK.
- 8:00How long has it been? Probably.
- 8:02We'll say it's been about the same for you guys about an hour.
- 8:05OK, I I feel like we could probably stop and take a break
- 8:10at this point. Yeah.
- 8:14You are both also in wasteland. There's nothing here.
- 8:18You haven't even seen running water.
- 8:20Every Creek you've passed has been dried up.
- 8:23The trees other more reason to not run the horses as hard.
- 8:27Yeah, the trees are dead. There's not even grass.
- 8:31This is Dust Bowl. There's nothing living.
- 8:35There aren't bugs. There aren't toads, there aren't
- 8:39lizards. There's certainly no small game
- 8:43you haven't seen or heard anything other than the wind,
- 8:47Yeah. He's flat here, ain't it?
- 8:51Well, that's that's one way to to say it.
- 8:56Shit. I, I, I ain't got no idea what's
- 9:01going on with all this. This is can I, can I like, I'll
- 9:07get off my horse and I'll, I'll squat down and I'll sort of
- 9:09like, I'll start like I'm digging through the ground a
- 9:13little bit and I'll turn my sight on.
- 9:15Is there like blight in the land or do I just see dirt?
- 9:18Like can I see like a source of this?
- 9:21You. Yeah.
- 9:23So how do I want to phrase this? When you turn up the dirt, you
- 9:29find the first, like, real corpse you've seen.
- 9:35Since the corpse is in front of the train, it's an earthworm,
- 9:38and it's shriveled, mummified, like an earthworm that you would
- 9:43find dried out on the sidewalk the day after it rains.
- 9:47And the sun was so bright it shouldn't be quite like this,
- 9:52but it's dried stiff. And it's with the sight you see
- 9:58this intensely dark shadow that's cast from it, like the
- 10:04ghost of what used to be there. But it's like all of it's gone,
- 10:08all of it's been eaten. There's not even like soul left.
- 10:11Yeah, well, Ichi, I ain't never seen cursed land quite like this
- 10:20before. Well, that's a relief.
- 10:26Yeah. I mean, I guess you could call
- 10:28it a relief, but I don't know how far this goes.
- 10:33That's the issue. That's that's great to hear
- 10:37coming from you, Mr. Mr. Maine Noir, how far you reckon we of a
- 10:47ride we have ahead of us? We were still in Texas.
- 10:51We had a long way to go to New Orleans.
- 10:53I know I just I just looked up where Silsbee is.
- 10:59Well depends on if we can what what would be?
- 11:03God I am so bad at geography. Would there?
- 11:05Would I know if there's any other like main cities or like
- 11:09stations along the way? I think the closest place that
- 11:15you would know of would be like Lafayette, and that's that's a
- 11:19ways away. That's days away, boy.
- 11:23Oh. Boy, that's days away.
- 11:26You could dip down to Beaumont, but that's out of your way.
- 11:31Yeah, so, well, Itchy, I guess we got two options here.
- 11:35And I reckon either one of them ain't real better than the other
- 11:39one. But either we can forge on and
- 11:43hope we get out of whatever this blight is at some point before,
- 11:46you know, we and or our horses perish.
- 11:50Or we dip South and maybe it's only along the tracks and we can
- 11:55find a city that has some life in it.
- 11:58Evander, what do you think? Oh right, I forgot it's just a
- 12:02horse. Do we need to worry about
- 12:04Evander like eating or drinking? Like do we just have like an
- 12:09infinite stamina horse? I don't know, you haven't seen a
- 12:15meter drink yet, but also do you pay that much attention to your
- 12:19horses? I mean, I feel like Itchy would
- 12:22especially Evander. Yeah.
- 12:25I feel like itchy. I definitely would.
- 12:27Yeah, you haven't seen a meter drink.
- 12:30Well, I mean in a previous life Evander was a was a pretty
- 12:35hungry guy. I haven't seen him eating.
- 12:38Golly few days. So I guess we have 1/3 option of
- 12:45take both horses as far as we can and either we get out or if
- 12:50mine can't make it then we both just hop on Evander and just
- 12:53keep going until we can't no more.
- 12:56Well. I mean.
- 12:58If we're going to be stuck with this situation, I mean, I guess
- 13:00we could use it for our advantage, but also we could try
- 13:02and head South. How far away is Beaumont Rye
- 13:06like? Spitballing it would be like a
- 13:09day from where you're at at least.
- 13:11Like a hard part probably. Probably a day and a half, maybe
- 13:162 if you'd like. Don't stop.
- 13:18I mean that. We can't, we can't really split
- 13:22decision this at this point it's neither nor if.
- 13:25It's two days. That's that's tough.
- 13:27I mean, Evander might make it, but I'm not too sure about the
- 13:31two of us. Well.
- 13:33We got supplies. I'm I mean I can't I'm going to
- 13:39check my saddlebag. So I still have like food and
- 13:41water, like nothing, everything I'm.
- 13:42Actually, still good, right? I'm also going to check.
- 13:44Oh fuck. Like.
- 13:48Fast. I mean we did have a look
- 13:50outside and we got told it was a famine which is like that was
- 13:55when we were on the train like 3 episodes ago.
- 13:58Yeah. All right, I think.
- 14:04I think we head South. I don't I don't think we're
- 14:06going to ride out of this anytime soon.
- 14:08I think we have to make best time as we can.
- 14:10We could probably, we could probably hop on the train to
- 14:13Beaumont too. I mean, hopefully news spreads
- 14:16slower than we do because best case scenario, we just make it
- 14:22hop on a train from Beaumont to New Orleans and we're only a
- 14:25couple days behind. Yeah, I, I, I think that's going
- 14:29to be our best bet. I mean, I don't know where the
- 14:32fuck Arthur's going, but maybe, I don't know.
- 14:38For better or for worse, that might give him a chance to
- 14:40either catch up or beat us there.
- 14:43I mean, if he knows the area and he knows that if he's going to
- 14:46head back this way, then it's not, I don't know that's, that's
- 14:49on him. He he left.
- 14:52Yeah, can't think about that. All right.
- 14:54I think we should before, before our supplies rot too much.
- 14:59I think we should just fill up now and see how far we can push
- 15:02it. I agree is is the water like is
- 15:05the water OK at least or is it just the food?
- 15:09You're not going to know about the water until you've chased
- 15:11it, I mean. I'm going to chase it.
- 15:13I'm going to try. Yeah.
- 15:15I feel like, I feel like we've been riding for an hour pretty
- 15:16hard. I, I feel like we're probably
- 15:18thirsty and I'm going to give my horse some water at the very I'm
- 15:20going to taste it first and see if it's OK and then I'm going to
- 15:22give my horse some water. The water tastes like really
- 15:26intense well water after a rain, so it's like very, very
- 15:32minerally. And it's that's not awful.
- 15:35It's less than what was in there when you started, so it's just
- 15:40like it's evaporating. It's concentrating despite being
- 15:42capped. Yeah, I, I matter.
- 15:46I live in well water. Well water's not awful.
- 15:48So I'm going to, I'm going to drink what I can.
- 15:50I'm going to let the horse drink as much as it possibly can
- 15:53before we lose this same thing with the food.
- 15:55Try and feed it. I'm going to eat what I can
- 15:58before this food goes bad. And then we and then we're going
- 16:01to press on South to Belmont. Yep.
- 16:04OK. Arthur.
- 16:19Yes. What's up?
- 16:24You've had some time to consider your situation.
- 16:27Yeah, I think he's going to put the bottle of whiskey back on
- 16:30the shelf because we've got all, all these shadows are still
- 16:34acting like regular people. It's still theft.
- 16:37So he's going to put it. No, they're not.
- 16:40Oh, OK, so they're just. They're they're shadows, but
- 16:43they're like, I don't know if you've ever seen the pictures of
- 16:47like what Hiroshima looked like after.
- 16:49Yeah, OK. Yeah, yeah, I get here.
- 16:51OK. So they're like lighted.
- 16:53Yeah. OK, he's going to go to touch
- 16:58one just to see what happens because if these things aren't
- 17:03moving, then it's then it's sort of like a a memory of a distant
- 17:07past. He wants to make sure that he's
- 17:08not going fully insane. So he's going to whichever one's
- 17:14like closest to the bar, maybe like the bartender, because he's
- 17:17he's obviously gone behind the bar to get a bottle of whiskey.
- 17:21And you'd still have the side on, obviously.
- 17:25Out of curiosity, is this is the alcohol OK?
- 17:29Yes. It's.
- 17:30Already fermented to help, you can only get stronger.
- 17:35Alcohol is OK, Arthur. When your fingers touch this
- 17:40shadow, this like, horrific shaking comes over you.
- 17:46Like, I don't know if you've ever, like, been so anxious.
- 17:50You get like, cold and you're like shaking from the anxiety
- 17:54and the cold, but you're overcome with it.
- 17:57And you hear this distant screeching that almost sounds
- 18:02like the brakes on the train, but not quite.
- 18:07It's a little bit more human than that.
- 18:09And if you withdraw the shaking and the cold leaves slowly, but
- 18:15it doesn't completely leave. OK, so as he takes his hand off,
- 18:20he's going to pop the cork on this, pop the lid on this bottle
- 18:23of whiskey and take a hearty slug of the whiskey.
- 18:28Yeah, that's valid and. He'll put it back on the shelf
- 18:33and he's going to go and stand outside and he's going to just
- 18:38sort of with the sight still, he's going to see if there's
- 18:41more shadows just on the face on like the the Main St.
- 18:46And I think he's he's sort of going to be questioning what's
- 18:50happened because if this was a town, well, the Silsbee was a
- 18:54town where people will live in and for everyone to just
- 18:57disappear. That's, that's not something
- 19:00that just happens. It's like a a phenomenon.
- 19:03Yeah. Oh, and I will say when you
- 19:05touch the shadow briefly it it did seem to move a little bit,
- 19:10not like towards you, but like as if it was performing the
- 19:14actions of what it was doing when it died, so to speak.
- 19:20OK, so it's. Like like an after image.
- 19:26OK. And you said there's like a
- 19:29train, right? So there's a train track that
- 19:31goes through Silsby like a depot, right?
- 19:35Yes. I'm going to walk over to the
- 19:37the train track towards a train track to see if I see a train
- 19:40after hearing the the screech the more human screech.
- 19:45You don't see a train. I'm assuming you still have your
- 19:48sight on though. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:50Yeah, you see, it's almost like a mirror of what you guys saw
- 19:56when you looked out in front of the train.
- 19:58Wyatt had stopped. And you just see these shadows
- 20:03lying on top of the tracks. But no train, not a lot, not a
- 20:08colossal amount. But.
- 20:10OK. So if my critical thinking is
- 20:15correct is this is whatever happened to this town is what
- 20:18was going to happen to that train?
- 20:21And I feel like Arthur's sort of trying to put things together
- 20:24because we got stopped by a, a landfill of corpses and there's
- 20:29a, a landfill of short shadow corpses here.
- 20:32So whatever made those after images was going to come after
- 20:38us on that train. Yeah, I think that's a safe
- 20:41assumption. The train was going to stop no
- 20:45matter what happened with UT and with no one.
- 20:51And I feel like the no one thing is just a coincidence.
- 20:53I feel like it was just a. No one goes where no one wants.
- 20:57Yeah, that's. It a tourist sometimes just to
- 21:02see bad things happen, yeah. I'm assuming that AF would have
- 21:09had a map at least of this like the state because he was hunting
- 21:14Byron Black for a while. Yeah, I think that makes.
- 21:17Sense so I think AF would pull like a map out and then I think
- 21:21maybe just look along where the train track is and see if
- 21:24there's any other towns that we would have passed from.
- 21:28Is it Houston? Yeah, that we didn't stop him
- 21:31where there would feasibly be a a depot.
- 21:35Yeah. There are, I don't.
- 21:36Want you to like say like there's loads of different
- 21:38towns. I don't want you to go that deep
- 21:40into it because this is all my thoughts split in the party,
- 21:42but. We're not going that deep into
- 21:45it, but I will find a town between Silsbee and Houston.
- 21:50Let's say Aims, That's a little far.
- 21:53Let's say Sour Lake. OK.
- 21:57Filling name. So I think if, if we didn't stop
- 22:02there, then I feel like Arthur would come to the conclusion
- 22:07that all the corpses, the thousands of corpses did you say
- 22:10was in front of that train would come from all these little towns
- 22:14that we didn't stop at. Because we didn't make one stop
- 22:17at all during the whole time we were on that train.
- 22:21And we were on there for like a day and 1/2 was it like, because
- 22:24we did go to sleep? I remember that.
- 22:27Yeah, You boarded the train around 5.
- 22:29You slept that night, you woke up the next morning, and this
- 22:32was all happening the evening of the next day.
- 22:34So you've been on the train for like a little over 24 hours?
- 22:38So maybe half was just thinking, shit, all the, all these people
- 22:43that were in front of the train with people who lived in the
- 22:46towns. And then obviously we, we found
- 22:49out that there's a famine. The land is filled with famine.
- 22:54And obviously there's some sort of juju going on here.
- 22:56And then I'm, I'm going to get really deep in tell me when to
- 23:01shut up and I'll shut up. And then Arthur's going to think
- 23:05back to what preacher King Curtis said about how all the
- 23:11virtues died and there's an equal force on the demon side.
- 23:16And as the God fearing man that Arthur is, he's you're going to
- 23:22think about like the seven deadly sins.
- 23:25And then he's going to be like, well, greed would cause a
- 23:28famine. And if greed is a a sin and it's
- 23:32a demon and which is opposite to a virtue, maybe.
- 23:35Wouldn't gluttony cause the famine?
- 23:37Yeah, and gluttony. Yeah, which makes sense because
- 23:40if if the the Wendigo hell dog things weren't eating, something
- 23:45else has got to be eating all that stuff.
- 23:47And Riley, I want you to tell me what's a role to to say whether
- 23:51Arthur's going to head towards the boys or he's going to head
- 23:54back. What would keep you?
- 23:58What would keep you from going towards the boys?
- 24:00Your own pride having to admit that you need other people in
- 24:06order to defeat whatever this is that's happening.
- 24:10I think then it's persuasion, isn't it?
- 24:13Oh, OK, Persuasion. You have to convince yourself
- 24:16that you're doing the right thing, not just for you, but for
- 24:19I'm. Going to go laughs and loot dies
- 24:21here guys. I'm going to give you this with
- 24:26one. Well, I got a crit fail and a
- 24:29crit success. Well, that's enough, isn't it?
- 24:33You know logically what you have to do.
- 24:35You know that whatever this is is bigger than you.
- 24:38It's bigger than one man and it's bigger than itchy and slick
- 24:42and that this is only going to spread and.
- 24:44Then I'm going to look at my map again and then I'm going to look
- 24:48where we were. We were about, you said it was
- 24:49about an hour ride, right? Yeah, Salisbury's about an hour
- 24:53where you're at. I'm going to use like
- 24:56trigonometry and shit like that and figure out maybe they would
- 24:59have gone to Belmont. Is Arthur using the Pythagorean
- 25:02theorem? I am using the Pythagorean
- 25:04theorem. Arthur and his notoriously
- 25:08intelligent demeanour. And it will look and he would
- 25:15say that the boys would either have continued riding in One
- 25:18Direction, which would be multiple day ride to I can't
- 25:21remember the name of the the city, he said, or it would have
- 25:24it would have gone for like the day-to-day ride to Belmont.
- 25:28And I think he's just going to Beaumont.
- 25:29Beaumont that one and just decide to ride to Beaumont to
- 25:34see if he can catch up to him there.
- 25:39Understood. Yeah, I think that makes sense.
- 25:54Gentlemen, Switchy. Switchy God don't ship it.
- 25:59It's not. A ship name.
- 26:01It's just it's. So yeah, how are we?
- 26:05Like, I mean, you tell us how we're just riding in a straight
- 26:08line as best we can towards this town, hoping that there's
- 26:13something there and then it's not also blighted.
- 26:17Yeah, I mean, you're doing your best.
- 26:19I would like one of you to roll a navigation check please.
- 26:23Navigation. There's I.
- 26:26Mean there are no more like markers.
- 26:28You're off the railroad tracks, you're just riding in Wildern
- 26:31Hub wastelands. There's nothing.
- 26:34I got I got 2 dice. Oh, I also have two dice.
- 26:38So we're no, I have three, I have three, I have two and you
- 26:41rolls OK, that's a six. I got 1/6.
- 26:44Alright. Yeah, 1 success.
- 26:47I'm rolling OK. Better than usual tonight.
- 26:49I'm gonna roll something really fast.
- 26:51Oh good. Well, you didn't think it was
- 26:54going to be easy, did you? I can hope.
- 26:57What happened to our fun little happy Wild West adventure guys?
- 27:01That's that was dead a long time ago.
- 27:04Yeah, somebody said. What happens if I read minds
- 27:08now? This is what you've won.
- 27:10Here we are. Oh, could you imagine what a
- 27:13different world it would? Be if I just shut the fuck up.
- 27:17My original idea was grim dark, and here we are anyway.
- 27:22Here we are in Demon Slayer. You could never escape.
- 27:25It so things are quiet.
- 27:41Things have been quiet this whole time, but it's like, I
- 27:45think you feel it first. It's this gnawing feeling of
- 27:51anxiety and stress in the back of your mind.
- 27:55You're cold. You feel so cold.
- 27:59And it's Texas. You feel like you shouldn't be
- 28:04here. It's you said it was evening.
- 28:07Is the sun going down at this point?
- 28:10Have we been riding long enough for it to be like evening or?
- 28:13Night, the sun's, the sun's setting and night's creeping in.
- 28:18And obviously, you know, Texas gets cold at night and you're in
- 28:23a wasteland. There's no anything holding the
- 28:27warmth to the earth, but your bones are cold.
- 28:31Is there wind? Not now.
- 28:34No, there's not. It's still and quiet.
- 28:42I guess I'm going to, I'm, I'm going to look around and see if
- 28:47we should is, is, is this something to worry about?
- 28:50Should we kick it into high gear and run?
- 28:55Every instinct in your body is telling you to run.
- 28:59Are the horses sensing anything? Like do they just go or are they
- 29:04chill? Evander business as usual, the
- 29:08horse that you are riding, that your stolen horse is nervous
- 29:12head on a swivel. Ichi, I think we need to go.
- 29:17All right, Evander high gear. Yeah, I'm just going to let the
- 29:23horse fucking run. Like if it if it wants to go,
- 29:25we're going to go. I think Ichi's going to, Ichi's
- 29:30going to reach down and he's just going to pull out his gun.
- 29:32He's going to have it ready to go.
- 29:35Yeah, not a bad idea. We're having like real outlaws
- 29:38now. I don't like.
- 29:38This. I don't like whatever's coming
- 29:41after us. That's what scares me more.
- 29:43Can each of your role and analyze check?
- 29:46Oh yes, of course. Your favorite?
- 29:50I put real dice into this specifically for this at 1:00.
- 29:55Six. I'm I'm consistent with 11.
- 29:59I got a 515. Be each of you one success.
- 30:04It's not enough. You don't know cool.
- 30:07You just feel this overwhelming anxiety that you have to go, you
- 30:11have to go, you have to go, but you only feel it when you have
- 30:15the site on. I, I guess we go, I mean, I, I
- 30:19think if, if whatever we're feeling is this intense and it's
- 30:23getting dark, whatever the fuck is out here in the night is
- 30:27probably not good if everything else is dead.
- 30:30So I, I think we're gonna, just gonna try and use the fact that
- 30:33it's not beating Sun and just try and fucking haul ass.
- 30:36Yet. I mean the best time to move in
- 30:38the desert is at night or like evening time.
- 30:40So like this time so. You still have a little
- 30:44visibility. Yeah.
- 30:48I don't have the waste are. There are there cactuses?
- 30:51No, there's nothing. Are there shells of cactuses?
- 30:56Like are they just dead or? There are shells of scrub Bush.
- 31:04OK, I'm just. But it's like, it's not even
- 31:06like tumbleweeds. It's like.
- 31:10If I haven't even seen like a dead cactus, yeah, we're going.
- 31:14Like even if we can't see, like I'm not going to be worried
- 31:16about running into a fucking cactus, dead or not.
- 31:19Yeah, we know the general direction we have to go and
- 31:22we're either going to hit Beaumont or the Gulf.
- 31:25Yeah, And you've been passing these, like, small towns in the
- 31:30distance, nothing that you've been, like, close enough to see.
- 31:33And I mean, I think that's intentional.
- 31:34You guys are trying to keep away from main roads and keep away
- 31:37from towns. You haven't seen anybody.
- 31:40There's just nothing out here. And it shouldn't be like this.
- 31:44I mean, Ichi, you've been through this part of the country
- 31:46before. It's not like this.
- 31:48There are these sprawling ranches and cattlemen out here,
- 31:53estates that are hundreds of thousands of acres of cattle,
- 31:56and you haven't even seen fence. Whatever this thing is that's
- 32:01following us, that's doing this, it's sucking the soul right out
- 32:05the land. Why do I hear boss music?
- 32:15And once the sun dips below the horizon, completely slick, you
- 32:21feel a breeze and it smells like rot.
- 32:27From what direction? Is it behind us or is it from
- 32:30the side it's. From the side.
- 32:34All right, well, if I don't get to look behind me, I, I guess
- 32:36I'll take a look that way with the sight on.
- 32:39I feel like I'm just rolling with the sight on at this point
- 32:41because I I don't want to be snuck up on.
- 32:43Yeah, Ichi 2. That's fair, you don't see
- 32:46anything yet, but as you turn towards that breeze, it smells
- 32:49like rotting and meat and like a brewery on the day that they
- 32:56throw away all the spent grain. Oh, pleasant.
- 33:01Excess and Arthur, let's get back to
- 33:14you. Hi.
- 33:17Hi, so have you started your journey yourself?
- 33:20Yeah, I feel like as soon as he realized where they were going,
- 33:23he would have like jumped straight on Bessie and probably
- 33:27hightailed it towards Beaumont. Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair.
- 33:36Bessie is nervous. She's nervous.
- 33:40I don't know. You're not used to her being
- 33:41this nervous. But like, the weird shit's
- 33:44happening, man. Really weird shit's happening.
- 33:48And the sun creeps down in the sky as you ride, and you're
- 33:52making, like, pretty decent time, I would imagine.
- 33:55I mean, it's not like you have much holding you down, and it's
- 33:58not like you're stopping for anything.
- 33:59There's nowhere to water the horse, there's nothing for her
- 34:01to eat. But once the sun dips below the
- 34:05horizon, you feel the first breeze you felt all day, and it
- 34:11smells like this rot. Lovely and.
- 34:19It's the wind is like blowing from Houston towards where you
- 34:24are. OK, so it's like behind me ish.
- 34:30Yeah, it's it's blowing from the West.
- 34:34So I'll I feel like I've just been rolling with the sights
- 34:37since it got to. Yeah.
- 34:39And then I'll take a look towards the smell, just to see
- 34:46if there's anything behind or to the West of me.
- 34:52Roll and analyse. That's 2 successes, 2 fives.
- 34:56Two successes. There's nothing fair, eminently,
- 35:01but you can tell it's not right and you can tell that it's
- 35:04demonic. I will grab my Smith and Wesson
- 35:10the the demon killing kind, not the the regular kind and but I
- 35:16won't grab it like to pull it out I'll have I've had my hand
- 35:18on the holster with the holster unclipped for the moment in case
- 35:24if someone fucking pull up on me.
- 35:27Fair, fair. But you're going to keep making
- 35:29good time and you're not in imminent danger, unlike your
- 35:32friends, so we'll focus back then.
- 35:35You don't know that. No, I'm just reminding them
- 35:39you're definitely. Going to go for the bigger meal.
- 35:41Let's be honest, two people over the month you can go and you
- 35:43will definitely go for the bigger meal.
- 35:45Yeah. All right, we've been plotting.
- 35:58I have an idea. It's not a good idea, but it's
- 36:00the only idea I can think of in the situation.
- 36:02Delightful. Give me your idea, gentlemen.
- 36:06I'd I'd like to start. So first thing I want to do, I
- 36:09want to, can I roll a natural environment to see if there's
- 36:13somewhere that is a, even if it's poorly, like a somewhat
- 36:19defensible position like a cave or like a Cliff side or just
- 36:23something that we can put our back to?
- 36:25Yeah, absolutely. Like a dry stream bed or
- 36:28something. Yeah, 100%.
- 36:31OK, it's three dice. Hey, out of three dice, that's
- 36:34two sixes. Hey, hell yeah.
- 36:37I'm rolling. I'm rolling good.
- 36:39You are rolling hot tonight. I think you do find a dry stream
- 36:42bed. It's not super deep, but it is
- 36:46cover. All right, I I'm gonna.
- 36:49I'm gonna like motion to itchy for us to swing over there, and
- 36:54I'm going to pull up my horse so we can stop for a second.
- 36:59We still don't see anything, but we can assume that it's getting
- 37:01closer. The smell gets stronger every
- 37:04second. All right, Slick, what are you
- 37:09thinking? Itchy.
- 37:11If this thing wants to eat, we got to give it food.
- 37:14You think that's going to? I Slick's Slick's going to jump
- 37:18off his horse and he's going to pull everything important out of
- 37:21his saddlebags and he's just going to slap it on the ass and
- 37:24let it start running like in the same direction they were going
- 37:27to hopefully let it chase the horse.
- 37:30Oh, you were going to do that? OK.
- 37:33Yeah. All right, well, fair enough.
- 37:36And I think Ichi hops down in the stream bed and just tries to
- 37:42tries to get a like some sort of position up.
- 37:47Top. To try and like aid the gun.
- 37:53You almost immediately once the horse is out of your line of
- 37:58sight here. You don't know if you've ever
- 38:00heard a horse die before. You probably haven't.
- 38:03I have. Oh, when they.
- 38:09Traumatize us What? Is when it's a traumatic death.
- 38:15When they break a leg, they let out this horrific squeal
- 38:20usually, and I'm not going to make that sound because I live
- 38:23in a building with neighbors and I'm not going.
- 38:28To you can't imagine it. Yeah, you hear this.
- 38:32It's a scream essentially, like the scream squeal of the horse.
- 38:38And it cuts off very abruptly because I rolled a vast number
- 38:44of successes. Damn it, I.
- 38:50Was hoping I was hoping I'd buy us at least a little bit of.
- 38:56Time that's. About as effective a trade as a
- 38:58fucking bowl of Caccio El Pepe, I guess.
- 39:03Just about. I thought you were going to
- 39:05bargain with me. No, I just wanted a distraction.
- 39:10And there is this. I don't know how to say this.
- 39:16The smell is stronger. It's not on the wind anymore.
- 39:19It's around you. It's surrounds you.
- 39:20You can't get away from it. It's cloying, It's sweet and
- 39:27it's sour and it's rotten meat that's directly precedes this
- 39:35creature. He's riding a Black Horse and he
- 39:40is covered in this swarming, undulating, pulsing mass of
- 39:46flies. You can't even see his flesh, or
- 39:50his skin, really, until the flies move and you're looking at
- 39:54moonlight. But by the moonlight his skin is
- 39:59gaunt and yellow, jaundiced. It's waxy and he's carrying a
- 40:07set of scales, which seems odd. In one hand and a jet black
- 40:13shotgun in the other. Mindy turns to you and the flies
- 40:19move from his eyes. Oh, somebody figures something
- 40:24out. You guys were so close, but you
- 40:25didn't quite get it. I'm.
- 40:29Sorry bud, there's nothing I can do here.
- 40:33Then the flies move from his eyes and he just looks at you
- 40:38and I think we're going to begin combat, unless you have a
- 40:45different plan. I've been standing here staring
- 40:48at my skills this entire time and I cannot think of another
- 40:51thing we can do to try and get out of this.
- 40:54I've I've used every trick I got at this point.
- 40:57I don't think one special times point is going to is going to
- 41:01magically get us out of this situation.
- 41:05You can certainly try. Can we?
- 41:07Can I try to read its mind? That's a bad idea.
- 41:14The last time you tried to read Remind Me.
- 41:18Minor demons. Did you have the sight though,
- 41:21when you tried to read A Minor Demon's Mind?
- 41:23Because I don't think you. Did.
- 41:24No, because that was that was. See, that's what I thought and I
- 41:29just want to make sure for continuity's sake that that's
- 41:32what had happened because that's, I remember it being
- 41:34something that I had written down that I wasn't going to let
- 41:37you until you had the sight. You can certainly try Itchy.
- 41:41It's going to require more successes.
- 41:46Let's say I want how many, How many dice are you rolling with
- 41:49this? Two.
- 41:50I probably can't do it with two. Well remember we have the rules
- 41:56for this. So if you roll 1 success, you
- 41:58get 10 seconds of unfiltered stream of conscious 2.
- 42:03It's what is it with two? Is it 10 seconds of like actual
- 42:07structured thought? Well, that's zero successes.
- 42:10I think I take a point of damage, don't I?
- 42:12You do. Ouch.
- 42:15Itchy's nose starts to bleed. Yeah.
- 42:18Honestly, like at least some worries in this game.
- 42:21Slick I I think this might be time to make our last stand.
- 42:28There's not much else we can do. All right, fuck.
- 42:44All right. I'm in an interesting situation
- 42:46here. Because if the rules are that we
- 42:49need a blessed or silver weapon, I never fucking got silver
- 42:53bullets from anybody. Like nobody ever gave them to
- 42:56me. Can't you just?
- 42:57You have a blessed weapon though.
- 42:59I only have my arm. Guns are my only blessed
- 43:02weapons. That is true.
- 43:04Which are one shot each and have a reload time and also only 10
- 43:08yards range. So I'm very limited on my damage
- 43:13output on these things. I was kind of hoping.
- 43:15All right, all right, that's fine.
- 43:17That's fine. We'll make it work.
- 43:18We're going to get Trixie with this shit.
- 43:21Riley, I have a question for you.
- 43:23Yeah. Unspecifically, would the thing
- 43:28we talked about that I can do have any additional advantages
- 43:31in this fight outside of what we talked about?
- 43:36If you can sell me on it, yeah. Well I I just mean like would I
- 43:40be able to use like my regular gun to deal damage if I used it
- 43:44or no? No.
- 43:46OK, that's that's what I was concerned about, just because
- 43:50guns get so little damage. All right, all right, all right.
- 43:54Ichi, however, has gun. Oh, wait.
- 43:56What does Ichi have? Blessed.
- 43:57Is it just your gun? Yeah, just the gun.
- 43:59Just the one gun, OK? Yep.
- 44:00I'm the one here with the most blessed things.
- 44:03Yeah, I, well, I was going to say, if Ichi had a second
- 44:05blessed gun, I was just going to grab it out of his holster.
- 44:09Oh wait, Matt, did Itch sell his rifle or does he still have his
- 44:14rifle? Itchy still has he has a rifle.
- 44:19Yeah, because he stole a rifle pretty early on.
- 44:22Yeah, I still have AI, still have a carbine and I have 10-10
- 44:27shots. For it I'm assuming it's loaded
- 44:30so. Yeah.
- 44:32Slick is just going to he's going to grab the rifle off of
- 44:35Ichi's back. It's because you, you bought a
- 44:37holster for it. So I think it's just like
- 44:39holstered there, right? So I can just like grab it out
- 44:40of the holster. Riley, this isn't a blessed gun,
- 44:46but I want to shoot the scales if I can.
- 44:51That's going to be my target shot.
- 44:53OK. Like, I don't think I can damage
- 44:55this thing, but maybe I can hurt whatever these things are that
- 44:59he's holding. Yeah, maybe you can.
- 45:02OK, so that'll be that'll be my declaration for attack.
- 45:05OK. Are you guys moving at all
- 45:07first? I don't.
- 45:08Think it's a good point. I don't think there's a reason
- 45:10to at this point. When or the only defensible
- 45:12position for miles. So.
- 45:15And and I, I I wanted avoid getting super close to them,
- 45:18which is why I wanted to avoid using my sleeve guns until I
- 45:20have like a good shot because they only have a 10 yard range.
- 45:23That's fair. We're about 30 yards away from
- 45:24each other at this point. Yeah, so I way out of range for
- 45:27these things. And Itchy, what is your game
- 45:30plan here before you start rolling?
- 45:34I think Ichi is going to attempt to, with his blessed gun, try
- 45:39and shoot the try and shoot fanon.
- 45:44OK. Yeah, I think that's the best
- 45:47bet because you have the blessed gun.
- 45:49Yeah, Also there's some really deep suicide.
- 45:52Yeah, we're, we're doing some like, we're doing some like
- 45:55fucking theology in chat. OK, gentlemen, roll.
- 46:03Let's see so this is a rifle. There's a there's a rifle skill
- 46:06'cause I have points and pistol rifles, rifle shotguns.
- 46:08OK, I have no extra points in these another pistols.
- 46:12So let's see what we get. Wow, wow, that's two sixes and
- 46:18A5. Nice.
- 46:20On on three dice, OK, I take like everything I said about
- 46:24these dice, they're rolling good when they meet, when they
- 46:26matter. I have one success out of three.
- 46:32So I should just talk with? All of our.
- 46:34Feelings. Yeah, I'm reading.
- 46:35Not really bad. You're giving her ideas by
- 46:38saying this in public. No, it's OK.
- 46:40No. No, The thing is is you're
- 46:43you're assuming Rye hasn't already fought the.
- 46:45I know, I know. She's probably like had this
- 46:49discussion with herself when we were recording like episode 7.
- 46:55I enjoy that you guys. I'm just.
- 46:59Glad you guys are knowledgeable because I don't know shit about
- 47:01this stuff. So it's the only part of
- 47:03Christianity that I like. I.
- 47:06Legitimately know. Since we found out that the
- 47:08seven sins and the seven third Jews were a thing, I have been
- 47:10on a rabbit hole from hell. Literally.
- 47:14Look man, there's been an exorbitant amount of like
- 47:17rapture talk in our house in the past like 6 weeks.
- 47:21I can't imagine why. You ready, boy?
- 47:27Oh please, I want to know what happens.
- 47:29I shoot first, which isn't a surprise because I was rolling a
- 47:32six guy. Force.
- 47:48This is a very special gun. This is Famine the shotgun.
- 47:52So with four successes. He's aiming at you, itchy.
- 47:59He sees the blessed gun, and from horseback he fires his
- 48:05shotgun at you. And I do a lot of damage, but
- 48:11it's spread out over a distance. How far away are the two of you
- 48:14from each other? Probably, I mean I was close
- 48:16enough to grab his rifle so not that far.
- 48:19I'd say pretty close within probably 5 yards.
- 48:23Within 5 yards, this is going to hit both of you, even though
- 48:25he's aiming primarily at Itchy. Do we get to roll because
- 48:29there's a there's like an evasion where we get shot at,
- 48:31right? Yes there is.
- 48:34You can roll a finesse check. Just straight finesse.
- 48:38Straight finesse. Yahtzee 2 Snake Eyes. 1/3 and
- 48:42one that one rough. Divide 10 damage between the two
- 48:47of you. Well, OK, I got.
- 48:50I will let you guys split it up. We're both at full health, I
- 48:53think. Oh no, I'm not.
- 48:54We're not. You're not.
- 48:57What did you roll? 1, three and one?
- 49:00OK, one, three and one and I roll 2 snake eyes.
- 49:04Give me 6 of that and you take 4.
- 49:06OK. That's fine.
- 49:08Is this anything special or are these just bullets?
- 49:11Yeah, we're gonna get to that in a second.
- 49:13That's what I was important, yeah.
- 49:15Read of. As soon as this buckshot hits
- 49:19each of you, you are filled with this emptiness.
- 49:28You have never been hungrier in your fucking life.
- 49:31You've never been thirstier in your fucking life.
- 49:35And above table, for each round of combat that this goes on,
- 49:39it's going to leach one additional HP from you every
- 49:42round. Cool, cool.
- 49:46Shoot your shots, Kyle, I believe you're next.
- 49:50Yeah, so I rolled A2, sixes and A5 to shoot specifically the
- 49:54scales. That.
- 49:57He was holding. Great.
- 50:00I think with three successes, you do hit them.
- 50:04The scales are shot out of his hand.
- 50:08He does not look. They hit the I almost said
- 50:12grass, but it's not grass. It's just dirt.
- 50:16Not a small cloud of dust puffs up where they landed.
- 50:20It's a heavy thud. OK, but nothing, nothing else
- 50:24untoward happens. Nothing else untoward happens,
- 50:27not that you know of. All right, I have another idea
- 50:33that I'm going to do, so we'll we'll finish this out.
- 50:36Itchy. I got 1 success out of three to
- 50:42hit just to hit famine. Yeah, you don't hit you fire
- 50:49wide tragically. Yeah, I think you see blood
- 50:55start to like come out of Ichi's just the whole like torso.
- 51:02And I think Ichi looks over at Slick and he's just like Slick.
- 51:10It's like you got to go, you got to go, go.
- 51:18Before. One of us, he's got to make it
- 51:23out. Itchy if we don't stop this
- 51:26thing either of us from making it out.
- 51:28Slagging I will I will give you time give.
- 51:35Me time, I got an idea. Distract him for two seconds.
- 51:40I'm going Slick's going to Sprint forward and grab the
- 51:43scales. OK.
- 51:46Not a coy little smile, right? That means I did the right
- 51:50thing. Roll on his Armitage.
- 51:54Oh yes, I can do that. Come on, come on, come on.
- 51:57I got 1/5 unfortunately out of five dice.
- 52:02And how much HP do you have left, Kyle?
- 52:04I have 99. OK, let me see.
- 52:11Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.
- 52:13Is it first game attached? Isn't there a thing where I can
- 52:17spend bigger to roll higher on? Yes, there is.
- 52:22I would do that right now. Can I spend 2 of my vigor to
- 52:26roll two more dice? I don't give a fuck about vigor,
- 52:28that's a dump stat for me. I know do it.
- 52:34One more 5. One more 52 successes.
- 52:37You just barely get these scooped up OK before you feel
- 52:43one second that. Boots the face.
- 52:47How much about vigor can I spend?
- 52:48Can I not go below a certain number?
- 52:51It lowers your HP as you spend it.
- 52:55OK, so we we have to recalculate.
- 52:58Per that's fine. I don't I just don't remember
- 53:01how to so it's I think I I I went from 13 to 11.
- 53:05I think I lose 20. I just my vigor is my HP right,
- 53:10because I had 13 HP yeah. So I just I lose 2.
- 53:13OK, I'll lose 2 out for that this way.
- 53:14Yeah. OK, OK.
- 53:16So that's what I just want to know, like what my limit is if I
- 53:18want to spend more later, I'm not going to right now.
- 53:20Yeah. So as you scoop this scale up,
- 53:27you feel, I don't know, a heavy black hoof on your back.
- 53:34You're a little hunched over as you're scrambling for it, and
- 53:37it's going to deal you. Six points of damage right
- 53:41there. Yeah, it's going to deal you 6
- 53:44points of damage right there. I have a feeling you rolled like
- 53:47a 10 and you're just being merciful on me but that's fine.
- 53:50I'm totally down for this. Can I do a reaction or is that
- 53:53not a thing? Because I technically haven't
- 53:55shot yet but I have done an action so I don't know what like
- 53:57the action Academy is. I briefly removed us from combat
- 54:02because you don't really do stuff like that during combat in
- 54:05the basic cow puncher system, but we're we'll like re enter.
- 54:09The route If I'm being stepped on by a horse, I feel like I can
- 54:12get a point blank shot on this thing.
- 54:13I'm a. 100 percent, 100%, you can get a point blank shot off.
- 54:16Yeah, I just wanted to like. Let's go for the horse it.
- 54:20Reacted because of how quickly you moved or like it was
- 54:24essentially like a opportunity attack.
- 54:27I only have two shots I can hit with this thing.
- 54:29I'm putting one of them right into this horse.
- 54:31Maybe I'm going to put in the leg that's stepping on me, try
- 54:33and break the leg. Great.
- 54:34Just give me damage. You're close.
- 54:37Oh God, one Jesus Christ on AD 6.
- 54:46Do you add anything to that? Nope, my guns suck.
- 54:49They're meant for sneak attack shots before I use my big gun
- 54:53which deals 2D6 plus one, but my arm guns are just one D6.
- 54:57Yeah, you've grazed the leg. It's not comfortable.
- 54:59The horse like flicks its tail in irritation.
- 55:01That you've done. OK, I mean it's what it is.
- 55:05It's. Bleeding it It's bleeding.
- 55:07The horse is bleeding itchy. I think itchy.
- 55:12Am I a distraction at all? Can Ichi get any boons from me
- 55:15doing this or is the rider still focus on Ichi?
- 55:17The rider still focus on Ichi. All right, I think Ichi, I think
- 55:23he just kind of is going to use his movement to like climb out
- 55:27of the the riverbed and just weakly try and take a shot at
- 55:34well, do you think I should shoot Famine or the horse?
- 55:40You probably famine because you have a blessed weapon that can
- 55:42deal more damage. Oh yeah, true.
- 55:44All right, Well, I'm going to try to shoot Fannin then.
- 55:47Great, like if I could deal more damage I would have.
- 55:49I'm just trying to disable the source so that maybe we can get
- 55:51away. Roll your damage.
- 55:53He's not behind cover and he's not trying to dodge.
- 55:55He's not worried about you. You're a pest.
- 55:59That is going to be 10 total damage.
- 56:02Amazing. You hit him square in the chest.
- 56:06Thank God you needed that. You needed that so bad.
- 56:11Things are so dicey right now. Oh yeah.
- 56:16Yeah, Famine clutches at his chest, and you see the flies
- 56:21move to like, cover the wound, but there's like this smoldering
- 56:28purple, not quite an ooze, but not quite a smoke.
- 56:33An acre. An icker that drifts from this
- 56:37wound. The flies cover it trying to
- 56:41hold it in. Oh, Kyle, why do you look like
- 56:44you're in pain? No, I'm not in pain.
- 56:47I'm just trying to justify an action.
- 56:49But it's we'll, we'll get to it when I get back to my turn.
- 56:53That's fine. And famine fires again at you.
- 56:57Itchy 4 damage. 4. He fires a little wide, itchy.
- 57:04You're very lucky. 4 damage. I had four HP.
- 57:09Oh, that was it. Fuck.
- 57:11Itchy's dead. You're down.
- 57:14Yeah, is, I guess. Is there like a downed system or
- 57:18am I just dead? You're dead itchy.
- 57:33Can I have can I have like a a sea final?
- 57:39You're going to get a moment here in a second.
- 57:42OK, cool. I I told you I have plans.
- 57:46If you die, Flick, what do you do?
- 57:50I will tell you. Famine has two HPI.
- 57:53Really want to climb this horse and shoot Famine in the head
- 57:56with my other gun. And Famine has to reload.
- 57:59Because he has a two shot. I read the thing.
- 58:02Yeah, he has a two shot shotgun. I have two shots.
- 58:05I have one left do it and I'm on the ground next to his horse and
- 58:09I really want to shoot this guy in the head.
- 58:11Do it. What do you want me to roll?
- 58:13Am I rolling to hit? Am I rolling to climb the horse?
- 58:16What am I rolling? Or am I just rolling damage?
- 58:18Give me a finesse to climb the horse and as long as you get
- 58:22more than two successes, roll your damage.
- 58:24With one success, I'll make you aim.
- 58:27OK, I got nothing I can push with this.
- 58:32I have no more HP to spend. Wait, I want to do my thing.
- 58:37OK, will you let me do my thing to?
- 58:39Yeah, I'll let you just skip. The roll to climb the horse and
- 58:41do my thing. Do it, OK?
- 58:44Tell the people about your thing, Kyle.
- 58:48That's a different that's that's for the Patreon so slick.
- 58:57He's only got you know, he he's on death's door.
- 59:01He's been shot by the shotgun rightfully will probably die in
- 59:05the next couple moments. It based on the rules of the
- 59:07shotgun of taking one damage. He looks up at famine who just
- 59:13shot Ichi. He looks at Ichi.
- 59:15His right eye begins to glow blue.
- 59:19Whoa. And he looks up at Famine, and
- 59:23he channels this power that slows down time around him.
- 59:28And he's going to use like, the horse's leg, I imagine it's like
- 59:33curved slightly, like it's about to step.
- 59:35He's going to use that like a stepping stone and jump and like
- 59:38put his hand right against Famine's head and pull the
- 59:41trigger of his other other wrist gun.
- 59:44Roll your damage. I just have to beat a fucking
- 59:47two. It's AD 6.
- 59:48I can do that, right? God, just don't be another
- 59:50fucking one. Anything but A1 four, OK.
- 1:00:06Famine slumps, and that purple icker cascades out with this
- 1:00:12swarm of flies that is unending, seemingly unending.
- 1:00:17They're leaving from his mouth, from the wounds in his chest,
- 1:00:20from the wound in his head, from his eye sockets, which you now
- 1:00:23see are empty. And this icre flows back into
- 1:00:27you, slick. And this icre flows back into
- 1:00:30the earth and itchy, it flows back into you as well.
- 1:00:34Whatever damage he had done to you is undone.
- 1:00:38Whoa. Including ichies.
- 1:00:41Including ichies. The grass sprouts so very
- 1:00:45quickly it's like watching a nature documentary.
- 1:00:47When they speed it up, they show you a time lapse.
- 1:00:51Life comes back, albeit a little bit slowly, and Arthur, as
- 1:00:57you're riding and you're pushing, you feel the dirt and
- 1:01:02the dust turn to grass under your horse's feet.
- 1:01:05And that is where we will end the session.
- 1:01:07I'm. Trying to talk it out.
- 1:01:11I'm trying to help you through your days.
- 1:01:15Even now I sit here. Supporting.
- 1:01:18You before be a patient and maybe one day there'll be a
- 1:01:20breakthrough. There'll be a breakthrough.
- 1:01:23I believe it. Three days go right before you
- 1:01:32call. When you're home, you're always
- 1:01:34made it off. You don't want to be president.
- 1:01:37You don't want. To make changes, excuses that
- 1:01:39you were not that strong. You got to hope for the both of
- 1:01:42US1 will never recover from the steady stand up tall.
- 1:01:48They look at you and on, and that's tears for the fall.
- 1:01:58When I'm the one who's always having a word made for apologies
- 1:02:04that you never can say. Oh, you're the one thing that's
- 1:02:10never changed. Oh, I required everybody in my
- 1:02:16life.
