Camp Second Chance #0: Intake Day · DiceSized

0:08
Welcome to die sized friend Sav here.
0:11
Ready to take this table on an adventure that requires new
0:14
skills, new rules, and new characters too?
0:17
This is Camp Second Chance, a four part homebrewed summer camp
0:23
style story that uses the Role for Shoes rules system to take
0:26
players through trials and tribulations as they work
0:29
together to solve problems and hopefully save the day.
0:33
All right, my luminous, legendary, lively table of loved
0:37
ones, please introduce yourselves.
0:40
Hita G. Hey, it's GI, am here to be
0:43
creatively involved with my lovely family and I'm ready to
0:48
what was it? I get to be a camp.
0:49
Yeah, I did. You hear me back there?
0:51
I I physically reacted to camp Second Chance.
0:55
This is camp second chance. Camp second chance.
0:58
Oh wow, I think I'm going to make myself right at home.
1:01
I'm so glad to hear it. All right, Rob, how about you?
1:05
Hi guys. God I.
1:06
Feel again, I feel Dumber on the side, but this is me Rob, and
1:10
not your dance today, but I will be your attendee to camp.
1:14
Second chance. It sounds both bright and dark
1:18
in a well named I would say as is my character.
1:22
He's not fully shaped right now, but can I give my character name
1:25
right now? Sure.
1:27
Joey Trombone. Couldn't help himself.
1:31
Couldn't help myself. Sweet, can't we?
1:32
Yeah, I mean, I'm so excited to go to camp.
1:34
Camp is so excited to go to you. Is it band?
1:36
Camp. Camp's what you make it, I
1:39
think. That's fair.
1:41
It's not band camp. He's just in the corner, just
1:43
playing trombone. You're.
1:44
About to make it being. Fun fact about my character, I
1:46
don't actually play trombone. Anyways, that's enough about
1:48
him. Why?
1:49
This isn't it. Never mind.
1:51
All right, how about you, Maya? Hey, it's Maya.
1:53
You can call me Maya. I'm very excited, mostly because
1:56
a little birdie told me that we get worksheets and I'm so
2:01
excited. I have many ideas floating out
2:04
of my head and I can't wait to put them into structure.
2:07
Amazing. It's true.
2:08
It's true. I I need worksheets to help
2:10
today's players keep track of their skills, which we will talk
2:14
about more in a minute. Whoa, hey, Camp second chance.
2:19
Camp, Second chance. Camp, second chance.
2:23
Camp Second chance. Camping with my friends, I think
2:27
they're my friends. They're kind of just people that
2:29
are at camp at the same time. Camp.
2:32
Second chance camp. Incredible.
2:40
Off to the hottest of starts. I do want to say Rob has been
2:43
mulling over a character as he just shared.
2:45
I didn't share anything about the story with my friends today,
2:50
but I did let them. Know I really like the name Joey
2:52
Trombone. I don't know.
2:53
I love it that they could start creating characters that sort
2:56
of, I don't know, tickled something in them.
2:58
So if you've never heard of Roll for Shoes, then you're in luck.
3:02
It's one of the most straightforward rule systems
3:04
I've ever encountered, and the cherry on top is that it makes
3:07
for really hilarious role play, something this table clearly
3:12
can't resist. But before I dive into the rules
3:15
of this whole thing, let me first set the scene for you all.
3:22
The bus smells like vinyl and regret.
3:26
Up ahead, at the end of the seemingly endless gravel
3:29
driveway, you see a wooden sign that reads CAMP Second Chance.
3:35
The paint is fresh, the wood is not, and the counselor is waving
3:40
way too enthusiastically as the bus pulls to a stop.
3:44
Welcome to Intake day campers. Wow.
3:49
Hell yes. My parents made me come here.
3:52
Oh boy, why? Does it smell so weird in here?
3:55
Probably because you haven't showered in what seems like
3:56
days. I have showered in at least a
3:59
day. It begins.
4:01
OK, all right. So any thoughts?
4:05
I think I'm already in a state of rigored nostalgia.
4:09
We will call of being on the school bus on the way to some
4:12
place that I don't necessarily have the I didn't make the full
4:16
decision to go. Definitely, definitely probably
4:18
not hear of fully your own accord.
4:20
I've never been to conversion camp.
4:22
I'm kind of excited. All camps are conversion camps
4:26
of some kind. This is true.
4:28
This is true. That's.
4:29
True, you show up in with one set of skills and you leave with
4:32
another. You know, I came prepared with
4:33
the with the name, and now I'm finding my brain absolutely
4:36
empty of any other response besides Joey Trombone is here at
4:40
camp. He's going to find himself, I
4:42
think. Oh.
4:43
We're going to pick on that one. I.
4:45
Can't wait. OK, now about those rules.
4:49
Here's how Role for shoes works. Everyone starts with just one
4:54
skill. Do anything one.
4:57
If you want to try to accomplish something, you'll roll a number
5:00
of 6 sided dice equal to your skill level.
5:03
If the sum of your role is higher than the DC, or in some
5:06
cases an opposing role, then you succeed in doing what you wanted
5:09
to do. Generally, we're all familiar
5:11
with this concept. If you roll all sixes, however,
5:15
you don't just succeed, you also gain a new skill specific to
5:19
what you just did, one level higher than the skill you used
5:23
to do it. On the other hand, if you fail a
5:25
check and miss the DC threshold, you gain 1 XP.
5:30
Your XP can be used to change future dice rolls into a six for
5:34
advancement purposes only, allowing you to cash them in to
5:37
gain new skills and reach higher levels.
5:40
In other words, this XP can't be used to help you succeed on
5:43
ability checks, but it can grant you new abilities.
5:47
Roll all sixes and advance your skills.
5:50
Fail a check and you'll gain XP. Does that make sense so far?
5:53
Yes, yes, I'm so excited to roll 666 at conversion camp.
6:00
Inspired by Worlds Beyond Number and the fact that this table is
6:03
full of real life support characters, I'm incorporating
6:07
one extra rule to increase your odds and reward your generosity.
6:11
So if you have a skill that can theoretically help another
6:14
player succeed in whatever they're attempting to do, you
6:16
can lend them a hand and role play accordingly to add +1 to
6:21
their role. Only one assist per role attempt
6:23
is allowed please. XOXO.
6:27
Fully acknowledging that you can bully me.
6:31
Those are the rules of role for shoes players.
6:34
Any questions? So this is a yellow bus.
6:41
Questions about the rules? George, I'm very excited to play
6:47
a tabletop system where we get experience based on technically
6:51
failure. What is?
6:52
That Yep. So if you aren't able to succeed
6:55
at doing what you want to do, you do get sort of to pocket XP
6:58
to save for later. Love that that can be cashed in
7:01
to change dice rolls into a six, which is what you need to gain a
7:04
skill. And XP specifically adds a pip
7:07
right? Like it adds just one one number
7:10
to whatever you rolled. Like let's say I have a 2D6
7:13
skill and I roll 5 and a six and then I need 2 sixes.
7:18
I use one XP to bump that 5 to a six.
7:21
Yes, thank you for clarifying. I would need 2 XP to bump A4 to
7:25
A6, correct? Continuing on.
7:26
Yep, so to level up and gain a new skill, you need all sixes.
7:30
If you are near all sixes, you have a couple sixes and 1/4.
7:34
Like Rob said, you can cash an XP to turn that 4 into a six.
7:38
As a reminder, you cannot use your XP to try and pass a check.
7:41
It's only if you'd like to gain a new skill that you can use
7:43
your XP. Got it.
7:45
Cool. Doesn't alter the outcome.
7:46
Got it. So we alter the dice.
7:49
New skill obtaining. I can't remember if this was
7:52
optional and I this is your choice.
7:54
Is XP shareable? Can I lend XP to boost another
7:58
person's skill to you know, I think that's a good role play
8:00
moment because I could inspire them to learn a lesson from that
8:03
moment, even if they fail or success.
8:05
I was going to say no. But I but I just did a really
8:08
good job of persuading you. It's covered in the help action,
8:11
isn't it? Because you would give them one
8:13
XP anyways? Yeah.
8:14
Well, well, the help action would help help someone succeed
8:18
on a check that they're trying to to do.
8:21
I'm trying to take an action. That's where your help action
8:23
would come into play. Sharing XP would help your
8:26
fellow table mates create a new skill.
8:29
Unless we have to be friends. Friends if you want to give away
8:32
XP. Yeah, I think, I think there's
8:34
there's some sort of truth there to learning from failure from
8:37
the friends around you for experience.
8:39
But I think it'd be fun to run into the situation and put it up
8:42
to a role and see if. Yeah, maybe we see when we get
8:45
there. Yeah, cool.
8:46
I want to see how creatively do you think you could help someone
8:49
else potentially learn a new skill if they're just on the
8:52
cusp. I also think potentially you'll
8:55
all have plenty of XP. So OK, now I'm going to pass out
8:58
your worksheets, which will help you use the Rule for Shoes rules
9:03
system to keep track of your skills.
9:05
It also has a little bit of space to jot on any notes about
9:08
your character that you might want to keep track of, because
9:10
we'll get into that next. Fun.
9:13
Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet Worksheet worksheet
9:16
Oh, it has a table. I've been waiting to write down
9:19
the name Joey Trombone. Oh my gosh, Did you make this
9:23
with Campbell? Obviously.
9:26
Wow, wow, wow. So for our listeners, these
9:31
worksheets say welcome to camp Second Chance.
9:33
They've got space to jot down name about their character,
9:37
skill name and skill level, as well as a little space to keep
9:39
track of XP. As soon as ink hit paper, I know
9:45
him. I can't wait to figure out what.
9:48
I just can't wait. What?
9:49
Second chance. What did we fail that now we're
9:50
here? I know.
9:51
It's such a slap in the face, like a real good back.
9:54
It doesn't matter. It's just the voice.
9:55
You're moving forward. OK.
9:58
OK. OK whoever you're I still.
9:59
Don't know what it is. OK, goody.
10:01
Hey. Hey, this is Joey Trump, but I
10:03
don't know if that's about it. You so quickly go British.
10:09
Hey, Joey Trombone. Y'all are in for some skill
10:15
building. Whoa, yeah, those fat words.
10:22
OK, now that we've set the scene and covered the rules, it's time
10:26
to meet the characters of this absurd story.
10:29
Gee, Maya and Rob were given very vague prompts this week to
10:33
begin brainstorming a teenage troublemaker, but now that they
10:36
know a little bit more about their setting, we'll solidify
10:39
some details and get to know each of them a little bit
10:41
better. I'll never pass up an
10:43
opportunity to shine a spotlight on the way their brains bring
10:46
characters to life. We'll start with a few questions
10:49
and brainstorm together before eventually demonstrating the
10:52
role for Shoes Rules System by attempting to solidify one skill
10:56
that they'll bring with them to camp.
10:58
Who wants to start? Please tell us your character's
11:01
name, age, favorite hobbies, and why they were sent to camp.
11:05
Second Chance AKA What's their brand of trouble?
11:10
I'll start. Sure.
11:12
Hey, it's me, Joey Trombone. Favorite hobbies?
11:16
Well, age 19. Been held back a few times.
11:20
Once in kindergarten, once recently.
11:22
Not to my own devices, not to my own fault.
11:25
I'll, I'll say that either way, I found myself here because, you
11:30
know, I do have some hobbies that involve things such as
11:33
crime, but it's just it's amongst the hobbies that I've
11:37
tried. Dad's a con, Ma's an Angel owns
11:41
a flower shop. No, I know a lot about flowers.
11:43
I'm not going to tell anybody. I know a lot about flowers, but
11:46
Joey Trombone, he, he reluctantly loves a garden,
11:50
though he would say that he's not one who loves nature.
11:53
So we'll see how he does at camp.
11:55
Second Chance. But did he pick up smoking?
11:59
That was the second hold back. I'm an old sounding 19.
12:03
OK, maybe I'll, I'll try to pinch it up.
12:05
That's perfect. Joey.
12:07
Joey. Oh, everywhere.
12:08
I should say. Joey Trombone's real name is
12:10
actually Joey Spieler. But when the kids in band class
12:13
start calling them Joey Trombone because the trombone's always
12:16
there and Joey wasn't. Because Joey favorite hobby
12:19
skipping band when they started calling him Joey Trombone sounds
12:23
like Jack of all trades. He'll take that.
12:26
But more than anything, he just doesn't like the name Spieler
12:28
because it means con man and that's what his dad is, and he's
12:31
ashamed of it. Let's keep on trucking.
12:34
Oh my gosh. OK, Joey.
12:36
So any more specifics about your brand of trouble besides what it
12:40
sounds like is through NC and skipping class?
12:44
Well, there, there was the one big night, the casino night they
12:47
call it, you know, as they do with in high school, they you
12:50
have a fundraiser and when there's money and there's
12:54
craziness flying around my dad, it was, it was a night that I
12:58
was going to make a name for myself and I did, just not the
13:00
one I wanted. Q Trombone sound.
13:07
Yeah, Maz, not happy about that one.
13:09
And that's why I'm here. Make my proud.
13:11
I don't know if Camp Second Chance is ready for Joey
13:14
Trombone. It's gonna be so much trouble.
13:16
If Joey Trombone is ready for. Joey Trombone So much trombone
13:20
music in this Q George Trombone knows this here.
13:24
Also major truancy. Just kind of your vibe.
13:29
I mean, what? What can I say?
13:30
I'm here for a lot of things. Just straight up talking about
13:32
me in high school, yes. Yes, I did.
13:35
I didn't realize that halfway through this character.
13:39
The inspiration is the inspiration.
13:41
Come on up. Who wants to go next?
13:45
I'll go next. Hi I'm goody 2 shoes and I I'm a
13:54
4.0 student. I am a class valedictorian and
13:58
I've really done everything I can to be the very best version
14:03
of myself that I can be. And I don't really know why I'm
14:07
on this bus other than when I gave my valedictorian speech, I
14:13
did try to incite a revolution, but it was just, it was a good
14:17
revolution. We need to change.
14:19
And there's just something in me and I love anarchy.
14:23
I love anarchy. But I know, I know that I should
14:26
be. Goody 2 shoes, not Betty.
14:29
No shoes. Keep your shoes on.
14:30
Goody keep your shoes on. Both of them, especially at
14:33
camp. If even if I take one off.
14:35
All hell. All hell breaks loose.
14:37
The world's on fire. How about yours?
14:41
No Velcro shoes for you? Oh, you got to be triple laced.
14:45
Buttoned did we go to the same school?
14:46
Because I I want to know if I if I heard this manifest of speech.
14:50
No, I don't think any of you have gone to the same school.
14:53
Maybe you have heard stories or rumblings from neighboring
14:57
districts or schools across the county.
15:00
Or they arrested me. They did walk me out and they
15:02
found all my my little pocketbook, which I do keep.
15:06
Gasoline matches, kerosene, pretty much anything that will
15:09
set on fire. Oh, dear.
15:11
Oh, but I get good grades. OK, Zen.
15:16
Chill. Just my inspiration, Zen.
15:22
Deconstructed. Yes.
15:25
Yeah. But yeah, my character's direct
15:27
and extremely manipulative with a little dash of condescending
15:31
in there. Seemingly helpful, but always
15:34
has a another agenda to your motive.
15:36
And I would say that the troublemaking type is chaos.
15:39
It is OK, You know you got a calm thing on the shelf and just
15:43
explodes randomly. So is the goody exterior, is it
15:47
a front or are you really trying to keep it at Bay?
15:49
It is truly trying to keep it at Bay, but it's a love and a
15:52
passion or that other self that is just simmering.
15:57
Let's hope we don't bubble. Over.
15:59
I mean, I wouldn't mind it. Sounds like it.
16:03
OK, Maya's turned. Hey.
16:09
I'm Monte Stera, I'm 17, a junior looking really forward to
16:14
going to college after next year.
16:17
I come from a very well known family, the Steras.
16:21
If you haven't heard of them, look them up.
16:22
We're great. I'm like super uppity and posh.
16:26
I know what's best, and I will tell you, I throw parties when
16:30
my family's out of town. They're the best parties in the
16:33
town. Like if you are anyone, you are
16:35
at Monte Stiro's party. So yeah, I'm a professional
16:39
party thrower, really good at it.
16:43
I can't. And yeah, if you're lucky you'll
16:47
be invited. So really not looking forward to
16:51
Second Chance camp. I don't really know why I'm sent
16:55
here. My parents.
16:56
Such a power move just did not call it camp second chance.
17:01
Second Chance Camp. I'm just simply not dressed for
17:06
this. I do not own anything outdoorsy.
17:09
So miss me with that. Miss me with that.
17:14
You can borrow my shoes. Take a Take a I would rather
17:17
die. My best friend ever is my live
17:25
in nanny Patrice, her and I her and I plan the most spectacular
17:31
parties and this last party, it was a real rager.
17:35
I'm so sorry you had to miss it. But yeah, my parents did come
17:39
home because my little brother had the flu on his school trip
17:43
and they had to come home early. So I did get busted and I guess
17:46
that's maybe possibly why I'm here at Second Chance Camp and
17:52
you can all speak now. That's fucked.
17:55
Wait. Why did you get in trouble?
17:59
I my parents caught me throwing up rager rager.
18:02
OK, is this a one time thing or do you have a history of?
18:05
Oh, I've been throwing parties every time they leave.
18:08
So my dad's a big business guy. I can't say what business
18:11
because I did sign an NDA when I was born, but yeah, it's, it's
18:18
really, it's legit. So he's gone all the time and my
18:21
mom just goes with him because like, I don't know, they're like
18:24
married or whatever. But this last one, my brother
18:27
got sick. He goes with them because he's
18:29
still a baby or whatever. And so he had the flu and they
18:33
came home early and they showed up and there was like a party
18:35
happening. And they're like, oh, why is the
18:37
party happening? And I was like, mom, dad, all
18:40
socialites need to throw parties.
18:43
Like, I have to have the best people at our house.
18:45
Like I'm doing the most for this family.
18:47
And just no one understands me. Yeah.
18:51
Except Patrice. Patrice gets me.
18:53
Patrice and I are so tight. She came from Russia when I was
18:55
like 3. I don't speak Russian.
18:58
She did try. I did not learn it.
19:01
Does she attend these parties? Yeah, She actually helps me
19:03
coordinate. Yeah.
19:04
She also didn't know that my parents were coming home that
19:07
night. It was again the flu hit and it
19:09
was just there's no coming back from that, you know, But you
19:12
know, like I tell myself I'm going to second chance camp, but
19:17
every socialite needs a good scandal.
19:19
So I think this is going to be good PR in the long run.
19:22
It's. Going to really put you on the
19:22
map. It will, I think so The most
19:25
important people were there. What college did you get into?
19:29
I haven't applied yet, but I'm really looking forward to going
19:32
to a really prestigious college. Prestigious college?
19:35
That's the best college to get into.
19:37
I know, yeah. I'm hoping that the creation of
19:40
my secret society will just tip me over the top of my
19:43
applications. Oh shit, did I say that out
19:45
loud? Don't say anything, OK?
19:48
Pinky promise. OK, I'd love if you do go both
19:52
back up, but back up just a little bit.
19:54
You're you're kind of crowding my bus seat.
19:56
Yeah, no, you're right. Personal bubbles in space are
19:58
very important. Did did you you say that you
20:01
have a secret society? I did, but I didn't mean to, so
20:05
maybe don't talk about it. I I have a secret society.
20:09
Do you want to read my manifesto?
20:10
I what don't. He's asked me 3 times.
20:14
Yeah. There's nothing wrong with
20:17
having a manifesto. Don't take this.
20:18
Wrong. I like that I gave you notes.
20:21
These are notes. Well, I mean it's.
20:23
Just a bunch of smudges and I think this is spit.
20:25
I have. I haven't learned handwriting.
20:28
Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't look like the type
20:30
that I could read your handwriting, so if you would
20:33
have. Beautiful.
20:34
Handwriting. What did I just say?
20:35
Oh, his. You could read it, that's your
20:38
problem. Not well.
20:39
Actually, I don't know if I can read in this game, in the
20:41
mechanics or whatever have. You rolled for that skill yet?
20:43
I haven't, actually. We're in high school.
20:46
I guess I could probably read. What does that say?
20:49
I read there's a graffiti on the back of the buff seat that's.
20:51
Oh jeez, I really. Don't want booty skill to be
20:55
read? No, no.
20:56
But we just. Can we just assume that I can
20:59
read please? That is the perfect segue.
21:03
Thanks guys. Okay, I'm so fond of these
21:05
troublemakers already. Are you ready to try your luck
21:08
at gaining your very first skill?
21:10
Absolutely. I would love nothing more I.
21:13
Can tell I'm so, so pleased and so thrilled.
21:17
OK, who wants to go first? You will essentially tell me
21:20
what sort of skill you think your character would arrive at
21:23
camp with, and then you'll back it up with some narrative RP
21:27
about how they might have attempted to gain this skill,
21:30
and then we'll roll to see if you succeed.
21:33
Highest GPA go first. I guess I but yeah, whatever
21:38
man, stop looking at me like that.
21:39
You have buggy eyes. It's the glasses, they're just
21:43
really thick legs as I take my glasses off.
21:45
It's the smallest eyes you've ever seen.
21:48
That's. Why put them back on?
21:49
Put them back on. Put the glasses back.
21:51
I would love to bring the energy of chaos and and the skill I
21:59
would like to bring. No, no, not chaos.
22:03
Not chaos. I would like to bring the energy
22:06
of persuasion in some form, and I would like to be good at camp
22:12
games. Oh OK, good at camp games.
22:16
Can I? Can I make that more specific
22:17
somehow? Sure, let's hear it.
22:20
I'd like to be good at non physical camp games.
22:26
OK, we can call this skill. Puzzler, the puzzle solver or
22:32
the problem? Puzzling.
22:33
I like puzzle solving. OK, do puzzles feel like a skill
22:38
you'd want to be good at or is that not close enough to games?
22:40
I think puzzles works perfectly. I think I'm going to do puzzles.
22:44
OK, so you will roll for do anything one if you get a six
22:47
you will be able to gain puzzles 2 OK if you do not get a six you
22:53
will gain XP in this case only. OK, knew I should have brought
22:58
my puzzle from home. That's 6.
23:02
And we have our first game. Oh my gosh.
23:05
Amazing. OK, where's your trombone, Joey?
23:07
I've never. Learned to play it.
23:09
What did I say? I got the name because I don't
23:11
play the trombone because I skip band class.
23:13
That's the whole point. It's just really confusing.
23:15
Like if you're going to be trying to create like a brand, I
23:17
think you should probably. The whole thing on a metal level
23:20
is that I am a Jack of all trades, but I'm never going to
23:23
be a master of anything because here's the things we are.
23:26
I am always running away from it.
23:28
Hey, you guys want to see a cool trick If you slide the bit of
23:31
this book this way in my manifesto and then you take the
23:33
binding and you pull it here, you get the little and the
23:36
little, the lighter pops out. Whoa, don't bring your
23:40
manifesto. No.
23:41
The flame is huge. I, I, I tried arson for a while.
23:45
It wasn't for me. It's not really about the arson,
23:47
it's that fire destroys everything.
23:50
Oh. I hadn't thought about that.
23:53
I just did it because it kind of kind of got your attention.
23:55
I mean, that's and not what I wanted at all, but that's OK.
23:59
I think revolutions typically want attention, right?
24:01
I mean, I'd just prefer it be done, but if I have to be the
24:05
enactor of the change, I will bring hell on earth, OK?
24:10
Wow OK so good here you officially have puzzles too.
24:14
Incredible. What a way to start this little
24:17
adventure. Since you're bringing this skill
24:21
with you to camp Goody, can you tell me a little bit about how
24:24
you might have developed the skill prior to getting here?
24:28
I think puzzles are the only place where I don't want to set
24:31
everything on fire or blow things up or, you know, convince
24:36
people to riot. I, I think it's a, it's a good
24:39
place for me to put things together and not tear them
24:40
apart. And so I've done every single
24:44
puzzle that exists in my city. I just, I had a library.
24:51
Wow, in a puzzle library. Just for puzzles.
24:53
Just for puzzles. They know you well there.
24:55
No. Oh, I stole them.
24:58
Oh, what am I making? Yes, yes, theft.
25:03
Maybe we'll try for that scale next.
25:05
Hey, I was raised with a morally Gray, Gray background, so maybe
25:08
you were too. I didn't say that.
25:10
You can't put it past us, right? I mean.
25:12
Morals only get you as far as they do.
25:15
That's what I'm saying. Like my dad always says, you got
25:18
to know the person so you can take all take everything that
25:21
person's worth and their morals. Go away.
25:23
Would you like to attempt to explain what skill you're coming
25:27
to camp with next? Yes, I think I am ready.
25:31
Would you allow me to go for something like flowery?
25:35
Because I think I'm good with flowers and my dad's also good
25:37
at conning people. So I think I'm I would, I would
25:40
love if my skill could be flowery.
25:43
That's two skills. I would love if my skill could
25:45
be flowery fine. Because you'll need to describe
25:49
what your skill does. Fine, well I think it it helps
25:52
me with flowers and helps me con people. 2.
25:55
Skills. That's fine.
25:58
OK. I would like to con people.
26:01
OK, you want to roll for. Con yeah, My my dad, I think is
26:04
he's like I said, like I said, I got a bad reputation.
26:08
I don't like the last name is Peeler because my old man, he's,
26:11
he's a gambling addict, OK, He's a little bit of a card shark.
26:15
Has he tried puzzles? He should, because he can't
26:17
fucking stay away from the table, am I right?
26:19
I wonder if any casinos have puzzles?
26:21
Oh, they should. Competitive puzzling.
26:23
No, I I would. No, they don't.
26:26
No. I would also go for cards
26:28
because that's how my dad conned people's cards.
26:32
OK sweet, would you like to roll to see if we can develop the
26:34
skill cards? I would love to all.
26:37
Right. Roll 1D6.
26:39
You're rolling for do anything one and if you succeed with A6.
26:44
That's just A5. So close you can bring all your
26:49
love for cards and counting people to camp with you, but you
26:53
won't be able to level that skill up quite yet.
26:56
Do does he get XP? Like my dad said, I can't do it
26:58
with these fumbling fingers. That's why he put me in band
27:00
class, said Joey. Learn the guitar.
27:02
Just fingers will be nimbled then.
27:03
Then they'll teach you the deck, I'll teach you the bottom deal,
27:06
I'll teach you to the top deal. And then maybe even it's the
27:09
second deal, middle deal, but you know, I never got there.
27:12
You chose trombone, which is arguably the least fingers
27:15
needed. For well.
27:17
Fingers. I knew I wouldn't be there.
27:19
OK, I'm trying to figure out what I'm good at and I know it's
27:23
not trombone so why even try? Have you tried overthrowing your
27:32
government? I think that's a tuba, isn't it?
27:33
Or is that a Trump? No, that's a trombone.
27:35
You want it to be Johnny Trombone.
27:36
It's a trombone. That was really that was really
27:39
good. I don't.
27:40
I don't go to band class so I wouldn't know.
27:44
Oh, amazing. So sorry, Joey.
27:46
All right, Monty, what's killer you hoping to bring to camp?
27:50
I am hoping to bring Hostess with the mostess.
27:53
Wow, I love it. OK, yeah, I'm hoping that this
27:55
skill helps to make camp more bearable and maybe I can just,
28:00
you know, give them a little insight on how to, like, throw a
28:04
group shenanigan. You know I'm coining that term a
28:07
group shenanigan. Love it.
28:09
Should we call the skill group shenanigan?
28:11
No, I think Hostess with mostess.
28:13
I'm in, I'm into it. Let's see.
28:15
Roll 1D6 for roll anything one or do anything one. 11.
28:22
You know I got caught in one so. I love how the stupidest skill
28:26
got the skill. I got blessed due to puzzles.
28:31
Puzzles can like not just like, you know, piece a puzzle
28:33
together, but you can do Rubik's Cube.
28:34
You can do like, you know what camp they have those like you're
28:37
in a team and you have to figure out how to go through.
28:38
It's slowly in survivor mode. I was like, I'm preparing for
28:41
the the last game and it's going to be a freaking puzzle into it.
28:45
All right, Monty, so sad that you won't be able to bring your
28:48
Hostess with the mostest skills with you to camp, but you will
28:51
bring all your knowledge and have plenty more chances to see
28:55
if you can advance those skills. Joey as well.
28:58
And we got a couple of XP points, right?
29:00
Yeah. You know you could toss an extra
29:02
1 on top because like what I mean it's on first scale.
29:04
Feels really bad though, my dad good.
29:09
You see, you see a motorcycle bull up next to the the bus.
29:12
It's like Joey, you forgot your lunch.
29:15
Oh, Joey Ma, the flowers are going to will.
29:18
It's pasta, you know that. The whole shop is filled with
29:21
that special kind of flour that we spayed and paid all of our
29:24
money for that the misters are going to go out.
29:28
You throw it, Joey, you ditch your what?
29:31
OK, I'll tell you, get home and check out the misters.
29:35
I love you, Joey. Say it back.
29:37
I love you Ma. Check out the misters.
29:41
The misters. The misters.
29:43
Tell me about the misters. Well, because mom got a special
29:46
type of flower because she's really into flowers.
29:48
And I mean, she wasn't into flowers last month, but now
29:50
she's into flowers. And so we've been learning all
29:52
about them and she bought all these fucking flowers and we
29:55
don't know what to do with the fucking flowers that really,
29:58
fuck, I really dig all the water, man.
30:00
I don't know. I'll keep you in mind for my
30:02
next party. I could use a florist.
30:05
Oh, that's actually so The thing is, I.
30:07
Could solve all of your problems.
30:09
The thing is that your name actually sounds like a lot like
30:11
the favorite flower. Yeah, yeah, Montecera.
30:15
Oh. That's not a flower, but thank
30:18
you. I was named after a cylindron.
30:20
It's not. A skill I have yet so.
30:23
Yeah, it came to me in a dream when I was staring at my
30:25
Monstera plant. Oh, that's what I was thinking
30:29
about. Yeah, yeah.
30:30
Could I give a speech? No.
30:32
Dear God, no, because you're going to, you're going to one up
30:36
my secret society with your wife, I just said.
30:38
Your name back at you. You did.
30:44
I'm feeling inspired. Joey and Monty, do you want to
30:48
try to roll to bring a different skill to the table?
30:52
I would owe a different skill. I would go for flowers this time
30:56
because I maybe, maybe this this inspires me to read the rest of
30:59
my book that has all these. You're gonna roll 1D6, do
31:02
anything one and we'll see if you can roll A6.
31:04
That's a three. Bummer.
31:07
I would like to try to roll from memory, OK, because every good
31:10
socialite remembers everything about everyone at their parties.
31:13
All right, I love it. No, I don't want to.
31:18
Are we got a six? OK, Monty, with the six we've
31:22
got. Remember your mother from No
31:24
shit. I'll remember your mom for my
31:26
next party. I'll remember your mother.
31:29
I don't. You do 1 scene of that access
31:32
and everybody's on. IT bus ride sucks.
31:35
Hey, Monty's got memory skill level 2.
31:39
It's Yeah, Well, yeah. Well, the Joey Trombone's got 2
31:42
XP. What do you got?
31:43
Joey, you're going to have to pick another skill and try and
31:47
bring it to camp. It just seems fair at this point
31:49
that you all get one. My dad's a, my dad's a con Maza,
31:55
maza maza. Like flowers.
31:56
I don't know what you want. What is?
31:58
What do you want? Isn't it?
32:01
Don't answer the question too hard.
32:02
You might want to blow everything up though.
32:03
You could try to read Roll for reading.
32:07
Only if it can be read people too.
32:10
It could be read people, period. And to be honest, it doesn't
32:15
seem like Joey would actually be very good at that.
32:19
No, but what? If you roll for trombone and get
32:23
a six. I don't want to roll for
32:24
trombone. It's a whole character.
32:25
It's a little trombone at the. End.
32:27
Do you have a trombone with you at camp?
32:30
I know I'd like to. I'd like to roll for whistling.
32:35
All right, why? Because it's it's it's helping
32:38
me practice the purse in the lips thing that you need to do
32:41
for trombone. The ambisher.
32:43
The ambisher. Yeah, that's a word I know now
32:45
because I'm. I'm practicing whistling.
32:48
All right, roll for whistling. You're going to roll 1D6.
32:52
Do anything one and we'll see if you can get a six.
32:57
That's a one. I want so badly to give Joey a
33:01
skill to arrive at camp. I got 3 XP I get right here.
33:05
I'll roll one more time for. Let's see, let's think about
33:07
this. What our players don't know is
33:09
that XP will not roll over into the next session.
33:12
I should really fucking use that.
33:13
I just got to roll better than A1, don't I?
33:17
OK, so so seeing as seeing as this can't go badly and it it
33:20
didn't go badly on casino night because let's be honest, I was
33:23
hoping to put this on the back burner, but there was a bit of a
33:26
demolition aspect to the whole night.
33:28
You got to make a distraction somehow.
33:29
So demolitions. That's a four and I'll use two
33:33
of my XP to make it a six baby. Oh.
33:36
My gosh, you. Are my best friend.
33:40
I mean, I know how to make things go boom.
33:42
I don't know how to fucking read or do anything else, but I know
33:47
how to fucking make something go boom.
33:49
Has anyone ever contracted you for authority buildings?
33:52
What? What does contract mean?
33:53
I don't know. I don't know big words longer
33:55
than 5. All right.
33:57
Joey Trombone was going to be a sweet man who liked flowers, and
34:00
now he's. He can.
34:02
It's second chance. Camp Camp.
34:04
Second chance. That's right, you're right.
34:06
That was my character creation moment.
34:08
You're right. Thank you for saving that for
34:09
me. It's giving art.
34:12
You know Joey, your mother will always show up when you need.
34:16
It. I could really twist this into
34:19
something gold. I feel like you fucking are
34:21
going to and I hate it. Could you make me something?
34:28
I could try. OK.
34:32
Oddly sexual I don't. Know what's going on?
34:34
Beaming. Fuck, that's.
34:37
What I was? Going to say beaming at you.
34:40
Though it's the tough in this case I had to face.
34:45
I'm worried he's determined to anarchy don't follow his.
34:53
Lead. Initially I was going to be a
34:56
character like that. Initially I was going to be.
34:57
Then I was going to be Glinda, and now I'm like Bach.
34:59
What? The.
35:00
Fuck happened. I hate this guy.
35:03
That's what Bach. Is saying to himself right now.
35:06
Am I eligible? Maybe you'll be good at
35:12
brooming. Brooming.
35:16
I'm gonna broom. I'm gonna try it.
35:17
Well, I'm gonna try to fly. I'm gonna definitely try to make
35:19
magic a thing for sure. Like, at least like some sort of
35:22
partial subtle kind of magic, right?
35:24
I don't know. I wanted to buy Gravity.
35:29
Don't we all? Yeah.
35:30
None of you, none of you can fly as of yet.
35:33
I can't imagine a world where any should be.
35:35
Flying. You can't fly.
35:39
Everyone deserves a chance. But I can do demolitions as a
35:43
high schooler. Yeah, I love this game.
35:46
Fucking puzzles, I mean. It's not that hard, you just
35:49
have to find a load bearing beam.
35:52
We've had a lot of house renovations.
35:54
The new guest house just went up.
35:56
I learned a lot from the construction worker.
35:57
Yeah. I mean, yeah, you learn a lot
36:00
from open concept, am I right? They were contracted.
36:04
Oh, that's what I got it. Got it.
36:07
Context, Context. I was into a context when you
36:09
said that, so my brain just misfired.
36:12
OK, Goody is arriving at camp with puzzles, Joey with
36:16
demolition, and Monty with memory.
36:19
I'd like for each of you to use your skill to attempt to do
36:23
something on the bus. Before we get off.
36:27
You really want me to do that? Well, you've got to get out
36:32
somehow, and the bus driver is a little old, little, not so
36:37
technologically savvy. He's been driving a bus for a
36:39
long time, but as soon as he pulled a stop, he fell asleep.
36:43
So you're kind? Of yeah, hey, hey, goody, goody.
36:47
I got AI, got AI, got a real puzzle.
36:48
For you, I love them. I mean, how best do you think we
36:53
can use this? And I and you, you look down and
36:56
you see that Joey Trombone has some sort of fuselit that is
37:03
sparked and going. I I just, I mean, I, I didn't
37:08
think it was going to go away. I kept.
37:09
Oh, distraction. Throw it out the window.
37:12
Oh, that should work. And I think I I'm going to go
37:15
first, throw it out the window, but I'm, I'm asking him to help
37:17
me with this puzzle, so. Is is it?
37:20
Is it? Is it?
37:21
Oh, yeah. OK.
37:22
But I would love, well, everyone's distracted to tie
37:25
everyone's shoelaces together. Okay, I would consider that a
37:28
puzzle for sure, as would I consider throwing an explosive
37:32
out the window to be demolition. They're they're knots with no
37:35
conscious. I'm just making loops and
37:36
pulling. It will allow Buddy to give Joey
37:40
the help action at the same time.
37:42
Cool, we're giving vice versa, yes.
37:44
Yeah. You're awesome.
37:46
Dual help action Dual help. Action so you each will get plus
37:49
one to your role, but you will each be able to use those
37:51
skills, demolition and puzzles to roll since your level is
37:55
22-D6 to try and achieve a certain DCI.
37:59
Will exclude my new friends and I'm pretty sure you have heels
38:03
on anyway. Of course, no proper lady leaves
38:06
the house without heels. If it's less than 1/2 inch it
38:10
doesn't count. Hey, that's just a four for me.
38:13
Wait, does the bomb just blow up in the bus?
38:16
2D6. Oh no, you're right.
38:18
I got to roll two of them. Stupid Ed.
38:20
You rolled 22. Yeah, I rolled A5 and A6.
38:23
Amazing. That's a one and a three.
38:27
So still a four. That's crazy on 2 nights.
38:29
Your explosive Peter's out. Oh thank God, that actually
38:33
worked out really well in my favorite.
38:35
A goodie. Those double knots are stronger
38:37
than anyone has experienced to date because with the addition
38:40
of Joey's help, you got a perfect 12 on to die.
38:45
Amazing. I think I tie knots in
38:47
everyone's shoes and or everyone's shoelaces and then
38:52
you don't see me though and I'm just sweating profusely when you
38:55
see me next. That was so much fun.
38:58
Fun. OK, well, the vibe in here is
39:02
kind of a bummer. Monty's going to stand up and,
39:05
like, brush the dust that isn't on her skirt, but she's just
39:09
going to like, really make a point to, like, brush herself
39:12
off when she stands up because this bus is built.
39:14
I don't know how they can get away with this.
39:16
This is why I always had Patrice drive me to school.
39:19
And she's going to click the clack up to the bus driver and
39:23
had heard him on the phone with his wife earlier, like while
39:26
driving. And she had said because of
39:29
course, old man, his wife was on speakerphone, and so she had
39:33
reminded him to take his blood pressure medication.
39:36
So she walks up and taps him on the shoulder and says, Excuse
39:39
me, Richard was your name? Yeah, just reminding you that
39:43
Gladys did tell you to take your blood pressure medication.
39:45
I just didn't want you to forget.
39:47
Have a nice day And will I just? Walk off the bus.
39:50
OK, amazing. So is the goal here to wake him
39:53
up so that he can open the bus door?
39:55
Yeah. OK, let's see it.
39:56
So you will will roll 2D6 with your memory skill.
40:00
And I'm hoping with like the medication I'm trying to get an
40:02
in, I'm trying to be like I'm I'm helping you.
40:04
I'm, you know better, the favorite.
40:08
Yeah. Oh, A4 and A5.
40:11
That's a nine that will pass the check.
40:14
Yay. It might not level you up the
40:15
skill, but it will pass. The check for.
40:17
Sure. OK, so the bus doors are open.
40:21
Your shoes are not tied together.
40:23
Monty. Joey, your shoes are not tied
40:25
together. I can't imagine Goody that you
40:27
tied your own shoelaces together.
40:29
I took them off. Your shoelaces or your shoes?
40:32
My shoes. We're not rolling for shoes
40:34
today. I I think the one thing he said
40:38
was don't take his fucking shoes off.
40:40
I look at Joey, I'm like, you can call me baddie.
40:42
Whoa. This is we.
40:43
I don't I'm not sure about this. Quick run and I run through the
40:48
the bus into that hold. For shoes cuz I want to put
40:50
shoes on this. Fucking kid.
40:51
Oh my God, we're making a break for it.
40:53
Is there anything else Joey or Monty you would like to do
40:57
before you exit the bus as it sounds like Goody just made a
41:00
break for it? Well, baddie's breaking baddie,
41:03
you said. He's broken.
41:04
Bad. I broke.
41:06
Broken Batty I I'm I've already I'm off the bus.
41:10
OK, can I do anything besides the skill I have?
41:14
Like I I guess I have to do anything one all the time, right
41:17
you. Have do anything one at all
41:18
times. OK, it's just surprisingly
41:21
there's not much you can do with bombs and.
41:23
Evolution involves so much more than bombs.
41:26
Oh, you're right, you're right. I just gotta think outside the
41:28
box but somehow in it. Think outside the bomb.
41:31
All right, well, I'd like to in the midst of this, use the
41:35
distraction of all this kerfuffle and the and the bus
41:38
driver just waking up to pickpocket him for anything
41:41
useful. Amazing.
41:42
Do you think this is pickpocket or a sleight of hand Pickpocket?
41:45
Because OK, I'll go for pickpocket.
41:47
You're picking those. Pockets.
41:48
Should I go for sleight of hand like my dad is a common?
41:51
I mean, I'm just trying to give you a slide.
41:53
Okay, I'll go for pick you. Can go for pickpocket.
41:56
And I'm using do anything one for this, so I'll just roll D6.
42:00
Hey, that's a three. But do I have three XP?
42:03
No I just I just got 2 now I got 3 XP.
42:06
Three XP. That's it.
42:09
Does a three? Does a three pass?
42:11
No. You have an unexploded bomb
42:13
under your seat and everyone's shoes are tied together.
42:15
Great. So your shoes are tied together.
42:19
My end in your bucket. My other end's holding this
42:21
bomb. What?
42:23
What, what? What happened to you?
42:24
I think it's time to get off the bus.
42:26
Is that what he says to me? Who?
42:27
The driver, he fell back. Asleep yo-yo, Thank God.
42:33
He should have remembered his blood pressure medication
42:35
Richard, he didn't take Monty's advice.
42:38
All right, well, I'm off and I walk off the bus.
42:40
I've been learning nothing from the situation.
42:43
Sorry. Monty, how about you?
42:47
I think she's just aggressively straightening her clothes and
42:50
just disgruntled about the state of things and that now we're on
42:55
like I what I assume is gravel or grass or God forbid dirt.
42:59
As you descend the stairs, yeah, you make your grand entrance to
43:02
camp. And her heels instantly sink and
43:05
she is just pissed. I think she's.
43:08
Like I'm walking here. I have to put my shoes back on
43:12
and you see Goody right next to you, put socks over her muddy
43:15
feet and then stick them into the shoes and look at you and
43:19
say that was fun. I hadn't walked away.
43:22
Noted. That sounds horrific.
43:27
Anyways, I'm sorry. Heels constantly just falling
43:31
into the grass. It should have been a pump day.
43:37
I am so shocked at how how well you're wearing this Maya I.
43:42
Shocked. I mean, thanks.
43:47
It's so many qualities that you don't carry.
43:50
Yeah, you're rocking it. Thank you.
43:53
Crushing, crushing it. I I think Joey would go to help
43:58
like because seeing that you're like literally getting stuck in
44:00
the mud, like would go and like thinks to himself like chivalry
44:04
honor, and then his own shoes that are loosely united, like
44:08
gets, I imagine, like converse that are like way too open.
44:12
They get also get stuck in the mud and he like literally has to
44:15
help himself instead. I was picturing you putting a
44:17
jacket down, picking it up, putting a jacket down the.
44:21
Floor is lava. Joey doesn't let a lady just
44:23
walk in the mud on her heels. Puncturing his jacket with my
44:26
heels. And each step.
44:28
That is. That's cannon now, yeah.
44:30
I'll send you a bill for that, sorry.
44:32
I'll send you a pill for that. I'm saying you're paying me for
44:35
destroying your jacket. I'm realizing that it's not just
44:38
like it's not just good that's going to be woefully in love
44:41
with the crazy out of our league girl.
44:43
I'm just going to be. I'm going to be quiet about it.
44:46
I, I'm you're in love with her. I want to be better than her.
44:50
Oh, that's that's. A form of love.
44:52
Fine, I guess. I fucking love you.
44:56
Weird, weirdly intense with. That our campers exit the bus to
45:03
a view of camp. The sun is setting the way it
45:07
only does at summer camp. Too orange, too dramatic.
45:13
Like it's trying to convince someone that this place is pure
45:16
and good and right. Camp Second Chance settles into
45:20
its first evening. All right, campers, as you go to
45:23
claim your bunks, can you tell me about a couple of weird
45:26
things you might have brought from home or some of the quirky
45:29
habits that you're going to use to set up your your bunk that
45:32
you've chosen? Do we think we can roll to see
45:35
who goes first? I'll roll for top bunk.
45:38
Let's see, that's a 2 on my D6. So one for Monty.
45:44
That's a six. I told you it's hell.
45:47
I'm you broke baddie. I only break bad every once in a
45:51
while and that's how I get by. I get the jitters out.
45:53
You can't let the teachers know. OK, I won't go to your school
45:57
and tell your teachers. Goody climbs up to the top bunk
46:00
and you. Would be a top bunker.
46:03
Yeah, I climb up to the top bunk and I put my puzzle that is of
46:08
very sadly of my my home that I used to have as a kid before my
46:14
my parents once I died in the car wreck.
46:20
I'm Spiderman. My my parents just work a lot
46:27
and they're not around. I know it's fun for Monty, but
46:30
this is all I have and I put the puzzle over in the corner and
46:34
then my box of matches that just has a weird cigar signature on
46:39
there in the front. How do you think you snuck your
46:41
box of matches and your other Anarchy supplies past the bag
46:46
check? I have a little puzzle zipper
46:49
inside of my bag that if you have to twist the zipper and
46:52
pull it out and then slide it across and then a secret little
46:55
compartment opens up. Fancy.
46:56
I thought you said you were gonna keep them all in your box
46:59
that your puzzle is in because no one would suspect that they
47:02
were in this puzzle box. But I like that even better.
47:06
Correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds like your puzzle is a
47:08
custom puzzle of your home. Yes, it's a picture.
47:11
Wow, love that. Did you make it?
47:12
Did you have a Commission? I think it came from a gift from
47:18
a parent that thought it would be a nice thing to have because
47:21
I they weren't going to be around and it was something that
47:24
they they got for another person but was given to me.
47:27
I'm imagining it was like for a a friend of the family or
47:31
something and like, oh, it's your birthday.
47:33
Oops. And give it give it to me a.
47:35
Free. Gifted.
47:37
That's sweet. There's a reason that I try so
47:40
hard at things. Your parents.
47:42
Approval. I just yeah, you want to.
47:46
Give hey, buddy, I mean, we've been there.
47:48
We all been there, right? It's I mean.
47:50
I have not been there. Your parents don't love you
47:52
either. And earlier, did you say that
47:54
you named yourself? No.
47:57
OK, I could have sworn you said I was looking at a plant.
48:02
Yeah, I think that was a 4th wall break of Maya.
48:04
She kind of breaks into my brain sometimes, generally.
48:07
I also thought it would just be fucking hilarious if she had
48:09
renamed herself, but I. Understand no Stara is a family
48:13
name and I intend to keep. It got it.
48:14
Yes, many stares. Yes, they're very wealthy.
48:16
I understand. NDA at birth.
48:19
Anyways. NDA at birth.
48:21
I mean, yeah, a lot of crazy things happen at birth for you.
48:23
So I was wondering we. All set stuff in their bunk.
48:27
Is it me next guy? You roll the two.
48:29
You roll the 10. Jesus Christ.
48:32
All right, yeah, you can see that I got a like I said, well,
48:35
I also care about my parents approval and.
48:37
Top bunk or bottom bunk? Well, I'm, I obviously got to
48:41
stretch out, so I got to go bottom bunk because I don't want
48:43
to, but I meant I'm tall. I'm a tall guy.
48:45
I, I sound like I'm 39, but I'm just a tall 19 with a deep voice
48:52
in the, in that accent. I can't quite believe this.
48:56
And what makes you such a good con?
48:57
Man, exactly. I'm like you.
48:59
Never sound the same. Never sound the same.
49:01
I could be from Brooklyn. I could be from Brooklyn.
49:04
Are there cell phones in this? Joey, it's your mother.
49:07
Oh God, ma, you said they said no cell phones.
49:09
No, idiot. It's the it's the pay phone on
49:12
the wall. She's called the Cabin.
49:14
Oh God, ma. Is that dude's mom calling him?
49:18
That is so embarrassing. I just, I just was.
49:20
Wondering if you ate the pasta yet?
49:22
Ma I, I, I I I. Yeah, that has not been
49:25
refrigerated. I would not suggest eating.
49:27
Pasta I I you said that. Put her on the phone.
49:30
Put her on the. Phone.
49:32
This is my This is my friend Monty.
49:35
You leave my boy and his pasta alone, you witch.
49:39
I would never dream of eating your lovely son's pasta.
49:43
What did you say your name again was?
49:45
My name is Stella Wheeler Spieler.
49:49
Stella Spieler. Stella Spieler.
49:52
Oh my gosh. Well, Joey here talks so much
49:56
about your flowers and I just can't wait to maybe do business
49:59
with you in the future. I can't believe you just told
50:01
another man your first name, that's insane.
50:04
Another man. Sorry.
50:06
Excuse me. I forgot.
50:08
I forgot. Sorry.
50:09
You're right. Never mind.
50:10
Joey, it sounds like this is a lovely lady.
50:13
You treat her right. Yeah.
50:14
I'm sorry for calling you a witch, honey.
50:16
It's OK, I forgive you. Your son is great, by the way.
50:19
OK. She punctured a bunch of holes
50:21
in my Jack of mine. You'll be proud.
50:22
She'll be proud. Share some of your pasta and let
50:25
that go. Punch as many holes as she needs
50:27
to do in your jacket. She sounds lovely.
50:29
All right, well, you're obviously Italian, but I don't
50:31
know what I am yet. I'm Italian.
50:34
Dad, Bronx. Go Jerry Seinfeld's on.
50:39
OK, you guys stop watching that show.
50:41
He's a pretty bad guy. OK, never mind.
50:46
Oh, your bunk. Sounds great.
50:48
Tell me more about your bunk, Joey.
50:50
I got it. I got a bunch of decks of cards
50:52
that. The way you even do.
50:59
That well, you know. A bunch of decks of cars and of
51:02
course I got books on flowers because I was going to bring all
51:04
my flowers here. But you know, I first of all,
51:07
I'm a reluctant gardener. OK, I don't like it.
51:10
But once you got if you got to keep them alive and I guess I'm
51:13
just good at it or whatever. Can I roll for green thumb?
51:15
Next time. Oh God.
51:17
Well, I got flowers and cards and, you know, a picture of my
51:21
mom or whatever. I'm honestly sort of also
51:25
shocked at how well you're portraying the.
51:29
This is it's working. It's.
51:31
Working. Yeah, just please your mom.
51:36
Just keep showing up again. What?
51:38
You're doing. I just wanted to be next to you,
51:41
sweetie. I'm going to pick the top bunk
51:42
you could. Be on the bottom bunk.
51:44
This is weird. This is weird.
51:45
OK, Ma, you gotta leave. You gotta leave I.
51:47
Brought my public 90. It's OK, everyone's going to be
51:51
fine. I got them all strapped in,
51:52
nothing's. Falling out.
51:53
Yeah, Ma, it cannot be cannon that you were here.
51:58
You gotta go. Stop calling Wow.
52:05
Do your bed sheets still smell like the laundry soap she uses?
52:10
Well, I mean, no, because these are my bed.
52:13
These are my bed sheets. Oh, does she do my laundry?
52:16
Is that what you're asking? Yeah, of course she does my
52:18
laundry. Fucking questions that.
52:25
Take us home, Monty. Tell us about your bunk
52:27
situation. The fuck is that?
52:33
Oh God OK new vocal sting unlocked.
52:38
So Monty, I'm assuming is this a Coed cabin as?
52:42
Dumb as it is, it. Sure is.
52:47
Monty looks around, shutters in her little Louis Vuittons, and
52:52
walks over to bottom bunk that a kid is already setting up and
52:56
it's like you're going to have to take the top.
52:58
I'm sorry, you'll understand when you're older, but just
53:01
please, this is mine now, thank you.
53:03
Why? I I've already got my stuff set.
53:05
Up. Don't care, set it up upstairs.
53:07
Who are you? It you'll know.
53:10
OK. You'll know.
53:13
Starts packing up and stuff. Would you be a sweetheart?
53:17
So then she takes out her sheets that she brought from home.
53:20
They're like Corley Kichi, so bright and lovely, totally
53:27
clashing with whatever Feng shui is happening in this room.
53:30
None, none. Feng Shui.
53:34
Pretty sure that's the mouse droppings in the corner, but
53:35
we're not going to talk about it.
53:36
Yep. Yeah.
53:38
So she very flowery. She brought some extra throw
53:41
pillows. She's got it all set up.
53:43
She rolls her luggage in and it actually has like a pop up top
53:48
that pops into a vanity. So she has a whole like makeup
53:53
set up with a vanity mirror with the lights and everything
53:56
battery powered. That's pretty fucking.
53:57
Bright Lady. Well, it won't be on all the
53:59
time, just at 6:00 AM when I start my skin care routine.
54:02
OK, it's, it's OK. It's, it's direct, all right,
54:05
whatever. It's OK, I'm up at 6:00 right in
54:07
my manifesto. Do you want if I use?
54:08
If you want skin like this, you would understand that it takes
54:11
work and dedication and proper lighting.
54:15
What do you want? My contour to not blend into my
54:18
neck. My contour into my neck.
54:20
I obviously don't do makeup. My foundation into my neck.
54:24
Lady, the one thing I know about contour is it's not the word
54:26
contract, which I learned just today.
54:28
You think I know the word contour?
54:29
Oh. My God, I'm already sweating.
54:31
She's like powdering her face, just looking around, just
54:35
appalled, trying to like like inspect the like, drapes on the
54:40
cabin window. Just like, oh, and like, dust
54:44
poofs off of everything. And she's just like, it's just
54:47
one summer. It's just one.
54:49
It's just one thing. You know, every socialite needs
54:51
a scandal. This is yours.
54:53
Pull it together, Monty. Pull it together.
54:55
You hear scribbling above the top bunk.
54:57
The people will rise and fight. Oh gosh.
55:05
Oh no. This is going to be a long
55:06
summer. Did Goody end up on your top
55:09
bunk? Sounds like it.
55:13
Do I have a bunk mate? I was picturing being over.
55:16
Yeah, I feel like I shooed the purse on the bottom bunk up to
55:18
the top, but I in my bottom bunk, have a Direct Line of
55:21
sight to Goody and Joey. We're like across the cabin on
55:25
the bunk. Beds I also are there other kids
55:28
here? Yeah, that's amazing.
55:29
I that just blew my brain open as soon as you shoot someone.
55:32
I was like, Oh my God, not all these fucking kids.
55:34
Who are these kids? They're like.
55:36
Your age and you're like I'm. Gay.
55:38
I'm an old 19. I've been held back a few times.
55:41
We don't say that you're an old 19 too many times.
55:44
A little creepy. Superseded.
55:45
Maybe your dad is the con man like did some tricks to get you
55:48
into the camp because it is only 18.
55:51
Well, you're old 17 I. Mean, let's be honest, he was
55:54
trying to do me a favor. He thought it was gonna, he
55:55
thought it was gonna put me ahead in life, being the big
55:57
king in class, but it just made me dumb.
55:59
That made you dumb. I think so.
56:01
Not smarter. I don't think.
56:03
Twice. Twice doing it.
56:04
Do it one more time. Didn't.
56:06
OK, no. You don't.
56:07
Well, I mean I I guess. Older, wiser, You know what they
56:09
say. Can't all be me.
56:11
I know how to not read really well.
56:13
Head pops down from the top bunk.
56:15
Joey, how much TNT to displace the water in the lake?
56:18
2 tons. Perfect goes back up.
56:23
Wait, how much? What was your question?
56:24
I didn't even hear. It how much TNT to displace the
56:26
water in the lake? Yeah, 2 tons I would say. 2 tons
56:30
of. TNT to displace the water in a
56:33
lake 2. Tons.
56:36
Yeah, I think so. How big's the lake?
56:39
Lake Superior. Exactly that's I'm thinking.
56:43
I'm thinking of a Big Lake I guess.
56:45
Tons. YouTube.
56:46
YouTube. Google.
56:48
No one's blowing up two tons of TNT anywhere but the that.
56:52
The people blowing up dude on the DND.
56:54
My dad did it last. I mean, I cannot suppose talk
56:56
about that. It was at the NDA you signed.
56:59
I don't. I don't if you talk about the.
57:01
Common thread here at camp. You've all signed NDA.
57:04
And you've all broken down. That's why you're here, no?
57:10
Back over your head, back over your head, back over your.
57:12
Head, you know 2 tons you'll get a mushroom cloud that's for
57:15
sure. The Eiffel Tower.
57:17
You could explode the Eiffel. Tower. 2 tons.
57:20
Okay wow this is a whole comparison video.
57:22
Fun. Okay, not sending this to Goody.
57:25
Little plug. Go YouTube TNT. 2 tons of DNT is
57:29
a lot and it can displace a lake.
57:31
I'll tell you that. I went high and that's that's
57:33
because I didn't want to be wrong.
57:34
Not not the goody, not for goody he he deserves.
57:37
That too much than not exactly. Especially when it comes to
57:40
demolitions. OK.
57:47
So dumb, it's so amazing. Wow.
57:50
OK, so to recap, we've got Goody on the top bunk riding in his
57:55
her. There, there manifesto.
57:58
Goody top bunk riding in their manifesto directly above Joey,
58:03
down below, pondering his reuniting with mom at the end of
58:08
camp. Maybe directly across the tiny
58:11
hallway from Monty, who's in the bottom bunk prepping her makeup
58:16
station, having recently scared the kid in the bunk above her.
58:21
Incredible. The cabins creak as campers
58:25
claim bunks. Laughter pops in the distance.
58:29
Counselors move through the dusky haze with clipboards and
58:33
tired smiles. And somewhere near the center of
58:36
camp, a long path winds through the trees.
58:41
It's quiet there. Paper lanterns hang from ropes
58:44
and branches, not yet lit but swaying gently, as if they're
58:48
waiting for something. The counselors will call it a
58:52
tradition. They say it helps.
58:54
They say it's optional. They say a lot of things can't
58:59
fire. Smoke clings to your clothes.
59:03
Sorry, I love the smell of fire so.
59:07
Kind of like it too. It smell kind of smells like
59:09
gasoline, right? Like in a weird way, like, I
59:11
mean, it doesn't smell like gasoline, but like kind of in
59:12
the way that you like gasoline. It's like, oh, I'll smell like
59:15
again. I I would drink gasoline if.
59:18
That's all right. Yeah, once more.
59:19
Weirdly intense, my little friend.
59:21
We're going to collect some fucked up skills, Where was I?
59:27
Crickets are singing in the distance, confident and loud,
59:32
almost as if they know the rules better than anyone else here.
59:36
This place is supposed to be about fresh starts, but first
59:40
nights are never fresh. As darkness settles in, the
59:45
lanterns remain unlit. Waiting.
59:50
And tonight at Camp Second Chance, the lanterns might stay
59:54
dark, but they're anything but empty.
1:00:03
I'm so excited to see you to explore the rest of this place.
1:00:05
It seems like kind of kind of magical.
1:00:07
I don't know. I feel I don't know, maybe I'm
1:00:09
just it's been a lanterns are. Anything but empty.
1:00:11
That's what I'm saying. What does that mean?
1:00:13
What does it mean? Fire marries.
1:00:15
Fire. I mean, we'll, I'll put some,
1:00:18
I'll put some firecrackers in those my.
1:00:20
My my my my matches. All right, what the fuck did you
1:00:23
just say I. Don't know, I actually stuttered
1:00:27
I guess. You know what?
1:00:28
No, my fuses have been have been rather dry lately.
1:00:30
I'll take one. Hey, thank you.
1:00:33
Thank you, my fuses have been rather dry lately.
1:00:38
Got to keep your fuses wet all right?
1:00:40
Like under a lake. Lubricated, they say.
1:00:44
