  Speaker 2: Podcast previously in the City of Bones.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: The screen comes to life. Jamiir, you see your grandma.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I tried for a very long time to gain some
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: insight into magic. I studied, I studied, but I couldn't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: do it, no matter how many spells I memorized or
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: rituals I practiced. Jamir, you wake in a stark white room.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The severe woman from the Mayor's office enters. She slaps
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Taylor on the face to get him to wake. His
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: eyes open. Confus used, Jamir, it's okay, Bunny, it's okay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be okay. At that, three gunshots into Taylor's chest.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: There are stands right next to the shoot and within
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the chute that are set up to give out piles
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of seemingly never ending fresh fruits and vegetables. I have
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: some good news. I was able to call a bit
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of an emergency meeting for the church council. Sitting around
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the table are four men. There is a sharply dressed
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: man with Asian features. There is a gray haired man
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: wearing the simple coat and collar of a Catholic clergyman.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Then there is a man who's a little flamboyantly dressed.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And then the last man is enormous. Out of those
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: sleeves burst these enormous forearms that have elaborate tattoos of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: coin and money. I think you start to track camps activity.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I think you gather he is the there's a like
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a food bank. They tell us, come there for a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: night's sleep, come there for a warm meal, and then
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they choose certain of us to bring here or other
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: places in the city. Tell me everything there is to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: know about this gang you're in. Who's left? And then
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: my boss, he gestures to the pile of viscera. That's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the guy like that. There's nobody else that's him. It
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was him. Page told me that the thing that saved
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: her that night killed a guy. You don't know what's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in you? Oh, and you do, Yes, Maybe you tell
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: me what's really going on. I'm not ready. I'm not
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: ready to have that conversation yet. I'm trying. I'm trying.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: It's not easy for me. There's a lot I haven't
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: told you about my family. We can use magic, Jason.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: The sun is beginning to turn golden in its descent,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and the three of you float over the city below you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It hums with life. This is the first time you've
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: flown openly in the daytime. You hover out of the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: mercantile streets of Southern Ask. You pass over the electric
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: rail and into Sass. You are far enough east that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the residential high rises are getting shorter, and you fly
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: over rooftop gatherings. People gawk and stare, point and laugh,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: looking down at their drinks and smokes, thinking they haven't
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: had enough to be seeing what they're seeing. Eventually you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: get to an alley, an alley you've used before for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to sneak into the tunnel system and into Jamir's house
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: without being seen. I've named the finally named the neighborhood
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that your house is in, Jamir. It's Lowtown, Low Town.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's in southern Sass, pretty far south. Over the next week,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the city is a buzz with whispers of the new heroes.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The Tower puts a picture of you guys on the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: front page, and even New Babel News does a piece
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on you during prime time with some grainy footage. The
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Tower prints the names that were overheard during the fight
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: with the masterpiece Quanta Rigel and the phantom. New Babel
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: News begins to spread names like Starboy, paper Clad Lad
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and Electra Girl.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I also want there to be like a ragmag that's
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: called the Babbler.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: That's really yes, the top eligible single heroes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Two men who fought so strongly and Girl.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Girl also see possibly aliens and Girl Girl. What do
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: our heroes get up to this week? So we're gonna
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: go into some downtime. Fuck yeah, So if you want
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: to put in the numbers right now, I have some
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: stuff to say about this.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Oh God, sit down.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Say it. I'll stand up and sit down. You don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: have to. But rest, training, unmasked life and thread chasing
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is all kind of normal like it was last time. Patrol, though,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I think I want to add to that kind of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: your understanding of the state of the city, So not
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just kind of getting out there and making somewhat of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a name for yourself, but also what is going on
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in the city. And I think that there are certain
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: things that could turn into scenes based on patrol. Okay,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: based on what you want to patrol. In the numbers
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you give it to patrol, I think they're and then
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: like normal with patrol, there are things that you will
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: miss if the number is not high enough.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: So like we won't unlock that cut.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Scene potentially or something will happen without.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Knowing percent heart is like, oh no, I got to
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: put it all in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Patrol can find all the secrets.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So zero zero through four, yeah, yes, zero through four?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: What are what are they?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Likes Ress training, Patrol, Unmasked life and thread chasing you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: What do you want to do? What do you want
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Is there any is there any room where like I
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: could have two like three ones rather than a zero
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: one two?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: No, don't that's right? You want to do that's for
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Team up advance. You want to change the game, Team
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: up addition to addition, I can't wait for Team up
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: three point five three point five E And what was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a super cunchy one for for E?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: For?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's team up for E where you can split
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: up your numbers when we lose our way, well we've
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: lost the plot.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's when you can start start buying gems and
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: doing micro transactions ham clash hands.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's a bit from the chat cave listeners.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm so sorry.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: You don't apologize, all right, I'm all set on downtime
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: and you guys get.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I feel one thing I want to give something to everything,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: and I'm really struggling with what to give zero.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Dude. That was my struggle too, honestly. Yeah, but that's zero.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I would really love some energy points back. Yeah, so
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: at least one to rest would be great, but then
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: at least after that, I I just I really can't
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: decide what to give zero to because I would love.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: To do all of it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Zero to zero.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, okay, okay.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Can you get more points if you give Johnny real money?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Can I vend mo you twenty dollars?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Our money is the same. It doesn't matter.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I'll ethan twenty dollars, and then even will vendo you
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: twenty dollars.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I will still know that it's our money. Johnny only
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: deals with macro trans. I only deal in ham the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: only deals it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: You better give this a motherfucker hams.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll get a ham right now.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I'll go get you some hamm right now. If you
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: love one one rather than zero.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: Beef is expensive. Twenty twenty six hams in ham is
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: the new year. It's the year of ham.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: This might be getting away from playing the game, But
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: what I'll say about ham is I think the floor
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: and ceiling for HAM is the same. There's the best
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: HAM I've ever had, and the worst HAM I've ever
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: had is the same HAM.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Guys, that's consistency.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: The people want consistency in these trying time That's why
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: that's why we've turned the HAM.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Alrighty, I'm ready, Let's do rest first. This represents kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of the rest you're getting the whole period of downtime.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Uh So, if you get into fights and stuff, you
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: will still be taking damage and losing energy, but the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: rest of your activities won't will not cost that stuff
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: because you're resting here. So what did we give to rest?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Jamiir one? Okay, so you get to roll your both
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: your er excuse me, your your strength die and your
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: resilience die. Resilience will give you back HP. Strength will
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: give you back EPs. Yes five? Oh sorry, go ahead?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Oh should I tell it?
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: So?

  Speaker 1: Yeah? The people want to know. Sure. So I got
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: two on my strength die. So I get back two
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: EPs and my magic blasts. I was down at three
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: out of five, so I'm going back up to five
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: out of five for that. Oh shit, I only have
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: two aps for strength.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: Oh well, and then my HP I got a one,
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: but I was at twenty five out of twenty eight,
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: so I'm at twenty six out of twenty eight bad roles.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, paper Phantom Jason given a three to rest this time.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: I need I need the energy. I'm good on health.

• 10:55
  Speaker 6: I love to see it. That's total of five EPs back, bummer, Ronnie.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I gave two to rest because I'm down nine EP
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: so I'm rolling two D four so I have the
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: potential to get eight out of those nine back.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: But let's see. Let's see high.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, quit on resting. Nah, just get a mega nap.

• 11:37
  Speaker 1: old three in training. Three numbers that number? God damn it?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: What do you What are you doing to train? Jamir?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: What are you working on? Wow? Okay?
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: Jamiir first would be spending some time, probably in some
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: abandoned warehouse, definitely outside of the shoot, working primarily on
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: flight star tricks. He wants to get good at tricking
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: with the flight stars, doing some cool, cool nonsense a mctwist. Yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: and also again like that, maybe create a second flight
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: star so I can like hop from one to another
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: at the very least, like dismiss the one I first
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: have up and then like catch myself with the second
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: one a little lower or a little to the right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'm trying, Tommy, two flight stars. I'm making up new
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: craziness with the flight stars. This is my dream. Awesome, Yeah,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: with the three. You're definitely able to to do that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to get creative with the flight stars.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: If I have the time, I'd also love to work
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: on my magic blasts. This might be more like meditate
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: vibese right, which I imagine I go back to I
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: go back to my grandma's study. I take the blue
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: pot from whence the Ghin who I met came. And
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of floating on a flight star a couple
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: of feet off the ground, legs cross beneath me, trying
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: to regulate my breathing, feeling the coolness of the jar
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: in my hand.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: As you're meditating, Jason will just be imagine that your
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: grandma's couches are covered in that plastic that grandma couches
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: are covered in, and Jason is just on a couch
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: eating popcorn behind you, just squeaking in the plastic. You're
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: meditating right now, Jason, please leave? Are you doing a
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: good job meditating anymore?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Please leave? What are you meditating?
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: An?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Are you still meditating? Okay? All right, jamiir in your
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: grandma's study. You haven't revisited this room for a while,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: at least in game while you're here off screen, I'm
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: just hanging out there all the time. Yeah, totally, when
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I'm role playing by myself during the times we're not recorded. Yeah,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: go ahead, roll an investigation check as you come in here,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: as you're kind of peeking around, like my mighty D six?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Is it the ready? That's a six? Numbers go that high?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, a magic number? It's divisible by three.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: This is a challenging check. So I wrote a D
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: ten and I wrote a four. Ooh, we's I Willie's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Jamyor you look around and you find a notebook that
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Jason has looked through, but you haven't. A notebook in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: one of the drawers that you hadn't seen before. It's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: your grandma's journey. As you start flipping through it, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it does it describes her journey in seeking magic, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you heard her talk about this in the video that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: she left for you. But here you just find kind
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of the the path that she took and scribbles here
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: failures there are just trying to find a way that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: she could use the magic of her ancestors Jimir. The
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: first thing you find in the early pages of this
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: notebook are are drawing sketches of people with enormous wings
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: sprouting out of their back, and scribbled there is the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: word impundulu, which are flying spirits from African lore. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it seems as though this is the thing that your
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: grandma was chasing. After this, this is where it started.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm paging through this thing furiously, still sitting on
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: my humming, rotating star beneath me. I'm drinking in the
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: history that inspired her, fascinated as a see the technological
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: journey she eventually went on. And I'm paging. I'm first
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: just kind of flipping through quickly, like looking at how
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: the pictures change, seeing like the magic quest and then
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: the technological Quest. Yes, and I'm yeah, I take a
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: minute and just breathe and just hold this journal close.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Knowing that my grandma wrote in this same book for
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: years One other thing you notice is.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: She gets to a point where she feels like she
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: understands the categories of magic. And I think we have
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: these already because Jason sneaked this. But I don't know
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: if you saw it, Chamir, but I would, Yeah, I did.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: You find kind of a big It feels like a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: exciting moment in her journal where she's come to this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: revelation that there's spirit magic and the Umpun Dulo are
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: named there, there's balance magic, and the name Piper is
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: written there, Discord magic and the Tokoloshi are listed there,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: another spirit demon from African lore. And then you come
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: across the word annihilation, the phrase annihilation magic, and listed
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: under that is spellbook with a question mark whoa, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: then Star Magic with a ton of question marks around it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: You don't really know. It seems as though she didn't
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: really have any idea of Star magic. Whoa.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm looking at this and I just everything in
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: me wants to show Jackie, Oh, this is so big.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: So through this meditation with your grandma, you with your
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: grandma's things and your pot here in this room, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: think you do you get not more control over your magic,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: but but you start to think about these categories and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: where your magic might be coming from. Obviously, the star
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: magic stands out as like the guy said he was starfolk.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: That makes sense, but seems like she doesn't really know
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what that means. You're starting to put a few pieces together. Yeah, Ronnie,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: training for you one. And what would you like to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: do with your one training?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I would love to be so lucky as to have
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: a thunderstorm come over New Babble.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure this week there is a storm through
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the city.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I think. Ronnie goes to the top of the Station's
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: the tallest.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: The space barge is higher.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, the station is.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Separate than the space barg yes, oh okay, yeah, the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: space barge is the actual spaceship. Yes, that would have
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: been shot up into space and stations like next to it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Then the station is kind of a it's a blanket
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: word for kind of the campus surrounding the.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Space Okay, so just that area great, Okay. So I
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: go to the top the space barge. Awesome, And as
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I sense the lightning coming, I remember my day vision
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: of when I did become lightning, not just travel upon it,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: And I would love to reach out as a strike
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: is coming to become lightning when I travel.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Oh cool and branch again. Okay, very cool. Jason's just
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: behind you.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: You become enlightening up there, yes, Jason, uh, it down,
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: You're gonna die in the storm.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: You focus a little bit differently, kind of your own
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: meditative moment as the rain strikes you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Thank God, Jason's not here.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I'm always hearing your heart.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: No, no, I'm hearing him in my head.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Jason out of your head, and you get in touch
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: with your day self kind of in a way you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: haven't before. You focus, and as all the rain is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: hitting you and igniting those lightning patterns in your body,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you're able to separate your powers. The power's part of
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you and the day part of you. There is something
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you notice within the metal that makes you up that
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: is pulsing. It's not part of your powers. It's small,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: but you can track it because of your powers. And
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: then it strikes you there's a there's an energy absorption
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: element to your makeup. You can feel it. You realize
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: in this moment, this is why you can channel such
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: strong bursts of lightning without being hurt. You realize that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the storage capability of your frame and skin is the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: reason why you have access to so much electricity. Every
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: feeling you've ever felt, every touch, every thought is stored
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in you. As lightning, well as a bolt of lightning
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: strikes right by your face, you don't flinch. Instead, you
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: reach out your hand. If the absorption within you could
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: absorb enough, could it change you? And as you reach
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: out your body instead of breaking to the lightning's rage
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: ascends and you become plasma.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: I hop around? Can I control it?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I control where the lightning's going and strike from lightning
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: rod to lightning rod, and I want to like travel
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: like the whole circumference of the city that way.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Jason training, what's the biggest number you can think of, Johnny?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: From bazilion? Subtract a bazilion from that, and what do
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you get?
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Zero?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Training for the phantom.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: I recently became paper and I'm confident I'll do it
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: again at some point.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Solid logic. Awesome. Let's move to patrol Jason. Excuse me, Jimiir,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: We'll start with you. What do you give to patrol?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Jamir gave a four to patrol? Whoa What are you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: hoping to do with your four to patrol? Jason or Jamir?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: God damn it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Should I change my name to Jeronica?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Please don't.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, you tell me Johnny.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: My father's Jamir's father's name is Jason. That's all another thing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, But anyway, Jamir as Rigel is going to
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: focus his patrolling in two areas, but I do want
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: to kind of be seen everywhere now that we're kind
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: of in the paper. I want to I want people
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: to see heroes, to know that they're in good hands,
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: that they have protectors. But I'll definitely be focusing in
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: the shoot as last time when the heroes were around,
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: the Shoe had varying reactions to superheroes, So I want
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: people to see Rightel doing good and even like dumb
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: small stuff like if I see someone's vehicle broken down,
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: I'll lend a hand if I if I see if
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: I see kids looking for a lost cat or something,
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: I'll help out. I'm definitely trying to be friendly while
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: also not giving away who I am. And I'm also
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: wanting I'm wanting to patrol around the heart of darkness
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: in Jamier's mind, the center of the city in Kono
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: and the mayoral building, city Hall. I want to be
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: seen around there while I'm kind of softer in the shoot.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: I kind of want to be taking a little harder vibe,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: and I kind of do want to monitor to some
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: extent people's comings and goings in between stopping crime in
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: that area, especially looking for the mayor, the veiled city council,
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: and the mayor's assistant.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Who killed Taylors. Jamir will do kind of a scene
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: from both places. Here, you fly up and down the chute,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you gather a level of comfortability and familiarity with it
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that you haven't had before. You know, on above it
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: in the sky, you see the movements that the core
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: gang is making. They're spreading out. You start to see
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: fruit piling up so high in different areas in the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: station that there's no way that the shoot people can
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: eat all of it before it goes bad. There's that
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: much outpouring from the biodome in the space barge. And
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: so hey, give me, give me one of those oranges.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Bro a guy, Hey throws you an orange. Hell yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: he's gonna push a thumb in and just squeeze the orange.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: The choice it They have a good one.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: Boys do a little flip on his do a little
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: like loopy. I'll do a little loop de loop on
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: my flight star and then I'll zoom off.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: They cheer at you excitedly as you fly around as name.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: The name Rigel is spreading through the city a little bit.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: One day, as you're flying close to the station, there
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is an enormous pile of apples, jimir red shining in
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the sun. Standing around it, there are members of the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: core Gang. You assume, the Apple core Gang.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Well, sorry, Step should say that joke, because that feels
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: like a step joke.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: The Apple cork.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just just edit, just edit out Ethan, because I'm
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: going to take credit for this.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Oh the Apple core Gang.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Oh genius, nice, real smart. There's members of the core
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Gang patrolling this area, and all of you, you and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the members of the gang see kind of at the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: same time, a tumble of apples down this mountain and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: then following it to its source, a child scrambling up
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the mountain, apple in mouth, apple in each hand, just
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: kind of smashing their way up this mountain. Before you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: or the men can do anything. You see the shift
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and wait in the apples, and they start to cascade,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: They start to avalanche. One of the Core Gang members
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: who's the closest starts to work his own way up,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: wading through this pile of apples just flooding over him.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: An apple, an apple lanch. Very good, that's a stuff joke.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: That's a stuff joke. The one for step zero for
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the rest of us.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: The one guy, one of the core gang members, does
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: start wading up through the apple lanch and does get
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: around this kid, but then the mass of apples is
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: too much and they're both drowned in these apples in between,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: stuck in between the wall of a nearby building and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: just a mountain of apples.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah right, I'm assuming Rachel was watching this from a
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: flight star. Yes, yeah, I'm just gonna full tilt, lean down,
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: and just zoom as fast as I can.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Toward them to.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: Burrow in, grab a hold and yoke these guys out.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Roll the strength strength plus your might, Jamir, or
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: might plus your strength, dude, might plus that's the sixteen.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: This is an average check because apple isn't that hard
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: for you. Now, I rolled I rolled three, so you
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: beat me by more than ten.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Jamir has one hand gripping the front my flight star
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: crouched down one hand behind him dramatically with my cape
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: billowing as I speed down a streak of light behind
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: my flight stars.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It speeds up.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: I burrow into the apples at an angle slightly below
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: where they went in, so that I can swoop up,
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: holding the man in my arms, kind of fireman carry
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: style with the child in his arms.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Do you burst out of this mountain of apples holding
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: these two? The man breathes, Oh, thank you? What what
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: do they say? Your name was? You can call me
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: rage Rai, Jel, thank you. You look at the little kid,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: and you see your brother Jace with an apple in
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: his mouth, a big smile on his face.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: About one at a time. Next time? All right, young man, Okay,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: we're flying. This is crazy, Yeah it is. I set
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: them down carefully, give a salute. I don't want to
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: say too much more in front of my little brother,
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: and I'll do one of the one of the tricks
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: I've been planning. I run at the wall, I kick
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: off wall, jump off as hard as I can, and
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: then create a flight star and fly back in the
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: opposite direction.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I was running.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: Fuck yeah, totally pointless, but crazy fun.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: The guy you saved, as well as the rest of
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the core gang members here cheer for you as you
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: zip off another day. So you also want to patrol
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the Kno area where the mayor's office is, which is
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: it's in the north west most section of the city.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: It is as far away from the people as it
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: can be. It used to be downtown, but the mayor
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: had it moved when took office, so it's way way
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: up northwest. And here's what you gain from your four
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: in patrol. You never see the mayor go in and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: out of that place. You do see the city council
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: shuffle in and out sometimes, but not too often in
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a week, probably once all around the same time for
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: like a meeting. However, the mayor's assistant goes in and
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: out often. You do follow her patterns a little bit.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: She goes to meet with a few people. I don't
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: know anybody you know necessarily, but she meets with people
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: here or there throughout the city. She never collects anything,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: she never gives anything. It's always word of mouth. It's dusk.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: You're following her at a distance, and she's headed towards
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: what you assume and have gathered as likely her home.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And right before she comes to her intersections, she splits
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: down a back alleyway am I following on foot or
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: from rooftops or from flight How do you want to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: be following? I think i'd want distance. I think i'd
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: want to like have binoculars from a flight star high
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: enough up that hopefully she I don't know, doesn't know
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: what this, doesn't notice this drone like thing, this human
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: size drone right above her, and I'm kind of like
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: tracking her through my binoculars. Well, I'm kind of leading
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: over the edge of my flight star, following her from
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: directly above. You know one thing, it's that bad guys
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: never look up. They never look up, true, jamiir You
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: follow her way above her in this alley way. She
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: takes a left in the alley, and you see that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the alley ends there. She then ducks behind a dumpster
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: there and looks towards the entryway of the alley, waiting
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: for something. What are you up to, little miss? You're
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: doing anything else or leaving it there? Do I see
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: her kind of disappear? She is trying to so, I think,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: because you're so high above you still see her behind
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the dumpster. But she's trying to hide as though someone
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: We're gonna walk the way the same enter the alley
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the same way she did.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Jamir is going to quietly descend, and I'm going to
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: get on top of one of the buildings that she's
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: next to, the one of the two buildings that kind
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: of form the alley, so I can hear and kind
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: of look down, and I'm ready to pounce.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: In make a sneak check Jamir. Oh no, that's a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: three magic number. She rolled a six. Damn you see
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: your stand Look up in your direction. It's a tall building.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: It's getting dark. She says, why are you following me?
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: At this Rigel is going to sideways flip twist off
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: the top of the building, land in front of her
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: with a ground pound, punching in the alley and breaking
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: the concrete a few feet in front of her.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: She steps back, as you do, so I saw you
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: in the papers, questions the same why are you following me?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Be careful, boy, I'm clever. I've heard a lot of people,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and I remember everyone and why I can put pieces together.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Give me enough time, or have the balls to kill me.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Jamir begins to summon his cackling magical energy in the
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: fingers of his right hand, feeling the power dance between
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: the digits and I slowly harden my hand into a
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: glowing fist. I'm the kind of person that will be
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: watching people like you until this city is fixed.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: The two of you stand there in the alleyway until
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: she says, you know, let me go home. Then I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: look over my shoulder. Day didn't show up. Mm hmmm,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: actually you did.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: There's easier ways to find me, and Jamiir is going
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: to still looking at her, step back, and there's gonna
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: be a flight star where I step. So I'm kind
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: of like ascending as I step back, and I float
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: up and away from her backwards, still not breaking eye contact.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Eventually, as you float out of sight, she heads home. Yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Jamiir's hard as pounding after that freaking out, I will
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: definitely land breathe heavy earlier, I'm definitely I definitely smell
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: of apple, that apple smell. And the first thing Jamiir
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: is going to think is I need a better com Quanta.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: What do you give to patrol? Three number? Nice lot
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: of patrol? Yes, where are you patrolling? Quanta?
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: So I chose three places the soup kitchen that we
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: learned about in the first fight where they're nabbing people.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I want to see what's happening there and hopefully stop
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: some nabbing. The other is the neighborhood where I saw
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: camp demanding payment from that one place. And then the
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: other is just like around the church of the New
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Babbel day. Got it, just kind of seeing what's going
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: on over there.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Got it?
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: If like my old.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Clients are still coming and going, if yeah, other yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: and then just any crime along the way, trying to
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: help out.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Cool, I will. So what we'll do is I'll give
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: you information from all of them with the three okay,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and then we'll do a scene of one of them.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Okay kitchen. So the soup kitchen is. Let me get
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: my map. The Catholic Church mostly operates in two districts
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: in the city, Upper West and Upper East, split up
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: in between Nebraska and Colorado north. Up there, which is
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: not too too far away from Galileo's Grave where you've been,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: but it's more suburban up there, and the church has
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: made their steak there, or did back in the day.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: You do find a number of soup kitchens, a number
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: of hostels and places for people to stay that need it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Let's do an investigation check to see if you kind
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: of find the one that is nasty.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I would love to add synaptic scant to that. Oh sure,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: six six this magic number average check. I rolled a four.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: You fly over all these trying to find as many
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: of them as you can, and you do come to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: one that's very near the main Catholic church. There's a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: lot of churches here. There's yes here. Here's what you
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: might know about the Catholic Church here because you grew
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: up religious, not Christian religious.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: But I'm God religious, yes.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: That kind of religious, one of those God religions, one
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: of those one of those God religions about God. There
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: is an enormous cathedral and it splits the line between
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Ask and Kono. It is on the line rather okay,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: And there was a bishop here, but when New Babbel
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: was separated from the rest of the world fully they
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: started calling him the silent Pope. This you know, there
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: is a building connected to the cathedral where people are
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: going in for rest and for food. And you start
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: to sense that the hearts of the helpers do not
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: have good intentions.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Can I sense like when they're planning it's kidnap people,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: So I could know like when an operation would be
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: happening I.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Think on your success for your scan. You scan the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: building and there you do find kind of a creepy
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: underground croft that might hold people, but it is empty.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: There's no one down there.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, well, I think this is the place, so better
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: come back with help.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I think. So you find that you also wanted to patrol?
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Where else the neighborhood where I saw camp and then

• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, Bye Bye.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Sap of Camp. You track down his whole deal. He
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: has kind of a group of people that ride or
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: around the city. You start to follow his route and
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: you realize that he doesn't go back to the same
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: place he did before that you found him before. You
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: puzzle on that for a second, and then you follow
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: him to the commercial area in Ask, mostly shops, mom
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and pop shops. There is a financial district and Ask
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: as well, but outside of that there are more local
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: businesses that are in operation, and he does a full
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: route around there, just going into people's businesses and collecting.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: You get close enough to one of them. There's a
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: little mom and pop shop called Carrie's Candles, and you
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: get close you start to hear their voices through the
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: electrical waves. I don't see why I should pay you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: this month? And was there pay you for protection? Right? Well?
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Gang members from Kono shot at my store, destroyed all
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: my windows and display glasses, busted a bunch of candles.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna fit the bill for that? Or do
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I have to keep paying you for protections that never come? Huh?
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Carrie carry You've always been easy to work with. Don't
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: make this hard now, Huh? Well, I should just pay
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you for something I'm not getting. I think you misunderstand
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit the unspoken rules of this arrangement. We
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: say protection when we first come by, but if you're
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: doing business in the city, we get our cut. That's
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: how it is. I don't make the rules, and I
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: don't want this to get any uglier, So don't make me.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: You start to hear Camp move, and you start to
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: hear Carrie scream. I enter.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: How you said that the windows flip twist on pop
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: out of a giant apple cake. You said that the
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: windows got like shot up.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're boarded up. Yeah with them plywood.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: I think I'm just gonna slide down to the street level.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Just try to walk in through the front door.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you do the dooring. Camp has his hands around
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Carrie's neck. They both look at you. He drops his hands.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: She looks over at you. Hello, we're closed.
• 46:31

• 49:28
  Speaker 1: this is the first time anything's happened to my store.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: That's as though we need the protection. He says that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: the gangs in the city are dangerous and looking to expand.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: But we haven't really seen that eye. It's hard to
• 49:42

  Speaker 6: saw the Yakuza heading off somewhere and a bunch of bikes.
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: I left the little paper talisman with them. I kind
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: of want to follow up on what the gang activity is.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: I would sort of assume that they you know, what
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: the Yakuza is doing, but also the Irish mop to
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: just making sure that they're kind of gone but because
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: we've seen a little bit of their activity, we surface
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: and anyone I rough up to, I just want to.
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: I just want to beat up a bunch of people
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: along the way, you know, any any little petty crimes.
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: Beat them up, tell them the paper phantoms out there,
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: and then, you know, give them a little paper cut
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: under their fingernail or something. Yeah.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, he whoa you spread your name, do a
• 51:36

  Speaker 1: This paper talisman though. For four I'm gonna give you
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: like a big scene, like a big reveal.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: You track down this little paper talisman as you are
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: flying over the city, all the city, wanting everyone to
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: know the fear of the paper phantom. You attached a
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: little like origami piece.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just like a little strip with a specific like
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: symbol that I drew so I can always find it again.

  Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I just attached it to the back of
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: one of their motorcycles as they were they seemed to
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: be heading somewhere last week.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, it leads you surprisingly to you to a warehouse
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: in ask close to the dry docks. Even though the
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: hover bike had been ridden in from Kono. You saw
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: the bike sits with a bunch of other bikes stacked
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: outside of this warehouse. I'm glad it's not alone. I
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: don't want the bikes to be lonely. It's not the
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: same warehouse where you killed Seamus, but it's close. As
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: you think of leaving, you hear some loud shouting inside
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: of this wars. A large crowd yells excitedly. Yeah, I'll glide,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: I'll glide on over. Is there a kind of like
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: the other warehouse? Is there an access point on the
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: roof or high windows I can try and try and

• 53:34
  Speaker 1: good as I could have done, but ten, okay, I
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: rolled five. No one sees you as you slip in
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: through one of the high windows. Here's what you see.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: There's a young man dressed in a high end dark
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: green suit and tie, much like seamuses, and he sits
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: on something that's like a It's on a platform. It's
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: a large, high back, plush chair, red with brass buttons. Dang,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: that's a nice chair. Could read so many good books
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: in that chair. He looks over a large group of men,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: hundreds who were talking anxiously, and then he speaks softly,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: but it reverberates over the crowd. Quiet now report. Then
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: he looks at the man standing on the platform with him. Yeah, yeah,
• 54:40

• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Andrew God, rest his soul. Like half of the men
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: cross their chests. Our man, Andrew God, rest his soul.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: He took the head of the son of the oil
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: bon for show and tell. And then after your paw

  Speaker 1: was killed, the old man's daughter then brought her bikers
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: in here and took the heads of all of our captains.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: And we found them all except for her. Couldn't find her.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: But we'll find her eventually, and then we'll we'll have justice.

  Speaker 1: The young man stands from his throne, reaches into his jacket,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: pulls out a gun, and shoots the announcer in the head. Justice.

• 58:44
  Speaker 7: of seven sleeping over at my parents' house. And I
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: also would m there's a lot I want to do.
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I can fit tell you. I
• 58:56
  Speaker 7: know I can't get scenes of all these but things
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: that Jimmyer would want to do in a week, Spend
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: some time with the family, work a little. I really
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: want to drop off a note to Jackie, But I
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: don't know if I have time for that. That's maybe
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: my lowest priority. Maybe I'm just thinking about that more.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Like like he's the Jamir in the back of
• 59:19
  Speaker 7: his mind is I'm doing my deliveries, I'm flying around
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: the city. I'm thinking, like, how could I anonymously tip
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: Jackie off to some of the stuff I'm learning, So
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: that that that's.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: In Jamier's mind.
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: But the other thing I would want to do is
• 59:35
  Speaker 7: meet up with I mean probably not. I would definitely
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: mention it to Jason, but I doubt it would be
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: more relevant to him. But I would talk to Quanta
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: about how I think it's time we upgraded our outfits.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, is that part of your thread chasing? Oh yeah, okay,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: so we can save that for thread chasing.
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: To me, we're chasing those threads.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Litter so hungry. So I think we'll do family hangout
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: and you keep up with your work a little bit.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I think if you, I think I think your job
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: is the kind of job that if you don't show up,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: they just give your route to someone else.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so more work, more and more money for the
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: other delivery boys.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Right, So I think that you you do at least
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: show up to work a few days and get a
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: few routes in on A two and then yeah you
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: have uh you spend time with your family. I want
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: to uh hone in and get a little specific on
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: one of your family outings. I also want to explain
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the shoot a little bit, because I know we have
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: done so in Your Origin. But just in case for
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: people that haven't listen to that, did you go back
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: and listen to the Origins? Everyone? They're on our Patreon.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: There's a few references to them, even in this episode,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: with Quanta's vision and the shoot and even the killing
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: of Seamus that the paper Phantom did.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: To go back and listen to spoilers for the past.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: The backstory we they I already said it anyway, Sorry everyone,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: big spoilers for the Origins. Decades ago, when the massive
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: space barges were being launched into space, the Shoote protected
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: the people of the city from the fiery exhaust necessary
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: to propel these behemoth passenger carriers out of the atmosphere.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: When the space barge program was defunded and buried, all
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: of the displaced workers moved into the Hute. This included
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: some very brilliant engineers. One thing they did with their
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: time and resources was create shoot Ball.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: I'm ready for this.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: A strip of the Shute Jamir that is close to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: the station was converted to what's known as the Ring.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: The northern half of the ring is the original shoot concrete,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: and the southern half had to be built into a
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: symmetrical curve that met the shoot ceiling and floor. The
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: shoot is a quarter mile wide, so it's enormous, so
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: they couldn't play the game that far, so they had
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: to build kind of a secondary loop in there. The
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: concrete was ground down, sanded, and polished to be smooth
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: enough for inline and four wheel roller skates. But the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: amazing thing about shoot ball is halfway up the rounded
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: shoot wall on both sides, old gravitational tech from the
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: space era was installed by the displaced and disgruntled in engineers.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: So if you skate fast enough up the wall from
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the ground level, the gravity switches and you begin to
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: fall upwards. If you take enough care, you can use
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: that as momentum to start skating quickly on the ceiling
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: of the shoot. The goals are on the curved corners
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: where the wall becomes the ceiling, so players have to
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: utilize that gravitational switch. The ball was designed specially to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: float in between both gravitational polls. Left alone, it drifts
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: towards the middle. But as you can imagine, there's all
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: kind of shenanigans with gravity and throwing the ball one way,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: trying to curve it around people to get into the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: goal using the gravitational pull. The other rule is that
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the ball cannot be handled. It must be struck with
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: an object of your choosing. List of approved objects has
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: gotten smaller and smaller over the years. Most people use
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: either a long or short poll, depending on their position.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: I say all this to say that you are at
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: a match with your older sister Leah, to watch your
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: younger sister Lilah play shoot ball. Your sister Lilah is
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: on the shoot serpents and they are playing the Coso Condors. Yeah,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: go Coso. There is a large group of people sitting
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: around in the bleachers here that do rise up kind
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: of like an arena on either side of this ring.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: And your sister a Liah is here with you. All right,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: all right, here we go shooters. The strugle we're made
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: of and I love coming to these. Leah says, oh yeah,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, good, good, clean fun. As long as I'm
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: definitely like watching the Coasto players. I'm a big home
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: omer and Jamiir definitely believes that other teams play dirtier
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: than our team. Yeah, Leah says yeah, And then, honestly,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not as worried about the COSO as I am
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: about that ref. I know that that ref that ref
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: lives in SaaS, and I don't trust his ass.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 7: No, no, oh no, I think most of the refs
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: are shit. But hopefully our domination will overpower the ref
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: ball they're gonna.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Throw at us. That's all we can hope. Right, Always is,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: always is Golina. You guys are cheering. Come on, Lila,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: come on, speed girl. Over the course of the evening,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: the matches take about an hour and a half or so.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: These these shoot Serpents, let's roll for it. Let's just
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: roll D twenty highest wins, very simple mechanics only.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: I'll use my least, my least trustworthy die Ben.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: You should roll for the shoots. I'm rolling eight eleven.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: It's a close game, but the shoot Serpents on an
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: ending goal from your sister Lilah, take the win.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: The COSO condors have like logos on their sleeves that
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: are like supported by clank industries and just like a
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: big hot dog.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: And they're all like kicking the floor.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Throw their hot dogs on the ground like cooso.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a long walk home, piece of trash.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: They're backing up. Shoot ball can only be played in
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: the shoot and so but I think generally it's it's
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: a happy meeting other except for when Kno comes. Then
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: it gets the most chippy. You and your sister Leah
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: take Lila to a bar close by afterward for drinks
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: to celebrate. What's the drinking age in New Bamble Slash
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: the shoot? It is twenty one, But in the shoot
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: there are no police, and so there are shoot bars
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: where your sister can certainly drink. Your younger sister.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: She's like, she's like, what seventeen eighteen seventeen? All right,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: now you can't tell dad about this, but you can
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: have one drink.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, thanks, thanks, Yeah, appreciate it.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, mob would probably not really care, but definitely don't
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: tell Dad.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah I wouldn't. I don't even tell them. I play
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: for the serpents.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 7: They would forgell no, No, that's wise, But I mean,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: what's your plan when they find out? I mean, you're
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: pretty good. I'm not gonna lie word heard my get back.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not like it could. It's not
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: like I'm gonna go more pro. This is the only
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you're right. Maybe I should start
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: wearing a pseudonym. Huh. I mean the cool nickname is
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: always fun anyway. But yeah, man, I wish, I wish
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: this could be like an international sport.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 7: It really does capture the spirit of athletics in a
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 7: unique way.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's an interesting touch to.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: Meir's like wistful, like kind of ignoing his sisters for
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 7: a little bit, just thinking about, like what would like
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: an international system look like regulatory bore for you need
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: to get different shoots.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Of Jamir's mind. It's stupider than I thought. Leah looks
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: up and the TV's on and it's showing news footage
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: of Cordula Soma making her herself taking a truck of
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: fruit and veggies into the city and giving it to
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: the needy, and Leah looks up at it and is
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit you can tell she's kind of a
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: little exasperated and rolls her eyes a little bit. Hill,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: what was that? What was that? Oh, Jamiir's just it's
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: a stunt. You know, it's all stunt for political gain,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Like what does she want? What does she want to do? No, no, no,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: She's giving away food for free to people who need
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: the vitamin C and the yummy, yummy fruit tose that
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: those fruits hold.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: Okay, so I want to hear it. The Core gang.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: They're not perfect, but lately they've been killing it.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I know, Jamiir, They've made a ton of
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: promises to us. First though, you know, like, sure, they're
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: providing food, but what if they started selling that food
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: in the city instead of giving it away and increasing
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: our quality of life in the shoot or destroying the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: shoot altogether, break down the walls. No to be part
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: of the city. No no, no, no, no, no no. I
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: look around a picture. No one's listening. No, no one's listening. Leah,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Could you dude know where the fuck we are right now? Yeah?
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: I know where we are. I live, I grew up. Okay,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: No one's tear it down the shoot. Okay. It's a thought,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: it's an idea that could happen.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: It's a bad idea. Where do you getting this? We
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 7: can't tear this thing down. We would we'd be absorbed
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 7: by fucking Colorado South, or by ask or I don't know.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: They would have just let this neighborhood continue if the
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 7: if the walls weren't torn down.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Lila chimes in, would you too? Stop? This is we're
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: celebrating me tonight. Okay, I got a good goal. You
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: two are always at each other's throats. She takes that
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: middle child angle really hard. Right now. It's just like,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: could you guys please, It's just like, let's enjoy this shot.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I don't do this much because I can't in the city.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: I love it, nor should you. This is literal poison.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: It's bad for a growing brain, but in small doses
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: it's fun. Okay, Okay, Jimmy, I know, and I trust you.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not going crazy. You brought me here. I'm just
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: saying the two.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: Of you, I know, but I still need to lecture
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: you while I'm breaking our beard's ruled.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I understand. I love you guys, and thank
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: you for coming to my game. It means a lot.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: I receive your love. You and your siblings have a
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: nice night out. Yeah we do. Uh, Bronnie unmasked life
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: I gave zero, but I would love if you would
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: allow maybe that same name that I'm zipping through became
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: became lightning in the storm. I think where I end
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: is like close to my mom's neighborhood. So the lightning
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: and the thunder are still crashing and rumbling, and I
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: stop striking through the city and just kind of like
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: slink closer to my mom's house and just try to
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: like look in a window as the rain falls on me.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you peak, damn you peek in the window through
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: the rain.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: Brush my hand against nothing, and they.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: Pull the blinds down because he got a zero.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: All the pictures of me are gone.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Littering your mama. She is has a glass of white
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: wine in one hand.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: Oh classic moms.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: She and with her other hand she is massaging Sandy's
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: shoulder and then witches to her other shoulder as Sandy
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: just kind of has yeah. She she is pinching the
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: bridge of her nose. Classic and looking down. There's a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: cube nearby and a glass of brandy nearby. They do
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: seem stressed, and then they roll the blinds down because
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: you add zero.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Jason, just some classic superhero self torture.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I hate it. I love it.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I love it, but we need it. In Unmasked, I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: put the most hot dog like number one. Uh huh,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: what are you hoping to do?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: Phone in my job real hard. I think I just
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: want to like use my paper powers to just like
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: sort books and whatever.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't be able to catch me, but
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: I also don't I'm I'm fucking it up probably, But
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 6: mainly I want to want to check back in with Arthur.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: I gave him that book, and so I just want
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: to make sure he's he's chill, and also potentially relay
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: some of the info that I have about potential threats
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 6: to the library and see what he's doing.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: You go up to Arthur Jason either, I'm ready ready
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: to talk.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: Oh for real, I thought for sure you'd be dead.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 6: What I just I don't know.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I'm eighty six years young. I'm doing great.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you drink a lot of booze, and drink a
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: little booze. I don't drink it up like twice this month.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah that was a long time ago. I'm doing better. Okay,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: I'm ready to talk. He slaps down.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: He slaps down a newspaper in front of your face,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: where there's a picture of all three of you fighting
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: the Masterpiece. What does this beautiful snapshot look like? Y'all?
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: The Masterpiece has a giant alligator mouth and tentaclely arms.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: What are you guys doing? I think I've got the
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: laving whip around its snout. I'm pulling back on it.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: And I feel like, because because it's a newspaper picture,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: that that like light of the rope is like the.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: The lightning on the rope if it's black and white.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Just like casting like a bright light and then like
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: stark shadows of all of us and the Masterpiece around us.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 6: I would assume Jason is like awkwardly just standing arms
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 6: now it doesn't know what to do with his arms,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 6: like just at his sides, almost like like thumbs up.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: Let's say he's doing thumbs up at the camera. Wow,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: you guys are fighting the master Oh this is during
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: the fight.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 6: This like we got to pose with it like a fish. No, no, okay,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 6: yeah yeah, then in that case, i'll, yeah, I'll have
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: have a paper swords like slashing slashing into him.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Jamie will have his fist cocked back, teeth clenched,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 7: a little maybe a little bit of magical glow around
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 7: one of his fists.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: A reporter from the Tower got this amazing shot of
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: the three of you fighting the masterpiece. Arthur slams it
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: down on the table in front of you. Jason says,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: bring your friends. They need to hear.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay, sure, let me just turn the lights on
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: and off sequentially, give me a second.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Does that work? I don't know, Maybe it doesn't have
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: to be the same night. You can whatever you want
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: to do, all right, Well, but you're gonna die immediately
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: the brink of death. We'll put you guys together back
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: at the at the library. Tell you to what how
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: do how do Ronnie and Jamier show up to this?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: I would ask Jason, how much have you already told
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 7: this guy about us?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Like, like, does he know who we are? Be honest
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: with me please?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: I mean I think he's a general sense, but he
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: also I think he has he knows more than he's
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: letting on me. And like, I don't know if you're
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 6: gonna be able to trick this guy, Like I would
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: just I've never really been able to hide anything from him,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 6: So I mean, do you do whatever you feel safe doing.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: All right, let's have this meeting late.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: I'm out of patrol around the church and I just
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: feel like this, like annoying, like on off on off,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: on off on off, coming from the library, and I'm like, ah,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: and head to the library. And as I get closer,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: I start uh, skating on electrical wires rather than than
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: lightning to be a little bit quieter to get to
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: the roof. And then since I've been to Jason's room,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: like just kind of sneak my way in through the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: roof and end up in Jason's room.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: Where I'm just pulling a light switch stop in here. Yeah,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: but now I've gotten into a rhythm, you know, click, Yeah, I.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 7: Think Jamir, which when he shows up, he's wearing black sweats,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 7: nondescript sneakers, black hoodie tightened up very tightly so that
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 7: you can barely see the hint of some sort of
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 7: mask of some kind covering his face.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm wearing gloves too. Okay, you are hiding your
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: fingered gloves to hide my fingy prints. I'm trying to Yeah,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to come in sneakyeky. Are you hiding your visage? Yes, okay, yeah,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: got it. Arthur invites the three of you to a
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: table on the second floor of the library where the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: books start down. On the first floor, it's just tables
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: and cubbies and places to read and you know, cases
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: for older books. But on the second floor you start
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: to get those aisles and aisles of tomes. Arthur looks
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: at all three of you. Hello, my name's Arthur, Arthur Wright.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: You do not have to tell me your name. Do
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: not have to show me your face. I get it,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: it's fine.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: Just kind of make eye contact with Jason and jamr Wow, he's.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: Got a library card, I pointed to Jim heir, I have,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: we've got his info.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Hush, do you have.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: A library card, Rennie?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jason, Jason, I don't need to know. I don't
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: need to know. He looks at the two of you seriously.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you for taking care of Jason. He handles himself
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: pretty well, I know, but there will be times when
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: he needs you. Well we've needed him, that's true. Shut up, Arthur.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: We also have to clean up in the kitchen after him.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: A lot so if you could.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, do I know it? Okay, do I know it?
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: There's eyes start welling a little bit with tears as
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: he talks to you. He blinks away the water and says, okay,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: let's do it. Everything that I'm about to tell you
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: is subject to falsehood and query. Magic is not a history.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: It is not even a myth. It is a system
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: of power. And the system is taught in story. But
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: that says nothing of the historical accuracy of the tale.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: And one last thing. You may have questions about the
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: hero Spellbook. Jamir sits up a little. I will say
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: a fact or two about Spellbook, and then we'll not
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: speak of him any further. There is old magic and
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: there is new magic, and we'll end our episode right there.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: Well, oh my god, Arthur fucked Spellbook. What are we
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 6: gonna learn next time? Probably exactly.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: I think he nailed it.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: The two things, the two things he tells us about
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: the able book are we fucked in the library, and
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: then we fucked in the library again.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: I fucked Spellbook twice. That's too bad, says, This is
