Latest / The Multiverse Collective / Wild Wild West E10: Chicken & Associates, Demon Hunters
Transcript
- 0:00In this whole thing, the only thing I know about anything in
- 0:03this campaign, the six eyed demon is hot.
- 0:07That's all I know. Being a Demon Hunter, I see my
- 0:14fair share of crazy things, but this, this is up there.
- 0:18While searching for the widows, still one upon three strange
- 0:21compadres fighting a meat sack wearing demon on a burned up
- 0:25homestead, I decided to lend a hand.
- 0:29I brought them back to my cabin to see if they knew anything
- 0:31about the widows. As I began educating them on
- 0:35demons, the little man they call Ichi began acting very strange.
- 0:39Must be something with that horse of his.
- 0:42Nonetheless, now I have a very attractive member of Lemain
- 0:46Noir, a freaked out foreigner with blessed hands, and an
- 0:50unconscious man with a fork wound sitting in my kitchen.
- 0:57The Multiverse. Collective.
- 1:40Where we last left off, we were in Matthew Chicken caches, log
- 1:47cabin, out in the woods, out kind of surrounding Amadeus
- 1:52Springs. Arthur had just asked a lot of
- 1:55pertinent questions. Itchy seemingly lost his horse,
- 1:59although he doesn't know that yet, and Slick Slick had his
- 2:03handkerchief complimented. In a non sexual way.
- 2:09Specifically. It was super sexual.
- 2:12I didn't make it weird at all. All right, whatever you do want
- 2:16to say. And I do believe Mr. Cash was
- 2:20preparing to answer Arthur's questions.
- 2:24First things first, boys, you need to meet up with Preacher
- 2:27King Curtis. He's a travelling preacher man
- 2:31who's kind of an ally of the Guild.
- 2:33He always finds a way to get in possession of certain weapons
- 2:38that are either blessed or cursed, but they'll help you get
- 2:40the job done if you cross paths with a demon.
- 2:44You know where you might find him.
- 2:46Last I saw him he was in Friendswood.
- 2:48It's about a two day ride from here.
- 2:51So he can he can give us the hook up with some silver.
- 2:54He can get you what you're looking for.
- 2:55If there's anything else so you guys are willing to part with
- 2:58anything, I can give you the sight.
- 3:01That way you can at least see what you're shooting at.
- 3:03What do you need? What do you have to offer?
- 3:06About free fitting. What could I give?
- 3:21You got silver coins? I'm not giving the way of silver
- 3:23coins. If you're scared of him, this
- 3:24man should be scared of him. That's not how Arthur's thinking
- 3:27right now. What exactly is the site?
- 3:30Well, all I know is once you come in contact with a demon now
- 3:35for you make a deal, you can see anything that's demon related,
- 3:40anyone who's been touched by him or any kind of findings that
- 3:44come along the way. That's how I knew this portal
- 3:46was going to be here. I could feel it.
- 3:49I can already tell. You got some of it and he's
- 3:52going to lean over and kind of nudge the unconscious itchy.
- 3:57He's got some of it, too. He's got a lot of demons in his
- 4:00blood, son. I don't.
- 4:01I don't think I have much to offer.
- 4:04I won't lie to you. About one of those soul coins.
- 4:08The what now? The little silver doodad you're
- 4:11carrying around in your pocket, I've seen you flooding with him.
- 4:15I'm going to take take one out and be like.
- 4:19How did you know about these? You never heard of a soul coin
- 4:23before? I told you to explain everything
- 4:26to me like I'm in the third, like a three-year old learning
- 4:28the. ABC's You made a deal with the
- 4:30Demon, didn't you? Not.
- 4:34I've been trying to get him to figure that out.
- 4:36OK, I'm going to attempt to think about it again and try and
- 4:40have a coherent memory about that whole 15 minutes instead of
- 4:45having it all jumbled up. So I'm not really sure what's
- 4:47going on. I'm going to.
- 4:48I'm going to hold the soul coin in my hand and squeeze it and
- 4:52think. I will give you fair warning
- 4:56that this is all you're able to remember without having full use
- 5:01of the site. It's all a jumbled mess.
- 5:04You have all the individual memories, you just can't put the
- 5:06puzzle together. The only time I was at a
- 5:10crossroad, I think it was some time recently it was some and my
- 5:17wife. Was I'm going to flick him a
- 5:21coin. Yeah, I think he's going to
- 5:25catch it in his hand and in doing so.
- 5:28One for both or do you need one for Itchy 2?
- 5:31I don't give a fuck about that dude yet.
- 5:34Let me find out what I need to find out first.
- 5:38Yeah, the moment the coin touches his hand, two things
- 5:42happen, Arthur. All of your memories flood back.
- 5:46They're completely coherent. You remember everything that
- 5:48happened. You remember why you did what
- 5:51you did. And Mr. Cash, you get an extra
- 5:54skill point. Oh, OK.
- 5:58So I need to change that to 19 coins.
- 6:02Yes, yes, OK. Dear God.
- 6:10Oh hey fellers. I think I hit my head something
- 6:19fierce. Son, you were you fell while we
- 6:24were chopping what out there, but you then you're not having
- 6:28like this this like seizure and I tied you to that chair for
- 6:33your own good. Like I would have.
- 6:39Such a fucking bad person anyway.
- 6:42Shit. Hey, Arthur.
- 6:45Thank you. I mean, I appreciate that.
- 6:49It's all good. You feeling better dude?
- 6:50You feeling better? Yeah, I mean.
- 6:53I'm going to walk my. Eye is kind of like throbbing.
- 6:57I had like this. Free pong This 4 pronged stick
- 7:01stuck into your leg. I just, I just ripped it out.
- 7:06Shit. Damn.
- 7:08Well it still kind of hurts to move, but you know.
- 7:14I mean Evander is a trained Dr., I guess I could get him to take
- 7:18a look at this. He's right outside, son, He's
- 7:21right outside. I think itchy, like, like
- 7:27wobbles slowly up to his feet and like, limps out the door and
- 7:31he's just like Evander. Evander where?
- 7:35Evander. Evander, I need your doctorate
- 7:37skills. Come on.
- 7:39Yeah, Evander comes over and doctors you up and you're able
- 7:43to just go back inside. You don't regain your health
- 7:46point, but you know. Yeah, oh, do I take any more
- 7:50health for being knocked the fuck out?
- 7:53No, we're going to say no for now.
- 7:55You're so paper thin and you know Arthur knocked you
- 7:59unconscious gently, in the way that only a friend could.
- 8:05Man, maybe this episode should be called Mixed Signals.
- 8:12I'm going to look at chicken and blood.
- 8:15So what do these soul coins, as you call them, do?
- 8:21Hang on back up, soul coins. It's a long story, but we'll
- 8:30explain it to you on the route to friend would, friends would,
- 8:33friends would. It's all good, but well, I'll
- 8:37explain everything that happened while you're unconscious when we
- 8:39start riding out. All right, all right.
- 8:42Sounds good. I'll just kind of sit.
- 8:44I'll just kind of sit over here in the corner and see if I can
- 8:47pick anything up. OK, yeah, you, you do that
- 8:49Itchy, you do that. OK, so.
- 8:52Chicken's going to spin the coin and then try to like stop it
- 8:56with his finger with it without falling over and he's just going
- 9:00to kind of look at Arthur and say, so you don't know how these
- 9:04are created is. This what brain damage feels
- 9:08like. Yes, son, I up until 33 seconds
- 9:14ago when I gave you that cone, I had no idea that I had met a
- 9:18crossroads demon. So.
- 9:20But you remember now, don't you? I do, yes.
- 9:23Would Ichi also remember? No, Ichi hasn't made any sort of
- 9:27trade for the site yet. So yeah, I need, I need, I need
- 9:33to know there's some reason why slicks wanted to stay away from
- 9:37these things and I need to know why.
- 9:39Well, they say once the soul's transferred to that epidemic,
- 9:44they go inside of these coins. So that means there's a coin
- 9:48somewhere out there has your pretty face on it.
- 9:51OK just answer me this quick question.
- 9:55What happens if I find said coin, regain it?
- 10:00Do I get my soul back? It's possible.
- 10:03Not many have been able to do that though.
- 10:06Heck, there's even a coin out there with my ugly mug on it.
- 10:11Damn well I'm from what that demon told me she she's going to
- 10:19ensure my revenge is sweet so. Did she tell you her name?
- 10:25Son, she looked like my wife. My wife died 8 years ago.
- 10:28Yeah, they're crafty bastards. I I couldn't have cared less in
- 10:33that moment what her, what her name was.
- 10:36She, she's the one woman I ever loved.
- 10:38And that's what she looked like. That's fair.
- 10:41That reminds me of a story. You know what, this one's on the
- 10:45House and I'm going to give him the sight.
- 10:48I think I just feel bad for him. Yeah.
- 10:52That's fair. Like he's been wheeled, he's
- 10:56been stabbed with a fork like, and ultimately he made him some
- 11:00really good. Pasta inside of your cheese.
- 11:03That's true, yeah. There is like a slowly
- 11:05congealing wheel of cheese full of pasta sitting in the middle
- 11:09of the table that you guys are just like ignoring as you're
- 11:11having this conversation, all those conversations.
- 11:14Itchy Itchy walks over to the table and he's like hey, y'all
- 11:18might want to eat that before. Oh dear God, I remember
- 11:21everything. Yeah, and Itchy, as you gain the
- 11:25sight, you have a full understanding of what you just
- 11:29did. You.
- 11:29Oh, God damn it. You're going to make me do
- 11:33another interlude. Fuck, yeah, we'll circle back to
- 11:39that. But essentially Itchy.
- 11:41You know fully, You know fully that you traded Evander to an
- 11:47incredibly powerful entity for a single meal of cheese.
- 11:51Yeah, just now. Ichi breaks down in tears.
- 11:56He never even belonged to you in the 1st place since he came
- 11:59back. You know he wasn't the same
- 12:00Evander. You fully know it's not the
- 12:03horse that you killed and it was the pissimile.
- 12:06But. Ichi stops crying.
- 12:09You're OK son, you you, you had like a full 4 second mental
- 12:12breakdown there. Yeah, this is pretty jarring to
- 12:17watch, I imagine. Arthur I feel the I feel the
- 12:20mental breakdown is is going to be much longer than 4 seconds
- 12:23and I, I fear that it's only just started.
- 12:26Do you? Want me to slap you again?
- 12:28Please. I think Chicken is going to tell
- 12:42the boys. I think there's a whole new
- 12:46world that you guys are going to understand doesn't operate on
- 12:50the same level as what it did before.
- 12:52You're going to see a lot of the Guild members that I'm a part
- 12:55of. We got bounties on our heads
- 12:57because, well, demons have the souls of anybody political.
- 13:03Any major importance. They want us dead because what,
- 13:07we kill them? There's there's one highly
- 13:16political man. That I am.
- 13:19Looking for Mr. Cash? Oh, I'm going to roll something
- 13:24here. When Niall thinks of something.
- 13:30Arthur drops the accent. I'm looking for a man.
- 13:35He goes by the name of Jebediah Rainey.
- 13:37It's. Like it's like you heard that
- 13:41too? Or is this just?
- 13:42We knew. Is this just?
- 13:43We talked about this, but. When?
- 13:462 days ago. What?
- 13:48I've heard of them. Do you have any leads on this
- 13:54fine gentleman? Not this time.
- 13:57Am I faxing Liam myself too because I don't remember shit
- 14:00about this conversation? You talked about it on horses
- 14:03that you shut up when they talk. I've been put on one task and
- 14:07one task only, and that's to make sure that a bunch of soul
- 14:10coins don't end up in the wrong hands.
- 14:13I mean these soul coins are mine, not yours.
- 14:19When I'm talking about a lot of soul coins, I'm talking about a
- 14:21huge shipment of soul coins. Is it the 200 soul coins that
- 14:27were meant to go into Holy Cedar?
- 14:32It very well could be the two girls that had information on
- 14:35it. You told me we're dead.
- 14:39Yeah. Shit.
- 14:43Well, I can, I can give you. Let's do a trade of information
- 14:46here. You tell me where I can find out
- 14:48more about Jebediah Rene, and I'll tell you about the location
- 14:51where I killed those two lovely women of yours and where about
- 14:54the proximate location the the soul coins are or were because
- 15:00they were stolen from by the person who asked me to go and
- 15:02capture them. How about a counter offer?
- 15:06OK, how about you boys become, we'll say, partners to the
- 15:11Guild. You help us in long run, we help
- 15:14you. And I'm sure there's plenty of
- 15:17people in the Guild. They can get you that name, they
- 15:20can get you that location, you can get any anything you really
- 15:24need, but you have to be willing to help us out.
- 15:29Let me I. Reckon we'd do that?
- 15:33Sorry, I we may have discussed this.
- 15:36Apparently I don't remember anything about anything, so OK.
- 15:40Y'all three days ago you confronted Arthur about him
- 15:43being. It was literally yesterday, it
- 15:46was literally yesterday when we were on the on the ride into
- 15:48that town with the weird guy with the fiddle in the bar where
- 15:53the guy was, where we asked questions.
- 15:56Alarm. Yeah, horse alarm went off,
- 15:58which, which is weird. What the hell?
- 16:00Oh, all right, all right now. Now I'm following.
- 16:03Now I'm following. And then used to, oh, yeah,
- 16:07yesterday, or was it this morning?
- 16:08It might have been this morning, you confronted me saying, you
- 16:11know, you need to be honest with you and Slick blahdy blah, blah.
- 16:14And I was like, I'm hiding my identity, blahdy, blahdy, blah.
- 16:17And then Slick was like, I know. And then we continued writing,
- 16:20and that was it. Golly, I said that.
- 16:23Yes. Are we sure that I'm not a I'm
- 16:27not a demon myself? Look, man.
- 16:28CTE is a bitch. What day is it?
- 16:34Friday, I'm going to turn back. Let me just confer with my
- 16:40associates here. Obviously I have no prior
- 16:45engagements with any sort of association, but you know, this
- 16:50guy has a dressage small, a small doing dressage ranch.
- 16:56And I have no idea what Slick did before any of this.
- 16:59So, but apparently you've seen his handkerchief before, which,
- 17:04you know, which was really weird to say.
- 17:06I like your handkerchief and then Winker, that's why I got
- 17:09the mixed signal. That's like he.
- 17:10Knew what I was talking about. He might have, but the rest of
- 17:14us didn't. I'm loving this full mental
- 17:17breakdown. From everybody except Slick.
- 17:25Speaking of how, how would Slick feel about joining with the
- 17:28Guild? Because I don't know if like I
- 17:31know we talked a little bit about it, but like how what's
- 17:34the relationship between like Le Maine Noir and.
- 17:37The Guild, I mean, they, they run in the same circles, they
- 17:40know of each other, but I don't. So there wouldn't be any like
- 17:43taboo with working alongside. The no, I don't think so.
- 17:46I mean, I think you're just sort of beholden to not hurt Asmodeus
- 17:49and that's. That's all I was really
- 17:52concerned with. I just didn't know if there was
- 17:53any background there. God damn it, bless.
- 18:03You. That was like 36 sneezes I'm.
- 18:06Glad you got to witness one of Rye's.
- 18:08Epics that happens every single recording session without fail.
- 18:13She's allergic to us. Every single time I'm in, we're
- 18:18in a game where we both have a character.
- 18:20I'll always say bless you or ask if she's had the antihistamines
- 18:23that day. All right, well, to to keep it
- 18:32above board. The one thing that I thought
- 18:34that I had, I no longer have. So I've got I've got nothing
- 18:40that ties me to this mortal plane.
- 18:42I'm in for whatever. So sad, but it's in the itching
- 18:46voice. And the worst thing is I did it
- 18:51to myself for this now quickly congealing wheel of cheese so
- 18:56y'all better y'all better eat up this is this was a heinous
- 19:01decision on my part. I mean, technically you still do
- 19:07have your horse. If if everything if everything
- 19:11that is going on here is making any sense to me.
- 19:16I traded stuff and now have the strength to beat the man I want
- 19:23to kill. That is that is what I got from
- 19:26my deal. You apparently got a wheel of
- 19:28cheese and a demon horse like. The problem is Arthur.
- 19:33I feel like the issue is he got the wheel of cheese for the
- 19:36demon horse. Wait so he traded again?
- 19:40I'm so confused. That makes two of us.
- 19:45Why would you trade trade a demon horse for a wheel of
- 19:48cheese it? I didn't know I was trading my
- 19:52demon horse for a wheel of cheese.
- 19:54If I had known that, maybe I would have thought for a second.
- 20:00OK, OK. It's like a, it's like a turn
- 20:03back to chicken and just be like, I guess we'll take the
- 20:06deal. They'll be fine.
- 20:11I'll deal with it. Fair enough.
- 20:14Also, it's still not been explained what these soul coins
- 20:16do, except they have people's souls in.
- 20:19I need to know what I'm carrying in my pocket.
- 20:21That's what they do. You're carrying 19 souls in your
- 20:24pocket. OK, I'm going to put my hand in
- 20:26the pocket of 19 soul coins. What happens?
- 20:37OK, so I roll the die. You feel this surge of power
- 20:44kind of coursing through you as you stick your hand into your
- 20:48pocket and I think touching so many of them at once, you feel
- 20:53their collective conscience. You feel them.
- 20:58It's like your soul is brushing up against theirs, and you feel
- 21:02their desperation. And this is the first human
- 21:05contact they've had since they've been imprisoned.
- 21:10Damn. Yeah, they're just, they're
- 21:13calling out to you. They're begging you to save
- 21:15them. I'm.
- 21:16Going to take my hand out and be like what happens if we kill the
- 21:20demon that made the coins? And the deal's broken.
- 21:27I'm going to. I'm in.
- 21:29I'll fucking do it. I'll do what you need.
- 21:31Well, First things first, stay away from Galveston.
- 21:36That's going to be my first an only warning.
- 21:40I mean, I knew Galveston was. I know people call Galveston
- 21:43hell on earth, but I didn't realize it was that serious.
- 21:47Before I left, they told me there's a lot of activity
- 21:52growing there. It's seems to be concentrated
- 21:55for some reason. I can feel it just being here.
- 21:59No shit. I'm going to look at Slick.
- 22:02I'm having revelations here. I'm having.
- 22:05I'm watching it man. You're everything.
- 22:10Watch. I'm going to look at Slick and
- 22:12be like, was that man on the horse the other day, the one
- 22:16that like for some reason stopped all presence of movement
- 22:20when the sheriff died like a demon?
- 22:23Oh, I remember that. Yeah, that's why I said we
- 22:26shouldn't go after it. OK.
- 22:28That was something bigger. Did we have a conversation who
- 22:31we figured out who it was? No, I must have missed that.
- 22:34We don't know who it was. All right.
- 22:36But I can tell you that it's more powerful than whatever the
- 22:38hell you guys dealt with your crossroads.
- 22:42But some for some reason it did seem familiar because at that
- 22:45moment I sort of had the first inkling of remembering
- 22:49everything. Yeah.
- 22:51Yeah, I don't know if it was just I could just be a quink
- 22:54quinky dink, but fuck right. So I suppose you should know.
- 23:00Oh shit, piss boy. Oh shit, oh shit.
- 23:04Piss piss boy. Mr. Cash, are you like my boss
- 23:11now? Is this how it works?
- 23:13We're we're all on the same level.
- 23:16Oh, sick. OK, chicken.
- 23:21You can just call me Matt or Mr. Cash.
- 23:23Please don't call me Chicken. OK, Matt.
- 23:25OK, we'll stick with that. You are going to Holy Cedar,
- 23:29correct? You've got to go and pick up.
- 23:31You've got to go through Holy Cedar to go and get those coins.
- 23:35Well, right now I'm just doing some digging up.
- 23:37I'm going to need a whole lot more than just me for what's
- 23:40about to happen. OK, OK, OK.
- 23:43I don't give a fuck about the rest of the people in that town.
- 23:46There is one man. I made him sheriff.
- 23:52He's only a small young child. You talking about piss boy?
- 23:56I'm talking about piss boy. Yeah, I meant.
- 24:00He really gets around. No kidding.
- 24:04Piss boy, I never even learned his name, but you know, he's
- 24:09young, he's impressionable, and if this demon motherfucker is
- 24:12going to make him his bitch, I don't want that to happen to
- 24:15him. When we leave here I'll be sure
- 24:19to reach out to the Guild. We'll get pissed boy the right
- 24:22protection he needs. And then what the fuck was the
- 24:26name of the judge? Oh shit.
- 24:27Coolidge. Yeah, Jennifer Coolidge, Judge
- 24:33I. Think his name was Calvin.
- 24:36Judge Coolidge had the coins had and then your two now very
- 24:44deceased gal pals stole them and then hit him in the woods about
- 24:4940 like a 30 minute ride down past it.
- 24:54Wait, were they the good guys all along?
- 24:56Yes, it's a whole thing. Dear God, what have we done?
- 25:03What has Arthur done that's on him?
- 25:05Yeah, I didn't know they had a bounty.
- 25:07Like I'm a bounty hunter. It's it's one of those things.
- 25:13I'm going to pass him my book. I'm going to pass Matt my book
- 25:20and be like, just look through there, tell me if anybody else I
- 25:23have killed is part of the Guild and then let me know about this
- 25:30one at the top. And it's obvious it's Byron
- 25:32Black on the line. I'm also looking for him because
- 25:34he should have answers for what I need to know.
- 25:37Hey, you know what? If we're if we're passing names,
- 25:42Matt does. Does the name Ezekiel
- 25:45Blankenship ring any bells? No, not Ezekiel.
- 25:50Should it? What do you mean not Ezekiel?
- 25:52Should it ring bells to me? The way you said it feels like
- 25:54you know another Blankenship. Does he know another
- 25:57Blankenship? I don't necessarily think he
- 26:01would know Ezekiel. Ezekiel's kind of a lower level
- 26:04player compared to the folks that you've been dealing with.
- 26:09You may have heard the name in passing just because he is
- 26:11associated with Jr. On occasion, but he wouldn't be
- 26:16somebody that you've like actively sought knowledge on.
- 26:20OK. Oh, boys, names are names.
- 26:24I knew the widow was a little bit better just because I worked
- 26:27side by side with him and he's going to going to slide the book
- 26:29back to Arthur. Pick it up.
- 26:32Put in his pocket again. Yeah, I, I don't think he would
- 26:36specifically know Byron Black, other than the fact that he is a
- 26:39fairly notorious, you know, hit man who's worked the area for
- 26:46the last few years. I think Ichi is nursing a TBI
- 26:50right now so I don't think Ichi knows what the hell is going on.
- 26:54I think Matt will look at Slick and he'll say, how familiar are
- 26:59you with Lemain Noir? You carry their symbol.
- 27:03What about a man? What is that the the black Hand?
- 27:08Wow. Actually, yes it is.
- 27:11Yeah, I speak a little bit of French.
- 27:14No, it's German. This slick's going to stay
- 27:28quiet, I guess, and see what you're going to say about it,
- 27:32because he's more curious to know what you know.
- 27:34If you're familiar with them, you can answer your buddy's
- 27:36question. Sorry.
- 27:43About Byron Black you're talking about?
- 27:45Yeah. Above table, above table.
- 27:49I fucking called it fucking when I went down the rabbit hole a
- 27:52couple weeks ago. Slicks is going to shake his
- 27:55head and go. I don't know nothing about Byron
- 27:59Black. If I did, I'd have told.
- 28:03Him. No.
- 28:04Maybe a bit more careful when you're carrying around things
- 28:06that belong to certain things. He's gonna wink again.
- 28:14Oh, do we need to leave the room?
- 28:15No, no, no, no, no. Apparently this handkerchief is
- 28:19really important for some reason.
- 28:20You missed a lot while you're unconscious.
- 28:23They're not gay. Well, I was going to say I
- 28:28support you all if if that were the case.
- 28:42OK, So what you're telling me here is Le Maine Noir has the
- 28:49answers to Byron Black, and he's going to write that in his book
- 28:53about I'll be sure to find somebody and ask them questions.
- 28:56And I bet Byron Black has the answer to Ezekiel.
- 28:59I can bring it to him. I know a lot of them.
- 29:02Wait, what? He points at the handkerchief
- 29:04and goes. How do you think I know all this
- 29:06shit man? Was there no other signs?
- 29:09Like is there no other signs to see if someone's part of the
- 29:13main wild other than the handkerchief?
- 29:18You're forgetting about your playing cards like.
- 29:20Well, I'm not going to tell them you're.
- 29:22Forgetting about your OK. Do you know where I'm going to
- 29:27look at Matt and be like, do you know any of any other ways?
- 29:31Well, no, without information. I just noticed his handkerchief
- 29:36and it's a pretty prominent symbol.
- 29:39Most people don't just carry that around.
- 29:41Oh, I had a feeling it might come in handy.
- 29:44Yeah. Between I, he, he, he looks at
- 29:49Matt and goes. I I I feel like I got a couple
- 29:52warnings I should give to you coming from The Maine Noir.
- 29:56First of all, I know you don't like it, but from now on, you
- 30:00should probably go buy chicken. Don't say your real name
- 30:02anymore. Name set power.
- 30:04It's a real problem. There's a reason nobody knows my
- 30:07real name. Second of all, I'm sure you know
- 30:10who this is, but Don Ruiz is in town, so keep your eye out.
- 30:15Right. I'm going to like, is there any,
- 30:16like there's any whiskey or anything on the shelf in this
- 30:22cabin? Yeah.
- 30:24Yep, there's I'm going to stand up, grab the bottle of whiskey
- 30:27and shove it into Itch's hand and just be like, fucking take a
- 30:30good swig of that. That'll be real.
- 30:33Great fix for a traumatic brain injury.
- 30:36You forget about the. Price from Arthur.
- 30:39Hell, it's like a look at the other guys and go while we're
- 30:42here and we're talking about it, this place is the last place
- 30:46either of you will ever say your real names.
- 30:48Itchy. We don't know yours.
- 30:49You go by Itchy. You're doing a good job already.
- 30:52Arthur, You fucked up. You told us your real name
- 30:55yesterday or this morning, whenever that was.
- 30:57I've been telling you my real name the whole time.
- 30:59Yeah, you need to stop. Figure something else out.
- 31:03There's a reason I go by Slick. Yeah, fuck knows.
- 31:07I'll figure something out. You know me, it's I normally
- 31:13throw fists first, ask questions later, like.
- 31:17As long as you don't say your last name, you should be fine.
- 31:20I don't think. I think only I've only said my
- 31:23last name once in the last, yeah.
- 31:26When you told us who you were. Yep.
- 31:29So yeah, that's the only time you were the only people who
- 31:31heard my name in in the whole of.
- 31:33Are we? Yeah.
- 31:35There were three of us there, Arthur.
- 31:38Oh shit, the fucking demon horse.
- 31:40Oh shit, God damn. It wherever, wherever that thing
- 31:46is, it knows your name. Fuck.
- 31:48OK, Yeah. Speaking of wherever that thing
- 31:52is, where's he? Where's Evander?
- 31:56Evander's in hell. You traded him for a wheel of
- 31:59cheese. Oh yeah.
- 32:03That's fine, That's where he's from anyway, so.
- 32:07I had a whole thing I was going to do with Evan.
- 32:09I also had a whole thing I was going to do with Evan.
- 32:12Then he this slick looks back at chicken and goes.
- 32:16So from now on, I know you hate it.
- 32:17You're chicken, you understand. Yeah, we'll let it slide down.
- 32:22I don't think name seems to be the thing that you're most
- 32:23scared of though. Well, I think you need to be a
- 32:27little bit more scared of it too.
- 32:30When it's my time, it's my time. OK, I my my name is now Pete
- 32:39Smith. How do you spell that?
- 32:49How do you say the? Correct.
- 32:51Way, thank God. PEAT.
- 32:57PEAT is for my heart and my heart only, thank you very much.
- 33:01And no, I don't want my son's name to be taken by the demons.
- 33:05And I'm smelling Smith with an E at the end.
- 33:08Perfect. All right, yeah, like I said,
- 33:13Chicken Don Ruiz is in the area looking for me, so.
- 33:17Well, as long as I don't cross him at night time he'll be safe.
- 33:22I'll get you a why at night time.
- 33:26Did I miss something? This whole no, in those 15
- 33:29minutes that we left you alone earlier, did you have like a
- 33:31whole conversation that we weren't Privy to or?
- 33:35Well, yes, but that wasn't part of it.
- 33:37I mean, you left it. What the hell else we're going
- 33:38to do? Sit here and stare at each
- 33:39other? What the fuck?
- 33:40I mean, I mean, we know burn in the sun, so they come out at
- 33:44night. I mean, do demons burn in the
- 33:48sun? I'm going to look straight at
- 33:50that chicken. I mean, it was daytime when we
- 33:51fought that one outside, right? Like.
- 33:54No, they don't just like you, you boys.
- 33:57I I have a little extra oomph I got from a demon and let's just
- 34:03say I'm pretty good with my firearms at night time.
- 34:08Oh, OK. I know what I'm thinking of.
- 34:11I was thinking of draculars. Oh, that's just the superstition
- 34:19made by mothers to make the children not go outside at
- 34:21night. Yeah, I know.
- 34:23That's a fiction book. I read Bram Stoker.
- 34:26Oh, I forgot you were from a dressage ranch that was known
- 34:30worldwide. Yeah, I know.
- 34:33My, I know. My voice doesn't really give it
- 34:35away, but I was a bit of a worldly gentleman in her past
- 34:38life is. There any other questions you
- 34:41boys have? I have several, but I don't
- 34:43think any of them are going to be answered at the moment.
- 34:45Fair enough. Is I don't know how to word this
- 34:50question. I've got so many thoughts going
- 34:53around my head, right? My brain can't handle all this
- 34:58information that my it's absorbing from the last six
- 35:01months of us playing this game. Yeah, this pay off is even
- 35:07sweeter than I imagined it would be.
- 35:10You've got to see me flap my arms and punch my chair so.
- 35:20Is there any telltale signs for people who have made deals with
- 35:25demons? You'll be able to see it now you
- 35:28have the sight. What am I looking for?
- 35:31Arthur, look at your arms. Yeah, I'm cool.
- 35:37I'm swole. I'm looked.
- 35:39Real close at your arms. And Arthur, you would see the
- 35:43thread wrapped around your arms. Is it like tied in a oh, it's
- 35:48like a void? Oh, that doesn't seem healthy.
- 35:53You'd notice that itchy has the same thread.
- 35:56Does that mean can I look at chicken and see if he has a
- 36:00thread that is the same as ours? When you look at chicken, you
- 36:05don't see a thread. You see the face of a demon when
- 36:10you look truly into his eyes. OK, so not.
- 36:14A fan of that didn't realise that was the situation.
- 36:16That is fucking horrific. Yeah.
- 36:19He has like he has the ability to like essentially put a
- 36:22glamour over himself so that he doesn't look horrific to those
- 36:26with the sight. But when you.
- 36:28Concentrate. You can.
- 36:30Shit, the one thing I've not done since I have the sight, I'm
- 36:32going to pull a fucking soul clone out and actually look at
- 36:35it and look and actually see what's going on.
- 36:38Oh yeah, I mean, if we could do that here, throw it on the
- 36:42table, I want to see one. Yeah, I'll put it down like in
- 36:44the centre of the table. Yeah, you pull a coin out and
- 36:50it's intricate and it's beautiful.
- 36:53And the face looks at you, Arthur, and it looks a lot like
- 36:59Grace Kelly in her features. And it's familiar, Arthur.
- 37:07It's so familiar. Can I roll and analyze?
- 37:11Is that what I do? You don't have.
- 37:12To roll and analyze, Arthur, you already know exactly what this
- 37:16is and what this means, and someone has to be messing with
- 37:22you for this to be here in Texas where you are.
- 37:27How many thousands of miles this coin must have travelled to make
- 37:32it here, Arthur? Hey, Arthur, you're looking a
- 37:40little pale there, brother. I'm going to pick up the coin.
- 37:45I'm going to put it like in the breast pocket of my jacket or
- 37:51whatever it is. I'm going to stand up.
- 37:55I'm going to open the door. I'm going to put me hat back on.
- 37:59I'm going to be like I'm going for a walk.
- 38:02If you hear anything, do not come out of this fucking house
- 38:06or I'll hurt you too. I need several moments alone and
- 38:14I'm going to like slam the door behind me and just walk into the
- 38:17middle of the forest. Slick, Slick looks over at it
- 38:20and goes, what do you think he's going to do with that coin?
- 38:22That was a pretty hot picture on there.
- 38:26Unspeakable things, the locks of which I don't even want to
- 38:30consider. He must have winked at him.
- 38:37The tell tale signs when a coin winks back at you, it's on Fuck.
- 38:52This is my favorite. Honestly like you said it and
- 38:57then my my eyes started tearing up.
- 38:59I was like, if I have a conversation now after the
- 39:01crying ones today, after the edit for the fucking episode, Oh
- 39:08fuck. I'm going to go through the
- 39:10other kinds. Yeah, because if there's one of,
- 39:12if there's one of my wife, why wouldn't there be one of my son?
- 39:15You don't find one of your son, you find other people you find
- 39:24not anyone that you would recognise.
- 39:27They're just also very normal looking.
- 39:30They all look so normal and they all look at you and their eyes
- 39:35are sad and they're desperate and all of these people, when
- 39:39your fingers graze their coins, you feel them cry out to you for
- 39:43help. And when you touch your wife's
- 39:46coin, when you touch Clarissa's coin, you just feel a sigh of
- 39:51relief, like her waiting is finally over and she trusts you
- 39:57to help her fix this. Fuck, fuck you, right?
- 40:02Out of curiosity, what kind? Of skill point does your wife's
- 40:04coin give? Yeah, Arthur, do you want to use
- 40:08your wife's? Remaining.
- 40:10Is it a horn point? I'm not, I'm not using.
- 40:13I'm not. I need.
- 40:16Several points for monogamy. Well.
- 40:22We can be sure it ain't analyzed because she couldn't read.
- 40:25Right. So now free his head, he's got
- 40:27to be like, there's got to be a way on the coins to figure out
- 40:30who, who, who made the coins. So I'm going to like, burst back
- 40:34in to the cabin, Jesus Christ. Arthur Well, I was quick.
- 40:41Shut your fucking mouse for a minute boys.
- 40:43I'm going to look straight at chicken and be like, is there
- 40:46any fucking way for me to find out who made these fucking
- 40:48coins? Maybe.
- 40:50That's not the answer I fucking wanted.
- 40:52That's the only one I got. I got it.
- 40:55Turn it over, Arthur. I'll turn the coin over.
- 40:59Six eyes, three sets of eyeballs on the back of the coin.
- 41:05There's your demon. OK, OK, I flip it back over.
- 41:10And chicken. You would recognize the three
- 41:13sets of eyes. You would know that is Lilith's
- 41:19Insignia. Well, you're going to have a
- 41:23hard time on your hands there, boy.
- 41:26Don't talk, Don't call me boy when we're talking about my
- 41:28fucking wife. Tell me who this fucking demon
- 41:30is and where I can find this fucking bitch and I'm going to
- 41:34go and fuck her shit up. Arthur, what have we talked
- 41:39about? I don't.
- 41:42Care that that is a demon on that coin.
- 41:44You are going to be respectful one way or another.
- 41:47God damn. It I'm going to turn and look at
- 41:50Itchy and this like the last time I looked at Itchy and it
- 41:53was like a like a gaze that was like God fearing gaze.
- 41:56It was like, oh, I'm looking for a man who has information about
- 42:00the man who killed my wife. But this time it's more of AI
- 42:03will fucking kill you if you say one more word.
- 42:06Look, and I'm going to look back at chicken and be like, I need
- 42:11the fucking information now. I think Chicken will stand up
- 42:15and be a lot more assertive and attempting to be intimidating
- 42:21and he's going to just do his best to not raise his voice, but
- 42:24it's going to increase. You want to, you want to just
- 42:29fight everything and, and do everything.
- 42:31You, you don't even understand who owns that soul boy.
- 42:36That's Lilith. Do you know how many demons I've
- 42:39killed? Do you know how many people I've
- 42:42watched be tortured and and just strung out for just uttering her
- 42:49name incorrectly? Do I look like a man who gives a
- 42:53fuck about what you've been through at this moment in time?
- 42:56It's not just me, I want her dead too.
- 42:59Son, I I haven't got much left in this world.
- 43:03Oh God, she was my world. But when someone, when you, when
- 43:11you've spent the last eight years looking for a man who you
- 43:14believed killed your fucking wife, to find out that your
- 43:17wife's soul is in one of these fucking coins, you know how much
- 43:21fucking strain that puts on a man.
- 43:24I can imagine it's taxing and. Now you're telling me that just
- 43:28because these other people, other people who tried to
- 43:33fucking attacked this Lilith woman didn't succeed, I won't.
- 43:39I'm when I made this deal with this crossroad demon, she said
- 43:44she's going to ensure my revenge.
- 43:46That means some like, yeah, maybe I can die, but she's
- 43:50promised my revenge. So I will kill Jebediah Rainey.
- 43:54I will have my revenge. So I'm by the way, right above
- 43:59table. I'm using your words against you
- 44:01here because you said in remember, listen to it today.
- 44:03You said I am going to ensure that you have your revenge.
- 44:08I meant what I said. If I have to die and come back
- 44:14to life to fuck up the man and the woman who has fucked my
- 44:18life, I will do that. You don't understand what I
- 44:22wouldn't give to fucking make sure that my wife and my son
- 44:27rest peacefully. I will do what the Guild wants
- 44:30me to do, but there's some shit I need to do.
- 44:34It's like a walk over and he'll, he'll, he'll set a hand on
- 44:39Arthur's shoulder and just be like, Arthur, if you want to do
- 44:41this, I can help you do it. I know someone who can get us
- 44:46the power to kill another demon. We have a way to kill other
- 44:51demons. We've just been told we've got
- 44:52to go to to find this preacher in Friends Wood.
- 44:58That's how we're going to kill the smaller ones.
- 45:01These elder demons are sub mounts.
- 45:04You notice how I don't have any ties?
- 45:07You notice how I still have the site?
- 45:10I assumed you had the smarts about you, yeah.
- 45:14I I know a demon that can get you the power you need.
- 45:18I don't know if I would he would make another deal with a demon
- 45:22now that he knows his wife is in a coin.
- 45:24Yeah, that's fair. I don't think you have to
- 45:28necessarily make a deal with another demon.
- 45:30I think what you decide to do with all the information you've
- 45:34been presented today, which I think is very overwhelming for
- 45:36someone who didn't fully comprehend.
- 45:40I mean, even like the very fabric that your world is
- 45:43created from before 30 minutes ago, this has been a lot.
- 45:49He'll, he'll, he'll just sort of look at Arthur and be like, take
- 45:52a breath, we can do this, but it's not going to be easy.
- 45:59Arthur's going to turn around. Shout, fuck and then punch Like
- 46:03the wall. The wood cabin.
- 46:07These these wood shopping hands have punched the wooden wall.
- 46:11Well, normally I would say Evander could fix that, but.
- 46:15Itchy, we'll deal with your horse.
- 46:17That's a whole another issue we're going to have to deal with
- 46:19and I'll turn a look at chicken and be like, is there anything
- 46:22else we need to know? No, if, if we happen to cross
- 46:26paths, I'll be sure to help you guys out as much as I can and
- 46:30I'm sure I'll be in. I think Arthur's got something
- 46:41to say, but I'm not sure. I'm going to turn around to
- 46:46chicken and I'm going to can I make a roll to see how well I
- 46:50can draw a picture of Pete. Yes, I would love nothing more
- 46:54in the world than if you made a roll.
- 46:57What would you want me to roll? Roll the D20I.
- 47:01I know it this is AD 6 game but this is going to be a sliding
- 47:05scale and your D sixes are loaded and this needs to be from
- 47:09the heart. 19. Fucking God damn it, that's.
- 47:19My secret, Captain, all my guys are loaded.
- 47:22It's a very nice picture of your son Arthur, your infant son.
- 47:28I'm going to turn. Just like him.
- 47:30I'm going to turn to more than for it.
- 47:32To be a stick thing. I'm going to turn RIP the page
- 47:38out of me me book. I'm going to turn to chicken and
- 47:40like, give it to him and say if you, if you find a coin with
- 47:44this boy's face on it, I want it.
- 47:47I can do that for you. Before you guys do leave, I do
- 47:52need to stress something to you, especially you.
- 47:57He knows your names. Does he know your names, Pete
- 48:00now? Did you tell him that he's
- 48:02you're? Telling me my name is now Pete.
- 48:04Pete, you do realize the power of Christ doesn't compel your
- 48:09hands, right? And with that, we are going to
- 48:15end the episode. Just fucking beautiful.
- 48:29Nobody, nobody, nobody about. I woke up from a night of dream
- 48:48and you were dare sleeping next to me.
- 48:52I closed my eyes, but I. Couldn't see you.
- 48:56Hey, hey, I'm popping in here to give the shout out to thanks for
- 48:59this episode. First of all, a huge thank you
- 49:03to Noodle for joining us. Absolutely go check him out on
- 49:07laughs and loot. Zach, Jesse, Michael, Andrew,
