the episode description. Do

0:15

you know who that woman

0:17

is? Uh, no.

0:20

Yeah, she helped me escape from,

0:22

uh, one

0:25

of those cities. And

0:28

you drove that car to my chip?

0:31

Uh, yeah, it was really far. You

0:36

don't think that they put GPS's

0:38

in their cop cars? Of

0:40

course they do. It's

0:43

not like I've had a conversation with a divine,

0:46

and I don't know how much

0:49

asepsis would gain from communication

0:52

in that way. That,

0:55

um, I wouldn't

0:57

do it on my own and have this sort

0:59

of volatile outcome without

1:02

considering the rest of you. And, uh,

1:04

that's why we're here. I

1:06

think it sounds evil. We should blow it

1:09

up. Could I have it? What? Oh.

1:13

You just want it? Yes.

1:16

I mean, I don't have any objections, but what

1:18

would you do with it? I

1:21

would like to have it. Okay,

1:27

so this could've

1:29

just been, uh, I don't know, maybe it

1:31

was like this, because Figu just didn't like

1:33

my dad, you know? That's just how things

1:35

could be. But in that world,

1:37

he, uh, betrayed us

1:40

all, and it, um, made

1:43

a little too much sense to me. Was

1:47

that? Well, sure. Sure, but it,

1:49

Cory, it wasn't real. But

1:51

like... No, but it

1:54

wasn't. Mine.

2:04

Was. Not

2:08

the adversary Some regions, the

2:10

outside. Never part

2:12

of the police are always

2:14

just. Flu

2:16

during around. Ah,

2:18

I don't think she was really even

2:21

with the. He

2:23

is it all. Different.

2:28

News and try. Posting

2:30

the hearse. Had

2:33

a go that during. I

2:36

have to admit I'm numb and on the other side. Or

2:40

is rarely eric. The

2:43

etiquette You may. Get

2:47

him again and again and. All

2:51

the power in the galaxy the

2:53

she must try to keep I

2:55

think of how many I'm doing

2:57

the thing it does from repeating

3:00

the one shape when a. It's

3:03

it's it's maddening and

3:06

it's higher end. It

3:08

costs. Ah

3:17

Ok so it looks like just

3:19

to be sure Brian you have

3:21

seen as a token. Corey you

3:23

have a seen as a token.

3:26

Yeah Ah, I'm. A

3:28

collector you have a whole camp Last one

3:30

joke India ah figure you have nothing less

3:32

are tapped out of your here Hi them

3:35

out. The all players are like you guys

3:37

let me know if you've been a thirty

3:39

am always you know? unless you know yeah

3:41

years at the party figures have for your

3:43

just partying I'm says be you have a

3:46

single soak in. Israel.

3:48

aside from the right, Yeah.

3:51

Yeah. I guess who's up?

3:53

What are we done? elsa

3:55

folks been thinking about that that natale

3:57

get ahead of ourselves here but we

4:00

are gonna have to end this with a plan and prepare. So

4:02

if people been thinking about missions and

4:04

stuff also. And

4:09

Brian has that move that like makes them

4:12

better at plan and prepare. Born

4:16

leader, you lead a sortie with advantage and

4:18

give the crew confidence when they plan and prepare.

4:21

Would it be worth like very briefly talking about what

4:23

we want our mission to be next or do we

4:26

know what that is? I

4:29

know we're like plan and prepare like. That

4:32

is what I was trying to get going. Originally

4:35

we were going to talk about it well during

4:37

the break but then it just you know it

4:39

just really came up on me. So I didn't

4:41

think about it at all. I

4:44

was thinking about if we should try and slow

4:46

down this motion stuff if we know that. There

4:50

is the motion thing that sounds

4:52

great because I have I often

4:54

have said several

4:57

times that the reason that hasn't triggered is because

4:59

he's been. That's why you came to

5:01

mind as well. Yeah I could trigger it right now

5:03

if you want. Is that what you guys want? You

5:05

want to fight with him? No. I think we're good.

5:08

You know I still have four tokens

5:11

and I've got to admit as much as I

5:13

would love to do the fake Gurs of Rock

5:15

thing. Motion does is

5:18

the one that has a big thing

5:20

about to trigger and would be bad. So

5:22

I think that that might that just might be it.

5:25

Give me ideas for new clocks to start. I really

5:28

appreciate that. Ice

5:30

cream party. Ice cream party clock. Yeah. It

5:32

comes out all melt. Oh wow.

5:35

Yeah. You got to hurry up before the clock

5:37

fills. The ice cream is all melted. I just

5:39

saw I just saw Austin highlight a blank space

5:41

in these clocks. Yeah

5:43

ice cream party. Yeah what's it next to? Take something that

5:46

isn't there. Nothing to the left of it. Oh

5:49

Temple Temple the threshold which

5:52

is where Faker's Rock lives. Oh

5:55

yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll figure out what the. Oh

5:57

no. Not a rock. to

6:00

some shit. Uh-huh. Man. Eight

6:03

steps? That's probably a six step. Six

6:05

steps. Oh, that's nothing. Yeah, but I'm gonna take it

6:07

a bunch. What the fuck? Yeah, this

6:09

is a master class in we've planted

6:11

a flag. Yeah. And Austin

6:14

said, I'm not gonna let you motherfuckers forget about

6:16

this. Yeah. Come

6:18

look at this clock. Come look at this clock. Exactly.

6:21

Yeah. Well, like really what happened here

6:23

is you were like, well, the Girth

6:25

of Rock thing doesn't really matter. Unlike

6:27

motion, which is happening tomorrow. It's time

6:29

sensitive. Well, guess what? Hey, I have

6:31

that move. Don't

6:34

worry about it. I

6:40

can remove three ticks

6:42

from authority schemes I'm

6:44

aware of. Yeah, that's true. I mean,

6:46

this is pretty open. I

6:49

want to say that there's just like a messaging

6:51

blitz from Girth of Rock these days

6:53

in like the

6:55

post-seller combustor or

6:57

post-Death of the

6:59

Glorious Princecept. I

7:03

think maybe that's exactly the thing is that like

7:06

with the Death of the Glorious Princecept, we have

7:08

Girth of Rock fake going

7:10

on a sort of media blitz about

7:12

how this is the war.

7:14

Basically, the war is over actually. It's

7:17

time to reunify under the

7:20

bilateral intercession. Basically it won't be

7:22

the bilateral intercession anymore. We

7:25

can go back to just being the divine principality. We

7:28

can be a completely lateral

7:30

intercession. We can be the

7:33

lateral intercession. Right.

7:36

Beautiful. Yeah, it's really beautiful. But

7:39

like that's what this is, right? Is that like,

7:41

oh, at least that's what tick one of six

7:43

is. What's that sixth one? Who could

7:45

say? And by the way, I'm

7:47

going to get up to some shit. Yeah.

7:51

PPS. Give me five ticks.

7:53

That's right. It's about to get silly. It's

7:56

about to get silly. So mission is motion. Mission

7:58

is try to disrupt the motion. motion stuff in

8:00

some way? Question mark? Last

8:03

time we talked about the idea of

8:05

like, if you hit the right amount

8:07

of the motion bases

8:09

at once, and you like disrupt

8:11

their internal workings, you

8:13

could basically slow the whole

8:16

thing down seriously.

8:19

But you haven't quite got that. You haven't, you know, you

8:21

have to do that. And you don't know the exact number.

8:23

So you could come up short or

8:25

overcommit and spend a lot of resources trying to knock

8:28

on a bunch of them and not need to. Yeah,

8:31

it seems like I might be picking

8:34

up the command deck. Do

8:38

you want to wait to do that until the end of it?

8:40

So that if there is more stuff that comes

8:42

out of conversations or do you want to do it now so that

8:44

we have it sorted? I

8:46

guess I could do it as a capper. So then, Diz

8:50

B or Cory, do you want to do

8:52

the next scene? So I was

8:54

thinking about the party that we talked about. And

8:58

would that work as like

9:01

a fade scene, do you think? Totally

9:03

could work as a fade scene. Yeah. Could

9:06

totally work as a number of these up to you what you want to

9:08

do. Fade was

9:10

what immediately jumped to my mind just

9:12

because I was like, oh yeah, spotlight.

9:14

That's what is useful to get. Totally.

9:17

Absolutely. Yeah. I'm

9:20

good with it. The leading player described somewhere in the carrier

9:22

or nearby that they pass the time, gaining

9:24

a point of spotlight and advancing a gravity clock.

9:27

If they have one with someone that joins

9:29

them, they frame a short scene around this,

9:31

either alone or with invited characters. And

9:33

you can spend tokens to do the same thing if you're

9:36

invited or if you want to join in. Everybody's

9:38

invited. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

9:40

absolutely. Yeah, the party. What is the party?

9:43

How do y'all celebrate? This

9:46

is what I was going to ask because I joked

9:49

about it being a barbecue. So that's been my mental

9:51

image, but we could just have that. Yeah,

9:53

a little barbecue. Barbecue's

9:55

great. Bonnet Valley

9:57

barbecue? Yeah, right. It seemed like a

9:59

good- for it yeah

10:02

you ain't never had like big

10:04

hot coal pit style bar

10:06

as well like you bury

10:08

it underground for two days

10:11

yeah yeah yeah big bonfires

10:13

and stuff going on to absolutely

10:16

truly like top-down music blaring out

10:18

of cars driving by different

10:21

music than what's playing from the

10:23

good new speaker and TV speakers

10:27

yes yes

10:30

and like you know this is this is an open

10:33

space like the I think

10:36

there could be anybody from anywhere inside of the

10:38

cause here you know what I mean you

10:40

want to talk to Jess at

10:43

City Jess at City can be here you

10:45

want to talk to El Evensong El Evensong

10:47

is here hello hmm

11:01

what is the what what is

11:04

the deal at this point with LL is still

11:06

just like yeah I'm really just part of I'll

11:08

co yeah I was just part of I'll go

11:10

I don't know what to do yeah yeah

11:13

yeah we have

11:16

to have Corey no

11:18

you saw someone in a mess that looks like

11:20

her man yeah he was like it was not

11:22

a colorway your mech got a paint job so

11:25

it's like yeah yeah when the cops can't find

11:27

you yeah it's like that look and her regular

11:29

mech is here now with the regular paint job

11:31

said someone must have stolen someone with someone with

11:33

resources like that couldn't possibly get a mech painted

11:35

twice no no no no that's no well that

11:37

would be a real waste of money I think

11:41

mm-hmm I guess Corey

11:44

you know that El Evensong stabbed you

11:46

though right I mean

11:48

yeah but like okay I'm

11:50

just establishing that I don't

11:56

think I've ever heard anything that sounds less

11:58

complicated You just

12:00

don't get it Yeah,

12:04

I was gonna ask like what everybody was

12:06

getting up to at the barbecue like broadly.

12:08

Yeah, please I'm like in character. I would

12:10

love a snapshot of Everybody at

12:13

the barbecue who wants to be there and what

12:15

you're doing. Can we can we

12:17

be there even if we aren't spending

12:19

tokens? Yeah, yeah, everybody's invited. Well, where

12:21

the cookout I'm playing yard

12:24

games. That's what I'm doing I gotta I

12:26

gotta play to food playing watching playing playing

12:28

bocce playing croquet Playing

12:31

bad minton bad minton with the

12:33

end. You'd be a sure the animals in there.

12:35

Yeah Play

12:38

playing there's playing variations

12:40

of bocce that

12:42

we all know love Eclectic

12:45

is the Larry Bird of bocce Oh

12:51

Playing up all the

12:53

horseshoes the the u-shaped

12:55

bocce. That's all Similar

13:00

they're similar. I know yeah, I

13:03

really horseshoes. I had way more horseshoes in my

13:05

life than bocce Yeah, I was a youth. Sure.

13:08

Yeah, me too. Actually It's

13:10

easy to stick a pole in the ground and I'm

13:12

throwing stuff at it. Yeah, it's kind of hard

13:14

to find a horseshoe. I I Lived

13:17

on a farm. Well, I like there you go. It's hard

13:20

to find real horseshoes, but I feel like you could buy

13:22

Plastic horseshoes at Torrey. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

13:24

we don't get them. You know, no, this

13:27

is regulation This is a sand. This is

13:29

a this is a sand pit. It's

13:31

a good at Long

13:34

games or is this just a thing he likes to do Great

13:40

question the horseshoe associate.

13:42

No, this is actually me. I have an answer for this Which

13:45

is the choir coalition who

13:48

we know from Twilight Mirage loves sports and

13:50

long games and Like daily

13:52

Olympics, you know what I mean? I did

13:55

that you did that that is a thing

13:57

keep assured in the Twilight Mirage finale So

14:00

they're definitely regulatory, they're a regulatory body and

14:02

they are here as part of the party.

14:04

They set up a bunch of different long games, they were

14:06

referee- They've got little measurements, they're going- Yeah. They're

14:09

going around checking and making sure- You could ask

14:11

how much of a referee you want. You could be

14:13

like, do I want a referee who's good or do

14:16

I want a referee who eyeballs it or do I

14:18

want no referee at all because they believe in the

14:20

ambiguity. They

14:22

understand that some sports are better

14:25

without video review, you know? Yeah.

14:28

And so they don't want to spoil the

14:30

joy of the ambiguity. Right.

14:32

Yeah. They're cool. Yeah,

14:35

yeah, yeah. But if you want down

14:37

to the millimeter measurements, you can have

14:39

it. Yeah. And it's like, you know,

14:41

get me down to the millimeter measurements at

14:43

the beginning and then leave me

14:45

alone. Make sure that everything is on the up

14:47

and up at the beginning. Just want the polls

14:49

to be the same height, you want the boxes

14:51

to be the same dimension. You know, we're cheating.

14:53

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:56

But then- But then- Yeah,

14:58

exactly. Yeah. We can measure

15:00

a horseshoe. All right. So that's

15:02

what eclectic's doing. Yeah. And

15:06

I have a ball of chili and a sloppy joe. Oh,

15:08

wow. I hate food. Are you

15:10

talking about- Wait. Are you dipping

15:12

the sloppy joe in the chili? No,

15:15

these are- Well, I guess I could be. Yeah.

15:18

Fuck it. Is sloppy joe a barbecue

15:20

food? I'm sorry. I

15:22

have sloppy joes in chili at my family

15:24

4th of July party, which is what

15:26

my activities are modeled after. Point

15:28

of order. Yeah. Yeah.

15:32

Yeah. When you say the word barbecue, what

15:34

does that mean to you? Okay. So

15:37

this is about to get bad. No,

15:39

no. I'm not

15:41

saying one use is better than the other.

15:43

I'm making sure we're all- Are you asking

15:45

if I'm talking about, are we doing barbecued

15:48

foods or am I using the word barbecue

15:50

to describe a cookout? Yes. Yeah.

15:54

I'll say it's a little bit of both.

15:56

This is more of a cookout, but there's

15:58

barbecued foods. Okay. So it's

16:01

trade you want to be also in for the for the

16:03

people with the difference in it for some folks is now

16:05

Maybe not for you. Um It

16:07

seems to be regional but there are

16:09

certain parts of the country where when

16:12

you say barbecue you're referring Specifically to

16:14

a type of food that is made cooked low

16:16

and slow with indirect heat for a long period

16:18

of time and other

16:21

places barbecue is just a pseudonym

16:23

for Suitinim synonym there

16:25

we go for like any sort

16:27

of like outdoor grilling cooking grilling.

16:29

Yeah Yeah, there's been grilling and

16:32

barbecuing. I think it's the

16:34

real heart of it. Yeah, and I like to grill I

16:37

you know Yeah, yeah, I'll leave all

16:39

this stuff is all great Yeah,

16:42

I think that if you're being if you're being

16:44

strict you'd call what I'm describing a cookout, right?

16:46

This is we have we have barbecue foods in

16:48

my family's thing. We have ribs and yeah stuff

16:52

And ribs y'all have ribs ribs

16:54

are got lobsters steamer's. Oh Well,

16:58

some of the best some of the best seafood in the world

17:00

right up right off the coast Are

17:02

we doing? We

17:09

can have a number of something. Let's do I don't

17:11

know enough seven fish. What do they have in? Oh,

17:14

it's like an Italian Oh, I see. Yeah My

17:17

my Italian family is not a fish Italian

17:19

family. Yeah same with me I had Ali

17:21

explained what seven fishes was to me once

17:23

because I had no I've never heard of

17:25

it before You

17:28

can do seven fishes my Italian family

17:30

is where like let me put zambuka

17:32

in my coffee That

17:36

is that is our that is my family's

17:38

Italian right tradition, right, huh? Like

17:41

a Family, but like a

17:43

roti sampare where it's like a burden like a

17:45

fish inside a fish inside a fish inside a

17:47

fish inside a fish No, they're all separate. No,

17:49

it's just a lot of food. That's like a

17:51

turducken. You're talking about a turducken No, I'm talking

17:54

about a roti man. It's not paré, which is

17:56

which is it like a medieval. It's

17:58

a friend of France to doctor. Yeah Yeah, yeah,

18:00

thank you. It's like if a turducken was

18:02

like 12 birds instead of

18:04

just three. A

18:07

turducken is pathetic compared to a... You get a

18:09

quail and then a pheasant and then a chicken

18:11

and then a duck and then a goose and

18:13

then a turkey and then an ostrich. No, it

18:15

ends at bustard. And

18:17

then what you call me? Brian

18:24

is not used to being out in public. Oh,

18:27

but he's going out? Right.

18:29

I think that they're they've been sitting

18:32

in a bonfire most of the night.

18:36

Just post it up. How big?

18:39

Dangerous or tame? Probably

18:43

tame. We

18:47

have the pirates in the... Okay,

18:50

so maybe... They're all pirates. They're probably

18:52

bordering on not being tame but

18:55

people are like, come on, come on. This is

18:57

a barbecue. Right. And

18:59

after the sunset, who knows? But now... Are

19:02

you no disguise? Just out in the open? Just

19:04

fine. I'm just chilling. Yeah.

19:07

You're getting bothered nonstop. Yeah.

19:10

Okay. This was the other thought

19:12

of the bonfire. Which

19:14

is like that if I stay in a place for one

19:17

time and if it's in like a semi-circle,

19:19

half-circle around this thing, it like

19:22

mediates the like ability to crowd

19:24

around something. Because people can't circle

19:26

you in the half... You

19:30

come out of a talk you've just given or a panel

19:33

you were just on and now everyone surrounds you in a

19:35

half-circle to talk to you. And they can't be in front

19:37

of me because there's like a fire. Because there's a fire

19:39

there. So like they can do the

19:41

thing of like... I think we

19:43

around you. They can come and just sit next to

19:46

me. Yeah. Oh, hey, what's up? Okay, but it could

19:48

also be like a one person at a time walking

19:50

up to you in a line. Or

19:54

just like people... You know how you hover

19:56

around in like a food court sometimes to wait for like

19:58

a table though? Yeah, I do. a lot of

20:00

that. Yeah. And

20:03

you get questions that are very

20:06

direct about what happened in a way

20:08

that's like, did

20:10

you really did you really

20:12

kill them? You know, what

20:15

like how'd you do it? You know,

20:17

like some of these people just detail

20:21

oriented. At

20:25

least one person tells you that they don't believe

20:27

it. Like in a way that's like they

20:30

think you're full of shit and are like, you

20:33

know what I mean? That they're still alive or that

20:36

it wasn't Brian? Both. Okay.

20:38

You know, all types of people here in the cause. I

20:40

get you know, the cause is much more unified than it

20:43

once was. But you know,

20:45

these groups, you got

20:47

a bunch of people who hate the principality,

20:49

but they're not necessarily that's that's a big

20:51

group of people. Yeah, a lot of people.

20:53

Any group. Yeah, there's a lot of people.

20:55

There's people that are like,

20:57

Oh, I was just at

21:00

that. I saw you at spin class last week.

21:03

At our baseline government spin

21:05

class. God was like,

21:12

cool. So you're being bothered by people. I

21:14

do think Jess at city is here, but doesn't

21:17

approach you like gives you the like, we're

21:19

at the we're at the no, no, no, no,

21:21

no, it's the other way. It's like we're at

21:23

the function and you were being surrounded by people.

21:26

And I am not going to come

21:28

surround you also. But I'm gonna give you a look.

21:30

It's like, are you all right? Do you

21:33

know what I mean? Like, are

21:35

you good? You know, like

21:38

nice, like, do you need to get

21:40

extracted? Oh, sure. Or

21:42

you good. Text Jess at some point. Uh

21:46

huh. What's good?

21:48

Um, is

21:51

B. Are

21:53

you at the party? Yeah.

21:55

Just checking. We still don't

21:58

know where where what's faces

22:00

right who also went on that mission and

22:02

then routine yeah

22:05

teen Renari not here last

22:07

scene aboard the ship the

22:10

the episode scene ship mission

22:14

to do good yeah sure it could also

22:16

be a mission to do a little

22:20

weird be partying okay oh I

22:22

mean people go missing constantly yeah

22:24

I know I know no no

22:26

what else has from your what

22:28

I mean is that it's weird

22:30

from a play perspective to

22:33

be partying when a named character

22:35

goes missing but

22:37

a whole ass mission to them I'm sure this yeah

22:39

I know I know I do know

22:42

it's just a moment of like

22:44

oh right we that's unresolved us to

22:46

like just happening I think fizz bees turning

22:48

a spit like a I think there's like a

22:50

really big I think it's

22:52

like a multi-sit I think

22:55

it's like yeah Ron Popeil

22:57

rotisserie but like with

22:59

little individual like you

23:02

know it's a bunch of spokes and it has

23:04

an interior on their own but that it also

23:06

turns as a whole unit okay

23:09

if you put a bunch of rotisserie if you

23:11

made a rotisserie rotisserie so

23:13

they can gear like a maga right it's like

23:16

a shit they're using it Swiss chalet yeah

23:20

get all those chickens huh sure

23:22

sure so many things that I'm only vaguely aware

23:25

of from other times who have been brought up

23:27

on friends of the table Ron Popeil Swiss chalet

23:29

you didn't grow up with Ron Popeil maybe was

23:31

just witnesses a different we've gone

23:33

over this yeah I just never saw Ron

23:36

Popeil mild yeah I

23:38

know the kind of guy though

23:40

yeah so fizz bees

23:42

turning the spit thing I

23:44

think because it's like heavy

23:46

yeah I think it I

23:49

think it probably like has a thing at each end

23:51

because normally you would need two people to turn it

23:53

or like an engine with a belt and

23:56

maybe the engine like it's

23:58

kind of it's fucked up right now Maybe someone's trying

24:00

to fix the motor thing that turns

24:03

it and everyone's like, oh my

24:05

god, the meat It's gonna go it's gonna get all

24:07

burned on one side and it'll be raw on the

24:09

other side and sisby's like now I got this And

24:13

I picture her sort of turning it with like

24:15

one of her feet just to like make sure it's

24:17

nice and even and steady because it's a little easier

24:19

to Do that.

24:22

She's got finer control on the legs.

24:24

Sure. Yeah, sure I just

24:26

I just link this room of appeal image. That's so

24:28

funny to me Not 400 not 375 not 350 not 325 Not

24:35

300 go through all of those It's

24:39

like how much would you pay and then I

24:42

would pay up to 400 Yeah,

24:44

uh-huh. Exactly would walk it down all

24:46

the way in 170. I

24:49

found a different image I was trying to find

24:51

the Swiss chalet rotisserie like what their rotisserie setup

24:53

24:55

searching for that was this image from

24:57

25:32

head eyes. Why I was crazy look

25:35

25:42

you if you haven't heard I'm sure this

25:44

25:46

trying to figure out what the exact vibe of

25:48

Swiss chalet is to an American who's ever heard

25:51

of it That's the cloud casting goes to that.

25:53

Yeah for a dollar. I'm a patreon. You should

25:55

25:57

a dollar Would

25:59

26:08

fifty six one

26:10

dollar figure are

26:13

you going to the party yeah I'm trying to

26:15

figure out what I'd be doing um

26:20

figure

26:22

is

26:24

oh

26:27

figure is playing some

26:29

sort of sport with all the kids my

26:33

thing was I was going to say football and

26:35

figures playing all-time quarterback with

26:38

all time quarterback like like your your

26:40

quarterback for both for both sides right

26:43

yeah okay yeah yeah yeah love this

26:45

image lost sports for figure if these

26:47

kids don't play badminton no

26:49

we can play badminton maybe

26:51

I went over there to try to get them to

26:53

play badminton they're like they don't want to play badminton

26:58

they want to play basketball that's what

27:00

we know about palestinian yeah when

27:02

I was a kid all I wanted

27:04

to play with badminton yeah it's actually

27:06

yeah because it's sick one of the

27:08

most fun so fun the shuttlecock hitting

27:10

the rack at the springy feeling it's

27:12

perfect so that's great yeah it's the

27:14

knob feel of sports yeah

27:17

the acceleration coming off that racket

27:19

of the shuttlecock is phenomenal love

27:22

the knob feel of a shuttlecock

27:25

there

27:30

I simply want to be a shuttlecock and play all

27:36

right that's a Dan Riker that's a night

27:38

to be clear that's sold baller Dan

27:42

Riker wanted to be a handball and play which

27:44

I think is even hornier racquetball

27:50

racquetball oh sorry got a

27:52

hand a racquetball regardless

27:54

regardless because that's less horny than

27:57

I think the handball yeah yeah

27:59

yeah Uh, well

28:01

that brings us back around. And that bad bit in Racketball in that order.

28:04

In that order. Corey,

28:06

we're back for eyelids? Also wait,

28:08

of those people who spend in tokens? Uh,

28:11

well so we do have to make sure,

28:14

we do have three, and maybe this is

28:16

fine. We have three tapped

28:18

factions still. Uh huh. And

28:21

I think we should probably at least untap

28:23

one of those. Um,

28:26

I would like to use my last token

28:28

though on XP. So,

28:31

I'm just putting it out there if someone wants to be a hero.

28:36

I also want to spend a token here

28:38

to be honest. Because I feel like I'm

28:41

behind on advancements and I kind of need

28:43

some right now to explain some stuff that's

28:45

happened. Yeah. As

28:48

a reminder, there's other ways to

28:51

level up that you're kind of close to, which

28:53

maybe you'll get here. If

28:55

you get that twill clock up by

28:58

one, for instance. Yeah. That'll

29:00

give you an advancement, right? Alright,

29:03

so spend those tokens and then Corey. Well

29:05

they'd love to know more about what you're

29:07

getting up to in this fade. So I

29:09

had, while we were figuring that out, I

29:12

was trying to think of what Corey would be up to. I

29:14

think I got a good idea of her

29:18

bringing like

29:20

a grilled corn on a skewer. Yeah.

29:22

You know, like she's got two of them and she

29:24

gives one to Elle and is like, they gave me

29:26

two. Don't get fooled. She's

29:29

lying. Um, but that's

29:31

five. They must have

29:33

wanted to make sure you grew

29:35

up nice and strong and handed

29:37

back to you. You're like

29:39

two years older than me. Makes

29:42

all the difference. You're

29:45

gonna give it to like a kid who's passing by. Yeah,

29:47

yeah, yeah. Good

29:50

to see you made it out of

29:52

that danky catacomo. Yeah,

29:54

you're welcome for saving you and everybody

29:56

else there. It was impressive. A

29:58

little smile. wasn't how I expected things

30:01

to go. Yeah, well that's what

30:03

happens when you keep underestimating me. She is

30:05

also smiling now. Mm-hmm. Well,

30:07

I mean, did you do that or was that just devotion?

30:10

Oh, so like, um, did you win those battles or

30:12

was it just the mech? That's a different thing. A

30:14

mech is a robot that I pilot.

30:17

Devotion is a different person. Mm.

30:20

It like genuinely just shrugs at that at

30:22

this point. So

30:25

what'd you dream about? Oh, no, no, no. I

30:27

was gonna ask you first. I have

30:29

a senior's advantage. It's two years. I'm costing a

30:31

man. You really gotta stop

30:33

relying on that. You

30:39

know, a lot of combat,

30:41

a lot of... winning

30:45

the war is kind

30:48

of what it felt like. She

30:50

is purposely not slipping out of character.

30:52

She is purposely not mentioning the fighting

30:54

alongside her yet. Right, right,

30:56

right. What was it like winning the

30:58

war? It felt pretty good. What

31:01

came after? Woke up too soon.

31:05

Actually, um, I

31:07

got a little two-for-one out there. Um...

31:11

You wanna know the other dream? The other dream might interest

31:13

you. How'd you get a second dream? Yeah,

31:16

I killed you in it. Ugh.

31:21

Let's fucking go. Take

31:25

a big bite out of her snack. A

31:27

coin. A coin, yeah. I

31:30

mean, you know. That's

31:33

the other guess. Big crunch

31:36

of corn. That's

31:39

the nice thing about dreams. They can

31:41

give us things that will never happen in real life. The

31:44

little playful shit eating grin she had kind

31:46

of turns into a frown. Yeah.

31:54

Okay, your turn. Come on. Oh

31:56

my god. That

32:01

is her trying to be cool and

32:03

failing. Oh, it is. 100%. It's

32:06

incredibly good. For

32:10

everyone listening, it's a gift of a cat

32:12

sort of struggling with some corn. It's extremely

32:14

good. That's corry to me. Yeah. twitter.com.

32:17

It's like, I'm a table. Oh,

32:21

wonderful. Uh-huh. Vague

32:23

tweeting. It is. It is. Got

32:26

some corn emojis in the comments, everybody. Critical

32:29

support for corry. For corny.

32:33

Corny? No.

32:35

Let's move past that one. Cut

32:37

that out, actually. No. Fuck. Mm-mm.

32:41

Well, I was thinking, I don't remember

32:43

why now. While I was doing

32:45

prep, I fully, I saw the

32:47

word corry and read it as corny, but

32:49

then thought about corry learning

32:51

about the band Corn for the first

32:54

time. Oh my God.

32:56

Like, discovering them on YouTube. Which

32:58

is extremely funny. Straight up, I think she

33:00

loved them. Me too. I

33:03

can picture her like,

33:06

I don't know if people were of a certain

33:08

age when they saw the video for Freak

33:10

on a Leaf. Oh, yeah. But I can picture

33:12

her like wide-eyed in front of the TV, like,

33:14

whoa, you can do this with a music video?

33:16

Mm-hmm. This

33:19

is a loud... This is a loud... This

33:23

is an album that Cory has found

33:26

in the media room. Yeah. I

33:30

suppose the cover for Corns followed by... Is it Brines? Yeah.

33:34

Oh, fuck yeah. It might be nice, but... It

33:36

might be, yeah. I

33:40

dreamt, like, kind of looks at you

33:42

seriously. I

33:44

dreamt that I was who I used to

33:46

be and that it was all real.

33:50

All of the devotion stuff. Oh.

33:54

Um... I see you have a

33:56

new pair of black wings. Are you coming

33:58

around to my side of things? Okay,

34:00

hold on that let's

34:03

chill out with that talk I'm

34:07

not betraying anybody here and by the

34:09

way haven't forgotten about the whole

34:11

spy thing I just don't really feel

34:13

like ruining everybody's fun today. No, it's

34:15

a party Gesturing with the corn on

34:17

the lake little fewer talking,

34:20

huh, huh, I Just

34:23

I don't know maybe I'm

34:27

figuring out that You

34:29

shouldn't be training teenagers to

34:31

use giant weapons of war for most

34:33

of their life But

34:36

it's fine. I'm like here now and it's like

34:38

whatever I'll do I'll deal with it Have

34:42

you ever heard of corn? Not

34:47

no, I don't I don't have a lot

34:49

of it's like classical stuff. It's pretty okay.

34:51

Okay, you should send me some I'm

34:55

serious. I Thought

34:57

I would kill you the last time that we saw

34:59

each other and Well,

35:01

I didn't and so I'm gonna make the

35:03

offer again. Come work with

35:06

me I Was impressed?

35:10

Unable to keep from smiling when she hears that Listen

35:14

I don't even know Who

35:18

you're working for which as much

35:20

as the you know Fighting

35:23

alongside is appealing. I don't

35:26

I I Don't want

35:28

to make things worse here and I don't know what you're

35:30

trying to do, but it doesn't feel like it's um You

35:33

know Are working

35:35

for the thing that's coming next? Oh Really?

35:43

You think it's it's not it's not this This

35:45

is great, but it's a galaxy

35:49

The galaxy doesn't get won by people

35:51

who hold barbecues Not

35:54

that there will be barbecues afterwards What

35:57

do you oh yeah? You

35:59

know It's talking in like circles

36:02

and riddles and just never

36:05

get to the what's coming after owl.

36:08

Who's on the way? People.

36:12

No more stells. No

36:14

more churches. People.

36:18

Connecting one on one on their own terms. An

36:23

exchange of

36:26

ideas and feelings

36:29

and touches. Okay, okay.

36:31

And she gently touches your arm and

36:34

moves past you. Drops

36:37

her fucking corn. Aww.

36:40

Hold it there. Yeah. Damn.

36:44

Never dropped corn. Is that a feeling when you

36:46

dropped your corn? Never dropped corn and I had

36:49

no idea. She

36:52

does like a little spin back to you

36:54

with a little like half nod and said,

36:56

yeah, it's up to

36:59

you whether you want to come into the

37:01

new world with me or

37:04

just chase behind like normal. I'm

37:07

gonna spend my my

37:09

rival token. Yeah. To

37:12

ask you a this is this

37:14

is me asking you a challenging question that must

37:16

be answered. And it doesn't have to be answered

37:19

in this moment necessarily, right? But I wanted to

37:21

like drill into Corey's head a little bit. As

37:25

I continue to try to as Elle Elle's

37:28

need is to ensure her true master went out

37:30

in Palisade and her want is

37:32

to shake Corey's face in devotion. So

37:36

you can feel free to answer in this moment. But

37:39

the question specifically being, are

37:42

you? Will she come fight with her?

37:44

Yeah, I think that that's the gist of it.

37:48

Really is is do you want to fight by my side

37:50

for real? Because I can make that

37:52

happen. Basically. She doesn't

37:54

know about your dream either to be clear. Yeah.

37:57

But I think But

38:00

she knows about your lowercase D dream. Yeah.

38:05

Um, I think like to

38:07

ant like in care, like out

38:10

of character and then grand like Corey yeah

38:12

does want that. But I think in character,

38:14

the way she expresses that is just like,

38:18

I'm not going to be, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life

38:20

staring at your back. Uh, and then

38:22

storming off. Oh,

38:24

for Corey. Oh,

38:29

she's great. This is perfect. Oh,

38:31

exactly what I wanted. Oh no, I get it.

38:33

Yes. Yeah. Flags

38:35

recognized trust. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome.

38:38

Thank you so much. I mean, it's, yeah,

38:40

it's poor Corey. Happy Sylvie. Yeah, that's right.

38:43

That's just been the season. That's how it

38:45

goes. A hundred percent. Like I said, on

38:47

that one gathering information, the plush toy filled

38:49

with milk that I slap against the wall.

38:51

That's Corey. Gathering information. Uh,

38:53

patreon.com. What? What?

38:56

Or friendsatable.com. Oh, oh.

38:58

Yeah. I can link the post

39:00

in here. Oh yeah, you don't know this person on the,

39:02

we can, we do not, we cannot have this. No, I

39:05

show. Um,

39:09

so, okay. Back to like mechanical stuff.

39:12

Um, can I advance my gravity

39:15

clock? I just did it with, with L. Yeah.

39:18

I just the second was like, let me go ahead

39:20

and just do that. That seems okay. Cool.

39:23

Um, so wait, does that count as my

39:25

effect for the theme then? No, your, your

39:27

effect is, is still getting a spotlight. And

39:30

advancing. It is. And advancing

39:32

a gravity clock. Correct. Yes. You

39:34

also get that. Yeah. Um,

39:36

oh, uh, and, and spend

39:39

my token on top. I

39:41

also think it goes up more because of discussing your

39:43

faith or somewhere learning something about how they personally relate

39:45

to faith and spirituality, which is

39:48

continuing to see that, that, that

39:50

L is absolutely a cynical nightmare

39:52

person. Um, so there you

39:54

go. Uh,

39:57

and then yeah. That's not a level up. the

40:00

gravity clock. That's for the gravity clock, not the

40:02

spotlight. You're still one spotlight off. Where

40:05

were you? You came in with four? You came

40:07

in with five. I came in with four and

40:09

then I got up to five. Yep. Yeah. And

40:11

I'm just looking at our, yeah. I might

40:15

decide to spend my token if it turns out I want

40:17

to be selfish here, but for now let's move on and

40:19

I'll use a ton to have something. Anyone

40:23

else spending a token during the scene? This

40:26

will be you. We're going

40:28

to, okay. Are y'all advancing?

40:30

Do you want to do scenes? Does

40:32

anybody do advanced gravity also or do

40:34

you just want to get the spotlight?

40:38

Do we get both or just one? It

40:40

is as above as written. So you get

40:42

both. Okay. The way, again,

40:45

the way that the move fade is written

40:47

is you passing,

40:49

gaining point of spotlight and advancing a gravity

40:51

clock if you spend it with someone, you

40:53

know, if someone joins you. I

40:58

would like to do some

41:00

of the quarry if that's still possible, but

41:03

that might be advancing quarry clocks too much.

41:05

I don't know if there's a point

41:07

in that. No, that's fine. Okay. No rule

41:09

against that. And now I only have one

41:11

clock. So if figure has

41:15

some time out, I would do a scene

41:17

with figure to get that clock up. Especially

41:19

coming off of that previous scene, right? It'd

41:21

be kind of fun to get y'all on

41:24

the same page again, right? Yeah.

41:28

Since we just had a quarry scene, let's do that one and then we'll

41:30

wrap back around with this. So where do

41:32

you figure an eclectic, chop it up?

41:35

Well, we were both playing games,

41:38

so we're probably in the same area. So

41:42

maybe we're going back like

41:45

after games to hydrate.

41:47

Do I hydrate? Do I eat? I was asking

41:50

you. You said you were eating earlier and now

41:52

we need to address do I play a lot

41:54

of characters that don't need to eat, but do

41:56

anyway. kind

42:00

of a key thing going all the way back to

42:02

Pharaoh because Pharaoh didn't need to. I

42:06

don't think, I don't know that delegates

42:08

are synthetic people, they're robots, right? They're

42:11

there. So

42:14

I don't know that they need to eat. They

42:17

might, they do need to charge, they do need to.

42:19

Leap needed to eat. Well that was the thing about

42:21

leap. That was the thing about leap. Leap explicitly was

42:23

Equiaxed, right? Yeah. Yeah,

42:26

Leap was part of a prototype set

42:29

of robots that had, that used

42:31

a digestive system to generate electricity.

42:33

Yeah, and had other humanoid

42:39

organic components. The

42:42

delegates are not this, so I don't think

42:44

they need this, you know? Okay.

42:49

Whether or not that is a thing

42:51

that your particular delegate does is up to

42:53

you. I'm not

42:55

going to say you can't have that sloppy, Joe,

42:58

but I don't think that as a rule, delegates

43:00

need to, you know? Okay. Okay.

43:04

But, yeah. You definitely, you

43:06

might need to hydrate with something else, right? I

43:08

talked about this before, being like, the Bonta Valley

43:11

is also where you might- There's some coolant. There's

43:13

some, for sure, there's coolant. It might be where

43:15

you produce some oil from vegetables of some sort,

43:17

you know, or from grains of some sort to-

43:20

I produce the oil? No, the Bonta Valley does.

43:23

Okay. Even if you're a delegate, you might

43:25

need some of that, you know? Sure.

43:28

Yeah. You've

43:30

evened out the cookout? Oh,

43:33

great. Great thing. Didn't we talk

43:35

about how eclectic the maker is? No,

43:37

no, no. I think

43:39

that we landed on that eclectic

43:42

smokes actual cigarettes.

43:44

Okay. Yeah. At

43:47

least since becoming a detective. Sure.

43:52

That's part of the detective costume. Mm-hmm.

43:56

Um, so I don't know. I

43:58

was gonna say that we go, we're going back to- Like

44:00

get something to drink from having been playing

44:02

games But if I don't specifically have to

44:04

do that then I guess it doesn't have

44:06

to be that I'm just be

44:08

walking with figures figured. I mean I thought I saw a

44:10

lot of back figure you eat food and drink drinks

44:14

Yeah, oh, yeah, right. Okay. Yeah You

44:17

bunch of freaks on this spaceship Wow,

44:19

but you're free Uh-huh.

44:22

I'm normal. No kind of vibe Can

44:26

anybody can raise your hand if

44:29

you're normal my hands

44:31

are at my side The

44:36

thing I am I'm just ear-descent

44:38

in a fish person and Yeah,

44:43

this is these horns now

44:45

the living and buying of

44:47

integrity, okay Well, uh-huh listen

44:49

other than that You

44:52

picked out a Name yet

44:54

or anything you just go by this reason so

44:56

this be okay. What's the naming structure for a

44:58

lack? Oh, I we can talk about that later

45:00

We don't I don't know that this be is

45:02

gonna decide to use the principalities name I do

45:05

think it'd be interesting to think about for this

45:07

be right is that like yeah The

45:09

in the past divine so had you have

45:11

used names differently Defines have used and their

45:14

users have used have had different naming styles

45:16

than the one that there is now And so that could

45:19

be an interesting thing Yes,

45:29

see a classic might be

45:32

the most normal person here Yeah,

45:43

I do think Brian's number two Much

45:48

a freak commander you're right you're

45:50

very normal Well

45:57

fine roasting

46:00

brine yeah I

46:03

mean almost every other crew has

46:06

at least one normal person Is

46:09

that in character yeah, okay I

46:15

How many other crews have you been a part of Well

46:20

two three, but you meet them we

46:22

just met a bunch I just met a bunch of crews today You

46:30

know someone who's like reserved and good with

46:32

numbers and is like oh don't we shouldn't

46:34

do that be careful so like a math

46:37

teacher I'm

46:39

literally an engineer and I tell people to be careful all

46:42

the time But

46:48

then but then this be probably is the answer

46:51

this view is the most normal actually

46:55

and this is like Horseshoe

46:57

theory you've gone busy goes so

46:59

far that it wraps

47:01

back around to being a weirdo

47:07

Yes, yes, I mean a lot of groups this

47:09

be be the weirdest one and this

47:11

is not the weirdest one of you

47:13

lot You why

47:16

I'm out here? Oh,

47:18

do you need a beer to need a no you sit you

47:20

48:06

Do you have any do you have any do

48:08

48:14

48:19

a brand oh So

48:23

what's what's up with your new friend? I I

48:27

mean, well, I was like Seconds

48:31

away from being caught at Baseline

48:35

at baseline. Where's my son see baseline

48:37

see? Yeah, there's baselines a through Z.

48:40

So I

48:44

Got in a fight on a rooftop. They were tracking

48:46

me and I had to get out of the city

48:48

immediately Opened up a

48:51

car door and I was like We

48:53

got to go and The

48:56

badge that I had from my

48:58

last job before Being

49:01

on the ship the

49:03

pirate ship not the spaceship that

49:07

was enough to keep you from getting shot and

49:09

then the The

49:14

Brecka book was enough to To

49:17

get her to drive me to The

49:20

ship the spaceship hmm Is

49:25

it is she like safe are we

49:27

are we good with but yeah, I

49:29

mean she's nobody I mean, she's nice,

49:32

but she's like just like her she's

49:34

just like She's just

49:36

like anybody That lives

49:38

in the city You said

49:40

something the other day that I wanted

49:44

To bring up with you. Yeah And

49:48

I don't remember exactly what you said, but it was

49:50

basically something that like you didn't

49:53

really care like what happened to the

49:55

blue channel Well, yeah,

49:58

I need you to understand that the

50:01

blue channel is my home yeah

50:03

I get it I mean everywhere

50:06

is somebody's home right

50:09

I I

50:11

need to know that you actually

50:14

care about what happens to my home

50:16

and the people that live in it

50:19

I care but it's the

50:24

the whole reason for this is to

50:27

is to make that true

50:30

for this whole place not

50:32

just your ship your ship I mean

50:36

it would be nice if everybody

50:38

at this party was

50:40

as you know was

50:42

as willing to get

50:45

their ship blown up if

50:47

they needed to to win

50:50

this thing and lots of ships have been blown up you

50:53

know yeah listen I'm not there's

50:57

a difference between the blue channel being

50:59

blown up in service of the cause

51:02

and the blue channel being blown up

51:05

because somebody doesn't seem to care

51:09

well I got the brief I got the briefcase no I

51:11

the whole reason that it was in the whole reason

51:13

for the issue was that I

51:15

had gone out and done stuff

51:18

to help no

51:21

I get that and I'm not saying that you

51:23

don't care but

51:26

I'm saying that

51:30

that is that's that's what I was worried

51:32

about yesterday or whatever that was

51:35

yeah no I I care I get

51:37

it I understand why people

51:41

were hey the blue channel is

51:43

my number two of three

51:45

rules I

51:47

open up I have it a little I

51:49

have a notebook and in the

51:51

first page of the notebook is my hook

51:54

written down number

51:56

one trust myself number two trust the blue

51:59

channel crew number three trust no one it's

52:01

right there the

52:05

leap says sketch of leap it's

52:07

erased you

52:10

just barely see that it says something

52:13

at the very beginning it's a six-figure

52:15

sketch of leap and eclectic holding hands

52:17

and there's a little child drawing at

52:19

the sun overhead it

52:22

says the whole thing is in

52:24

a speech bubble with a little drawing of

52:26

leap with his figure out great

52:31

incredible how

52:37

did you get involved with all this anyway do

52:47

we have a can't a canonical city

52:49

that I'm from you were in

52:51

city city for a little bit but I

52:53

don't write I don't know we did not

52:55

decide to these new right yeah they said

52:57

he was only built a few years ago

53:00

so yeah you were a from other people

53:02

living in what my guess is one of

53:04

the one of the fabrielle

53:09

duchy cities carlena fun with or

53:12

carmeth in or ever sin or

53:14

car hey one of your crest

53:16

in one of these western cities

53:18

probably those tend to

53:20

be the ones so I'm

53:23

well I lived in the

53:25

west and then I moved

53:27

to city city when it

53:29

opened and I

53:32

was there doing almost

53:34

the exact same job that much

53:36

is doing and there

53:41

is a big merch

53:43

right that's her name yeah merchy merch

53:45

for sure I know what you're thinking

53:47

that's two nicknames okay what

53:50

about it we you

53:57

know a bunch of us got on a ship to

54:01

partisan. And

54:04

at some point, I met

54:07

a couple people that went to

54:09

be pirates. And I just was like, I

54:12

could do that. What was it like being

54:14

a pirate? Awesome. It was so cool.

54:19

Is it? So is it like how it is

54:21

on the books? It is

54:23

exactly like how it is on the books. We

54:27

were hoisting sails. We were

54:29

swabbing decks. We

54:32

were firing warning shots.

54:36

We were shooting

54:39

our, we made a bunch of man cannons.

54:41

We shot ourselves out of the cannons onto

54:43

other people's boats. And then we were like,

54:45

this is our boat. I no longer believe

54:47

that boat was actually working with leap. I

54:52

believe it more. Leap

54:55

seems like a man cannon guys.

54:57

Just what I'm saying. Sure. Love

55:00

the master chief. What

55:02

do you I mean, is that is

55:05

that like the long term plan to

55:07

be a pirate? Yeah, like when all this is over. I don't

55:10

know. I don't I mean, when all

55:13

this is over, that's the

55:15

pirate thing is done. Leap

55:19

likes being a pirate, but it's this is like he's

55:22

a pirate for this. Yeah. He's

55:26

a he's a privateer. Yeah,

55:29

he's a privateer. He gives a speech about

55:31

that all the time. Oh, okay. But

55:33

he still calls himself a pirate also all the time. Sure. Yeah.

55:35

I mean, that's it rolls off

55:38

the tongue better. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,

55:43

sorry about saying that I wanted the ship to blow

55:45

up or whatever I said. I don't think I said

55:47

that, but it was like, no, you didn't say that,

55:49

but I appreciate it. I

55:52

guess I as is Marchie here.

55:55

I should apologize

55:57

for almost stealing her car. I

56:00

think she's here. I think she's here. I think she's like

56:03

she's chatting with She's

56:05

chatting with somebody got big

56:07

plate of shrimp tons of

56:09

shrimp shrimps Yeah,

56:11

I think that that makes sense. I think she's on

56:13

that shrimp train. Yep. Yeah She's

56:16

just she's doing the thing that you do at

56:18

a party where there's like one Appetizer

56:21

that or whatever you're like I

56:25

Just might be my whole meal. I might just

56:27

I might just need to hover around here So

56:30

it's just chatting with anyone who comes

56:32

over for more shrimp. Yeah,

56:35

you tried the shrimp. Yeah, exactly No,

56:38

I tried the shrimp. No. Oh, no, Murci

56:40

is a little more clever than

56:42

this Murci's like Oh, have you tried

56:44

the brie and like

56:46

oh, you know like cheese. Well, what you

56:48

should try is You

56:51

know and just stay away from the plate full of

56:53

the shrimp show. Yeah, you try the cheese cheese I

56:56

would only touch the burrata here. I would

56:58

not touch the shrimp. I

57:00

don't trust them. Looks good That

57:04

it's a brata house to brana It's

57:10

good So March is

57:12

joining Rose River. That's what I'm hearing. Wow,

57:15

you're trying to really pawn

57:17

her off, huh? Well,

57:21

there's only a few days left on that on that badge

57:23

that let's stay on the ship so I Think

57:26

she's gonna join Carmine

57:28

bite the pirates. Oh,

57:31

hell. Yeah Look

57:36

with that immediate situation You

57:44

know, I don't see your pirate what's

57:47

that like It's

57:50

like in the bushes everything that

57:53

figure just said a

58:00

little spin on that. Leap

58:02

ship is a special ship. Not everybody's a

58:05

guy. These are custom man cannons. Are

58:08

you a special ship? So they

58:10

fire you from cannon? That's a

58:13

lie here. I hear they

58:15

fire you from cannons on the enemy ship. That was

58:17

so scary. You must

58:19

be so brave. So brave. Yes.

58:22

Are you strong? I'm a cop. You look

58:24

strong. You look strong. Can you make

58:27

a muscle? This

58:31

sounds like a scene. That feels like a scene.

58:33

Can you show me your bandstand? I

58:36

also leveled up. You did level up. That's

58:38

good. I leveled up from

58:41

advancement. Taking a move. That's your

58:43

spotlight. That's my spotlight. You

58:47

roll a lot. And you got a lot of failures is

58:49

what happened. Which is like

58:51

new character mid-season. Classic thing that happens. Figure

58:54

out what your move is. Let

58:57

me know. Alright. Fizzbee.

59:02

You wanted to wrap back around with Cory. Yeah. What's

59:06

Cory been eating? Just corn? No.

59:12

I think she's got like a burger now at this point. Is it made

59:14

out of corn? I think she

59:16

got this after the corn burger. The

59:20

L incident. She

59:22

sure was. She was having

59:24

a corn burger. Yeah.

59:28

Anyways. Got

59:30

him. Got him. Yeah.

59:36

Burger. My

59:38

thought had been to have Fizzbee come over with like

59:40

some kind of big meat thing. Oh that's

59:42

cute. Okay

59:44

then she doesn't have anything in Fizzbee. You can

59:46

do that. A big

59:48

flinstone's rack of ribs. And it's just stuck

59:50

on Fizzbee's horn. And you get to just

59:52

pop a piece off. No. The

59:56

Anthony Bourdain Digimon, please. Oh

59:59

I don't even know. You don't know what that means. What the

1:00:01

fuck is that? Oh, we have to all know this tweet. Oh

1:00:04

my god. It's really good. Oh yeah. Yeah,

1:00:08

this is good. Wow, this

1:00:11

meat is so tender and juicy. Falls right off the massive bone

1:00:13

in the middle. Flamed hermon. This is what we eat. Digimon

1:00:16

eat everyday. Bourdain. God,

1:00:18

you're so lucky. Oh, I thought this

1:00:20

was a tweet from Anthony Bourdain. Oh no, my little pony tweet.

1:00:24

Okay, okay. If

1:00:26

only. I

1:00:29

think what Sisbee brings, Cory.

1:00:32

I don't know why I have this in my head. And

1:00:34

I feel like someone else probably assembled these

1:00:36

like, I don't want to say for the kids.

1:00:39

But, um, I

1:00:42

think maybe there's like a leftover one and Sisbee was

1:00:44

like, oh, Cory might like this. I think

1:00:46

it's like a slow

1:00:49

roasted, like a slice

1:00:51

of a slow roasted glazed ham, but they've

1:00:53

put little caddy, like little ham caddiers on

1:00:55

it. Oh, that's

1:00:57

so cute. And there's maybe

1:00:59

like, like a side of vegetables or something on there.

1:01:04

This is cute. That's good. And

1:01:06

I think maybe, maybe this is a response

1:01:08

to like Cory having dropped the corn a

1:01:10

while ago. And that

1:01:12

sort of is a thing that like that sticks in Sisbee's

1:01:14

head of like, oh, Cory was eating something, but then

1:01:17

was not able to finish eating the thing. Um,

1:01:20

so look out for some food that Cory

1:01:22

might like. I

1:01:25

think is the is the way that

1:01:27

she would sort of come

1:01:30

to that. So

1:01:33

she shows up with this with

1:01:35

this platter of food

1:01:37

and presents it to Cory and

1:01:42

says, they

1:01:44

plated more than was necessary. And I thought you

1:01:46

might want to eat it. Oh,

1:01:50

and she like sees that it's got little caddiers. She's

1:01:53

like, oh, this is so cute. Thank you, Fizzbee.

1:01:57

It is cute. Um, you have a nice

1:01:59

day. a good time. I've been

1:02:02

helping. I've been helping

1:02:05

and I enjoy helping. Okay,

1:02:08

that was gonna be my my follow-up

1:02:10

was if you enjoyed that. Have

1:02:13

you been enjoying

1:02:15

festivities? Yeah,

1:02:18

I think so. Yes, yeah,

1:02:24

yeah, I, yes, I think, yeah, I'm gonna

1:02:26

go with yes on this one. I

1:02:29

saw you and I'm having a

1:02:31

moment of like would fizzbee

1:02:33

say operant even song? I don't

1:02:35

think so. No, she doesn't deserve

1:02:37

that. No, um,

1:02:42

she might say you and your peer. Um, your

1:02:46

little friend. Uh,

1:02:49

because it wouldn't be superior. I don't think

1:02:51

fizzy would see her as Cory superior. Um,

1:02:55

thank you. I

1:02:57

saw you and your peer talking

1:03:00

and the body

1:03:05

language at

1:03:07

a distance concerned me somewhat. I

1:03:10

did at one point fear that even

1:03:14

song might think to

1:03:19

stab you with a knife. Whoa,

1:03:22

when they were close when

1:03:24

they moved. Wait, is sorry, is else she

1:03:26

or they? She day. Okay.

1:03:30

When they moved close, I touched your

1:03:32

arm. I was concerned they might

1:03:34

stab you, but they did not. She's

1:03:42

taking a second. Huh?

1:03:44

Did they? No,

1:03:46

no, no, no stabbing. Not

1:03:49

like that. No. Um, you,

1:03:52

uh, how

1:03:55

much of that did you see? And I'm

1:04:02

I have been looking around. There's

1:04:04

not much to do when you're

1:04:06

spinning this bit. I was looking

1:04:08

around at many things. This

1:04:10

is one of the things I looked at. Cool.

1:04:14

Cool, cool, cool. So it was probably just you

1:04:16

who noticed that. Okay.

1:04:21

Yeah. You're like very like, what like, do

1:04:25

you ever have someone note, like point out that

1:04:27

they noticed something about the way you're behaving and

1:04:29

then you're like, oh fuck, has everyone been looking

1:04:31

at me while I've been here? Yeah.

1:04:38

Um, no, we're, we're good work.

1:04:42

We're kind of better than we have been, honestly.

1:04:45

So no

1:04:47

stabbing. Um, but

1:04:50

they are kind of rude, but that's her thing. Still

1:04:52

a spy. Yes. I

1:04:56

mean, yeah, yes, probably.

1:05:01

Um, just

1:05:04

keep it, you know, just keeping an eye on suspicious

1:05:07

individuals, you know,

1:05:10

that's, that's all

1:05:13

I was. It's not like bad that I

1:05:15

was talking to a spy, right? I'm

1:05:21

an element of this confuses me.

1:05:25

Yeah. Operate

1:05:29

sunset. I

1:05:33

cannot tell if

1:05:36

you believe El Evensong

1:05:40

to be good

1:05:42

or bad. In

1:05:45

that good or bad is not a good. Mm,

1:05:50

advantageous or, or,

1:05:53

you know, it's like risky. Is

1:05:56

that, are those the words? Something

1:05:59

to be effective. I can't think of a good use

1:06:01

of a good alternative to risky. I don't think she'd

1:06:03

say risky. But

1:06:06

that's the emphasis. Is it

1:06:08

about dangerous? Yeah, dangerous. Maybe,

1:06:11

yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause

1:06:13

it's not as kind of dry as being a

1:06:15

spy or being, you know,

1:06:18

in merch's case, like it's not as cut

1:06:20

and dry as like being a cop who's

1:06:23

here. Yeah. Merch.

1:06:26

Notably, like, just

1:06:29

showed up. Hasn't really done anything to wrong

1:06:31

us yet. Kory is

1:06:33

super suspicious. El, literally

1:06:36

a spy confirmed to be a

1:06:38

scipi. Stabbed you. Hold on,

1:06:40

they're still good in here. I

1:06:43

can fix her. Yeah. Okay,

1:06:48

so advantageous or dangerous with

1:06:50

a... Yeah. Just be saying like, she

1:06:52

can't tell what you think. Specifically.

1:06:54

I mean, she's...

1:06:58

I mean, she's definitely dangerous on

1:07:01

some level. But it's

1:07:03

like, I don't know. You've...

1:07:08

You've known like, the

1:07:11

captain and like people for a long time. And

1:07:13

so like, you know that like even when

1:07:16

they change it, they'll kind of see like the

1:07:19

older version of them now and then

1:07:21

in your... I

1:07:23

don't know. I kind of just... It's

1:07:26

hard for me to... Detach

1:07:29

her, you know, weird

1:07:32

attitude lately from when we

1:07:35

were younger and she would like look out for me

1:07:37

and stuff. So

1:07:42

I guess my answer is both. Both.

1:07:48

Both. Yep, both. Because

1:07:50

I'm unsure. I

1:07:54

don't know. It'd be... It'd

1:07:57

be cool if she actually turned around.

1:08:00

helped us but I guess

1:08:02

we can never really be

1:08:05

sure about that now, huh? Wow,

1:08:09

I didn't expect to think about this that much

1:08:11

today. I'm

1:08:16

not sure that it needs to

1:08:19

be said, given

1:08:21

the way you often

1:08:26

operate when

1:08:28

we are on a mission. But

1:08:39

I would say you should not let

1:08:41

her be the one to kill you. Alright.

1:08:48

Kill her first. Damn

1:08:52

integrity working. Let's

1:08:54

fucking go, Sisby. Let's

1:08:57

go. Damn,

1:09:00

Sisby. Yeah, okay.

1:09:05

Thanks for looking out for me. Enjoy

1:09:07

your ham operant sunset. Thanks.

1:09:15

Let me know if you need, if you want a

1:09:17

break from tearing the spit to do something else. I

1:09:21

can help out. Go

1:09:24

ahead and advance that clock that I believe is

1:09:26

Sisby's afraid to get their hands dirty. Listen,

1:09:29

the more we advance it, the sooner I can

1:09:32

change it. This

1:09:34

is true. Should we have

1:09:36

to, is that right? I

1:09:39

just put mine up at three. Yeah,

1:09:42

I just put mine up at three. Cool.

1:09:49

Those are our fade scenes, which

1:09:51

leaves us with, and

1:09:54

Corey, that was your scene, right? That

1:09:56

was my scene. Alright. That

1:09:59

leaves us with a... a fizzbee

1:10:01

scene and a brine scene. I

1:10:04

believe. Are we saving

1:10:06

brines for the end because of command deck? I think

1:10:09

we are. That's what it seems like we're doing. Yeah,

1:10:12

I, just while we have

1:10:14

a break, I was thinking of doing command

1:10:16

deck with other Millennium Break

1:10:18

people. As

1:10:20

like a, have my cake and use it too. Sure.

1:10:24

So then yeah, fizzbee is your scene going to be

1:10:26

at this party or are we going to call that

1:10:29

thing to a close? I think my scene is post

1:10:31

party. Post party. So

1:10:33

any other final party situations? Now is the time. Oh, everybody's

1:10:35

about to be. Yeah,

1:10:38

I think token remaining. Let's

1:10:42

see. Dre

1:10:45

out of tokens, Keith out of tokens. Yeah.

1:10:48

Sylvie out of tokens. No, I have one. Oh,

1:10:51

you have one. You have one. I have

1:10:53

one token. You have one token. If we

1:10:55

wanted to just like have

1:10:57

moves here, do we

1:10:59

need a token for that? What do you

1:11:01

mean? Like

1:11:04

if I had a new

1:11:07

move that maybe I wanted

1:11:09

to use to just

1:11:13

like see what happens. I don't think

1:11:15

I, I don't think I want to, but

1:11:18

I don't really remember the rules of like,

1:11:20

hey, we're at a public place. You're at

1:11:22

a scene. Yeah. Like, you're

1:11:24

building, read the room. Yeah, totally. Downtime

1:11:26

is, is, you know, downtime

1:11:29

scenes and in

1:11:31

general, you know, between missions,

1:11:34

if there's something you want to do that's not a

1:11:36

mission, we can do that. It means the clock's tick,

1:11:38

right? It means the world continues. But like, there

1:11:40

is, there is, what you want to go do is

1:11:43

something that's not covered in downtime scenes. That

1:11:47

is totally a thing that is, you know, fine

1:11:50

to do. What, what. Tef. What I

1:11:52

want to make sure of is that it

1:11:55

doesn't that like, I always

1:11:57

want to make sure that if people could like make sure they've cleared

1:11:59

their peril. Or if they're like gunning for a level

1:12:01

up or something to get those done before suddenly We

1:12:04

stumble into something that suddenly is a mission. You know

1:12:06

what I mean? No I

1:12:13

Was sort of Thinking

1:12:15

of you of this move stir the

1:12:18

crowd You

1:12:21

have connections involving law enforcement and policing when you

1:12:23

reach out to them hoping to gain insight on

1:12:25

the authorities activities Roll plus talk on a plus

1:12:27

ten. They let slip something big on a seven

1:12:29

to nine. It comes at a cost and there's

1:12:33

Some things there so that seemed like might be

1:12:35

useful for actually called that or as I fuck

1:12:37

up and leave a different thing Named that is

1:12:39

that actually called start the crowd. I

1:12:42

bet that's just what it says here I

1:12:44

I bet in that just I bet that that's from what

1:12:46

I made when I hacked together

1:12:48

this playbook Sure,

1:12:50

then on the excel sheet. Let me find

1:12:52

the actual thing. That way we save when

1:12:54

it actually is Which

1:12:57

book was this in the dentist? Let's see

1:12:59

if I have I Think

1:13:03

that it's from final mission Investigator

1:13:07

yeah Okay,

1:13:11

he's actually called general

1:13:13

generational investigations As

1:13:16

what it's actually how that will change it in the playbook

1:13:20

There's a crowd feels like a different thing. I

1:13:22

think that that's maybe a diplomat thing or Yeah,

1:13:25

it's yeah, it's a diplomat move. Yeah

1:13:29

Cool so yeah,

1:13:33

I would say that that's totally a thing that you could do

1:13:35

during downtime Like

1:13:38

absolutely Would

1:13:43

maybe not be a thing to do at the

1:13:45

party but like an after the party before something

1:13:47

before plan and prepare Yeah, yeah, I wanted to

1:13:49

just to just say it before we started doing

1:13:51

it plan and prepare. Yeah, I gotcha I

1:13:56

would like to text Jess it

1:13:58

1:17:12

might have been doing it for too long I

1:17:16

good luck on the next mission

1:18:33

Like the dough like the dough of the

1:18:35

bread yeah, right the millennium break mindset right?

1:18:43

There are people we lost and no one Even

1:18:46

says their names anymore. That's what's

1:18:48

on my mind When

1:18:50

it's done. I don't know if anyone will remember

1:18:52

any of us And

1:18:54

it might be our fault because we don't

1:18:56

do a good enough job of remembering the people brought

1:18:58

us here That's what's on my

1:19:00

mind Also

1:19:04

some other stuff, but yeah You're

1:19:07

drunk, and this is

1:19:09

a party and when we die people

1:19:12

remember the good things that we did Eventually

1:19:16

have fridgines funeral Fuck

1:19:18

1:20:21

an engineer

1:20:23

on board

1:20:25

deal you

1:20:28

know I always told myself the

1:20:31

Bonta Valley was the thing and

1:20:34

I guess we're gonna try for other stuff Shale

1:20:36

belt Carleone temple I

1:20:38

don't know what's next but

1:20:41

it seems really far away and

1:20:43

I've been in the

1:20:45

caves and the mountains for a

1:20:49

few years now yeah

1:20:52

you know me I should just stay they probably need

1:20:54

me but and

1:20:57

you already have other things going on I

1:21:04

you know I that's

1:21:06

about to consider it

1:21:09

is I'm sorry I'm gonna

1:21:11

get bread yeah sure I'll

1:21:14

text you in the morning yeah stands

1:21:21

up neat hands on these hands

1:21:24

on log I've had pictures sitting on

1:21:26

a log around a bonfire you know

1:21:28

like you know like a bonfire push

1:21:31

up a

1:21:33

little nod slow walk away later that

1:21:37

night text you an emoji of bread

1:21:47

oh how this relationship would be if they didn't talk to each

1:21:49

other whether they were drunk or sick all the time perfect

1:21:53

that's what makes it

1:21:55

the situation Wait,

1:22:00

never mind. I didn't even some bread instead. Oh

1:22:03

my god College

1:22:11

of her right College

1:22:15

that's who yeah, that's

1:22:18

a good shot some corn just to drop it.

1:22:20

Yeah, that's how it feels sometimes All

1:22:23

right Do

1:22:26

you want to do this move a clock tick? Closer

1:22:29

to plan prepared do we want this me to

1:22:31

do her scene? Yeah, I can wait. I'm

1:22:34

just be seeing this me What are you getting up to?

1:22:36

Yeah, I Want

1:22:39

to help the twill like get settled

1:22:41

in? Oh, that's fun. It's a post-party

1:22:43

thing. Yeah, I had a nice. Yeah,

1:22:45

but it's like I

1:22:48

don't know what that looks like a

1:22:50

probably a Rotifying in my head. Well,

1:22:52

yeah, it's a say but like, yeah

1:22:55

Um, is it like helping

1:22:57

them like set up houses or like

1:22:59

clear out existing houses or? Yeah,

1:23:02

I think I was things like other stuff

1:23:05

Yeah, I think that I was thinking about what

1:23:07

that means There's an area that's been damaged from

1:23:10

the fight that if

1:23:12

they set up near it They could help

1:23:14

try to like they would like

1:23:16

to help like fix it You know

1:23:18

what? I mean this kind of war torn Battlefield

1:23:21

area. It's a thing that they're good

1:23:23

at. It's a thing that they would feel like We're

1:23:25

here helping and not just like being gifted

1:23:28

this space. You know what I mean? Like

1:23:31

especially since it's not Again,

1:23:33

this isn't where this particular group of twill

1:23:35

is from originally, right? And so it's like

1:23:37

they don't want to like be told. Okay

1:23:39

now move your whole life here. But if

1:23:41

what they're doing is Being

1:23:44

here to work on this thing and getting

1:23:46

housed while they do it that feels different

1:23:49

I think to the community in the separate

1:23:51

way and also like There

1:23:53

is the promise the promises we're going to

1:23:55

get you this area Greenfield back and like

1:23:58

that is where you're gonna go live right? That is your That

1:24:00

is where you are from. You need to be able to return to

1:24:02

that place if you want to. We

1:24:04

got a fucking cake, Exeter, March out of

1:24:06

there first, but like we're gonna do it. But for

1:24:08

now, here's a project and here's

1:24:10

a place to live. But yeah, they definitely need

1:24:12

to establish like houses and

1:24:16

basic farming equipment set up and all the other

1:24:18

stuff that goes into all of that, you know?

1:24:22

So yeah. And

1:24:24

is this, we just gonna help out with that? Is it

1:24:27

gonna be kind of a quicker scene, like a high level

1:24:29

one? Or do you want to dig into some of the

1:24:31

other stuff that's going on with this? What do you want

1:24:33

to do? I don't know. I

1:24:36

have this 12 o'clock and so little happens with

1:24:38

it that on the one hand, I think

1:24:40

it's easy to just go big and keep it broad.

1:24:43

But on the other, I feel like we should probably

1:24:45

see a little bit of that. We're

1:24:47

really close to advancing it,

1:24:49

right? Yes. Yeah.

1:24:52

When it advances, you could abandon

1:24:54

it, which sounds bad. But also,

1:24:57

if we're setting them up here, then it is kind of like

1:24:59

putting a bow on it. You put a

1:25:01

bow on it, yeah. And could free it

1:25:03

up for a clock with another player character

1:25:05

or another NPC that you care about or

1:25:07

whatever, right? So yeah, I think that that

1:25:09

makes sense. So yeah, I think that there

1:25:12

is, if you

1:25:14

think about that original group, there

1:25:16

were the pair of Twilfolks

1:25:19

who originally, and maybe even, you

1:25:21

know, partial palisade is gonna help you with this. I feel

1:25:23

like, you know, two of

1:25:25

these Twilfolks were who helped

1:25:29

get partial into this space, right? It

1:25:32

was criminal collage and criminals, like the

1:25:34

other guy who was working with criminal,

1:25:37

whose name I don't remember off the top of

1:25:39

my head. I think best in best in vicinity.

1:25:43

The two of them are, you know, are

1:25:45

probably the ones who you

1:25:47

work with here. And I think partial is helping. I'm

1:25:51

curious for you, does this stuff feel

1:25:53

different for Thisbe as you, this is

1:25:56

the type of task you've done your

1:25:58

whole life. Yeah. Yeah, I think most

1:26:01

of my clock advancement with the twill has

1:26:03

been like moving stuff

1:26:05

for them and like That's what fizzbee

1:26:07

is Yeah, yeah That's and I'm sure

1:26:09

often the way that fizzbee is like this

1:26:12

is the way I can help you is You

1:26:14

have one truck and you need to move

1:26:16

six heavy things. You know, right? You're

1:26:18

the beer like for you. It's

1:26:21

damn That's real

1:26:25

This be the best death stranding DLC ever

1:26:28

you guys just get a fizzbee this we

1:26:30

can help you carry stuff. It's great I'm

1:26:35

curious of doing this task posts

1:26:38

being tied to integrity Feels

1:26:41

different or if there

1:26:43

are small differences you wouldn't have expected

1:26:46

The thing we wouldn't have expected. Um,

1:26:49

I wonder if

1:26:52

Part of it is like, you

1:26:54

know, if this people usually Or

1:26:56

would usually be like, you know, what

1:26:58

do you need me to do? Yeah

1:27:01

Yeah, and that's not because she doesn't look

1:27:03

and identify what needs to be done But

1:27:06

it is it's habit right? It's habit of like

1:27:09

well, I can see that this needs to be done but

1:27:12

I Should still ask

1:27:14

and be told what to do. Mm-hmm

1:27:17

and I wonder if there is Maybe

1:27:21

I don't you know, I

1:27:23

don't want it to be that integrity

1:27:26

like makes

1:27:29

her You

1:27:32

know, it's not a it's not a it's

1:27:34

not a switch that's flipping and

1:27:36

making her be like autonomous and

1:27:38

stuff like that I think

1:27:40

it is just a Record there's

1:27:43

a recognition there of like no, I know

1:27:45

and like if I don't

1:27:47

always knew I will ask Mm-hmm

1:27:50

But in this case and in

1:27:52

most cases often I know

1:27:54

like I know okay they need me to

1:27:56

pull this trailer because the the the

1:28:00

the vehicle they have for

1:28:02

moving the fire equipment or whatever, the torque on

1:28:04

the engine isn't strong enough or something. It's

1:28:09

slightly, it's

1:28:12

confidence, right? Yeah, yeah, definitely.

1:28:16

And again, I think you and I talked about

1:28:18

this a little bit off mic between recording sessions

1:28:20

and the thing that you kind of identified was

1:28:22

like, it's

1:28:25

helping FYSB recognize that

1:28:28

there were already priorities

1:28:30

or knowledge or perspective. Yeah.

1:28:33

We already had a perspective on things, already had

1:28:36

those things and just kind of was

1:28:39

actually pushing that down in some ways

1:28:42

or not pushing it down, but you know, it's

1:28:46

almost like drawing something into relief. It's

1:28:48

not fixing something with FYSB. It's not

1:28:50

changing how you see people. It's

1:28:52

not changing any, you know what I mean? It's not

1:28:55

that. It's putting an underline under a thing that was

1:28:57

already written. Right, right,

1:28:59

exactly. Now my question

1:29:02

ends up being long-term, who's doing

1:29:04

the underlining? And

1:29:06

we'll see. And when it's helping

1:29:08

someone set up housing, it's

1:29:10

working really well and we'll figure out

1:29:12

what is up with integrity long-term. Again,

1:29:17

big surprise for me, I don't have immediate

1:29:19

integrity plans, right? But

1:29:21

yeah, no, we'll get there and we'll figure it

1:29:23

out. I've

1:29:25

been doing the work to find the ways

1:29:27

to play it that I

1:29:29

think feel okay and true to what I've

1:29:32

been trying to do with this character. But

1:29:37

in terms of long-term stuff. Yeah,

1:29:41

we'll get there. No

1:29:43

rush. Anyone

1:29:46

spending tokens during this? You are

1:29:48

obviously advancing a spotlight and

1:29:51

you're at two o'clock, which will go up

1:29:53

to six and then we'll become free. And

1:29:55

you'll get an advancement from that. Hell yeah.

1:29:58

And then I'll figure out a new clock. I think I should probably. I

1:30:00

figured a clock with eclectic that makes sense

1:30:02

to me like they're going to collect the

1:30:04

gee. Yeah clock. Yeah, good Mm-hmm

1:30:07

that bad That's bad

1:30:09

for Jean also only had one well. I wasn't good

1:30:11

either Yeah, damn.

1:30:13

Well you had you had my

1:30:16

own self-be clock also, but yeah, that is

1:30:18

I also had my own self-be clock Yeah,

1:30:20

Virginia did not have a problem leveling up.

1:30:23

No what they had a problem with was

1:30:25

having scenes with other people Pee

1:30:27

down. Yeah, totally. So then yeah, I

1:30:29

think a figure Sorry

1:30:32

a fisbee eclectic clock Every

1:30:37

character I have you're gonna call for her or

1:30:40

what? That fisbee is on it

1:30:43

makes sense to have a bit of her

1:30:48

What's the there's a pirate

1:30:51

no What

1:30:54

there's a word in French that maybe it's just

1:30:56

the same in English Reproachments

1:30:59

or a push man. It's

1:31:01

like you get some people are

1:31:03

like get closer But

1:31:05

like it's like enough one nice tidy word for

1:31:08

it. Oh It's

1:31:10

not reproachman in English. No,

1:31:12

that's feels like the Yeah,

1:31:18

yeah, yeah It's

1:31:23

like a verb it's like a you know Anyway,

1:31:27

it feels like that would be a thing

1:31:29

that that makes sense to happen Sure.

1:31:32

Yeah, I think so too that makes sense and we'll see

1:31:34

that develop maybe as we Yeah,

1:31:37

leave it open for now and we'll figure it out

1:31:39

between sessions and fill it in All

1:31:42

right. I think that's gonna bring us to

1:31:45

command x slash briefing room Brian

1:31:48

I'm gonna use your move. You're right. Yes.

1:31:50

Yeah So this is just you're on the

1:31:53

ship for your you're hanging out in the

1:31:55

world. You're looking through your

1:31:57

little black already What

1:31:59

do you have? which sorry

1:32:01

was a few said I have a phone or

1:32:03

what I'm asking like where are your keys so

1:32:05

you have you it's you have connections involved in

1:32:07

law enforcement and policing when you reach out to

1:32:10

them hoping to gain insight on the authorities activities

1:32:12

role plus talk I'm

1:32:14

asking where you

1:32:18

I'm asking where where you keep

1:32:20

the contact info like does have

1:32:22

like a little black book do

1:32:24

you just have like a

1:32:26

burner phone with all of your old contacts in it

1:32:28

like what do you how do you keep this kind

1:32:30

of these contacts organized. Well

1:32:33

I've already I've already shown my little

1:32:35

notebook do you have I have a

1:32:38

little I have just sort of like

1:32:40

a it's not an address book but

1:32:42

it's just like names and numbers and

1:32:46

like other contact information descriptions

1:32:49

of people this is a this is

1:32:51

for johning yeah. Your

1:32:54

job book. Yeah,

1:32:57

and I think that what I would

1:32:59

I will be yes, but

1:33:02

my daily job. I

1:33:06

think what I want to do is like now that I have

1:33:08

this information I kind of want to like look

1:33:10

at my little sort of you know

1:33:13

these are like mini mini

1:33:15

dossiers of people and

1:33:17

be like who who did I know that

1:33:20

I think might know something who did you know

1:33:22

that you think might know something. Like

1:33:30

maybe the

1:33:32

like maybe the captain of like

1:33:34

our like the

1:33:37

I guess I don't know if they even be called

1:33:39

captain captains who are real cops but like that sort

1:33:42

of role like someone that was in managerial

1:33:44

maybe someone that I met at a party

1:33:46

someone these are like the sorts of people

1:33:48

that I'm thinking of them I know something

1:33:50

like if I if

1:33:52

I had like a buddy that did a

1:33:54

lot of security details for important people that's

1:33:56

an interesting with that that's fun to me

1:33:58

okay the thing of like. Like someone

1:34:01

who, like

1:34:03

let's swing big, maybe you

1:34:06

know someone who occasionally did

1:34:08

bodyguard duty either

1:34:10

for Ex-Enchester March or for someone

1:34:12

like a VP at the

1:34:14

Frontier Institute, you know what I mean? You

1:34:17

know the Frontier Syndicate rather? That

1:34:19

to me feels fun, you know? Because

1:34:23

then they would have overheard stuff, you

1:34:25

know? Yeah.

1:34:28

So, he's just like

1:34:30

the kind of person that people say stuff in front

1:34:32

of without him. Exactly. Yeah, they just assume that everything

1:34:34

is... I don't know if... Never

1:34:37

mind, never mind, it's fine. Okay. Let's,

1:34:41

yeah, yeah, I like this idea. This

1:34:44

person's name is... Need

1:34:49

a name for this person who's like a bodyguard. B,

1:34:54

it starts with a B. What's the next

1:34:56

letter? We all know the next letter of course. Bronco. It's

1:34:59

Bronco. Bronco. There we go.

1:35:01

Haul up your buddy Bronco. Make

1:35:05

a note about Bronco, please. Okay,

1:35:07

note. Buddy

1:35:10

Bronco. Buddy Bronco. Buddy Bronco.

1:35:12

Yeah, Buddy Bronco, that's right. So, what's this role?

1:35:14

You read me this move. You

1:35:17

have connections involved in law enforcement

1:35:20

and policing when you reach out

1:35:22

to them hoping to gain insight

1:35:24

on the authority's activities role plus

1:35:26

talk. On a 10 plus, they

1:35:28

let slip something big. On

1:35:30

a seven to nine, it comes at a

1:35:32

cost. Choose one of the following. You let

1:35:34

something slip, take disadvantage on the next lead

1:35:37

authority role. They extract the promise of something

1:35:39

in return from you or the information comes

1:35:41

slowly, you'll have to act fast to use

1:35:43

it. Let's have this call before we do

1:35:45

the role. I need to hear

1:35:47

a collective calling and work in a lead. Yeah,

1:35:51

1:35:53

1:39:21

time information. I'm 20 feet tall. You're 20 feet

1:39:24

tall. You already know everything. That's why you left

1:39:26

us. Wow.

1:39:28

He already knows all about the world. Doesn't need

1:39:30

1:40:00

Do you get to keep your stuff there or?

1:40:02

Yeah, you gotta get a little rotate, a little

1:40:04

rotate closet. You

1:40:06

hit the button, it rotates, you get your stuff, you lay it

1:40:08

out. No. Okay. Long

1:40:10

story short, I don't know shit about

1:40:12

these factories. Oh. And

1:40:17

I would like to know everything about them.

1:40:19

Oh baby boy, eclectic needs his information bottle,

1:40:21

huh? Yeah. I'm

1:40:24

thirsty. Thirsty for information. Classic,

1:40:27

eclectic. No. Oh

1:40:30

yes. Now

1:40:36

what are we talking about? You looking to, you looking to buy,

1:40:38

you looking to trade, you looking to steal? To

1:40:44

find steal. Well, like from you,

1:40:46

it'd be an insulting thing to do, wouldn't it? It

1:40:49

would be very, that surprised you off. I wasn't offering, I

1:40:51

was trying to find out what you were looking to do.

1:40:54

No, I'm not trying to steal. I'm

1:40:57

trying to just have, if I could,

1:40:59

try and have, give me a roll. Okay.

1:41:06

So 2d6 plus one, ones

1:41:08

are sixes. Ten. That is

1:41:10

a ten. Five plus four plus one is a ten. On

1:41:13

a ten plus, they let slip something big.

1:41:17

You know what, I don't think I'm gonna tell you shit. Big

1:41:20

boy eclectic, leaves the city behind. He

1:41:23

goes, oh, I'm such a big boy. I can

1:41:25

go wherever I want to go. I don't need

1:41:27

to check in at work. I

1:41:29

can no call no show and

1:41:31

leave my partner up to his

1:41:33

shins and shit. Look,

1:41:36

city city is not a place for a guy who

1:41:38

can rapidly change from big to small over and

1:41:40

over and over again for a whole fucking conversation. Some of

1:41:43

us have to live our lives the same size day in

1:41:45

day out and make the best of what we get. You

1:41:49

could have come, everybody could have come. I don't know, but

1:41:51

you don't know shit about these factories. You

1:41:53

come to me. You don't know the first thing. You

1:41:56

don't know how, you don't know there's 20 of them. You don't

1:41:58

know that if five of them get knocked off and inside of

1:42:00

one hour that the whole thing goes down.

1:42:02

You don't know that they're trying to build

1:42:04

a bunch of different little motions running around,

1:42:07

biting people's kneecaps and whatnot. You

1:42:09

don't know the first thing about

1:42:11

what's going on on

1:42:13

Palisade, do you buddy? Mid-side

1:42:17

eclectic. I'm

1:42:21

just a middle of the road regular guy. I'm

1:42:23

just a regular guy. I'm

1:42:25

just a regular guy, I'm eclectic. Oh,

1:42:28

I'm just a regular guy. Yeah, I'm just a regular guy.

1:42:30

Fuck you. Fuck

1:42:33

you. How about this? How about fuck you buddy?

1:42:36

Yeah, how about go fuck yourself? How about

1:42:38

fuck you? You're buddy, you're literally buddy. You're

1:42:40

buddy, I'm buddy Bronco. You're buddy. I'm buddy

1:42:42

Bronco. I'm baby. You're

1:42:46

buddy. You're baby. You're baby buddy. You're

1:42:50

baby buddy. Being a baby. Also,

1:42:53

you owe me a bowling match. Don't

1:42:56

you? You piece of shit. I

1:42:59

won that match. It got called off in

1:43:01

the final frame. We don't know what was

1:43:03

gonna happen. I was up by 180. Didn't

1:43:07

finish the game, that's an incomplete. It

1:43:13

was mathematically impossible for you to win

1:43:15

five frames in. No

1:43:17

such thing as impossible, only

1:43:20

improbable. Fine,

1:43:23

I want the rematch. Fine.

1:43:27

Next time you're in city city, it's me

1:43:29

and you buddy. Double

1:43:33

or nothing. Quadruple, you're gonna

1:43:35

need it, those big pockets. I'm

1:43:39

the nothing, you're the quadruple. You're the

1:43:41

quintuple. You're the quadruple.

1:43:44

You're twice the size of me, but half the

1:43:46

man. You're,

1:43:50

yeah, uh-huh, a fucking shit. You're

1:43:52

a big human shit. That's

1:43:55

right, I'm human shit and I'm proud of it.

1:43:58

Now get the fuck off my line. work to do

1:44:22

So I got one Well

1:44:32

what I had before was weird factories are sucking

1:44:35

in smoke in order to revive motion Why do

1:44:37

why do they do this there are 20 of

1:44:39

them? There are also prototype underpowered motion bots hanging

1:44:41

around baseline you got all that yeah, that was

1:44:43

all old now You know that was all now

1:44:46

I know I know five of them within the

1:44:49

window of one hour and the whole thing all

1:44:51

come out five one

1:44:53

hour Um Do

1:44:59

you think that this Hit

1:45:01

the clock right? This

1:45:04

is gotta fill yeah, and is that a

1:45:06

level no? That's not a

1:45:08

business on the left This removes

1:45:10

three ticks from among authority schemes you're aware

1:45:12

of you may start on a new investigation

1:45:15

clock or Redefine your current

1:45:17

one as you dig in deeper So

1:45:19

this reduces the thing because you're able to

1:45:21

give this information to everybody right mm-hmm

1:45:24

Yeah, and so I think what's actually happening here

1:45:26

is like this is why I can't just hit

1:45:29

the button right is This

1:45:32

motion clock goes back down to zero What's

1:45:34

that look like you've got this information? Given

1:45:38

the tensions of the recent situation

1:45:40

with merch. I would love

1:45:42

to see you convince Brine

1:45:46

to get this or or to convince the Millennium

1:45:48

break leadership or the cause leadership to take action

1:45:50

on this thing right because like you Got the

1:45:52

six o'clock. I'm gonna give you the lower thing

1:45:54

But what's it look like when you say we

1:45:56

have to hit five of these things super quick

1:45:58

to turn down the To

1:46:00

make it not complete tonight basically right

1:46:02

yeah Yeah, and open the window for

1:46:05

a real for actually stopping it because

1:46:07

the clock doesn't get erased right right

1:46:09

I'm gonna I am now going to

1:46:12

advance it again right after whatever happens

1:46:14

next But

1:46:16

go ahead we're gonna say Ally do we Presenting

1:46:23

information yeah Yeah,

1:46:27

yeah exactly Let's

1:46:30

do that let's do the command deck brief room you said

1:46:32

you wanted to have other cause people their money and break

1:46:34

people Yeah, just because

1:46:36

I would have done that with my scene so

1:46:39

yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense Who who is

1:46:41

there is this are you there? Are you at

1:46:43

the leadership place? Are you doing

1:46:46

like like is the leader of each

1:46:48

of these other factions there? Maybe

1:46:54

some of them are calling in Right.

1:46:56

Yeah But this is

1:46:58

me in a collective driving down To

1:47:01

wherever it's taking place this week obviously To

1:47:13

talk it out all right

1:47:17

I think half of the

1:47:19

the commanders are here Of

1:47:23

each of the cause divisions

1:47:25

or factions rather Let

1:47:29

me make sure I have everyone's names right really quick

1:47:31

I have to pull up the last time I wrote

1:47:33

them all down which of course was the

1:47:35

note from when I Figured

1:47:38

out who voted to send you into harm's

1:47:40

way without

1:47:44

Who didn't and who decided not to do that? Let's

1:47:46

see here here we go All

1:47:49

right, so at this meeting either in

1:47:51

1:48:32

new about Gucci is there never is

1:48:34

1:48:36

I think I think Jack told me

1:48:38

1:48:40

actually shows up for Carmine bite at these

1:48:42

meetings very unique from

1:48:45

Rose River and of course General

1:48:47

Secretary Mustard Rhett is here today of

1:48:50

course oh no

1:48:53

I collected you ready to say

1:48:55

your part on this I'm right

1:48:58

they're all prepped I told them that you

1:49:00

have some sort of important information I'm Gucci

1:49:03

guaranteed by the way pleasure to meet you I

1:49:05

knew leap really

1:49:10

talented very

1:49:12

talented let's go in and everyone's

1:49:16

already either here or again there's like a broadcasting

1:49:18

array set up so that they can watch I'm

1:49:22

just gonna let our agent mr.

1:49:26

eclectic deliver

1:49:28

the information the

1:49:30

floor is yours I

1:49:32

hope by now everybody's noticed the factories

1:49:35

popping up in the baseline cities 20 of

1:49:37

them what some of you may not know

1:49:39

is that these are part

1:49:41

of an authority plot to revive

1:49:44

motion I have Intel

1:49:47

that if we can knock out five of these towers

1:49:49

within one hour the whole

1:49:52

thing collapses collapses

1:49:55

permanently or collapses we

1:49:58

get a little reprieve asks

1:50:00

August righteousness. Nothing's

1:50:03

permanent, but they would have

1:50:05

to rebuild. This isn't a

1:50:10

reboot. It's done. This

1:50:13

is not true. This is not what I said. Oh,

1:50:15

well then the reverse of that. Uh-huh. Again,

1:50:18

the thing that will happen is this will make

1:50:21

the whole thing stretch out longer, but it will

1:50:23

not stop it because they still have the other

1:50:25

15. It's just that it

1:50:27

will put a meaningful slow on the

1:50:29

process of

1:50:32

the resurrection,

1:50:35

basically. Still

1:50:38

valuable, says righteousness. Motion,

1:50:42

as some of you may not be

1:50:44

aware, was... Who was

1:50:47

motion? At the

1:50:50

time was with the pact of necessary venture

1:50:53

and apostolus back in

1:50:56

partisan. Right. Yeah. Was

1:50:59

a... An

1:51:03

enemy used by still

1:51:06

apostolus was

1:51:09

a major tension point with our

1:51:12

engagement on partisan and

1:51:17

it's a big deal. Big

1:51:19

deal. Big, big deal.

1:51:24

I think looking at this

1:51:26

list, Veronique

1:51:28

says, Captain

1:51:33

Brine, you just

1:51:35

had us extend ourselves into

1:51:38

the Bonter Valley. We took

1:51:41

losses. Our people are

1:51:43

still licking their wounds. You

1:51:46

want us to do five incursions

1:51:50

into these cities,

1:51:52

these cities that we

1:51:54

know are at least partially defended

1:51:56

by the divine resonance. This

1:52:00

is... It's

1:52:04

a big ask, isn't it? I

1:52:08

think the people of Palisade would ask it

1:52:10

if they knew what was coming for that.

1:52:13

It'll be a bigger deal to ask you to take out motion.

1:52:17

Fair enough. The Blue

1:52:19

Channel, of course, is prepared

1:52:21

to do the majority

1:52:24

of the legwork here. I

1:52:26

have already been in the

1:52:28

process of preparing my

1:52:30

team for the sortie. My

1:52:33

crew is... Full

1:52:39

of freaks. Sure. My

1:52:44

crew is re-supplying

1:52:47

the ship as we speak. Mustard

1:52:51

Redd leads forward and

1:52:54

says, Hi,

1:52:56

my name's Mustard. I'm

1:52:59

the general secretary. I don't run one of the factions,

1:53:01

but I have the secretary's

1:53:05

pejorative, which means I can ask a question.

1:53:10

How did you come about this information? As

1:53:14

is... As

1:53:19

is customary, I do not reveal my

1:53:21

sources. Thank you. Well, not your

1:53:24

sources, but like, you know, did you

1:53:26

talk to people? Did you, like, steal it from

1:53:28

an enemy base?

1:53:32

A combination of tactics.

1:53:34

A combination? A

1:53:37

collective was sent here from a...

1:53:39

sent a... palisade, I mean.

1:53:44

From a satellite,

1:53:47

Millennium Brake crew. You

1:53:50

might know the name Exeter Leap. Maybe

1:53:54

you kind of found me. Hold for a vlog. this

1:54:01

information has been their priority on

1:54:04

town with Abe. So...

1:54:10

Very torsion. That

1:54:12

cough in the background was canon. That's important. I

1:54:15

will not do that. Yeah.

1:54:19

The excerpt, wine, formally the

1:54:21

excerpt of bounty,

1:54:25

says, This

1:54:28

seems important. What

1:54:31

do you need from us? We

1:54:34

can discuss tactics, obviously, but if

1:54:37

you're prepared to move your

1:54:39

own unit, do

1:54:42

you need us to handle four of

1:54:44

the remaining factories? Three? That's

1:54:47

a great question, because I, out of character, don't

1:54:49

know how we're going to search you in this

1:54:51

next prison. Yeah, me either. Well,

1:54:53

we have us for a B-plot. If we think that we

1:54:55

can do two, then we think that we can do two.

1:54:58

Maybe that's a plot. Like,

1:55:01

one for the B-plot and then one

1:55:03

for us. Yeah.

1:55:06

Drop them mechs off and see what's up.

1:55:09

Is that a B-plot? It's

1:55:11

not really a B-plot. That's kind of

1:55:13

splitting the party for an A-plot is what that is. Sorry

1:55:16

that you just gave yourself extra homework here a

1:55:19

little bit, but that is not a different fundamental

1:55:22

thing, right? Sure.

1:55:25

Well, it would be, you know, it wouldn't be the same

1:55:28

tactic. No, but it's the

1:55:30

same outcome that you're chasing, right? You would need

1:55:32

both of you to succeed to get what you're

1:55:34

looking for. Also, there's something kind of weird about

1:55:36

the way the mechanic is working

1:55:39

here, right? Which

1:55:43

is that, Keith, you getting the clue

1:55:45

immediately resets the clock, right? Or subtracts

1:55:48

three from the clock. It doesn't reset the clock, right? But

1:55:53

it doesn't... That

1:55:56

doesn't actually

1:55:58

do... the thing

1:56:00

that you need to do with the information, you

1:56:02

know what I mean? Like, there's a world where

1:56:04

you can imagine like in a different game, what

1:56:07

you did at this point was like, publish

1:56:10

this information online and now they have to

1:56:12

scramble to fix it and that's just not

1:56:14

the world we're in necessarily, you

1:56:16

know? And so we're in a weird place

1:56:18

of like, I'm not giving

1:56:20

you the move in a weird way, right? It

1:56:22

should just do it. It should just and maybe

1:56:24

that's what we need to think about is that

1:56:26

like, removing the three ticks

1:56:30

opens up a possibility to then get

1:56:32

in there and get

1:56:34

the win for real, right? To stop

1:56:37

it from happening for real if

1:56:39

you can XYZ, like

1:56:41

maybe they are going to take out the five

1:56:45

bases letting you go after some sort

1:56:48

of core base, you know?

1:56:50

Maybe that's a better version of a mission? That

1:56:55

sort of makes sense. I'm just relooking

1:56:57

here at like, when your investigation clock completes,

1:56:59

you may remove three ticks from a model

1:57:01

any authority schemes you're aware of. I'm going

1:57:04

to actually read the whole thing out loud.

1:57:06

Vigilant and weary, you've a knack for uncovering

1:57:08

shady background deals and stately conspiracy. You have

1:57:10

a six segment investigation clock, a character creation,

1:57:12

write a mystery about authority activities you're investigating.

1:57:14

When you read the rumor to spell uncertainties,

1:57:16

you may lower the result. That's

1:57:21

separate from, I guess it's actually not. Maybe

1:57:25

this is the thing. When you read the

1:57:27

rumor to spell uncertainties, you may lower the result

1:57:30

of the role from, no,

1:57:32

I think that that clock advances no matter what.

1:57:35

That clock advances when you get a tick on the clock.

1:57:38

When you get clues, it should advance. It shouldn't

1:57:40

only be when you read the rumor to spell

1:57:42

uncertainties and do this specific thing. That is just

1:57:44

a way to do it. I think to follow

1:57:46

the fiction rule on this is that anytime you'd

1:57:49

be getting clues about the conspiracy, it would be

1:57:51

advancing. And then when it completes, you remove the

1:57:53

three ticks. It's just that I have a few

1:57:55

obvious mechanical ways. Exactly, which is reading the rumor

1:57:57

to spell uncertainties and doing this kind of trade-off.

1:58:00

that the move lets you

1:58:02

reduce your success level by one

1:58:04

to get a detail about your

1:58:06

investigation, basically. But what's missing for

1:58:08

me is the mechanism by which

1:58:11

having that information just instantly

1:58:13

reduces the clock,

1:58:15

so to speak. I'm

1:58:20

also looking at something else really quick. One

1:58:22

second. Now, here we go. Now,

1:58:24

here we go. This is a classic. I

1:58:26

should have checked something earlier. There

1:58:29

is a rewrite of this move that

1:58:31

Yuri Rennel sent me, which

1:58:33

I've invested in, not

1:58:36

just investigator, but of a

1:58:38

bunch of these playbooks. Yeah. Which I have

1:58:40

not forwarded until

1:58:43

this literal second, because I was like, let's just finish

1:58:45

out this downtime. And

1:58:48

then, actually, I think I said, let me just finish out this

1:58:51

mission. And then I forgot about it. Vigilant

1:58:53

weary, da da da da da da da.

1:58:55

Same classic thing up top. Then, when your

1:58:57

investigation clock completes, present your findings to the

1:58:59

cause, choosing one of the following

1:59:01

as their response. The cause strikes swiftly, remove

1:59:03

three ticks from among authority schemes you're aware of,

1:59:06

so they'll just do it. The

1:59:08

cause disrupts elements of the division's internal

1:59:10

structure, permanently lowering its strength by one.

1:59:12

You can do this once per division.

1:59:14

That's fucking wild. That's wild.

1:59:16

The cause, covertly black males or smears

1:59:18

key members of the division, increasing their

1:59:21

disfavor by three. Afterwards, start a

1:59:23

new investigation or redefine your current one as you dig

1:59:25

deeper. Okay. Pretty good.

1:59:28

Pretty good. Yeah. Okay.

1:59:30

So, let me just...

1:59:32

So, the cause strikes... The

1:59:34

cause strikes swiftly. So, I think the

1:59:37

thing you could take here is to

1:59:39

remove three ticks to give you more

1:59:41

breathing room, to do a real go

1:59:43

after the central. Okay. So, the idea

1:59:45

is that this here, what we're doing

1:59:48

now, this meeting is what

1:59:50

removes the ticks. Correct. They're going to launch

1:59:52

the ticks. Yeah. And then

1:59:54

that would give us room to do

1:59:56

this mission without this. three

2:00:00

tick clock hanging over. Right. I would start

2:00:02

kicking it up again as a threat like

2:00:04

during that during that mission is like a

2:00:06

fun thing, right? But like, because it's not

2:00:08

it's not a big clock. It's a small

2:00:10

clock. Exactly. You could do that in one

2:00:12

downtime. Exactly. 100% could do it in one

2:00:15

downtime and have not done it in one

2:00:17

downtime because I'm managing the the kind of

2:00:19

like there's other there's other stuff I've been

2:00:21

ticking. And I've been managing the, you

2:00:23

know, I've been waiting to have let's let's do a mission

2:00:25

around it, you know, it never

2:00:27

felt like you were not working towards to

2:00:29

slowing it down, you know, right. And

2:00:33

then, so also,

2:00:36

to be clear, it's a 10 step clock, it's just

2:00:38

that it started with a six step clock that I

2:00:41

finished, right? And then reveals the

2:00:43

second four step clock part of it. Could

2:00:46

you just real quick tell

2:00:49

me the rules of disfavor again, if

2:00:51

a if a faction hits 10, sorry,

2:00:53

if a division hits 10 disfavor,

2:00:56

they get out sorry, if they hit nine, they

2:01:00

get ousted and

2:01:02

either destroyed or turned into a

2:01:04

wayward faction. This is

2:01:06

what happened without the bilateral intelligence service

2:01:08

with Kesha's first faction. This

2:01:11

is brutal, because each of

2:01:14

the divine crusade and the March Institute are

2:01:16

one shy of three disfavor pushing

2:01:19

them to the

2:01:21

top, which would mean that we could

2:01:23

basically we could, if that were true,

2:01:26

we could trade reviving,

2:01:28

taking care of the reviving motion thing

2:01:30

in order to take

2:01:32

out another faction. Yeah, but the faction would

2:01:34

get replaced the next downtime, right, not this

2:01:36

downtime, but the one after so it's like,

2:01:39

it would get disfavored, it would disappear, but it

2:01:41

would not be it's not you're taking a pillar

2:01:43

where it can't come back importantly. Right. But like,

2:01:46

if, if the faction that

2:01:48

was reviving March was the one

2:01:50

that was destroyed, that clock would

2:01:52

get those reviving motion. Yeah, 100%.

2:01:55

Yep. We're

2:01:57

one off. That's just not going to happen here. We're one off. Yeah,

2:02:00

it's just a fun way. Like

2:02:03

with this motion thing, we've been attacking the

2:02:05

clock. But is there a way to turn

2:02:07

getting the clock out into attacking one of

2:02:09

the pillars? No.

2:02:11

Mr. Mark? No. You could instead attack one

2:02:14

of the pillars, right? But

2:02:16

this is not a no. The

2:02:18

answer, and again, that's the thing, right? It's

2:02:20

like you could say, hey, that's enough breathing

2:02:22

room. We've earned enough breathing room to go

2:02:24

hit a pillar instead. I guess I would

2:02:26

say the one that you would want to

2:02:28

hit is the lone marble group, right? They

2:02:30

are the ones who are in charge of

2:02:32

the motion, revived motion stuff, right?

2:02:35

That is the core R&D. But they're zero

2:02:37

grip. Or full grip. They're zero grip, but

2:02:39

we're in a different world now, right? You

2:02:41

can get the Rose

2:02:43

River outcome. That is remove 1D3

2:02:45

grip from a faction or a pillar. Y'all could try

2:02:47

to get a faction, and you could try

2:02:50

to get grip on it yourself. And

2:02:52

then you could try to swing at it

2:02:54

during conflict turn, right? And

2:02:57

just so that I know all of this stuff

2:02:59

for the future, what does reducing

2:03:01

a strength do? It

2:03:04

changes what you need to roll during a downtime

2:03:06

or a conflict scene to win. So

2:03:08

for instance, Stellnadeo is able,

2:03:10

if you're going up against Stellnadeo right now on

2:03:12

a conflict turn, Stellnadeo wins on 1, 2, 3,

2:03:15

and 4. You

2:03:17

roll 1D6 each time. You

2:03:20

need to get a 5 or a 6 to beat them.

2:03:22

Whereas white start Kesh and the frontiers

2:03:24

in the kit, you win

2:03:26

on 3, 4, 5 or 6. Yeah,

2:03:29

gotcha. OK, yeah. So

2:03:31

I think that we should just go with

2:03:33

what we had and remove those

2:03:35

three ticks and set us up for that mission. And

2:03:38

then I will heavily

2:03:41

consider taking advantage of the other pieces

2:03:43

of that move for the

2:03:45

next time I feel like. What

2:03:47

is the mission if Millennium Break

2:03:50

is already attacking these five? Great

2:03:52

question. It might be going

2:03:54

after a lone marble. It might be trying

2:03:57

to, again, we don't have. The

2:04:01

way this thing works is there is not a... It

2:04:04

isn't that the first plant is the good one. You

2:04:06

know what I mean? You have to go destroy the

2:04:08

first power plant and then they're all dead, right? Maybe

2:04:12

it's infiltrating city city and trying to cut

2:04:15

the head off the snake? I don't know. I

2:04:17

don't have a mission for you. Part

2:04:21

of your little promotion, Brian, is

2:04:23

a little more autonomy, right? Figure

2:04:26

out some way of doing a motion, an

2:04:28

anti-motion mission. But the way this move works

2:04:30

fundamentally is just it decreases the clock. It

2:04:32

doesn't stop the thing, right?

2:04:36

And destroying the five things, the thing we

2:04:38

had before also wasn't going to stop

2:04:40

motion from being around forever, right?

2:04:43

Right. So now destroying the five

2:04:46

things is what removes the ticks. Right. Which

2:04:48

is why it sounds zero for... And now our

2:04:50

job is to make that

2:04:53

more permanent. Somehow. Somehow.

2:04:55

Which sounds like the lone marble group.

2:04:58

It does. Which has a little bit of overlap

2:05:01

because that's also in Greenfield, the place we were

2:05:03

just talking about with

2:05:08

the twill. The twill are also from Greenfield.

2:05:10

Or going after some sort of other frontier

2:05:13

syndicate leadership in city city,

2:05:15

right? Assassinating Ex-Nchester

2:05:18

March or kidnapping Ex-Nchester March

2:05:20

or getting into

2:05:22

some sort of central city, city

2:05:25

computer that can deactivate the motion

2:05:27

factories from afar or something else.

2:05:31

Virus. I was

2:05:34

just going to say, the thing that happened here that's

2:05:36

tough is that the

2:05:38

eclectic move is about removing ticks from

2:05:40

a clock, not about stopping a clock,

2:05:43

right? And so that's

2:05:45

what I can give you is that it wasn't

2:05:47

going to ever end with, as

2:05:49

I understand the move, and here's how you stop

2:05:51

this thing permanently, right? So

2:05:54

unfortunately you don't have the detail on

2:05:56

how to stop it permanently. Outside

2:05:59

of destroying. more of them presumably right I

2:06:03

like I mean I don't mind the lone the

2:06:05

malone marvel if they're gonna go and do this

2:06:07

without us if they're like yeah we'll take your

2:06:09

we'll take your info and we'll go blow up I'm gonna

2:06:11

write what the move says the move says they're gonna do

2:06:13

it let's do it I'm not gonna make you

2:06:15

go do a mission for anything your move says is they

2:06:17

just do you know must must

2:06:19

have any other questions um

2:06:22

depends what the mission ends up being

2:06:24

you know if you need any support you

2:06:26

let me know does anyone have

2:06:29

any other things besides maybe doing the

2:06:31

lone marble group mission that would further

2:06:36

demotion motion

2:06:38

I'm good with

2:06:41

emotion to motion

2:06:43

right yeah there's just like a mechanical

2:06:47

yeah there's like a weird gap right I mean

2:06:50

the thing that you're earning in a sense is the

2:06:52

ability to go do anything

2:06:55

else and not worry about motion showing up in

2:06:57

the middle of it right right

2:07:00

that's what you've earned with this move want

2:07:02

to pivot to the girl

2:07:04

thing because we misunderstood how involved

2:07:08

we would have to be in the second part of

2:07:11

it well

2:07:14

but the the problem

2:07:17

with the motion clock is that it's

2:07:19

so small that it could

2:07:21

just get revived next downtime completely unless

2:07:24

I guess there's the lone marble yeah is

2:07:27

this the a B plots plot that

2:07:29

we're talking about though actually I was

2:07:31

using that yeah yeah also what if

2:07:33

the a B plots are each separate

2:07:35

assassination I don't know it's just wow

2:07:39

integrity really working overtime hell yeah let's just be

2:07:41

like why don't we just

2:07:47

assassinate two people it's just you guys now

2:07:49

you're thinking my way huh which

2:07:54

would be exit checkster March and

2:07:56

girls of rack fake yeah

2:07:58

I guess I'll say this This

2:08:01

is a personal concern, more

2:08:03

than a game concern. I

2:08:06

would like to get up to

2:08:08

some Gurs of Rock stuff as Keith, but

2:08:12

I also assume other players,

2:08:15

including Dre, who's got Gurs of Rock, real

2:08:17

Gurs of Rock in their head, also wants

2:08:19

to do that, and that would be tough

2:08:21

to do if I was on B plot.

2:08:23

No, because Dre could be on B plot

2:08:25

with you, right? You don't

2:08:27

have to be a support pro- they don't

2:08:29

have the B plot move, they can't use

2:08:31

that cool ability, right? But you

2:08:33

just have to not be in the sortie,

2:08:35

you know? Now that was a massive

2:08:38

oversight on my part, I didn't know that

2:08:40

at all. Yeah.

2:08:42

Okay. There's a sortie, right? And

2:08:44

you can be part of the sortie, or you don't have to be part of the sortie. What's

2:08:47

important is that, like, if you're not part of the sortie, if

2:08:49

you're a B plot character, you can't get back to it

2:08:51

until you spend all your B plot, right? And

2:08:54

I would probably just extend that similarly, right, to

2:08:56

the other party, which is like, let's wait until

2:08:59

you wrap around B plot's points between the two

2:09:01

of you, right? But

2:09:04

yeah. So then it would be-

2:09:06

There's something stopping you from- Still the engine-een

2:09:10

solo sortie. Duo

2:09:13

sortie. Or duo sortie. Yeah,

2:09:15

I'm very hesitant to be B

2:09:17

plot again because I- all

2:09:19

of my moves are crew stuff. Yeah. Big

2:09:22

spaceship ship. Okay, okay. Like,

2:09:25

all of my moves are about helping other

2:09:27

people. Yeah. Okay. Great.

2:09:30

You want to do a B plot? Yeah, sure.

2:09:33

Does anybody have any qualms with this?

2:09:35

This is weird. No, that's fine, honestly.

2:09:37

It's weird. It's weird. It's

2:09:39

weird. You're all so weird. This is a

2:09:41

freaky mission for a bunch of people. Yeah.

2:09:44

Right, so then what this ends up looking like is the

2:09:48

cause leadership. And I think this is actually

2:09:50

kind of funny, right? That like, you

2:09:53

both came into the room. We all came into the

2:09:55

room thinking, all right, so what's the fucking blue channel

2:09:57

have to do now to actually-

2:10:00

push the ball across the finish line, you know what I

2:10:02

mean, or across the end zone line.

2:10:05

No, don't worry about it. You gave us the intel. We're

2:10:07

going to take care of it. We're going to move our

2:10:09

units. We're going to knock out the five things. While

2:10:11

we do that, you

2:10:14

know, you're of your own recognizance to do

2:10:16

whatever you want, obviously, but here are two

2:10:18

things we would love to get more intel.

2:10:20

You know, I think maybe outright, God,

2:10:23

who would be the person who asks you about this?

2:10:26

I kind of think it's funny if it's

2:10:28

Saint Dicario Dicario, which is kind of like

2:10:31

game recognized game, terrible

2:10:33

religious people, is

2:10:35

like, you know, if you're

2:10:37

so good at finding out information, what

2:10:40

if you dug up a little intel

2:10:42

on Gurs of Rock, you know, and

2:10:44

kind of puts you

2:10:48

on Gurs of Rock, the so

2:10:51

called the the the the the

2:10:55

leader of the new asterism temple, the

2:10:57

threshold on TV all the time. The

2:10:59

preacher. Right. Yeah.

2:11:03

The preacher. Remind me what we

2:11:05

know. Do we all get to this? We all get

2:11:07

that this is a fake Gurs of Rock. Everyone here

2:11:09

gets it. I don't know. Because like, you know, half

2:11:12

these people have never fucking heard of Gurs of Rock

2:11:14

before. Oh, right. Oh, right. Because

2:11:16

that was on the whole other planet. And

2:11:18

then some of them aren't even from the

2:11:20

fucking Twilight Mirage. And to carry the car

2:11:22

is from Twilight. We're millennium break. They're not

2:11:24

all well. Some of them are like millennium

2:11:26

break though, because Gurs of Rock was so

2:11:28

involved with the disc. Gurs

2:11:30

of Rock doesn't pretend that that didn't

2:11:33

happen. Right. Right. No,

2:11:35

that's the thing in millennium. Yeah. Like

2:11:38

that's the past to pretend has to do

2:11:40

what? No, has to be like, we don't

2:11:42

fuck with that guy. Right. Right.

2:11:45

Right. He wasn't with us.

2:11:47

That's imposter. Then it's like, no, you break things.

2:11:49

Yeah. Fucking imposter. What are

2:11:52

they talking about? Right. Like Gucci

2:11:54

believes that this is a right. That is exactly it. And

2:11:56

it's like, we just don't talk about it. You know what

2:11:58

I mean? talk about

2:12:00

it. And so maybe to some degree this is

2:12:02

part of a classic Saint Dicario Dicario thinking that

2:12:05

he's like twisting a knife on you a little

2:12:07

bit, right? Being like, oh the millennium, I'm gonna

2:12:09

put the millennium break people on Gurs of Rock,

2:12:12

you know? Like I want to make them go

2:12:14

after their own guy who I believe

2:12:17

they were always with and who I think that

2:12:19

they just fucked up, you know? They basically like

2:12:21

lost a chess

2:12:23

piece here, you know? Or they had the

2:12:26

wool pulled over their eyes by Gurs of

2:12:28

Rock. And so yeah, I

2:12:30

think requests that you investigate that and

2:12:33

I think August righteousness is like, yeah, or

2:12:35

you could go help us knock out motion

2:12:37

forever. They've

2:12:39

got to have a way of doing it in

2:12:41

lone marble group headquarters. No

2:12:45

one has ever built a bomb that they

2:12:47

couldn't disarm themselves. Not

2:12:49

no one, but it's not the sort

2:12:51

of thing March would do. No

2:12:54

one left to eclectic. I

2:12:57

think we can do both. I think we

2:13:00

can do both, says Gucci. Fuck!

2:13:05

Sorry, out of character, eclectic doesn't know

2:13:07

Gucci. I really thought you were gonna

2:13:09

say, Gucci or eclectic doesn't know how

2:13:11

the word fuck. Yeah,

2:13:15

let me tell you, eclectic does not know the

2:13:18

definition of the word fuck. Oh,

2:13:21

okay. We've

2:13:24

never taught him that.

2:13:28

So yeah, we can definitely do both. Let's

2:13:32

do both, says righteousness.

2:13:35

Let's do both, says mustard

2:13:37

red. I'm

2:13:39

eager to see how this develops. I

2:13:43

do have a real quick. Al,

2:13:45

you do a little, you know something about mustard

2:13:47

red. Me? Mm-hmm.

2:13:50

Yeah, we got a phone call, you

2:13:52

and I. Does

2:13:55

that come up at all? That has not come up

2:13:58

at all. No one has mentioned the fact that Mustard

2:14:00

Red offered you some sort of magical

2:14:04

contract. Oh my god, that's right. Yeah.

2:14:07

Oh yeah. I

2:14:10

was very

2:14:12

hot when that conversation happened. That's true.

2:14:15

I was worried about a TV screen. For

2:14:17

the people who have not listened to the faction game in

2:14:20

the previous, in the faction turn,

2:14:22

the conflict turn, one,

2:14:24

Rhea Conodyne was offered one of

2:14:26

those contracts also. What

2:14:29

was the contract? It was to come help

2:14:31

Arbitrage build the future. And

2:14:34

Conodyne said no to the contract. Okay.

2:14:37

Good for Conodyne. He's going to help Arbitrage build

2:14:39

the future, but no to the contract. No

2:14:42

to the contract. Yes. Oh, yes.

2:14:45

So not good for Conodyne. No, Conodyne's a nightmare. Right.

2:14:49

Well, Birkenkopf's right, that's how it goes. And this is not

2:14:51

one of those feet, Don. No, no. But

2:14:55

yeah, that was a little background on

2:14:57

why Conodyne helped you to begin with. Because

2:15:00

the cost of this was burning the paint shop. What

2:15:03

happens if Brine gives Mustard sort of

2:15:05

a menacing squint? I

2:15:08

think a big smile, right? Yeah.

2:15:12

Right? I think that's what Mustard... And

2:15:15

then what happens if Brine continues that

2:15:17

menacing squint and then sort of like

2:15:19

elbows and then sort of a... That's

2:15:21

the one that I was talking about, Jester. You

2:15:24

know what? Um... No. No,

2:15:27

do what? This

2:15:29

is my thought. This is my thought that

2:15:31

I had, is that Austin is more evil

2:15:33

than Allie. Me? Sure.

2:15:37

But Austin is just as evil as Allie thinks

2:15:39

that she is. Wow! Wait!

2:15:43

What? Damn. Okay.

2:15:45

Wait a second. Let

2:15:47

him talk. That wasn't

2:15:49

even real! I

2:15:52

don't know. I'm crazy like that. I don't

2:15:54

know. I am brutal. About

2:15:58

50. What the fuck did

2:16:00

I do? I'm giving you wreaths! Okay,

2:16:14

alright, if you say so. What

2:16:18

do you say fuck me for? What

2:16:31

does she do? She... Sorry,

2:16:33

was she her or was she she they? She

2:16:36

her. Yeah,

2:16:40

I think she says, unless

2:16:43

there's anything else, I

2:16:45

call this session complete.

2:16:49

If there is something else, you know how to reach me. And

2:16:52

if you need any support, hands

2:16:54

crossed, hands in a little, you

2:16:56

know, hands together, please

2:16:59

reach out. We have all sorts

2:17:01

of options available for supporting you

2:17:03

on your mission. And I just want to

2:17:06

say, I know that for

2:17:08

a little while there, the Blue Channel wasn't

2:17:11

getting the support it needed. And I don't think

2:17:13

that that was right. And I think that's going to

2:17:15

change. I think that we've all...

2:17:18

Is that right, everybody? We all kind of have seen

2:17:20

what the Blue Channel can do and, you

2:17:23

know, really, really want to

2:17:25

have your back out there. Can

2:17:31

I roll something? Sure. What do you want to roll?

2:17:34

What do you want to do? I... Let's

2:17:38

talk about rolling. Let's talk about doing. I want

2:17:41

to look around. I want to

2:17:43

see how people are reacting to

2:17:45

this little speech. Seeing

2:17:50

who's like paying attention

2:17:52

to Mustard Red. See who's... Yeah, go ahead and

2:17:54

read the room. Who's ignoring. Classic

2:17:56

read the room. And

2:18:00

this is what is this a

2:18:02

sense you think that read the room takes sense

2:18:04

which is what you're plus one Plus

2:18:07

one you six plus one. I need

2:18:10

to roll redo You

2:18:12

to redo my macros for that is

2:18:15

nine nine Yeah, I don't

2:18:17

think is it possible. Maybe I

2:18:20

could get a little bit of help from Brian

2:18:22

on this How are you

2:18:25

helping for us look like? Can Can

2:18:28

I offer something yeah Like

2:18:31

I would love to just like kind of sort

2:18:33

of while I'm doing this sort of we know room be

2:18:35

like What's the deal with mustard red?

2:18:42

All right, let's roll to help y'all

2:18:44

don't have a gravity clock right No

2:18:48

when you roll to To

2:18:50

help or hinder plus one if you

2:18:52

spent meaningful time together before the sorting

2:18:56

Mm-hmm. I don't think that's true No,

2:18:58

we went to a party together. We have that

2:19:01

all together though. That's not meaningful. Yeah that whole

2:19:04

Deal on the on the on the deck of

2:19:06

the you know fight you had a little argument

2:19:08

I don't think that's spending meaningful time together You've

2:19:11

not helped her hinder previously. They are not part of

2:19:14

one of your our Brian Do you have Brian is

2:19:16

the one rolling Brian? You still have some sort

2:19:18

of crew? Yeah, the crew put

2:19:20

their faith in me. So I must Prioritize

2:19:22

their safety sure so take plus one two two six plus

2:19:24

one Brian Unless

2:19:26

you have another thing that gives you a bonus here, but I don't think there is We

2:19:29

had the car right over here. That's some time.

2:19:31

We'll time that's a six That's

2:19:36

a that in fact is a failure That

2:19:39

is a spotlight a hundred percent

2:19:42

that means I get to make a move But

2:19:45

let's let's figure out this night first go ahead.

2:19:47

I love that. Okay, so I get two questions

2:19:51

Yeah I'm

2:19:55

gonna ask how

2:19:58

does mustard red really feel? Good.

2:20:03

Helping the world, right? You

2:20:07

can't believe, every day

2:20:09

is kind of like a little miracle. Like

2:20:11

you wake up and you get to do this. That's

2:20:14

beautiful. Thank you. That's

2:20:16

beautiful. Genuine.

2:20:21

What is being overlooked or obscured

2:20:23

here? I'm going to go

2:20:25

back to your original question, which was like, what do

2:20:27

other people think about mustard red? Right? Yeah.

2:20:32

You know, it's a little...no one

2:20:35

here thinks much of mustard red.

2:20:39

There's a real packing your book

2:20:41

bag before the bell rings happening

2:20:44

here, which

2:20:46

is to say everyone is overlooking mustard red.

2:20:50

They're dismissing. And this is

2:20:52

not always the case. But

2:20:55

they're...well, it's the time that

2:20:57

it's time for her to do something is when there's

2:20:59

a tie vote. And otherwise, she is a functionary,

2:21:03

right? Yeah. But

2:21:05

she is able to have the tie vote. And

2:21:07

the thing that is true is she has figured

2:21:10

out things. She's

2:21:16

not lying when she says, if you need help,

2:21:18

let me know, right? She

2:21:21

has come through with extra

2:21:24

missiles or medical care

2:21:26

or transportation that you need for a mission. And

2:21:29

she's done that for each of these people. But

2:21:31

like this mission is...yeah? Sorry.

2:21:36

Has anybody seen the bear? That's

2:21:38

what it's called? Yeah. Yeah.

2:21:42

That's what I was thinking of that entire fucking... No, I haven't seen

2:21:44

both of them. So in season two... Is

2:21:47

the bear good? I love it. In

2:21:50

season two of the bear, there's this whole

2:21:52

sort of mini arc where there's this five-star

2:21:54

restaurant where they go to. And

2:21:57

a thing that the staff does there will like...

2:22:00

Look at all of the names of the people

2:22:02

who have reservations there and are like I Overheard

2:22:05

somebody say that they were in Chicago and they

2:22:07

said that they really decided that they didn't have

2:22:09

any pizza So we brought some real

2:22:11

Chicago pizza at the other meal for their table. Yeah,

2:22:13

they were like blown away Yeah, or

2:22:16

like oh we know that these people

2:22:18

are here for their anniversary We

2:22:21

know that they're low-income we know that we can't they

2:22:24

came out here And she like

2:22:26

does shit like that for people right

2:22:28

and mostly she doesn't ask you to sign

2:22:30

a weird psychic contract The

2:22:32

only time she did it with with y'all on the

2:22:34

way to the cellar combustors because it was the stellar

2:22:36

combustor Right and arbitrage

2:22:39

was over playing the hands right? It's

2:22:41

hard to think of a big deal

2:22:43

like sent very neat like the That

2:22:46

she likes the very most the cake that her

2:22:49

a bad mission and the cake that isn't on

2:22:51

this planet Yeah, right the cake from

2:22:53

when she was like a spoiled rich keshbra You

2:22:57

2:23:02

Tom Cruise cake I'm

2:23:05

sorry. Does everyone know the Tom Cruise cake? No,

2:23:08

it's just like it is like a list

2:23:15

bunch of things take from don't yeah bakery

2:23:29

on there. Thanks Take is

2:23:31

so great. You can only have it once a

2:23:33

year. It's just off the scale fantastic It

2:23:36

is classic like like

2:23:38

vapid interview question thing We're like everyone

2:23:40

you have the time you're known to

2:23:42

be on the cake Everyone

2:23:44

asked you if you've had the Tom Cruise cake. I

2:23:47

need more specific than that though, right, right This is

2:23:49

the complete opposite thing It's not like here's a cake

2:23:51

that I really like it's the cake you really

2:23:53

like that. Nobody else knows It's sure like

2:23:55

the who is that interview guy who is scaring people? Nardwar

2:23:58

nardwar. Yeah Yeah, in Nardwar.

2:24:01

He was scaring people? He

2:24:03

says that. Ice Spice just met Nardwar and

2:24:06

did not know his deal and it came,

2:24:08

it was really rough. Who,

2:24:10

who was it? Ice Spice? Yeah, I

2:24:12

don't blame her for that one. No,

2:24:14

me either. Sure. But he's great.

2:24:16

I love Nardwar and it's Nardwar showing up with like, you

2:24:19

used to get coffee at the donut shop

2:24:23

when you used to do beats on the table

2:24:25

and your first beat went doo doo doo doo.

2:24:28

And then they're like, how the fuck did you know my first

2:24:30

beat went doo doo doo doo? My

2:24:33

first beat was megalovania from

2:24:35

Undertale. Exactly. Shout

2:24:37

out to Nardwar, the human

2:24:39

serviette. I

2:24:43

also learned about Nardwar here. Wait, really? You're

2:24:46

not a Nardwar person? It was

2:24:48

a few, yeah, it was like three or four years ago. Oh, not

2:24:50

here today, the second. No, no, no,

2:24:52

no, no. It was like three or four years ago on some

2:24:55

recording. I was like, who the fuck, what the fuck is

2:24:57

the human serviette? Nardwar. Anyway.

2:25:02

It's that though. Yeah, 100% presenting you with

2:25:04

the vinyl of the first funk song you

2:25:06

ever heard. Yeah. Perfect.

2:25:09

Except it's Missiles. Except it's-

2:25:11

Your favorite Missiles. Your favorite Missiles. It's

2:25:14

the exact, you know, it's the

2:25:16

exact piece of gear you need. It's

2:25:19

Cassandra. I love it when

2:25:21

a plan comes together, but from the outside, right? I

2:25:24

mean, actually it is, Brian,

2:25:28

your move, tactical genius, that

2:25:31

gives, you know, have an ally appear

2:25:33

where they're needed, give remove one risk

2:25:36

from an ally. It's

2:25:38

that, but at the strategic instead of the

2:25:40

tactical scale, right? And

2:25:43

evil. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. I

2:25:46

guess not according to the key. I'm sorry. Well,

2:25:49

it's your NBC now, so I'm going to- Yeah.

2:25:52

Anyway. Time to do this role. Is

2:25:59

that a- I want to spend

2:26:01

my token to uncap the blue channel.

2:26:03

Sure. Wait to un- yeah yeah

2:26:06

yeah, I'll tap it. Yeah yeah yeah, gotcha. Yep.

2:26:08

Boop, done. Yeah, that's y'all. Well,

2:26:12

I mean, that's, you know, you

2:26:14

just did that because when you get back to

2:26:17

the blue channel, gift wrapped are

2:26:19

a bunch of, you know, fresh rations,

2:26:24

you know, there's a gift basket with

2:26:26

cookies, what's your favorite cookie? There's

2:26:29

some deep dish steak there, which you haven't

2:26:31

had in a long time. Ooh.

2:26:34

Uh-huh. Does she know

2:26:36

all the detail of that? I don't think so. That

2:26:38

might be a message from arbitrage. Who

2:26:42

could say, right? But all

2:26:45

that stuff. Check these stacks of- Yeah, hunting is

2:26:47

like, hunting is like, Captain,

2:26:50

I'm so glad you got us all new, you know, cannon

2:26:54

oil. We've needed to re-oil these cannons

2:26:56

for months now. Cool. I

2:27:01

feel like we should have prioritized something like cannon

2:27:03

oil, but okay. Yeah, they can run a

2:27:05

little dry. But they can't run very

2:27:07

dry. Yeah, yeah, that's great. I

2:27:10

put it in the grate. Do

2:27:13

you want some steak? No, I don't really. Yuck.

2:27:17

Oh. Yuck? Yeah.

2:27:20

That's fine. Anyone want some steak? Hell

2:27:25

2:27:29

2:27:31

the steaks. It's all fine. It's all good. It's

2:27:33

all the best. All right. It's

2:27:35

all fine. You

2:27:38

know, it's a little greasy, or it's a little- Mm-hmm. I

2:27:42

collected one of the best. Um,

2:27:44

all right. Roll this

2:27:46

thing, right? Because we actually have

2:27:48

to- Is there any more untaps?

2:27:50

Great question. Great question. Any

2:27:53

more contributes to plan and repair? Yeah, which did you- What

2:27:56

did you- you untapped is what you did. Yeah.

2:27:59

Yeah. Okay, well Sylvia you stole

2:28:01

the token. Do you want to use that for... Oh,

2:28:04

yeah. ...thingy, for yourself or... Yeah, are you gonna

2:28:06

go back and spotlight yourself up? Or

2:28:09

are you gonna untap? I

2:28:12

think I might spotlight myself up. It's a

2:28:14

level, you know? It's a whole

2:28:16

level. It's a whole level, huh? It's a whole level.

2:28:18

You can test for yourself for it. Get

2:28:21

yourself something nice. Thank you. Thank

2:28:23

you Captain. Big salute. You want some of

2:28:25

the steak, it might help with the iron,

2:28:28

right? Iron is what makes you weak

2:28:30

a lot. Steak's full of it. Yeah,

2:28:35

try some. Yeah,

2:28:37

if your... Has your mech cut too much of

2:28:39

your blood recently? Do you want some... do you

2:28:41

want a hamburger? You... He

2:28:44

does not like it when she tries this, by the

2:28:46

way. Corey, want to do something funny? Yeah,

2:28:49

what's up? The time I punched somebody at

2:28:51

a funeral? Is that the steak

2:28:53

store? The steak store. Oh my god!

2:28:55

Yeah, steak stores are the hardest ones. Steak stores, steak

2:28:57

shops? The steak store. The steak

2:28:59

place. Yeah, the steak place. Yeah, that's true.

2:29:02

I didn't realize I had funerals

2:29:04

at steak stores. Depends

2:29:06

how much you like steak, yeah. Wait. Oh,

2:29:10

I'm sure you threw a mean right hook, Captain. Oh.

2:29:13

She's really happy about

2:29:16

the, hey, we both did this stupid thing, like bonding that

2:29:19

Brian is

2:29:23

doing. Stupid thing, like

2:29:25

bonding that Brian is doing for you.

2:29:28

That's like made her day, genuinely. I

2:29:31

wonder whose funeral it was. I asked who

2:29:33

could say. Who could say? Um...

2:29:36

Alright. I wouldn't worry about it. Yeah, it's probably not a big

2:29:38

deal. Uh, plan

2:29:41

and prepare. Plan and prepare. When

2:29:43

you review orders for the next sorting. Yep. Are

2:29:46

we doing it during the downtime instead of the next session for the

2:29:48

first time? No, we've done this at

2:29:50

least once before. Yeah, we've done it once or twice. 3D6,

2:29:54

but it's been around. 2D6 plus the

2:29:56

one you just added from command deck. Flash

2:29:58

briefing room. You get what

2:30:00

do you get? Confidence

2:30:04

I think yes

2:30:06

confidence during plan and prepare so 3d6 ones

2:30:08

or sixes Well

2:30:15

for every result that's above the division strength

2:30:17

So this is this is going after the

2:30:20

frontier syndicate, right? Cuz that's

2:30:22

what's actually going after the which is the

2:30:24

sortie the sortie is the frontier synthesis Sortie

2:30:26

is the first so that's anything over a

2:30:28

three which is all three of those So,

2:30:32

what are you picking here? We

2:30:35

probably want with the

2:30:37

opportunity to secure an outcome always love it. Oops

2:30:39

didn't mean to do that We

2:30:45

love a hold one We

2:30:47

love a hold one all players hold one. It's

2:30:49

a banger maneuver This might be the best move

2:30:52

the best thing like I think this game is

2:30:54

great But I think the thing of like oh,

2:30:56

we're about to do a mission Everybody just gets one

2:30:58

more hold on any of their cool moves that they

2:31:01

want is one of the coolest things you can like

2:31:03

get in this game And

2:31:07

then I don't know we're not gonna have a filler

2:31:10

with the zero grip anytime soon at

2:31:12

least not in the now So

2:31:15

I guess we maybe want to be able

2:31:17

to untap somebody sure I'll do

2:31:20

that. Yeah, we still got two taps

2:31:22

Yeah, Bylakov has been tapped for months.

2:31:24

Oh, what if we brought them back in? Yeah,

2:31:27

sure Well, we just dismantled

2:31:29

this cult Sure. Yeah,

2:31:31

maybe there's a new one. Yeah time you take the

2:31:33

church I just want to say something out loud which is

2:31:36

I did not forget that Ally you

2:31:38

failed that role before Oh,

2:31:40

I thought the steak was a sinister role-failing steak.

2:31:42

I was gonna come back. No, but I will

2:31:44

say that like This is

2:31:46

the sort of I do think that what you've

2:31:48

done has gotten arbitrage attention in that exact way

2:31:52

And so I'm going

2:31:54

to add a clock. It's another four

2:31:56

step clock. Oh brother

2:31:59

and it says arbitrage makes

2:32:02

its move. And

2:32:05

this is the second arbitrage clock, right? Oh,

2:32:09

I'm thinking of which is seven out of

2:32:11

eight, which is not

2:32:13

an arbitrage clock. Yeah. Who's

2:32:16

the other who's the other one? Crusade?

2:32:20

No, no. No,

2:32:23

no, because when there was an arbitrage clock, I think

2:32:25

you might just be off with my mind. Oh,

2:32:30

I'm thinking of the authority. It

2:32:34

says, oh, yeah, the divine arbitrage. It's just

2:32:36

a it's just a pillar here. Yeah. Yeah.

2:32:39

So that's why I'm used to seeing the

2:32:41

word arbitrage. Yeah. That's correct. The amoral machine

2:32:43

turned to factotression. Of

2:32:47

the of just the cause, right? No. Of palisade.

2:32:52

Everybody on palisade spends glint

2:32:55

arbitrages money. All that

2:32:57

shit with you like needing to rent a

2:33:00

bathroom pass, that's arbitrage. Because

2:33:03

it turns out arbitrage has a vision and

2:33:06

that vision is not as simple as the

2:33:08

March Institute is not as simple as the

2:33:10

bilateral institution or the bilateral intercession. One of

2:33:12

our most evil villains. I am so excited

2:33:14

about the fact that arbitrage makes

2:33:17

its move as a clock and is

2:33:20

making some maneuvers. you

2:34:30

you you

2:35:30

you you
