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

12:26

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
was Yeah, what I found while
24:55
searching for that was this image from
24:57
a page Sonic
25:01
OC. Yeah. Yeah It's
25:04
pretty good. It has had this jingles pretty
25:06
good. This is a series or
25:09
they rate jingles from Canadian brands
25:12
Okay, I love this OC is
25:14

25:16
the user right well, but it's
25:18

25:21
okay. I see now. I don't know I
25:23
don't know the shell aging or the red tag that's
25:25
aging with the red tag one I'd
25:28
also don't this
25:30

25:32
head eyes. Why I was crazy look
25:35
I was trying to call the Swiss chalet jingle in
25:37
my head and I got the zest soap
25:39
jingle so I don't Okay,
25:42
you if you haven't heard I'm sure this
25:44
is on a cloudcast somewhere Us
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
do that. That was fun I'd sell that for
25:57
a dollar Would
25:59

26:03
nine not eight
26:06
not six
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
sit you sit what you a beer do you want? You've never
47:22
met this person in your life Do
47:25
you like an IPA do you what do you like
47:27
a logger go to cider? Let's
47:30
me and you go see what sort of beers
47:32

47:38
Wow, wait, can you get can you
47:40
get me something? Yeah, what do you want? Flint
47:43

47:47
really specific Sorry,
47:50
I'll look out Thank
47:54
you, it's eclectic have a brand
47:56

48:00
a place not a brand. Okay. Okay
48:06
Do you have any do you have any do
48:08
they have any Duchess de Bourgeois? I
48:14
don't know. It's not my thing. Look at me That's
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

up rise and grind
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

1:20:01
somebody who
1:20:04
she punch
1:20:08
she might she
1:20:11
might end up like me one day I could
1:20:13
see it's a good start her own
1:20:15
ship your destined you
1:20:19
don't need
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
to stay in city city. The future city. You
1:39:33
don't want to stay in city city. Are
1:39:35

1:39:38

1:39:40
little thing on Wednesdays. On
1:39:43
Wednesdays? Yeah. So you're doing...

1:39:55
up. Wednesdays? Timeshare. Okay.
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
person or on some sort of you
1:47:54
know call is August righteousness
1:47:58
The excerpt wine representing
1:48:00
Grey Pond not

1:48:16
Dicario Dicario I
1:48:18

1:48:21
back from the last scene
1:48:23
with Gucci we're already back to Gucci
1:48:27
Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci hasn't
1:48:29
there's nothing
1:48:32
new about Gucci is there never is
1:48:34
no nags from Carmine by no actually
1:48:36
I think I think Jack told me
1:48:38
that there's a different pirate that
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
know, I you reminded me of the The
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
2:23:10
that Tom Cruise has of this cakes that
2:23:13
you really like white Shop, let's do a
2:23:15
bunch of things take from don't yeah bakery
2:23:17
in California Yeah
2:23:20
Yeah, and it's just like
2:23:22
it just like one of those things that you go
2:23:24
if you're famous enough to be on Tom Cruise's cake
2:23:26
list Or whatever however you get
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
yeah, CO. Midnight,
2:27:27
jump off the stairs to rush
2:27:29
to the steak. I'm metal detecting
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
