0:07

and the many consequences thereof. For

the episode description. Palisade

0:19

is a place where political action

0:21

is no longer reserved for the

0:24

like, what if. Palisade

0:32

is in a position where even if it

0:34

gets rid of the bylads, it also

0:36

needs to find its like,

0:38

planetary identity. But

0:46

what if everything's just like, spookier? My

1:07

goal is to mend the

1:10

scattered shards of divinity. To

1:16

be a force for good acknowledged across the

1:18

galaxies. Connect

1:23

to the wider network of Millennium Break. To

1:30

expose the worst crimes of the bilateral

1:32

intercession on Palisade. Bring

1:37

the Prince of Palisade on Palisade to justice. I

1:43

want to rule stuff, guys. My

4:50

time this goes out? It's safe to be.

4:52

Should be. Yes, it is. Unless

4:54

you're talking about something real different. No, I'm

4:56

talking about the merch that will be

4:58

in the store by the time you hear this

5:01

at friendsathetable.shop. I gotta write this question, but

5:03

otherwise I think we're all good to go, right? Yeah,

5:05

frankly, it's probably old news by the time you're hearing

5:07

this. No, no. It's

5:10

never old news. All your old friends

5:12

already have it. They're wearing it,

5:14

they've been wearing it. They've been wondering where

5:16

you are. Hey, you fucking nerd. Go to

5:18

friendsathetable.shop. Wow. Let's see if I

5:20

can do this. I'm gonna try

5:23

this out. Friendsathetable.shop.

5:27

Live edit. That

5:30

worked. Well

5:33

5:35

5:54

I don't know why Dad won a run So

5:57

that YouTube Dom thing wasn't a... No,

6:01

I heard it too Janine. I

6:04

heard you hear it still there. I was like

6:07

hmm. Also

6:09

listen to media club plus. Not or

6:11

else. That's fine. People aren't

6:13

doing that so I don't have to remain.

6:15

Well people have been doing it so it's

6:18

not as urgent. Hey you fucking nerd! You're

6:20

not listening to media club press? Be

6:23

still, I can't even talk right. I don't even

6:25

doubt you're a nerd. This

6:27

is what you're doing to drive by not listening

6:29

to media. I'm right. The

6:32

art. To

6:35

edit that out or we're going to get burned on

6:38

that part of the media club plus everywhere.

6:41

This is a disaster. Oh

6:44

how is the episode this big but with

6:46

the real media club plus? Why

6:53

did you name it art club

6:55

at that point? Oh

6:58

my god. Janine

7:01

Hawkins is here. You don't want to do over on that?

7:03

You don't want to? No, no. Keep it.

7:10

Janine. I'm at Bleeping Heart

7:13

7:16

been doing some streams. We've

7:19

been playing since Stardust Alley as Ally said. I also

7:22

did a stream of a game called Life

7:24

Makeover where some things happen. That's

7:26

the one with the haters. You could call it a

7:28

life makeover. Oh yeah. Yeah.

7:31

Again, I was like maybe they won't say

7:34

haters as much in the back half of this. They

7:37

say it more. They say it like every. So

7:39

haters beware. I'm hearing

7:43

for a scare. I don't know where they're. You're

7:46

in for a scare. I was trying to find a

7:48

room for some sort of fake fumble

7:52

about the things I do.

7:54

Like Stardust. No, you

7:56

can't fake it. You can't. You

7:59

can't. You can't. It's sad, it's sad really.

find out what happens. We should go over

10:38

our kingdom. And our characters

10:41

before we delve into our first

10:43

scene or kingdoms name is Palisade.

10:45

It has the following scores: Arizona

11:34

or ah, doubt revolutionary potential.

11:36

The Delegates system disparate technologies.

11:38

And basketball Bob for our as

11:40

Sylvia of the What I mentioned

11:43

yesterday in our internal chat appropriately

11:45

timed for the Empire Offs singalong

11:48

being wrong. That's right, The

11:50

terms of idioms that we have written

11:52

down here are divine. Do you

11:55

have it? By. last the

11:57

cause and the or derives are gone I

11:59

think I've already forgotten what it means, but

12:01

I thought it was funny last time. Tisby,

12:06

tell me your name and pronouns, your role,

12:09

your drive, your recent

12:12

luck. Read

12:15

me everything on your sheet, honestly. Let's just go through it. Yeah,

12:18

all right. I'm

12:20

Tisby. I'm she-her. I'm the messenger.

12:22

I'm messenger. I don't know how

12:24

Questlandia. It's not a dungeon world,

12:26

so it's maybe just a messenger.

12:30

Drive is change, comma, progress.

12:32

My recent, recent luck.

12:36

What is going on today? So

12:39

what people don't know is that actually

12:41

everyone in their ear phones right now

12:43

has one of those speech scramblers playing.

12:45

We thought it would keep us on our

12:47

toes. Yeah, this morning I poured

12:49

myself a glass of water and then my hand

12:51

slipped and I dumped the entire glass of water over

12:54

my kitchen counter. So I think there's something

12:57

in the air.

13:01

Recent luck is good in a

13:03

bewildering way. Strange

13:05

luck, you know. Personality,

13:08

gentle and powerful. Those are

13:10

not opposites. I will fight you if

13:13

you think they are opposites. Weakness,

13:16

cheat, break the rules, re-roll

13:18

any of your own dice.

13:22

Appearance, you know. Relationship,

13:26

Corey. Corey has been poisoned by conflict,

13:28

but she is not beyond saving. Brine.

13:32

Brine has been my anchor and that

13:34

is exhausted. Goal,

13:37

mend the scattered shards of divinity. The

13:41

obstacles are some divines and their

13:43

shards are antagonistic, evil or dangerous.

13:46

And Sizbe is an outsider. Why should she be

13:48

the one to do this? And

13:51

at the very bottom of your sheets, I'm

13:53

never going to go over this too. I

13:55

am in control of its spookier. You

13:58

are in control of its spookier. Alright,

14:01

let's go to the right. Hey,

14:04

that's me, right? Mm-hmm.

14:06

Okay. I'm playing Levitation

14:08

Cascabel Gardner. His

14:10

role is the Scout. My drives

14:13

are adventure and wanderlust.

14:17

My recent look is just

14:19

so lucky, bro. I'm here. I'm

14:22

living the dream. My personality traits

14:24

are Daredevil and Ambitious. My

14:27

weakness is Flea, which allows me to

14:29

escape in body or spirit. My

14:32

relationships are August Righteousness.

14:35

And my thoughts on... Is August... them?

14:38

He they. He they. Okay.

14:41

My thoughts on them are now this is

14:43

what a hero looks like. And

14:46

my other relationship with eclectic, which is

14:48

exhausted, is eclectic seems cool enough, but

14:50

he's kind of boring. My

14:54

goal is to be a force for

14:56

good, acknowledged across the galaxy. And the

14:58

obstacles in front of that are death

15:00

is a constant real threat. I

15:02

guess we just leave it as death. Death is an

15:05

obstacle. Yeah, death is an obstacle. And

15:07

then other people are already the hero here.

15:11

The feature

15:14

that I have assigned or picked

15:16

are the afflictions. Over

15:18

to the right. Yeah,

15:21

I'm playing Calvin Bryan. They

15:24

them. My roles are hero,

15:27

inventor, warrior. My drives

15:29

are change, progress, guilt, panic.

15:32

My race of luck is extremely.

15:34

My personality is Daredevil and bumbling.

15:37

My weakness is lash out, lose control,

15:39

make them hurt. My

15:42

goal is to connect the

15:44

wider network of Millennium Break.

15:47

Connect to the wider network of Millennium Break. My

15:50

obstacles are that the Twilight Mirage

15:52

is impenetrable and that Calvin Bryan is

15:54

impenetrable. Calvin

16:00

blind, Calvin blind With

16:08

fizz be My

16:11

relationship to this means that we're old friends that

16:13

is exhausted I also have eclectic

16:15

eclectic is a new crew member if you

16:18

want more context with this go listen to phallus

16:20

aid and Part

16:26

of it and then the thing that I

16:28

have control over is health and spirit health

16:31

and spirit love it ah All

16:34

right Jack I

16:37

am playing August righteousness August pronouns

16:39

are he they my

16:41

role is rebel leader Cook

16:44

my drive is change and progress

16:46

my recent luck is lucky My

16:49

personality is ambitious and cynical

16:52

my weakness is menace intimidate for

16:54

threaten Which lets me win all

16:56

ties from one to five because

16:58

usually ties Sort

17:01

of nothing happens My

17:04

relationships are with Levitation

17:07

my relation there is a skilled soldier with

17:09

a bridge to the Mirage But he's late

17:12

to a long war and I'm not easily

17:14

impressed And

17:16

then with Clementine the

17:18

relationship is the relationship with

17:20

levitation is exhausted and

17:22

then with Clementine The relationship is

17:25

a violent unpredictable dog, so

17:27

it's paying off tonight, but what about

17:29

tomorrow morning? My goal

17:31

is bring the principality on

17:33

Palisades to justice and the

17:35

obstacles there are compromised leadership

17:38

And it will be hard to actually capture

17:40

them. They are slippery Someone's

17:42

added the sweat emoji here. I don't know

17:44

who did that don't know who did that

17:46

and I'm

17:48

gonna fucking get those war criminals. Huh?

17:51

What's the aspect of the kingdom that

17:53

you are in control over that you

17:55

are I'm in control of in the

17:57

Mirage? Let's

18:01

just go down here. Let's like clockwise.

18:03

Let's go clockwise. Okay,

18:06

I was like, oh, I'm gonna go to the last. This

18:08

is great. Nope. So I'm

18:10

playing Koryo the Sunset, pronouns. She,

18:12

her, role, obviously, hero. My

18:15

drive is love and loyalty. My recent luck,

18:17

I just put lucky and a smiley face

18:19

because I pulled a card and it said

18:21

it's been pretty good. Personality,

18:24

Daredevil and protective. My weakness is lash

18:27

out, lose control, make them hurt, reroll

18:29

any of the opposition's dice. My

18:32

relationships, first is with the witch in

18:34

glass, which is just, all

18:37

I wrote is hate, hate, hate. And

18:39

then Fizzbee, my relationship is exhausted. Fizzbee

18:42

always looks out for me. Is the

18:44

relationship there? We do goal

18:46

and obstacles. Right, we do everything. My

18:50

goal is my bloodied hands must break the

18:52

wheel. Obstacles are, how do you break the

18:55

wheel from this place of relative peace? And

18:57

Kory's only skill is violence. Do you even

18:59

know how to build something? I

19:02

didn't say I'm building a new wheel, though.

19:04

That's true. That's true. That's true. And

19:07

then your facet. Oh, right.

19:10

My facet is war and conflict because all

19:12

I know is violence. All you know is

19:14

violence. Yeah, as a reminder, I

19:16

guess thinking about it

19:18

now, let's be conscious of whether or not

19:20

it feels like you end up answering your

19:22

own questions as Kory. For sure. You

19:25

know, because Kory is very war and

19:27

conflict focused. But if

19:30

we do, we'll end up trading out or... I'm

19:32

happy to delegate to let other people. And make

19:34

sure that you have something there, too. But you

19:36

have plenty of other stuff that's not that. So

19:38

we'll see how it goes. Over

19:41

to Keith. Hi.

19:44

I'm playing Eclectic Opposition. Pronounce

19:47

he-him. My role is

19:49

detective. My drive is adventure,

19:52

wanderlust, recent luck, unlucky.

19:57

Personality is dramatic and

19:59

jovial. weakness

20:01

is cheat. Relationships

20:04

with levy. New

20:07

recruit is enthusiastic but for what? That is

20:09

exhausted. And with Brine, I came to Palisade

20:11

with a short list of who to trust

20:13

and Brine was on it. My

20:16

goal is to expose the worst crimes

20:18

of the bilateral intercession on Palisade and

20:21

the obstacles are doubt runs rampant, people

20:23

are closed off, is this

20:25

the best use of your time? And the

20:28

bilats are covering their misdeeds,

20:30

covering up their misdeeds. And

20:33

your facet. Facet.

20:35

Oh, is revolutionary potential. There

20:37

we go. And

20:39

art. Last but

20:41

maybe least in very particular

20:44

ways your character, not you

20:46

though. Thank you. That would

20:48

be just a real bad start to that.

20:56

I'm playing Clementine, Clementine's pronouns are

20:58

she, her, Clementine's

21:01

role is outcast. And

21:06

Clementine's drives our love and loyalty. Can

21:08

you tell us that love, I

21:12

feel like I missed why you chose love in

21:14

the last recording. Um,

21:18

self love is a kind of love. Yeah.

21:21

Yeah. Fair enough. For admiration. That's

21:23

really what she's looking for, right?

21:26

Yeah. The love that the queen has. Yeah.

21:28

Yeah. The sort of love that causes your

21:30

whole culture like shut down for a week

21:33

if you if you die and everyone mourns

21:35

in public. Yeah. Looking

21:38

at the looking at Royal Funeral's like

21:40

goals. Recent

21:46

luck. Lucky. Personality

21:48

dramatic and notorious. I feel

21:50

like these were written for Clem.

21:53

Weakness is lashing out. Relations

21:56

with August is I Won't be

21:58

betrayed this time. Cory

22:00

Nobody touches my stuff. And.

22:04

That religion is exhausted. Our common has

22:06

goal is I want to rule stealth

22:08

cash. Just. As ever was.

22:11

And. The Oscars are still caches out

22:13

there and you were exiled anyway.

22:15

And has no skills and incapable

22:18

of learning new one So right

22:20

we cooked with some of these.

22:23

Adam Sandler, Doubt.

22:26

Ah good. Interesting.

22:29

You have that meaning that Klum does

22:31

what what own ask me questions about

22:33

Doubt? Clem doesn't doubt anything ever. Ah,

22:37

alright it is for hims to

22:39

begin playing the game. We've been

22:41

playing the game writing. Those of

22:43

you need evidence that making characters

22:45

is playing the game, just go

22:47

listen to all the obstacles we

22:49

wrote for every character that's playing

22:51

the game as far as I'm

22:53

concerned. Ah, however, role playing and.

22:55

Landa on page forty Four begins

22:57

by saying Crystal and he has

22:59

three chapters that follow your characters

23:01

as they pursue their goals your

23:04

character or three times before the

23:06

demons with an epilogue. During. Your

23:08

turn. Your in the spotlight. you'll play

23:10

other seen that central on your character. Of.

23:13

Begins with some role playing games with

23:15

resolution. Every one else will play of

23:17

the opposition, describing the world, introducing out

23:19

of conflicts and role playing of people

23:21

that show up in the scene. I'm

23:23

I'll let the most were not to

23:25

skip over two paragraphs here as they

23:27

say things like you can talk in

23:29

or out of character as we have

23:31

established bad as things we do all

23:33

the time. Let's I'm most excited Player

23:35

take the first turn with their character

23:37

in the spotlight. After that the turn

23:39

continues in. Clockwise. Order

23:42

sort of the order we just went in

23:44

or say like seat clockwise. Who

23:47

is most excited? Who.

23:49

For instance, may be has a

23:51

scene goal in mind. i

23:55

will write your excitement from one to

23:57

ten What's

24:00

your excitement or character excitement? Personal.

24:02

It's personal excitement, right? Six. Is

24:04

ten high excitement or one like

24:07

number one excited? Ten is

24:09

high. Now

24:12

I'm excited. I'm like a seven or eight on

24:14

excited. Now if you asked me to rate what

24:16

if I have an idea of a scene I'm

24:21

saying one way of checking would be that

24:23

but Let the most excited

24:25

player take the first turn with their character in the spotlight

24:28

I have a I have a scene in mind, but I don't

24:30

feel particularly excited My

24:33

god Thank

24:35

you go. I'm just saying people haven't said any

24:37

number Okay

24:42

During your turn in the spotlight your

24:44

character will try to take a significant

24:46

step towards accomplishing their goal Your

24:49

goal of course again is to

24:51

connect to the wider network of blending

24:53

and break The small bet

24:55

in order that step towards that goal

24:57

is called a scene goal Your scene

25:00

goal should always be risky or uncertain

25:02

imagine. You've already accomplished the easy parts

25:05

They give an example here of a bad scene goal.

25:07

Like I want to let the guard captain know my

25:10

name That's not exciting enough Their

25:12

suggestion for that is like it should be

25:14

like make make sure that the guard

25:17

captain hires you on the spot or defame him

25:19

And steal his job Something

25:21

like I want to research the ancient technology in

25:24

the Imperial Library is too safe Your

25:26

goal should be I want to uncover

25:28

secret information in the Forbidden Archives, right?

25:32

So so big dramatic things for those

25:34

of you who've been playing realis This

25:37

is me saying it should be a dramatic intent. This

25:40

should be a big Interesting dramatic

25:42

thing. It shouldn't be the same

25:45

thing as your main Goal,

25:47

right? So your goal for this scene should not be

25:49

connected to the wider network of money break So

25:55

So figure out what your single is and then tell

25:57

the other players what it is and then set up

25:59

three. Answer three questions: Where are you?

26:01

What are you doing? Who are you

26:03

with? It is a good idea to

26:05

include at least one of your characters

26:07

on exhausted relationships as the book because

26:09

if they're they're they're going to be

26:11

bonus dice when it's time to do

26:13

they stuff. And

26:15

okay so I'm literally realise there may

26:18

be taken out the back. But I

26:20

did wanted to try to reach out

26:22

to refrain. Oh interesting.

26:24

So I'm profiling one of the

26:27

afflictions, one of the affections yeah,

26:29

which is the one that I've

26:31

had the the bond with through.

26:33

wow around the yeah, I'm. I

26:35

cause I have sounds like let me

26:37

see, is there any of the sixes

26:40

that. Seem like communicate He.

26:44

And I think to frame is sort of the

26:46

of the five. One. Of the most their don't

26:48

like others. When lit. Up,

26:51

you know, Yeah, as a reminder,

26:54

that plane is the one that you've met

26:56

first on the Isle of the Broken Key.

26:59

Or they are the sort of. Youth

27:02

you met them at first as a theater,

27:04

a theater that emerged in on on like

27:06

in a strange place. He

27:09

walked, you felt you saw, pulled

27:11

into the theater and they're inside.

27:13

You saw someone who was a

27:16

member of the same species as

27:18

our dearly departed Valence. I'm a

27:20

Nobel I'm and they were a

27:23

sort of digital ghost com And

27:25

what you learned was this affliction

27:28

is sort of like a corruption

27:30

of a Am are defined the

27:32

divine antiquity that was sort of

27:35

like an Arc, a living archive

27:37

of people's memories. So

27:39

cool. Weird theater affliction that can

27:41

summon up the ghosts of or

27:44

people from the Toilet Mirage era

27:46

but with not actually in the

27:48

Toilet Mirage until I guess now

27:51

Ray was was all part of

27:53

the palisade from me know group

27:56

not part of the original try

27:58

Mirage group cel Wow. That had been

28:00

part of the divine sleep before that. So yeah the

28:02

hill, what were the five course, the

28:05

line so say I was like overseen.

28:08

We. Pray as idol have been open right

28:10

now, I think there might be some overlap

28:12

and what we want to do. In

28:15

some ways that maybe not goals, but. And.

28:17

Panel we have dust right which

28:20

is the decide Divine Flex some.

28:22

Of. Them that was like was

28:25

big mummy.big duff mummy of

28:27

a and will allow a

28:29

mummy death homes ah dust

28:31

refrain which was antiquity oval.

28:34

Ah rafol, which was logic.

28:38

Clean. I don't know that

28:40

you've ever met. Rabble. Rabble is the

28:42

one on the map bar and of

28:45

your resume on the map of the

28:47

top left the one that's a big

28:49

weird like neuron walking weird creature within

28:51

a matter of a loose. Brain neurons

28:54

prowling the hills and valleys. you

28:56

could say. Yes, close

28:58

to that on our.

29:01

Palace. I know three today is a

29:03

Monday. Thank you! Yeah, they are not not

29:05

ready for my notes on that one of

29:07

the Via ah. Cleave which

29:10

is decisiveness, balance. Back

29:12

and Cleave was. The

29:15

was cleave the big dragon knife

29:17

than life dragon. Whatever. Man

29:19

who was there are no different in the minimum.

29:22

Is Johan looks like quote is a

29:24

dragon was made of knives. The.

29:28

Palace. That I went into the role Part one. Who

29:31

has the invisible. Triceratops that that were

29:33

see oversight Yeah which is what

29:35

was once it does. Wait no

29:37

no no no The Triceratops ours

29:40

is is. Ravel. Because.

29:43

It's the throwing out rather non

29:45

binary, larger, non binary. Was afraid

29:48

of course of course of course

29:50

of a who'd never cipher. The.

29:52

It's a system of logic that have a

29:54

third thing besides true and false. You know,

29:56

normal stuff. and the last one is

29:59

oversight which was wants the design affection, which

30:01

looks like a quote, slowly moving

30:03

statue whose features are always

30:05

fluctuating under a stone shroud.

30:08

Once again, Palisade 03, today is

30:10

a Monday. We've not encountered that

30:12

one in play in any way, in fact. That's

30:16

the one on the top. They seem nice. Yeah,

30:18

they seem cool. I'm specifically thinking there of, you

30:20

know when you see those sculptures that are like,

30:23

it's like a sculpture of someone wearing

30:25

a shroud over their face, but the

30:27

sculpture really captures the cloth-like nature of

30:30

the fighting made of stone. Yeah,

30:32

exactly. It's bad, except the stone

30:34

changes and takes on different faces and stuff. And

30:37

also it was a big divine sized thing,

30:40

right? So

30:42

yeah, it was once the divine affection. So

30:45

those are the afflictions. And I say that partly because

30:47

I'm not in control of them. They're

30:49

not mine right now. So someone

30:52

has a affliction. Me, I do. Great, there we

30:54

go. I'm glad we have this page, because my

30:56

ADHD medicine is out of stock. So this will

30:58

be very helpful. Oh, God. Absolutely.

31:02

Yeah, I was going off of the five

31:04

afflictions thing that we've been putting in the

31:06

last years. So it sounds

31:08

like antiquity is probably still

31:11

on theme. Yeah,

31:14

it's really different. And it's a way to know. Maybe

31:16

affection could be in there too, but also

31:18

refrain is probably the one I would be like, hey man, come

31:21

help me out. What

31:24

is the theme? Where are you? What are you

31:26

doing? Who's with you? So

31:29

I think that I'm somewhere in,

31:33

on the fields of Palisade somewhere.

31:36

We last saw them at

31:38

the Isle of the Broken Key, but I wonder if-

31:41

You didn't. You saw them wave at

31:43

you. You

31:45

went to do the sun

31:49

stuff, the solar combustor.

31:52

They walk and you go basically from

31:55

below. I think at the time they

31:57

were in, the Shale Bell, near

32:00

the Temple of the Threshold or something. But I think

32:02

we were- Yeah, I just wanna be in the fields.

32:05

Yeah, Bonner Valley somewhere, maybe. Yeah, going

32:07

through making the trek, the

32:09

camping trip to go find

32:11

a monster. That's

32:14

kinda fun, moving through fields and even

32:16

maybe some woods because there's a report

32:18

of the creepy theater. Someone reported it

32:21

in as being a few miles away,

32:23

but you have to walk there

32:26

for some reason. It's awesome, you can approach by

32:28

ship for some reason. Yeah,

32:30

this is a little montage of a little two

32:33

things. And I think, who am I with? I

32:35

guess if it feels thematically appropriate and

32:37

you wanna be on this journey, there's be you

32:39

can come here too. But

32:41

I don't wanna link the scenes if you

32:43

don't want to. Yeah, well,

32:45

I mean, sounds like linking this.

32:48

I can just be there, right? That's the same? Yeah,

32:51

come on in. Yeah, you still have your own scene to

32:53

be clear later. I

32:55

would take a collective, if you're

32:57

interested in some mysteries. Sure,

33:00

I like a mystery. And then maybe,

33:02

I want like a droid.

33:04

I could have a princess, I just have to say droid. What

33:07

a droid. We're

33:10

like a year late on

33:12

you getting a droid. It's a lot of

33:14

toys. I mean, before

33:16

that you even had droids. You had the little lunch

33:19

boxers. Yeah, I had the big 32. Oh,

33:21

big 32. I still have

33:24

the plant one. Underserved of the season.

33:26

We really did run by being 32.

33:28

Big 32 is for

33:31

the people though. Remember how big 32 is for the people? Well,

33:33

big 32 is always for the people. Why?

33:36

You like mass produce big 32. Big

33:38

32 is all through millennium

33:41

break. I just wanna put this

33:43

idea into the universe of a bunch

33:45

of asepsis, little asepsis drones carpooling in

33:47

a big 32. That's right.

33:49

With a top up like it's a

33:52

convertible. When you say

33:54

big 32 is for the people, you mean that

33:56

like how stuff at sharper images about

33:58

quality power I mean that

34:00

big party too is open source. Oh,

34:03

I'm sorry Keith. Who

34:05

shops in Shabburimik? Um,

34:08

dads? But

34:10

like in a broader sense, I

34:12

guess they count as people. Yeah!

34:16

I don't know. What

34:18

is the question? What is your scene goal? Oh,

34:24

my, my, well... I

34:26

forget speaking to them. Well,

34:29

that's bigger than that. Yeah,

34:32

um, I would

34:34

like to recruit, refrain to Millennium Break. Ooh,

34:38

that's good. That's good. That's

34:40

like all the whole thing is a mudsucking go. It's

34:45

so funny that your, that Brian's

34:47

like broad goal is connect

34:49

to the wider network of Millennium Break. And

34:51

step one is I would like to bring

34:54

in a hyper-local corrupted divine. Yeah!

34:56

Who could talk to people? I

35:00

just want to highlight what happened when

35:02

I brought a slightly

35:04

spacey rent a cop to the... People

35:07

freaked out. Well,

35:09

we also didn't know who you were. I had just been

35:11

on TV. I just

35:13

got made for the first time in five

35:15

years. Brian also

35:17

didn't you specifically have like a

35:19

bond or whatever with refrain? We

35:22

did, yeah. Yeah, this is like a friend.

35:24

This is like you trying to bring the cop

35:26

in now, which would be fine because... I

35:29

want to understand that. I'm just

35:31

saying some of us are making

35:33

natural connections out there and some of us are like,

35:35

what if we got the monsters? What

35:37

if we got the monsters? Some of us feel about

35:39

the way you feel about... First

35:42

of all, this is a ship of monsters too. I

35:45

think many of the members of the Blue Channel feel

35:47

about cops the way you, Keith, feel about the vines.

35:50

Which is, there's no... No, look, I get

35:53

it. I'm just putting up parallels, not... You

35:55

also are kind of a monster. I'm

35:59

just poking holes. You know? They're

36:01

called the afflictions. Yeah, who

36:03

knows? But

36:05

what's a corrupted divine to a shattered divine?

36:09

Well, I'm just I'm just saying all I'm

36:11

saying is this is like a riddle. A

36:13

bunch of people had, you know, you

36:16

know, socially

36:18

motivated reactions to the shitty

36:20

cop who showed up. We

36:23

also need to take into account the

36:25

social motivation behind the fucking afflictions to

36:28

the next evil leader. We're also going to the monster.

36:30

We're not bringing the monster to us. Well, one of

36:32

us is going to the monster. No, that's not true.

36:34

There's a group of people. Three of us are going.

36:36

Uh-huh. Including you apparently.

36:38

Are you going? Yeah, I'm going.

36:42

Do you want to add? Add a

36:44

few more. Do you want

36:46

to rescind that invitation? No, do you?

36:48

Or the rest of your scene. We can have his opinions eclectic.

36:51

We'll have different opinions. You know, this is

36:53

the small talk on the way. Your director is

36:55

seeing your job to describe what your character thinks,

36:58

feels and does in pursuit of your scene goal.

37:00

The others at the table describe the world roleplay

37:02

as their characters, other characters and throw obstacles in

37:04

your way. Your scene isn't a runaway train. At

37:06

any point, you can talk on a player to

37:09

player level about the type of scene you want

37:11

or the direction it's taking. Obviously, we can always,

37:13

you know, say, hey, I don't like where this

37:15

is going. Let's let's take this from the top

37:17

or hey, I don't want this to be in

37:19

the scene, etc. And

37:21

then, Ali, you are in control of when your scene

37:24

starts to wrap up. The final part of your scene

37:26

is called resolution. The resolution involves rolling dice to discover

37:28

the outcomes of your scene. You'll often

37:30

end up calling for resolution during difficult or risky

37:32

situations where you would like to be surprised by

37:34

what comes next. The details of how resolution work

37:37

will be described on page 52. For

37:40

those of us playing the opposition, I'm not going to

37:42

read this whole section, but the kind of highlights of

37:44

what we should be doing. We should

37:46

be asking questions. So things like

37:48

what do you have packed for this trip? Or what are you going

37:51

to try to do next? Or how do you feel? We

37:53

should be role playing as other characters. And then

37:55

obviously, especially for those who work directly in the

37:57

scene as other characters. We

38:00

should investigate the setting. You can

38:02

ask questions about the world or

38:04

scene goals and conflicts. Anyone

38:07

can answer questions about the setting including

38:09

the spotlight player and this is a

38:11

great place where the owned facets, the

38:13

people who owned facets can chime in about

38:15

what their facets are. As a reminder if

38:17

someone asks a question about a facet that

38:20

hasn't been picked up yet, someone should pick

38:22

up that facet and we'll add it to

38:24

your list of facets. Then

38:26

we can bring in obstacles. The spotlight player has

38:28

some obstacles in the way of their goal. You

38:30

can always ask for a reminder about what those are.

38:32

Ally, what are your two obstacles again? The

38:35

Twilight Mirage is impenetrable and

38:37

Kelvin Bryan is impenetrable. There we go.

38:41

Remember the opposition's job is to support the

38:43

spotlight player in the story at large. Bringing

38:45

conflict and obstacles is part of that but

38:47

you don't have to oppose everything the spotlight

38:49

player attempts and then we

38:51

should collaborate on a player level. We should

38:53

say hey would it be okay if we

38:55

just had like a combo between the R2

38:57

characters or hey, do you think it's time

38:59

for resolution, etc. There's

39:01

some opposition etiquette here, which hopefully people

39:03

had a chance to read. Keep the

39:05

character, keep the spotlight character in the

39:07

spotlight, respect the spotlight characters, agency. Those

39:10

are the two big ones. Those are the two

39:13

big ones. Then we'll get to actual dice resolution

39:15

when Ally you decide it's time for resolution. So

39:18

you're walking towards towards, do

39:20

we want to actually come in at

39:22

UC the theater in the distance? Yeah,

39:24

that seems good. Yeah. Dre,

39:28

is the theater marked in any way? Is

39:31

there anything special about theater today? About refraining

39:33

a cool theater? I'm

39:35

trying to remember what is like the when

39:38

we last saw the mirror what

39:40

was going on in the theater and

39:42

everything. I don't think we saw, I

39:44

don't remember there being anything special. I

39:47

think it was just a gas person. Yeah,

39:50

the person who was there the first time that

39:52

Brian went there and theoretically it

39:54

should be someone different. It shouldn't be Lattice

39:56

again. Lattice being another member of the Nobel.

40:00

That's at least historically who has gone,

40:02

right? The theater

40:04

shows a new person because it's pulling

40:06

from its sort of archive of people.

40:09

But maybe that's not the case this time. You all get to

40:11

tell me. Do

40:14

we have an answer? Have we

40:16

talked about, has anything

40:18

happened to the afflictions now that we're in

40:20

the Twilight Mirage? Great question. Yeah,

40:22

that's what I was wondering too. Well, great.

40:25

Has anything happened? It could go to

40:27

spookier also. Yeah, it could have. It

40:29

could also go to... Circa. Circa. Does

40:32

anybody have... And it can also go to in

40:34

the Mirage. So I'd say Jack, Dre, and Janine.

40:36

You all have parts of

40:38

the answers to that question if anything's happened

40:40

with the afflictions. I mean, actually, before

40:43

that even, they became more active. That

40:45

was a thing that we set up

40:47

in the last pre-finale episode was like,

40:51

they begin roaming the hills

40:53

in a more... I'm sorry, what was it, the Rome? Huh?

40:57

It was like terrors. Oh,

41:00

horrors walk the streets. Horrors walk

41:02

the streets. Oh, yeah. But

41:05

they begin to like, they're out

41:07

and about in a more aggressive way, was the last

41:09

thing that we saw. But I don't...

41:11

In terms of that bigger question of have

41:13

they changed or something changed, that is, I'd

41:15

say afflictions, it's spookier and in the Mirage

41:17

are all things that could weigh in there.

41:20

I have a suggestion for

41:23

how it could be spookier and more Mirage-y

41:25

and it kind of touches on everything. But

41:30

my thinking is that with this, with

41:34

Refrain in particular, being

41:36

back in the Mirage is

41:39

probably special in a different way

41:41

because their whole thing is reflecting people

41:44

who were in the Mirage, right? They

41:46

were not in the Mirage, they were in

41:48

the Divine Fleet before the Mirage. It was

41:50

a really high level reminder of a core

41:52

Palisade thing. The Palisade was

41:54

like plan B, right? When

41:57

things were going really bad in the group called

41:59

the Divine Fleet. fleet when

42:01

they were being attacked and cut down severely

42:04

by a group called the New Earth Gemini who

42:07

were hunting them down. Two

42:10

big ideas came up. One of them

42:12

became the Twilight Mirage which was this

42:14

false nebula that members of the fleet

42:16

hid in. The other idea was let's

42:18

go build a planet of our own

42:20

that we could live on and that

42:22

was Palisade. Palisade was a divine who

42:24

became a planet and on

42:26

that being on that planet were

42:28

a number of other Divines including

42:30

the ones who are now the

42:32

afflictions and potentially, excuse me, also

42:35

some of the ones who would go

42:37

on to become the Divines that were

42:39

carved up for the delegates. Some of

42:41

those also come

42:43

from from the

42:45

divine principality at the early days. So

42:48

yeah. But you're right, Jeanine, in the sense

42:50

that they are

42:53

people who still have connections to the

42:55

predecessor of the Twilight Mirage.

42:58

My thought was what

43:00

if it was like not

43:02

a movie set but like one of those fake towns

43:05

that you would shoot a movie in where

43:07

it looks super real but all the buildings

43:09

are hollow and there's like people walking around.

43:12

Yeah, I like this. Like Blazing Saddles. I

43:15

think also there is like a sort of curiosity about

43:18

the proximity to the Mirage now where, you know,

43:37

I could sort of imagine the afflictions that

43:40

are flight capable which might be one or

43:42

two of them, sort of

43:44

like pouring up into a

43:46

low planet orbit to sort of like

43:48

make contact with, you know, it's not

43:51

like the mirages outside the atmosphere, it's

43:53

everywhere but sort of to

43:55

dip their toes into the pond

43:58

and the Mirage, the sort of the The nebula.

44:00

The coils of the nebula or

44:02

itself responding in some way of

44:04

the sort of these things that

44:06

that have a sad lineage but

44:08

ah, sort of alternatives to each

44:10

other, sort of making a reaching

44:12

out. And quite knowing

44:14

what to do with that connection. But

44:17

I think that's part of also what you're describing

44:19

about of like them or active now and it's

44:21

the activity of one cat seeing another cat on

44:23

the other side of a family of an Epa

44:25

screen door. And served on. A

44:29

Kappa. Yeah, my

44:31

two thoughts on what could be

44:34

different with refrain Specifically in The

44:36

Mirage. I love the idea of

44:38

it being the cab weird set

44:40

Ghost Town is ah. But.

44:44

One of it's powers was that it could

44:46

cause electronics to break in rust. Over with

44:48

the know that refrain seem to have some

44:50

control over whether this happens, I'm wondering if

44:52

maybe it is lost some of that control.

44:54

Now that's fun. And

44:57

then also that. We.

44:59

Know at this point the ghost

45:01

are people from the divine sleep.

45:04

And I'm wondering if maybe it is starting to

45:06

have ghost from the Twilight Mirage show up. Interesting

45:09

that it's like. Sob.

45:12

Linked into the mess here

45:14

and has like he added

45:16

a new. Records to it's

45:19

old record like in the Michaela in

45:21

a sort of like oh yeah, like

45:23

why just I'm on this why fi

45:25

now and it starts to fall in.

45:28

Like when light of day. yeah a

45:30

when you touch so wet paper towel

45:32

to inc and the in suddenly started

45:34

bleeding into the the paper towel. And

45:37

that's really fun! A.

45:39

Threat. So. Yeah, I guess

45:41

that's what users your see and is.

45:43

is this, you know? Weird said a

45:45

facade, buildings and stuff and and I

45:48

mean simply the fact that there is

45:50

more than one. They're always more than

45:52

one ghosts inside of the theater, but

45:54

they tended to be like a group

45:56

looking at the stage. and men, the

45:58

stage, you know, the one on the

46:01

stage. Speaking if if this is now

46:03

like a whole haunted town, that's even

46:05

more interesting. So. Hey. Pets.

46:08

Maker Seven. I do

46:10

remember Acre, several. Whether. They can

46:12

make what if it learned. About like acre seven, Five.

46:14

And one thing I do I. Implore.

46:17

You. Might remind people in here about yeah

46:20

once a coupe with we can ever am I

46:22

have a family. Or acre seven

46:24

was the. Was. Like

46:27

a person but also the ghost of all

46:29

the people on a planet re we like.

46:32

They had like were know that right a

46:34

planetary allow the as a planet itself had

46:37

identified with one particular person. Sort.

46:39

Of but also had all the. Other people

46:41

and would like. Flicker. Between them. There

46:44

was like a sort of living

46:47

looping gif type. Vibe.

46:49

For yeah, the sun and she was. She

46:52

had been like the lover of

46:54

of potency. the divine potency. And

46:56

maybe maybe that one potency is.

47:00

Excerpted on Height Remember what the for by

47:02

was but she was one of the I'm

47:04

She was one of the beloved. Ivy,

47:07

I want to believe. But. As the idea

47:09

of like. You. Don't have to pick one

47:11

thing. Right, You can swim

47:14

the ad refrain was already doing

47:16

that before, but not the way

47:18

or Seven Acres Several would flip

47:20

between people, the foot between bodily

47:22

forms pretty quickly whereas Refrain was

47:24

almost like tonight's performances by this

47:26

guy. feel a whole and then

47:28

switch over. See ever. If adopt

47:31

some of the the Acre Seven

47:33

fluctuations and fast forward stutter step

47:35

type stuff that be very fun.

47:38

I'm. Yeah I

47:40

or I mean I think of the scene brain

47:42

would be like. Ah,

47:44

I'm. Like

47:47

stabbing people to tulsa them. like

47:49

confuse, obviously. But. Live in a.

47:56

Lot. of questions are you asking them Hey,

48:00

what's up? It's

48:03

a classic Brian

48:05

O'Connor. Hello, Brian.

48:07

What's going on here? How's...you

48:10

know... What's

48:16

all this, though? Brian

48:18

goes up and says, what up, Playboy? That looks cool.

48:24

No, I mean, I think that there... If

48:27

I...to zoom out on what

48:29

Brian's question is, I think it's some

48:31

of the like... How

48:35

do you feel about being in the Twilight Mirage?

48:38

Like, for real? And

48:41

then would pivot into this

48:43

like, well, I'm pretty...you know...

48:46

We gotta work together. We

48:50

need to play this out. I'm

48:53

trying to play... Okay,

48:56

I want to just add to this for some

48:58

flavor. Sizzby, because this...we've

49:01

acknowledged, right, that this is the

49:03

tech crumbling-in-ness...

49:06

Crumbling-nid-ness of refrain has been

49:08

amped up. I

49:11

want to say that Sizzby...there's a gold

49:14

snapping sort of sizzling thing going on

49:16

with Sizzie, where

49:18

it's like kind of trying to rest her,

49:20

but then integrity is zapping it

49:23

away in a fun way. So it's a little

49:25

bit like sizzly energy. I

49:27

don't know. I just wanted to jump into

49:29

the representation of the electronics thing happening. I

49:34

think Sizzby looks around and says,

49:36

I think we should ask

49:38

for the director. Oh,

49:42

yeah. Yeah. Hey, uh...is

49:45

the director around here? Boy,

49:49

I am setting up something that I don't know how I'm going

49:51

to play in character, but I think it's a cool idea. I

49:55

think the conversation with Brian

49:57

and whoever else talks is

49:59

almost... like fuck I haven't

50:01

played either of these games what are the two games where

50:04

it's like you're looking through like

50:07

video clips I think one of her

50:09

story works like video clip yeah it

50:11

like certain key terms or whatever you

50:13

can find like new clips so I

50:15

almost think it's like this right as

50:17

you're asking questions and

50:20

you say like the right keyword or something the

50:23

person you're talking to you they're like their whole

50:25

body almost becomes a slot

50:27

machine and then like a new

50:30

person just kind of pops out

50:32

or the other person was yeah

50:34

I love that that's fun that's

50:36

very acre seven also this works so

50:38

yeah so the last

50:40

the last direct question was like can we

50:42

talk to the director mm-hmm so

50:45

yeah I guess the director probably is like the first

50:47

of those keywords so I don't know who you're talking

50:49

to at first and I don't think we need we

50:51

don't do we necessarily want to try and like no

50:53

we don't like to pay names okay yeah gosh what

50:57

does it look like for a person that turned into

50:59

a whirling slot machine I guess they're ghosts

51:01

it's not like a person there's not like totally

51:03

weird body horror here yeah

51:07

yeah it's probably just a mix of like colors

51:09

and then a completely different person pops up and

51:14

says huh

51:16

you're looking looking for the the head man

51:18

in charge huh yeah

51:21

hi well could

51:25

you uh what's

51:27

your business um

51:30

well my name is Calvin Brian I

51:33

soon as you say Calvin Brian it happens again

51:40

hey I

51:42

believe you had a previous appointment follow-up

51:47

to your previous conversation yes

51:50

yes yes yeah I

51:53

don't believe that there are any necessary developments

51:55

at this time well sure but I would

51:57

like to let us hear lettuce is here

52:00

Oh He was that make

52:02

lattice pop up. I guess Yeah,

52:05

people that you don't know is that like

52:08

supposed to be yeah Yeah,

52:11

I know or is this a Twilight Mirage difference,

52:13

right? Hmm cuz

52:15

that shifted this okay last

52:17

time we saw lattice. That's that's where the

52:19

I guess the Conversation

52:22

didn't go bad right because the whole deal

52:24

is that Refrain

52:26

is not Hostile

52:29

to the cause but it is disinterested

52:32

in the cause because they think that

52:34

like The cause

52:36

won't win right that was kind

52:38

of the vibe. Yeah Okay,

52:40

I remember if I'm remembering right it

52:43

wasn't you know there

52:45

the Brian made us made

52:48

a swing at could we work together

52:50

and And

52:52

you were asked questions about why would you

52:54

how how are you gonna win this time?

52:58

And did not have great answers. Yeah,

53:00

I was doing like a dorky Speech

53:03

to yeah Well,

53:09

yeah, so maybe yes you say

53:11

lattice the you know the

53:14

the thing rolls over and lattice appears

53:18

And they just merely ask What

53:20

has changed since our last conversation? Um, what's

53:25

it we're in the Twilight Mirage Hey,

53:28

by the way, hi Yes,

53:30

you are in the Twilight Mirage You

53:33

could also walk from one shop to another and that

53:35

doesn't change what you have to offer What

53:40

shops what um,

53:43

this is this being elected by the

53:45

way, um, I Well,

53:49

I just I thought It

53:52

would be nice to talk I I'm

53:58

looking at Like

54:00

we came all the way here because you thought

54:02

it would be nice to talk Okay,

54:19

you can't argue with results Brian

54:30

the Ben Simmons of the no No,

54:35

Brian actually takes shots. Yeah. No, that's

54:37

true Brian

54:42

is not on the floor results of

54:44

Ben Simmons, but like spiritually This

54:47

is brutal. I say this is someone

54:49

who loves Ben Simmons. We kept why

54:51

do you love them? We have to keep yeah, we gotta keep

54:54

moving. Okay? Um Yes,

54:56

okay lattice is Justinoid

54:59

I remember this is why our previous

55:01

conversation was not very fruitful I'm

55:05

sorry. I just thought the

55:07

transition might be have been weird

55:10

for the afflictions and I

55:16

Things up things are worse things

55:18

are worse so to speak, but if that doesn't mean

55:21

they're not different We're

55:23

like disconnected We're

55:25

like stuck we like we like

55:27

the time as as is our

55:29

opposition There's be

55:31

ads in helpfully Yes,

55:33

the opposition is weaker Which

55:37

is bigger than that. This isn't just fighting.

55:39

This is this is this is people. This

55:41

is connection This is I have

55:43

to I have to I have to

55:45

talk to the people that I I can't Calvin

55:49

Brian, please stay clearly what it is you wish

55:51

to discuss and what you would like to change

55:55

as The

56:00

representative of Millennium Brake, our

56:04

combined forces off of

56:06

Palisade have been inaccessible

56:14

by the ones that

56:16

are on Palisade. And this isn't

56:18

like where we belong. You know what I mean? I

56:23

guess I don't think that you care, I guess. But

56:25

I just, you know. Yeah,

56:27

I don't think the affliction of referring care is

56:29

about like if they are where they belong or

56:32

not. Um, we're

56:35

not going to be able to leave. Can

56:38

I, you, by this isn't where we belong, you mean

56:40

you don't belong on Palisade? Yeah. Because

56:43

that's also not like universally true.

56:45

I'm from here. A

56:48

bunch of people in part of

56:50

the cause are from here. Well, sure. But I,

56:52

yeah. I'm talking about Millennium

56:54

Brake. But yeah, Brian is a

56:56

dumb person. You think of me wrong.

56:59

No. Hey,

57:01

come on, be nice. I don't want Brian

57:03

ever done anything dumb. I

57:06

want to be clear, I'm not playing the character

57:08

this way because I think, because I or the

57:10

character thinks Calvin and Brian is a dumb person.

57:12

This is me leaning into Calvin, Brian is impenetrable.

57:15

Yeah. Calvin, Brian talks

57:17

in circles sometimes. I

57:21

mean, I think the rub here is again,

57:23

it goes back to it's like, okay, sure.

57:25

That's what the affliction could do for you.

57:27

What can you do for the affliction to

57:30

be worth helping? Have

57:33

you reconsidered our proposition or do you have

57:36

something to offer that would be equally valuable?

57:39

Like of joining the, the, the,

57:42

the offer being give your life

57:44

up and join, refrain. Should

57:48

have caught them a few weeks ago.

57:50

Back down to the old monologue. Yeah,

57:52

the whole thing is not doing this.

57:55

Uh-huh. You

58:00

know, I can't do that. I just

58:02

thought we could work like together. I don't

58:05

know that the war is still gonna happen anymore And

58:10

I bet that that's probably good for you and yours but

58:17

And well, okay, so maybe maybe

58:19

that's the third path right because I think the

58:21

third path then is If

58:24

the war isn't gonna happen anymore What

58:27

happens to the afflictions when the war isn't

58:29

happening anymore? And I guess specifically what happens

58:31

to refrain When the

58:33

war is happening in character. Yeah. Yeah.

58:36

Yeah. Sorry Gosh

58:40

so Brian said I don't think the war

58:42

is happening anymore And

58:45

me okay, maybe this is where Brian Brian

58:47

has more outside knowledge of like the whole

58:49

state of the world maybe and

58:53

so Lattice as

58:55

refrain asked what makes

58:57

you think that But

59:00

um, well, we're in the

59:02

Twilight Mirage now like I

59:04

mean the bilats that are here gonna get stomped out

59:06

or Reconfigured

59:09

or put on

59:11

trial or I don't

59:14

know. I think it's just gonna be all Feeding

59:18

people and making the trains

59:20

work again and Voting

59:22

or something. I don't know. I don't

59:24

know. This is It's

59:28

not that I don't care

59:30

about Palisade, I just think that I

59:34

Meant for something else and I can't

59:36

stay here with you because of that

59:42

There could be like a and pride like

59:44

does the thing that I'm doing with my hands is

59:46

like take like interlock your fingers

59:51

Okay I'm

59:55

gonna say something in character, but Austin I'm prefaced it by

59:57

saying like if you think this is too fucked up of

59:59

a thing for an affliction to say I

1:00:01

would like you to tell me. Too fucked

1:00:03

up for affliction. Yeah. Uh, it

1:00:07

does sound as if they will be so

1:00:09

easily defeated that they will be stomped

1:00:13

out, as you said. And if

1:00:16

you are still unwilling to join us,

1:00:19

perhaps once they are stomped out

1:00:22

they could become useful to us

1:00:24

instead. It's

1:00:27

good actually. Okay. It's simply good. It's good

1:00:29

for the divine, feed me

1:00:32

the bile-latch. Yeah, to say feed me the bile-latch,

1:00:34

I want them for the archive. I

1:00:38

want your new perspective. It's probably more interesting

1:00:40

than the rest of them, but if

1:00:43

I can't have one good one, I'll

1:00:45

take a couple hundred mediocre ones. I'm

1:00:49

sorry, what did you have in mind? Do you

1:00:51

want them to come here and join

1:00:54

you? And to stay here? Yes. Wouldn't

1:00:57

that hurt you? Listen,

1:01:00

I can make you some calls. Hey,

1:01:02

hey, would that hurt me?

1:01:07

I don't know. Like, is the, is the,

1:01:09

that's a good question. What's hurt, you know?

1:01:12

Yeah, that's where I'm also at. Yeah.

1:01:14

Are you a bookshelf? The bookshelf doesn't

1:01:16

care what books it's carrying. Sure.

1:01:18

Or are you a tree and it does matter

1:01:20

what comes to nest in you. And

1:01:24

it would be entering into your

1:01:26

archive. You know,

1:01:31

you felt a great time. I

1:01:34

think, sorry. No, I

1:01:36

think I imagine we were going to say the same thing. You know, as

1:01:39

a, as a affliction, you felt such a great

1:01:41

sense of being wronged. And

1:01:43

it could be that bring me the

1:01:45

bile-latch that I will eat them as

1:01:47

retribution in that sense. But as I

1:01:49

want to see that perspective, right?

1:01:52

Yeah. I mean, maybe that's another

1:01:55

thing. That's not what I would do, but I'm not

1:01:57

an affliction. I'm not a divine God, you know? Yeah.

1:02:00

Maybe ultimately that's the flip that has

1:02:02

switched going from palisade to the twilight

1:02:04

mirage is that This

1:02:07

that refrain used to be more

1:02:10

Specific and would filter out like

1:02:13

Who would be on the bookshelf? And

1:02:16

that filter has just gone away

1:02:19

Which we've seen by the absorption

1:02:21

of some twilight mirage files. Yes.

1:02:23

Yeah That's interesting.

1:02:26

I think it's interesting. I think that it's fucked

1:02:28

up, but I I think that like That's

1:02:30

a fun scary thing for her

1:02:33

refrain to want Uh,

1:02:36

I don't know what the resolution here is. I don't know what

1:02:38

the what's the role here it

1:02:40

is. Uh, Um,

1:02:43

I guess we can Yeah,

1:02:45

I that's yeah, um, but I guess we can

1:02:48

roll and then figure that out

1:02:50

through the dice. Yeah, that makes sense

1:02:53

What's even the offer here because brian

1:02:55

was like hey join millennium break And

1:02:58

stuff and then lattice is like I want to

1:03:01

eat people I think

1:03:03

it's i'll join millennium break if You

1:03:06

let me yeah People

1:03:10

Yum, yum, yum Which uh, you know

1:03:12

brian you can just say no to and

1:03:14

have a counter offer and maybe that would be

1:03:17

the resolution role Yeah, but you know Yeah,

1:03:20

I I yeah, I mean I

1:03:22

don't know Do

1:03:24

I reject the song? I

1:03:29

mean it seems fair enough, right? Um, I

1:03:31

um real asepsis Maybe

1:03:37

even asepsis is like no Yeah, you eat things

1:03:39

but not to keep them you eat them to

1:03:41

destroy them I mean you keep them

1:03:44

in your belly for a little bit I

1:03:46

you should not keep them there long term

1:03:48

though. Yeah, this is what serial killers say.

1:03:50

They say stuff like this They

1:03:52

say I I ate the liver

1:03:55

because I won't wanted them with me

1:03:57

I've seen anable. Yeah, I mean I

1:04:00

feel like if Brian would have an objection

1:04:02

here it would be like this

1:04:04

is the kind of thing that this is

1:04:06

the sort of choice a person should make for themselves. Um.

1:04:11

I mean is that the thing you end up offering? What

1:04:14

do you... Like hey

1:04:16

I'll let you make this offer to more people.

1:04:19

Oh sure yeah. I mean

1:04:22

by I can't speak

1:04:24

for other people I can make some calls

1:04:26

I guess um and we need to figure

1:04:28

it out. Um

1:04:32

I just feel like similarly to the position that

1:04:34

I'm in um you

1:04:38

know you can't you can't separate people

1:04:41

from what I mean you

1:04:43

get it but you you know you should. Listen

1:04:46

Dracula I can't give you people to

1:04:48

eat but I'll ask if they want

1:04:50

to be vampires. I

1:04:53

think it it would

1:04:55

be more hurtful for both parties if you had

1:04:58

people who didn't want to be here you

1:05:00

know. But

1:05:03

that's just something to keep in mind. No

1:05:05

I think that's a good counter offer. I

1:05:08

think that's enough that that brings us to a

1:05:10

roll. Yeah let's get let's hit this roll. So

1:05:12

we draw dice uh actually you

1:05:14

call for resolution now it would be the one who calls

1:05:17

for it. Um and.

1:05:19

Bang your gavel. Yeah bang

1:05:21

your gavel exactly then uh

1:05:23

I'm just double checking if something

1:05:25

else here worth reading okay. Drawing

1:05:28

dice the more dice you roll the more options

1:05:30

you'll have when determining your outcome of your scene.

1:05:33

The opposition starts with three red

1:05:35

dice which are they're I guess

1:05:37

they're I made them black because they're black on

1:05:39

this sheet. So

1:05:41

start with three one two

1:05:43

three then add one

1:05:46

more for each relevant obstacle relevant

1:05:48

burden or kingdom trouble at three

1:05:50

or higher. So

1:05:53

that's I would say one relevant

1:05:56

one is Brian being impenetrable.

1:05:59

There's no burden. Yeah, burdens are a thing

1:06:01

to enter the play and to enter

1:06:03

play. Relevant

1:06:06

Kingdom Trouble. Yeah, we

1:06:08

don't have anything above three. Oh,

1:06:10

yeah, sure, above three, right. And

1:06:13

it doesn't... I don't know that being in the Mirage

1:06:15

is actually an obstacle for

1:06:17

this particular exchange. Right.

1:06:20

It was sort of the reason why we're

1:06:22

here, kind of, but not in that way.

1:06:25

Exactly. The spotlight player starts with two white

1:06:27

dice plus one more for each.

1:06:31

Relevant Mastered Obstacle. None

1:06:33

of those yet. Relevant Boon. I

1:06:35

don't think you have any boons yet. And relevant

1:06:38

Relationship. Which

1:06:40

has to be, I believe, an unexhausted

1:06:42

Relationship, I believe. I'm double

1:06:44

checking. Yes, it

1:06:47

does. It does, okay. Do

1:06:50

we feel like Eclectic was involved

1:06:52

enough to... I

1:06:54

asked what they wanted. That seems

1:06:56

pretty... Yeah. Yeah, I

1:06:59

would take it. Sure. Let's

1:07:01

go for it. All right, then

1:07:03

select them all, right-click them,

1:07:05

and hit Multisided, Random Side. Boom.

1:07:09

Oh, you're doing that, okay. Yeah, I

1:07:11

did. Sorry. I'll just handle the opposition

1:07:13

dice for the sake of it. The

1:07:15

opposition dice automatically select, I believe, the

1:07:17

highest three. Is that correct? People.

1:07:21

And then there's... I will admit that I

1:07:23

do not have my head fully around these

1:07:25

rules, but I can choose... I have

1:07:27

rules... I'll just read the instructions since

1:07:29

the first time we're doing it, and the listener would

1:07:31

love to know how this works, maybe. In

1:07:34

Questlandia, dice outcomes correspond to

1:07:36

story results. Each scene

1:07:39

has multiple outcomes determined by three

1:07:41

dice pairs. The highest

1:07:43

die in each pair determines whether the

1:07:45

outcome is positive or negative. When the

1:07:48

dice are tied, they cancel out, there's

1:07:50

no outcome for that pair. The

1:07:52

opposition always puts three dice

1:07:54

forward. The spotlight player can only ever

1:07:57

put two forward. That means there

1:07:59

will always be one. one Unpaired Opposition die,

1:08:01

so no matter how well you roll,

1:08:03

something will always go wrong. And

1:08:06

there are six kinds of

1:08:08

outcomes, basically. So again, the way this works

1:08:11

is, we rolled a bunch of dice, Allie,

1:08:14

you're going to put your dice

1:08:16

against our dice. So

1:08:19

again, the ones that the opposition puts forward

1:08:21

are 6-5-3, you came up with 6-5-5, right?

1:08:25

You could put the 6 against our 6 to cancel it

1:08:27

out because it would be a tie. And

1:08:30

that would prevent that from being anything, from

1:08:32

resolving in any mechanical way. You

1:08:34

could put your 6 against our

1:08:36

5 or our 3 to get your 6

1:08:39

result because it would have won that. But

1:08:42

then our 6 would get through. Does that

1:08:44

make sense? So

1:08:46

like, again, you have

1:08:48

a 6-5-5, you could cancel out our

1:08:51

6 and our 5 by putting

1:08:53

your 6 against our 6 and

1:08:55

your 5 against our 5. Then

1:08:57

our 3 would go forward.

1:08:59

And the 3 result, which

1:09:01

is, receive a new obstacle,

1:09:03

would trigger. Okay,

1:09:06

okay. Right? Or... Looking

1:09:09

at that, I could either... So receive a

1:09:11

new obstacle is one of the things... Yeah,

1:09:14

I'm going to read their short versions

1:09:16

of it really quick, which is, 1.

1:09:19

Cause dramatic upheavals. 2.

1:09:21

Bring reversals of fortune. 3.

1:09:24

Impact the obstacles between you and your goal.

1:09:27

4. Change your relationship. 5.

1:09:29

Skip small boons or burdens that impact the

1:09:31

future scene. 6.

1:09:33

Are special. 7. Wins bring resounding

1:09:36

success. 8. Losses escalate to

1:09:38

the kingdom's trouble. Okay,

1:09:42

okay, okay, okay. And...

1:09:46

Allie, also, don't forget your weakness, not

1:09:48

your power, your weakness. Because

1:09:53

your lash-out says re-roll any of

1:09:55

the opposition's dice. Yes. But

1:09:57

if you do that, you have to mark... uh

1:10:00

what do you have to mark did what's the

1:10:02

actual thing that you mark unfortunate

1:10:04

misfortune misfortune right yes

1:10:08

fortune fill in for misfortune okay it's

1:10:11

what's saying that you can use

1:10:13

any weaknesses you just get a

1:10:15

bonus for your sort of like

1:10:17

chosen oh okay i

1:10:19

think what i'm going to do is i'm going

1:10:21

to counter the six the six

1:10:23

with my six and then i'm going to

1:10:25

prevent mark misfortune escalator

1:10:27

random trouble and impact the map

1:10:30

which would be very that's big

1:10:32

bad stuff you have blocked a

1:10:34

thing the level of that level

1:10:36

the negative six is doom

1:10:38

the spotlight player marks misfortune then draws a

1:10:40

new trouble from the deck the opposition narrates

1:10:42

the troubled effect on the kingdom and its

1:10:44

impact on the map so you're blocking that

1:10:48

i'm i'm also going to block

1:10:50

the three with my five to

1:10:53

take a negative five and take a

1:10:55

burden and so yeah you take

1:10:58

the negative five which is a

1:11:00

uh to receive a burden

1:11:02

the spotlight player gets a burden the opposition

1:11:04

narrates what this looks like a burden is

1:11:06

something negative and temporary like getting stung by

1:11:09

a swamp bee or picking up an unlucky

1:11:11

penny if any birds are relevant

1:11:13

in a future turn the opposition gains extra

1:11:15

dice for each uh and

1:11:17

the spotlight player crosses the mouse the example that

1:11:19

they give here the merchant pretended he'd been out

1:11:21

haggled giving you the metallic bird with a sigh

1:11:24

secretly he was thrilled to be rid of the thrice

1:11:27

cursed cockatiel it's your burden now

1:11:34

but you're also getting the positive five

1:11:36

right because you've cancelled out the three the

1:11:38

negative three and gotten the positive five because

1:11:41

that wins that fight oh right

1:11:43

because you're not just canceling that's the

1:11:45

thing you've won that round you

1:11:47

know if you're not real it's

1:11:49

versus yeah yeah yeah they only cancel

1:11:51

if it's paired okay only like nothing

1:11:53

happens only if they're paired um

1:11:56

take a boon the spotlight player gets a

1:11:58

boon they narrate with that looks like

1:12:00

a boon is something positive and temporary

1:12:02

like picking up a lucky penny or

1:12:04

gaining sweetest stardom from winning a game

1:12:06

show. Yeah,

1:12:08

but he boons are relevant to a future

1:12:11

turn the smiley player gains an extra dice

1:12:13

for each then crosses them out extra die

1:12:15

for each my revolutionary poetry was acknowledged by

1:12:17

the mayor who granted me the quote metaphorical

1:12:20

key to the city it's just those words

1:12:22

on a small scroll but

1:12:24

hey that's a boon so um opposition

1:12:27

what is the burden that they leave

1:12:30

the scene with and what is the and

1:12:32

what is the boon that

1:12:34

they leave the scene with oh right

1:12:37

actually the boon you know yeah you're gonna

1:12:39

pick a boon okay

1:12:44

oh boy tell me if this counts this would

1:12:46

be this fits into the category

1:12:48

of burden I mean

1:12:51

you said you wanted a droid and

1:12:53

so what if lattice

1:12:55

just like comes with you yeah

1:12:59

I like it huh

1:13:02

I love to have just an extra

1:13:04

Nobel around all the time sure I

1:13:06

love anyone Brian you're thirsty

1:13:09

it's the middle of the night you get up to

1:13:11

go get water and there's a Nobel in

1:13:14

the hallway you know

1:13:16

sometimes you just you just run into people okay lattice

1:13:21

lattice join the

1:13:24

blue air quotes joy but

1:13:26

yeah that's explicitly a burden

1:13:28

which is so fun it's

1:13:30

not like it could be

1:13:32

a boon awesome which

1:13:34

could be funny but you tell me what her boo

1:13:36

does yeah it's funny cuz

1:13:38

I yeah for a second there

1:13:40

I was thinking of cuz

1:13:43

like I the reason this

1:13:45

was sort of my first challenge and then I

1:13:47

was trying to actually we have

1:13:49

fucked this up a little bit you finish your thought

1:13:51

then I'll come back around okay well

1:13:53

yeah I I wanted

1:13:56

this to be step one of what is like

1:13:58

a technology technological

1:14:01

advancement for Brine at the end of this.

1:14:03

So like I had had this

1:14:06

picture of like Brine actually

1:14:08

communicating with like a bunch of other

1:14:10

people in Refrain. And

1:14:13

because you know there's probably some yeah some tech

1:14:15

guys in there. But the

1:14:17

idea of like Lattice just being like around.

1:14:23

You got the guy right here. So I don't

1:14:25

have to think of a bunch of different NPCs. But

1:14:28

what was the mistake before. So

1:14:31

after the dice have been paired the

1:14:33

spotlight player will narrate their victories. Starting

1:14:35

with the lowest die result continuing to the highest.

1:14:39

Next the opposition narrates the spotlight players

1:14:41

losses again from lowest to highest. These

1:14:44

narrations can be quick and to the point or include

1:14:46

some role playing. Sometimes resolution is called for early in

1:14:48

the scene and most of the role playing happens in

1:14:50

describing the outcomes. Any approach is okay

1:14:52

as long as all victories and losses are narrated and

1:14:54

recorded. Note in the rare case that

1:14:56

an outcome would give you boons, burdens, relationships or obstacles that

1:14:58

don't fit on the character sheet. You can write

1:15:00

those in the notes section. That's fine. We're

1:15:02

pretty good on that. And then did I

1:15:04

achieve my scene goal. None of the dice

1:15:06

results directly determine whether or not you achieved

1:15:08

your scene goal. That's decided

1:15:10

while narrating outcomes. As long as the

1:15:13

spotlight player has any victories they can

1:15:15

narrate whether the scene goal is accomplished.

1:15:17

If the spotlight player has no victories

1:15:19

the opposition will decide. No

1:15:22

matter who has narrative control their aim is to move

1:15:24

the story forward. The end

1:15:26

of a scene should never leave you back where you

1:15:28

began. So in other

1:15:30

words because you got at least one win

1:15:32

you can decide whether or not refrain

1:15:37

joins Millennium Break. Whether or not you

1:15:39

got your good answer to the scene

1:15:41

question. If you got no victories, refrain

1:15:44

would have decided. The opposition decides that

1:15:47

instead. Right? Okay. So

1:15:49

you can decide that. What you should do is

1:15:51

you should narrate based on your success

1:15:53

and then the opposition will

1:15:56

narrate their success. You know

1:15:58

their one success basically. Okay,

1:16:00

which I kind of think we already kind of did in this

1:16:02

case, but But we

1:16:04

want more detail. I'm also happy with that Yeah,

1:16:07

I mean I feel like this is a good through

1:16:09

line in terms of like the

1:16:11

resolution was You

1:16:15

know lattice making an offer and Brian sort of

1:16:17

making that counteroffer and I think the like scene

1:16:19

of the victory can be like further

1:16:22

litigating Like

1:16:28

adding nuance to whatever the agreement is

1:16:30

and like, you know lattice kind

1:16:32

of warming up over time to the Conversation

1:16:35

and then like we can keep

1:16:37

that lattice joined as the burden

1:16:42

But I think that like yeah I succeeded

1:16:49

And then I have my boon my

1:16:51

boon and I think that

1:16:53

my boon is maybe my

1:16:55

boon can be like Something

1:16:58

related to the cause Sure,

1:17:02

I mean I think God

1:17:05

we'll just set like You

1:17:08

know Maybe I'm talking about this cuz I

1:17:11

don't think that anyone's gonna respond to this noise

1:17:13

by being like nice

1:17:15

one captain Digital

1:17:21

archive to upload ourselves from or

1:17:23

into and then disappear from reality

1:17:26

itself thick What's

1:17:29

funny is this has happened on Twilight

1:17:31

Mirage before in some ways, you know,

1:17:33

the Argosy spliced is out there somewhere.

1:17:35

Mm-hmm The the the new earth Gemini

1:17:37

plus tender sky fleet, you know

1:17:39

I was gonna add on there's a mechanism

1:17:42

for relationships getting harmed in this game And

1:17:47

we didn't roll it okay, all

1:17:49

right, but yes if you if

1:17:51

you look the the negative result

1:17:55

For is exhaust one relationship

1:17:59

You don't like this so much Yeah, no, I'm

1:18:01

registering this bees disapproval in

1:18:03

the bio where sense on this one Ghost

1:18:09

that was that was there's a lot

1:18:11

there getting our footing doing the

1:18:13

first scene. Yeah. Yeah, can we just do super

1:18:16

quick? What the actual deal

1:18:18

was what did we get out of

1:18:20

that? Ladder

1:18:23

seems to have joined the Millennium brake but

1:18:25

like that light image of lattice as

1:18:28

a burden Oh Lattice

1:18:31

is hanging around the blue channel

1:18:33

constantly. So so we get that

1:18:36

Lattice is hanging around the blue channel constantly

1:18:39

as it so that's a burden for Brian

1:18:41

because Brian refuses to grieve Balance,

1:18:44

right? Okay, and

1:18:46

does that we I guess it'll bear out

1:18:48

if that is going to it Doesn't

1:18:50

it isn't I guess what I'm the thing

1:18:52

is I'm kind of confused It doesn't seem

1:18:54

really like the affliction joined and more like

1:18:57

lattice is sorry Also in the background is

1:18:59

the thing that I think Brian said which

1:19:01

is like now you have this

1:19:03

huge archive of people who are knowledgeable about things

1:19:05

to talk to Pedia

1:19:08

of Pre-twilight

1:19:11

Mirage technology, I can know think about

1:19:13

think about like that's the culture that

1:19:16

built gumption for instance, right? Yeah, and

1:19:18

gumption is the way that all

1:19:20

of the Divines are immortal now Well, yeah,

1:19:22

you know the engineer you can talk to

1:19:24

engineers from that era now, right? We've

1:19:26

also got a Future

1:19:29

out there being the this sounds like oh

1:19:33

a source for counter future

1:19:35

propaganda Maybe

1:19:38

I'm curious Right,

1:19:42

but yeah, okay. And then and then what they got

1:19:44

is that they can keep asking people to to

1:19:46

mind meld I'm curious what that mind meld

1:19:48

offer looks like. Yeah, is that yeah, there's

1:19:50

like it's sent out on the strands to

1:19:53

The rest of Millennium brake is it something that? You

1:19:57

know, what's the it's anyone who's

1:19:59

done? Was it

1:20:01

also like, I

1:20:04

might have been misunderstanding the stakes of the

1:20:06

scene a little, but I feel like there

1:20:08

was a bit of, I will join Millennium

1:20:11

Break if you let me eat by lat

1:20:13

prisoners. No, that got counters. Oh, that was

1:20:15

the counter argument? That was the counter argument,

1:20:17

right. Yeah, the counter argument, Brian said instead,

1:20:19

I will let you ask people in Millennium

1:20:22

Break to join. Yeah, and if they want to

1:20:25

join, they can join. That was my read. Yeah.

1:20:28

Well, Brian's thing was like, you

1:20:30

know, this should be an opt-in thing. I don't think it

1:20:32

was necessarily like Millennium Break people

1:20:34

would go in there, but like anybody who would

1:20:36

be interested. To join the – right. How

1:20:39

are you supporting that? Like, what is your follow

1:20:41

through on that? Yeah, I –

1:20:43

well, that's what I was trying to – I

1:20:46

think sort of the trouble with the gain

1:20:48

here is also me trying to figure out

1:20:50

what this boon is. But

1:20:54

I do think like Brian

1:20:57

would connect lattice to the Millennium

1:20:59

Break. Like, I think that there's like –

1:21:02

you know, Brian's belief that part

1:21:04

of the liberation of Palisade

1:21:06

would include the Five Afflictions

1:21:08

is still there. So

1:21:12

that's why I was thinking of like would the

1:21:14

cause – I don't want to write like more

1:21:16

respect with the cause, but like more authority. Like,

1:21:18

I don't know. I think

1:21:22

that's what I'm struggling around. You

1:21:24

know, remember, one of their examples was you

1:21:26

found a lucky penny. You don't have to go big. These

1:21:28

are temporary short-term. It didn't improve

1:21:31

the situation on the ground, you know? It

1:21:34

made you feel good in a way that you can cash

1:21:36

in on next scene, right? Yeah,

1:21:40

I guess my boon would be

1:21:44

access – oh, is my

1:21:47

keyboard off? Okay. Access to

1:21:49

Twilight Mirage

1:21:51

Engineers. Two

1:21:53

E's. But

1:21:56

I do think like that there's, you know – You

1:22:00

know, Brian called a cause meeting about this

1:22:02

and then has to,

1:22:04

you know, talk to August

1:22:06

and, and mustard right about like, Hey, you know, this

1:22:08

is kind of important to me. And I think

1:22:11

this person should be included. And,

1:22:17

um, true

1:22:19

that wild conversation. But yeah,

1:22:21

I mean, the thing, the thing, yeah, I think, I think

1:22:23

so. I think the thing that is probably worth saying out

1:22:25

loud is like, this is a

1:22:27

being that is going to make the real

1:22:30

case to people that it is worth dying

1:22:32

to enshrine part of your culture that might

1:22:34

be lost. That like, you

1:22:36

can become part of this living archive

1:22:38

or this undead archive in

1:22:40

order to ensure that the things you

1:22:42

know about the world aren't lost forever.

1:22:46

And I suspect that there are some

1:22:48

people from outside of Palisade who might

1:22:51

feel like, well, sure.

1:22:53

There's something here I care. There's something I

1:22:55

know about the world outside that isn't –

1:22:57

that will be lost with my death here,

1:23:00

right? And I don't know how many

1:23:02

people say yes to that or how – what their

1:23:04

situation of life is or, you know,

1:23:06

but that is the case that lattice or that refrain

1:23:08

is going to start making. It's

1:23:11

what refrain made to begin with in the divine

1:23:13

fleet, right? It was like, hey, we're all being

1:23:15

hunted. Let's ensure that there

1:23:18

is a divine archive, a sacred

1:23:20

archive of what life

1:23:22

was really like to begin with. And so

1:23:24

I suspect there are some people who feel

1:23:26

really uncomfortable about that throughout the cause, you

1:23:28

know, who are like, no,

1:23:30

I'm not going to die. I'm not

1:23:32

going to let this thing eat me

1:23:34

so that my grandmother's, you know, fossil

1:23:37

recipe is maintained. Like,

1:23:39

that's not – my priorities are different

1:23:41

than that. So

1:23:43

I imagine there's a little debate about

1:23:45

this, you know? I

1:23:49

just want to bring this background from the

1:23:51

beginning. No

1:23:53

matter how we feel about the afflictions,

1:23:55

they're called the afflictions here on Palisade.

1:23:57

Yeah, but who named them that? Well,

1:24:03

the probably the Fabrielle duchy.

1:24:05

Yeah. So I think

1:24:07

that there is a there is a bunch of people. Yeah,

1:24:09

you don't have to be the Fabrielle. I know that. I

1:24:11

know that. But I but I but I do think that

1:24:13

it is again. Last episode

1:24:15

we had Gucci or two episodes. We had

1:24:17

Gucci say you had a

1:24:19

you had a a branched

1:24:22

on your ship and we all went, I

1:24:24

can't believe this is the

1:24:26

feed me your brain machine. I know. I know.

1:24:28

Keith, I know. I just really people have done

1:24:30

that. Like, I know that we want

1:24:32

to litigate it because but like the like, I deletion

1:24:35

part of it is too hot to

1:24:37

touch like out of character. So like,

1:24:39

if in the world, people have done that,

1:24:41

then like, in current day, they would do

1:24:43

that. I don't need to get into why

1:24:45

they would. Well, and

1:24:47

importantly, yes, I think there are people who

1:24:49

are like the afflictions are scary. There are

1:24:51

also people who who never liked Phrygian because

1:24:54

Phrygian was a branched, right? It's

1:24:56

not new, I think for the blue

1:24:58

channel to be associating with things that

1:25:00

are, you know, figure was the weird

1:25:02

undead twice over, you know,

1:25:05

connected to the adversary. Okay, I do have lots

1:25:07

of devils that are on your side of this

1:25:10

war. This isn't so yes, I think there are

1:25:12

people who are part of the cause who like

1:25:14

this is a little freaky to me. But

1:25:17

I don't I don't want to grind the game to the

1:25:19

halt, because it wouldn't be the first time, you know, with

1:25:23

shirt, whatever. That's all right. Am I wrong about that?

1:25:25

I just feel

1:25:27

like there's no

1:25:29

there's the adversary perennial is the

1:25:31

devil in the world. We

1:25:34

saw perennial cough and

1:25:36

kill a bunch of people.

1:25:38

Right. And that's, yeah, I'm not

1:25:40

Corey currently worships in this in

1:25:42

a connected relationship with the devil.

1:25:46

Right. And Phrygian was part of a

1:25:48

species that I have said that the

1:25:50

people in the divine principality cannot look

1:25:52

at without feeling sick. Yeah,

1:25:55

I think the the it's

1:25:58

less than I'm even trying to make a point more

1:26:00

than. I'm just trying to highlight that,

1:26:02

you know, for whoever we're hanging out with that

1:26:05

someone might be like, Oh, they're hanging out with

1:26:07

them. We usually don't have to send an email

1:26:09

being like, and you can donate your brain and

1:26:11

become a ghost, you know, like

1:26:13

that's a little bit different than just like friggin

1:26:15

being somewhere that someone, someone might be. I mean,

1:26:17

actually what I think it is, is we've not

1:26:19

zoomed in on someone sent an

1:26:21

email that said, Hey, there is a branch

1:26:23

as part of our crew. Do

1:26:26

like, I, we, you cannot use that

1:26:28

word around them anymore. Treat them with

1:26:30

respect. Someone had to send that email

1:26:32

to Millennium break at some point about

1:26:34

Phrygian. Now,

1:26:36

was it on partisan five years ago? Maybe.

1:26:38

Right. But I don't know that it's that,

1:26:41

I don't think that no communication happened around there

1:26:43

being a branch does part of Millennium break, you

1:26:46

know, I don't

1:26:48

think people to the degree that I'm pretty

1:26:50

sure we talked about it. Right. Exactly. Right.

1:26:52

Gucci said, I had to defend you for

1:26:54

having Phrygian last week. I

1:26:56

do take your point. I do think that it's worth saying that there

1:26:58

are people who are not comfortable with this, but

1:27:01

I think that that's part of being in the cause is really

1:27:04

how I was doing, you're not comfortable with. Yeah. And

1:27:07

yeah, I guess to narrativize it, that

1:27:09

is part of why I shied off of like

1:27:12

connecting my boon to the cause at

1:27:14

large. Cause I don't know that it

1:27:17

would just be like a, Oh yeah, pet

1:27:19

on the back. Nice

1:27:21

recruitment. Yeah. I don't like it. Yeah. I think it's

1:27:23

much more, uh, nuanced

1:27:26

than that. You have

1:27:28

gained particular access to a particular type

1:27:31

of expertise that you can rely on

1:27:33

going forward. Yeah. Yeah. Notably nothing positive

1:27:35

happened in terms of the

1:27:37

kingdom's scores, right? The, it does not like you

1:27:40

got this and then help and spirit got stronger.

1:27:42

You know, um, nothing

1:27:44

it's just all that you got out of that

1:27:46

was a little boon for yourself, right? And the

1:27:48

narrative positioning of now having that. So, all

1:27:52

right. Once you've narrowed

1:27:54

the outcomes of your scene and recorded the results,

1:27:56

your turn is complete. The person to your left

1:27:58

clockwise will take the next turn. Oh,

1:28:01

well, we're doing that by sitting position,

1:28:03

right? So that would be I think by

1:28:06

sheet position Yeah, so I think Jack

1:28:08

August righteousness goes next I think exciting

1:28:12

We're just gonna go clockwise. Okay instead of okay,

1:28:14

but we've figured it's weird This is player

1:28:16

to your left and then this is clockwise

1:28:18

is that clockwise? I guess

1:28:20

that's clockwise if you're facing inward Yes,

1:28:23

that is how yeah, and then we're

1:28:25

six o'clock facing inward then to your

1:28:27

left to your left is clockwise. Yeah

1:28:30

But we're gonna pick the sheets and not

1:28:32

the setting order that we chose for relationship

1:28:35

Yes, you know, I guess you're for So,

1:28:38

okay that might get I will that will

1:28:41

be so confusing for me though. Okay written

1:28:43

down house rules. Yeah It's

1:28:45

up there But if it's unless

1:28:47

it's something that we're getting by doing it by

1:28:49

relationships that I'm not seeing Do

1:28:51

we like get anything out of it that the

1:28:53

the relationships are supposed in the book

1:28:56

the relationships are the sitting order? Right.

1:28:58

Yeah, yeah, yeah I

1:29:02

like shaking it up because it means that we don't

1:29:04

go we don't go there's

1:29:06

a bride and eclectic scene and there's an eclectic

1:29:09

and brine scene and Levitation

1:29:11

scene and there's a you know, so I

1:29:13

don't mix up. So So

1:29:16

next scene, I

1:29:18

believe that's August Yeah,

1:29:20

okay. Um Right

1:29:24

the framework for beginning a scene is I

1:29:26

think Scene goal.

1:29:28

Where are you? Yeah, who

1:29:30

wear what who wear water or something something

1:29:33

like that? Yeah Yeah,

1:29:35

okay. Um, I would like

1:29:37

to take a real swing

1:29:39

at We

1:29:41

keep sort of Gesturing at the

1:29:43

fact that there is remaining Principality

1:29:46

military resistance on the planet

1:29:49

both our number He's

1:29:52

saying our number our war and

1:29:54

conflicts number reflects that and also

1:29:57

You know, we know that Clementine captured Lucia

1:30:01

but there is we've also narrated like

1:30:04

scattered pockets of the White

1:30:06

Star Fleet who are you

1:30:09

know presumably trained and

1:30:11

dangerous soldiers even

1:30:14

you know a cut off from their

1:30:16

you know supply line or

1:30:18

something they sort of have these images of

1:30:21

well let's get into it I

1:30:24

emphasize it's them but it's also

1:30:26

crusade and crusades whole retinue is

1:30:28

still here yeah as we know and

1:30:31

and we know

1:30:33

that Exeter March has like gone to ground

1:30:36

somewhere probably with some like elite

1:30:38

bodyguards right yeah something like that yeah

1:30:42

but you know I sort of have

1:30:44

an August righteousness and morning

1:30:47

sort of have like a like

1:30:49

a list of like alright you

1:30:51

know who we getting and I think I'd like to start

1:30:53

by trying to take out one

1:30:56

of the landers you know one

1:30:59

of these sort of like I'd

1:31:01

go bigger let's say it's not one

1:31:03

of like the core remaining

1:31:06

White Star Fleet I don't know really you

1:31:08

only get three scenes right yeah yeah I'd

1:31:10

like to like my original

1:31:12

plan have been I'm gonna launch an

1:31:15

operation to try and knock out the

1:31:17

remaining sort of cells the lander cell

1:31:19

okay on on the planet yeah

1:31:21

and we can we can zoom in in a

1:31:23

sort of firebrand sense on the one that August

1:31:25

and the people he is with are at

1:31:29

but we can sort of interpret the

1:31:31

dice as being this wider operation successes

1:31:34

and failures etc like that

1:31:36

where is it happening I

1:31:38

am targeting Lander

1:31:42

12 which has

1:31:44

crashed into the side

1:31:47

of steeple cataract that is

1:31:49

the mountain with the now abandoned

1:31:51

or I imagine that Millennium

1:31:54

brake probably tried to move in or the

1:31:56

cause tried to move in and it was

1:31:58

going very well until Lander 12

1:32:00

crashed into the side of the mountain and

1:32:02

then they sort of like some of them

1:32:04

fell during that engagement or whatever. Right, who

1:32:07

cataract where the paint shop used to be?

1:32:09

On the very top of the mountain. Cataract,

1:32:12

the paint shop is on the very peak and

1:32:15

Lander 12 which is a series of like

1:32:23

sort of like round drilling craft. The

1:32:25

goal had been that they would hit the ground

1:32:27

and drill into the ground and then a team

1:32:29

of white star sappers would sort of pour

1:32:32

out and start physically undermining things. Now

1:32:35

they've wedged themselves in the side of

1:32:37

a mountain and I

1:32:39

think August Righteousness himself out

1:32:42

on the field is

1:32:46

like attached to one of those like

1:32:48

abseils, like rappelling down the mountain along

1:32:51

with a squad of his soldiers. I

1:32:54

have also brought, let's see,

1:32:59

so my relationships are with levitation,

1:33:02

that relationship is exhausted and

1:33:04

with Clementine. Now

1:33:07

I get a benefit only if

1:33:09

the relationship is not exhausted. So,

1:33:14

wow, am I about to

1:33:17

bring in the truly cursed fighting

1:33:19

team of Coriolis, Sunset and Clementine,

1:33:21

I guess. Oh

1:33:24

my god! That was so fun. Yeah,

1:33:28

sure. And

1:33:31

my goal is, the goal of the broader

1:33:33

operation is you know elsewhere on Palisade you

1:33:35

know we get these sort of like montages

1:33:38

of Kalara and a crew, maybe Kalara and

1:33:40

Levitation are you know setting up to try

1:33:42

and take down another Lander unit or But

1:33:46

we are focusing in on this

1:33:48

like mountainside assault of 12. Right,

1:33:51

and again the scene's question, your

1:33:54

scene goal is to, keep

1:33:57

coming back to this phrase, to stomp out the... Remains

1:34:00

of the white star fleet on

1:34:02

yep, Palisade. Yep So

1:34:05

and it is so it's on top. It's it's not

1:34:07

on top of it's a long steeple cataract this huge

1:34:09

mountain And it is

1:34:11

Corey you and Clem Plus

1:34:14

a crew of you know righteousness

1:34:17

is best Right and

1:34:20

it's up against The

1:34:22

remnants of Lucia's fleet or

1:34:25

members of the so so cash falls

1:34:27

specifically All right,

1:34:29

everybody else plays opposition. So what

1:34:31

are your what are your obstacles? obstacle

1:34:34

one compromised leadership That's

1:34:37

difficult because I have Clementine with me, you know,

1:34:39

we sort of spun that out of talking about

1:34:41

like Mustards is obviously

1:34:43

compromised leadership It could also be

1:34:45

a much softer compromise as well

1:34:47

as the like truly terrifying compromises

1:34:50

For example, the pirates have very

1:34:52

interesting thoughts about sort of autonomy

1:34:55

The righteousness probably believes in different

1:34:58

kinds of punishment than the Mirage people,

1:35:00

you know stuff like that And

1:35:03

then it will be hard to actually capture them.

1:35:05

They're slippery they

1:35:07

are both skilled at evasive

1:35:10

soldiers and they are They've

1:35:13

gone to ground and have been able to

1:35:15

get ground for a while in

1:35:18

an extremely complex Mountain

1:35:20

peak right right they've been

1:35:22

here since the landers came down You

1:35:24

know, that's fun Especially

1:35:27

given that so much of the cause

1:35:29

was was like that was what made

1:35:31

them successful During the

1:35:33

the kind of cinderkast era right of

1:35:35

like over in the caves or in

1:35:38

the mountains This is our

1:35:40

territory and now Lucia's people

1:35:42

are doing that in yeah cataract

1:35:45

fun Kelly a picture. What's

1:35:48

what's you give me righteousness coming down on

1:35:50

the Repel the

1:35:52

repelling line. Let's get a quarry image and

1:35:54

a clementine image

1:35:58

How are y'all going about? this

1:36:00

this part of your encounter oh

1:36:02

my god I mean have we seen are

1:36:05

you Cory are you in an altar are

1:36:07

you in your new altar I

1:36:10

was gonna so yeah I don't have

1:36:12

like a new one I was just

1:36:14

thinking that the Paramirian had

1:36:16

got like a perennial color like flowers and

1:36:18

stuff yeah yeah yeah it's like over it

1:36:20

looks overgrown now

1:36:25

in a weird way did the we

1:36:28

talked about the the flowers

1:36:30

on figures

1:36:33

you know final final yeah

1:36:36

the broken spoke kind of

1:36:38

blooming again did they then

1:36:40

like grow across the the

1:36:43

hangar and begin

1:36:45

to grow along yours oh

1:36:48

I love that reached across yeah

1:36:51

fun I just had

1:36:53

this like idea of this like skeleton mech

1:36:55

covered in like vines

1:36:57

and stuff and was like yeah no that's cool

1:37:00

fuck your big

1:37:02

metal wings you've got the you're in you're

1:37:04

doing the damn thing in the paramirian yeah

1:37:06

this is what I'm good at I if

1:37:08

you look at my sheet you'll notice it

1:37:10

says hero on it so I'm

1:37:12

doing all good righteousness is like

1:37:14

climbing and then going up

1:37:16

and down on the ropes and and is

1:37:18

leading their whole crew that way are you

1:37:20

flying like defenses they try

1:37:23

to like breach yeah it's like air support

1:37:25

would be my guess so at least

1:37:28

start obviously projectiles aren't

1:37:30

as much of a thing given toilet mirage

1:37:32

no that's not true remember that's all oh

1:37:34

wait no we think white right we reinvented

1:37:36

guns if guns do not exist it would

1:37:38

be necessary why right has an AK 47

1:37:41

he has like a just an AK just literally an

1:37:43

AK 47 he has a future

1:37:45

a K but he has but

1:37:47

it's legible in that way that like sometimes

1:37:50

Star Wars will put an AK 47

1:37:52

in someone's hand wait a second that's

1:37:54

not a regular blaster that's just an

1:37:56

AK 47 a light magic weapon from

1:38:00

popping out with the Draco. Yeah, that's right. Clem,

1:38:05

the witch in glass. Yeah,

1:38:08

I think Clem, for dramatic

1:38:10

purposes, is also performing air support. I

1:38:12

would like to put an image into

1:38:15

the chat. Oh my god. It's a

1:38:17

thing that I think Clem is writing

1:38:19

on. I'm so excited. It's the green

1:38:22

goblin flyer. I'm going to laugh so

1:38:24

hard. No, we can

1:38:26

rule this, you know. What is? Oh,

1:38:28

wow. Can you please describe what

1:38:30

I'm looking at? Yeah, this is, I

1:38:33

mean, this is a Magic the

1:38:35

Gathering card. If you'd like to

1:38:38

go find it, this is the

1:38:40

multiverse Legends version of Schistherix, the

1:38:42

Blight Dragon. And

1:38:44

I'm going to tell you, the

1:38:47

artist of this piece did a great

1:38:49

job of taking the note, the Blight

1:38:51

Dragon. I think Kekai Kekaki. Yeah,

1:38:55

that's what I'm reading here too. And

1:38:59

it's just like

1:39:02

a dragon sketched out

1:39:05

of the shadows of

1:39:07

Hiroshima. Jesus. Is how I

1:39:09

feel. Jesus, yeah. Oh my

1:39:11

god. Fuck Christ. It's

1:39:14

really flat looking in a way that

1:39:16

I think is super cool. Like

1:39:19

clearly, the one arm is coming out

1:39:22

towards us, right? But the

1:39:24

image doesn't portray that depth. The

1:39:27

image knows it's a playing card. And

1:39:30

it might as well

1:39:32

all be teeth. Yeah,

1:39:34

this is a little walled dragon

1:39:37

was entirely teeth. You know, was

1:39:39

teeth. And

1:39:41

not teeth like those fellas in

1:39:43

Sanxiel, where they

1:39:45

were made out of noticeable

1:39:47

enamel teeth. These are just

1:39:49

like sharp, dark blades. Right,

1:39:52

it's like it's ribcage. Until we found the

1:39:54

full artwork, which shows that it does eventually

1:39:56

stop being teeth and becomes an inkworm below

1:39:58

the weight of the animal. Also the

1:40:01

wings here, they're just like

1:40:04

bone shivs up in

1:40:06

the shape sort of of wings but not

1:40:09

filled in. There's no webbing in the wings,

1:40:11

you know? Yeah. It's a dragon

1:40:13

but a death metal font. Yeah.

1:40:16

Yeah. That's why I like that.

1:40:18

I figured it out. Thank you. And

1:40:20

the tail just comes out of nowhere. And the ribs are gonna

1:40:22

give you a big hug. A big sharp hug. Yeah.

1:40:26

Uh-huh. Yippee. Yeah.

1:40:28

So Clem is riding this dragon. Amazing.

1:40:31

And it's sort of like just

1:40:35

exuding giant teeth

1:40:37

at the ground. Like

1:40:40

as a, like, exuding

1:40:42

in an active. Like

1:40:44

a breath weapon would do but without... Oh

1:40:46

my god. Like it's not a

1:40:48

breath archangel from the X-Men. Like

1:40:51

archangel from the X-Men but from the chest area

1:40:53

instead of the wing area. Cool.

1:40:56

Good. Uh... Is

1:40:59

she impassive on this dragon? Is she like

1:41:01

yelling? I'm so curious about the image

1:41:03

of Clem's face riding a death dragon.

1:41:06

If I could get away... If

1:41:08

I... I'll pitch something. You tell

1:41:10

me if I can get away with this. Which

1:41:13

is Clem in leisurely

1:41:18

recline. One

1:41:22

leg over the back of this dragon. On the other. Relaxed.

1:41:25

Oh my god. I'm getting the

1:41:27

pose of the Final Fantasy XIV

1:41:29

Behemoth mount. Oh yeah. Oh

1:41:32

you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh huh. Let's

1:41:35

see if we can get that mount, the image of that

1:41:37

mount in here with the... With

1:41:39

someone on the back. Importantly,

1:41:42

I have a really important

1:41:45

question. Which is,

1:41:48

now that you're not a perennial girly,

1:41:51

what's in place of the... Is

1:41:55

it this black ink tooth

1:41:57

stuff? The witching

1:41:59

glass. time used to have a sort of face

1:42:02

mask of the Russian

1:42:04

sage. Has it

1:42:06

become a face mask and crown

1:42:08

of this like black

1:42:10

inky tooth stuff or is that just

1:42:13

tied to this? I think it's just

1:42:15

a more vague black emptiness and

1:42:18

it sort of comes into focus as it

1:42:20

used to be. Sometimes it's toothy, sometimes

1:42:22

it's um I

1:42:25

guess we're gonna say not floral but because that's

1:42:28

what we just went from. Different type of floral

1:42:30

as well. Yeah different type of floral. That's fun.

1:42:32

Do you know there's more than one type of

1:42:34

flower? I know it's new. Fucked

1:42:36

up if true. Damn. And

1:42:39

yes this this this Final Fantasy XIV mount

1:42:41

is the correct sort

1:42:44

of pose. Really in the pose. Maybe even

1:42:46

with this little chair. Sure. Yeah. Someone else

1:42:48

who I think is here not in

1:42:50

person but is here in maybe

1:42:53

uh over the comms is Gucci

1:42:55

is guaranteed because August righteousness is

1:42:57

serious when he says uh, climb

1:43:00

is your responsibility Gucci. Uh and

1:43:02

has deployed her on this mission

1:43:04

only with her handler uh,

1:43:07

you know. Right yeah Gucci

1:43:09

is in some sort of nearby ship.

1:43:13

Um uh watching everything.

1:43:16

In a cold sweat. In a cold sweat

1:43:18

being like please don't make me need

1:43:21

to launch in the

1:43:23

transgresso bleach to like

1:43:25

go put the leash on clam. Please

1:43:28

let this just go normal. I

1:43:30

wanna stop baffling iconoclasts. Yeah uh huh. You

1:43:33

know I think you probably get get you

1:43:35

know uh are you going you're going up

1:43:37

or you're going in? You're going where you're

1:43:39

going down. I think we were like dropped.

1:43:41

The ground team was like dropped at the

1:43:43

top of the mountain and we are descending

1:43:45

into it. Um is

1:43:48

a real sort of like uh what if

1:43:50

uh Ethan Hawke. No

1:43:52

Ethan Hunt. No. Which one is

1:43:54

Tom Cruise? Ethan Hunt. Uh

1:43:57

Ethan Hawke. Yeah. From uh the full sunrise. As

1:44:00

far as we know, Ethan Hawke could at any

1:44:02

moment pull a mask off revealing that he has

1:44:04

always been Tom Cruise. That

1:44:06

would disappoint me so much. Well, me too. If he

1:44:08

takes the mask off, does he reveal these Ethan Hunt?

1:44:10

I guess so. That's true, right? Yeah,

1:44:12

that's actually true, yeah. Yeah, I think

1:44:15

August Righteousness is doing a sort of Ethan

1:44:17

Hunt maneuver if he

1:44:19

was a shabby revolutionary instead of, you

1:44:22

know, he's

1:44:24

in improvised camo. I think

1:44:26

that the cause has been here long enough

1:44:28

that they have developed some

1:44:31

sort of field uniform. So I think

1:44:33

he's in the greys and whites and

1:44:36

blues of mountain camouflage. Gun

1:44:39

on his back, singleist gloves,

1:44:41

you know, as he descends

1:44:43

the mountain. Yeah.

1:44:46

Well, let me tell you, I think they're slippery. And

1:44:49

as you're coming down the rappel lines and

1:44:51

trying to get to whatever pier it is

1:44:53

that there's like the entryway into their cave

1:44:56

system, you know, they're firing at you

1:44:58

from below. They're firing at you

1:45:00

from below. And then, you know, when you're in

1:45:02

your most compromised position, the rocks

1:45:04

start to fall on you from above, right?

1:45:07

The boulders start falling down at you, you know,

1:45:11

trying to catch you, hit you with those, you

1:45:14

know, some sort of anti-air

1:45:18

nets are shot at the two flying

1:45:20

mechs. There's all sorts of trickery as

1:45:23

they retreat from their external

1:45:25

position deeper into the caves. Maybe

1:45:28

they're not trying to actually kill you so much as like, you

1:45:31

know, hit you here before

1:45:33

they retreat to new safety. I

1:45:37

think, you know, AirPiece, I thought they didn't fix them when

1:45:39

people have to touch their ears so that the viewer knows

1:45:41

that they're using an AirPiece. I don't think that they have

1:45:43

to do that in real life. I don't think they have

1:45:45

to get a little button on there. They all

1:45:48

fit kind of loose. You got to put them in there. Listen,

1:45:50

let me hold up, let me push it in a little bit. This

1:45:52

doesn't actually fit my head. Yeah,

1:45:55

I think, you know, scrambling for breath,

1:45:58

little burst of automatic weapons fire. and

1:46:00

August is like Clementine come in yes

1:46:03

do you copy of

1:46:05

course I think Coriolis can handle

1:46:07

the rest of the air support we need

1:46:09

support inside the caves they're pinning us down

1:46:12

in here can you deploy iconoclasts he

1:46:14

says it like they're like the word coming out of his mouth sour

1:46:17

on his tongue and as a

1:46:19

cook he'd know just

1:46:24

a moment and

1:46:28

then I guess club does whatever that looks like I what

1:46:30

is a horrifying assault

1:46:32

of iconoclasts into actually can you

1:46:35

tell me what it looks like

1:46:37

from the perspective of like vice

1:46:39

corporal Luta or white Starfleet

1:46:41

who is in a cave you know fairly

1:46:44

deep in a cave right now it's dark

1:46:46

you know he has little halogen lamps branded

1:46:48

with the white star symbol which

1:46:50

I think by the way is their trick they're

1:46:53

hoping what they're gonna do is enforce you to

1:46:55

land go inside of their cave system and then

1:46:57

get them just caught in a crossfire right exactly

1:46:59

they know how the cave system works they think

1:47:01

that it's safe in there they're trying to stop

1:47:04

fighting you outside and draw you in deeper and

1:47:06

focus righteousness is sending in a ferret to kill

1:47:08

rabbits yeah

1:47:10

I think it sounds I'm cutting

1:47:12

I'm gonna be on such my

1:47:15

bullshit today um good

1:47:17

you know you know blade to I

1:47:20

sure do you know the sound

1:47:23

those horrible vampires may

1:47:25

like the special blade to vampires

1:47:28

the special blade to vampires I

1:47:31

think it sounds like that approx Keith have you seen

1:47:33

these I have never seen

1:47:35

blade no is it like an inward

1:47:37

scream that's what I'm guessing like a

1:47:39

screech scream too far off I'm gonna

1:47:43

refrain from just can I guess what the

1:47:45

sound is having never seen the movie yeah

1:47:51

I that's pretty fucking close

1:47:53

not bad right find the

1:47:55

clip we gotta find a

1:47:57

clip even sounds he

1:47:59

doesn't I think I brought a clip. Let's see here.

1:48:01

Let's see what a Vt I

1:48:09

could yeah, okay. Here we go. Here

1:48:11

we go. It's it's I'm gonna give you a time

1:48:13

stamp here It's 52 seconds here in blade to clip

1:48:16

vampires versus Reavers 2002 sci-fi I'm

1:48:19

gonna send this over and then you can hit the face. Have you

1:48:21

all not seen blade? 2

1:48:26

I haven't seen God

1:48:28

I've only seen an alien

1:48:30

vampire. They're so fucked up

1:48:34

It's how you're about del Toro doing a marvel.

1:48:36

Wait, it's This

1:48:41

guy's face open up. Yeah, that's

1:48:43

Delta. Yeah. No. Oh that sounds so funny

1:48:45

evil puppy mouth everything made There

1:48:49

was one of the blade I just never went around got around

1:48:51

to it. This is where Norman

1:48:54

Reedus got his his break Really?

1:48:57

Oh, yeah Look at this.

1:48:59

He's like an absolute Bag in this movie and
