Tyrant of the Dark Star 2.02 - Juniper

[00:00:43] Speaker A: Wake me now from this sleep I've been dreaming Docks along I cannot find meaning hold my hand let me stay by your side oh there's never ending night I can feel it now it holds me all the his demon to in this red light because me he is reaching out consuming. [00:01:29] Speaker B: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Tyrant of the Dark Star. Just getting into season two stuff. I'm Aubrey, your gm. I'll test from my players to introduce you to who they are and who they're playing, and then we'll go rolling into things. [00:01:49] Speaker C: Hi, I'm Maki. My friends are she her and I play Gravewing, the Nagaji Silf, vigilante monk slash air kineticist who also uses she her pronouns, and she is the party mom slash strategist of the rebellion. [00:02:07] Speaker A: Hello, hello, I'm Alyssa. My pronouns are they, them, and I play Le Thadrisi iv, the matricidal Dampier, dandy, rogue and spy master who uses she any pronouns. [00:02:22] Speaker D: Hello, I am Dusty. I use they, he pronouns, and I'm playing Eurodo. Just Eurodo. Still, they are our Nephilim cursed boy of a problem. They are going to be the party and Rebellion's firebrand, and they also use they he pronouns. [00:02:44] Speaker A: Hello, I am Faris, I use she her pronouns, and I am playing Alouette Velar, a totally normal Nephilim thaumaturge bard, having a very normal and good time learning all about her way more cursed family. She also uses she her pronouns and is the anathema partisan. [00:03:03] Speaker E: Hello, I am Sparlock, and both me and my character use he him pronoun. I'm going by Alistair Whiskerfield, wizard detective extraordinaire, as heir to the fine, distinguished family of wizard mice, Ratzards, Esoke Arcanists. I swear I was always aware of it. I keep my whiskers to the ground to uncover the truth of the powers that be who subjugate us. By which I mean I'm our recruiter. [00:03:35] Speaker F: And hello, to round off the group, I am Tic. I have he, she, they pronouns. And today we'll be playing Niall, a flesh warp sorcerer who is just a totally ordinary cook and quartermaster for the group and definitely not a cannibal. Parentheses, He's a cannibal, but it's a dietary restriction, so don't be too mean to him. And I am also coincidentally, the recap person, if that is okay. Aubrey. [00:04:00] Speaker B: Yeah, go for it. [00:04:01] Speaker F: So last time on this game that we play, we figured out kind of how the mechanics for a revolution will work. It's not revolution. It starts with an R, but it's close enough. [00:04:11] Speaker B: Rebellion. [00:04:12] Speaker F: Rebellion, yes, the rebellion rules and mechanics. We picked a name, Anathema, a wonderfully fitting one. And definitely please don't pick Schism. I would have to explain. So much later we set off our first group to learn more about the city and what's going on in it. And we had some time to sort of prepare our next moves personally getting fake papers to be able to enter the city again. Because quite frankly, we're all wanted CR for a very good reason or a very not good reason, like matricide. I think it's a pretty good reason to be wanted criminal. But anyways, actually no. If I was in LA situation, I'd do the exact same thing. So actually she gets a pass. But we ended up having some nice conversations. Bravewing showed her face to Laith. Laith and Alouette had the most breakup. Not getting back together. But like good, bad, bad, good discussion. I was just sitting here with popcorn the whole time. Griefing was sitting there with actual popcorn the whole time. Dustin. Not Dustin. Why the fuck did I say Dustin Hill, full legal name. Yuri and Graveling had a nice discussion about. Hey, so you turn into a giant monster sometimes, huh? Don't be too out there. Don't be too quirky with it. You know, just be respectable with it. And he's like, all right. But a lot of nice discussions and plannings as we prepare ourselves for the next day. [00:05:34] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a little bit of time left in this night before you should try and sleep, so you can kind of try and reset your sleep schedules. Is there any last things people wanted to do before going to sleep? [00:05:51] Speaker F: Yes, I'm looking directly at the camera. Yes, I want to bother moth mom specifically, AKA Gravewing, AKA resident milf. Where is she? Where are you? [00:06:03] Speaker C: The MILF is walking, stalking the halls, snack in hand. [00:06:10] Speaker F: I will spot the MILF with a notepad in my hand. And she'd be like, oh, can I ask you a couple of personal questions about your body? [00:06:26] Speaker C: I'm going to allow it because I think it's going to go somewhere and it won't be offensive. [00:06:34] Speaker F: Okay, so to my understanding, you're able to change into a form that has a snake tail to it. Correct. Does that half of your body have a secondary stomach? Where does the anatomy join to your body? [00:06:48] Speaker C: Okay, it's from my hips down. And in terms of second stomach, I genuinely would not know. I was not raised by other doggaji. I was raised by state people, but not the same. We do not have the same anatomy structure. [00:07:15] Speaker F: Okay. Does changing form use up energy as you need to eat more food and likewise you need to eat more food in your snake form also. Are you cold blooded? [00:07:24] Speaker C: I think I'm cold blooded actually. Like for real. That part I don't know. Cannot afford a doctor. Take up energy. Sometimes if I'm too cold, I can't do it. Like it hurts to do. Do I need to eat more? Maybe I just eat when I'm hungry if I can. [00:07:52] Speaker F: Okay, that definitely works. So have you found that you felt more hungry in this form in longer periods of time with more of a preference towards meats perhaps? [00:08:01] Speaker C: The preference is. Definitely has. Is more towards meats in general. Okay. Yeah. But I eat normally. I can swallow things, like bigger things though. [00:08:15] Speaker F: Can I see? [00:08:17] Speaker C: Sure. Okay. Moth mom did this way back in the beginning with. That's how I smuggled in my kinetic bracelet that my. That my brother in law made for me. So just I just show you the bracelet. I just down it and then gird you back up, which stretches out my neck a little weirdly. But it's like there is a mouth pocket. [00:08:52] Speaker F: Okay, there's a mouth pocket. Interesting. Hold on, I have to google something. [00:08:56] Speaker B: What? [00:08:56] Speaker F: Snakes have mouth pockets. So it's not. [00:09:04] Speaker C: I don't think it's a snake thing, but I know it's an Akaji thing. [00:09:07] Speaker F: It's a snake thing. Some snakes are able to regurgitate like eggshells and stuff like that after eating a whole egg, but that's not the same thing. So it's definitely a bit of a unique anatomy. Can you show me how far you can stretch your draw by chance? [00:09:21] Speaker C: Sure. She does it. Unlocks it, unhinges it, whatever. It goes pretty far out. And then you realize that there's little like potentially more marks. I would say that if anything she has to like hold the mask up so that way you could just see how far the her jaw goes and then she goes back up. It's like the mummy. The mummy's from the mummy. It's like that. [00:09:46] Speaker F: So approximately 7 to 8 inches. I'm like writing that down as well. Like just like a loose measurement of it so it looks like your dietary doesn't really change. I would assume based on the fact that your anatomy is able to do this, you have a hypercarnivorous mouth that can accommodate that body. So I think you might have two stomachs, especially with where the body is attached. I cannot confirm it for sure. I'm not a doctor, but I think Hypothetically, you might. [00:10:16] Speaker C: Hmm. [00:10:17] Speaker F: And, like, I'm just taking notes and everything like that. It's like, can you digest vegetables and stuff? Just fine? I've been feeding them to you. So more of an inverse diet? [00:10:25] Speaker C: Yeah, no, that. That doesn't. I just prefer me. [00:10:29] Speaker F: Okay. And are you more of a constrictor type snake or a venomous type snake? [00:10:33] Speaker C: We're gonna find out. That part I don't know yet. [00:10:36] Speaker F: Oh, interesting. [00:10:37] Speaker C: Yeah, we'll just find out. [00:10:39] Speaker F: Is there a check I can make to try and figure this out, Aubrey? [00:10:43] Speaker B: No. [00:10:43] Speaker F: Okay. No. [00:10:45] Speaker C: Okay. Above. Above table. I am still considering taking venomous features which come in much further into, like, leveling. So that's what. What I mean by I don't know. [00:10:59] Speaker F: Okay. I don't know. All right. [00:11:00] Speaker C: I do have actual snake fangs, though, that I can use mechanically. So that's the thing. [00:11:08] Speaker F: Okay. And have you ever. [00:11:09] Speaker B: I was kind of tempted to make you roll because it was like, that's a lot of scientific terms that I'm not sure Niall would know. [00:11:15] Speaker F: Niall knows a lot about things. Eating. I think it is. [00:11:21] Speaker C: I love you, Senshi. [00:11:22] Speaker F: Theoretically, this is how something eats. So therefore, I'm going to make the assumption, like, if your mouth gets big and you eat a lot of stuff, therefore you probably need a second stomach for it. It's like a logical leap, I think. I don't know what makes a steak poisonous or not, though. That's why I asked. [00:11:36] Speaker C: I love you, white senshi. [00:11:40] Speaker F: I love white senshi, but I think that's mostly it. Would you prefer your meals be, like, just a larger single thing every couple of days or, like, more situational, like, just with everyone else. [00:11:53] Speaker C: Situational. I don't want to, like, gorge myself. Like, I don't. I don't know how, like, you know, comfortable that. It's definitely not comfortable to just, like, drop my mouth on the table and slide shit in, you know, so I have hands. I can. I can cut and eat. It's fine. [00:12:09] Speaker F: Yeah. I'm not particularly a snake specifically expert, but I've seen a little bit about them, and it's. It's really interesting to know how other species, like, digest food. It's especially important to know, based on biology and stuff like that. [00:12:23] Speaker B: No reason whatsoever. [00:12:28] Speaker C: Who the fuck said that? No, I'm joking. [00:12:32] Speaker F: No one. No one said that. It's fine. Don't worry about it. [00:12:35] Speaker C: It's just me. [00:12:36] Speaker F: It's just me. Dio. [00:12:39] Speaker C: Dio. Oh, goodness. [00:12:41] Speaker F: Jojo. [00:12:43] Speaker C: I think it would be hilarious if schism was, in fact, whispering. On like the rat, the one of the seven or eight mouths that you have. [00:12:51] Speaker F: I kind of wonder about Alastor's metabolism as well, simply because of what rats eat and their diet as well. But I don't like him, so I'm not gonna ask. [00:13:01] Speaker B: He can bring it up to me. [00:13:04] Speaker F: If he has problems, he can bring it up to me. I thought rats liking cheese was kind of a myth though. Not that you usually enjoy like nuts and such like that. Which has more dietary diversity. [00:13:15] Speaker C: I mean, it could be a preference. Maybe Alastor just likes cheese. [00:13:20] Speaker F: Yeah, but I also like. I personally like sweet things, but I can't live off of a diet of sweet things, you know? [00:13:28] Speaker C: Are you human? [00:13:30] Speaker F: No, not anymore. [00:13:33] Speaker B: That. [00:13:34] Speaker C: What? [00:13:37] Speaker F: Not anymore. [00:13:39] Speaker C: That's. That's alarming. [00:13:41] Speaker F: I just gesture to myself like I'm a flesh warp now. [00:13:45] Speaker C: Okay. Well, in theory, humans need to eat their omnivorous. So you could always, you know, if you're still that, then wow. And if you're not, then oof. [00:14:02] Speaker F: I found that I'm mostly carnivorous, but I can eat some vegetables as substitute stuff. Kind of like how dogs can eat lettuce and such, but don't particularly gain the best benefits out of it. [00:14:12] Speaker C: Dogs can eat. Can the Hesterhunter eat? What can the Hester hunter eat? [00:14:18] Speaker F: So the hester hunter specifically tends to eat meats and stuff like that. It's best for his diet to eat meat. However, it can sometimes have other things. Not certain things like chocolate and such as I found that dogs will die from chocolate. I don't know the full list, but there are some foods that are generally pretty safe for dogs that are not meat related. It should not be the primary diet though. [00:14:43] Speaker D: Could we say that this is happening right outside Yuri's door? [00:14:47] Speaker F: Yeah, it is funny. [00:14:48] Speaker D: Yuri opens the door and she's like, what the fuck are you two talking about? [00:14:55] Speaker F: Dietary restrictions. Wait, did I see Yuri turn into a giant stag during that battle? [00:15:00] Speaker D: Yes. [00:15:01] Speaker F: I would like to ask you a couple of questions about your stag form, if I may. [00:15:05] Speaker D: Closing the door. [00:15:07] Speaker F: Yuri, come back. Gary, please. [00:15:10] Speaker D: Locking the door. If the lock is not there, you hear a dresser being moved in front of the door. Talk to me later. [00:15:18] Speaker C: This is a good place to cut it. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Yep, exactly. Eventually you will move on and go get some sleep. You know, you can hit that long rest button again. I think most everybody should be heal that. [00:15:36] Speaker A: Can I just briefly like middle of. [00:15:41] Speaker B: The night before bed. [00:15:42] Speaker C: Whatever. [00:15:42] Speaker A: Doesn't matter when. I just want to go put the broken ram's horn from Talus's head and leave it at the little makeshift altar to the Star Mother as penance. [00:15:56] Speaker B: You can do that. [00:16:00] Speaker D: Here? [00:16:00] Speaker B: I killed something for you. [00:16:03] Speaker A: More of a I am so sorry I killed someone. I know that goes against your code. There was no mercy offered. [00:16:11] Speaker B: Didn't even think about it. You wouldn't have offered any mercy. To you? [00:16:16] Speaker A: No. I just know that's one of her anathemas is killing someone without offering them mercy. And she does worship the Star Mother, so. Good thing I'm not a cleric. [00:16:26] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a great thing that you're not a cleric, but. Yeah, no, you all get another, you know, two nights in a row, you know. No nothing wild going on. You can just sleep. No strange dreams tonight. No more dreams of figures and throne rooms and normal night. You all wake up in the actual morning this time. And have a nice breakfast before preparing to leave. Lana and Connix will show you the tunnels to Darklight Bazaar. Is there anything you need to do before you leave the district? [00:17:13] Speaker A: Did we get everything we needed from Talus Manor? [00:17:19] Speaker B: I'm sure there's more, but you. You did strip it pretty well. There are more books and of course, things. But you're coming back to this district. You're not going to leave this district for good and never return. [00:17:36] Speaker C: Could we have the information? Did we get any of the information yet? [00:17:42] Speaker B: Not yet. It'll be later in the week because it'll take the majority of the week to collect this information. [00:17:48] Speaker C: Okay, thank you. [00:17:49] Speaker B: But if you were like, trying. If you were like, we're doing a job this week, we'd do that, but they're spending the week collecting information. [00:17:56] Speaker C: Okay, that's really good to know, actually, because I thought it was like. And we'll be back tomorrow, and it's tomorrow now. [00:18:02] Speaker B: It'll be the end of the week because it'll take them some time to collect information. [00:18:08] Speaker C: So we're headed towards the Dark Lake Bazaar, right? Yep, I guess. So. This, I guess, will be said as we're moving, but not necessarily before we're in areas where we should be. Quiet. Graveling is going to speak and say. All right, so Dark Light, Dark Light Bazaar. I need to check someplace first. One, it's so I can hopefully still use it as a place to meet with the Bloody Blades. Two, if it's not compromised, then we can probably use it as a. Another safe house. And three, so I have children. [00:19:02] Speaker D: Okay. [00:19:03] Speaker C: Yeah. I just want to see how fucked up the place is. [00:19:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Do they. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Are they with someone? You've been gone for two weeks. [00:19:13] Speaker C: They are with. Yeah, they are. They are with someone. Someone. A friend of the family. I guess I just need to also check up on them. [00:19:25] Speaker A: Of course. It is your first priority. [00:19:31] Speaker E: Are they, like, little kids? Older kids? [00:19:37] Speaker C: Old, as I check ages. Because I do have that. [00:19:40] Speaker B: Yeah. You would know that. They are not in the Dark Light Bazaar. [00:19:44] Speaker C: Oh, they're not in the dark. Okay. I wasn't sure where. [00:19:47] Speaker B: They're actually on the other side of the river. Oh, okay. [00:19:52] Speaker C: Well, then I'm still going to check the place just in case if I need to move them. Yeah, one of my kids are actually on the other side of the river. They're not in the Dark Light Bazaar. But that's where we live to. I believe it's teenager, preteen, and a literal baby. [00:20:19] Speaker A: Must be so worried for you. [00:20:23] Speaker C: They're tough, so. [00:20:27] Speaker E: You fight pretty well for a new mother. [00:20:30] Speaker C: Oh, it's not my baby. [00:20:32] Speaker E: Oh, okay. [00:20:33] Speaker C: It's. It's. I have children. I just call them my kids. It's more like nieces and nephews, but still. Like, we live in the same roof, you know, so. And one of them is my son that I adopt. Okay, look, man, this. This is getting weird. Legally, son, biologically, we. [00:20:58] Speaker D: We understand. [00:20:59] Speaker B: Yes. [00:21:01] Speaker F: So we should pick up some supplies to feed some children as well, because certain ages can only eat certain foods, and I just start taking out my notebook again and start writing down. [00:21:10] Speaker E: But what if they're snake babies? [00:21:12] Speaker C: They are snake babies. [00:21:14] Speaker F: Oh, that's. [00:21:17] Speaker A: We need to find a way to get you to them immediately. [00:21:22] Speaker C: No, I need to know how compromised I am. My partners were also taken. That's their parents. I need to know how compromised we are. [00:21:34] Speaker A: Oh, goodness. [00:21:38] Speaker B: As you're having this conversation, the. Your two agents lead you to a home in sort of the. Near the end edge of the district. Closer to the walls that separate it from the rest of the city and into this house and into this basement. And like before, in the prison, once they've moved a few crates aside, you'll see the Sigil of the Fox on the wall. And touching the fox and then saying the right words causes a passageway to open up. And Lennon will turn and look at you and say, this passage will take us to an abandoned shop in Darklight. From there, we'll break off from the rest of you and get that information you're looking for. If you need anything, we can meet back at the. The abandoned shop in the evening. If not, we'll just continue working. [00:22:53] Speaker C: Sounds good. [00:22:55] Speaker D: Be safe. Get caught. You don't Know us? I know you don't need to know that, but, yeah. [00:23:06] Speaker B: This passage is a lot dustier than the last one you went through. The last one was through sewers. This is a smuggler's tunnel of some kind. Lots of dust, lots of cobwebs that you push your way through. [00:23:22] Speaker C: I thought you were going to say this one is through Dusty, because you're saying dustier, and I was like, through Dusty. [00:23:30] Speaker D: I'm an ex boss, actually. [00:23:33] Speaker B: Prize. [00:23:35] Speaker C: Oh ye. Dusty. Tarnished. [00:23:40] Speaker B: But after about probably an hour of moving through the tunnels, you find yourself coming out of an identical sort of hole in the wall in the basement of a shop. [00:23:57] Speaker C: Is the shop, like, abandoned or something? Like what? [00:24:00] Speaker B: Yeah, you grieving as somebody who spent a lot of time in the Darklight Bazaar. This is a shop that was always abandoned. No one ever bought it and turned it into anything. And you might have thought that was weird and now you kind of understand why. [00:24:11] Speaker C: Okay, set pop up graven takes a long time. Like, damn, that's. That's what this one's used for. Okay. [00:24:23] Speaker D: Know your way around here? [00:24:25] Speaker C: Oh, I do live here, so, yeah, this place has always been abandoned. I just, you know, I just thought, oh, maybe it's real shitty, like inside. I mean, kind of is, but. Perfect place to lie low. [00:24:43] Speaker D: Hasn't been cleaned in years. For who? We need to meet. Do you need to go meet someone alone to get us the meeting or. [00:24:54] Speaker C: No, no, I just need to be outside. This is a weird thing. I. Or I. I don't know if it's a weird thing, but yeah, I just need to be outside, then do my thing and then that's how it gets set up. [00:25:14] Speaker B: Yeah, we wait with you. [00:25:16] Speaker E: Do we need to go over there? [00:25:18] Speaker C: I don't know. You can do what you want. I just need open air, no walls. [00:25:25] Speaker B: Are you also going to go check out the shop? [00:25:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:31] Speaker B: North Star Armory. [00:25:33] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely. I'm going to try and see if I can set up the meeting there too. My issue is like, you know, I would like to do this and then head straight over to actually see what it's like, but I want to get this set up first just because it's like. Yeah. So when we get outside and it's open, open air, I'm gonna use my. What the is it called? Sorry, My whisper on the. The wind feet. Basically, I can cast message and it goes with the range of now 1 mile. And if I say the person's name who I want the message to go to, only they can hear it. It Kind of gets whatever my words get, like grabbed by the wind and it goes sort of. So I'm just going to. I'm going to look around. I'm going to look around where it won't be strange to basically do what I'm about to do. Find a corner or something. Or maybe even like. I don't know if I could. If this building had like two levels or something, I might even go like up to the second level and open a window. You know. [00:26:53] Speaker B: As you do that, you go up to the second level and open a window, something immediately just strikes you as strange about the bizarre. Usually around this time, early morning especially, the bazaar should be filled with people doing shopping, seeing whatever's going on. It's not quiet, but there's a lot less activity than there usually is in the bazaar. And it definitely strikes you as strange. [00:27:29] Speaker C: I take note of that. So I can point it out to the group later. [00:27:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:36] Speaker C: Then I cast message. Basically, Mom Bravewing is gonna just kind of awkwardly reach her hand out of the window to kind of feel the air move. She kind of focuses on that. Focuses if there's wind, if there's a breeze, if not just on the air, its. And just kind of goes. It's been a while, but on my authority, Lorelei, I've been compromised, but I'm back and I need a meeting with the Blades. You know where to meet me. I'll be there tonight. If you're not there, I'll be there tomorrow night. And then I move my hand away, put it down. And I kind of know that my words have been taken. Yeah, it is the message spell. I don't. Oh, it does actually show up on my thing. The target can give a brief response if they want to. Oh, no. Damn. But they have to see me to do it. I don't need to see them at all. Like, I. I don't. Yeah, they have to see me. [00:29:10] Speaker B: Never mind. Yeah, you've sent your message. [00:29:17] Speaker C: Unless y'all were with me, I come back downstairs and be like, all right, it's done. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:23] Speaker D: What now? [00:29:25] Speaker C: Oh, now we're going to go to my shop. It's not my shop, my brother in law shop. It's my home though, so. [00:29:34] Speaker D: All right, lead the way. [00:29:39] Speaker C: It's also too quiet outside. [00:29:45] Speaker D: Where? As a bazaar. Right. [00:29:48] Speaker C: It's quiet way more than usual. Give it an hour or two. It should be peak noise, but I don't know. It's too quiet. [00:30:04] Speaker E: I guess. When in Rome, we should also go quietly. [00:30:09] Speaker D: What's wrong? [00:30:10] Speaker B: Speaking of, should need stealth checks from everyone. [00:30:16] Speaker C: What's Rome? [00:30:21] Speaker B: I think I'd like to think Alastair spends a lot of time thinking about Rome for some reason. [00:30:27] Speaker C: Alistair's Roman Empire. Oh, gosh. [00:30:34] Speaker F: Man, do I gotta be stealthy? I'm just a little guy. I'm just a little guy, you know? [00:30:42] Speaker C: Is Niall also from Dark Light? Yes. Right. [00:30:45] Speaker F: I am from the Dark Knight Bazaar. Yeah, I. I just been sitting here, like. Yeah, it is really quiet. Anyways, this is usually my grocery shopping. [00:30:55] Speaker C: Nile's too busy thinking about anatomy. [00:31:01] Speaker A: What do baby snakes eat? [00:31:03] Speaker F: No, I'm thinking about how I can get a book because it's like, there's got to be books about different baby foods for different species. I have to find a book like that so I can make proper meals for them. Like, there's got to be something I can find. Right, that's good. [00:31:13] Speaker A: We can go back to the bookstore. I'm sure they had baby books in there. [00:31:20] Speaker E: I used a roll for Alistair, So that's a 21. [00:31:25] Speaker F: I'm very stealthy. I'm simply clunky. [00:31:29] Speaker B: I just rolled point. [00:31:31] Speaker D: I got a one on my first roll, so I put that dice away. [00:31:36] Speaker C: Dang, dang, dang. [00:31:37] Speaker A: 24, 17. [00:31:40] Speaker B: 24, 24, 21. [00:31:43] Speaker A: Here. [00:31:44] Speaker B: 20. [00:31:45] Speaker F: I'm not 16. Sadly, I'm not very stealthy. [00:31:52] Speaker B: You all sort of get the feeling that something just feels off as you're moving. Luckily, Gravewing and Niall know the district pretty well, so you're able to kind of keep to side streets and alleyways as you quietly move in the district. You do notice both of both Gravewing and Niall. There are so many more guards that may have something to do with it, but also you pass the circus that just two weeks ago was a bright and vibrant spot of light in the district. And it's still there, but it seems to have lost some color, lost that vibrancy. The tents are still up, but you. And you still see all of the wagons, but you don't see any people. [00:32:55] Speaker C: Something's going on. [00:33:03] Speaker F: Do we think this happened within the past week? Is. [00:33:10] Speaker B: You honestly unsure? It's been two weeks since you've been here. [00:33:14] Speaker C: Are there any maybe, like, posters or something up? [00:33:20] Speaker B: If you want to see if there's any posters? Give me a perception check. Currently, this is just what you just notice as you are, like, quickly moving past. [00:33:28] Speaker F: Yeah, I'm debating using object reading on, like, the tent or something of note, just because then I'd be able to potentially know what happened if it happened last week instead of last. [00:33:37] Speaker B: Unfortunately, the tent is very far away currently. You're just sort of noticing this as you're passing. [00:33:43] Speaker F: Okay, I touched the dirt. Okay. [00:33:47] Speaker B: What is your role graveling? [00:33:49] Speaker C: I'm like, I used a hero point. And honest to God, that's 19 on the desk. 25. We just. Yeah. My dice is like. Yeah. [00:34:01] Speaker B: There are posted notices near the circus that the circus is closed permanently and to. And that the area is. What is the word I'm looking for? Not necessarily under control, but under watch of the Holy blood. [00:34:29] Speaker C: Ah, these rat bastards. I. I gotta think of a different word. [00:34:34] Speaker F: My bad. [00:34:34] Speaker C: Alastair. Holy blood has this place under watch. Nile, the circus is closed. [00:34:47] Speaker F: I love the circus. [00:34:49] Speaker C: Same. Well, we better keep going. Hate cops. Mod mom is going to basically be doing a parental mumble about how they are complaining about things. [00:35:07] Speaker F: Yeah, we're complaining about how the circus is close to each other. Like, I really want to see this performance. This guy was so cool. Just like mumbling about it and being cross. If we do need more specific. If we do need more specific information, I can try to read the object of importance that might have been there for whatever happened. [00:35:28] Speaker C: Let's do that after. [00:35:30] Speaker A: Mm. [00:35:30] Speaker C: Mm. [00:35:31] Speaker B: You will have to sneak into the circus grounds, which are being watched, to do that. [00:35:37] Speaker F: Yeah. Okay. Like, I'm not sure if the post would give us any information, but I think it's like, the more important objects. I'd have to see if I could find something. [00:35:45] Speaker C: Maybe we can sneak in or something after. [00:35:49] Speaker B: Eventually you find your way to the Tristan. Well, you find your way to the shop. [00:35:57] Speaker C: Yeah, it's the Northstar Armaments. [00:36:00] Speaker B: North Star Armaments. Yep. And the building itself is dark if you want to notice anything particular about it. I'm going to need perception checks. 1818. As you approach. There doesn't currently appear to be any lights on in here, but as you approach, you notice that someone has picked the lock recently. You can kind of see scratches where someone who's maybe not the. The most expert thief as his pick the lock. [00:36:44] Speaker C: Is it like, did they get in? Is it unlocked? [00:36:51] Speaker B: Or if you pull on the door or anything, the door does not. It does appear to be locked currently. [00:36:58] Speaker C: Okay, so it's either they got in and then locked it on the way out, or they didn't get in. Now here's a very good question. Did we hide a key or do I also now have to ask Leith to pick the lock for me? Because there's no way that I have the key on me. Everything was taken. So. [00:37:22] Speaker B: I will ask. Do you think you would hide a key? [00:37:27] Speaker C: Now, I'm going to ask you, ask you. Do you think Tristan would I need a key? It's not my shop. Technically. I would have totally. [00:37:36] Speaker B: I think he would. [00:37:39] Speaker C: It's under one of these rocks and it's a pebble stone. Roach. [00:37:43] Speaker B: Well, no, I think it's a, I think it's like a fake brick or like a brick in the wall, you know, that's, that's loose. [00:37:49] Speaker C: It has to be rock related because he's oried and you see moth. You see moth. Mom kind of start touching all the little bricks area because she does not remember. She knows it's one of them, but she doesn't know exactly which one. She's. So she's wiggling everything until I eventually, hopefully find it. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Yeah, it takes you a couple, couple of minutes. [00:38:12] Speaker D: Do you need help? [00:38:14] Speaker C: Yeah, just start wiggling the bricks, please. [00:38:17] Speaker D: Okay. [00:38:18] Speaker C: One of them is loose, has a key. I just, I, I, I usually have my own, you know, but I don't know because, because we were in jail, I'm still wiggling. [00:38:38] Speaker D: And then we find it. [00:38:39] Speaker B: Yeah, you, you generally know the vague area that it's in and eventually one of you does find. [00:38:46] Speaker C: Should we roll to find it? [00:38:48] Speaker B: Yeah, let's everybody roll. Just the D20. Whoever rolls highest has found it. [00:38:53] Speaker C: Can I watch? [00:38:54] Speaker B: Wow. [00:38:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:56] Speaker B: You give me a perception check. [00:38:57] Speaker A: Is it magic? [00:39:00] Speaker C: You want to laugh? Not one. I don't. I'm not the one who finds it. I'm wiggling everything like, oh, shit. [00:39:08] Speaker B: No, but it is not magic. [00:39:11] Speaker F: Okay, I got a nine. So I don't think I'm opening it. [00:39:16] Speaker C: The way moth mom would be here all day trying to get back in. 24. [00:39:21] Speaker A: 24 on a D20. [00:39:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, we're just rolling a D20. [00:39:32] Speaker A: So I got. [00:39:33] Speaker B: Sorry, sorry, sorry. [00:39:33] Speaker C: I thought it was perception. [00:39:34] Speaker F: My bad. [00:39:35] Speaker B: No, Leith is doing a perception check just to keep watch. You watch, nothing really happens. You watch a bunch of people go to and from work and some people shopping. And Yuri, you're the one who eventually finds it. After a couple of minutes. Find the loose brick and the very nice key behind it. [00:40:00] Speaker D: There you go. [00:40:02] Speaker C: Thank you. You take it, you put the brick back, but slightly loose so we know where it is to put the key back there eventually. Unlock go in. [00:40:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:16] Speaker C: Is my place trashed? [00:40:19] Speaker B: Actually, no. [00:40:20] Speaker C: Oh, thank God. [00:40:25] Speaker B: Graven, give me a perception check. [00:40:28] Speaker C: I'm gonna use another hero. Point of that. Mizdice is tired of giving me 19s. That's 19 adjacent. So I think that's 22. Yeah. 22. [00:40:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:47] Speaker C: You. [00:40:48] Speaker B: You hear of. You hear a voice somewhere in the shop. They. They're not speaking very loudly. It's like almost they're speaking to thems to psych themselves up for something. And you hear the voice saying a point and squeeze. Squeeze. Squeeze the trigger. Squeeze, squeeze. [00:41:11] Speaker C: I'm gonna just. I'm put a finger to my. To my lips and a finger up so y'all know to shut up. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to that. But as a descriptor for what y'all see inside, this is a gun store. [00:41:30] Speaker D: Hello. [00:41:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:31] Speaker B: And most of the merchandise does seem to be untouched. [00:41:37] Speaker C: Don't worry, Yuri. This is your day. Don't worry, don't worry. I got you. [00:41:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Are you trying to approach this stealthily? [00:41:51] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll try that. [00:41:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:53] Speaker B: Give me a stealthy. [00:41:53] Speaker C: In theory. In theory, they might have a gun, So I should. 16. [00:42:00] Speaker B: 16. Yeah. You get the drop on this person. You see this half elf girl with this mousy brown hair, kind of like hiding behind the counter, kind of like clutching one of these pistols and trying to psych herself up. It's Juniper. [00:42:24] Speaker C: Juniper. [00:42:27] Speaker B: Holy. Oh. Oh, okay. Yo, God, it's you. It's only you. Oh, God, thank you. [00:42:35] Speaker C: It's. [00:42:35] Speaker A: It's. [00:42:35] Speaker C: Well, it's me and some other people, but we're not here to hurt you, actually. Wait, how'd you get. How'd you. How did you get in here? Nobody was here to let you in. I pick the lock and lock the door. [00:42:52] Speaker B: Yeah. A couple of days. [00:42:57] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, okay. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. This is fine. I'm glad you're alive. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Kill me. [00:43:05] Speaker C: Oh, what? More, More. [00:43:09] Speaker B: I ran this time. [00:43:12] Speaker C: I'll give you a gun your size because there's no way you're shooting that and not getting hurt. [00:43:17] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I can build a gun, but I can't really say I ever shot one. [00:43:25] Speaker C: Well, can help me practice. I'm not the best with it, but there's got to be something here to help you with that. Team, this is Juniper. Juniper, I made a cure for the. [00:43:44] Speaker E: Oh, hi, Juniper. I could have really used that two days ago. [00:43:50] Speaker B: You seem fine. [00:43:53] Speaker E: Feeling much better now, but glad that there's a cure. [00:43:56] Speaker D: Glad to see your life. [00:43:58] Speaker A: It's a pleasure to meet you. [00:44:01] Speaker D: That too. [00:44:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:03] Speaker F: How old is this person? Is this, like, a child? [00:44:06] Speaker B: No, they're in their, like, mid-20s. They're an adult. [00:44:09] Speaker F: They sound like they have anxiety, so I wasn't sure. I'm gonna look at them and just say. You sound like you have anxiety. [00:44:17] Speaker B: I do. It comes from my professor kidnapping me when I was in school. [00:44:25] Speaker D: Oh yeah, that will do it to. [00:44:27] Speaker A: You if that makes you feel better. [00:44:31] Speaker D: That school. [00:44:33] Speaker B: That does make me feel better actually. [00:44:37] Speaker F: I don't think that'll fix your anxiety though. But it's a start. [00:44:41] Speaker D: G's going to look at Lou. They get kidnapped at that school. Maybe it's good you didn't go. [00:44:48] Speaker A: Sure. [00:44:49] Speaker C: Well, have you seen anybody else in here? Come in here, try to come in here. [00:44:57] Speaker B: Occasionally people I guess try to come and pick up to the shop, Visit to the shop. Two people have like tugged on the door in the past three days I've been here. [00:45:10] Speaker C: Okay, that's fine. I'm gonna check further into my house but I'm assuming the only thing I might find might be like couple dirty clothes and missing food, right? [00:45:27] Speaker B: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. [00:45:29] Speaker C: That's fine. I'm gonna go. Oh, sorry. Yeah, go ahead. [00:45:34] Speaker B: You said if anything happened to come here, so that's what I did. [00:45:37] Speaker C: No, no, you're right. I just apologies for not being here. I got arrested. [00:45:44] Speaker B: It's okay. I'm glad to see you're out now. [00:45:56] Speaker D: Yuri's gonna look at her as Crave Wing walks away and look how she's holding the guns like have you ever shot one? [00:46:07] Speaker B: No. I am, I've built them but I've never shot them. [00:46:13] Speaker D: That's okay. I mean that's very okay. You should maybe learn since people are trying to kill you. [00:46:27] Speaker B: Yeah, my thing was always bombs. [00:46:33] Speaker D: Interesting, interesting. You built the weapons here? [00:46:40] Speaker B: No, I just did have. I guess it was whoever owned the shop. [00:46:44] Speaker D: Okay, okay, well I'm going to brave. [00:46:47] Speaker C: Wing from, from across the room, my brother in law. [00:46:50] Speaker D: Oh, okay, cool, cool, cool. I'm going to peruse. [00:46:54] Speaker C: Feel free. I'll give you something. [00:46:58] Speaker D: I'm looking Juniper again. I'll teach you maybe like because you they're going to like gingerly like grab it. It's like your finger is in the wrong place. You may accidentally shoot yourself. [00:47:13] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, just kind of lets you take it and it's just like. I'm gonna go sit over there. [00:47:20] Speaker D: Yeah. Put the gun down. [00:47:22] Speaker F: Have you eaten today? [00:47:23] Speaker D: The other guns? [00:47:26] Speaker B: I. Today is what day of the week again? [00:47:34] Speaker A: This is such a great question. [00:47:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I, I went and bought some bread and cheese. [00:47:45] Speaker F: No vegetables. [00:47:47] Speaker B: I don't have that kind of money. [00:47:50] Speaker F: We have some preserve. I take out the, some of the preserved vegetables. I'm like here, these are important vitamins for a Person. [00:47:59] Speaker B: Thanks. [00:48:01] Speaker F: Eat them. [00:48:03] Speaker B: Okay. [00:48:04] Speaker F: I'm staring directly at this woman as she goes. [00:48:07] Speaker B: And, like, you notice, like, she's kind of, like, taking over one of the, like, the workspaces in the back. Gravewing. Like, you'll notice that you see some of the same drawings and designs that you saw in her home two weeks ago. She's been replicating them on the here. [00:48:30] Speaker C: And I'm assuming, just like she said, nothing. Nothing else has been really moved or touched besides, you know, again, maybe couple change of clothes and food. [00:48:41] Speaker B: Yeah, it really seems like they. I mean, you're pretty sure that he put it under a fake name when he bought the place. So it's just. [00:48:55] Speaker C: So this place is basically safe. [00:48:58] Speaker B: Yes. [00:49:00] Speaker C: Awesome safe house potential, y'all. [00:49:02] Speaker B: It's potentially a safe house. Yes. [00:49:05] Speaker C: And we have guns and plumbing. It's not the best plumbing, but it's plumbing. The only water you get is cold. [00:49:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:16] Speaker C: And the water pressure sucks, but it's plumbing. We got a bunch. We got, like, two separate buckets in the bathroom. One is specifically so you have to, like, put water in the toilet. And the other one is to bathe. [00:49:32] Speaker D: Well, that's good. Don't know how safe this area is yet. It doesn't seem safe. [00:49:39] Speaker C: I don't think. I mean, safe house, potentially. If we ever keep coming. If we keep coming back here, we have somewhere to see. [00:49:48] Speaker D: Only entrance. [00:49:51] Speaker C: I mean, we got windows, actually. Buff table. Do we have a back? [00:49:56] Speaker B: Like, essentially the way that, like, especially at Dark Life Bazaar is like, a lot of it is built on, like, a grid where there's. Essentially, like. There is. There's usually, like, a back door to most places, because most places just put their trash out back. Somebody will come collect it, all that stuff. [00:50:15] Speaker C: I think if we wanted to really stay safe, we might have to run this shop like normal. Yes. Recruit a few people and just pretend until I can find my people. [00:50:30] Speaker B: Who else you could run the shop? Juniper. [00:50:32] Speaker C: Juniper. [00:50:33] Speaker F: Yeah. True. Yeah. Can I also look at Mothball and be like, where are the babies? [00:50:40] Speaker C: Oh, they're not here. Left them across the river with a family friend. [00:50:45] Speaker F: Okay. [00:50:46] Speaker C: It would suck entirely if they were left here. [00:50:51] Speaker F: Very fair. It doesn't look like Juniper knows how to make a meal to save her own life. Bread and cheese. [00:50:58] Speaker B: Revolting cook. Just money. Money. [00:51:05] Speaker C: If people are trying to kill you actively and then attack you twice in your home, you're not exactly gonna, like, bring all your valuables with you when you run. [00:51:17] Speaker F: But still, potatoes are pretty affordable. [00:51:22] Speaker C: I'm starting to. [00:51:23] Speaker B: Not a vegetable. Yes. [00:51:25] Speaker F: They are. [00:51:27] Speaker D: There is starch. [00:51:29] Speaker F: Potatoes have some nutrients compared to bread and cheese. Potatoes. Hold on. [00:51:34] Speaker D: Actually, bread and cheese have more nutrients than potatoes. Yeah, potatoes aren't real nutritionally dense whatsoever. [00:51:42] Speaker A: They're both culinary category and not actually. [00:51:46] Speaker F: The main nutrients in potatoes is vitamin C, Which. And vitamin B6 it actually has. And potassium. So it does have some good nutrients compared to that. Like breads have more carbs. Don't. Shut the. Up, all of you. [00:52:03] Speaker D: No, you're talking to people who cook all the time. We know this. [00:52:06] Speaker B: Shut up. [00:52:07] Speaker F: Potatoes provide good nutrients to add on top of bread and cheese. Just toss it. A raw potato and you're fine. [00:52:13] Speaker C: Yeah, but if you don't have money, steal it. [00:52:16] Speaker F: No, I'm kidding. [00:52:18] Speaker D: Do I find a. Is there like. Is there like a. Is there like a long shooter, a sharpshooter, like a long rifle that Yuri could take and borrow? [00:52:27] Speaker B: Yeah, there's probably an Aquabus. [00:52:31] Speaker D: I think during all this, Yuri would be kind of like looking around. Pick one up. Look at Moss, mom. [00:52:39] Speaker C: Yeah, he's not gonna bitch about it if he does. Well, he has to get here first. [00:52:48] Speaker D: I want to grab the ammo with that. Gonna kind of like look it all through. Kind of like doing like the take apart, putting it back together again. [00:52:57] Speaker E: This is a lot of guns. [00:52:59] Speaker C: Yeah, he. I keep saying he. My brother in law dabbles tinkers, does stuff like that. So he made these. [00:53:11] Speaker B: That's a question for you, Gravewing. Would you have kept like, I don't know, a spare costume here? [00:53:19] Speaker C: Hear me out. I don't think so. I genuine. I genuinely don't. I think there are parts of maybe an old costume and what like. Okay, Gravely would not be. Doesn't spend money on herself, especially with three children now. So if anything, I don't think she has like an exact costume at all. But like, I think pieces. I think she has a better mask. I think she. She definitely has glasses here because when she. She doesn't wear this outfit all the time and when she is going undercover, she wears like tinted glasses to kind of obscure the eyes and then she wears something else to cover the face. So. So she has things like that here so she can actually. She can actually just wear better clothes and then maybe bring better clothes with her as well. Everything's just a little bit better and sized appropriately for her. [00:54:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:21] Speaker E: Question, Aki or Aubrey, does he have any lower tech weapons, like short bows for hunting perhaps? Or is it all just gun shop? [00:54:35] Speaker B: It is a gun shop. [00:54:37] Speaker E: Just checking. That's what I figured do you want this? [00:54:42] Speaker D: And they're gonna do a pistol. No. Is that not too long back? Oh, yeah, Yeah. I can't. [00:54:52] Speaker C: Like. [00:54:52] Speaker E: Do you see the size of these ears? [00:54:55] Speaker D: That's, you know, just so fair. Maybe don't stand as close when I'm about to fight. [00:55:05] Speaker C: I think. Is there anything else that would be here. But I'm like, I don't think so. I don't think I have gear, you know, and the. And the best thing I think we would have are, in fact, the guns, the gun shop. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Bedrooms. There might be, like, little bits of small tech, like. Or, like, various modifications for guns and things to make. Make stuff. [00:55:35] Speaker C: I was gonna say we could make bullets here. [00:55:37] Speaker B: You definitely can make bullets here. And there's also. Yeah, there's. There's a. There's like, a forge to make bullets here. There's more like a bullet. Brass. Guess. I don't know. However you make bullets. [00:55:48] Speaker C: Well, Tristan also makes other things, so him having, like, a small. Like a mini forge makes sense. He made a brace slit. Yeah. Moth mom will bring that up. Just like there is a mini forge here. So we can make. It's not crazy, but we got some stuff and space to do it. [00:56:10] Speaker B: Yeah, you kind of officially have your second is safe house. [00:56:18] Speaker C: Third, if we count the clock tower. [00:56:21] Speaker B: Mm. I'm also not sure you want to count the mansion as a safe house, because you may want to have one space that's not you that can't be directly tied back to you as part of a rebellion. [00:56:32] Speaker D: That's fair. [00:56:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:35] Speaker D: We don't want the place we sleep to have all that. [00:56:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:40] Speaker B: Especially a place that's public. [00:56:44] Speaker C: True, true. Baby steps. Baby steps. [00:56:46] Speaker A: Yes. [00:56:46] Speaker F: Our favorite safe house. The local library. [00:56:50] Speaker C: Baby steps. [00:56:53] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you have a little bit of time to kill before gravewing. You might figure out if Lorelai got your message. [00:57:07] Speaker A: I would like to interrogate Juniper. [00:57:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:12] Speaker A: Nicely, I think. Yeah. While folks are looking around at guns and talking about forges and stuff, Leif will just sort of sidle up to her and say. So you've come up with a cure for the ghoul fever. [00:57:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I. When I was at Ravenswood, I actually. I helped Talis with a lot of things, and I came across his formula for ghoul fever. I have a really good memory despite several instances of head trauma, and it took me a while to reverse engineer it, and eventually I think I have something that works. I haven't gotten to test it, but I'm 99.99% sure it works. [00:58:09] Speaker A: How is it administered. [00:58:13] Speaker B: Through in aerosol. She will pull out. It looks very similar to the same things that Talis had for his bombs, these sort of cartridges, and says, I based this off of a design from his books, a way to. Because this is how the. The disease itself was spread in the beginning, through these cartridges of aerosolized ghoul fever. And if enough people were exposed to this, it would theoretically vaccinate everyone. [00:58:51] Speaker A: Are you interested in testing it? [00:58:55] Speaker B: I mean, sure. [00:58:57] Speaker A: Can you make more? [00:58:59] Speaker B: Yes, especially if I have space to work and access to equipment. The ingredients are always going to be the hardest part, but I should have enough for a couple of doses for sure. [00:59:15] Speaker A: If you had access to his work, would that be helpful? [00:59:21] Speaker B: It would be incredibly helpful. I'm working completely off of memory. If I had access to any of his journals, I could. I understand his shorthand. Yeah. Lou reaches into her bag, pulls out. [00:59:35] Speaker A: Both of the journals that she took from the house. [00:59:39] Speaker B: Oh, this is wonderful. Thank you. This will definitely help me. And anything in this book, I can work on doing a translation for you. So if there's anything that you think is important in the book. I mean, even before the whole kidnapping and attempting to murder and spreading a plague, he was a brilliant alchemist. He is responsible for a lot of what we understand about how monster anatomy works. So, I mean, there's gotta be something in there that's helpful. [01:00:19] Speaker A: Whatever you want. I mean, if we can use a dose you already have, we can clear out his manor and you could have a workspace. I mean, if we draw enough attention to the ghouls in the district, maybe we could get a concentration sort of mass cure them. [01:00:42] Speaker B: I think, honestly, anyone who's been infected that long will just die. Whatever. The disease has probably ravaged them too much, but, I mean, it's worth a shot. [01:00:54] Speaker A: Well, at least they'd be gone if they can't be saved. [01:00:58] Speaker B: It's just true, because currently, the way we understand ghoul fever, it works in, like, four stages, and then at the end of stage four, you're dead and you become a ghoul. It's just like a fever that becomes incredibly worse, and then you just, you. [01:01:12] Speaker A: Know, Leith sort of rubs at where Talus stabbed her with the unknown thing. [01:01:23] Speaker B: Exactly. And we'll prattle on, and she'll flip through some of the books and start pointing out things in them. Specifically, she does get to a point where it mentions the person eating, consuming light, and that kind of gives her pause and says, I should check on them. I haven't talked to them. In a while. Should make sure they're okay. [01:02:01] Speaker A: Another of Talas students? [01:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah, Pharo. They were like a protege. I don't know too much about the whole eating light thing. That is new to me. [01:02:22] Speaker A: Imagine curing ghoul fever and not being the protege. That's pretty impressive, Juniper. [01:02:34] Speaker B: Thanks. [01:02:37] Speaker A: But they this far, you don't. Do you think that they are still working with Talis? [01:02:46] Speaker B: Not as far as I'm aware. They were one of the ones that saved me from him along with the rest of my friends. We all kind of lost touch. [01:03:11] Speaker A: Laith sort of glances over to Lou, who I assume is also here, like listening to the translations of these books. Well, it's a good time to reconnect with people. Oh, yes, that's true. We are maybe going to be going other places. If you have contact information, we could try to get in contact with them for you or at least send out a message. No promises, because we're sort of under difficult circumstances, but we do have new friends. So. [01:04:04] Speaker B: I mean, I'll think about it lately now. [01:04:14] Speaker A: All right. [01:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah, they. They sort of seem to be lost in thought as they are just also like one of my friends also joined the unbroken. They don't say that part out loud, but, you know, they're definitely thinking that. And then one of them was a child of a lamplighter. They say none of this part out loud, but their face certainly loud. And eventually get to late afternoon, early evening and question Gravewing. Do you think this place has like the bell above the door? [01:04:56] Speaker C: I think front door does have the bell above it, which is why I most likely had to stealth to open it slowly. Back door does not, that's for sure. [01:05:11] Speaker B: Yeah, the door opens, you hear the bell ring. I think you. Did you lock it behind you? [01:05:22] Speaker C: No, because I don't think we had a chance to. And even then, this is a shock. So, yeah, if a motherfucker was like, oh, finally you're open, I could take it away. You know what I mean? [01:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No one shows up to buy anything. But sort of early evening, the bell rings and two people walk in. One is. They're both wearing dark colors like they want to be avoided. And one elven woman with long blonde hair pulled back into a braid. And then in the other is a woman in a mask. You don't see much. Her outfit kind of keeps. Goes all the way down to her wrists and her hands are covered by gloves. She has long dark black hair and wears a harlequin mask and says. [01:06:32] Speaker D: I. [01:06:33] Speaker B: Believe you were expecting me. And I believe that's where we'll end it. [01:06:40] Speaker A: Boo. [01:06:44] Speaker D: Not Harley Quinn. [01:06:50] Speaker B: Take us out.
