[00:00:00] Speaker A: Sam.
Waking up dreaming dark so long I cannot find meaning hold my hand let me stay by your side through this never ending night I can feel it now it holds me all the these demons always roam me in this red light because me he is reaching out consuming.
[00:01:30] Speaker B: Everybody. Welcome back to Gobble of Gays. I'm Aubrey, your gm. I'll tell my players to introduce themselves, who they are they're playing and we'll get rolling into things.

[00:02:05] Speaker D: Hello, I'm Dusty. I use they he pronouns. Name playing eu Formerly Moran, still a problem, just angrier now they are blood hunter Nephilim problem.
Just.
Just trying to fix things even though it's all bad. They also use they he pronouns.

[00:03:20] Speaker B: So what happened last time?
[00:03:23] Speaker A: Last week we had an episode, the end.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. We got the. We got the murder of Alice Moran that happened, which was important.
Yeah, that's where we started. The episode was with the murder.
We had a little un.
Interesting little carting of a corpse around town in a trash can.
Don't worry about it, it's fine. But the corpse was gathered and stuff was stolen from the house and Juniper and Lou had a conversation and we burned a body and that was pretty much it. That was the extent of the episode.
The details are what the episode are for.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: You listen to it hopefully.
Step of an episode to come in as your first one.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: I would also Suggest the ones before last time as well. Like, if we're gonna be a suggestion, I would start at 1. And work your way up to this one. Exactly. Otherwise you're gonna be real confused real fast.
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Speaking of, there are a few days left in this week, and the problems with Johnny certainly aren't getting easier.
So at some point, you will find yourself in the meeting room in the Wollstonecraft Manor sketching up a plan.
[00:05:04] Speaker C: Okay, really quickly, for memory sake.
We already know. We've established. We already know where he. His location is, where his main location is. Can you please say it again?
[00:05:22] Speaker B: Yes, this is the Silver Fox. The brothel.
[00:05:26] Speaker C: Thank you.
Because my ass was like, it's salvation, bro. Yes, but like, oh, that's an area. You know? Like, I knew it was a place there, but for some reason, I decided to do the thing that we do sometimes, you know, like cresa. Cresa. Vloggers. Vloggers. Salvation. Real salvation Row. Like, that's how I had it in my head. And I know it's wrong this time around. The only time we've done that is with the blades and the bloody blades.
Those assholes. Like, can you imagine the blades. Trademark.
[00:05:56] Speaker A: It's.
It's there.
[00:05:59] Speaker C: I bet you there's a little T on their logo.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: Copyrighted.
[00:06:03] Speaker C: Oh, my God, my days.
[00:06:05] Speaker A: What is the bloody blades gonna do about it? They're the. The underground org.
[00:06:10] Speaker B: Vandalism. At it again.
[00:06:12] Speaker C: I'm telling. I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, if I was. If I was a part of the blades and. And I had to be, like, really evil, that's exactly what I would do. I would trademark our thing and steal their uniforms.
Horrible.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: Other things, you know, is that there is a price on Lorelai's head.
So he won't. He wants her dead or alive.
[00:06:46] Speaker A: Did not seem like he was super interested in the alive component, just based off of past behaviors, I think.
[00:06:55] Speaker F: I think he wants our lives so he can do it himself, you know.
[00:06:58] Speaker E: I mean, to be fair, you know, it's a lot easier to capture people dead.
Like, we can't judge his ambivalence based on the actions of the people that.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: Are.
[00:07:11] Speaker E: Trying to capture her.
[00:07:13] Speaker C: Also, we have.
By we, I mean Lorelei and the bugs.
We have killed him before, so I feel if anything, you'll be a little bit more cautious and not carry about, like, dead or alive, you know, like, we can swing it. That'd be kind of nice.
Can make a big event.
[00:07:37] Speaker F: Yeah, we can bring chips to the execution of Rearwood event. You know, Or Lorelei, technically. Also Lorelei Button, catering for the execution.
[00:07:46] Speaker C: He would throw a big ass party to kill me.
[00:07:50] Speaker E: Snacks to an execution. You'd be better off with a burning because then you could do s'. Mores.
[00:07:57] Speaker F: That's. That's not. That's not how that works.
[00:08:00] Speaker C: That's exactly how it works. What do you mean?
[00:08:03] Speaker A: Jesus.
Right? So anyway.
[00:08:09] Speaker D: Are we currently like planning right now?
[00:08:13] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:08:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:15] Speaker C: Who is invited to the planning here? Okay, this is important because a lot of we are in the Wollstonecraft Manor, so is like a minimum, like eight other NPCs.
We just kept bringing people back to the Wolfs and Craft Manor, so now it's like everybody here, you know?
Yeah, exactly. Nadia was here for a little bit. I don't know if Nadia stayed here. I think she did.
We just have a lot of extra people here. That's not a bad thing. It's just. Did we invite them or did we.
[00:08:47] Speaker G: Go stay in the room?
[00:08:50] Speaker A: You go to your room and you stay there. Think about what you've done.
[00:08:54] Speaker D: Why wouldn't we want them involved in this? Like, at this point, like, if we want someone to just lay low. Yes. We'll just like, say lay low. But maybe they're just here so they know where not to lay low at.
I don't think we should include anyone.
[00:09:09] Speaker A: Do we want them part of the planning?
[00:09:12] Speaker D: Exactly.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: How wide spread do we want the planning information to be?
I would imagine we want less people to know the plan if they're not actively involved in it.
[00:09:24] Speaker D: What if we get the bitch that can't die?
I think that's a good person to have.
[00:09:30] Speaker C: Rook is actively here with us because we rock them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like again, Rook, Juniper, Vittorio, Nadia, Lorelei. That's minimum five, right? And then fucking whiskey comes in and out. All we have to do is apparently think about him now and he'll show up.
[00:09:48] Speaker D: No, we need a forum.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: Shots we not for. That's a you issue. That's not a me issue. All I have to do is think up issue.
[00:09:58] Speaker A: That's desperate you thing.
Okay, we can just say we're in the library. If we decide in the course of planning, we need other people to be involved. We could be like, hey, come to the library individual and they can show up.
[00:10:11] Speaker B: We'll start this off by saying all of you plus Lorelai are in this planning meeting. And if you need other people to come in and have ideas, we'll say they come in.
[00:10:22] Speaker A: We'll call them as we need them. Till then, let's keep it tight and. And in close knit.
We just got rid of one mole. Let's not be throw all caution to the wind.
[00:10:33] Speaker D: I think looking at this, I imagine we have a table. We have a crudely drawn picture of what's their face, Jack?
Poorly drawn, I would even say on purpose.
And I think Yuri is going to say so what if we did? Instead of we have Lorelais in three different places.
We all disguise ourselves as Lorelei and get turned in.
[00:11:05] Speaker F: I think you'd fall for a lot of Lore lives.
[00:11:07] Speaker C: No, that would be.
No, that I don't even think he'd accept that many lower lies. I think he just.
[00:11:17] Speaker D: Well, it would cause chaos. And that's easy to surprise someone with.
[00:11:24] Speaker A: Thought process that he won't know that they are all being cut at once and we all arrive simultaneously and he's surprised by the influx of Lorelei suddenly.
[00:11:36] Speaker D: I didn't think that far ahead.
[00:11:37] Speaker A: I was hoping we were killed on the way there.
Look, listen.
[00:11:45] Speaker C: Johnny thrives off of chaos.
We as a group are relatively chaotic.
He is much worse.
He makes all of your exes. I'm gesturing to Yuri and whatever the fuck these two have going on. And I gesture to Leith and Lou. Look, honestly, extremely civil.
[00:12:13] Speaker G: I mean the real Lorelai is also marked, so I don't know how sensitive that is, but I don't think we can fake that.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: Well, we have the ring that did the markings know or can multiple rings be tied to the same mark?
I thought it was one ring throw.
[00:12:38] Speaker D: Mark or.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: I know a ring can have. This is above table. I know a ring can have multiple marks on it, but they can only mark to one.
Like you can't have a network.
[00:12:53] Speaker F: You know what I mean, what I'm saying?
[00:12:55] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:56] Speaker G: And also like once you attune to it, it like updates to your mark rather than Johnny's. So it would be right, because it's like now I'm off or something.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: You still have access to the other ones, I believe, but it adds yours to it. So you automatically gain a new mark.
[00:13:11] Speaker B: I believe. But also there could be other rings could be marked with a sigil. You don't see, who knows, right?
[00:13:17] Speaker A: That's the question. If another ring has the same sigil, will it find anything marked to that sigil? Or only things that specific ring marked with that specific sigil. Even if the sigil.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: I believe it is. I believe it is that specific ring marked with that sigil.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: So we have the ring that marked Lorelai. We know this because it located her so that doesn't matter unless she is marked by another ring.
And there's no way to know that unless you have another ring.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: You could do magical tradition checks essentially is because it is a.
You don't know if you're.
Your detective. Entry might be high enough to tell you if there are multiple.
Especially because they are like they're, you know, considered hidden. So it has to be like a specific high a specific level to tell that it's there.
[00:14:06] Speaker A: If it's not, we have a wizard and a wizard tower.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: This is true.
Yeah. And. But one thing you do risk about sending a fake Lorelei in is of somebody deciding to just kill her on the way there.
Or Johnny just being like, great shoot.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:14:26] Speaker D: Well, what if we have someone that can't die?
I shouldn't volunteer them for this stuff. I think they're just. Never mind. Don't continue.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: A potential backup plan if we don't have another option.
[00:14:41] Speaker E: Like Whiskey Jack, not like Rook.
Oh yeah.
[00:14:46] Speaker A: Who is just a person in a circus person.
[00:14:50] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:14:50] Speaker A: No, you're right.
[00:14:51] Speaker D: They're just kind of got dragged into this thing.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Just something I guess to keep in mind. If they are willing. And we have no better ideas.
Not that it is a bad idea only because they are the most civilian of civilians.
[00:15:10] Speaker F: I raised my hand while I'm eating one of my cookies.
This. I don't know too much about the great workings and mechanisms of the whole Johnny family and scenario, but. Graveling, do you happen to know anyone that we.
Why my avatar twitching like it's on every drug. Anyways, do you happen to know any unallied forces that would. We know roughly where he is.
Perhaps if we let a force that we're not allied with but definitely doesn't like him. You know, know where he is. Then maybe they could play the Distraction for us.
Someone that hates him just as much as we do, but not someone we don't particularly care if they end up taking the fall.
[00:15:54] Speaker C: Aubrey, I have someone in mind, but we haven't met them yet.
But can I still make a roll for this anyways?
[00:16:01] Speaker D: Sure.
[00:16:03] Speaker F: Outsourcing the Distraction is my suggestion. Like, hey, we're just six guys. What if we just get other people to do it for us that also hate him?
[00:16:12] Speaker C: Society.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: Yeah, society.
[00:16:14] Speaker C: Okay, that's really fucking good then.
One second.
I just want to double check my math here.
Yeah, no, I was correct. 32.
[00:16:28] Speaker B: It does sound like you have someone in mind.
The. There are a lot of people who dislike Johnny, but unfortunately, currently Johnny does have the backing of the high Priest.
So you would have to somebody who you know well enough that you could convince to.
Essentially, if something does go bad and word gets out that they were a part of this, might deal with the high priest's wrath coming down on them.
[00:17:03] Speaker C: All right, Then that immediately shoots out anybody that I would know.
Listen, a lot of people don't like Johnny. He's a piece of shit. And the best way to put it is working with him is like.
Working with him is like willingly wanting to eat off of the floors and coffin walk.
You know exactly what you're getting, and it's not good.
And it might be something related to tetanus.
So it doesn't help that he's backed by the high priest.
So it's got to be somebody who's 100% willing to bite any bullets.
[00:17:56] Speaker D: Do we know if this place that they're staying at has, like, a tunnel entrance or anything? Or is the just the building the only way in or out?
[00:18:07] Speaker B: If you ask Laurel Ash, we'll say there is no, like, other entrance into the Silver Fox Simply is because of the deal that she had with the Madam.
[00:18:20] Speaker D: What if we smoke them out?
[00:18:23] Speaker C: Are you suggesting starting a fire in a district? Because that's a great way to get lamplighters and a whole bunch of other unnecessary people to come in.
[00:18:33] Speaker D: It doesn't necessarily need to be fire. There's other ways to get someone to leave a place, do something to make them think that there's fire.
[00:18:43] Speaker A: You have magic, so do they.
[00:18:48] Speaker C: So they'd be able to tell when there isn't a real fire.
[00:18:54] Speaker D: What about.
Isn't there, like, those, like, smoke bombs that people can make.
[00:19:02] Speaker C: That would not get them out of a building?
[00:19:04] Speaker D: I don't think so, unless you made it very unpleasant.
[00:19:09] Speaker C: He's a rare rat.
[00:19:13] Speaker A: Well, it doesn't have to be.
Are we assuming that everyone in the building is his.
His guards or his people?
[00:19:29] Speaker G: No.
[00:19:29] Speaker C: There's gonna be 100% innocence too, then.
[00:19:32] Speaker A: Is that a way that we could get them out?
[00:19:36] Speaker C: I once saw him use a random woman as a human meat shield.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: To.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: Take a betrayal punch that he saw was coming.
Turns out it was a stab. She did die, so he doesn't care. We might care.
[00:19:59] Speaker D: Well, if we get all but one random woman and then stop the random woman from getting hurt, that would help.
[00:20:08] Speaker F: So we're dealing with someone who's not easily tricked because he's aware of all the tricks in the book. We don't have anyone that can take a lot of the scapegoat of going in for us. And he's in a location where we can't particularly storm in or sneak in.
Luring him out would be very hard. Simply because of the fact that he is very cunning. Unless we can make it an incredibly convincing trap. But even then with too enticing bait, he won't fall for it.
[00:20:38] Speaker D: What if we don't need to make him fall for it?
What if we make it seem like Johnny's double crossing the high priest?
[00:20:48] Speaker C: That could work.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: How?
[00:20:54] Speaker D: See that's where I was hoping someone else could fill in the blanks.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: Is there anything that you got from Senator Moran that might be information that we could leverage in that direction?
[00:21:11] Speaker D: And the other stuff that we were able to scavenge beside from like the journals or anything.
Was there anything like else that we were able to find that deemed important besides like them being like, you know, upon and everything?
[00:21:27] Speaker B: They were pawn. And they were aware that Johnny was moving drugs and people through the district.
Those are his. The big things he works in is smuggling people and drugs.
So he's sort of doing that again to the row.
[00:21:48] Speaker D: What if we have someone.
Sorry, to answer the question.
Besides what we knew already, what they were doing now they burned all the important information.
I think. What if we have someone disguised as Johnny stir up a crowd and put a hit on the high priest or someone else that works for them.
Offer a big enough bounty, get enough people, word will go fast. Even if they don't believe it. That means it's coming from. And Yuri's gonna put air quotes Johnny's mouth.
[00:22:27] Speaker F: And then honestly.
Then we would just have the high priest having to do something about it.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: Right.
Would it be something that we could do if we.
I'm still thinking this. Or. But something to do with perhaps impersonating some of the other blades. Do we know of that? We know what they look like.
[00:22:55] Speaker C: My brother.
[00:22:57] Speaker A: Like your brother? Yes. That was exactly the one I was thinking of. In fact.
And using the impersonation in order to lay the pieces that we need to lay someone who is believable from the high priest's point of view.
Who they would not trust and trust their information.
But it is. It is us giving the information.
You. You met someone who is the high priest's cousin.
I understand they are not only saying good terms.
But is that a point that we could use?
[00:23:37] Speaker C: I'm gonna be real honest. I'm not too keen in using her. Because she's the only one right now who can get rid of whatever little domination thing the tyrant's going on. And so she's busy right now.
[00:23:55] Speaker A: So she would not be able to set up another meeting that you got with Bloodline.
[00:24:01] Speaker C: She could set up a meeting, but the whole point is her being there. So now you would have to pretend to be her.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: I see. I see.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: That's where it's a little tricky meeting, though. I think she can set us up.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: But I know nothing if not good at pretending to be people.
[00:24:21] Speaker D: I mean, Graveling. If we set up the disguise correctly, could you pass yourself off as Bloodline? Easily.
[00:24:30] Speaker C: See, I don't know if you've noticed, but I am more than a foot smaller than him.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: He's accounted for.
[00:24:40] Speaker C: Yeah, he can.
[00:24:42] Speaker A: Again, magic and stilts.
[00:24:46] Speaker E: That's a lot easier than making yourself foot shorter.
[00:24:50] Speaker A: Yeah, height is much easier.
[00:24:54] Speaker B: Just have a good reason why you vanished for like three weeks.
[00:24:57] Speaker C: I can think of so many good reasons why he vanished for three weeks. Like all of the child support he.
[00:25:02] Speaker A: Owes me, one that the high priest will believe, or at least perhaps. Preferably not the high priest directly, but someone who reports to him. I think it would be dangerous to go directly to the high priest and unlikely to even get a meeting, even with the cousin, but someone who would tell the high priest. And so the high priest thinks, oh, no, Johnny has portrayed me bloodlines, Etzo. And Bloodline's information is so correct because why would he not be correct in this?
And then he goes, I will take back.
And then we have Johnny gone.
Or at least maybe we can't.
[00:25:42] Speaker C: Graveling is nodding, but like thinking. Thinking really, really, really hard.
I might have to.
I might have to stop by his house again then to kind of see. I don't know what he's gonna be mentally.
I just need to know how much ass he kissed.
[00:26:05] Speaker A: The other interesting thing that we need to consider with this plan is.
[00:26:12] Speaker C: What.
[00:26:12] Speaker A: Is the best possible outcome we are hoping for and what is the one that we are willing to settle on?
[00:26:20] Speaker D: Kill two birds with one stone. Worse, we just get Johnny.
[00:26:24] Speaker A: What is the second bird a high priest?
I don't know any. Well, it seems unlikely that we will get the two birds.
[00:26:34] Speaker D: I mean, you said best possible outcome.
[00:26:37] Speaker A: I was dreaming much smaller.
[00:26:40] Speaker D: Dream bigger. I think that's all we got right now.
[00:26:44] Speaker A: Okay, so we are hoping the best case scenario is that the high priest shows up personally and he and Johnny kill each other and we are solved to two infestations at once. The second best option is that the high priest sends all of his goons and they fight Johnny. And there's no talking possible. And they Only fight and the deception is not uncovered. And. And Johnny is. Is destroyed. And then the worst case scenario is that the high priest sends no one and we are back at ground zero. And then the middling case is that the high priest sends people, but they talk and they learn there's deception, and then we leap into action. And who fars the best.
[00:27:26] Speaker B: I'll also remind you of information you've got before, is that people in Silver Court are pushing to essentially get rid of Val Salvation Row. And for the lack of better term, gentrify. It.
[00:27:44] Speaker A: Is that.
I see how that's relevant in the long term. I don't understand how that's relevant in the short term.
[00:27:51] Speaker B: Tyrese could just decide to burn the whole district.
[00:27:54] Speaker A: Okay, thank you. That's got it. Understood. I'm following now.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a bad thing overall, but doesn't seem how relevant right now.
[00:28:04] Speaker C: I cast Fireball district wide.
[00:28:09] Speaker A: I didn't ask how big the city was. I said, I guess Fireball.
[00:28:12] Speaker D: How likely do you.
How paranoid is Johnny?
Incredibly. Right?
[00:28:22] Speaker C: Incredibly.
Probably even more now that he's died once.
[00:28:28] Speaker D: So what if we do it from two sides where we make the priest think Johnny is betraying them and make Johnny think the rest of the blades are trying to betray Johnny?
You can sell rumors all through the place that Johnny's head is next on the chopping block.
Salvation Row was just a step, and Johnny's part of it now.
[00:28:55] Speaker C: See, I think sewing the rumors for Johnny is much easier than getting the high priest involved in any way, because he's not going to show up on his own. He's going to send Elias Gore.
And I don't want the wardens or the lamplight. I don't want to give Johnny more. More people to hide behind.
He has the whole district to do that.
[00:29:21] Speaker A: So then it is better to entice John. Well, if we scare Johnny, will he not just go into deeper hiding? He's not going to go chasing down the high priest to attack him, even if he thinks he is at risk.
[00:29:41] Speaker D: But he may get rid of everyone close to him thinking he can't trust anyone.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:29:49] Speaker D: Because if everyone's out to get him, then the mechanism that he's gonna use is just gonna stop.
[00:29:55] Speaker C: And the deeper he goes into hiding, the deeper we can follow.
Yeah, he used to, like, lock himself up in his studies. Studies. Office.
[00:30:07] Speaker A: Office.
[00:30:08] Speaker C: It's probably an office.
And it is a shame we can't.
[00:30:12] Speaker A: Just corral him into the pit.
Well, because we would have a Very easy way to get rid of him.
[00:30:22] Speaker C: Well, you don't know what he does in his pits.
Wait, which. Which. Which. Which pit are you talking about? You talking about the one that I.
[00:30:29] Speaker A: Just got out of?
[00:30:30] Speaker C: Okay, cool. Okay. He runs illegal pit fights.
[00:30:34] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:30:38] Speaker C: That'S.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: I meant someone that has a giant bird in it. An Eld.
[00:30:44] Speaker C: I thought you meant the pit fights, which, by the way, are also not very clean.
[00:30:50] Speaker A: If. If I had remembered off of the top of my head the name of the disrock that is now a pit, I would have said that. But I forgot because it's been a hot minute and I am very sleepy.
[00:31:00] Speaker B: You know, there's.
[00:31:01] Speaker A: There's.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: There's also like magical means.
You can always.
Invisibility is a spell.
[00:31:08] Speaker A: Do we have that spell?
I know we have a wizard tower, but so far, mostly it's just been giving us rat form, Alistair, which is delightful, but I mean, your.
[00:31:22] Speaker B: Your.
Your great, great, great grandpa is a magus, so.
[00:31:28] Speaker D: Also, I think Yuri's gonna chime.
Also, I. I'm just gonna put this out there because my cover is clearly blown and I have a high bounty on my head. I could also cause problems if needed, in whatever way that could be possible.
[00:31:48] Speaker G: How.
[00:31:49] Speaker C: How much of a scumbag do you wanna. Do you wanna be perceived as.
[00:31:54] Speaker D: I don't think I have a choice in this matter anyways. So.
[00:32:01] Speaker C: Why don't you just go to him and say you want in?
[00:32:08] Speaker A: Well, will he believe that? If the High Priest tried to kill.
[00:32:13] Speaker C: Yuri, who else is going to protect him? Besides the one guy that the High priest not only doesn't want to look at, but wouldn't care who's in his operations.
Johnny had. Johnny had some of the blades there. You know, he's working with the people who killed him.
[00:32:41] Speaker D: I could go in and offer some dirt on people in Silver Court.
Not that I'm going to give them any. However, it would be plausible that would have it in exchange for protection or whatever.
It's risky, but it's a good idea.
[00:32:59] Speaker G: He knows.
He was working with Laura, not Lorelei.
Okay, Clover.
Johnny was working with Clover, so he knows that you're working with us.
[00:33:13] Speaker C: But if we bring Clover with him.
[00:33:17] Speaker G: And I'm sure that if any gossip has gotten around, he knows that you're a bit of a sucker for people in general.
You could be seduced to his side easily enough.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: Hey, here, you want to extend that list of X's.
[00:33:42] Speaker G: This one's a fake ax.
[00:33:46] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:33:46] Speaker C: So I don't feel bad for what I Suggested anymore. That was worse.
[00:33:49] Speaker A: That was.
[00:33:52] Speaker C: That was the. That was when we were plotting to kill him the first time. That was the first thing we eliminated.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: Ever doing human clover. Right. Clover is the.
[00:34:02] Speaker G: I meant clover is the end, not Johnny.
[00:34:04] Speaker A: That's it? Yeah.
[00:34:05] Speaker G: I mean, we know Yuri doesn't have discernment, but.
[00:34:11] Speaker A: Okay, so hold on, wait.
[00:34:15] Speaker G: No, you're right. That's not fair. It's your exes who don't have discernment. You picked some very nice people.
[00:34:23] Speaker A: So I'm losing the thought of the plan.
[00:34:28] Speaker D: I think the plan for both Grave Wing and le Perspective is that I was so do a spike clover to help go onto their side.
[00:34:37] Speaker A: No, no, I understand that part.
We send you into the lion's den with someone as a clover so that you have backup and possibly also a rat in your pocket for further backup. But then we send you in and there are still most of us not present.
And what happened to drawing him out?
Or are we going to see if we have pure magic available to us? Is the plan to go in or the plan to get him out?
[00:35:08] Speaker D: Well, I think it's the plans to go in to set up a meeting.
The plans go in to try to.
[00:35:18] Speaker A: The plan to fight him because we want to fight him. So you see, that is. That is the end result is to fight this man. And we want to do it in the fox or we want to do it not in the ax. Do we want to put him in a pit?
What do we want?
[00:35:33] Speaker F: I have a. I have a question. It's somewhat a suggestion as well. I'm not sure if he's too paranoid for this or not, but. Yuri, are you very good at lying and deceiving people?
[00:35:46] Speaker C: His exes would say yes.
[00:35:49] Speaker D: Oh, well, okay, okay.
[00:35:51] Speaker C: Everybody else is doing it.
[00:35:53] Speaker F: I want.
[00:35:53] Speaker C: Felt wanted to be.
[00:35:55] Speaker F: I'm just trying to think if. If Yuri came to.
To hear to Mr. Johnny asking for. To work for him, I would be pretty skeptical. And let's say if he offered information about someone else that he had, like his family's and stuff, I'd still be kind of skeptical. And if you could play Johnny in such a way that you can get Johnny to ask about us, you can feed him false information, giving him the idea that he thought of it, and we can set up something to potentially lure him out. If he's fully confident he's the one that orchestrated it.
[00:36:33] Speaker G: Are you that good at lying, Yida?
[00:36:36] Speaker D: I think I'm good enough.
[00:36:38] Speaker F: I think Leith is better at lying personally, but also actually no. Leith, you Are kind of a.
Whoa.
[00:36:45] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:36:47] Speaker C: Back on track.
[00:36:48] Speaker D: Okay. Let's.
[00:36:49] Speaker C: Let's Yuri. I like that. I like that. The blend of sending Yuri and I think to set up this meeting, I.
[00:36:58] Speaker D: Think it's also, again, I am the one that is outed from everyone. I think that being outed is enough to, you know, if I were to turn, you know, I have nowhere safe to go. Literally, if I decided to be. Hey, I'm fucking screwed anywhere I go.
Let me in so I can make sure to take down someone.
[00:37:21] Speaker C: And I do think we need to send somebody else just in case. I think somebody needs to pretend to be Clover.
Lathe is probably the best one for that.
[00:37:31] Speaker G: I've got practice.
[00:37:33] Speaker C: Exactly.
It will look more realistic as well. Yuri approaching Clover or Clover approaching Yuri. Doesn't matter. You both show up, try to convince it that way. Lure him out or start feeding him false information.
No, man, just feed him false information anyways. Blur him out. That way can get as few people in the crossfire as possible.
[00:38:05] Speaker B: Is a. Certainly a possibility.
[00:38:09] Speaker D: I'm fine putting myself in this position as long as Leith. Are you fine going in as Clover and being in the danger we'll be in?
[00:38:20] Speaker A: Of course.
[00:38:21] Speaker G: I'd rather know what's going on than be waiting in the dark for you.
[00:38:26] Speaker D: You know, maybe.
Worst case, I get a gun in his mouth and shoot and we're done.
[00:38:34] Speaker C: Word of advice, don't take that.
[00:38:38] Speaker D: Oh, okay. Yes.
[00:38:39] Speaker C: Yeah, don't.
It's never gonna be as easy as you think it is. And also, this is not me being mean at this point. This is just something to say. His mouth is literally, like full of diseases. Like he could give you something wear rat.
He. Alistair is so not involved in this in this case, by the way. Okay? I just mean this man is gross. Okay? Johnny Rotten.
That was not. That was not his, like, birth name. Okay, man. Like.
[00:39:15] Speaker D: I think having literal fire going through my veins helps that a lot.
[00:39:23] Speaker C: You'd be surprised.
[00:39:25] Speaker F: You'd be surprised.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: Don't you have tetanus?
[00:39:28] Speaker F: Yeah, don't we have.
[00:39:31] Speaker A: What do you mean that's out of character?
[00:39:36] Speaker B: You all succeeded on your saves from tetanus rolls. I did secret roles at one point and you all succeeded.
[00:39:44] Speaker D: See, I'm fine. God said so.
[00:39:48] Speaker B: Unfortunately. I really wanted one of you to succumb to it.
[00:39:52] Speaker A: Okay, We've dodged your ghoul disease, We've dodged your tetanus. We're mostly sort of dodging indoctrination.
Why is this the disease campaign, Aubrey?
[00:40:05] Speaker C: Because it's what it's the uk. It's Britain.
[00:40:10] Speaker A: All of it seems like porn. I thought it was Prague.
[00:40:17] Speaker C: Against syphilis in the air. Okay, like, there's so much that we can get here.
[00:40:21] Speaker A: And we are fighting.
[00:40:24] Speaker C: We're fighting the man to give us all of it.
[00:40:29] Speaker A: All of it.
[00:40:31] Speaker C: He's got Covid fingers. He's got everything.
[00:40:34] Speaker A: Okay, okay, how are we getting the rest? Wait, wait. We. Are we just sending two people in here, or are we trying to sneak us all in here?
[00:40:43] Speaker B: Theoretically, above table, Vittorio can cast shared invisibility, and that can make up to a bunch of people in a small radius. Invisible.
[00:40:57] Speaker A: Wonderful. Is that something we need right now?
[00:41:00] Speaker E: That might.
[00:41:01] Speaker A: Is that the goal? It's the goal to get everybody in.
[00:41:04] Speaker B: Because theoretically, like, it could succeed, but if it doesn't, there is a good chance that Johnny is just going to attempt to murder both of them.
And then they will have to fight their way out of a district.
[00:41:17] Speaker A: Right, that's.
[00:41:18] Speaker B: So you can.
[00:41:19] Speaker E: At least.
[00:41:22] Speaker A: They don't have much of an escape plan right now.
But also, I realized that putting us all in this space means we are fighting max amount of people.
[00:41:35] Speaker C: So we would be putting ourselves in a kill box.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: Right, which is the other problem. So either it's everybody in a kill box and there's a chance we can get out of it, because we have a good record of doing that historically across campaigns. Or put two people in a kill box who, historically, have less of a good chance of getting out. Especially the squishiest two, who aren't even wizards.
[00:42:00] Speaker D: Squishiest.
[00:42:01] Speaker A: What we said you actively hurt yourself. Went down twice.
[00:42:05] Speaker C: You actively hurt yourself to do things. And Leith has a six or something as a Khan modifier. I don't know. Okay, that'd be here for your lives.
[00:42:16] Speaker D: Yeah, to be fair, I'm not squishy. I just take crits.
[00:42:21] Speaker B: You end things that, like, you may not want to think about. But the blades are still a thing you can use.
There are a number of them, and this fight is a little personal for them.
[00:42:36] Speaker C: Aubrey, this is your own fault. Which blades are you talking about?
[00:42:39] Speaker B: The bloody blades.
[00:42:40] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: So, in theory, we could have bloody blades on, like, the exits to cover potential exits. What are the odds of.
Because is this brothel still operational, or is it just his little hideout and there's just a bunch of hostages?
[00:43:02] Speaker B: From the information you have, it is still operational.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: Can we go in as patrons with bloody blades? Like, what are the odds of getting a bunch of us in there as potential patrons?
[00:43:13] Speaker B: Theoretically, yeah, you could.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: And then we Just have a bunch of plants as fake customers.
[00:43:19] Speaker D: You guys ever.
[00:43:20] Speaker A: As many blades as possible. Bloody blades who would not be recognized. I know he's got a bunch of people who.
[00:43:26] Speaker E: Who swapped but we could also like just stick with me for a second.
Spacious pouches we get. We could get about 10 minutes by sticking people in spacious pouches.
Having people positioned outside to attacking. To attack and rupture the pouches.
You're thinking of.
[00:44:08] Speaker A: Keep going.
[00:44:10] Speaker D: No, no, Alistair, that's not.
[00:44:13] Speaker B: I don't know if you have that kind of money.
[00:44:17] Speaker E: So 75 gold.
[00:44:21] Speaker B: You might be able to buy one.
[00:44:23] Speaker D: You don't have that kind of money, my friend.
Even I don't have that money right now. It's all hidden somewhere else.
2. That's a high chance of suffocation if it goes on a little too long.
[00:44:36] Speaker B: It's gonna take you more than 10 minutes to get from the entrance of Salvation Room to the Silver Fox. I'm going to tell you that.
[00:44:42] Speaker A: Trash. Gas. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
[00:44:44] Speaker F: I'm kidding.
[00:44:45] Speaker D: I think just having people go in as patrons in disguises is probably better than having them in your pocket.
[00:44:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:57] Speaker A: Because that being said, we could put Rat Alistair in a pocket if we needed to.
Don't say we need to. I'm just saying that's an option with patrons.
[00:45:06] Speaker C: Isn't a bad idea.
But it keeps us real close and personal now with the innocence.
[00:45:13] Speaker D: Well, that's what I'm saying. We get them in and we get everyone else out while we're having a meeting.
[00:45:19] Speaker A: It is a way to minimize that potentially.
[00:45:22] Speaker B: He's probably not going to have a meeting on. In the middle of the floor at the Fox.
[00:45:30] Speaker C: So he doesn't have guards on the main floor. Is that what you're saying? I could just grab everybody. All of the. I can grab all the prostitutes and.
[00:45:37] Speaker D: All the other innocent people that take out the guards. It's fine.
I seen you chokehold someone.
It's quiet.
[00:45:47] Speaker B: Or at least, you know, get most of people because there's a lot of rooms there where people do their business.
[00:45:52] Speaker A: You know the Barbie movie?
[00:45:56] Speaker C: No. Because movies don't exist.
[00:45:58] Speaker B: The Barbie play.
[00:45:59] Speaker A: The play. You know the opera called Barbie?
[00:46:02] Speaker C: No, because I'm poor. Why would I ever go to one?
[00:46:05] Speaker A: They had a poor person. They did the puppet version. I don't know.
[00:46:08] Speaker F: Yeah. Remember there was a reenactment at the shop I used to work at with those people who are a little bit drunk and a little bit too rich on the tables.
[00:46:17] Speaker A: The part near the End where they are secretly.
[00:46:24] Speaker C: De.
[00:46:24] Speaker A: Brainwashing all of the Barbie women one by one. And they sort of put in somebody and they sneak them out so they can be rescued and then put back to their normal self. And they just sort of spread throughout all of the cans that.
But for rescuing prostitutes.
[00:46:44] Speaker D: I. I honestly think between Leith and I, we could keep Johnny distracted at least for five minutes.
[00:46:53] Speaker C: Can you keep him from hearing with his heightened hearing or his heightened sense of smell when the blood shows up.
[00:47:04] Speaker D: Just don't make anyone bleed right away.
[00:47:07] Speaker G: Or make yourself bleed in his proximity so he thinks it's that.
[00:47:12] Speaker D: I mean, if he wants proof that I'm actually yorodoma Ryan, Yes, I could show him my fucking blood.
[00:47:17] Speaker F: Peyton sense of smell.
[00:47:19] Speaker A: Just fart really loud.
[00:47:23] Speaker C: All right, all right, all right, all right.
I will.
[00:47:27] Speaker D: You keep.
You just.
You know, there's not going to be a perfect plan, but we need a plan.
[00:47:36] Speaker B: This one has much less.
Has more, less, less chances to fail. Rather than. Let's try to get him to a secondary location.
[00:47:45] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:47:46] Speaker C: Get buff. Table. I agree. I'm just doing this in character.
[00:47:49] Speaker B: No, yeah, that's fine. That's fine.
[00:47:52] Speaker C: Okay. Dope, dope.
[00:47:53] Speaker A: Okay, back in. Appreciate the clarification.
[00:47:56] Speaker C: Yeah, I was like. I was like. Just in case. Just in case.
[00:47:58] Speaker A: I've been bouncing above and below table the whole time.
[00:48:02] Speaker C: Yeah, back in.
[00:48:05] Speaker A: Look.
[00:48:08] Speaker C: Can'T say I'm not nervous since the last time we tried to gamble with lies. We kill 20 people.
[00:48:16] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:48:16] Speaker C: So pardon me for being weary.
[00:48:19] Speaker D: If we don't do anything.
[00:48:23] Speaker A: At least we are actively trying to remove them from danger as much as is possible.
Especially since he seems to be so difficult to root out.
[00:48:38] Speaker C: Can I trust you to not be rash, Yudo?
Last time you did it, you caught yourself getting your ass whooped and then kidnapped for two weeks.
[00:48:50] Speaker D: Okay, in my defense, I didn't think anyone else was there.
And I did not think fucking bloodline was working for my mother.
So I have a lot more information this time.
[00:49:03] Speaker C: You run around with vigilantes causing problems and you weren't worried about going to your treacherous home?
[00:49:10] Speaker D: I didn't know it was treacherous at the time.
I just thought it was bad vibes.
Obviously, that's why I was investigating.
There was before that. There was literally no signs, like of your brother coming to beat my ass inside my own home.
[00:49:30] Speaker A: Well, I agree with you.
I also think the question still stands.
[00:49:35] Speaker D: Yes, I have more information. I'll be more rash if anything. I'll just be obtusely rash for to make them Waste their time.
Also late will be there.
[00:49:48] Speaker A: That's all you're sharing?
[00:49:50] Speaker G: I was gonna say Lee started to laugh when Grave Wing started to ask like if Yuri could keep it under control. Then realized that Faith would be the one who has to try and keep Yuri under control and immediately cut herself off.
[00:50:06] Speaker D: Yeah, look, between the two of us, we could waste people's time. Let's just say that.
[00:50:13] Speaker A: The. The longer you are able to stall, the more people that we can get out of the Silver Fox.
Yeah, it would be very suspicious. Unless there are a bunch of us if we are like oh, what a great night. And then go to somebody else like within five minutes.
[00:50:31] Speaker C: You know, I'm going to try and see if I can get. I'm going to see if my sister is in any condition to be a part of this.
Same with my brother in law. To see if we can have a bit more.
There is no better term for me to use. Professional help.
[00:50:51] Speaker A: Do we want to see if there are any blades that can assist us?
And is there anyone else that we think would be helpful here?
[00:51:02] Speaker C: We can try the bloody blades, but I'm a little worried about them being patrons because there are more bloody blades in the building.
That's the only thing I'm worried about. The outsides, that would be better. And they can help.
Yes, get people out. I would prefer that a lot more.
[00:51:23] Speaker B: I mean, you've got in the. In the house alone, you've got thinking about like who you have in the house. Like Vittorio, you've got.
[00:51:30] Speaker C: No, we're bringing that. He's gonna be invisible. He can be a patron. Nobody. He could be a patron. He has not been seen in like 11/77 years.
[00:51:40] Speaker A: Okay, sir, priorities.
You've had days for that.
[00:51:46] Speaker C: Days for what?
I said he could be a patron. Wait, what the. What the are you thinking? What the are you thinking? What the are you thinking? Because I said a part of the patron crew. As if he would be inside the building being a disguise.
[00:52:01] Speaker A: What did you think?
[00:52:03] Speaker C: What did you were you.
[00:52:04] Speaker A: And then you said it's been 11 to 11 years since he's been laid.
And I said he's had days to take care of that problem.
[00:52:12] Speaker C: I said 11D7. That is a meme in a reference.
[00:52:17] Speaker B: I'm aware of it.
[00:52:20] Speaker D: Why are you so defensive?
[00:52:23] Speaker A: What? Grandpa can't get laid?
[00:52:26] Speaker C: He can get laid if he wants to. It would just be incredibly inconvenient to get your brains fucked out. Never blowing someone else's. His brains.
[00:52:35] Speaker A: That's what I was saying. We're on the same page.
[00:52:39] Speaker C: This was in character. Victoria was eating, has stopped eating cereal.
[00:52:45] Speaker A: He's now eating Cheetos.
He's doing the Cheetos with chopsticks to keep his fingers clean.
[00:52:52] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, you got them. You got Conics and Lena, you've got, like, a decent number of people.
[00:53:02] Speaker C: All right, Running it again from the tops. That way we understand what the is going on.
Going to the Silver Fox.
Yuria is pretending to defect.
Leith is dressed up as Clover. They are keeping Johnny stalled, while the rest of us, disguised as patrons, are getting people out, slash, potentially taking care of guards downstairs. I say slash potentially because I don't trust us.
I don't trust us. I don't trust one of us to, like, step on Alistair's tail. Alistair goes, ouch. I'm Alistair Westerfield, a part of the Unathable.
We have bloody blades waiting outside to also help the innocents get out. I keep calling them the innocence in my head. I'm like, there are no innocence. But there is.
And then hopefully, maybe I have my brother Lion's sister, like, on the roof or inside or some. We doing something. Vittorio's also coming. Don't know about Lorelai yet.
Correct.
[00:54:21] Speaker B: Go, team.
[00:54:23] Speaker A: We did it. It only took an hour, but we've done it.
[00:54:27] Speaker F: I have one more question. This is just a clarifying question. It's not like bringing up a new idea or anything. To get people out of the building. Do you have, like, a script for me to memorize?
[00:54:39] Speaker D: Run.
[00:54:40] Speaker F: What do I say to get people.
[00:54:42] Speaker A: Out of the building?
[00:54:44] Speaker E: You could show up in their mouths.
[00:54:50] Speaker F: I mean, I need to know what to say, right? Do I say, like, hey, free. Free snacks outside?
[00:54:57] Speaker C: No, just go up to them, say that some shit's about to go down, you need to leave.
[00:55:02] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:55:06] Speaker A: Opportunity to vacate.
[00:55:07] Speaker E: Do they serve food?
Why, I could hide on one of the plates as a rat.
[00:55:22] Speaker C: Okay, once again, health inspector, we gotta.
[00:55:25] Speaker A: Get you out of here.
[00:55:26] Speaker C: Once again, once again, this is Johnny Rotten's place of business. Cannot stress enough that not only have health inspectors died for less, but I've certainly eaten a rat or two on his premises.
[00:55:42] Speaker F: Hear me out, though. Hear me out. Hi, we're the health inspectors. We're here to make sure it's not healthy enough. We're reverse health inspectors. We've gotta make sure it's rotten enough.
[00:55:51] Speaker A: Can you please leave so we can.
[00:55:52] Speaker F: Make it more rotten in here?
[00:55:54] Speaker A: Just tell them to leave.
[00:55:58] Speaker F: Let me be funny for three seconds. Okay, fine, Yeah, I know. I get the plan, but, like.
[00:56:05] Speaker C: Break.
[00:56:08] Speaker B: So yeah, you.
You have a plan and that will happen in a couple of days time.
Alouette, you had set up a meeting with one of your sisters, right?
Paloma.
[00:56:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I did. Paloma said sure, yeah.
[00:56:32] Speaker B: And would invite you to.
To high tea in Silver Court.
[00:56:41] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
I will go. I will go if it is the time for the going.
[00:56:47] Speaker B: You know, all of your siblings seem to have some sort of bird motif. If you had to say Paloma's was, what would it be?
[00:56:56] Speaker A: Paloma's got albatross vibes.
[00:57:00] Speaker B: And is Paloma the oldest?
[00:57:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:57:03] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:57:06] Speaker A: She's also the one with political aspirations.
[00:57:09] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:57:12] Speaker B: So yeah, you are sitting down for. For tea. And you know, it's pure classic high tea, which I don't think you've had in a while.
And eventually the topic of conversation will turn more and she will go.
So I'm sure that you're aware that things with the family have been a little more strained recently with the unfortunate incident at the Moren estate.
[00:57:48] Speaker A: Yes, I have. I heard that the auntie and uncle moved in with Papa.
[00:57:55] Speaker B: Yes, yes.
Just. Just until the.
The estate is fixed. Whenever that happens.
Things. Things. This take so long.
[00:58:06] Speaker A: Of course, it is very generous for Papa to open his own to families.
[00:58:12] Speaker B: Of course. Family is very important.
[00:58:15] Speaker A: It is indeed.
Some may say it is even the most important thing.
[00:58:21] Speaker B: Yes.
And because father has been shirking on his duties, I think it is my turn to bring you into this part of our family.
[00:58:42] Speaker A: Oh, what part of the familiar is that?
[00:58:46] Speaker B: The part that wants to see the correct things happen in the city.
[00:58:52] Speaker A: Oh, I. I do mean.
I. I noticed that you had aspirations of senatorship. Is this. Are you. Are you making up its to become the netor?
[00:59:04] Speaker B: Yes. Yes, I am.
I think. I think. Well, not necessarily send a netter because the way things are going, it looks like we're about to have a rapid change in government.
Give me a perception check real quick.
[00:59:19] Speaker A: Okie dokie.
[00:59:23] Speaker B: 20, 30. 20. Aspola is talking.
You notice the necklace she's wearing?
It's that golden loop.
[00:59:44] Speaker A: Have you been by the old house to visit with papa and auntie since.
[00:59:53] Speaker B: They are and by once or twice, but it's with the. With how things have been going. It's been very busy. I'm had many meetings with even the High Priest himself.
[01:00:06] Speaker A: What an honor.
[01:00:09] Speaker B: That's wonderful.
[01:00:10] Speaker A: And I'm so proud of you.
[01:00:12] Speaker B: That is small select group of us.
[01:00:17] Speaker A: What a very high honor indeed.
I was not aware that our family had found such favor again.
[01:00:26] Speaker B: Yes, it's A recent development, but like many of the old families in the city, we all want what's good for it, what's best for it.
[01:00:38] Speaker A: Of course.
That is. That is all I have ever wanted.
Restored. Than our family.
[01:00:50] Speaker B: Yes. Well, if so, our goals may be aligned.
[01:01:00] Speaker A: I would. I would like to think so.
[01:01:05] Speaker B: And she reaches over and puts her hands on top of yours and just says, there is still time.
You can come home.
We can settle this as a family.
We can do what is right for the city.
[01:01:28] Speaker A: But of course, I just. I am confused why it is so urgent.
I.
Where do you think I have been?
[01:01:43] Speaker B: Give me a diploma. Click. Give me a diplomacy roll.
[01:01:45] Speaker A: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
[01:01:49] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:01:49] Speaker A: That's gonna be a hero Point Lord. Okay, fair enough.
That's not ideal is what that is. But it's better than a one. So we're gonna take a 25.
[01:02:03] Speaker B: 25? Yeah, we'll say.
You should know just as well as I do that time is running out.
[01:02:18] Speaker A: Are you talking about my birthday?
I know it's. Tell me up soon. But you don't have to get to anything. It's not like you ever have before. So.
Just because we are talking now does not mean that things have to change. That much.
[01:02:34] Speaker B: I know. Who would you spend your time with? Hello.
[01:02:39] Speaker A: Everyone is so suddenly disapproving of my choice in fiances and I don't really understand it. I.
[01:02:50] Speaker B: She looks. Looks right into your. Right into your eyes and says to. Beyond that.
Do we both know what's coming in a couple of months?
[01:03:03] Speaker A: I am afraid I do not.
Unless you mean the feast of Saint. The saint feast. Or if you mean the end of the year, or if you mean the next season.
I am at a loss. What are you referring to? Is something happening that I should know about?
And I will put my hand on hers and give her like a sisterly squeeze.
Is something terrible happening?
You can tell me. I am not a child anymore.
[01:03:44] Speaker B: And she goes.
Well, next year.
Do we all know it's the centennial of the arrival.
[01:03:57] Speaker A: Oh, what a frightening anniversary. I had forgotten.
[01:04:03] Speaker B: And I'm just saying that when the symphony is done, make sure you're on the right side.
[01:04:17] Speaker A: What symphony?
[01:04:19] Speaker B: Describe something prepared when it's done. Make sure you're on the right side.
[01:04:30] Speaker A: Luma, I know that we have been friends with disc from time to time. After all, they give us a beautiful piano.
And you say there is a symphony and that it is important to be on the right side. It's the right side. Perhaps in the. In performing it. I don't know if you know this, but I am very adept at bells. Does there symphony need a little bell?
[01:05:03] Speaker B: If it does.
[01:05:07] Speaker A: Would you be interested or consider perhaps putting a good word for me?
I would love to be a part of it.
[01:05:16] Speaker B: She flips her hand over, kind of clasps it with hers and says, if we do this, come back to us, the family.
[01:05:32] Speaker A: I have never left.
Everything I do is for the good of our family.
[01:05:38] Speaker B: That's what she said too.
[01:05:41] Speaker A: Who?
[01:05:43] Speaker B: Mother.
[01:05:45] Speaker A: And so she did.
[01:05:48] Speaker B: And she's gone.
[01:05:50] Speaker A: I'm not going to be gone for Loma.
[01:05:54] Speaker B: I just don't want you to see. I don't want. Want to see you go down that same road.
[01:06:01] Speaker A: Everything is going to be fine.
I am going to make.
I am going to make everybody proud.
I'm going to make everyone remember our family for a very long time.
[01:06:19] Speaker B: Let's hope so.
[01:06:24] Speaker A: This has been a very wonderful conversation and I'm so glad that you were willing to talk to me.
I hope that perhaps now that I am out and about in the city. But we can get along more often and see on each other with more frequency. Especially, you know, if I get to perhaps partake in this symphony. I can practice for you.
[01:06:56] Speaker B: We'll see.
I'll be in touch.
[01:06:59] Speaker A: Well, I do plan to be home very soon. I haven't seen Papa in ages and I miss him dreadfully.
So you can expect to see me soon.
And you know, maybe. Maybe I will get together for my birthday and we can all be there. We can have the whole family. That be wonderful.
[01:07:18] Speaker B: It sounds wonderful. They'll be there.
I'll make sure the rest of them are too good.
[01:07:26] Speaker A: Nothing would make me happier, except maybe playing in the symphony.
[01:07:34] Speaker B: And at this point, you know, it'll get ready to wrap up and she lets go of your hand, sort of closes your hand around something.
You can feel metal in your hand.
[01:07:54] Speaker A: We'll discreetly take it, since she seems to be aiming for discretion here.
And then we'll stand up and kiss both her cheeks and say, well, I would love to stay longer to chat, but unfortunately wedding plans are so exhausting and I have so many things to do today. I think we're consulting with the Flores today.
It's going to be beautiful. But you know how hard it is to get flowers and man again.
I must be on my way. I love you. I will see you later. Goodbye. And I'm gonna go and I'm gonna make it at least one district away before for ducking into an alley and looking at the object.
[01:08:37] Speaker B: It's A necklace.
[01:08:39] Speaker A: Is. It is.
[01:08:43] Speaker B: Is an unbroken necklace.
[01:08:45] Speaker A: I'm gonna just cry.
Just cry in an alley and then go home. Also, it should be pointed out, I went to the high tea in disguise as myself, not hybrid mode.
So she. She. She. Unable to suppress the hybrid mode at the moment. She fully went with, like, used her little.
One of her little compact faces, but her own. Yeah. In order to not be half bird at the cit.
[01:09:20] Speaker B: Yeah. It's probably a good idea.
[01:09:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Generally speaking, she goes around the city. She is either like, covering her face in some way or she is.
Or she is wearing her. Her old face.
It's only like, at the manner that she lets herself be hybrid.
[01:09:38] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:09:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Good to know.
Any last actions to wrap up this week before we move into.
[01:09:47] Speaker A: Yes, yes.
[01:09:50] Speaker C: I want to talk to Leith.
[01:09:52] Speaker B: Go for it.
[01:09:56] Speaker C: Because I know that Leith prefers privacy when it comes to any meaningful conversation.
I am going to make sure that I can secure us said privacy, maybe at the library. And I just simply kick everybody out because I'm abrasive. Like, that could also be like, anywhere else. There's a wine cellar in here too, but I don't want to freak you out.
[01:10:31] Speaker A: I'll just.
[01:10:32] Speaker C: Let's just pick the library and I just kick everybody out who's in there. That. So that way it's. It could just be Grave wing and lathe.
Let the awkward silence be awkward for a minute.
And it's very clear or very obvious that grave wing is trying to find a way to start the conversation, but is not good at this at all.
It's.
[01:11:00] Speaker A: It's.
[01:11:00] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[01:11:02] Speaker G: Leith lets you hang, does not offer, like, the sort of customary way out or starting the conversation on her end.
[01:11:11] Speaker C: I'm going to be real with you.
We have not been talking much.
I'm pretty sure I hurt your feelings when I said I did not care about you or your sister.
And I'm going to be honest, that was only 45% true.
I say 45 because I don't like nobles, and so I really want to maintain that, but it's hard.
And I seem upset about this next part, but it's hard when some of you turn out to be okay people.
I really like generalizing how awful doubles are, so it sucks when, like, a handful of you are okay.
That being said, you and your sister are good people.
At least I think so.
And I think you did a good job raising her.
[01:12:33] Speaker G: Yeah, I think that Leith is very, like, sort of stiff at the start and then sort of transforms into airy. Like, oh, whatever, it's fine, I don't care.
And is going to sort of proceed with that.
And then you say that she did a good job raising her sister and she melts a little bit, but is still, I think, pretty stone when she says, now it's useful to know where we stand.
[01:13:10] Speaker C: How old are you?
[01:13:14] Speaker G: 27.
[01:13:19] Speaker C: You're older than I thought. Well, when you want to stop being abrasive and it's really hard, just know that I am very ready for it.
[01:13:39] Speaker G: Right.
[01:13:43] Speaker C: All right, good talk. I tap you on the shoulder even though we're close at age, and.
And I turn around and I walk away.
[01:13:54] Speaker G: Yeah, Leith, I think just spend some time just sort of staring at the bookshelves.
[01:14:01] Speaker B: Yeah, you.
You do.
We'll ask one last time. Anything anybody wants to do before we roll into the next week.
[01:14:12] Speaker A: Can I just make one slightly retroactive comment?
[01:14:15] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:14:16] Speaker A: Throughout the whole conversation with Paloma, Lou had her compact open on her lap. The mirror.
[01:14:25] Speaker B: Okay, that's all.
Okay.
So, yeah, I think now is a pretty decent time to take a break and come back with getting ready to put a plane in action. So, Tick, why don't you take us out?
[01:14:45] Speaker A: My back.
[01:14:46] Speaker F: Thank you everyone, for this new, wonderful.
