That's Danny 00:00:27.269 --> 00:01:12.069 with two N's, PirateStudios .com. on Sansatyan, 00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:14.329 and all reports in the world seem to be positive. 00:01:14.730 --> 00:01:17.629 Speaker Ardavazda and his fellow Celestials continue 00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:20.390 to guide Sansatyan through its transitory period. 00:01:20.689 --> 00:01:22.950 Some elements of Disquiet have been rooted out 00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:25.290 and sent to the Sky Prison, but a steady peace 00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:29.069 is overall set into place. But the same can't 00:01:29.069 --> 00:01:31.810 be said for all our worlds. The revolution on 00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:33.989 Sansatyan has sent out shockwaves felt throughout 00:01:33.989 --> 00:01:36.349 the Concord, and some rather villainous elements 00:01:36.349 --> 00:01:39.609 have taken to the idea. Ankur and Sengar have 00:01:39.609 --> 00:01:42.250 seen the rise of two revolutionary groups. The 00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:45.069 Silent Roar, who have long troubled Atash's reign, 00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:47.810 as well as a new, more violent group known as 00:01:47.810 --> 00:01:50.730 the Ashen Heirs. Revolution has sparked in the 00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:53.209 world of Noiri as well, leading to an absolute 00:01:53.209 --> 00:01:57.010 tragedy. Terrorists clad in jelly -dye -stained 00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:59.670 aprons have recently seen to the murder of... 00:02:00.010 --> 00:02:03.670 Prince of Coin Amarmata. These dangerous individuals 00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:06.689 call themselves the Bloodletters and state that 00:02:06.689 --> 00:02:08.550 their mission is to drain the poisonous greed 00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:11.610 from the streets of Zelda. The Merchant King's 00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:13.490 police and force, known as the Silent Verse, 00:02:13.669 --> 00:02:16.330 are taking this matter gravely serious. We can 00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:18.710 only hope these Bloodletters are rooted out and 00:02:18.710 --> 00:02:21.169 caught swiftly as the March of Vice begins in 00:02:21.169 --> 00:02:23.870 just a matter of days. We can only pray that 00:02:23.870 --> 00:02:26.129 Noiri's greatest celebration does not play host 00:02:26.129 --> 00:02:33.569 to more such tragedy. Damn, I'm good. That's 00:02:33.569 --> 00:02:35.849 like the 10th time you've got perfect timing. 00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:37.349 Yes, the timing was good, but more importantly, 00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:39.750 you just dropped a bunch of stuff on us. Before 00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:42.370 we hit record, you were like, oh, we should banter. 00:02:42.389 --> 00:02:43.669 What do you guys want to banter about? We haven't 00:02:43.669 --> 00:02:45.830 done that in a minute. Hold on, let me just drop 00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:49.650 bombs. There are revolutions and murders and 00:02:49.650 --> 00:02:52.409 coups. This is on Noiri, and we're not there 00:02:52.409 --> 00:02:55.530 right now. All right, well. It has nothing to 00:02:55.530 --> 00:02:58.689 do with you guys. Don't worry about it. Don't 00:02:58.689 --> 00:03:02.620 worry about it. Guarantee. I'm quite worried. 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:08.340 Dude, this is not this beer. You know exactly 00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:12.539 what it is, too. What? It's a beer with a label 00:03:12.539 --> 00:03:14.659 that I like, but the beer inside it is one that 00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:18.060 I don't. Oh, no. Here. From a work switch up. 00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:21.419 We'll switch it up. You're like, dude, MVP. Someone 00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:23.080 give this man a button. This is probably.

And actually, through us, Burke Mountain, 00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:39.740 who's hosting Mountain Mania, reached out to 00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:42.839 our friends in North Carolina at Homebrew Coffee 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.180 Co.

Yeah, so if you're 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.540 interested and you have any way or ability or 00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:20.680 interest in getting to Vermont, which I know 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.100 for most of the country is very far out of the 00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:24.980 way. Look up the Burke Mountain Resort and Convention 00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:27.879 Center. Find their Mountain Mania event. And 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.439 hopefully we'll see you there because we're going 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:39.439 to be there. We're going to be there.

Hopefully 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.860 we're going to run a little, you know, kind of 00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.019 one -shot session. We're going to use these characters, 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.800 but kind of like our last two episodes, we're 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.300 going to do something a little more self -enclosed. 00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:01.740 A world, one of the new worlds of my design. 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.660 A little one -time adventure there. I think it's 00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:07.579 going to be a really cool time. Yeah, we're imagining 00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:09.199 that most of the people there who are going to 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.779 be sitting in and listening won't be regular 00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:15.180 listeners and will be... new to our show so we 00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:18.740 want to do something that's true to you know 00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:20.899 fantasy pants with our characters and our setting 00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:23.519 and everything but is inclusive to them who haven't 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.699 heard the show before and it's all on david danny's 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:30.899 going wild down there oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah 00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:36.439 uh i'm gonna puke but hey That's all I got.

Come support David. 00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:43.759 He can use some friendly faces in the crowd. 00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:45.779 They're all going to be friendly faces, though. 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.519 Everyone's going to be there to watch us and 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.079 have a good time.

Speaking of stage fright, 00:06:55.379 --> 00:06:59.879 that sort of moves us into the topic of this 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.660 current episode we're going into now. Now, I 00:07:02.660 --> 00:07:05.740 hope, I hope it wasn't too jarring just sort 00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:07.920 of jumping into the middle of a scenario with 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.060 that last brief arc. I hope it wasn't too wild 00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:14.540 and crazy and jarring for everybody because we're 00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:16.980 going to do it again. Right here, right now. 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.439 You guys ready for this? I don't think so. No. 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.519 Because we're looking at a static screen. The 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.720 usual stuff. Crystal projection. And as the static 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.500 sort of disappears. We hear a voice say, The 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.959 Morning Jewel is recorded in front of a live 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.279 studio audience! And we are popping into a bright, 00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:43.579 lit room. Sparse white walls, crystal chairs, 00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:46.319 maroon fucking everywhere. Just so much maroon, 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.699 so many cushions. It's outrageous how many cushions 00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:51.160 there are in this room. We see a dwarven woman, 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.259 hair in a tight... bun, dark shrewd eyes, and 00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:56.639 a long pipe resting in her mouth. So much purple 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.899 all over her outfit situation. And a trail of 00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:02.459 almost a purplish smoke, like a fuchsia, is rising 00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:05.259 up from the edge of the pipe. She's sitting in 00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:07.279 her own sort of crystal chair, the biggest of 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.300 the lot. And there's almost a long sort of coffee 00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:12.720 table in front of her. And we see there's three 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:17.600 chairs set on this set for the morning jewel. 00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:21.100 And we see those chairs are occupied by Jules 00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:24.579 LaRoche. Jean -Frankly Montelio, and Blanche 00:08:24.579 --> 00:08:29.720 Trudeau. All right. You say so. We're jumping 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.399 in. We'll jump in, then we'll jump out and explain. 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.440 But I'm not done jumping in yet, because I've 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.460 got to say this. Welcome to the Morning Jewel. 00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.779 We always start our days off brilliantly, and 00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:45.200 today we have such a surprise for you all. For 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.379 the first time live on the network, we have Jules 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:50.799 LaRoche, the Midnight Prince. She gestures over 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.580 to you, Jules, and the live studio audience is 00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:57.100 going wild. You know, you made pants people happen. 00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:00.259 You're going to make this happen. You don't coin 00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:02.360 your own nickname. I'm coining one for you. Yeah, 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.279 you can't give yourself a nickname. That's true. 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.120 I hate that so much. How does Jules react to, 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.039 like, this? Do you wave? Do you, like, take this 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.879 in? No. No. He just stares. Yeah. Hell yeah. 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.500 If anything, he gives a nod. But probably not 00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:21.259 even that. Hell yeah. Her hand sweeps beyond 00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:23.820 you to the next chair. Also in attendance is 00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:26.840 Jewel's luminary partner, the turtle, Jean Franklin. 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.200 Won't tell you, so isn't that something? And 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:35.279 Jean's just kind of... Can't really speak. His 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.159 hand is shaking. He's got like a raised hand 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.700 towards the crowd. Everyone's sort of cheering. 00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:45.240 Not quite as loudly. Cheering. He doesn't seem 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.870 to notice. He's both elated and... terrified 00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:51.730 in this moment and uh probably like being glanced 00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:54.629 at from the the elder tortle beside him as a 00:09:54.629 --> 00:09:58.690 as a fubo may turns towards the last guest we 00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:02.029 also have blanche trudeau folks not a luminary 00:10:02.029 --> 00:10:04.830 but one of the heroes of sansatyan really this 00:10:04.830 --> 00:10:07.669 could not be crazier blanche how you taking this 00:10:07.669 --> 00:10:10.250 in the crowd starts cheering for you um thank 00:10:10.250 --> 00:10:23.049 you bubo Bubo? Blanche said Bubo. Jean shoots 00:10:23.049 --> 00:10:29.570 you the darkest glare. Flashback. Keep your cool, 00:10:29.769 --> 00:10:33.230 Jean. You're on the network. Let's talk about 00:10:33.230 --> 00:10:36.830 how we got here. On to the network. This scene 00:10:36.830 --> 00:10:39.110 taking place is happening two days after your 00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:42.669 return from your brief adventure on Danatu. When 00:10:42.669 --> 00:10:44.950 you all arrived back to your homes and onto the 00:10:44.950 --> 00:10:47.950 radiant Seydel, an invitation was waiting for 00:10:47.950 --> 00:10:50.649 each of you. A summons to the morning jewel should 00:10:50.649 --> 00:10:54.009 you choose to accept. Now, I will say that Jean 00:10:54.009 --> 00:10:56.289 Franklin was immediately interested, but also 00:10:56.289 --> 00:10:59.309 just terrified. You guys saw how nervous he was 00:10:59.309 --> 00:11:02.230 in the pig man's aura. And Blanche knows that 00:11:02.230 --> 00:11:05.470 Jean is secretly a huge fanboy of Fubo May. I 00:11:05.470 --> 00:11:07.590 mean, who isn't? Not only is she an incredible 00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:10.460 host, she's also the very mother. A Fu Liling, 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.019 the teapot mage considered to be the second ranked 00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:18.080 luminary in the modern era. Pretty big deal. 00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:21.360 And Jaune is shaking nervous. Wants to puke nervous. 00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:26.100 David nervous about this whole scenario. He's 00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:29.320 also excited. Partially because he can meet some 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.000 of his heroes. He can get out in front of the 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.360 people. But partially because he's considering 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.480 spilling all the dirt he knows during the show. 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.549 Everything he knows about... his father, about 00:11:39.549 --> 00:11:41.549 the Kings of Coin and their little conspiracy, 00:11:41.950 --> 00:11:44.370 the murder he's apparently found evidence of. 00:11:44.690 --> 00:11:47.309 But he's also worried about the lack of that 00:11:47.309 --> 00:11:50.070 evidence. Even the very paper he told you about, 00:11:50.110 --> 00:11:52.090 Blanche, that he wrote, that his father had written, 00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:54.669 he had left where he found it, as he didn't want 00:11:54.669 --> 00:11:57.950 to tip off old DiPiero Montaglio to the discovery 00:11:57.950 --> 00:12:01.289 of this information. Jean has nothing, nothing 00:12:01.289 --> 00:12:04.529 physical, just what he can say. But he wants 00:12:04.529 --> 00:12:06.809 to say it. He wants so badly to see justice done. 00:12:06.889 --> 00:12:10.250 He's eager. dangerously eager. And I'll ask you, 00:12:10.350 --> 00:12:12.629 how did you guide him in this blanch? Because 00:12:12.629 --> 00:12:14.789 he told you everything. He asked you to come. 00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:17.889 He's nervous to do this alone. Whether he's spilling 00:12:17.889 --> 00:12:19.929 the beans or not, he really, really wants you 00:12:19.929 --> 00:12:23.929 there. Would a tadpole announce itself before 00:12:23.929 --> 00:12:27.309 investigating the viper's nest? Or would he take 00:12:27.309 --> 00:12:32.509 them by surprise? I see. Yes. If you plan to 00:12:32.509 --> 00:12:37.559 investigate this, it might be best to... Go in 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.120 discreetly. You must know, sir, this is not the 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.240 only invitation I have received. Father and his 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.519 heir have been asked to, well, a certain party 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.879 on the first day of the March of Vice. A few 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.840 days from now, this is my chance. If all of the 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.200 kings and all of their merchant princes, their 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.840 heirs, are in attendance, there must be evidence 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.059 there as well. There must be a way, someone I 00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:09.379 can turn. If you announce your intentions live 00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:11.860 on the network, the Kings of Coin won't let you 00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:16.360 get close. They may even order me to keep you 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.519 away. Yes, yes, you're right. Very well. Then 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.460 I shall stay clean of this dirty business for 00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:27.340 now. Until I know more. Until I can truly get 00:13:27.340 --> 00:13:30.299 them into the Sky Prison with a lot, right? Right, 00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:34.320 sir? Well, I suppose all that remains to be seen, 00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:37.450 Jean. That is... That is quite the task you have 00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:42.950 given yourself, and I hope you're wrong. We move 00:13:42.950 --> 00:13:45.610 forward in this flashback because another thing 00:13:45.610 --> 00:13:47.870 that you all are privy to, some big information 00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:50.350 that all of you, I imagine, know at this point, 00:13:50.450 --> 00:13:54.330 is information about Tithos. Demilich, Mateo 00:13:54.330 --> 00:13:57.490 Cortez, swore to you that the residents of Tithos 00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:00.389 never entered the domain of death. The world 00:14:00.389 --> 00:14:04.470 in its entirety is alive. Now, after it was... 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.360 The storm was seen destroying it. After communication 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.480 with it was fully brought down, the gemstone 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.320 pulled into the keening gloom. It was assumed 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.460 that everyone had died. Investigations from the 00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:20.460 speakers were said to have been made, and they 00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:24.899 released just the sure knowledge that the world 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:26.620 itself, every resident there, was pronounced 00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:30.480 dead. But if that's not true, I mean, this is 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.340 information that could shake up the worlds. then 00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:35.620 you all have a reason to believe it is not true. 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.740 Do any of you intend to use this opportunity 00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:43.700 in front of the very public of the worlds? Maybe 00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:45.820 feel it out and see if there's a chance to drop 00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:48.980 this bomb? Before Jeremy answers, I'm just going 00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:52.220 to say that this is not Blanche's bag. Blanche 00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:54.700 is not saying anything about that. I think Jean 00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:57.639 feels the same. So no pressure there, Jules LaRoche. 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.840 I haven't properly thought this through. Hey, 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.000 that's how we do it here on Fast Pants. Going 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.179 in blind. We always never properly think things 00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:08.100 through. You don't need to say anything now. 00:15:08.139 --> 00:15:10.419 Yeah, listen to Danny. Is she asking about it? 00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:12.240 Are we going to continue the conversation? I'm 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.480 just curious what your intentions are before 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.840 we go into this. But you don't need to say. You 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.120 can just play it out. Feel it out. I'm going 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.679 to play it out. I will say, too, because I want 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.159 to make sure you guys have reasons for being 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:23.620 here. I don't want to put you here. So there's 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:26.379 one other reason you might have come. So on top 00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:29.570 of all this, there is pay to be made. The Morning 00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:32.309 Jewel will be airing ads for your sponsors. They 00:15:32.309 --> 00:15:33.830 do this for any luminary that comes on to the 00:15:33.830 --> 00:15:36.549 show. And so each of you, except John, because 00:15:36.549 --> 00:15:38.110 he's going to spend it all on sushi right afterwards. 00:15:39.970 --> 00:15:43.350 He doesn't get money anymore. Will receive 100 00:15:43.350 --> 00:15:45.789 gold just for showing up. Oh, baby. Blanche, 00:15:45.789 --> 00:15:47.549 you're not a luminary, but you got, again, you're 00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:52.149 a representative of a merchant king. His wares 00:15:52.149 --> 00:15:53.809 get shown. You get money. It just makes sense. 00:15:53.809 --> 00:15:55.730 Right. The only way Blanche would agree to go 00:15:55.730 --> 00:15:59.039 would be if her. employer asked her to go. I 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:00.919 mean, DiPiero, honestly, because John asked you, 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:02.700 and I think, like, DiPiero, I would hear maybe 00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:04.340 about this and be like, yeah, go ahead. Make 00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:06.240 sure the boy doesn't do anything too foolish. 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.960 Sure. You know, always keep an eye on him. I 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.460 think he's been very cold towards John since 00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.980 he left, but, like, there's definitely an element 00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:17.320 of he's worried. He cares. Right. So. Realistically, 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.740 you actually should have gained some sponsor 00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:21.460 money from that last arc, too, that little rumble 00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:23.220 on Dana, too. Yeah, what's up with that, David? 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.419 Yeah, well, you see, actually, Handsome Jai happened 00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:27.820 to propose during that time, and the news just 00:16:27.820 --> 00:16:30.000 blew up over it. So, like, your little intro 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.240 kind of basically went unnoticed under all that 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.039 buzz. So, yeah, how unfortunate. So, yeah, no. 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.879 You're such a dick. Yeah, yeah, it's a bummer. 00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:43.100 Anyway. I used a potion back there. And you got 00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:44.460 a potion. It was a better potion. There you go. 00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:46.980 You almost died. Yeah, I almost died. You almost 00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:50.539 died. Isn't almost dying its own reward? No. 00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:53.820 No, I was. It's not about money, Steven. It's 00:16:53.820 --> 00:17:05.039 about friendship. And so we flash back to a scene 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.259 with just too much maroon, too many cushions. 00:17:07.930 --> 00:17:11.049 And Fubo May looking at you all. So how you all 00:17:11.049 --> 00:17:13.170 doing? You excited to be here today on my show? 00:17:13.789 --> 00:17:15.630 This is your first time really being out in the 00:17:15.630 --> 00:17:19.170 front, right? Like in the public? It's very exciting. 00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:23.829 Very exciting. Blanche or John is going to have 00:17:23.829 --> 00:17:25.289 to take the lead on this because Jules ain't 00:17:25.289 --> 00:17:27.630 saying shit right now. All right, not big talkers 00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:29.809 in general. That's fine. We'll do more direct 00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:32.130 question asking. That's great. Blanche, who has 00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:33.890 like no business being here, is going to look 00:17:33.890 --> 00:17:40.349 down the couch and see these two frozen. I've 00:17:40.349 --> 00:17:43.170 been in higher pressure situations before Fufu, 00:17:43.170 --> 00:17:45.190 but I've never been on the network. All right, 00:17:45.190 --> 00:17:47.410 well, we'll work on that. The name, it's Fubo. 00:17:47.470 --> 00:17:52.009 No, it's fine. It's all right. All right. Thank 00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:53.890 you for having me. We're going to warm you all 00:17:53.890 --> 00:17:55.829 up, all right? It's fine, darlings. Don't you 00:17:55.829 --> 00:17:59.089 worry about it. Jules, Mr. Jules LaRoche, we 00:17:59.089 --> 00:18:01.470 got a question for you, if that's okay. Yeah, 00:18:01.589 --> 00:18:04.269 sure. The people have been asking. It's all in 00:18:04.269 --> 00:18:06.509 all the hype lately. There's a rumor that the 00:18:06.509 --> 00:18:09.190 Midnight Prince has himself a lover on San Sitian. 00:18:09.769 --> 00:18:13.309 Some have even specified a certain luchadora. 00:18:13.869 --> 00:18:18.170 Are these rumors true, Mr. Midnight Prince? Is 00:18:18.170 --> 00:18:20.730 there a Midnight Princess? Oh, I love it. So, 00:18:20.829 --> 00:18:25.990 oh, so fun. Fuck. Stumped you guys all night. 00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:29.789 You're in for it. You're in for it. Dude, I am 00:18:29.789 --> 00:18:32.250 softballing you right now. You wait until I get 00:18:32.250 --> 00:18:36.589 rough. You wait. Yeah, I don't really like to 00:18:36.589 --> 00:18:41.349 talk about my personal life. Darn it. Well, all 00:18:41.349 --> 00:18:44.569 right. Your eyes say it all. You're in love. 00:18:44.630 --> 00:18:47.710 Look at those eyes. Ah, they shimmer. Oh, my 00:18:47.710 --> 00:18:50.430 goodness. It's a shame you're taken, because 00:18:50.430 --> 00:18:52.930 honestly, you're so handsome, darling. All right, 00:18:52.930 --> 00:18:55.390 well, let's move on. Another question, then. 00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:58.859 Mr. Jean Franklin Montelier, let me ask you this. 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.140 How did the heir to Zinda's fishing industry, 00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:04.640 a prince of coin, end up as sidekick to Zebulon 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.279 Black and now luminary partner to Jules LaRoche? 00:19:07.339 --> 00:19:14.240 What a story. Let's hear it. Well, you see, yes, 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.119 yes, quite a story. Blanche kicks Jean in the 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:25.390 shin. Yes, and so forth, and yes, indeed. Well, 00:19:25.410 --> 00:19:30.829 all right, then. Say indeed. Blanche whispers 00:19:30.829 --> 00:19:35.410 to Jaune, your pits are sweating. Jaune's like, 00:19:35.509 --> 00:19:37.650 he just kind of shuts down. He's up for a treat 00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:41.410 into his shell a little bit. Heighten up, soldier. 00:19:42.589 --> 00:19:45.670 Brace for riptide. He kind of like, his head 00:19:45.670 --> 00:19:51.329 sort of sinks in. Jaune underwent a... strict 00:19:51.329 --> 00:19:54.589 training regimen. All right. Back on his home 00:19:54.589 --> 00:20:00.930 world of Zinda. And he... Wait, did I say it 00:20:00.930 --> 00:20:03.809 wrong? No, no. Oh, okay. I mean, Noiri is the 00:20:03.809 --> 00:20:05.509 home world, but Zinda... Noiri, sure. Honestly, 00:20:05.509 --> 00:20:08.089 people sort of almost see them as like, Zinda 00:20:08.089 --> 00:20:10.529 is Noiri. Right. The Golden Bay is sort of, you 00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:13.309 know, who cares about that place? Yeah. And he 00:20:13.309 --> 00:20:16.009 took his training out into the world, and it's 00:20:16.009 --> 00:20:18.849 no surprise that he's rising to the top. Hey, 00:20:18.849 --> 00:20:21.140 give me a persuasion check. I'm going to do a 00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:22.400 little bit of this. Every once in a while, I'll 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.700 give you guys checks. You're wowing the crowd 00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:26.779 right now. We're going to see how you can build 00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:29.920 up your brand. Really? Maybe. How'd they do? 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.200 Eight on the die. It's just a lukewarm reception 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.880 towards John Franklin in general. I think Fuomei 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.660 kind of notices this and sees like, oh, they 00:20:38.660 --> 00:20:40.380 don't seem that interested. Okay. And she goes, 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.440 all right, well, that's amazing. That's great. 00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:45.779 That's awesome. Lady Blanche, master of defense, 00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:49.069 huh? That's crazy. I got... First of all, I just 00:20:49.069 --> 00:20:52.390 have to ask, darling, is that hair real? And 00:20:52.390 --> 00:20:55.430 who styles it? You look simply fabulous. Well, 00:20:55.490 --> 00:20:59.430 yes, it's quite rare to see a turtle with hair, 00:20:59.509 --> 00:21:03.950 but, well, I shave it daily to keep it short. 00:21:04.190 --> 00:21:07.130 I don't want it to get in the way. Combat and 00:21:07.130 --> 00:21:09.349 whatnot. You shave it daily. That grows really 00:21:09.349 --> 00:21:15.130 fast then. Holy shit. Oops, can't swear on the 00:21:15.130 --> 00:21:20.369 network, sorry. Trim it. Cut it. Okay, that's 00:21:20.369 --> 00:21:23.269 what you meant. It's part of my daily regimen. 00:21:23.890 --> 00:21:27.009 I keep it myself. All right, all right. Wow, 00:21:27.109 --> 00:21:31.529 this is harping, folks. This is harping. Would 00:21:31.529 --> 00:21:34.630 you mind if we skip the... We had the pleasantries 00:21:34.630 --> 00:21:36.430 here, but there's a lot of questions people want 00:21:36.430 --> 00:21:37.990 to know the answers to. They're a little more 00:21:37.990 --> 00:21:40.569 uncomfortable. If it's okay if I move into them. 00:21:41.150 --> 00:21:42.970 Honestly, Fubu, I'd like to get this out of the 00:21:42.970 --> 00:21:44.609 way and done as soon as possible. All right. 00:21:47.289 --> 00:21:53.750 Why are you here? It's so creepy. It's an ad 00:21:53.750 --> 00:21:56.109 for the fishing king in the background. Look 00:21:56.109 --> 00:21:59.609 at this big old Golden Bay halibut. All right, 00:21:59.609 --> 00:22:03.049 all right. Now, as I said, I hate to get uncomfortable, 00:22:03.309 --> 00:22:06.089 but Jules LaRoche, I have to ask. This has been 00:22:06.089 --> 00:22:08.230 a big question. Everyone's been ringing with 00:22:08.230 --> 00:22:11.089 it, and to hear it here would be great for us 00:22:11.089 --> 00:22:14.049 and for you to really get this out. Your family. 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:15.960 has been the subject of some great controversy 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.960 following Samuel LaRoche's affiliations with 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.900 Itzman Del Prado. And now it's well known that 00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:26.599 you left home at an early age to live among the 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:28.940 streets of Cerule. Public opinion has always 00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:31.839 pegged you as some kind of deviant soul or whatever. 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.359 But now we're all left wondering at the truth. 00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:36.619 Did you know about your father's involvement 00:22:36.619 --> 00:22:38.480 with criminals and demon worshippers? Did you 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.339 leave to get away from all that? We're all wondering, 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.640 are you actually the secret hero we've been waiting 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.799 for all along? Are you our Prince Charming, Mr. 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:54.579 LaRoche? Wink. I'm surprised that there's still 00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:57.279 people out there that don't know. And those that 00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:01.380 don't, you better get fucking wise. Oh, can I 00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:03.319 swear? I don't think you can swear on the network. 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:06.480 We try not to. We'll bleep it out. Bleep it, 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:08.940 bleep it, yeah. Jammie, Jammie will bleep it 00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:14.319 out. Jammie's our editor. He's over there. I 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.920 post. Good. Excellent. Wow. I mean, this is, 00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:21.359 I want to pull up the string of the sweater, 00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:23.440 unravel it. What are we getting wise to, Mr. 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.480 Jules? We know now that at least elements of 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.759 your family have been involved in this cult and 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.279 whatever. How about your cousin? Your mother? 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.440 We don't know about them yet, but maybe you could... 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.160 I don't have all the answers yet. And I need 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.640 all of your help. Don't believe everything you're 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.839 told. Question everyone in power. There's like 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.259 this grin growing on Fuomei's face like she realized 00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:54.640 this is hot. Yes. All right. Question everyone 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.880 in power. I like it. Like who? Anyone in particular 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.299 we want to question. Mr. Jules. Mr. Midnight 00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:05.420 Prince. Tython's is still out there somewhere. 00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.519 You are all being lied to. And the three of us, 00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:15.960 we can't do this alone. The crowd's... All right, 00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:19.140 all right. That's... Wow, that is... Oh, my goodness. 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:24.200 It's heating up the room. Question those in power. 00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:30.579 Make them tell you the truth. I want a persuasion 00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:33.559 check from you. I want a persuasion check from 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.160 you here. The crowd is going wild. Which way 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:38.940 are they going? Do they hate this? Is this inflaming 00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.920 them? Are they getting into it? Do you know what 00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:41.960 my persuasion is? It's pretty high. Fucking plus 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.980 10. All right, let's see it. So that's a dirty 00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:50.599 20. Nice. I mean, the crowd. The way it looks 00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.140 out. They're going wild, but you see there's 00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:54.579 almost like chanting. They look excited. They 00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:58.079 look interested. They look like you're bringing 00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:59.420 this to the forefront of their minds. You're 00:24:59.420 --> 00:25:01.930 getting them into it. I think if he only sees 00:25:01.930 --> 00:25:03.690 this and almost, like, puts a hand up, like, 00:25:03.730 --> 00:25:05.210 this is almost dangerous. Like, all right, all 00:25:05.210 --> 00:25:10.109 right, that's great. No. This is serious. It 00:25:10.109 --> 00:25:13.049 is. It's very serious. This is great stuff. Mine, 00:25:13.470 --> 00:25:16.450 yours, and everybody's future depends on this. 00:25:17.390 --> 00:25:22.569 Ask questions. All right. Don't sit back. The 00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:24.849 only way we're going to do this is if we're all 00:25:24.849 --> 00:25:28.880 doing this together. And it's just long. Sort 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:30.779 of stunned. Even the crowd just goes silent. 00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:33.980 Jaune's out of his shell now, just staring at 00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:40.900 you. Ask questions. Yes, I should ask another 00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:43.559 question. Jewel stands up and walks off. You're 00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.019 starting to walk away? I think the real question 00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:48.740 is, how did you get this job, Miss Lucho May? 00:25:50.779 --> 00:25:53.819 You begin to walk off the stage, and she's just 00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:55.240 kind of sitting there stunned, like, all right, 00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:58.579 I, uh, and she stops. You see there's almost 00:25:58.579 --> 00:26:01.859 a little crystal -like piece in her ear. Wait. 00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:05.420 Mr. Lelouch, wait, wait, wait. Stop him. And 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:07.339 some people just kind of move forward, just sort 00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:08.700 of holding her in your way, not doing anything, 00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:09.960 just kind of staying at the edge of the stage. 00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:13.279 And she's, right now. Who's in your ear? Really, 00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:20.619 right? All ratings. I can't exactly say no. Okay. 00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:25.569 Okay. She turns, but before you're, like, moving 00:26:25.569 --> 00:26:28.349 out, I think, like, you're stepping over towards 00:26:28.349 --> 00:26:30.150 the curtain to, like, leave through the back. 00:26:30.549 --> 00:26:35.309 And there's this sensation, this pressure that 00:26:35.309 --> 00:26:37.829 halts in your place before you push through. 00:26:38.549 --> 00:26:42.009 And you hear Fuway behind you go, Ladies and 00:26:42.009 --> 00:26:44.809 gentlemen, we have a sudden, very exciting turn 00:26:44.809 --> 00:26:47.450 of events. Despite years of trying, this will 00:26:47.450 --> 00:26:49.849 be the first time that this new guest will have 00:26:49.849 --> 00:26:55.089 ever appeared on our show. Uh -oh. You got any 00:26:55.089 --> 00:26:57.190 guesses? Let's see what music he's got queued 00:26:57.190 --> 00:26:59.930 up first. I mean, I'm guessing Atash would be 00:26:59.930 --> 00:27:04.650 horrible. Yeah. She looks up. Atash or? Towards 00:27:04.650 --> 00:27:07.609 the top. Music. I know. Mateen, you can dim the 00:27:07.609 --> 00:27:11.529 lights. Go ahead. Dim it all. He sort of brings 00:27:11.529 --> 00:27:16.369 his own spotlight. Yeah. And you see light. As 00:27:16.369 --> 00:27:18.430 a room dims, you see light begin to glow behind 00:27:18.430 --> 00:27:21.529 the curtain that you stand before. A silhouette. 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.839 moving along with it, stepping right before you. 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:32.680 And the curtain opens as a great, radiant form 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:37.000 pushes through. Ladies and gentlemen, the king 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.240 of Anker and Sengar, the first luminary, the 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:46.259 hand of the Sunweaver, Atash! In the crowd goes 00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:50.839 absolutely ballistic jewels. You stand in front. 00:27:51.609 --> 00:27:54.730 Of Atash. Blanche is standing and doing a little 00:27:54.730 --> 00:27:59.970 golf clap. Jaune's back in his shell. Atash. 00:28:01.910 --> 00:28:07.569 To attention, soldier. Yes, sir. Atash freezes. 00:28:08.089 --> 00:28:12.769 He is tall. Like 10, 11 feet. Almost as tall 00:28:12.769 --> 00:28:16.869 as the pig man. His eyes are just this pool of 00:28:16.869 --> 00:28:20.480 burning luminescence. His... Wings, great sort 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:24.200 of flames that give off no heat, but so much 00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:29.480 light, so much pressure. He looks down towards 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:35.119 you. Do you say anything? Are you leaving the 00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:40.299 show? I thought it had only just started. Please. 00:28:41.140 --> 00:28:45.220 I've been wanting to meet you. Midnight Prince. 00:28:46.890 --> 00:28:50.309 I make an effort to introduce myself to heroes 00:28:50.309 --> 00:28:54.049 of note and renown. The good people who will 00:28:54.049 --> 00:28:57.710 change our worlds for the better. I see so much 00:28:57.710 --> 00:29:03.650 good in you. He holds out a hand to shake. Can 00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:06.450 I roll insight on that? This is like an immense 00:29:06.450 --> 00:29:08.509 moment. And I think you see people behind you 00:29:08.509 --> 00:29:10.849 too. Remember this, Atash is beloved. And everything 00:29:10.849 --> 00:29:16.599 that happens here, it creates your image. It 00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:19.900 forms what the public thinks of you. Right now, 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:21.960 there's this strange sort of defensive position 00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.500 where your family is seen as demon worshippers. 00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:28.480 And maybe there's an undercurrent of people who 00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:30.440 think Jules might be following suit as well. 00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:33.660 This might be a good thing. And yes, you can 00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:39.339 roll insight. 13. Could Jules do the same? Yeah. 00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:45.960 Absolutely. No. Four on the die. He... You look 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.720 up at his eyes and he's smiling. He's actually 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.839 quite charming. There's a charisma to his presence. 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.900 Almost like he also has a plus 10 charisma bonus. 00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:55.220 I was going to say, yeah. I was like, there's 00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:57.240 no way we're going to get that anyway. Almost 00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:01.119 like that. He's just smiling down at you. Jules 00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:04.579 will not shake his hand. He will walk back to 00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:08.839 the chair. But as he walks, he looks out to the 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:13.799 crowd. People in power. And then sits back down. 00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:18.680 Those burning eyes hold no pupils, yet there's 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.480 an impression that they are following your every 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.660 step as you move to your seat. Atash steps fully 00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:34.559 out before the crowd. Greetings! Everyone goes 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:38.440 absolutely wild. Fuomei is like, like, her hand 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.039 shaking. This is an upset she never expected 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.150 on this show. Natash turns towards her, steps 00:30:44.150 --> 00:30:50.910 slowly across towards her. My Lady Fubome, I 00:30:50.910 --> 00:30:53.589 thank you graciously for allowing me to come 00:30:53.589 --> 00:30:59.009 upon your stage. Perhaps you would like a break. 00:30:59.609 --> 00:31:04.710 I thought it could be fun were I to host the 00:31:04.710 --> 00:31:09.369 show in your stead. I'm sure our guests would 00:31:09.369 --> 00:31:20.779 not mind. This is largely unusual. Those burning 00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:24.579 eyes just staring. Yeah, yeah, fun. It'll be 00:31:24.579 --> 00:31:27.000 fun. I'll get some refreshments for you. Just 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:31.900 a wave if you need anything at all. Blanche looks 00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:33.579 to you guys' eyes, believing, and starts to scurry 00:31:33.579 --> 00:31:36.059 away. Blanche reaches out and grabs Fubo's arm 00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:38.519 as she passes by and pulls her in for a whisper. 00:31:38.859 --> 00:31:43.420 I don't get it. Is it like... Two names? Or is 00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:46.119 it all one altogether? I'm going to skip giving 00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:54.460 you refreshments. He just pulls away. Oh. Atash. 00:31:54.660 --> 00:31:56.460 What the fuck are you doing, David? What am I 00:31:56.460 --> 00:32:04.220 doing? Atash goes to sit in the seat that Fuumei 00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:07.079 had just been occupying. It is a large seat for 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.380 this dwarven woman. For Atash, it is. ridiculously 00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:13.339 small. He barely sort of, his legs sort of folded 00:32:13.339 --> 00:32:16.880 outwards as he just tries to squat down into 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.160 it. And yet he somehow seems to fill it with 00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.700 such majesty. It doesn't look comical. It looks 00:32:22.700 --> 00:32:30.019 terrifying. I have seen you all before. I have 00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:35.220 saved you all before, yet we have never formally 00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:42.690 met. I am Arthash. And I am pleased to meet some 00:32:42.690 --> 00:32:47.390 of our world's most heroic figures. I suppose 00:32:47.390 --> 00:32:54.470 I should think of a question. Jaune is like stammering, 00:32:54.470 --> 00:32:57.009 terrified. How are you guys holding up? This 00:32:57.009 --> 00:33:02.009 is a weird moment. This is an unexpected turn. 00:33:02.369 --> 00:33:05.190 How is it affecting these characters? I'm sorry, 00:33:05.230 --> 00:33:10.079 Steven. For what? For doing this. Oh boy. Well, 00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:13.640 I was going to say that Blanche is fairly military 00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.380 -minded. I don't think she's... She's not losing 00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:20.579 her cool. Hell yeah. Jules has his just blank 00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:25.920 defiant stare on Atash. He looks between you 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:35.160 all. A question. Ah. You are heroes. So tell 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:41.980 me, what does heroism mean? To you? Blanche will 00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:45.880 stand up to answer. Quite simple, really. I believe 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.220 that heroism is doing what is right and protecting 00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:53.079 those who can't protect themselves. And she bows 00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.519 deeply and sits down. He nods. That impression 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:01.099 of a gaze falls on Jaune, who I think maybe for 00:34:01.099 --> 00:34:07.889 some prodding also stands up. Yes, Anna? And 00:34:07.889 --> 00:34:14.369 law. And, of course, he just full passes out. 00:34:16.309 --> 00:34:19.170 Collasses back into the chair. Convenient. Oh, 00:34:19.210 --> 00:34:20.929 no. Looks like my character can't talk to my 00:34:20.929 --> 00:34:26.489 character. Oh, man. Funny how that happens. Atash 00:34:26.489 --> 00:34:30.469 nods again, but, like, less so. Turns to you, 00:34:30.510 --> 00:34:32.570 Jules. Do you have an answer to this question 00:34:32.570 --> 00:34:35.840 that's not going to get you all killed? I'm just 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.559 kidding. It's friendly. Hey, it's a talk show. 00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:43.519 What are you scared of? Telling the truth. His 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:48.400 head cocks just a little. Another fine answer. 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.500 I do not know if it is bad form to answer my 00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:59.800 own question, but I feel a desire. To me, heroes 00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:05.380 stand as symbols. Our constructs stand as symbols. 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:09.780 And the symbols we form forge peace, even through 00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:14.400 our inaction. Think of my sky prison, which the 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:19.260 unwise might call immoral. The very idea of this 00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:22.679 construct strikes fear into the hearts of would 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:26.659 -be criminals. Without even lifting a finger 00:35:26.659 --> 00:35:29.760 to point in their direction, I halt them in their 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:36.300 tracks. I save. lives. I believe a hero is determined 00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:40.679 not by their actions, not by their beliefs, but 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.619 by their impression upon the worlds. By their 00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:48.420 very gravity. And what about those who abuse 00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:54.099 it? There is ever space in the sky prison for 00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:59.429 those deserving. You helped me. You helped me 00:35:59.429 --> 00:36:02.349 to root out the evils that plagued San Satyan 00:36:02.349 --> 00:36:07.909 and the world's - Like Pigman? Yes. Exactly. 00:36:08.690 --> 00:36:10.869 Why don't you tell these people all about that 00:36:10.869 --> 00:36:13.789 and let them decide for themselves? You would 00:36:13.789 --> 00:36:17.769 defend the Etin. That's right, the Etin. Yes! 00:36:18.750 --> 00:36:21.809 I'm just trying to get them the truth. The truth 00:36:21.809 --> 00:36:26.320 of the monster that hides behind a mask? Now, 00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:29.460 I believe there was very footage of Pigman himself 00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:34.019 trying to murder you, Blanche Trudeau. And who 00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:37.639 was it that saved you from that certain demise? 00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:43.599 It was not his fault. He, in that sense, he cannot 00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:47.320 defend himself. And nor can the innocent against 00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:51.300 the wrath of the powerful. So you send them away 00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:57.900 instead of helping? Those who commit crimes deserve 00:36:57.900 --> 00:37:03.000 no help. I prefer to see the innocent. How long 00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:07.480 will you hold him, the pig man? Who we all know 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.380 and love, I believe. The crowd is booing. The 00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:16.460 network has not been kind to the pig man. He 00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:20.539 has been colored as... One of the instigators 00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:23.059 behind everything wrong with Sansatyan, everything 00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:25.420 wrong with the sort of upper society, the sort 00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:28.960 of schism there. And he's been colored as a monster. 00:37:29.619 --> 00:37:33.159 A true monster. The persona of the pig man, everyone 00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:37.039 says, was just an act. Hiding the brutal creature 00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.679 within. Are they wrong? Do you think they're 00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.480 wrong? Atash doesn't. You can see that in his 00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:49.039 gaze. This is a firm belief. And the worlds are 00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:52.159 better off because you, Blanche Trudeau, revealed 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:55.940 this monster for what he was. Oh my goodness, 00:37:56.079 --> 00:38:00.179 I have no idea what to say to Atash. This is 00:38:00.179 --> 00:38:02.980 the first time this conversation has happened. 00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:05.559 You've seen Atash. You've never truly spoken 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:10.639 with Atash. Why here? Why now? Why? Fubame said 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.519 that this has never happened before. Let me ask 00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:19.929 you this, Blanche Trudeau. You were an apprentice 00:38:19.929 --> 00:38:25.429 of the Storm Eye, a known terrorist. Would you 00:38:25.429 --> 00:38:29.670 see him imprisoned as well? I knew the Storm 00:38:29.670 --> 00:38:36.230 Eye as you did. I liked him. But I would not 00:38:36.230 --> 00:38:40.449 halt for a second to see him behind bars for 00:38:40.449 --> 00:38:44.170 an eternity. And to answer your earlier question 00:38:44.170 --> 00:38:49.119 for crimes committed. and for cavorting with 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.300 the forces of demons. The pigmen will be held 00:38:52.300 --> 00:38:59.280 for 500 years. 500 years are an eternity. Those 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:03.179 punishments are not helpful. They are brutal. 00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.500 Roll persuasion. We're in a battle now, though. 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.000 So I'm also going to roll persuasion. All right, 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.199 I'm going to use a button. This is a battle. 00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.250 Am I really going to use a button? Fine. It's 00:39:15.250 --> 00:39:16.929 a plus zero. I'm going to use a button. If you 00:39:16.929 --> 00:39:18.750 use a button, I'm going to give him for disadvantage. 00:39:19.929 --> 00:39:24.530 Whoa. Okay. Wow. Yeah. I'll take that. Okay. 00:39:24.710 --> 00:39:28.849 Okay. Holy shit. Man, that's three buttons across 00:39:28.849 --> 00:39:33.449 the table. This is too important, I think. Yeah. 00:39:34.150 --> 00:39:36.630 We need someone on our side. Yeah. David's really 00:39:36.630 --> 00:39:39.710 good at making enemies for us. Yeah. Not an enemy 00:39:39.710 --> 00:39:41.530 you want to make today. First roll's an 18 on 00:39:41.530 --> 00:39:46.300 the die, and it's just a plus zero, so. 18's 00:39:46.300 --> 00:39:49.760 the high. He does. No, wait, no. Sorry, I rolled 00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:51.840 once. I have a disadvantage. I did beat you. 00:39:52.059 --> 00:39:54.079 Let's see if I still beat you. Yeah, because 00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:56.000 it's charisma, and he's got a plus 10 or something. 00:39:56.619 --> 00:40:00.380 It's a very close thing. He does edge out. Son 00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:03.099 of a bitch. Sorry, kids, we're on the network. 00:40:03.780 --> 00:40:05.960 I think in this, though, with it being close, 00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:09.039 it's not like an overwhelming surge of applause 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.360 towards him and sort of booing towards your sort 00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:14.800 of pointing out faults of his. I think there's... 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.320 Some people that, kind of like yelling out towards 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.760 you angrily. But there are people in the back, 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.960 people muttering quietly to each other. Maybe 00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:29.719 see righteousness in your words. Think of your 00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:32.619 worst enemy, she says, addressing the crowd. 00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:36.940 Who has done you so wrong that you would see 00:40:36.940 --> 00:40:43.989 them punished for an eternity? All of time? There 00:40:43.989 --> 00:40:48.949 is... I can think of no crime. When a murderer 00:40:48.949 --> 00:40:54.469 takes the life of someone's partner, is not the 00:40:54.469 --> 00:40:59.550 widow left with an eternity of suffering? Is 00:40:59.550 --> 00:41:03.329 it not equal to steal from them what they've 00:41:03.329 --> 00:41:06.530 stolen from others in the pursuit of justice? 00:41:07.170 --> 00:41:10.150 What about those who were manipulated and controlled 00:41:10.150 --> 00:41:13.739 to do those things? What about those who were 00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:17.679 forced to become an abomination? Right and wrong 00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:21.739 is always a choice. What if the perpetrator was 00:41:21.739 --> 00:41:24.260 not just a mask, but a puppet? Then they should 00:41:24.260 --> 00:41:27.659 have cut their strings before harming others. 00:41:28.260 --> 00:41:32.380 Always there is a choice. Always there are consequences 00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:37.320 for the wrong choices. This is wrong. This is 00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:44.409 right. this. This is really hard. This is a tough 00:41:44.409 --> 00:41:46.250 one for you guys. Are you saying that you're 00:41:46.250 --> 00:41:48.489 the one that gets to say what's right and what's 00:41:48.489 --> 00:41:55.010 wrong? Yes. I am the hand of the Sunweaver. Our 00:41:55.010 --> 00:41:59.309 greatest god himself chose me to step in in the 00:41:59.309 --> 00:42:01.849 world's time of need to guide them in the right 00:42:01.849 --> 00:42:07.329 direction. And guide I shall. Jules looks out 00:42:07.329 --> 00:42:10.480 to the audience. Looks at some The random guy. 00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:14.480 You want him telling what's right for you? Guy 00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:19.079 just kind of, don't look at me. Come on, give 00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:21.340 me someone with a little more confidence. Conductor 00:42:21.340 --> 00:42:24.260 goes, I don't know, maybe. Isn't that for you 00:42:24.260 --> 00:42:27.480 to decide? I sure didn't choose. Sunweaver who? 00:42:29.980 --> 00:42:35.059 Yeah, what world do you come from? I'm from, 00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:38.650 shit, what's the world? Shankavumi. Uh, sir. 00:42:38.750 --> 00:42:41.670 Do you worship the Sunweaver? Uh, no, no, our 00:42:41.670 --> 00:42:44.449 rivers are sort of our deities. Jules moves on 00:42:44.449 --> 00:42:47.250 to the next guy. Where are you from? Uh, I'm, 00:42:47.329 --> 00:42:50.010 uh, from Xing. Do you worship the Sunweaver? 00:42:50.369 --> 00:42:52.829 No, no, just the, uh, the spirit of the land 00:42:52.829 --> 00:42:54.449 of the ancient ones. Moves on to the next guy. 00:42:54.909 --> 00:42:57.170 What about you? You're testing all my lore here. 00:42:57.190 --> 00:42:59.949 This is tough. Hold on, let him grab his notebook. 00:43:00.849 --> 00:43:05.269 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm from Sunset Yard. Hey, 00:43:05.409 --> 00:43:09.309 it's... I saw you there. I don't know. So why 00:43:09.309 --> 00:43:11.170 are you letting the sun wave have any power over 00:43:11.170 --> 00:43:14.710 you guys? Who do you worship? Look, Katrina, 00:43:14.929 --> 00:43:20.929 I think Atash cuts in here. Luminaries. Luminaries 00:43:20.929 --> 00:43:26.050 stand as the modern paragons. Luminaries decide 00:43:26.050 --> 00:43:28.469 what is right and wrong because we are chosen 00:43:28.469 --> 00:43:31.889 by the people. Who chose me to be a luminary? 00:43:32.090 --> 00:43:34.949 Yes, luminaries that do their work for all the 00:43:34.949 --> 00:43:39.800 worlds. Not for just their own. You would lecture 00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:44.099 me on what is right. Very well, let us move on 00:43:44.099 --> 00:43:47.300 to another question. This is so fun. Is it not 00:43:47.300 --> 00:43:50.739 fun? Kyle raises his hands up. I have a question 00:43:50.739 --> 00:43:54.440 more specifically directed for you, Jules LaRoche. 00:43:55.300 --> 00:43:59.139 I would like to know why you lie so blatantly 00:43:59.139 --> 00:44:06.769 to the public. Hmm? Where is Tythos? I would 00:44:06.769 --> 00:44:09.389 think following investigations that you could 00:44:09.389 --> 00:44:12.869 take the Speaker's word on the fate of your world. 00:44:13.110 --> 00:44:17.030 I understand it is hard to accept that you have 00:44:17.030 --> 00:44:21.929 lost your home, your friends. But heroes must 00:44:21.929 --> 00:44:25.170 face harsh realities. None of them showed up 00:44:25.170 --> 00:44:30.269 on the other side. Explain that. And you were 00:44:30.269 --> 00:44:34.380 on the other side to bear? witness. What happens 00:44:34.380 --> 00:44:41.579 on Sansatyan? Yo. Do we have the recording, Diamond? 00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:48.179 Yes. Jules does. Oh, fucking. Because Zebulon 00:44:48.179 --> 00:44:51.420 was the one who... He said that. What happens 00:44:51.420 --> 00:44:55.320 on Sansatyan every year? I believe I am hosting 00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:58.559 the show. If you're to ask a question, why not 00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:03.050 answer it yourself? Okay. Jules takes out the 00:45:03.050 --> 00:45:06.449 diamond, the recording diamond. Are we doing 00:45:06.449 --> 00:45:10.710 this? Fuck yeah. There is a camera, sort of projector, 00:45:11.030 --> 00:45:13.489 kind of facing this. I think that's kind of one 00:45:13.489 --> 00:45:14.489 of the things they have on set, because they're 00:45:14.489 --> 00:45:15.909 going to have slideshow stuff on the white wall 00:45:15.909 --> 00:45:18.369 behind. You can move over and slide it into place. 00:45:19.070 --> 00:45:22.809 He does just that? You cut to the point where 00:45:22.809 --> 00:45:28.250 Zebulon speaks of Mateo's words. You know where 00:45:28.250 --> 00:45:30.010 it is. You've probably watched this footage before 00:45:30.010 --> 00:45:32.070 a few times. You cut it down, you edit it, you 00:45:32.070 --> 00:45:34.510 hit that point. First time this perhaps has been 00:45:34.510 --> 00:45:39.550 shown on the network. And it boots to life. Sibulon's 00:45:39.550 --> 00:45:43.670 words play out. The crowd, silent. Atash stands 00:45:43.670 --> 00:45:48.849 before it and goes off. I take it back immediately. 00:45:49.809 --> 00:45:52.429 Maybe this is just a pause. Yeah, I'm trying 00:45:52.429 --> 00:45:54.809 to figure out what Atash is like. What's his 00:45:54.809 --> 00:45:58.219 reaction like? Roll insight. It's hard to read. 00:45:58.300 --> 00:46:01.039 His face is like generally kind of a slight smile, 00:46:01.219 --> 00:46:04.260 very easy. It's a 19 for Jules. Single digits. 00:46:06.579 --> 00:46:10.460 His brow twitches just a little bit above his 00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:15.940 eye. Something has annoyed him here. How convenient. 00:46:16.980 --> 00:46:21.079 So we are to believe the word of a dead man who 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:25.650 spoke to another dead man. Impossibility upon 00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:29.230 impossibility. And through this, we will question 00:46:29.230 --> 00:46:31.989 the trustworthiness of the Speaker's own investigator. 00:46:32.829 --> 00:46:35.650 Whoever it was that initially declared the world's 00:46:35.650 --> 00:46:38.369 destruction, you do not think this was seen into, 00:46:38.469 --> 00:46:41.030 you don't think this was investigated properly? 00:46:41.909 --> 00:46:44.789 You would question this person? That's what Jules 00:46:44.789 --> 00:46:46.929 has been saying all along, to question those 00:46:46.929 --> 00:46:50.869 in power, including yourself. Why should we believe 00:46:50.869 --> 00:46:54.820 you more than we should believe... Zebulon. Because 00:46:54.820 --> 00:46:57.059 the person who investigated this matter for the 00:46:57.059 --> 00:47:02.659 speakers was me. Just this last falls over the 00:47:02.659 --> 00:47:06.519 room. I am the one who declared the death of 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:10.840 Tithos. My men investigated fully and completely. 00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:15.980 It is truth. Perhaps your footage is correct. 00:47:16.019 --> 00:47:19.500 Perhaps. The souls of those destroyed were destroyed 00:47:19.500 --> 00:47:22.119 as well. Perhaps there was no afterlife beyond 00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:26.679 the keening gloom. A fate worse than death. Is 00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:28.860 this what you wish to broadcast to the world? 00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:31.539 Will you tell me who would deserve a fate worse 00:47:31.539 --> 00:47:34.659 than death? All those innocent people on Tythos? 00:47:35.099 --> 00:47:38.559 They deserve nothing. But we all deserve to know 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.380 the truth. I would love to see this. Why do they 00:47:42.380 --> 00:47:47.070 deserve nothing? Explain that. They deserve nothing 00:47:47.070 --> 00:47:52.949 bad. You would put words in my mouth, Jules LaRoche. 00:47:53.369 --> 00:47:56.150 No, you're the one doing the talking. Troll persuasion 00:47:56.150 --> 00:48:00.510 checks again. See where the crowd's at. Oh, God. 00:48:01.070 --> 00:48:07.369 Bad? Sounds bad. Bad. Natural one. Someone makes 00:48:07.369 --> 00:48:12.190 a horse noise in the... Is it too late for Blanche 00:48:12.190 --> 00:48:15.320 to argue the help action, maybe? I mean, she's 00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.500 been arguing with him. Say something cool, and 00:48:17.500 --> 00:48:19.260 I'll give it to you. I've been saying cool stuff. 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:23.739 Say something cool again. I'm just going to give 00:48:23.739 --> 00:48:25.619 it to you. You said cool things, but what else? 00:48:25.619 --> 00:48:30.300 So you come here prophesying eternity in prison 00:48:30.300 --> 00:48:35.099 and no afterlife? Why should anybody listen to 00:48:35.099 --> 00:48:37.000 what you have to say? Take the help action. I 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:38.260 don't want to take the help action. All right. 00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:45.019 Advantage for whatever that was. 16. Still. They're 00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:47.519 not neighing anymore. They got over that fast. 00:48:47.699 --> 00:48:49.860 But now they're just kind of going like whispers, 00:48:49.860 --> 00:48:52.219 quiet. There's some sort of a rising sort of 00:48:52.219 --> 00:48:55.219 cheer for Atash in the back. He looks taller, 00:48:55.500 --> 00:48:59.760 brighter, more smug. You are free to say what 00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:03.380 you will. Spread what lies you will. I simply 00:49:03.380 --> 00:49:06.679 wanted to come before you. Turns towards like 00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:10.260 the crystal cameras on the wall points. The worlds. 00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:16.219 I want to tell you. The truth. That Jules LaRoche 00:49:16.219 --> 00:49:21.860 would harm you, spread lies, give you false hope. 00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:31.099 That is my only goal. Cut that space out. But 00:49:31.099 --> 00:49:36.590 now I can't. Damn it. His gaze sort of sweeps 00:49:36.590 --> 00:49:38.849 the room, his arms outstretched. The people begin 00:49:38.849 --> 00:49:41.849 to sort of, like, start cheering his name. Arthash! 00:49:42.309 --> 00:49:46.170 Arthash! Arthash! Arthash! And with sort of a 00:49:46.170 --> 00:49:49.170 sweeping sort of step, he begins to move to the 00:49:49.170 --> 00:49:51.989 side. Fuomei starts walking back with a tray 00:49:51.989 --> 00:49:55.510 of, like, of, I don't know, goblets with some 00:49:55.510 --> 00:49:58.230 sort of delicious -looking sparkly liquid on 00:49:58.230 --> 00:50:00.550 the inside, like a golden sort of... Blanche 00:50:00.550 --> 00:50:03.860 is making the like. Like she's running her hand 00:50:03.860 --> 00:50:06.019 across her throat like, nah, nah, wrong time, 00:50:06.139 --> 00:50:08.539 wrong time. He takes one. He's just like big 00:50:08.539 --> 00:50:15.659 fingers. Thank you, Fubo Peep. It's confusing. 00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:22.420 I'm sorry. I just don't. One last shot of that. 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:28.139 He looks towards you guys. I thank you for allowing 00:50:28.139 --> 00:50:33.409 me to intrude. upon your interview. It really 00:50:33.409 --> 00:50:40.829 has been fun. He begins to walk away. Jewel stands 00:50:40.829 --> 00:50:44.809 up. Oh? And what about your intrusion on Sansatyan? 00:50:45.710 --> 00:50:49.789 Oh, he stops. What are you still doing there? 00:50:49.969 --> 00:50:54.050 That belongs to the people of Sansatyan. The 00:50:54.050 --> 00:50:57.710 people of Sansatyan elected leaders that betrayed 00:50:57.710 --> 00:51:02.480 them. I lost. Soldiers. That's nice. To save 00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:06.539 them. It's not your world. It's not for you to 00:51:06.539 --> 00:51:09.420 go in there and take over. And Jules again looks 00:51:09.420 --> 00:51:12.500 to the guys in the front. You want Atash to come 00:51:12.500 --> 00:51:15.280 and take over your world? Oh, man. The battle's 00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:18.320 not over. Woo. Oh, a second win. Second surge. 00:51:18.420 --> 00:51:20.940 Okay. Atash, he's like at the curtain. He has 00:51:20.940 --> 00:51:23.059 his hand on it. And he sort of lets his list. 00:51:23.179 --> 00:51:24.860 He sort of sweeps around. The people in the front 00:51:24.860 --> 00:51:26.300 are kind of looking at each other. Don't you 00:51:26.300 --> 00:51:28.500 think you all should have your own voice in your 00:51:28.500 --> 00:51:32.840 own world? Good or bad, it's yours, not his. 00:51:33.239 --> 00:51:40.079 And if my voice saves lives, corrects injustices, 00:51:40.179 --> 00:51:41.860 you would deny it? It's still your voice. It's 00:51:41.860 --> 00:51:46.940 not theirs. He begins to move back towards you. 00:51:47.780 --> 00:51:51.780 Slow steps, this towering figure, so bright you 00:51:51.780 --> 00:51:53.940 could barely take it. He seems to be shining 00:51:53.940 --> 00:51:56.760 brighter and brighter. I want persuasion check 00:51:56.760 --> 00:51:59.190 from you. I want to give the help. What are you 00:51:59.190 --> 00:52:02.070 doing? Say something cool again. I will say something 00:52:02.070 --> 00:52:05.690 cool like right now. Yeah. Well, at least they 00:52:05.690 --> 00:52:10.570 were elected. I can't say the same for you. So 00:52:10.570 --> 00:52:23.989 then the crowd goes, oh, shit. You're an asshole. 00:52:25.369 --> 00:52:27.869 Yeah, take advantage. No, I do like that. I do 00:52:27.869 --> 00:52:35.309 like that. 29. That's really high. There we go. 00:52:36.210 --> 00:52:38.409 Now we're playing a game. Hey, let's have fun 00:52:38.409 --> 00:52:41.869 with this. Let's put the old port -a -pain right 00:52:41.869 --> 00:52:45.070 in the middle of the table. Fucking port -a -pain 00:52:45.070 --> 00:52:48.710 has been crushing all night. I have a plus 10. 00:52:48.750 --> 00:52:50.909 I'm using the full metal captain's die, and I 00:52:50.909 --> 00:52:53.150 have been crushing with these rolls pretty well. 00:52:53.570 --> 00:53:00.019 Stop. Will I crush this one? No. You will not. 00:53:00.139 --> 00:53:04.260 What is it? Four on the die. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. 00:53:04.420 --> 00:53:08.659 Oh, shit. The guy in the crowd goes, oh, shit. 00:53:11.300 --> 00:53:14.639 And maybe like... That's right. He wasn't elected. 00:53:19.460 --> 00:53:21.679 But like, you have this moment, like the two 00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:23.980 of you, Atash and Jules, their voices sort of 00:53:23.980 --> 00:53:26.670 colliding over each other in this moment. Dude, 00:53:26.690 --> 00:53:28.710 I love just this image of, like, people watching 00:53:28.710 --> 00:53:31.789 on the TV. The camera's just centered on each 00:53:31.789 --> 00:53:35.710 side. You got Atash, Jules. It's the ultimate 00:53:35.710 --> 00:53:39.110 anime moment. Just, like, close -up of eyes to 00:53:39.110 --> 00:53:44.710 close -up of eyes. And I think, like, murmurs 00:53:44.710 --> 00:53:53.869 in my crotch, just like... I suppose tonight 00:53:53.869 --> 00:53:59.610 you'll be announcing the elections. Isn't that 00:53:59.610 --> 00:54:04.750 why you came here, Atash? When the world is ready, 00:54:04.969 --> 00:54:09.429 we will move on. The people have decided the 00:54:09.429 --> 00:54:12.949 world is ready. The people can't be trusting 00:54:12.949 --> 00:54:16.190 to govern the... And, like, there's a, like, 00:54:16.690 --> 00:54:18.409 an overall gasp. He just kind of turns and looks 00:54:18.409 --> 00:54:22.869 out towards everyone. Oh, shit, Jules says. You 00:54:22.869 --> 00:54:25.190 can't swear on the network. Guy in the crowd 00:54:25.190 --> 00:54:34.849 goes, oh, shit, again. Si, you either. We simply 00:54:34.849 --> 00:54:39.889 wish to create a support system for the coming 00:54:39.889 --> 00:54:44.119 government. You can wish all you want. It doesn't 00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:47.260 give you a right to enact your wishes. We saved 00:54:47.260 --> 00:54:51.340 Sansatyan. We saved Sansatyan. That doesn't give 00:54:51.340 --> 00:54:54.000 you Sansatyan. You stared here celebrating for 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.219 what? What did you do, Blanche Trudeau? What 00:54:57.219 --> 00:55:01.079 did you really do? I acted honorably. Can you 00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:04.380 say the same, Atash? I think that was a good 00:55:04.380 --> 00:55:07.280 one. That was a really good line. Nice. Fuck 00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:12.480 yeah. David's brain is broken. I think, honestly, 00:55:12.619 --> 00:55:15.780 there may be a spot, like, he just pauses. The 00:55:15.780 --> 00:55:19.719 crowd is starting to turn. There's a wave, a 00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:22.260 momentum that's pushing against Atash. This is 00:55:22.260 --> 00:55:25.440 not something he's generally accustomed to. And 00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:27.460 you can see that there's, like, this sensation 00:55:27.460 --> 00:55:30.760 almost looks alien to him. The way he kind of 00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:33.280 turns and looks towards the crowd, looks at their 00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:38.159 sort of confused, sort of scared expressions. 00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:41.719 There's a building anger behind those eyes, and 00:55:41.719 --> 00:55:44.679 he can sense it. He can feel it. And he looks 00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:49.460 back to you guys. I do hope we can communicate 00:55:49.460 --> 00:55:55.320 again like this. It has been enlightening. But 00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:58.940 I am a busy man. I have worlds to govern, lives 00:55:58.940 --> 00:56:05.300 to save. And I must go. Autosh once again turns, 00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:08.429 begins to leave. Another voice sort of stops 00:56:08.429 --> 00:56:11.349 him in his step again. Jean Franklin, starting 00:56:11.349 --> 00:56:15.010 to rise up out of his seat. What of law? You 00:56:15.010 --> 00:56:22.530 speak of law, but did you not disobey the very 00:56:22.530 --> 00:56:24.869 laws that hold our Concord sacred when you invaded 00:56:24.869 --> 00:56:27.849 Saint -Etienne? Is this some gray area, some 00:56:27.849 --> 00:56:33.269 middle ground? Is this your law? He stands up 00:56:33.269 --> 00:56:36.050 sort of before Atash. He's trembling, terrified. 00:56:36.769 --> 00:56:41.309 I'm trying to understand. I truly want to understand 00:56:41.309 --> 00:56:44.650 what is right, what is honor, and what is law. 00:56:44.949 --> 00:56:48.570 Who does it serve? And who did it serve when 00:56:48.570 --> 00:56:52.349 you invaded San Sitian? Who did it serve when 00:56:52.349 --> 00:56:57.530 you broke the law? Atash! Way to go, Tadpole. 00:56:58.210 --> 00:57:01.190 Wow. Way to go. There's a frozen moment here. 00:57:02.130 --> 00:57:05.550 Do you guys have anything to add? Jules turns 00:57:05.550 --> 00:57:09.960 out. To the audience. Takes a couple steps forward. 00:57:10.980 --> 00:57:13.760 Looks around. Lights beaming on his face. Beads 00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:18.840 of sweat coming down his forehead. Free Sansatian. 00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:24.760 What? Blanche puts her fist up in the air. Free 00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:31.940 Sansatian. Free Sansatian. Jean raises his fist 00:57:31.940 --> 00:57:38.320 up beside yours. What? Free Sansa -chan! Free 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:41.719 Sansa -chan! Free Sansa -chan! Free Sansa -chan! 00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:45.719 Free Sansa -chan! Free Sansa -chan! Free Sansa 00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:50.400 -chan! Free Sansa -chan! Free Sansa -chan! And 00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:55.639 amidst this cheer, amidst this clamor, Atash 00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:59.260 took one last look around. His gaze falling on 00:57:59.260 --> 00:58:01.800 you one last time, and there is something hot. 00:58:02.539 --> 00:58:06.599 burning hot beyond the fire in those eyes. As 00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:10.039 he leaves the room, steps behind the curtain, 00:58:10.099 --> 00:58:14.500 lets it fall behind him. And as he leaves, the 00:58:14.500 --> 00:58:18.760 radiance in the room fades. Darkness falls over 00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:23.619 everything. As the darkness falls over, Jules 00:58:23.619 --> 00:58:29.900 says, if we go missing, holy shit, you know where 00:58:29.900 --> 00:58:34.420 to find us. I think, Fuomei sort of stumbles 00:58:34.420 --> 00:58:37.679 back onto the stage. The lights sort of come 00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:44.800 back in again. Um, alright, well, I think maybe 00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:47.199 we should just, we got a pretty rowdy crowd here, 00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:50.739 maybe we should just let this, uh, alright, hey, 00:58:50.840 --> 00:58:54.019 hey, well, this has been the Morning Jewel, alright, 00:58:54.179 --> 00:59:20.489 we'll, uh, we'll call it there. make him like 00:59:20.489 --> 00:59:22.449 the next sex symbol? Dude, yeah, seriously. It's 00:59:22.449 --> 00:59:25.710 like, okay, cool. We see billboards with autosh. 00:59:26.869 --> 00:59:29.789 What's that? A third leg? Oh my God. No, no. 00:59:32.590 --> 00:59:34.690 Did we get that? Did we get any of that? Yeah, 00:59:34.690 --> 00:59:37.289 we got that. We got that. Post credits.
