When? 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.760 I have no idea. I don't schedule things, but 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.500 it's coming because we finished the God's Breath 00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.239 arc and we want questions about that, about the 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.219 show, about what everyone asks questions about. 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:24.940 I'm excited to answer them. So are the other 00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:27.519 two goofballs. So, hey, give us your questions 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.370 on those Instagram handles and, uh...

For 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.019 all intents and purposes, I'm still Oren, and 00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:18.599 I'm still here to tell y 'all a story. Now, I'd 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:19.920 like to thank every one of y 'all out there who 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.159 voiced their concerns over my potential removal 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.859 from the network. As you can see, I'm still here. 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.239 My words back then were a mite hasty. The speakers 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.319 for the Ancestors had no issue at all with my 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.260 decision to showcase the potential of Zebulon 00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:35.120 Black and Jules LaRoche. In fact, they are very 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.280 excited to sign them on and deliver them their 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.079 luminary credentials and passports as soon as 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:41.680 the proper forms are filled out and all that 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.870 bureaucracy, you know. Your words have reached 00:01:44.870 --> 00:01:47.469 them, folks. And I thank y 'all again for welcoming 00:01:47.469 --> 00:01:51.230 these two new names into your lives. Now, I know 00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:53.430 y 'all have questions flooding in about Tebion 00:01:53.430 --> 00:01:55.670 and Jules, about our adventure on God's breath, 00:01:55.810 --> 00:01:57.730 and how it relates to the tragedy that took place 00:01:57.730 --> 00:02:00.989 in the rattle. I hear y 'all. I do. I do. For 00:02:00.989 --> 00:02:02.689 now, though, let's let our new luminaries rest 00:02:02.689 --> 00:02:05.750 and recover. We face dark trials in the homeland, 00:02:05.849 --> 00:02:07.489 and I want to give these good folks some time 00:02:07.489 --> 00:02:09.370 before we toss them into the spotlight, you know? 00:02:09.909 --> 00:02:12.770 All right. Just know there is room to meet you. 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.340 As you ought to meet them. And I promise, I promise 00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:19.840 they'll be worth the wait. Now, let's get on 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.300 to some other news. It seems Handsome Jai has 00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:25.520 found himself a new lover. And she is right on 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.159 fire. Who's got your hands tied, Oren? What are 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.479 you talking about? What are you talking about? 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.039 We'll talk about it later. Well, we're back with 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.979 our usual recaps. I'm a little more curious with 00:02:39.979 --> 00:02:43.900 who this fiery lover is. That too. That's you. 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.500 Come catch the even news on the network. Because 00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:48.580 that's not our story. That's Handsome Jai's story. 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.879 Forget about Handsome Jai. This is the story 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.240 of Zebulon Black, Jules LaRoche, Chester Meeps, 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.259 that's his actual last name, yes, and Jean -Franklin 00:02:57.259 --> 00:02:59.439 Montelio. That's the story we're here to tell 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.460 today. Montelio. We have had some huge updates 00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:06.520 to this narrative in, well, the last episode. 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.759 And there's so, so, so, so, so, so much to touch 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.280 on, to catch up on, to just... Deal with. I think 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.979 first things first, we're leveling up, right? 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.740 Hell yeah. Let's talk about level four. We're 00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:23.400 going to roll some HP. We're going to talk about 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.020 some of the things you've got. Oh, God. Now, 00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:28.120 I know this is also the ASI or feat choice. Basically, 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.159 the players here can choose some skill points, 00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:32.340 taking two skill points to add to one of their 00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:33.979 skills, which are all garbage. That's pretty 00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:36.379 cool. Or they can take a feat, which is basically 00:03:36.379 --> 00:03:39.039 just a really cool sort of ability or passive 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.340 trait they get that is a little more unique and 00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:47.180 flavorful. So we have some decisions made. One 00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:50.180 of them is going to be a secret for now. But 00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:52.680 first, let's talk about Zebulon. Zebulon. What's 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.120 a little four look like? Jeremy, look at David's 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.599 face for a second. What? Do you see what I see? 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.319 Oh, I've seen it this entire time. I didn't know 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.599 you saw anything, so I didn't bring it up. You've 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.539 got glitter on your lip. Yeah. At first, I thought 00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:08.819 it was spit. Okay. But then I looked closer, 00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:10.599 and it was glitter, and it's from the office. 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.219 It's from the office. Yes. I sat in that glitter 00:04:13.219 --> 00:04:16.540 today. Yes. It's on your hands. It's everywhere. 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.300 It's on your shirt. It's all over me. Don't touch 00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:21.160 me. Hey, this is the story of David and his glitter. 00:04:21.629 --> 00:04:24.110 I was going to make like a glittery lip gloss 00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:27.889 joke or something. Well, don't. No, this is better. 00:04:28.730 --> 00:04:34.149 Yeah. What's level four for Zeb? I think you 00:04:34.149 --> 00:04:37.509 asked about level four for Zeb. Level four for 00:04:37.509 --> 00:04:41.629 Zeb is pretty straightforward. I'm doubling down 00:04:41.629 --> 00:04:44.069 on the only thing that he's good at, which is 00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:46.269 dexterity. So I took two points to get to 18. 00:04:46.990 --> 00:04:49.949 Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Any other cool rogue traits? 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.839 No, not for four, not for right now. Nope, that 00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:01.579 is it. Well, two points ain't bad. Yep. Want 00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:05.860 to roll that HP? Yes, let me grab my D8. And 00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:11.060 I will grab my D8, which is kind of broken. I 00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:13.060 mean, that bodes well for us, doesn't it? It'll 00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:15.439 roll fine. I don't know. We should do a study. 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:21.529 Roll it 100 times, see what happens. What'd you 00:05:21.529 --> 00:05:27.370 get? A one. I got a seven. Oh, yeah. Nice. Nice, 00:05:28.089 --> 00:05:30.290 dude. Excellent. Oh, man. I thought I got a one, 00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:33.089 too. I was so lucky with HP. Yeah, seriously. 00:05:33.129 --> 00:05:35.370 You are. For a rogue, you're pretty beefy. Yeah. 00:05:35.610 --> 00:05:36.810 You're probably going to be up there right around 00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:39.410 Jean Franklin now, actually. Now I'm up to 28. 00:05:39.949 --> 00:05:43.709 Damn. 28. Holy shit. Yep. Nice. Not bad. Nice. 00:05:44.050 --> 00:05:49.209 So average for this level is 21. Total possible 00:05:49.209 --> 00:05:53.899 is 32. Dude. Wow. Yeah. Wait, are we doing... 00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:56.120 Sorry to interrupt. Are we doing re -roll ones? 00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:59.379 I thought we were starting to do that. Re -roll 00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:01.680 ones? I don't remember. Did we? I fucking think 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.759 you should. I don't remember. We can re -roll 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.819 ones. I mean, seven's still good. I just... Yeah. 00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:09.519 It was something. All right, well, just for shits 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.920 and gigs. That's a six, so... Okay. All right. 00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:15.100 I don't know. I'm into it. I don't remember. 00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:18.000 The listeners probably remember. So let's just 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.610 not re -roll. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. Okay. 00:06:21.649 --> 00:06:24.750 But I'm going to use a button for advantage. 00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:29.949 Double advantage. Oh, come on. So before we get 00:06:29.949 --> 00:06:33.029 to your roll, level four, what's it look like? 00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:34.889 Now, we're going to keep your feet ASI choice 00:06:34.889 --> 00:06:38.009 a bit of a secret for now. Okay. Yeah. You tell 00:06:38.009 --> 00:06:40.850 me what I can disclose here. Just tell me about, 00:06:41.050 --> 00:06:42.970 I know you're still looking at spells, correct? 00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:45.649 Correct. All right. So anything else you got 00:06:45.649 --> 00:06:47.930 going on? Well, I don't know what I can disclose. 00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:51.529 Let's just roll HP. Okay. There you go. All right. 00:06:51.870 --> 00:06:54.230 Let's do this thing. Steven's looking real concerned 00:06:54.230 --> 00:06:58.170 over there. Well, it's like you basically said, 00:06:58.269 --> 00:07:00.850 I can't tell what I did. It's true. It's true. 00:07:00.970 --> 00:07:04.009 Well, you're being shady and secretive. You're 00:07:04.009 --> 00:07:06.329 being sparkly and glittery. So it's like between 00:07:06.329 --> 00:07:10.529 the two of you. Good time back. Roll your dice. 00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:16.110 I got a five. I got a four. Five's pretty good. 00:07:16.250 --> 00:07:19.040 Yeah. Five's not bad. Five is. Pretty darn good. 00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:28.920 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What are you up to? 14 HP now? 00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:36.180 19. Oh. I haven't broke 20. Oh, poor Jeremy. 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.480 Poor Jules is awful. But we've learned that Jules 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.220 on that back line is a killer. Yeah. As long 00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:45.519 as he stays in the back line, he's good to go. 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:52.100 So. HP is rolled. We have some elements that's 00:07:52.100 --> 00:07:53.500 level up we're going to keep a little secret. 00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:57.459 And we have some narrative beats I want to introduce 00:07:57.459 --> 00:08:01.519 to you guys to, I guess, influence these feats, 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.600 these ASIs. We have a lot to touch on, like I 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.759 said, which is why it pains me so, so much that 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.220 I had to start us off with a flashback. Nothing 00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:15.519 good comes from flashbacks. Oh, you know how 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.759 it is. And sorry to use the same old music I've 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.160 been using all this time for flashbacks, but 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.540 I just really, really like it, you know? Let's 00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:29.220 get this started. We see dawn cracking over the 00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:31.439 great pointed mountains of the Canton Range, 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.919 just west of the grand city of Cerule. We follow 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.299 the sunlight as it glints off the stones of the 00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:41.240 towers at the edge of the high city, where bells 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.279 are ringing all across the city, down over... 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.120 These small, low buildings, the long tenements 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.539 of the low city that surrounds it. We pan down, 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.759 down from the heights of these towers, serving 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.559 as the border between the stone -wrapped marvels 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.419 of the city of towers and the grand slums that 00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:04.519 surround it. We pan down and down and down, across 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.059 an open expanse, heavily patrolled by armored 00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:10.759 men in taverns of white and blue, and into these 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.429 low buildings and broken streets. And here we 00:09:14.429 --> 00:09:18.509 see a sorry, sorry sight. We see folks beginning 00:09:18.509 --> 00:09:22.529 to move in droves, their hunched bodies limping, 00:09:22.529 --> 00:09:26.009 their eyes shadowed with drooping lids. The masons 00:09:26.009 --> 00:09:28.370 and laborers of the low city are moving in to 00:09:28.370 --> 00:09:30.929 work on towers that they will never get to live 00:09:30.929 --> 00:09:34.190 within, or really experience, or they're moving 00:09:34.190 --> 00:09:36.990 to join a caravan heading towards a great variety 00:09:36.990 --> 00:09:39.190 of stone quarries and gem mines in the mountains 00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:42.700 beyond the city. And here, watching this crowd 00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:45.460 from a darkened alley, we see the emaciated form 00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:51.360 of Jules LaRoche. Now 14 years old. And I'll 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.960 ask you, Jeremy. What does it look like when 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.919 Jules is just days after making his escape from 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.600 the Tower of Authority? What state is he in? 00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:04.279 I think his eyes are very intense during these 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:09.039 moments. I think he's staring every individual 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.600 down. Sizing everybody up that he can? Because 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.600 he doesn't yet really trust anybody outside? 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.240 Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, this is a whole new 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.419 world. You're so new here, and now you're just 00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:27.960 sitting in the cesspool of your parents' corruption. 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.759 You're seeing the victims of their rule up close 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.980 and personal. You're with them now, and it's 00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:37.740 hard to know what you would do, what you would 00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:42.029 think. I mean, I think at this point, Jules still 00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:45.830 believes that he knows that these people are 00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:50.909 good people. But he is also terrified that they 00:10:50.909 --> 00:10:54.649 are also agents of the family still. You know, 00:10:54.690 --> 00:10:58.129 somebody's going to rat him out. And you know 00:10:58.129 --> 00:11:01.730 for sure you are being hunted. In fact, you're 00:11:01.730 --> 00:11:04.549 watching as this line of laborers moves to a 00:11:04.549 --> 00:11:06.850 crowd of LaRoche guards sort of at the edge of 00:11:06.850 --> 00:11:10.210 the low city. scanning all their faces and searching 00:11:10.210 --> 00:11:13.230 for you. And you've managed to keep out of their 00:11:13.230 --> 00:11:16.110 clutches for now, but there have been some dangerously, 00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:18.190 dangerously close calls. I mean, just this morning, 00:11:18.250 --> 00:11:20.549 you only barely managed to slip out of the high 00:11:20.549 --> 00:11:23.529 city, carrying only one loaf of fresh -baked 00:11:23.529 --> 00:11:26.029 bread, a loaf stolen from the window of a bakery 00:11:26.029 --> 00:11:29.129 at the high city's edge. And then you clutch 00:11:29.129 --> 00:11:33.629 this precious game now. Yet you do not eat. Despite 00:11:33.629 --> 00:11:35.950 the roaring in your stomach, you do not eat. 00:11:36.169 --> 00:11:38.899 For here, you can see the folk of the low city. 00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:41.279 You can see these victims of your parents' rule. 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.100 You see the broken, beaten laborers, and you 00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:47.240 see their children. I mean, just across from 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.100 this grime -covered street from where you stand, 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.240 you see two young girls in torn, simple tunics 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.320 hugging their exhausted mother. You watch as 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.500 they push aside her sandy hair and each plant 00:11:57.500 --> 00:12:01.059 a kiss on her forehead. You see how she smiles 00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:03.759 at them, how they smile at her, but as she turns 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.000 from them, as she leaves, The little girl's smiles 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.179 dissolve. They just collapse into each other's 00:12:10.179 --> 00:12:12.600 arms and they whisper to each other harsh words 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.120 spoken through gritted teeth and tearful eyes. 00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:18.360 And where you stand, only the word hungry carries 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.779 to your ears. What do you do? Can I get to them 00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:26.399 without being seen? Yeah. A lot of the laborers 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:27.980 have moved on at this point. They're some of 00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:29.580 the only folk that are still on this strip of 00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:32.419 road. And that crowd is blocking any vision that 00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:35.860 the guards could see past, basically. Okay. So 00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:40.840 I'm going to walk over to them. They're kind 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.340 of focused on each other as you move forward, 00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:44.879 but as you get close, it's like they just break 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:49.120 apart and look at you. It's okay. It's okay. 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.080 And I'm going to cautiously squat down. I'm not 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.340 super close to them. I don't want to make them 00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:01.440 any more afraid. But I'm going to squat and hold 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.580 out the loaf of bread. Picket. Take it. It's 00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:08.419 yours. The girl in the back just pulls in her 00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:12.419 sister's, like, tunic. Just, Sana? And the one 00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:14.179 girl a little older in the front just kind of 00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:18.600 puts a hand up. It's okay. It's okay. And she, 00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:21.620 just looking you straight in the eyes, cautiously 00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:24.840 reaches out. Here you go. And takes the loaf. 00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:29.299 You watch this bread pulled away from you. The 00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:33.309 buttery smell is... Leaving you that crispy feeling, 00:13:33.370 --> 00:13:35.850 that warmth it had leaving your hands. Your stomach 00:13:35.850 --> 00:13:39.769 roars. But you see as that smell hits these two 00:13:39.769 --> 00:13:43.610 young girls. They look down at it. Their stomachs 00:13:43.610 --> 00:13:46.909 roar. Their faces break into an uncontrollable 00:13:46.909 --> 00:13:50.029 grin. The young girl just takes it and begins 00:13:50.029 --> 00:13:53.389 to move inside a building behind her. Through 00:13:53.389 --> 00:13:55.809 a darkened curtain covered doorway. And the older 00:13:55.809 --> 00:14:00.529 girl, Sana, just looks at you. Thank you. Thank 00:14:00.529 --> 00:14:05.159 you. You're welcome. And make sure your mother 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.759 gets a little bit of that, too. I will. I promise. 00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:13.080 And she's gone. You watch that curtain fall behind 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.879 her as she vanishes into the dark, gleefully 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.820 clutching that precious gain. And you stand there 00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:24.220 in the street, your stomach roaring, as your 00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:30.460 first meal in maybe two days is just gone. And 00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:34.450 then... That buttery smell touches your nose 00:14:34.450 --> 00:14:39.090 again. And you feel a warmth being pressed into 00:14:39.090 --> 00:14:42.750 your hand. You feel a flaky crust of another 00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:48.690 loaf of bread. And you look down. You see a child 00:14:48.690 --> 00:14:51.129 is holding a loaf just like the one you had. 00:14:51.649 --> 00:14:53.470 Holding it out towards you, basically just pushing 00:14:53.470 --> 00:14:56.769 it into your hands. A child with a little newsy 00:14:56.769 --> 00:15:00.149 hat and a large oversized brown coat. A mop of 00:15:00.149 --> 00:15:03.330 orange hair. Cheeks spattered with freckles. 00:15:04.210 --> 00:15:06.909 And, uh... I think he scares the shit out of 00:15:06.909 --> 00:15:13.129 me. What the fuck? Whoa, hey, hey. Easy, easy, 00:15:13.269 --> 00:15:16.649 big guy. Jeez, don't scare me like that. I'm 00:15:16.649 --> 00:15:20.470 sorry. Holy shit. Look, hey, come on. Big guy's 00:15:20.470 --> 00:15:23.750 gotta eat too, right? Who are you? I'm Jester. 00:15:23.909 --> 00:15:27.190 It's nice to meet you. Jester Meeps. You could 00:15:27.190 --> 00:15:30.399 say I kinda run these streets, huh? Sorry. Sorry. 00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:35.019 Nice to meet you, Chester. I'm... I'm... I'm 00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:41.240 Jules. Jules. Jules. I like that name. A little 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.059 better than big guy. Now, come on. Hit up. Honestly, 00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.759 you earned it. That commotion you caused earlier 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.279 made it a lot easier for me to steal it. I can't 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.159 take this. It's yours. Hey, we worked together 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.840 on that job. You didn't know it. I've been following 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:59.860 you. You sneaky son of a bitch. That's what they 00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:02.879 call me. Alright, I'll take a little piece, but 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.659 you gotta eat some too. Oh, don't worry, I ate. 00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:07.419 I took care of myself. You gotta take care of 00:16:07.419 --> 00:16:09.980 yourself too, alright? Jules still only takes 00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:11.899 a little bit in the end. He just kind of watches 00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:16.019 this intently. You're new here, right? Yeah, 00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:19.840 you could say that. You seem, uh, well, you're 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:25.299 neat. I'm neat? Yeah, something like... Listen, 00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:28.179 he kind of looks around. Look, between you and 00:16:28.179 --> 00:16:30.720 me, right? I've heard your description passed 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.220 around amongst the high folk god. It's supposed 00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:35.799 to be all hush -hush. But, uh, they're looking 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.539 for you, ain't they? You want to tell me why? 00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:43.740 You don't have to. Maybe another time. Let's 00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:47.240 get to know each other first. He just cracks 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.799 his... You see his smile just widens, his big 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.559 gap in his two front teeth, his gap -toothed 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.829 grin. He just, alright, alright, yeah. Look, 00:16:57.829 --> 00:16:59.509 I wanted to see what kind of guy you were, right? 00:16:59.809 --> 00:17:03.710 And that right there? That was good stuff. You 00:17:03.710 --> 00:17:05.650 got a low -city heart, you know what I'm saying? 00:17:06.430 --> 00:17:08.910 You ain't like the others. I mean, everybody's 00:17:08.910 --> 00:17:12.710 got to eat. Yeah. Everybody. Yeah, they do, and 00:17:12.710 --> 00:17:16.269 we can help a lot more people eat together. Now, 00:17:16.349 --> 00:17:18.410 I know my way around, right? But I'm just a little 00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:20.369 guy, and I could use a big guy like you to watch 00:17:20.369 --> 00:17:23.789 my back. And besides, you're high -city. You 00:17:23.789 --> 00:17:25.670 don't have the wits to betray me. No offense. 00:17:32.709 --> 00:17:38.009 Jules raises one eyebrow. None taken. All right, 00:17:38.029 --> 00:17:41.809 yeah. Yeah, I need a little help getting a little 00:17:41.809 --> 00:17:45.329 savvy down here. Well, all right, then. He kind 00:17:45.329 --> 00:17:47.970 of puts a hand out towards you. All right, Jules 00:17:47.970 --> 00:17:51.589 reaches out and shakes his hand. I just see his 00:17:51.589 --> 00:17:54.809 hands moving. These two, we got to pan out with 00:17:54.809 --> 00:17:58.150 these two for the first time. Shake hands. Look 00:17:58.150 --> 00:18:00.529 each other in the eye. Can I call you friend? 00:18:01.089 --> 00:18:04.029 Sure. Yeah. It's always nice to have friends. 00:18:04.950 --> 00:18:08.289 To be honest, you might be the only one I got 00:18:08.289 --> 00:18:11.970 right now. And I don't know you that well just 00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:16.369 yet, but I appreciate you. Well, we'll find more 00:18:16.369 --> 00:18:20.069 friends, huh? And for now, hey, Chester and Jules. 00:18:20.490 --> 00:18:23.309 Jules and Chester. Think of the trouble we're 00:18:23.309 --> 00:18:25.269 going to get about, huh? It's got a nice ring 00:18:25.269 --> 00:18:28.619 to it. Oh, yeah. Someday this whole city's going 00:18:28.619 --> 00:18:32.359 to know our names. Damn straight. I think we 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:37.079 pan away from this moment. Light fills our screen. 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.180 We are brought back into the present. To Citadel. 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:47.160 And to the ugly coyote. Yeah. Not the fucking 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.359 pale moonlight. Fuck those guys. Let me get it. 00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:54.480 Let me get it. There it is. Boom, boom. There 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:58.079 it is. Welcome back to the Ugly Coyote. Feels 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.180 good to be home. Boy, we have a few things to 00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:03.700 touch on here. Now, last time we ended the episode, 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.460 we cut to a few days post your return. And I 00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:09.119 want to touch on what happened in those couple 00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.859 of days before your announcement, before your 00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:15.460 broadcast, real quick. Now, you guys received 00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:17.680 some news from God's breath, maybe a day or two 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.039 later on. Do you know that the only bodies discovered 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.359 were those of the four farmers in that central 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.819 home? the four possessed farmers that you dealt 00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:29.660 with. But you also know there were 16 other people 00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:31.799 working on that farm pact, all of whom have remained 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.779 undiscovered. Current theories say that their 00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:37.400 remains were brought underground by whatever 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.480 mysterious assailant caused that farm tragedy. 00:19:42.339 --> 00:19:44.980 The exact identity of this creature remains undisclosed 00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:47.359 to the general public. And that's really all 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.680 that's been said publicly about the tragedy on 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.369 God's Breath. Right now, your names have been 00:19:52.369 --> 00:19:55.369 kind of not out on the record. That being said, 00:19:56.470 --> 00:19:57.950 Kiana's been actually staying at the Coyote with 00:19:57.950 --> 00:19:59.529 you guys. We touched on that last time. She was 00:19:59.529 --> 00:20:01.130 there during the broadcast, but she has been 00:20:01.130 --> 00:20:03.329 there becoming fast friends with Jeans. She's 00:20:03.329 --> 00:20:04.930 been working on painting with her left arm, getting 00:20:04.930 --> 00:20:07.309 a little practice, and we see that the back wall 00:20:07.309 --> 00:20:09.809 of the Coyote is slowly being overtaken by a 00:20:09.809 --> 00:20:13.289 great mural. It's still in rough shape, still 00:20:13.289 --> 00:20:15.349 a work in progress, but it looks to depict our 00:20:15.349 --> 00:20:17.970 four heroes here, standing valiantly in front 00:20:17.970 --> 00:20:22.390 of a horde of shadowed dangers. Jeez. So, yeah, 00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:24.410 it's coming out nice. That's pretty cool. Mm 00:20:24.410 --> 00:20:28.109 -hmm. You know that Koli has sent out for one 00:20:28.109 --> 00:20:31.690 of Atash's powery angels to come to the Citadel 00:20:31.690 --> 00:20:35.730 to regenerate Kiana's lost hand. Judge of the 00:20:35.730 --> 00:20:38.089 Shieldbearers had done for Arhalon before, but 00:20:38.089 --> 00:20:40.650 it takes some time, it takes some expense, so 00:20:40.650 --> 00:20:43.569 that's still in the works. Speaking of Koli, 00:20:43.690 --> 00:20:46.509 he has been busy. You know, he's been doing a 00:20:46.509 --> 00:20:48.890 lot of work on the network. He did manage to 00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:51.480 go back to Promise. He brought the diamond. I'm 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.599 sure you gave it to him. That belonged to the 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.339 Proclaimers. Yep. Once we got what we needed 00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:57.759 out of it. Great. He brought the diamond back, 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:01.000 and he told his story to the Proclaimers to have 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.380 it written down in the Awakening song. He also 00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:07.460 brought a little extra gift for you guys. One 00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:09.859 day you come down to see a present. Basically 00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:12.240 just sitting there on one of the tables, Ader 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.759 points you out to it, and there's a little note 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.279 that says, A present from your patron. You see 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.539 a little winky face under a straw hat. And you 00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:23.940 look at this rustic brown pack with this magical 00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:25.960 inscription embroidered around these sort of 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.579 mouth and pockets. These big buckles fastening 00:21:28.579 --> 00:21:33.259 it tight. And this is a handy haversack. Which 00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:36.880 let me. Do tell. Please do explain. Very handy. 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.740 That sounds intriguing. Cliff notes it. It's 00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:43.500 a pretty long description, but basically this 00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:45.940 backpack has a central pouch and two side pouches, 00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.299 each of which works as an extra -dimensional 00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:51.220 space. Each side pouch can hold up to 20 pounds 00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:53.900 of material, not exceeding a volume of 2 cubic 00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:55.940 feet. The central can hold up to 8 cubic feet 00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:59.660 and 80 pounds of material. It always weighs 5 00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:01.319 pounds, regardless of how much stuff you have 00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:03.900 in it. So just a fantastic adventuring gear sort 00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:07.619 of thing. Retrieving an item from it. Requires 00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:09.740 you to use an action, but you reach in and that 00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:11.099 specific item you're looking for will always 00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:14.460 be on top. And there's some limitations. It can 00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:16.920 get destroyed or whatever if sharp objects pierce 00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:18.619 or tear it. And everything inside, if it's destroyed, 00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:21.740 gets lost forever into the astral plane. So you've 00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:23.779 got to be careful with it. But it's a really 00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:27.019 cool little magical sort of accessory that belongs 00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:29.460 to you now. It could come in handy. Yeah, definitely 00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:32.640 a very nice gift. Another question I had for 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:34.900 you guys as far as the fallout from God's Breath. 00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:39.630 What did you do? With Percy the horse. That's 00:22:39.630 --> 00:22:43.529 a Zebulon question. I mean, I assume that we 00:22:43.529 --> 00:22:45.710 just would have found a nice home for Percy once 00:22:45.710 --> 00:22:51.190 we got back to Promise. I mean, I don't think 00:22:51.190 --> 00:22:55.430 we would take Percy with us, right? I wouldn't 00:22:55.430 --> 00:22:58.029 think so. Yeah, that's my first inclination. 00:22:58.769 --> 00:23:01.710 I mean, too many now ones happen for us to keep 00:23:01.710 --> 00:23:06.789 a horse around. All right. So Percy's back on 00:23:06.789 --> 00:23:09.490 promise. Maybe with that same, uh, that horse, 00:23:09.509 --> 00:23:11.829 uh, you know, handler. No, fuck that guy. No, 00:23:11.890 --> 00:23:16.309 the horse. I'm going to say Percy went back to 00:23:16.309 --> 00:23:18.390 the proclaimers. That I love that. That's great. 00:23:18.509 --> 00:23:21.509 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, okay. All right. So that's, 00:23:21.509 --> 00:23:26.430 uh, that's talks about and done with. Um, so 00:23:26.430 --> 00:23:28.390 let's talk about what you guys have been up to 00:23:28.390 --> 00:23:32.240 since getting back. Now, this is before the announcement, 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.839 so you're not famous yet. You're not known. They 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:36.740 say there's like three days before that happens. 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:38.299 So, like, how'd you spend your three days? Just 00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:41.779 real quick recap so we know. I think Jules drank 00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:49.259 and slept a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, obviously 00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:52.559 the first stop is back at the Coyote to make 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:58.210 sure everything's all right. Hmm. Yeah, I think 00:23:58.210 --> 00:24:01.529 Zebulon was also trying to lay low. I think he's 00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:04.250 a little nervous about what's going to happen. 00:24:04.269 --> 00:24:08.589 Probably more excited than nervous. But he does 00:24:08.589 --> 00:24:11.109 understand that there might be some blowback 00:24:11.109 --> 00:24:15.049 after this announcement with his family. Yeah. 00:24:15.730 --> 00:24:17.950 Do we know the announcement's coming? You guys 00:24:17.950 --> 00:24:19.789 were aware something would happen. Okay, okay. 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:24.599 I will say for the sidekicks part, unsurprisingly, 00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.480 you've seen very, very little of Jean Franklin. 00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:30.119 He checked into the pale moonlight and has not 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:32.480 been seen since. Oh, my God. Fuck that guy. That 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.119 asshole. And more surprisingly, you haven't seen 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.200 a lot of Chester. He's been out almost constantly. 00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:44.400 And you know that he's left his weapons and armor 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:46.700 and all sort of adventuring gear behind, just 00:24:46.700 --> 00:24:48.960 sitting and collecting dust in a corner of his 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.420 room. And yeah, he hasn't been around a lot. 00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:55.940 And then comes the night of the announcement. 00:24:57.299 --> 00:25:03.880 And like I said before, everything changes. Following 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.440 that night, I mean, you guys are known now. But, 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.960 well, we'll touch on more of that in a bit. There's 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:16.180 one thing, hmm. While you're thinking about it? 00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:20.160 Yeah. I just had like this. Awesome little vision 00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.660 of all of us hanging out at the Ugly Coyote, 00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:26.299 watching the announcement like it was the Super 00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:30.940 Bowl. Like we've been waiting so long. Oh yeah, 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.339 I love that idea. Got some bar food in front 00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:36.839 of us. Maybe Ader made something a little special. 00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:39.599 Nachos. So I was going to say, what's the fantasy 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:43.420 version of nachos? Is it still nachos? I mean, 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.819 there are definitely nachos in this setting, 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:46.900 right? There has to be. Okay, I hope so. Yeah, 00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:49.599 then we're eating nachos. All right. On our little 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.339 fold -out TV trays, TV dinner trays. Not just 00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:57.160 the ugly coyotes menu. With jalapenos. No, the 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.099 thing is, there actually was your payout to talk 00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:02.839 about from your patron, Peppers Peppers. But 00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.599 I'm trying to decide because we're going to pick 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:07.339 this up right after the announcement, which means 00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:09.900 it wouldn't necessarily make sense for all those 00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:13.660 bonuses to add more sales to Pepper's actual 00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:17.099 stall yet. So we have to find out how Pepper 00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:21.900 has done. on his own without the jewels and Zebulon 00:26:21.900 --> 00:26:25.220 boost. Hmm. I'll just say, I'll deal with your 00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:28.059 payout maybe a little later in the episode, maybe 00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:30.140 next episode when a little time has passed. Okay. 00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:31.619 When it makes sense for you guys to receive it 00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:35.279 because you've done a lot of extra work to earn 00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:38.640 more money. I will say that much. Sweet. Yeah, 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.400 and it's not even like, because right now we 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.319 don't have the passports. We couldn't go check 00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.190 on Pepper if we wanted to. You couldn't. Yeah, 00:26:45.269 --> 00:26:47.170 you have to wait. And that's what it is now. 00:26:47.250 --> 00:26:48.650 You know from the moment that announcement was 00:26:48.650 --> 00:26:51.250 made, now it's a waiting game. And you don't 00:26:51.250 --> 00:26:52.349 know how long it's going to take before you get 00:26:52.349 --> 00:26:55.369 the notice that the speakers are ready to talk 00:26:55.369 --> 00:26:57.430 to you. But likely what's going to happen is 00:26:57.430 --> 00:26:59.069 you'll be invited into the preserve of the ancestors 00:26:59.069 --> 00:27:04.769 inside the Aurel Diamond itself to the speaker's 00:27:04.769 --> 00:27:09.960 sort of speaking room. Yeah, you'll be given 00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:13.640 your sort of luminary paperwork, your passports, 00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:15.460 maybe even your first objectives and quests. 00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:19.119 The whole rundown then. But now it's just a waiting 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:24.819 game. Good, good. Now, let's pick this up on 00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:26.299 the morning after your little announcement, where 00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:28.799 I imagine you guys probably did some celebrating 00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:33.140 that night. Oh, for sure. How many shots did 00:27:33.140 --> 00:27:36.480 Zebulon take? I'll roll for it, I don't care. 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:45.539 I don't give a fuck. D4 plus one shots. One. 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.539 So two. That's a nice celebration. Yeah. Restrained. 00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:51.920 Get a little warm. Restrained. Yeah. I could 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:53.940 learn a thing or two. But then peer pressure 00:27:53.940 --> 00:28:00.480 happens and roll again. Another one. Look at 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.079 that. He's a smart guy. He's a smart guy. He's 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:05.819 learning. He's learning. The longer I look, David, 00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.940 the more glitter I see on you. At this rate, 00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:11.680 Danny's going to be covered in glitter. I was 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.180 ready. My sound set got erased. It does this 00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:16.660 all the time. I've got to fix it real fast. I 00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:18.759 don't want a bunch of weird noise. A lot of times 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.339 I look at these episodes and these sound sets 00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:25.490 will have the wildest shit randomly. I think 00:28:25.490 --> 00:28:27.369 it was a serious scene from an earlier episode 00:28:27.369 --> 00:28:28.970 where upon re -listening, I hear some person 00:28:28.970 --> 00:28:32.890 go, take the L, loser! And it's just like, why, 00:28:33.130 --> 00:28:35.809 Sirenscape? Why do you have that? I can't edit 00:28:35.809 --> 00:28:40.670 that shit out. It's just there forever. See if 00:28:40.670 --> 00:28:43.150 you can find it and get back to Steven. Speaking 00:28:43.150 --> 00:28:45.509 of Sirenscape, thank you for letting us use your 00:28:45.509 --> 00:28:47.609 music. We love you. Yeah, Sirenscape, you're 00:28:47.609 --> 00:28:49.329 the best, even though that thing that I just 00:28:49.329 --> 00:28:52.210 said happened. Don't like that. Well, now you 00:28:52.210 --> 00:28:55.039 just diluted that. But I love everything else. 00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:58.319 You guys are great. Morning comes in the ugly 00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:02.059 coyote. We see you guys sort of waking up, stirring 00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:06.579 as the day starts. Jamal the pangolin is nestled 00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:09.160 up at the foot of a jewel's bed. I think the 00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.460 day starts with a little knock on your door, 00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:16.009 Jules. What's your sleeping situation? Who do 00:29:16.009 --> 00:29:18.509 you actually share a room with here? I think 00:29:18.509 --> 00:29:21.630 when we first arrived, I think it was two rooms. 00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:25.029 Yeah. One for Zebulon. You're right. So I share 00:29:25.029 --> 00:29:26.509 a room with, like, half the Cherry Delights. 00:29:26.789 --> 00:29:28.430 Right. At this point, we've probably settled 00:29:28.430 --> 00:29:31.269 into a slightly more permanent situation. Right. 00:29:31.329 --> 00:29:33.750 I imagine I'm in one room with a few of them, 00:29:33.809 --> 00:29:37.809 and then Chester and Jeans are in the other. 00:29:38.269 --> 00:29:44.099 All right. I'm into that. David Slyer's game. 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:53.200 I don't know. Okay, okay, I'm up. Fine. And the 00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:59.440 guard leaves. I'm turning off all of this. Alright, 00:29:59.539 --> 00:30:02.980 good. It's just music now. It's just music. No 00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:05.819 more tomfoolery. This is serious time for serious 00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:12.000 podcasters. Steven. Stop it. You hear a knock 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.319 at your door. It's a serious knock. You can tell. 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:24.660 Shut up! Stop doing it. What? It's a serious 00:30:24.660 --> 00:30:28.579 knock, and what? All right, all right. Here we 00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:32.819 go, here we go. You hear a knock. Dun -dun -dun 00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:37.400 -dun. Jules? It's Gene's voice. Jules, you awake? 00:30:38.299 --> 00:30:40.859 Jules kind of sits up from laying down. Rubs 00:30:40.859 --> 00:30:44.500 his eyes. Yeah, yeah, come on in. Come on in. 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.940 She opens the door and steps inside. I think 00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:54.720 she looks over. Maybe Fibro and Mulligan are... 00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.839 Yeah, I'm putting that on you. Fibro and Mulligan 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.680 are still snoring peacefully. Maybe they share 00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:05.519 one bed. She just looks over, nods, walks up 00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:11.539 to you. What's up? We need to talk. Yeah. Yeah. 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.740 I know a lot's going on. Last night, I mean, 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:20.380 everything's changed now. I mean, it's great. 00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:23.319 We're just much closer to getting back, you know, 00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:28.420 everybody. But I know we should celebrate. But 00:31:28.420 --> 00:31:31.059 I'm worried, Jules. No, stop. Stop right there. 00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:34.000 You're wrong. Ain't nothing to celebrate right 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:38.079 now. This isn't finished. It's not finished till 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.150 we get our family back. I know. And that's sort 00:31:42.150 --> 00:31:48.230 of why I'm here. It's Chester. Yeah, I'm a little 00:31:48.230 --> 00:31:51.089 worried. Have you seen him? Not really at all. 00:31:51.509 --> 00:31:56.589 And he's been changing, you know? I mean, after 00:31:56.589 --> 00:31:59.769 Sapsunko, he was different then, too. But, like, 00:31:59.789 --> 00:32:01.829 it was all right. I mean, his shoulders seemed 00:32:01.829 --> 00:32:04.349 heavier, and I was worried, but some of that 00:32:04.349 --> 00:32:08.839 change was good. He was bolder. He, um... Did 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:14.779 he tell you that he kissed me? Finally coming 00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:18.640 out, huh? She just blushes and kind of looks 00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:22.279 down. He said it was your advice he was acting 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:26.299 on, actually. He said his words, when you know, 00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:33.359 you know, you know? Those were literally my exact 00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:39.430 words. It was adorably awkward. I mean, was it 00:32:39.430 --> 00:32:44.910 good advice? She just kind of looks down, won't 00:32:44.910 --> 00:32:47.569 look you in the eyes. Yes, it was very good advice, 00:32:47.769 --> 00:32:51.930 yes. But that's the thing. It was fine then. 00:32:52.650 --> 00:32:56.329 And then you left for God's Breath. No one's 00:32:56.329 --> 00:32:59.509 told me what happened there, but he's been different 00:32:59.509 --> 00:33:02.230 in a new way. He won't even look me in the eyes. 00:33:02.490 --> 00:33:06.339 He'll barely talk. He's never home. I never hear. 00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.259 I try to track him down and I can't. I feel like 00:33:09.259 --> 00:33:15.259 he's avoiding me. We saw some things. Felt some 00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:23.980 things that I never wanted any of you to see 00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:28.599 or feel. I warned you that this would happen. 00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.920 He's not strong like you. I mean, he has the 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.599 potential. He can fight, but in his heart, he's 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.049 not... Let me tell you, James, he can fight. 00:33:37.609 --> 00:33:41.890 He is a hero. What's it going to cost him to 00:33:41.890 --> 00:33:47.910 be a hero? But I recognize that the darkness 00:33:47.910 --> 00:33:53.309 that I know is spreading. I never ever wanted 00:33:53.309 --> 00:33:58.970 to expose Chester or any of you to anything that's 00:33:58.970 --> 00:34:04.210 out there. And I don't know what I expected going 00:34:04.210 --> 00:34:12.230 there. But it was way too much. What do we do 00:34:12.230 --> 00:34:17.070 now? Like you said, it's not over. And Jules, 00:34:17.110 --> 00:34:20.530 we know your family's waiting. They're there 00:34:20.530 --> 00:34:24.809 on Sunset Yarn, right? And what sort of darkness 00:34:24.809 --> 00:34:28.530 are you going to face then? He'll break. The 00:34:28.530 --> 00:34:35.150 only way to keep him and you all safe is to keep 00:34:35.150 --> 00:34:40.179 you. As far away from them as possible. I'm not 00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:43.559 going to ask Chester to come with me. It's not 00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:47.199 about asking. I'm not going to let him come with 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:53.739 me. She breathes out the deepest, heaviest sigh 00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:57.400 of relief at those words. You see tears sort 00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:58.719 of forming at the corners of her eyes and she 00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.239 just wipes them and... I know it's a lot to ask, 00:35:02.260 --> 00:35:07.679 but... Thank you. It's... It's for the best, 00:35:07.699 --> 00:35:11.460 I promise. You won't like it, but it's for the 00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:17.539 best. Don't thank me. You just keep Chester safe. 00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:20.920 Until I bring the rest of our family back home 00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:27.280 safe. She just smiles. Okay, I will. I promise. 00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:31.519 I've got to go. The morning chores need doing. 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:37.940 But I promise, I will. And she backs out of the 00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:42.780 doorway. In down the hall. What have I done? 00:35:43.780 --> 00:35:48.679 We're going to see. But first things first. Zebulon. 00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:51.960 Let's say you're moving down the stairs into 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:57.219 the actual brewpub proper. And maybe you wake 00:35:57.219 --> 00:36:00.059 up a little earlier than Jules in this day. Maybe 00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:02.699 you actually follow Jean as she scuttles down. 00:36:03.949 --> 00:36:05.769 But something surprises you as you walk down 00:36:05.769 --> 00:36:10.070 to the room. You see there's a customer at the 00:36:10.070 --> 00:36:12.590 bar, drinking. It's early morning. They really 00:36:12.590 --> 00:36:17.550 shouldn't be open right now. Oh. Excuse me, can 00:36:17.550 --> 00:36:19.849 I help you? I don't think this place is open 00:36:19.849 --> 00:36:25.030 yet. And as you say this, this figure turns to 00:36:25.030 --> 00:36:29.389 look at you and just says, Oh, Zebulon, there 00:36:29.389 --> 00:36:34.340 you are. I was looking for you. Hey. Hey, Oren. 00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:37.099 Can you see? I'm trying to get the right voice. 00:36:37.820 --> 00:36:39.400 I tried again because it wasn't good enough. 00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:42.619 It sounded a whole lot like Oren. Zeb, is that 00:36:42.619 --> 00:36:45.960 Oren down there? Is that Oren? Second take. Give 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:48.260 me a second. Don't keep this in. I didn't recognize 00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:50.300 him, but I know he's got that hat. It sounds 00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:52.420 a lot like Oren. It's not a hat. I thought I 00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:54.400 heard his voice. You're going to keep all this. 00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:57.940 All right. I didn't practice the voice. That's 00:36:57.940 --> 00:37:00.400 okay. Give me a second. I just thought that's 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:03.519 who it was. Hang on. Let me do some. Some words. 00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:08.559 Zebulon. No, it's Arhalon. It was a decent split. 00:37:08.579 --> 00:37:11.059 Zebulon. No, that was Arhalon. That was Arhalon. 00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:15.280 No, Arhalon's more like this. This voice is rougher. 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.039 Okay. How about this? Now it's all standard. 00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:20.980 It sounds a lot like Arhalon. Damn it. It's my 00:37:20.980 --> 00:37:22.440 voice, so it's always going to sound a little 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.780 bit like Arhalon. Well, yeah. That sounded as 00:37:25.780 --> 00:37:27.599 much like Arhalon as the other voice sounded 00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:32.130 like Orin. Son of a bitch. I'll stick to a rigid 00:37:32.130 --> 00:37:34.869 sort of way of talking like this. Yes, I like 00:37:34.869 --> 00:37:37.750 this. Let's stay steadfast and sturdy with my 00:37:37.750 --> 00:37:40.190 words. Definitely sounds militaristic. There 00:37:40.190 --> 00:37:42.929 we go. That's perfect. Boom. You can keep some 00:37:42.929 --> 00:37:45.650 of this. I don't care. Is this Commander Ariat? 00:37:45.690 --> 00:37:49.570 Is that his name? You see, Captain Commander 00:37:49.570 --> 00:37:53.110 Aria of the Shield Heirs. And this was the guy 00:37:53.110 --> 00:37:56.429 who revived Zebulon? It is, actually. Okay, yeah. 00:37:56.760 --> 00:38:00.360 Harriot saved you on Tythos. He piloted the Sapphire 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:03.659 to and from the city. He led the shield bearers 00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:08.860 in that battle, in that rescue. And he is here 00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:13.340 drinking at about 8 o 'clock in the morning in 00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:19.380 the dirtiest pub on the Citadel. Yeah, Zebulon's 00:38:19.380 --> 00:38:23.199 definitely surprised and a little cautious, especially... 00:38:23.769 --> 00:38:26.730 Right after, you know, the big announcement, 00:38:26.829 --> 00:38:31.329 to see a high -ranking military figure here looking 00:38:31.329 --> 00:38:37.349 for him. Yeah, that's, yeah. Yeah, Ariat. Commander, 00:38:37.510 --> 00:38:42.289 sir. Commander. I'm off duty. It's Ariat. Ariat. 00:38:42.789 --> 00:38:46.809 Sir, how can I help you? I'm here for a drink. 00:38:47.170 --> 00:38:50.510 Join me. He pushes a bar stool out for you. Oh, 00:38:50.550 --> 00:38:53.039 did you just? He sits down. Do you just grab 00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:56.179 that, or...? Aether actually kind of bustles 00:38:56.179 --> 00:38:58.920 out from the back. He's up surprisingly early, 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.260 which has been a big shift from him since Gene 00:39:01.260 --> 00:39:05.539 started working. He's... Oh, hey, Zebulon. You 00:39:05.539 --> 00:39:10.239 met my big regular here. Oh. Huh, that's funny. 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:14.280 I mean, we've never seen... Yeah. It's been busy 00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:17.119 since the Tithos tragedy. I haven't had time 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.780 to get out, but this is my favorite place to 00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:22.780 frequent. Oh, well, um... That's really nice. 00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:26.880 Welcome back. And let me describe Arya a little 00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.579 more for everybody here. You see he's a little 00:39:29.579 --> 00:39:32.840 over 40 years old. He's got kind of a shorter 00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.440 build, but very sturdy with very commanding presence. 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.119 You know, broad shoulders, just, you know, rough 00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.360 and tumble. He's got a very harsh brown, intense 00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:44.679 gray eyes, very strong set jaw. There's scars 00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:46.960 crisscrossing the back of his head and down the 00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:48.699 back of his neck, disappearing into his, like... 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:50.840 It looks like he's not really wearing shieldbearer 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:52.639 armor now, just wearing sort of general, sort 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:56.219 of very basic, very rough clothing. You'll see 00:39:56.219 --> 00:39:59.179 there's two dots marking his forehead. It looks 00:39:59.179 --> 00:40:02.360 to be some kind of ash marking, as though he 00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:05.559 dipped his two fingers of his hand in ash and 00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:07.440 pressed them to his head. And have I seen him 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:09.900 like this before? You have, actually. And if 00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:11.739 you want, you can actually roll a history check 00:40:11.739 --> 00:40:13.360 if you want to get an idea of what this means. 00:40:15.659 --> 00:40:20.400 That's a 14. 14 will get you this. It's probably 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.059 something that was mentioned to you by Arhalon, 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.440 actually, before, when he's, you know, geeking 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:26.699 out over how cool Captain Commander Ariat is. 00:40:26.940 --> 00:40:32.000 But Ariat's sort of forehead is decorated by 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.300 these ash dots that they're actually a symbol 00:40:34.300 --> 00:40:39.619 of mourning in the world of Dayalangan, where 00:40:39.619 --> 00:40:44.750 Ariat is from. What's interesting is normally 00:40:44.750 --> 00:40:46.929 when someone close to you dies in this world, 00:40:46.949 --> 00:40:48.929 they will dip their fingers in ash, as I said, 00:40:48.929 --> 00:40:50.610 and press to your forehead as a sign showing 00:40:50.610 --> 00:40:55.690 the world that you are grieving. Ariat is always 00:40:55.690 --> 00:40:59.469 grieving. He always has the marks on his head. 00:40:59.590 --> 00:41:02.750 Oh, tragic. Arlon says they're a way of honoring 00:41:02.750 --> 00:41:04.610 all the shield bearers that have died under his 00:41:04.610 --> 00:41:08.090 command, because there have been many. But he 00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:11.030 just looks over at you, smiling, this happy smile, 00:41:11.070 --> 00:41:12.570 and you see he's already probably maybe two drinks 00:41:12.570 --> 00:41:18.679 in. So Zebulon's definitely worried. Wow. And 00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:20.739 what was the last thing he said? He said he was 00:41:20.739 --> 00:41:22.260 basically just a frequent here and he offered 00:41:22.260 --> 00:41:26.519 you a seat. Oh, okay. Yeah. So sitting next to 00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:30.639 him, Zip's just going to put his arms on the 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.480 table, get comfortable, and look over to Ariat 00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:38.960 and wait to hear what else he has to say. I think 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:43.519 he watches you settle down and his face. Any 00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.400 of the sort of joy found there sort of fades 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:48.340 away. He just nods and you realize there is something 00:41:48.340 --> 00:41:51.639 grim coming. I want to talk to you about your 00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:56.460 brother while you're here. Things have been bad 00:41:56.460 --> 00:42:00.719 for him. Is he okay? He's fine, he's fine, but 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:03.920 I don't know what happened ever since the, well, 00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:09.019 the incident here with the children. He's been 00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:11.719 under some stress. Maybe it's brought on by... 00:42:12.170 --> 00:42:15.809 Losing the arm in the fight on Tithos, but he's 00:42:15.809 --> 00:42:17.889 been demanding more investigative duties and 00:42:17.889 --> 00:42:20.710 rights. He wants to look into the LaRoche family. 00:42:21.030 --> 00:42:24.829 He wants to invade Cirilla's quarters, and you 00:42:24.829 --> 00:42:27.989 know we can't do that. But he's spending so much 00:42:27.989 --> 00:42:31.250 time fixating on this and not on his work. And, 00:42:31.289 --> 00:42:36.150 well, he came by last night. It was actually 00:42:36.150 --> 00:42:39.130 just after, well, your big appearance on the 00:42:39.130 --> 00:42:44.699 network. Congratulations. Thanks. He came by 00:42:44.699 --> 00:42:47.960 and he was in a state. He demanded I give him 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:49.860 leave to investigate corruption in the Roach 00:42:49.860 --> 00:42:52.880 family now. He wanted me to sign off on a raid. 00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:56.400 He said that she was holding children against 00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:59.019 their will. Cirilla LaRoche was holding these 00:42:59.019 --> 00:43:02.000 children against their will. And he even implied 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.920 that he was somehow aware of the fact that the 00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:07.820 LaRoches were behind the Tythos tragedy. Something 00:43:07.820 --> 00:43:09.860 to do with worshipping fiends, but there's no 00:43:09.860 --> 00:43:12.159 hard evidence, and I told them to back down. 00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.199 We're search and rescue agents. We're bodies 00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.559 to act out the humanitarian will of the Citadel. 00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.480 We act out the will of the speakers. We can't 00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:23.179 simply turn on them because we feel it is right. 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.639 And I told him he's under a lot of stress. The 00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.780 time away might do him good. He lost an arm to 00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:33.619 the storm eye and was back working only a day 00:43:33.619 --> 00:43:36.269 after it was returned to him. It's still not 00:43:36.269 --> 00:43:38.650 even working yet, so I put him on leave, and 00:43:38.650 --> 00:43:43.730 he decided to make that leave permanent. He reaches 00:43:43.730 --> 00:43:48.590 into his pocket and draws out a brass shield, 00:43:48.869 --> 00:43:54.170 a small little token, and drops it on the counter, 00:43:54.250 --> 00:43:57.449 sliding in front of you. And you really recognize 00:43:57.449 --> 00:44:02.570 a badge with the name Arathelon Brass pressed 00:44:02.570 --> 00:44:06.059 in across it. Your brother quit the Shieldbearers. 00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:17.159 Wordlessly, Zebulon picks up the badge and holds 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:21.900 it in two hands and flips it over and reads it 00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:26.079 out loud. Did you say it says Arathelon? It does. 00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:32.949 It's funny. It's your brother's full name. And 00:44:32.949 --> 00:44:36.429 yet everyone always shortens it. It's never used. 00:44:37.449 --> 00:44:41.170 And you get the strangest tingling feeling at 00:44:41.170 --> 00:44:43.550 the back of your head when you read it, when 00:44:43.550 --> 00:44:47.329 you say it, but... No, no, no, it's nothing. 00:44:47.449 --> 00:44:49.309 It's nothing at all. It feels foreign in his 00:44:49.309 --> 00:44:53.050 mouth. Yeah. You don't know why your brother 00:44:53.050 --> 00:44:55.789 hates it so much. Why Sholay hates it so much. 00:44:56.250 --> 00:45:01.980 That name. Paracelon? Where did he... Where did 00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:06.179 he go? Do you know where he is? I believe he's 00:45:06.179 --> 00:45:09.719 still here. On the Citadel. Probably locked up 00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:13.019 in his apartment. No one's seen him around. Who 00:45:13.019 --> 00:45:16.679 else knows about what he's been saying? I mean, 00:45:16.780 --> 00:45:19.400 he kind of looks down at the drift, swirling 00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.480 liquid in his glass, getting very low. I had 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:27.099 to report it to your grandmother. She knows everything. 00:45:28.429 --> 00:45:33.829 Is anybody taking it seriously? It seems serious 00:45:33.829 --> 00:45:39.170 enough. But maybe it's a good thing. I've always 00:45:39.170 --> 00:45:45.090 liked Arlon. But he is partial to heroics. I 00:45:45.090 --> 00:45:47.690 have seen a lot of good men like him die on mission. 00:45:47.730 --> 00:45:49.369 You see he presses his fingers up towards his 00:45:49.369 --> 00:45:52.889 forehead. Don't misunderstand me, Commander. 00:45:53.030 --> 00:45:56.780 I'm not asking about... What I'm asking is, is 00:45:56.780 --> 00:46:00.639 anybody taking what he's saying seriously? But, 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.159 no. Of course not. He... Is it untrustworthy? 00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:09.219 Has he given you any reason to doubt him? He 00:46:09.219 --> 00:46:14.360 has. He's been... He's tired. And he's been through 00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:18.619 a lot. And the way he's talking, it's not like 00:46:18.619 --> 00:46:23.360 him. It's not normal. I... Arhan is a good shield 00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:27.099 bearer. Maybe one of the best. You can't just 00:46:27.099 --> 00:46:30.579 brush him aside because what he's saying doesn't 00:46:30.579 --> 00:46:37.340 sound as hard. What he had to do that day with 00:46:37.340 --> 00:46:43.780 those kids was hard. It was wrong. We aren't 00:46:43.780 --> 00:46:48.199 spies. We aren't investigators. We are search 00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:50.780 and rescue agents in the hands of the speakers. 00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:53.900 If this is what he wants, then he does not want 00:46:53.900 --> 00:46:57.800 to be a shield -bearer. So... So why are you 00:46:57.800 --> 00:46:59.559 really here? What are you going to do about all 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:03.500 this? And he just raised his glass. I'm here 00:47:03.500 --> 00:47:06.980 to drink. I just lost my best lieutenant. And 00:47:06.980 --> 00:47:10.860 it's my day off. My first in a while. I haven't 00:47:10.860 --> 00:47:15.300 had a day like this since... Tithos. This takes 00:47:15.300 --> 00:47:19.800 a long sip. So let's talk about something more. 00:47:21.809 --> 00:47:25.449 Upbeat. He nods down at your belt. Those sabers. 00:47:26.550 --> 00:47:29.429 Arlon gave them to you, didn't he? He helped 00:47:29.429 --> 00:47:31.630 me learn how to use them. Did you know they used 00:47:31.630 --> 00:47:35.110 to be mine? An old pair of my weapons, collecting 00:47:35.110 --> 00:47:38.510 dust in the Shieldbearer barracks? No, I assumed 00:47:38.510 --> 00:47:41.929 they were just old training weapons. And he kind 00:47:41.929 --> 00:47:45.130 of just smiles. I've seen they've served you 00:47:45.130 --> 00:47:49.449 well. You're good. I watched the footage. had 00:47:49.449 --> 00:47:53.510 a good teacher. If you ever want to really know 00:47:53.510 --> 00:47:57.889 how to use those weapons, let me know. I am versed 00:47:57.889 --> 00:48:01.530 in the ancient arch of Eskrima. It's a deowlingan 00:48:01.530 --> 00:48:06.030 art. And, uh, I'm passing good. You see, he does 00:48:06.030 --> 00:48:07.829 have very similar weapons. He has two blades 00:48:07.829 --> 00:48:10.989 in his belt as well. Finer crafted and maybe 00:48:10.989 --> 00:48:13.550 magical for the looks of things. With all due 00:48:13.550 --> 00:48:18.250 respect, Commander Ariad, if you're not gonna 00:48:18.670 --> 00:48:20.530 take my brother seriously and help him, then 00:48:20.530 --> 00:48:23.550 I don't think I have the time to train with you. 00:48:23.590 --> 00:48:27.789 I think I should probably help him. And Zebulon 00:48:27.789 --> 00:48:33.449 grabs the badge and swings his legs over the 00:48:33.449 --> 00:48:39.769 chair to leave. Ariat just raises his glass towards 00:48:39.769 --> 00:48:43.570 you. Good luck, then. You're a good brother. 00:48:44.929 --> 00:48:51.119 And he takes a sip as you walk away. Holy shit. 00:48:52.179 --> 00:48:54.500 Holy shit. I know what you were trying to do 00:48:54.500 --> 00:48:57.440 there, and I'm sorry. No, I love this. In fact, 00:48:57.579 --> 00:48:59.679 Zebulon, I want to keep following you around 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:01.659 for a little bit longer. Just a little bit longer. 00:49:01.980 --> 00:49:03.599 Uncomfortable. Oh, yeah. Where are you going? 00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:08.239 To Arhalon's apartment. So you press out the 00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:12.480 saloon doors into the streets. And it's interesting, 00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.199 because as you start walking down those streets... 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.639 a very strange sensation comes over you. Well, 00:49:17.780 --> 00:49:20.119 no, he had a strange sensation walking out of 00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:23.199 the place. He had that almost sense of vertigo 00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:28.420 when, I don't know, when you lose a job or somebody 00:49:28.420 --> 00:49:32.639 dumps you or you experience, you know, I don't 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:34.119 want to be as dramatic as saying a death in the 00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:36.380 family, but you know what I mean? That feeling 00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:39.280 where you're almost floating and falling at the 00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.880 same time. Kind of like that cinematic thing 00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:43.739 where the camera's like doing circles around 00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:47.440 you and you're kind of looking around. It's fascinating 00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:50.940 because while you're experiencing this, you're 00:49:50.940 --> 00:49:53.480 watching as almost every face on the street is 00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:56.679 turning towards you. Whispering and pointing. 00:49:56.900 --> 00:50:00.119 Is that? Is that? Right. This is the. He finally 00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:03.530 got what he wanted. And this is the worst time 00:50:03.530 --> 00:50:05.849 to be famous. People are trying to approach you 00:50:05.849 --> 00:50:07.750 and maybe you're just rushing. Are you like you're 00:50:07.750 --> 00:50:10.349 stopping to talk? He's not jogging, but he's 00:50:10.349 --> 00:50:13.289 like fast walking. And he's trying to put on 00:50:13.289 --> 00:50:15.690 a smile. And he's like, you know, as he's passing 00:50:15.690 --> 00:50:18.070 people by, he's turning his body to like walk 00:50:18.070 --> 00:50:21.070 sideways and backwards to apologize. I'm sorry. 00:50:21.289 --> 00:50:24.710 I'm really busy right now. I can't stop. Thank 00:50:24.710 --> 00:50:28.590 you so much. I'm going to be back. I'm going 00:50:28.590 --> 00:50:31.389 to be back around. It's really. Thank you so 00:50:31.389 --> 00:50:35.030 much. I just, I can't right now. And you're just 00:50:35.030 --> 00:50:37.269 pushing, pushing past, moving past. The crowds 00:50:37.269 --> 00:50:39.150 keep opening up around you. People looking, people 00:50:39.150 --> 00:50:41.489 staring, people pointing, people laughing, cheering. 00:50:42.409 --> 00:50:46.030 And you barely see it. Pushing and pushing and 00:50:46.030 --> 00:50:48.869 pushing until you find yourself towards the top 00:50:48.869 --> 00:50:51.969 of the coil of the great fossil that the city 00:50:51.969 --> 00:50:57.739 is built on by the Palace of Exile. and your 00:50:57.739 --> 00:50:59.860 apartment with Arhalon, which lies just to the 00:50:59.860 --> 00:51:02.360 side of it. You work your way up to this sort 00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:05.380 of long building. You guys are on the second 00:51:05.380 --> 00:51:08.019 story. You work up some stairs, and you see just 00:51:08.019 --> 00:51:10.940 like a large sort of, you know, sort of basic 00:51:10.940 --> 00:51:13.400 doorway, pretty basic tenements. What do you 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:17.320 do? Zebulon doesn't even knock. He just goes 00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.579 right in. You find the door is locked, which 00:51:20.579 --> 00:51:23.820 has never been the case before. Yeah, I can see 00:51:23.820 --> 00:51:27.070 the motion, because, like, I know. Just muscle 00:51:27.070 --> 00:51:29.429 memory, how many times I've gone to open a door 00:51:29.429 --> 00:51:32.650 and like half walked in. Yeah. To discover it's 00:51:32.650 --> 00:51:38.469 locked. So he steps back and knocks on the door 00:51:38.469 --> 00:51:42.969 fairly hard. He's like this weird mixture of 00:51:42.969 --> 00:51:50.869 scared, sad, confused. A long moment passes and 00:51:50.869 --> 00:51:56.510 the door opens. Before you see your brother, 00:51:56.650 --> 00:51:58.809 then the first thing that catches your eye, because 00:51:58.809 --> 00:52:01.369 it's strange, is the inside of the apartment. 00:52:02.230 --> 00:52:06.510 Where immediately you see that the wall that 00:52:06.510 --> 00:52:08.329 you had, that you took, it was basically yours, 00:52:08.389 --> 00:52:10.389 filled with luminary decorations and figures 00:52:10.389 --> 00:52:13.710 and posters and whatnot. Everything has been 00:52:13.710 --> 00:52:16.929 torn down. And you see like Arlan's conspiracy 00:52:16.929 --> 00:52:18.889 board has spread all the way to your side of 00:52:18.889 --> 00:52:21.809 the room as well. You see like boxes of your 00:52:21.809 --> 00:52:25.300 stuff pressed into one corner in the back. And 00:52:25.300 --> 00:52:28.360 then you see your brother, the proud brass dragon 00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:32.480 brought low. We fucking broke Arhuan. His eyes 00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:36.159 are just red and exhausted. Looks like he has 00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:40.019 not slept in days. And while he still towers 00:52:40.019 --> 00:52:42.980 above you, he looks so small now, one arm still 00:52:42.980 --> 00:52:46.099 hanging limp at his side. His left arm pushing 00:52:46.099 --> 00:52:48.579 the door open. He just stares down at you with, 00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:53.199 like, this face, stupefied. Arhuan, what are 00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:55.070 you... What is going on? What is this about? 00:52:55.329 --> 00:53:02.110 And he holds out the badge. Zebulon. So you deign 00:53:02.110 --> 00:53:07.130 to make an appearance here? Come to gloat? What 00:53:07.130 --> 00:53:10.530 are you doing? What are you talking about? What 00:53:10.530 --> 00:53:15.150 are you doing, Zebulon Black? Was the name Brass 00:53:15.150 --> 00:53:18.449 not good enough for you? Can't share a name with 00:53:18.449 --> 00:53:23.550 me? Too good to share a name with me? That, that's... 00:53:23.550 --> 00:53:26.409 Is that really what all this is about? I don't 00:53:26.409 --> 00:53:30.449 want to hear it! You think you're so much fucking 00:53:30.449 --> 00:53:33.630 better than me, don't you? Are you all gallivanting 00:53:33.630 --> 00:53:35.809 around, saving worlds, while your brother, he 00:53:35.809 --> 00:53:38.409 has to go and bring children to demon worshippers? 00:53:39.570 --> 00:53:42.929 You think you're so fucking righteous? You're 00:53:42.929 --> 00:53:45.730 nothing! Nothing without me! And now you're out 00:53:45.730 --> 00:53:48.309 there, Zebulon. The worlds are watching, Zebulon. 00:53:48.389 --> 00:53:50.250 They're gonna see every mistake you make, and 00:53:50.250 --> 00:53:53.849 when you fuck up, I won't be there to save you. 00:53:54.349 --> 00:53:59.510 Not anymore. Then why did you quit? He just stands 00:53:59.510 --> 00:54:02.869 there for a long moment, glaring down at you. 00:54:02.909 --> 00:54:05.409 There's heat in his eyes. There's smoke pouring 00:54:05.409 --> 00:54:07.769 from the sides of his mouth. Yeah, Zebulon's 00:54:07.769 --> 00:54:11.070 on his back foot. He's, like, trying not to show 00:54:11.070 --> 00:54:14.829 that he's scared. Now he's got, you know, his 00:54:14.829 --> 00:54:19.030 own sort of chops, but he's terrified. He's ready 00:54:19.030 --> 00:54:26.619 to bolt. Go. Zebulon, go! And don't you dare 00:54:26.619 --> 00:54:34.079 come back! I can help you. This isn't you. He 00:54:34.079 --> 00:54:39.800 just stands there glaring. Unmoved. Body shaking. 00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:47.039 Hands curling into fists. Zebulon drops the badge. 00:54:49.019 --> 00:54:53.179 And... Takes a few steps back without turning 00:54:53.179 --> 00:54:58.519 his back. And turns to walk away. That's right. 00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:02.699 Run, little Zebulon. Run back to your new friends 00:55:02.699 --> 00:55:06.139 and your new life. You're too good for me now. 00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:11.760 And you hear the door slam behind you. And before 00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:17.380 the door even shuts, Zebulon's tearing up. He's 00:55:17.380 --> 00:55:21.110 broken his brother and... Doesn't know how to 00:55:21.110 --> 00:55:25.989 fix him. And we pan away from that. Because it's 00:55:25.989 --> 00:55:29.590 your turn, Jules. No. Oh, yes. Please, no. It's 00:55:29.590 --> 00:55:34.070 your turn. Please, no. We pan. What are you doing 00:55:34.070 --> 00:55:37.789 now? After your conversation with Jeans? You 00:55:37.789 --> 00:55:41.530 know Chester is out. You don't know where. I 00:55:41.530 --> 00:55:45.269 think after the conversation with Jeans, is there 00:55:45.269 --> 00:55:48.210 a back entrance that I could go out of? Covered 00:55:48.210 --> 00:55:51.659 in my cloak? I don't think there's a back entrance. 00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:54.059 There's a side entrance in the stables, basically. 00:55:54.059 --> 00:55:56.539 You could do that. Is there a place that I could 00:55:56.539 --> 00:55:59.739 go out of with my hood over me where people wouldn't 00:55:59.739 --> 00:56:01.639 immediately recognize me walking out the door? 00:56:01.820 --> 00:56:03.480 I think that's doable, yeah. No one knows where 00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:07.119 you live yet. So then in that case, after the 00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:10.519 conversation with Jeans, I left and started walking 00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:15.500 around looking for Chester. You move up the city 00:56:15.500 --> 00:56:18.119 streets, and you have a very different experience 00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:20.519 from Zebulon. Maybe you still have that same 00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:23.639 sick feeling he had, but people don't stop and 00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:26.820 recognize you as you move. As you keep yourself 00:56:26.820 --> 00:56:30.440 low, keep your face mostly hidden. Your eyes 00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:32.980 sweeping left and right, trying to find any sign. 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:39.840 Roll me a perception check. That's a 17. Okay. 00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:43.820 You move out of the sort of... Let's say as a 00:56:43.820 --> 00:56:46.159 trade discal, the main sort of center thoroughfare 00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:50.489 of the... Radiant Citadel goes lower and lower 00:56:50.489 --> 00:56:54.150 towards the tail of the serpent. You basically, 00:56:54.269 --> 00:56:58.170 like, it's a lot less frequented. The businesses 00:56:58.170 --> 00:56:59.969 there are a little rougher, like Deadly Coyote. 00:57:00.130 --> 00:57:01.909 But you're moving up and up and up to where things 00:57:01.909 --> 00:57:04.130 are much nicer. To where the people walking around 00:57:04.130 --> 00:57:06.349 are much more well -to -do and well -dressed. 00:57:07.010 --> 00:57:10.269 And then you see a sign for the pale moonlight. 00:57:10.929 --> 00:57:13.550 This big, actually sort of magical sign glowing 00:57:13.550 --> 00:57:17.519 with a soft light. And... As you kind of see 00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:19.960 that sign, you see this big sort of very fancy, 00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:25.280 I think it's like a Guido Nito -based inn. You 00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:29.500 see Chester peeking out of an alley, seems to 00:57:29.500 --> 00:57:32.360 be watching the building, watching the front 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:37.099 doors with some interest. He also has his head 00:57:37.099 --> 00:57:40.500 kind of covered, his red hair sort of pulled 00:57:40.500 --> 00:57:44.340 down in a hood himself, just so he doesn't catch, 00:57:44.460 --> 00:57:47.409 because he also was shown. But he's laying low 00:57:47.409 --> 00:57:51.010 as well. He's up to something. Can I get up behind 00:57:51.010 --> 00:57:54.010 him without him noticing me? Yeah. Yeah, you 00:57:54.010 --> 00:57:57.289 take an alley, veer left off the road, turn down 00:57:57.289 --> 00:58:00.510 an alley behind a building, and you see Chester 00:58:00.510 --> 00:58:02.329 from behind the edge of the alley looking into 00:58:02.329 --> 00:58:06.230 the street, staying low. As I come up behind 00:58:06.230 --> 00:58:10.510 him, I'm going to bend down and give him a little... 00:58:11.299 --> 00:58:14.239 Playful nudge with my hands. Oh, shit! What you 00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:16.980 doing? What you doing? Jules! Jules! Hey, whoa! 00:58:17.380 --> 00:58:19.980 Hey, come on. You're gonna blow my cover. Mr. 00:58:20.159 --> 00:58:22.579 Buddy, what you been up to? Oh, hey. Look at 00:58:22.579 --> 00:58:25.679 this. I got a, uh... I got a scam for us, right? 00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:29.079 Now, take a look here. See? Pale moonlight. Everyone 00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:31.440 here's a douche, right? With the toilet. You 00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:33.820 have been waiting for the opportunity to showcase 00:58:33.820 --> 00:58:37.460 the pale moonlight in this campaign. So am I, 00:58:37.460 --> 00:58:39.260 to be perfectly honest. Yeah, and here it is. 00:58:39.380 --> 00:58:40.699 All right, go ahead. Look at this guy. Look at 00:58:40.699 --> 00:58:42.079 this guy. And he points out and you see like 00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:44.280 kind of moving out of the door. There's this 00:58:44.280 --> 00:58:47.519 red dragonborn and like long silken robes of 00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:49.860 deep blue. The sort of natural tendrils that 00:58:49.860 --> 00:58:51.800 run from his head are bound by gold rings into 00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.300 like a tail down his back. And his fingers are 00:58:54.300 --> 00:58:56.699 decorated with a variety of gemstone rings. Just 00:58:56.699 --> 00:58:59.960 looks very, very wealthy. Very well to do that. 00:59:00.179 --> 00:59:02.619 And he just is just like, yeah, you see him? 00:59:03.159 --> 00:59:05.360 Yeah, I see him. Now that fella is carrying gold. 00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:07.940 I've been looking into him. His name is Doan 00:59:07.940 --> 00:59:09.969 Bay, right? He's some cousin or other of the 00:59:09.969 --> 00:59:12.530 Queen of Yanito. And we're going to con him. 00:59:12.909 --> 00:59:15.449 Well, how's that? Well, I don't know. I was thinking 00:59:15.449 --> 00:59:17.809 maybe Snake in the Grass? Boy Who Cried Zone? 00:59:18.590 --> 00:59:22.050 Tomato Soup? You got illusion magic now. I mean, 00:59:22.070 --> 00:59:24.190 come on. We can get creative. But, like, think 00:59:24.190 --> 00:59:26.150 about it. We got all those low city folk. They're 00:59:26.150 --> 00:59:28.429 still at the Palace of Exile, you know. And someone's 00:59:28.429 --> 00:59:32.010 got to help them. Chester. Chester. What? What? 00:59:32.570 --> 00:59:39.030 What? Can we do this? Just one game. Like before, 00:59:39.150 --> 00:59:42.250 right? Like Tithos. Those people still need us. 00:59:42.389 --> 00:59:46.150 Justin, listen to me. I'm listening, yeah. I'm 00:59:46.150 --> 00:59:50.530 sorry that things ain't normal right now. I know 00:59:50.530 --> 00:59:54.650 they're not normal. Don't, don't. Look at me. 00:59:55.909 --> 01:00:00.670 I've seen you grow into a hero. And what I need 01:00:00.670 --> 01:00:06.920 you to do now? Jules, stop. You need to be the 01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:10.579 hero for our family. Stop. Just one game. One 01:00:10.579 --> 01:00:14.679 game. Alright? Jules and Chester, remember? Jules 01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:16.420 and Chester. Everyone's gonna know our names. 01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:20.400 Helping the low folk. Taking on the high. Come 01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:25.119 on. That's what's happening. And it's always 01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:31.119 gonna be Jules and Chester. I need you. He's 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:36.469 just staring. My heart is like, going right now. 01:00:37.690 --> 01:00:43.710 Fuck. I need you to do what I can't do right 01:00:43.710 --> 01:00:49.769 now. I need you to be at home. They need you 01:00:49.769 --> 01:00:53.329 to be at home. Jeans needs you to be at home. 01:00:53.590 --> 01:00:56.449 You know I can't do that. Jules, we're not done. 01:00:57.170 --> 01:01:00.329 We got work to do, right? Those kids need saving. 01:01:00.429 --> 01:01:05.869 I'm not leaving you. No, we're not done. And 01:01:05.869 --> 01:01:08.269 I need you to be the hero for the family. Don't 01:01:08.269 --> 01:01:11.030 do it, Jules, Jules. Listen, Jules, I know, I 01:01:11.030 --> 01:01:12.809 know I've been awful. I know it's been hard. 01:01:13.909 --> 01:01:17.570 Chester. I can do this. I can do this, all right? 01:01:17.630 --> 01:01:22.150 When I first came to these streets, you saved 01:01:22.150 --> 01:01:28.909 me. Let me save you. But if I'm not there, I'm 01:01:28.909 --> 01:01:32.389 just going to have your back. You're always with 01:01:32.389 --> 01:01:39.650 me. You're always with me. Just... Let me say 01:01:39.650 --> 01:01:42.369 my piece, okay? Real quick, just let me say it. 01:01:42.409 --> 01:01:44.090 And you can decide what you want to decide. Because 01:01:44.090 --> 01:01:48.750 I... I know. It's been hard, right? Like... On 01:01:48.750 --> 01:01:51.329 Tsum Tsum Ko. It was different. We were dealing 01:01:51.329 --> 01:01:56.789 with con men. And... I can do that, right? I 01:01:56.789 --> 01:01:58.250 can handle that. I've seen it before, but... 01:01:58.250 --> 01:02:00.809 I watched Vile Rune die in front of my eyes. 01:02:01.269 --> 01:02:04.019 Right? I watched that fire almost kill that kid. 01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:09.920 And then God's breath and... Fuck. Jules, I wasn't 01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:12.539 ready for that, but I can be. I can make it. 01:02:12.579 --> 01:02:16.039 I can do it. I just need time, all right? And 01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:19.699 look, I don't want this. I don't want to change. 01:02:19.860 --> 01:02:21.440 I don't want to grow up. I don't want to be a 01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.420 luminary. I don't want any of it, but I want 01:02:24.420 --> 01:02:27.820 to be with you, all right? I like who I am with 01:02:27.820 --> 01:02:31.849 you, Jules. And... If we're Jules and Chester, 01:02:31.969 --> 01:02:34.130 I can do it. I can do it. I promise. Just... 01:02:34.130 --> 01:02:40.329 We're brothers, Jules. Look, I was afraid. I 01:02:40.329 --> 01:02:42.530 was afraid of changing. Because I still want 01:02:42.530 --> 01:02:45.269 to be Chester no matter what. And I don't feel 01:02:45.269 --> 01:02:47.070 like Chester anymore. I look in the mirror. I 01:02:47.070 --> 01:02:51.530 don't see me, but... Jules, I've been doing thinking, 01:02:51.590 --> 01:02:55.630 too. I love you, alright? And I love the Cherry 01:02:55.630 --> 01:02:57.349 Delights. And as long as I love you and the Cherry 01:02:57.349 --> 01:03:00.190 Delights, then I'm Chester. That won't change. 01:03:00.809 --> 01:03:03.030 No matter what happens, what I see, what we do 01:03:03.030 --> 01:03:07.030 together, I won't change, alright? One more chance. 01:03:08.190 --> 01:03:12.690 Please. I'll talk to you more. I'll open up, 01:03:12.750 --> 01:03:18.670 just... You trusted me enough to follow me into 01:03:18.670 --> 01:03:22.429 the darkness. And to open yourself up to that 01:03:22.429 --> 01:03:29.210 horror. We have trusted each other. Unconditionally. 01:03:30.769 --> 01:03:36.969 Always. And now I need you to trust me. When 01:03:36.969 --> 01:03:41.510 I say that you need to stay. Jules and Chester. 01:03:43.269 --> 01:03:49.630 Chester and Jules. We're one. And the family 01:03:49.630 --> 01:03:54.289 doesn't work without us there. They need you. 01:03:56.150 --> 01:04:01.949 James needs you. But... Don't you need me? I 01:04:01.949 --> 01:04:06.590 do. Then I should be by your side. I... Only 01:04:06.590 --> 01:04:12.949 for now. Right now, they're scared. And they 01:04:12.949 --> 01:04:17.949 need somebody strong. They need a hero, too. 01:04:19.809 --> 01:04:23.829 We're tackling this together. We're just... tackling 01:04:23.829 --> 01:04:26.889 different parts of it. We're still together. 01:04:28.309 --> 01:04:33.980 We're one. Jules and Chester. Chester and Jules. 01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:40.400 Fucking right. That's how it's always been. That's 01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:46.039 how it's always gonna be. Okay. But it's only 01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:48.980 temporary, right? Just for now. Just for now. 01:04:49.579 --> 01:04:51.679 I'll be back. I'll keep training and I'll... 01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:54.300 I'll have your back and I'll watch the Cherry 01:04:54.300 --> 01:04:57.219 Delights. I'll protect them. I promise. You are 01:04:57.219 --> 01:05:04.550 a hero, Chester. You're my hero. You watch as 01:05:04.550 --> 01:05:09.010 Chester's eyes fall, tears run down his freckled 01:05:09.010 --> 01:05:14.909 cheeks, and he rushes in to embrace you, pressing 01:05:14.909 --> 01:05:17.829 his face into your chest and just holding himself 01:05:17.829 --> 01:05:21.570 there. It's only temporary. We're back together. 01:05:21.710 --> 01:05:24.869 We will, right? Right? We're always together. 01:05:25.469 --> 01:05:30.559 I love you, buddy. I love you, Jules. And you 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:35.219 fall into this embrace as well. You feel this 01:05:35.219 --> 01:05:39.000 outpouring of emotions. And while you don't see 01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:41.960 it, while you two stand in that alley, while 01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:47.099 you hold each other, you can feel the light of 01:05:47.099 --> 01:05:49.980 your loot. You don't see the people in the streets 01:05:49.980 --> 01:05:54.559 that stop and gawk as a great brilliance shines 01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:57.420 from the alley. pouring out into the street, 01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:03.039 a brilliant white light. This lute from the Feywild. 01:06:03.739 --> 01:06:07.619 This lute connected to you and your emotions, 01:06:07.699 --> 01:06:12.260 shining brilliantly. And you could feel it shining 01:06:12.260 --> 01:06:15.380 in you, through you. You feel a well of power 01:06:15.380 --> 01:06:19.880 in you. And as you hold Chester, and you open 01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:22.099 your eyes for a moment, as a strange sensation 01:06:22.099 --> 01:06:27.880 overcomes you, as... Your body begins to vanish 01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:31.260 into this luminescent mist. You feel yourself 01:06:31.260 --> 01:06:34.179 being pulled away, free and carried on the wind, 01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:38.920 free of form. And then you feel yourself come 01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:43.599 back together, standing on the roof of the pale 01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:45.760 moonlight, looking down at that street, looking 01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:49.380 down at that alley. You see bits of mist coming 01:06:49.380 --> 01:06:52.900 off of your fingers. You have just used Misty 01:06:52.900 --> 01:06:56.909 Step. You've unlocked... The feet. Faye touched. 01:06:57.730 --> 01:06:59.809 In this moment, as you stare down, you hear a 01:06:59.809 --> 01:07:03.489 voice behind you say, Jules? What the hell was 01:07:03.489 --> 01:07:06.550 that? And you turn to see Chester behind you. 01:07:07.449 --> 01:07:09.769 Loon hasn't missed coming off his fingers as 01:07:09.769 --> 01:07:13.610 well, because Chester has also unlocked the Faye 01:07:13.610 --> 01:07:18.710 -touched feet. Holy fuck. Holy shit. And I think 01:07:18.710 --> 01:07:40.559 we'll call it there. This isn't easy for me to 01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:43.760 do. But, David, I present you with one of my 01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:48.880 buttons. What? Oh, man. Oh, you're going to regret 01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:51.380 this. Yeah, I already do. Fucking hell. Oh, boy. 01:07:51.739 --> 01:07:56.260 I've played in a lot of games with you, and that 01:07:56.260 --> 01:08:03.219 session was wild. For the listeners, you can't 01:08:03.219 --> 01:08:05.679 see what's happening, but I'm sure Steven and 01:08:05.679 --> 01:08:12.460 David both saw. I began crying. Tears came down 01:08:12.460 --> 01:08:15.219 my face. Dude, I've had like five or six waves 01:08:15.219 --> 01:08:20.520 of goosebumps. We broke earlier for a quick break, 01:08:20.779 --> 01:08:22.340 and I was telling you guys how many goosebumps 01:08:22.340 --> 01:08:26.020 I was having. And then this shit happened, and 01:08:26.020 --> 01:08:30.119 it got even wilder. My heart's been racing for 01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.300 too long. This is not healthy. Drink another 01:08:34.300 --> 01:08:34.739 Rockstar.
