Songwoven says
Can we please go ahead and introduce ourselves here in order from least to greatest.
Oh, hi, I am Emma Nostalgia.
No, no, no...
Damnit I have not done that...
You said least.
No, no, no, no... take it back...
Uh...
Oh, one second here because I've just realized on the stream that there's something that shouldn't be there
But can we please
Let's read what was there. What was there that shouldn't be there some personal information that the player
Should know
Were you prepping I have on your old 20
And I just want to say I'm completely
Today you're lucky today to me
Okay, we're starting the stream this
Obviously not the thing that's going on
Now that now that we have that we have completely lived down what happened
I'm your and I'm your narrator
There is no professional
Can we please introduce can we please Jenny introduce yourself? Hi, I'm Jenny like he just said
And I play
Cecilia Eidlund who?
Has her dad at home who is not okay and her sister probably following her who is probably really mad
That's my mini character recap
I should probably go into more detail because so that people like if people just want to come in and watch just clean
Spirit so they actually know who these characters are because it's kind of important. I think so Cecilia
Cecilia Eidlund is an 18 year old cleric of the goddess of the moon and
She's on a quest right now with Jean-Claude who she met on the road the Lanaya Road
Delivering moon shards across the continent
But the thing is she stole these moon shards from her sister who is actually the hero the older
older sister much older she's eight years older than her older sister who is a hero and
Because she didn't want her sister to be forced to go out and adventure anymore
Meanwhile, she also thought that she could find a better solution for their father who has been comatose since an encounter with a monster
for two years, which is a very long time and so
That is why she is adventuring and we've known each other for a week
But it's been a few months of playing now because we a lot happened
And I'm ever a Moscow
Be I'm the least and I play
I play Jean-Claude Boucheron. He is a fur ball
Paladin a middle-aged man who?
Gets drunk quite frequently
Who's a member of the grove and guard aka and in this world?
He's a park ranger, but he acts like he's a member of Secret Service
With the way he takes his job very seriously
We come to find out that Jean-Claude is actually a time traveler
and
He is a hundred so years into the future after trying to rescue his niece
Whose name is Sylvie from the Feywild because back in John Claude's time
Children were being kidnapped by this malicious and mysterious Fey
So he is in this current timeline just trying to get through
meets the young Cecilia
and
Is given a vision of
Not only to help her but soon discovers at the moon shards that Cecilia carries that carry great power
Really need to be that we have they have we have many colorful creepy characters coming after us
So he's along with her to guide her and protect her and to escort these moon shards across the continent
And yeah, he's got his own
Trauma as we do that could use some cleaning up in today's little indie mod
Before we do a really clean segue into
Our indie mod, I guess I have to start doing character introductions
It's along those NPCs though, so i'll start alphabetically so we're starting with aphias who is a skull
But much like Emma stated we are diving into a new
Temporarily for a moment before we start heading back into our own world
So we're going to start with aphias
We're going to start with aphias who is a new
Temporarily for a moment before we start heading back into our old ways, but we felt as if the session
This this session deemed it
necessary
For today's session of song woven. We are using the clean spirit
module by Cassie Mothwin
Yay, Cassie
That I was shown by uh by by Jenny who mean her
I totally forgot about like I was like, yeah, I remember seeing this but I thought Emma sent it but no
Way too much credit way too much credit because this is brilliant
And also Cassie's got another system coming out soon that me and Jenny are obsessed with it's disgusting already. Yeah, we need it
We really need it Cassie. We really deeply need that. We have 64 followers Cassie
Playing the clean spirit module, which is supposed to encourage a
Um, which is supposed to which is supposed to encourage evocative evocative whatever the word is
Uh emotional mo
Evocative magic?
We are in a mess tonight
This is like last time we played
This has to be our win, doge manis, hello
I'm a big fan
She's in the chat
Hi Cassie
It's supposed to evoke emotional moments a moment of downtime of
of people
Cleaning, uh cleaning a place together and that in itself, uh acting as a as a tender
A tender I fucking hit my mic a tender emotional situation
uh
But but between two people to draw them closer to one another
um
It is a role playing game meant for two to five people as you can see on the little graphic on the side there
And I highly recommend it. I fell in love with it the first just the concept alone
um
because uh me and Jenny we usually like in her 101 games, it's very slow and very uh
very uh, how do you say um
Very methodical not methodical. It's just very personal. I mean between characters uh characters in the story
Um, and this is something that's uh spoke to us greatly
um
so
Our two adventurers definitely need a break from everything that's been going on
And to decompress
Decompress emotionally and and cleanse their souls
Of little of what little we have left. The best thing I can possibly do is also say hey
Let's roll initiative in the middle of this game somewhere like if that somehow manifests
That would just completely ruin everything
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ow all right. Well with that said
Are we ready
We're ready. Oh, do we want to recap the last game?
Uh, I can try
Do you have oh do the do the do the recap that you have that you wrote jenny? Yeah, so
basically
Not that it's gonna matter this game because we're moving on to something else
Basically, it might matter a little bit if we bring it up, but the sickly lord who we talked to
Told us after we called him out for hiding his titan's fever when clod cast detect
poison and disease
um
Found out that he infected his family himself and his family with titan's fever on purpose
um
this rare disease that people don't
I like none of us knew much about
Um, and he did it as part of a deal, but wouldn't explain more
Um, and since his wife really didn't want to be there
Um, we went and kidnapped her and her brother. It wasn't kidnapping because they were willing but you know, whatever
Um, we were rescuing them and then
In their sick state still as we have them with us on our wagon running away from the guards because this was a smart idea
um
They mentioned something about um, you know taking down the king in revolution and we were like, okay
You know, we don't know what's going on anymore. And we just sent them back home
They were full amiss on our asses and we were not prepared for it like I don't know what to do
get between
This noble family in this region and get chased by
police again, basically
Like we're like you get to the city to take them back. So we sent them back home and um
but then one of the
Druids of the group the maple fritters turned out to be on our wagon disguised as our
cat, um
And he's not our cat augustus is our cat
This must be the craziest. He looked a lot like him though for like someone who's coming
Of for someone who's coming on for this like for the first time just to watch clean spirit. This is uh,
Must be the most craziest thing
The last session was just
all over the place
with the maple fritters a group of
um, I think it was like
Some sort of like resistance group like to the king to the crown also
But they're all druids in disguise as animals and things but we captured this cat and his group
When his group caught up to him, they were like, hey, you should just let them go. They seem innocent enough
And so they let us go after we he wanted to barter for the information we found out about the um
About the noble family who they were originally robbing from when we that's how you end up on our wagon. So that's what happened
Last time and it was just uh kind of
Insane and we we need a break. We need a break
Okay, that's like not even the craziest things that have been happening
Okay, well yeah that all definitely happened um
It has been a um, very chaotic week for the both of you this whole game so far has happened in a week
uh
But we promise that the rest of the camp the rest of the campaign is not as crazy
It's been pretty stable until they got to that one town
uh
Not as not as crazy. Um, you at least understood the craziness
Yes, that's fair fair
What that said, uh, there are gun those are fireworks outside of my uh house, whoa
Oh eagles. Yeah dated this episode. Okay, what that said fourth?
Jean claude and cecilia
It's a very small thing to say that this has been a very
Uh, chaotic week for the both of you
um this week has been filled with
a
It began with a very big beginning
um
Which has taken which take which has taken in the form of um defeating a
A lesser evil in the middle of a forest a beginning
a chance meeting
and
The coming together for a goal
To travel again to travel across the continent of mythren
Now on this adventure you've already met a few allies and you've and you've come across a few
adversaries of of different kinds
uh one of
one of lawful, uh one of lawful nature of a knight
of guards
um and others of a more
malithic
um malithic and mysterious nature
um
You have you have hidden from the rain you have hidden from storms
You have saw you have saw ghosts and an all manner of creature that you have never seen before
Because but also with the both of you the two of you have never seen so much
uh
so much
New things before you've never met so much different kind of people you've never
um
You you've never saw the manner of things that you've seen before
um things that people can't see if they can't
If they don't travel
Out of the comfort and safety of their own homes
On this particular day after a particularly
very chaotic
um
of a chaotic a chaotic day filled with
um
Question mark political intrigue question mark, uh
Uh question mark bandits question mark that turned into animals parentheses parentheses, uh double question marks at the end of that
um
It has been a very um
hectic week
And up and a part of the part of the both of you wish that you've embedded yourselves
even temporarily into the
Into the peaceful aspects of life where things just don't happen
uh
The both of you have the both of you definitely miss your sleepy days
On this particular day
Okay
Jean-claude and cecily as you are traveling on the lanairode
There's a swath of light gray clouds begin to roll over in the sky
Says it's a suggestion rather than a threat. Um, it's not a thunderstorm, but you think it's going to rain pretty soon
Rain is something that you do you two can definitely handle you two are the toughest people that you know
Um, yeah, yeah you you two are the toughest people in this wagon
I should say I would argue augustus
Um just a cat for now
But also he's got like 16 decks. I guess cats are fast
I would argue jj's the strongest jj
Jj is the strongest emotion. Yeah
Ah jj my stalwart steady rock
The suggestion then comes through manifesting in gentle patterns of rain
You have been following a river for a little bit now. Um
And you find that you find that the gentle patterns of rain dancing along the the surface of the river is quite a mystifying
Um, it's quite a mystifying dance
Yes
Two of you haven't seen uh haven't seen too many rivers in
Uh during the even tide
Um, you haven't been out too much during the rain
Too much during the rain it makes you sick
It's cold out there
It's by this it's by this point the two of you begin to seek shelter
Any kind of any sort that's when you are led to the gentle hamlet of old lucia
Um
Old lucia is a town is is a dusty and clockless town with humble uh with humble
cottages
uh
With with um mud packed roofs and and brick and wood houses
um
You find you find the house you find the houses to be uh quite inviting
Comforting you wish you were in there. However
And usually in these gentle hamlets, you don't find too many people who are uh, who run inns or
Who run accommodations for traveling people?
So maybe the maybe the hopes aren't there
It's at this it's at this point, however
You come across a um, you come across something that resembles a tavern
with inviting
Spark with inviting sparkling flames coming from the inside
um
A in called the sleepy sheep
Oh, yeah, this is cozy fantasy
The music is so like, uh, just it's scratching somewhere on my skull that makes me happy
Um the sleepy sheep in an inn here
Later what a wonderful prospect
um
Finding a place to
Uh park your wagons. There is a sort of it is a fairly large, uh, a fairly large, uh,
wooden brick in uh spanning uh spanning a good, uh, spanning a good distance if jean claude laid down
Uh, and we laid them down flat, uh, like 30 times
Uh across each other. He's like seven feet tall eight feet tall
35 feet 35 john claude's
It is a it is a it is a rather um large two-tiered uh building with a barn, uh with a barn like a stable in the back
um
My voice broke
I didn't even notice so tender back. Um, okay. Um
So
It's at this point, um
You uh after fighting safety for both of your horses marquis and reginald
Reginald
you
Park, uh, you park yourselves in front of the inn
And you do notice that the open close sign that is supposed to be hanging on the front
Has fallen off and lays at the foot of the door
I just pick it up
Um
I can't tell if they're opened or closed
But hopefully they're open because
It would be really really nice
I will take a peek into the door
Um you take a peek into the door and there is
There's an invite. There's the inviting flickering
Uh transparent orange of a flame
Um, it's so cold out and it's so tempting. No, no, no, we're going come on open the door
Astras in cecilia
We apologize. Yeah
In the sparky in the sparky cerebral flow of your even type thoughts
There comes there immediately comes a sense of wholeness of wholesome warmth warmth that enters you
Um as you as you see that there is a um
There is there's a there's an entire area with the suggestion of of dining tables
dining tables and chairs, uh
Your minds immediately your minds warp from yes. This is what an inn looks like. There's ta there's tables
Chairs, uh all kinds of things and then you go in and it takes a second for you to realize
Oh, um, some some of the tables are
Flipped on their side some of the some of the chairs seem to be like old
And decrepit like very noticeably
like some of their um
Some of their like legs are bent
um
But right by where a big inviting fireplace is where a a flame
Has grown and has been fed
Um where the where you see where you feel the flames leaping at you becoming a part of your blood
um
There is a
brown haired, uh woman with
disheveled a disheveled uneven hair, uh
There's one of her bangs is a long crest that sort of like kind of like goes down the side of her face
um
she is uh
She has heavy bags under her eyes and you see that she's holding a paintbrush at the moment
there's an on there's there's an unfinished job of her like cleaning the uh,
sort of like painting the walls in this sort of like
Um sort of like oceanic blue color as the two of you come in, uh
You see she just she just goes, huh?
And she clutches she clutches the pocket, uh, as she just kind of like she sat on top of a ladder at the highest rung
We were looking for somewhere to stay but pardon us
We thought we were open. Oh, sorry your um
Your your sign, uh kind of fell down out there and so I couldn't tell for sure. Yeah, that's
Probably the reason why?
um
You two of you came in
um
She looks she looks past you through the door to see that the the rain outside and how and how it's picking up
This place is an absolute mess
It has been uh
Neglected it seems for a good a good while. It's not that it's not like a hurricane came through
through here or anything. It's probably just
Age and weather and maybe some animals made their way through
um
Which uh, she uh, she just goes
Well, if you can um make your own accommodations i'll let you stay in here
Um, I can't promise that uh, you'll find a clean place here right now though. I'm still trying to tie the place together
Did something happen? It looked like you had great the bounty here. Maybe you could help. Oh, um
It goes, uh, the two of you travelers
Uh, yes
Um, I see
Uh, well, this is a little unfortunate
um
I have just taken in this
uh, I I had just taken in this
in from my
family I used to uh, I was down towards the the mandor coast and
I had heard that they um left this in to me
uh, but it's taken me a while before I
actually got here to
uh really clean the place up and get it going so
Uh, that's why everything's in the state as it is
Yeah
Uh
Well, if we uh, if you do not mind we could just clear off a little spot for us and uh, you know take a
Oh, oh, yes, uh, absolutely. Um, yes
We are very easy to to be come at right cicilia. I mean, I you should have seen where I used to sleep
I was uh, sleeping on a wagon for like, yeah
Oh goodness, you can't do that to yourself in this weather
Uh, yeah, no, no, no. Yes, please
Make yourself as comfortable as possible
That was a haunted house that was uh, what not really haunted but that was really traumatic nonetheless, so
Yeah
Um, and at this john claude is going to start on clicking his armor, you know, um taking off large metal pieces
And start rolling up
Um his undershirt, um so that he can uh, and actually his hair which is a mess
He needs to get it cut
He's gonna pull a piece of twine out and take it back and tie it up in a little man bun so that he can do
some cleaning
Um as you get yourself situated, um
She just goes oh by the way, my name is fran fan for dear
Oh should have given you our names
Mon uh, mon cher i'm so sorry. Uh, I am john claude boucheron captain of the groven guard
And this is my traveling compatriot and partner
My name is cicilia
Um, very worthy very worthy. Um very worthy people to meet indeed. Thank you so much for uh popping by and using this
Uh humble abode as your um as your boat for a bit
Um, you're really lucky you came here. I just patched the roof so no rain should be leaking through
Should
Um
It is it is it is quite dark I would I would think um
If you would be if this is a come up to you
Uh, would uh, perhaps the price of our lodgings we could do a bout of sorts. Oh, we could help you clean and
In exchange to stay here
Um
That would be a great help. Um, I can give you
Definitely, um a nights of free lodging and
Perhaps I could even pay you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we just need somewhere right cicilia. We just need
Somewhere to rest where there is no
People trying to overthrow a government of sorts would be great. What? Okay, so
Oh, I begin
He's gonna start turning over the tables
Over the tables
Oh some of them
Some of them look like they need to be repaired. Yeah, that's okay. You know something
This is what you do
I used to work actually in with cattle business. So let me handle this takes out his axe and just
Hacking off the broken links. We have to reform them cicilia. You have to my I was
I was planning to get new ones. Anyway, so
It is perfectly good wood. We can reuse it everyone. Come on now. We are we're not living in the in the palace. Come now
You know, my dad's a carpenter. Oh shit
Um, so I can
He taught me a lot I can definitely help
Help
Well, you could have told it to me before I started mutilating the leg of the table, but it is okay
I was trying to play. Um, it's okay. I'm glad you spoke up for yourself. Okay, so it's going to move away from the table
Um, my father was also a carpenter. He made those
chairs
Well, my father was a guy with cattle. So we're all in the business of wood. It seems that great
Coming ground
Um
I look at the
Looking at the chairs. Are they like
so you said some of them are like broken and things and old but like
Are they like just like normal chairs or like?
They have like any ornamentation on them or anything like that
Um very specifically they have carvings into them
um
Of a sleeping like a sort of like an entablature
Uh at the sort of like crown of the chair and they're in the middle is the depiction of a very cute sleeping sheep
Because so this was his business then
Mother ran the inn but father helped this was their um
This was sort of their mosaic if you understand what I mean
They look really nice you're are you keeping the the chairs at least
I mean, I don't think anyone could really sit on those. I'm
I mean
I guess I can learn how to
Make chairs
I mean, I don't think anyone could really sit on those. I'm
I mean
Guess I can learn how to make chairs, but
I think it's easy to just to just buy them
Probably I just think it's the carvings are really
cute for the
for the name
Yeah, that's kind of
That's the biggest loss for me
Loss
Oh if well i'm not going to use these chairs what?
Well, they're not they're not in sitting condition I think I will make it so
You can the little sheep will live once more
Um, I I would be very thankful. Are you sure you don't want payment or anything? Okay, so uh
No, I'm going to focus on this dude in fixing it because it is an important chair for your family
Okay, help if there is spare wood and whatnot i'm able to
Even I can magically mend them together you might still be able to see some of the
Faws where they were broken, but it only if you want I don't want to
Mess with them if you certainly certainly. Yes. Yes, um, that would be wonderful
Um, there's spare wood in the yard
Um, if you needed it, they're dry in a shed
um
Why don't I
Why don't I she she climbs on the ladder here i'll go and fix you up some warm drinks to fight the cold
Thank you all so much the two of you have been awfully uh, one wonderfully generous
She walks
It's a lot to just have a place to stay it's been kind of an exhausting week
Well, I hope just I hope the fire uh warms you to where you need to be
Maybe yeah, um make some uh tea or coffee
Um, I would love some tea, thank you. All right, uh, angie walks off uh behind the bar towards another area
At this john claude has been sitting in front of this chair
His arms crossed hand on his chin stroking his beard just inspecting it
Really taking in the chair
Do you think about it he runs his hands along the chair tell me cecilia has this chair
served its purpose
I
suppose if someone sat in it at some point it
has
Well, you know something I believe it has a life more to live because this little sheep
Right here is pointing to the logo
Little sheep's deserve
To have more time in the world. It is often that the little sheep's they get crushed under the society of the wolves
And it is time for the little sheep to come once more and he's going to one of the legs
Let his crooked rip it off and go. Oh fuck shit
Here wait, so yeah, wait, no, I have this hold on and you see he takes out the butt of his axe and
Tries to whack it back in but the nails are all askew and bent so it's not going back in
I
But yes, this is cecilia I i've been trying to be more assertive the past few days and um, good for you
I just
So I don't want to make it seem like you're doing a bad job or anything. Um, but
Maybe you can
Maybe
You can hold the pieces in place for me and I can try to
Mend it of course, you know, I understand you need a steady hand for this
So, of course you come to me. Absolutely. All right cecilia. Do not worry. I have this under control and he'll just
Firmly hold the pieces of the chair together
His muscles are actually straining. He's trying to hold them so still
Hold them so still
And you see a bead of sweat
Are you shaking it because of how hard you're holding it
It's just the strain of his muscles trying to hold it together
She she goes
um
Thank you claude. I knew I could um count on you. Um
Maybe
Maybe um, yes
You have a really good grip on it and I really appreciate that. Um, it's okay. I work out sometimes
Do you think maybe um, you could try holding it like it?
Like it's a sheep
Gently, and I think it might be more steady that way because I don't think you'll drop it gently like a sheep
If I were to hold the sheep and you see he starts to cradle the chair
I'm not really sure cecilia how this would help in fixing the chair, but I believe I would gently cradle the sheep
And uh, you know we spell how are you? You know, you could day are you enjoying the weather?
And normally the sheep would respond in its own way because I am very in touch with animals as you know
Uh, so I could hold it like this
And you see that this chair leg that's broken up is upside down in his arms
With the part that he ripped off laying on top of it
So his chin is resting on top of this flipped over chair
You know, um, I think um
I think she
I'm going to hold the um
The sheep and she she turns it to the right direction and lays it back in shang chuan's arms
Okay, and you know, I think we'll get the hang of this um the more we do
Yes, and she tries to um
Tries to make it so
She will mess with however she needs to to make it as clean of an attachment back
To the chair and trying to make sure it's even in things
um
But she will um ask while she's working she asks um
You said something about sheeps getting put down by society
Uh, yeah, I was being existential
Is that
Um, you can't tell me if it's too
Personal or something but is that something you um
Are feeling right now or
Not something I feel per se just something that I see
I see a lot of kind people get um
Mocked or belittled their kindness and it is seen as a weakness
Which I think is I think being kind to people is actually
You know one of the bravest things you can do
Is to be genuine kindness not flattery or you know manuals or whatnot
I don't know. I never went to school and read the books that
You are so rarely read as a med student
Um, but that is just something that you see in your secret own in your years
Do you see
Um
Well
Kind of not
I don't think exactly. Um
You know
Della um del mira
I mean she
She does a lot of good for a lot of people all the time and
I feel like she's pretty well
respected for that, you know, I don't feel like
People are actively
That I've seen try to put her down or anything like that, but
I feel like most people don't realize how
Well, I didn't even realize till doing all this
How hard what she does really?
is
Is
Yeah
Yeah, they don't really mention the how difficult it is to first get started out as an adventurer, huh?
Yeah, not really I guess most people don't really have like a blueprint like
Del mira
In their lives either
For that they just have to figure it out
Is she a blueprint
Everyone's party's different and at this point he's looking at the chair which you have mending right? Yes. I have the spell mending
Okay
Um, I assume she's
Did cecilia cast mending she did?
Yeah, she she was just getting like so like no nails would stick out or pull weird and trying to like salvage as much
Of it as she could
it before she um
She mended it together and trying to make sure the legs would be even too. Yes
So I would I would like to think that not only um are they even?
But they're actually a lot sturdier than before with her spell because she took the um took the time to reform it
um, and also
Correct me if i'm since this is new for us, right? Um, the the players are we're describing what happens
Yes, um, yeah, okay clean spirit is uh is uh
no, uh
narrator agnostic so there doesn't have to be a uh a person to facilitate everything i'm just gonna just leave
Yeah, i'm good
Get out
Uh, so
Yeah, but you said you would help keep track of the of the token motivation tokens for us
Yeah, did we get something to do?
Uh, well, I'll let you complete the scene first
Oh, we gotta put the same thing. But yeah, jenny and emma are taking the whole game for a whirl
Yeah, we're doing our best. We've got our pdf up and everything
Jenny took extensive notes. Um
They're mostly character notes for character ideas and things to talk about
So as he you know flips it, you know looks to see that their level flips the chair over
Gives a bit of a wobble. He'll go would you like to test it out?
All right, um
Hopefully, um, I didn't miss something
No, she'll
She sits down
And
She was
I think it's really nice with the um
The carvings
He did
Must have really liked the
the theme
And it is a cute theme
the
the sheep
Did your dad cover letty stuff and at this he's starting to move on? Um
Um
To I believe she had a paint can and was up on a ladder painting
um, and
Because he's a hot mess with the chairs and he realizes this he's going
Um to uh, I believe she was painting in light blue, right tim?
Um, so he's going to as he's asking cecilia
Uh, he's going to clamber up the small ladder that's there with the paint can and he wants to
Finish painting the wall so that it's all this nice, you know, like robin's egg light blue instead of you know, the yellowing
Um paper that's underneath
Um, and so yeah, but the question he asked as he was climbing up and grabbing the paint can was did your dad used to?
Like to what was what did your dad used to like to carve?
Um
my dad
he
Well, really he did everything for everyone in our village for the most part. I mean other
Plenty of other people were handy enough too, but my dad's the
He's the best
in my opinion
our house is really easy to spot because he always just liked to
Try out new things or experiment with
things in his free time
and so it's
It has a more unique
Look to it. That's why I told stellar. She just had to look for the weird house
If she went by
Um
But yeah
He um
Is being very careful around the subject of her dad, you know knowing how he has been unable to move and speak
these past few years
Um and cecilia had been tending to him
Uh, so he's gonna dip his paintbrush into the paint
Flick it up and not realize that if you flick it up paint splatters everywhere
so
So as he goes
Uh, did he make like in vip?
Shit and you see that
paint just
a flesh splatter of paint hits the wall that is yet to be done and is all over his face and down his um
Linen top and he is just going to pause with the brush in his hand
inhale
exhale and go
Did your father make any cool inventions and start to?
Try to paint in front of him
She laughed a little bit but didn't want him to notice
She
Um, i'll see if I can find you a rag or something and she goes to look what she taught
It is part of my aesthetic. I am a rocket de mountain man cecilia. I just don't want you to get it on the floor
Or if it's stuck on paint
But I think I think it's a nice color on you so that's good. Thank you. It matches my fur
Actually now I have paint in my fur
That sucks because now it's getting all matted. Uh, that's fine. I'm cleaning this one
I'm cleaning this one
But was your dad like a tinker girl? Did he like make inventions if you had such a cool house, you know
I would think you would make like really unique things
It was kind of more like his
Hobby and stuff our house a lot was his hobby. I'd say more than anything
um
He
I remember one time he spent like the whole
Whole days just working on
These cabinets in our house. He took out the old ones and
He was trying to make them
Fold in in a different way instead of opening them and but still trying to make it
take enough space and
I
I just remember that because
Delmyra was trying to cook at the same time while he was working
on that day and
he
His cabinets bent out weird and one fell down over the fire at one point
But it was fine. It got put out very quickly, but um
Jeongsad is laughing his ass off
And as he laughs because he is such a large man on top of this very small ladder
You see it starts to rock back and forth with him on the top
And he slams a hand into the wall to keep it from moving, but it's into the fresh paint
Are you okay?
I'm good. I'm really good, but your dad sounds like quite the fucking character
Would you say that uh and as he moves to brush a piece of hair on his face gets paint all on the side of his face
Into his hair
He's looking for the rag she
Would you say Cecilia
If you had to pick like did you have like a favorite room in the house
I mean if I had the dad who uh, you know made such like intricate designs
I feel like I'd have like a favorite spot
To look at dinghies out of as he's repainting over his hand
Then things let her just things up and goes fuck it and just goes painting on there's a pan print flat on on the wall
well
He did make
It wasn't anything like
fancy or anything, but
he
made a nice
a really nice bench that was
Fit right by my window really well so I could get the most
light throughout the day for
When I would read
and everything and
That's probably
My favorite
She takes the um takes the rag and tries to like see if she can get
soaked
in water a bit
and
Here um, will this help
at all, I mean
You know
It's fur I don't
Know how much will come out
It's okay. You know what it is the thought that counts and give me one second and as he
Reaches down with the one
Reaches down with one hand he has the paintbrush in the other as he's leaning down. He accidentally makes a broad stroke
Across the wall that is yet to be finished in his reach time to get it and goes
And he slaps the rag against the wall and tries to erase it with the rag
Sean Claude I just I just uh, I'm
I can't help
Yes, but I keep fucking everything up
It's nothing new
Yes, Cecilia hands her the paintbrush. I will um
I will uh
Organize something something little where I cannot uh
Break shit or whatever. No
You could do
You can do this. I think
I just
think
Maybe
Just focus on going in small sections instead
Like you when you are chewing a large piece of bread
You cannot also that it went into your mouth as I tend to do
You notice best to take a little noms and as you
Slowly chew you can taste a bit better and you know the aromas and I am really hungry
Well, um
You paint I went cook cook there's a kitchen here, right? I saw a kitchen. Did you see a kitchen?
Yeah, um, okay. Yeah, you take the paintbrush and he's gonna climb down
Okay
Cracks like a okay
I shall clean the kitchen up first. Do we have where's that? This is a little overwhelming, Cecilia
I'm not going to lie walking into this mess
But as you said with the painting we take one section at a time, you know one little section
And eventually we shall have a nice space to stay in and hopefully this woman whose
Story might be tragic because I assume her family is dead
I didn't want to ask her
That's what I thought she was implying. Yeah, I was so too scared to ask about it. Yeah
Kind of really hard to be like so, yo, I assumed they're dead
I didn't want to know how I didn't know how to know where I went not them
But I think she could use a little
It can't help to help with a little pickup
now and then
I bet um
It seems like she's been working on it for a while
um, it seems like she's been working really hard so
Um, I bet she would appreciate a meal, too
Yeah, do you cook a lot no, uh, this should be fun
As he pushes up his sleeves further that are now like doused in paint. Um at yes. Yes
Yes
um
It's
Okay, i'm trying to be more assertive she says once to herself again she is I just
If that's what you want to do, I think that's that's great just um
Is do you want to see that all the way through or
It's it's okay if you do decide you don't like the painting and things but
Maybe we should just focus on like one thing at a time
So that something actually can get done
You might have picked up cecilia that uh when things get hard
I do leave them instead of sitting them out and trying to fight through it. I give up
um
I should maybe follow through
Um, I should maybe follow through
I didn't mean to he's just awkwardly
You you know, you know when you fuck up real bad
Everything after that that you fuck up with
If it's like you're trying to swim
And every fuck up you're just getting further and further
Pushed under the water. Sorry apologies
I know you were almost drowned by the scalco when I first met you which was traumatic for you and me
um, but uh
Yeah, you know how do you know it feels like you're drowning with every little thing you fuck up and so you just leave it
Um
I
I haven't gotten that impression from you
I
Mean um
Even
Even since we found out about
The moon shards
I haven't gotten the impression that
Well, you would give up on all this either and actually to me
We haven't been doing the
The tokens
But yeah, I know um, i'm giving track
But i'm asking because this would tie into one of her personal goals
You're asking me specifically
Yeah, so i'm basically basically i'm asking you
Basically, i'm asking if I if I have enough to continue with this
Otherwise, i'll just make her back off and be like I can't say it now and then do the question
Uh the questions from jean claude and you offering a solution for uh,
To to jean claude in regards to the work being done
Uh will net you two motivation tokens
Cool. Yay
We got our two first tokens or cecilia did cecilia got
Excavated
Cool, um i'll leave it there just
She'll she'll back down from that for now. Um, that's what I think she'll go. I mean, um
I mean, I don't know
But
I think things have gotten really hard for us already a lot of times and
You haven't run away from that
so
I mean
Jaime being a werewolf
And
That would have been
Hard
We didn't leave that and
And stellar
was annoying you like crazy and
And it would have been really easy just to tell her she couldn't come but yeah, but you were with me
I was not alone. How could I leave when?
You were with me
Well, I
Well, i'm trying to help you here too, you know
Oh, no cecilia. Hey, listen listen and he'll you know, is she up on the ladder?
Um, yeah
He'll um, you know since he's i'm sue almost as tall as the ladder
You know rest his chin on one of the rungs with his hands on it and goes
listen
You have been such a great help to me
Just by being you
I'm just trying to say um
Maybe it felt like you were running away from things
um, but
I haven't seen that
Not in the time i've known you which I mean admittedly isn't very long but um, it's been really
Um a really scary week so
I think a lot of people would run away in that time
No
Not with the brilliant girls and the
Not with the brilliant girls such as yourself
I cannot leave you. I mean you could handle I mean you since you and his chin is still resting on the run
With the way that you sling your spurs or can't you don't need me
I'm just happy to enjoy the height but it has been rough hasn't it?
I think
It's been easier for not being alone
I think we're a lot braver when we're not alone
I think we're a lot braver when we have someone who believes in us
And with that with his paint covered hand he's gonna tap her shoulder
And then go beep beep beep and draw a smiley face
Now a twin's I wasn't going down alone with this paint I love with me
I don't have a lot of clothes packed but um, that's
Because uh, it gives you character and then just slowly like moves down the ladder
Okay, well enough I guess
Beautiful color scheme it works it works. Oh go ahead and say
You you have three motivation tokens. Yay, cecilia
Both of us
Yeah, we're doing a group pool
Oh, I have three too
I was just like yeah, jenny get those tokens
Yeah, she's just like i'm jenny you do everything where we're like
Very equally I feel to everything, you know, we are being a very nice partnership
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I thought I was from the beginning. I was referring to a group pool
Are very good. I'm like damn jenny's so good at this guys. I'm so the both of you are so good at this
What I was gonna say is for people who are curious with the clean spirit
Um, you know gaming experience we have to have group goals and personal goals
So that's what jenny was kind of bringing up earlier our group goals are things that cecilia and john clod can accomplish together
And the personal goals are a little bit more close to the heart. So
um
Am I allowed to share with the viewers? Can I do? Yeah, it's absolutely
So one of my personal goals that jenny knows about which was was find a moment to confess something, right?
Is that the one you were thinking of jenny?
Well, I was thinking of one of my personal goals and I decided to shy away from that because i'm
i'm like at least trying to like, um
I'm trying to embrace the mechanics of that of the game and see where that leads me
Um in terms of her emotional flow of everything like I felt compelled to fulfill one of her personal goals here
But we had two tokens and not three you're supposed to have three to use it
I was like well that makes a nice that works out because it makes a nice opportunity for me to
Say no, she's not ready for this yet actually and to move on the later is what I decided
It's so fascinating too motivation tokens are are gained in this
A scenario when a character asks another question as another character a moving question
Or if they help another character with one of their goals or they offer a solution to a problem or they deepen their shared history
Um, or if they get lost in thought that's the entire list
So i've been keeping track of uh every of of things that i've been talking about and
When they go from one thing to the next i'm keeping track of their motivation tokens, which they can then spend
on completing their goals
Yeah
And our group goals for the viewers are to reduce clutter
Um me and jenny talked about this before we played to find a book for both of them to read
Um to honor the loss of life and a life once known
So those are their three group goals
And we each have three personal goals. Um, but the game ends when you complete two
Of the group goals and two of the personal goals
so
Yeah, we got some goals to complete so we're gonna get those tokens
rack them up
I'm like i'm like, I don't know that we're necessarily um playing as like
Intended but I like I like how it leads the narrative even if we're not doing it like exactly how it says
or whatever I like how it leads, um to the
To the emotional flow of things and I was like no, I like I really like
how it makes
it makes sense and I really
And how it encourages like it pushes to
I like it might be like hard to tell of just watching but like from like my brain is like it is
pushing to like um
to
ask more and to
and to
learn more and
understand and I really I really like how that how it sets up how at least it for me like it's setting up my brain to like
Do that to do that. Well, even if we're not doing it like exactly
So dragmire draws asks so it's a game of goals and it's not only just a game of goals
It's ones that are like deeply attached to emotional
The emotional place of the characters
You know how the characters are dune like fears like it's very um
introspective and
Um, I would say this is more, you know, our this is definitely more rp heavy
Um rather than like oh, you know like that you have to you have to work for some of these things, you know
That being said
We have three tokens. We can't spend them yet though, right jenny. We should save them up. We can
we can complete
A personal goal or a group goal
and play out that scene
if we want or we
Can keep just role playing and acquiring more whatever makes makes sense
You know
Yeah, are we going to be able to do that?
Yeah, are we ready to spend them on a group goal yet? I mean maybe maybe take our time. What do you think?
Yeah, i'm cool with whatever
um
Though I do
I I do feel this might be a good time for let's do it one of cecilia's personal goals
Yes with how the conversation with the one should she um, i've been trying to help you. I don't know what your goals are
I'm keeping them hidden on purpose in this regard and I will tell you which one now if I've ever using the three
tokens for this scene
Yes, please is um
she was reluctant to say it before but I think with the conversation and
Response already one of them is one of her personal goals is to ensure claude will stay with her since she's been
fearful about that since
His original reason to stay was because of the moon shards
being
Elite on his niece and now he knows that the moon shards were
Manipulating him and that they might not actually be connected to his niece at all
So that's been a little bit of a fear of hers
I'm gonna cry jenny
I know that's why I wanted to keep it hidden
This is the kind of exciting game play you're fighting clean spirit
You happen to guide it in that direction already emma from the whole like the the running around and doing different things and not committing things
They actually lend it to that like perfectly so I was like, I guess this is what i'm doing
I guess this is the personal goal i'm fulfilling. Okay, let's play out this scene. This is gonna hurt. Okay, go for it
um
She does
um
She
Finally i'd say now
after
him
saying
very
forthright
Just now about um
How there's no reason for him to run away when she's there
Um, she was holding it back before she didn't want to ask because it is hard
But she asks now she is
Are you sure you still
Want to even
Do this I mean
There's no reason for you to anymore, right
The moon shards
They don't have
They're not connected to sylvie
Um
He slowly turns to look at her and says
I know
I just don't understand why
Why you would
You would still want to
Risk your life
If
You do you want me to leave no, I mean then why would I?
I just um
I thought the reason you were coming was to get answers about her
No
I will always look for my niece
But I have accepted that if I cannot find her she will always be here and he flashes a little bracelet on his wrist
Is that your holy symbol
Hmm
But in regards to your question cecilia i do and he's gonna stride up to her and cross his arms
I never leave a cadet behind
And I um
I was just really
Confused I kind of was thinking while we were traveling after we found out
The other night
Um
Thank you
No
No, thanks
No, no, no and he's starting to get he's starting to get upset. Did you?
I I know I'm a lot sometimes
Sometimes but did you think that I would just leave you behind cecilia?
It to do the dust to your body and no cecilia
I didn't think you would just leave me. I just thought maybe like you make sure I was doing okay, or maybe
And then maybe like
Wish me luck or something. I
I'm glad I'm glad you want to help me. I just would understand why you why you wouldn't want to is all
Well, you don't need to help on that because I want to help you
I think you are very intelligent
very strong young woman
Who could use a friend?
And I know I'm like a 30 something year old man, so I don't mean that in a creepy way, please
Please please please please all the gods above. I don't man in a real creepy way. Yeah, I just mean it in like a respectful platonic
Please please please please please please
I mean it
As I could use a friend too
If that makes sense yet again, this is very creepy for a 30 something year old man
I never knew that um
To make friends you just have to go out and um do incredibly dangerous things if I'd
Known that maybe I would have started a long time ago. Yeah, why didn't you grab the moonshine earlier?
I mean
Fuck me, Cecilia
Do you know how I know how I made most of my friends?
Actually, I only had very few through the band I used to have and drinking
That's kind of a rough way to build a friendship. Let me tell you
And you don't keep in well you have kirk kosh
Yeah, but even he lied to me about his name. I mean, I love that man like a brother, but what the fuck
He lied to you about
Who he was
It's okay. No, he has every right to lie. I just have to beat someone up for him
He has an alias and whatnot, but he's a good guy. He's a good guy
He's my friend, but it again came from a drinking buddy
Luckily that worked out but it's not really healthy to have substances in a relationship
No matter what it be either way. I thought we were friends. So fuck me, I guess
Fuck me, I guess
I
Well, i'm glad that
We can be friends who
Weren't in a band together and also weren't drinking buddies. Yeah. Oh my god the band cecilia the drummer
Ah, let me tell you when we broke up. Oh god. It was awful. It was catastrophic
Never join the band. It will always break up and there will always be different reasons for why it didn't work
Now that stellar's not here will you tell me no?
No, and as he's rolling up his sleeves and walking into the kitchen he goes and cecilia
You let me know when you are done with me
Okay
Actually, you know what? No. No, no, no, no. No if we are friends I get to stay as long as I want
Okay, and he goes back into the kitchen
All right
Personal goal and an additional motivation token
Yay, we get another one. So then we're back to so we're now we're back to one token because we used up three, right?
You make your way into the kitchen
um
because
Because france said she would make you hot drinks and it's been a hot while. Um, actually I got it
She oh, I got it. She says she would give you hot drinks, but she gave you a hot while
A hot check dang
Damn word smith
And this is why he's the narrator lady and non-baron nairnery folks
Babies and gentle thems babies and gentle thems. Oh, I love gentle thems
Um
You make your way into the kitchen and it's a um
It's certainly the it's certainly the best cleaned part of the best
Um like the cleanliest the cleanest part of the of what you've seen so far
It doesn't look this is the area she tended to first. Um
Where you would see like barrels of like, you know, just different um
sundries and ingredients and such happen
Uh, it's not like sort of barren and empty
uh now with just like um
Now with just like humble offerings of seemingly things she'd use to serve herself
Um while she fixes the place up
Uh currently on a sort of like a ceramic a ceramic stove with a fire underneath as a pot of um, is a pot of
water that is
Is is boiling um, and it's been reduced
Uh a good bit now, uh, like all the water's almost gone away
Almost gone away and you see Fran in a chair
Um leaning against the wall
She's fallen asleep
Oh
She's basically collapsed like tired
Oh, okay. Okay. Hold on. I'll turn off the stove because we don't need the fire
Um, and then he's gonna quickly poke his head out run back to Cecilia and go
Cecilia, do you see like a bedspread dust something somewhere?
Well Fran passed the fuck out and she'll have her neck if she sleeps like that
um
maybe
upstairs with the
If that's where the bedrooms were
That's an upstairs. I didn't even notice coming in
There's an upstairs
Two-tiered building. Yes. Good good good. You are so perceptive cecilia good for you
I have a good wisdom score. It makes my perception higher anyway
I know you're so right. This is why this is where we get along well, you need a 13
He goes I know this is why we're such a good pal you are so wise and I am so
Booksmelt and intelligent. It's why it works out well for us. Okay, so hold on
She looks upstairs
um looking upstairs is a little mini labyrinth of like
A hallway that leads to multiple multiple rooms
Um going to each one you definitely find whatever you um, definitely find whatever you're looking for
But these places seem to have been
Lived in for a bit
Uh, some of them with the assortment of different possessions
That might have belonged to an assortment of different people
um
But it's clear that these have been here since
Uh, these have been here aging with the place
So but you find what you're looking for yeah
She
She tries to decide if it's easier to
To bring her upstairs to like a bed or something or to bring like
Like he said something downstairs for her. She just will she'll bring something downstairs
to
Hopefully some triply sleep on at least the comfortable or
Like uh, did you find like there's like a palette fuzzy blankie anything up there?
um
There's a lot of stuff up there actually
Like tons of stuff. Oh, no. Oh more to clean. Uh
I um
Here I can
help
um
Yeah, let's say let's get a nice spot over here. And where's that picture? You had a picture, right tim of what it looks like? Yes one
moment, please
Oh, I found it
It's in the discord
Cord. Yes
um
So the kitchen
Let's see second floor. I want the first floor
Okay, it looks like there's a bar is there I believe there's a bar there yes
Um, so uncle goes, you know what the bell might be a good spot because you know if something
I don't know what could happen
But if I throw something accidentally whatever or what not paint splat. They'll should be protected by the walls of the bow
It is like a little
debarcated of sorts
That's um some good foresight. Um
Sure
I don't know. I also the smell of liquor is calling to me but focusing and he's going to go over to the bar
Um crawl, um underneath it to get behind it and just start picking up, you know
The tin cups there might be a few broken glass where that he's going to start picking up and he's just clearing the floor
um to make it uh more
Manageable for a palette, you know any old beer bottles or you know whiskey glasses that have been unclean
he's just gathering them towards the end of the bar so that he can take them to the kitchen to wash and uh,
You know getting that floral cleaned up so they can pull in the palette
So that she can take a snooze
So, um getting everything all nice and set
You you gently wake her, um
So she can move there. Uh, she oh
She awakes with a very soft stir
Looking up towards you. Her eyes are really heavy
Um, she there's a lot of energy in her like like forcing her eyes open
Oh, i'm
I'm so dreadfully. Sorry. I
No, no, no, I was going to ask you we have a little bed set for you. Um
Would you like to I?
I you look you look very very tired. I could either assist you over
Uh, madam, or you know, you're welcome to take yourself but uh behind the bar
We set up a little uh a little nook for you just to take a snooze
Rather than in the kitchen because i'm going to most assuredly accidentally burn something or you know
Uh, blip something up and I want you to be far away from the kitchen
You know, he's not going to
Burn something or blow something up
No, I was i'm going to help him
Ah
That is what friends do we help each other so madam if you could please step out of the kitchen
Um onto your lovely mat
uh
Please
Yes, of course, um
she
Uh, she stands, um, she stands but she uses the wall for a moment. She climbs to her feet
Um to you i've been
uh
Very accommodating in my own
uh place of accommodation
Um
How are you feeling have you been working a lot today?
Um, yes, the days have melted together
Um, it seems and
I've really just been toiling away at this as fast as I possibly can
Why
Is that time limit to reach
No
Um
It just feels like something I should have done a long time ago
You know
I know she walks out of the kitchen. She sees the the mended chair
The paint on the wall with one handprint on there
But you see she looks at that the handprint her eyes sort of like adjust widen at that
And she smiles a little bit
I like the personal touch
Yes, i'm quite the artist that was completely intentional
Extremely personal since it's you know his hand
Yes, and and and and and so much is communicated with the hand a greeting
Of self so that when people walk into their back into your fine establishment and see a hand put on their world
They know oh, it is a open palm, you know welcoming me in and and and uh,
Uh, you know
I feel I can't write in alms, you know hand to hand
Right
Yeah
She looks over to cecilia
The both of you
um
And she just goes to cecilia
Did you do one of those as well, I don't see any
Um
Do one of what the handprint?
Oh, um
No, I didn't but um
I could
You should i'd love that
To have something to remember to the two generous travelers who helped me
All right, it's nice to it's nice to paint the stories as you as you go
I don't know what i'm saying. Uh
Um, thank you just so much makes a handprint um, she's gonna go ahead and sit down on the um
She goes to the bedroll, but she starts like
But she's like she's like generally like looking like everywhere and
There's like
You know
She's happy um
The the the miasma that's that's plagued her for that bit kind of like broke through for a while as she sees the two of you
Working and cleaning the place up
Um the whiskey glasses and stuff that you put all the to the side junk lot it it really spruces up like the image of
the image of the place
Yeah, and the broken ones he'll find like a burlap bag to toss them in because
We can't have any people cutting their hands on glass
But the dirty glasses he's going to take into the kitchen to wash up so that they can start working on um dinner of sorts
or meal
Um
Uh, thank you again. I hope the two of you find some good rest. Um anywhere in here
Honestly, it's just nice to um
Have some problems that we can fix, you know tangibly it's it's nice to
Yeah
Anyway
Okay cleaning time and he goes into the kitchen with the glasses and starts cleaning up the glasses
Um and taking stock of what they can use
To cook with if there's anything to cook with just definitely
Whatever you need
Okay, Cecilia come
What do you want to make
Well
How about uh, and he looks outside what time is it how how like uh,
Yeah, it's getting to it's getting towards like
um like
Nine like shit
It's getting late
Nine pm. Yeah, like I was gonna say like between eight and nine. It could be early eight
And then it's getting dark. So yeah, we have to pick up the pace now. Um, let's do breakfast for dinner
All right
pancakes eggs bacon and he's uh opening, you know a fridge of sorts to see what's in there
Next to bacon. No bacon. Uh
um
eggs
Uh, nope, nope, no eggs. Okay. Let us look. Uh, I do have a little bit of flour. Okay flour wanting
Um, and he's just like scanning the cupboards
um
That looks like a bit of sugar sugar dip the finger in it salt salt. Okay. Nope
Okay, we have flour we have salt um
Um salty pancakes the savory pancake that could be good that could be good
Uh, let's just look down here and he's opening the cupboards below the sink
Yeah
Peeks up
We do have um our own supplies too
Do we have a lot of apples? Oh
We could make an apple fritter like the maple fritter assholes
I think that's a good idea
Yeah, get those apples out. Come on. You're my sous chef prepares the apples and he's digging beneath
Um, he picks out like one very moldy potato and goes
Just potential potential puts the potato aside
And um
No, yes, perhaps
I don't think it'll go with the apple fritters. Oh, you know what we could use for sugar cecilia
I know I know and he runs back to the bar being very quiet tiptoes around and grabs one of the bottles of simple
Syrup that he saw that is normally for cocktails and he sneaks back in
And it goes sugar perfect. We could use this for sugar
Uh, and then I saw a little bit of baking soda in the back and he picks it out takes it out
Okay. Okay. We're getting somewhere here. We're getting somewhere
I feel it coming into my mind the pancake filming the pancake with the apple pancake a pie not the pie too much work
Pie on top of pancake. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. No. Oh, wait, wait. I have another idea
because
Often in cleaning supplies
There was apple cider vinegar that you could use as a rising agent in the pancake. Hold on and he sprints
Off to where he saw a bunch of you know, pales and mops the corners digging through digging through
Um, and just starts opening these different jars and smelling each of them. Nope. Nope. That's straight up legal
Okay. All right. Hold on. Hold on
Nope. Nope. Nope. All right, and he is going through each looking for apple cider vinegar
I'm gonna cut up some apples and things
Um is john claude vegan chat asks
No, but I was inspired to make these from my vegan friend and they have so few ingredients, which is why
Because john claude is using the vegan recipe
Yeah, fun fact use apple cider vinegar to make pancakes without using it
Um, eventually he'll find one jar that has a little bit of apple cider vinegar at the bottom
And uh, he comes in with the jar
Uh and goes, you know, these are also very good for fruit flies
I have felt you put it in a little bowl and you put it out there for when they are flying around just to kill them
More than to run them to the bottom
Um
I see. Wow. Um, that's do you know a lot about a lot of things?
Around the home. Yeah
Um, have you made this before
Yeah
Wow, um, he's just quietly
Parseling out ingredients grabbing a bowl washing it out because a little dusty and he's just very methodically
moving
pieces you hear the clinking of
A metal forks and spoons as he's rifling through the drawer pulling some out
You're the captain so you should tell me what to do then
Oh the apple's coming sushi
I
How many do you need and she's already cut a few into slices
Let's see we have three people I eat for two. Let's make let's do five apples
Give us five servings
Uh, I wonder if we could use the simple syrup with the apples to make a reduction of cells
If only we had butter, but we do not okay for all the apples in here
With a bit of the apple cider vinegar. I'm going to go run. Nope. Actually. Nope. Not that
Pusses that over here. He gives her the simple syrup and goes i'm going to look at says some cinnamon
I saw like a uh that what like there was a cinnamon stick by the bow because I am sure they were making egg
Dog and he scoots back
Um goes like yet again try be very quiet
Going through like the dried times and dried herbs that one would normally use in a cocktail finds a cinnamon stick
Um runs back and goes
You take this
I'm gonna take this
You take this i'm used to being locked up, but I have not used it as a stick. So take the stick
Okay
Oh, she goes. I don't know if it tastes good with it
But um, I do have and she reaches into her bag of holding and pulls out the remaining chocolate
Whoa
What is that? Have you had this before here?
What she gives him a piece?
It looks like poop
Try it though
He'll take a corner you see his bovine nose, you know this big cowl man knows just
Throws it in
And he has a bit of like a heart attack
Oh, no, you see him you see him slowly slide down the wall
Oh his hand cluts to his chest as his eyes are just wide
D'amir I brought it back. Um, are you oh, are you okay? I um, you're not allergic
Why do I start
Um, it's called chocolate do you have more
This is all I have
D'amir I brought it. Um
I brought it home
From her last trip you see him all of a sudden stand up very quickly
And this eight foot tall hulking furlbug man is looking down at you menacingly and goes we need to secure more
Cecilia
I don't know. I don't remember when she got it but
Or where she got it, but
We're going to be traveling. I
I'm glad you like it
Bleach monopoly and then he goes back to you know whisking together things
He goes chop up that chocolate put that to the side. We'll use it as a sprinkle of salt. We shall be brilliant brilliant
Go ahead and say you're sitting in five motivation tokens right now. Oh, oh shit
Okay, so now we're at two technically for our next round we need one more
Okay, well well it's
Five and that's not counting the three we spent right?
Oh, so we have we have enough to this is your current pool. Oh cool. Okay. Okay. Great. Jenny. What do you want to spend it on?
Um, I
I mean I did I did one of mine we could do a group goal or we could do one of your personal goals
so one of the group goals was
Honoring the loss of life and life once known
I know that's pretty intense, but they've been talking a lot about your dad
And especially Jean Claude really wanted to talk about
the bench to read books on because
Sylvie loved reading
And that's something she would have liked as well
So if you want we can save that scene for later and I can do one of uh, you know
A different we could do a different one, but I just feel like that one might be fun to play out and touch upon
Yeah, I'm good with anything
With anything also, I love how in the system you check in with the player about like hey
You want to do this scene together because they're so emotionally intense like I feel like in dnd
Not that i'm shitting on anything, but it's very hard to be like hold on one second
Can we like are we good to do this scene like you just dive in?
So it's really nice just to check in and be like you go with this you go with this
Is yeah, Timmy just shows up and it is like hey, um now your girlfriend is fighting you i'm gonna push you off a cliff
Hey
Hey, it's me your your your backstory father. You know me i'm in danger
I'm in danger
You know me, uh help thanks. Thanks, babe. Bye. Thank you
Thank you
uh, so um
While cecilia is chopping up the apples, you know
I'm simmering them into you know, like the simple syrup and john claude is working on the dry ingredients
he goes um, uh
The you mentioned your dad made like a uh greeting bench for you
Mm-hmm
it
he knew I liked to sit by the window in the morning because
It was
Easier to see especially if it wasn't if the weather wasn't very like if it was too cold outside
so
He
He made it there so I wouldn't have to move the chair
Across the room every single time and it fit really nicely
You have a very good dad cecilia
I do
He's lucky to have you
That actually does seem
To strike something
Something and she closes up
A bit of that
um
And she just kind of keeps chopping
Something
Shit I know we're role playing one scene, but now i'm wanting to do one of my personal ones
Let's just move it then just move it. Yeah, i'm kind of i'm cool with that. Uh, he'll say, um
You know, um
I uh, I wanted to be a dad
Oh, yeah
Yeah, um, I was really jealous of my brother
Uh, he just found someone who
You wanted to share life with
I didn't
So you're talking like it's too late
I
I don't think
Being an adventurer and uh
A family man go hand in hand as you've mentioned with your sister settling down with her, you know boyfriend that
The road not a great place for kids
um
So I I really appreciate you sharing this piece earlier
Of your dad
I like to uh, I like to
Hear um, you know
Positive ways that uh
Father else that's the lives of their kids because we have so many tragic ones, you know so many
You know
Um people have it above
I'm
You don't have to adventure for the rest of your life
Couldn't you after everything still settle down and
And have a family if you wanted
I couldn't even
Save my niece
Why should I
Have the ultimate joy and honor and pleasure of being my dad if I cannot do that one thing
Did I make him cry
Oh, I'm sorry, it's okay
If um
When someone or something sets out
To hurt someone innocent
Is it the fall of the people who love that person that that happened
Ouch Jenny
Fuck
Because I don't think so
No, but the pain that you feel
The pain that you feel
I can barely handle losing a niece. How would I handle losing a child?
I think
There's a difference between
Um grief and guilt
And I think you know, it's not your fault
You wouldn't think anyone else in your position you wouldn't think it was their fault
But it doesn't make it
Any less
Painful
But
I don't know should just
Should the grief you feel over it and the fear of feeling that again
Stop you from all the happiness you could have
If you just
Went for what you wanted
Is that worth it you definitely see um
Whereas before he his hands were still on the counter and he was listening to you
He started picking up again and he started whisking things and his hands are moving as he's grabbing glasses putting them on
glasses putting them down
Checking the oil in the pan checking the burner as he starts to
As he shuts down but in a different way
Where he's trying to use the movement of objects?
As he says, um
Well, if I have a daughter like you cecilia, then it would be worth it
It and goes back to pouring the batter into the griddle
I bet um
I bet when we're done with all of this
You'll find someone else who needs you too
Fucking ouch jenny
I'm so fucking happy with the fucking things today, man
Fucking who do you think you are?
Jenny who the hell do you think you are on this stream in this in this environment?
Jenny charade everyone she's someone you would be you should be overjoyed and terrified to play with this woman
No, you anyways
I am
Absolutely blessed to have two amazing great a fantastic players playing this no you
This is too heavy
Because I can't I can't take it anymore it's too heavy
We are cleaning we're cleaning
It is it's cleaning the spirit um with that um with that I need to go dry my eyes, um
Let's take this moment to take a break 10 minutes this time into the usual 15
Um, can I add the the one?
The one bit she was going to add just it's so minor, but she just like i'll say she
she keeps chopping things up and
um for for the for the chocolate pieces into little bits and waits for a second and
When she doesn't like, you know hear an immediate response and she goes
and
I think when they do
When they do
You should help them too
And that's it that's all I wanted to add
And with that we're going on break i'm going to take a shot
See you in 10 minutes everyone we'll be back
Hello everyone and welcome back
To uh, finally stopped crying so we can return took a bit that that I had to
Oh boy, uh, fuck me clean spirit
Oh cassie cassie cassie
Cassie what have you done? What have you done to us?
We would not be having these conversations right now if we didn't decide to play this
But it's really nice if you as a dm or you know any game you're running you need a moment where characters have to talk about shit like you they need to have some like emotional
Throw this at them do it. I dare you. I love whether you wanted to or not
These moments of affirmation and opening up to each other it's
It's what makes people closer
uh
Jean Claude and cecilia
I can't wait for jt to go back and catch up on this later. You know when he's not watching football
Presumably i'm presuming and and to be like what the fuck guys
He's like i'm done
All right what that said
Why don't we go ahead and pick up where we left off within the kitchen of the sleepy sheep
sleepy sheep maybe
As we're finishing up
everything
I feel like their pancakes are coming to a close
With chocolate sprinkles that aren't actual sprinkles they're pieces of chopped chocolate so they will will melt but it'll be
Delicious, I imagine
Yeah, you've got like some uh, some um sliced apples that have been like, you know soaked and like, you know
And uh baked in sugar a little bit. So you've got those on the side
With these like flapjacks. So actually it's pretty pretty interesting a pretty interesting. Is it the greatest? No
But I think they did they did good for what they have
Yeah
And
And eat
Just
Try them or I used to I used to whenever we'd go to eat in the freaking in our other game
I just always just do this randomly and to me just lose it. I would just be like, yep
Or I had a pencil. I think I used to have in my old booth and I would just
a couple times
And we and we consume
The pancakes like half half gestures
Gentle gestures, but I would assume that we do it at the finish the chair that cecilia fixed the chairs that cecilia fixed
Um, yeah, i'll flip over a table
Make a little little less rickety put like a you know, uh, um a book or something underneath one of the legs
So it's more stable so they can eat their their their whatever concoction. This is
uh at the table
And actually since he used a book to put it under the table
He'll look back to where there's just like a pile of books in the corner and a bookshelf that has its shelves that have fallen through
And he'll point with his fork
And look at cecilia and go
I have a feeling we could we could fix that. Yeah, or maybe take some more books for the bag
Um
Yeah, I think it'd be nice to fix
Fix it up. It's easy to organize them, too
Do you have any books that you want to get rid of in the bag maybe add it
Do they also have a donation?
Yeah, i'm sure I can spare some
I haven't gotten a chance to read these but some of them are just kind of
dated
She pulls
Some out, but I also don't want to leave the worst ones either. Um, oh I have I do have
I forgot I have other books. Um
She'll take um
The ruby spindle
The classic no she takes she takes the ruby spindle book she has um
Um, I remembered I sent this with dalmira to read. Um last time she went adventuring
but um
she kind of checks just
I can get her bookmark still on chapter three. So I guess she ran out of time
Oh, maybe not this one then if she's still reading it
I think it's okay
Yeah, uh couple okay
Um, and he'll take the book and um walk over
And he goes, uh
You are the wood calvis doctor. Why don't you work on fixing the shelves?
I'll start stacking and fixing up these books and making the book ranging them into different genres and whatnot
Okay
Um, and she
Will work on
On the bookshelf
Yeah, you know when stand up right
You know when you have in a bookshelf like it's my least favorite fucking thing
Where one like the for some reason the shelf that lies like this is like a skewed or something at once
Yeah, like one side keeps
falling
One side keeps falling down and you have to find ways to you know push it
I mean, it is so fucking annoying. That's what is happening to this bookshelf for sure
That's why all the books fell on the floor. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. I know I know it's painful. It's painful
That's what I leave you with Jenny that's what I leave you with
Timmy is unhappy
Mrs, please
Um, she
Yeah, she
Is working on it and
Just fiddling around with it trying to get the shelves even again and she
She asks
um
You and hymen were talking about some books weren't you
I don't remember what were what kind of books do you like to read?
Uh, I like to uh read books that um really focus on um
Uh, uh, you know
The the the tropes of uh, you know coming of age
Um, i'm very
I'm very, um more so interested though in like interpersonal relationships
In books, uh, you know how people uh why people come together or how they work how they do not work
You know, it's important for me as a captain
Uh to see
How these uh, how these people function together, you know
I come across so many people in my travels that I should I should uh, you know be more aware of such things
so those are the books that we discuss like
like different like
mysteries and uh
Yeah
That's what I like exactly. Yeah. Okay, so let's me uh
He is like trying very hard
To not say he loves reading ya romance novels
Um, he goes yeah a little bit of mystery a little bit where they won't they is always the question, you know, um
Absolutely
Won't they like um
Catch the murderer yeah, what do you like to read?
Well, uh medical books that cannot be that is more of your career not uh passion
Well, I just I kind of would read whatever
We
found
ever in town
I read every book anyone
owned basically
in the village because
We didn't have a ton
To be honest, like there's no library there
um
But I like everything basically
I mean I I read
Delmira brought me a lot of um
medical books whenever she saw them because she knew that was
the best way for me to learn outside of um studying with the
High prioress of the temple
um, but hers were more
about divine healing and some practical but not much about um
Discoveries being made and things like that or specific diseases and stuff. That's what I was learning from the books
But I like
Ruby spindle
Uh Delmira brought it back one day. She said it was really
really
Popular that they had a lot of copies at the libraries
it's about this
Adventurer girl named ruby i'm trying to remember because this is a book that's come up in a game before and it's been so long
I'm trying to remember the exact plot but it's been over two years. Yes
Oh Jesus and he brought it up in black guards gallery today too. Didn't you? Yeah, I did brooke was reading
Okay, that's why I brought it up again. Yeah
um
but
It's about an adventurer named ruby and she has this
Well, you're talking about the interpersonal relationships and things too and that made me think of it but
There's she has this
companion and he's like this kind of trickster
guy at first but then he
turns more um
Well, he he was going to trick her originally
At the beginning of the story when she was going off on her adventure, but then
um
He starts to actually like her and so then he's like all torn and stuff and oh
But I
I haven't read the seventh book yet. I have up to six
And then she couldn't find number seven
so I had to skip to number eight and i'm very confused about what happened because
They went to the Feywild in one of them and oh no, fuck that Feywild. They they are fucking liars in the Feywild
Let me tell you and I never found out how they got back but now he's like
Been a lot darker in this book and I just really want them to go back to the friendship. They had to be honest
Yeah, well the Feywild is a fucked up place. So I get why he's early
Did let me ask you how is the Feywild described in this book?
well
Well, it's like it was kind of like a cliffhanger at the end of the book
And I didn't get to read the book that focused on the Feywild part. So I don't really know that much about it
You know because everyone says, you know, it's so beautiful and it's so you know, it's a it is so lovely
And you know the trees are so green there
Me better he burps
meanwhile
It is a fucked up sick distorted. I was sucking on smoke
Yeah, whatever and he goes back to the like goes I had me from the beginning but as soon as you said
Please I knew I would be fucked
Yeah, I think
I think I heard that the
They're supposed to get up to um
11 books soon, so they are very successful
Oh
They're not very long though
Maybe I'll give the first when I go I don't know
CLE is it's a lot to dedicate my time to
But what about this one Cecilia? Okay, it is called uh, Sinfully Sweet. You see him pick up this little
Little little black book
Um
He
This is gonna be a part of my world
Um, let me just read a passage from this uh, weird slip
Weird slip from my lips forming into his name
over and over again
And he leans down bending my body to his will and claims my man
No, no
No, who the fuck put that in this library, what are you doing keep reading?
She is a child
Oh aps are you okay? That sounds like a book you'd like, you know, uh since you're very sinful
Oh, this is not the same
I'm not sinful. I'm just
Just
I'm more than angels. I'm above all of them. I'll give him the book
Oh, a spectral hand he goes and then a spectral hand kind of comes out and grabs the book. Oh, Jesus
Wow, you really can do magic, huh?
Do not read that book the trick I picked up all by myself
That's really good work that must make that's gonna make things a lot easier for you
You know also forgive me I noticed something
I noticed we're not in the salarian empire inside of the building where we're supposed to be
With all due respect high lord aps. Um
You're the one who talked to us first this time
The hand picks him up and he shrieks into the book
The book the hand has come up again and just grabs the book
And brings it into the bag uh, oh god, you know don't go into the bag for a long time cecilia just close it close it close it
Her body was
Okay, well that was traumatic all right, so
Is there a book like those kinds of books
I would but like
I don't like an affair like really drag something out. I'm kind of like to the point, you know
Like oh I said 11 books. That is a lot
Yeah
It is kind of excessive but then you start reading them and then you're just like oh well
I can just read the next one and then there's a lot of them
He takes the red spindle and flips it over in his hand
But but the guy he starts out like a joke still yes like
And then he comes to have
feelings for her
Well
They don't he doesn't actually admit it until the fourth book
Um, but he does eventually admit it
Well, not to her the first time we see it happen in the text he actually
Accidentally says it to her mouse familiar
Shut up
Yeah, but the mouse can't talk
Even though he is conscious of human speech. He can't actually speak the human speech
So he's not able to tell her
And so she just misinterprets all the signals. Oh my god for that
The mouse has to live with this belt in of these two lovers who are miscommunicating
Shit, yeah, okay. This is I I don't and they haven't even found the spindle yet
So you see Jean Claude slowly pulls the because what is there another book to give away because I want I want to read this one
Oh, um
Yeah, I can find it
Yeah, I can find another book
um
And she
Looks through the bag for
um, she'll look for
Some through some of the medical books that she doesn't think she'll be that interested in
Wait, but Cecilia, I don't want to read all the extra lola and stuff
So would you be able to help me like skip over? Do you know what to skip over like?
Yeah, I don't know
I don't know if I will maybe when you
Start reading though
You might not feel like you want to skip it anymore because it's actually pretty fast paced. They have lots of adventures and stuff
together and
They're actually really fun in my opinion
Does the author have another series?
Um, she does
Yeah, what is it? I forget grand verdant. Um, it's it is a series. It's basically the ruby spindle but
gender flipped
Yes, hold on. He's looking he goes. What do you think she it would be here. He looks at this pile of books
Um
Well, we can look
Did it come out when did it come out was it recent was it after I prefer
I think it was before the ruby spindle really got popular
So she written the ruby spindle and then she started the second book
But then she started working on this one instead, but then the ruby spindle got really popular
So she finished the second book after she published
Uh verdant wheel
Okay
Yeah
Take ruby spindle and he handed to her and he's digging through the books looking for was it verdant wheel?
Is that the other one the grand verdant the grand verdant? I don't know where I got wheel from
Grand verdant, uh, and
He you know, you see him just flipping constantly looking at the different findings some of them in different languages. He doesn't even understand
um
He looks up and goes which is in common. Uh
Um, yeah
Okay, i'll say you do find uh, do the thing there is a crossover book between the both of them. Uh
One it's called a court of green and red
Shut the fuck up
He goes oh fuck a court of green and red, you know, there is a very very
Very popular fandom around this book that they are, you know, some of them are really cool and others are really scary
isn't that
written by the same author as
a throne of window panes
Yes. Yes, it is. It's same as a throne of window panes
And I believe she came out with another series that is um
Uh said the house of the sam thing house of the house of the great blue sky
She I think she's an elvish woman loves elves all about elves
Yep, or maybe she just really really likes elves
Oh
Like a fetish or something
No, no, well, I don't know me. It's just I never her name never struck me as elvish
Oh, no, I thought it would be like uh, wait
No, I thought she was an elvish woman writing about you know, it might be
What if she's not though?
He goes, you know what we have to read it cecilia
Because it's such it's got a cult following at least we should know what it is about
All right
Which book are you reading first a court of red and green
Um, you read the first you read the first chapter
This is good
You know what so the cult of red and green get this it's about this young woman
Who is a hunter?
She provides for her family and she has to go
And she has to go on a trip by herself
To cross into a world she has never been to who does that sound like cecilia?
um
Kind of sounds like this other book I read
Tosses the book to her catch it with 13 books
Um, she doesn't catch it. Um, okay. Oh
Now there's a cult of red and green is there the secret cult of blue and gray?
I have the books on my shelves. I'm looking at the colors right now
I
That would make sense
Um, does it?
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they just did all the colors
I'm i'm kind of scared to enter into this fandom cecilia. I'm not going to lie
Does this count as find a book they both like to respend their tokens here to me? Yeah. Um, you know what i'll go ahead
Uh
You know what this is this is that um, definitely you guys have three tokens left now
Oh snap so we have three left so we can we can win the game, right?
We can win dnd
I think there's one more group goal and one more personal goal. We have to achieve but first of all
Before we do that, we did both of our personal goals. Oh both of them. I got one group goal. So before we do that
Give me why don't you give me a d6 roll?
Oh shit, that's right. Jenny you do it
Okay, i'll do it you do it
Something catastrophic has to happen. I rolled a three my lucky number you want a three
Yeah
um, so for everyone when you commit a group goal, um, the first one a
challenging event occurs
Um, I forgot which table we were using. Why did we I think we did they come in they come in multiple, uh, they come in multiple
Uh different sort of um tables the the hardest one impossible events short of three
Uh, we're not doing that though. Uh, i'm doing that one the destructive collapse. Was it a storm?
Oh my god, construction or sabotage what areas are how much damage is done? No
The gentle rain breaks through
Not for a cozy rpg
You guys been cozy long enough
Yeah, pick whichever number three one is the coolest to me do that. All right, I can't definitely can't do the challenging one
Um the second he says she loves the impossible table
Oh, yeah, I want to play a game. I want to play this again
But with like but with the characters made up for the game and do it on the impossible one and just
We don't have like the framework of our game already so that we can just see what happens fully
I think that'd be a lot of fun. I want to do the impossible one so bad. Um
but we are in a we are in a
Relatively nice and we're trying to be nice to them right now
Now whatever until our sniper guy after us comes back. I swear
There's a sniper
A bullet ricochets through your body
Emma can you roll me these six as well? Yeah
Two impossible ones at the same time. There we go five five
Five
Okay
so
uh
You know those movies like shark or hurricane shark danado shark nato
And those are the movies that like they like combine like two natural disasters like like a earth cane
I would love to do that one one day. I just get two rolls. I just throw a fucking a
Whale nami or you or something
Um
But today i'm not gonna do that
So
um rested above the fireplace
is a um
It's something akin to almost like a house sigil
but it's not a um
It's bit it's an embla it's a sort of like uh an emblazoned symbol of a sheep with its head held up high
and and proud
um made uh, um
It's it's it's made out of carved wood like before but this wood is very nice. Um ebony oak
um
It should be very
Um, it should be very sturdy. But of course age has taken uh age has not been kind to it as age
Has not kind to most things except elves. Um
We have an author with the elf fetish now, no
I gave you a motivation token for the elf fetish thing. I can't believe it
Um, as you all are as two of you as two of you talk and
um, I would say um, just like in the general area next standing next to the bonfire, um
There will come a point
When something happens
Uh
Number five says it was an accident, right?
But someone broke something irreplaceable and priceless. Oh, who did the breaking?
Who did it belong to?
Um
Well
the
Idea I
Might have for that is um
So she's finishing up
the bookshelf and they've got the books
Mostly organized and when she goes to try to put the bookshelf up against
A while she and they've started organizing the books
onto it with the books they've added to the collection
Um, there's not enough room for all the books which might be part of why the bookshelf was in such disrepair anyways
Because she realizes they were probably stacking them too heavy on the really old books
on the really old bookshelf and so um
Maybe she goes and gets the ladder again and sees like, you know the shelf
Below that piece that you said was up there, right? The sheep
um
and will and says um
Maybe we can put the rest of the books
Up here and she is a trait that has not come out a lot in the game, but she is
Is very clumsy is something that is negative dexterity score
and she um
she may i'm thinking when she goes and tries to
Maybe overestimate because she is very strong overestimating her ability to move the ladder and carry the books at the same time
trips and
Hits the ladder into the wall and knocks knocks it straight down
Oh, it shatters does it shatters like a piece like break up into chompers? Shatters into three pieces three fuck, okay?
Oh boy
Hey, it's okay. It's okay. Hey
Mystics happen
And you can you have a spell you have magic
uh-huh, um
She looks over. She's to see if a Fran woke up. Um, does anything happen? What's the no?
No, nope. Nope. She's rest you see she's getting up
uh
I go I go I sit in front of her. I say with my big body blocking her
I go miss fun. Um
I did not mean to pry but uh
You know why and he's leaning down on the bar so that he can further
Shield her view giving cecilia time to fix it
She goes to pick up the pieces. Is it easy to tell which pieces go where or is it?
Is it turning into a fucking puzzle game?
Yeah, so she's rushing when she might put it together wrong
Ah
Um
Um, yeah, you're leading and you're distracting her. Um
Go ahead
That she she's trying to fit but she just feels bad. She feels like they're lying. She was
um
This um fell
Fell down. Can you tell me how it's supposed to go so I can fix it?
It she leans over uh to the side of john clod so you know
Tell me you've been in the business of her head
Did did cecilia ask me something?
She might have
Okay, uh and she's gonna move around the bar
It's too late cecilia already asked a letter
She just felt too bad as she sees she guess
What what happened
Um
The ladder fell and um, it got knocked
Off um
Oh skies she walks over to it, um
Just um methodical steps as she's getting closer and observing
What you've done?
Um the accident
Um the unfortunate accident that happened
And she gets down to her knees
Um
As she just kind of like places her hands out and begins to gently prod the pieces together
Uh, but of course there's the fissure in between there's no fixing that unless you have some really good glue
Um, she can mend right use the magic to mandate
I can mend it together again
Um
Maybe
This is a sign
Of a sign of why?
She just sits on the floor looking at the at the the former mantelpiece
Uh, as she just goes
Um, maybe I wasn't the one that was meant to take care of this place in the first place
Um, I mean it was going to happen anyway, don't you don't have to feel guilty about it, I think
I'm pretty clumsy myself
I don't know if that's what it means
I think um
A lot of families like these pieces
Uh can be broken
In many different ways
And it's up to you
And he kneels down next to her, uh
Whether you let them stay shut out and move on to fold your own piece
We'll see it for what it is and maybe and he flips one of the pieces around
You can make something
And he flips one of the pieces around you can make something new
I
I like that idea
But I just feel like this place isn't really mine to begin with why
That's um, quite a story
I wouldn't want to put that on any of you. You're just
We've had a lot of heart to hearts today. You might as well get it out
Well, I missed I've missed a lot. Yeah, it's a good thing you were asleep, but now it's your turn
All right
well
Just
Well, jean claude
Cecilia
She looks down at the pieces and she just goes
I haven't been with my family for a very long time
Um, they were here and old lucia while I was
While I was when I was really young I went out and tried to strike out my own future at the coast
And of course
you
Of course, that's the
the young pioneering spirit of someone who has something to prove
Um
But you know, I've read she looks at the bookshelf
lots of stories about
people going out and
finding love and
taking a risk
because
They could have all gone out and found nothing but
They all found something and I guess I colored my few points a little
My family loved me my parents
They wrote to me they
They
Every day, um every week
Asking me how i'm doing and wanting to keep an eye out of me and I
I lied
When I was in doing when I was doing horrible when I was
Scrapping eating scraps on the street and trying to find my way through I was telling you that I was all right
They could have helped me
I could have come back and
Did something for them help them with the inn
They never pressured me to anything
Grandpa needed help
he was
Laying his laying in bed for the last few years of his life
I could have done something but I oh I just thinking I needed to prove something to myself
Uh, I couldn't come back empty-handed or I'd be a failure
That's when
Um, everyone just started getting really sick
Um something about Bullywux
Um
I wasn't around when it all happened
I didn't see anything. I didn't see my parents hairs grow gray or anything like that
I was just so stubborn and trying to prove myself
I mean I kept to it. I found someone I loved I
But now i'm here
I'm missing people that i've almost never spent my time with taking care of something
That they've taken care of I don't have a right to it
I think
Why would you not
Look around
This is so many years of
care and
Work that my family has put together and I have done nothing. I have contributed nothing to it
And now i'm supposed to be the one to take care of it and own it
Why not do you want to
I feel like I have to
Mm-hmm. I didn't ask you if you had to ask you do you want to?
This isn't the only way you can honor them
If not
Because I can really tell that they loved this place but
It also sounds like
They really loved you I think they might have loved you more
But I barely visited so
I didn't love them back as much
Yes, you did
You're you're you're my my dear friend and he'll lean down
Um, you are in so much pain right now
Do you know what is at the root of all of that?
Love
That's why it hurts so bad
If you did not love them with all your heart
I do not think you would be in this much health
And I do not think they would be happy to see you so upset
And to feel that this is a prison
So I ask you again, do you want
To be here of course, I want to be here
I want I wanted to be here earlier
I wanted to be here years ago months ago
I wanted to the problem was I never was here
I wanted to show them that I love them in the best way possible and now the opportunity's gone
It's all gone. I'm just here with
With the memories of them and the things I wish I did with them
Hey, I think it's um
It's hard loving someone from afar
But just because they're far away doesn't diminish the love that you have
And I think it's a good thing
But just because they're far away doesn't diminish the love that you have for them
And I think they know that I think they knew that
Oh guys
Guys grief at the end of the day, I guess it's just
Um grief is just love with no place to go
Can can you fix this
Yes, I think so
Let's make sure I put back the pieces, right
This goes here and
You see this is where our name is so these two go together
And
She assembles it
They're still with you, you know
Yeah, and I don't mean that in a godly way sorry cecilia
Yeah, I mean that they are with you at the end of the day we are stories
Let us hope that we are in the hands of people who love us
Yes, I like that yes, so make sure to tell them
Put your hand put on that wall
Share the love that come from your family share it let people know
They are stories that are in your heart
That should be shelled and that is how they will live on
With you he pats her head
Um
Yeah
They live on through me
I guess
Wow, this place really needs some cleaning up, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, you've got a lot. Um
I'm not gonna lie
Uh, we were we tried but you really gotta
You gotta get some people in here, you know
Yeah, i'm sorry. I feel like um, we kind of got
Distracted a lot looking at like half the paint job and only like a few chairs fixed in a bookshelf
The bookshelf that is a big thing that is a big move in the right direction
That's when we finished I think that is when we definitely finished
Yes, she places her hand in the paint can and just right onto the wall
There we go
All right
Um
Well, thank you to the both of you we got bits sorry, um
Um, what what does that mean? I don't even know what that means. We got bits. Well, thank you
Yeah, we're like we're like yay. What?
first bits of our life
We don't know what that means, but we'll take it a hundred of them. We're gonna go far. That's gonna go far
Um so much, um, I think um
Cecilia you know, um
I think
It's getting pretty late, um, maybe we should go upstairs and find a place to
To rest
Um, yeah, and yes, and can I
Take this book. Can we take this book? This quickly sides up a cord of red and green. Can we take this book?
That's all I want. Oh, I have multiple copies. Yes. Okay. Good. Okay. Okay. Thank you cecilia continue
And I think um out of character we have the three um tokens left
Use them up
While we honored one of our group goals, um, but like we're honoring the loss of life of
Fran
I think maybe
Once we separate away from her if you want
maybe
We should tackle that one
Who yes personally, yes, I agree. Let's do it. Jenny. Let's do it. Fuck me up. Let's go
Um, so going upstairs with
With the um
All the clutter and everything and clearing out a space that's good enough to
To rest in for the night in one of the rooms
I'd say um
Cecilia goes um
You know, um
Maybe we can do something to
Let your niece know and
Maybe my father
Thinks that we're
Thinking of them
Even though we have to be far away
I think if you
Want she was like suddenly like is like maybe that's too much he goes I think that is um
Is a beautiful way to put it cecilia
Um
Until uh look in his bag and go oh shit, I gave stella on my tinder box. Otherwise i'd light a candle
Fuck no, it's heimei. Heimei stella has my drum. Oh boy. Oh, that's okay. She can keep that
I don't have a tinder box to light a candle
I can make
A light but it's not a fire
That's probably for the best. Honestly, we don't know what ingredients are in this room
Yeah
Instead of lighting a candle she casts light on a candle
Yes, this is kitty safe junk lid safe
Um, he'll go do you have something of your dad's that you want to you know
Do you have um
She
I think
I gotta think about
Do I want to bring it that direction or not yet
She
She'll look um, she doesn't have
Anything specifically of her
Her father's in her bag, but she does have um
The nightcap from her sister del mira and
She does have um
The
Oh, I guess this would be she has the holy symbol that was her mother's but the holy symbol specifically was
Carved by her father. So actually she does have that
And she
She places both of those things
Um
I know it um
I've never told anyone this
And I don't regret well
I don't mind taking care of him
My father
But
I don't I don't know if i'm
I don't
I don't know if i'm
And she is struggling really hard with this um, she is
I don't know if i'm ready to
Acknowledge the loss of him of the two years he's lost those he's already lost but more than that
I'm
Not sure if
I need to move on from him entirely
Entirely
I
I'm really worried that
I haven't even told del mira this I've been keeping him alive for two years
And he can't even tell me if he wants to be here
I don't know if it's the right thing
To do
If there is one thing
I have seen in examples of
Love
Good seems like such a simple world of a loving parent
What they want more than anything in the world
Is for their children to be happy
More than anything
And given what your dad has told you've told me about your dad building you a bench so that you can sit by the window and look out into the world
To know you have finally left the bench and are exploring it on your own
Are you happy
I'm not sure yet
That's completely fine
But know that your happiness
Is the world to your dad
Um
A
Just just half but just half hugs hugs on claude
Oh
He will go like this for a moment a beat
Right realize what's happening
And just slowly you know without making her feel trapped if she lets him
We'll put his arms around her and just give her a gentle back
With after a bit she'll ask him
Do you have anything
From
I have um just a little thing
And he takes uh, you know very carefully this woven bracelet from his wrist
Sylvie in case you couldn't tell me this for me
When she was a baby she was always curious and our favorite game to play
Okay, she spoke much later, you know some kids they speak early
You know, they learn different skills in a different way, but she always spoke. She never wanted it wasn't a big talker
She spoke later
But when she was very little
like about um
You know almost one year old she would have this game where she would want to know everything
So she point and point and point and point because she wanted to know the name
She
Was so brilliant. I and I and I remember her pointing at the same thing multiple times and I'd go yes sylvie
That's a tree. Yeah, it's a tree. Yes over and over and over
Wow geez the smelt kid I know
And I see too much
Of you and hell and vice versa
And I just like to think that if sylvie
Or any young woman who is bright and brilliant
And kind
And wants to do better we're alone in the world with I let them travel alone
I don't care that I was assigned to you cecilia
I don't care that you're very I mean I do care but yes, you are simulating my niece, but
You are a very kind young woman
And it is my honor and pleasure to be in your company
And I honor my niece
I think by looking out for young ladies who are too too curious for their own good
Curious for their own good I bet um
When we find her
You'll have
A lot of exciting stories for her
You two are going to get along like thieves and then I would be out in the cold and I will be jealous as fuck
He's just smiling
So cleric tell me a prayer what do we say
Oh ye gods for those who have listened convey this message
Maybe um, maybe we can just
Just the tear of it
I don't know that I have the words
Not for them yet
I don't know if I want the gods to heal either so good point. I don't think we need them for that. No
And
She'll just
Just close her eyes and just be
So how many goals have we crossed out
All of them we did it we win
This was painful as fuck Cassie Cassie look what you did to us look look what you did to us
