Groves and I'll be your host, your guide, your GM on this episode of Tales from the Crypt.
Previously on Tales from the Crypt.
The first car that you guys see as soon as you step out of the clubhouse is a dark black limousine
and it drives very slowly past the clubhouse. Outside of the gas and go slash glizzy max express
Vivian you see that same black limousine driving very slowly. Vivian what are you,
we point at it, point at the car right there. I don't see anything. Here and I pick up a rock,
I hit it with this rock. Is it close enough that I can hit it with a rock?
I have my slingshot actually. Oh go for it. Okay I want to swing a rock at it. Yeah you don't even
have to roll for that. You see the rock hit the edge of the limousine. The two of you see the rock
fly through its path and hit the ground on the other side of the street. Bonny you don't see
anything. Vivian you see this black limousine out front of Bonnie's house and slowly the back door
opens and an older man emerges from from the back door of this one. It's parked right outside your
house. This is so creepy. And he points up, he doesn't move but he points up to the window that
you're currently looking at. Oh my god he's on me. Why you got my name on your sign? Well
my name's Kevin and unfortunately your time is up.
My time? Like what? I gotta go home? I don't know you. No like you know your time, your time,
like it's your time, your time. You know you're not supposed to be here. You're supposed to be
here. You're supposed to be here. What? You're supposed to be here. You're supposed to be here.
What? I'm in the prime of my life. I'm about to be 11 years old. You can't kill me. No you're about
to be 93 years old. You've lived a long and fruitful enjoyable life. Now your time is up.
Excuse me, excuse me. No that's not true. You're supposed to be here. You're supposed to be here.
The two of you don't hear responses. You only hear Vivian talking. Although I would agree that you
do not look 93 years old. Because I'm not. My paperwork says your name Vivian Strauss? Yeah.
Okay so I'm looking for a Vivian Strauss. Uh-huh where was that Vivian Strauss born? Here. She's
standing right in front of me. No. Vivian you don't have to protest. I'm sorry sir but you do
understand that I am not the same Vivian you're looking for. I... You have to be the Vivian that
I'm looking for. Don't you think there's more than one Vivian? I hadn't quite considered that. Maybe
not one Vivian Strauss. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Maybe not one Vivian Strauss. Strauss is pretty common. Okay prove to me that you're 11. Okay
um I can take my slingshot and shoot the stupid off your head.
Doesn't sound like something a nice old 93 year old lady would say. And with that um he takes his
hand and gestures down to the ground and as he does a large sickle materializes into his hand
and he goes from being an old man to being a cloaked black figure with a you know pale white
face that resembles a skeleton and he goes this is not good for me. Yeah I guess it wouldn't be
because you got it wrong. Do your job better. I'm an apprentice and unfortunately I'm on probation
and I really need this to go right so 11 is a good time. You probably had a good long life already.
You just admitted you have the wrong person. I can't lose this job. Understand there's not
many things for a grim reaper out there and if he can't grim reap they're going to banish me to the
plane of planet mercury and I just I cannot go there. So get get do me a solid get in the limo.
No. Oh boy. Stranger danger. Stranger danger. Uh I wish you were over there. She's yelling
stranger danger and and I think at herself which is really we but is your friend has she done this
before? We should get over there. This is so weird but if she's yelling stranger danger um
oh let's just run for it okay. I run over flailing my corkscrew around in front of me wildly.
Oh whoa whoa what's what's your friend doing here? Uh probably doing something. He's gonna scratch my
car. Stranger danger. Oh I hope he does. Stranger danger. Okay you know you don't have to be rude about this.
You're gonna kill me. And um he stomps his sickle onto the ground and at this point uh Maxwell and
Bonnie the two of you can now see the limousine and what you would know is a grim reaper standing
in front of you. Okay kid knock it off. Holy shit. Don't scratch the limo. I'm not I'm gonna puncture
your tires. Don't do that. Just stay away. This guy was gonna kill me. Can you believe that?
Yeah definitely. We should get the hell out of here. Go away ghost. Wait wait wait. Go. Okay that's not
gonna make this resolve itself. The only thing there's two options. Vivian comes with me. No.
Her time is up. No no. I fulfill I can make the check mark on. He thinks I was a 93 year old lady.
Do I look 93 at all? Thank you. Your sweater needs some help. You're mean.
93 you're mean mister. Yeah you need to get out get your eyes checked or something. He pulls back
his hood and it's horrifying as like maggots and worms and snakes crawl all through his his skull
when he pulls it back. I immediately jump behind Vivian. See you do need your eyes checked. You
don't even have any. That's the grossest thing I've seen all day. This is like all those movies
I wasn't supposed to watch. This guy gets it. This guy gets it. All right who's really gonna
lean into trying to make a charm test to uh. I have no charm. I am. I would like to unless you'd
really like to. I think we're right around the same so yeah if you want to. Okay let's think
about ways we can work through this. Well let's think about who who is the real Vivian that is
93 years old. You should go find her. That sounds like your only real option. Well I already found
her. No. So here's okay here's what I'll consider. Make a charm test of a four. A two a four and a
six. Okay here's my offer. You go find the other Vivian Strauss. Okay. Okay deliver her to me.
Uh huh. Where are you gonna be? I'll find you. I know where you are. You know I got tabs on you
like crazy. Wait then why do we have to deliver? Can't you just appear? I'll appear there. I'll
get there. I'll be there. I'll be there. Okay well yeah that's. But I'm not gonna follow you around.
That's creepy. It takes us a really long time to get places. We have to walk. You got 24 hours.
You know what that means. By tomorrow. This time tomorrow find the real Vivian Strauss. You do that
and you won't be the old Vivian Strauss anymore in my book. If you don't then swing.
Just because you did your job wrong and I'm gonna die. Yes that is that is what I'm saying. It
sounds like you're just bad at business. Yeah you did a really poor job here. Can we speak to a
manager? You could sell cookies. Find Vivian Strauss and he climbs back in his limo. Hey.
I want to speak to your supervisor. I'm gonna write a Yelp review. He is such a butt munch.
Yeah I know. What a butthole. Well now we have to find some old lady. That's gonna be fun.
She better buy cookies before she dies. How come we have to sentence someone to die? That's really
weird. We're really young. Well it's her time I guess. It still doesn't feel right. That guy is
not good at his job. No I mean I'm not gonna let you die but like I don't want to kill this old
lady either. Well if she's had some bliss biscuits or whatever the things we sell she'll be happy
with going. Yeah that's true. We could sell her some cookies for sure at least and then she can
have some cookies. Maybe she's old and she'll buy us some cookies too. Oh as her as her dying act
that would be so kind of her. Yeah but we shouldn't tell her she's dying though. We'll know. Yeah so
maybe she's just nice. What do you think Max? Where are you on this? Well I was figuring first we
should probably go on the internet and search her name in the local area or we could just go to the
post office because the post office master knows everybody. So if we just ask them if they know of
any Vivian Strauss's maybe they can tell us where this other Vivian Strauss is. Yeah I like the post
office. The library's haunted so I'm not going there. You have a lot of things happening in this
town. Well yeah we didn't have death walking around here but um I mean I guess we did because there's
a funeral home but like he wasn't a literal person before. Oh he's like death jr. I don't think we
should give this guy any credit. He's like an in training kind of a situation. He's the reason I
didn't sell all those cookies the other day at the funeral home. That's true I bet he was messing with
you. What a mean man. Guy. Being omniscient. I'm too young to think about this concept too much.
The skeleton guy. Yeah he was scary what was with the snakes he should really clean that up.
It's funny before he showed himself to you he was just like a regular old guy. He should go with that.
He should definitely stick with that. Yeah. Still creepy but skin on you. Maybe the old guy
comforts old people. He should have used a young hot teenage boy to entice you outside last night.
That wouldn't have worked Bonnie come on. Baby. Teenagers are so old. Let's go to the post office.
Okay you're gonna be a teenager soon. I don't want to talk about it. That's weird. I don't want to
talk. He already lives by himself. Yeah I guess you're really taking life in some weird steps
and directions. My parents said it'll help me mature faster. Oh is it helping? I don't know.
I just want to go to the post office. Okay you guys go into the post office. It is just after
noon time. So there's a small crowd of postal customers some getting into their p.o box some
waiting at the window and there's one frantic postal worker at the desk. You're good at talking
to adults. Do you want to try to do this Max? Yeah yeah I can do it. Um Nick excuse me. Yeah yes
child yes child. Um we we have a little bit of an emergency. Our friend's life is kind of in danger.
Hey he cut the line a big man says. Oh no. A few people behind. It's okay it's only cutting if you
plan on doing business like everyone else but I don't because this is an emergency. Stranger
danger. Stranger danger. You guys are in the wrong spot. Wrong spot this is the post office across
the street. That's the police station. We need a name. We need an address and that's the post office.
Yep. Excuse me. So pardon me. We got it. Mr um post what's excuse me. Hi I'm Maxwell what's your name?
Clyde Clydewell. Excuse me Mr Clydewell can can you let me know if there's any other Vivian
Strauss that lives in this town? Um probably she'd be kind of old. I don't know if she'd have a box
and she'd come get it in person. The old Vivian Strauss? I think yes. There's two Vivian Strausses
that live live here. We would like the older one please. What would you what would you like about
her? May I please know where she is? There's been some confusion with a personal matter with the
with the younger Vivian Strauss and it can only be resolved through physical interaction with the
older Vivian Strauss. We five physically we must shake her hand. That's a weird thing kid. That's
a real weird thing to say. I've got paperwork here though uh her mail is to be forwarded to the
Sunset Senior Living Place but that doesn't I don't know if that's went into effect yet. The date here
is kind of smudged. This is a new notice. She used to live over on Penn Street. I don't know which
one to look for her at. That's the best I can. I can't give out actual people's addresses and
there's a lot of people here. A lot of people. Look at look at them all. Speaking of which does
anyone here want to buy some cookies? Oh yeah we have the whole wagon. Yeah anybody want to grab
some cookie? We have the crazy chocolate blasters. We have the fancy funfetti confetti cookies.
And your classic blossom shortbreads. So impromptu cookie sales. Everybody roll only one d6 to see if
you get in a success. Three. Six. My god. That little die does me good. Two. Okay Vivian you
sell two more boxes of cookies. She just like pump checks everyone. Oh you got five bucks.
You want some cookies? I like your style. The biggest guy in here punches you back. Gives you like an arm punch
and buys two boxes off you. Thanks guys. It sends you like swirling into the wall because he's huge.
Wow you're really strong. Yeah I know. These cookies gonna fill you up good. That's why I got
the protein cookies. Good choice sir. Protein max blossoms. You should also try these fiber cookies.
I don't need no fiber. You sound like you could use some fiber. Okay so where do you guys go?
Well we might as well sell some cookies on that street that she still lives on. Penn street.
Unless you want to try the retirement home first. Well I don't know. Should we go to the sunset place?
Where are we right now? At the post office. Yeah. Halfway from middle street. Yeah.
I don't know where anything else is. Well. Well Vivi I would say it's up to you. It's your uh
your life happening. Well I mean if he's got a new notice about a change of address they gotta
know something about Vivian at the senior place instead of us just knocking on random doors.
Yeah that's a good idea. I think that makes sense.
All right let's walk over. Yeah let's go. We'll follow you. Okay. You badass. Almost gonna be a
dead ass. Yeah well hopefully just a badass. As long as we find this old lady. We can't die man.
We have so many camps to go to this summer. I know. What about horseback riding camp? I'm not missing
that. I know. I guess we'll just have to fight this guy if it really comes to it.
He does seem like he might have a little upper hand in that situation. Yeah I don't think we'd
win but you know if you if you're going down I'm going down. Are you in this as the third human
being? Yeah I guess I just won't use the corkscrew. I'll have to use the real knife for the first
time. I haven't used the real knife because it's pretty dangerous. Yeah it is. You really gotta
watch your eyeballs. Yeah I don't do it with cooking either. I don't cut anything. I just
mash it really hard with a big knife until it kind of gets into the smaller pieces. But you're
mashing it with the big knife but you're already using the knife. I just use a big fork. Oh oh
okay yeah that's. Or a blender. A lot of blending. Blenders are scary than knives. Yeah they're like
a lot of knives that spin. But there's a lid on it. That's fair you don't put your hands in there
though right? I heard about a kid once that put his arm in there and then he died. Oh yeah. It's
I shouldn't do that. We make smoothies in our blender and one time it wasn't on there right and
all the smoothie came out the bottom. Ew gross. Yeah we didn't drink it. Yeah
we're talking about this as we walk in. We're now getting to we're getting to the nursing home. I'm
assuming so because you guys talk a lot. My little kids of course we talk a lot. Okay so you get to
the Sunset Senior Living Center and it's one of the largest buildings in town. Multiple floors.
It's not like super pretty. It's a brown brick building but it's kind of you know right in the
corner of town overlooking Pickle Park. You can see it from the school which makes it seem
ominous sometimes. So maybe what we should do instead of telling people in here about the whole
death guy thing and our friend dying we shouldn't talk about death at all in the old people's homes.
We should talk about how we're there to sell cookies and Vivian Strauss specifically called us.
I think she's my grandma. Do you think I can pull that off? I'm like Vivian Strauss Jr.
But do they know that? I don't know what they know. I think we should go with the grandma thing. That
makes the most sense. Everybody has a grandma. Well and you could be a grandma. I mean I'm
you could be named after her. That seems really believable. Okay yeah let's just not talk about
death. I don't think this would be the best place to bring him up if he scared me that much. What
would happen with people with bad hearts that are so old and so close to it already? They might know
him already. Yeah I don't want to yeah I don't want to stir anything up. And I don't want to die so
let's go. Okay let's go. You got to talk to the grown-up because you know what you're doing here.
I will talk to the lady. Okay. Uh excuse me um ma'am. Yes darling. Oh well I'm just looking for
my grandma. Um can you look her up for me? I want to visit her today. Plus I'm selling cookies and
she loves when I come and sell her cookies. Oh the senior people here love cookies that's for sure.
Do you have any of the sugar-free monk fruit bombs? Yeah we definitely have those. I mean we
have all the flavors of these um brave blossom cookies. Well you could probably do very well
selling cookies here. Um as for your grandmother dear what's her name? Vivian Strauss. Okay make
a charm roll for me. Can I help her? Do I have to help her before? Can I help her after she rolls?
You would have to give her a die before. Okay adding one of your leadership die to the roll.
Uh a three and a four. Vivian Vivian Vivian Vivian Vivian. Uh and just as she's about to tell you
some information on the computer um a red light begins to flash next to her at the front desk.
Oh dear wait right here. I there's an emergency that I have to help attend to. Is it my friend's
grandma? Is she okay? Should we come with you? No you should not come. Wait here in the lobby.
I'll be back. Is it my grandma? It's not your grandma dear. It's not your grandma. How do you
know? It's not it's not. What if it's grandma Strauss? Just sit here. If your grandmother is
dying you won't want to see it anyway so just wait here. And she leaves the front desk through a door
in the in the office. Damn it. Is the door in the wall like where the door closes and then like
that's the only access to get into where she was and then it's just like a counter or I'm asking
because I would like to seeing that the situation is dissolving to the point where she's leaving
her post I want to immediately try to get around and onto that computer to tell them where this
other room is. Okay yeah there is the one door that leads into this room but I'm not going to
tell you that you can't try to get in there. I'm just immediately going to go to that door and try
to get. Guys I think I I think I can get this. She was right there so like the information's
probably just on the page and she didn't have time to read it to us so like. They just look really
quick though. Yeah yeah. Yeah we could just look. She probably already pulled it up. Perfect. I'm
gonna yeah. Give me a skill check of four. Do you want help? I have two more helps. I'm gonna use
the dice that uh get rid of these dice that are only rolling twos. Uh I got one six. Okay one six
doesn't. So yeah you're able to you make your way kind of like you have to go into the hallway first
and then there's another side hallway you have to go down and the door's right there. You're able to
just make your way in nice and nice and sneakily. You don't run into anybody on your way and you're
able to get into into the reception desk. Awesome I'm gonna go right to the computer that she was
using and um just kind of assume that the information should pretty much be right there
because she was just looking for it before the bell went off and she ran. Okay up on the computer
screen is a patient chart. This is Vivian Strauss room number and A. Then it has a few more details.
Rival date is listed as TBD pending sale of house. Okay hey guys it says that um she doesn't have a
room number yet uh and and everything is kind of being holed up on the sale of her house so I'll
bet she still lives at that house over on Penn Street and she's not going to be here until she
sells the house so we should run over to to Penn Street. Okay yeah that sounds good. Does it have
the address on there? Oh no but the other guy didn't give us. Let me let me look again. Does
it have the the current address? Before you get a chance the computer logs out. Okay you can attempt
to log back in with another skill check but it will be a five or you can abandon and and get out
of here. Well there's only two other houses on Penn Street. There's a gas station and then two houses
so I think we can solve it pretty quick with a 50-50 chance. Um yeah Max why don't you hop hop
out of there? I want to see you hop over this. I am going to do that too. I'm going to hop over the
counter instead of trying to sneak all the way around. I'm just going to like scoot right over
with them and run for the door. Okay and as you guys exit the Sunset Senior Living Center who else
should appear? Your arrival in troop 256 Sylvia Blackwell accompanied by two other troop 256
brave blossoms outside the senior center. Beat it Sylvia we already got this place. Not a chance.
It's sold out. It is not. I can tell by your full ass wagon that you didn't sell any cookies here
like usual. We did sell these cookies they asked us to deliver them to their grandchildren.
Likely story you used the same one last year. No I didn't. Yes you did. Whatever you pick your nose.
Yeah we all seen it. Maxwell she picks her nose. I don't pick my nose and even if I did somebody
would still buy that off me like a box of fucking cookies. That's disgusting. Hey did uh this
escalation is doing just that. Who the fuck is this? He's going to help us win the cookie sale this year.
A boy? Yeah. Hi my name's Maxwell. People feel bad for him because he had to join a girls group.
Oh I didn't know that. Well that's okay. It's part of your skills of selling. I feel bad for you
because you're part of troop 626 and not part of 256. I feel bad for you and all the diseases
that you're gonna get for shoving that dirty finger up your nozzle. Okay you know what?
Beat it Sylvia. Why don't you guys just leave your cookie wagon? Why don't you guys just leave your
cookie wagon? We're gonna need all those cookies to sell to all those seniors. They're already
sold out. Not gonna sell any. You guys went there and yeah I just don't believe that.
You're gonna believe it. Do they have a wagon of cookies? Yes. Interesting. They have two wagons of
cookies with them. I'm gonna start brandishing my fists at this girl. Oh yeah? It's why is it always
violence with you? Anyways I brought Marsha and Marisha. We're gonna fuck you up. You guys have
nothing on me. I've got old sling and he's gonna get your eye. Okay I think that there's more than
enough cookies that you guys can sell in there because we only had time to be in there for one
half. So we'll just move on and you can go sell cookies and everything will be okay. How about
you go sell cookies on the other side of town? Can I? I'm gonna sell my cookies right here. Can
I roll a persuasion? No. Oh. That's not how this game works. I don't understand how that works. I
will declare when you can roll for things. And you can't roll for persuasion at the moment because
we are going into our first scrap. So the way scraps work is we're gonna roll initiative first.
So if two out of three of you roll at least to six you guys are gonna go first
in each phase of the round. If not the other team's gonna go. And each round is broken up into three
phases. So we're gonna have the the declaration phase which is not the same as the rest of the
phases but that's when you're gonna say I'm gonna act in the thinking phase, running phase, or
fighting phase. And then you're gonna perform your actions and you're turning the round. So we're at
the decision phase. These three opposing brave blossoms are ready to throw down and fight and
looking for a fight. Let's declare or let's roll initiative first. So everybody roll one d6.
Four. Four. I missed the thing. Four. Oh three fours. Okay so you guys do not successfully get to go
first. However let's talk about what phase you want to act in. The thinking round. That's when
you have the opportunity to talk somebody down, intimidate them something you know more narratively.
Or you can act in the running phase which is trying to improve your position and trying to run away
from the threat, trying to chase somebody down, or there's the fighting phase in which case you will
attempt to do harm to your opponents. Now I have a question about my enforcer thing. Yes. There was
like a morale rule right for enemies. Yeah so morale comes into place at a certain point in the
fight to determine if the opponent is going to stay in the fight or if they're gonna. Gotcha.
If they're gonna try to run away. I think I'll act in the fighting phase. Okay. I'm going thinking
phase. Okay Maxwell do you know what phase you would like to act in? I've kind of been thinking
the something to try to talk them down. Okay the two of you can act in the thinking phase and then
you'll and Vivian you're gonna act in the fighting phase. So. Can I ask a quick question? Yep. So I
have my leadership points. Mm-hmm. I can only give those away or can I give myself an extra?
You can only give those away. Okay that's what I thought. And only one at once. I couldn't give
Tim two dice on a talking down roll or something. Yeah I would say one at a time. All right what
what were the three options again? The thinking phase. Yeah. The running phase. Oh running. Or
the fighting phase. And they all happen no matter what it's just which one you decide to participate
in as a player. Yeah so the thinking phase if nobody goes in the thinking phase right you don't
have a thinking phase if no one runs you don't have a running phase. If everybody is like I'm
gonna fight if both parties have people that are gonna fight that's when you roll into that phase.
Now we're gonna go thinking phase first which troop two five six doesn't have anybody working
in the thinking phase so that'll just be you guys attempting to talk people down. So you'll each get
a chance at that then we'll move into the running phase which you guys have nobody that's acting in
that one and the opponents may not either and then we'll move into the fighting phase in which case
they'll go first they'll make their attacks then Vivian will make hers and then we're into a new
declaration phase where you guys are gonna say okay talking them down didn't work I'm run away
or I'm gonna try to circle behind them or I'm gonna stand here and you know punch them in the face
Perfect. Okay cool. Cool all right. So are you going with the thinking phase?
I'm assuming running goes on toughness so that's not gonna work so well. I don't know.
Okay so the two of you are going to act in the thinking phase. Tell me what you're doing.
I'm gonna tell Sylvia. Sylvia why don't you guys go sell on Bleak Street because we haven't been
there yet and there's plenty of people to sell to on that road. Okay give me a charm of six.
Charm test six. Yep I know I'm just seeing if I can do extra stuff. Oh I get a plus one to persuasion
so four dice on that one. My highest is a five. Oh okay no successes there.
Yeah I just don't see that gonna be what's gonna happen. I'm gonna sell right here and I'm gonna
sell to all these old fogies and I'm gonna get all their stupid retirement money. Rich people
don't live here but sure fine. All right Maxwell. Well right now technically you're on you're on my
turf so I know you don't know me but everyone knows of me but I'm the Pickle Park murderer
and I pull out my Swiss Army knife and I think and if you guys don't leave
well you know what's gonna happen. All right make a charm test of six.
I get to oh okay yeah cool I get to roll four. I get to roll four because one of the I get an
extra d6 for deceiving people. Fuck yeah. I got a six. All right.
So did I just convince this girl that I'm the Pickle Park murderer? Okay she she takes a few steps back
and I I don't even know you. You're really creepy.
Mar Mar Marcia Marisha yeah fuck this guy up. Then we're gonna move into the fighting phase in which
case they're gonna fight first. Let's not forget who started it.
Well yeah I mean what other response would she have? She hasn't had a fight in two days I mean
come on. Next time I'm gonna fight because I figured we'll get all of us kicked out of here
and they started it so they'll definitely get kicked out. Oh yeah. Are Marcia and Marcia twins?
They are not. That'd be really funny. Okay so Marcia and Marisha move to attack two of you.
You have talked Sylvia down so she's not going to attack. Marisha is going to try to attack
Maxwell and the other one's going to try to attack you Vivian. So they're each going to roll
their toughness which is 1d6 each. You guys actually have the chance for a defensive roll
where you will also roll a toughness roll yourself and try to get a six.
Can I help Tim? Yeah. Here two fives and a two.
A one and a two. It's a pretty good scrap so far. Neither of them is a good scrap.
So far neither of them are able to land any good blows on you. They only rolled a four and a three
so you guys didn't actually have to defend because they weren't successful in their attack anyways.
So it's just like the four of you kind of you know running into each other superficial slaps
kind of some hair grabbing but nothing nothing sticks yet and the scrap continues. So we're back
in the deceleration phase. I'm gonna fight. Oh nope nope nope. Vivian sorry you're still in
attack phase. You get a chance to attack. Okay I think I get an extra die because I have a plus one
with my martial arts badge. Yes when punching or kicking. Which I am going to be doing that. Okay
both. Either or. Five four two and one. None of those are successful attacks so you have to get
a six to have a successful attack. So now we are back to the declaration phase. What phase will
everybody be acting in? Fighting for sure. Fighting or running or thinking. Can I do the thinking one
again? You can do thinking again yeah. Okay yeah. Okay so you're gonna act in thinking.
Okay cool. So Maxwell you're the only one acting in the thinking phase. What are you
what are you doing? I'm warning you guys. I don't know how to use this thing and that makes me way
more dangerous. Don't don't don't come over here again. All right and then I point out Vivian.
She'll really hurt you. She knows she knows how. I watched her hit a can with her slingshot from
far away. Awesome. This time make a charm test five. We've reduced it by one because of yours.
Continued successful. Got a five. Okay the one that was trying to attack you
has now backed off and is behind her her other counterpart still in front of Sylvia. Like still
got her hands up ready to fight but she has in fact backed away from you because you're wielding a
knife and have said you're the Pickle Park murderer and these kids actually don't know who you are.
So running phase. Nobody runs. Fighting phase. So one of them is going to continue attacking you Vivian.
She does not roll a successful attack. Okay. And then it's your two's attack turn.
Nobody attacks me. No only one of them is still attacking. That's the one that's strapping with
Vivian. All right yeah I'm gonna try to punch Sylvia in the face. You're gonna run up and punch
Sylvia. Yeah. Okay. I got a six. All right awesome. And Vivian what are you doing? Who are you
attacking? I'm gonna attack the girl that I'm currently engaged with in battle. Okay. I got a
six. All right awesome. So all right so first thing we are going to do you each do one damage
to your opponents which is like a significant harm for a child. Like it's an open wound or like.
Broker nose. Yeah like seriously like not just a scraper bruise. You actually
fucked them both up and when you ran up and just like clocked Sylvia she wasn't expecting it
at all and her lip is like busted open. So they're gonna make a morale roll. Who has the highest charm?
I have three. I have three. Okay one of you has to roll against the opponent's morale score
which is a four so. Two. No you roll all your charm. That was only one. Oh sick. So roll all your charm.
Six. All right. After the two of you successfully hit these two two five six members Sylvia goes
okay okay. I think this is quite enough and her lips starting to swell up and is bleeding.
That was a pretty cheap shot and I just don't like it. Trip dive five six let's roll. You guys started
this. We did not. And you took your nose. We're gonna tell our troop leaders you guys clearly attacked us.
You started it and now you're gonna blame us and tattle. You're gonna tattle. What a snitch.
I just want to yeah you you started this. If you ever want to finish it you find me in Pickle Park
after dark when it's really dark. Like when. You're really creepy. Yeah. You're really creepy. Good I am.
And you're really ugly. And they wheel their wagons away and back across the parking lot. We should get the
hell out of here before we get caught. My parents are gonna flip when they find out I punched someone.
I almost stabbed a girl. Yeah well at least your parents don't need to know about that. I won't tell
anybody. Yeah let's go let's go check out those two houses on Penn Street. We have to find them. Yeah
let's run. Should we run? Oh let me put this knife away first. Oh yeah if one person sits the other one pushes one pulls.
Well I just mean we have to run with it. That's kind of cumbersome. We can run roll it down the hill. We
could all sit in it and take it down the hill. It is pretty big. I'll run behind you guys. Are you really
not gonna ride with us? No. Come on it's so much fun. I remember what happened last year. It's fun. Are you with me Max?
Yeah. All right let's do this. Okay which road has the hill on it? Uh Penn Street. The extension? Yeah.
So you guys are gonna take the wagon down the hill of Penn Street extension? Yeah. I'm running behind it.
Vivian pushed us. She gave us a good push. I like to push people. Yeah. Make a toughness check of three.
I got a six. When can I only use that dice you gave me one time or when does that happen? You can use another one. This is a different roll.
Sweet. It's my last one though. You have to take it. I got a three. All right all right the two of you make it down the hill.
It's pretty sweet. It looks sweet. It feels sweet and uh you don't you manage to avoid the pothole at the bottom
luckily and do not you know get thrown off this wagon. Well that was fun. That was a little bit scarier than I thought.
If I'd known that there was a hole at the bottom of the hill I probably wouldn't have gotten in but but it was fun.
Well this hole wasn't here in the fall last time we did this. And I come up running behind you. You guys lost three boxes of cookies off the back.
Did you grab them? Yes. Oh good. They're a little banged up. Well yeah. But I think someone will still eat them. They won't know unless we open them.
Unless we shake them. Yeah just don't shake them. Put those on the bottom of the stack. Put them in the middle of the stack. Yeah the middle is actually better.
Yeah that's a good idea. You're getting really good at this business stuff. Business. Yeah business man. You're like a professional.
I'm gonna get there someday I guess. That's what my dad said that. You have a future in cookie sales. Every aspect.
I have to learn all the aspects of business. How many are there? I don't know. Oh. So far it's cookies. Okay well good first aspect.
Okay so I guess we just go up and knock on some of these houses. Yeah. Let's hit the first one on the corner and then we'll just hit the one next to it if uh Vivian's not at the corner house.
Yeah. Hopefully she's not dead. Well though I don't think she would be. Death is not looking at her. Yeah but if we don't have her to kill then he's gonna kill me. I didn't think about that.
He the one that kills her to begin with? I don't really know. How many are there? I thought death was one guy. Apparently they have limos. I think that's odd.
It's a really big difference. Shouldn't they have a hearse? That would be more practical but maybe scary. Too scary. Okay well I guess we'll just go knock on this first house. Yeah let's knock on this door. I'll knock.
If you want to get your third tension I saw it in cop shows you should knock three times firmly and consistently. Okay. And I do that. And then I'm gonna do it right after her.
And then I do it. Knock knock knock. Then I go Vivian. Mrs. Vivian. Miss. Oh shoot I didn't. Vivian Strauss.
The door swings open and the very large man from the post office is standing in it. Hey what's up twerps? What are you doing here again? It's the little one.
Oh hey. Oh hey. You here to sell more cookies? Uh well if you want some more you can definitely have some. I'd be happy to give you. There's really choice ones in the wagon back there.
Um but I wanted to. They look soggy. No not those ones. Not the ones under. It's literally raining. No it's. You want to sell me rain cookies?
We put our raincoats. They're all under raincoats. Yeah. Well anyways I don't need more cookies. Okay well do you know Vivian Strauss? Yeah she was my neighbor. Was?
I think I haven't seen her outside in some time so I figured she had moved to the retirement home. Oh yeah she's not there yet. Is she this house next to you?
Yeah the one with the for sale sign outside. Oh okay thanks. Thanks Mr. Hulk Hogan. You have it. One day and he flexes. Bye children. And he slams the door shut.
Okay next house I guess. This is it. I didn't realize the Hulk Hogan lives in this neighborhood. Yeah he's really nice. I don't know he must work at the post office for fun.
That's nice of him. He was a customer. Oh. He just picked up his mail. He was really nice to me. And next door to Hulk Hogan's house is 956 Penn Street.
Should we knock again all together like we did? It seemed very effective. It did he came really quickly. And if she's old she's probably deaf so a lot more knocks. More knocking.
Three firm strokes. Oh wait knocks. Whatever they are. It's banging on this girl's door. Yeah let's bang on the door. Okay as you guys bang on the door there's no answer.
Hmm. Is she sleeping? It is an old house. There is a doorbell. There is uh you know it's not run down but it's not super. I'll ring the doorbell obnoxiously. I'll check the door to see if it's locked.
The door is not locked. Hey we could just uh maybe she couldn't hear us. Um you know sometimes older people can't hear well because they're old. Yeah. I don't quite understand how that works. Apparently when you get older everything just stops working.
That sounds so scary. I know Max that you don't have parents around all the time but walking into someone's house is considered rude. I don't think we should do that. What if we just peek our head and we don't physically move our feet in so technically we're not in the house.
Okay but your feet really should stay on the porch. Okay. Okay lean in there and yell. Shout really loud.
Vivian Strauss! We found someone who's finding you. Vivian Strauss! You gotta talk louder. You hear a whistle from a teapot coming from further in the house.
Guys I think someone's here because you hear that? There's a kettle going. What if she's in trouble and that's why she's not answering us. We might need to go. If we don't go in we can't help her.
And then you hear a crash come from further in the house. That solves it for me. Oh yep. Hi Mrs Strauss!
I run in. We all rush in. Run toward the noise. All right you guys run in and the room that you find yourselves in is the kitchen and there is a tea kettle that is going off and right in front of you is a is a shattered porcelain utensil holder and there's utensils all over all over the floor.
I'm going to turn off the kettle for safety reasons. Okay. I'm going to start scooping up the glass with some kind of dust pan. And I guess I'm looking around the room trying to see why it might have fallen.
Okay from an adjacent room the door swings open and a very elderly woman in a electronic wheelchair pulls into the room. Oh goodness! Oh who are you? Are you scoundrels?
No ma'am we're blossoms. Brave blossoms. I was a brave blossom. Yeah? I was one of the first. Oh that's so neat. Yes Margaret of Sullivan was one of my pupils. Your pupils wow!
Anyways what are you doing in my house? Is your name Vivian Strauss? It is yes. Um I was mistaken for you earlier today. Oh goodness who could have made such a kerfuffle? I don't know he's a real idiot to be honest.
It must be but you're very lovely you looked like me when I was a kid. Really? Not not really with the face or the hair um those were much different but I was also small yes. Oh um well I was wondering if I could um give this gentleman your information so that he can find you.
And what does he want is he an internet scams person? Oh no no ma'am I would never send a scammer your way. I am a brave blossom. I'm gonna give Vivian her cup of tea. I poured her a cup of tea from her hot tea thing.
Oh thank you this will help to calm my nerves of having three strangers in my house. Yeah sorry about that we heard something crash so we came in to help you. Yes I knocked over my utensil holder.
Yeah I cleaned that up too and Max here turned your stove off so we didn't catch the house on fire. So what is it that you need from me?
Well would you like to buy some cookies? Oh no an old soul like me doesn't need cookies. They're really good ma'am. That's all right I have to watch my health.
I have to watch my health you know it's it's very important for a person of my age to watch what we eat. We have sugar-free and fiber-friendly. That's all right I know what they put in those cookies.
Like I said I sold plenty of my in my day. Okay. Of course we had to make them by hand then but that was another day. Do you think I should just summon the death guy now? Yeah I think so we should just get him here.
Yeah yeah. What are you whispering dear? So we can put you in touch with that gentleman. I don't want to be in touch with them. He seemed like he was from um some sort of government agency.
Like oh yeah when you're over 90 you don't have to do those sort of things. That's law we all know that. I think he said that you weren't making enough um retirement old people money.
No I'm comfortable I just need to sell the house. He could be a long-lost grandson. I wasn't really listening to him to be honest. Maybe he wanted to buy the house. Was that what he was talking about? You know he was dressed like a real estate agent.
Listen why don't you guys tell me what you're really here for. There was a man he had a very big check like really really big and it had your name on it and it said you won a billion dollars. Publishers clearing house. That one.
Well I never entered I'm quite spry. I drink my brain juice every single day. I heard it's part of the law when you're over 90 you get entered automatically and you won a billion dollars. That's true I heard that.
You don't want to miss out. Why would they send you? I don't know let me roll my deceit dice and maybe we can sit tight. They didn't send us we decided we would help find you because well like we said he was old and you know how it is.
Well they tried to give the check to our friend Vivian and and we have to do the right thing and make sure it goes to the right Vivian. Blossom's bony. Blossom's honor. I'm also not old enough to sign a check.
That is probably true okay somebody make a charm roll.
That is true you don't look like you have signed a check.
Max should make a charm roll. What did you get? What's your highest? Three. Yeah not not not close enough it's out of five.
Does it matter if I got three threes and two? It does not. I'm pretty firm on my stance here children I would maybe like it if you if you left.
Or you could be real with me tell me what I why you're here.
Well if you really must know there's a black limo driving around town looking for you and there's a guy in it that was asking for you.
Why? Just tell me truthfully. Well um how old are you Mrs. Strauss? I'm 93. Hmm yeah I think that's about as old as you're gonna get.
Oh god. Are you here to kill me? I would never. I'm trying to get all my badges for the brave blossoms. I would never do that. But this guy would.
I think I understand and you want me to go find this man? No he said he'd come to you.
I understand. I just need my late husband's necklace from the parlor to wear before I meet my final resting place. Will you wait here for me?
Why don't I go get it for you? No it's okay dear. I'll go get it. It's right in the other room. Well let us come help you.
We'll accompany you in case you fall down again. Wait here. Would you continue to clean up the mess that I left? I'm so disheveled.
Okay sounds good. Give an old lady a moment. You have no problem but we're gonna follow her into the room. So make a charm roll of a six.
Wow I got a six. Okay so you give her a moment into the other room and then you go and follow.
And as you get into the other room you hear the tires on this wheelchair squeak or squeal on the hardwood floor like somebody's burning out.
And this thing bolts for the front door. And as you come in you see her making her way down the hallway and right down the stairs.
She's trying to escape from me. Go someone get her. All right we are going to uh enter a scrap.
Declare what round you're going to be acting in. Thinking, running, or fighting. I will say fighting might be a difficult one because you're not in fighting range.
So you could be if you have a mid to long range weapon. I'm gonna go with running. Okay.
Running would be following her. Running to chasing. Trying to catch her. Yeah I'm definitely down to trying and intercept as well.
Okay. I think I'll try to use my slingshot in the fighting stage. Okay. Oh so you're gonna kill her first.
What I need from you guys quick is some initiative rolls. So everybody one d six. See if we get two out of three sixes.
Five. One. What I'm sorry I'm rolling one d six? Yeah I mean it won't matter. It doesn't matter. I was thinking so much about where that slingshot could hit the lady in the head.
A four. A four. Okay so she's gonna go first and she is acting in the running phase.
So before you guys know it she is out of nine five six Penn Street and has turned the corner and is headed down Penn Street.
And so she's already passed Bulk Hogan's house and almost to the gas and go. This this. But isn't that backwards? We stopped at the first house on the corner and that was Bulk Hogan's house.
Please refer to the map. Okay. Bonnie she's all the way down there. There's no way that that's a legally regulated electric chair. There's been some modifications.
Holy shit Max jump in the wagon we'll roll down. That's a great idea jumps in wagon. Yep. Okay. I'm imagining the whole thing is a hill like from the Shady Yakers or Sunset Boulevard or whatever the hell.
And then like the road west and south is a hill like it's on top of the hill you know. So no matter where we go we can always roll down.
The sidewalks are actually escalators. The moving sidewalks. Yeah. Okay so are the two of you in the wagon? Yeah. Yeah.
Okay I am going to need toughness checks from both of you for a six.
I have two sixes. I have three sixes. Oh my god. That's crazy. I got a five. Okay. As fast as old Vivian Strauss's wheelchair is it turns out when you turn the turbo charger on in it.
It like destroys the power on it. It just gets sapped so quickly. And so although she is able to fly down this road it's only a short time before all of a sudden it comes to a very slow roll.
And you guys are able to catch up to her in your wagon and grab her. And then we're going to move into the fight phase in which Vivian that's you. What do you?
I was going to try to slingshot a rock into one of her wheels in case she was still moving but since she's kind of slowing down I guess I'll still try to do that but like make her forcibly come to an abrupt halt.
Okay. Two fives and a three. Two fives and a three. Okay. So good and bad. Good you don't hit her anywhere that you know you wouldn't want to or any of your friends.
Bad you kind of miss completely with your slingshot. Okay. Okay. You got me. But I really have quite a bit of time left.
Wait my friend has quite a bit of time left. No no she looks like a smidgen of time. Did you look at her? She looks pretty sickly.
You know just because she doesn't brush her hair doesn't mean anything. Why doesn't she brush her hair? I don't know.
You don't think a person like me who brushes their hair should have a little bit longer time on this world than my Vivian. No I don't think hair brushing should determine how long we live.
I think you've had enough time. You've had plenty of cookies. My friend Vivian needs time to eat her cookies. You're the right Vivian.
You're going to kill an 11 and 11 12 year old. I'm almost 11. Oh 10 and 11 12 year old.
Well fine. I guess it's my time. Okay. Should we how do we get this guy to come here? He said he would. Stranger danger.
The black wimmo pulls up right after you guys say he said he'd be here and out steps Kevin the Grim Reaper.
Oh delicious. Is this the right Vivian? Well what do you think? She looks a lot closer to 93.
She does. Vivs. Vivy it's time to get into the wimmo. Oh all right. And he comes over and what young Vivian Strauss sees is Kevin reaching his hand out and taking old Vivian Strauss's and she gets up and walks to the limousine.
Maxwell and Bonnie you two see kind of the exact opposite. You see Kevin come up and just sickle this old lady down. Oh my god what the fuck was that? Oh relax. Oh my god.
And then he gets in the limo and it pulls away and now the chair that you guys are holding contains the deceased remains of old Vivian Strauss.
Ew dead body dead body dead body. When you say remains is it like is her head like on the ground? No no no she's still one piece. Okay. It was more her spirit getting hacked down.
Should we push her body back in the house? No we should just go straight to the policeman and try to sell some cookies to them and tell them that the old lady is dead. That's on the road.
Maybe we should just go into this gas station right here and just tell them that we found the dead body. Yeah they're grown ups. Or maybe Mr. Balk Hogan could help us. He seemed awfully nice.
He won't buy any more cookies though those gas station guys. They're suckers. Now let's go to the gas station again. I could really use a hot dog. Okay.
Yeah and then we run inside. Hey clerk.
Clerk? Sir there's a dead lady outside. And it's just like a Gen Z person like oh god another dead person outside.
Yeah but this one's like fresh dead so you should hurry because I heard things happen after a long time of it. You know you poop yourself right? Oh I forgot about that. Did they poop themselves?
I didn't check. We don't know. You gotta call 911. She might have pooped her pants before she died too.
Isn't there like anybody else around that you guys can tell? Just call the numbers. Give me the phone. I'll call 911. Okay.
Beep beep beep. All right and so we'll cut away before we get to what happens to old Vivian's
stressus body. I don't think we need to go into those exact details but you guys have successfully warded off Kevin the Reaper and your time on earth may be lengthened.
Just at the end of afternoon too. Yeah. And we still have time to sell cookies this afternoon. No we don't. It's the end of the day. The day's over. The day's over.
Guys you want to sleep over? We can't. It's all night. Oh it's Sunday. I mean I'm homeschooled so I technically could. I probably should like send an email to my parents though.
Oh my parents won't let a boy sleep over unless I have other people sleep over. You know that also makes sense. Yeah. Let's plan for next week. Email your parents and by the time you hear back from them we can have a sleepover next week. Yeah.
We'll do it Friday so we can all get off the bus at the same house. Yes. That's important. That's so fun. It would have to be a yeah. Oh you'll have to go to school though. You can get a visitor badge right? Why do I have to go to school?
You'll have to take the bus to my house. Because that's the fun part. But I could just walk. But the bus is cool. You'll like our bus route. It's really fun. Okay I'll see if my parents can contact the driver or something.
Oh yeah maybe we could just pick you up on the way. I don't know how bus routes work. I don't either. Email your parents. I will. We'll talk next week. Okay.
Alright awesome. So to wrap this one up. You guys earned a couple badges. So Bonnie you earned the elder care badge by assisting or helping an elder in some way. Your benefit from that is you're going to add a plus one die to charm tests made to interact with elderly people.
Awesome. Okay. Both Bonnie and Maxwell you guys are both going to earn a running badge. You earn that by successfully fleeing from a scrap or catching a fleeing enemy. Which the two of you both caught old Mrs. Strauss.
Me? Yep. Both Bonnie and Maxwell. Running badge? Yep. Cool. Your benefit you're going to get a plus one die to toughness tests made to running during the running phase.
And Maxwell you're also going to get the researcher badge. You succeeded on a skill test to perform research on a subject related to the mystery and you did that in the nursing home. So you're going to take a plus one die on skill tests made to perform research.
Awesome. Vivian unfortunately you didn't earn any badges this time. No. I picked a lot of fights though. You did pick a lot of fights. Let's see.
Okay. Throughout the week you guys get two afternoons where you're able to sell cookies. Which days do you choose?
Most people watch a lot of TV on Wednesdays and then probably a Friday night would be a good one to sell cookies. Who doesn't love cookies on a Friday?
And it's payday. Yeah. That too. That sounds like a good business plan.
All right. Cool. So everybody give me two cookie tests. So roll your charm. Anything higher than a five is a successful cookie sale.
Higher than a five? Five or higher. Oh I got a five on that one. I did too.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I got a five. All right. So all only one five? Yeah only one. Okay. So you each sell one box of cookies on Wednesday.
So an additional five dollars and then make another one.
I got a six. Six. Six. Okay. That's it. One six. No fives. Okay. Vivian you sell one box. Maxwell and Bonnie you guys sell two right?
I got a six. Oh sorry. We all got six. Everybody got six. Oh yeah. Everybody sells two boxes of cookies and an additional ten dollars.
And as you guys are kind of finishing up for the night and making your way back to the clubhouse to deliver the cart of cookies you see a familiar black limousine pull up alongside of the three of you before you make your way back.
We all see it? Yeah. Everybody sees it this time. Oh shit. Not again. I'm definitely getting my corkscrew out this time. We're popping tires. I'm tired of being followed.
Yeah this guy needs to get his shit together. I hope it's one of you guys he's coming for this time. Wait what?
And the back window rolls down as he pulls up next to you. Hey children remember Kevin? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So I've been thinking about it felt pretty bad about what I put you guys through. Know your struggles. I know how many I've seen recently how many cookies troop two five six is sold.
That's a lot of cookies. So I'm gonna. Did you buy them? No I'm here to buy them from you. Oh sweet.
All right. So sell me a couple boxes. So everybody make a another charm roll. This time it is a four or higher to sell.
Six. I got a five and a four. Four and a six. Four and six. Okay. So he's going to buy two boxes for every success and four boxes for every six.
So he bought four boxes from you Bonnie. So that's an additional 20 bucks. He bought seven boxes from Maxwell. Six boxes.
Oh it's six. Yeah. Six. Seven. And I was like that's not how twos and fours work. Six boxes from Maxwell. So that's an additional thirty dollars from Maxwell.
And you got a four. Six. I got a six. So I get four boxes. You sold four boxes. So that's an additional twenty dollars for you as well.
So what's everybody's cookie sale numbers at? Seventy five. Is the total since the beginning. Yes. Total unspent cash.
Sixty dollars. Eighty five dollars. All right. You guys are doing really pretty good.
Sixty five. Business. Sixty five. Nice. Good job this week everybody. We did awesome. We did do awesome. I'm very proud of us. Thanks Kevin.
No problem children. Live long and happy lives. We hope so. Yeah. You too? Not really how this works.
Well you're talking so that's a good step. You should put some sort of bells on your car so we can hear you coming because it's scary to turn around and then you're suddenly there.
Yeah. I bet that's hard. Oh yeah. Sometimes it should be a surprise you know.
Yeah like with old Vivian. We told her what was happening and she tried to run away but she was old so we caught her.
Yeah. She wanted to be a fighter but at the end she was just a flighter. How often do mortals have to help you do your job sir?
Okay. Listen. Not often. This is a tough job. Everybody messes up now and then okay?
You just said you were new at it. Just take your hush money and don't bring it up again. Thanks. If you see anybody else that works for the organization just ignore them.
Or if they have your name just go to them. Don't be a pain in the ass. We'll see. Thanks. When it's your time it's your time.
Which organization was this? Can we give you a flyer for cookies to sell? He's going to hand you an all black business card.
Oh perfect. Thanks mister. Here's a sales slip. Ask your coworkers if they want some cookies.
When he takes it it dissolves in his hand. Oh whoopsie. Alright. Bye children. You have been a pain.
Okay bye. Hope to see you never. You'll see me again sometime. Hopefully not too soon. Make smart choices. Don't do drugs.
Stay away from sewers. Watch out for junk yards. Don't go into the school late at night. The school? Watch out for the post office.
Why are you saying these things? Go away. Why is everything dangerous? And he drives off.
He didn't mention the library which is weird. Or Pickle Park. Yeah with the murderers. He backs up.
Stay away from Pickle Park. I'm the library. I'm the murderer Kevin. No you're not. That's true. I know him.
Does he work for the organization? No. God no. Is he like interning or something? Uh no. Kevin's an intern and he sucks.
Okay. I'm an apprentice not an intern. Do you get them coffee? Shut up. Then you're an intern. And he drives off.
Well that was interesting. I'm glad he didn't come for any of us just now. I was a little worried. He bumped up my sales so.
Yeah he helped me out pretty good. That was my second biggest sale. I think that's an important business lesson.
You don't have to like your clients to make money. It's all about networking. Networking.
The three of you are having a sleepover? Yeah. Friday into Saturday? My parents bought us pizzas. Nice. We each get our own whole pizza.
Perfect. I'm getting broccoli on mine. Eww that's so weird. It's my vegetables. You got vegetables on pizza? Yeah. Okay.
I created, I used the custom email that I created. Maxwellsparents at email account dot com and just responded to myself that said yes it's okay if Maxwell stays at Bonnie's.
Fantastic. So as you're eating pizza here at Bonnie's house you guys can hear commercial for the Brain Freeze Juice Bar comes on and it's like get your brain juice now.
Guaranteed to make you smarter, stronger, brighter, and better. And then the news is going to come on.
Breaking news over the skies of Kleinville. Two shooting stars hurling coming ever closer to our town.
Did the three of you run over to the window? Yeah definitely. Yeah. Okay. When you run over you see two extremely bright objects heading right for the town.
Growing larger and brighter until they look like they hit in two separate locations.
Was that a shooting star? No that definitely wasn't. They're not supposed to land.
Alright I know we're in the middle of a sleepin over thingy. We should do neither. No sleeping, no over. Unless over is over there and we should go see what that is awake right now because that doesn't happen very often.
Yeah I want to know what's up. Let's take a sample. If we find aliens the government will give us money I think or are we become best friends with them and fly? I forget.
