Welcome back! It's probably been like two seconds for you. It's been a very long day for us.
About 24 hours.
It's just about exactly. This is our second part of our one-shot in the Kids on Bikes.
The kids on bikes universe with Madison DMing and then myself being a player.
Currently taking place in Mount Pleasant? Point Pleasant.
The name is confusing intentionally because we just decided to make it a bit because Robert kept calling it Mount Pleasant.
It's called Point Pleasant and then we added Port Pleasant in and so it's all confusing.
It's all encompassing.
Yes.
So we're going to go ahead and hop back into things right as Aster and Tony step off of the bus having spent an hour and a half pretty much in silence after the colossal failure that was Mrs. Edidick Cartwright coming in and splitting up all of Tony's hard work.
And then now we get to face our parents who are chaperoning.
Yes. So you all step off off. You all step off the bus and you see your mom and Aster's dad are kind of standing there and they wave really big.
And you can see that like people on the like on the bus like other students have like clocked the fact like oh these are like really big waves.
Somebody kill me.
You see Aster leans over and went to they tell you that they were doing this.
No. No they didn't.
Cool. That's so fun for both of us.
And it was everyone's kind of like shuffling in and people are like taking their bags and you can see that some of the other chaperons.
Dr. Cartwright nowhere to be seen by the way immediately she's fucked off which and people are kind of like some of the other adults except for their parents of course are kind of like taking the bags and starting to like shuffle them all into like one big pile.
And you can see that Aster's dad kind of comes up to you and like gives you a big clap on the back and it's like hey.
Yeah. Tony fully wins is it being physically touched in front of all of his peers having just stepped off the bus.
It's one thing to be uncool with another student.
It's another thing to be uncool with a parent a full ass adult.
Hey you know you said that you were going to keep her out of trouble and I just didn't believe you so I had to come along myself to make sure.
Yeah. Yeah. When did you all decide that.
And you see your mom kind of comes up as well and she was like oh we signed up like two weeks ago.
Mm hmm.
I thought it'd be like a fun surprise.
Yeah. No for sure for sure.
Where's dad.
He's working at the shop.
I wasn't leaving it unattended.
Awesome.
So it's just one of you and OK.
OK so I'm going to go be a high school student now but I really appreciate you saying hello. Bye mom.
And like pinches your cheek and I try and flight my way out of this.
Yes you can.
I don't want to be physically fucking touched.
OK this is going to be a this is this seems pretty simple.
All things considered are.
No actually I'm considering this combat because you're a fucking mother.
So this is going to be contested.
So moving into contested roles.
I'm not going to do the whole like attackers role is greater than an everything.
But that's definitely going to be your flight versus I don't have like stats for her.
So I'm just going to say what's your flight.
Dye.
It's 12.
It's a 12.
A d12.
Yep.
She's going to roll the same because she gave birth to you.
Great.
Maybe from the same person.
I was a one.
I got a four.
Cool.
Ha ha.
They're both so low.
You manage to slip away before she can like kind of grab your cheeks and she's like oh
and she ends up like going over and like ruffling Aster's hair and she's like I spent time on
that today.
I'm just going to finger gun to Aster as I like walk backwards.
She fully mouths like I'm going to kill you leaving her deal with our parents fully being
coddled by your mother at this point.
She's like oh my god you look so cute.
Where did you get that?
Stacey, what up?
You run after Stacey.
It's a completely leaving Aster and you can feel her eyes like burrowing into your body
and it's like one of those like you are in trouble with her for sure.
That is what it is.
So you can also see one of the other teachers, your homeroom teacher actually, she kind of
steps up and she's like okay before everyone starts running off and everything we're going
to go over the rules real quick.
This is pretty simple.
I really don't want to spend more time on this than we have to.
Buddy system, stay in your pairs.
Doesn't have to be your partner.
Just stay with someone else.
You are not allowed to be alone with an adult if you are a child.
That's the big one currently.
No boys and girls allowed in each other's cabins and then you can also see that two of the girls,
Aurora and Stephanie, just kind of like look to each other and like smile a little bit
and they're like okay.
You can see the homeroom teacher clocks in and she goes please don't, please, I know that this is a really outdated rule,
but like please don't just be courteous to others.
Lights out of the leaven.
Don't go alone in the woods.
Figure that goes without saying, but some shit head tries it every year.
Stay out of the water.
We do not have lifeguards.
Midspeech Tony is going to immediately take the first picture with his disposable camera.
It's going to be a selfie with him and like a bunch of the students.
He's like fully trying to organize everybody into the picture while she's giving the rules.
Yeah, you get a good chunk of the people.
Fuck yeah.
Like Aster's in like the far distant corner and once again like being fully coddled by your mother.
Photos one.
Okay, just a reminder that your cameras have a limited amount of exposures.
So use those wisely.
Okay, I'm going to be in cabin B.
No one bother me and you can see she like reaches into her purse and like pulls out like a fucking vape
or like some type of light.
You can't really tell if it's like a vapor.
But this woman is over it.
She does not want to be there and she kind of goes off.
It makes two of us.
And then you see Dr. Cartwright feels like actually you feel like a breath on the back of your neck.
And you turn around and you see Dr. Cartwright who seems to have appeared out of like fucking.
I'm taking a picture.
Thin air.
I'm taking a picture.
I want to know if she shows up on camera.
Fair enough.
Okay.
She does like do you is it you don't know how to work the flash on this camera.
No, I definitely am just pressing the button.
I think that means like take the picture.
Okay, cool.
She maybe a blinder.
She blanks like just one blank and you can't really tell if her eyes are going like up and down like blinking like
a little side to side like a fucking lizard.
But there's something just a little bit wrong about the blank.
And she smiles Mark Zuckerberg and she kind of like takes your shoulder and like moves you to the side a little bit
so she can keep walking.
But I got my picture though.
You got your picture.
Two exposures.
Just evidence.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
And she goes up and she's like, all right, it's time for you all to present.
The fact that you've learned about your partners.
I immediately go to the bathroom.
I just try and scoot out and immediately go to the bathroom.
Yeah, that's going to be a flight check for sure.
That's going to be everything's a flight check.
All right.
Come on.
Powers to be.
I got a 10 exactly.
Okay.
So you you skirt off to the bathroom and you hear her like going down the list of people to kind of like call and like go
I'm leaving Esther by herself.
Can I try and wave it asked her?
Yeah.
I'd love to just wave it asked her just to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like come with.
Yeah, it's like if it's just her, then they're going to wait until I get back.
Yeah.
Okay.
She doesn't look like she's reading off the list as she's like calling partners up.
It's very much just like her pointing like one of her like fucking nasty gnarled fingers at someone and being like, you know, I'm not getting cursed today.
So you wave to ask her and she removes herself from your mother.
Fuck.
Like it is a full like, okay.
Yeah.
No, yeah, I'm good.
I really I have to go change my tampons.
So like, oh, I understand completely.
I suppose pulling that card left and right man.
Listen, she's like, if it works, it works.
And she kind of heads off towards the bathroom with you.
Heck yeah.
Cool.
Oh shit.
All right.
Stuff is a bus.
Yeah.
You all don't have rooms yet.
Like you committed to this.
We're missing all of the orientation stuff.
That's fine.
We'll just follow everybody when they walk off.
We are getting out of having to present each other in front of everybody else with our
parents present is what we're doing.
Fair enough.
So we're just going to wait here.
And once we see the gaggle of people start moving towards one of the cabins, we're just
going to go right on in the back.
Okay.
Question.
What's up?
Do you not think that our parents are going to notice?
Nah.
Okay.
Cool.
Fair enough.
I doubt it.
This vacation for me, this is the closest I'm getting to a fucking vacation.
I'm not really going to ask about it.
Jackley, don't sweat it.
Don't sweat it.
Fair enough.
It'll be okay.
Okay.
Cool.
What do we have service out here?
Can I check for service?
Yeah.
You can check for service.
Okay.
There's no service.
No.
Fuck.
I mean you're in the woods.
Yeah, but like there's a town eventually, right?
Yeah.
I mean like once you go and like walk a little bit further.
Right, because we're in the middle of fucking nowhere with cabins.
Yeah.
Because this is like a summer camp, like a bougie summer camp and it's not used all year
round.
So you all just kind of like rent out the cabins and like stay in the bunks and stuff during
September because no one's going to be using them in fucking September.
Oh yeah.
But they're like nice cabins.
I mean like you're, you've made it to the restroom.
It's not like latrines.
They are nice bathrooms.
Like there's a shower.
There's like mirrors and like it doesn't smell like ass.
Yeah.
Taking care of, let's see it.
Yeah.
No, it's definitely bougie.
This is a vacation spot for a lot of very, very bougie like rich people.
So it's, it's not bad.
This is definitely where kids are like shipped off.
You can see there's a lot of like carvings on the like bathroom walls and stuff like that.
Something about like, so in such a way.
It's one of the survival wilderness camps.
Yeah.
It's like so in such as a bitch.
I mean, I'm not going to call this number for a good time.
But you all, I guess successfully managed to avoid the bulk of the introductions and
you see me to go and grab their bags and stuff.
Yeah.
All right.
Slide back in.
Cool.
No intros.
Too cool for you.
So are you avoiding your parents?
I mean, if they call me on them, it's going to be like I had to go to the bathroom and
then Aster also had to go to the bathroom and it was just convenient timing.
So you guys aren't allowed to be friends to go to the bathroom together.
I mean, yeah, but like why would they?
Okay.
I would they.
Why am I getting jealous?
Okay.
So you'll see.
Yeah.
Your your mom catches you and was like, where the fuck were you?
The bathroom.
The restroom.
The bathroom.
The place where you know, I know what the bathroom is.
It was just something going on with.
Nope.
Are you sure?
My bladder.
Yes.
Yes, there is.
It was full and I had to empty it.
Okay.
You know, you can like tell me.
Finger gun going off towards Aster to help pick up the base.
Thanks mom.
She's probably like a launch into like the safe sex talk and you just to.
Thanks mom.
Straight out of here.
Bye.
Don't say my name too loud, please.
You can see that they're kind of like directing people into like where room assignments are.
And they're kind of like hurding people in different directions and it's kind of like.
It's it feels like a very like first come first serve in terms of like they're like
counting people off by number.
And like that's kind of or like being like, okay, you three and then you three.
So for like rooms and stuff.
So it's.
Nice try hard enough at this point.
It's not worth it.
I'll say if you want to try and maneuver yourself to be in a specific spot with a specific group
of people while they're like counting off numbers, you can try to do that.
Or you can just kind of let the fates fall away.
Well, every time I've tried to rig the system, the system has not been kind.
They are you're going to be with the dudes.
I mean, I guess I'll be with the girls.
I'll put in a bed.
I'll try and maneuver myself to the cool guys.
Yeah, you're able to like, I don't, I don't want to, but.
You're able to clock Jason and the rest of the Jays and they're like putting their bags up like
they're carrying all of their bags like on their shoulders, like fireman style and it's very like showy.
But you're able to stand by them and you kind of get like counted off with them and you can see as
Aster is like going to grab and like move backwards.
She gets caught in the full fucking crossfires and Dr. Carter is like and you three or no and you five.
I forgot how many people were in a cabin and you can see that it's Stacy and all of her friends and then
Aster who was walking past.
She's fucked has fully been so fucked with that group and she fully just like takes a minute and turns and just
looks at the people and like the preppy girls basically and they none of them are looking at her except
for Stacy who definitely looks up and she just smiles.
I can't say this.
This is not saving and she's like, oh my God, bunkmates.
That's so fun for us.
Isn't it?
And Aster's like, yeah, I'm so excited to braid each other's hair and she just kind of was like,
oh, so cute.
And you can see that people are starting to like move their stuff into their bunks and Aster just kind of like looks
she kills me, kill me, kill me.
But she gets kind of like swept up in that and then she goes off to there and want to like fucking cabin like D or
something.
And you can see that Jason kind of comes up and like
cabin D nuts.
What's up?
What?
He's in high school, man.
I'm just trying to get into that mentality.
I want to do this sit in what you said.
No, I definitely when they're like reading off cabins like A, B, C, D, the second they see D, I lean over to the
nearest person to me, probably one of the J's and go, cabin D's nuts.
It's John and he's like, that's so he's like Bersalve.
He's that so fucking funny man.
Yeah, I know.
He like whispers it to the other.
So at this point, like the J's are like whispering it to each other.
Just like a fucking game of telephone.
Exactly.
Cabin D's nuts.
It gets to Jason and Jason like barks out like a really, he's like, ha!
My voice is so strong.
I'm so sorry to any listeners.
And I mean, you're in pretty good with the J's all things considered.
So Jason kind of comes up and claps you on the back and is like, what's up, bunk mate?
Wow, it's a real change of fucking character all of a sudden.
I'm going to be a bitch on the bus.
It's going to be cool here.
All right, Jason.
I mean, it's a meaty flap.
It is like, it's like, it's probably not the, I mean, give me a DC five charm check.
You can have this or not.
What'd you get?
I fail.
It's a three.
Give me my adversity token, please.
You think Jason is trying to be your best buddy?
Oh, okay.
I don't really like him like that, but I mean, I guess I'll put in some extra effort to like,
keep him happy.
Yeah, yeah, to the best bunk mates.
Point pleasant is to offer.
Yeah, man.
Yep.
He just kind of looks at you and is like, this interaction is done.
You obviously like catch the vibe he was trying to put out.
Nope.
He just kind of grabs his stuff and like walks out towards the cabin that you all are assigned to.
I'm not picking up anything Jason's putting down.
Apparently not.
That can just stay out.
Cool.
So I guess you go and get your stuff set up in your cabin.
Mega beef.
Cool.
I guess I have to detour to ask for to grab my duffel.
All right.
Tony is going to make his way around the cabins until eventually he finds Astor in the pot.
Astor in the popular girls.
I guess I'm just walking in the fucking cabin.
Just walking in the cabin.
I'm just walking the cabin.
Well, tell you what, I'm going to, I'd like to look around first to see if any of the counselors are around because there's a very clear rule about guys aren't allowed in girls cabins, but like, fuck the rules.
You can say there's definitely like chaperones who are helping people carry things into like the cabin.
So maybe walking in with no.
Can I go to grab one of Astor's 35 bags and carry it in for her?
Yes.
I think that works.
Yep.
You fully are like in it at this point your mom sees you and is like, oh, that's so sweet.
Y'all are so cute.
And she didn't say my name.
It's all that matters.
You grab the bag and you're able to head in and you can see it's like very like, I mean, most of these girls have like gotten other people to carry their bags for them.
Yeah, for sure.
Stacy is not carrying any of her own bags.
Of course she's not.
And you can see like where they're set up and they are bunk beds and you can see that Stacy and Astor are sharing a bunk.
And Astor's is like stuff is on the bottom bunk and Stacy is taking the top bunk, which is good.
Yeah, I don't mind that.
All things considered.
I'm a bottom bunk guy myself.
Probably looks like Astor ran in first and put her shit down.
Yeah, she should.
And Stacy doesn't look thrilled that she's on the top bunk.
But it was a matter of like the way that things happened.
And yeah, so you help her carry those in.
Do you want to like pull her off to the side or like, hmm?
Yeah, I'm trying to decide how much interference I really feel like running in this point because like my goal is sitting square in the same cabin that my like intro to this cabin is also sleeping in.
I feel like if I run interference, I run the potential of fucking up my only end to this building.
Oh Jesus.
So, um, I mean, I think I might pull her aside and just let her know that I'm going to grab my stuff out of the bag.
But I don't think I'm going to like extend a hand and be like, hey, if you need any help like I was.
Yeah, why don't you just leave it with me for now and we can get it later.
Yeah, that's okay.
I mean, we still have like several hours.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like if there are things I want to pick up with this money I got from Jason, I mean, I got to, you know, send to put in it.
Okay, um, here you're just going to walk out with a duffel bag or do you want me to like take it?
Well, no, I'm going to like go back to my cabin and like put things like in the place that they go.
Okay, would you rather be the person caught with the whisk here?
Would you rather be me?
Fucking go for it, man.
It's all I'm saying.
She's like, I just don't think anyone's going to check me for carrying around a duffel bag as opposed to you who has never been seen with a bag in your life.
I mean, if you feel comfortable walking around with with that, then be my guest.
Who the fuck is going to check my bag?
You're my mother.
I really don't think so.
She does weird shit.
Fine, take the bag.
Sick.
And she unzips one of the duffels and hands it to you.
Yeah, many duffel time, baby.
All right, so you take the duffel bag and you kind of like, you can see that Stacey, like at this point, there's not really any like Chevron.
It's in the room, which is definitely going to probably not last super long because some of them did see that you were in the cabin.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Probably shouldn't let that happen.
Yeah.
Always keep an eye on Tony.
But she goes, oh my God, that's a big bag.
The one like Astros bag or like my bag?
Like the bag that you're holding.
I mean, it's like a small bag.
I've got room for like more than one bottle, right?
Oh my God, did you bring more than one?
I totally, you know, I thought last time we talked, you just, you wanted the one like for yourself and for me.
I mean, I definitely brought more than one.
I just want to.
I'm not drinking like a whole bottle of whiskey.
I just want to like double check to make sure that there wasn't like another request that I missed because like there's definitely a second miscellaneous mystery bottle of alcohol on there that I swiped, but like.
Oh my God, you are so sweet.
Oh my God, that's so smart of you.
Yeah, that's I'm the sweetest and the smartest.
So to wrap back around, was there another kind of alcohol that you were expecting or like asked for?
Maybe I just didn't catch it.
I was too distracted by how pretty you are.
Oh my gosh, you're so sweet.
Oh my God, Flutter will get you everywhere.
No, I thought it was just like the two bottles of whiskey.
And who did you maybe think was going to be sharing the second bottle?
I mean, we're like all.
Right. Is anybody else on like the alcohol grab list?
Maybe I can like pool funds with another individual who is also tasked with bringing a second full bottle of whiskey.
What do you mean?
Like.
Say I had to break into a liquor cabinet with a fire poker to get the first one.
Maybe somebody could compensate me for having to get my hands on a second one if I didn't bring it, which I definitely did.
And I can see at this point, asked her over here is this conversation and steps it and she's like, yeah, we got the two bottles.
We're good.
And Stacy kind of turns her and is like, I don't remember asking if you got the bottles, but and she's like, yeah, well, one of them was mine.
So you can enjoy where that comes from.
And she has to patients is just kind of her at this point.
And it's just like, there's tension between the two for sure.
And she's like, oh, that's so nice of you.
Really appreciate that.
You should give yourself a time check.
You should do that for Astor.
Do that for Astor.
Can't get away with this because of the fucking not getting her ass be.
And you know, I'm like pulling the lie off. She fully just went, yeah, I brought a second bottle of alcohol.
Stacy, what was the DC for yourself?
Bro, I did fucking more than one.
I went okay, so I'm probably going to put that in like a failure by five or more.
Holy fuck.
So you see, like, I'll take one of those little little tickets.
Yeah, give yourself a ticket.
He's like, what type of whiskey is it?
Astor, and you know, no, no, no, no, no falters.
And she was like, whiskey, whiskey, you know, and Stacy's like, yeah, but like, what brand?
And you could see Astor kind of like struggles again.
And she was like, girl, Jeff Daniels.
And she was like, oh my God, I love that kind.
Yeah, well, you can take those two bottles and I can't wait to see both of them tonight.
Actually, Astor, you should be the one to bring them to the group.
Yeah, you know, since you got them and everything.
I mean, she was already going to be like helping that though, right?
Because remember, last time we talked, Astor was actually coming to the party.
Stacy, you actually okayed that.
Yeah, I thought that was like a fucking joke.
No, no, it wasn't a joke.
I mean, she provided the other bottle of whiskey.
So like, you know, it would be super cool.
There's not another bottle of whiskey in there.
It'd be super uncool if we didn't let the other person that supplied the other bottle of alcohol for your friends to like come to the party.
Okay.
Can't wait to see you there tonight with two bottles of whiskey.
Fantastic Astor, let's go.
You can see Astor is fully like biting her tongue and she's like, she was like trying to step up and then immediately just fucking fumbled.
I'm just going to push her out the door.
Come on, dude, we got to go.
As soon as you get out the door, she's just going, I fucked up.
Second bottle?
I fucked up.
You brought the second bottle.
Fucked up a little bit.
Jeff Daniels?
I, Jeff?
It started with a J.
Jack, Jack Daniels, the most traditional basic like American male name besides John.
Jack, you went with fucking Jeff?
I don't know, man.
Who's Jeff Daniels?
I don't know.
And now you're responsible for bringing a second bottle?
Yeah.
Fuck.
How are we going to do that?
That's a great question.
Okay.
Fucking whiskey bottle extraordinaire.
Oh.
You think we're going to get our hands on a bottle of Jeff Daniels?
Shit.
I'm going to do a little brains check for her.
This is just going to be a DC five brains check.
Half a baby.
Oh yeah.
I can just fucking half it because she's got 20 in brains.
She goes, okay.
Five or more.
Okay.
So a part-time job during the summer, I work at the curious Jack, the curious Jack with
the curious Jack, the shop on the boardwalk.
Okay.
I literally talk about it all the time.
Yeah, for sure.
Definitely.
Remember hearing about the curious wax?
Yeah, heard about that.
So close, but not that.
But anyway, the owner, Frank, he's like, he's like drinking on the job.
He's like, I mean, great guy, fucking questionable, just general human being.
To the point.
Anyway, yeah, I know he has a staff.
She keeps them under like the cash register.
So you're going to rob your boss?
I'm not going to rob him.
I mean, like, I'm telling you, this man has so much alcohol in his mouth.
So we're going to rob your boss?
We don't.
It's not like robbing.
What?
I asked her if Stacy walked up to your desk and just straight up lifted one of your pencils
and then didn't give it back.
What would you call that?
Stealing.
Right.
So if we walk into your boss's store and then just, I don't know, lift a full handle of
whiskey, what would you call that?
Barwing from a dear friend.
Robbery.
It's not a robbery.
Robbery.
What the fuck did you do to get that bottle, huh?
Uh, robbed my parents, which is significantly better than robbing a fucking store.
Frank, no, it's not like it's for sale.
It's like his personal stash.
Oh, well, I guess it's kind of better.
Anybody will notice.
That's what I'm fucking saying.
He keeps it under the cash register because he doesn't think anybody's going to notice.
All right then.
I guess we have a destination.
Cool.
Perfect.
She's like pacing a little bit.
She's like, I fucked up so bad immediately in like fucking caved.
But you can see that other people are kind of starting to like come out of their cabins and
you can see that some people are like, they've got like lighter day bags on as opposed to
like all of these like bulky duffel bags and stuff like that.
And it looks like people are heading to go somewhere and you're able to like pick up
on a buzz and like people are talking about going down to the boardwalk, which is only
like a five to 10 minute walk away from.
I'm going to cash in two adversity tokens and manifest the coolest day bag you've ever
seen in your fucking life.
I hate the way you pass out of nowhere.
You pat like, like you're trying to fucking bribe a cop or something.
You just like put them down and I need you all to understand as listeners what he is
doing.
He puts it down on the other side of the table and slides them over with one finger day bag.
Yeah, you get a fucking sick as day bag.
What does it look like?
Definitely stole it off of one of the Jays.
They had like five or six at a larger duffel bag and I picked the most inconspicuous one.
It's still like a $60 day bag.
Definitely like Nike Brandon blacked out the white logo.
I'm like fully going to take like, I don't know, like a fucking knife or something or
a stick and like scrub off the Nike logo so that nobody can call me on it.
So it just looks like a normal like black day bag.
Yeah, it looks sick as hell.
Yeah.
You can see that Aster has like a backpack.
All black day bag baby.
A little bit lighter than like what she typically carries to school, but it's still like a pretty
bulky bag, all things considered.
Probably like a three to three.
Day bag.
And you can see that some people are already starting to like pair off and like go ahead
on that walk.
You can see that Stacy is like texting and is like fully getting an Uber.
It is a five to 10 minute walk to be clear.
Riddle me this.
How was she texting?
Fuck.
She's not getting an Uber.
She's walking like the rest of us at least for a little while.
She walks to a pay phone and fully like pulls out a quarter and is like I'm not fucking walking.
She knows how to use a pay phone.
There's no fucking chance.
Okay.
What would you call that?
What?
Give me a DC for that.
Oh, for Stacy?
Yeah.
For what do we think Stacy knowing how to use a pay phone is?
I'm thinking at least a DCA brain stuck.
DCA brain stuck.
I don't think this girl knows what the fuck a pay phone is.
Okay.
I would put her brains as an eight.
Okay.
Because you've got to be smart enough to be this much of a thing.
No fucking Uber for you.
Okay.
She's not able to Uber.
Three.
She does not Uber.
She gets very pissed.
She does not know how to push the buttons on the pay phone and does not understand why it
does not touch screen.
It's so cute.
It's adorable.
People just being technologically illiterate is just the cutest thing.
She's kind of annoyed and rolls her eyes and you can see that she and her friends are
kind of waiting for the Jays and they're all going to walk in a group and you can, if
you want to stay and walk with them or if you want to walk separate.
Now we got a mission.
Unfortunately, we have a mission.
Things to ask her.
We have to go grab one.
I was fully prepared to try and talk myself out of this second bottle business and then
before I could get to asking for a check, Astros fucking, yeah, we bought a second bottle.
Hey, commitment.
Right.
So we're going to go commit to robbing her boss.
Yeah, it'll be fine.
She's like, it'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
It'll be so fine.
You know, yep.
Frank is like, he's honestly probably going to be too drunk to notice in the first place.
So.
That's so fun.
You can see she's also like is asking about the camera because you all are like sharing
a camera as a partner, like as a group.
And she's like, how many pictures have you taken so far?
Maybe like two out of 27.
Just two.
What have you taken?
I got a group picture with the, with all the cool people on the bus.
And then I got a picture of Mrs. Fartwright.
I want to see if she showed up, but now I realize we have to have the film developed.
And that's not how this works.
So, um, well, we'll find out later.
Yeah, we'll find out later when she develops a picture of herself.
Yeah, I'm sure she's going to love that.
And you all kind of start off on the walk.
It's not a super long walk, but you all eventually make it to the point, the port pleasant.
It's port because it's like a boardwalk, um, here and boardwalk.
And there's like a bunch of little things on there.
I'll have a brochure that I will post when I'm posting all of the like resources for this that you'll be able to give players if you end up running this where it shows you all the different locations.
But for right now, I'm just going to kind of read them off to you.
So you can kind of get an idea of what is there.
So there is a couple different places to eat.
There's a place called the Dew-Op-A-Biner.
What time of day is it really quick?
It's morning.
You all left before school started.
So it's probably like nine.
Yeah, nine.
Nine-ish in the morning.
So you all have like a pretty...
Party's not going to start until after sunset for sure.
I feel like this is like a 10 p.m. kind of thing.
I don't know.
I feel like that's when teenagers always think it's like the greatest time ever to start a party is super late.
Correct.
So you have like a full 12 hours then.
Yeah, so it is if you want to make the whiskey your priority, you can make that a priority or you can like stick around first.
I'm trying to knock out whiskey first.
Like first thing, because with the way that this trip has gone and the setup for this trip has gone,
there are going to be an unknowable amount of obstacles, first and foremost being Aster.
And if I can like secure the bag before I get to have my fun in town,
I got to make sure that this party goes down the way that it like absolutely has to go down.
And if I don't show up with two bottles of whiskey, one that says Jeff Daniels on it,
then I'm looking like a fucking buffoon.
Yeah, so I can go ahead and kind of give you the rundown of like what the boardwalk looks like
and what there is before you go ahead and head into the curious shelf,
which is a place that you know is there and that you're going to be going to or I can wait until after.
Yeah, just yeah.
I think doing a little bit of intro and like what it looks like as we walk there is probably good.
Cool. So it is a very like classic boardwalk. It has like a very 50s, 60s feeling to it.
There's somehow like music like they've got like speakers on like the little lamppost and stuff.
So it's a lot of like it's it's boardwalk music. It's like that genre.
The song is like under the boardwalk. It's a lot of like there's Beach Boys, Rock and Robin, Happy Together.
Yeah, not in a place that should be playing this music.
It's just like a very cheery vibe, which is in contrast to like the beach is not like this is a place that was definitely pretty at some point.
And it's probably gorgeous during the summer, but like it's overcast. It's a little bit like there's a little bit of a chill in the air.
But it smells like salty walking. Yeah, it is like everything. It's like bright colors, but everything looks like it's had like a little bit of a gray tone over it just because of how dreary the weather is.
You could see that the beach isn't the most inviting. There's like a lot of clumps of like seaweed washed up on shore.
And it's it's not my hair is so fucked. It's damn salty.
And you can see there's a bunch of different like little shops and stuff. There's like a big Ferris wheel towards the end of the pier.
And it's like there's like a restaurant that's like a very like 50s camp vibe kind of like I don't know what the name of any of those restaurants are, but like the like steak and steak steak and steak, but like dialed up to attend.
And you can see that there's like a little like souvenir shop like a kid's she plays there.
We have a place in town called GD Ritz season three like that. Yeah, it's like that like the checkered floors and the big red booths and all that shit.
It's kind of like in terms of like trying to describe this in things that you, Robert have experienced just because we've been on vacation together.
It's like if you get like the the touristy streets in Gatlinburg, but like take it back 50 years.
But it's like that kind of vibe of like I don't really don't like the touristy streets.
I say this is this is a very touristy place. There's like like a saltwater taffy store and like you're off season.
So a lot of these stores are closed. There's like a handful of things that are open, but it looks very like there's not other people walking around like it is literally just your class, which is not very big.
And you can like assume that maybe some of these places opened up because of the field trip, just because it's like the one little bit of business that they're going to get during the off season.
Yeah, but like half the stores haven't even bothered to like turn their signs on.
And it just kind of looks pretty dead. You can see there's like some carnival games or like some like boardwalk games.
There's an arcade that looks like there's a wax museum. There's like a mirror maze.
There's just a bunch of like everything that you can imagine in like a very touristy place, but it's very cute.
Or it was very cute at some point. It could be. It's just.
It's definitely a cute potential. It's just off season and disgusting outside.
Yeah, and just dead. But you all make it up onto the boardwalk.
And you can see that Astor is kind of just like immediately be lighting to this location, which is like in the middle of the boardwalk in terms of like situated in between all the shops and everything.
And it is an odd looking store because it's like everything else for the most part on the boardwalk looks put together.
It's like it may not be like the highest quality. It might. It's like the off brand like Ripley's believe it or not like vibes of like that's what everything else kind of is.
It's still like very kitschy and it's very like cutesy.
And this one, it looks a little bit more rundown than the other stuff like the stuff is not as nice. There's a little bit of like paint chipping on the signs.
Or if it has like a light up sign, there's like a couple of light bulbs that are out and it says the curious shelf.
And it also says like in a sign underneath, it's like wonderful wonders.
And then there's another like sign underneath that like tacked on to it that says like open all year and somehow this little shop, which is it like it's a local oddity shop.
And it is open 24 set like not 24 seven, but it is open all year, despite the fact that it's like one of the few places in town that is open all year as opposed to like everything else.
How far back is Stacy and the gang? I imagine we're probably walking ahead of everybody.
Just trying to get to this fucking shop.
Yeah, I think we'd be like two three minutes behind you guys.
I would love to tell Aster to go ahead and chat up the boss. I'm going to drop back and go chat up Stacy and try and set a lunch date.
Sure thing. You can totally do that.
So Aster's like, cool. So I'm just going to go get a fucking.
No, no, just hang out.
Chat them up, you know, butter them up, say some nice things, getting, you know, get them thinking about anything other than his whiskey. I'm going to go back and set up a dinner date or lunch date, I guess, because, you know, we'll be having dinner in the woods.
Right.
But I'll be back. You got this, I believe in you.
Cool.
You're great.
Great. Okay.
And start like, goes up ahead.
And you can see her open the door and it's like the most complicated series of bells you've ever heard. And like, you can hear it from where you are at the beginning of the boardwalk and like the stores in the middle.
Yikes.
It's an odd place. It's kind of like, I mean, you would know enough about it. It's a little bit of a joke to like people around here.
But also at the same time, it's show Aster's vibe. It's got like some of their exhibits are like the mountain springs mermaid instead of like the Fiji mermaid.
Right.
Like postcards from parallel dimensions. It's just very kitschy and like goofy.
And so you hang back and how are you? Are you like waiting or do you like straight walk backwards?
Yeah.
How do I do this without looking like ultimate desperate?
Fuck.
I'm gonna make it look like I'm walking back towards the cabins like, oh, I forgot like my comb or something like that.
And then just circle around them.
Like I'm doing the full fucking loop around the boardwalk so that I don't have to be seen going back.
I was like, also as an option, I'm going to give you, you could also wait at the beginning of the boardwalk and just like, lean against the lamppost.
Okay.
I don't know. That just seems desperate. You know, I'm saying like, I don't want to make it look like, oh, like I'm waiting for Stacy.
Bear. Okay.
So you loop back around and you're able to catch up with them.
And it's, it is like the full crew. It is like all of the Jays and then like Stacy's friends.
So it's like, there's probably about eight of them.
And you can see that like Stacy and Jason are walking next to each other, but like she's like not looking at him totally.
But like also like Lathes River like two seconds to be like, why the fuck is he not looking at me?
Oh, I gotta give up on her at some point.
I got a point to prove them. All right.
I guess I'm just going to kind of walk up to Stacy and be like, oh, hey, yeah, fancy fancy running into you.
I had like run back and grab my comb because this weather is fucking terrible.
Yeah.
My hair is already starting to lose its shape and it's just like not it's not the vibe.
Anyways, I heard about a really cool diner towards the end of the boardwalk that might be cool to do like a lunch at if you were interested.
Oh, cute. Like, like just.
No, you could have write your friends if you want to.
Okay.
Yeah. I mean, Aster will be coming with.
Great. I love that.
Yeah. Maybe your friends and ask her can get to know each other better since she'll be at the party the whole night.
No, I think I think we know Astro.
I think we know everything we need to know.
What's your favorite color?
I don't know.
There's a question you can ask her when we all get lunch together.
Are you trying to set me and Astro up on a fucking date?
Absolutely not, Stacy. Why would you? Why would you think that?
I'm trying to set us up on a date without us being interrupted the whole time.
Okay, but you're like really fucking gung-ho about bringing Astro everywhere.
Yeah, she's supplying half of the alcohol. I'm confused.
Like, what's the beef with Astro?
What do you mean?
Like, why do we dislike Astro?
I'm not having a fucking like dialogue with you.
Oh, that didn't have to be a dialogue. I'm just like curious as to what like the beef with Astro is.
I mean, I don't...
It's a fucking weirdo.
Mm-hmm.
Yep, that is a...
I don't understand what you're really saying.
Yeah, no, you're right. Super, super weird.
Super weird. Yeah, for sure.
Anyways, the diner at like 12? 12.30?
Okay, sure. I'll buy it.
You and me, your friends.
Yeah, sure. And you can see Jason who's still like in the fucking crew.
Like, once again, is like, yeah, 12.30 sound good to you guys and like fully turns like the rest of the Jays.
Yeah.
So...
Can I try and bullshit to the Jays and make it sound like there's some sort of competition going on with like the Boardwalk Games?
Yes.
Just to get them to do anything else.
That would be a...
Very smart.
Just to be like first one to hit like max out all the points on the games.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know. Gets like a beer or something.
Something fucking stupid.
Oh, so like issuing them a challenge?
Yeah, issuing them a challenge.
Okay, yeah, cool.
That's probably gonna be like DC...
8?
Charm check?
Having that shit.
Cool.
Yeah, how do you do this?
Yeah, you know what? Jason, talking about lunch.
I've overheard my mom actually, so since she's one of the chauffeurs, I got an inside scoop into some of the like the programming for this.
Mm-hmm.
It sounds like maybe there's some sort of reward for like maxing out all the points on the Boardwalk Games.
Remember, has it the strength tester has not been maxed out in 20 years?
Yeah, because I said that because I haven't fucking been here in 20 years.
How old are you, Jason?
17.
Okay. Yeah, no, for sure.
So like what if you...
I haven't been here in 20 years. I'm not 20 years old.
So what if you like broke your record then? Wouldn't that be sick?
Yeah.
Beer on me, you break your record.
Okay. No, how about not just breaking that record?
No, we see who scores higher.
Oh, I knew it was gonna come to this.
Okay, bet.
Hunt, sure. For sure.
Sounds good.
Yeah.
Put her there.
The games open at 12.
Mm-hmm. Yep.
Put her there. Shake on it, man.
I hate this man.
He holds his hand out.
God damn it.
It is like a fucking like, firm ass.
Yeah, I'm squeezing back.
Ow, ow, real life.
I'm squeezing back.
Ow, you bitch. I'm about to use nails.
Anyways, fuck this guy.
It didn't go like that. He actually fucking squeezed your hand harder.
Yeah, whatever.
I can't do that in real life.
And you can see at this point, Stacy's like,
oh, competition, cute.
And she's like, okay, well, I think I'm gonna go ahead
and get a head start on my games.
So I'm gonna kind of skip past, yeah, because I assume
at this point you all have like made it pretty much to the boardwalk.
Yep.
I'm gonna dip off and go to shopping.
Yeah.
Finger gun, catch you later.
I'm gonna go ahead and get my hands on my stuff.
And then I'm gonna go to the next one.
You see her and her friends kind of like split up from the Jays
at this point.
Suckers.
And the Jays are like, Jays and I think it's just fully running
down the boardwalk.
I don't think there's anything behind it.
I don't think there's like any thought or like process.
I think this man is just.
I said I'm on a quest.
He could never finish.
Yeah, he's gone.
He like got a hype of adrenaline at the like thought of competition.
And then he just stays like, oh my God, look at him go.
And you just hear her say that before she walks into the arcade.
One of her friends is like, girl, no.
And you are standing on the boardwalk.
Do you want to go catch up with Astor in the shop?
Yeah, I'm just gonna go to Astor.
Cool.
You walk in once again.
It is a weird fucking bell.
When you open this door, what do you think it smells like in here?
I think in like your grandma's house mixed with an antique shop,
but also some really funky ass smelling incense like our roommates like to light
occasionally.
I know the exact one you're talking about.
Yup.
Yeah.
I think it's a combination of all those smells.
Yeah, it's that vibe.
It's like.
Fucking disgusting.
Truly the way this place looks on the inside.
It's kind of like the mystery shack.
Tony enjoys his cologne enough that he immediately starts just like huffing a
shirt.
It's like it looks like the mystery shack, but also crossed with one of those
stores that sells like incense and crystals and stuff.
Yup.
Knew it.
And it's also like somehow also a Ripley's like believe it or not.
It's just an odd vibe.
He has the license for that.
It's like it's there's like a two headed like deer like not only a two headed
deer and it's like very large and checks up like a good chunk of like the
corner of a room.
And there's like some like crystal balls and you can see there's like weird
things like hanging from the ceiling and one corner like a like what are they
called?
Oh my God.
They like hang over baby's beds.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Yeah, it's like one of those things, but it's like all like dried fish.
And they like just look like a little wrong.
It is just it's just an odd place.
And you can kind of hear noises like coming from like a back area.
There's like a thick like velvety curtain.
Aster, Aster, Aster, if you'd like to come out and help now that'd be really cool.
Aster or I'm going to like bounce.
I'm getting a weird vibe Aster.
You can see a older man who's like a little bit scraggly looking dark hair,
a little bit of like a darker skin like the curtain like opens with like and
he's opening up like a baseball bat and he's like what?
Oh, I was looking for Aster, Aster Donovan.
And he like kind of looks at you for a second and he calls back over over like
his shoulder.
He's like Aster.
There's a fucking weird guy here.
Hey, I don't know if I see that.
And Aster comes like running out and she's like she looks like a little bit relieved
to see you but is also like what's why are we yelling as soon as we walked in the
store kind of interviews.
She's like, no Frank, this is this is Tony.
Tony's, you've I've I've told you about Tony and he like kind of like looks at you
and like squints.
She's told him about Tony.
And like looks back at her and he's like, okay.
You were like not kidding about the whole like Frank, you might have like get your picture
in your shop.
We have to take picture of take pictures of locals like people local to the area and
I thought you might be like a cool addition.
Oh fuck yeah.
He likes awesome.
Do you happen to have any like bottles of alcohol?
There was like a theme about like the culture of the boardwalk and like sometimes there's
like people that walk around with like open bottles and stuff and it's do I look like
a narc?
Do I look like an arc to you?
You kind of look like a cartoon character.
I want to pull out the single pack of cigarettes I keep in my person at all times and pull out
the one cigarette and fully light it in his shop and be like what a narc.
Do that.
I'm going to need a grit check for that.
That's a D4.
Oh, that's my lowest roll or my lowest dice.
I don't want to make this like this doesn't feel a positive.
I'm going to DC six.
Oh god damn it.
I was one off exploding.
Okay.
Yeah.
You you choke on that cigarette for sure.
Yeah, definitely.
It is it is nasty.
What a what a narc.
Choke on a cigarette in somebody's shop.
Excuse me.
Just got to walk out of the shop and hack his looks out up front to come back in sweating
profusely.
He has kind of fucked up.
He's got tears going down his face.
You hear him.
He's cracking the fuck up inside.
That's got to get me something.
Give me a fucking ticket.
Oh yeah.
Give me a ticket.
Sorry.
Do you like has Tony ever like like taken a drag off the cigarette before he's put it
up to his lips.
Okay.
He was feeling real confident in this moment.
I respect he respects the confidence.
Tony understands that he has to go the mile for strangers and he's he's good enough at
what he does to full children and other kids his age but like adults are looking for a little
bit of extra proof and way overestimated his abilities at this moment.
You can go back in.
It asked you could see after it's still kind of like so like if you want to like hold up
a picture of like any like alcohol you keep around the store just because like I don't
know it's like a cool thing to do.
So you're like you're like a whole guy like I can't there's nothing to narc on you about
for like having alcohol in a store you own right.
Yeah.
That's a thing that makes sense.
Yeah.
Because it's like normal shit.
Yeah.
It's like normal stuff.
It's just normal shit.
It's legal.
100 percent.
It's legal.
It's it's legal.
You know that a lot they say if you ask if somebody's a cop they have to legally require
to take a step said it is like he's cool.
I'd like I know he's cool.
No it's OK.
It's OK Frank.
Ask me if I'm a cop.
Go ahead ask me.
I'm not a cop.
Asters fully like at this point just goes up and swear on my comb not a cop as you all
are having he's like are you sure you're not a fucking cop swear I'm not a cop.
I'm not like fully having this conversation.
Astor goes by Macass register and pulls out like a fucking bottle of whiskey.
It is like here.
And like hands at the Frank and Frank is like you're not supposed to like we keep that shit
on the down low as cool Frank is cool.
Let's let's just let I'm gonna picture I'll blur out your face like in post.
I like no no no no no keep that shit public.
Good press.
Fantastic Frank's energy is similar to Danny DeVito's character.
And always sunny.
I love it.
It is it is that love this that chaos.
Tony definitely has like a deep appreciation for people that are just who they are like
their core like so much of his day is spent like fucking sucking up and being friends
with people who are just the fakest bitches in the entire world and Frank is unapologetically
Frank this man is salt of the fucking earth.
Yes and he holds up a good guy just is who he is and smiles and like it's like
it's like okay in this moment can I look for the flash on the camera to try and blind him
temporarily so Astrid can swipe that shit.
Oh you want to like yes.
Okay I want to ask her to grab because she said he's got multiple bottles I would love
to like turn on the flash blind him temporarily and then have Astrid swipe the bottle from
underneath the gas register.
Okay cool okay yeah please don't ask me to do a brain shag.
Please don't ask me to do a brain shag.
You're learning how to use a fucking camera.
It's not going to be high.
The disposable cameras do not have a lot of buttons on them.
It's like literally there's like three maybe.
No that's fine that's fine.
So this is going to be like a DC four brain shag.
Oh my god.
I'm spending two and re-rolling it.
I'm using my lucky feet.
Okay okay.
What did you say it was?
A four.
Oh I'm fucking having it.
God I'm an idiot.
Unless you want to call it a snap decision that's up to you.
No I mean I'm not going to.
This is it seems wildly complicated but you know it feels it's a plan you made so it's
not a snap decision.
What would I have rolled?
Thank fuck.
Thank fuck I decided to do that in post.
You take a picture this man is having the time of his life he goes nah take some more.
How many pictures I will say this for every picture you take will be a second that it
gives Astrid to swipe the bottle.
We have 27 we're only three down.
I'll burn another four.
Yeah perfect Astrid is fully good I'm going to go ahead and do a this feels like a light
check.
One two three four.
For her this is not because you're giving her basically cover this is a little bit of
like 5E shit in here.
Yeah baby.
You're essentially giving her the help action.
So there's not really rolling advantage in this system but I'm just going to lower the
DC.
Yeah that feels probably like a like an eight.
Yeah like an eight.
Her half is a 12 or her full is a 12.
So she is very feasible.
She also has I think she has two adversity tickets as well and she gets a plus one to
or no not a plus one to play but.
What does she get.
Three.
Okay you can get up to a five what does she need.
Oh my God what did I say.
Yeah.
Okay well I can only get her up to a seven.
Let me see what I can do.
There's anything we can do dog unless you got a feet over there that like or a strength
or a strength.
I can use I can use this.
I have something called a treasure hunter I can use an adversity ticket to find a useful
item.
I feel like in this moment.
Call it the booze.
A bottle of booze is a useful item.
Call it the booze.
Cool.
Call the booze.
She swipes the booze.
Yeah.
It's also a thing of I don't think Frank's gonna be she doesn't think that Frank is gonna
be that mad.
It right.
If a bottle comes up missing or if it's like Astrid trying to get a bottle.
Yeah so she swipes that and immediately like fucking pockets it into like a tote bag
or whatever bag she has and Frank is so lost in like getting these pictures done.
He's having the time of his fucking life calling it.
He's like when you get these developed or like I have four I'm done taking pictures
I'm not getting condom and running my whole camera. No fair. I mean like when you get these developed you bring them back here, right?
100% cool. Yep. I'm framing this shit hand-deliver them. I look great. You look fantastic
I mean, unfortunately, I can't tell you if you look fantastic because they have to be like developed
I know how disposable cameras. It's all very new to me
Really you look like you're out of the fucking 50s man. It's more of like an aesthetic thing
Like it looks cool. I feel cool, but like I don't
Right like if you dress up like a clown you don't necessarily like learn like you don't just know how to be like in the circus
Yeah, no, okay. You see and when I'm it's like it's like dress up, but like cool. Okay. Yeah
Cool dress up. Are you gonna like buy anything?
What is there to buy?
Anything in the store in the direction of something that's cool
Not not low-level cool Frank cool cool cool cool cool. Okay, the coolest thing you got the shop and I'll consider it
He takes you over to what looks like a hybrid
I'm gonna take off my day bag and set it on the counter and slide it in Astros direction
Perfect um he takes you over and is showing you this wall of
Postcards from parallel dimensions and it's just like they're normal postcards with me, but they're like that's what he takes me to
He like walks you past those there's also like I thought it was stop
Like Frank you could give me more than that man
There's like a wall of like monkey paws and then there's like like so, you know, there's like the lucky rabbit's foot, right?
Yep, there are so many different types of like creatures feet like critter feet like critter feet
I'm talking there are like it's uncomfortable
And I'm gonna let your imagination go crazy. Yeah, what the rest of them are what do you think he takes you to?
Oh
Tony's got a real interesting sense of what cool is so I feel like
Maybe he takes me over to like some dusty ass book that in his mind is like the pinnacle of coolness
He's like I dug this shit out of wherever and like the fucking 40s
Completely over Tony's head. This is okay. It takes me to a book. Cool. It's this dusty ass book
Maybe it's like that up in a display case or something looks like
He's like it does he like fully takes it out of the display case
It this is like a man who despite the fact that everything in here is like on display doesn't seem to give a shit about it
Um, and it's like fully hands it to you and he's like I'm pretty sure this shit's in Russian
He was he's telling you know, there's this night. I was fucking blackout drunk, right?
So I'm going downtown and I'm like and he like launches into this fucking insane story about flip through it idly while he just drones
Yeah, you're like flipping through that shit. He's talking about how he like
At one point you tune in and he's talking about how he fought a bear and you're like that doesn't
Soon and right back out clock. Yep. It's just like you come in at the oddest times and he was like
and so then I had to choke a bitch and
Then it like flashes forward again, and you're like and I only did like three days in County Jail
So it wasn't even like it was a real felony, you know
How much is the book?
How much is the book? It's like out of curiosity, you know, you got
Call it ten bucks
15
10 and I get these pictures to you within the week
Are they level with me are these good pictures? Yes best pictures ever took deal
And he fully like shakes your hand down to you and he calls over to Astor. Why I bought this book
But I bought it. I'll say it's a it's like a pretty gnarly book
It's it has a smell to it for sure gnarly book
Maybe it feels funky in your hands like it feel like you don't some shit that Astor would like
Astor would eat this shit up. He actually calls over to Astor and has like he's like Astor ring him up
I'm going back to bed
And you also are like it's not that early
But he's fully like 10 in the morning and like the shop is still labeled as fully open right
But he's just kind of like each their own man. Yeah, whatever is like fully called these so you see Astor's like at this point
She's like I don't work here. Just let him go. This is this is
A majestic animal in his own environment just let him
You said I owed you here's this weird-looking fucking dusty book
I just bought off a frank for ten bucks and a couple of pictures
Fuck what I haven't even seen this Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Holy shit
And she's like fully like is not ringing you up and is just like moved to like flip
She's like ring yourself up and is like show into the book
she's she's
When she's in her element and she was any worse of a person and he would try to see how much money is in the cash register
If Tony were any worse of a human being he would just walk over and pop the cash register open
And no dripped water on one of my really cool props. It still looks really cool. It still looks really cool
All right, I guess I'm not ringing shit up
I'm putting a $10 bill on the cash register and then maybe like literally taking a pin and writing something on the bill itself
I'm being like for the book on on the dollar that the on the Taylor bill
crazy, okay, um
She's with listen Frank seems like a money is money kind of guy
Fair enough. He is yep
So you grab that Astor's bag now has the whiskey in it
She fully leaves it on the counter
She is so into this book and is like flipping through and she's like holy fuck
Do you even know and it's like at this point?
You're kind of tuning out what she's saying because it's all like fucking gibberish to you. Hmm. She's talking about like fucking lay lines
She's talking. I'm gonna be posted staring at that fucking door
Cuz on my life if one of the fucking popular people walks in the store right now while Astor is in full nerd mode
I'm jumping over the counter. I
Am like sliding over the front of the police car this counter and I'm I'm hiding
I don't think there anyone's coming in. She's no I'm talking. She's fully taking this book. It is like going to leave
She did not ring you up. She's left her bag on the counter, but she's just like I'm taking a bag
then and
Like it's like fully walking like she works here enough and she's been here enough that she kind of has like a general layout of
Like where she is right is fully like walking and you see that she like bumps into a display and a couple things like fall on the
Ground and you hear like something break and she's just like it's fine
And she just kind of like goes over it is like with once again still like flipping through this book
And with one foot is like sweeping things under
Like a shelf and like sets it up right enough and she's like, okay. Yeah
We're good and like goes to walk out the door and like
I'm this feels like a check. Maybe don't read and walk Astor
Yeah, she hits the door a little bit. You left the merchandise on the can. It's okay. Oh, you know what?
I'll grab that. I'm getting Tony's just gonna scoop up the bag
I'm gonna switch the booze to go in my day bag because at this point she's leaving the only thing we came here for on the fucking counter
I'm not leaving that with her
objective
I can give her a single new objective. I said you said that I owed you
Congratulations consider my debt repaid and then she left the booze in the counter. Correct. Yeah, I'm putting the booze in my bag
Okay, cool. Um, so do you grab her bag for it?
I grab her fucking bag for you can give that back or like once you get outside
She seems to like register that there's light
And is like leaving her brain fog a little bit and she grabs her bag and puts the book in it and she's like, okay
That was sick as fuck
Yeah, totally you'll have to catch me up on all the super interesting things you just read out of the books
Anyways, we have lunch at 12 at the diner. Yeah, it's like what 10 30. Yep
Um, so so any other weird shit you want to do on the boardwalk or I mean we I mean my mom gave me like 10 bucks so
arcade games
Bears wheel
Miramaze I don't know man
What is Tony feeling like today I
Will say you can and this is I
I you can go to the arcade. There's a bunch of games in there
That you can play you can get the arcade out of the way
I feel like the boardwalk stuff is always more fun at night arcades not really changing the environment. Okay, so you pop in this arcade
Called and hopefully by the time we pop into board games
Jason will have tired himself out from sprinting up and down the boardwalk that I don't have to compete with him directly
So you walk into place called crazy Steve's ski ball and more
Sick it is you walk in it's an arcade
I mean, you know what an arcade looks like they I will say there is like one ski ball machine for every other game
That is in here like there's a fuck ton of ski ball. There's always a wall of ski ball machine
Yeah, each game is gonna cost about a dollar
Most of those excuse me most of those are gonna be three games a dollar
Astor's mom gave her a highway robbery 10 bucks
So $16 to spend for Astor
Some of the games are 50 cents some of the games are a dollar
And then most of those are also gonna run you about three rounds and I can go over the mechanics once we get to those games
But you've got ski ball Dan stands revolution claw machine pinball
Like an alien like shooter game called astro invaders
And then like in the back of the of the arcade
There's like an old little photo booth and then there's like like a fortune teller machine
Okay, I guess we'll hit ski ball first. All right, so the mechanics for ski ball
I modified them a little bit are gonna be so it's going to be a fight roll
Are there any other kids from the trip here? Yeah, there's probably
Couple like the gamer guys definitely here. He's like my attached to like a shooter game
I was probably a couple other like goth kids here cool. I'm being seen in front of
fair
Astor is fully like, okay
So you ready for me to kick your ass I'm ready to look cool winning sure, okay, we can pretend
And y'all head over to ski ball
So this is going to be a fight roll in a grit roll
And then we're going to multiply that by 10 and then we're going to add 100
Want to take a shot before we start playing a
Shot mm-hmm like of the whiskey we just stole
You're cool, right?
Yeah, cool. You're super cool. Fine. Let's head towards the photo booth real quick and then we'll take a shot
Fine. She's like this is like she's like cool. I'm winning this shit. Oh early in the day. I'm winning this
She's not backing down sabbatosh. So y'all go like in the photo. It's like an old-school photo booth
And you all can like choose to like put money in and like get a cute little picture
But it's just like a dusty old photo booth and you all go inside and close the little curtain
And I'm going to go. We don't condone teenage drinking sure don't
But I did make a drinking mechanic. We do not once again. We do not
Nor did the producer of this podcast student media can down underage drinking correct
But we are grown adults
We are grown adults role-playing a couple of teenagers about to make a really stupid decision correct
So if a player is drinking for every bottle of beer or shot of liquor past one
They are going to add a plus one to one set in a negative one to another depending on what type of drunk they are
So y'all fully like fucking pull out this whiskey
Um, and you don't have shot glasses. So I guess you're just like drinking however much it's wigs. Yep
What type of drunk do you think Tony is?
That's a great question
I mean you all aren't getting like drunk drunk during the day. I don't think I feel like Tony's a bit of a
Chameleon in the sense that like it really depends on who he's around
I would be cool if you're cool with it just rolling a d6 that correlates with one of the stats and then rolling it again
Yeah, just seeing where the plus and the negatives go. I feel like Tony's a kind of person that whenever he drinks
He is his personality more to whoever is in the room
Like if he's got a if he's got to put a few extra points in being a little more charismatic not that he ever has or ever will
That's what he's doing if he's got a like beat Jason in an arm wrestle
I guess I guess we're we're doing push-ups before we go out
So all right, so will that be six for me great
Um, just go from left to right then so flight or I fights one flights to yeah brain three four so on
Alright, what's our plus gonna be in today, baby?
Fucking fight that makes sense. I guess okay, that works for ski ball
I think Astor is less one baby would think about her personality. I think that her
Booth is minus one gonna be in to charm. I think she is gonna be a little bit more like
I'm gonna minus one of brains
I was already in an eight
It's not great. I think hers is gonna be a so a bonus and charm and probably a negative in her brains
So that's gonna take and how long does this last for?
I didn't really figure that out. I think that it'll probably be like an hour
Okay, right, okay. That makes sense. How many shots are video?
I'm gonna let Astor decide that
Astor's listen answers to cool kid. I've gotten us to this point
The first swig passes it to you. She's like
Jesus
And you take the second swig and then what do you do with the bottle there? You still like holding it?
Are you holding it out to her?
I'll pass it back to her
She's looks at you and then looks at the bottle and she's like
Okay, cool and like fully takes another and passes it to you fantastic. I'll take one more and then I'll put the bottle away
Okay wise
Plus one to turn oh
For like yeah, I was gonna do it for every one of them. Yeah, that works negative one to brawn cool
So two of my lower stats I have negative ones on
Can I see that pen you skin all right? I'm gonna be looking at a negative two brains
But a plus two to charm
What were the pluses that we get for being teenagers you get one in fight and then one in brawn
Okay, so those are the pluses for teenagers. I do not know you can see the pen real quick so I can notate that
So my brawn is actually canceled out
And then what was the other one
I'm fighting brawn fighting brawn so I have like a plus two to fight
The gonna be your score across three games
So if you want to go ahead and give me a fight than a grit roll
My fight as aster is gonna be a d12 and then my grit
What is her fight higher than me? I?
They are it is what the stats the game gave me me excuse me. Yeah, whatever
All right, well, I'm technically rolling with a 12 but it's with a 10 so you said a fight and what else fight and grit
Okay, well, I'm losing on the grit one so
I got six and a four my grit is a fucking double mind Jesus Christ Jesus sturdy bitch
Okay, I got an eight in
Fight and I got one in grit cool
So you're gonna take that number and you're gonna multiply it by 10 and then you're gonna add a hundred
This is the most complicated scoring system. What the fuck is what they gave me plus one and then I'm gonna do what with it
You're going to eight plus one times ten times ten ninety plus a hundred
Plus a hundred. Oh right cuz it's ski ball scores. Yeah, that makes sense
200 huh, I'm not that far behind I'll say that was the that was for three games
We can play again if you want. Yeah, but that's gonna take you down a dollar. All right, fuck it. Okay, we'll go again
Now you son of a bitch holy shit God fuck you have to explode on both though, right?
Yeah, I know I took that mechanic out. Oh this did explode so I get to roll again
Seven plus eight plus four is 19. I got two ones
I got two ones
How the fuck
So four times ten plus a hundred
So I'll do one more fucking I'll do one more game. Okay. She's like another round of getting your fucking ass beat
Yep, okay, let's do this beat
She's fucking into this at this point. I don't know if she's drunk
But this is fun for me to play right now
Madison likes winning at the ha
Madison likes winning at things
Or I rolled a four total plus or times ten
Plus a hundred okay, I exploded on one I got a seven on the other
Roll again
Fuck all right, so I got a five and a nine so it's a 14 so 14
Times ten plus a hundred right. I'm not doing that right yeah
I'm saying plus a hundred. What do you bet? 630. I
Must have not done this right I
Got a 14. I times that by ten. Yes. Yeah 140
100 okay, plus another hundred two hundred and ten
I'm bucking losing it you multiply number I hit zero excuse me. I added the wrong thing. Okay
What are you at 630
Told you get your fucking ass beat
In $19
She's it like what three three dollars she brought six dollars right
She had sixteen dollars. She just spent
She's been three I spent three yeah, all right. She's at $13
There's a couple yeah, I'm not wanting this one fuck me whatever you can play the instance revolution. There's a claw machine
Yeah, let's do some dddr, baby. Let's do ddr
So this one is going to be once again across three games and it's gonna be the same
Plus a hundred and then it's going to be your flight in charm. Yeah, let's fucking go if I lose this I'm leaving
I'm storming out of this room. I mean, I'll come back but like you better
This is my to my two highest dice. I'm working with a d10 and a
What was the other charm? Yep a six. I am gonna get a plus two 20 and a 12 plus one
You fucking win I'm gonna be upset what you get okay six and it's you so that's gonna be an eight
And I'm gonna add my one
Ten and nine I got 20 total
20 total
20
Yep, 300 you want to go again?
You want to go again? She's fully a little bit out of breath. She's like no, I'm not it's okay. We'll go again
That sucks that sucks Astor you real insistent on beating my ass and ski ball two seconds ago, let's do this
Meal is coming to you. Fine. Since you're so cool you bitch
I don't know if you want to take it but you got a three
Wow, huh?
Still the same three. Okay, so that's gonna be a nine plus three plus one. Oh, no plus two
times ten plus a hundred two hundred and forty
I'm at six twenty
Okay, adding my last one. I didn't add my last one three eighty
Okay, six twenty like okay. You got that one. Yep
Sure do you're gonna that one?
Fine, we will lose that next. I don't want to fucking um, let's try
Oh boy, okay. We took four shots out of that bottle
God damn
We're working it out though. Yeah, you think they're gonna notice no
I don't think it matters chance man. Let's do astro invaders and she gets like a little excited when she says that
Which is like one of those like alien shooter games. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so this is gonna be your fight role
Oh, okay, Monta's music that we can't play
Yeah, I was about say I don't know if we can like go in and edit what are these gonna be fight
Just fight just fight. Okay, we're gonna multiply times a thousand but the fuck. Yeah, it's like
housing right
What'd you get that's gonna be a nine this is working together though, right?
Hey, this shit sucks. Do you have something you want to send in to make it better?
Criticisms topics you'd like to see discussed or an advertisement you'd like to run
Maybe you even want to sponsor an episode if so shoot us a message at MC
460 at evansville.edu or DM us on Instagram at Crescent magazine or we'll never get better like these fucking guys
I yeah, well, I thought these ones are usually like you're both playing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it'd be teamed up
Fuck yeah explode a baby. Hell. Yeah, I got a 10 I
Got another 10. Holy shit
I got a 13
Holy shit, man, that's crazy. Okay, so 34
Suck on that motherfucker's 34,000 versus her 9,000
Eat shit. I know we're doing this together, but eat massive shit. She's fully like I she's
Like holy it's not like I'm like not articulated a lot. It's just like I mean she's at this point
Yeah, she's like a little red in the face. This is definitely like I'm pretty sure you all are what you all have
Definitely two games DDR. We've done three games of ski ball. We've done one game of Gallagher so we're up to one two three four five six
Six dollars total. Yeah, okay. What is the high score on Gallagher?
Fuck I I'm gonna say with the amount of times you exploded you yell yell over high score. Yeah, fuck. Yeah, what do we put it for the name?
Oh fuck
What do we put that's on you man uses this is your thing
Yeah, but like you're the one who'd like shot all the shit. Yeah, that's right
Well, what is it like usually like five characters? I think is what they do for these. Yeah, okay
Let's do ass
She fully I knew she was going to ask I knew she was gonna go to ask she thinks that shit is so funny right now
She's a little bit red in the face and oh for sure like
Upset that you won but also like I'm gonna just throw in a T. Why at the end it so it's a SS T. Why?
Asti
She thinks this shit is so she's like fully at this point
I think it's like a little bit of like I'm gonna try and take a selfie with the two of us in front of the Gallagher game
Okay, go for it. Yeah, baby. Oh, that's cute. We're up to eight pictures. Hell. Yeah, okay
Do you want to play any other games or do you want to go ahead and cash in what are the games are there?
There is a Z you did ask her video DDR
Ski ball. There's a claw machine
Which is a machine. Okay, cool. Y'all are going to the claw machine. What do you see in my jacket off?
What do you want in the claw machine?
What do I see in I?
Imagine it because this is just the kind of place that is there a bunch of like
Stuffy dolls that are like of the different like cryptids and critters that are like rumored to the area
Yeah, Astor is fucking glued to this. She's like I can I try and figure out which one asked her once without asking. Yeah
That would be like a DC
three charm check
She is a very favorite
15 she wants that fucking
It looks like Nessie and it is sitting like right they have bored walk
Yeah, the fuck well, it's not like really Nessie backward as they're like equivalent of Nessie. Yeah, for sure
Flight like sitting perfectly on top and like a very clear easy easy to get place
It's probably the easiest thing to get what do I need to get this is going to be a
Son of a bitch
It is a flight roll DC 15
Yeah, it's a claw machine. They're hard. Oh
Right
Fuck
All right, I can I can do I can do this I can do this come on
Come on. I cannot fuck this up, please
Christ all right, I got a 10
You only have one so I would need to get us to at least a 13
Fuck me. All right, I guess I'm gonna burn the two to reroll
Come on lucky feet do something for me, please give me a 12
Go ahead and add a mechanic into this because I think yeah, no you can use adversity tokens to help your friends
You want me to help now or well? I could only get us with a with a 10. I could only get us up 13, okay, so
That's still not enough. I think it's very nice what you're doing. I will lower the DC to 13
Sure, if we want to burn all of our tokens tickets, whatever the fuck we'll call it call it 13
Okay, cool, then you were able to make that I love the idea that like I know it's just barely
But I love the idea that like Tony is just about to miss it and having tried having tried to impress many a girl
At nailing the claw machine in the first try every time having like knowing the perfect spot on a machine to just fucking
Bang it on the side. Yeah, no fucking claw to swing just a little bit to the left. Yeah, it totally it totally you see
You it swings before you hit the machine
Like it felt like you you've not made contact with the machine yet and you see that it like
moves a little bit
Okay, I mean
people say
Lucky
that is
Definitely some kind of luck
Instead of aster clocking that this is like a weird thing that just happened and this like definitely like moved a little bit on its own
She's like just fucking cheering and screaming because you managed to get like one of the fucking things
Yeah, for sure
And it's just like fully like it that has gone over. I'm gonna grab it out of the machine
It just kind of handed to her idly and then walk around the pack
Of the machine Tony is not a fucking believer in anything beyond his own natural abilities
So he's gonna try and like look to see behind the scene if there's like an extra thing going on back there
Is there anything happening behind?
Bullshit
No, no, that's there's gotta be like batteries or something
Hmm, okay, the lights like still going like on the inside like it's still yeah
It doesn't look like it was plugged in in the first place. Can I go over to the the
Gallagher game and check the same thing. Yeah. Yeah, like is it all is yeah, it's unplugged
See at this point it seems like it's intentional like there's no way that this is just like an axe
Is there somebody like working the front of the store like doing the the gifts and all that and the prizes?
Yeah, there's like a fucking pimple faced
teenager cool red hair. I'm gonna I'm gonna let aster
Oogling boogal over the Nessie plushies having a fucking yeah, I'm gonna let her do her thing a little bit a little bit a little bit
For sure tipsy having her moment with the Nessie thing
I'm gonna leave aster there and just go straight up to the guy or whoever it is
It's a guy it's a guy and be like hey
So I have I'm gonna just pick up all of our tickets and just kind of slide them across and be like so I was I was over there at the
Clown machine, you know, and I'm something of a ways I actually won Clown machine nationals one time not to brag or anything
But I was just curious um
Why it was unplugged but like it was still running is this like a new machine type deal like is it like battery run or like
I don't know why it you know, it's plugged in
No, no, it definitely wasn't plugged in
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is he's gonna sprint back
I know it's gonna take forever to develop but I'm gonna he's gonna take a picture of it if it's still unplugged
Yeah, go for it. No, it's plugged in I
Bet it was Mrs. Cartwright. I bet it was correct. I bet she's trying to fucking gas like me
I bet she's following me around
He's gonna fully pull aster's side and rip her out of her moment of happiness and be like have you seen Mrs. Cartwright anywhere around here
Like following us or like in the arcade or like on the boardwalk somewhere
No, okay
Well the machine was unplugged two seconds ago where you were having your moment and
I went over there and I talked to the guy and he said that it's supposed to be plugged in that I came back to take a picture of it for
Proof of evidence and now it's plugged back in the wall
And I feel like I'm being gaslit a little bit and this fucking witch. I'm telling you man
She's like it's like a fucking go all the way me around
It's like a curse machine. Yeah, like a go yeah like a curse. Yeah, like a ghost or something and she was like pointing people earlier
And like out of the maybe she cursed people. I don't know what he looks at the plushie and is like you are so
This makes her she's so much better now. That is so fucking sick
That's not the point
Well it back in the machine was unplugged. That's not the point
She's like she'll go back in and she'll go to see if she's like it
I'm not saying I don't believe you cuz like I do I'm gonna unplug it
It turns off
I don't like being conned
Not only being conned icon people the teenager who's like over the counter like so do you want to like just wait a minute?
Wait a minute guy. Just give me a second. This is I don't know what's going on or what kind of scam y'all are running
But you know what it's cool. It's cool
We're rocking and we're rolling and we're just doing our thing. I told you I was gonna slip in
I know you were and we're just we're gonna cash out. We're gonna cash out. I have I'm gonna remember this place for sure
Okay
What do you got? You can see there's a bunch of different
Tony's on hens fuck
Tony's being gaslit
Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, it's alright. You probably weren't gonna win those anyway
What?
It's a very hard to get those those are kind of like a shot in the dark
What you mean like for the arcade or for the boardwalk for the boardwalk well now I have to well, yeah, that's the goal fuck
Yeah, anyway, so you see the there's a couple different things, but there are two things that kind of catch your eye
One of them looks like a like a switchblade
Sound like some items to me, baby. And then there's a magical item when I sniff one
And so that one like jumps out to you and then you can see Aster is fucking
Oogling this moth man plushie that's like sitting up in the top corner. We'll take the switchblade comb in the
fucking
Man, yeah, it's moth man ignore her. We'll take the moth man plushie
And he goes okay, and he gets the things down for you and you now have these switchblade comb switchblade item
Okay, you can read that off looks like a switchblade is actually a comb
But is also a switchblade question mark switchblade comb switchblade of course when you're using the comb
Part to look cool. You getting a plus one to all charm rolls for sure
But when things get rough daddy, oh
But when things get rough daddy, oh the blade will let you spend one adversity ticket to add a plus five to your fight roll and
Add a plus five to your fight roll during snap decisions. Cool
And then the moth man plushies
My ass kicked it's people. I thought everyone was going here for I thought you were gonna go first
So that's why I put the items here
This cozy little cryptid is a lot easier to catch than its counterpart when you've got this fuzzy flying friend on your person
He provides emotional support giving you a plus two to failed charm rolls
Even in duress knowing this moth is in your bag gives you strength during snap decisions
You could spend an adversity ticket to add a plus three to flight rolls
Isn't it fun designing magical items for yourself? It's it feels like cheating right it definitely does
I love that. I was really I just wanted to give her a moth man
Did we take a picture in the photo booth or do we just I think you all would have taken a picture
Okay, so we're seven then seven schmackles
Yeah, well, I'll spin the seven because it's gonna it's only gonna be one person for the photo booth
I'll say and I can also like have more monies. It's okay. I lobald how much he had because of how much you had so
I did not say the full amount. We're cool. Shelling. So yeah
Um, I got your stuff if you want I'll say we're getting kind of later in the day
Well, I want to go ahead and do your lunch and then do
Something after your lunch. I know you has the booze warn itself off
Probably at this point. Cool. Just double-checking. Yeah, I think it's yeah fair enough
I don't give a shit if it has or if it hasn't but
It'll probably within the next 30 minutes. It'll probably like get out of your system
Probably when you all get food in you
Can I do a grit thingy to see if it's how like if it's still in this is just me as a player going
I want another adversity token walking into whatever's about to happen into this time or knowing that I'm
Fucking feel it something but maybe I'll get it and maybe I'll maybe I'll have my plus and minuses back where they should be
Okay, what are we calling this?
You're trying to sober yourself up. Yep
That's gonna be like a DC. I
Got a four
TC six call the sex
Fuck yeah, I fail. Let's go
Failing is fun in this game. Failing is fun. I mean incentive to stay fucked up. So you all
You all kind of leave the arcade and you all are walking down to the I
Guess at this point you all are probably gonna go meet up for lunch. Can I encourage Astrid to try and sober up?
Yeah, I know I can handle myself
Stacy is gonna fucking clock that so fast. She currently has a plus two to charm rolls with her. Oh, okay
Cool, then maybe you know what maybe I'll let her I'll let her cruise. I'll let her cruise
I'll say she
She's like confident in a way that Astor is not typically confident. I'll take it. I could feed her drinks all day. I would
She could be this confident the whole day. I would take it. So she's fully like, yeah lunch is Stacy now, right?
Yeah, no lunch with his Stacy now for sure. Cool. Let's go and it's fully like leading the way
Can I check out the picture we got from the booth? Yeah, you pull it out. It's a it's a pretty cute picture of you guys
It definitely started going off before
You all realized like you'd leaned on the button
Like the first one is definitely like you all looking through the bag and like you have the bottle of whiskey
Your hands making the shots like fully taking the shots
And then the second one on it is like you all being like oh like your eyes are like big and you're like oh fuck
And you can see that it's like y'all are like a little bit blurry because y'all are like doings like turning and everything
Frazzled and then couple of frazzled the third one is like
You all don't have faces
It's like
cursed like no you just don't have like someone has airbrushed out your facial features
First cool
And shop is broken the bottom one is just
You will we're definitely in the photo booth, but you are not in the bottom picture. It's like the booth is empty
But you all were very much in the booth the whole time
Knowing how far off the deep end Astor is gonna go if I show her this picture in this moment
I'm gonna save this for after the video
This picture on this moment. I'm gonna save this for after lunch
That might be the move. Yep. I'm gonna just slip that in the bag
Actually, no fuck that I refuse to get gas lit by this arcade
I'm gonna take a picture of the pictures with the fucking disposable camera and then I'm gonna put it in the bag
Okay, go for it fuck that so you all make your way to the doo-wop diner. It's right sabotaging me
It's like a very 50s diner. You can see that
Stacey and the Jays have already kind of like gather around there's like a big corner booth
Where lots of people are sitting or like lots of people are able to sit and they're
Yeah, and they're all kind of like gathered around and eating and everything
Awesome
Trying to decide if I want to grab food to sober up or if I want to go straight to Stacy
I'm like, oh, like what are you eating? Oh same. I was gonna get the exact same thing
Do I want to risk this what is Astro doing when she walks in?
She's fully she has holding
The she's put the moth plushie in her bag for sure
But she's still holding on to the to the Nessie one that you got her from the claw machine
I'll let that be I guess
And Jesus and have my name on it. So and she goes up and I'm just trying to look at what ammo is on her person
For Stacy to rip into right, okay
She goes up and like orders a milkshake from the counter and like some french fries
And then just goes in like fucking plops down in the booth
With Stacy, I mean like there's multiple or like an empty booth
No, it's this is like a corner booth and like all of the Jays and like Stacy and her friends are there
Oh cool. It's like everyone
That's so fun Astor
Food or
Go without and try and smooth over whatever is about to come out of this woman's mouth
You know what she's got blesses a charm. I'm gonna let her do her own thing. I'm gonna go order food
Cool you go up and you can order whatever you want
Fantastic and meanwhile over at the table Astor is like she's how much money how much money? Uh, five bucks
Yeah, like four bucks. Yeah, like four bucks. Yeah, I'm down to 13
Hmm. No, I can't I can do math. I'm down to eight bucks. Okay
and
My little money section looking fucked up
Astor has you as you like get your food in or heading back to the table Astor is sitting in the spot next to Jason because it was
Like the clears it was either sitting next to Jason or Stacy
Oh
She has enough clarity. Hey shout out to her for taking my spot to be like I'm not gonna sit next to fucking Stacy
It's it's learning. She wants to sit next to Jason and more
sitting by Stacy
Is I walk up to the table? I want to take the opportunity to be like alright
everybody pose for a picture to try and get Jason and
Astor to like scoot closer together. Yeah
You're like, oh, hey like you guys are like just out of frame if you want to like act like you like each other
Yeah, Jason fully like in like he puts his arms around like the back of the booth
So like it's like it's also going around like one of his butts. Yeah, it is also going around Astor
And she like fully like locks that is like I'm gonna wink at Astor behind the camera and take the picture
She smiles and you can also see like
burning pictures
She's you want me to go through them. We're at 10 out of 27 you can also see
Stacy kind of like clocks
the
Jason and Astor sitting next to each other and doesn't look the most pleased in the world
But it's can I say something for the picture and be like hey Stacy like smile super pretty
Just like get her to look anywhere else. She's fully like lips hair over the shoulder and is like smiling sorority smile
Yeah, cool
And then you're able to slide in next to her and you all have a nice little lunch. Fuck you
Um, nice lunch, baby. I'll say with it getting a little bit later in the day
if you all are
Jason asks how you're coming across on the are you hey, uh
You prepping for those the the the strength game. Yeah, I was actually I was
Checking out the arcade a little bit and warming up on on some of those games
Yeah, actually, I walked away with this super cool switchblade comes which blade
Uh, he tries to be like
He's like that's that's sick as fuck man. Oh my god. Yeah, I know I know is like combing my hair with it immediately
I know
It's like cool or whatever. He's like mad impressed at this point Astor also pipes up and she was like
yeah, he also did really good on the claw machine
and
Calm down calm down
Refuse and Stacy's like oh he can you that?
And she's like yeah, he did what about it?
And she fully like you could tell she's anointed Astor, but is also like it's not negative in your favor
It's not necessarily negative in hers. It's just something that she like definitely clocks and files and she's like oh, that's so cute
Yeah
Jealousy, baby
That's what I'm talking about. That's so fucking adorable. Yeah
Can I lean into this and scoot into the the booth like a spot open on like next to Astor?
Yeah, it's definitely it it forces everyone to like take a scoot. Yeah
I don't give a shit Stacy and Stacy is like so Stacy now has to like take a scoot down. Yep, it'd be the end of the booth
And she's like oh
Okay, yep, I'm gonna like fine how far do I want to lean into this?
Because I know I've got I got Stacy on the ropes now. She's back pedaling. It's not very often that she's taken off kilter
Fuck rare. I'm putting my god damn it. All right. I'm doing it. I'm putting my armor on Astor
I'm gonna fully push Jason's arm off if he still got his on and put mine around
Yeah, okay, it's like how many be like excuse me Jason
I'm just gonna get in here real quick and then start also showing off the plushie
Astor looks fucking baffled
But is also like ah
Fuck
She looks confused. She's not saying anything. She's just like the fuck okay
And it's just like that's a development and then just like fucking scoots passing
It is just more excited to kind of show off for like sick ass plush
But you and Jason definitely have a moment where you were like your hands brush. Yep, and he just looks at you as
Like a little confused. I'm comfortable dog. Are you comfortable? I'm fucking comfortable. I'm comfortable man. Yes
What I'm talking about. Yeah, cool. Yeah, you can see Stacy's like a little pissed that like no one is acknowledging her at this
Specific moment and she's like anyway, so I want to hop it immediately cut her off and start showing off more of the stuff
That we got from the arcade is like fully like I want to lean forward on the table and try and position like my arm
Almost to cut off Stacy's view everybody and be like hey guys look at all this cool shit
We got
Astor's fully and this is like a
genuine I
I'm gonna do a charm roll for her. Let's say what do we think is a fair DC for her to notice
What you're doing and pick up on the vibes of that in a positive or a negative way?
Positive in like clock what oh just understand what it is. I'm doing um
It's not like it like a 10 maybe okay that feels fair
Six seven eight
Nine because of the drunk thing. Oh wait. No, so that was an eight and then a plus two to a failed charm roll
910 there you go. So yeah, that gets her up exactly
She like clocks it like what you're trying to do and immediately is also like starts a life
She's like yeah, he also got enough tickets for this mothman plus she too
It is like fully just backing you the fuck up in this
That's what I'm talking about and Stacy at this point is just like drumming her nails like on the table
It's like I also want to try and I want to try and make as many gestures and movements in like Jason's direction
Like I want to make direct eye contact several the times when I'm talking about all the shit. I just won for Aster and so I'm
Really trying to direct his attention to Aster and by cutting Stacy out of this. He ain't got nobody else to look at
Yeah, he's really like why can't we shit too? Yeah, you should you should shower how like hard you can hit the bell later for sure
Yeah, yeah, I'll be there. Yeah, I'll hit your bell man. No fuck
Like I'm gonna laugh with him
I'll laugh with him
And Stacy's fully like why don't we go ahead and get that competition started. Yeah. Oh, yeah
No, first I mean we were all having a great time
But like if you want to go ahead and get up and start moving we could do that
Yeah, I'm finished eating and she fully like there was never food in front of her to be the longest drag on the rest of my milkshake
Yeah, you fucking like it
She's like so fucking off kilter right now. She's like I am not the center of attention
Why the fuck are also they paying attention to this like she's fuming inside
So proud of Astor and Astor's as she's fucking holding her own this alcohol is good for her
We don't condone drinking
Underage drinking as bad drinking we don't
So the the group of you kind of get up and at this point you all are heading out to the dock games
I'm sure and so there's a couple like dock games that you're passing. I assume you all are like heading towards the string
Yeah, test her one. Yeah, I know I'm gonna fail this
There's a couple different games that you're passing as you're going by there's like a milk top or like the milk bottle knockdown
There's a ring toss. There's also a
Little game called like a love a meter that's like 50 cents where it's like you like two people put their hands on it and blah blah blah
I'm gonna assume that our booze is gone at this point. Yes. I feel like at this point
It's yeah, that's fair. We've had we've had food
So the strength tester and the like the little love a meter are right next to each other and
Jason works up and he's all right. Let's fucking go and he's like stretching a little bit
And Stacy's like kind of off to the side and she's like talking to me
She's like fucking serious right like she's fully like it's like a domestic dispute despite the fact that they're actively not together in this moment
But she's like you have to fucking win this. Okay, like it is like you can you're able to like clock the vibe of that conversation
Meanwhile Astor looks at you and she's just like you are not winning this
Yeah, I know I'm not winning this I'm really trying to think of some ways I can argue for a different check
Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me. If I had another adversity token, I was gonna try and pull an item out of my ass
Son of a bitch is it is it brawn and fight or is it just brawn?
It's just brawn
Fuck's sake is there somebody like working it
Yeah
Can I?
Walk up to this person. I would like to do a charm thing and basically try and
Charm out some information about cuz you know how like a lot of these like the things where you have to hit the bell
There's like a specific spot on the actual metal panel that you have to hit
Yeah, to get it to go up. That's why nobody can fucking win them
Yeah, I want to try and play it cool and be like hey, I'm trying to impress my girlfriend
I can't point to Stacy because Stacy's with Jason. I guess I'm gonna point
Who's standing there fucking clueless about this machine and see if I can parse out like where on the thing
I'm supposed to hit. Okay. Yeah, it's like it's like a teenage girl who's working it
Oh, I fucking got this. I'm not gonna say girlfriend. Are you kidding me?
I'm saying those a Prangle
This is just me flirting man. Okay. Um, she's like, uh, yeah
So, I mean this one's mostly relying on like actual strength
Yeah, no for sure. But like if not Tina, she's I should clarify this is like she like kind of college age college age
This you kidding me? That's down my life. I mean go for it. She's not punchin up. She's not committing a crime by going for you
I'm gonna let you know that at the gate. Yeah, that's okay
That's all right, and she's like
One of the hammers is heavier than the other so it's gonna give you a boost you don't say yeah
Um
It doesn't do anything for me
One of the hammers is heavier than the other can I mean she'll tell you how like it's the red one
right
I just need like a like a spot like is there like a spot on the metal panel
That's like a little easier to hit or like, you know
If you manage to like really ding like the top right of it. Mm-hmm. It generally like overrides it like it fucks up the system a
little bit, right? I
Really appreciate that. Yeah, you should watch I'm gonna make this asshole over here look like he's an asshole. It's my job
So I really appreciate it great at it
How old are you?
Anyways, you should watch this
I'm gonna go over to Jason. I'm gonna lie to Jason
I'm gonna tell him to hit bottom left and I'm gonna give him the lighter of the hammers. Oh
No, go for it. Yeah, he takes him. He's not gonna notice anything's wrong. Fuck. Yeah
I'm gonna like I'm gonna pull him away from Stacy for a second and be like hey Stacy
Yeah, give me give me a second since this is a competition between men
I'm gonna just you know some like friendly advice
Fully just scoot in between Stacy and Jason and put Jason in some like hey, so I want to keep this fair
I got a little bit insight information from super pretty girl there working the counter
She was really into my whole thing
but she said if you hit the bottom left and
This hammer I'm gonna grab the opposite of the red one whichever one that is this one supposed to be a little heavier
And if you hit the bottom left
Guaranteed it's a fucking ringer. You're gonna make Stacy over the moon
You're like wingman me right now. Yeah wingman you 100%
Okay
All right
We'll shake on it. Okay. Yeah, cool shake hands
He you've talked him in a circle. He's not really gonna fucking down there
Especially because he's also like in his head you rolled up with this shit for Astor so in his head
He's fully like yeah, no, he is wingmanning
Like a duo met a gaming though fuck out of Jason
So he's also like he's like yeah, yeah, you know like I'm pretty sure Astor's into that weak shit, too
So this works
Like fully like he's like I got you back, bro
And so you all go ahead and grab your hammers
So because you you've met a game a little bit. What is your brawn normally my brawn is normally a sex?
It is my second lowest dice Madison that is why I have put so many steps into making this possible for me
Okay, I'm gonna point out banking more on him rolling lower than me
You've relied on your charm enough that I'm gonna let you roll with charm
Jason's is also going to be a 20 in his brawn. Yep, so this is going to just be contested roles. Okay
I'm not giving him a plus to anything
Fuck me
Fuck I'll give him disadvantage actually which is not a thing in this game, but I'm adding it
Okay, cuz you did set him up for failure
I appreciate that and I think it's kind of a combination of you've set yourself up for success in him up for
Right, so I'm just gonna roll flack as it totally isn't my thing
That's real versus our dice don't bounce off. This one was an 11
Fuck second one was a nine. Okay. All right. I got a chance. I got a chance. How far up does his go?
What do you mean like when he hits how far up is the little thing?
So this would be a nine and then we're also gonna multiply that by
Oh wait, no, I fucked. Yeah, I fucked this up
There has to be a happy medium I did this system wrong
Oh
We'll see how high yours goes up
I just I figured if you want to keep it simple just because it's it's either hitting the max or not
He does not he does not hit the max. I figured 20 would be the top one would be the bottom correct
So he goes out. Yeah, like right below
Average it shows up in his average Joe and he's like not looking
The happiest at the moment and Stacy looks
pissed
I'm gonna use my comb in this moment right before I take a swing to give me one more plus one to this go for it
Son of a biscuit
Okay, I'm assuming this is a snap decision. Yes
Just way yeah
I'm having it in
12 and you got a fucking nine. I
and
That ladies and gentlemen is how you con your DM into winning a fucking game that was designed for you to lose
Okay, so you still land it it could not have been more planned, okay fine
But so much work into this and I made a cool prop that got ruined
I'm gonna go ahead and give you the prize which you weren't supposed to get and you can't even fucking read it
There you go. Thank you, Madis. You gained the tough strength
If you lose a combat role add a plus three to the negative number
You still lose the role no matter what but it could reduce you to oh minus one. Yes
So I think it adds some flavor to it having it fucked up like this because it's like very of the world
This is like the leftover shit that they have at the end of season that they can't get rid of because they still have people coming through over
Fucking September no fair. You see Astor fully is like
Like she's like cheering
Jason and Stacy look fucking pissed
And you know you get your little prize or whatever and like and if you what do you think the physical prize for this is?
Because you got the that's the mechanical thing, but like what is it?
They don't actually can't do a ticket. Maybe like a little shitty like fucking hammer keychain. Yeah, you get a shitty little hammer keychain
Fuck yeah, I don't care at keys
I'll attach it to my little day bag though
Okay, so Stacy at this point is like fully trying to be like okay fine fine
This is fine
And is like just fully trying to like get her like manic energy out and fully like is like yanked Jason over and you see
They're at the next booth and she's like just put your fucking hand on the goddamn machine Jason
And it's like the little love-a-meter thing and he's like what the fuck do you she's like just put your fucking hand there
And so they're doing the little I'm gonna walk out to him right when they're about to put their hands on and be like hey guys like fully
Just fucking hands over the booth and be like what's going on a little top of their hands
No, like oh like on like on the machine
Yeah, just kind of like lean in between them like hey, what's uh?
Let's go up doing a little love-a-meter here. That's it's cute. Yeah. Yeah
Jason you better try harder on this one
He he goes a little he goes red
He was like
What you tried to do but yeah, no for sure I got your bag Jason I got your back
I don't think that was legit man. No, I think it totally was I think I just lucky lucky swing
You know what people say about pretty people
What do they say super lucky? I don't think they say that man. No, I think I just said it
He fully is like drink
He goes to like walk back and like fucking like swing
And Stacy fully like once again grabs him and goes put your hand on the fucking machine Jason and like slams his hands down
And you could see they're like score keeps like going up and down and everything and then it comes down at a fucking
Let like a hundred and it just says strangers
And she's just like
She's like fully like takes a deep breath and is like
Takes a lap. She's just like fully like I need to walk away for a minute
and
Jason's like
It's not that bad
Yeah, it's like it's random chance Jason. Don't worry. She'll be back like it could be worse
You know you could try with me later
We can prove that like the machine's broken Stacy if that's you know, you just want to like test it out
Or Jason me you could go to if you want he fully like steps up on you. He's like is this about earlier?
I'm confused. What happened earlier with the hamper
Nah, and like fully just like shrugs that thought off and it's just like he was trying to figure out if you're like coming on
To him or not and it's fully like Jason so confused. I am circles around little old Jason
And asked her oh, I already I was about to have asked her do something, but I just remembered that the alcohol is worn off
Like I was gone. Yeah, I was
So I was about to have her do some fucking crazy. Um, I mean you still can if you think she's like if she thinks she still has
Like the leftover confidence. I think she okay
I think she still has a little bit of leftover confidence around a limb from you winning the last game of being like
Yeah, at this point. She's like we're fucking with them. That's our goal now
Yeah, she's fully taking that as what this is and she's like, yeah, or you know me and Jason me and you can do it
You know prove how faulty it is and is like making a joke about it
But like he like looks at her it is like squints and she's like no not like
Just finger guns and fully is like I I'm gonna leave the trash talk to you because that did not yeah for sure
I think that just came out genuine
Yeah, you got to lie like a little bit
That didn't work, okay, um, yeah next thing no, that's okay. I should come in real quick
I'm gonna like try and shove asked her like into the seat as she tries to walk away and then keep Jason cornered
So that he can't go up and be like what was he you get shy around pretty girls Jason
Fucking no put your hand on it then
I
Put your hand on it fine
I will and is like fully like at once again
Not the sharpest tool in the shed and asked her's like do not make me fucking do this
Esther if you'd be so kind needs to put your hand on the button
Put your hand on the button
Esther
I get fucking I had like a mechanic for this but I don't think that makes sense
Cuz I'm like I don't have their fucking I
Mean her charm is shit, so I'm just gonna go ahead and roll that just to see it
Holy yeah, uh once again
Strangers yep
Mmm at this point Jason believe or not Jason at this point fucking Tony thinks this thing might genuinely be broken
Jason if you would you stand up real quick actually you might want to go check on
Um, I was sorry. I was gonna say your girlfriend. You might want to go check on Stacy real quick
I'm gonna just slide in real quick and see if if the machine's still working
fully like he goes yeah, yeah, man and like stands up and like
pushes you into the seat. Can you give me a
DC 5 grit check
No, I'm gonna fail us
Yeah, I'll take a one. Yeah, you fucking fall my god you stumble
Whoa big guy, it's okay. It's okay. Just sorry. I didn't mean to like be in your way or nothing
I think she went that way. I'm gonna point the complete wrong fucking direction. He is like once he's like
At this point and he's caught on enough to be like you are fucking with him and goes in the opposite direction of where you pointed
But you have you have truly
Fully just decided to commit crimes on these two people
I've decided that if neither one of them are gonna let me win at any of my objectives then my
Soul goal is to make sure that neither do they I they're miserable for sure
And so they go off to fucking trip for me man. Whatever direction they go to
I pumped the cool kids you fucking succeeded for sure
Um, I guess for shits and giggles. I'm gonna put my hand on the button go for it
Astor still has her hand on and is fully at this point not even paying attention to the fact that she has her hand on it
And is like full in an opposite direction like not paying attention
What'd you get I got a nine okay? Okay?
Not bad it pops up and it says pop you love
Sorry, that's an 11. Oh an 11. Yeah, my bad
My bad you're good
Okay
Okay, no that pops up and that says fairy tale romance
Yeah, see I was telling him it wasn't it wasn't broken I
Mean I I like I would say it is cuz like what yeah, I meant that the other way around
Yeah, cool. It spits out a little token
Just because I've already printed those hell. Yeah, baby
It's meant to be a loyalty trait to each other
So every time you use an adversity. Oh fuck. Yeah, I am constantly saving her
Let's go which
It's getting pretty late so you also probably start heading back
To the campsite. Yep
Because Sun is starting to go to be Jason or
Stacy, yeah, no idea where they are at this point, but y'all make your way back to
The camp and at this point it's it's getting pretty late. You all can like
You definitely hear them talking about the party and everything which is like still a thing that is happening
and kind of like hyping that up and
At this point Astor's like got the fucking bottle of whiskey. So she's like I'm rolling the fuck up with this
Yeah, why don't you why don't you go do a little recon in the cabin with Stacy and whoever the fuck else?
I'm gonna go pop over back into my cabin and a little bit of
Like some more some nicer clothes something that I haven't been walking in all day
Yeah, no fair enough
So you all split directions
Astor goes off to the cabin. Yeah, you go up to yours. There's this
I'm assuming you change into your new clothes and everything. Yep. I guess not new clothes, but change of clothes
It's yeah, it's literally almost the exact same outfit. Yeah, like it's like one for one the same t-shirt
But like maybe a different cut around the neck same pants like a V-neck. Yep
These pants have like a tiny tiny rips in them or the other ones were like zero rips at all
No, they're so different. I go from like fucking the little walking Nike shoes
To like a pair of Adidas that are just a little bit like stained
Have a little bit of personality to them. No, it's a character choice. It's character choice
You see at this point people are like there's like the campfire
All of the chaperones and adults have fully fucked off at this point
It's kind of like an open secret that everyone throws this party and like the teenagers get drunk and blah blah blah
and
You you head back out to the party area and you can see Jason's already out there
He kind of like looks at you
It is definitely like clocks that you're here and just kind of like layers a little bit as he's like setting up all of the like
beer that he's brought
finger guns
And you can see
Astor or the girls start like coming out of their cabin
So it's like all the prep girls and everything
Tell me we're walking a little bit into the woods. Yeah, no, it's not like okay. Yeah, no, this is like a little bit away
You sound like they were setting up like fucking beers in the middle of the cabins
No, the counselors are like a rock throwaway. No, the counselors are like pretty far away at this point
Fantastic out in like a little clearing
And people are already starting to like crack one open. Yep having a good time
the the preppy girls come out and
Like I think most of them are most people are in the same outfits that they were wearing
So this is like an odd thing that you changed but at this point Astor's also like you
There was a whole new fit bought for this
So she also comes rolling out a little bit after and like the outfit that you all bought from Goodwill
with their fucking little
The the little athletic top and the little tennis skirt and everything I'm manifesting a portable speaker
Go for it. You've got a fucking speaker
Yep, because you all can't see what I'm doing. I burned two more of my adversity tokens for the prepared feature
I pull out a tiny little JBL speaker. I don't need Wi-Fi to have all the downloaded music. I have on my phone
I'm gonna walk up fully in view with one handle of whiskey and then the speaker on the other and be like well
I guess the party showed up. Sorry. I was fashionably late and do like a little spin
Yeah, and this is about the same time that like Astor's rolling up and she's got like
The fit on from before yeah has her glasses off in the very like 80s like tropey way
She's a different person. Yeah, she's cute
I didn't know she could look pretty and you can see that Stacey
Like fully clocks her outfit and kind of like smiles a little bit and then just like fucks sake. She's doing
Evil man, but Jason like looks at her significantly longer than he did before
And very much she's like it's she's stumbling a little bit to walk. She can't see very well
She's not wearing fucking glasses. I will scoot on over and help her get to the campfire and make direct eye contact with Jason
The other bottle of whiskey and Jason's just kind of like like he's talking to Stacey
But it's fully like Stacey's back as to you all and so he's like watching you
I'm gonna lean over to Astor and be like pretend I said something really funny and laugh
Yeah
Give her like a little bit of a like a shove like a friendly like oh, yeah stop and then like
Direct eye contact Jason
With a smile on a finger again. I don't know how the fucking movies. I cannot see shit. Okay, just keep walking
Okay, keep walking forward cool
This feels weird, right? Yeah, it's all right
Okay, like I can't tell if they like wanna fight us
Or I don't know why like whatever the or is
Fair enough, okay
You all kind of roll out odds are we get to play seven minutes in heaven
I'll say yeah, so everyone's like pulling out their bottles or like everyone's like the drinks are going around
The party's fully started
Stacey kind of comes up to Astor at one point while like other people are like getting their beers and some she's like
Oh, am I a bottle am I close to this as this happens?
I I think Tony's wherever he wants to be and I think Tony's gonna try and hang around Astor long enough for Astor to get
Situated at someplace in the party
Because Stacey has this fucking routine every time Astor walks into a place for the first time
She goes out of her goddamn way to make her life miserable
So I want to try and stick around Astor long enough to make sure that Stacey doesn't get a punch in
Mm-hmm. You've had a great day. I'm not letting her win
She just kind of comes up and she's like oh you got that bottle. I'm impressed is equally about
Winning and looking cool as it is making sure that we don't take any else today
You're fair enough. I y'all have done pretty fucking solid so far. Yes. We have you've been carrying this partners and crying baby
and she like
Hands or she like holds her hand out
Like for Astor to hold to like the bottle over and she does and Astor does it like unblinking eye contact where she assumes
Disaster have the one that we've taken shots out of her like the one like the new one that I took from stash
I think it would be the one that they've taken shots of fantastic
That's great. That's fantastic. Cool. So she hands that over. She's like sorry. It's a little bit light, you know
Had to have fun today somehow
And Stacey's just fully like you were like fucking
Like thrown the fuck off at the idea that Astor like has drank the whiskey earlier
And Tony is gonna insert himself and kind of like throw his arm loosely around Astor be like yeah
I was I was actually a little don't tell Jason this but I was like a little univariated when I
Beat him on the on the hammer thing, but like you don't have to tell him that I don't want to hurt his feelings or anything
Yeah, for sure
Just imagine how good I'd be sober
You
She's fully at this point. She's like trying to clock
Whatever the fuck your vibe is she was like I feel I'd like she had a little bit of grounding of like
I guess Tony has moved past learning and it's just I'm better than you it's it's she's
Baffled by your fucking energy. I think Tony's new objective is to just dethrone Stacy
Feels like the fuck over it is it is chaos
Um, but you can also see that she like
looks at Astor again and says you look really good love the outfit and
Kind of goes back again, and she's like alright everyone
Let's play a game and is like kind of calling everyone over and people have started like
Taking drinks and stuff so you can choose to take some shots or have some beer blah blah blah blah as they are deciding to play a game
So if you were to are you choosing to drink? Yep, cool
Shop for shop with Jason shop for shop for Jason feel like Jason's taking like at least four shots
Okay, he's like shot cutting two beers and then taking two shots
So that would be like the equivalent of about four shots before shots if you want to go ahead and roll to see what that is
Astor's probably not gonna do
Seems a little bit fairer
Do we have like another pencil or a pen?
I don't know if any of those work, but we'll figure it out. Yeah, let's try
This is a plus. Okay, we got a plus one to brains all of a sudden
We got another plus one to brains what the fuck is happening to you
What is that six okay cool plus one to grit think fuck
Especially when Jason's in this goddamn room
Astor is currently rocking a plus three to charm and a negative three to brains
I know I have to it's one plus one negative one plus one negative. So I'm canceling out on brains and
then
I have a plus one to grit and then a minus to fucking brawn
Cool listen my shots balance themselves out. So I only have a minus one to brawn
Okay, you're holding your liquor pretty well. Astor is a little bit red-faced
She does not handle hers as well, but once again, it's it's taking away from a 20 brain
So she's still doing pretty fucking good. I'm considered when she got a minus three to brain
Yeah, currently yeah, no she gets a plus to charm and a minus to brains. Holy fuck. Yeah Wow
That's crazy. Yeah
Okay, um so at this point she's talking about one thing I need her for
They're talking about like playing games and stuff like that. So there's a couple people and you hear them like a couple different games are thrown out
They've thrown out spin the bottle truth or dare never have I ever in seven minutes in heaven
So if you would like to kind of throw your vote in there
Say them again spin the bottle
truth or dare
Never have I ever and seven minutes in heaven roll a d4. See what he wants to do. All right
The first one spin the bottle cool start off strong
Yeah, it's so there's like the fire and then everyone kind of like moves off to the side of the fire
And it's like a group and it's at this point. It's I mean for people participating in spin the bottle
Which I assume Tony is yep
And at this point is just kind of going along for the fucking ride because you're also her seeing eye dog
because she really can't see shit and
There so it's probably you guys and then the J's and then the preps and then maybe like
One goth and one nerd. Yeah, or like no like the class clown. Yeah in there
And everyone's kind of playing the game and like as people are like do and spin the bottle and everything and like making like a big deal of oh
someone's gonna give
Stacey's also kind of like talking and everything like that. I did not build a mechanic for any of these games
So it's just like fucking random pairings. It's like one of the jocks
Ends up like kissing one of the nerds and it's like the it was the
Another girl with the cards had a girlfriend
one of the nerds and
People kind of like me are like ribbon that and then like
It spins and like Stacey gets one of the like one of her friends and she gives her like a kiss on the cheek
Yep, I'm gonna go ahead and get my hands on the bottle
kiss on the cheek. Yep, and like blah blah blah blah blah
and
I love that
She's also like Stacey starts like talking and she was like, you know, like she's at this point a little bit tipsy as well and
You all continue to play the game. I think at that point you all move to another game
Sure, so you can move to truth or dare never have I ever seven minutes and have a true seder
Give you something concrete to do and so they start asking each other questions and it gets to your turn
You get to ask someone to do
Stacey truth or dare
Truth
Oh, how mean do I want to be about this? I'm really I really do think Tony's goals have realigned over the course of this field trip
It has just been so fun
Watching her eat shit
Part of me almost wants to ask like so what really happened between you and Jason in front of everybody
But also I don't know if that's what I want to open with
Could also just be shallowing like how I like how attractive do you think I am I feel like it's got to be one of those
Two of those the only two things that Tony's mind do I want to fuck the relationship up more?
Do I want to like
Get something in there, you know what we'll leave it up to leave it up to a d4
We'll say to him below. He's asking about Jason. I three or above. He's asking about himself. Oh
Tony
Okay, he's asking about himself. Yes, Stacey. I'm just curious
On a scale of 1 to 10 how pretty do you think I am?
Come my hair as I asked
So nobody can fucking see it because it's black and it's dark outside, but she takes a swig of
liquor and she goes
Maybe like a seven or an eight
You know lots of room for improvement, especially with the company that you keep
and it goes to the next person in the circle and you see
One of the J's like there's another one of the J's to do is like is like fucking streak naked through the woods
And then he goes and does that and then you hear like a buff you hear like shrieking
And it's like inhuman shrieking and then he just comes back and he was like
I'm not doing that again and there's like he kind of like just goes to the cabin and he like calls it a night
It goes around again and then you see
Astor is like she's having a like a pretty good time. She's letting loose a little bit
She finally seems to be like my money is on Stacy asking Astor something
And it seems to be like having a good time and everything and then you see
Stacy leans over to one of her friends and whisper something and then her friend like little like giggles and everything
And it gets to
Oops, Stacy or it gets to one of her friends turn and she asks Stacy truth or dare and she goes true
And she goes what do you do with all of your old clothes?
And she goes oh, I donate them, you know, it's always so nice to help out the less fortunate
and like fully like
Stares at Astor and Astor although she cannot see very well is fully able to like clock that that has been said and at that
Point is fully just like she's like
What's your fucking problem I
Don't know what your fucking problem is and is like fully about to like start some shit and then like before that she
Can even do anything like she's like fully standing like Astor is standing up
And at this point like someone else is like okay, I new game. Let's play a new game
It is like fully at this point like people the rest of the like group has been like we're just kind of keep
Stacy on the opposite
Side of like each other in the same way and Astor is nothing but she is nothing if but direct
Yeah, she doesn't have time for social skills. She's trying to catch fucking big fucking chess politics and
Astor is going hey bitch. What's your fucking problem?
Listen, she's like in front of like her class
And you could see that like even Jason's like Stacy like
Chill a little bit maybe chill a little bit
And it like people are starting to be like okay, maybe Stacy needs to like drink some water
She's just like out on a tirade for no reason
But I think that you all move probably to before we move on to the next game
I want to stand up in front of everybody and go hey
Just like I had one more truth of dare
I wanted to ask Stacy actually just because you know
She seems to like really be eating this shit up. So just you know spirit of having a fun time
We actually spent a lot of the day together. So Stacy truth of dare
dare
What score did you and Jason get on the love meter today?
That's not a I know it's not a dare
Fine I dare you to tell the truth about what score you and Jason got today
She like if fully is like
And like opens her mouth and closes it a couple times then she goes
A
700 and you could see Jason fully like looks at her and is like
It he's not the brightest once again, but like before he can cover himself
Mm-hmm and like fully be like yeah, like that's what we got
He like fully looks at her and is like what the fuck like audibly and like it's enough that people catch it and people are like cool
She's not telling the truth, but she's like dying that she was like
Why why the fuck are you on my ass about it actually?
Anyone want to play seven minutes in heaven now? Yeah sounds like a really fucking fun time
I thought like at this point her friends are fully like Stacy. Let's take a lap
Like she's like I'll take a shot for you Stacy
She fully looks like she wants to fight someone and she is not a girl who fights
I just want to say that one of his flaws is betting. Yeah
It is read through so strongly listen she fucked around and found out that's all I'm saying
There there was room for me to be on Stacy's side right up until she decided to be the world's biggest asshole
Listen the trope was mean girl. Yeah, that's that's valid. I don't know what Tony's
You know gotta be a hope for some people. I'm proud of how evil she is a little bit. No, that's so valid
So you all move on to seven minutes in heaven. Are you taking another shot?
Yep, this one's gonna be a plus this time
All right, fuck it. That's when the charm, baby
Having a great fucking time Tony is yeah, my man is fucking swaying on whenever bench log bullshit
They have set up in the middle of fuck nowhere. Yeah, y'all are having a great fucking time
I don't know I've I've never played this game
So I don't know like how the rules of like the setup are in terms of seven minutes in heaven
I know the concept is you go in like a fucking closet or something with somebody for seven minutes
But I don't know how the people are chosen
Okay, cool
so the the bottle comes out and you could see Jason also like as Stacy's being like fully taken on a lap by one of her friends
And it's not like a very long lap. It's just like okay. We need to cool off a little bit. Maybe just a little bit
And Jason comes in sits next to ask her and he's like hey you can like rig the bottle, you know
And she fully at this point is just like kind of over it and is fully like
Well, I mean she's still a little drunk too. So she I'm not a little drunk
She is drunk and is fully just like yeah, but like I don't want to do that
You know man, that just seems like a weird vibe
and
And everybody is like yeah weird vibe and I think that you're kind of
So I think I'm gonna go ahead and spin the bottle Jason if you just want to scoot on over and stir
Fully coming in like fucking elbow or as I come
Can I can I make a flight?
Roll to see if I can if I can steer the bottle in the direction that I'd like to steer them
Yes, fan fucking test like this is a D12. I'll say everyone here is
Blasted pretty as am I
Everyone is blasted so it's really not gonna be that much. It's probably gonna be like a DC
five flight check
Havs these haves these baby
12 all right you take half of that
Where are you spinning the bottle at this point Stacey is also come back from her lap and is
At at the group. Oh, this is a this is a decision. This is a moment. So at this point
It is
The the four J's so it's Jason and then like John Jack
Can't remember the rest of their fucking names and then Stacey and then Stacey's three friends and then Aster and then there's maybe like one fucking nerd
In it's like I don't even know what nerd but just a nerd is still there
I went the first spin to land on me and then I want to make a real big show of it
Can I see if Stacey is like waiting or like if there's any look in her eye like see if she wants it to be her
If she's just pissed at it like I'm going first
She I oh I just want to see what she's what she's feeling here
I think truly at this point. She is like normally Stacey is a very calculated person like all things considered
She's she's mean she's shallow
But she's sharp. She's very like when she she's like a predator
She's my new like you let you know it. It's very like Regina George ask where it's like
I know always something going on behind
You cannot tell for the fucking life of you and it's like in a not good way where it's like there's a storm
And you have no idea what direction that storm is going. Okay?
Well, I mean only got two people that I would even roll it on at this point
I
Tony what are we doing? I don't have a read on her. Can I look to Astor and see what Astor space looks like?
Astor is
Looking at you. She's a little confused just in terms of she's like I don't know what the vibe is anymore
like in terms of like I
Think she went into this being like yeah
Y'all are trying to like wingman
Stacey and Jason and then somewhere along the way got lost in the fucking sauce and have like made mortal enemies
Um, right. It's also it's that thing before she was like, I don't know if they want to fight us or like
Or like or like or like so she's just like it
You know, she's gonna back you up no matter what decision you make and no matter what you do
Part of me really wants to steer towards Jason and then pull out my fucking knife and be like what's up dog?
Jesus Christ. What's up? What's up? What's going on?
What are we about? But I'm not gonna do that dear lord
I'm not gonna pull a knife on the guy. He's a fucking idiot
You can also wait and have someone else go
Before you if you want some time to think about it. Yeah, I will yeah, I'll put that off then
I'll wait and see who goes first. Cool. So it's one of Stacey's friends spends it it lands on one of the one of the J's
There's not really like much whispering. It's like, okay
Cool half of them have fucked each other or like dated each other at some point
They go off in the woods the group gets a little bit smaller
Again, it's like one of the nerds and one of the J's and they go off and then
so like the group is just kind of getting smaller and smaller and it gets to Jason and
He goes to spin it
and it looks like it's about to land on
Stacey and but there's like there feels like an uncomfortable breeze
Like just a very uncomfortable breeze and it swings around and it is about to land on Aster
No, come on man fuck's sake
What are my options
What could or can I do you can the bottle is midspin it can land somewhere and you can
Step in and say something once like the land has like spun
You can try and probably like reach out and like use
You had a decently high flight check you can do that you can just full party foul
Pretend to like stumble in you can like trip fuck up the spin
You can kind of you can disrupt it if you want you can let it happen and then disrupt it after if you're trying to end it
You can try to follow after if it ends up happening
Is there any as it's about to stop on Aster can I get any split second read on Aster's face?
Yeah
What is that?
She does not look thrilled party foul. I'm just gonna full in come in accidentally kick it and sit back down super quick
Yeah, cool Jason's fully like the fuck is up man
My it's sorry. It's just so many shots of
To whiskey man. That's that's my bad. That's my bad for sure for sure. Okay. Well, I get a redo
Yeah, and he goes to spin the bottle again redo and
You can see Aster is like
She's staring really intensely at the bottle
in a way that like
She doesn't have her glasses on once again, but she's still squinting at the bottle and it stops right next to
Stacey at pointing directly to her best friend
And Jason fully is like hey
Hey, bottle set it bottle set it man
Said it the two of them get up and head out and then it will probably come to your turn cuz yeah, cuz you were sitting next to Jason
While Jason and Stacey's best friend are off in the middle of nowhere
Viciously making out. I want to scoot next to Stacey. Cool. You do so
Seven minutes of conversation man. Oh Jesus
So it's what's up you having a you having a fun night. Sorry about it doesn't have to wait
What earlier like I would have talked to stay okay? Yeah while they're off in their seven minutes
Oh, I thought the game was still playing as those people were gone and people were like for the for this particular turn
I want to I want to talk to Stacy on the intermediate. Yeah
Yeah, so sorry sorry about earlier with Aster and like my comment about you and Jason
You guys are like super like clearly like super lovely or whatever. So yeah, he's great. Yeah, no
He's like
Fantastic, man. I mean he's got everything like a girl could want he's just uh, you know, he's missing a couple of a couple of acorns
Yeah, man like what's so what's what's up with you guys like how's how's that not the prior anything but like how's that?
How's that going?
You and you and Jason me and Jason. Yeah, like you and Jason
Guess like you're looking at him a little bit today and like seems like maybe you fell some type away
You know me and Jason have been actually super close and I at this point. He's like wrapped around my finger
So, you know, maybe if you wanted to like talk to him a little bit more I could push him in that direction
You're gonna wingman
Well, I managed to get him on Aster
She fully like you could see she's holding like a can of beer and it just
Yeah, this crunches crunches a little bit and she's like that's so
So fucking nice of you to offer. Yeah, I noticed
She's you know, sometimes the less fortunate need a little hand up. Mm-hmm. Yeah
You know, I think I'm good actually
Yeah, yeah for sure. And you know, I'm so excited to have such a nice bunk mate
Yeah
The same amount of kindness but you've shown me
Give me two seconds, I'm gonna see
I'm like, how do I come back with something that's not straight up like I'm gonna fucking sabotage like I'm gonna put a fish in your bed
Yeah, I
Mean that's basically what you just threatened to do to ask. Yeah, I'm fully aware
You know, uh, you might actually miss Aster I heard something about
Jason actually sending her an invite to our cabin
So I was gonna take the the other guys out for a late night's drink and let them have a cabin on the show
So you might actually end up missing her
Wouldn't have me a shame
Really what yeah
She fully at this point is like I think it gets to her turn
And she picks up the bottle
Like stares at it for a minute and like you could see the thought cross her mind of like I could clock him with this fucking bottle
And I could hint this anytime that we are in like a public and more public e-setting where it's like me and Stacy
You're interacting in front of everybody. I'm trying to play it up like we are the absolute fucking best of friends like
Come on man spin that bottle she's fully just like a holding the bottle and staring at you and
If you want to jump in and just be like, oh, I'll spin it for like
Um, she's fucking fuming and she's it's very like that trope of like the mean girl
Who's like slipping and losing everything?
She's gonna be the villain
Point I feel like Stacy and go on a villain art. Maybe this is just a fucking slasher pick instead
Yeah, she's fully like she's looking into the woods and like waiting for Jason to come back and she
Is like not like it's been past seven minutes at this point. Oh fuck me. I smell a hook
and she's like
I'm gonna go get that. She like that's okay. Stacy. I got it. I got it. She's like, no, I'm good
It's okay. I think he likes me a little bit more on this on this trip right now
Like we've just you know, I gave him a cigarette earlier and you know, I helped him with the machine or whatever
You see her friend comes stumbling back and her like
Like her shirt's a little like pulled off to the side
Like fully point in front of like behind Stacy and be like hey look there. They are right now
And you see like once again like Jason's like coming out after
Um
Jason that's my fucking man, dude. You see fully turns like is she's just like I
She takes another lap she's like I need to take a fucking lap. I need to take a fucking lap
Um, so it is your turn and uh spin the bottle because Jason comes and sits uh back down and is across from Aster
For sure. At this point Jason has probably gone out twice with two different people. Um, and at this point like people are starting to like
Okay, people are like occupied and most of the girls who have already like
Have gone through with Jason are like, yeah, I'm kind of like checked out at this point
So Aster is one of the only girls left. Um, who has not uh gone with Jason and he once again steps back in the fucking circle
Being incredibly vain
um
As Tony
Can I try and make the other girls?
It's not gonna happen with Stacy. I'm past Stacy
Trying to make the other girls. I think it's at this point
It feels obvious that like Jason is the tulliest of tools and they are beyond Jason
I'd like to say that Tony has done a very good job of making the spotlight very much on himself for this particular evening
Can I attempt to make them?
Um, jealous in any way
um
Jealous in what way like make it look like I really really went the bottle to land on them
Like I like just like come on like us. Yeah the bottom
Maybe you'll get like seven minutes with Tony like really just try and get them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you can do that
Cool. I'm making it land on aster. Or aster. Sorry wrong name
Who the fuck is aster?
Yeah
It lands on aster there's Jason is fully like
You've put this man through so many mind games
um
he
Is fucking baffled as because it was your spin, right?
He's baffled as to what your fucking relationship is with aster at this point. Yeah, it doesn't understand because he was like half the
Half the day you were trying to like set him up
It felt like and then he found out she was a girl today by the way
Uh, and then it's just like fucking boozled and he's just like
Fucking of course is like saying some shit like that
And asked her um once again cannot see and at this point she fully is like I'll take her hand like there's Jesus
Okay. Yeah, cool. I'm gonna go whole show of it. Uh, everyone is whooping and she was like, are we fucking are we
Okay, cool. Uh, she's once again fucking plus four to charm right now. She's a hamming this shit up
She's like pretending. She's like blushing and like being like, oh my gosh like
Uh, like really hamming it up
Hell of a performance the best you've ever seen aster act in her life
I believe it. I so believe it. Um, and you all head out and like I think once you all get to like because people have just been going in the fucking woods
Um, can I attempt to do a charm roll on our way out?
At this point my goal is to try and elevate aster's social status to the degree of tonys in this moment by putting aster and tonys together in as many
Situations as possible
Can I try and like play her up and like I as tonium super interested in aster therefore everybody else should be?
Yeah, yeah, and I just I would curious
I would love to see what the dice says on like how good of a job I do with that because at this point
I'm just trying to get aster to it like like where I'm at because I think it's just like that's where we're going with it
Yeah, um because she has such a high bonus to charm right now
Stacey and Jason are out of this shit. I'll also give you a plus two to charm for this
Stacey and Jason are out. We are in baby. What DC do we want? I'll say let's do this
How do I want to set this DC?
I think this is just gonna be like a straight up a sliding scale as high as you get what I was thinking
Yeah, like as high as um
It kind of goes um
And got to be the a couple baby. Yeah, go for it. Oh come on. I got plus one
I have a plus four to this with the comb go for it
Oh god damn
I mean in theory I could half it and just do 14, but
This feels like a moment to roll for it. It's like a moment to roll for it. Please give me a 20
Whatever dice gods are out there if there are any please give me a 20. I don't want to fuck this up
I'll say aster will also
Help you. Yeah either way. So this is gonna count as two
Can I use those two and re-roll this?
Mm-hmm. You can for those listening. I got a natural one
Which means I'd be at a five
So we're gonna re-roll that yep using aster's adversity tokens. She's got one more and she'll give you this
Okay, that's a fucking 16 hell. Yeah, um, she's fully 17 against that 17 and 19 wrench. Yeah. Yeah, she spends it
Um, it's fucking go so she
She's helping you with whatever you're doing. How are you doing this? Um
I
At this point picking up that Tony is one of the only other options that like the the popular girls are just waiting
To go into seven minutes with because Jason is just like keeps going around and around and around
I mean somehow always Jason
Um, I just I fully want to make eye contact with every single one of them and hold it just long enough that they think I'm interested
And then go to the next one
Just long enough go to the next one and then fully make a show of walking over to ashrad like taking her hand
Sorry, ask her
um
And then I
How bold is tony feeling?
I asked her like takes her jacket off before uh
Going out. She's like she's helping you out here. She's trying to like it. Yeah, tony will do the same
tony will take his jacket off
um
Oh jesus
How cemented how cemented
I'm thinking along a sliding scale of things that tony is willing to do in this moment
Because this is just as much about attention for himself as it is for astor. Um
Hmm
Oh wait a minute if you used um if you used one of those on me we're up to a 19
Oh, shit. Yeah, or no, we were at 17. We're up to an 18. Sorry. Yeah, um
Loyalty points, baby. I'll say
astor will
I'm gonna talk about the way she's going to help you is fully like as you all are walking off put her hand in your back pocket
um
As you all are like walking
All right, I'm gonna talk through a couple options. You tell me what when you're thinking
The extreme the most extreme option in tony's mind is to pull a half-ask is right here now in front of the whole circle
And be like sorry, I couldn't wait
Jesus, okay
The other on the other end of this back room is just doing like the hand holding thing
Yeah, so that's because in tony's mind
Everybody is watching him and by a proxy everybody is watching astor. Yeah, if there is more than just basic physical contact
I don't have to do anything else for astor. Yeah, I'll say I go with your decision
cool, um
He's gonna lean down and be like
Just go with it
This is gonna be really weird for both of us and is gonna give her a very half-assed kiss
And then turn smile to the group and then take her off into the woods. They're fucking like cat calling hooting and hollering
Um, like you gotta fucking like what 18 19?
um
And fucking solid um astor, uh, is is going with it. It's not as awkward as it could have been
Um, it's I'm not helps being five shots deep. I'll say I'm not fucking rolling to see how well that goes
Um, but is fully like five and four shots. D, baby
You know that astor is a very deeply awkward, uh, dorky person
But she's like fully going with it and fully rolling with it. Um, and you all like head off into the woods
Um, and it's definitely like a conversation of like
um
Yeah, um, so as you all are walking it's like very
I assume it goes kind of silent once you all like oh, yeah for sure point of like
Tony's gonna keep like looking back until they're out of ear shot and then like the second throughout at your shot
He's gonna be like
She's like what the fucking
Jumping around and like throwing air punches and shit like takes her glasses out and like puts it back on
She's like, I was like fucking christ. It's gonna like grab her by the shoulders and be like we fucking did that
We fucking did that. What have we done? We did that. I'm feeling
Like it's a lot it's like a weird energy of you will never be bullied a day again
Not a fucking god. I hope they see and jason. They're out. They're ruined. Shit
I king of the fucking hill and you just made physical contact king and queen
You know what I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it at this point
It's just we can do it in revenge 100 you're like hyping up having a great fucking scheming and you hear like a
Piercing shriek and it sounds like somehow like three record players going backwards at once
And then also like nails on a chalkboard and it's just every awful sound that you could imagine
Uh that's coming from somewhere like out in the woods and asters like what the fuck is that?
Uh
Do you think we have to commit to all seven minutes?
Like do you think that we have to be here for all seven or do you think like they'll forget that we were out here for that
Long and then we can head back in a minute. I mean, we're not actually doing like the
Uh, are we doing the no, no, no, no, definitely definitely not
I mean like because if you heard the same thing that I just heard
I thought maybe it would be cool if we just broke the rules again and then left early
She fully like still drunk puts her hands on both of yourselves. She says are you asking me? Are you are you instigating?
going on a going on a hunt
I think I think you're getting a little confused astor. Um, no, I'm instigating that we go back to the campfire
Fuck no
She takes off
Aster this is easily the greatest day of our lives
It is about to get even better
Aster come back please
She takes out a flashlight and she's fully charging into the woods and with that
Oh my we are going to end this uh the kind of first half of one shot that went way too long because I'm learning how to pay some
This is my first time doing this. It's totally going to be a learning process then. Yes, so we will pick up
It also helps. I had a full module to go off of and I had beats and points to hit and it was very much self-contained
But this is like fully pretty much fully self-written by Madison
So learning like writing your own stuff always in my experience ends up being like three to four times longer than you think it's going to be
So yes, so I apologize for the length of this
We finally hit the hook
But we will pick up with Tony and Astor's adventure
Um on our next one shot uh kind of like time-sick
And like five more fridays
Yeah
For like another two to three maybe four maybe five hours
It's like ten hours worth of one-shot content one-shot content. I better fucking enjoy this
Jesus Christ
Anyway, it's 2 a.m. Thank you so much. I have to go to work in six hours. I'm so sorry
Thank you so much for joining and we'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.
