1
00:00:00,738 --> 00:00:01,783
Morning, hon.

2
00:00:01,783 --> 00:00:02,778
You slept in today.

3
00:00:02,778 --> 00:00:04,224
It's almost 630.

4
00:00:04,224 --> 00:00:06,979
Oh Chase, you're never gonna change.

5
00:00:06,979 --> 00:00:10,845
The entire world is shut down with that Cordova virus.

6
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:13,838
And you're still acting like it's business as usual.

7
00:00:13,838 --> 00:00:15,218
Well, isn't it?

8
00:00:15,218 --> 00:00:16,738
Things still have to get done, ma'am.

9
00:00:16,738 --> 00:00:24,458
Oh, I changed your oil, cleaned the dryer vent, got all the loose change out of the
washing machine, swept the garage, sorted your gardening gloves by age, then color,

10
00:00:24,538 --> 00:00:29,048
sharpened and oiled your shears, rotated your potted plants under the grow lamp, and
refilled the bird feeder.

11
00:00:29,048 --> 00:00:31,062
Did you feed the chickens?

12
00:00:31,062 --> 00:00:32,396
Oh, I knew I forgot.

13
00:00:32,396 --> 00:00:34,232
Uh, gotcha.

14
00:00:34,232 --> 00:00:35,916
Of course I did, babe.

15
00:00:35,918 --> 00:00:37,521
And refilled their feed,

16
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:42,140
And I'm sure you already went for a run this morning too, huh, Mr.

17
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:44,312
Need New Jews every month?

18
00:00:44,312 --> 00:00:47,910
Seven miles, yes ma'am, and got breakfast going, obviously.

19
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:51,517
Aww, babe, you always take such good care of me!

20
00:00:51,828 --> 00:00:52,831
it's nothing, hon.

21
00:00:52,831 --> 00:00:54,722
It's easy when you take such good care of me.

22
00:00:54,722 --> 00:00:57,849
Don't forget about cleaning up downstairs too, okay?

23
00:00:57,849 --> 00:01:01,406
We gotta get all those boxes cleared out of the guest room.

24
00:01:01,406 --> 00:01:02,206
I know.

25
00:01:02,206 --> 00:01:04,650
You know how it is with my old race stuff though.

26
00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:07,102
I can't plow through that like I do other tasks.

27
00:01:07,102 --> 00:01:08,658
It takes time.

28
00:01:08,658 --> 00:01:09,820
I know babe.

29
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,493
That's really meaningful stuff down there for ya.

30
00:01:12,493 --> 00:01:15,166
It's important to you that it gets put away right.

31
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:17,669
Just keep your head down and keep going at it.

32
00:01:17,669 --> 00:01:18,560
You get it done.

33
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,693
And I'm always here to help if you need it.

34
00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:25,617
Love you too, my little chaseroni.

35
00:01:34,392 --> 00:01:40,009
Kay Come, you making progress on cleaning out the guest room down there?

36
00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:46,794
Kay Are you watching recordings of your biathlete races again?

37
00:01:46,794 --> 00:01:48,764
uh, no ma'am.

38
00:01:48,764 --> 00:01:49,878
Yes ma'am.

39
00:01:49,878 --> 00:01:50,752
yes ma'am.

40
00:01:50,752 --> 00:01:51,166
I'm

41
00:01:51,166 --> 00:01:56,898
You know we've gotta get that room cleared out so your brother has a place to sleep when
he visits next week.

42
00:01:56,898 --> 00:01:58,199
No, no, no.

43
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,860
Yes!

44
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:05,067
uh What?

45
00:02:05,067 --> 00:02:07,990
Yes, ma'am, I've just got one box left to sort.

46
00:02:08,078 --> 00:02:10,666
Okay, I know that tone of voice.

47
00:02:10,666 --> 00:02:14,144
Do you need me to come down and

48
00:02:14,144 --> 00:02:15,969
babe, I've got it

49
00:02:19,118 --> 00:02:30,918
Nationals 24, Nationals 24, Nationals 23, Olympics 22, Olympics 20.

50
00:02:32,654 --> 00:02:35,574
22.

51
00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:39,333
Kim.

52
00:02:41,806 --> 00:02:43,398
How can I forget Cam?

53
00:02:43,418 --> 00:02:44,730
For all side.

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,212
Kim!

55
00:03:01,817 --> 00:03:03,018
I forgot...

56
00:03:04,586 --> 00:03:06,108
I forgot Kim!

57
00:03:12,086 --> 00:03:16,564
Sarah, I'm gonna sound crazy, do you recognize this?

58
00:03:16,564 --> 00:03:21,113
Of course it's you and the team at Nationals in March of twenty twenty two.

59
00:03:21,113 --> 00:03:21,734
Wha

60
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:23,999
Can you name everyone in this picture?

61
00:03:23,999 --> 00:03:25,310
Ah, sure hon.

62
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:28,445
That's you and Coach Matthews on each end.

63
00:03:28,445 --> 00:03:37,238
In the middle are your athletes, Stephanie Curry, Carlo Malone, and Kimmy uh George.

64
00:03:37,238 --> 00:03:39,081
Whatever happened to her?

65
00:03:39,081 --> 00:03:39,689
I

66
00:03:39,689 --> 00:03:40,792
hit and run.

67
00:03:41,472 --> 00:03:42,346
Shoes.

68
00:03:42,478 --> 00:03:44,999
killed just a few months later in June.

69
00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:51,241
run down in a crosswalk and I just forgot.

70
00:03:51,241 --> 00:03:52,522
You forgot.

71
00:03:53,458 --> 00:03:56,483
I don't think anyone on the team has mentioned her since.

72
00:03:58,044 --> 00:03:59,745
Did we even go to her funeral?

73
00:03:59,745 --> 00:04:01,505
Did she have a funeral?

74
00:04:01,505 --> 00:04:03,706
Did I even send her family a card?

75
00:04:03,906 --> 00:04:11,030
Hun, why don't you let me take care of the box with your biathlon scrapbooks and tapes,
okay?

76
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:15,946
Take it easy for the evening and you can ask the team about Kimmy tomorrow.

77
00:04:15,946 --> 00:04:17,046
Yeah.

78
00:04:17,066 --> 00:04:17,993
Okay.

79
00:04:20,418 --> 00:04:21,978
Yeah, I don't...

80
00:04:21,978 --> 00:04:25,339
I don't want to bring this up with the team when I'm a mess like this.

81
00:04:25,339 --> 00:04:26,310
I'll,

82
00:04:33,858 --> 00:04:40,621
Compose my thoughts, uh sleep on it tonight, and bring it up in a more appropriate way
tomorrow.

83
00:04:42,446 --> 00:04:43,656
I love you, babe.

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,026
Can you tell me who is shaking Mull awake?

85
00:04:55,026 --> 00:04:56,354
Was it Morrison?

86
00:04:56,354 --> 00:04:57,483
I think so.

87
00:04:58,126 --> 00:05:01,868
What is the yeah, what is the plan here?

88
00:05:01,902 --> 00:05:06,196
I think the plan was go to the apartment and find the kid.

89
00:05:06,196 --> 00:05:09,327
Sure, I meant in an immediate sense.

90
00:05:09,927 --> 00:05:11,048
Like yeah.

91
00:05:11,048 --> 00:05:13,729
Literally, are you guys getting in the van?

92
00:05:13,729 --> 00:05:15,139
Who's sleeping?

93
00:05:15,139 --> 00:05:16,430
Who's staying up?

94
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:25,893
Is somebody you mentioned trying to carve the ritual while driving, which seems like a
choice, but certainly choices can be made.

95
00:05:25,893 --> 00:05:28,784
Who's who's driving, who's sleeping, who's carving?

96
00:05:28,784 --> 00:05:29,918
What's the deal?

97
00:05:29,918 --> 00:05:34,751
If you guys wanted to carve, I don't need to be carved, right?

98
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:35,846
'Cause I already got everything.

99
00:05:35,846 --> 00:05:37,932
So mole's happy to be dry.

100
00:05:37,932 --> 00:05:41,505
The only man who can sleep soundly is in the wheel.

101
00:05:41,505 --> 00:05:42,278
Yep.

102
00:05:42,278 --> 00:05:43,641
Alright.

103
00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:59,354
Miles knowing Magpie's potential ability to carve people up with first stage or aid or
surgery would suggest that if we were gonna do this that magpie would help us in the back

104
00:05:59,354 --> 00:06:01,890
of the van and there's plenty of space probably.

105
00:06:01,890 --> 00:06:02,942
I'm happy to come on back.

106
00:06:02,942 --> 00:06:09,905
It seems like a gross betrayal of a Hippocratic oath, but um yeah, I mean like we'll
loosen the wrists up, let's get to it.

107
00:06:09,905 --> 00:06:10,928
All right.

108
00:06:10,928 --> 00:06:14,804
So who's going under the knife?

109
00:06:15,214 --> 00:06:20,323
I think, Miles, you and I had kind of talked about one or the other of us doing it.

110
00:06:20,323 --> 00:06:22,187
Do you have a strong preference?

111
00:06:22,187 --> 00:06:24,396
Or rock, paper, scissors for it?

112
00:06:24,396 --> 00:06:34,510
Yeah, I mean I've been thinking about this a lot and I guess after the dreams, it's kind
of given me more data and context, so I don't mind doing it.

113
00:06:35,511 --> 00:06:43,514
but I just question the effectiveness and how crazy Bull has been since he got this in his
back.

114
00:06:43,514 --> 00:06:44,354
So

115
00:06:44,558 --> 00:06:53,580
Yeah, I guess my understanding was that he was already kind of crazy before, so that might
be uh playing into this a little bit.

116
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:54,211
Sure.

117
00:06:54,211 --> 00:06:54,471
Yeah.

118
00:06:54,471 --> 00:06:58,885
Are you guys saying this in I think we're before we wake you up, we're having a
conversation here.

119
00:06:58,885 --> 00:06:59,386
Yeah.

120
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:00,477
Yeah.

121
00:07:00,477 --> 00:07:02,118
What do you think, Magpie?

122
00:07:02,356 --> 00:07:04,661
I think I'm glad I'm the one driving.

123
00:07:05,102 --> 00:07:06,621
You're the one doing the cutting.

124
00:07:06,945 --> 00:07:10,194
Yeah, but I'm not but I'm not on a chopping block.

125
00:07:10,277 --> 00:07:10,648
I see.

126
00:07:10,648 --> 00:07:12,171
You're driving my life.

127
00:07:12,768 --> 00:07:13,908
into someone's skin.

128
00:07:13,908 --> 00:07:14,760
Got it.

129
00:07:14,978 --> 00:07:20,042
Uh are you gonna borrow uh Roger's um small V Gouge chisel?

130
00:07:20,042 --> 00:07:21,743
Is that the tool of choice?

131
00:07:21,743 --> 00:07:22,771
It's Roger's tool of choice.

132
00:07:22,771 --> 00:07:24,005
I don't think it'd be mine.

133
00:07:24,005 --> 00:07:26,627
I think I've got plenty of medical equipment.

134
00:07:26,627 --> 00:07:27,067
Yeah.

135
00:07:27,067 --> 00:07:27,721
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

136
00:07:27,721 --> 00:07:28,668
You've got a scalpel.

137
00:07:28,668 --> 00:07:30,090
We needn't be gross with it.

138
00:07:30,090 --> 00:07:31,170
Yeah, sure.

139
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:31,612
Okay.

140
00:07:31,612 --> 00:07:33,577
Eh Morrison, what do you think?

141
00:07:33,577 --> 00:07:35,360
Just do rock, paper, scissors?

142
00:07:36,066 --> 00:07:39,275
You know, I kinda like the idea of letting fate decide.

143
00:07:39,275 --> 00:07:42,645
Although you seem a little bit more shaken by the dreams than me, so...

144
00:07:42,645 --> 00:07:43,636
Either way...

145
00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:44,812
Yeah, yeah.

146
00:07:44,812 --> 00:07:52,172
I mean I had to murder like Douglas and some of my friends, so I'm a little shaken by
that.

147
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:54,724
Was Miles the one who was sedated?

148
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:55,885
Oh absolutely.

149
00:07:55,885 --> 00:07:56,556
Yes, yeah.

150
00:07:56,556 --> 00:08:08,215
Okay, so you did in fact become trapped in a bloody loop where you showed up and you
killed and they stood up and you killed again over and over and over and over and over and

151
00:08:08,215 --> 00:08:13,099
over and over and over until somebody injected you with No, smelling salts.

152
00:08:13,099 --> 00:08:15,961
We did smelling salts instead of meth.

153
00:08:17,055 --> 00:08:18,645
A missed opportunity.

154
00:08:19,042 --> 00:08:26,684
Well, speaking of meth, it is two o'clock in the morning and you've got a long drive ahead
of you.

155
00:08:26,684 --> 00:08:34,566
You got a grand total of two hours of sleep mull, and I don't think that's really gonna,
you know, refresh you.

156
00:08:34,566 --> 00:08:35,884
What are you guys gonna do about this?

157
00:08:35,884 --> 00:08:39,288
You're gonna start taking exhaustion penalties pretty soon.

158
00:08:39,288 --> 00:08:39,728
Yeah.

159
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:47,570
Um I've I mean I've got a long litany of helpful things in my pack for such an occasion.

160
00:08:48,116 --> 00:08:52,984
Most of them, you know, probably not illicit, but dealer's choice, I suppose.

161
00:08:52,984 --> 00:08:54,176
You're the dealer.

162
00:08:54,176 --> 00:08:58,511
I think Mole would have I don't think he would have stuff on him, unfortunately.

163
00:08:58,511 --> 00:09:02,235
But I don't think it would be out of character for Mole to have some uppers.

164
00:09:03,437 --> 00:09:04,828
Yeah, I but I don't think he's holding.

165
00:09:04,828 --> 00:09:08,042
I don't think he would be moving with stuff, so.

166
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:14,882
But he would uh no problem if you wanted to dope me up a little bit to keep going in the
name of the Lord.

167
00:09:14,882 --> 00:09:24,965
Yeah, and I I pull out, you know, a a little uh glass bottle looks very official and all
that and I go to task like, you know, uh mixing this is and that's in it.

168
00:09:24,965 --> 00:09:28,422
But it's really just a five hour energy and I pass it on over to it.

169
00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:29,917
Very good.

170
00:09:29,917 --> 00:09:33,428
That would fucking burn.

171
00:09:33,908 --> 00:09:34,918
Also it's a liquid.

172
00:09:34,918 --> 00:09:36,309
Okay.

173
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:37,709
I assume you know what you're doing.

174
00:09:37,709 --> 00:09:40,690
I it doesn't look like it, but I'll just hands off.

175
00:09:40,833 --> 00:09:44,824
Hey, God made man and man made this and now I'm snorting it.

176
00:09:44,824 --> 00:09:47,161
Who who is Yeah, okay.

177
00:09:47,161 --> 00:09:50,349
Who's taking uh legal stimulants here?

178
00:09:50,349 --> 00:09:52,092
Give me a yay or a nay.

179
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:54,170
Legal stimulants, yeah.

180
00:09:54,170 --> 00:10:07,286
Miles will stay slightly sedated with the fact that he potentially will get his back
carved up and then maybe partake after that, so

181
00:10:07,286 --> 00:10:07,912
Okay.

182
00:10:07,912 --> 00:10:09,538
Morrison, what are you doing?

183
00:10:09,538 --> 00:10:14,465
Hmm am I getting any rest from these like 30 minute sleep sessions?

184
00:10:14,465 --> 00:10:16,206
No no the opposite I would say.

185
00:10:16,206 --> 00:10:17,918
Okay, alright, fair enough.

186
00:10:17,918 --> 00:10:20,238
Yeah, sure, I'll take something.

187
00:10:20,238 --> 00:10:25,263
Alright, I want the three of you to each roll me a D6 and tell me what you get.

188
00:10:25,263 --> 00:10:29,807
Alright, so that was Morrison 3, Magpie 4, Mull 6.

189
00:10:29,807 --> 00:10:31,488
Got it, thanks.

190
00:10:32,289 --> 00:10:33,144
Secrets.

191
00:10:33,144 --> 00:10:38,016
Yeah, snorting that The fire energy really did something.

192
00:10:38,016 --> 00:10:38,991
Energy.

193
00:10:40,728 --> 00:10:46,781
Alright, so Mul you're in the you're in the van at this point, I would say.

194
00:10:46,781 --> 00:10:47,141
Yeah.

195
00:10:47,141 --> 00:10:49,042
Um, you're in the driver's seat.

196
00:10:49,042 --> 00:10:50,403
What's Maul's drive?

197
00:10:50,403 --> 00:10:52,858
Wait, doesn't Mul usually get a driver?

198
00:10:52,858 --> 00:10:54,118
Hmm.

199
00:10:54,425 --> 00:10:55,106
Right.

200
00:10:55,106 --> 00:10:56,354
What do we got here?

201
00:10:56,354 --> 00:10:58,826
My drive is twenty.

202
00:10:58,826 --> 00:10:59,393
Love it.

203
00:10:59,393 --> 00:11:01,218
Yeah that's so good.

204
00:11:01,218 --> 00:11:11,677
I think being s trapped in that dream spiral recontextualizes it it for me and I think
that I will gladly go under the knife in the back of the van.

205
00:11:11,677 --> 00:11:12,470
So

206
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:13,391
sounds good.

207
00:11:13,391 --> 00:11:18,625
Then Morrison, you've got a three hour drive ahead of you.

208
00:11:18,625 --> 00:11:20,196
How are you gonna stay awake?

209
00:11:20,196 --> 00:11:21,847
um what are you up to?

210
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:23,758
What are you how are you gonna spend your time?

211
00:11:23,758 --> 00:11:25,818
that'd probably put me to sleep.

212
00:11:27,018 --> 00:11:32,758
Clean my rifle, just take it apart, clean it, put it together, take it apart, clean it, it
together.

213
00:11:32,918 --> 00:11:33,458
Sure.

214
00:11:33,458 --> 00:11:34,191
Yeah.

215
00:11:34,191 --> 00:11:34,891
Awesome.

216
00:11:34,891 --> 00:11:35,731
Alright.

217
00:11:35,731 --> 00:11:37,592
So yeah, we cut to the van.

218
00:11:37,592 --> 00:11:46,846
Um I assume Mull is trying his best not to go over like really egregious speed bumps and
is trying to avoid potholes where he can.

219
00:11:46,846 --> 00:11:48,156
Yeah.

220
00:11:48,616 --> 00:11:57,941
you guys make it out of Shillan and you get onto the highway before you really start your
back of the van surgery project.

221
00:11:57,941 --> 00:12:01,814
Um I am going to want a couple of

222
00:12:01,814 --> 00:12:07,721
of checks for this back of the van back of the van surgery project.

223
00:12:07,721 --> 00:12:10,675
Um you mean you mean to say it's not a sure thing?

224
00:12:10,675 --> 00:12:13,549
Uh I do mean to say it's not a sure thing.

225
00:12:13,549 --> 00:12:14,766
Who had that question?

226
00:12:14,766 --> 00:12:15,807
I have a question for you.

227
00:12:15,807 --> 00:12:17,047
Do we get a bonus?

228
00:12:17,047 --> 00:12:23,591
Because when we stop to get gas, I pick up now that's what I call worship and kids bop
worship songs.

229
00:12:23,591 --> 00:12:25,542
And I will be blaring that the whole time.

230
00:12:25,542 --> 00:12:29,534
Does that provide advantage perhaps?

231
00:12:29,710 --> 00:12:31,155
or a disadvantage.

232
00:12:31,155 --> 00:12:33,814
I don't know that that's beneficial, my man.

233
00:12:33,814 --> 00:12:34,889
Okay.

234
00:12:34,889 --> 00:12:37,836
That is a hostile action you're taking.

235
00:12:37,836 --> 00:12:38,647
Yeah.

236
00:12:41,696 --> 00:12:43,178
Reaching for the ox.

237
00:12:45,486 --> 00:12:54,197
I think maybe from the back of the van, maybe the second time Morrison puts his rifle
together after disassembling it, he just like shoots the radio.

238
00:12:56,254 --> 00:13:01,316
I want Magpie to roll me a surgery check.

239
00:13:01,316 --> 00:13:07,339
And I want Morrison, Mull, and Miles to take their headphones off when he tells me what he
got.

240
00:13:07,339 --> 00:13:08,959
I got 13.

241
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:10,980
That's pretty fucking good.

242
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:11,860
Alright.

243
00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:14,021
Make a sanity check.

244
00:13:14,021 --> 00:13:15,102
You'd like to fail this.

245
00:13:15,102 --> 00:13:15,822
I did not.

246
00:13:15,822 --> 00:13:16,982
I got a four.

247
00:13:16,982 --> 00:13:17,883
Okay.

248
00:13:17,883 --> 00:13:20,424
So here's the deal.

249
00:13:20,424 --> 00:13:26,152
You are carving this symbol into Miles' back.

250
00:13:26,152 --> 00:13:32,044
And as you trace the line, you fall into a rhythm.

251
00:13:32,044 --> 00:13:39,146
And you're carving these with a scalpel, and it feels as though the scalpel is sliding
into place.

252
00:13:39,146 --> 00:13:45,427
It's it's gliding between layers as if it's following a path that it's supposed to.

253
00:13:45,427 --> 00:13:55,434
And you you you sort of you you grasp this um this path that you're following, and and it
just slips right out.

254
00:13:55,434 --> 00:14:11,057
of your hand and if you want you can force this connection with the unnatural if you would
like to complete this operation you can force the connection by and I'm scrolling as fast

255
00:14:11,057 --> 00:14:23,532
as I can we've got post on our side you needn't worry you may should you choose pay one
power permanently to activate this ritual um

256
00:14:23,532 --> 00:14:27,873
Yeah, can I just clarify on the the direction of what I think that I'm doing?

257
00:14:27,873 --> 00:14:30,504
That pass of a sanity check.

258
00:14:30,584 --> 00:14:35,205
I'm feeling confident that I know what I'm pushing for.

259
00:14:35,205 --> 00:14:48,289
You ha you you you begin to feel, yeah, the these you begin to feel yourself sliding into
what this ritual means and what it is supposed to do.

260
00:14:48,289 --> 00:14:53,234
You're constructing this this sort of uh like

261
00:14:53,234 --> 00:15:01,861
nebulous space or a shield or you're you're you're you're really getting the vibe of it,
but it starts to drain away from you.

262
00:15:01,861 --> 00:15:03,783
But you can you can force it.

263
00:15:03,783 --> 00:15:04,994
I I absolutely will.

264
00:15:04,994 --> 00:15:06,385
Um Okay.

265
00:15:06,385 --> 00:15:19,596
And I think maybe then there is a melding of tool and flesh and I feel as though I am
drawing with my finger and I can feel the touch of Miles's back underneath me as it is

266
00:15:19,596 --> 00:15:21,437
bowing and flexing.

267
00:15:21,770 --> 00:15:25,293
And I am lost in sensation for a time.

268
00:15:25,293 --> 00:15:26,014
Perfect.

269
00:15:26,014 --> 00:15:27,635
I love it so much.

270
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:28,416
Alright.

271
00:15:28,416 --> 00:15:31,058
Mark off a power on your sheet.

272
00:15:31,058 --> 00:15:36,221
Your maximum willpower and your maximum sanity are going to change.

273
00:15:36,252 --> 00:15:42,717
your current power and your current sanity or your current willpower and your current
sanity won't change unless that would lower them.

274
00:15:42,717 --> 00:15:45,850
Uh yeah, not the current sanity, but everything else.

275
00:15:45,850 --> 00:15:46,290
Yeah.

276
00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:46,891
Okay.

277
00:15:46,891 --> 00:15:47,691
There you go.

278
00:15:47,691 --> 00:15:48,392
Alright.

279
00:15:48,392 --> 00:15:48,832
Awesome.

280
00:15:48,832 --> 00:15:50,253
Give me a D4 real quick.

281
00:15:50,253 --> 00:15:51,522
Okay, two.

282
00:15:51,522 --> 00:15:52,022
Two.

283
00:15:52,022 --> 00:15:53,323
It's gonna take two hours.

284
00:15:53,323 --> 00:15:55,783
We I'm that's within no, fuck that.

285
00:15:55,783 --> 00:15:56,723
It's gonna take one hour.

286
00:15:56,723 --> 00:16:02,625
You forced it, and I really liked your um like touching the and being the knife.

287
00:16:02,625 --> 00:16:03,685
Yeah, yeah, okay.

288
00:16:03,685 --> 00:16:05,206
Yeah, we're we're in it now.

289
00:16:05,206 --> 00:16:12,308
Um lose a d4 plus one sanity and three willpower.

290
00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:16,169
You now know the voorish sign.

291
00:16:16,169 --> 00:16:17,969
Let me make sure I annotate all of that.

292
00:16:17,969 --> 00:16:21,414
Um the voorish sign and

293
00:16:21,414 --> 00:16:23,755
I got a one plus one?

294
00:16:23,755 --> 00:16:24,706
Yep, one plus one.

295
00:16:24,706 --> 00:16:25,226
So two total.

296
00:16:25,226 --> 00:16:26,147
Two willpower.

297
00:16:26,147 --> 00:16:27,357
Uh no.

298
00:16:27,357 --> 00:16:28,606
Three willpower, two sandy.

299
00:16:28,606 --> 00:16:31,220
Three will um no chance that's helplessness, is it?

300
00:16:31,220 --> 00:16:32,340
Unnatural summary.

301
00:16:32,340 --> 00:16:34,822
Oh, that's very much unnatural.

302
00:16:34,822 --> 00:16:35,422
Okay.

303
00:16:35,422 --> 00:16:38,534
You are you one away from adapter?

304
00:16:38,534 --> 00:16:39,144
how'd you know?

305
00:16:39,144 --> 00:16:39,864
Another time.

306
00:16:39,864 --> 00:16:40,625
Alright.

307
00:16:40,625 --> 00:16:41,565
Another time.

308
00:16:41,565 --> 00:16:43,346
Another place, another time.

309
00:16:43,446 --> 00:16:46,108
you'll have your you'll have your chances, don't worry.

310
00:16:46,108 --> 00:16:47,088
Alright.

311
00:16:47,088 --> 00:16:48,869
So Miles.

312
00:16:48,869 --> 00:16:50,306
Magpie.

313
00:16:50,306 --> 00:16:51,708
Begins to cut.

314
00:16:51,708 --> 00:16:54,392
Hey, where where are you where are you gonna put this?

315
00:16:54,392 --> 00:16:55,474
Where's this go?

316
00:16:55,474 --> 00:16:57,957
Back, thigh, hand, forehead?

317
00:16:57,957 --> 00:16:58,964
What's the deal?

318
00:16:58,964 --> 00:17:05,132
I think my thigh sitting next to him with his my leg over on his lap.

319
00:17:05,132 --> 00:17:08,305
Are you taking off your pants?

320
00:17:09,085 --> 00:17:12,927
You whitey tighties kinda boy or uh boxer briefs?

321
00:17:12,927 --> 00:17:13,317
Yeah.

322
00:17:13,317 --> 00:17:13,597
Boxers?

323
00:17:13,597 --> 00:17:15,979
He has boxer briefs, definitely.

324
00:17:15,979 --> 00:17:19,542
So Athletic Puma or I don't know.

325
00:17:19,542 --> 00:17:20,263
Yeah.

326
00:17:20,263 --> 00:17:24,906
So you're in the back of the van, pants off, getting carved up.

327
00:17:24,906 --> 00:17:31,326
Magpie, I assume you give him some I don't know, probably like big ol' iberprofens, 'cause

328
00:17:31,326 --> 00:17:32,515
I mean I offer it.

329
00:17:32,515 --> 00:17:35,116
He seems um like a touchy fella.

330
00:17:35,116 --> 00:17:35,708
Yeah.

331
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:39,054
I'll take some anti inflammatories, so

332
00:17:39,532 --> 00:17:45,207
A at this point he's already had sedative, so I don't know about giving him real
painkillers.

333
00:17:45,207 --> 00:17:46,928
But uh yeah.

334
00:17:46,928 --> 00:17:51,372
Magpie Magpie starts off pretty slow with the knife.

335
00:17:51,372 --> 00:17:53,113
Pretty slow, pretty careful.

336
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:59,478
He's referring to the uh photograph he took with his cell phone of the symbol.

337
00:17:59,478 --> 00:18:05,883
But maybe thirty minutes into the process, by the way, give me a con or a power check.

338
00:18:05,994 --> 00:18:08,605
just see how you're handling this, whichever's better.

339
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:15,714
About ha half an hour into this process and he starts speeding up.

340
00:18:15,714 --> 00:18:16,943
He's moving.

341
00:18:16,943 --> 00:18:30,162
That knife is gliding through flesh with precision, to be clear, but you you watch his
hands sort of move faster and faster and faster.

342
00:18:30,162 --> 00:18:31,020
What'd you get?

343
00:18:31,020 --> 00:18:35,682
I got a twenty six under seventy for both con and pow take.

344
00:18:35,682 --> 00:18:36,264
Hell yeah.

345
00:18:36,264 --> 00:18:36,805
Yeah.

346
00:18:36,805 --> 00:18:40,706
Um you grit your teeth and uh yeah.

347
00:18:40,706 --> 00:18:53,855
Miles has a old dock knife that his dad gave to him when he used to work in um Xinjin and
he'll take the butt of that, its sheath, and put it in his mouth and bear through it.

348
00:18:53,855 --> 00:18:54,638
So

349
00:18:54,638 --> 00:18:55,558
Very good.

350
00:18:55,558 --> 00:18:56,199
Okay.

351
00:18:56,199 --> 00:18:57,100
Yeah.

352
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:07,387
As Magpie cuts the final symbol into Miles' thigh, you feel a sort of like a a snapping
sensation.

353
00:19:07,387 --> 00:19:18,554
Um as some sort of maybe circuit closes and there's a a little you you feel a resonant
almost wave around you.

354
00:19:18,554 --> 00:19:24,358
Um I would like one, a sand check, and two

355
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,310
Uh I'd like you to lose a willpower and a sanity.

356
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:29,782
A willpower and a sanity.

357
00:19:29,782 --> 00:19:30,593
Okay.

358
00:19:30,593 --> 00:19:31,355
Yes.

359
00:19:31,355 --> 00:19:39,105
I rolled fourteen under fifty-six or fifty-seven and I lose one sand and one will
willpower.

360
00:19:39,747 --> 00:19:42,932
I am at my breaking point, but we can talk about that.

361
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:44,433
So yeah.

362
00:19:45,158 --> 00:19:48,430
well that sure is interesting.

363
00:19:48,430 --> 00:19:50,600
Uh let's talk about that right now.

364
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,271
What do you think brought you to your breaking point?

365
00:19:53,271 --> 00:19:57,380
Was it the harm being done to you?

366
00:19:57,380 --> 00:19:57,983
No.

367
00:19:57,983 --> 00:20:01,665
Was it the uh hypergeometry?

368
00:20:01,665 --> 00:20:03,805
What's the uh yeah?

369
00:20:03,805 --> 00:20:04,448
Okay.

370
00:20:04,448 --> 00:20:06,938
Yeah, the the hypergeometry, absolutely.

371
00:20:06,938 --> 00:20:09,718
And sorry, go ahead.

372
00:20:09,881 --> 00:20:18,348
There is a recommended uh what do you call Starts with a D disorder for that, which is
addiction to hypergeometry.

373
00:20:18,348 --> 00:20:19,119
Yeah.

374
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:19,900
Yeah.

375
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:25,344
So Miles is sitting there getting it carved into him and it's painful, but he bears
through it.

376
00:20:25,344 --> 00:20:30,849
But then when that snap happens, it feels like a bruise that you like to touch, right?

377
00:20:30,849 --> 00:20:35,913
He feels I don't know, like a a sense of completion as it's done.

378
00:20:35,954 --> 00:20:44,954
And he reflects on when he was trying to get Magpie to forget the flashback for a better
word, or what Roger Douglas told us.

379
00:20:44,954 --> 00:20:57,302
and the feeling of having control and then noticing like hit how he was intoning and also
using hand sandables, controlling the environment around him by lifting dust off the

380
00:20:57,302 --> 00:20:58,594
ground in a ring.

381
00:20:58,594 --> 00:21:02,166
And that sense of power like it feels good.

382
00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:03,207
Yeah, yeah.

383
00:21:03,207 --> 00:21:07,539
Um, I think you're gonna wanna get a little more of that if you can.

384
00:21:07,539 --> 00:21:09,951
Okay.

385
00:21:09,951 --> 00:21:10,591
Alright.

386
00:21:10,591 --> 00:21:17,056
Put addicted to hypergeometry on that sheet, and uh we'll see how that goes.

387
00:21:17,056 --> 00:21:19,557
But the symbol is complete.

388
00:21:19,557 --> 00:21:24,186
One hour into the three hour ride to Shillan.

389
00:21:24,186 --> 00:21:27,702
Hey Mo, can you give me a drive check?

390
00:21:28,552 --> 00:21:34,065
And you you did say I got a plus forty for the warship mut

391
00:21:34,327 --> 00:21:36,181
no, no, I didn't.

392
00:21:36,285 --> 00:21:37,147
Go.

393
00:21:37,236 --> 00:21:37,797
That's weird.

394
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:41,344
That must have been somebody else because I totally heard Yeah, I don't know who said
that.

395
00:21:41,344 --> 00:21:44,376
Uh I actually rolled a three on a twenty.

396
00:21:44,376 --> 00:21:46,670
Hell yeah my dude.

397
00:21:46,670 --> 00:21:55,925
So how fast is how fast is Mull driving on the highway in this beat-up van?

398
00:21:56,718 --> 00:21:57,299
okay.

399
00:21:57,299 --> 00:22:00,820
Well, knowing that I succeeded very fast.

400
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:05,262
No, I I think Mole is in um you hear Mole.

401
00:22:05,262 --> 00:22:12,605
Yeah, I think we hear Mole, um I wouldn't say like very, very fast, but he's definitely
like in, you know, Jesus take the wheel mode with this.

402
00:22:13,286 --> 00:22:23,158
so he's singing Amazing Grace, uh, along with the kids from Kids Bop, and he is just taken
down the road.

403
00:22:23,158 --> 00:22:24,059
Yeah.

404
00:22:24,059 --> 00:22:30,312
With that successful drive check, you spot the patrol car up ahead.

405
00:22:30,312 --> 00:22:30,942
Okay.

406
00:22:30,942 --> 00:22:36,766
And you you slam you don't slam on the brakes because that'll make the nose of the van
dip.

407
00:22:36,766 --> 00:22:49,272
You ease onto those brakes and you go past that patrol car at an unsuspicious 65, 5 over
the limit, but not too far over the limit.

408
00:22:49,272 --> 00:22:52,328
But the patrol car peels out anyways.

409
00:22:52,328 --> 00:22:56,596
It just sort of follows you for a little bit, little while.

410
00:22:56,855 --> 00:22:59,886
I think there may be somebody tailing us.

411
00:22:59,886 --> 00:23:02,450
oh Sirens come on.

412
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:03,866
Lights come on.

413
00:23:03,866 --> 00:23:07,718
Uh Miles, you are uh pantsless in the back seat.

414
00:23:07,718 --> 00:23:10,722
Magpie, you are trenched in blood.

415
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:15,109
Morrison, you have a mostly disassembled rifle in the back.

416
00:23:15,109 --> 00:23:16,638
Muld, you pull over.

417
00:23:16,638 --> 00:23:24,661
I think that there is a moment where Mole is like, uh, do I pull over or do we just say
fuck it boys?

418
00:23:24,661 --> 00:23:26,501
And then he waits for a second.

419
00:23:26,501 --> 00:23:30,703
And he is going to listen to what you guys say, I think.

420
00:23:30,703 --> 00:23:31,213
We can't.

421
00:23:31,213 --> 00:23:33,794
Or at least take into consideration is what I would say.

422
00:23:33,794 --> 00:23:34,564
Yeah.

423
00:23:34,564 --> 00:23:35,805
We can't outrun him.

424
00:23:35,805 --> 00:23:38,858
So unless you have a better plan, we have to pull over.

425
00:23:38,858 --> 00:23:40,646
Ah, my leg hurts.

426
00:23:40,650 --> 00:23:42,170
It really does.

427
00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:45,238
Do you put your pants back on over your fresh wound?

428
00:23:45,238 --> 00:23:49,741
Yeah, I mean he wears black slacks so whatever, he'll put it on.

429
00:23:50,284 --> 00:23:51,240
And red.

430
00:23:51,692 --> 00:23:57,028
Yeah, I think we we see there's like a moment where Mole's gripping the wheel tight.

431
00:23:57,028 --> 00:24:05,737
I think like you can see in his eye he's imagining a cop chase and how um he would, you
know, totally make it through, uh through his divine mercy.

432
00:24:05,737 --> 00:24:07,960
And then he's like, Okay.

433
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:08,570
All right.

434
00:24:08,570 --> 00:24:10,215
And then pulls over.

435
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:13,699
I think these police officers need to hear your message, Mol.

436
00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:15,343
Chance to proselytize.

437
00:24:15,343 --> 00:24:17,100
So, pull it over and...

438
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:19,369
but don't, don't lay it on too thick.

439
00:24:19,473 --> 00:24:19,865
perfect.

440
00:24:19,865 --> 00:24:20,428
Medium.

441
00:24:20,428 --> 00:24:21,206
Got it.

442
00:24:21,206 --> 00:24:33,349
Yeah, so how are all of you feeling about being pulled over on your way back to Seattle in
order to deal with this?

443
00:24:33,422 --> 00:24:34,954
I'd rather we weren't.

444
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,062
But no suspicion is what I'm saying.

445
00:24:38,062 --> 00:24:39,503
Absolutely suspicious.

446
00:24:39,503 --> 00:24:40,384
Um Yeah.

447
00:24:40,384 --> 00:24:46,718
You know, Miles will voice it'd be like, guys, we had I remember when you guys split off
from us.

448
00:24:46,718 --> 00:24:51,091
I remember you telling me that somebody came and said he was sent there to kill you.

449
00:24:51,091 --> 00:24:53,312
How do we know this cop isn't gonna do that?

450
00:24:53,312 --> 00:24:54,713
He's already got a gun.

451
00:24:54,713 --> 00:24:55,454
Like it's weird.

452
00:24:55,454 --> 00:24:57,255
We under the speed limit, right, Maul?

453
00:24:57,255 --> 00:24:59,367
Uh yeah, something like that.

454
00:24:59,367 --> 00:25:01,928
I mean five overs under, right?

455
00:25:03,104 --> 00:25:05,229
Our van is stolen, I think, right?

456
00:25:05,229 --> 00:25:06,028
Yeah.

457
00:25:06,028 --> 00:25:06,249
Yeah.

458
00:25:06,249 --> 00:25:06,750
Probably.

459
00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:09,928
You never investigated this, but yeah, probably.

460
00:25:09,928 --> 00:25:12,600
He would have run the he's gonna run the plates right now.

461
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:22,402
He wouldn't have run the plates as we drove by, so I'll pull my pistol out and keep it
under my leg with my hand.

462
00:25:22,402 --> 00:25:23,180
Same.

463
00:25:23,180 --> 00:25:25,431
Magpie, what's what are you doing?

464
00:25:25,431 --> 00:25:32,414
yeah, I think I am moving to uh sit back with Mole in a driver's seat.

465
00:25:32,414 --> 00:25:38,457
So I am uh looking back towards the cop approaching as he walks up.

466
00:25:38,457 --> 00:25:39,417
Okay, yeah.

467
00:25:39,417 --> 00:25:48,621
Uh and you know, down in the crook of my my um like by my right thigh is the Yeah,
awesome.

468
00:25:48,621 --> 00:25:49,571
He pulls you over.

469
00:25:49,571 --> 00:25:51,396
Oops, just one second.

470
00:25:51,416 --> 00:25:54,058
So you said cops and so I thought maybe there were two.

471
00:25:54,058 --> 00:25:55,868
No, just one car.

472
00:25:57,624 --> 00:26:00,961
Yeah, I mean like two people in the car, one person in the car.

473
00:26:01,061 --> 00:26:04,333
well do you see how many people are in a cop car at two AM?

474
00:26:04,333 --> 00:26:05,134
No

475
00:26:05,134 --> 00:26:09,176
I mean, yeah, they probably got their lights on, so probably can't see too well.

476
00:26:09,176 --> 00:26:09,980
Give me alertness.

477
00:26:09,980 --> 00:26:11,022
Okay.

478
00:26:11,022 --> 00:26:12,822
Is that fair game for everybody?

479
00:26:12,822 --> 00:26:13,695
Yeah, sure, whatever.

480
00:26:13,695 --> 00:26:14,167
Hell yeah.

481
00:26:14,167 --> 00:26:15,086
Hell yeah.

482
00:26:15,086 --> 00:26:17,122
42 under 80

483
00:26:17,122 --> 00:26:22,244
Yeah, you know, um, you're pretty sure there's just the one trooper.

484
00:26:22,705 --> 00:26:24,346
Yeah, just just one.

485
00:26:24,346 --> 00:26:34,352
So, they're parked behind the van for a little bit, you know, thirty seconds becomes a
minute, a minute becomes two minutes.

486
00:26:34,352 --> 00:26:37,673
After three minutes, uh someone gets out of the car.

487
00:26:37,673 --> 00:26:41,345
They're wearing, you know, that that wide brimmed trooper hat.

488
00:26:41,345 --> 00:26:46,616
They've got those that like weird blue khaki uniform, so

489
00:26:46,616 --> 00:26:51,668
Washington State trooper and they're they're slow walking to your car.

490
00:26:51,668 --> 00:26:56,770
They come up and they get up to the window and tap tap tap knock on the window.

491
00:26:56,770 --> 00:27:05,794
It's a it's a younger looking man, um maybe maybe in his twenties, but he has like an
awful like caterpillar mustache.

492
00:27:05,794 --> 00:27:07,500
Mull, you gonna roll that window down?

493
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:08,693
Yeah.

494
00:27:08,693 --> 00:27:13,537
Uh window down, um he gets now the blaring uh kids bop.

495
00:27:13,537 --> 00:27:14,926
Oh god Christing.

496
00:27:14,926 --> 00:27:17,455
Okay, see you don't turn off the radio for this.

497
00:27:17,455 --> 00:27:18,658
Spectacular.

498
00:27:18,658 --> 00:27:21,800
No, I think it's it's it's the gospel.

499
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,901
Why would I turn that down?

500
00:27:22,901 --> 00:27:25,913
That's a wild idea, I think, to Maul, you know.

501
00:27:25,913 --> 00:27:29,245
This is this is what gets men through hard times.

502
00:27:29,245 --> 00:27:31,606
And we're all obviously in hard times.

503
00:27:31,615 --> 00:27:32,960
good evening, sir.

504
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,149
Uh do you uh do you know why I pulled you over?

505
00:27:36,337 --> 00:27:37,489
hello officer.

506
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:38,752
Brother, I don't.

507
00:27:38,752 --> 00:27:41,800
Um I was driving the speed limit.

508
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,375
we're trying to make our way to Plymouth Church, United Church of Christ in Seattle.

509
00:27:46,375 --> 00:27:47,458
Yeah, yeah.

510
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:50,344
No, you you've got a tail light out.

511
00:27:51,549 --> 00:27:52,480
Yeah.

512
00:27:53,107 --> 00:27:54,604
I didn't realize.

513
00:27:54,604 --> 00:27:57,099
Yeah, no, it's it's d it's dangerous.

514
00:27:57,099 --> 00:27:59,434
You gotta you gotta get that taken care of.

515
00:27:59,434 --> 00:28:07,143
Okay, uh the good news is that we have an extra light at the church that I could put in
the car.

516
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,506
So I appreciate this, thank you.

517
00:28:09,506 --> 00:28:13,477
Yeah, you're well you know, where are you guys going this late at night?

518
00:28:14,623 --> 00:28:15,956
At three AM?

519
00:28:16,304 --> 00:28:18,370
yeah, you know service waits for nobody.

520
00:28:18,370 --> 00:28:19,480
Huh.

521
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,704
Well, I'm not gonna give you a ticket this time, but you gotta get that fixed, okay?

522
00:28:23,704 --> 00:28:25,603
Can do, we'll get right on it.

523
00:28:25,603 --> 00:28:29,198
You know, the Lord helps those that help themselves.

524
00:28:29,198 --> 00:28:31,242
All right, well, drive safe.

525
00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:35,288
And he slow walks back to his patrol car.

526
00:28:35,288 --> 00:28:38,221
Huge gasp of relief from the back.

527
00:28:38,582 --> 00:28:39,283
Yeah.

528
00:28:39,283 --> 00:28:40,244
Mole?

529
00:28:41,326 --> 00:28:45,151
Mole just rolls the window back up and is like, let's go.

530
00:28:45,151 --> 00:28:45,852
Back to it.

531
00:28:45,852 --> 00:28:46,712
Yeah.

532
00:28:47,273 --> 00:28:51,342
Morrison, do you wanna get the symbol as well?

533
00:28:51,342 --> 00:28:54,065
ah Do we successfully drive away?

534
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:55,756
Does the cop follow us?

535
00:28:55,756 --> 00:29:04,434
You do drive away and the cop drives behind you for a a couple of minutes before um
pulling into one of those turnaways.

536
00:29:05,656 --> 00:29:10,561
Ambush unsuspecting people uh driving sixty five miles an hour.

537
00:29:11,382 --> 00:29:13,805
People going to church at three AM, yeah.

538
00:29:13,805 --> 00:29:15,666
Soup for my family.

539
00:29:17,230 --> 00:29:18,818
Um, yeah, sure.

540
00:29:18,818 --> 00:29:20,054
I'll give it a shot.

541
00:29:20,054 --> 00:29:20,816
Okay.

542
00:29:20,816 --> 00:29:21,834
Magpie.

543
00:29:21,834 --> 00:29:23,943
I God Christ.

544
00:29:23,943 --> 00:29:27,360
Okay, take off your fucking headphones, Miles Morrison and Malt.

545
00:29:27,606 --> 00:29:28,326
Yeah.

546
00:29:29,046 --> 00:29:31,856
Or well, Magpie, are you gonna do this again?

547
00:29:31,868 --> 00:29:32,120
yeah.

548
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,491
Okay.

549
00:29:32,491 --> 00:29:33,110
Yeah.

550
00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:35,057
He's got practice now, plus twenty percent.

551
00:29:35,057 --> 00:29:35,670
No.

552
00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:39,591
uh that is a great point.

553
00:29:39,591 --> 00:29:43,332
I'd like you to add a D four to your unnatural skill.

554
00:29:43,332 --> 00:29:44,753
A D four plus one actually.

555
00:29:44,753 --> 00:29:48,254
Oh, you rolled a three?

556
00:29:48,254 --> 00:29:49,795
Hell yeah, my dude.

557
00:29:49,795 --> 00:29:51,495
Okay, put that four on there.

558
00:29:51,495 --> 00:29:53,596
Um Same as the first.

559
00:29:53,596 --> 00:29:55,537
I'd like a surgery check.

560
00:29:55,537 --> 00:29:59,714
Um or I would also take a straight dex, whichever's better.

561
00:29:59,714 --> 00:30:01,396
Yeah, I mean Dex is better.

562
00:30:01,526 --> 00:30:02,569
Okay.

563
00:30:02,975 --> 00:30:03,987
go on ahead.

564
00:30:04,088 --> 00:30:06,604
yeah, twenty nine cruises straight through.

565
00:30:06,604 --> 00:30:07,426
Yeah, it sure does.

566
00:30:07,426 --> 00:30:09,492
Uh gimme that sand check again.

567
00:30:09,492 --> 00:30:12,588
And again, you would like to fail this.

568
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,639
D dice don't really take the orders.

569
00:30:14,639 --> 00:30:15,834
I don't know if this works.

570
00:30:15,834 --> 00:30:17,122
As a twenty five.

571
00:30:17,122 --> 00:30:19,454
No, would you like to force the connection again?

572
00:30:19,454 --> 00:30:20,445
Yeah.

573
00:30:20,445 --> 00:30:21,146
Okay.

574
00:30:21,146 --> 00:30:25,670
Lose another power, lose the max San, lose the max willpower.

575
00:30:25,670 --> 00:30:35,919
But again, you are getting the hang not of this ritual, but of forcing the connection.

576
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:44,306
You are seeing not really seeing, but you're feeling like behind the bridge of your nose.

577
00:30:44,322 --> 00:30:59,712
behind your eyes you feel that tension and you can feel it building until you can you can
hold it at a certain level and that lets you just sort of follow the follow the line,

578
00:30:59,712 --> 00:31:01,994
follow the path it's been made for you.

579
00:31:01,994 --> 00:31:02,682
Yeah.

580
00:31:02,682 --> 00:31:14,154
I think maybe this point too there is in like the feeling that it is the the it's in
Morrison and instead

581
00:31:14,154 --> 00:31:21,167
Of uh describing it on him, I am simply trying to revealing it.

582
00:31:21,167 --> 00:31:22,661
Yes, precisely.

583
00:31:22,661 --> 00:31:25,444
Absolutely 100% the feeling you're getting.

584
00:31:25,444 --> 00:31:29,587
Um, would you please lose three willpower and one sanity?

585
00:31:29,587 --> 00:31:35,091
Can I just make sure I did all the housekeeping right from the first one there?

586
00:31:35,712 --> 00:31:42,624
Yeah, if you tell me your starting uh power and the sin you were at and your max sin, I
can help you out.

587
00:31:42,624 --> 00:31:47,127
Well no, just I just wanted to make sure that I had uh taken off all the things that I
needed to.

588
00:31:47,127 --> 00:31:54,762
So I I checked my power down by one and rippled that through my max san and my max
willpower.

589
00:31:54,762 --> 00:31:57,284
What else needed to happen from that first?

590
00:31:58,365 --> 00:32:06,070
From the first one, I believe you lost I I just mean from from what I was just now.

591
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:12,066
You lose a point of power, you lose three willpower, and you lose one sanity.

592
00:32:12,066 --> 00:32:15,904
All right, we're at low power and we're two above our brake.

593
00:32:15,904 --> 00:32:16,734
Okay.

594
00:32:16,734 --> 00:32:17,915
Best stay above it.

595
00:32:17,915 --> 00:32:22,216
How are you feeling, uh, being like an operator?

596
00:32:22,896 --> 00:32:25,637
You're being given like a lot of responsibility here.

597
00:32:25,637 --> 00:32:26,617
Yeah.

598
00:32:26,617 --> 00:32:36,019
And I think it's even like uh I mean like feeling as though there is some like linchpin
quality to this.

599
00:32:36,019 --> 00:32:36,840
Yeah.

600
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,240
Right?

601
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:45,846
The the dutifulness of pushing into it is like I I don't properly know what it would mean
to only half commit.

602
00:32:45,846 --> 00:32:51,527
At this point, and so we are pushing uh further in in that way.

603
00:32:52,186 --> 00:32:58,339
I think you are aware that this is maybe irrevocably changing you, right?

604
00:32:58,339 --> 00:32:58,770
Yeah.

605
00:32:58,770 --> 00:33:03,351
Whether that's damaging you or not, you are certainly being changed by this.

606
00:33:03,351 --> 00:33:12,703
And that's true, but it does feel like you know, when you are in a sleep-deprived state
and there is adrenaline in the mix, you feel very thin, but you also feel like, you know,

607
00:33:12,703 --> 00:33:14,926
just pure energy, right?

608
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:15,116
Yeah.

609
00:33:15,116 --> 00:33:23,442
And so it is this kind of like you know, whipcracking, pure raw driving.

610
00:33:23,442 --> 00:33:26,474
And and it's you know, this isn't a smooth ride.

611
00:33:26,474 --> 00:33:29,256
We are taking turns, we're going over bumps.

612
00:33:29,256 --> 00:33:43,360
There is kind of just like like a a real feeling of like this is sorry, uh a real feeling
of like this is my chance to make up

613
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,842
A mark on the world, right?

614
00:33:45,842 --> 00:33:48,490
This is the the time that the world needs me.

615
00:33:48,490 --> 00:33:48,974
Okay.

616
00:33:48,974 --> 00:33:49,514
Yeah.

617
00:33:49,514 --> 00:33:50,715
No, I love it.

618
00:33:50,715 --> 00:33:51,655
That's great.

619
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:52,576
That's perfect.

620
00:33:52,576 --> 00:33:55,558
So you don't feel like they're like taking you for granted.

621
00:33:55,558 --> 00:33:57,429
This is this is you.

622
00:33:57,429 --> 00:34:02,082
No, I I understand if they didn't hire me, they'd be properly fucked right now.

623
00:34:02,082 --> 00:34:03,203
Yeah, completely.

624
00:34:03,203 --> 00:34:04,304
Yeah, totally.

625
00:34:04,304 --> 00:34:04,734
I love it.

626
00:34:04,734 --> 00:34:05,450
Awesome.

627
00:34:05,450 --> 00:34:07,445
Let's get everyone back in here.

628
00:34:07,455 --> 00:34:08,727
can you give me a D four?

629
00:34:08,727 --> 00:34:09,593
Must I?

630
00:34:09,593 --> 00:34:10,562
It's one.

631
00:34:10,562 --> 00:34:12,623
Spec fucking tacular.

632
00:34:12,623 --> 00:34:13,924
Alright.

633
00:34:13,924 --> 00:34:16,765
Agent Morrison, I'd like a luck check from you.

634
00:34:17,886 --> 00:34:18,707
Very good.

635
00:34:18,707 --> 00:34:19,447
Alright.

636
00:34:19,447 --> 00:34:21,428
So Magpie.

637
00:34:21,428 --> 00:34:23,429
where are you having him cut you off?

638
00:34:24,346 --> 00:34:28,868
you know, I imagine that like everyone else, this is probably going to hurt.

639
00:34:28,868 --> 00:34:39,971
And so instead of like biting on something, I think what I do is I just, uh, kneel in the
back of the van, like where I was, uh, with my rifle and I just really focus on

640
00:34:39,971 --> 00:34:46,653
disassembling and reassembling my rifle and just do it like, uh, maybe like left flank.

641
00:34:46,653 --> 00:34:47,953
Like there's lots of meat there.

642
00:34:47,953 --> 00:34:50,422
It's probably not, you know, the skin's thick.

643
00:34:50,422 --> 00:34:52,065
Like right over those kidneys.

644
00:34:52,065 --> 00:34:55,307
Well, I mean not on the kidney, but like the thick part of the back.

645
00:34:55,326 --> 00:34:56,490
And the thick part of the back?

646
00:34:56,490 --> 00:34:57,799
I don't know anything.

647
00:34:57,827 --> 00:34:58,791
Back fat.

648
00:34:58,791 --> 00:35:01,006
Yeah, mean the whole back's kind of thick.

649
00:35:01,006 --> 00:35:03,609
He starts cutting you up.

650
00:35:03,609 --> 00:35:08,782
uh give me a pow or a con, whichever's higher, just to see how you handle this.

651
00:35:08,782 --> 00:35:11,622
Khan is 85 37.

652
00:35:11,622 --> 00:35:12,662
Okay.

653
00:35:12,682 --> 00:35:18,782
Yeah, I mean he's Again like physical endurance is kind of like the staple of his life.

654
00:35:18,782 --> 00:35:19,902
So you

655
00:35:19,902 --> 00:35:23,956
you you do not get through this by focusing.

656
00:35:23,956 --> 00:35:31,332
Uh it turns out that it that's not like quite gonna do it for you, but you you can just
gut it out.

657
00:35:32,514 --> 00:35:35,427
since you you did this with Khan instead of Pow, you know?

658
00:35:35,427 --> 00:35:36,217
Okay.

659
00:35:36,217 --> 00:35:37,426
That's how I

660
00:35:37,426 --> 00:35:42,514
I guess, when it starts to hurt a bit more, I'm like, hey, Mole, can we do another round
of Amazing Grace?

661
00:35:42,514 --> 00:35:44,556
And I just start singing with him?

662
00:35:44,706 --> 00:35:45,666
I-

663
00:35:45,828 --> 00:35:46,653
Yeah.

664
00:35:48,266 --> 00:35:57,493
It only takes Magpie about 30 minutes to carve this ridiculously intricate pattern onto
your left flank.

665
00:35:57,493 --> 00:35:59,715
It is frankly shocking.

666
00:35:59,715 --> 00:36:06,380
There are hundreds of lines in this design, but Magpie's knife is quick and sure.

667
00:36:06,380 --> 00:36:14,998
And as he makes the last stroke and completes the circuit of the symbol, you also feel
that.

668
00:36:14,998 --> 00:36:19,866
sort of snapping sensation of a connection being made.

669
00:36:20,488 --> 00:36:23,143
I'd like you to lose a willpower and a sanity for me.

670
00:36:23,143 --> 00:36:26,264
Uh and I'd like you to tell me what you think about that.

671
00:36:26,264 --> 00:36:28,376
Do I need to do a sand check or?

672
00:36:28,376 --> 00:36:28,859
Just lose one.

673
00:36:28,859 --> 00:36:30,039
I'd say probably, yeah.

674
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:31,475
That seems reasonable.

675
00:36:31,522 --> 00:36:33,403
You had uh Miles do that.

676
00:36:33,403 --> 00:36:34,063
Did I?

677
00:36:34,063 --> 00:36:34,863
That's a nine.

678
00:36:34,863 --> 00:36:48,827
ah So I think that as I'm doing this, or as he's doing this, and I'm singing Amazing
Grace, and I'm putting my rifle back together, ah he finishes, and I feel that snap right

679
00:36:48,827 --> 00:36:53,628
as I slide the last part into place, pull the slide back, and then close it.

680
00:36:53,628 --> 00:37:00,546
And when it clicks, right as the last cut goes in, I'm just like, I never realized how
beautiful this rifle is until now.

681
00:37:00,546 --> 00:37:04,797
Like I've seen it before, but I am seeing it for the first time now.

682
00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:07,405
Can I marry a rifle?

683
00:37:08,206 --> 00:37:09,117
You're already married.

684
00:37:09,117 --> 00:37:10,439
That's illegal.

685
00:37:10,439 --> 00:37:16,980
There's no bigamy Um Yeah.

686
00:37:16,980 --> 00:37:22,648
Probably I'd say a couple of seconds after that snapping sensation.

687
00:37:22,648 --> 00:37:24,270
Morrison's phone rang.

688
00:37:24,495 --> 00:37:27,907
Yeah, I just, uh...

689
00:37:27,922 --> 00:37:33,130
Yeah, I think I instinctively, when I hear the ring reach for the pocket with the burner,
and then I'm like, wait.

690
00:37:33,432 --> 00:37:34,213
And I...

691
00:37:34,213 --> 00:37:35,062
Hello?

692
00:37:35,062 --> 00:37:36,103
Hi, hi.

693
00:37:36,103 --> 00:37:39,264
Um I hey, I've been having a dream.

694
00:37:39,264 --> 00:37:40,585
I've been having a dream.

695
00:37:40,585 --> 00:37:47,549
In my dream I'm I'm sitting in my car and I I call this number and every digit burns like
neon.

696
00:37:47,549 --> 00:37:49,610
And I call this number and this time you picked up.

697
00:37:49,610 --> 00:37:50,210
You picked up.

698
00:37:50,210 --> 00:37:50,971
You picked up.

699
00:37:50,971 --> 00:37:53,172
Cause this is this is this is real.

700
00:37:53,172 --> 00:37:54,573
This is real this time.

701
00:37:54,573 --> 00:37:55,043
Thank you.

702
00:37:55,043 --> 00:37:55,553
Thank you.

703
00:37:55,553 --> 00:37:55,964
Thank you.

704
00:37:55,964 --> 00:37:57,314
Thank you so much.

705
00:37:57,314 --> 00:37:58,655
Anyways Yeah.

706
00:37:58,655 --> 00:38:02,197
In my dream I I call this number from my car across the street.

707
00:38:02,197 --> 00:38:04,046
I've already checked the address twice.

708
00:38:04,046 --> 00:38:08,269
I'm across the street from from twenty one seven fourteen old Owen.

709
00:38:08,419 --> 00:38:10,791
the numbers are s are s are so bright.

710
00:38:10,791 --> 00:38:12,032
Again, it's dark.

711
00:38:12,032 --> 00:38:14,993
I hear and Yep.

712
00:38:15,054 --> 00:38:17,636
you can have popped it on the speaker from the start if you like.

713
00:38:17,636 --> 00:38:18,316
Sure.

714
00:38:18,316 --> 00:38:18,976
It's dark.

715
00:38:18,976 --> 00:38:19,877
It's dark.

716
00:38:19,877 --> 00:38:23,460
And even though it's dark, I know she's inside.

717
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:25,021
I know she's inside.

718
00:38:25,021 --> 00:38:29,003
Sometimes in my dream I see her through the windows, but this time I think she's asleep.

719
00:38:29,003 --> 00:38:31,065
And I always think she'll be asleep this late.

720
00:38:31,065 --> 00:38:32,276
But sometimes she isn't.

721
00:38:32,276 --> 00:38:33,102
I've got a

722
00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:35,602
I've I've I've got a I've got a I've got a kitchen knife.

723
00:38:35,602 --> 00:38:41,647
Isn't that I think that's pretty funny, if you ask me all these times and I still couldn't
be more prepared than a kitchen knife.

724
00:38:41,647 --> 00:38:46,682
Anyways, it's a knife I have to kill myself if I don't without if I don't kill her, so
that's what I'm gonna do.

725
00:38:46,682 --> 00:38:48,551
I'm gonna go into the bathroom window.

726
00:38:48,551 --> 00:38:49,631
It's always unlocked.

727
00:38:49,631 --> 00:38:53,722
And I'm gonna go in there and I'm gonna cut her throat and I'm gonna feel better and
everything's gonna be okay again.

728
00:38:53,722 --> 00:38:57,956
So so I just wanted to I wanted to call and say thank you.

729
00:38:57,956 --> 00:38:59,117
You've saved my life.

730
00:38:59,117 --> 00:39:01,654
I just need a minute to get ready, but then this is

731
00:39:01,654 --> 00:39:04,496
All gonna be over and everything gonna be all right again.

732
00:39:04,496 --> 00:39:05,677
So thank thank you.

733
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:13,963
Um in the dream I always tell the phone before I hang up, uh, more approach the others.

734
00:39:14,294 --> 00:39:16,906
not sure what that means, but th thank thank you.

735
00:39:16,906 --> 00:39:17,358
Click.

736
00:39:17,358 --> 00:39:22,717
Can I have pulled out my other phone and dialed 911 at the same time?

737
00:39:22,717 --> 00:39:23,407
for sure.

738
00:39:23,407 --> 00:39:26,242
Uh I want a sand check on that real quick.

739
00:39:26,242 --> 00:39:27,113
Yeah.

740
00:39:27,184 --> 00:39:29,917
everyone can make that sand check for me if they like.

741
00:39:31,060 --> 00:39:31,421
Thanks.

742
00:39:31,421 --> 00:39:32,682
Microphone.

743
00:39:33,122 --> 00:39:34,330
Double O six.

744
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:34,938
Okay.

745
00:39:34,938 --> 00:39:36,099
I got a ninety nine.

746
00:39:36,099 --> 00:39:37,848
Is that oops?

747
00:39:37,848 --> 00:39:38,522
That's good.

748
00:39:38,522 --> 00:39:39,295
No, you're good.

749
00:39:39,295 --> 00:39:39,988
That's good.

750
00:39:39,988 --> 00:39:42,304
No, I I think that's the best you can do.

751
00:39:42,304 --> 00:39:47,258
Morrison, I'm gonna say you're gonna take one from helplessness, even though you passed.

752
00:39:47,258 --> 00:39:47,928
Sure.

753
00:39:47,928 --> 00:39:55,183
everyone else who passed is gonna take zero from helplessness because that wasn't your
address that was read out out loud.

754
00:39:55,183 --> 00:39:57,955
Magpie, you're gonna take four sandwiches.

755
00:39:57,955 --> 00:39:59,166
Yeah, well.

756
00:39:59,166 --> 00:40:00,307
This is helplessness.

757
00:40:00,307 --> 00:40:01,548
Hey, look at that.

758
00:40:01,548 --> 00:40:05,491
Yeah, the that is the third checkbox.

759
00:40:05,491 --> 00:40:09,453
However, there's that other little thing that says Oh no.

760
00:40:09,453 --> 00:40:10,694
oh

761
00:40:10,714 --> 00:40:11,487
insane.

762
00:40:11,487 --> 00:40:11,837
Yeah.

763
00:40:11,837 --> 00:40:14,926
And we just kinda smashed through the floor there really.

764
00:40:14,926 --> 00:40:16,207
Was that a breaking point?

765
00:40:16,207 --> 00:40:17,417
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

766
00:40:17,417 --> 00:40:17,848
Yeah.

767
00:40:17,848 --> 00:40:21,570
What do you think really does it for you about this call?

768
00:40:23,111 --> 00:40:24,822
No, I don't think you did.

769
00:40:25,993 --> 00:40:32,236
I think I do, or I feel like I will when we get the next call.

770
00:40:32,236 --> 00:40:39,001
And I will know that it is somebody telling me exactly where my sister is.

771
00:40:39,001 --> 00:40:41,816
And I Okay.

772
00:40:41,816 --> 00:40:45,309
Do you have any ideas of what sort of disorders you want to grab off of this?

773
00:40:45,309 --> 00:40:46,840
Well, howdy, that seems thing.

774
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:52,035
I've never done that a single time in my life, so I don't Okay.

775
00:40:52,035 --> 00:40:54,267
So there's a list of them in the core rule book.

776
00:40:54,267 --> 00:40:55,698
You can glance through there.

777
00:40:55,698 --> 00:41:09,190
If what you're feeling is dread about your sister being next, if that's what this does to
you, then I think it wouldn't be inappropriate to

778
00:41:09,370 --> 00:41:16,618
Uh take some sort of anxiety thing or some sort of depression or something like that.

779
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:22,562
those might be a little too real, but I think though uh

780
00:41:22,562 --> 00:41:27,821
La gyrophobia, fear of loud noises, aka the phone call, that's next.

781
00:41:28,366 --> 00:41:29,651
I don't know about that.

782
00:41:29,651 --> 00:41:33,388
That's for like gunshots and like uh fireworks, right?

783
00:41:33,388 --> 00:41:33,961
I don't know.

784
00:41:33,961 --> 00:41:38,604
If the next call is your sister being killed, that seems like a gunshot to me, right?

785
00:41:38,604 --> 00:41:39,344
Alright, sure.

786
00:41:39,344 --> 00:41:43,906
Or well it's gonna be PTSD is what it's gonna be, but uh you think about that.

787
00:41:43,906 --> 00:41:45,076
You don't have pick right now.

788
00:41:45,076 --> 00:41:51,358
Yeah, I I think an anxiety uh disorder sounds like uh a good place to start.

789
00:41:51,358 --> 00:41:51,998
Okay.

790
00:41:51,998 --> 00:41:58,250
If you would be so kind as to look up whether there's anything like that in the agent's
handbook.

791
00:41:58,250 --> 00:41:59,777
Yeah, it says I would appreciate it.

792
00:41:59,777 --> 00:42:00,521
Absolutely.

793
00:42:00,521 --> 00:42:01,811
hey, anxiety disorder.

794
00:42:01,811 --> 00:42:02,302
Right.

795
00:42:02,302 --> 00:42:03,840
You're a disease by work.

796
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:13,367
fatigue, restlessness, headaches and savage panic attacks, losing two plus sanity in any
single roll triggers an acute episode in which all skill stat tests sand rolls are at

797
00:42:13,367 --> 00:42:14,862
minus twenty percent.

798
00:42:14,862 --> 00:42:15,983
Uh stunning.

799
00:42:15,983 --> 00:42:16,744
Okay.

800
00:42:16,744 --> 00:42:18,344
Thank you so much.

801
00:42:18,495 --> 00:42:22,408
welcome to your new world, Agent Magpie.

802
00:42:22,408 --> 00:42:25,530
It's a world of fear and helplessness.

803
00:42:25,530 --> 00:42:28,312
Agent Morrison, you dialed nine one one.

804
00:42:28,312 --> 00:42:30,798
Are you not going to call your wife?

805
00:42:30,798 --> 00:42:35,168
uh I probably as soon as the I guess the other guy just hung up the phone.

806
00:42:35,168 --> 00:42:36,194
Yeah

807
00:42:36,194 --> 00:42:39,118
I'll grab the nine one one call from you and you can

808
00:42:39,118 --> 00:42:39,874
That's I was gonna-

809
00:42:39,874 --> 00:42:40,495
yeah.

810
00:42:40,495 --> 00:42:44,600
It Morrison, if you want to have a last word in on the guy, you can.

811
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,452
There was a brief second there at the end.

812
00:42:46,452 --> 00:42:46,823
Yeah.

813
00:42:46,823 --> 00:42:47,273
Okay.

814
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:48,745
You you let him hang up.

815
00:42:48,745 --> 00:42:49,366
Okay.

816
00:42:49,366 --> 00:42:51,507
Uh you let them hang up.

817
00:42:52,449 --> 00:42:53,219
Okay.

818
00:42:53,219 --> 00:42:58,240
Yeah, so probably I, you know, I look at Miles, I say, that's my address.

819
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,081
That guy's probably going to kill my wife.

820
00:43:00,081 --> 00:43:01,381
Tell 911.

821
00:43:01,381 --> 00:43:02,902
And then I hand the phone off.

822
00:43:02,902 --> 00:43:08,644
ah mean, I imagine again, you know, I do like search and rescue as in the military.

823
00:43:08,644 --> 00:43:11,625
It's my wife, but this is also like, got to take care of shit.

824
00:43:11,625 --> 00:43:12,925
I'm really stressed.

825
00:43:12,925 --> 00:43:14,422
like, you know, you like.

826
00:43:14,422 --> 00:43:18,607
If succeeded that sand roll, you are in crisis mode.

827
00:43:18,607 --> 00:43:21,510
But this is a mode you've been in before.

828
00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:25,555
So this is like not unprecedented.

829
00:43:25,555 --> 00:43:28,916
It's horrendous, but you know what you need to do.

830
00:43:28,916 --> 00:43:34,094
Yeah, and then yeah with the phone that the guy just hung up from I call my wife

831
00:43:34,094 --> 00:43:34,875
Okay.

832
00:43:35,539 --> 00:43:41,798
it rings uh and it rings and it rings and it rings and rolled luck for.

833
00:43:42,094 --> 00:43:43,734
That's an 82.

834
00:43:45,959 --> 00:43:48,200
do we have a security system?

835
00:43:49,743 --> 00:43:52,847
I do seem like the type, but I didn't want to take too many liberties.

836
00:43:52,847 --> 00:43:54,127
Sure.

837
00:43:55,189 --> 00:43:59,660
is there a way that I can remote do anything with this security system?

838
00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:01,066
You can watch.

839
00:44:01,294 --> 00:44:03,438
uh Can I...

840
00:44:03,438 --> 00:44:10,411
So it usually if it's that kind of advance of a security system you can like contact the
people that monitor it.

841
00:44:10,411 --> 00:44:13,410
ah Can I call them?

842
00:44:13,410 --> 00:44:14,371
Yeah, absolutely.

843
00:44:14,371 --> 00:44:23,177
The you you've got like an app on your phone that connects to your home system and there's
a big red button at the bottom that says like help or whatever.

844
00:44:23,177 --> 00:44:30,976
So you hit the help button and it just dials a a phone number and gets you through to the
your security contractors.

845
00:44:30,976 --> 00:44:31,787
Okay, sweet.

846
00:44:31,787 --> 00:44:36,853
ah And I tell them, hey, my name is Chase Brown, this is my address.

847
00:44:36,853 --> 00:44:39,707
uh Someone is breaking into my house right now.

848
00:44:39,707 --> 00:44:41,198
I'm not there, but my wife is.

849
00:44:41,198 --> 00:44:43,061
Can you trigger the alarm now, please?

850
00:44:43,061 --> 00:44:44,418
Now, now.

851
00:44:44,418 --> 00:44:45,459
Yeah, absolutely.

852
00:44:45,459 --> 00:44:54,830
Um and you see on your phone like the loo the the the um alarm goes off.

853
00:44:54,931 --> 00:44:57,864
it's loud and are you watching the camera?

854
00:44:57,955 --> 00:45:03,758
If I have to watch it on my phone, ah well, I want to try to call my wife again.

855
00:45:03,758 --> 00:45:05,582
Okay, yeah, sure.

856
00:45:05,582 --> 00:45:07,989
Okay, do I need to roll some-

857
00:45:07,989 --> 00:45:10,671
she does pick up on the first ring.

858
00:45:10,671 --> 00:45:12,518
uh

859
00:45:12,899 --> 00:45:16,762
hey, uh, can I ask something before we play this?

860
00:45:18,043 --> 00:45:23,147
Are we also the kind of family who would like have practiced for something like this?

861
00:45:23,147 --> 00:45:27,270
Can I just be like, intruder, like get the gun?

862
00:45:27,298 --> 00:45:31,067
I think that's up to you whether you feel that that's realistic or not.

863
00:45:31,067 --> 00:45:34,668
Also I'm gonna have Sam play your wife.

864
00:45:34,668 --> 00:45:36,310
Okay.

865
00:45:36,310 --> 00:45:36,851
You know what?

866
00:45:36,851 --> 00:45:38,513
I decided, cause I'm not sure.

867
00:45:38,513 --> 00:45:46,052
Like I don't know that we would have like, you know, like with like your kids or when I
was a kid, it's always like, if there's a fire in the house, this is what you do.

868
00:45:46,052 --> 00:45:48,395
If this happens, this is what you do.

869
00:45:48,395 --> 00:45:48,645
Yeah.

870
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:49,666
I don't know that I would have.

871
00:45:49,666 --> 00:45:51,423
Yeah.

872
00:45:51,423 --> 00:45:56,916
discuss at least in brief what happens if the alarm goes off.

873
00:45:56,916 --> 00:45:59,724
You call nine one one and you hide.

874
00:45:59,724 --> 00:46:07,600
Yeah, yeah, and so probably that's what I would do is I would just quickly be like I
triggered the alarm Someone's breaking into the house with a knife at least one person

875
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,636
they're coming through the bathroom get the shotgun go hide in the usual place

876
00:46:11,636 --> 00:46:13,963
Okay, where's the bullets?

877
00:46:14,966 --> 00:46:16,573
They're with the shotgun.

878
00:46:16,573 --> 00:46:18,181
We've talked about this.

879
00:46:18,181 --> 00:46:19,516
you're right, you're right, you're right.

880
00:46:19,516 --> 00:46:21,040
I'm so sorry.

881
00:46:21,772 --> 00:46:23,245
I've made grievous error.

882
00:46:23,245 --> 00:46:29,174
Is her name gr the hell is What's your wife's name, Morrison?

883
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,680
Her name is Sarah

884
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,555
Alright, so Sarah sounds like that.

885
00:46:33,555 --> 00:46:34,677
I'm sorry.

886
00:46:34,679 --> 00:46:35,210
This is...

887
00:46:35,210 --> 00:46:36,102
yeah.

888
00:46:36,102 --> 00:46:37,726
This is just like the Monsters Inc.

889
00:46:37,726 --> 00:46:40,752
secretary lady from our own pod.

890
00:46:42,017 --> 00:46:42,917
Yeah.

891
00:46:43,946 --> 00:46:45,436
I'm I'm so scared.

892
00:46:45,436 --> 00:46:46,683
I'm just so scared.

893
00:46:46,683 --> 00:46:47,414
oh

894
00:46:47,414 --> 00:46:49,835
It's alright baby, I gotcha.

895
00:46:49,835 --> 00:46:50,996
okay.

896
00:46:50,996 --> 00:46:53,257
Don't talk anymore, just go to the safe place.

897
00:46:53,257 --> 00:46:54,838
You got the shotgun.

898
00:46:54,838 --> 00:46:56,479
One of my friends is calling the police.

899
00:46:56,479 --> 00:46:58,739
I've notified the security company.

900
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,572
I'm gonna switch back over so I can see the security cameras and I can tell you where
they're at.

901
00:47:08,726 --> 00:47:11,739
I'm only telling you that because I don't want them to know where you're at.

902
00:47:11,739 --> 00:47:17,133
And I'm watching now on the security cam.

903
00:47:17,282 --> 00:47:18,803
She starts doing stuff.

904
00:47:18,803 --> 00:47:25,207
She's a little slow, I think, but then realizes that here's the you know, how scared you
are in your voice.

905
00:47:25,207 --> 00:47:32,904
Your voice I feel like never changes, and so for it to change at all is probably enough
for her to be like, Oh shit, I gotta get stuff together.

906
00:47:32,904 --> 00:47:38,508
Do we have like a a well, I guess I don't know.

907
00:47:38,508 --> 00:47:47,175
I think probably the garage would be where I would go because you can hide in a car if you
have to or you can get out through the through the second door.

908
00:47:47,175 --> 00:47:50,606
Would we be the family to have like a real bunker?

909
00:47:50,606 --> 00:47:51,782
under our

910
00:47:52,076 --> 00:47:54,921
Yeah, what's our well I was just thinking what's our safe room look like, right?

911
00:47:54,921 --> 00:47:55,342
Yeah.

912
00:47:55,342 --> 00:47:57,478
Well, so, and that's

913
00:47:59,150 --> 00:48:11,050
And so I mean the other thing is like I kind of just to decide like how prepared we were
for this in terms of like over prepared or gamey or like Realistically repaired I just did

914
00:48:11,050 --> 00:48:22,130
like a luck roll and I failed so I figure we're probably like normal level of well normal
for an agent Morrison kind of person so no safe room like he's not gonna have a safe room,

915
00:48:22,130 --> 00:48:24,770
but probably We've gone to the shooting range.

916
00:48:24,770 --> 00:48:26,470
I've showed you how the shotgun works.

917
00:48:26,470 --> 00:48:28,246
We've discussed this

918
00:48:28,246 --> 00:48:33,964
And actually, if there's a home intruder, are you supposed to hide or are you supposed to
leave?

919
00:48:33,964 --> 00:48:40,731
I assume that it's probably similar to the, the, uh, like, intruder in, like, building
stuff?

920
00:48:40,731 --> 00:48:43,596
Sure, yeah, leave if you can, hide if you can't.

921
00:48:43,596 --> 00:48:47,101
Yeah, okay, and then I'm back as a last resort.

922
00:48:47,101 --> 00:48:47,438
Yeah

923
00:48:47,438 --> 00:48:49,032
So what what do you want me to do, baby?

924
00:48:49,032 --> 00:48:50,565
What do you want me to do?

925
00:48:50,730 --> 00:48:53,814
Okay, well, go to the garage like we talked about.

926
00:48:53,814 --> 00:48:55,300
Okay, okay, I got the gun.

927
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:56,886
I'm going to the garage.

928
00:48:56,886 --> 00:49:01,269
Okay, can I see like where the guys at on the security camera?

929
00:49:01,375 --> 00:49:07,361
so you're watching your wife on one camera and she's creeping through the hallways.

930
00:49:07,361 --> 00:49:09,624
Um, she's got the shotgun.

931
00:49:09,624 --> 00:49:20,134
She's in the main hallway, and as you watch, you see on the on the on the second second
door on the right, you watch it slowly open.

932
00:49:20,487 --> 00:49:22,955
hey babe, shoot that door on the right there.

933
00:49:22,955 --> 00:49:23,859
Okay

934
00:49:23,884 --> 00:49:27,370
And Hersh I'm gonna say, Yeah, sure, roll.

935
00:49:27,370 --> 00:49:33,088
She's got base firearms and a minus twenty 'cause she's shooting in the dark.

936
00:49:33,088 --> 00:49:33,725
Okay.

937
00:49:33,725 --> 00:49:35,111
That's an eighty six.

938
00:49:35,222 --> 00:49:35,982
Yeah.

939
00:49:36,584 --> 00:49:42,700
the shot goes very wide and yeah, there's nothing for a second.

940
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:47,246
Alright babe, I'm pretty sure you're- Yeah, shoot again.

941
00:49:47,246 --> 00:49:49,494
Do you wanna shoot again or do you wanna run?

942
00:49:49,494 --> 00:49:53,526
Is there a- I guess, is there a way out of our house back the direction she came from?

943
00:49:53,526 --> 00:49:54,780
Oh, okay.

944
00:49:54,780 --> 00:49:56,556
I didn't realize that that's where she was.

945
00:49:56,556 --> 00:49:59,630
I or the back door or the c

946
00:49:59,630 --> 00:50:02,370
There is a way out is what you're saying.

947
00:50:02,370 --> 00:50:02,910
Yeah.

948
00:50:02,910 --> 00:50:07,990
Well, I don't know house so well me neither

949
00:50:08,770 --> 00:50:11,224
But there should be a front door at least.

950
00:50:12,591 --> 00:50:15,320
Which side of the house is she on relative to the front door?

951
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,146
I'm gonna need like schematics.

952
00:50:17,146 --> 00:50:18,850
Yeah um

953
00:50:18,850 --> 00:50:19,817
Yeah, here we go.

954
00:50:19,817 --> 00:50:21,452
Now you're bringing hand on the door into the

955
00:50:21,452 --> 00:50:30,028
I think I think I'd like Agent Morrison to tell us what his wife does just in case she
doesn't make it.

956
00:50:30,028 --> 00:50:37,950
Yeah, I guess I'm going to say like, just fire one more shot, like center mass down the
hall and then turn around and run.

957
00:50:37,954 --> 00:50:41,019
Give me that base firearms minus twenty.

958
00:50:42,063 --> 00:50:43,084
Okay.

959
00:50:43,767 --> 00:50:47,448
Golly, I have to roll some dice super quick.

960
00:50:47,448 --> 00:50:50,664
Base firearms minus twenty is zero, by the way, but yeah.

961
00:50:50,722 --> 00:50:51,546
What?

962
00:50:53,166 --> 00:50:55,979
Have you ever seen Agent Ryan shoot before?

963
00:50:58,083 --> 00:50:58,872
Yes.

964
00:50:59,261 --> 00:51:01,296
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that.

965
00:51:01,296 --> 00:51:02,849
I thought it was forty.

966
00:51:03,313 --> 00:51:03,788
not the

967
00:51:03,788 --> 00:51:04,699
matter.

968
00:51:08,583 --> 00:51:09,443
what's your wife's name?

969
00:51:09,443 --> 00:51:10,403
Sarah?

970
00:51:10,844 --> 00:51:21,701
Sarah, the attacker has rolled a twenty-two on the unarmed attack to tackle you.

971
00:51:21,701 --> 00:51:25,894
Would you like to fight back or dodge?

972
00:51:25,894 --> 00:51:26,694
Or need

973
00:51:26,757 --> 00:51:31,694
I think canonically Sarah's like six foot five, three hundred pounds, so

974
00:51:31,694 --> 00:51:32,561
problem.

975
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:43,270
You can fight back, you're gonna have to critically succeed higher than a twenty two on a
melee or a critically succeed.

976
00:51:44,564 --> 00:51:45,679
I forget.

977
00:51:45,748 --> 00:51:46,918
Let's see.

978
00:51:47,107 --> 00:51:47,812
Ten.

979
00:51:47,812 --> 00:51:49,158
So not a

980
00:51:49,166 --> 00:51:52,009
That is neither a critical nor is it.

981
00:51:52,651 --> 00:51:59,700
So you watch on the cameras as this figure with the knife tackles your wife to the ground.

982
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:05,166
Knife in hand, the knife goes up and then it comes back down.

983
00:52:05,166 --> 00:52:08,174
And I don't know that you can bear to watch it.

984
00:52:08,174 --> 00:52:09,474
Yeah, probably not.

985
00:52:09,474 --> 00:52:12,134
I probably turn off the camera and I...

986
00:52:12,134 --> 00:52:14,054
This is gonna sound really cold.

987
00:52:14,054 --> 00:52:15,254
Uh, put the logical...

988
00:52:15,254 --> 00:52:15,794
I don't know.

989
00:52:15,794 --> 00:52:19,074
This is maybe just me like being detached as a game person.

990
00:52:19,074 --> 00:52:22,714
I'm not sure if this is me or my character, but I maybe just hang up the phone.

991
00:52:22,714 --> 00:52:25,834
Because at the end of the day, it's like there's nothing I can do about this right now.

992
00:52:25,834 --> 00:52:27,534
I've done everything I can.

993
00:52:27,534 --> 00:52:30,874
Maybe I say like, I love you, Sarah, your gravelly voice.

994
00:52:30,874 --> 00:52:32,634
And then I hang up the phone.

995
00:52:32,634 --> 00:52:34,199
Because like, else can I do?

996
00:52:34,199 --> 00:52:34,968
Okay.

997
00:52:34,968 --> 00:52:39,234
Can I actually, can I try to call back the number of the guy who called me?

998
00:52:39,234 --> 00:52:40,005
Yeah, for sure.

999
00:52:40,005 --> 00:52:42,532
Uh first definitely needed.

1000
00:52:42,532 --> 00:52:43,505
Oh, okay.

1001
00:52:43,505 --> 00:52:44,848
I like that.

1002
00:52:44,848 --> 00:52:49,334
Before so as the knife comes up, you hit redial.

1003
00:52:49,334 --> 00:52:50,723
Okay, sure.

1004
00:52:52,128 --> 00:52:58,339
Are you are you trying to prov so are you trying to make one last roll before your wife
dies?

1005
00:52:58,339 --> 00:52:59,348
Is that what you're trying to do?

1006
00:52:59,348 --> 00:53:00,089
I guess.

1007
00:53:00,089 --> 00:53:09,672
I mean, I'm, you know, it's that like, there's impending death and I'm like everything I
can think of, you know, just running through the list of options.

1008
00:53:09,672 --> 00:53:11,903
Uh gimme a straight luck check.

1009
00:53:13,165 --> 00:53:13,825
Okay.

1010
00:53:13,825 --> 00:53:14,205
Yeah.

1011
00:53:14,205 --> 00:53:20,990
Uh the knife comes up, and you see them pause for a second as their their phone rings.

1012
00:53:21,471 --> 00:53:22,272
yeah.

1013
00:53:22,272 --> 00:53:24,593
Mull, give me another unarmed.

1014
00:53:25,554 --> 00:53:28,156
No no, that's not gonna do it.

1015
00:53:28,156 --> 00:53:32,419
Uh you did get her a chance, though.

1016
00:53:32,419 --> 00:53:36,482
And I think I think and we can cut this, but if you

1017
00:53:36,482 --> 00:53:40,892
really don't like the idea of watching your wife die on camera.

1018
00:53:40,892 --> 00:53:45,061
Uh we can uh walk this any amount back.

1019
00:53:45,784 --> 00:53:47,136
Crazy.

1020
00:53:47,912 --> 00:53:49,834
I feel like I'm

1021
00:53:49,834 --> 00:54:06,188
I think he was trying to help in a way that like the dutiful dispatcher that he is does to
like silo oneself and move through that protocol to the best of your ability because you

1022
00:54:06,188 --> 00:54:07,754
know that every second counts.

1023
00:54:07,754 --> 00:54:08,632
Yeah.

1024
00:54:08,632 --> 00:54:18,376
Yeah, I mean that's pretty much what I was doing and honestly I and again if I was
personally in this situation I don't think I would want to watch that happen to my own

1025
00:54:18,376 --> 00:54:29,431
wife and just thinking on experiences I've had in the past where like stuff happened
during residency where like bad things happened uh and People were like that sucks that

1026
00:54:29,431 --> 00:54:38,190
that happened like who did this and why and I'm like I don't want to know Because I can't
do anything about it and it's just gonna make me angry so

1027
00:54:38,190 --> 00:54:39,510
I don't want to know.

1028
00:54:39,510 --> 00:54:43,370
Like it's just going to create baggage that I can never do anything about.

1029
00:54:43,734 --> 00:54:48,714
It's the inherent dissociation with we are doing, right?

1030
00:54:48,714 --> 00:54:54,458
I meant if this event is going to make Jimmy too sad, we can walk it back.

1031
00:54:55,479 --> 00:54:56,060
Great.

1032
00:54:56,060 --> 00:54:59,122
Then uh Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1033
00:54:59,122 --> 00:55:07,649
Great Yeah, then as the knife comes up, you turn your phone off.

1034
00:55:07,769 --> 00:55:09,230
Gimme a sand check.

1035
00:55:09,411 --> 00:55:12,162
That's a 53 on a 65.

1036
00:55:12,162 --> 00:55:13,551
Gotta be kidding me.

1037
00:55:13,932 --> 00:55:15,146
I know what that feels

1038
00:55:15,146 --> 00:55:15,901
Raw.

1039
00:55:16,002 --> 00:55:18,024
That does feel wrong, doesn't it?

1040
00:55:20,449 --> 00:55:22,151
fuck that, take a D4.

1041
00:55:23,074 --> 00:55:24,836
Oh Actually wait, hang on.

1042
00:55:24,836 --> 00:55:28,202
There's like there's maybe don't don't take that.

1043
00:55:28,202 --> 00:55:31,266
There's maybe a straight up penalty for losing a bond.

1044
00:55:31,330 --> 00:55:32,156
yeah.

1045
00:55:32,166 --> 00:55:33,138
Oh, good point.

1046
00:55:33,138 --> 00:55:39,628
Also like fuck it, like if you know, it could be a D four slash D eight or something like
that, you know, 'cause like damn.

1047
00:55:39,628 --> 00:55:48,816
Yeah, uh like hearing about your wife dying is not as crazy as watching it happen on a
security camera from a moving van.

1048
00:55:49,230 --> 00:55:50,456
Uh.

1049
00:55:50,456 --> 00:55:54,750
And like walking through all those steps and still being like,

1050
00:55:54,750 --> 00:56:01,598
The second the second thing with this I guess though is if you're not losing that much, it
really is how much you are compartmentalizing things.

1051
00:56:01,598 --> 00:56:06,554
How much you've become a machine for the goal that you need to get forward, right?

1052
00:56:06,554 --> 00:56:11,240
I mean that's something you'll have to reckon with when you get done with all of this.

1053
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:11,948
Right.

1054
00:56:11,948 --> 00:56:13,678
Maybe I will marry my god.

1055
00:56:13,678 --> 00:56:15,498
Yeah, maybe you will marry your guy.

1056
00:56:15,498 --> 00:56:15,818
Yeah.

1057
00:56:15,818 --> 00:56:17,560
It's your new disorder.

1058
00:56:18,861 --> 00:56:20,882
Average American, boom, got him.

1059
00:56:20,882 --> 00:56:21,743
Delete that.

1060
00:56:21,743 --> 00:56:25,785
That's too uh, you know That's too hot.

1061
00:56:25,785 --> 00:56:27,286
Too real.

1062
00:56:27,779 --> 00:56:29,070
What's your saying that?

1063
00:56:29,070 --> 00:56:42,610
64 I break it 60 so This is the like the goofiest I have just because I've been crossing
out 70 69 68 60s They've all been won like the last like six.

1064
00:56:42,610 --> 00:56:43,847
It's all been won

1065
00:56:43,847 --> 00:56:46,953
Uh this is for um helplessness.

1066
00:56:47,253 --> 00:56:47,936
yeah.

1067
00:56:47,936 --> 00:56:48,706
Okay.

1068
00:56:48,706 --> 00:56:50,664
How many of those boxes do you have checked?

1069
00:56:50,741 --> 00:56:51,658
just the one.

1070
00:56:51,658 --> 00:56:52,986
I've had a couple of violents.

1071
00:56:52,986 --> 00:56:53,856
That's it.

1072
00:56:53,856 --> 00:56:54,608
Okay.

1073
00:56:54,608 --> 00:56:56,333
Well, I think that's that.

1074
00:56:56,333 --> 00:57:00,724
I think you're pretty uh pretty rattled, would be my guess.

1075
00:57:00,724 --> 00:57:02,025
It is

1076
00:57:02,287 --> 00:57:04,790
I go back in that guy's number.

1077
00:57:04,790 --> 00:57:09,089
I save it in my contacts on my phone as, I need to kill.

1078
00:57:09,089 --> 00:57:09,846
Sure.

1079
00:57:09,846 --> 00:57:10,768
Hell yeah.

1080
00:57:10,768 --> 00:57:20,002
So I called the cops too and I gave them the address and you know, I was talking with them
the whole time and I'll say to Morrison, Maybe they'll get there in time.

1081
00:57:20,290 --> 00:57:24,107
Did anybody else watch this play out on Morrison's phone?

1082
00:57:24,107 --> 00:57:24,706
uh

1083
00:57:24,706 --> 00:57:28,906
I did not watch it 'cause I was driving.

1084
00:57:28,906 --> 00:57:36,282
I did though unfortunately fail my sand roll for the phone call just to make sure we get
back to the

1085
00:57:36,706 --> 00:57:39,458
That's one for helplessness.

1086
00:57:39,458 --> 00:57:43,216
I think I was just watching Morrison's face throughout the ordeal.

1087
00:57:43,230 --> 00:57:43,990
Okay.

1088
00:57:44,433 --> 00:57:46,917
I think that might be a sand check.

1089
00:57:46,917 --> 00:57:47,896
What do you think?

1090
00:57:47,896 --> 00:57:49,496
How emotive are you?

1091
00:57:49,954 --> 00:58:00,303
You know, like you said, I think it would kind of be, I would just take the read that you
actually gave and just be like, well, it looks like an EMT doing their job or like a

1092
00:58:00,303 --> 00:58:07,329
dispatcher doing their job, you know, and like, you know that there's more weight to it
than that, but you're like, that's a professional doing what professionals do in these

1093
00:58:07,329 --> 00:58:08,396
situations.

1094
00:58:08,396 --> 00:58:12,113
He was strong for her and I think conjunction he was strong for

1095
00:58:12,113 --> 00:58:13,420
I like that, yeah.

1096
00:58:13,420 --> 00:58:13,780
Yeah.

1097
00:58:13,780 --> 00:58:15,911
It's like the that's the car solid, right?

1098
00:58:15,911 --> 00:58:20,713
Like the whole the van itself kind of sands mole because he's insane at this point.

1099
00:58:20,713 --> 00:58:27,755
But like that is the the van is a bunch of people who have cut off everything to go do
have like an ultimate goal, I think.

1100
00:58:29,256 --> 00:58:32,908
I imagine we're miles to just be silent the rest of the time.

1101
00:58:32,908 --> 00:58:34,082
Probably.

1102
00:58:34,082 --> 00:58:36,748
Yeah, just kids about playing in the background.

1103
00:58:36,748 --> 00:58:37,178
Yeah.

1104
00:58:37,178 --> 00:58:40,387
I I mean unfortunately I just don't think Mole is like in a place.

1105
00:58:40,387 --> 00:58:41,592
Um

1106
00:58:41,592 --> 00:58:44,280
That's gonna be a crazy nine one one call, by the way.

1107
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:45,092
Yeah.

1108
00:58:45,198 --> 00:58:46,338
Yeah.

1109
00:58:47,158 --> 00:58:48,098
Alright.

1110
00:58:48,158 --> 00:58:48,858
Yeah.

1111
00:58:49,118 --> 00:58:53,318
go back to taking my gun apart and cleaning it and putting it back together.

1112
00:58:53,319 --> 00:58:56,169
MSL drives on into the night.
