Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Eat Your Young, Episode 4

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hello, friends, and welcome back to another single serving adventure from Queen's Court Games. I'm Aubrey, and tonight we are journeying, continuing our journey into the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We'll be playing Eat yout Young, a scenario for the Buffy of the Vampire Slayer ttrpg, written by me. And you can find out more information about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the TTRPG or any of that stuff by checking out our show notes. Now, while this isn't a horror scenario per se, there are some topics that certain viewers might find uncomfortable or objectionable. You can get a list of all of that stuff in the show notes down below. And the cast has been briefed on these topics and has QCG's safety tools at hand. But make sure you keep yourself safe and take breaks if you need them. No, that. That is all settled. Let's meet our amazing cast for this evening. First up, we have Most Likely to draw occult symbols into their latte. It's Saffron. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Hello. [00:01:07] Speaker A: Next up, Most Likely to make a deal with a demon so they never have to sleep again, we have Dusty. [00:01:14] Speaker C: I've embraced it at this point, why not? [00:01:19] Speaker A: And then next, Most Likely to realize the theater professor is a witch, it's Jen. [00:01:24] Speaker D: Hello. [00:01:26] Speaker A: And lastly, but not leastly, Most Likely to kiss a vampire. It's QCG's resident art czar and Queen of the Court. [00:01:34] Speaker B: That's me. Buffy the Vampire Lair. [00:01:40] Speaker A: Now that the cast has been introduced, let me tell you a story. Well, last session was interesting. Let's. Let's call it. We met up for the cast and everything. Our scoopies met up for dinner. They met up with an old friend. They started poking around. They got some names. I believe it was. Alice McLay was the name you all picked up of a possible witch that's been. Was relatively near one of the dead slayers and could quite possibly be involved. And Catriona has arrived back with Gideon Post. And I believe one of the last things that happened before we left things off last time was Jen in November, sharing a very emotional moment. [00:02:47] Speaker B: Just a conversation. I don't know. [00:02:49] Speaker A: Conversation, talking, makeup, make out. You know, talking, it's fine. Talking. Talking with your mouth very close to someone else's mouth. [00:03:01] Speaker B: That's how you talk, Aubrey. How else do you talk? [00:03:06] Speaker C: Sign language? [00:03:07] Speaker D: There are envelopes that you can use. [00:03:12] Speaker A: So, yeah, you text to speech, but yes, that's where we find ourselves. Currently, Jen has November pinned up against the screen door of the balcony of Catriona's condo in a very furious conversation. As you in the background, watch Catriona's very familiar car pull into the parking lot and park and two people get out of it. [00:03:42] Speaker B: I don't see this. There's no possible way for me to see this. [00:03:46] Speaker A: Yeah, November is likely to see this. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't think November can see it either, to be honest. [00:03:51] Speaker E: Well, yeah, I'm also kind of in the moment, you know, little bit distracted for some reason. [00:04:06] Speaker C: To paint a scene on the inside of the room. One I have put music to drown out the conversation and has slowly just gotten louder and louder and louder and louder, but hasn't been able to cut off. So there's just some really good Peak. Early 2000s emo rock blank followed by Like a Sky. It's like my playlist on shuffle. So that's what's just going. And I look at Ari's like those. So that looks like country. Do we. Do we tell them that Scotch, Rihanna's card? Because then they'll know we're looking at them, I think. [00:04:52] Speaker D: I mean, they've basically been shouting. I'm fairly certain they know that we've heard and I will be giving them shit for it for the next three years. In the meantime, perhaps we should go and meet this Mr. Post and let them have their little make out session. [00:05:13] Speaker C: That's such a good idea. I'm gonna leave the music playing and we should just slam the door when we leave. So surprises them. [00:05:25] Speaker D: Yeah, we're gonna go out and meet and meet Katriana and Gideon and we will leave the two love birds to their g noodling. I was gonna say makeup make out. [00:05:36] Speaker A: But yeah, that too. Well, so, yeah. And you said you closed the door loudly on the way out? [00:05:45] Speaker C: Yes, absolutely I do. I slam the door so it breaks the barrier of the music playing. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Well, we can figure out if they notice too much of that in just a second. We're going to continue with the other half of this group as you all make your way down to the parking lot. And you see the very familiar Catriona sort of dress a little bit more casually today, get out of the car. And then out of the other side of the car, a man who looks to be roughly Catriona's age. He is wearing sort of. It's not. It's like three fourths of a suit. He's got the jacket thrown over his arm and under one of his arms he has a box. And he and Catriona are discussing something about some sort of artifact from the 14th century France. [00:06:54] Speaker D: Of course they are. [00:06:55] Speaker A: Yeah. They're nerds. And Catriona will spot you, Ari, and Paolo, and just say, oh, I'm glad you're glad you're here. Gideon, this is Ari, one of my slayers. And this is Paolo. [00:07:15] Speaker C: Hey, one of you. [00:07:20] Speaker A: And he nods. He was like, did Cat say much about our time at uni then? And Katrina goes, no, I didn't. [00:07:33] Speaker D: Oh, what? Do tell. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Gideon. [00:07:37] Speaker C: Sort of just. [00:07:37] Speaker A: Gideon just laughs and just shakes his head and just went. We went to. We went to Oxford together. [00:07:44] Speaker D: When, of course, it was Oxford. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Of course. But, you know, this one kept getting in trouble. There was kind of a reason why she was stuck on artifact duty, whereas, you know. [00:07:58] Speaker D: Oh, do elaborate, please. [00:08:02] Speaker C: Spend a lot of time telling us about this so we can spend more time out here. Please. [00:08:06] Speaker A: Yeah, well, sure, yeah. I mean, Catriona's like, we can do that later. You've just been flying for, like, four hours. I'm sure you want to sit. Well, I actually probably don't want to sit down right now, but sure. You need a drink. [00:08:27] Speaker D: You know, I like him already. [00:08:30] Speaker C: Just. Just a heads up, we may be walking into some awkward tension. [00:08:39] Speaker A: Is everything all right? [00:08:41] Speaker C: I think so. [00:08:42] Speaker D: They're making. [00:08:42] Speaker C: Oh, well, I did. I did. Things are getting probably better for a little bit. I think we're trying to be super casual about. [00:08:54] Speaker D: It's either going to be really, really bad or really, really, like, good, but in, like, that kind of gross but cute way. [00:09:06] Speaker A: Super casual. Yes. Well, I'm glad. Quite possibly won't have to deal with two brooding college students for a little bit. I mean, Jim will be a little less broody. New info is also very good. So Gideon brought some of Natalie's things. The first slayer who died. So. Okay. Maybe there's something in there that can help us and get some answers. Oh, yeah. This is in my notes, if just for fun. And we continue this. This lovely bit. If this was a TV show or a movie and we were casting, it would be very Colin Farrell post, like 2010. [00:09:54] Speaker C: Ah, okay. Shoot him up. [00:10:01] Speaker A: And catch starts leading the way towards the condo. And that's when we'll jump back inside and see how the lovebirds are doing. [00:10:12] Speaker E: I think. I think a slammed door is probably enough to just have a little bit of a start and kind of turn and look in. [00:10:26] Speaker B: Yeah, but I. Okay, but I. I think the important question is, once we see that they're gone, what. What happens then? [00:10:41] Speaker A: Oh, you've got a couple of minutes to figure that out. [00:10:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Because, you know, if there's any desire to Keep talking. [00:10:53] Speaker E: There's not. [00:10:54] Speaker B: That's great. Fantastic. Good, because that's. That's not. That's not where I'm at either. So we can either go inside and then pretend like everything's fine and everything's totally normal and just be waiting for folks when they return, or we stay here for a minute or two. [00:11:23] Speaker E: Does. Are you, like, articulating this aloud in character? [00:11:29] Speaker B: I probably, yeah. Because on the one hand, I was like, no, I think this is, like, all internal. I was like, no, no, I think. Yeah, I think this is definitely something I'm. I'm saying and not. Not super eloquently so. Just as awkwardly as. As it's coming out of my mouth now. So. [00:11:52] Speaker E: Yeah, I. I mean, wait. Oh, where. Wait. Okay. They probably. To get Gideon. We should. [00:12:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that. That tracks. [00:12:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:15] Speaker E: So we probably shouldn't leave. We should. Yeah, we should stay here and, like. [00:12:27] Speaker B: But, like. But like. But like here, like, like outside or. Oh, like, do you want to go. [00:12:33] Speaker E: We should go inside. [00:12:35] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And I'll. I'll just kind of, like, reach around November then to, like, open the door and, like, it slides really easily. So just, like, grab the. Grab the door handle and then just, like, slide it open behind them. Just like, not. Not breaking, like, the eye contact. Just kind of like feeling around, grabbing and opening it. [00:13:09] Speaker E: Yeah, I'll probably lean in and kiss Jen again. [00:13:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Just quick little. [00:13:23] Speaker E: A little. [00:13:24] Speaker B: A little hot, a little passionate. And then. [00:13:26] Speaker E: And then. [00:13:26] Speaker B: And then a quick pull away and trying to, like, recompose and, you know, get the. Get the flush out of the faces and, you know. [00:13:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:38] Speaker B: And then. And then inside, I'll just kind of, like, gesture behind him and say, after you. [00:13:46] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, go. Maybe get. Oh, yeah, let me get some water. [00:13:56] Speaker B: Water. Sounds. Sounds great. Sounds great. [00:14:03] Speaker D: Well, meanwhile, I am complimenting Bridget on the. On her little shop cat. [00:14:09] Speaker A: I mean, you're nowhere near the shop anymore, but this is Catriona's cat or Catriona's cat. [00:14:14] Speaker D: It's Catriona's cat. Yeah. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:17] Speaker C: Who's escaped on purpose. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Cat is one of those, like, indoor out. Yeah, they're an indoor outdoor. [00:14:23] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, it's. It's Bridget's indoor outdoor shop cat. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Yep. So you. You all. Who's leading the charge back into Catriona's condo? [00:14:41] Speaker C: I'd say I'm staying a little bit back, but focusing conversation. So we have to purposefully slow down. [00:14:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:14:52] Speaker C: And you know. You know a funny thing I heard about, like, France in the 14th century. Did you know it was really stinky everywhere? Did you find that in studies? Yeah, but France especially. You know why they're experimenting with all these cheeses. [00:15:06] Speaker D: France does have stinky cheeses. [00:15:11] Speaker A: And we all know that bathing wasn't incredibly common either, as. Well, it would be once a week kind of thing. They focused more on perfumes and things like that, thinking they were right to. [00:15:23] Speaker D: Cover up the stench instead of eliminate it. [00:15:25] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [00:15:27] Speaker D: And plus the. You know, the chamber pots, those two. [00:15:32] Speaker C: Did you find any cheese relics? [00:15:37] Speaker D: What is a cheese relic? [00:15:39] Speaker A: I was about to ask the same thing. Is it a relic? [00:15:42] Speaker C: Let's all think about it a lot. [00:15:43] Speaker D: Is it cheese that is a relic or is it something with cheese that is like. Is it. [00:15:47] Speaker A: Or cheese making? [00:15:51] Speaker C: I think it's a. For interpretation. Do you think they try to make magic cheese? Do we make magic cheese now? Is there a supernatural pizzeria? I'm saying this very loudly down the hallway. [00:16:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:12] Speaker C: So they know we're coming. [00:16:16] Speaker A: Yep. Now you. You hear this cheese conversation as the door opens and Ari leads the way, followed by. By Catriona, a man you don't recognize, but you're guessing is Gideon and Paolo. [00:16:31] Speaker D: I have a very important question, which is are either or both of them blushing? [00:16:39] Speaker B: That's what the cold water is for. Yeah. It's not for drinking water. That's just gotta. [00:16:46] Speaker C: So we're just walking up to both of you wet. [00:16:50] Speaker B: No, no. At this point. At this point. At this point, I'm. I'm just propped up in my normal position on. On Catriona's counter with a, you know, a glass of water, just. Just waiting. [00:17:08] Speaker E: And I'm. I'm standing, like, kind of just in the kitchen, maybe, just like. Oh, yeah. I'm not. We're. We're not anywhere near each other. Just. [00:17:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:22] Speaker A: Space. [00:17:24] Speaker B: We look. We look super normal. Definitely not awkward or strange or flustered in any way, shape or form. Totally natural. [00:17:36] Speaker C: So. [00:17:36] Speaker B: Cash can't believe that. Yeah. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Yeah. And, you know, in Catriona goes Gideon. That is Jen, and that is November. Jen is the other slayer I watch over. And November is a promising occultist. And Gideon will wave sort of kind of awkwardly because he's got the coat over one arm and the box under the other and just sort of being like, it's wonderful to meet you. I wish we could be meeting under better circumstances, but it is what it is. [00:18:13] Speaker E: I'm sorry for your loss. [00:18:16] Speaker A: Thank you. I didn't get to know Natalie very long. Only about a year, but it's still Tragic. No matter what. And he will put the box of Natalie's things on Catriona's dining room table that you never eat at. It's always covered in books and things and weapons. [00:18:39] Speaker E: So I'm going to immediately start. Well, actually, I'm not. That's my Saffron the Player interested investigation. I was going to say I as November was going to be like, what's this guy's deal? But I think there's actually some other. I'm a little bit distracted, so. [00:18:59] Speaker A: Fair. [00:19:02] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm more focused. [00:19:03] Speaker B: Why would you be distracted? Everything is super normal. Totally not weird at all. [00:19:09] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:19:09] Speaker E: Instead of trying to figure out if he's hiding something, I'm, like, trying to act normal. [00:19:15] Speaker A: Mm. Yeah. And Catriona goes, I'll put the kettle on. Just make yourself comfortable. And goes in to start the sort of tea, the British tea making ritual. [00:19:40] Speaker D: I'm gonna make myself at home on the couch. [00:19:44] Speaker B: Yeah, there's kind of this, like, weird awkward moment where, like, nobody's saying anything and, like, I can't decide if it's because, like, people are just unsure of what to say or, like, if this was always going to happen. But, like, I think it makes. It's made worse by, like, the fact that, like, I'm kind of in a slightly, you know, distracted state. So I'm gonna just try and fill the air with anything, I guess. And I say, so, Gideon, how was your flight? [00:20:25] Speaker A: Cramped, as they usually are. [00:20:29] Speaker B: You didn't pay for extra legroom, huh? [00:20:33] Speaker A: Sadly, the Watchers Council is not that well off anymore. [00:20:37] Speaker D: Perhaps the Washers Council should invest in, like, one of the airline credit cards. [00:20:43] Speaker C: You think that's group PayPal? [00:20:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:46] Speaker B: Yeah, group PayPal. Have you heard about those? They're great. Highly recommend. [00:20:53] Speaker A: I will. If we ever form a Watchers Council again, I will bring it under advisement. [00:21:01] Speaker D: I mean, there's certainly enough Slayers to warrant one. [00:21:04] Speaker A: There certainly is. And as far as I know, there is something going on at one of the old buildings in England, but no one's really returned my calls. [00:21:19] Speaker D: Which building? [00:21:23] Speaker A: Don't remember it. Well, the Watchers. Eventually they bought a castle, I think, in Ireland at one point. I think it might be there. Of course, the Watchers own several. The Watchers Council owned several castles all around England, Ireland and Scotland. [00:21:38] Speaker D: But not extra library, apparently. [00:21:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I had to pay for my own ticket, but it's worth a. In the end, if I can help you all figure out what's going on. [00:21:50] Speaker D: That seems odd, but. Okay. [00:21:53] Speaker E: Are there. Is. Are there no other Watchers and slayers in the country who can help you out or help us out, or. Is there really. No. [00:22:06] Speaker A: We are. We are very spread thin with. If you imagine there are. I'm not even going to do the math about how many people there are in the world. And however many possible potential slayers I know there's. There may be 10 watchers in the entire United States and two of them are in this room. [00:22:32] Speaker B: Is that before or after they got like. Our numbers have been dwindling because people have been getting murdered. [00:22:40] Speaker A: As far as I know, any of the other girls didn't have Watchers. Or if they did, I can't find any information about them. [00:22:49] Speaker E: But they were slayers? [00:22:52] Speaker A: I'm operating under the assumption that, yes, they were. [00:22:56] Speaker D: Given the pattern, I imagine. [00:22:58] Speaker A: Yes. [00:23:01] Speaker B: Can you be a slayer without having a Watcher? That feels kind of like. [00:23:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Her name is Buffy Summers. [00:23:11] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:23:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it was. [00:23:16] Speaker D: I mean, I imagine it's less efficient. [00:23:18] Speaker A: But, I mean, slayer. If slayers teach each other what to do, I think mainly a lot of Watchers exist to sort of help their slayers acclimate to their new lives and help them with research. And if we had the resources or the manpower, I'm sure we would try to recruit more. But currently. [00:23:54] Speaker E: Well, anything you have to tell us can help. [00:24:07] Speaker A: I wish I knew more. I hadn't actually heard too much about the others until Catriona called me and I started looking into them. Because what I remember of the night it all happened was Natalie went to a concert. She did not return my phone calls. And then the next day, I. I hesitate to say that it was normal that she did not return my phone calls, but she was a college student and she was having fun. [00:24:47] Speaker B: Also, who calls anymore? Why don't you just text? [00:24:53] Speaker A: That's fair. But she wasn't replying to those, either. All right, well, I. I started with the texting and then escalated to calling her phone. [00:25:05] Speaker D: We should put trackers in our Slayers. [00:25:10] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure that the Watchers Council considered that at one point. [00:25:15] Speaker D: Not enough money, too busy buying castles. [00:25:17] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, they've never been that big on technology. I did hear there was a group that was really looking into that. Some sort of weird military unit. [00:25:32] Speaker D: Didn't work out, I imagine. [00:25:37] Speaker A: Nah. I mean, if it had worked. [00:25:41] Speaker C: A. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Lot of those units, you're not supposed to know they exist, so it's kind of hard to tell if it did work out. If it did work out, would we probably not hear about it? I Don't know. Speculation. But yes. I have a box of Natalie's things. I have some of her journals and a few other things. Cat mentioned that some of you can do magic. I was never all that gifted myself. [00:26:13] Speaker E: I will go over and look at the box. [00:26:18] Speaker A: In the box, there are a couple of what appears to be handwritten journals. There is a hoodie. There is a cell phone, and there are a couple other, like, accoutrements, just sort of small, little knickknacks. [00:26:36] Speaker E: Are any of these things that she had on her when she died? [00:26:44] Speaker A: He looks through the box, and he'll say, phone. And he'll pull out a bracelet. Like a little metal bracelet, kind of like one of those ones that sits. And then it's got a little bit of the gap there, and it's inscribed and says, she never went anywhere without this. It was a gift from her mother. [00:27:14] Speaker C: I would like to start looking at the phone. [00:27:18] Speaker A: It is. It is dead currently, so you will have to charge it. [00:27:22] Speaker C: I will start to charge it. [00:27:25] Speaker A: You can get it very soon. You start that process. [00:27:29] Speaker E: Meanwhile, I will sit down on the floor right near that kind of coffee. Wait, was. He said it was a coffee table or table Table. [00:27:40] Speaker A: It's like a dining room table. [00:27:42] Speaker E: Okay. Then I will sit at the dining room table, and I will take the bracelet from Gideon and see if I can see anything. [00:28:03] Speaker A: Yeah. And what is your role for that? [00:28:06] Speaker E: It is perception. Or perception and notice. [00:28:15] Speaker A: And perception. Yeah. Perception plus notice. Give me that. And your little fun little psychometry and stuff. [00:28:24] Speaker E: Yeah. Okay. Okay. That is only an 11, so it's only decent. Level 2. Level 2 for psychometry is impressions go back a week or less. Oh. If the visions are frightening, time for a fear test. This level reveals a few vague hints about the potential uses or powers of supernatural items, which I'm assuming this isn't a supernatural item, but. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Yeah, but yeah, you get. It's more of feelings from that night. You get the. You get this initial rush of excitement, adrenaline from when you're guessing she was at this concert. And that sort of turns into this sort of sluggish, confused feeling, which turns into fear, which only seems to deepen before it hits like a fever pitch and then it stops. And. Yeah, let's. Let's make a fear test just for fun, because you feeling these emotions very strongly. And how does this affect you? [00:30:01] Speaker E: So what is a fear test? Is it like you roll plus willpower, or. [00:30:08] Speaker A: I believe it is a willpower cannon. Show me the thing. [00:30:11] Speaker E: I also, since I'm an artistic and emotional soul. I have negative one to willpower roles that for. Against fear. [00:30:22] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah, it will be that. That minus one. Cool. [00:30:33] Speaker D: Okay. [00:30:35] Speaker E: I rolled a one. My willpower is four. But that's. That's a. I mean, that's a failure. That's. [00:30:43] Speaker A: That is a failure. So I'm going to need you to. That is a failure. You will fall on the panic table. We need you to roll a D10 once again, sort of see how you keep two. So on the panic table. A two or less is total terror. You are not in control of your actions. You know, you may pass out or suffer some oh so embarrassing fate. So, I mean, I imagine that this spike of fear, adrenaline, all of that just hits you really hard. [00:31:28] Speaker E: Ooh. So full on panic attack. November is hyper. I'm. I'm. You guys look over and you see, like I'm hyperventilating and shaking. And I think just like full. Like, I. I need. I. I need to get out of here. I need. I. I can't let anyone see me right now. I need to. I'm gonna, like, just kind of. Maybe I even get. Just get up and run and lock myself in the bathroom. [00:32:19] Speaker D: And I just look at Jen and I'm like, what, you just making out? Go do something. [00:32:31] Speaker B: I'm going to hop off the counter and I will head over to the bathroom and just knock on the door. Like, is. Is the. Is the door locked? It's locked. Okay. Can it not be? Can I what? Can I roll to just, like, pick the bathroom door? [00:32:55] Speaker A: That would be a Dex. Crime. [00:32:58] Speaker B: O. Well, unfortunately. [00:33:00] Speaker A: Or if you just wanted. [00:33:01] Speaker B: But we'll do. [00:33:02] Speaker A: We'll do a Dex. I mean, it's. It's a. It's a bathroom door. It's not going to. [00:33:06] Speaker B: I know it's not gonna be. Yeah. Okay, let's see. So that is 14. So just that. That's Dex and crime and D10. So that is good. Three success levels. [00:33:27] Speaker A: Three success levels. Yeah. No, you're. For some reason, you've had to get into this bathroom before or out of this bathroom while the door is locked. Who knows why? And yet you know exact what to do. You know? You know all you need is a hairpin, and you just need to hit that little button on the inside and. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Oh. So then knowing that I need a hairpin as I jump off the counter, I'm going to walk by Ari, and she's always got one hiding in her hair. So I'm just going to reach in and I'm just going to, like, pull it out of her head on my way to the bathroom. And then I'll just. [00:34:05] Speaker D: You. [00:34:06] Speaker B: I needed it. You want me to do something? I'm doing something. [00:34:13] Speaker D: Just go, go, go. [00:34:15] Speaker B: And I go and I pick the lock, and I open the door, and I'm going to slide into the bathroom and then shut the door because I. November probably does not want to have this conversation in front of everybody, because emotions. And I'm going to, like. [00:34:33] Speaker D: Cross my. [00:34:33] Speaker E: Legs, like, edge of the tub. Just, like, you know, head and hands. [00:34:40] Speaker B: Okay. I'm gonna cross my ankles and then just, like, sit, like, in that crisscross position, like, right in front of you. And then I'm just gonna kind of, like, look at you and be like, hey, what's. What's going on? [00:34:57] Speaker E: I think you've seen me this scared and overwhelmed before. When, like, around the time when I first started getting visions, it would just, like, completely, like, come over me without any. You know, without really me having control over it. And it's. I'm having kind of difficulty articulating what. What I'm feeling, you know, and I have difficulty articulating how I feel in those moments. So you just kind of, like, will be seeing me. Like. [00:35:56] Speaker A: She was wrong. [00:35:58] Speaker E: She was really afraid. I just. I. I just. I know that she was afraid. [00:36:15] Speaker B: I'm gonna reach over, like, seeing, like, the struggle. I'm gonna reach over and I grab your hands, Just kind of, like, take both of them. And then I'm gonna, like, kind of, like, rearrange my position so that, like, I'm forcing you to look at me. And then I just kind of like, okay, we're gonna breathe. Ready? And this is for. For anybody else. Like, I said that I was closing the door because I didn't want anybody to, like, hear November have this conversation. But it's also because, like, November is the only person that I can do this with. So it's very weird. It's very awkward and unsettling for me to, like, let anybody else know that I have this side of me, because November is the only one who's ever seen it, because they're the only one that I can be, like, sweet and soft and gentle with in any way, shape, or form. And it's very strange. So I just say, okay, come on. We're going to take a breath. Ready? And we're going to breathe in, 1, 2, 3. And out, 2, 3. Ready? One more. Ready? In, 2, 3. Hold it. And then out, 2, 3. You okay? Do you need more? [00:37:32] Speaker E: No, I. I'm fine. [00:37:39] Speaker B: Okay. [00:37:43] Speaker E: That wasn't helpful. [00:37:47] Speaker D: Sorry. [00:37:47] Speaker B: I mean, well, I. I mean, I guess it's good to know that they didn't just get her in her sleep. Right? [00:37:57] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Trying to lighten the mood. I don't think it's working, but. [00:38:04] Speaker E: No, she. It's super fun to know that she suffered. [00:38:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I bet. I bet. Did you happen to get anything that you think is useful? [00:38:26] Speaker E: No. No. [00:38:29] Speaker B: Okay, well, you know what? Paulo isn't quite as. Quite as much of an empath as you are, so maybe they'll be able to get something out of it. You know, they'll have some read on it. [00:38:48] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:38:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:50] Speaker E: God, I'm stuck. Oh, gosh. This is not a good first impression for the. [00:38:58] Speaker B: I. I don't think. I don't think anything of it. [00:39:03] Speaker E: Yeah, well, sure, right after Catriona says I'm all gifted, whatever, just make a complete fool of myself. [00:39:13] Speaker B: No. Oh, please. No, you're. No, you're. You're fine. And you are gifted. It just. You know, it doesn't always mean that gifts don't exist without complications. Right? [00:39:34] Speaker E: Yeah, a lot of complications. But you know that by now. [00:39:39] Speaker B: Oh, well. And I'll stand up and I'll just like, hold out my hand and go to reach for the door at the same time. Come on. [00:39:53] Speaker E: I'll take it. [00:39:55] Speaker B: I'm fine. Open the door and I'll walk out holding November's hand and I'm gonna like, look at Ari and then look at Paulo and then just kind of like squint a little bit. Like, don't say a word right now. Not the time. Don't do it. Yeah, I see you see me. I see you see me. [00:40:15] Speaker D: Yeah, I've been making tea. Just so we know. I've been making tea. [00:40:21] Speaker B: Uh huh. [00:40:22] Speaker C: I've been at my computer also charging this phone. We make no signs of being awkward at all. [00:40:33] Speaker D: Look, I know when is a good time to start wiggling my eyebrows and when's a good time to shut up and make tea. [00:40:42] Speaker B: Smart, smart. But I will, as we walk out and I will ask Paolo. Hey, Paulo, can you get anything off of the bracelet? There's a lot of emotions attached to it. So November can't get a clear read. [00:41:02] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I could check it out. I'm just waiting for the phone to charge. Anyways, I grabbed the bracelet, I'm like, oh yeah, lots of energy here. Can I make, like, can I make a perception? I want to look at this thing and because you know it's going to be worn, right? This is something that's been worn every day. Can I look at it to see if there's any maybe newer scratches and see like, if I could figure out, like, okay, there's scratches on here. Maybe there's a five. Maybe there was something slightly out of place. Maybe a drop of some weird, like, substance. A weird drug perhaps. [00:41:52] Speaker A: Perhaps. Give me a. We'll do a perception roll. [00:41:58] Speaker C: Is a perception notice. [00:42:01] Speaker A: Yeah, perception notice. [00:42:02] Speaker C: Beautiful. That's plus 10. And that's a 19 total. [00:42:09] Speaker A: Oh, 19. And that is how many levels up again? [00:42:17] Speaker D: That is five levels. [00:42:19] Speaker A: Five levels. So you do notice that the screen is sort of. It's not completely cracked, but it's got like the. One of the corners is cracked, like it was dropped on the corner. It's also 2015, but. Yeah, the phone. Oh, this, this, this is where the bracelet, the bracelet. Okay, I know I look, I know. [00:42:42] Speaker C: I'm stretching and that's going to be on purpose. So. [00:42:48] Speaker A: So for the bracelet itself, you kind of notice the way that the, like the words on it are. It looks like she probably like rubbed them quite a bit. Like, kind of rubbed the bracelet as like a. Just sort of a habit thing. And so, like, the words are kind of rubbed down a little bit and. But in sort of like the outline of some of the words, it does look like there is some dried blood. It's that sort of dark brown, coppery look thing. So you're relatively sure that there might be some blood on the bracelet. And the bracelet itself does seem to bear some marks of. Not sure if they're new or old, but if it is a thing that she wore quite often it has like defensive marks on it. It looks like, you know, it got damaged while she was using. Like she was defending herself because her wrist, like you block things. [00:43:55] Speaker C: What it looks like for everyone else is that I am holding this metal bracelet and kind of passing my thumbs along it, feeling like every nook, every scratch, every dent. And I noticed just like by looking at the dead blood as well and feel like those grooves and well, there. A lot of the emotions here are more mostly of care. This is something that was on them for a very long time. So what I'm seeing is mostly the amount of love that this bracelet gave them. You could tell that this gave them great comfort. There's also. I mean, there's. If this was very love like it was. There's like dents and scratches. I mean, clearly they went down in a fight and there is a little bit of dried blood on here. But I don't. I don't know if this is hers or whoever they were fighting, there's a way we could look at like maybe forensics or something. [00:45:13] Speaker D: So she went down with a fight, which means they didn't have the opportunity to jump her. And that in itself is information. It means we're not looking for someone sneaking up in our sleep. We're looking for someone on the street walking around. Unless there's really bad at, you know, sneaking on people in their sleep. This doesn't sound, this doesn't seem like. [00:45:38] Speaker C: You know, I'm hoping when I get that phone active I could pull up all like the location data, pull up the camera because, you know, we could see through it. [00:45:49] Speaker D: See. Can I have a little look and a little sniff? Sniff at the dried blood that we see just to see if it smells like it smells or looks like normal blood or if it seems to be creepy blood. [00:46:04] Speaker C: Yeah, you. You can, you have, you have monster smell. Weird. I mean, cool, but weird. [00:46:11] Speaker D: It's more of just a general, you know, Is the. Is the blood drying shinier than it should be or does it smell like blackberries? I don't know. The. The fruit. Not the phones. [00:46:25] Speaker A: Yeah, the phones don't smell good. If you. If you want to. If you want to attempt that, give me a intelligence doctor roll. [00:46:35] Speaker D: Oh boy. Oh, and there it goes. Hang on. That roll way off the table. Hahaha. 5. [00:46:44] Speaker A: It looks like blood. [00:46:46] Speaker D: It. I just like give it a sniff. I'm like, yep, that's blood all right. [00:46:53] Speaker C: Great sense of smell. [00:46:54] Speaker D: Okay, use. You smell the ring, Jen, or the bracelet? [00:46:59] Speaker B: I don't want to smell it. [00:47:01] Speaker A: Good. [00:47:02] Speaker D: It smells awful. [00:47:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I imagine. Oh my God. Imagine that a bracelet that somebody wore forever that is probably coated in blood smells awful. I. Who could have guessed that? I don't think you need Paolo or November to see that. That was probably always going to be the case. [00:47:21] Speaker D: Well, I will use one of Catriona's forks, I guess, or like one of her knives to just scrape out a few flakes of blood onto a paper towel. Just. Just in case. [00:47:39] Speaker C: Don't you have like tubes or something for specimens? [00:47:45] Speaker D: Oh yeah. An entire science lab right. In our apartment. [00:47:48] Speaker C: Well, I mean, you, you know, you use for rituals better than a paper towel. [00:47:57] Speaker A: I don't think I have. What is the science term for what I'm looking for? [00:48:03] Speaker D: Test tubes. Centrifuge test tubes. [00:48:06] Speaker A: Just like I don't currently have any test tubes in my condo. [00:48:10] Speaker C: Okay. I. I don't do that many rituals. I was just assuming. Ari put it like in A glass or something. You don't want it to, like, get seeped into the paper. [00:48:23] Speaker D: It's dry. [00:48:25] Speaker C: Yeah, but if it gets a little wet, it's bad. [00:48:29] Speaker D: Okay, I will put it in shot glass. Oh, does Catch gonna have shot glasses? [00:48:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:41] Speaker D: Okay, cool. I mean, given the fact that she has us for slayers. [00:48:47] Speaker B: Yeah, that's fair. While Ari's doing that, I will remember that I still have the coroner's report that Desmond gave us. And, you know, I will say, oh, you know, Desmond dropped this off earlier. It's about one of the folks who wound up dead. And I'll just kind of like, hand that over to Catriona. [00:49:16] Speaker D: Did Desmond leave, or is he still awkwardly chilling with us? [00:49:20] Speaker B: No, he left. Wait, come to the apartment even though. [00:49:24] Speaker A: He'S been here before? [00:49:26] Speaker B: Yeah, but with Gideon coming over, didn't want to have to do that. [00:49:30] Speaker D: Would have been a little. [00:49:32] Speaker B: So. Yeah, just. [00:49:38] Speaker A: Yeah. And so, you know, Catriona will take this over and. And start looking at it and, you know, look through it. And before she says anything else, she'll hold the paper over to Gideon. I don't know why I forgot his name for. For a second and say, do you this. Please tell me that I. This isn't what I think it is. And Gideon will take a look at it and goes, cat, I think it might be what you think it is. Catriona will swear in French. [00:50:33] Speaker B: I don't speak French. What is going on? [00:50:39] Speaker A: So, quite often, the older Watchers Council, when a slayer would turn 18, would give her a drug that would suppress her abilities for a period of time and then make her fight a vampire. Whatever this is in her system seems to be doing the similar thing. [00:51:12] Speaker B: So I. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm not the. I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. What? It sounds like that you might be suggesting that the Watchers Council is somehow involved. [00:51:31] Speaker A: It's either someone is or someone who knows of their practices. And yet again, it's. Or a witch or someone. [00:51:49] Speaker B: Who, outside of the Watchers Council, would know how to make something like this. [00:51:59] Speaker A: Yeah, they'll sort of share a look and saying, I believe the Watchers Council would pay witches to make this specific thing. And I. Well, I did. I do think they did eventually move to just pharmaceutical companies because it is, you know, an extract of a bunch of different herbs that would suppress the adrenal gland. [00:52:27] Speaker B: Does the name Alice McLay mean anything to either of you? [00:52:35] Speaker A: Catriona will think and shake her head in. Gideon will think and say the McLays are a very powerful family of witches. I haven't met one before, but they are known. [00:53:01] Speaker B: Okay, so Hypothetically, if a McLay, a member of the McLay family was here in Marlin Bay, like 10 days ago. [00:53:16] Speaker D: A week or so ago. [00:53:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Buying things from the local witch shop, would that. Would that be bad? I. Assuming that we also had information that may have placed her at a point in time with one of the other folks who got murdered. [00:53:48] Speaker E: Specifically your slayer. She was at the concert that Natalie went to. [00:53:56] Speaker A: Well, that's certainly not good. It would be out of character for one of them, but honestly, I. Who knows what happened in the last bunch of years with them? [00:54:17] Speaker C: They have also been traveling across the US Also. It was in similar locations to all the previous killings, right? [00:54:27] Speaker A: Yeah. Never exactly the same place, but, you know, definitely in the state around the same time. [00:54:33] Speaker C: They've also been traveling throughout the US Stopping in the same state as when the other killings happened. [00:54:48] Speaker B: Yeah. It may be less hypothetical than I let on, but it was very. [00:54:53] Speaker D: We have card statements. Yeah. Oh, and I will pull out my phone, where, of course, the profile is probably still somewhere in my searched history. [00:55:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:02] Speaker D: And I will hand the phone with the. With the beach photo to Gideon for inspection. Is there any. Any reason that the McLays may have had access to knowledge? Like how to deslayer a slayer temporarily? [00:55:18] Speaker A: Well, if I remember my slayer history properly, one of the. There was a while where One of the McLays was not involved, but was involved with an associate of Buffy Summers. [00:55:38] Speaker E: And. [00:55:39] Speaker D: That's right. [00:55:40] Speaker E: Buffy's a slayer. [00:55:42] Speaker A: Yes. Buffy is a little bit infamous of a slayer. She'd like to do things on her own and famously told the Watchers Council multiple times to fuck off. [00:56:01] Speaker D: Love it. [00:56:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:04] Speaker D: So here's. Here's my question. Putting aside for just a moment the fact that we have anti slayer juice running around in the hands of witches who may look. Who may or may not want to kill Jen and I. Is there. You know how on TV shows someone's heart stops or something and they give them a big old shot of adrenaline? Is there something that we. That Jen and I can carry. Carry around some sort of a general adrenaline shot that we can have as a fail safe, as a. As a safety measure in case. In case we get wrapped up in this? We are excellent. We are good at being aware of our surroundings, but things happen. [00:56:51] Speaker B: Oh, is there ourselves? [00:56:54] Speaker C: Would an EpiPen just work? [00:56:58] Speaker D: That's epinephrine, not adrenaline, though. Does that work? [00:57:01] Speaker C: It kickstarts the heart. [00:57:04] Speaker D: Well, right, but it's not. But Gideon mentioned it was an adrenal gland thing, right? [00:57:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Specifically the drugs would suppress the adrenal gland, which I. [00:57:15] Speaker D: Which I imagine from the name is what is what is responsible for adrenaline production. [00:57:21] Speaker E: I don't think if something or someone this. This group is going to be trying to, you know, slow down your. Why? I don't think a shot of adrenaline is going to help if they're also trying to kill you and eat your heart. [00:57:44] Speaker D: No, but it may give us the extra edge we need to get away for a moment. Like if we. If we are able to get enough space to give ourselves the stabbies. [00:57:55] Speaker B: How long does this last? [00:57:59] Speaker D: How long does it take to get into. [00:58:03] Speaker A: Being the. You know, catch her to think saying just goes. Usually it's only good for a day or so. [00:58:12] Speaker B: Okay, so let's try it. [00:58:16] Speaker A: The drug. [00:58:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I don't care. Like, I. I mean if. If we like Ari's got a decent idea and we have no idea if it'll work, but I'd rather test it beforehand. So if we can get controlled environment. Exactly. We. I mean, we know that they're not going to try and kill us until the ritual night anyway. It gives us a little bit of time. We can try it. It'll. It'll be a day. [00:58:44] Speaker E: Drug yourself. Weaken yourself. [00:58:47] Speaker D: I think just one of us, maybe. [00:58:48] Speaker B: Just one of us. Yeah. The other one will be fine. [00:58:53] Speaker C: It's. It's a stupid yet incredibly brilliant idea. [00:59:00] Speaker D: I have specialize in. [00:59:02] Speaker C: No, no, you do. You have many brilliant ideas. This is just like. This is more leaning on the other one because it's like, well, dangerous. I don't have the superpower. So. [00:59:13] Speaker D: Numbers, you know? [00:59:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:16] Speaker C: Is there Catriona, is there like a. Any spells to help at first set that we could like maybe work on. [00:59:25] Speaker A: In the time I imagine there. There is. I'd have to look through my books. They'd probably be more of like cleansing spells to remove negative effects. Yeah. A weird supernatural juice cleanse. [00:59:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:48] Speaker E: Still not a big fan of this. [00:59:52] Speaker A: It's. It's honestly not the worst idea that I've ever heard. Jen put out. [01:00:01] Speaker B: Five me. [01:00:06] Speaker A: It will take me a few days to get my hands on the stuff. It's not exactly easy to make, but I know some people and I can pull some strings and I can get us some of this stuff. And then we could also figure out. [01:00:21] Speaker C: Like adrenaline shots, couldn't we? [01:00:24] Speaker E: Putting our energy into trying to find this family and stopping them before, you know, like I mean, it's a couple days thinking about worst case scenario. Making sure your plan for worst case scenario when there are preventative measures we can try to take so that worst case scenario never happens. [01:00:49] Speaker D: Right, but real quick question. How far away is the whole moon? [01:00:54] Speaker B: Two weeks. [01:00:55] Speaker A: Two weeks. [01:00:56] Speaker D: Two weeks. Okay. [01:00:57] Speaker A: So. [01:00:57] Speaker D: Okay, we have. We have two weeks. They will likely not make an attempt before at the very, I'm imagining at the earliest, a couple of nights before maybe, if not the day of. We have time, we have time to try this in a controlled environment. And, and who knows, maybe as we are doing this, we will find more information, we will gather more context. [01:01:22] Speaker A: Catriona says if a witch wants to hide it short of other witches, it's nearly impossible to find them. We don't know who else might be involved with the family. [01:01:37] Speaker D: I told you I would have been more useful as a witch than the Slayer. But here we are. [01:01:41] Speaker A: Sadly, none of us control that. [01:01:45] Speaker C: If you don't. If you don't plan for the worst case, the worst case comes. You didn't plan for it. [01:01:51] Speaker A: And this at least lets you, lets us know if like, say an adrenaline shot would at least let you temporarily overcome the effects of this drug. I don't think it's going to negate it completely, but it may. [01:02:01] Speaker D: I would rather be able to get away. And at the very least, day of the full moon, if we are all still in one piece, Jen and I hole up with all of you and we will wait it out. We will barricade ourselves in somewhere. We will wait it out. We will make it work. We have the advantage of knowing that they're coming, knowing when they're coming, probably, or at the very least when they are going to be enacting this ritual. We have the gift of. We have the gift of foresight a little bit. And plus, with Paulo, you know, we've got a little bit of the, of the supernatural psychic crap on our side in November. [01:02:49] Speaker E: Do you? All right. Is the plan not to try to take them out? [01:02:53] Speaker C: Oh, it absolutely is, but we need to. [01:02:55] Speaker D: But we do have to make sure that we have to find them first. And we do have to make sure that if something does happen, we don't go down, or at least we have the resources to get out and get help. [01:03:09] Speaker C: I mean, it's like we're seeing the future of what could happen and we're changing it. [01:03:20] Speaker E: Have I ever been able to force a vision of the future to come to be? Or does it always just like happen? [01:03:34] Speaker A: The question I'm going To throw back at you. Have you ever tried. [01:03:38] Speaker E: That's good point. I feel like probably I've been too scared to, but it's very fair. It's also really scary right now, and I think I might just give it a go. [01:04:13] Speaker A: Yeah. What's your role for that again? [01:04:19] Speaker E: Oh, I don't. I don't actually know. Let's see. Because the psychic visions, it says most of the time the visions are not very clear, nor do they happen very often, and they cannot be activated on purpose. They just happen. No rules are needed. But. [01:04:37] Speaker A: Well, I. I do really enjoy you attempting to make one happen as a thing. So I will ask for roll, but this is. You're gonna get something. [01:04:47] Speaker E: Okay, but is it. [01:04:48] Speaker A: Are you gonna be able to make sense of what you see? [01:04:51] Speaker E: Cool. What. What stat should I roll? [01:04:55] Speaker A: Dear director, give me a willpower occultism roll. We're kind of gonna use some modified spell ca. [01:05:10] Speaker E: Okay. Okay. That is. That's a 15. That's a level four. [01:05:19] Speaker A: Level four. Because this is the first time you're doing this. You. You're concentrating on this, thinking about that moment, and it's flashing. Time is flashing. For just a moment, November, you feel. For a moment, you realize you are not in your own body in this second. You feel this pain. And you look down and there's a knife sticking out of your gut. Your hands grasp at it weakly as you fall to your knees. And you watch the blood sort of spilling out over the floor that you're very well aware of is the floor of Catriona's condo. And as you look at your hands. These are not your hands. You recognize the manicured nails of Catriona. You see this. You see a person in boots. You see combat boots. You see tactical gear of some kind. And this person, you just hear a voice that says, it'll be over soon and the ritual will begin. It's not a voice you recognize. And you hear sort of the crackling of a radio. And you hear a feminine voice say, is it done? And the man replies and says, it's done. Watchers down. Slayers are in the open. And you flashback. [01:07:15] Speaker E: Oh, boy. So, okay, what was the last thing that. That I guess Ari was talking and saying that, like, oh, we. We gotta prepare for the worst. And I think all of you saw, like, November's eyes just suddenly, like, kind of roll back and, like, saw me kind of, like, collapse and almost like. Like I fainted. [01:07:51] Speaker D: But does Jen catch him? [01:07:57] Speaker B: Ooh, you know what I have. I have fast reaction time, so. [01:08:05] Speaker A: And how Far away are you standing from November? [01:08:11] Speaker B: Better question, how far away is Catriona? Because I handed the coroner's report to them, so I would be standing close to them there. [01:08:22] Speaker A: Catriona, she's standing by, like, the. Like the. She's currently in the kitchen, sort of like standing next to the stove where she has, like, the kettle on. And so you would be in the kitchen and November, you are. Are you also in the kitchen? [01:08:39] Speaker E: I was by the dining room table. [01:08:46] Speaker A: Well, just because I want to see how ridiculous this role might be, give me a dexterity. I believe it's athletics. [01:08:55] Speaker B: Acrobatics. [01:08:56] Speaker A: Acrobatics. Yes, I'll do that. I've played way too many systems recently. [01:09:00] Speaker B: 21. That's an extraordinary. [01:09:04] Speaker A: Yeah, See? Yeah, you're. You're near flash levels of movement. [01:09:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, I would. I would say so. It's. It's very, very quick. I. I think what it is, right, is as soon as I clue into the fact that something is happening, it could have been anybody. It's not just a November thing. Okay, Don't. Don't think it's just because it's November, guys. But, yeah, I mean, as soon as. As soon as I notice it's. Something is wrong, I immediately, like, turn and just am right there. [01:09:35] Speaker E: And it's. Yeah. So you. You would catch me as I'm like. [01:09:43] Speaker D: November. [01:09:43] Speaker B: What. [01:09:44] Speaker D: What did you see? [01:09:48] Speaker C: Did you have a vision? [01:09:50] Speaker E: You're slayers. You're not. You're not the only one in trouble. Who's in trouble? [01:10:03] Speaker D: What happened? [01:10:04] Speaker E: Someone. I didn't recognize who they are. I didn't recognize their voice, but. Catriona, you were stabbed. I was stabbed. You were. They would take out the Watcher before going for the slayers. [01:10:32] Speaker D: They're smart. [01:10:35] Speaker C: Hey, look at Gideon. Did anyone try to attack you? [01:10:44] Speaker E: I'm also going to look at Gideon. [01:10:48] Speaker A: And says. Gideon says I was currently the night it happened, not home. I. But somebody did break into my apartment. [01:11:10] Speaker E: I'm gonna try to suss out what this guy's feeling right now. [01:11:16] Speaker D: Are you vibe checking him? [01:11:18] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:11:20] Speaker C: Yeah. I would like to also see if they're lying. [01:11:24] Speaker A: Give me. [01:11:25] Speaker D: I was feeling it, but that's a YouTube problem now. [01:11:29] Speaker A: You have empathy, right? [01:11:31] Speaker E: I have empathy. So it means I can tell what someone is feeling when I roll perception and notice. [01:11:37] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. Give me the sweet perception notice roll for both of you. [01:11:43] Speaker E: Okay. That is a 15. That is very good. [01:11:51] Speaker C: I got a 16. [01:11:54] Speaker D: 15. [01:11:55] Speaker A: 16. Very good. [01:11:57] Speaker E: I can't necessarily tell if someone is lying, but I can tell if they are nervous or scared. [01:12:13] Speaker B: Yeah, there's. [01:12:14] Speaker A: There's like. Or smug. [01:12:18] Speaker E: Confident. [01:12:20] Speaker A: He's not smug. He's not confident. He. He definitely seems. He seems very worried for Catriona. He looks over at her and he. You. There's a lot of worry and me thinking of how to phrase these specific emotions and concern, worry, concern. And I get in his stats, I rolled for him. So sort of see what he is feeling. And especially because you're kind of catching him a little off guard with this. So worry, concern, most of it seems to be directed towards Catriana, you know, and especially kind of sizing you up specifically, sort of, you know, didn't really know too much about any of. Any of the non slayers here. So it's slightly like kind of respect. Yes, maybe. You seem very capable and he respects that. [01:13:50] Speaker C: Well, h. Now, we don't know if they're going to be going after you on the same day, do you? Your vision was. It doesn't sound like you. I mean, I don't think if you were dying you would look at what time it is. So. [01:14:13] Speaker D: I mean, I think it makes sense for them to do things as quickly as possible, if we can. Because if the slayers catch on that something is wrong with the watchers we become, we go on high alert. I think this has to happen in quick succession for it to be effective. [01:14:27] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, not that I don't think you two are not capable, but we're going to have to keep a closer eye on you two. Gideon, I don't know if it's safe if you go anywhere. Well, maybe. Unless they want to go after you still. Because your slayer is dead. [01:14:46] Speaker D: The problem is anyone catches. Anyone catches a British person running around in this town, if the wrong person catches it, they're going to know exactly what's up. Brits don't come to New Jersey. [01:14:55] Speaker E: They just don't. [01:14:56] Speaker C: It's. It's a tourist season. It's a rule here for the ice cream. [01:15:01] Speaker D: But it's with all the love in the world to both of you. The way that both of you dress and speak screams watcher to anyone who knows what to look for. [01:15:15] Speaker A: And Gideon is sort of nods and says, yeah, unfortunately they do kind of make us in a factory. [01:15:23] Speaker D: The same damn suits, the same you even walk the same. It's very strange. Anyway, maybe it's an Oxford thing. [01:15:31] Speaker A: It's probably something to do with the British schooling system. [01:15:40] Speaker D: But we. But they're right. We should. We should try and stick together as much as possible. This May be a. [01:15:50] Speaker A: Oh, that's going. [01:15:50] Speaker D: To make school difficult. [01:15:54] Speaker A: I think you should at least probably. And Catriona says I think you should at least probably be safe during school hours. As long as you're around groups of large groups of students, you should be fine. I don't think they would want to tip their hand like that. [01:16:09] Speaker D: Right. [01:16:10] Speaker B: I have to be around other people for the foreseeable. [01:16:14] Speaker A: Unfortunately Jen, the other person could be November. [01:16:21] Speaker B: It's not a big group if it's just two people. [01:16:25] Speaker A: I @ least travel in the. At least travel in the buddy system if you're going to be going anywhere. Buddy system when we can institute regular check ins via text message or phone call. [01:16:40] Speaker B: Don't they have and I'll. [01:16:45] Speaker E: Oh I was just saying. Gonna say buddy system should apply to you Catriona in Gideon. [01:16:50] Speaker D: Yes. [01:16:52] Speaker B: That'S a good point. Don't they have those like parental control things where you can like keep other people's phones? [01:17:03] Speaker D: What life 360. [01:17:06] Speaker C: Oh, that's no. [01:17:07] Speaker D: Or find mine. [01:17:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. There's. There's something, there's. There's something that you can like see your like friends locations or whatever. You can just like share that. So like maybe we should just share our locations with each other until this whole thing is over and done with. [01:17:25] Speaker C: I just want to say as someone who uses this data very regularly to like you know, get clients lots. These things are very hackable. I'd rather we just stick together in person. [01:17:42] Speaker D: Well, I mean aside from that as a. As a secondary measure obviously buddy system is going to happen no matter what but just so different buddy groups can keep track of each other as well. [01:17:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:17:52] Speaker D: Because obviously we're not going to be running around in a massive group of six or seven if Desmond's around. But. [01:18:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:18:06] Speaker D: You won't be. [01:18:07] Speaker C: Huh. Sure. So okay. By the way, during all this I want to be doing two things I want to been once the phone I'm sure it's like oh like charge enough to turn on. I want to kind of like like jailbreak and go through like all their camera stuff, location information, that kind of stuff. I also want to be looking at all the inns and hotels in our very small town are nearby and see if I could hack into their website to see if there's any recent reservations paid by cash. [01:18:52] Speaker A: Yeah, give me a. We'll just do one intelligence computers role for these. [01:18:59] Speaker E: Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. [01:19:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:19:06] Speaker C: Sure. These are my utter character. Dyson, you're loving me right now. [01:19:11] Speaker A: That's 15A15 so yeah, you are able to get into the phone. It's, you know, she didn't set an incredibly complex passcode. It literally birth year, you know, it's the second thing you tried. And so you can do that, go through location data. You know, there's, there's lots of, there's lots of photos to go through. So the photos themselves are going to take a while and you're also sort of looking and so there isn't a like hotel or anything that's been recent like, or would align with like the 10 days ago. There is no. Are you looking at things like, like BBS and things like that? [01:20:08] Speaker C: I would assume like, if I, if, like I know there's not really like a hotel rn, I would go to like the next best thing would be like, you know, airbnb, that kind of stuff. Whatever people would use to rent out a place to see if there's anything suspicious because like if there was a charge to some place, I would see it at least if they're using this card, they may have multiple cards, but you know, I would know what the places around here are like. [01:20:34] Speaker A: Yeah, so there is a, there is a, it's about an hour or so north. There's a different beach town and they, there was a check in same day that's still there and it was paid by a, a very, very fancy card. You know, it's kind of like the, the kind of codes that are reserved for like government member. [01:21:12] Speaker D: Oh, a government with the metal. [01:21:27] Speaker C: So I think right after like this information comes up, right as we were like talking about this buddy system was like, by the way, I was like typing away. I saw, I was looking through the nearby like, you know, rental services if someone's staying here. And there's one really interesting one about an hour out. This is like a high security fancy card for like a government entity or something. Oh, the. [01:22:04] Speaker E: Which the, the person in my vision had like, like combat boots like, or like look like maybe like a, like a military uniform. [01:22:17] Speaker D: I don't know if kind of like those units that weren't supposed to exist and no one was supposed to know about. [01:22:25] Speaker C: What the. What kind of are we in? I thought this was just something just for us, but now we're dealing with. Oh yeah. Okay. Well, it's something to look into. Not closely, I assume, but close enough is. That's, that's good information, I think. Yeah. Ooh, scary. [01:22:48] Speaker E: I thought we were dealing with a magical witchy cult, but now, now it might be the government. [01:23:00] Speaker C: Is there a job on Slayers. [01:23:05] Speaker D: Well, does the government know about slayers? [01:23:10] Speaker C: They have to. [01:23:13] Speaker A: There was. Yeah. Gideon will speak up and saying. I believe there was a. There was a group called the Initiative for a while. [01:23:30] Speaker D: Sounds ominous. [01:23:33] Speaker A: Very. I. I don't know too much. I just happened to get my hands on some of some journals from a watcher who had encountered them. Ms. Laird. Encountered them. So. [01:23:49] Speaker D: And they were a government entity. [01:23:51] Speaker A: A government entity set up to hunt monsters. [01:23:58] Speaker D: So they were encroaching on Slayer. I wonder if they're. I wonder if they're getting territorial. [01:24:04] Speaker A: It is certainly a possibility because that. [01:24:07] Speaker D: Sounds like something that a slayer might. They might. They might encroach on each other's. You know. [01:24:18] Speaker C: So witch is working with this government agency. [01:24:26] Speaker E: Maybe? I mean, or rogue watchers. What was that? What did. What did he. That. That puppet that we. The corpse puppet that we saw on the first day. Who. Who we were warned about the family and. [01:24:49] Speaker D: The family. Yes. [01:24:51] Speaker E: Was that it? [01:24:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:24:53] Speaker D: The Ohio man. [01:24:55] Speaker C: Mr. Ohio. [01:24:59] Speaker E: You don't know anything about this, right? [01:25:02] Speaker D: The family, Father. Ohio. [01:25:06] Speaker A: It's. It's. Family and father are such generic terms. [01:25:10] Speaker D: Yes, I imagine. [01:25:12] Speaker A: Yeah, they were. But I've certainly never been to Ohio. [01:25:18] Speaker D: You're not missing much, is there? Yeah. I imagine family and father in various familial terms would be fairly popular for cults. That's how they get you. [01:25:38] Speaker A: I. I can certainly see if I know any contacts that know anything about the Initiative of maybe. Could be X members. [01:25:50] Speaker D: Right. How do you become an ex. Member of something like that? [01:25:58] Speaker C: Not on good terms. [01:26:00] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't imagine there's a long list of folks who aren't a part of that anymore. In my experience, and I say experience, but of course it's mostly just watching weird documentaries on, like, Netflix and hbo. Yeah. Cults don't really like it when you leave. [01:26:23] Speaker D: Right. [01:26:24] Speaker B: They do a lot to make sure that you don't without them being able to, like, destroy your life in some way. Right. [01:26:33] Speaker D: And if for some reason they kick you out, they usually do something creepy like wipe your mind. [01:26:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:43] Speaker A: Well, I certainly think looking into this witch is probably one of our next things to do. [01:26:51] Speaker D: Right. [01:26:54] Speaker A: If we can find out anything about this ritual. [01:27:00] Speaker D: Well, does that. Is this the part where you both say it's time to hit the books? [01:27:08] Speaker A: No. You just did that for me. [01:27:11] Speaker D: Time to hit the books. And I look at both of them for approval. [01:27:15] Speaker A: I'm just like, ari. Your phone vibrates. [01:27:21] Speaker D: And I pick up my phone. [01:27:24] Speaker A: It is a text message. Just. Ouch. Just indulge Me, my sheer curiosity, if Desmond was in your phone, is it his full name? Is it Des? Is it D? Is it a nickname? [01:27:38] Speaker D: I am definitely the type to just put just full name, just Desmond. [01:27:43] Speaker A: Okay. Is there a photo as well? [01:27:47] Speaker D: There is it. It is it at some point and like anyone who has seen my phone, like in the past, you know, couple of years would know that it, that it has gone from a, a photo of the two of us to a photo of him. A rather unf. A rather unflattering photo of him. But yeah, it is just Desmond. [01:28:18] Speaker A: Yeah, there's a text message from him and it just says we should probably talk at some point. [01:28:31] Speaker D: And everyone just watches me just make exactly that face. Just the. At my phone. And then I think I leave the poor man on red. [01:28:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:28:46] Speaker D: Just like, I don't. I. There's too much information coming at me right now. Luckily, I am a smart woman and do not have red receipts on. So he will not know that I have read it. He will just know that I have not responded yet. So maybe you haven't seen it yet. [01:29:03] Speaker A: Maybe knows I'm a busy woman. Yeah, yeah. There's certainly quite a bit going on, isn't there? [01:29:15] Speaker D: And yeah, I put my phone back and maybe like 10 seconds pass. [01:29:23] Speaker C: And. [01:29:23] Speaker D: Then take it back out and I just text him tomorrow night diner. [01:29:35] Speaker A: He will. Yeah, It'll take like 30 seconds or so. You'll get a reply and says the typing bomb. I'll be there. Yeah. [01:29:46] Speaker D: And I give him a thumbs up emoji and just quietly slide my phone back into my pocket and rejoin the conversation as if I've been paying attention the entire time and not been super distracted by this stranger in the blue text. [01:30:06] Speaker E: If we're hitting the books, I definitely would like to try to use that autopsy report to help pinpoint if there's like, you know, I, I had that like dream about the first ritual, like the ritual, I guess the most recent ritual rather than the first or second ritual, but had a dream and seeing if I can connect some of that information in any like, places that we started to get with that. Using what the autopsy report to kind of fill in gaps and see if there's like, we can better pinpoint what the ritual was for. [01:30:51] Speaker A: Okay. I will say that Catriona has quite a few books. Magic is one of the ones that she's a little, A little lacking in. So it will be a very difficult role at A minus four. [01:31:04] Speaker E: Okay, good at occult. What would this be? [01:31:12] Speaker A: Occultism, Intelligence. Occult. Yeah. [01:31:14] Speaker E: Yeah. Okay. [01:31:15] Speaker D: I'M decent at it. I might have. I might have something in my Amazon Kindle library. [01:31:25] Speaker B: I am definitely dumb when it comes to the magic side of things. [01:31:29] Speaker C: So I. I have some as well. [01:31:35] Speaker D: I cannot. I can certainly check what I have. [01:31:39] Speaker E: Okay. [01:31:40] Speaker C: Is there anything I could think of with my photographic memory? [01:31:47] Speaker A: Probably not. [01:31:49] Speaker C: That's fair. [01:31:51] Speaker A: So I don't imagine you've gotten your hands on many witches. Grimoires. [01:31:57] Speaker C: You mean that without trying? [01:32:00] Speaker E: If it's occultism plus intelligence minus that 4, it comes to a 12. So a decent. [01:32:11] Speaker A: A decent success. You don't find it itself, but there is. You come across references to rituals specifically about absorbing power. Lots of talk about how the heart is sort of like considered by many groups to be considered like a powerful organ. Like where like our soul, whatever is. And some places believe, some cultures, some myth. Mythologies. There's a lot of heart eating and sort of involving. The eating of the heart is an involving transfer of power from one person to another. Don't find the exact ritual, but you find a lot of references to it. [01:33:05] Speaker E: We're looking for someone who's hungry. [01:33:10] Speaker A: Power hungry. [01:33:13] Speaker D: I was going to say I'm hungry. Maybe if we just hang a sign on my window that just says fresh hearts here, it'll work. No slayer hearts. Just $1.99. [01:33:31] Speaker C: No. [01:33:35] Speaker E: Gotta know how to take them. [01:33:38] Speaker B: I mean, Halloween is next month, so, you know, you're just. [01:33:42] Speaker D: Oh, we'll get a break for one night. Thank. [01:33:48] Speaker A: Just. [01:33:49] Speaker D: Just one night. We get a break. [01:33:59] Speaker C: Month. [01:34:02] Speaker D: What could possibly go wrong? [01:34:04] Speaker C: Everything. [01:34:05] Speaker D: We can at the. We can at the very least start by testing this adrenaline crap. [01:34:13] Speaker C: Let me wait till I could get to my guy to actually get the adrenaline shots as well. [01:34:20] Speaker A: As I said, it'll take a couple days for me to get this ingredients anyways. Yeah, it's not exactly common. [01:34:31] Speaker D: Right. [01:34:32] Speaker C: You found out, right? Yeah. Have the photos begun to load up yet or is this going to take like maybe a couple hours? [01:34:47] Speaker A: It's probably going to take a couple hours. You can kind of like start going through because like this Natalie appeared to have this phone for like four years or something. So there's like four years worth of photos on here. [01:35:01] Speaker C: I am going to choose not until we get the most recent photos because I have no use and I don't want to snoop on this person's stuff because they're not a client and I gain nothing from it. [01:35:13] Speaker A: It's fair. They're very dead. [01:35:16] Speaker C: They're very dead. So I'll hang that on the side and just. Do we Want to read here? Do we want to order takeout? Do you want to go somewhere? [01:35:27] Speaker D: Oh, take out. Yes, please. [01:35:32] Speaker A: I Chinese want their. Everyone want their usual? [01:35:37] Speaker D: Please. [01:35:37] Speaker B: Do I have to be here? [01:35:39] Speaker D: Yes. [01:35:40] Speaker B: You know I'm no good at this stuff. [01:35:43] Speaker D: Yes, but you are moral support. And also, I would really rather not have you running around alone. If you want, you can always put on the CW over in the corner there. Find a good CW show. [01:36:00] Speaker A: I. Jen, I do believe that you should still probably patrol. But take someone with you. Doesn't have to be anyone here. You can at least don't patrol alone. [01:36:16] Speaker D: Hey, Desmond. [01:36:16] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:36:18] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, this probably has nothing going on the next couple days. [01:36:22] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll shoot him a text and just see what he's up to because he was gonna just go brood in a cemetery right now, so I can't. [01:36:30] Speaker D: Imagine he may as well be useful brooding in a cemetery. [01:36:33] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. So I'll just. I'll send him a quick text. [01:36:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, he'll. He'll happily agree to meet you somewhere for patrolling. He's bored. [01:36:48] Speaker B: I assumed so. [01:36:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:36:51] Speaker B: So I'll. I'll grab my stuff and just tell everybody to keep me posted and head on out. [01:37:03] Speaker E: Before you leave. I'll just go get. I come by tonight. [01:37:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, just text me when you guys are done over here, okay? Okay. [01:37:22] Speaker D: And I think once Jen is out the door, I will pull my phone out again and just text Desmond. Don't get either of you dead. [01:37:35] Speaker A: And you'll get a text message back saying, don't plan on it. Gotta. Gotta meet you tomorrow night. Jesus. [01:37:46] Speaker D: Jesus. There is just a look of no November Impala. You'll definitely see just that this ever so slightly and then just me putting my phone back into my pocket. [01:38:06] Speaker C: You got a note about your student loans or something? [01:38:10] Speaker D: Yep. They're overdue. [01:38:14] Speaker A: Now. [01:38:14] Speaker C: You're lying. [01:38:16] Speaker D: You asked about my student loans. [01:38:22] Speaker C: When did she look in November. Just like. Okay. [01:38:29] Speaker A: Secrets. [01:38:32] Speaker D: I'm also not paying student loans since I am actively in school and they won't kick in until anyway. [01:38:38] Speaker C: See, I told you you were lying. [01:38:41] Speaker D: It was a post. [01:38:46] Speaker C: Not good, my friend. [01:38:51] Speaker D: Maybe I'll take you off the PayPal. [01:38:54] Speaker C: I thought you would own it. [01:38:58] Speaker A: Well, Jen, you meet Desmond. Meet up with Desmond. And you. You certainly during this night, off screen, you. You certainly encounter you some killer plants. We're going to say killer plants. You have at least a. You know, there's always something weird going on and tonight it's killer plants. You and Desmond get to at least get your energy out on something. [01:39:28] Speaker B: Well, thank God I have a lot of, a lot of energy right now for some weird reason. [01:39:35] Speaker D: Would we have activated our Find My Friends software before you left? [01:39:42] Speaker A: There's certainly a time I, I don't know, Jy. Would you have, would you have allowed them to activate that on your phone? [01:39:50] Speaker B: I mean, I was the one who suggested it, so probably it'd be weird if I was like, yeah, all of you. Like, I want to know where you all are, but you're not allowed to see where I am. Yeah, no, I, I probably would have just. [01:40:06] Speaker D: Yeah, this group life, 360 thing. [01:40:11] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you, you do that and then we'll end tonight's session with Jen knocking on November's door back on campus. [01:40:30] Speaker B: Well, wouldn't it be November knocking on Jen's door? [01:40:32] Speaker E: Yeah, I think November would go because. [01:40:38] Speaker A: I mean, someone's knocking on someone's door. [01:40:41] Speaker D: Someone's knocking on something. [01:40:43] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [01:40:50] Speaker E: I, I, yeah, I think I would, I would go to November's place or. No, I'm November. [01:40:58] Speaker B: Yep. This is so flustered. We're so flustered. [01:41:02] Speaker D: No, it's actually, I think sometime in September right now. [01:41:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:41:07] Speaker D: Yep. [01:41:08] Speaker E: I would go to Jen's place and, and just be like, I always. [01:41:23] Speaker D: I. [01:41:23] Speaker E: Always sleep better when I'm able to share the night with you. [01:41:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I don't know. There's something, there's something kind of comforting about having you close even when you have your nightmares, you know, And I'll like, as you know, we're having this conversation with my door just, like, slightly ajar. I'm just like picking, like, little, you know, like, thorns and stuff from my arms because the plants, you know, they're not very big. They're just kind of more a nuisance than anything else, but I'm just kind of like picking at them. And I'll let November in and close the door. [01:42:19] Speaker E: I will gently put my hand on the arm where you're, you have these thorns that you're picking out and just kind of brush it slightly. [01:42:38] Speaker B: The flesh wound, you know, Desmond got it worse, actually. He got like a hole, slew of them just right in his right butt cheek. It was really funny. It was really funny. But, you know, a few on my arm is. [01:42:57] Speaker A: It's nothing. [01:43:05] Speaker E: I still, I don't like seeing you get hurt. [01:43:09] Speaker D: Nah. [01:43:10] Speaker B: You know, part of being a slayer. Right? I'm not dead yet, so not a problem. [01:43:21] Speaker E: I'll make sure that doesn't happen. [01:43:24] Speaker B: I appreciate that. I'd like to not be dead, so. Yeah. I, I have that, that blanket that you like in the, in the closet if you want to, if you want to grab it. [01:43:44] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:43:44] Speaker B: I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it, but, you know, I didn't want to see it, so. [01:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah. And as November grabs the blanket from the closet, as the door shuts, we get a quick look at what everyone else is doing. Paolo, how are you closing out this night? [01:44:10] Speaker C: I think the night closing. I have finally up loaded the pictures to the most recent and so I'm going to be one, not only looking at the pictures, but scrubbing through the metadata while also eating some spicy cashew chicken with some chopsticks. [01:44:29] Speaker A: I still had Catriona's condo. [01:44:33] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, I, I don't need that much sleep as we've determined. [01:44:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. College students. It's sleep. Sleep is a recommendation. It's a, it's a suggestion. [01:44:48] Speaker C: Not a good one either. [01:44:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And as you're, as you're doing this, you know, you. It's the last photo in her camera roll. It's blurry, but sort of taking a look at it and trying to clean it up as much as you can, you're staring at a very large, very hairy creature. And we'll cut to Ari. [01:45:33] Speaker D: Oh, I've got some concerns. So I think this is a little bit of a. It's one of those double pain shots where I am. I've got my phone out and I seem to be debating and there is a quiet little ping as I hit the add to. As I hit the add to family button or invite to family button on this live360. And in the other pane we Desmond's phone ping with a notification that he has been invited to join a Life 360 family. [01:46:18] Speaker A: A little confused, but yeah, he'll, he'll after a second join and see all. [01:46:24] Speaker D: These dots and we found. And I, I take a moment to just check to make sure that he is safe at home. Whether or not his butt cheeks are intact. I just take a moment to make sure that he is. Exactly. Exactly. I take a moment to make sure that he is safe at home. And I plug my phone in and I climb under the covers and go to sleep. [01:46:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. You know that Desmond has, it's. [01:47:07] Speaker E: Where does he live anyway? [01:47:08] Speaker A: He owns a house. Technically. [01:47:12] Speaker B: Is it a shack? [01:47:14] Speaker A: It's not a shack. It's, it's, it is like it was that there's a house in town that he, he bought before he died. [01:47:24] Speaker D: Well, that's sad. At least I can still use it, though, like. [01:47:28] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [01:47:30] Speaker D: Not many people continue to use a house after they've died, so, you know, little perks. [01:47:33] Speaker A: Yeah, and look, no one ever reported him dead. [01:47:38] Speaker D: Exactly. Because he's still walking around. [01:47:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I won't see anywhere. He was turned to the 90s. [01:47:46] Speaker D: Okay? [01:47:47] Speaker A: He's perpetually, like, 26. [01:47:50] Speaker D: Okay, cool, cool. [01:47:53] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And we see that. Yeah, you see that? As the camera zooms out, we get one last shot of Gideon and Catriona over the dining room table, just pouring through all of these books, making notes, brewing cup after cup of tea. They don't look like they're gonna be sleeping much either, as we fade out on the end of another day. And there are 13 days remaining until the full moon. Well, that is the end of this session. We'll toss it over to my players to let them tell you who they are and where you can find them on the Internet. And we'll start with you. [01:48:44] Speaker E: Safety. Yes, I am Saffron. I feel like I say hello in a weird way every single time, but that's. That's me. You can find me at Gaube H E F T A on like all of the social media platforms. And I'm also part of Mind night ceremonies media. I've done some actual play shows with them. And our shows are also part of the Rainbow Roll network. So shout out, Rainbow Roll Network. And that's it for now. [01:49:28] Speaker A: And then next is Dusty. [01:49:32] Speaker C: Hello. Hi, I'm Dusty. You could find me on all of the interwebs, mostly me at Dust E. Hill. That's the letter E. No, why? You can also find me on so many things, mostly with Aubry. You can find me at GOB to Gaze and where I'm cast and co producer. I'm in the Blood of Kings campaign and our new tyrant of the dark Star. I'm playing two very different characters. One. No, no, just listen. It's good. It's great. Also in bring your own mech, where I play like the worst person you could imagine. And they're also mercenary with a giant mech. That's also great. [01:50:16] Speaker A: Just the worst person you can imagine has a giant mech. [01:50:20] Speaker C: Exactly, exactly. It's butt also has a giant mech. So there's like one redeeming quality is that they like that they serve. And then you can find me running and co producing and waving force, which is Star wars podcast using Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Very fun, very gay, very tragic. So many things I do. Also finally check out my itch. Also At Dustyhill Itch IO I have silly games. I have fun games. Again, probably more recent than not.

If people want to see you and see more of the things that you do and find more reasons to love being gay and watch your gay disasters, where can they do that? [01:53:24] Speaker A: Well, you can find me everywhere on the Internet at Mad Queen Cosplay or the Mad Queen, depending on the website. Usually one of those two will pop me.

I run Tyrant of the Dark Star, our Bloodborne inspired Pathfinder 2e and I am the storyteller for Last of Eden's Vices, a vampire, the Masquerade thing where you may see many people.
