Lighthearted - Weird Magic, Episode 3

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Hello, friends, and welcome to another single serving tabletop adventure from Queens court games and our amazing friends over at Tabula Sono. Tonight, we are continuing with episode three of our lighthearted playthrough. It's a game of neon magic and emotion by Kurt and Kate Potts, and it's going to all be lovingly rendered in a 3d virtual tabletop. You can find more information about light hearted by checking by typing. Damn it. I pulled an Aaron exclamation point scenario in chat or taking a look at the show notes. If you're catching up on YouTube or listening via podcast. Aaron, please don't be mad at me. I love you to pieces. This is a wonderful eighties coming of age movie, but even the campiest of films can contain topics that that certain viewers might find uncomfortable or objectionable. You can get a list of these topics by typing exclamation point safety in chat or checking the show notes. The cast has all been briefed on these topics, and we all have QCG safety tools at hand, so please make sure to keep yourself safe and take some breaks if you need it. Now, with all of that settled, let's meet our amazing cast for the evening again. First up tonight, for the third time, voted most likely to win the lottery, but lose the ticket. It's QCG. Social media maven, Laura. [00:01:28] Speaker B: Hi. [00:01:31] Speaker A: Voted most likely to be late to graduation, it's QCG's technical director, Aubrey. Hello. Our first guest of the evening has been voted most likely to get away with anything. It's Logan. [00:01:46] Speaker C: How are you? [00:01:48] Speaker A: And lastly, but certainly not leastly, they were voted most likely to create inventions that would show up on infomercials. It's tabula lo sonos, community manager and our director for the evening, it's Kato. [00:02:00] Speaker B: Bonjour. [00:02:02] Speaker A: And you all know me. I'm Vee, of course. With introductions out of the way, I'm gonna toss it over to Cato. [00:02:12] Speaker B: Salutations, my friends. Here we are, back again into the magical world of light hearted, as played by Tabby La Sono and the beautiful people at Queen's court games. Here we are at the at the party at the thaumaturgy club, wherein Gary and Wyatt, the two nerdiest people on campus, somehow invited the entire student body to the rager of the century, wherein we find our intrepid group of adventurers, all four of them, this seemingly unlikely band of heroes from disparate groups who've all come together in one way or another for whatever reason. [00:02:52] Speaker D: Hmm. [00:02:53] Speaker B: Perhaps they are the chosen, and they have been invited to this party wherein strange things have happened, I mean, both socially and magically. Let's be real from a socialist perspective, Devin was slighted by the love of her life, Tegan Clark, who is now currently dating the most egregiously douchebaggiest of drug dealers, Jeremy Moss, the Moss boss, who, in point of fact, happens to be the same dealer who is dealing to our own Angelica Greenwood, played by V. Devin. Tell me a little tea about how you feeling right now after all of that? [00:03:37] Speaker E: I feel very confused. I'm very confused, especially since I was technically sleeping with both of them at the same time. [00:03:44] Speaker B: I love that narrative. You mentioned that in the last game, and I was like a skunk. [00:03:48] Speaker E: Yeah, it's like. It's just like. [00:03:53] Speaker B: What deep poly feels. In 1987, our own Jeremy Moss, who. It's unclear what the relationship that Angelica has with him, aside from the fact that he very plainly provides her with the go go juice that she most desperately needs in order to be the leading lady in all of these school plays. Vee, how are we feeling? [00:04:23] Speaker A: Whew. You know, I wasn't expecting a fight to break out, but I'm really happy now that I have taken all of those dance classes. It has taught me a lot about how to move my body, and it certainly came in handy. But I think I definitely have more questions now than I did before. [00:04:50] Speaker B: And maybe we will answer those questions this session. Our dear, sweet Maxine Max, played by tutu dove, headfirst into the fray. Max, how you feeling? [00:05:04] Speaker D: You know, I, like, I wasn't expecting similarly to Angie. I wasn't expecting a fight, but there was a fight. I threw a chair at somebody's kneecaps. I watched Angie and Dante both thoroughly molly rock people on two separate occasions. Little proud, not gonna lie. And now we've got this weirdo with a weird face and weird fangs, and I'm not sure what's going on. And when I get confused like this, I start to get irritated. And Angie knows what happens when I get angry. [00:05:42] Speaker B: Hash punchybaby. Oh, no. Just watch Tutu turn off their camera. Oh, no. [00:05:53] Speaker A: Rip. [00:05:53] Speaker B: And our prophetic and prolific and certainly profound Dante cats, played by Logan. What's happening in Dante's world? Because this is some heavy stuff. [00:06:09] Speaker C: Dante is, you know, as you know, he's connected to the magic of the world. There's just some deep connection, and that might give him a sense of, like, purpose and maybe importance, but all he knows is someone is badmouthing his favorite band, and he's kind of just like, what the fuck is going on? Who was Mister Mullet McMullison over there? And what's with this darkspawn fuck. [00:06:35] Speaker E: What? [00:06:35] Speaker C: I. No, not cool. Not cool. He's just really confused and a little, little peeved off. A little angry as a treat. [00:06:44] Speaker B: That's right. [00:06:47] Speaker A: They said that they were, they were weenies, right? That's the roadies. Yeah. [00:06:53] Speaker D: Yeah, the roadies. [00:06:54] Speaker A: For. [00:06:55] Speaker B: For Dante's favorite band. For those of you just joining us now, Dante's favorite band is my emotional sausage. We're in. [00:07:03] Speaker E: T shirt in the store. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Hash t shirt in the store. Can't wait to get mine. Wear it to Gen Con, wherein Dante had very lovingly named the roadies weenies. Oh, these sweet sausage links. [00:07:21] Speaker C: When last we left, our sausage links are fans because we're all connected. [00:07:24] Speaker B: Oh, sausage links are the fans. Got it, got it, got it, got it. Exactly, exactly. [00:07:28] Speaker C: You're all connected by our active, emotional sausage. We are connected. [00:07:36] Speaker B: I cannot believe the amount of, of canon we've built for this mini campaign. Like, we are playing a hot minute of sessions regarding this. And yet here we are. And I love every second of it. Ugh. It's brilliant. Our quad of misfits had made their way over to the thaumaturgy club's epic, epic bash of the season, where they saw and met all of their various bonds. As they are in this game. They're kind of their deep ties that will help them to do anything and everything, but also hinder them in anything and everything. They met a strange sort of fae creature of sorts who seemed to have a pretty heavy magical influence over this party overall. And when we had session before last, we had heard an epic crash from the garage wherein everybody rushed into the garage where we found a 1985 gold cutlass, a red jeep ragtop, and a brand new Corvette driven by none other than our own Angie Greenwood. And we found a swarm of five seemingly dark spawned creatures had broken into the party where Devin had epically swept the legs out from under one of them with a kayak paddle. Dante had hurled a wrench and one that had a face that was practically blown off. Angelica also had kind of inspiring Dante in her own action, had hurled what she knew specifically to be a sledgehammer because she's taken technical theater classes right at one of those darkspawn as well. And our own Maxine had whipped a folding chair, taken the knees out from one of them, and was standing on the neck of one of them trying to get answers. And when we last left our group the evasive Fae creature known as Lorelei had made her way into the garage space and said, what's all this then? And that's where we last left off. Party. Take it away. [00:10:05] Speaker E: I'm still holding the kayak paddle and I kind of like branch of shit. Like, what the fuck's going on? Like party. [00:10:18] Speaker D: Or lie, right? [00:10:20] Speaker B: She stands there grinning at you. She's got this kind of golden skin, this like, kind of like chartreuse y green into yellow into red hair. And she goes, that's right. Now what happened here? My goodness, what a kerfuffle. [00:10:42] Speaker C: I'm getting bad vibes. I'm getting so many bad vibes. No, not good, not good. I don't like this. [00:10:48] Speaker E: I don't like not good, not good. [00:10:50] Speaker C: I don't like this. That was some shit. What? [00:10:55] Speaker B: The Dante saying all of this out loud? [00:10:57] Speaker C: Yes, absolutely. Dante has broken his veneer of broody I don't give a shit because he just hit someone so hard in the face and they crawled out of the garage. It's just like, okay, fuck, my armor of goth protection has fallen. And now I'm just like, fuck this. [00:11:18] Speaker B: What? [00:11:19] Speaker A: Oh, oh. [00:11:21] Speaker B: I can't imagine what had happened. And she looks around at the carnage and she goes, oh my. I guess burglars have broken in. How terrible. I should go tell Gary and Wyatt. And she plans to leave. [00:11:36] Speaker D: Lorelai. [00:11:40] Speaker A: Yes. [00:11:41] Speaker B: And you hear her just in this room moving her way over. [00:11:47] Speaker A: I'm gonna follow after her, I think, because where is she going? This is, now it's very obvious that she is a lightborn, correct? So this is not correct. Yeah. So first off, weird. Did not know that there was a lightborn here. And after seeing a whole room of darkspawn, seeing a lightborn is kind of a big deal. So I'm gonna run up to her and I'm gonna grab her arm or make an attempt to grab her arm so I can stop her and then see if I can convince her to talk to me. [00:12:29] Speaker B: And as you grab onto her wrist, pass this through your hand, but she feels you and she turns around, she goes, yes. [00:12:42] Speaker A: Hi. Angelica Greenwood. Lovely to make your acquaintance. Your skin glows. I mean, as you can see, I love the sparkle of your skin because obviously, and I kind of gesture to all of the glitter on my body. Um, you'll have to excuse me. I have to admit I was not really expecting to see a lightborn here, especially after dealing with whatever was in the garage just there. So do you mind, before you go and talk to Gary, and Wyatt, do you mind talking to us back in the garage about what's going on? [00:13:27] Speaker B: I don't have anything to say to you, my dear. And she turns to leave and starts making her way out to the patio. And as she does, you take a look around the room and the partygoers who had originally been dancing and drinking and having a good time and all of this, they seem to be doing it sort of mechanically. There's a little bit of like a. They may be dancing, but it's a little bit as if they can't stop. Or it seems as though it is the sort of, like, created scenario where someone else is controlling the good time that they are having in this regard. And you notice that the light in the room is sort of this kind of, like, bluish indigo tone, and it has definitely shifted from what you had experienced of like that. Kind of like greens and yellows and pinks that you had walked into originally. [00:14:31] Speaker A: Jeremy's still here in the corner where he was just kind of hanging out. Is he still posted up over there? [00:14:36] Speaker B: He is still posted up over there with his arm swung over the shoulder of Tegan. [00:14:44] Speaker A: Oh, great, he's over here. [00:14:53] Speaker B: Yes. [00:14:56] Speaker A: I'm gonna walk straight up to him, and I'm going to say, hi. Hello. Can I borrow you for a second? And I'm not gonna wait for him to respond. I'm gonna grab his arm, and I'm gonna pull him away from Tegan. [00:15:15] Speaker E: I'm also backing Angelica up on this. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Yeah, tell me. Tell me where Devin is in this regard. [00:15:24] Speaker E: Right behind Angelica. And I still haven't even dropped this kayak paddle. Cause, like, you know what the fuck is going on. I need something to, like, ground myself. And that has become this kayak paddle. Yep, exactly. Kind of holding it like I'm backing up just in case, like, I don't know, this party suddenly becomes, like night of the creeps or something, and everybody is acting weird. So it's just like, yeah, we should not go off alone. Buddy system. Buddy system. I'm the last person to say it. [00:15:57] Speaker A: But buddy system, look it, I'm the main character. Nothing bad ever happens to the main character. Character. [00:16:04] Speaker B: Hashtag final girl, you clearly have never. [00:16:06] Speaker E: Seen, like, a lot of. I mean, bad things happen to you, but you survived, but traumatized. [00:16:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Mood. [00:16:15] Speaker A: Therapies for the next generation. Come on. [00:16:20] Speaker E: We just do drugs about it. [00:16:22] Speaker B: Ow. That hurt my heart. As you yank Jeremy away, as your ying turned me away, he goes, hey, hey, hey, babe. Easy. What's the matter? What's going on not having a fun time anymore, Angie. [00:16:41] Speaker A: Look, Jeremy, first off, you know how I feel about Angie, so if we could not. But also, I need your perception, I guess. And I'm just gonna, like, post up next to him and just kind of point out everybody. And I'm just gonna say, since you've been here, obviously, like, you are somebody who's incredibly attentive. These folks haven't moved since I was in here. Have they moved at all since you been here? [00:17:22] Speaker B: I don't know. I guess I wasn't really paying attention. [00:17:27] Speaker A: Oh, my God, Jeremy, you are so useless sometimes. You got. You got nothing. Okay, fine. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any which way? Like the lights changed at some point? Are you feeling okay? [00:17:49] Speaker B: Oh, Angie, come on. [00:17:52] Speaker A: I feel great. [00:17:54] Speaker B: Let me have you make a. Let me have you make a check. You're in an orange heightened attentive status, and I'm gonna have you make a mental check. [00:18:04] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:18:06] Speaker B: So those two combined. [00:18:08] Speaker A: Let's see. My mental. I'm not super mental. That's all right. We'll figure it out. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Sure. [00:18:15] Speaker A: It'll be fine. [00:18:17] Speaker D: Uh, that's a seven. [00:18:21] Speaker A: Point of horse. Better than half or. Yeah, better. Better than average. Above average. So that's all right. [00:18:26] Speaker B: I see a point of order from Laura. What's up? [00:18:29] Speaker D: I think you can technically use hearts to re roll if you don't like something. [00:18:33] Speaker B: Correct? [00:18:35] Speaker A: That is true. And I do have three hearts, and I haven't re rolled, so I will. [00:18:39] Speaker B: No one has. Yeah. [00:18:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:18:41] Speaker A: I will use a heart. Do I re roll the whole thing or do I just. Can I pick, like, one dice to re roll? Do I have to reroll the whole thing? Okay. [00:18:50] Speaker B: I would assume mistaken. [00:18:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:54] Speaker B: You know what? I'm gonna go ahead and make an executive call and say, do the whole thing. [00:18:58] Speaker A: All right. [00:18:58] Speaker B: Cause it's more fun that way. [00:19:01] Speaker A: Well, fudge muffins, it's worse. That's a five. [00:19:07] Speaker B: A five? [00:19:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh. But I think we keep. [00:19:11] Speaker B: You can keep rerolling as long as you can keep rerolling your heart on that. You can spend a heart and reroll again as long as you don't get a snake eyes. So. Yes, you do reroll both dice. [00:19:24] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. And then we keep the best or the most recent? I think it's the best, right? [00:19:30] Speaker B: I think it's the most recent. I'm pretty sure. Pretty positive thing. [00:19:36] Speaker D: It's page 33, re rolling dice. If you don't like the result of your dice roll, you can spend a heart to re roll. You may continue to spend a heart and reroll keeping the best result. However, if you roll, stuck with it. [00:19:50] Speaker B: Okay. [00:19:50] Speaker A: Okay. All right, cool. Well, then. Seven. So I wasted a heart for nothing. So seven. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Hey, how about it? [00:19:56] Speaker A: Yep. Love it. Love to see it. [00:20:00] Speaker B: You take a look around the room, and you do notice that kind of mechanical behavior. But the thing that kind of sets you off about this, I would say a seven is enough to notice this. The thing that kind of sets you off and makes you very ill at ease is Tegan is just standing there, arms at her side, staring straight. [00:20:20] Speaker E: And if I see that, I'm kind of gonna move over and be like, t, what's up? [00:20:28] Speaker B: And Jer goes, don't worry about her, Dev. It's all good. [00:20:32] Speaker A: What? What happened? That's. Jeremy, that's not normal. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Yeah, that's normal, but she's fine. Don't worry. She's happy afterwards. Uh. [00:20:52] Speaker E: Urge to hit with paddle rising. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I know, right? Um, interesting. Well, God, I know. I'm getting ready to hit this guy with a paddle, too. Okay, can I interact with Tegan at all? Just interacting with her in any way? Going up and poking her or whatever? Nothing. [00:21:26] Speaker B: She does seem to be just standing there, staring straight ahead. And when Jeremy eventually goes, you're fine, right? Tease. She goes, yeah, I'm fine. [00:21:43] Speaker A: No, don't like that. Yeah, I'm. I'm gonna agree with Logan on this. You guys can't see our trap, but Logan just said drug dealership. Drug dealer. Telling me someone acting strange is good, is such a bad feeling. And I absolutely agree. It doesn't feel right in any way, shape, or form. And I don't know what to do about this except to physically remove Teigen from the room. [00:22:14] Speaker E: If you give me the look for me, I might be able to do that. [00:22:20] Speaker A: I would actually put myself in between Jeremy. Cause I'd pulled him away. So I would put myself between him and Tegan at this point and kind of, like, look at Devon as I'm doing this and kind of, like, give her the look that she would know is like, okay, you gotta do something about this. And I'm gonna try and, like, block Jeremy from. From getting back to her. [00:22:45] Speaker B: Sure. And as you. As you approach Jeremy and you do this kind of very. Because you are so well versed in the theater arts, you know exactly how to counter somebody on stage. So you track him around and kind of pivot him around. If we're looking at the VTT here in Tabula Sono, you pivot him around this way. As you bear down a little bit onto him in that regard. And Devon makes her way in and stands next to the inert Teigen. As you counter and begin to have these conversations, we are going to smash cut over to. What are Dante and Maxine doing right now? [00:23:31] Speaker D: Well, we still have the downed weenie. [00:23:35] Speaker B: Correct. You have a downed weenie? [00:23:37] Speaker D: Mm hmm, mm hmm, mm hmm. And they are swearing up and down that they have no idea what's going on. They don't know, these guys. They don't know why they're here. [00:23:45] Speaker B: Correct. You have your. Your laced converse on their chest, and they're like, oh, God, please, this really hurts. Just let me go, please. [00:23:56] Speaker D: Dante, what do you think? [00:23:58] Speaker C: Uh, I don't. I don't know. This is weird as hell. I I don't recognize him. Why. Why would you. What are you doing? Like, why are you coming in through here? I don't get it. [00:24:12] Speaker A: I just do what I told, man. [00:24:14] Speaker C: Who was that guy? And I'm, like, gesturing to where the. [00:24:18] Speaker B: Mullet man was, and he looks over his shoulder and looks out and goes, I don't know, man. He seems like he's kind of the muscle in the whole thing. I don't know. [00:24:36] Speaker D: You lying to us? [00:24:39] Speaker B: Ooh. Make a mental check with your emotional status. [00:24:45] Speaker C: Can I do that as well? [00:24:47] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely. Or if you want to assist, you can take the highest die roll of all of it. [00:24:53] Speaker C: Sure, I'll help. [00:24:57] Speaker D: I think I'm gonna say that I'm probably still very much in the red. Cause screw this guy. [00:25:03] Speaker B: Yeah, you're pissed. [00:25:05] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay. That's an eight. That's an eight and a four. [00:25:11] Speaker C: I got you a five, so probably. I don't know if you want to take that one. [00:25:17] Speaker B: I mean, it's pretty delicious. It's great. [00:25:19] Speaker D: I'll take the five. So that's a 13. [00:25:21] Speaker A: Doesn't the eight explode? [00:25:23] Speaker C: Yes. [00:25:23] Speaker B: Oh, the eight would explode because. [00:25:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's your. [00:25:26] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the eight explodes. Okay, so I just roll again? [00:25:30] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:25:34] Speaker D: That's a six and a four. [00:25:38] Speaker A: You just roll the d eight again. [00:25:39] Speaker D: Oh, just roll the dn. So that's a six. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Yeah. So 19. [00:25:43] Speaker B: Okay, so a 19. Yeah. As you. As you put more pressure on his chest, and then you pivot your toe and just smash his face a little bit into the ground. He's like, listen, man, all I know is his name is David, and he's head of security. That's all I know. [00:26:02] Speaker D: Head of security where? [00:26:04] Speaker B: At the venue, man. [00:26:05] Speaker A: At the venue. [00:26:06] Speaker B: At the venue. That's all I know. He's at the venue. He's at the. It's that. It's that music venue. You know, it's in the basement of the video shop. The video store where you all go. [00:26:20] Speaker D: Yeah. Director, I'm assuming with Dante being the fanboy that he is, you would know exactly. [00:26:27] Speaker C: Yeah, I would assume. [00:26:28] Speaker B: I know exactly as he pins you down. You know exactly that there is a video rental store that in the basement is this kind of seedy, low ceilings, you know, two dollar Schlitz pbr moment, wherein you see all of your punk bands are there, and you know exactly what this venue is called, which is. [00:26:57] Speaker C: Oh, no. Are you having me name it or is it in here? [00:26:59] Speaker B: Yes, I am having you name it. [00:27:01] Speaker E: Because I think it's more fun when. [00:27:02] Speaker B: You name it because you already named so many good things. [00:27:05] Speaker C: Okay. [00:27:06] Speaker B: On the spot. On the spot. [00:27:07] Speaker C: It's a punk venue underneath a video store. So, like, oh, shit. And then my dogs decide to be excited. I just want to do something that's connected to a video store. [00:27:22] Speaker E: So, like, video nasties or something? [00:27:27] Speaker C: No, I want to say that they have to keep a little bit more, like, so they don't get, like, the city after them, because, like, you can. You can't just name your place something like, we're awful otherwise. This is fair. How about just like, the rewind? [00:27:44] Speaker B: Yes. This is exactly what I wanted. And I'm gonna cry because I am actually basing this music venue off of the very specific venue that is in after hours bar in Kansas City behind the Screenland armor movie theater. And I was going to call it rewind. And you named it the rewind. And that is what. Where you're going with. Because it's canon. And shout out to panic fest, KC. Love you guys. Anyway, best genre film festival. Anyway, so as. As you put your converse foot on and you're pressing to the ground, he goes, the reeline, man. The rewind. It's just a rewind. And you just look over to Dante, and Dante goes a little bit pale and goes, that's a real mind. [00:28:33] Speaker C: Can't do it. Rewind. It's like a temple to me. [00:28:36] Speaker B: You know? [00:28:37] Speaker D: What the fuck is going on at that place, Dante? [00:28:39] Speaker C: I don't fucking know, but we need to get there now. [00:28:43] Speaker D: Shit. You screw boy. What's your name? [00:28:49] Speaker B: Kevin. It's Kevin. [00:28:52] Speaker D: Okay, Kevin. What's gonna happen is I'm gonna let you up, okay? We're gonna help us get to the rewind. And if you don't, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull more orange. Actually, no, I'm gonna pull red light in and lace my fingers and make a very intentional, like, hand gesture towards his face. I'm gonna potentially, you know, like, fry your eyebrows off. At the best case scenario, just my eyes. Do we have an understanding? [00:29:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, we've had an understanding. Can you please stop stepping on my face? [00:29:31] Speaker D: I think about it for, like, another 2 seconds, and then I lift my foot. [00:29:36] Speaker B: Oh, God. Okay. All right. I'll take you to the rewind. It's password only, but. But. Okay. [00:29:51] Speaker D: You're working the show, right? You're a weenie. You'll be able to get us in anywhere. [00:29:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:30:00] Speaker B: Provided David's not there. [00:30:02] Speaker D: Yeah, we'll be fine. You'll make it work, Kevin. I have faith in you. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, great. [00:30:12] Speaker D: Go sit in the fucking corvette. [00:30:14] Speaker B: Okay. And you just haul him to his feet and just hock him into the back of the corvette, which top down, of course. Always top down. And you two are keeping eyes on this. And we're gonna cut back over to Devin and Angelica, who are in the other room taking a look at the scene here. [00:30:35] Speaker E: I was gonna ask that. I was like, I don't know if anything works this way or if I could just spend extra heart to do this, but I do have right place, right time, which just kind of allows me to bamf. Would it be possible to just wrap my arm around Teagan? I will spend more than one heart for it and just sort of bamf us out of here? Like, maybe back to the garage, where it's just like, hi. Please help. [00:31:02] Speaker B: I would say that you could spend a heart and take Tegan with you. We're gonna bend some mechanics here. I think Kurt would be. It would be in the spirit of the gameplay, and we could say that you could. You could bend the mechanics here and bamf to the garage, just because getting back to two of the people that you trust very much as Angie is kind of interrogating Devon here or not. Devon, I'm so sorry, Jeremy. I would say that you could do that pretty readily. Spend a heart and do that. [00:31:31] Speaker E: Yep. It's just this sort of orange cloud of smoke. [00:31:36] Speaker B: Sure. I'm gonna go ahead and assign Tegan's token to you. So that means that in, when you go into Tabula Sono, you can move both of those. So feel free to grab Tegan, who was right next to you here. There you go. Nice. Excellent. [00:31:52] Speaker E: We are now in the garage, which is sort of poof. [00:31:56] Speaker B: Yep. As you. As they appear before you. You've already hooked Kevin into the back of the corvette. You see a very looking. A very angry looking Maxine, a very perplexed and haunted looking Dante, perhaps when Dante fell through the rift, it happened one night at the rewind. But before we get into that, what's happening with Angie? Let's have this conversation over here with Jeremy. [00:32:26] Speaker A: Yeah. So what does it look like when Tegan and Devin Coof away? [00:32:35] Speaker B: What does it look like? Devin? Can you tell us? [00:32:39] Speaker E: There is like, this sort of almost sound of like a snap as I gather the magic and sort of throw it around us. And then there's like. It's not like, massive, it's not like smoke machine, but it's just like, poof. Like smoke bomb kind of, but, like, dissipates real quick of at this time, orange smoke. [00:33:04] Speaker B: I imagine that it's sort of like a Lego and kind of, like, goes out and then sucks inward as if it was kind of sucked away from the central point. [00:33:14] Speaker A: And how does. How does Jeremy react to that? [00:33:19] Speaker B: He kind of looks over and he goes. Looks back at you. [00:33:26] Speaker A: Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? [00:33:30] Speaker B: What do you mean? Just how you're living life. It's college. [00:33:34] Speaker A: Yeah. You're acting really weird. You and I have known each other for a really long time. You're acting really strange. This interaction that you just had with Tegan. Really strange. [00:33:49] Speaker B: Yeah, sure. You know, all I gotta say is, we're in college, honey. People change. So maybe you should. He glances down at your character, she just looks back up at you. Change. [00:34:09] Speaker A: Oh, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy. I don't think I will, but thank you for the advice. Yeah, don't think I'll be taking it, but, you know. [00:34:28] Speaker B: Ah, that's too bad. He could have been one of the precious popular girls, I guess. But, uh, if this is how we're gonna leave it, then I guess this is how we're gonna leave it. You just call me if you run out of a supply. And he leans in and he puts one hand just on your cheek and tucks a thumb around your ear, and he goes in as if he's going to kiss you. And he veers to the side and kisses you lightly on the cheek. He goes, pat, pat on your cheek and pulls back, and as he pulls back, you get the faint whiff of this sort of, like, sweet cologne that is covering a smell of decay or smell of something more sinister underneath. And he goes, huh. Well, since you're friends with that Dante kid, I guess I'll see you at the emotional sausage show. So until then, Angie. And he backs out and he walks away from you. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Okay? Okay. Okay. Okay. Cool. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Great. [00:35:59] Speaker A: Cool. Sorry. Just, like, so many thoughts all at once. This is. This is fantastic. And just. Just for my. For my sake, this. This is not a scent I've ever noticed on Jeremy before, is it? [00:36:16] Speaker B: No. It is never a scent you've noticed on Jeremy. [00:36:19] Speaker A: Okay. [00:36:21] Speaker B: I would say you could make a mental roll, plus your emotional status, to see if you smelled it before. Like a history recall, to see if you've smelled it before. [00:36:29] Speaker A: Sure. I can do that. Cause that is a. Yeah, definitely not. I rolled a three. I'm gonna. You know what? I'm gonna spend a heart, because. Why not? I'm going to do this because I'm not going to jinx it by saying there's no way that I could roll worse than a three. Well, I rolled a six. [00:36:55] Speaker B: Oh, wait, hold on. [00:36:57] Speaker A: Wait, hold on. Because the floor was on my four, so. Yes. So seven out of 1212, possibly a. [00:37:10] Speaker B: Seven out of twelve. You have experienced a scent before. You're not entirely sure where you remember it from, but you know it's not good. Yeah, you certainly know it's not good. You certainly know that something larger is afoot. You certainly know that Jeremy is at the helm. [00:37:36] Speaker A: Okay, I have a very important question. If I were to run back to the garage, are there any of the facial bits still on the floor somewhere? [00:37:52] Speaker B: Because it's more fun cinematically? Yes, there are. [00:37:55] Speaker A: Okay, so I'm going to run back to the garage because I have an idea, and I would like to see if it works out. So what's going to happen? I run into the garage. Everybody's in there talking with Tegan, doing whatever, and I'm going to push past everybody and scramble for face pieces that are on the ground. I'm on my hands and knees, like, using my little familiar to kind of try and give me enough light so I can find any of these pieces. [00:38:26] Speaker E: Well, okay, so over here, like, please. My girlfriend is acting weird. Wait, no, she's not my girlfriend. [00:38:31] Speaker B: But she's like, wait, but she might be my girlfriend. Maybe she's also positive. [00:38:36] Speaker A: I don't know whose girlfriend. [00:38:37] Speaker B: Gay panic. Help. I'm gonna. I'm gonna say, you know, we've done a lot of motor checks and we've done a lot of BoD checks, I. [00:38:48] Speaker A: Would say for you. [00:38:49] Speaker B: So we've got mental sway, glam, and psych. I think you're in such emotional distress right now. Psych makes a lot of sense to me. [00:38:58] Speaker D: Okay. [00:39:00] Speaker B: This is, like, someone that you thought. I mean, he's a drug dealer, but you've known him forever. You've known him for a million years. You just had this very emotionally fraught moment. I would say psych would be a very compelling role to make. What is the table thing? [00:39:14] Speaker A: No, I think it makes a ton of sense. Absolutely. [00:39:17] Speaker B: All around, narratively. Yeah. Okay. As vy. As Angie pushes past everybody and just kind of, like. Everybody's kind of, like, stumbling backwards, you know, like, Tegan's standing there, and she just kind of gets pushed into the wall. And you beeline your way around the other side of the jeep, kind of near where Maxine is, where this. This other creature or person has been laid out who has now been allowed to. To get to their feet. And you start kind of, like, scrambling through the. Through what is somewhat like blood and viscera, maybe a fragment of skull. Go ahead and make a mental role. Plus your emotional state, plus, I'm gonna say, implement your center of attention feature that you have as part of your rising star character, because you are making this moment as much as you're making it about what is happening cinematically. You are also making this very dramatic moment. [00:40:19] Speaker A: I definitely am. Well, actually, I mean, I guess. Yeah, that's. Cause that's the dramatic over center stage. Yeah. Cause I have two. I have two malfunctions. I have center stage, and I have dramatic. One of them is being overly dramatic, and the other one is making it about myself versus helping somebody else. [00:40:39] Speaker B: I think you are helping other people, but I think you're being overly dramatic. [00:40:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:40:44] Speaker B: Personally, that would be my guess. But I'm also open to interpretation from other people. [00:40:48] Speaker A: Oh, I am definitely not making this, like, this is not, like, a quick thing. I am making a huge show of trying to figure this out. I'm trying to do it quick, but I also want people to like what's going on. Right. Like, all eyes on Angelica at this moment. [00:41:03] Speaker B: Yes. As we can along. Along the whole thing. [00:41:12] Speaker A: That is a 15, because my eight exploded. [00:41:19] Speaker B: Holy moly. What are you looking for? [00:41:23] Speaker A: So what I'm looking for is any, like, the larger pieces, right? If there's, like, a chunk that I can. I can see, because what I'm looking for is a piece that would be large enough to have that sort of scent of decay about it, because I want to see if it's the same sort of smell and if what's happening to Jeremy is what was going on in here. [00:41:52] Speaker B: I sent you a little whisper. You sent me a whisper. [00:41:57] Speaker A: Oh, my God, oh, my God. All right, so I make this huge, big sort of show. I find the piece. I stand up, and I, like, take a breath. And at this point, everybody, I'm sure, is really disgusted at the fact that I have this thing in my hand. [00:42:12] Speaker B: And your hands are covered in chira. [00:42:15] Speaker A: Like, oh, yeah, absolutely. And I just take a set and I just. Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. You want. Oh, my God. [00:42:28] Speaker D: Okay, there you go. [00:42:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:42:30] Speaker E: Can we get the non valley girl translation, please? [00:42:33] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:42:35] Speaker D: Okay, you guys, what the fuck? [00:42:38] Speaker A: It's. It. But you don't. Okay, okay. [00:42:42] Speaker D: Words. Use your words, babe. [00:42:44] Speaker B: And she holds up this pile of viscera in her hands and, like, shoves it right under your noses. [00:42:50] Speaker E: Oh, God. [00:42:52] Speaker A: Yeah. It's not a great smell, is it? No, it's not. And then I look at Devin, but. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Devin. [00:43:00] Speaker A: That'S what Jeremy smelled like just now. [00:43:04] Speaker E: Has Jeremy ever smelled like that before? I asked the director. [00:43:11] Speaker A: No. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Yeah. It's not. [00:43:16] Speaker E: I just thought I maybe because I got a little bit more intimate with him, then I might smell different things. [00:43:21] Speaker B: You, especially, having been intimate with him, you have never, ever smelled something like this. It is rot mixed with the scent of lilac mixed with. It's an obscure, bizarre smell. [00:43:42] Speaker D: Is anybody gonna fucking elaborate? [00:43:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:44] Speaker A: This is gross. No, I'm not. Because you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna run out of the garage, and I'm gonna run up to one of the people that are dancing in the other room. [00:43:57] Speaker E: We have Teagan right here. Check. [00:43:59] Speaker A: Oh, that's fair. Fine. [00:44:01] Speaker B: You can recon it. Retcon it. Yeah. [00:44:04] Speaker A: So I run up to Tegan, and I grab her by the shoulders, and I just pull her in and just like. Just like, right in her, like, neck hair just all up in it. Yeah. There is no personal space right now. [00:44:18] Speaker B: As you very intimately sniff Tegan, and you see Devin's eyes kind of, like, widen a little bit. Even though Devon is a little bit of a player play. It's a little bit like, hey, hands off my girl. [00:44:31] Speaker A: Not Devin's girl no more. [00:44:33] Speaker B: It's the exact same. [00:44:36] Speaker A: And I'll just, like, shove her into Devin, and I'm. Now I'm gonna book it out of the room again, not saying anything. I'm gonna book it out of the room, and I'm gonna go up to the closest person that's dancing in the other room and sniff them as well. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Sure. Yeah, that would be this person right over here who is kind of, like, dancing a little bit. Like, you spend enough time around some gothy figures in your day that, like, they're dancing. Like, goths do. Not quite bauhaus, whipping around and whirling near a fireplace, but doing the goth sway. Yeah, doing the goth sway, but it is really, like, kind of mechanical and distant. And as you catch her by the side, you, like, lean in and smell her neck. She, too, smells of this exact scene. Lilac and decay. [00:45:27] Speaker A: I'm just gonna let out, like, not like a. Not like a scream, but I guess like a shriek because. Oh, my God. It's a. It is a very important distinction. [00:45:42] Speaker B: It is everywhere. [00:45:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:46] Speaker B: As you do this and as you kind of, like, peer out onto the. To see if anybody else outside is behaving weirdly, you notice that stacy morgan is gone. [00:46:00] Speaker A: Gone, gone. Like, gone. But, like, is. But everybody else is still here. [00:46:07] Speaker B: Stacey morgan is not at the party anymore. Let's go back over to Maxine. [00:46:20] Speaker D: I hate it when she does this. [00:46:22] Speaker C: Do you think she's, like. She got high in, like, the. Like, the last couple of seconds? [00:46:27] Speaker D: I mean, it's entirely possible, like, it's. [00:46:30] Speaker B: Maxine, Dante, and Devin in this room with a. [00:46:34] Speaker D: With Kevin that was thrown in the backseat. [00:46:36] Speaker B: Something happening with Kevin and something happening with tegan. [00:46:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:46:41] Speaker B: And all of them have been piled into the Corvette at this point. [00:46:44] Speaker E: Can we all fit the Corvette? I was also gonna ask if I could. Ah. What is it? What is it? Yeah, I was gonna do that. Hotwire the jeep because I have trouble. I have trouble maker. Rule. Break a rule to look cool. Yeah, well, I'm actually breaking a rule to help someone else. [00:47:06] Speaker B: You are breaking a rule to help someone else? [00:47:09] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:47:09] Speaker B: You know how to. Yes. [00:47:15] Speaker E: Just so we have a little bit more, because not all of us commit in the Corvette. It's a pretty tight. [00:47:18] Speaker B: Absolutely not. [00:47:19] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:47:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:20] Speaker B: You're gonna have to caravan. As everybody is loading into the car, with the exception of Angie, who's panicking, running around the party. [00:47:27] Speaker A: And smelling people. It's very important that you remember that. I'm also smelling people. [00:47:32] Speaker D: Yes. [00:47:33] Speaker C: No one needs to go get her. [00:47:34] Speaker D: And get her in the car. Actually, no. Like, legit. I'm gonna, like, sigh. And it's that deep, resigned sigh of, like, someone that you have known for your whole life and love with all of your heart is still occasionally a fucking idiot, and you have to wrangle it. So just, like, march out of the garage, like, watch reggie just fucking, like, beeline it and just sigh and shout, Angelica. And you know it's bad when I actually use the whole name. [00:48:18] Speaker A: Call me Angelica. So hold that thought. What? [00:48:29] Speaker B: Just. [00:48:29] Speaker A: I. One. One more, one more, one more. I one more, one more and one more, one more. [00:48:36] Speaker D: I swear to God. [00:48:37] Speaker A: One more, one more. I just. I just. One more, one more time for your weird fucking theories, bitch. [00:48:42] Speaker D: We gotta go. [00:48:43] Speaker A: It's not a theory when it's provable. One more. [00:48:49] Speaker D: Hurry or I'm stealing your corvette. [00:48:53] Speaker A: I wanna go sniff the light porch. The lightbourne? Yeah. [00:49:00] Speaker B: You get close enough to her to, like, get a good whiff on her. She doesn't smell like anything other than honey and a warm may day. [00:49:15] Speaker A: Dammit. I was hoping she was gonna, like, smell like lilac because then there'd be like a. You know, I'd be like, ugh. But fine, fine. [00:49:22] Speaker B: She looks down at you and she looks back and goes, problems? It's not me, honey. You're barking up the wrong tree. I was just here trying to help out Wyatt and Gary. Seems as though you've got something else crashing apart. [00:49:45] Speaker A: Could it be them, then? Could they be the ones behind the. Hmm. [00:49:52] Speaker B: Smell Wyatt and Gary? No, they're just little Ponzis in this whole thing. Come on. [00:50:02] Speaker A: But it's not you. [00:50:03] Speaker B: This was. No, babe, it's not me. But I gotta say, to keep the balance, I can't help. [00:50:18] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. All right. Sorry for sniffing you. [00:50:25] Speaker B: Good luck at the rewind. And for all our sake, watch your neck. And she kind of disappears in this place. Glittery glow. [00:50:41] Speaker A: Great, great, awesome, great, great. It's at this moment, I assume. [00:50:50] Speaker D: Counting down. [00:50:51] Speaker A: Max, Maxine is just standing in the room and I will walk over and. [00:50:57] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure she already started the car. [00:50:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. All right, well, then I will walk back into the garage and I will hop into the car. [00:51:11] Speaker C: Just. [00:51:14] Speaker A: Maxine, are the windows up or down? [00:51:18] Speaker D: Down. The top's down. You left the top down. You always leave the fucking top down. [00:51:22] Speaker A: Okay, well, you know, I just look so Cal. [00:51:25] Speaker D: Yeah. But I will. [00:51:29] Speaker A: Wanted to make sure. [00:51:31] Speaker D: I will relay the bits of information that we were able to garner from Kevin, who is, I'm assuming, still looking appropriately mollified in the backseat. [00:51:44] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. He's kind of sitting there like, whatever you say. No, it's all good. Whatever you say. It's all good. [00:51:51] Speaker D: So, long story short, we have to get to the rewind because whatever fuck shit is happening is happening there. I. Yeah, yeah. [00:52:01] Speaker A: Does Kevin smell. [00:52:05] Speaker B: You? Get in close to Kevin and, like, kind of grab the back of his head, and, like, he does not smell. [00:52:13] Speaker A: Okay, okay. Interesting. [00:52:15] Speaker B: But let me have. Let me have you, because you've been on this, like, militant hunt. Let me have you make a. You're worked up, so I'm gonna say psych. And your emotional role. Just tell me what you get with that. What you're rolling dice wise and what you got. [00:52:37] Speaker A: Okay, all right, all right. Let's see. [00:52:38] Speaker B: So, like, a d. Whatever. [00:52:39] Speaker A: And so that is a d eight and a d six. And I got ten. [00:52:46] Speaker B: D. You got a ten? That is not too bad, my friend. [00:52:51] Speaker A: Not too bad. [00:52:53] Speaker B: You smell him? He doesn't smell like the rest of them have smelled this whole time. You have that, like, faint scent of, like, decay and lilac around you, and you look over at Tegan, and Tegan is kind of standing there, and as you kind of, like, tiptoe over and just, like, get close enough to go. She actually doesn't smell like that either. You look at Devon and Devin looks back at you. Devon, what are you doing? [00:53:26] Speaker E: What's going on? Raise up. Just like, I have to hit something. [00:53:35] Speaker A: No, no. Tegan, when we brought Tegan out of the other room and we brought her in here, she still smelled like it. And the viscera on the ground and, oh, everywhere that smells like this and the people out there smell like this and Mount Higgin doesn't. [00:54:00] Speaker E: And I just, like, snap my fingers in front of her eyes to be like, babe pee. [00:54:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:09] Speaker E: Where are you right now? [00:54:14] Speaker B: Someplace beautiful. It's really nice. And you see Kevin kind of, like, hunker down into the seat. Max. [00:54:33] Speaker D: Grab him by the collar and make him sit back up. [00:54:37] Speaker B: Uh huh. [00:54:41] Speaker D: That's all you got? You just. [00:54:47] Speaker B: Let's have you roll an intimidation on this. So I'm gonna guess your emotional state. Plus, what's the table thinking? I also really want to cut over to Dante in very short order, because I really want to see what Dante's thinking right now. [00:55:01] Speaker A: Definitely orange. [00:55:02] Speaker D: Cause I'm aggressive right now. [00:55:04] Speaker B: Sway. [00:55:04] Speaker A: Yeah, sway. [00:55:06] Speaker B: That's real sway. [00:55:10] Speaker C: Every time we say schwe, say Batman beyond. [00:55:16] Speaker B: Which way will you go? [00:55:22] Speaker D: That's an eleven. So I've got orange. I'm orange right now. So that's a D eight. And I've got a d six for this way. [00:55:35] Speaker B: And you. And you roll an eleven. [00:55:37] Speaker D: Yeah. Six and a five. [00:55:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. You like, you have him by the scruff and he's like, okay. And he grabs the back of your. [00:55:45] Speaker D: Hand, and he looks at you and. [00:55:46] Speaker B: Goes, she throwled, man. She's thrilled. [00:55:52] Speaker A: Thrall is that me? [00:55:54] Speaker B: She's thrall, man. I don't know what to say. I just know it's called thrall. Please don't hurt me. [00:55:59] Speaker E: Do you know how to stop it? [00:56:01] Speaker B: I don't know how to stop it. I can't stop it. I don't know how to stop it. I don't know how to stop it. But, you know, I was also under it, too. But I'm here. I'm here to help. I'm here to help you out. We just gotta get to the rewind, man. Come on. [00:56:13] Speaker A: Come on. [00:56:13] Speaker B: Please don't hurt me. [00:56:16] Speaker D: Stop whining. You're fine. [00:56:20] Speaker E: How did you stop being thralled? [00:56:23] Speaker B: Well, he left, didn't he? [00:56:29] Speaker D: They're not in proximity. [00:56:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:34] Speaker D: Is that. Is that what. So some of you link up, some. [00:56:38] Speaker B: Of he likes to keep, and some of he. He wants to help. I think he really wanted Tegan to have served him. [00:56:47] Speaker E: I hate that. [00:56:49] Speaker D: Yeah, no, hate that, first of all. Second of all, so you get here to help with the fucking band. Dragged along by Blondie. Blondie mcMullet over there. [00:57:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:02] Speaker B: Yeah, man. Yeah. [00:57:05] Speaker D: And suddenly you're just like, lights on. No one's home. Is that how that fucking works? [00:57:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, man. They just. I'm just. I'm a weenie, man. I'm just here. I'm just here to help with equipment and merch. Sometimes I have to do merch. It's not my favorite thing, but I gotta do it sometimes. [00:57:25] Speaker A: Ow. [00:57:25] Speaker B: Please stop hurting me. [00:57:27] Speaker A: Wait, that reminds. Stacy's not here anymore. Would Stacy have left with the others? [00:57:34] Speaker C: Wait, Stacy? We were gonna talk. [00:57:37] Speaker A: Well, she's gone. [00:57:39] Speaker B: Dante, make a mental check. And an emotional check, I would say it would be at a plus two because you were such a deep and avid fan of my emotional sausage. [00:57:54] Speaker C: I'm gonna take a heart because I got a two on my eight. That's still not. [00:57:57] Speaker B: Okay. [00:57:58] Speaker C: Was not good. So I'm gonna take one heart. You gave me one, so it just feels fair. [00:58:01] Speaker B: I did give you one. Yep. [00:58:03] Speaker C: Do I reroll the whole thing right? [00:58:06] Speaker B: Correct. [00:58:07] Speaker C: Okay, that was worse. Oh, no dice. Dice are not fun. So, originally, I had an. I had a seven. [00:58:19] Speaker B: Okay. [00:58:20] Speaker C: With that plus two. [00:58:23] Speaker B: Okay, so a nine. That's. I mean, that's up to you. No, no, no. [00:58:25] Speaker C: Seven. Seven. And concluding that, too, with the plus two. [00:58:32] Speaker B: You know, I think all of that considered, even on a lower roll, the blondie McMullet that you saw looks an awful lot like the lead guitarist of my emotional sausage. [00:58:48] Speaker C: Wait a second. His name was Dave, right? [00:58:51] Speaker B: David. You know him to be David Powers. [00:58:57] Speaker C: David Powers. That fuck. Guys, we need to go. I don't. I don't know what's happening with Tegan. Sorry. I honestly don't give a shit right now. Cause something's going down at the rewind and fucking David Powers. [00:59:12] Speaker B: That's what I've been trying to say. We gotta get to the rewind, man. [00:59:15] Speaker A: We gotta get to the rewind. [00:59:16] Speaker D: Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. [00:59:20] Speaker B: Yeah? [00:59:21] Speaker D: If we head back that way and you are in proximity with Blondie McMullet, are you going to go all woo woo again? [00:59:28] Speaker B: I can't promise nothing. I'm just going to do the best I can, man. [00:59:34] Speaker D: Oh, no. Now he's crying. Okay, all right. I'm going to put him down in the car now. We're going. [00:59:40] Speaker B: Okay, I'm in the car. [00:59:42] Speaker E: Well, babe, let's get in the jeep. It's like, walk t. Get her over to the jeep. Like, come on, we're going for a ride. [00:59:50] Speaker B: And she's like, okay, let's go for riding. Yeah. And he goes, oh, man. Wait, no, you've already let him go. Oh, man. Oh, man. She's real rough today. That's the roughest I've seen. That's like. That's a hangover you can't show today. Let's get to the rewind. Let's get to the rewind. Okay. [01:00:10] Speaker D: You remember. You remember how you didn't want me to hurt you, my dude, like that? Those chances are getting lower and lower the more. [01:00:16] Speaker B: Yeah, no, totally got it. Totally got it. Totally got it. [01:00:20] Speaker E: I have an ore. And you keep. [01:00:22] Speaker B: The paddle the whole time? [01:00:24] Speaker E: Yeah, and I stick it in the back of this jeep. I'm not doing this thing. It's served well so far. [01:00:32] Speaker B: We were gonna. We were gonna have Aubrey. We were gonna have Devin roll to hotwire the jeep. Did we do that yet? No. Let's have you hot wire the jeep. [01:00:41] Speaker E: I just. I brought up that because I'm troublemaker and I'm doing it for somebody else, so I gain xp from that. What would hot wire the jeep? [01:00:48] Speaker B: Okay, so I would think that it's probably motor or I would make a pitch for mental. Based on the D ten. [01:00:58] Speaker E: I'm gonna go for that. [01:01:00] Speaker B: Which one's a. Which one's a D ten? [01:01:02] Speaker E: Motor's a D ten. [01:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah, go for the motor. That would make the most sense to me. [01:01:06] Speaker E: Uh huh. [01:01:06] Speaker C: Muscle memory, right? [01:01:08] Speaker D: Yeah, it's a dex. [01:01:09] Speaker B: And then your emotional state. [01:01:11] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm. I'm good. I'm going from, like, orange. Like, I'm aggressive, but I'm also, like, really freaked the fuck out at this point. Yeah, it's just like, it's landing me in, like, the blue. [01:01:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. [01:01:24] Speaker E: It's like, I'm there, and it's just like, what the fuck is going on? I don't understand what the fuck is going on? And I will roll. [01:01:35] Speaker B: Nope. [01:01:36] Speaker E: Ten explodes. That is a 23. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Holy moly. The highest roll we have had in the game. You just very definitely. You take a gamble and you lick one of the wires, and it just goes to, like, you are in the driver's seat, you drop it in gear, and you go. [01:01:58] Speaker D: I'm absolutely driving Angie's car. [01:02:00] Speaker B: Yeah, there you go. That checks out. [01:02:02] Speaker C: I'll go with Devin. [01:02:04] Speaker B: You're going with Devin. Dante and Devon teaming up. Yes. And Angie is probably, presumably sliding into the front passenger seat on her own car. [01:02:14] Speaker A: Yeah. If I can't drive my own car, then I guess you didn't hurry up. I told you it's not gonna happen. Oh, my God. I'm the one who's solving the mystery. I'm like, oh, my God. [01:02:26] Speaker C: We're not Scooby Doo. [01:02:28] Speaker A: No, but I'm Nancy Drew. [01:02:32] Speaker D: I throw this thing into gear in a way that is probably real bad for the transmission and just peel the fuck out. [01:02:39] Speaker B: Yep. You haul ass. You know the route to the. To the rewind. Dante and Devin following behind. In the jeep, you've got Tegan in the backseat. You have in the backseat of the Corvette, you have Kevin, the thralled person who had broken into this party. We are seeing a little bit. Probably less of a montage, as we are not all working, but we are getting this kind of action shot of both cars racing down the freeway and dropping. What song is playing right now? [01:03:16] Speaker D: Sweet dreams by the arrhythmics? Cause it just kicked in my ear. [01:03:21] Speaker B: Absolutely. [01:03:22] Speaker E: It was either gonna be that or I was gonna say bad reputation by Joan Jett. [01:03:25] Speaker B: There you go. And both actually, both cars have separate things playing because Devin's driving one and Maxine is driving the other. And you hear, doo Deeny, Deeny, Deenie, doo Deeny. And then we hear, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And, like, we're just panning as both cars are going as fast as they possibly can, and we're getting done. [01:03:47] Speaker D: The lights. The lights, like, oh, yeah. [01:03:51] Speaker B: It's going so quickly. I'm hitting my own headphones. It's flying past you. You're seeing all these different, like, bursts of light you're. You're managing to, like, get all green lights for whatever reason. Somehow this, like, this. This urge, this need to get to the rewind is there. And all of a sudden, Devon takes a pan and looks over at Dante. And Dante is glued back to his seat. His eyes are completely white. And a prophecy comes to him. What does he say? [01:04:18] Speaker C: The rewind will be a real bash. Be careful, children. [01:04:27] Speaker B: And that is where we're gonna end it. [01:04:33] Speaker A: Excuse you. [01:04:36] Speaker C: Why you make me do that? Why you make me end the episode? [01:04:40] Speaker B: Because I didn't get enough of a feature on that last little moment. And I really wanted Dante to be the one who got the feature on that last little moment because he is so invested in my emotional sausage. [01:04:52] Speaker A: He is very important. [01:04:55] Speaker D: That's a sentence. [01:04:58] Speaker A: He's ripped, tested in my emotional sauce. [01:05:02] Speaker C: There is something to be said. [01:05:04] Speaker B: I mean, truly, Dante was a lot of a fly on a wall in this process. [01:05:09] Speaker E: He truly just wants to know how the sausage is made. [01:05:13] Speaker A: Get out. [01:05:15] Speaker C: Get out. [01:05:16] Speaker A: Nope. Nope. [01:05:18] Speaker D: You know what? [01:05:19] Speaker A: On that note, I was having a really great game right up until now. That moment. So we're gonna. We're gonna end on a low note, I suppose. [01:05:30] Speaker E: I apologize. No, I don't. [01:05:34] Speaker A: This amazing game full of. Full of wonderful, wonderful things for me to solve because I chase the puzzles, because I like solving them. I do apologize, everybody, for going running around like a crazy person, but here we are. But none of this would have been possible, none of the shenaniganery would have been possible without this amazing group of people that I am lucky enough to share a table with. So I guess we'll start us off. I started off the last two with Laura, I think, so I think I'm gonna mix it up now and give Aubrey a chance to tell us where everybody can find her and more wonderful queer stories of love, unrequited love, heartbreak, just all the gay feelings. If people want to see more of that from you, where can they do that? [01:06:30] Speaker E: Well, you can start off just by finding me everywhere on the Internet at Madqueen cosplay. And, yeah, I mean, I would also recommend checking out mysteries of Ravenswood. If you want some good unrequited gay yearning love pining, there's some really good stuff in that game. And also, like, we still have, like, one more episode, and I think one last set of dice to give away. [01:06:53] Speaker A: So finally, it's in three days. [01:07:00] Speaker E: I'm not nervous. I don't know what you're talking about. And you can also check me out over on Vancouver. By night this month as we continue through bonfire the lost, I think either the final episode is coming up or will have just aired at this point. It should all be on there. [01:07:19] Speaker B: YouTube. [01:07:19] Speaker E: Go check that out. You can also check out Ash and snow by Skald's tale productions. I play Freya on that. It is we are playing through the gatewalkers adventure path. It's gonna be a lot of fun. And also, if you just want to hear me, be super, super gay and super, super pining and have a gay love story, like, bring your own mech is, like, on hiatus right now, but we're coming back soon, and the whole first season involves my character, like, reuniting with her girlfriend and getting married. So, you know, you can go check that out for everything else. You can find links to pretty much everything I do on Twitter, so go check that out. [01:08:00] Speaker A: Wonderful. Wonderful. Absolutely. Obviously, you can see and hear a whole bunch of the wonderful stuff that she does over here as well, because she is our technical director. She does audio stuff, and she's fantastic. So check her out. Make sure to give her a follow. The other wonderful, amazing person with me today from QCG is another person that you should absolutely follow because they do amazing things all over the place. Laura, if people want to see more of you, I don't know, being aggressive and a little aggro, but, like, agro, parentheses, lovingly, where can they do that? [01:08:41] Speaker D: Well, hi. Hello. Good evening. You can call me Laura or Tutu or Laura Tutu, and you can find me on most places on the Internet as some iteration of Laura Tutu. You might just have to throw another underscore at the beginning at the end of that, because obviously that's just how the cookie crumbles. More often than not, you can find me on Twitter being obnoxious and screaming into the void, but it's also where I'm the funniest. You can follow my Twitter to my TikTok, where you will see all of my cosplays and all of the tans talks that I am doing for the all night society, where you can also find me as the voice of calamity Madden, gangrel, lupine hunter, extractor extraordinaire right here on Queen's court games, which is my home base. We have all sorts of fun things coming down the pipeline, including a couple of things that I'm not allowed to talk about yet, but I am viscerally terrified and excited to get off the ground. Along with if you want to go check out the folks at Dub city and brews the all black ttRPG collective for their wonderful content and just all around good vibes. That is where you can find me on the sweet, sweet interwebs. [01:09:54] Speaker A: Awesome, wonderful. We love it. Such an amazing person with amazing things all over the Internet. Another amazing person doing amazing things all over the Internet who is bobbing back and forth between just a floating head and having just a hint of shoulder right now is my dear friend Logan. Logan, if people want to see more about the amazing, crazy stuff that you are doing in this world, this TTRPG space, where can they do that? [01:10:21] Speaker C: They can find me all over the Internet. As Logan the GM, I'm not just a floating head there. I'm other things there. I mostly talk about tabletop, RPG's, magical girls, mecha, that type of thing. I'm also a member of Apocromatic Unlimited, a collective that is all POC built on raising up the voices of POC in the TTRPG space. Cause, you know, we fucking need it. I mean, that's, I think that's, that's appropriate outside of that, you know, like, listen, I just, I was feeling dignity. [01:10:55] Speaker D: How many times have I said fuck in the past hour? [01:10:58] Speaker C: Did I understand this? I understand anyway. But yeah, I am a pretty chill dude. I will, I love to talk to people. I love to interact with people. I love to be part of projects like this. This is always fun. This is always fantastic. And I mean, I bring characters like Dante to everything. In fact, you can see me every other Friday from tales on the table. Tales from the table where I play as Elroy, my universalist preacher. And my claim to fame with that character is because it's an expanse universe. I've been in space with him, and each time he's been in space, he has seen God, at least his perception of God. It's really, he unfortunately gets usually thrown off into free fall into space. He's been saved twice, so. And he just assumed it was God. So, you know. [01:11:52] Speaker A: I mean, sure, you know, and I see a little bit of a similarity between, between Dante and Elroy. You know, it's kind of weird. You have a type, I think. [01:12:03] Speaker C: Listen, I have a strange religious trauma that I like to relive. And this is my. Unfortunately, you're all on my therapy right now. [01:12:11] Speaker D: Yep. [01:12:11] Speaker A: So this all tracks? [01:12:14] Speaker D: Yep. Absolutely. [01:12:16] Speaker A: Well, somebody who may or may not need more or less therapy, depending on how they're feeling after all of this is our wonderful director for the evening, Kato. So much fun having you here. If people want to see more about what you're doing either with Tabula Sono, our amazing 3d virtual tabletop for the evening, or just all of the fun, creative stuff you do. Where can they do that? [01:12:46] Speaker B: Well, after all of the epic hood slides, hammer throws, and neck standing that happened in this game, I am thrilled to be the community manager of Tabula Sono and have collaborated with Queen squad games.

[01:15:03] Speaker A: Yeah, no, for sure. Absolutely. Nope. We all, everybody at this table understands the queer panic finger guns completely. Well, you all know me. I'm vy you can find me on Twitter v isfor vampire because my name is Vy and I like vampires. Exactly. Thank you, Laura. Most people would not know what a vampire is without that little visual, so I appreciate you greatly from the bottom of my heart. But, you know, I do a bunch of stuff over here at Queen's court games. I do a whole bunch of art, and I work with Laura, who puts out all the amazing social media stuff so we can have cool social media stuff to go out. And we do a little bit of everything over here. But one of the best places to find a whole bunch of extra fun bonus content from me is over on our Patreon because I do art that doesn't go out elsewhere and it's kind of cool. It's really neat. And, like, this month especially, we had some really great stuff up there. Cause, like, we had a whole bunch of character stuff and we had, like, art from Ravenswood and, like, it's only, like, $5 to start and, like, it goes up from there and you get so much cool stuff. So if you haven't followed us on Patreon or subbed to us on Patreon, take a look, see if you. If you like it, stick around. Also, three months gets you a really, really cool enamel pin that you can't buy, buy anywhere. We literally do not sell them. They are only for patrons. So give that a look. As everybody said, next week is kind of a huge week because we have the finale of mysteries of Ravenswood coming out. We have the finale of this show coming out, which, like, oh, my God, I'm so excited. I don't know how we're going to cram it all into just an hour and a half. So, ah, super, super excited. And then we just. This month has been so much fun, and it's just going to keep getting better. So make sure to follow us on all of your social media channels. Eens, court games, everywhere but Twitter, where it's court rpg because character limits are a thing. So, anywho, see you same time next week, same place, hour and a half ago. Put those in the right order because I'm very tired. Apologies and, uh, yeah, until then, bye for now.
