4.11: Sip and Survey

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Could have our own space. I was going to say we could do girls and boys, but then it's everybody and Id. [00:00:08] Speaker B: In yarn. [00:00:09] Speaker C: Share one queen bed. [00:00:11] Speaker B: Not doing that, please. Wait. [00:00:14] Speaker A: That be so good. [00:00:15] Speaker D: No, I'm not, buddy. Coughing with yarn. [00:00:31] Speaker A: I know, I know. Anastasia saw this because she left a comment on the video I made about it, but I fell down the stairs earlier this week. I felt so bad. [00:00:43] Speaker B: Bummer, dude. [00:00:44] Speaker A: Honestly, at that point it was just funny because it was very much like a. Like the. The One Piece fan mail. This is when, you know, when we recorded this, the One Piece fan mail episode was so good. And I. And I. And I watched it on Monday morning and then I had a dentist appointment where I got a fill. Where I got a cavity filled and that was whatever. And then I got to hang out. And then I. Then I went and got my best friend from college and we hung out and she stayed overnight and it was great. And I bought a little mimic. He's sitting on my bed. You can see the little green right there. I'll show it to you guys later. And then. And then I fell down the stairs and I landed and it actually still kind of hurts. I will be so real because of course it does, because my God hates me. It's fine. But I landed and basically the corner of the stair, let's say this is the back of my neck. My neck was like this on the stairs. [00:01:35] Speaker E: Ouch. [00:01:36] Speaker A: And I literally was just like lying there and I went in to tell my brother because I was kind of like a little manic afterwards. And I was just like, hey. So I just fell down the stairs. And he was just like. I was wondering what that sound was. And I was just like, yeah, I don't feel concussed. And he was just like, well, I imagine you wouldn't. And I was just like, well, I don't feel concuss cussed and I don't think I've accidentally paralyzed myself. So I think we're good on that. And he was just like, all right, we're going to monitor you overnight. And then the next day I woke up and I was just like, everything hurts and I want to die. [00:02:08] Speaker E: My vessel. [00:02:13] Speaker B: That's the hardest part about falling. Like, because I horseback ride often. That's the hardest part about falling off a horse is that you should not get up immediately, Right? Because if something is wrong, wrong, like if you stand on a broken leg, it's going to get so much worse, but you probably won't feel it because the adrenaline. Right. So my Trainer's always yelling like, stay down, stay down. You know, like as soon as we fall. And every single time I pop immediately up and it's gonna, like, it's gonna kick my ass someday that I do that. I need to not do that. But it's kind of terrifying when there's a horse running around and you don't want to get the stepped on. You know, it's like, do I risk getting up and like, injuring further, or do I risk staying on the ground where a horse might step on my side? Like, both are bad options. [00:03:02] Speaker A: I was just like lying there for a solid minute afterward, and then my friend, like, came over and stood by the stairs and had her phone out and was going through like the, like. Okay, here are the questions I need to ask you that tell me if you need to immediately go to the ER or not. She was so scared. I felt so bad. But she was such a good. She was a very good sport. This is not a very. I think it's hilarious, but I realize this is not the funniest topic to start an episode on. Listen, bad things happen all the time. And I find it incredibly funny because I have horrendous luck and at that. [00:03:38] Speaker E: Point, you gotta laugh about it. [00:03:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm at the point where it has to be funny or it's just really, really sad. Which I realize saying that out loud is really, really sad. But listen, it's fine. I get to laugh about it a few days later, even if I'm still a little sore because I was sitting in my chair and I was like, scrunched down like I was when we were talking in between episodes and I was like, maybe I should not fall asleep in my chair because my still recovering neck will not be thrilled with me in the morning. [00:04:10] Speaker E: Might be a good option. [00:04:12] Speaker A: Mayhaps. Mayhaps. [00:04:14] Speaker E: Speaking of other good options, we're traveling. [00:04:20] Speaker B: Yeah. So you guys between episodes decided that you want to go to Trayla, which is south of Tetra, south of Rain, south of Gosnet. It's the farthest south you have gone so far, which is cool. We like exploring new parts of the world. So last time Arcanist Amalie met the party and discussed who they are, kinda what they do, kinda. They gave Nadia some information about magic and her future if nothing changes. And a way to track kind of where arendrell and like, maybe the followers show up in exchange for the quill. Maila gets pretty frustrated with the arcanist, understandably, and walks away. After Amalie hands out apology gifts. I Guess or just helpful things. ID makes a deal with them to have them help in the future when they do try to take down Earendril in exchange for Ari staying for a bit. Ari was also fine with staying because she also wants some answers to her past and her history. Part of this deal was that you guys could get teleported somewhere, at least out of the desert in a, you know, more of the direction. So Trayla is a pretty good choice because this is something everybody would know. They have what everyone considers to be like the World Tree in their country borders. So a lot of people like pilgrimage to the World Tree. So it is a very like well known place. Lots of people have been there and it is on the map in case anyone is curious. There is one big tree in the middle of a bunch of little trees. [00:06:10] Speaker E: Lorax moment. Sorry. [00:06:13] Speaker B: Yeah. How dare you. So that is the best like option that they can send you to without having actually seen a place they have. They like know of the tree and so they can send you there. It does still take about half a day to get to the nearest like town slash city. There is a big city like nearby. So it takes you about half a day to get to the nearest city. And yeah, I think that's where you guys are at. As a heads up, Nadia did show you the opal piece that she got from Amali and you can see on the map on the back of this like carved opal piece, a map like shows up very similar to the one that you guys as players have and just kind of puts little like little versions of the symbol on places in which the symbol is like more populated. So if there is a bigger symbol there 10 it seems like there might be more people there or something in relation to it. For the most part you are seeing it in like northwest Auspai, but there is also some influence in Ospeg, which is very far south. Seems like those are the two kind of hubs at the moment. Just so you have all that info. [00:07:40] Speaker E: Sweet. The nearest sort of city area. You're gonna hate me for this. Does it have a name? [00:07:48] Speaker B: Yes, it's called Vita. Like V I T A Vita. [00:07:55] Speaker E: Vita. Okay, great. And I know that at the beginning of the Arc it was starting to get into like autumn, wintery time. [00:08:07] Speaker B: Ish. [00:08:07] Speaker E: What's the weather like here in Trayla? [00:08:11] Speaker B: It is less snowy for sure. It's still a little like cold, but not nearly anything like where you've mostly been this whole time. They, you, you get there and you get teleported in to this tree. Right. All of you, including Yaren. Yaren is coming with just so we have that off the bat. So yarn is there. Everyone else is there, except for Ari, who is back with Amali. And you guys get teleported into this tree or like the surrounding area. And you're basically right at the base of the tree behind some like, stanchions and things that are like, don't go past this point. So you get teleported in behind like the. Don't go past this point. Bars and chains. And everyone who's looking, everyone looks directly at you guys because you are very much in line of sight of a lot of people right now. The air just has like a slight energy to it. Milo would know and Melwyn would know that this is like very arcane energy that just kind of like permeating more here, more than anywhere else you've ever been. It's not particularly uncomfortable or anything, but it is very noticeable. But yeah, lots of people who are like, praying or giving like, offerings or something to this tree. And you guys appear there. [00:09:47] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:09:48] Speaker A: Be not afraid. No, I'm kidding. [00:09:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:53] Speaker A: So tempting. No. How much? I know. I know. We know some, like, this is the. [00:09:59] Speaker F: Place with the world tree and people like to come here on pilgrimages and stuff. [00:10:04] Speaker B: Right. [00:10:05] Speaker A: But like, Moen's dads have traveled, but she hasn't. So how much would like, they have maybe have know that they would have passed along maybe, if that makes sense. I have had brain. [00:10:24] Speaker B: No, I got you on a base level. They were just very excited about it. And they were like, oh, Melan, you wouldn't believe it. Like, it was so magical. Everyone was like, it's crazy. I've never seen a tree like it. You know, they. They just kind of gush about it for the most part. They. I think they probably told you, like, it is as old as anyone knows. You know, it's like the age of the planet at the very bare minimum. Like, that's the theory. They, like, read all of the plaques, you know? Yeah, they read all the plaques. So a lot of it is probably boring, uninteresting info. [00:11:11] Speaker A: They got all the tourist information. [00:11:14] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it's likely that the tree has magic itself. That is seems to be the popular belief. What is this? [00:11:24] Speaker A: What does this look like under detect magic. I'm sorry, I'm lingering on tree. [00:11:29] Speaker B: It's weird. So very green yarn. It's yarn. Hugs it. Yeah. He jumps off and immediately jumps off and hugs the tree. Although it just kind of looks like a leaf. Like Plastering itself against a gigantic tree. [00:11:47] Speaker E: I don't think that Auden has any business with the tree and is probably just like, okay, well, we should probably just mosey and get going as quick as we can. I do see that Jay has a nose, though, so I will let you go ahead and say your thing. [00:12:02] Speaker C: I think that as Auden is saying that Myla is going to be like, have you not heard about this tree that I. [00:12:10] Speaker E: It's a big tree. [00:12:12] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a really cool tree. It's. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Hey, you guys can't be back there. [00:12:17] Speaker C: Sorry, sorry. Let's check it. [00:12:20] Speaker B: Come out front, please. Come on, crawl over there. We're gonna have to kick you out if you don't. [00:12:24] Speaker D: Standing behind the fence the whole time. [00:12:26] Speaker C: Just like, is there. [00:12:27] Speaker D: Arms crossed, looking at them, confused, disappointed. [00:12:31] Speaker C: Dad, is there. It's harvest season, right? It's like fallish. [00:12:38] Speaker B: It's slightly past. [00:12:39] Speaker C: Slightly past. Is there any fruits on the tree? [00:12:45] Speaker B: No. I know what you're getting at. There are some dried versions that are rotten on the ground in front of you, but there aren't any actively on. [00:13:03] Speaker A: As dope as it would be to get to the afterworld tree, do not get us banned from a country, please. [00:13:10] Speaker C: Myla will sort of like look at me like, I can't believe you guys have never heard the story. [00:13:17] Speaker E: I mean, we don't have trees in Seiya. [00:13:20] Speaker C: Yeah, but this is like a famous tree. [00:13:21] Speaker B: Like, there's like, I'm really not joking. You have to come in front of the. [00:13:25] Speaker C: Myla is stepping over the chain and is unclipping. [00:13:29] Speaker E: It's over. [00:13:32] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:13:33] Speaker A: Melan will try to peel Arin off of the trunk of the tree before she goes, Yeah. [00:13:40] Speaker B: I mean, he's not strong. [00:13:41] Speaker C: Milo will look at the guy who smells like, hey, wait. I actually have a question for you. She'll like. As she's running over, she'll be like, yeah. Do you have any, like, dried version of the fruits or whatever? [00:13:52] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:13:55] Speaker B: Yeah. He points to a stand. It looks touristy as all hell. Like it is some kind of Gimmick. There is 100% definitely not the actual fruit. It's like someone has taken a fruit that looks very similar and is just marketing it as the fruit of this tree. [00:14:12] Speaker C: Lila walks over, casts identify, and is like, this isn't a wish fruit. This is a normal fruit. [00:14:20] Speaker B: I don't. [00:14:21] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. [00:14:22] Speaker B: It's. He just walks away. [00:14:25] Speaker D: Id buys one and says, I wish this was the real fruit and bites into it. [00:14:35] Speaker A: Is the fruit Shaped like a star. Do you need to share it with somebody else for it to work? [00:14:41] Speaker B: Split in half. [00:14:42] Speaker C: Like a wish to audit and melwin and be like, I can't believe you guys have. This is like the. This is like the tree. Like the girl, she planted it and she made it grow, and then she got the fruit, and then she took the fruit all around, everywhere. It's like the tree. My tutors used to tell it all the time. I had this collection of storybook that was like 15 minute stories about the world of the Ink Expanse. And it was in there. You guys didn't have that. [00:15:15] Speaker E: We didn't have books underwater either. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Cause they made. [00:15:17] Speaker C: They make waterproof versions. [00:15:20] Speaker A: Ben, I love you so much. [00:15:24] Speaker D: Sorry. I love mocking you, Jay. I muted myself, but it's still in the recording. [00:15:29] Speaker E: I can't wait to. [00:15:30] Speaker C: You're so mean to me. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Please. [00:15:32] Speaker C: It's his. [00:15:33] Speaker A: It was his face and his whole demeanor just, like, completely changed as he did that. And Anna and I saw it and both of us just lost it. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Sorry. It was funny because Ben thought it was so funny, and also Jay's just funny in general. [00:15:49] Speaker C: The fruit is supposed to be like a good luck charm. If you believe in that. Like, I personally don't, but it's my dad's vignette. Yeah. Yeah. [00:15:58] Speaker F: So, yeah, the stories. [00:16:00] Speaker C: Okay, so. Well, nobody was answering me. I was talking about it. Everyone was looking at me like I was, like, crazy because y'all had stuck. [00:16:06] Speaker F: Himself to the tree. I had to go get him. [00:16:11] Speaker C: Well, we can't go over the chain. [00:16:13] Speaker B: He tries to jump off your arm and run back to the tree. [00:16:15] Speaker F: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. [00:16:17] Speaker E: Put him in the bloodwell vial. There's no blood in it yet. [00:16:20] Speaker A: There's. There's not enough space. [00:16:23] Speaker C: Have him turn into blood. He's. [00:16:26] Speaker B: He's like, doing the thing where he, like, his arms are so tiny, so he's, like, grabbing him. [00:16:31] Speaker A: She's going to have a little guy. I have a little guy. He's going to, like, pick him up and have him face her and just. [00:16:37] Speaker F: Be like, Yaren, why are you trying to attach yourself to the world tree? Because if you are a leafy wood, too. Okay, but you don't belong to this tree. [00:16:50] Speaker C: But I could. Next time we're leaving him in the underground temple. [00:16:55] Speaker F: Hey, I mean, we could just leave you here, but then you wouldn't really be fulfilling a mission from your goddess. Fin, is he gonna stay put? [00:17:10] Speaker B: He's so grumpy. [00:17:11] Speaker A: She's gonna. She's Gonna toss him in her bag. Actually. [00:17:17] Speaker E: Get back. [00:17:17] Speaker F: Hey, Elise. Let me see it. No. Yes. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Into the fucking bag. [00:17:24] Speaker F: I will turn into a knife. [00:17:26] Speaker A: It's either. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Okay, cool. [00:17:28] Speaker A: Her bag is full of them. Is there chef stools in there? [00:17:32] Speaker C: IDs. Id stop eating all the fruit. Other people want to buy some. [00:17:38] Speaker D: It's the same one. I'm just eating slow. [00:17:43] Speaker E: That's not like you. [00:17:44] Speaker B: That's not yes anding. Ben. That's not a yes anding. [00:17:48] Speaker A: That's a better answer. [00:17:50] Speaker D: Budding. [00:17:51] Speaker A: Fuck that. [00:17:52] Speaker B: Fuck that. [00:17:53] Speaker A: That's a better answer. [00:17:55] Speaker D: No. I love that Myla knows Id so well. That knows that he would be scarfing down food at any moment, But Id these things were so fucking expensive that it's like, I cannot buy another one of these, so I need to eat it slow. [00:18:11] Speaker C: Crazy. Okay, well, that's the magic tree. [00:18:16] Speaker E: Thank you. I mean, maybe when we walk, you can tell, like, the whole story if you remember it. [00:18:20] Speaker C: Yeah, let me just go into my memory bank real quick. [00:18:24] Speaker E: Insert the wodie clip here. [00:18:27] Speaker B: And. Yeah, and if you haven't heard the story of the wish tree, check it out as. [00:18:35] Speaker C: As she walks off, when the world first dark drawn when the ink was still fresh enough to smear There was a young girl. She's walking down the path. Fade to black. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Oh, my God. All right, you guys head into Vita. Anyway. You guys take your time walking into Vita. It is getting close to end of the day, so people are, you know, finishing up their evening errands and going out to dinner and that kind of thing. Very busy city. This one has the closest you've ever seen to skyscrapers with, like, six, seven story tall buildings that do constantly feel like they're gonna fall over, but somehow they don't, and. Which I assume is what skyscrapers would feel like if you've never seen any before. And, yeah, so it is a very, like, tightly packed city with like, a huge, sprawling, kind of, like, commerce center in the middle of this city. [00:19:49] Speaker E: Did Nadia come with us? [00:19:52] Speaker B: Yes, she did. [00:19:52] Speaker E: Okay, that's what I thought. I just wanted to double check. So, obviously, I think it would probably be pretty good to figure out how to sever the tie that you have with your mum. I would be sad if you had to lose your magic, though, because I know that that's something that you really like doing. So do you think they have, like, magical clinic or a place where we could go and, like, research? Like, do you know of anybody else that does magic, like you or your mum. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Maybe? I don't know. Not That I know of. [00:20:32] Speaker E: Okay, so it seems like if you don't know of anybody, then we're kind of starting from square one. But from what I've heard, Trailer seems to be a good place to look at magic stuff. Do you think anything's going to be open this late or should we probably just look to somewhere to stay? The night clubs. Clubs, like to beat people with. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Let's get Lyddies. [00:21:02] Speaker B: Yeah, that's definitely what I meant. No, you mean like dancing and drinking and shit? [00:21:10] Speaker E: Arden's eyes kind of like. Like she kind of is ragging her brain. I can't say I'm familiar. [00:21:20] Speaker C: I don't know if Melon can go to those. [00:21:22] Speaker A: I was. That's what I said it while I was muted. I don't think I can go in there. [00:21:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's true. [00:21:29] Speaker F: I mean, you can go. I can just go find somewhere for us to stay. [00:21:34] Speaker E: It's like a big city, though. I don't want you on your own. [00:21:37] Speaker F: I mean, it's not that big of a shirtie and everybody's after Myla anyway. Not me. [00:21:42] Speaker C: What? What? Heh. Yeah, you're not wrong. [00:21:49] Speaker D: It is now having a headache thinking about Myla not being as protected and Malwyn being by herself at the same time. And it's like. [00:22:01] Speaker C: We could just all go find rooms. Unless did some. Did you turns to Nadia. Did you want to go to the club or did Auden. Did you need to go to the club? [00:22:12] Speaker F: Like. [00:22:12] Speaker E: Well, I don't know. [00:22:13] Speaker B: No, I just want to get drunk. Which you can get drunk pretty much anywhere. [00:22:16] Speaker F: Feel better. You could go to the club and I could go to a church and work on healing people because I have a few spell slots left for that. Except she wouldn't sell spell slots. [00:22:26] Speaker B: Praying for all of your sins. [00:22:30] Speaker A: Hey, listen, that's what mellb. That's how Melan's been fucking making money. She goes to side hust hustle and she. She heals people for money. Like true Foley of practices. But it's fine. [00:22:44] Speaker E: I mean, probably a first order of business would be finding somewhere for the night. That way if we do decide to kind of go and do our own thing, we at least know where we're meeting up afterwards. So. Yeah, could I make a perception or an invest pro. Preferably a perception check to see if I can find any kind of like inns or hotels or like better breakfast. Like, I don't know what's available, what's around town. Oh my goodness. [00:23:14] Speaker A: Can any of us roll for this? Anna? Just to Spare Auden from doing this alone. I'm 19. [00:23:20] Speaker E: I don't need your help. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Whoa. [00:23:24] Speaker E: Unless you rolled a natural 20, then. [00:23:26] Speaker A: I'll take your help. I rolled a 22. [00:23:29] Speaker E: Okay. Okay, whatever. [00:23:31] Speaker B: I think, like, Melwyn points them out just, like, right before Auden's eyes, like, scan towards it, you know, so it's just like the, like, little bit of, like. I was almost saw it. Like I sweat, you know, Kinder. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Kinder was city is good enough. [00:23:48] Speaker E: That's true. [00:23:49] Speaker B: Savvy is there are any of the options that you mentioned? There are taverns, inns, hotels, motels, or, like the, you know, just worse hotels. You could probably rent, like, a house or whatever. Probably. It. It would be a little bit more on the outskirts of the city instead of, like, right in the middle. There's probably some office, like daytime offices that aren't being used during the nighttime if you want to break into a corporate building. Lots of places. [00:24:29] Speaker E: Revisit our squatter era. I feel like just a regular inn. Sounds like a good fit. I think being in the city. In the city makes sense just because we are gonna be maybe spending a while here between training up and studying. So just kind of a central home base might be good. [00:24:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Cool. [00:24:53] Speaker C: Let's do it. [00:24:56] Speaker B: This in costs you five silver night per person. [00:25:00] Speaker A: How many rooms are we getting? [00:25:04] Speaker C: How many beds are in a room? Not that that matters. We all sleep on the floor anyways. But figured I'd ask you do one in a room. [00:25:15] Speaker B: I mean, I think it's more hotel style where it's like, if you want like one queen bed, you can do that. If you want like two twins or like two queens or something. [00:25:24] Speaker F: Do they have, like a pic style kind of situation? [00:25:28] Speaker B: Oh, for sure. That's more expensive. [00:25:31] Speaker A: Yeah, but there's also a decent number of us now, so I say that there's five. [00:25:37] Speaker C: So I think that's good option, like adjoining rooms. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Yeah, well, because then, like, Nadia, if she wants to have her own space, could have her own space. I was gonna say we could do girls and boys, but then it's everybody and idiotic with yarn. I don't care. We're assigning the room. [00:26:08] Speaker C: Why not? [00:26:09] Speaker A: Why not? [00:26:09] Speaker D: I don't. [00:26:10] Speaker C: It'll be Milo will room with id. Milo will room with id. Milo will room with id. [00:26:15] Speaker B: But my question to you, Ben, is why not, though? [00:26:18] Speaker D: Because it. [00:26:21] Speaker B: No, it's funny, but funny. [00:26:27] Speaker A: But what if no one asks really, really nicely? [00:26:33] Speaker B: All right, so if you want like a sweet, it's still going to average out to like one gold a person. This fucking. Wow. [00:26:40] Speaker A: We got so much money. [00:26:42] Speaker B: I know. It's expensive for regular people. [00:26:45] Speaker A: Okay, I'm just gonna go ahead. Wait, is it per person? [00:26:51] Speaker E: I already took off mine. [00:26:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I took mine off too. [00:26:54] Speaker D: I will also take mine up. [00:26:56] Speaker A: I was just gonna give them a piece of platinum and that would cover us for a couple days. [00:27:02] Speaker E: Oh, that's actually a good idea. I'm taking my gold coin back. [00:27:06] Speaker C: Me too. [00:27:07] Speaker A: There's only five of us. Because I highly doubt they're gonna count Yaren as a person. Unfort. [00:27:14] Speaker B: He's gotten quiet in your bag. [00:27:16] Speaker A: Oh yeah, he is in my bag. I shoved him in there. [00:27:19] Speaker B: Which honestly probably a little bit scarier than him making sounds. [00:27:24] Speaker C: So is it like. Sorry, just for my clarification, it's adjoining rooms. Is it like a two and a one and then a separate one with two? Or is it like I need. I just. My brain isn't working and I need to know what's going on. This is important to me. [00:27:43] Speaker B: I think. I think there are two. There are two like quote unquote bedrooms. Okay. You walk in the door. There's like a living roomish area, all right. With like a couch and stuff. One bedroom on either side. One has two queens, one has a king. There is also a hide a bed in the couch. This hotel room has like a very slight. Or this inn room has like a very, very slight kitchenette thing. Which by slight I mean like, like a stove looking thing. Obviously a little more primitive than like what we have now. But a place where you can cook food. [00:28:27] Speaker C: Melvin, look, you can make treats. She walks in with all the stuff. [00:28:31] Speaker F: I mean those with magic anyway, and not. I appreciate the sentiment though. I can make you actual like meals. [00:28:38] Speaker C: I mean, you don't have to. That makes it sound like I'm forcing you to make food. And I'm not forcing you to make food. I just know that you like cooking sometimes. [00:28:45] Speaker F: My life, I very much enjoy cooking. I just don't do it very much because we don't really travel so much more than rations. [00:28:52] Speaker C: Gotcha. [00:28:53] Speaker F: But for staying for a while, maybe. [00:28:56] Speaker E: Tomorrow we could go to the store. [00:28:57] Speaker C: Proper food stores are fun. [00:29:01] Speaker E: Are they groceries? [00:29:03] Speaker C: Yeah, you can get lots of things at stores. [00:29:09] Speaker D: Have we gone? We've not gone shopping in this game. [00:29:14] Speaker A: You went to the one store where Viola got her gun. [00:29:18] Speaker B: The one store underwater. [00:29:20] Speaker C: And the place I got paper in ARC 2. [00:29:23] Speaker A: Yeah, but it didn't go there. [00:29:26] Speaker D: And then we also went and like bullied the male people. [00:29:31] Speaker C: Yeah, that one Time. [00:29:33] Speaker D: Yeah. It does not have a lot of shopping experience. [00:29:36] Speaker C: We'll go shopping tomorrow. You can go. You could go shopping. I mean everyone can go shopping if they want. But I need to get stuff for my new gun. Well, kind of new. It's probably gonna be the same gun. Just bang stuff on it. [00:29:48] Speaker F: We might be able to find a workshop for you to borrow space from. [00:29:52] Speaker C: Maybe. I mean, I was just going to use the little. Like this little table. She like looks down at the table in front of the pull out bed. I was just going to steal this and bring it to whatever room I was staying in. Because I don't know who's staying on the couch. But it's not probably going to be me, I'm assuming. I mean I just. [00:30:10] Speaker F: Well, because there's. Yeah, your flames get very hot. But I don't believe you are a walking forge. Last time I checked. [00:30:20] Speaker C: I mean, I could go to the roof. [00:30:24] Speaker A: That does not change my previous statement at all. [00:30:28] Speaker C: But. [00:30:29] Speaker A: Okay. [00:30:30] Speaker C: I mean I can. I can do. I could do. I could do a lot of things. It's fine. I'll figure it out. [00:30:36] Speaker F: I mean, I. Alright. [00:30:39] Speaker C: I can. Who's staying where? [00:30:45] Speaker A: I really want to put Id and Yaren in a room together. [00:30:51] Speaker E: You guys have been traveling together for a long time. Are you okay to share the. That one and then. [00:30:56] Speaker A: Or are you sick of each other? [00:30:58] Speaker E: Oh yeah. Well, I don't. And then maybe. [00:31:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll sleep on the couch. [00:31:08] Speaker E: What? [00:31:09] Speaker B: I'll sleep on the couch. [00:31:11] Speaker C: Okay. [00:31:12] Speaker E: If it's comfortable for you, we can pull it out into a bed. [00:31:16] Speaker A: I don't know why we're giving them a room with a bed. Neither of them are gonna fucking sleep on the bed. [00:31:20] Speaker C: I might. [00:31:23] Speaker E: And then Mellie and I in the other room. [00:31:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:27] Speaker E: Just like old times. [00:31:28] Speaker F: Cool. [00:31:30] Speaker C: Yeah, that's very great. It's a really heavy sleeper. So if I make noise in the night, then he just like sleeps through it. Like. [00:31:37] Speaker D: Okay. [00:31:38] Speaker C: Like you know, like and stuff. [00:31:40] Speaker D: Oh yeah. I have slept through that a lot. [00:31:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:43] Speaker A: I think he just doesn't give a. [00:31:46] Speaker E: Okay. [00:31:47] Speaker D: Emotionally heavy sleeper. [00:31:52] Speaker A: Well, because IDs usually like the first person up. So I'm like, you have. You can't be that heavy of a sleeper. Because he's always very alert. [00:32:00] Speaker B: What? Sorry. What I got was Myla and Melwin in a. [00:32:06] Speaker A: My mom. [00:32:07] Speaker E: And then Auden and Melwyn and then Nadia on the couch. [00:32:12] Speaker C: Great. [00:32:13] Speaker B: Got it. Fantastic. [00:32:16] Speaker A: We're really good at this. [00:32:17] Speaker B: Okay. Do you want to do anything else for the evening? [00:32:22] Speaker E: I mean, if Nadia is Going to a club Auden might join just to see what that's all about. [00:32:28] Speaker B: She definitely wants to go get drunk at bare minimum. [00:32:31] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. [00:32:32] Speaker B: For sure. I think if she goes alone, she does try to find a club, because that's, you know, that was her vibe into Clerb. [00:32:42] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:32:46] Speaker B: But she, like, walks out, and then, you know, on the journey down to the street is like. So you want to come with? Are you sure? [00:32:57] Speaker E: I mean, I try anything. [00:32:59] Speaker A: She is also a target. Somebody should go with her. [00:33:02] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:33:03] Speaker E: Yeah, I'll totally. Yeah. Let's go to the club. [00:33:08] Speaker B: Yeah. You sound like you're gonna be a ball of fun. Great. Okay. Yeah. Like, Nadia finds a really. Yeah. A pretty crazy club. She does get pretty dang drunk. She's having a good time, though. [00:33:30] Speaker E: Okay. [00:33:30] Speaker B: Looks like it is very loud. There's a lot of, like, dancing lights, you know, but they are multicolored and spinning around and all that jazz. Love it there. There's, like, somebody in the middle of the dance floor who's just decided to start doing, like, performances and stuff. So they're doing, like, illusory, like, illusory shows and stuff with, like. [00:33:53] Speaker E: Oh, my gosh. [00:33:53] Speaker B: It's like the EDM people with their, like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. But it's all, you know, illusion, magic. I love that. And people are, like, having a great time. The bartenders look overworked, but, you know. [00:34:10] Speaker E: Great. Yeah. I think anand definitely tries to mosh a little bit. See what happens. [00:34:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:17] Speaker C: Can I, as a player, request a vignette of what it looks like of Nadia and Auden walking into this club? Auden having not gone clubbing before. Just, like, it doesn't have to be the whole night. I just. I need to know for my own brain what this feels like. [00:34:34] Speaker E: I think Auden would love it. I think the fact that there is so much going on, so much, like, stimuli, I think she loves it. I think she's, like, jamming out to, like, whatever music they have going on. I think that she is, like, having fun, like, chatting to people and being like, ah, you know, just, like, yapping. I think she's keeping an eye on Nadia, who's, like, sloshed or whatever. But I think that, like, overall, she has a really good time at the club. [00:35:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Nadia's like, hey, all right. So it's going to be loud, it's going to be bright. A lot of dancing, a lot of drinking. Lots of people. If anyone asks you where you're staying, don't tell them, you know, like, that kind of stuff. So otherwise it's pretty fun. [00:35:28] Speaker E: Great. [00:35:29] Speaker B: Make out with people if you want. I guess it's kind of up to, you know, each person. [00:35:37] Speaker E: Sure, yeah. [00:35:40] Speaker B: Don't bring anyone back with us. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Oh, wouldn't that be something to see? [00:35:46] Speaker E: We don't have any more beds. [00:35:50] Speaker C: Right? [00:35:50] Speaker B: Yeah, we don't. True. You're so right. We don't have more beds. That's a good point. [00:35:55] Speaker A: Also, sharing a room with a child. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Okay. [00:35:59] Speaker A: And. [00:36:01] Speaker B: Opens the door and is like. Opens the door and it's just immediate. Like, you know, loud and music and people. It's pretty crowded to the point where you gotta, like, you know, you're kind of moving people a little bit out of the way as you're walking through. And like halfway through the night, Nadia walks up, like, comes up to you. Also, like dancing next to you and is like, you're way more fun than I thought you'd be. [00:36:29] Speaker E: Thank you. She's like, trying to, like, yell over the music. This is really great. I can't believe I've never been to a club before. I thought. [00:36:36] Speaker B: I know. It was really fun. This is a good time. Super cool. Have you had their pineapple drink? No, I've had four of them. [00:36:52] Speaker E: Should I have a cake? [00:36:53] Speaker A: They're really good way. [00:36:55] Speaker B: Yes. [00:36:56] Speaker E: Aden's gonna go and order a pineapple drink. [00:37:00] Speaker B: Perfect. It's really damn good. Yay. Yeah, it's great. [00:37:06] Speaker E: She enjoys it. [00:37:08] Speaker B: It is alcoholic. [00:37:09] Speaker E: I think she probably has. She was a mercenary for a while. She started caravans and whatnot. [00:37:15] Speaker B: Eventually it winds down, but it's like 1:30 in the morning. Like, yeah, it's early. And Nadia does have the, like. Even though she's still, like, pretty out of it, she has the sense to be like, okay, we're leaving now. She does not remember that you came with her, though. So she just goes. [00:37:35] Speaker E: She just leaves. Audin will probably clock that she's making a beeline for the exit and be like, oh, thank you. Have a good night. And she's gonna go after her. I imagine that, like. And you can tell me if this is not the case, but I imagine that, like, you know, Auden might be a little tipsy, a little buzzed. And I think Nadia is, you know, eh, about things. And I think that they walk home, like, arm in arm, and, like, they get inside and they're doing the, like, kind of like, dress girl thing. [00:38:04] Speaker B: Hey, quiet. We get in there to be so quiet. [00:38:10] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. [00:38:13] Speaker E: Crazy. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Nadia's like, your hair's blue and my hair Is blue. It's crazy. [00:38:18] Speaker E: I know. Myla's hair is blue, too. [00:38:21] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yeah, hers is weird, though. [00:38:25] Speaker E: It's kind of, like, really cool. [00:38:28] Speaker B: I think it's kind of nervous, like, nod, though. [00:38:31] Speaker E: Yeah, it's cool, though. My hair can't do that. [00:38:37] Speaker B: She, like, picks up her hair and goes and, like, pretends that it's Miley's flame. Hair does not stay up in the air, obviously. [00:38:48] Speaker E: I think eventually. [00:38:53] Speaker A: Is it. I think it's safe to say none of us are asleep. [00:38:56] Speaker C: We're all. [00:38:57] Speaker A: We all see this. That is a late hour. [00:39:05] Speaker E: I think if that's the case, she's gonna say, melwyn, is past your bedtime. [00:39:10] Speaker B: It's on the ground, right? It's sleeping on the floor. [00:39:13] Speaker D: Yeah. Every time. [00:39:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Like in a room or in the living room. [00:39:19] Speaker D: Oh, I think probably in the living room. [00:39:25] Speaker B: Nadia. Nadia fully trips over Id onto the couch. Like, on her way to the couch. Just full trips over him. [00:39:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Face to face. Couch melon was kind of chilling in the living area as everyone was winding down. Nadia trips over Id and she's just going to go, Myla, they're back. [00:39:48] Speaker D: It is somehow still asleep. I rolled a conch. [00:39:51] Speaker A: I rolled a natural floor consciousness. [00:39:55] Speaker C: Milo will peek her head out the room. She had, like, her goggles kind of on, so they're, like on her forehead a little bit. She's like, yeah. Is everything okay? Did everything go okay? [00:40:06] Speaker E: It was great. It was so fun. Sorry, sorry. [00:40:11] Speaker B: Does she have the goggle prints, like, around her eyes like you did in Kevin? You know, I think maybe just like. [00:40:16] Speaker C: Underneath, because, like, she takes them on and off, so it's not like a. [00:40:19] Speaker B: Full circle, I always say. [00:40:20] Speaker C: But it's just like underneath, kind of like where her cheeks start. She's like, you don't. I mean, yeah, be quiet for the people around us, I guess, if you want to. But, like, we're all. Oh, no. IDs asleep still. [00:40:32] Speaker B: It. [00:40:33] Speaker C: She like. [00:40:34] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Nadia's fully asleep at this point. She faceplanted on the couch and only, like, two thirds of her made it so they're like her legs are, like, hanging off the end. Hanging off the side. [00:40:45] Speaker A: We'll turn her to at least turn her head to the side so she's not. Oh, that's nice. Fucking suffocating herself in the couch. [00:40:54] Speaker C: Okay, well, now that everyone's back, bedtime, I guess. [00:41:01] Speaker E: Yeah, probably. Yeah. [00:41:07] Speaker C: Ed. She'll kind of like, wake up. Ed. [00:41:09] Speaker B: Id they're back. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Id wake up. [00:41:13] Speaker E: It's time for bed. [00:41:18] Speaker C: They're back. They're back. [00:41:20] Speaker D: Cool. So tired. [00:41:25] Speaker F: Very, very drunk. I don't suggest you sleep out here. [00:41:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:29] Speaker D: No. Move them. I'm staying here. [00:41:32] Speaker C: What? [00:41:33] Speaker A: No, I am not scared. [00:41:34] Speaker E: I have Jed. Oh, it's fine. I can just start taking off her sandals. [00:41:40] Speaker D: This floor rectangle is warm now. [00:41:44] Speaker A: I. That's. [00:41:46] Speaker B: I hate him. [00:41:47] Speaker C: I love him so much. [00:41:49] Speaker A: I just want to wrap him in bubble wrap constantly. Oh, no. [00:41:58] Speaker C: Once everyone's, like, on their way to bed, Myla's gonna, like, kick. Id again. Be like, ID, get up. I have to ask you something. Get up. God damn it, get up. [00:42:09] Speaker D: Why? [00:42:10] Speaker C: I just need to ask you a question. [00:42:12] Speaker D: Do I have to get up to answer your question? [00:42:15] Speaker C: You don't have to stand up. No, but I just. I need to ask you something. [00:42:18] Speaker D: Okay. I'm awake. [00:42:20] Speaker F: Cool. [00:42:21] Speaker C: Who's your best friend? [00:42:22] Speaker A: Lies. You, obviously. [00:42:29] Speaker D: He thinks for, like, four seconds and then points through his war pick. [00:42:35] Speaker C: No, like, an actual person. [00:42:38] Speaker A: Um, actually, it's argnan. [00:42:40] Speaker C: Like, the people. Like, it doesn't have to be like that. I'm not. I'm not asking. Because I'm like, oh, my gosh, it better be, like, it better be me. Or, like, it better be something like. No, she's just deranged with power. Like, it doesn't. I'm asking for scientific and. And hypotheses purposes, not for personal gain or growth, if that makes sense. [00:43:05] Speaker D: What's your hypothesis? [00:43:08] Speaker C: Nothing. I just need to know who your best friend is. You have a best friend. [00:43:11] Speaker D: Your hypothesis is nothing. Then I'm not answering. [00:43:14] Speaker C: No, I. No, I. I just need to know if you have a best friend. You don't. You don't have to say who it is. [00:43:20] Speaker D: I don't think so. [00:43:23] Speaker C: That's not helpful. Okay, fine. [00:43:28] Speaker D: Okay, fine. [00:43:30] Speaker C: Bye. [00:43:31] Speaker D: Good night. [00:43:33] Speaker C: Good night. [00:43:34] Speaker B: She's like, Nadia's dead weight flops off the couch, like, essentially onto. [00:43:41] Speaker C: Damn. [00:43:41] Speaker E: It. [00:43:45] Speaker B: Would be empty. [00:43:51] Speaker C: I'm not sharing a room with Nadia. [00:43:54] Speaker A: She won't want to share a room with you. She does not like you. [00:43:56] Speaker C: I know. [00:43:57] Speaker A: Like, actively. [00:43:58] Speaker C: I know. [00:44:01] Speaker A: I think she's very okay with that arrangement. [00:44:07] Speaker D: Id falls back to sleep. [00:44:10] Speaker A: I do love the energy of Id just being that one really tired, like RA that everybody had in college. [00:44:18] Speaker D: At one point, I was thinking about that. It's like, it's such a dichotomy for him of being, like, super awake sometimes and then not at all awake. Like, as soon as they're in, like, a city, he's, like, conked on the road. He's getting, like, Five hours of sleep and, like, rolling back and forth for the rest of it. [00:44:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, no. The next morning, Auden wakes up with a cat completely, like, across her face. [00:44:49] Speaker E: A cat? [00:44:49] Speaker B: Just yarn? Yeah. Just. Just. [00:44:56] Speaker A: Is the cat yarn or is it. [00:44:58] Speaker B: The cat, like an actual fucking cat? And goes, hey, I was sleeping on my face. [00:45:06] Speaker E: Well, she scrubs her tongue to get cat hair off. Why? Why Yarn. [00:45:19] Speaker A: Mowen will literally chuck one of her treats at Auden when she sees she's awake. [00:45:25] Speaker E: I thought you were like, fetch, dog. I wasn't like yarn. [00:45:28] Speaker C: I was like, get out of the git. [00:45:31] Speaker F: Git. [00:45:32] Speaker A: No, but it does hit yarn because I rolled to see if I could actually throw it, and I remembered I have a minus two to athletics, so slay. [00:45:44] Speaker E: Great. Thank you. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Turns back into a leaf. [00:45:46] Speaker F: Sorry, Aaron. [00:45:51] Speaker E: Thank you. Good morning. How did you sleep? [00:45:55] Speaker F: It will not be magical, but I can make you one. [00:45:58] Speaker A: Fine. [00:45:59] Speaker F: I slept fine. You came back. How much of last night do you remember? [00:46:06] Speaker E: It was so much fun. When you're old enough to go, Millie, I think you definitely should go at least once just to try it out and just to see what it's like, because they had music and they had, like, lights and people were dancing, and it was just a really good time. And Nadia and I bonded. We had a good time. We both had blue hair. We have so much in common. [00:46:30] Speaker A: Okay. I love Arden so much. All right. [00:46:37] Speaker F: I think I'm good. [00:46:39] Speaker E: I think she sits up and she kind of, like, winces and kind of, like, rubs her head a little bit. [00:46:44] Speaker F: That's your breakfast. [00:46:46] Speaker E: It smells great. [00:46:48] Speaker F: Yeah. I'm gonna go see if it is awake now. [00:46:54] Speaker A: And just awkwardly leave the room. She's leaving the leaf where he fell. [00:47:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:04] Speaker A: I'm just bullying poor Yarn now. [00:47:07] Speaker E: One of us. [00:47:09] Speaker B: I mean, unless. [00:47:09] Speaker A: Unless it has yet to stop. Beef turn. [00:47:13] Speaker B: Unless it has moved her. She's still, like, a halfway on top of him. [00:47:18] Speaker A: Did he just sleep underneath Nadia the entire night? [00:47:21] Speaker D: Wait, I definitely put her on the couch. [00:47:24] Speaker B: Okay, great. [00:47:28] Speaker A: If. If Nadia was still underneath, Id she just would have walked by to Milo's room and been like, hey, come get your boy Melon. [00:47:36] Speaker C: Melan, I have a question for you. [00:47:38] Speaker F: Come here. Hi. [00:47:39] Speaker C: Come here. Come here. [00:47:41] Speaker F: Good. Good morning. [00:47:42] Speaker B: Who's your worst friend to you? [00:47:44] Speaker F: She's gonna come here. [00:47:46] Speaker C: Come here. [00:47:46] Speaker A: Melon will hand Myla a treat. I'm gonna bring Melan in a closed door. I'm gonna long rest in a tune to my fucking item is what I'm gonna do. [00:47:56] Speaker E: I need to mark that up. Thank you for the reminder? [00:47:58] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:47:59] Speaker A: Because we had the time. Okay. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Anyway, I have a question for you. [00:48:05] Speaker F: Good morning to you too, Myla. [00:48:06] Speaker C: Yes, good morning. Sorry. God, do you have a best friend? You're not here. Stop listening. [00:48:18] Speaker D: I thought you were in the living room. [00:48:20] Speaker A: No, I see Myla's room. [00:48:23] Speaker C: Myla scooches away from the door after hearing. [00:48:29] Speaker B: God, his freaking blind sense, dude. [00:48:34] Speaker C: What? [00:48:35] Speaker B: He can hear past walls. [00:48:36] Speaker C: You have a best friend. [00:48:37] Speaker B: Insane. [00:48:38] Speaker F: Why is this a line of questioning? [00:48:41] Speaker C: I have a hypo. I have a hypothesis. [00:48:44] Speaker F: Okay, what's your hypothesis? [00:48:45] Speaker C: I can't tell. I can't tell you. [00:48:51] Speaker F: Just you. Then don't say you have a hypothesis. [00:48:53] Speaker C: Well, you asked me why just can. [00:48:55] Speaker B: You yarn like inchworms under the door? Because he's a leaf and he's flat and he goes, it's me. [00:49:02] Speaker F: I. [00:49:03] Speaker B: It's. I'm her best friend. [00:49:05] Speaker F: Are you. [00:49:07] Speaker B: Yaren? [00:49:08] Speaker C: Oh, you're so right, Yaren. He's a little inchworm, right? Oh, you're so right, Yaren. I pick him up and I'm like. [00:49:13] Speaker B: No, he's a leaf. He just inchworms his way. [00:49:16] Speaker C: I pick up yarn and I'm like, you're so right, Yaren. I am so sorry. You know, I'll put you. You deserve what best friends deserve. And then I'll put him in the bag of holding for a little bit. I need to know if you have. [00:49:31] Speaker B: Good thing he doesn't need to breathe. [00:49:32] Speaker C: Exactly. That's why she doesn't feel bad about it. I need to know if you have a best friend. I just need. Sorry. This is a lot of energy in the morning. I understand. I've been told it's a lot. Let me take a deep breath. Bellen, do you have a best friend? [00:49:47] Speaker F: I still confused on this line of questioning. Admittedly. Do you? You don't? [00:49:58] Speaker C: I don't know. I need you to tell me if you have a best friend. [00:50:04] Speaker F: Um, Myla, I didn't have friends before I met the three of you, so I also don't know. [00:50:20] Speaker A: We're killing Jay. [00:50:24] Speaker C: Mila's eye twitches. [00:50:27] Speaker A: I wish you guys could see Jay right now. [00:50:30] Speaker C: And she takes yarn out of the bag and hands it and says, I will be right back. And I'm gonna walk down to the front desk. [00:50:38] Speaker E: Great. Sample size, baby. [00:50:43] Speaker A: And no one is going to go give Nadia and ID treats. That gives you four temp hp, by the way. [00:50:51] Speaker B: Wow, this feels. This feels pretty good. [00:50:53] Speaker A: Women in stem. [00:50:55] Speaker B: No, I can't be. I'm going to be honest Are you talking about Melwyn with Yaren or Myla? What? [00:51:03] Speaker D: Yes, Myla doing science. [00:51:06] Speaker B: Okay. I thought it was a funny bit about Yaren being a stem based. [00:51:12] Speaker D: I figured out what this is. [00:51:14] Speaker A: Yarn is also not a woman. But yarn is women inside. [00:51:22] Speaker B: Hi, how can I help you this morning? [00:51:23] Speaker C: Hi, I have a question for you. It's for a study that I'm doing, if you don't mind. Just real quick. Do you have a best friend? [00:51:41] Speaker B: Yeah, of course. [00:51:42] Speaker C: Cool. How did you know that they were your best friend? Like, how did you know? [00:51:49] Speaker B: I mean, there's a lot of ways they make you laugh or they just kind of get you, you know, like. Or they know what you need before you even say it. Or. [00:52:01] Speaker C: Okay, but like, regular friends do that sometimes. [00:52:04] Speaker B: You laugh about. Yeah, but you know, it's like the person that you are. Like, if I could only hang out with one person for the rest of time, it'd probably be this person, you know? [00:52:17] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. [00:52:22] Speaker B: And then I married my best friend, so. [00:52:26] Speaker C: That. What do you. What do you mean? [00:52:35] Speaker B: Well, like, you know, they're like my closest person. That, like, I. [00:52:40] Speaker C: No, but that's your spouse. That's not a best friend. That's two different things. [00:52:45] Speaker B: No, they can be the same thing. [00:52:47] Speaker C: No, because they're two different labels. If they were the same thing, they would have the same label. But there's two different things. [00:52:55] Speaker B: I do understand the confusion. Marriage is like a legal institution, so it's not necessarily overlapping with, you know, a societal institution of best friends. Right. Like, you can be a best friend, but then if you marry your best friend, you're just kind of. The legal system has just called it something different. [00:53:15] Speaker C: But what if the legal system is corrupt and evil? [00:53:21] Speaker B: There's probably some things that aren't corrupt and evil in every. [00:53:25] Speaker C: Okay, tomato, tomato. [00:53:27] Speaker A: We just got to this country. Don't get us kicked out, please. [00:53:31] Speaker C: Okay, but like, who's like your best friend? Besides that? Then Milo's like, wide eyed, like, slightly deranged. Like, her movements are very like, like exaggerated, like mechanical as well. She's like, so who? [00:53:48] Speaker B: I mean, we have friends, but like, my spouse is still my best friend. [00:53:55] Speaker C: This is not helping me at all. [00:53:57] Speaker B: All right. [00:53:58] Speaker C: Not your fault. Sorry. Not your fault. I know you're in. Maybe I need to increase my sample size. [00:54:04] Speaker B: Is there anything else I can help you with? [00:54:07] Speaker C: No, I'm okay. [00:54:09] Speaker A: That's good. It's the same size bestie. [00:54:12] Speaker B: All right. I'm okay. [00:54:16] Speaker C: Can I leave a questionnaire here for people who check in. [00:54:19] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:54:23] Speaker B: I'd have to talk to my boss about that. [00:54:27] Speaker C: Please. [00:54:28] Speaker B: Sure. Yeah. [00:54:29] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:54:31] Speaker B: Sure. [00:54:32] Speaker C: I'll start making copies. [00:54:34] Speaker B: Okay. Walking upstairs. [00:54:36] Speaker C: Thank you so much. And she's gonna lock herself in the room. She's not gonna say anything to anyone. She's gonna start, like, hand making, like, 20 flyers that are, like, her sample questions, and she's gonna construct a little box, like, put them in. [00:54:55] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure. [00:55:00] Speaker C: Walk downstairs, leave them there. Thank you for your help. If you could just make sure that people, like, fill these out, that'd be great. [00:55:09] Speaker A: The one person who has had a friend before in this group is Auden and is also the only person that was not asked this question. [00:55:19] Speaker E: Dead now. [00:55:22] Speaker A: There is also that little. [00:55:24] Speaker B: Sorry, buddy. I know. I was like. I think if Milan asks who. Auden. Who her best friend is, she might cry. [00:55:32] Speaker E: Like, would that be apple? [00:55:35] Speaker B: Yikes. All right, thank you. Which. Sorry, which room are you in again? So we can bring this up when it's full? [00:55:46] Speaker C: With my friends. [00:55:46] Speaker B: We have multiple. [00:55:47] Speaker C: With my, like, friends. My friends are up there, too. [00:55:56] Speaker B: Name or anything? Like, any of the names? [00:55:59] Speaker C: I think Melwyn the child paid for it, so look up Melwyn. [00:56:07] Speaker B: Oh, I do see that. Okay. Yes. Yes. All right. Yep. [00:56:11] Speaker C: Yes. So if you could. But don't. Don't give them to anyone but me. Just me. I just want to look at the. Don't. [00:56:21] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. [00:56:22] Speaker A: Just for me in the living room. [00:56:24] Speaker B: Like, no problem. [00:56:25] Speaker F: Ask you an odd question last night or this morning? [00:56:29] Speaker D: Yes. [00:56:30] Speaker C: Cut upstairs. [00:56:31] Speaker F: Why is Myla asking about friends? [00:56:34] Speaker D: I have no idea. [00:56:37] Speaker F: Also, she keeps saying it's a hypothesis, it's not really a hypothesis. [00:56:40] Speaker D: And then she didn't give me. [00:56:41] Speaker F: And then she won't say what the hypothesis is. So don't say it's a hypothesis. Just so you want to know. [00:56:47] Speaker D: Yep, exactly. Something's up. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Jade downing a diet Pepsi in the background. Sorry. [00:56:57] Speaker C: Taking shots of aspartame. Am I right, ladies? Let's go get turnt like ottomans declared. [00:57:09] Speaker D: Id thinking in his head. Guess I better start asking what makes people their best friends so that Violet can be done with this faster. [00:57:20] Speaker C: Yeah, you sitting there. [00:57:23] Speaker A: Wait. [00:57:23] Speaker F: Do you know what makes a best friend actually? [00:57:25] Speaker A: Wait, no. [00:57:27] Speaker D: I thought people just had friends. I feel like ranking your friendships with people is kind of, like, not good. I don't know. Like, that would be like, me saying that I like somebody more than somebody else and that. [00:57:43] Speaker F: I mean, but you. But. But you do. [00:57:46] Speaker D: No, not really. Well, okay. I like you guys more than I like Aaron. Draw does that count? [00:57:53] Speaker A: That kind of. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Wow, that's a low bar. [00:57:58] Speaker F: Morning, Nadia. Treat next to you that might help with the. [00:58:05] Speaker B: Oh, thanks. [00:58:05] Speaker F: Headache? [00:58:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:09] Speaker F: Hi, Myla. [00:58:11] Speaker C: I burst through the door. I left some questionnaires downstairs, so if anyone brings them up, just make sure I get them. [00:58:19] Speaker F: Are you just asking everybody this question? [00:58:23] Speaker C: What? [00:58:24] Speaker F: Are you just asking everybody about friends? [00:58:26] Speaker C: Not everybody, no. I just want to do a scientific study on this. Okay, but is that weird? That's not weird. People do scientific experiments all the time. [00:58:39] Speaker F: Okay, but most. [00:58:40] Speaker C: That's not weird. [00:58:41] Speaker F: Scientific study. They share what their hypothesis is. [00:58:44] Speaker C: Well, I don't. I can't. So it's fine. [00:58:48] Speaker F: Social experiment. [00:58:49] Speaker C: No. [00:58:50] Speaker F: That's a little different. [00:58:51] Speaker C: No. [00:58:52] Speaker F: Then why can't you explain it? [00:58:55] Speaker C: Because I don't know the answer yet. [00:58:58] Speaker D: I think just make another robot or something. [00:59:01] Speaker C: I can't. I have three. [00:59:03] Speaker B: Id. [00:59:05] Speaker D: You have two. [00:59:07] Speaker C: I have three. [00:59:09] Speaker D: You have? [00:59:10] Speaker C: Yes. I showed them all to you. [00:59:12] Speaker D: Otter. [00:59:13] Speaker C: The otter and the bird and the badger. [00:59:17] Speaker D: Saw the badger one. There was a bird? [00:59:19] Speaker C: Yeah, There is a bird. Because no one likes birds. [00:59:23] Speaker D: Not be very good. [00:59:25] Speaker F: What? [00:59:25] Speaker D: His melon likes birds? [00:59:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:29] Speaker D: Oh, there's one for the people of the group. [00:59:33] Speaker F: Wait, you made one of you? [00:59:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:40] Speaker D: That's weird. [00:59:40] Speaker C: Mila's, like, not making eye contact. [00:59:42] Speaker D: Not a robot. [00:59:43] Speaker C: I know you're not. [00:59:47] Speaker A: I'm not a robot. [00:59:48] Speaker B: This is hilarious. [00:59:49] Speaker A: No, I'm kidding. [00:59:51] Speaker B: I have the craziest headache, but I would swear I was dreaming this if I didn't have a crazy. [00:59:56] Speaker C: Go back to bed. Go back to bed. [00:59:59] Speaker F: Go back to bed. [01:00:00] Speaker A: She's so. [01:00:00] Speaker B: You are. Everyone is so loud. I can't sleep. It's the living room. I can't sleep, everyone. Wait, wait. So she made one for each of you, like, looks at it, like, towards me? [01:00:15] Speaker D: Apparently they're not for us, though. She just uses. [01:00:18] Speaker B: I mean, that's kind of. [01:00:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:20] Speaker B: It's kind of sweet, though, I guess. [01:00:22] Speaker C: Stop. [01:00:23] Speaker B: Kind of nice. [01:00:24] Speaker F: Stop talking about it. [01:00:25] Speaker D: I don't get it. [01:00:26] Speaker F: Nadia, do you have. [01:00:27] Speaker D: You like me having, like us, like a gun that I named Myla? [01:00:32] Speaker F: Nadia, do you have a friend? Do you have friends? I don't think we count. [01:00:38] Speaker B: Not really. [01:00:40] Speaker C: Why does nobody have best friends here? Is that too much to ask? [01:00:45] Speaker A: We're all very broken people. [01:00:48] Speaker C: Of the people in this room. Nobody has a friend. A best friend. That's insane. That's insane. [01:00:55] Speaker F: Is that really that strange? [01:00:59] Speaker C: I just want people to know things. I just want people to know things. [01:01:04] Speaker D: Sorry. [01:01:05] Speaker C: I want people to know things. And I want people to not think that the things that I make are weird. And I want people to answer my questions. [01:01:13] Speaker F: I grew up, that's all full of very little, with basically nobody my age. And it grew up in a lab. I don't know what Nadia's thing is. And Arden grew up underwater. And maybe I didn't. Arin, did you have friends when you were underwater? [01:01:30] Speaker C: Stop. [01:01:32] Speaker D: Stop it. [01:01:33] Speaker C: Milo walks out of the room, leaves the room. [01:01:39] Speaker D: Sample size my ass. What the fuck was that? [01:01:46] Speaker A: This is so weird. [01:01:47] Speaker B: I love it. I think. [01:01:48] Speaker E: Such a good button right there. [01:01:50] Speaker B: I know. I was like, man, next time I guess we go from there. Now next time you guys can do some research.
