4.13: Hello Dolly

[00:00:00] Speaker A: My favorite one. My favorite. If I had a nickel, I heard recently because I had a. I had a. Sorry. So off topic. I had a horseback riding lesson this last week and it was, like, really difficult and I was very overwhelmed and I had, like, fallen off it during this lesson, and it was a lot. And afterwards, I just kind of. I was sitting on my horse and I just kind of started, like, crying because I was, like, tired and overwhelmed and I was like, I don't even know. I'm crying right now. And my trainer goes, if I had a nickel for every time I cried on the back of a horse, I could afford another horse on which to cry on the back of. Hey, everyone, that's. That's funny. I like it. [00:00:42] Speaker B: Like, what is that noise? It's 120 bpm, that's what. [00:00:48] Speaker C: But anyway, so we've talked about HD haze on here before. HD Hayes has watched Lemonade Mouth for the first time. [00:00:58] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Subscribe to HTA's Patreon because it's the best. I also watched this, guys. It was incredible. [00:01:05] Speaker C: He reached More Than a band, which is such an emotional, like, moment in the movie, right? And he finishes the first chorus and he just. [00:01:14] Speaker A: He just. [00:01:15] Speaker C: Man's just crying like he's feeling it. He's in his field. And then. And then he finishes the first chorus of More Than a Band and he just goes, friendship. And I fucking lost it. [00:01:29] Speaker B: His editor, I don't know if he edits it or if he hires out an editor, but they hit the nail on the head every time. [00:01:36] Speaker C: It might be a mix of both, but, like, it's so good. I saw that and I was like. The only other moment from HD Haze so far that has made me laugh that hard was at the beginning of High School Musical 3 when Gabriella, like, does her big, like, try moment and he. She stands up in the crowd and he stands up and he's just like, Gabriella. Like, that's the only other HTA's moment that has gotten me that bad. I love this man. I don't like. I don't usually like reaction channels. The only other one I really like super into right now is Danny Mata because he's watching the Owl House and I'm emotionally invested, but I need to watch that chest. He just got to season three. It's a whole trip. [00:02:21] Speaker A: But there was one. There was an H.T. hayes clip today that was from, like, at least a year ago, but it came up on my YouTube shorts and it was. It was. What was. I made for. From, you know, by Billie Eilish for the Barbie movie, he's like, cry. He's like crying listening to this. And I think for songs, he listens to them like twice and then like clips to together reactions from like two separate cuts. But at the end of it he just goes, billiam, Billiam, Billiam. You can't keep doing this to me. And I was like, dude, there is something about calling Billie Eilish Billiam that I think she would just think is so awesome. Like, I think she would just absolutely adore that. [00:03:07] Speaker C: I love H.T. hayes. I. He's so good. [00:03:13] Speaker A: But like, he's like, I'm so glad I found him. [00:03:15] Speaker C: He's got. [00:03:16] Speaker A: Thank you TikTok for breaking up High school musical into 43 parts. Into seven different parts. [00:03:23] Speaker B: Wow. Is it unfollowed? [00:03:25] Speaker A: That's actually not why I found him. [00:03:26] Speaker B: Look it up. [00:03:27] Speaker C: Oh God. It's his Patreon. I love it. Subscribe to the Patreon. It's so worth it. [00:03:32] Speaker A: It's five bucks a month and you get to watch and watch entire movies. I think you can also all of the dcom musical. [00:03:38] Speaker C: I think you can also buy individual videos from what I'm hearing. So like, I bought the Lunatic because I saw one, I saw one clip and I was just like, oh, I have to know what he thinks about this. And there's a lot of people that are seeing the clips that are just like, man, I didn't appreciate this movie enough. And I'm like, you are fucking correct. This movie is so good. [00:04:03] Speaker A: You absolute idiots. It's the best one. Last time, the crew decided to do some research in the trailer city of Vita. They have a huge library with extensive research, but some members found it easier to research elsewhere. So ID finds himself at a blue church to do some spell research while Auden talks with someone else about how to create spells. Maila and Melwyn also do spell research in the back of the library. Very spell heavy episode. The group spends two weeks in Vita so that Melwyn and Myla can make their own spells. But unfortunately, everyone's favorite puppet friend comes back for Myla and takes her hostage. That's where we're at. We're gonna start smash cut right where you guys. This puppet, like goes slack again, you know, this little Myla doll gonna go slack again. [00:04:55] Speaker B: Auden is going to carefully scoop up the doll and just kind of look up at ID and Melwyn in like terror. Like, what do we do? How do we get her out of a puppet? I don't know, Mellie, you're magic. You do magic. And she, like, holds it out to you. [00:05:14] Speaker C: Melon looks absolutely fucking terrified of this thing. [00:05:18] Speaker A: I can't imagine why. [00:05:20] Speaker C: Friendly reminder, for those of you at home, Melon's manifestation of fear in the objects was a puppet. Fuck that shit. Melon's going to the other side of. [00:05:29] Speaker A: The room to make everyone's life hard. [00:05:33] Speaker C: No, you like to make everybody's life rainbows and sunshine and nothing's wrong ever. [00:05:40] Speaker D: I. I don't know what to do about this. My instinct says don't break it because I think. No, actually, yeah, I think that'd be bad. [00:05:51] Speaker B: You said once that the puppet was yellow magic. [00:05:55] Speaker D: Yes. [00:05:56] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:05:58] Speaker B: Okay, then we'll just go to a yellow church, and they will know what to do, and they will pop her back out of the puppet and make everything better, and it will go away, and everything will be fine. And she flop, flop, flops over to her gear. She tucks the Myla puppet. You know how, like, little kids will leave part of their stuffed, like, animals and plushes, like, outside of the zipper, you know, so they can, like, stick out or whatever. She's gonna, like, pull the drawstrings of her bag so the, like, head and arms are, like, hanging out of the thing. She's like, I don't know if it can breathe or not. And she's gonna very carefully put it on her back, and she'll say, I should. I'm gonna go now. If you want to come with, you can. [00:06:47] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm coming with. [00:06:50] Speaker E: Right. [00:06:52] Speaker C: Is Nadia with us, or is Nadia out clubbing? Forget. [00:06:58] Speaker A: No, she's not here right now. [00:07:00] Speaker C: Melan will scribble a note for Nadia. Be like, hey, emergency. We're at a yellow church. Whatever. [00:07:08] Speaker E: The one that's closest came by. [00:07:10] Speaker C: We'll be back later. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Fair enough. [00:07:13] Speaker C: And then I guess we're running. [00:07:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Do we have a. Could I make, like, a history check to see if, while meandering around the town, shopping and doing all that kind of stuff, if I would know where a yellow church would be or perception or something? [00:07:27] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. [00:07:31] Speaker B: Unfortunately, my history is minus two, so that's a four. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Oh, boy, you are. I don't think you remember seeing one. And also, you are freaked out right now, so it is hard to remember a lot of things other members can make investigation or perception checks. [00:07:52] Speaker D: I will. [00:07:53] Speaker A: If you are, I will ask that if you think your character is panicked that you do at disadvantage. [00:07:59] Speaker D: I think there's a part of his heart that makes it too steady. For him to be completely panicked. [00:08:05] Speaker A: That's so fair. [00:08:06] Speaker C: Moen is completely panicked and will run up to the concierge very frantically in the most normal of ways and go. [00:08:15] Speaker E: Oi. Hi. Hello. Where's the nearest yellow church? [00:08:19] Speaker A: What? Sorry, what? [00:08:21] Speaker E: Where's the yellow church? Where's the nearest one? Is there one? [00:08:26] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it's a little ways kind of south, south part of the city. [00:08:32] Speaker E: Okay, cool. Thank you. Is this white? [00:08:34] Speaker C: No one will just run. [00:08:36] Speaker B: Follow her. [00:08:37] Speaker A: Okay. Hey, don't run in the lobby. [00:08:40] Speaker E: That. Sorry. [00:08:46] Speaker C: No running in my lobby. God. [00:08:52] Speaker A: All right. What'd you get? ID? [00:08:55] Speaker D: I got a 21. So I think with like knowing the direction that it's in, it's like, oh yeah, I walked around this way looking for a blue church. And yeah, head that direction. [00:09:04] Speaker C: All the churches are just in a row. [00:09:07] Speaker A: It's like a solid half hour to walk. But you continue walking and find this. It's not a building. It looks like a small, like a very tiny footprint, size of a building park with like well taken care of trees and like vines growing in trellises with a very large like three tier fountain in the center and some very nice like rock pebbled pathways. There are people here, they're just kind of milling. It's pretty quiet and a lot of people are sitting within like the plants, rocks, kind of water that's going on in this park and like meditating and so a lot of people are doing it like in groups. So this is kind of the scene that you stumble upon. The water coming out of the like center fountain seems to have like, like a thicker gold liquid kind of also rotating with it. They are not mixing as liquids but kind of separate. And it's really pretty. But yeah, doesn't seem like anyone is particularly. Yeah, it's like sparkly vegetable oil. It's. It doesn't seem like anyone in particular is like in charge or anything, but if you are like running up to this place, you are definitely going to be noticed. Make noise, you know. [00:10:43] Speaker C: You know, I don't give a care. Comes into, comes into the coffee shop at one point and he like slams his down hand down on the counter. This isn't the guy who likes musicals, if anybody wasn't getting that. And he slams his hand down on the counter. He's just like, hello, please. I feel like that's the energy right now. [00:11:03] Speaker B: Straight up will say, listen up, whoever's in charge here, I need to speak with you now. There's an emergency. [00:11:10] Speaker C: Oh, phenomenal. [00:11:12] Speaker A: They all look at each other and are Doing the, like, me, you. [00:11:18] Speaker B: Who'S like, the boss. [00:11:20] Speaker A: Literally nobody says anything. [00:11:23] Speaker B: He, like, no stuff. [00:11:27] Speaker A: Everyone kind of looks at each other. Again, there are like four people who are, like, who are refusing to let this, like, ruin their meditation. So they're like, very much trying to continue meditating throughout your yelling, but everyone else is kind of like, I. One guy just points at the fountain and then like, two other people point at this woman who's like, sitting close to the edge of the fountain. And that's pretty much all you get. [00:11:53] Speaker E: Literally. [00:11:54] Speaker A: Literally. [00:11:54] Speaker E: Just one person. Please. [00:11:56] Speaker A: This, like, younger man kind of pipes up, is like. It's kind of a. I mean, we all know stuff. [00:12:04] Speaker E: No. [00:12:05] Speaker A: What do you need? I guess. [00:12:07] Speaker E: Oh, my fucking God. This is why we don't go to churches. [00:12:11] Speaker A: All right. [00:12:13] Speaker B: No, and watch your mouth. [00:12:16] Speaker C: No. Sorry. [00:12:18] Speaker B: Hanging around too much. [00:12:19] Speaker A: We're not a. We're not a church. We're, you know, we're a gathering. [00:12:22] Speaker E: Okay. Whatever. Is one of you at least a cleric? [00:12:28] Speaker A: Uh, many of us. [00:12:31] Speaker B: Oh, Adam's gonna fish around for the doll and pull it out. [00:12:36] Speaker E: Hi. This was our friend. [00:12:40] Speaker B: She was like, this tall. Her hair is made out of fire. And she wasn't a doll before. [00:12:47] Speaker A: Uh huh. [00:12:48] Speaker C: To pick two people that are terrible at conversing to do this. [00:12:54] Speaker B: If I tell you that we're missives of the arcanist Amali, will that change anything? [00:13:00] Speaker A: Sorry, who? [00:13:01] Speaker B: Ugh. Like, Anna's gonna, like, pull at her pigtails a little bit. Like. [00:13:08] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:13:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Freaking out still. [00:13:12] Speaker A: I. Okay, so I don't. What do you want us to do? But I don't. [00:13:17] Speaker E: Do you know how to fix. [00:13:18] Speaker A: I've never seen that. I. I've. He just sits down and does a ritual cast of detect magic, so it takes him 10 plus min. [00:13:35] Speaker B: I think Auden will march up to the fountain with the gold glittery thing inside. She's just gonna be, like, grumbling to herself the whole way up there. Come on, Millie. Come on, Ed. [00:13:49] Speaker D: Okay. [00:13:51] Speaker E: What are you planning on throwing her in the fountain? [00:13:53] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:13:55] Speaker A: Everyone does. The scattered thing is you're, like, getting closer. [00:13:58] Speaker B: They just pointed in. This is the best I got. I don't know. I don't know what's going on. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Is that. [00:14:04] Speaker C: Is the. Is the weird gold shit in the fountain also yellow magic or is it just weird? [00:14:13] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. It's not very strong. [00:14:17] Speaker E: Okay, why did you point to the. Wait, hold up. Back up one second. Why did you point to the fountain when we asked who was in charge? [00:14:27] Speaker A: This other person that pointed on the fountain is like. I don't know. Yes. [00:14:33] Speaker E: Did you just decide the God's in charge or something like that? Because that's not very helpful right now. [00:14:38] Speaker A: Kinda. [00:14:39] Speaker E: Oh my fucking. Okay. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Okay. When we were in our little dungeon crawl, there was a. There was a fountain that had yellow magic residual and a little bit of black magic to it. Does this look similar to that fountain at all? Or like, I don't know. Is there anything about this fountain that would be recognizable from like myths or anything like that? [00:15:14] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. Make a religion check. [00:15:19] Speaker B: If anyone else wants to also make a religion check, that's cool. [00:15:24] Speaker D: Yeah, me and my plus zero will be over. [00:15:26] Speaker C: You know what? I. I have decent intelligence. I forget about that with Melon. I will make a roll. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Do we want to tag team wait. [00:15:33] Speaker A: For arcana checks to maybe not be 31s? [00:15:37] Speaker B: I will offer. [00:15:39] Speaker C: I don't know. I have a plus eight. Oh, gosh. Okay. [00:15:43] Speaker B: It's much better than my minus two. [00:15:46] Speaker C: You say this and then you remember that we're relying on my roles. Bestie 15. [00:15:54] Speaker A: I mean, the other one was smaller. Didn't have as many like layers. It was also less. I mean, this one's like a very. Like a perfect circle. I think. That one wasn't oval shape. There's a lot more decoration on this one than there was on the other one. The other one was like relatively simple. This one has a lot of like star sun iconography pretty much all over it. Like carved into the stone. Other than that, like, probably not similar. The other one didn't have this like secondary liquid going through it like this one does. They were. You're right that they were both like yellow magic based. But it doesn't really seem like there's anything connecting. [00:16:47] Speaker B: Different vibe. [00:16:49] Speaker C: Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's a lot connecting. Most of the yellow magic we've seen. It's all very different sources, each equally weird. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Unless anyone else has any other ideas. I think Auden's gonna fish around for a gold coin and plop it in the water. [00:17:15] Speaker C: I mean, Grace's other idea was to throw Yaron in, but that doesn't seem like the solution. Sacrificial ym. [00:17:23] Speaker A: He's a very thrilled to turn into a yam because he's a vegetable. [00:17:28] Speaker C: He's a very. He's a very throwable little guy. I'll be real. Melon can't throw for shit. Grace wants to toss him though. [00:17:36] Speaker B: You're like a foot away from the fountain. You don't need to toss it that far. [00:17:43] Speaker C: Missy just lands on the ground. [00:17:47] Speaker A: You. You, like, toss this coin in, and you get, like, this feeling that something's waiting. Like, listening and waiting. [00:18:00] Speaker B: I don't know who this is, but I need to turn my friend back into a fire Genasi. [00:18:11] Speaker A: Instead of this doll, someone just taps you on your shoulder and goes, psst. You can do this. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Like, in your head, though, she'll think that same thing. Me put that same thing in, but add a little bit of reverb. I need to turn. So it's thought friend back into fire Genossi instead of this dog. [00:18:37] Speaker A: You like. Don't. [00:18:39] Speaker C: It's. [00:18:39] Speaker A: It doesn't change. Like, this feeling doesn't change. [00:18:42] Speaker B: I think I'm on hold. [00:18:45] Speaker E: I think it wants you to pray, maybe. [00:18:51] Speaker B: How do I do that? [00:18:52] Speaker E: I don't fucking know. [00:18:55] Speaker C: Figure it out. [00:18:57] Speaker B: Autumn's gonna. She's still, like, very gently cradling the Myla doll, and I think she is gonna look at it, and she's gonna say, I know you didn't seem super enthused about getting wet and swimming and all that, but sorry. And she's gonna place this wooden doll into the fountain. Hopefully it floats. [00:19:21] Speaker C: It just sinks right to the bottom. [00:19:24] Speaker A: Yeah, you put it in the water, and it, like, sizzles, like, a very tiny bit as you put it in the water and then stops. And it does just kind of float there, like, turning really slowly, you know, as water does things. But this thing is still just, like, waiting. [00:19:45] Speaker B: Can you tell me what to do? [00:19:49] Speaker A: Do I, like, get a very clear, like, the word no just, like, shows up in your vision, and then it. This thing, like, you feel this, like, presence go away. [00:20:06] Speaker B: Ah, wait, no. She's gonna fish out another gold coin and put it in the thumb. [00:20:10] Speaker A: Then it comes back. [00:20:16] Speaker B: I think I get one question. How do I reverse this? [00:20:26] Speaker A: No, you get nothing. [00:20:27] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, wait. You stay on the line. [00:20:31] Speaker C: Stay on the line to a guy. [00:20:34] Speaker D: No, no, no, Tristan, don't. [00:20:36] Speaker A: Please, please, please. [00:20:37] Speaker B: I already talked to accounting. [00:20:40] Speaker A: I need. I need to talk to the fraud part. [00:20:42] Speaker E: Stop. Maybe. Wait, what happened? What happened when you asked the other question? [00:20:49] Speaker B: Oh, I just saw the word no. [00:20:52] Speaker E: Maybe it's yes or no question to them. [00:20:54] Speaker B: Okay, um. Is there a. No? That's a dumb question is, can this be reversed? [00:21:13] Speaker A: Yes. [00:21:15] Speaker B: Great. [00:21:17] Speaker A: The thing goes away. [00:21:18] Speaker B: Oh, I'm gonna go broke. She's fishing out another coin. [00:21:23] Speaker A: Great. As long as you're tracking it, I don't care. [00:21:27] Speaker B: I can ask 45 questions if you. [00:21:30] Speaker A: Throw in a whole piece of lustgite you can ask 500 questions. [00:21:35] Speaker E: Whoa. [00:21:35] Speaker B: I don't think I have. Oh, I do have the refined lustgite. It's not. I haven't casted in yet. [00:21:42] Speaker C: I could ask 340 questions. [00:21:44] Speaker A: That's our next shifting 30 platinum. Going through 500 questions. [00:21:48] Speaker D: Yes. [00:21:50] Speaker B: Okay. She's gonna look over to ID and Melwyn. It can be reversed, which is great. She's gonna look over the Myla floating in the water. We'll get you out. We can. There's a way to do it. Okay. What? Yes or no question. Should I ask? Or maybe you can ask too? [00:22:10] Speaker E: Can whatever this thing in the fountain has fixed it. Well, I guess maybe not. I can only answer yes or no questions. Very helpful man. [00:22:21] Speaker B: Yes or no? She's like, tapping her foot very aggressively against the ground, which I think there's someone Tree posing in the corner that starts to frown at the sound like, hey. And she's just tapping her chin with her finger. [00:22:40] Speaker C: Moan will turn to ID and go. [00:22:42] Speaker E: Well, I guess without Myla here, that makes you the leader now. [00:22:48] Speaker A: Shit. [00:22:49] Speaker E: Do you have any ideas? [00:22:51] Speaker D: No, I don't. My. The one thing that I've. I've been silent so that I can think. I can't think out loud. One thing that I keep thinking is that the. We had to go back to the place where bad stuff happened in order to separate the puppet from you. What if to go back. I don't. I don't know whether to go back to a bad place for Myla or bad place for me to get rid of the puppet this time. Does that make sense? [00:23:25] Speaker E: Well, isn't. Didn't. Didn't. [00:23:29] Speaker C: I almost said didn't y'all destroy the place? No, hang on. [00:23:32] Speaker D: Both of the places that I can think. Like the place where I was experimented on is a cave in. And my school got burned down mostly. [00:23:41] Speaker E: Kind of on fire. [00:23:43] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:23:46] Speaker B: Is this something that we can solve here in Vita? [00:23:49] Speaker D: I don't. I don't know. [00:23:51] Speaker B: I'm asking God. [00:23:52] Speaker E: That's a good yes. [00:23:53] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:23:55] Speaker B: I'm not talking to you. [00:23:56] Speaker D: I forgot that God was talking to someone else. [00:23:58] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:23:59] Speaker C: I forgot that God was here. [00:24:02] Speaker B: I'm talking to the shiny bit of vegetable oil. [00:24:09] Speaker A: This. The presence just waits. [00:24:11] Speaker C: Fuck, dude. That's funny. [00:24:13] Speaker A: This the presence. [00:24:14] Speaker B: Can I make an insight check to see if I can figure out what. [00:24:19] Speaker A: This thing wants from me? Sure. [00:24:24] Speaker B: Please, please be a good role. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Please. [00:24:28] Speaker B: Okay. A 19. That's a 19. [00:24:30] Speaker C: Let's go. [00:24:34] Speaker A: Well, previously, the no answer was because you weren't asking. Yes, or no questions. This one was a yes or no question, so it probably means they don't know. [00:24:43] Speaker B: Oh, I thought you were God. Okay, okay. Sorry, I lost my temper. She takes a deep breath and she's gonna enter her flow state just for like a little, like, for six seconds or whatever. [00:24:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:59] Speaker B: Just to like, calm herself down. Okay. It could, but it also could not. But are there particular things or a thing that we need to undo this? [00:25:18] Speaker D: It will turn to somebody that's like, not meditating and be like. Does it. Does it often not answer questions? [00:25:28] Speaker A: Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. [00:25:29] Speaker D: I mean, like, percentage wise. [00:25:36] Speaker A: It really. It kind of. I mean, it can only be yes or no question of what you guys figured out. [00:25:40] Speaker D: Right. [00:25:41] Speaker A: But some. I. I actually don't. We don't think this actually is, like, connected to, like, the, you know, the gods himself. [00:25:56] Speaker C: We're talking to a Magic 8 ball. [00:26:00] Speaker A: We think it's like a. We think it's like a. Oh, no, don't count on it adjacent kind of. [00:26:07] Speaker D: Thing at like a helper or something. [00:26:11] Speaker A: Yeah, something like that. [00:26:13] Speaker D: Okay, great. [00:26:15] Speaker A: It doesn't know everything. [00:26:16] Speaker D: Can you like. I don't know, it will take out a coin and toss it in. [00:26:23] Speaker A: What was Auden's question? Because my headphones decided to switch to my phone. Just for the period of time in which you asked a question. [00:26:31] Speaker B: I asked if there is a, like, items or a singular item that we need to reverse the effects. I'm thinking, like, spell component purposes. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I think you get another, I don't know, like another waiting. [00:26:49] Speaker B: Stupid fountain. [00:26:50] Speaker A: What's your. How about you ID you also, like, feel this, like, presence just kind of on your shoulders a little bit. Not unfamiliar. Because this puppet and mind flayer have been living in your body for like. [00:27:04] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:27:08] Speaker A: So it's like not an unfamiliar feeling. [00:27:11] Speaker C: He got a lot of people in him body. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [00:27:16] Speaker A: He's Jekyll and Hyde and Venom all. [00:27:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:21] Speaker D: Do you know of this being who did this? [00:27:25] Speaker A: This puppet you. You get like, in your vision? Just a. [00:27:35] Speaker D: Is there history kept of this gold coin? [00:27:40] Speaker B: Fuck. Shit. [00:27:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:27:42] Speaker D: Is there history kept of this being in this city? [00:27:50] Speaker A: Yes. [00:27:51] Speaker D: Great. Library time. [00:27:53] Speaker E: Sorry, what? [00:27:56] Speaker A: You also have a question remaining, Auden, if you want. It just kind of said like, it waited. Which means, like, I don't know how to answer that question. If you want, you can also just walk away. [00:28:07] Speaker B: No, I feel like that would be admitting defeat. Which Ada knows I'm going home. Instead of do that, she is going to look at the water and she's just going to say, you know, we'll do this right. [00:28:28] Speaker A: I think it answers. [00:28:30] Speaker B: No, just get snatched the Myla doll out of the water and turn on her heel. Stupid fountain doesn't know anything. Maybe I've been just cursed by God just now, but who knows who. [00:28:44] Speaker C: That'd be fun. What's another one? [00:28:47] Speaker B: Hey, it would be my first. [00:28:49] Speaker A: What's another one? [00:28:50] Speaker E: What's another one? All right, let's go stare at books again. [00:28:56] Speaker D: Library time. [00:28:58] Speaker C: Support your local library. Spells and whistles, Spending time. Libraries. [00:29:05] Speaker A: Yeah, you guys head back towards the library. It is, I don't know, midday, I guess. What do you want to look for? [00:29:20] Speaker D: It's looking for patrony beings. Puppet beings, I think. [00:29:28] Speaker B: Also just people being turned into puppets. [00:29:31] Speaker C: Can Melon look for information on powerful fiends? [00:29:42] Speaker A: Sure. [00:29:43] Speaker C: A little bit of metagame knowledge of grace remembering what Melan's old subclass was. But it's fine. [00:29:50] Speaker A: Let's. Let's roll some investigation checks. [00:29:53] Speaker E: Hell yeah. [00:29:55] Speaker C: Oh, I don't have proficiency. Oh, I'm sad now. [00:30:01] Speaker B: Could I argue for a charisma based investigation? Asking a librarian really nicely. [00:30:07] Speaker E: I wrote the 21. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Um, 21. Holy smokes. [00:30:13] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:30:14] Speaker C: Thank you, Melon. Do be a smart little bean. I do frequently forget that 18. [00:30:21] Speaker B: For Auden's charisma based investigation, she's like, please, it's really important that I learn everything I can about yellow magic. [00:30:34] Speaker C: Do you find the student again? [00:30:36] Speaker D: Oh, shit. Yeah. I guess I'll just roll investigation regular style and get a four. He doesn't fucking know how libraries work. He's like kicking himself for not paying attention to Myla. [00:30:48] Speaker A: Oh, it got a 4. Auden got an 18. Melan got a 21. [00:30:54] Speaker E: Yes, correct. [00:30:56] Speaker C: Okay, give me the lore, Anastasia. [00:31:01] Speaker A: Well, I don't think it's going to be that mind blowing. [00:31:04] Speaker C: No, it's not going to be. [00:31:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I think like, I think you just start looking and it kind of just devolves into like all of a sudden you're reading more and more children's books and you're like, this isn't like, this isn't what I wanted. Like, yeah, now I'm just reading stories about marionettes and I don't. That's not anything, Auden. You just. You wanted to know about like yellow magic in general. [00:31:34] Speaker B: Yellow magic? More on the side of like, gosh, I don't know my schools of magic. The 1. Is it transmutation side style of magic? I know that like the types of magic are different, but like just kind of looking at like something turning into another thing and also through yellow magic. Just trying to find, like, a link between those. [00:31:57] Speaker A: Sure. I think you find, like, there's definitely evidence that that happens. It's not particularly a yellow magic thing. It can be pretty much any school of magic. Schools of magic will have an easier time turning something into something else if it is within the, like, virtues of that color of magic. Does that make sense? So, like, it's a lot easier for someone with green magic to turn something into a plant than it is for someone with blue magic to turn something into a plant. Like, it kind of follows like a very vague, wide, like, track. [00:32:40] Speaker B: There's structure. [00:32:41] Speaker A: Yeah. These things can be like, there's some others. However, yellow magic doesn't seems to have the least obvious track because yellow is in regards to the universe as a whole and there and everything and nothing exists. Like, everything exists in the universe and nothing exists in the universe. So, like, yellow magic tends to have like a better, easier time turning things into other weird things unless it is explicitly covered by a separate school of magic. [00:33:16] Speaker B: Got it. [00:33:18] Speaker A: If that makes any sense whatsoever. But I think you also kind of get that vibe throughout your research that, like, more than any other kind of magic, yellow and white tend to be pretty vague in, like, the types of people that use it or the types of beings that use it because it is so broad and covers, like, pretty much everything that isn't already covered. You know, you can have a lot of, if you're gonna go with plant or animal based stuff, like, you have an obvious choice and that kind of thing. But yellow magic is kind of picked up by a lot of people as just a really easy base kind of color of magic. [00:34:03] Speaker B: Got it. [00:34:07] Speaker A: So a lot of people use it. Not many people are like, high level at it because it is so weird and niche that, like, if you try to talk to somebody with yellow cleric magic, they're not going to know the same stuff as somebody with yellow warlock magic or yellow wizard magic or something like that, because it is so high level, so niche. Powerful fiends. Some have come from, like the Nine Hells or something along those lines. Slash. Some have come from what seems like mythology, though. A lot of mythology is based in, like, real stuff. So some of them have come from, like, historical ancient people who turned into fiends or turned into patrons, even as it is with gods in this world where anybody who becomes good enough at something can become like a master of that. That thing, that color of magic. It kind of is the same way with patrons and just Kind of powerful beings in general that like. It's not typically a genetic thing or like a location based thing. It's like a. A knowledge slash research slash like expertise of the thing that lets you do that. [00:35:44] Speaker C: Melon. [00:35:44] Speaker A: That's way more common than like someone being born into something and doing it. [00:35:47] Speaker C: Melon does know this thing like decently well because it was with her for two years. So based on that, as she's kind of digging around, would she be able to find anything more with the roll that she got? Or would you need me to roll again? [00:36:05] Speaker A: Roll A separate roll. [00:36:06] Speaker E: Okay. It. [00:36:09] Speaker B: You got this? [00:36:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:12] Speaker C: It. I don't know what I. Oh, okay. Even better. 22 investigation 18 plus 4. I just wrote powerful friends. [00:36:25] Speaker A: You think that this thing is probably was once human, mortal, and became so involved in some way that they became a powerful being and basically just were chaotic about it and just kept going like kept becoming more powerful or at least attempting to readily available if they were. [00:36:55] Speaker D: So that means that this person was like very proficient in yellow magic. Right. If they became like a powerful being that influences in that kind of magic, they were probably in life also practicing a lot of that magic. [00:37:16] Speaker A: It can be in combination with other things. Like like if somebody becomes the most. [00:37:27] Speaker D: Expert researcher, puppet maker or something like that. [00:37:34] Speaker A: Right. Then like combining that with magic creates a more powerful being. So it doesn't have to be magic specifically. It's very likely that magic helps. [00:37:48] Speaker D: Cool. [00:37:49] Speaker C: So I don't think Melan would be able to get a name, but based on the fact that we now know this is probably a person. Would Melan be able to kind of figure out what kind of people it likes to target? [00:38:10] Speaker A: That one's harder because you don't have anything but really yourself. Like you don't have a comparison to. [00:38:15] Speaker C: Go off of other than. [00:38:17] Speaker A: Except for. [00:38:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:19] Speaker A: And like what Id decided to do. Whatever you guys, as players can extrapolate is pretty much like I think what you could get. [00:38:29] Speaker C: Awesome. Cool. Melon has no clue why this thing decided to target her. So. [00:38:33] Speaker A: That's cute. Like I'm not. I. I swear I am not trying to gatekeep information. I just don't think that you have enough data to like go off of. [00:38:44] Speaker D: My instinct is people who are desperate. But that's so vague. [00:38:50] Speaker C: Yeah, but this thing pulled Melan in to the weird in between space. [00:38:57] Speaker D: Yeah, that's a good point. [00:39:00] Speaker B: Orphans. Once we're orphans. [00:39:05] Speaker C: I thought bam. [00:39:08] Speaker A: Adopted. [00:39:12] Speaker C: If I had a nickel. No, I wish Jay was here because she's so much better. Better at this than I am. [00:39:21] Speaker B: I think Auden is having that moment in the other room where she's like getting nowhere with it. She has the little Maeladoll propped up also to read with her because she doesn't know if she's seeing through the eyes of it or if it's a placebo thing. But I think she's going to have a moment of crying on the horse a little bit where she's just like. [00:39:41] Speaker C: And now it has to stay in the episode. [00:39:45] Speaker B: Oh yeah. I can also make a new analogy. Anastasia, if you don't. [00:39:48] Speaker A: Oh no, I don't care. No, that's fine. Now the Internet can know I'm a horse girl. It's fine. [00:39:57] Speaker B: She's gonna. [00:39:57] Speaker A: It was gonna happen eventually. [00:39:58] Speaker B: Pick up the Myla doll and kind of slowly make her way over to the others. So I didn't really find much. [00:40:06] Speaker D: Me neither. [00:40:09] Speaker C: Melon's got her head face down on the book that she had open. [00:40:15] Speaker A: It's like 7pm at this point. You guys spent like half a day here. [00:40:21] Speaker C: Great. [00:40:25] Speaker D: Question. Mechanics wise, does it has a radiant infusion from Myla on his weapon? Is that still there? [00:40:38] Speaker C: Melon has boots from Myla too. [00:40:42] Speaker B: I've got my javelin. Comes back to me, cuz. [00:40:48] Speaker C: Jay replaced the back holding with giving Melan a little speedy boost. All of our infusions are gone. All the nice things Jay has done for us squandered guys. We rely on Myla a lot in this party. Fuck yeah, we do. [00:41:12] Speaker B: Anastasia's way of making us leave the nest. [00:41:17] Speaker C: This is not the shark. [00:41:19] Speaker A: No, Jay said I need to take a hiatus. Yeah, but we blame Jay. I don't. [00:41:25] Speaker C: No, we don't. Jay's off being cool. [00:41:28] Speaker B: Jay's doing cool stuff. [00:41:30] Speaker A: No, it. No, it just. It. Now it says it less indefinitely. Okay, great. [00:41:36] Speaker C: Cool. [00:41:37] Speaker D: Okay, then it will like point that out. My. My weapon still has Mila's like blinding thing on it. [00:41:45] Speaker E: So then maybe my. Maybe Myla's awake in there. That's worse. Actually. That's much better. [00:41:53] Speaker D: That's worse. Sorry. [00:41:54] Speaker C: We threw Myla in water. [00:41:57] Speaker B: She was face up. It's okay. Plus, I don't even think she needs to breathe. She's like very defensively, like, leave it alone. [00:42:05] Speaker E: Yes, but she's made out of fire. And she said multiple times. She doesn't. Okay. [00:42:10] Speaker B: It kind of did something. [00:42:13] Speaker C: It floated. [00:42:15] Speaker B: It floated. I don't know if real Milo would float. [00:42:20] Speaker C: I don't. [00:42:22] Speaker A: Well, actually. [00:42:26] Speaker B: All right, this library is stupid. [00:42:28] Speaker D: All right? We don't. They're gonna get Mad at us for yelling. [00:42:31] Speaker A: Yeah, there's a librarian who shushes you libraries. [00:42:35] Speaker E: It's not stupid. We just can't find answers. Sorry. Let's go back. Let's go back to the room, I guess, because we're getting nowhere here. [00:42:48] Speaker B: This is a train of thought that I am having that Auden wasn't present for. So I want to say it and inside still it in the person that was there for it, just in case. The idea of, like, maybe this person was like a really, really good puppet maker before they, like, ascended to wooden puppet hood or whatever. Like, do we know if there are any, like, really prolific, like, puppet masters or wood carvers or, like, anything like that that could maybe be a jumping off point for us to track down? Nonsense. [00:43:19] Speaker C: Geppetto, is that you? [00:43:21] Speaker B: Yeah. We're smiled, Father. When can I leave to go and be on my own? [00:43:29] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh. [00:43:31] Speaker B: You know what I'm talking about, right? Okay. [00:43:33] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:43:34] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [00:43:36] Speaker B: Scared for a second there. [00:43:41] Speaker C: Um, guys, I don't know what to do. [00:43:44] Speaker A: If you, Meg, can name a prolific puppet maker in real life, you can know of one in the game. [00:43:53] Speaker B: I can't think of the name off the top of my head, but I follow somebody on TikTok who makes puppets. [00:43:59] Speaker C: Jim Henson. [00:44:01] Speaker B: Jim Henson. [00:44:04] Speaker D: That's a good answer. [00:44:05] Speaker A: Jim Henson. [00:44:06] Speaker D: Honestly, that's a pretty good answer from. [00:44:07] Speaker A: The best puppet maker. [00:44:16] Speaker D: Yeah, he made the ball. Okay, let's be fair. Muppets are technically not puppets. [00:44:22] Speaker C: No, they're not. [00:44:24] Speaker B: Do I know a prolific. [00:44:28] Speaker C: I am so tempted to. [00:44:30] Speaker A: Did you. [00:44:31] Speaker C: Who made the puppets for the Lion King? That was like, a person. [00:44:36] Speaker A: All right. [00:44:38] Speaker D: If you look it up. [00:44:39] Speaker B: And it's also Tim, headsets, shops, or like, no, like, Punch and Judy type street shows. Anything that is reminiscent of said puppet. [00:44:57] Speaker A: Yeah, Weirdly, Sesame street is canonical in the antics, man. There aren't TVs, but sunny days. [00:45:08] Speaker C: That's what Melan was doing in the Artist Guild every time she went to kinder. [00:45:13] Speaker B: IPad, baby. [00:45:15] Speaker C: There's a live show of the Sesame Street. [00:45:19] Speaker A: Sorry, I. You've asked me about a prolific puppet. [00:45:22] Speaker C: Maze, and I just. [00:45:25] Speaker A: That wasn't in my notes, so. [00:45:27] Speaker C: And then we named Jim Henson who made Muppets, which are technically not puppets. [00:45:34] Speaker B: I'll find the example. [00:45:36] Speaker A: No, gosh, let me think of what actually makes sense here. [00:45:43] Speaker C: Johnny Tartaglia played Pinocchio in the fucking thing. I'm sorry. I'm being such an idiot right now. [00:45:52] Speaker A: I don't. I don't. I don't think that's like, especially Auden probably wouldn't know. [00:46:01] Speaker B: Well, and that's the thing I'm like, is whoever discovered that, can I ESP that into their character's brain? Auden's not asking because Auden wouldn't. No. [00:46:10] Speaker D: I think the only possibility is melan. [00:46:14] Speaker C: Out of the three of us. [00:46:17] Speaker B: But it's sounding like that's not even the right train of thought anyway. So we don't. Like, there doesn't need to be any rolls made because it's sounding like that's not where we need to be poking our nosies. [00:46:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll give you that one for free. [00:46:29] Speaker B: Great. Not a puppet person. Well, a puppet person, but not in that way. I think Auden's gonna take the doll and start storming off back to our weird hotel suite thing. [00:46:40] Speaker E: I don't know. There's like a whole toy theme to everything that might have something to do with it. [00:46:48] Speaker D: Yeah, I just don't know anything about toys. [00:46:52] Speaker B: My childhood was robbed from me. Melwyn. [00:46:55] Speaker E: We had books, guys. [00:46:57] Speaker C: We're such great, normal people. What'd you say? [00:47:03] Speaker D: We had books on toys. [00:47:05] Speaker E: We had books. I mean, dad sometimes made toy like things, but everything was very educational. Listen, Great. [00:47:19] Speaker D: Good. [00:47:21] Speaker E: Listen. [00:47:28] Speaker C: I was gonna say it's not my fault she was sheltered as. But it is because I made the character to the room. Is Nadia back? Because we're gonna have to explain puppet Milo. [00:47:40] Speaker A: Oh, are you guys back to the room? [00:47:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Auden's gonna. [00:47:43] Speaker A: He, like, picks up the no goes. Hey, what the fuck? What does this mean? [00:47:47] Speaker E: Hi. This. [00:47:49] Speaker C: And no one's just, like, gesturing to Auden and the doll. [00:47:56] Speaker E: Um, you wouldn't happen to know how to change somebody back from being weird stuff? Okay, cool. Great. Okay. [00:48:11] Speaker A: I was always kind of scared that if I tried it on myself, I wouldn't be able to turn back. So I never tried any of the, like, changing stuff. That is just the creating stuff. [00:48:21] Speaker E: That's very fair. [00:48:25] Speaker A: So probably imagine if I was like, oh, I turned myself into a bagel, and then you can't turn back. Well, terrifying. [00:48:32] Speaker B: What if somebody ate you? [00:48:33] Speaker A: Right? Thank you. [00:48:35] Speaker E: Oh, what if he. [00:48:36] Speaker C: What? [00:48:36] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, so probably he'd, like, pop out of their stomach. [00:48:40] Speaker B: Like, I don't want to talk about bagels anymore. What are we gonna do about Milo? Sorry, Melwyn. I'm just grumpy. [00:48:47] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no. [00:48:48] Speaker A: Sorry. [00:48:49] Speaker C: That's funny as fuck. I don't want to talk about bagels any. [00:48:55] Speaker A: Everything's not having a good day. [00:48:57] Speaker C: I'm so sorry. [00:48:58] Speaker A: Sorry. Got It. [00:49:01] Speaker B: Who has the stone? Who's got the rock that can talk to Ari? [00:49:05] Speaker E: Probably. Probably Ed. [00:49:07] Speaker D: I do. [00:49:09] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:49:09] Speaker B: She holds out her hand, grabbing hands, gives it just. [00:49:12] Speaker C: Sorry. [00:49:13] Speaker B: Hello? I don't know how this works. Ari, if available, can you put Amali on the phone? Stone on the stone. There's no. What's her phone? [00:49:30] Speaker C: Arid gets a nosebleed. [00:49:33] Speaker B: Psychic damage. [00:49:38] Speaker A: I actually don't know where they are right now, but. [00:49:41] Speaker E: Oh, great. [00:49:43] Speaker D: Okay. [00:49:44] Speaker B: I hope you have a great date. [00:49:45] Speaker D: We've never seen the two of them in the same room at the same time. [00:49:50] Speaker C: We have seen the two of them. [00:49:52] Speaker A: In the same way though. [00:49:54] Speaker D: The puppet. [00:49:55] Speaker B: Oh, I meant the puppet and Amali. [00:49:56] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, no, the puppet and Amali. [00:49:59] Speaker A: I thought you meant Ari and Amali. And I was like. You did though. Grace and I were on the same page. [00:50:04] Speaker C: I'm so glad. I'm so glad. [00:50:07] Speaker A: I've never seen Yaren and Amali in this thing. [00:50:14] Speaker E: Jealous little fucker. [00:50:16] Speaker B: Okay, well, how are things, Ari? You learning good stuff? [00:50:25] Speaker E: I'll fucking fight you. Let's go. Oh, fuck it. [00:50:28] Speaker A: I'm killing you. I've learned that my favorite thing. I'm so sorry for the tangent. I've given my players in another game, a tiny guy because I'm learning that I love tiny guys because if you make them swear, it's funny. If you make them mad, it's funny. [00:50:46] Speaker C: Like, oh, why do you think I swear so much? Why do you think I blame every. All of Melon swearing on id? Because Grace has the mouth of a sailor and I miss. And I think it's funny making Melon say terrible things. Anyway. [00:51:02] Speaker A: Jesus. [00:51:05] Speaker C: That's going to be a bonus. We just have to do that for 20 minutes. [00:51:09] Speaker A: That sounds kind of like a dead end for now. So what do you guys gonna do it otherwise? [00:51:14] Speaker E: Milo was the one with all the plans. Yeah, we're kind of bad at this. [00:51:20] Speaker A: Someone else has to make them. Now it's a turn to id. [00:51:24] Speaker D: Okay, so here's the question. Are we going after the puppet to fix this or do we stick to our original plan and go after a thread? [00:51:34] Speaker B: We can't just leave Myla as a puppet. [00:51:38] Speaker D: It doesn't feel like we have an option. We can't learn anything. [00:51:41] Speaker A: Dude, do you know what? What? Like why? How did she turn into this? [00:51:47] Speaker E: Long story. And it starts with my fault. Actually. [00:51:52] Speaker C: Melon will explain. [00:51:54] Speaker D: Kind of. [00:51:54] Speaker A: That feels fair, actually. Not just like. Yeah. I mean, you're 12. What are you like? What do you know? [00:52:03] Speaker E: Rude. [00:52:06] Speaker A: Not in a rude way, like you're 12. I. [00:52:10] Speaker E: Whatever. [00:52:11] Speaker A: I didn't know anything when I was 12. [00:52:13] Speaker E: Weird stuff happen. Once upon a time, I had a pat. Why am I saying this like a story? There was weird stuff. [00:52:20] Speaker C: Melon's gonna explain. I don't feel like explaining it as melon. [00:52:26] Speaker E: Yeah. And then it decided to do something stupid. And then we came back and you were here and Maya was a puppet. And then we spent the whole day trying to fix it and we didn't really see eat. [00:52:37] Speaker A: Got it. Got it. Yeah. So did you, like, try to talk to the puppet thing more, you know? [00:52:49] Speaker E: You know, we haven't tried. [00:52:53] Speaker B: Historically difficult to talk to. [00:52:55] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:52:55] Speaker B: Like personality wise. [00:53:02] Speaker E: Not actually difficult to talk to. At least it wasn't. I don't know that I can anymore. [00:53:09] Speaker D: It will grab the little Milo doll out of Auden's bag and just like, carry it. Like, he's like holding it out like a feral raccoon that got into your garage. What is chill about getting picked up? And be gentle. And he'll go downstairs and outside. It's chill. Feral. [00:53:31] Speaker B: My favorite comedian. [00:53:35] Speaker C: Hissing at you. [00:53:36] Speaker D: Just like, go outside and be like, okay, so you want to make us freak out and sad. What else do you want? Just like staring at the mile at all? [00:53:49] Speaker A: Yeah, There's a. There's a voice that comes from behind you, actually. And you like turn around and see this kind of like vision of a. It looks like these artist kind of puppet dolls, but it's starting to get more human features. Like. Like you can see that it. There's like lines for fingers to like split, you know, potentially, or like like eye sockets that are kind of sinking in and that kind of thing. And their joints are looking less like bendy, you know, like more solid. And it's just kind of sitting on the ground, like cross legged. And it picks up some. Like you can't see what it's picking up because whatever's picking up, it's just kind of tossing. But it's not anything on this, like, actual ground in front of you. And I just go, well, I need a body. So otherwise I'm kind of stuck. [00:55:09] Speaker D: So your brilliant plan was to take the person who was the smartest? [00:55:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:16] Speaker A: You guys can figure it out. [00:55:17] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm sure. I have so much confidence in us. [00:55:21] Speaker C: That's so fair. [00:55:24] Speaker A: Well, you can do it or not, but, you know, I still have Myla, so. [00:55:33] Speaker D: You need a body. [00:55:35] Speaker A: That's up to you. [00:55:35] Speaker D: That's it? That's all you want? [00:55:37] Speaker A: Yeah. I think it's kind of tricky. First of all, it has to be one that will, like, last a long time. Second, you have to, like, kill this person, and then I have to come in before they're actually, like, fully dead. So it becomes, like, a little bit. A little bit tricky. Yeah, that does sound hard in between. So. [00:56:07] Speaker D: But I figured like, an unconscious thing, like a. Like a peaceful bleeding out into the. [00:56:12] Speaker A: Snow, almost leaving their body. [00:56:15] Speaker D: Got it. Okay. [00:56:16] Speaker A: So that, like, I can take it instead. [00:56:20] Speaker D: Okay. [00:56:23] Speaker A: Or if you want to build a body, that's also fine. [00:56:26] Speaker D: Well, see, that's where our would have been useful. [00:56:33] Speaker A: Well, then I guess you'll have to do it the other way. [00:56:35] Speaker D: Yep. [00:56:36] Speaker A: And then when that body runs out, I'll just come ask you for another one. [00:56:41] Speaker D: Okay. When that body runs out. Have you ran out of a body before? [00:56:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:48] Speaker D: How many times? [00:56:52] Speaker A: Guess. [00:56:53] Speaker D: Three. [00:56:55] Speaker A: Three? [00:56:56] Speaker C: At least three thousand. [00:56:58] Speaker D: Thousand? No. Come on. [00:57:01] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:57:01] Speaker A: For real. [00:57:03] Speaker D: How reckless are you? [00:57:06] Speaker A: Pretty, pretty reckless. [00:57:08] Speaker D: It's looking at this, like. Like, puppet ish body. And, like, thinking, like, how long ago did people get this good at making puppets straight out of bodies is a lot. [00:57:22] Speaker A: Do you want to insight check this thing? [00:57:25] Speaker D: Yeah, of course. [00:57:27] Speaker B: It's full of wooden shit. [00:57:31] Speaker D: Nine plus five is 14. [00:57:34] Speaker A: This kind of sounds like a kid. [00:57:36] Speaker D: Sounds like a kid. That does make sense with being reckless. All right, well, no matter what I say here, I have to talk to my friends about what to do, so you're going. [00:57:50] Speaker A: I know back. I hear everything. [00:57:53] Speaker D: Fucking. I'm gonna bury you in pillows, and maybe that'll make it happen. [00:57:58] Speaker A: Okay, bye. [00:58:00] Speaker C: I'm gonna bury you in. [00:58:01] Speaker A: Fades off. [00:58:03] Speaker D: It goes back inside. It wants a fucking body, I guess. [00:58:08] Speaker E: Please elaborate and tell us everything it was saying. [00:58:11] Speaker D: Give me a second. And it goes. And, like, buries it in pillows. Like, like, gets all of the pillows. And she's like. [00:58:19] Speaker E: What are you. [00:58:21] Speaker A: Size of suffocation. I'm kidding. [00:58:25] Speaker C: I thought she didn't use breathe. [00:58:27] Speaker A: I'm kidding. [00:58:29] Speaker D: It needs a body. It said that we could either build one or functionally kill somebody and it'll just jump into their body. [00:58:38] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:58:40] Speaker D: It said it's been through a lot of bodies before, but I don't know if that's true. [00:58:43] Speaker B: Adam's gonna grab her hammer. [00:58:45] Speaker E: I'm okay. [00:58:46] Speaker D: Wait, you're gonna break Myla. [00:58:48] Speaker B: No, no, I'm gonna get a body. [00:58:51] Speaker D: Oh, no. [00:58:52] Speaker C: Do you wanna hide a body? [00:58:54] Speaker B: I've done it before with a mind flayer. [00:58:58] Speaker D: Unsuccessfully. Killed them. [00:59:00] Speaker B: Well, when I got a body. [00:59:03] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. No, we're not doing that again. We have a person we're trying to kill actively. Why wouldn't we just get them? [00:59:11] Speaker E: Because they're very hard to kill and we kind of needed Milo for that. [00:59:16] Speaker D: Yeah, no, we don't. [00:59:20] Speaker A: Nadia gives you a look like, I never thought that would come out of your mouth, but good for you. [00:59:27] Speaker E: But okay. What else did they say? Because you were gone for a little while. [00:59:33] Speaker D: Am I forgetting anything? [00:59:35] Speaker C: I don't know. This is fucking. [00:59:39] Speaker D: I don't. That's pretty much it. They keep sounding like a kid. [00:59:45] Speaker E: Well, that sounds familiar. [00:59:48] Speaker D: Actually, how does a kid become. You said that there's, like, when there had to be, like a master of something. What is this kid? Child. A master of make believe. [01:00:03] Speaker E: Well, the world we live in was kind of created from a drawing, wasn't it, Meg? [01:00:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:12] Speaker C: Revelation. [01:00:16] Speaker B: Anastasia is the puppet, perhaps the spirit of the one who first drew the world. [01:00:23] Speaker A: Why would I tell you, Anthony? [01:00:25] Speaker D: Also, why would they do that? Like what? This person makes this wonderful, awesome world and then decides to inhabit bodies with malice willy nilly. Willy nilly. [01:00:38] Speaker A: All right, we'll discuss it next time. We have to wrap this episode up. Thanks for listening. We will be back in the next episode. [01:00:48] Speaker D: Bye Bye.
