Hey everybody,

0:04

welcome

0:07

to Craft

0:10

and Bone,

0:13

part two

0:16

of our

0:18

three-part season

0:21

climax. This

0:24

is Megan

0:27

Holloway with

0:29

MFC News

0:32

reporting live from

0:34

Mayfair and I have

0:37

to say it's a very

0:39

changed Mayfair to the one we

0:41

saw last time we visited. Gone

0:44

are the protesters and gone is

0:46

the rain. It's all smiles and

0:48

sunshine for what we've been told

0:50

is only the first edition of

0:52

the newly revived Honey and Comb

0:55

Festival, a local tradition that hasn't

0:57

seen real traction in the area

0:59

since the 1980s. While some have

1:01

called out, Pan Continental's involvement in

1:04

the planning of the festival has

1:06

nothing more than a bit for

1:08

a better press. It doesn't seem like

1:10

those objections have prevented the entire town

1:13

from turning out for the event. Oh

1:17

my god, these are

1:19

so freaking cute! Look

1:21

at them! Sorry, what

1:23

did you say your

1:26

store was called? Journal

1:28

Mamas! Oh, that's so

1:30

fun! And you have

1:33

a website, right? Mm-hmm.

1:35

Journal mamas.com. Oh, of

1:37

course. I probably could

1:39

have guessed that, huh?

1:42

And it's you and

1:44

your sister? Not quite.

1:47

Wait, are you

1:49

too like... Oh

1:51

my god, I

1:53

love that! I'm

1:55

obsessed! What? Are

1:57

they like... what?

1:59

Lynn, don't make it

2:01

weird. Just keep taking your

2:04

artsy-fartsy pictures of the Ferris

2:06

wheel. Uh, no. Don't change

2:08

the subject. What are you

2:11

even talking about? It kind

2:13

of seems like you're the

2:15

one being weird. It's just...

2:17

they're married. It's cute. Sorry.

2:20

No. It happens all the

2:22

time. Okay. Is that it?

2:24

Why are you making such

2:27

a big deal of it?

2:29

What year do you think

2:31

it is? Oh! Oh! Oh!

2:34

What happened? Did someone push

2:36

you? Who do I need

2:38

a smack? No, no, it's...

2:40

There's this huge crack in

2:43

the road. You see that?

2:45

Oh! Geez, you think they'd

2:47

have tried to fix something

2:50

like that before putting on

2:52

a festival. Glad it were

2:54

my heels! What's

2:59

your name, sir? Uh, Martin.

3:02

Martin, am I right in

3:04

thinking you and your wife

3:06

were involved in the protests

3:08

against this event? Yeah, well,

3:10

Mary thought it was important,

3:12

and that's what marriage is

3:14

all about, am I right?

3:17

What can you tell me

3:19

about how this happened? How

3:21

did this story end with

3:23

you here? Attending the festival

3:25

you and your wife worked

3:27

so hard to prevent. You

3:30

gotta know when you're beat,

3:32

right? There's no point in

3:34

fighting when you've already lost.

3:36

Weeks and weeks of fundraising,

3:38

and we barely raised enough

3:40

money to cover the venue.

3:43

And then, when Diane and

3:45

Mary started talking to folks

3:47

about setting up booths or

3:49

running workshops, we ran into

3:51

a whole host of new

3:53

problems. Nobody saw coming. What

3:56

kind of problems? Parking, insurance,

3:58

fire safety. The questions never

4:00

stopped coming. They needed to

4:02

know whether or not we

4:04

plan to hire security, whether

4:06

or not the vendors would

4:08

have access to their own

4:11

toilets or be sharing with

4:13

the guests, whether or not

4:15

lunch was going to be

4:17

covered for the volunteers or

4:19

they were feeding themselves out

4:21

of pocket. Questions you'd never

4:24

dream of asking. How big

4:26

were the tables? How much

4:28

of a table was somebody

4:30

entitled to take up space

4:32

on? Did it matter if

4:34

somebody needed more space than

4:37

somebody else? How long should

4:39

a workshop go on? And

4:41

how much time between workshops

4:43

should we take for the

4:45

cleaning? It sounds like it

4:47

was more work than anyone

4:50

saw coming. You could say

4:52

that. Did you find it

4:54

changed? The way you looked

4:56

at today's festival? Well, they

4:58

had the money for it.

5:00

We didn't. So your opinion

5:02

hasn't changed? Well, like I

5:05

said, it was mostly Mary

5:07

who felt strongly about it.

5:09

Is she here with you?

5:11

Yeah, she's around here somewhere.

5:13

She's still a bit sore

5:15

about it. But hey, if

5:18

you lose the battle, staying

5:20

home during while the parades

5:22

on only makes you and

5:24

you alone miserable. Behold my

5:26

little troublemakers. The enduring sweetness.

5:28

of the immortal honey, the

5:31

divine fractal structure of the

5:33

geometric calm. Handmade necknacks and

5:35

miscellaneous for sale on the

5:37

sidewalks. I did expect more

5:39

B paraphernalia based on the

5:41

flyer. Oh, how disappointing. You

5:44

do know it's not that

5:46

kind of calm, don't you?

5:48

Hmm? Are you speaking to

5:50

me? Don't see how I

5:52

could have mixed you up

5:54

with anybody else around here

5:56

girl. Not that get up.

5:59

A vendor calls out to

6:01

us with wares to sell

6:03

hatchlings. Ooh! Is this scrimshaw?

6:05

Look at this my devils!

6:07

Isn't it wondrous? It's for

6:09

sales what it is. You

6:12

should, uh... You should buy

6:14

two. And why is that?

6:16

Now, please understand. I'm not

6:18

opposed to the idea, but

6:20

I need to hear the

6:22

pitch. The pitch is. You

6:25

should bought two. Oh, I

6:27

see. Oh,

6:32

Trader! This Trader to the Realm

6:34

dares from another legion's chat in

6:37

their missive to your queen! Mods,

6:39

to the dungeons! You gonna buy

6:41

something more, aren't you? Over the

6:44

course of the afternoon, you may

6:46

have noticed some interesting and unusual

6:48

music playing in the background of

6:51

our interviews. And we're pleased to

6:53

have the opportunity to speak with

6:56

the creator of that music. Local

6:58

musician, glass ceilings. How are you

7:00

feeling? You can just call me

7:03

Elijah. Pretty incredible. Enough that I'm

7:05

starting to think maybe I need

7:07

to change my handle. Well, if

7:10

you do, I hope you let

7:12

us know so all of your

7:15

new fans out there can find

7:17

you. It's, uh... I'm just... joking.

7:19

I don't think I'll really change

7:22

it. They say brain consistency is

7:24

important when you're trying to grow

7:26

as an artist and God knows

7:29

I've been trying to grow my

7:31

following for a long time. Was

7:34

this your first time performing live

7:36

for an audience? No, I've played

7:38

a couple of local venues before

7:41

but never anything this big. How

7:43

does it compare? It's incredible. There

7:45

was this moment in one of

7:48

my last songs, where a bunch

7:50

of people were mashing in front

7:53

of the stage, and it got

7:55

so intense. I almost didn't realize

7:57

we were having another quake. It

8:00

was amazing. Totally different. than anything

8:02

I've done before. And how did

8:04

this opportunity come to you? Did

8:07

you apply to be a part

8:09

of the festival? No, actually. They

8:12

reached out to me. Asked me

8:14

if I wanted to bring some

8:16

Mayfair's sound to Mayfair's oldest festival.

8:19

Mayfair's sound? Yeah, a lot of

8:21

the highlights in my music are

8:23

about the samples. You probably know

8:26

this already, but Mayfair's always had

8:28

kind of a different relationship with

8:31

its diverse ecosystem. That ecosystem is

8:33

full of all kinds of unique

8:35

calls and drones and drones. And

8:38

I believe the world is full

8:40

of natural instruments. Music is just

8:42

waiting to happen. That includes those

8:45

sounds from those creatures. That's beautiful,

8:47

Elijah. Really beautiful. And I think

8:50

there's an important lesson in that.

8:52

Inspiration can be found anywhere. Where

8:54

can our audience find you when

8:57

you're not performing? Oh, you can

8:59

find me at glass ceilings.com. That's

9:01

glasscilings.com. Remember, I before E except

9:04

after C and this is after

9:06

C. Thank you so much, Elijah.

9:09

It's been a pleasure speaking with

9:11

you. I'm being told we're going

9:13

to have a brief interruption here

9:16

as the folks back in the

9:18

MFC New Studio bring you an

9:20

update on the Decker Street robbery

9:23

that took place this morning. But

9:25

don't worry. Hey

9:28

everyone, it's Trevor here

9:30

with a quick ad

9:32

break and now a

9:35

quick message from our

9:37

sponsors. Thanks for listening

9:39

and now back to

9:41

the show. Look at

9:43

all the people! Oh

9:46

my god! Yeah, it's

9:48

crazy! I didn't expect

9:50

it to get this

9:52

packed! Right? How are

9:55

you doing? How's your

9:57

ankle? Are you sure?

9:59

Yeah. It's not

10:01

every day you get to

10:03

come walk around at a

10:06

festival that's been dead for

10:08

like what? 20 years or

10:10

something? What's a little pain?

10:12

Okay, now let's sit down

10:15

for a second. Come on.

10:17

Do you want some ibuprofen?

10:19

I always keep some in

10:21

my purse. Yeah, actually. Please.

10:24

One sec. I've got bottled

10:26

water too. Always prepared. I've

10:28

got a sewing kit too

10:30

if you get a tear.

10:33

One or two? There are

10:35

extra strength. Two. Okay. Thanks

10:37

Cynthia. It's literally nothing. Are

10:39

you sure you're okay? We

10:42

can always come back next

10:44

year. What makes you so

10:46

sure there's gonna be one

10:49

next year? Well, they said

10:51

it was the first annual

10:53

honey and comb festival, right?

10:55

So... Yeah, but they always

10:58

say shit like that. They

11:00

weren't going to come out

11:02

and say, just this once,

11:04

we're doing the old festival

11:07

again. Well, if they don't

11:09

do it next year, I'll

11:11

just blast him on social

11:13

media for lying, I guess.

11:16

It's seriously okay, Lynn. And

11:18

I'm telling you, I'm seriously

11:20

fine, Cynthia. I just need

11:22

to sit for a second,

11:25

I think. Did

11:27

you mean to be taking

11:29

a video? Huh? Look at

11:31

your phone. What? Oh my

11:33

god! My dumb ass! This

11:35

is why my battery is

11:37

shit. Thanks Jessica. Welcome back

11:39

to MFC News. I'm Megan

11:42

Holloway. And if you're joining

11:44

us for the first time...

11:46

We're here in Mayfair to

11:48

report on the exciting revival

11:50

of the local honey and

11:52

comb festival. And speaking of...

11:54

I am incredibly pleased to

11:56

be able to introduce you

11:58

all to the man I'm

12:00

told made this event possible.

12:02

Why don't you tell our

12:04

viewers who you are and

12:06

a little bit about what

12:08

you're doing here? Hi, I'm

12:10

Jeremy Locklin and I'm Pan

12:12

Continental Energy's public relations specialist

12:14

for Mayfair. That means I'm

12:16

here to make sure folks

12:18

understand we're not just here

12:20

to take and give nothing

12:22

back. It has to be

12:25

about symbiosis. And that's why

12:27

you set your sights on

12:29

revitalizing the festival? Yes, it's

12:31

an important part of the

12:33

community's history and one that

12:35

was ripped away from it

12:37

by the collapse of important

12:39

local industry. If we're bringing

12:41

industry back to Mayfair, we

12:43

should also be doing what

12:45

we can to bring back

12:47

that vibrant culture too. It's

12:49

only right. That's really beautiful.

12:51

You've done an amazing job,

12:53

Jeremy. Well, thank you, but

12:55

I can't take all the

12:57

credit. Without the cooperation of

12:59

local merchants and musicians and

13:01

artists, I'd just be standing

13:03

out here all alone. And

13:05

what a shame that would

13:08

have been! I have to

13:10

say, this is an incredible

13:12

turnout. Were you expecting the

13:14

event to be this successful?

13:16

Expecting? No, hoping! What would

13:18

you say was the most

13:20

challenging part of preparing for

13:22

today's celebration? I'd have to

13:24

say, securing the permits necessary

13:26

to shut down traffic on

13:28

this street. It's not easy

13:30

to convince people they should

13:32

let you make everyone take

13:34

the long way for a

13:36

whole afternoon. Oh, I can

13:38

imagine. And what about the

13:40

high point? What would you

13:42

say, your proudest of? Without

13:44

a doubt, it's the Ferris

13:46

wheel. Did you know that

13:48

this is the first time

13:51

Mayfares had one? That was

13:53

always the blue sky dream.

13:55

And I couldn't be happier.

13:57

We made it happen. Oh

13:59

my god! Do

14:01

you see the wood?

14:03

Mm-hmm. God, that's so

14:06

pretty. What are you

14:08

doing? You should get

14:10

some pictures. Glad we

14:13

came? Yeah. And you

14:15

wanted to go home?

14:17

Because you got hurt.

14:20

I just twisted my

14:22

ankle. And it wasn't

14:24

a big deal. Thanks

14:27

for staying with me.

14:29

What are friends for?

14:31

Besides, if I left

14:34

you, you. But next

14:36

year I'm wearing boots.

14:39

And a long-sleeved shirt.

14:41

Ugh, you're kidding me!

14:43

I didn't think it

14:46

would be a problem!

14:48

This is why I

14:50

told you to wear

14:53

sunscreen! It's fall! Your

14:55

pasty ass still burns

14:57

in the fall, Cynthia.

15:00

This has happened every

15:02

year I've known you!

15:04

I think I have

15:07

some motion in my

15:09

car. What was that?

15:12

I don't know. Wait,

15:14

look. You see the

15:16

lengths I go to?

15:19

My little villains? How

15:21

much mommy will do

15:23

for her fell and

15:26

wicked children? Your exalted

15:28

queen? Your goddess? Is

15:30

perspiringiring! Are you not

15:33

grateful for her sacrifice?

15:35

No, of course not.

15:37

I failed, failed to

15:40

inspire in you the

15:42

appropriate measure of awe

15:45

and reverence. Woe, to

15:47

your pathetic streamer! She

15:49

is unremembered, unrespected in

15:52

her time! We are

15:54

at your service. Linnea

15:56

cry, fate. Linnea kisses.

15:59

Ah! This is what

16:01

your mind's turn to

16:03

in my hour of

16:06

need. Figh! Figh upon

16:08

you all! There's no

16:10

time! Turn that thing

16:13

off! What an incredible

16:15

day it's been here

16:18

at the Honey and

16:20

Comb Festival! From the

16:22

first protests at the

16:25

drill site to today's

16:27

celebrations in the street,

16:29

it's been a long

16:32

road to harmony between

16:34

Pan Continental Energy and

16:36

the people of Mayfair

16:39

over these past few

16:41

months. And I can't

16:43

say we're not happy

16:46

to see it. A

16:48

new chapter is unfolding

16:51

for this little town.

16:53

A brighter future, full

16:55

of opportunity and growth.

16:58

Bill? Look! Oh my God!

17:00

The ground is collapsing! The

17:03

ground is collapsing! The Ferris

17:05

wheel appears to be singing

17:07

into the street! created by
