Let's roll. You

can't be on book

0:58

if you can't read.

1:01

Oh no. Right,

1:03

exactly. That's

1:05

one of those

1:08

old sayings in

1:10

theater. You can't

1:12

be on, let's say

1:14

at the same time,

1:17

say the same thing.

1:19

You can't be on

1:22

book if you can't read.

1:24

I'm funny when you do

1:26

it right. Listen, I wouldn't,

1:29

don't be too nervous. Well,

1:31

we had the line ahead

1:33

of time, it helps. Yeah,

1:36

yeah, right. No, don't be

1:38

too nervous. So much of

1:40

what we've prepared here is

1:43

based on things that you

1:45

said to me in

1:47

our preparatory interview.

1:49

Yeah. Sure. Don't worry. I don't

1:51

think I ever be nervous

1:53

in life. Oh, really?

1:58

No. I

2:00

mean, yes? Really?

2:02

What is it

2:05

like? Being nervous?

2:07

Uh-huh. How do

2:10

I put this in

2:12

that twames

2:15

you can

2:17

understand? Use

2:19

big words. I

2:22

try to learn. Oh,

2:24

I love that. You

2:26

know how it feels.

2:29

You stab somebody. Yeah, I

2:31

do. How's it feel? Um,

2:33

well it depends on

2:36

the somebody. Sometimes

2:38

it's very like

2:40

slippery. Sometimes it's

2:42

very like, you've got

2:44

to really like, like,

2:46

like, like, a, like

2:48

a, a, a bore.

2:50

It's very grisily and

2:53

you have to like,

2:55

really like, you know,

2:57

it's usually one or

2:59

other. Not much in

3:01

between. So slippery or grisily?

3:04

No, so nervous is

3:07

how it would

3:09

feel if there

3:11

was constantly all

3:13

of that in

3:15

between. And that

3:18

at any given

3:20

moment, you don't

3:22

know whether you're

3:25

gonna stab. or

3:27

B stabbed and

3:30

either way, where

3:32

on the

3:34

spectrum of slippery

3:38

to, ugh, it's

3:40

gonna be. Does

3:42

that make sense?

3:45

Sure. Yeah. Anyway,

3:48

all right, we've

3:51

got our notes. Yep.

3:53

You've got your, you know,

3:55

just review the answers that

3:57

and that that was in

3:59

our company. conversation that was interesting

4:02

was that uh... we it is

4:04

open i'll make sure i'll make

4:06

copies of the script for everybody

4:08

and uh... i think uh... i think

4:10

we're gonna have we're gonna do pretty

4:12

great the town show i think now

4:14

we might wait we might win and

4:17

i think i think that

4:19

was the other logistical decision

4:21

that was interesting was that

4:23

uh... we it is open

4:26

to everybody on the ship

4:28

sure not only open but

4:30

required The mandatory participation point.

4:32

Upon pain of death? Yeah, I'm

4:35

telling you. You told me that

4:37

phrase, I like that phrase. What

4:39

was the phrase again? Upon pain

4:41

of death? Oh yeah, like your

4:43

ninety voice, well, found your sea

4:45

voice real good. Uh-huh. Do you

4:47

remember when a long time ago

4:49

someone used to say that you and

4:52

I sound same? Yeah, what

4:54

the fuck are

4:56

they talking about?

4:59

I don't know. We

5:01

sound totally different.

5:04

I do too.

5:06

Huh? All right. So

5:09

Will. Okay. You've

5:11

cast some spells.

5:14

Is it your

5:16

last spell slot

5:19

too? Oh. Oh. Well. Is it

5:21

no it's not? It's funny for

5:23

as many like fights and things

5:26

as we've been and I don't

5:28

think I've been in many of

5:30

the fights. It's hilarious. So I

5:32

guess creation probably

5:34

doesn't, I don't know what to

5:36

call it, stack, like if I cast

5:38

it at a higher level. I don't know,

5:41

let's see. Oh wait, when you cast

5:43

the 6th level higher, the

5:45

cube increases by 5 feet for

5:47

each slot above 5th. Yeah, so that

5:49

so I guess I don't know how

5:51

big the hole is. No, you're

5:54

you're within that. Okay. All right.

5:56

So but basically I feel like

5:58

I'm going to have to, I'm trying

6:00

to like explain how I'm doing this,

6:03

but like I think I'm mending various

6:05

points of the wall, then I'm gonna

6:07

cast the creation spell to try to

6:09

make a paint of glass in that

6:12

place and then mend more of it

6:14

to try to look like it's around

6:16

it. My idea was that you were

6:18

able to, with mending, you're able

6:20

to clean up the edges basically. Right,

6:23

yeah. So it's not this jagged.

6:25

whole it's a nice uniform well

6:27

so so forgive me but like

6:29

you know how I've learned how walls

6:31

work and like I know these are

6:33

not ship walls but like how there's

6:36

a space with the ship is there

6:38

any space between because what I was

6:40

saying was I would mend I would

6:42

mend things and then like that space

6:44

is where the glass would sit oh

6:47

so I would mend various parts and

6:49

then create the the the glass

6:51

God, this is probably like, there

6:53

are probably some people that would

6:55

think this is probably not doable

6:57

with these spells. Well, those people

6:59

probably play. We're gonna get some

7:01

letters. Okay, I say that all

7:03

the time. No, nobody does. Everyone's

7:05

spell. Nobody has ever gave us a

7:07

five star review. Subscribe and make

7:10

sure you subscribe to the complaints

7:12

that we listen to. Tears. That

7:14

is a high fucking cheer. Oh

7:17

my goodness. I'm gonna

7:19

subscribe, I have some

7:21

complaints. All right, if you

7:23

do, I'll listen. You say

7:25

we can do whatever we

7:27

want and we can.

7:29

Why doesn't my call

7:32

lightning spell work when I'm

7:34

in a small room? Why

7:36

doesn't my my tiny hut

7:38

roll a a... That

7:41

is definitely. in my

7:43

top 10. My top 10.

7:45

I love it. I'm

7:48

sorry because like I'm

7:50

I'm being so specific

7:52

I just want to

7:55

be fair enough like

7:57

if there's a gap.

8:00

between like if it's wood and wood like

8:02

and there's insulation or some kind of sound

8:04

barrier in between these maybe we want to

8:06

tear out all the sound barrier. This hole

8:08

was made by a sword so you can heal

8:10

it with magic. Okay so yeah I'm

8:13

trying to like fit it all

8:15

together so that it stays together

8:17

yeah for a presentation of

8:19

the window yeah the sex

8:21

window yeah yes it's a flirting

8:23

window I don't know I don't know

8:26

I don't know what it is I

8:28

mean with it being like close to

8:30

the ground like this is that

8:32

like part of the yes you

8:34

don't you know like you could

8:36

you could there's there could be

8:38

a curtain there could be a

8:40

curtain you're just bending over that's all

8:42

you can see like there could be

8:45

you know what I mean there could be

8:47

a long rod that you move the curtain I

8:49

love I love it's like the it's like

8:51

the start of the the first idea of

8:53

a peep show but it was like way

8:55

back and it's just to show the

8:57

ankles yes it's just ankles I thought

8:59

that was the size of the hole we

9:02

were dealing with wow will that looks

9:04

really good yeah does it yeah

9:06

no you know please just describe DM

9:08

please tell me what it looks like

9:10

all right so like the first will

9:13

I like how like the edges it's

9:15

like this like kind of frame that

9:17

like matches the rest of the walls

9:20

like it looks seamless and then this

9:22

is like the glass it's not

9:24

like this perfect clear invisible

9:27

glass it's like it's got like

9:29

this like kind of like it's

9:31

almost like it's almost like it's

9:34

a crystal kind of and I could

9:36

see that being very tantalizing.

9:38

Yeah thanks. But like if you get

9:40

up close then you can see clearly

9:43

through it it's like faceted. Whoa

9:45

I didn't even realize that

9:47

that's why I wanted the

9:49

description before you said it in

9:51

character. Oh right wow yeah you're right

9:53

it does look like that. You're too

9:56

hard on yourself like take a

9:58

step back remove your ego from

10:00

the work and just view it on its

10:02

own. Should I go around to the other

10:04

side and show you my ankle? He

10:06

does the biggest eye roll in

10:08

the world. Yeah, there's deadly animals

10:10

in there, okay? Fine. They're

10:13

disgusting. It stinks in there.

10:15

We got to do the presentation

10:17

from this side because it smells

10:19

like what I presume a bat cave

10:21

smells like. Wait, have we been in a

10:24

bat cave? You weren't there. I was in

10:26

a wolf cave. They're probably bats

10:28

in there. It sounds like that

10:30

bat cave. Robin. Well, okay, that's weird.

10:32

But yeah, no, I've been in a wolf

10:34

den. It was disgusting. It smells like

10:36

that. Over there. You mean that place

10:39

where Bath went through ahead at you?

10:41

Uh, yeah, I think that is where that

10:43

was, but you weren't there. I

10:45

did talk about that a lot. Yes,

10:47

I have mentioned that. It was

10:50

in a disgusting, dirty, dank cave.

10:52

You didn't mention that part

10:54

at all. It's just all about the

10:56

head. Yeah, because what? A human

10:59

head. I'm not saying it shouldn't

11:01

have been all about the head.

11:03

I'm just saying you left out the

11:06

smell part. Listen, everywhere

11:08

I've been. So many places I've

11:10

been. Like home, okay? Stop talking

11:12

about it. Don't, I can't, I

11:14

need to get back there. God

11:17

damn it, everything is going

11:19

wrong. I know like you

11:21

in controller like everything, like

11:23

do you control how things

11:25

smell? I mean, in some

11:27

ways, certainly things can't smell

11:29

certain ways when I'm there,

11:31

it better still smell good. He

11:33

just takes a deep breath

11:35

and looks at, no, closes his

11:38

eyes, looks at nothing. All right.

11:40

This fucking sex window is done.

11:42

Great. Do you think everybody

11:44

else is done too? I don't

11:47

know. How long have we been

11:49

in here? DM? You answer that?

11:51

Four minutes. Really? I don't know.

11:53

I assumed it took me a while.

11:55

I've never really, I don't, I've

11:57

never done any work like that.

11:59

I'm not a window maker.

12:01

Never built a sex window.

12:04

I've never, yeah, I've specifically

12:06

also never built a sex

12:08

window. You have to do

12:10

a lot of instances of

12:12

casting mending. Right, yeah, I

12:14

get it. I'm probably tired.

12:16

Yeah. Okay. Well, let's, uh,

12:19

should we see how everybody

12:21

else is doing? Or do

12:23

you just want to stay

12:25

here? We'll just still has

12:27

his eyes closed. I can

12:29

try to clear out some

12:31

of this crate for you.

12:34

If you want. I think

12:36

he looks at Shimi and

12:38

just nods and then just

12:40

still stands there. He closes

12:42

his eyes again. I'll try

12:44

to do it quietly. I

12:46

go sit on a bed

12:49

pulling the crate out bit

12:51

by bit. Amazing. I have

12:53

a servant. It's fantastic. Dream

12:55

come true. So, um, bathwack

12:57

and refina. Okay. We have

12:59

seen the albatross. Wait, maybe

13:01

I should just discuss that

13:04

with that. Thwack, I just

13:06

assumed he'd want to go

13:08

back. Bathpack? Oh yeah. Yeah.

13:10

Our work here is, uh,

13:12

kick, your, our work here

13:14

is done. Yeah, I'm going

13:16

to picture that fish one

13:19

last time that I was

13:21

going to get for the

13:23

albatross. Okay. And see if

13:25

I could reel it up.

13:27

All right. Give me a

13:29

nature check. Is that what

13:31

we use before? It's pretty

13:33

hard to catch a fish

13:36

that doesn't exist. It is,

13:38

well, let's see. Oh, that's

13:40

really good. That is really

13:42

good. 19! Oh, hell yeah!

13:44

Imaginary fish. So what was

13:46

the description of the fish?

13:48

You have it somewhere, I

13:51

know. Oh, I'm sure. Spiny,

13:53

spiny, spiny. It was in

13:55

your recap. Yeah, it totally

13:57

was. Yeah, give me a

13:59

word from it. I think

14:01

that is one of the

14:03

words. Okay, close your eyes,

14:06

but don't because we're walking

14:08

No, that's where he was

14:10

describing it. This is the

14:12

first description. He says it's

14:14

like a rainbow with spikes,

14:16

it wiggles, iridescent, and the

14:18

rainbow has a mouth on

14:21

it. Imagine that. He made

14:23

it out. He hopes it's

14:25

real. Okay. And the captain

14:27

says, good luck, son. And

14:29

that's when he put the

14:31

pin on you. That's so

14:33

great. Oh yeah. Yeah, trying

14:36

to catch a rainbow with

14:38

spikes, iridescent, wiggling with a

14:40

mouth so he can catch

14:42

it. Yeah, so funny. All

14:44

right, so you got something

14:46

on the line and you

14:48

start to reel it in.

14:51

And you're fighting. It seems

14:53

like it's got quite a

14:55

heft to it in and

14:57

out. It's a struggle, but

14:59

eventually you're able to pull

15:01

it up and flop it

15:03

onto the deck. Basically you

15:06

can picture. Do you guys

15:08

know what a blob fish

15:10

looks like? Yes. It's like

15:12

a rainbow blob fish. There's

15:14

no spikes. But it's it's

15:16

kind of iridescent and it

15:18

has a mouth. I will

15:21

name it Blobby. But it

15:23

can't be out of the

15:25

water very long. Are we

15:27

going to put it back?

15:29

All right, I respect that.

15:31

Oh, don't ever believe you.

15:33

Can you put water in

15:36

your terrarium? Of course. Wait,

15:38

do you have your terrarium?

15:40

It's right behind us, it's

15:42

been trotting. Yep. Do you

15:45

still have create water? Like

15:47

very early on. That's before

15:49

I knew how to do

15:52

indeed. Oh, now we can't

15:54

create water when we need

15:56

it. You're going to need

15:58

it. I do have my

16:01

tea in my little flask.

16:03

Also aren't me on the

16:05

ocean? Or is the fresh

16:08

one? I don't die. Saltwater

16:10

tea? It's already probably depressurized

16:12

like that poor blob fish

16:14

is. Did you know that?

16:17

That's not how it looks

16:19

underwater. It's all. So sad,

16:21

yeah, so you've already killed

16:23

like messed it up and

16:26

now you're pouring fresh water

16:28

on you trying to help

16:30

it. All I'm saying is

16:33

it looks like a depressurized

16:35

blob fish. I'm not saying

16:37

it is depressurized. Okay, cool.

16:39

That's just what it looks

16:42

like. Yeah. Yeah, okay. But

16:44

you did catch it out

16:46

of salt water. Okay. Yeah,

16:49

well there's salt in the

16:51

tea. It's fine. It's okay,

16:53

Ravina. Really? I'm gonna put

16:55

it back. No one's gonna

16:58

believe you that you caught

17:00

it even when I tell

17:02

them they don't believe anything.

17:05

I'll take a picture. Draw

17:07

a picture of it. Okay,

17:09

I'm drawing a picture. All

17:11

right, good. I'm gonna pet

17:14

it. I hope it's not

17:16

poisonous. It bites you. Just

17:18

kidding. And then you feel

17:21

like it kind of looks

17:23

at you. But you might

17:25

be imagining it. Whoa. I

17:27

see it look at me

17:30

and then I look at

17:32

it and it's not looking

17:34

at me. Uh-huh. It's kind

17:37

of disconcerting to pet. It's

17:39

almost like you can't touch

17:41

it. Like you can, but

17:43

like it like, it's so

17:46

blobbly that like you try

17:48

to put pressure on it

17:50

to pet it and it

17:53

like the body underneath it

17:55

like scoops out from under

17:57

your hands a little bit.

17:59

Amazing. I was gonna feed

18:02

this to the albatross, but...

18:04

That guy was a joke.

18:06

I don't think he's an

18:08

albatross. I think he's Randy.

18:11

He's Randy to pretend albatross.

18:13

So let's put the fish

18:15

back. But it exists, Rifina.

18:18

It's really there, see? I

18:20

think I believe you. I

18:22

think I believe you. Exactly

18:24

how I pictured it. And

18:27

then I'll throw it back

18:29

in. Okay. You chuck it

18:31

over the railing. It tumbles

18:34

down. Oh no! No, not

18:36

along the side. Like it

18:38

doesn't clip the railing. Oh

18:40

my gosh. You talked about

18:43

Titanic before. Oh no. Adam

18:45

mentioned Titanic. The ship turns

18:47

and the blob fish hits

18:50

every rung on the way

18:52

down like that guy that

18:54

falls against the big pole.

18:56

There's a garbage barge going

18:59

past as we throw it

19:01

just lands on an old

19:03

dirty diaper upside down. Perfect.

19:06

No, it tumbles through the

19:08

air. Not gracefully, but unen-

19:10

not painfully either. And it's

19:12

not a sequel to our

19:15

as you fish. And in

19:17

your mind bathwack you hear.

19:19

Thanks. Whoa. Whoa. Man I

19:22

wish Blobby were a god.

19:24

We could use a god

19:26

like Blobby. Maybe it was.

19:28

Athena. It talked to me.

19:31

It talked to me. It

19:33

talked to you? It said,

19:35

thanks. And that's when I

19:38

said it. That's like would

19:40

have cast it just instinctually

19:42

with you screaming out of

19:44

him, but he doesn't have

19:47

the spell slide. Doesn't have

19:49

it left. Yep. Yep. Thanks.

19:51

It said thanks. I wish

19:54

Blobby were a god. Don't

19:56

we all? Don't we all?

19:58

All right. So you've all

20:00

accomplished your separate tasks. Do

20:03

any of you feel the

20:05

need to debrief each other

20:07

with any of the goings

20:09

on that have occurred? Oh,

20:12

we definitely have to. Yeah,

20:14

we would tell everybody. Okay.

20:16

Although, maybe I'll discuss with

20:19

Vienna on the way up

20:21

that we forgot to do

20:23

something important. We forgot to

20:25

ask the albatross what the

20:28

right direction is. Oh, you're

20:30

the one who was like,

20:32

oh, we gotta stop talking

20:35

to this bird. I thought

20:37

he was on to us.

20:39

It doesn't matter. Yeah. But

20:41

now we don't know the

20:44

direction to the one will

20:46

loves. Oh, I thought you're

20:48

talking about how to get

20:51

to gully send. No, I

20:53

know how to get to

20:55

gully's end. The

20:58

one that Will loves.

21:00

Well, maybe if you

21:02

think really hard you'll

21:05

remember what he said.

21:07

Or you'll understand it

21:10

better than we did

21:12

before. What nice euphemism

21:14

for retconning Which don't

21:17

get me wrong. I

21:19

think should be an

21:21

option All right, well,

21:24

let's go tell everyone.

21:26

Okay Did you guys

21:28

set a rendezvous point

21:31

speaking? No, this is

21:33

a rendezvous point I'm

21:35

just sitting in the

21:38

room. Let's meet on

21:40

this ship We also

21:42

said a watch Yeah,

21:47

and I'm in a brief

21:49

about anyway. Good point. All

21:51

right, you guys try to

21:54

find everyone. Ross goes in

21:56

his room, Mo's in his

21:58

room. Will is in that

22:01

new room. Shimi is chucking

22:03

bits of crate off the

22:06

side of the boat. So

22:08

that's where they all are.

22:10

I would guess we would

22:13

go to Roscoe's room because

22:15

that's where Roscoe and Mo

22:17

were before. No, they were

22:20

in those room. Oh, I

22:22

guess we go to Roscoe's

22:25

room because that's where I

22:27

thought they were. So

22:31

Rafina remembered. Yeah. You go

22:33

in the mo's room? Pepper's

22:36

farm remembers. No, it's Smuckers.

22:38

No, you're right, it's Peppers.

22:40

Smuckers remembers. Okay. Yeah, we

22:42

go to mo's room with

22:45

Rafina. I mean, we go

22:47

to Roscoe's room with. Raffina

22:49

protesting that we should be

22:51

going to Moser. Well, they're

22:54

like right across the hall

22:56

from each other, so if

22:58

you want to go to

23:00

both, you can. So our

23:03

arguing is heard through the

23:05

doors of both of these

23:07

rooms. Yeah. Mo pokes out.

23:09

What's wrong? I tried to

23:12

rest. I forgot you can

23:14

actually rest. I apologize. There

23:16

ain't no rest for Raffina.

23:18

So true. We have a

23:21

lot of news, but we

23:23

want to share only once.

23:25

Okay. So go find everybody

23:28

everybody if you can. If

23:30

you can. What? I'm trying

23:32

to rest! That's amazing. That

23:34

is so good. And the

23:37

delivery was... I've never heard

23:39

Mo express such disbelief, such

23:41

incredulity, like an exasperation. He's

23:43

like, I have a stabbing

23:46

machine. I know that's all

23:48

I am to you, so

23:50

let me rest and get...

23:52

Get my stabbing powers back!

23:55

I hit my teeth on

23:57

the microphone thing. No idea

23:59

how much stabbing is in

24:01

script. Let's just take a

24:04

moment to recognize that the

24:06

NPCs are actually like, there's

24:08

been a lot of growth

24:10

for them in this session.

24:13

You know, Jimmy has been

24:15

pushing up, has been pushing

24:17

back to Will and now

24:19

Mo is taking a stand

24:22

for his rest. Wow. Well,

24:24

do you know where they

24:26

are before you go back

24:28

to sleep? I think Roscoe

24:31

is in his room. Well,

24:33

that was. Gonna be too

24:35

easy. Fine. I mean, Will

24:38

and Shimi were fixing whole?

24:40

Did you check a whole

24:42

room? Oh, well, let's go

24:44

to the whole room. The

24:47

Whiz Palace. Let's go to

24:49

the whole palace. But Mo,

24:51

you need to know these

24:53

news too. Can you be

24:56

awake for five minutes so

24:58

we can tell you please?

25:00

I'm so sorry. Okay, I

25:02

can hear these news too.

25:05

Okay, okay, let's go. We're

25:07

off to see the Whiz

25:09

Palace. Oh, that's not right.

25:11

The whole palace? I can't

25:14

even get my own joke

25:16

right. Hey guys, where are

25:18

you? Hey, which one is

25:20

the whole room? It's down

25:23

there, remember? Thank you. The

25:25

one where she me got

25:27

stabbed in eye? Yeah, all

25:29

right. This book gets me

25:32

all turned around, I'm sorry.

25:34

I'm dissatisfied with the quality

25:36

of gods we keep bumping

25:38

into and it's really shaking

25:41

my faith. Hmm. We've been

25:43

on this boat for like

25:45

seven hours. Not even relevant

25:47

point, Mo. Oh, okay. Rusco,

25:50

come on, there's news. Yeah,

25:52

come on. Yeah, come on.

25:54

He opens the door and

25:57

tries to drag you out.

25:59

Ruska's in the middle of

26:01

snorting brown treat. Because he's

26:03

got multiple copies of a

26:06

script to write by hand

26:08

What is happening? What I

26:10

gotta write? God damn it.

26:12

It's okay. They'll You should

26:15

be resting. No, I know.

26:17

I have to rest. You

26:19

have to write. But Rafina

26:21

only wants to say this

26:24

once. Oh, this better be

26:26

fucking important. It's huge. Oh,

26:28

it's huge. Okay. Just wait

26:30

till you hear what the

26:33

Albatross's real name is. All

26:35

right, hold on, Haimo. Yeah,

26:37

he wants some of this.

26:39

Okay. Just snoited it up

26:42

and do you have a...

26:44

He's got nostrils. Yeah, yeah,

26:46

I put some on the

26:48

on my finger. Okay. How's

26:51

it feel? Um, I mean,

26:53

I, I still feel like,

26:55

generally positive about life in

26:57

the world. We can do

27:00

it. We can do it.

27:02

We're supposed to make you

27:04

feel more like creative. Huh?

27:07

More like an artist. You

27:09

know, with like a gaping

27:11

hole of despair at the

27:13

center. Oh, like the whole

27:16

room. That's where we're going.

27:18

All right. Good. Yeah, come

27:20

on. Let's go. Okay. All

27:22

right. Will. Knock, knock, knock.

27:25

A hole. group

27:27

of I thought it was

27:29

nice and quiet and here

27:31

Shimi did all that work

27:33

and then everyone comes in

27:36

the room. I just like

27:38

I don't even move. I

27:40

open my eyes. I was

27:42

sitting on the bed with

27:45

my eyes closed and then

27:47

I just I with my

27:49

hands like this like just

27:51

with my hit my head

27:54

in my hands. Uh-huh. I

27:56

just opened my eyes and

27:58

I look up at everybody.

28:00

And then it's self-destruct! by,

28:03

see Mo has become a

28:05

creative artist and that's what

28:07

happened. Yeah, he's a creative

28:09

artist. First of all, Mo

28:11

just had, Mo just had

28:14

some brown treat and second

28:16

of all, the window looks

28:18

surprisingly tantalizing. Well done. And

28:20

third of all, the Albatross,

28:23

we got him to come

28:25

back. And we cast zone

28:27

of truth by we, I

28:29

mean, Bathwack, but it was

28:32

my idea. And the Albatross

28:34

is not called the Cross

28:36

Albatross. He's called Randy. What?

28:38

And the person that you

28:41

love is not dead. And

28:43

that's you will. And... The

28:45

owl bear was just making

28:47

him sad because it was

28:50

making a noise and Bathwack

28:52

help me out here. There

28:54

was one more thing. Oh

28:56

Gully's end better got it's

28:59

better to get there by

29:01

land What because they're watching

29:03

the ports? Okay, so I'm

29:05

not a seafarer. I think

29:08

you mean the place where

29:10

the boat docks, not the

29:12

portholes? Okay. Yeah. All right.

29:14

Can't we take, can we,

29:17

can we, can we, maybe

29:19

we could use a small

29:21

boat once we kind of

29:23

get, who's they, who's watching

29:25

the ports? Here's my idea.

29:28

Like the guy like he

29:30

didn't specify fuck probably probably

29:32

but we didn't specify we

29:34

didn't get him to specify

29:37

that and we also forgot

29:39

to very specify exactly where

29:41

Your love is so I

29:43

apologize talking about my love

29:46

because whatever that is is

29:48

probably for Roscoe because that

29:50

doesn't even apply to me

29:52

so I don't know what

29:55

you're talking about. Yeah, sounds

29:57

like this might be about

29:59

Tanya. Yeah, I don't have

30:01

a dead love or whatever

30:04

that means. That is, doesn't

30:06

apply? I'm so glad Tani

30:08

is a lie. Maybe it

30:10

is. It's possible. The pronouns

30:13

are very confusing. But, what

30:15

were the pronouns? What is

30:17

pronoun? Nope. I cannot work

30:19

under these conditions. All right,

30:22

anyway, back to getting off

30:24

of the ship in a

30:26

way that nobody will notice

30:28

us. Here's my idea. At

30:31

the end of the talent

30:33

show, we can sing a

30:35

goodbye song, where each of

30:37

us slowly leaves one at

30:40

a time. Sound of music

30:42

style. And so long, farewell.

30:44

I was going to tell

30:46

him that the person he

30:48

thinks about a lot is

30:51

alive. And then kick closes

30:53

his eyes like he's channeling

30:55

the albatross. I was going

30:57

to tell him that the

31:00

person he thinks about a

31:02

lot is alive and I

31:04

was going to point him

31:06

in the right direction. And

31:09

then. He opens his eyes

31:11

and he shakes his head

31:13

like, whoa. What just happened

31:15

here? The one who was

31:18

rude to him, he said.

31:20

The one who was disrespectful.

31:22

Roscoe was disrespectful to the

31:24

albatross. But it could have

31:27

been you. What do you

31:29

mean? I love the gods.

31:31

I look, my eyes, my

31:33

eyes, my eyes, my eyes,

31:36

my eyes, my eyes, he's

31:38

alive. Oh, that was the

31:40

confusing pronoun. Yeah, but also,

31:42

Rafita probably doesn't really have

31:45

a good sense of who,

31:47

if any, but I mean,

31:49

other than the fact that

31:51

she had some memories of,

31:54

like, you know, vision into

31:56

his earlier life, she's not

31:58

going to add... All she

32:00

really knows about Will's love

32:02

life is that he doesn't really

32:05

like to have a love

32:07

life. Yeah, yeah, Bathwack knows

32:09

the most about anything. Oh,

32:12

yeah. About that stuff, I

32:14

guess. Yeah, I'm not sure how, I

32:16

don't think I ever saw that

32:18

far for like close to

32:20

the present. Yeah, that I remember.

32:23

But yeah, and we caught

32:25

a blobby fish and threw it

32:27

back. Didn't want to know

32:30

that part. It was it

32:32

was real. I told you they

32:34

wouldn't believe you. It was

32:36

just like I imagined

32:39

You didn't eat? What?

32:41

A lobby fish sounds

32:43

disgusting. He was so happy

32:45

when we threw it back All

32:47

right. It might have said

32:50

thanks if we ate it to I

32:52

don't know Is that it? Yeah, yeah,

32:54

I ran a big news you brought

32:56

me. Well, like the thing that is

32:58

the most important, I know the Randy

33:00

thing is weird, but maybe his

33:02

name is Randy Albatross, across Randy

33:05

Albatross, like why he was really

33:07

upset that he couldn't say the

33:09

pretend name that he was using

33:11

with us. Pretend name? Well, because

33:13

it was zone of truth, and

33:15

then he kept saying Randy instead

33:17

of the cross Albatross. Yeah,

33:20

okay. Is he a guy? Is

33:22

he a person? Obviously... Amber Tam-

33:25

Tam- Temple. Obviously, his memory's

33:27

been fucked with in some way,

33:29

right? Like he thinks that his

33:31

name is one thing, but something

33:33

inside of him knows that his

33:35

name is something else. And it's

33:37

very unlucky of him. It is

33:39

also very alarming, though, that

33:41

it's a god this time,

33:43

because we've experienced this with

33:46

other people, but not gods

33:48

before, and I really don't.

33:50

like that knowing that gods

33:52

could be even more demented

33:54

is it sort of a splintry

33:56

situation it could be

33:59

but also So he said that

34:01

he's been around since the

34:03

beginning of time, which was

34:05

two weeks ago. What the fuck

34:07

does that mean? Is that when,

34:09

when was, when were we two

34:11

weeks ago? What happened two weeks

34:13

ago? What was two weeks ago?

34:16

DM. No, what was that? When you

34:18

left Barovia. Two weeks ago. It's

34:20

probably more than that. I

34:22

hate time. That's what I

34:24

understood it to be. Yeah.

34:26

Fuck, what the fuck? So we

34:29

started, we are leaving Barovia,

34:31

started changing stuff. I don't

34:33

know if we've had this

34:35

realization before, but apparently, I

34:38

mean, yeah, like there's people

34:40

we don't know. I don't

34:42

know what any of this

34:44

tells us. I'm exhausted. Does

34:46

anyone know, did anyone know

34:48

or Randy from before we

34:51

got, Barovia? Roscoe, did you

34:53

know any Randy's? I'm trying to

34:55

rack my brain. I'm

34:58

trying to remember if

35:00

I know any Randis,

35:02

I'm feeling uncharacteristically reliant

35:05

on randomness for this

35:08

decision. Is that okay?

35:10

Yeah, do it. Eric

35:13

is okay. Randiness. Randi.

35:15

Randy is short for random.

35:18

Randi. Randi. Randi. I'm

35:20

gonna, can I do

35:22

a history shake? Sure.

35:27

Seven. You think

35:29

that you almost got

35:32

into a fight with

35:34

this guy named

35:37

Randy like 12

35:39

years ago in

35:42

Tapperdown? Did he

35:44

have feathers? No.

35:46

Thank you for entertaining

35:50

my question. You're

35:53

welcome. No

35:55

problem. Oh, Raskin,

35:58

I have that down. Oh yeah?

36:00

I'll look at your script in

36:02

the morning. What the fuck? What

36:04

does that mean? We're putting on a

36:06

play? No, talent show. Do

36:08

you need help copying out the

36:11

scripts? Roscoe? You just don't want

36:13

me to see. I'm good at writing,

36:15

I could do it Roscoe, I could

36:17

help you. We gotta do this thing.

36:20

I have a mimicograph machine

36:22

in my terrarium. Just

36:24

kidding, DM, DM. No, you do, actually.

36:26

But unfortunately, it's only this. It's

36:29

only the size of the miniatures

36:31

of the little book that you

36:33

gave the And you're out of toner

36:35

or whatever the home minigraph machines use.

36:37

Yeah, bejean. Well, if she says that

36:40

I look at her and I have

36:42

no idea what a miniograph is,

36:44

right? Like we wouldn't know what

36:46

that's. But you can hear the

36:49

squeaky noise from the terrarium and

36:51

it's the scorpion, the warping scorpion

36:53

just running it again and again.

36:56

There's no you know the

36:58

paper's just flying out but nothing's on

37:00

it. But then I look back at

37:02

Roscoe and I I I look at

37:04

you like I just made the offer

37:07

like I raise my eyebrows like

37:09

I do it I write a

37:11

lot I got paper. The fact

37:13

is I I'm still putting the

37:15

finishing touches on on the whole

37:17

thing so not quite yet at

37:20

the copying face and you know

37:22

still writing it tweakting it okay.

37:24

But I appreciate it. Are there

37:26

like lines? What is, what, what,

37:29

what, how much do we

37:31

have to remember? Like

37:33

physical cues? Some people

37:35

have lines? Oh God. Yeah, you

37:37

see. Okay, well then also if we're like

37:40

so. if we're doing the talent show that

37:42

means we still got to figure out a

37:44

way to get on land from this ship

37:46

without being seen so is that using a

37:48

smaller boat i don't know how often ports

37:50

are i mean will probably know something about

37:52

ports that's like trade and stuff how like

37:54

is there a way to get off a

37:56

cruise ship and like take a small boat

37:58

and not go to a port I'm that's

38:00

a stupid question but like DM

38:02

is that a yeah sure so we could also

38:04

just get kicked off like the ferret

38:07

wanted to do originally yeah that's what

38:09

I'm wondering like do we even do

38:11

the talent show or do we just

38:13

fucking leave but I you know we're

38:15

still two days away or something what

38:18

was the distance so we still have

38:20

to do the talent show unless we

38:22

want to walk there and I

38:24

still feel like this plan is

38:26

our best bet but you know

38:28

what maybe nothing I say matters

38:31

so you know whatever oh well

38:33

no I'm just tired I was

38:35

in here alone and now I'm

38:37

tired and I feel like if

38:39

we have two days until we

38:42

get to go these end just

38:44

give me two days alone holy

38:46

shit all right everybody

38:48

I think you need to clear

38:51

out thank you Goodbye everyone. I

38:53

wish you had been a

38:55

little bit more appreciative of

38:58

my news, but goodbye. Rufina,

39:00

thank you for all the news. But

39:02

also, even though we haven't

39:04

slept and don't need to, I

39:07

feel like I need to sleep.

39:09

And I can't sleep. Isn't anyone

39:11

else going crazy about that?

39:13

Because, oh my God. I

39:16

will weird. Exhaustid. How long has

39:18

Roscoe been unable to sleep?

39:22

Well, we could think

39:24

back. You spent a

39:26

night in Trent. You

39:28

spent a night in

39:31

the Quiet Crossings Inn.

39:33

You... I'm not asking

39:36

how long it's been.

39:38

I'm saying, when did

39:40

it start for Roscoe?

39:43

Uh... Was it after the

39:45

first night we were

39:48

together? Was it before

39:50

he met them? No. it

39:52

started kind of basically around

39:54

then i don't remember around

39:56

the time that he met

39:58

this group yeah So

40:01

I think Roscoe you think

40:03

we should all meet like early

40:05

morning and get ready together

40:07

or are we not doing show?

40:09

No, we're gonna do the show we

40:11

got I think we got to do the

40:14

show I think we have to Oh, yeah,

40:16

you want two days to be alone.

40:18

I forgot. I'm just saying I

40:20

think we need to stay on

40:22

the bus. I don't know I'm

40:24

not the boss of everybody here.

40:27

I said clear out Except

40:29

you're not gonna. Thank you,

40:32

Rifina, for being useful and

40:34

amazing and making us stay

40:36

on the ship and having

40:38

almost a nice time, except

40:40

everything sucks. It was mostly

40:43

bathwack. It was mostly

40:45

bathwack. Wait, what was mostly

40:48

bathwack? Well, she's just grateful

40:50

that he casts zone of

40:52

truth when she ends up truth.

40:54

Okay, oh, so you're

40:56

giving credits about the

40:59

whack and will would

41:01

be like, okay, thanks

41:03

bath the whack. And I

41:06

look at the window and

41:08

I just read it.

41:10

Thanks. Thank you.

41:12

Isn't that tantalizing

41:15

bath whack? I mean, kick.

41:17

We both said in the

41:19

same time. Weird. All

41:21

right. So everybody.

41:23

splits up and tries to rest

41:26

the best they can as nightfalls

41:28

on the cruise ship. There's

41:30

still food in the kitchen if

41:33

anybody goes and wants to scrounge

41:35

some up. No one to prepare

41:37

it. Shimi! Prepare it! Oh,

41:40

all right. No, he has to go to

41:42

sleep, I'm sure. No, no, it's fine,

41:44

Will. Stop it! It's not that late

41:46

yet. Stop it! I'm not playing this. He wouldn't

41:48

have said that. I'm saying for dinner time.

41:50

I thought Mo is resting, like is just,

41:52

is it not, is it not that late then? Okay.

41:55

No, it's, it's not like 2 a.m. I don't want

41:57

to, I don't, I'm trying to say, I

41:59

don't want to bother. Shimi around. Will's

42:01

not in the mood. He's

42:03

just, sorry, maybe some other

42:05

day I'll boss you around.

42:08

Just not today. Yeah, Shimi

42:10

can try to whip something

42:12

up. It's pretty basic,

42:14

rudimentary stuff, but

42:16

hey, it's food. And yeah, night

42:19

falls on the cruise ship. If

42:21

you go up above deck, it's

42:23

a nice clear night. The stars

42:26

are out. Maybe try to rest

42:28

in your rooms or whatnot and

42:30

the night Passes to a point

42:32

All right Alex doesn't

42:34

have any spells anymore

42:36

I know I really hope it can

42:39

actually rest good this because

42:41

like literally this I'm sorry

42:43

this day has gone on for

42:46

many weeks It's like literally this

42:48

I'm sorry this day has gone

42:50

on for many weeks It

42:52

really has gone on

42:55

for many weeks Will,

42:57

you're resting

42:59

in your room,

43:01

or trying, you're

43:04

feeling anxiety

43:06

in your

43:08

room, which

43:10

is Will's

43:12

version of

43:14

resting. Okay. And

43:17

you hear in

43:19

your head a

43:22

familiar voice. It

43:25

is the voice

43:28

of Eldon.

43:31

Oh, okay. Your

43:34

former lover.

43:37

Okay. And

43:39

the voice

43:41

says, Will.

43:44

Zoberia

43:47

is waiting

43:49

for you. In

43:54

my head or in my ears? In

43:57

your head. Jesus Christ. I

43:59

look around. Is there

44:01

a swearly

44:04

ball anywhere?

44:08

No. I go into

44:11

the bed

44:13

and pull

44:16

the covers

44:18

over my

44:21

head like

44:24

Ebenees are

44:27

screwed. That's

44:30

I literally like will I

44:33

don't know what he's doing

44:35

if he's resting. Maybe he

44:37

was just still sitting like

44:40

just sitting all night But

44:42

like I feel like he just

44:44

puts the covers over his

44:47

head. Let's Will I'm waiting

44:49

for you Okay, I throw the

44:51

covers off in irritation

44:53

Because I assume that

44:56

something bad is happening

44:58

and I Where

45:00

is everybody sleeping? Like where is...

45:02

Like where are the rooms? Oh wait,

45:04

shit. Yours is kind of separate from

45:07

the rest of there. I'm kind of

45:09

separated now. Okay, so like, oh, eww,

45:11

wait, I'm sleeping next to the animals

45:13

and there's a sexy window in between.

45:16

I realize that I'm in the worst

45:18

room of my life and I leave

45:20

the room. You see the ankle of some

45:22

sort of creature. Eww! Okay, I leave, I

45:25

get out of the door and I go

45:27

walk towards the rooms. The other rooms. Alright,

45:30

the ship is quiet. Yeah. I'm

45:32

moving my figure over to where

45:34

the rooms are. I know what you mean.

45:36

You can, it's all good. Okay. I

45:38

don't know where the stairs are. I'm

45:41

sorry. Well, there were stairs. You

45:43

passed stairs. Oh, but there's also some

45:45

up here too. Okay, do I pass

45:47

them without anything happening

45:49

above deck? Nothing happens.

45:52

Actually, I guess you wouldn't

45:54

pass the one set of

45:56

stairs. They're a little bit

45:58

further forward. Okay,

46:01

well I go over here to

46:03

these rooms. Okay. You're

46:05

at the rooms. Uh-huh. Do

46:08

I hear anything? Do I see

46:10

anybody? Um. Not that

46:12

I'm aware of, unless someone

46:15

wants to correct me.

46:17

What time of night is

46:19

it? Like, how... I mean, maybe

46:21

like three in the

46:23

morning? Like, I don't

46:25

see anybody, I don't

46:27

hear anything out here. Um,

46:31

I feel dumb. Like if I

46:33

don't hear anything else,

46:36

I feel like I'm

46:38

just hallucinating because, you

46:40

know, what else is

46:43

new and I'm probably

46:45

having an aneurysm.

46:48

So I... So you hear, what's

46:50

taking so long? Oh God,

46:52

this is creepy. Oh my

46:55

God, this is creepy. I'm scared.

46:57

Okay. Who do I? Oh God.

46:59

This is, I feel like Will

47:01

is also like experiencing this indecision

47:04

of who do I approach. I

47:06

don't know. Hey, do you hear

47:08

this weird voice? I don't know

47:11

who to talk to. I turn

47:13

around. I go the other way.

47:15

I walk down this hallway. I

47:18

just made a circle. See what

47:20

I'm doing? Yeah. Going down this

47:23

hallway. Okay. Yep. And then

47:25

this would be the stairs that

47:27

would head up. Where? I

47:29

can't see. Further towards

47:32

the... The back of the ship.

47:34

Oh shit, what's the back?

47:36

Okay, this is the back.

47:38

I see. Those ones, okay.

47:40

So I am closer. Yeah.

47:42

I guess... Is Sean in

47:44

to go still in this

47:47

room? I roll his prison

47:49

out of the room. Make

47:51

him go upstairs.

47:53

We don't even know where

47:56

Sean Indigo is. A fair

47:58

at Adam or something. Oh

48:00

my god, I don't know

48:02

what to do. Who wants

48:04

to be woken up? Or

48:06

you're not, you're

48:09

not asleep. Will, where are

48:11

you? I go up the

48:13

stairs. Okay. The rest of

48:16

you are just in your

48:18

rooms, just having some

48:20

time to yourselves,

48:23

I'm assuming. Yep. I'm

48:25

down in the fishing

48:27

area. Awesome. You all, you

48:29

don't know this, but basically

48:32

simultaneously

48:34

feel on your person somewhere,

48:37

like in a pocket

48:39

or something like that,

48:41

you feel like something

48:43

small, like kind of

48:46

just rustle for a

48:48

second. Ooh, what the fuck?

48:50

Not like a living

48:52

crawling or something like

48:55

appearing. Yeah, more that.

48:57

And if you check,

49:00

you find a sheet

49:02

of paper, and it

49:04

says, in sort

49:07

of a nicely printed

49:10

script, your

49:12

friend Will needs

49:14

you. What the fuck?

49:17

Come to the upper

49:19

deck and observe,

49:22

but do not

49:24

intervene. Oh,

49:27

man. What

49:30

in

49:32

the

49:35

fuck?

49:38

So

49:41

I go

49:45

up?

49:47

I don't

49:53

know.

49:57

Raffina comes out and...

50:01

Knox on, let's see,

50:03

Mo was crabby when

50:05

she woke him up.

50:08

She's gonna wake up,

50:10

she's gonna knock on

50:13

Roscoe's door because

50:15

he doesn't sleep.

50:18

Roscoe's already

50:20

opening the door.

50:22

Oh, you're, you're,

50:25

where are you going?

50:27

I just got this

50:29

piece of paper. I'm

50:31

going up there, so. It's

50:34

not part of this

50:36

talent show, right? No.

50:38

Okay. All right, let's

50:40

go. Should we ask

50:42

the others? I'd rather

50:44

we go together. You

50:47

got one too? I'm just

50:49

telling you, I got

50:51

one too. And I pulled

50:53

out and I showed you.

50:56

And I pulled out and

50:58

I showed you. Well,

51:01

somebody has

51:04

a mimicograph

51:06

machine. Something tells me

51:08

I think we might

51:11

see the others

51:13

when I, when we

51:15

go up. You might be

51:18

right. Okay, here we

51:20

go. All right, I'm

51:22

gonna go up to

51:24

the other sleeping quarters.

51:28

I'm going to wait.

51:30

Okay. You might

51:32

catch Roscoe and

51:35

Rafina at the

51:37

tail end of their

51:39

conversation.

51:41

Oh. What are you guys

51:44

talking about? Well,

51:47

it's summer going

51:49

above deck. Did

51:51

you, did you, uh,

51:53

suddenly feel

51:55

something in

51:57

your pocket? Yeah.

52:01

There's not a

52:03

secret message from an

52:06

unseen force in your

52:08

pocket or you just

52:10

happen to see me. Oh

52:13

my god. Yeah, we can't

52:15

deli deli. Will needs our

52:17

help. Maybe we should go

52:20

up different stairs.

52:22

Different, why? I don't

52:24

know. I know it said

52:27

not to intervene, but you

52:29

never know. Okay. Rusk goes

52:31

ahead and for the only

52:34

stairs that he knows. It's

52:36

just going to kill them.

52:38

Rusk is so annoyed. Like,

52:41

whatever, I'm taking the stairs.

52:43

There's like, there's that ladder

52:45

that's along the side of

52:47

the ship. It's not actually

52:50

stairs. Is that where you're

52:52

going up? He's crawling on

52:54

the side of the boat.

52:56

We've got four stairwells and

52:59

then I don't know if

53:01

there were actually ladders.

53:03

I made the ladders, but boats

53:05

always have ladders. Yeah, I

53:08

was going to climb up

53:10

for the fishing area, but

53:12

I didn't want to risk

53:15

falling in. You fall on

53:17

the water from a cruise

53:19

ship, you're gone. Especially at

53:22

night. It matters to me even

53:24

if you don't care. Oh, are you

53:26

walking past me and going up the

53:28

bat? I want us to go together

53:30

stairwells. I'm tired of us splitting

53:33

up. Feels dangerous anyway. There's stairs

53:35

right near where you guys

53:37

are that go up. There's

53:39

two sets and then there's two

53:41

sets down near the other end of

53:43

the ship. Yeah. Wait his will in his

53:45

room. No, I'm above deck. Well, I

53:48

think that was in character. Oh, sorry.

53:50

Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Well, yeah, yeah,

53:52

I mean it kind of was

53:54

we haven't checked actually where's do

53:56

that first go Let's maybe maybe

53:58

he's not there yet. Yeah, let's

54:01

make sure. Yeah, let's make

54:03

sure. Okay. All right. So

54:05

you guys go check to

54:07

see if Will is in

54:09

his room. Uh, if you

54:12

knock, there's no answer. If

54:14

you check the door, it's

54:16

unlocked. You open it and

54:18

he's not in there. We

54:20

should get Mo and Shimi,

54:22

because they might actually be

54:25

asleep and haven't gotten a

54:27

note or notice that they

54:29

got a note. The same

54:31

amount of tired you are

54:33

of us splitting up. I

54:35

am of us always having

54:38

to do everything altogether. Come

54:40

on, Roscoe, it's fun. I'm

54:42

going above deck. Goodbye. I'll,

54:44

uh, Ravina, I'll get him

54:46

up. So you can go

54:48

up. But when you split

54:51

off, you end up forgetting

54:53

and you just go fishing.

54:55

No, no, no. Okay. I'll

54:57

get him. Let's go up

54:59

the other stairs anyway. So,

55:01

okay. So they're going up

55:03

the back the aft stairs

55:06

and I'll go back up

55:08

and knock on mo's room

55:10

and Okay, yeah, you're able

55:12

to wake them up and

55:14

explain what's going on and

55:16

they Follow you without question

55:19

I'm gonna go up over

55:21

here on the like closer

55:23

to the front of the

55:25

ship Okay, looking for will

55:27

all right so My heart

55:29

was already palpitating before and

55:32

I've been sitting here nervous

55:34

as fuck. It's the coffee.

55:36

What? It's the coffee. Yeah,

55:38

it's the coffee. From 1

55:40

p.m. today. So you get

55:42

up on deck, Will, and

55:45

you immediately notice at the

55:47

very back of the ship.

55:49

It's bright out this the

55:51

moon is full the are

55:53

out so you can easily

55:55

see and make your way

55:58

around. The rear of the

56:00

ship floating just a few

56:02

feet past the railing. You

56:04

see what as far as

56:06

you can tell appears to

56:08

be a figure just hovering

56:11

in midair. It almost looks

56:13

like they're floating as if

56:15

they were underwater but they're...

56:17

There's no water there, they're

56:19

just up in the middle

56:21

of nothing. Their back is

56:23

to you, and they appear

56:26

to be wearing the traditional,

56:28

in quotes, robes of the

56:30

gods Albertio. Mm. Okay, but

56:32

and there's nobody up here

56:34

am I by myself? Yeah,

56:36

I come out and it's

56:39

but it's bright It's not

56:41

it's you know, it's not

56:43

daylight, but yeah, it's it's

56:45

okay like I feel like

56:47

if I were coming out

56:49

of the stairs Well, I

56:52

don't know if I could

56:54

have seen it where from

56:56

where I come out I

56:58

feel like I would back

57:00

up like into the back

57:02

into like hopefully that thing

57:05

didn't see me because I

57:07

mean like poke your head

57:09

up out of like kind

57:11

of the hatch and look

57:13

around and then see it

57:15

floating back there and then

57:18

maybe duck back down. Yeah

57:20

that's what I mean yeah

57:22

however that the stairs work

57:24

yeah I don't know how

57:26

stairs work sometimes they go

57:28

up yeah so many different

57:31

types and you hear this

57:33

you hear with your ears

57:35

oh jeez come on don't

57:37

be afraid And

57:41

he doesn't, but he

57:43

doesn't turn. Not yet.

57:46

Oh my god. I've

57:48

always, you know I've

57:50

always said you're too

57:52

afraid. Is that something

57:55

I recognize? Yeah. Okay,

57:57

okay. I look around

57:59

and I step out

58:02

of the stairs. Okay.

58:04

Up? Okay. Once you

58:06

get fully on deck,

58:09

the figure kind of

58:11

slowly turns around and

58:13

they appear just like

58:15

they did in the

58:18

woods to you a

58:20

number of weeks ago.

58:22

It does appear to

58:25

be. Eldon dressed in

58:27

the robes of Zalbertia.

58:29

The hood is down

58:31

and yeah he's fully

58:34

illuminated in the in

58:36

the moonlight. And he's

58:38

floating? Yeah. Oh my

58:41

god. And he sees

58:43

you and his face

58:45

lights up. This is

58:48

like... This reminds me

58:50

of what happened in

58:52

Barovia like when... Like

58:54

when Jose what was

58:57

his character? Oh yeah

58:59

saw the like his

59:01

goran wife or something

59:06

got close and it

59:08

was a zombie or

59:11

59:13

zombie? I can't remember.

59:15

Any smiles you say?

59:17

59:31

a smile. Oh my god.

59:33

Oh like he's real. Yeah,

59:35

1:00:12

the middle of the night?

1:00:14

I know, I know. Just,

1:00:17

1:00:19

don't have to shout at

1:00:21

each other. You're going to

1:00:24

1:00:26

Because I think I'm hallucinating

1:00:28

above the ship and... You

1:00:31

haven't seen me in years

1:00:33

and yes I know. Okay

1:00:35

1:00:58

real god is here all

1:01:00

1:01:03

just because I feel like

1:01:05

I'm hallucinating. This is yeah,

1:01:07

no, I'm embarrassed to be

1:01:10

talking to the sky is

1:01:12

what Will is thinking either

1:01:14

hallucination or it's Juliet Russia.

1:01:16

Juliet Russia can fly. Are

1:01:19

you fucking Juliet Russia Russia?

1:01:21

Does does this seem like

1:01:23

a Juliet Russia type of

1:01:26

thing to do? I don't

1:01:28

know. I barely know who

1:01:30

she is. You know who

1:01:32

I am. You're a ghost!

1:01:35

You're... or something! I don't...

1:01:37

What the hell is happening?

1:01:39

Look, forget about the Zoberia

1:01:42

stuff. That's just how I

1:01:44

can... What? Be here with

1:01:46

you right now. What the

1:01:48

fuck? Are you talking about?

1:01:51

So you're not Zoberia. You

1:01:53

are Zoberia? And... Shh! As

1:01:55

a result, Zoberia... Zoberia... Cool.

1:01:58

I always knew I had

1:02:00

powers like that. Well, you've

1:02:02

come across a lot of

1:02:05

powers you didn't realize you

1:02:07

had. No, okay. All right.

1:02:09

What does this mean? Okay.

1:02:11

He's like frozen. He's like,

1:02:13

only his eyes are moving

1:02:15

and his mouth. Okay. So,

1:02:17

please come here. He reaches

1:02:19

out of hand. He's not,

1:02:21

he's not like running over.

1:02:23

He's like, I understand. So,

1:02:26

you, so talk. Why? What

1:02:28

is happening here? Well, so.

1:02:30

I am Zalberia. Yeah. I'm

1:02:32

the god of forgiveness, right?

1:02:34

Cool. So, I mean, I

1:02:36

could easily forgive you. I

1:02:38

think you already did in

1:02:40

the woods. It was weird.

1:02:42

And I thought that was

1:02:44

kind of a dream. And

1:02:47

now this is happening again.

1:02:49

I did forgive you. I

1:02:51

do forgive you. Okay. Well,

1:02:53

no. Yes. Okay. By this

1:02:55

point, guys, by the way.

1:02:57

He shakes his head. You've

1:02:59

come up. We've arrived. Yeah,

1:03:01

you're all behind Will. I

1:03:03

can't take any notes. And

1:03:05

you're able to witness all

1:03:08

of this. But you have

1:03:10

to forgive yourself. You have

1:03:12

to. You have to. You

1:03:14

have to. Okay. Thanks, Ghost

1:03:16

Burdia. I am going to

1:03:18

go get medicine. Yeah? I

1:03:20

need to go get some.

1:03:22

Yes. What? Stop that face.

1:03:24

Yeah? You're becoming the knife

1:03:27

hag I always called you.

1:03:29

Okay, cool. Yeah, I probably

1:03:31

look like that. Yeah, you

1:03:33

do a little bit. Thanks.

1:03:35

Listen. Uh-huh. Just stop for

1:03:37

a second. Mm-hmm. Stop. I

1:03:39

have stopped. Not coming, you

1:03:41

want me to go over

1:03:43

there? Now you want me

1:03:45

to stop. Just go, what's

1:03:48

the point? Get to the

1:03:50

point. What is going on?

1:03:52

What is going on? Okay.

1:03:54

Okay. You

1:03:56

are good. You've

1:04:01

shown you're good. You've

1:04:03

always had this belief

1:04:06

in you, whether it's

1:04:08

something you've spoken or

1:04:10

something you've just felt

1:04:12

and kept within, that

1:04:14

you were somehow lesser

1:04:16

in some cosmic or

1:04:19

moral or some judgment.

1:04:21

way, but you are

1:04:23

not bad. You were

1:04:25

never bad. Yes, you've

1:04:27

made mistakes. But just

1:04:30

look back on the

1:04:32

past few weeks even.

1:04:34

You are good to

1:04:36

your friends. Who would

1:04:38

that be? What are

1:04:41

you talking about? Stop

1:04:43

looking into my life.

1:04:45

How dare you? Who

1:04:47

are you? Who are

1:04:49

you talking about? How

1:04:51

dare you? Who are

1:04:54

you? I think I

1:04:56

he has stepped 10

1:04:58

feet closer he had

1:05:00

just without realizing it

1:05:02

because he's like this

1:05:05

is and you can

1:05:07

see like his face

1:05:09

even more clearly now

1:05:11

it's completely how you

1:05:13

remember it remember those

1:05:16

eyes that you saw

1:05:18

in Nars mine they

1:05:20

are okay when faced

1:05:22

with you've had so

1:05:24

many recent dilemmas and

1:05:27

choices where you've considered

1:05:29

and chosen them over

1:05:31

options you would have

1:05:33

chosen in the past

1:05:35

right well we have

1:05:37

to do shit together

1:05:40

everything has been telling

1:05:42

me as a group

1:05:44

we must do these

1:05:46

things you're making it

1:05:48

all about yeah of

1:05:51

course right you're more

1:05:53

than the circumstances you're

1:05:55

in you're more than

1:05:57

your fear You have

1:05:59

this these these these

1:06:02

categories these boxes that

1:06:04

you place yourself

1:06:06

and you are will you

1:06:09

are not a murderer

1:06:11

yes I am you

1:06:13

all right you must

1:06:16

be Juliet Roger because

1:06:18

you have made choices

1:06:21

but that doesn't

1:06:23

define who you are I

1:06:25

think it might this

1:06:28

built up Confidence

1:06:31

show that you have

1:06:33

it? It's not you.

1:06:36

You know very well

1:06:38

it is me. No, it's

1:06:41

not. It's fake. I

1:06:43

know. Okay, what do

1:06:45

you want? What do

1:06:48

you want? What is

1:06:50

it? Well, I told

1:06:52

you. You need you

1:06:54

to forgive yourself.

1:06:57

Sure. Okay. Listen,

1:06:59

you beat you, like the

1:07:02

you that you are. I

1:07:04

am. No, you're not. Think

1:07:07

of, think of, think

1:07:09

about Ambrose. Remember

1:07:11

you telling me

1:07:14

about him teasing

1:07:16

you about being

1:07:18

soft? Is this the...

1:07:20

Cruise ship of ex-boyfriend

1:07:22

situation? This is like the worst.

1:07:24

You remember that, right? Yeah, I

1:07:26

remember that. He's close. He's probably

1:07:28

just, yeah, like, I mean, if

1:07:30

he's like this, it feels like

1:07:33

this, it feels natural, this conversation.

1:07:35

Yeah. Is this, can I roll an

1:07:37

insight or something? I know, like, but

1:07:39

I feel really stupid for making

1:07:41

that decision. My voice just broke,

1:07:43

because I'm so nervous. Should I

1:07:45

roll an insight roll? Like, is

1:07:47

this, it feels real. Are

1:07:52

the rest of you

1:07:54

just absurd like

1:07:56

are you just

1:07:59

standing? Kick is

1:08:01

gradually scooting closer

1:08:03

and closer to

1:08:06

Will like I don't

1:08:08

know what this thing is

1:08:10

sure Is Will, like, all the

1:08:12

way at the, at the back of the

1:08:15

ship? Oh yeah, I haven't moved to

1:08:17

my guy, sorry, I will move.

1:08:19

Yeah, I was just trying to

1:08:21

picture it. Yes, it's like at

1:08:23

the back, wait. This, back here

1:08:26

is where he is. I'll put

1:08:28

something there. I don't know

1:08:30

where. This alligator, which is

1:08:32

Sean Indigo's icon. It's like,

1:08:35

right, you know. There's just

1:08:37

an empty space. All right.

1:08:39

So yeah, like I'd be close.

1:08:42

Are you like within? Where's the

1:08:44

alligator though? I don't see. Oh,

1:08:46

he's down. No, no, no, sorry. It's

1:08:48

like here. You remember him

1:08:50

doing that though, right? You're,

1:08:53

you've at least told me

1:08:55

that Ambrose teasing you about

1:08:57

being soft. Uh-huh, sorry, go

1:08:59

ahead. What were you saying

1:09:01

in character? You remember that,

1:09:04

right? Like that's the thing,

1:09:06

right? Yeah, that's what. That

1:09:09

part of you is what

1:09:11

makes you better than

1:09:13

him. Oh God. That's why

1:09:16

I love you. Oh

1:09:18

my god. Like tears

1:09:20

go in Will's eyes.

1:09:22

Stop it! Oh it's okay.

1:09:25

And he like reaches

1:09:27

out to like touch

1:09:29

your cheek. Okay, like

1:09:32

just like a just

1:09:34

a caress just on

1:09:36

your cheek, maybe wipes

1:09:38

a tear away. Oh My

1:09:40

god And then he

1:09:42

reaches down and just

1:09:45

takes your hand and

1:09:47

he says you will

1:09:49

survive You will get through

1:09:51

I go up on a rung

1:09:53

Okay, it says you reject

1:09:56

help But I will

1:09:59

help your will help. I

1:10:01

don't know what you're

1:10:03

talking about. Who are

1:10:05

you? You know you can't say no

1:10:07

to me. Yeah, I know. Stop

1:10:09

it. Stop what? What are

1:10:12

you saying? What is this?

1:10:14

Where are you? Come here. Where

1:10:16

are you? Where are you?

1:10:18

He grabs the the front

1:10:20

of your shirt and leans

1:10:23

in and kisses you.

1:10:25

Okay, I kiss him

1:10:27

back. Okay, and it

1:10:30

doesn't feel like a

1:10:32

weird demon mouth or

1:10:34

anything like that. It

1:10:36

feels like kissing Eldon.

1:10:39

Oh, okay, okay. Refine

1:10:41

is vibrating. Oh, what

1:10:44

the bug? No, that's

1:10:46

the box that you

1:10:48

got from Gwen that

1:10:50

she got in that

1:10:52

store. Oh. I thought

1:10:54

it was never going

1:10:57

to end. Yeah. And

1:10:59

he says, we'll see

1:11:01

each other soon. What

1:11:04

the fuck? Wait,

1:11:06

he stops kissing

1:11:08

me? I thought

1:11:10

it was never

1:11:12

going to end. Yeah.

1:11:15

And, um, give me

1:11:17

a dexterity

1:11:19

saving throw. It's

1:11:22

Juliet Russia, she

1:11:24

just kissed me.

1:11:27

Um, power, word,

1:11:29

kill! Power, word,

1:11:31

kiss! Did security

1:11:33

pro, said? Yeah. you said?

1:11:36

Yeah. Did I click it?

1:11:38

A 16? Okay. So suddenly

1:11:41

he's gone. Oh. Oh. And

1:11:43

you're leaning

1:11:45

into that. Oh.

1:11:47

And you're leaning

1:11:50

into that. Oh. You

1:11:52

start to tip over the

1:11:54

side of the railing. Okay,

1:11:57

well, then I grab

1:11:59

myself. Do I not do

1:12:01

I? So you kind of go

1:12:03

halfway over and then you you

1:12:06

grab the sort of the railings

1:12:08

you're like half hanging off of

1:12:10

the the rail? Do am I

1:12:13

upside down? Do I see bathwack

1:12:15

right behind me? Yeah. I fall

1:12:17

into the water. I just let

1:12:19

myself fall in the water. That's

1:12:22

so embarrassing. I fall into the

1:12:24

water. You see bathwack and you

1:12:26

are shocked to see him so

1:12:29

close. Yeah. Probably as he's reaching

1:12:31

to save you from falling off

1:12:33

of the boat is my guess.

1:12:35

Oh my god. And you see

1:12:38

his shocked face bathwack as he

1:12:40

tumbles into the water. That's a

1:12:42

fall. A second time. Yeah. And

1:12:45

yeah, will you hit the water?

1:12:47

Scapulush. Oh my God. And we

1:12:49

never see you again. Yeah, I

1:12:52

know. I know. I know. I'm

1:12:54

gone. But with what was happening.

1:12:56

It's like you don't even feel

1:12:58

the impact, even though you'll probably

1:13:01

be bruised the next day. It's

1:13:03

like falling into like nothing and

1:13:05

you're just like weightless in the

1:13:08

water this cold night ocean water

1:13:10

It's almost like you feel like

1:13:12

the the cold fill every part

1:13:15

of you and it doesn't feel

1:13:17

bad it feels invigorating and You

1:13:19

reach up to just touch your

1:13:21

lips where you had been kissing

1:13:24

And you realize that

1:13:27

you... I'm trying to

1:13:30

think of a... Poetic

1:13:32

way to say it,

1:13:35

but it's 1149. So

1:13:38

I don't know if

1:13:40

I can. You have

1:13:43

the ability to lay

1:13:45

on hands now. You

1:13:48

have a hit point

1:13:51

pool equal to your

1:13:53

sourceer level times five.

1:13:56

I don't even know

1:13:59

what this means. Equal

1:14:01

to my sourceer level

1:14:04

times five. I don't

1:14:07

even know what this

1:14:09

means. Equal to my

1:14:12

sourceer level times five.

1:14:15

You will help me

1:14:17

with this I'm sure.

1:14:20

But the only way

1:14:22

it can be delivered

1:14:25

is via a kiss.

1:14:29

Is it to be the recipient

1:14:31

or can he give it? Either

1:14:34

way, probably. What is it he

1:14:36

has? Oh my, that's... Oh for

1:14:39

heaven's sake. I was picturing that

1:14:41

he has to deliver a kiss.

1:14:43

Oh my God. My God, nobody

1:14:46

better than you float to the

1:14:48

surface as the ship steams away

1:14:51

in the night. Okay, I just

1:14:53

float there. We're gonna find out

1:14:55

what happens next time. I float

1:14:58

there. I don't even go anywhere.

1:15:00

Holy shit. Lay on lips. Whoa,

1:15:02

lips. I'm never gonna use that

1:15:05

spell. I know. Just when everything

1:15:07

was so bleak. Wow. If only

1:15:10

I could have kissed the owl

1:15:12

bear. You still can. I don't

1:15:14

know what layout is that like

1:15:17

somebody's probably still got to be

1:15:19

alive. I don't know what lay

1:15:22

on hands means. It's healing just

1:15:24

healing you I've never had that

1:15:26

spell and maybe when I was

1:15:29

a clue my first ever D&D

1:15:31

character was a cleric I might

1:15:34

have had lay lay on hands

1:15:36

then is that a lay is

1:15:38

that a cleric spell? I know

1:15:41

it's a paladin spell wait no

1:15:43

I wasn't a paladin I was

1:15:46

a claric. Okay I'm looking it

1:15:48

up wow okay wow that's exciting

1:15:50

Nice! Oh my god. Fun, fun,

1:15:53

fun. Was that the first ever

1:15:55

kiss we've had in our game?

1:15:58

And it was by Will. Is

1:16:01

there any other kisses in

1:16:03

our game? Hmm. And Will

1:16:05

did it. That's that nature.

1:16:08

That's impossible. Okay. And everyone

1:16:10

saw that. Mm-hmm. Man, the

1:16:12

ferrets can be really jealous.

1:16:14

Oh my God, the ferrets.

1:16:16

See, I'll be like, I'm

1:16:18

an expert in kissing. You

1:16:21

saw it up there, presumably,

1:16:23

since everyone saw it. There's

1:16:25

a slow clap, the ferret.

1:16:27

What a talent show. In

1:16:30

the end, he enters the

1:16:33

scene and says, what a

1:16:35

challenge. It was a great

1:16:37

performance. Yep, it was all

1:16:40

fake. That was the script

1:16:42

I wrote, Rasko, fadum, pshh.

1:16:45

Rasko just yells out over

1:16:47

board. Now who's Randy? Yeah,

1:16:49

right. Cool, cool, cool, cool,

1:16:52

cool. Fun playing with y'all.

1:16:54

Yeah. Eric, we'll be in

1:16:57

touch. Whatever. So

1:16:59

1:17:02

1:17:07

1:17:09
