Tyram: that they felt that they could do that. So
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: yeah, but yeah, I haven't played those G. I think they still make them, but I haven't played one in a very long time
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: All
Tyram: now. My mom actually really likes playing them, too, because there's like no like
Luke Neverisky: That's
Tyram: reflexes involved. You just like solve a puzzle like in order to
Christopher Hooper: right. At your own pace.
Tyram: advance the plot.
Christopher Hooper: Nice. All right. You ready?
Tyram: Yeah. Hell
Luke Neverisky: good.
Christopher Hooper: The children have been loved. The bathroom has been filled and so have the
Justin Hale: Um,
Christopher Hooper: drinks. Ready to go. Um,
Tyram: yeah. All
Christopher Hooper: cool. So, um, all right.
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: Uh, do we want to do a quick recap of I I think probably the last two sessions.
Tyram: right.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so we get yours.
Tyram: Okay. Um, two weeks ago we went to look for Victor and we didn't find
Luke Neverisky: right.
Tyram: him. All
Justin Hale: And there we are.
Luke Neverisky: And
Tyram: right. But we did find that um there's an underground uh uh oh, I can't remember the name of the group all of a
Luke Neverisky: scene. Uh, f***. Thank
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: sudden. Um, Twilight Company. There's a Twilight Company uh base of operations under the zoo. and we uh talked our
Luke Neverisky: you.
Tyram: way into using their safe house, I think was the relevant information from that one. Um I don't want to recap my own session if somebody else wants to do last
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, last week we went to Flick Workshop, met IRA. We kicked off the uh romantic novel starring Ira. Of course, the most important outcome of that session, honestly, if I'm being
Tyram: week. I was not like going for being a heart problem with Iro, but that
Luke Neverisky: fair.
Tyram: just apparently was the undeniable
Ali Leonard: It's
Luke Neverisky: Hey, the people want what the people want, you know? Don't fight it
Christopher Hooper: See the
Ali Leonard: natural vibe.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Your initial description was not the heart throat, but then you just
Luke Neverisky: daily.
Ellis Taylor: kept describing him more like, "Yep, yep, he is
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, he was very much the cover on a romance novel as
Christopher Hooper: end.
Tyram: conclusion.
Luke Neverisky: he described it.
Christopher Hooper: Importantly for my purposes, uh Scarlet uh did some experiments um in the workshop for
Luke Neverisky: Um, that's
Ellis Taylor: now.
Christopher Hooper: um the pocket village,
Luke Neverisky: right.
Christopher Hooper: did some some blast experiments. There was an evil real estate developer that came
Tyram: Yeah, an evil real estate developer was trying to scoop up the shop, the the the oceanfront property, and uh IR ain't having
Christopher Hooper: And um apparently the real estate developer has some
Tyram: it.
Luke Neverisky: Gentlemen.
Christopher Hooper: pretty mean
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: thugs, including a like magical uh Aquaman was the final boss. Is that right?
Tyram: They were able to bring in some fiends. Yeah. To try to aid
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Themeish themedish
Tyram: in the
Christopher Hooper: uh property
Luke Neverisky: I mean, that's just a that's a Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: developers. Was there any
Tyram: thuggery. But you repeat
Christopher Hooper: was there any connection to uh Blackstone realy at
Tyram: yourself.
Ellis Taylor: Baby
Christopher Hooper: all?
Luke Neverisky: that's
Ellis Taylor: pandas.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah. I
Tyram: Nah.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Oh s***.
Christopher Hooper: I love that part of the session,
Tyram: Oh, those adorable little idiots.
Christopher Hooper: too. Um,
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: cool. So,
Tyram: Oh. Uh, Justin, relevant to you. Um, I think I told you this already, but you have been gifted
Christopher Hooper: um, right. Yeah.
Tyram: Shield's old pranking
Justin Hale: Oh yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. There were other gifts,
Justin Hale: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: too.
Tyram: kit. Um, yeah. Um, Elit and, uh, Olivia had their weapons upgraded, but no one else in the party really uses weapons. Um, and so everybody else I think got grappling
Christopher Hooper: Right. Keeping with the Spider-Man motif. Yeah. Um
Tyram: hooks. Oh, there's lots of there's lots
Luke Neverisky: Right.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: of nostalgia s*** that happened last week. But
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, and it was uh all of us but Justin, right? Justin had
Tyram: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: to you had your your Bobo stuff. Um, how are you doing? You doing
Justin Hale: Y yeah, it's been it's been a week. It's been seven days. So, it's uh I can talk about it without breaking down, so we're
Luke Neverisky: Solid progress. That's
Christopher Hooper: okay? Yeah.
Tyram: Yeah.
Justin Hale: good. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: Okay.
Justin Hale: kids
Christopher Hooper: cool. Yeah, that's the hard
Justin Hale: still. That one's
Christopher Hooper: stuff.
Justin Hale: hard. It's uh's first encounter with death, so she doesn't really get it yet. So, she's just like, "Yeah, Bibo's gone,
Luke Neverisky: good.
Justin Hale: right?" I'm like, "Yep, Bibbo's
Christopher Hooper: Um, loves learning about death. Yeah. Ever since she's
Justin Hale: gone." Sounds Sounds like Astrid.
Christopher Hooper: all frozen, she's like, "Parents died. That's a core part of the story is that the parents died." I'm like, "Yeah, that's true. We used to have a euphemism for lost
Tyram: That's true.
Christopher Hooper: at sea, but you've already figured out that that just means to die." Um, Oh, hey, cool. So, you are all at the brownstone gifted to you from the Twilight Company. Um, and you're eating breakfast and at one point Scarlet bursts into breakfast wideeyed holding a clipboard covered in equations. She says overnight the the the pocket village uh prototype has started behaving strangely. um uh I'm able to start to stabilize um the the uh interdimensional space and it started to generate things inside uh weather, terrain, uh it's it's very odd. Um it's beyond any of the calibrations that I should be able to do um in the lab. Hills are forming, streams are appearing. It's it's very odd. Um there is uh a sky that feels way too close. Um it's very odd. It's very odd. And um I was wondering, are we planning to to meet with Victor today? I could really use uh that lab that he had cuz I think um he could help with some of the calibrations here. I'm worried because
Tyram: Oh. Oh, Scarlet, have you met
Christopher Hooper: uh yes yes he's personally unhelpful but I believe he has the faculties that we
Tyram: Victor? Yeah. I mean, wanting Victor's help with
Christopher Hooper: need.
Tyram: anything is just the most foolish thing I've ever heard in my
Christopher Hooper: I know. I
Tyram: life. He has something that we want. I personally want to I would pickpocket it from him before I actually
Luke Neverisky: Now he's just a little extension. It's
Tyram: talk to him if I get the
Ali Leonard: I
Luke Neverisky: fine. He's
Tyram: chance. Victor
Christopher Hooper: know.
Tyram: sucks. Did you not hear uh them describe how he ate that deep dish hot dog? Did that not unnerve
Luke Neverisky: cookie. I'm not going to yuck someone's yum until I
Christopher Hooper: Um
Tyram: you to your
Luke Neverisky: try
Tyram: core?
Justin Hale: It usually doesn't bother me, but the man may a hot dog for
Luke Neverisky: it. It is a long
Justin Hale: 45 minutes, it's a little weird.
Luke Neverisky: time. Well, still if he has a lab, then we should just we just ask him
Tyram: I mean, we we got to go see Victor today. Yes. To answer your
Christopher Hooper: Okay. All right. Well, um if after you're done with whatever you want to do with him, um I I'd like his help stabilizing the the the pocket village. Uh I'm also
Tyram: question.
Luke Neverisky: nicely.
Christopher Hooper: um something about when you came to the workshop. Um something I had never seen and I uh have written in my notes and tracked uh when it happens and it seems to be Silus when you're nearby. And so I'm very concerned about that. Um, seems very odd. Um, anyway, something to look out for. I think uh once we connect with Victor, he he could probably uh use our his lab to help me um maybe get some more sensors and things to to to measure exactly what's going
Tyram: I feel like we're breezing right past the part where
Christopher Hooper: on.
Tyram: like me being around stuff is making s*** like explode. What the
Luke Neverisky: You're just so magnetic. It's your
Tyram: hell?
Christopher Hooper: I can show you the I can show you the measurements and
Tyram: That's probably
Luke Neverisky: personality.
Christopher Hooper: experiments, but I think I don't think you'd understand it.
Tyram: true. Okay. Well, that's a little rude, but Oh,
Christopher Hooper: Oh, I'm sorry. I because most people wouldn't understand it. Even smart people. You're
Tyram: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: intelligent in different ways.
Tyram: I like you better when you were just like in the van all the
Christopher Hooper: All right. Well, um, when are we meeting, Victor? I I'd really like to get on this. I've been working on this thing for
[00:10:00]
Tyram: time. Well, what time does he We got a pretty robust itinerary for his zoo schedule. Like, what time does he get
Luke Neverisky: I
Tyram: there again?
Luke Neverisky: don't I got lost in the story of hot
Christopher Hooper: weeks. Hot dog
Luke Neverisky: dog must have been lunch. That's right. So actually hot dog was
Christopher Hooper: lunch,
Luke Neverisky: a relevant relevant
Christopher Hooper: right? You say I don't help you, but I leave you the full
Tyram: Um
Luke Neverisky: topic.
Christopher Hooper: full thread ahead of
Tyram: um I I as a player don't remember um what time uh we said Victor got there. Can I like
Christopher Hooper: you. Oh, lunchtime. He goes
Tyram: silence roll to see if he
Christopher Hooper: at lunchtime. Yeah, it's a late
Tyram: remembers? What time is it now? He said
Christopher Hooper: morning. Um, we'll say uh breakfast happens
Tyram: morning.
Christopher Hooper: like on a rooftop garden. Um, so you can actually see the victor or you can actually see the
Luke Neverisky: Listen.
Christopher Hooper: zoo um like pretty fully from your
Tyram: Do we have like uh can we see the spot where he gets lunch specifically or like that spot
Christopher Hooper: rooftop. Yeah, you can
Tyram: where he sits on the bench?
Christopher Hooper: um you can Yeah.

Ali Leonard: It's her alter
Justin Hale: way. Is that your Is that your grayboard
Luke Neverisky: Okay. Hey
Ali Leonard: ego. It's my disguise, isn't
Justin Hale: cover? I feel like it's
Tyram: British. Throwing
Ali Leonard: it?
Justin Hale: not helpful to have a disguise halfway through being in the place.
Tyram: the indie in it at the end really sealed
Ali Leonard: I just thought of it. I'm also not changing my
Tyram: it.
Ali Leonard: appearance. It's just the
Justin Hale: So it's just your
Tyram: That sounds pretty foolproof.
Ali Leonard: voice. I feel like I have a very distinctive
Tyram: Like people be like, "Hey, isn't that Ellsworth Cooper?" There's no way. She wasn't
Ali Leonard: voice. And he
Tyram: British. Didn't you hear her say in
Ali Leonard: go I

Luke Neverisky: Uh, we should make a
Christopher Hooper: Right.
Tyram: forward. If we don't,
Ali Leonard: audio book?
Tyram: would we be able to work in the picture of Iro on the front on an audio book? Because I feel like that's the big selling point
Ali Leonard: See, the thing is though, can we
Tyram: here.
Ali Leonard: make it so that it does a hologram of
Luke Neverisky: faith. All right.
Ellis Taylor: Oo.
Ali Leonard: him?
Justin Hale: graphic. It's got to be
Luke Neverisky: little minor illusions. Maybe we start with
Ali Leonard: Technology. That's really expensive. That's like That's like
Justin Hale: graphical.
Luke Neverisky: the books or limited release of that for a really
Tyram: Oh,
Ali Leonard: VIP. Yeah, like a graphic
Christopher Hooper: Private private
Tyram: yeah. We need to we need to look at what production cost would be here.
Ali Leonard: novel.
Christopher Hooper: showing private showing of Iro erotica.
Tyram: Not erotica
Ali Leonard: It's
Luke Neverisky: good
Christopher Hooper: Interesting.
Tyram: romance. Okay. But
Justin Hale: You can call it smut if you want. That's fine,
Luke Neverisky: obviously
Tyram: yeah, I mean, while we're uh I feel like while we're sitting here on Lookout,

Ali Leonard: Power of the moon. kind of c****
Luke Neverisky: plan. Yeah.
Tyram: Oh, both in the show
Ali Leonard: a little bit, you know. It's really
Tyram: and in the novel. I think we should work in calling Eldora Smell Dora. That'll start taking her down real
Luke Neverisky: That
Ali Leonard: great. Well, let's let's try it and
Luke Neverisky: looks we can just drop it in there and say
Ellis Taylor: like. That's what
Tyram: fast.
Ali Leonard: see if it
Luke Neverisky: oops is a typo. But if it really works
Tyram: Well, hey, I mean, you guys are the

Luke Neverisky: then
Christopher Hooper: I agree.
Luke Neverisky: well
Ellis Taylor: usually
Christopher Hooper: Um
Luke Neverisky: um uh I guess with that um Liliana will
Christopher Hooper: yeah, go ahead. Oh

Justin Hale: Silus
Christopher Hooper: area.
Ali Leonard: Rude. I mean, what if I want to find out how to stay away from local races in my
Christopher Hooper: Well, you could look at a classifides and then

Ali Leonard: gives us a chance to observe
Tyram: Martha,
Ali Leonard: the traffic. I've got down
Christopher Hooper: garden? I imagine that there is an
Tyram: you're
Ali Leonard: I'm
Luke Neverisky: Mut definitely It
Ellis Taylor: I'm imagining kind of like a mansered roof
Christopher Hooper: arch.
Tyram: muted. Actually, I do there's like
Ellis Taylor: type deal where there's like a little like sloped roof coming down
Tyram: a
Ellis Taylor: and there's a door portal coming out and then it's like a little uh patio area right at the roof edge.
Tyram: is when you have like the those like a wooden like where like the plants grow up and like there's like
Luke Neverisky: is a you have a
Ellis Taylor: No. Are
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Are they
Tyram: a roof like a canopy above is that like is that a terrace? I don't think so.
Luke Neverisky: trellis the
Ellis Taylor: you talking about a pergola or something like
Christopher Hooper: going
Tyram: Right. Maybe. I don't I don't know the name of
Luke Neverisky: pergola.
Tyram: it. But I like to imagine there's like one of those there's like some hanging flowers like uh above. We're probably I'm assuming it's probably just like a picnic table like
Ellis Taylor: that?
Christopher Hooper: could be. Yeah.
Tyram: that we're sitting
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Picnic table. That's exactly what I had in mind, Taylor, was a pergola with
Ellis Taylor: I
Christopher Hooper: like flowers hanging down. Yeah. Greenery growing
Tyram: at. Hell
Ellis Taylor: thought
Christopher Hooper: in vines of jasmine like hanging through.
Luke Neverisky: Well, I was honestly I was going
Ellis Taylor: it
Christopher Hooper: Um, what about you, Luke? What you got?
Luke Neverisky: to say a per um because
Ellis Taylor: me
Luke Neverisky: that's that's how I want real life in my house.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: yeah. It just feels right, you know.
Luke Neverisky: Um um I'm gonna say
Ellis Taylor: destroy.
Tyram: Oh s***, we got Luke on a home
Luke Neverisky: Uh it's on the to-do list for
Tyram: improvement
Luke Neverisky: years. Um uh there's I mean there's just flower beds abound too. So like um yeah just coming out they kind of form almost
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: like natural walkways um coming out of the out of the door into the various
Tyram: kick.
Luke Neverisky: tables area. Lot of flower
Justin Hale: Did we already say
Luke Neverisky: beds. We did not
Ellis Taylor: There's a Big
Justin Hale: fire pit?
Ellis Taylor: rooftop
Justin Hale: Forgot they have a fire
Tyram: What um what season are we in? Is it like a springish
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I've been following
Tyram: like it is in real
Ellis Taylor: patio.
Christopher Hooper: our time for time.
Tyram: life? Okay. I figure we're probably not using a fire pit at this time then.
Justin Hale: pit. Fire pits are good
Luke Neverisky: That's
Ellis Taylor: Here we go. I found a good
Justin Hale: all the time. What are you even talking about? It's a fire. It's appropriate at all times of the
Ellis Taylor: picture. Where is
Christopher Hooper: Give it to
Luke Neverisky: true.
Ellis Taylor: Discord?
Christopher Hooper: me. Show me the
Justin Hale: year. I'm also
Ellis Taylor: That's not what I
Christopher Hooper: Discord.
Justin Hale: definitely not going to throw fireworks into
Luke Neverisky: I'll still eat there. I hang out
Ellis Taylor: wanted. I copy the wrong
Christopher Hooper: Okay, that is
Justin Hale: it.
Luke Neverisky: there.
[00:20:00]
Christopher Hooper: pretty. Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Ellis Taylor: picture.
Christopher Hooper: Ain't those like the last rock uh
Ellis Taylor: I tell you the truth.
Christopher Hooper: gas um plane pits or whatever? Fire pits. Um cool. Yeah. So, uh, you all hang out there until, um, right around, uh, 12:59, you see a line forming and,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: um, at the zoo, uh, well, it's it's been forming, but you start
Luke Neverisky: Heat.
Ellis Taylor: See, wait. 12 like noon.
Christopher Hooper: paying attention because it's around the time
Ellis Taylor: Noon. Why is it open so late? Noon
Justin Hale: No
Ellis Taylor: o'clock. It's
Christopher Hooper: that Why is the zoo open at noon?
Ellis Taylor: so late. I thought I could have sworn into my notes
Christopher Hooper: It's just
Ellis Taylor: that
Justin Hale: club. All
Ellis Taylor: uh he was going to be in there in the
Christopher Hooper: noon. Sorry. What I what I meant was there was already
Luke Neverisky: Fantasy.
Ellis Taylor: morning.
Christopher Hooper: a line and you started paying attention at noon because that's when lunch is. If that's what you're talking
Ellis Taylor: Oh, Victor delivers hot dogs at
Christopher Hooper: getting hung up on.
Tyram: So, we must get
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: the hot dog before that because he has to eat his own hot dog for 45
Justin Hale: right.
Christopher Hooper: Um that's
Tyram: minutes uh before he delivers the hot
Ellis Taylor: 12:30.
Christopher Hooper: true. Yeah. So, uh we'll say we'll say you start looking
Tyram: dog.
Christopher Hooper: at 11. Um and the three of you,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Good day. Good
Christopher Hooper: why don't you give me a perception check?
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Is that
Luke Neverisky: day. You're the black. I'm
Ellis Taylor: me? No, that can't be me. That was
Luke Neverisky: the
Ellis Taylor: Liliana. It still didn't show up for me. I'm going to refresh D and
Christopher Hooper: What did you call
Tyram: Uh
Ellis Taylor: D Beyond because it's still not showing up for me.
Christopher Hooper: me? All right, I got a
Ellis Taylor: There I
Christopher Hooper: seven for
Tyram: 16. Oh uh
Christopher Hooper: Liliano and two for
Tyram: 16. I can boost that if you need me
Ellis Taylor: am.
Christopher Hooper: Olivia. and
Tyram: to.
Christopher Hooper: a 16 for uh for Silus. Okay, Silus.
Tyram: I can boost that if you if it makes a
Christopher Hooper: Um I if you want to, we'll use
Ellis Taylor: Yay.
Christopher Hooper: that same role uh going
Tyram: difference.
Christopher Hooper: forward. 22. Okay,
Tyram: Okay. Uh 22
Christopher Hooper: great. So, uh yes. Um you uh you eventually see someone in a uh in a trench coat and a fedora that looks has the striking um it it was the gate that really tipped you off. um the height, the gate, uh probably, you know, looks like any other guy who shows up to a zoo in a trench coat and fedora, but it's uh really the tailtale signs that this is Victor. He gets in line and waits to buy his ticket at roughly 11:00 a.m. or I guess if we're counting backwards, 10:30 a.m. Um, and he waits in line patiently and he barely says a word with a ticket counter
Ellis Taylor: pack
Christopher Hooper: before buying a ticket to the zoo. We're able to trace his movement through the zoo gate showing his ticket to the zoo admittance um counter and he enters the zoo at which point there's another figure hot on his tail. It's one of the security
Ellis Taylor: Don't look
Christopher Hooper: guards, Travis.
Tyram: The person in the trench coat there is somehow annoying the s*** out of
Luke Neverisky: Travis, that must be
Ellis Taylor: angle.
Tyram: me. That has to be
Luke Neverisky: Victor.
Christopher Hooper: At this point,
Tyram: Victor. All
Christopher Hooper: uh, Victor goes to the food court where there's tons of people, and you wouldn't be able to track him if it weren't for your 22
Tyram: right. Okay. Um,
Christopher Hooper: perception.
Tyram: okay, guys. We need to get on his tail
Ellis Taylor: What? On who? What?
Tyram: here. Should I stay here and like Should I stay here and keep my eyes on him and just be in like psychic communication
Luke Neverisky: Right. Oh, that's smart. That's
Tyram: with him?
Luke Neverisky: smart.
Tyram: I can get into the zoo basically anytime I want. So yeah, I'll just I'll catch
Ellis Taylor: What? Do you have like a free pass?
Tyram: up to you guys if you need me to. No, I'm going to
Ellis Taylor: What? Silus. This
Tyram: sneak in. It's a
Luke Neverisky: All
Ellis Taylor: is a
Tyram: copper. I'll just I'll drop off a copper
Ellis Taylor: nonprofit. You
Tyram: on the way out. It they'll be

Christopher Hooper: confused.
Tyram: 28 one on this. Damn

Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: see Brew wearing very odd-fitting
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: clothing um with a mysterious stranger
Ali Leonard: You
Christopher Hooper: who is very well-dressed, but then you uh use your psychic abilities to pull her glasses off

Tyram: Holy hell, you guys look fly as
Justin Hale: right. Thank you. I mean, who are
Christopher Hooper: Um
Ali Leonard: Meow. Do
Tyram: hell, bro. Don't. But
Ali Leonard: it.
Justin Hale: you? That is not I am not brew. Can't you tell by my fancy top hat? I'm clearly a different
Tyram: yeah. Oh, well then I guess you won't mind if I go to Brew's
Christopher Hooper: um
Tyram: room and throw out all his
Justin Hale: person. I don't know who this brew person is, but that sounds like it would be a cardinal
Tyram: brown. Only Brew would care about Brown. It's you, Brew. Oh, but anyway,
Justin Hale: sin.
Tyram: um, yeah, you guys look dope. Yeah, great. Great.
Ali Leonard: We did a couple
Tyram: Uh, oh, I can tell that is a that is a
Ali Leonard: montages.
Tyram: montageworthy drip you got going on there. But
Ali Leonard: is
Tyram: anyway, um, the rest of the party has just uh caught up to Victor, so we should probably get down to the zoo and uh, see what's what. I was just going to teleport in. Um, I don't know if you guys want to like not
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Ellis Taylor: You can
Christopher Hooper: Yes. Sit down.
Tyram: wait in a long ass line. It's up to
Ellis Taylor: teleport.

Ali Leonard: very He can teleport. I can misty step, but I feel like might get
Ellis Taylor: What do you
Tyram: It's teleported several times. You've seen me
Ali Leonard: caught. Yeah, especially in the
Ellis Taylor: think? What the is there such thing as like magical I don't know forest fields would keep people from teleporting in Missy step into places and is the zoo a place that would have that set
Tyram: teleport. I feel like that'd be pretty
Luke Neverisky: for a
Ellis Taylor: up. That's
Tyram: expensive to try to use on a
Luke Neverisky: nonprofit.
Ellis Taylor: fair.
Christopher Hooper: that comes a copper to
Tyram: zoo.
Ali Leonard: race.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, they need that
Christopher Hooper: enter. But we'll find
Tyram: This is more a matter
Ellis Taylor: copper. Olivia's
Tyram: of saving time than saving money. So
Ellis Taylor: gonna say down the psychic cone.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Silus, if you teleport in here, we're donating a gold
Christopher Hooper: out
[00:50:00]
Tyram: yeah. Oh no, that's 100 times the
Luke Neverisky: That's the thing
Ellis Taylor: each.
Tyram: price. s***.
Ali Leonard: I mean, I'll stand in line, but I might just look too cool for them to want to have me stand in
Tyram: You're right. We should lean into that. Oh, okay.
Ali Leonard: line and think that I'm
Luke Neverisky: Mark.
Tyram: We're Okay, we're doing this. We're We will not screw over the zoo. We're going to screw
Ali Leonard: VIP.
Tyram: over the people waiting in line. Let's go,
Ali Leonard: As long as
Tyram: team. Oh, I got
Ali Leonard: I don't have to say
Justin Hale: Just use just use your British

Tyram: Whoa. Where did Elmith go?
Ellis Taylor: We thought we
Ali Leonard: accent. Who is this
Justin Hale: mind.
Tyram: Crazy. Okay. Uh, do we we want
Ali Leonard: fraud?
Ellis Taylor: lost.
Christopher Hooper: Um
Tyram: to continue with our chicainery or we switching
Ellis Taylor: Never, Taylor. We want nothing to
Christopher Hooper: um so y'all y'all are getting in the in the zoo ticket
Luke Neverisky: next.
Ellis Taylor: happen.
Christopher Hooper: line, right? Okay. Okay,
Tyram: over? We're heading over to the new ticket line.
Ellis Taylor: Really?
Christopher Hooper: cool. Um, you get into the zoo ticket
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: line. Um, still in your incredible wear. At this point, um, you hear
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Wow. What happened to the
Christopher Hooper: a shriek from the cloud, from the crowd,
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Oh, f***.
Ellis Taylor: baby?
Christopher Hooper: and it's at this point someone points at you and says, "Oh my god, is that Bellith Booper?"
Ellis Taylor: Baby.
Christopher Hooper: Oh my god, the
Tyram: You have used this aliens
Ali Leonard: f***. How is
Tyram: before. What the f***?
Ali Leonard: my How is my fake alias more famous than my real
Ellis Taylor: I'm
Christopher Hooper: famous It's the famous B1 racist. Oh, I knew she'd be here. She put that classified ad. said she'd be at the zoo right after lunchtime and
Tyram: What
Ali Leonard: one? Hi. Do you
Justin Hale: What? Why did you do this?
Ali Leonard: have I love you
Ellis Taylor: bouncing.
Christopher Hooper: then
Tyram: what the f*** is going on? Oh, I'm going to try to Okay, I'm going to try
Ali Leonard: doing
Tyram: to I'm going to try to diffuse the situation. I say to the person, "You're
Christopher Hooper: um Oh
Tyram: mistaken." And that's it.
Christopher Hooper: no. Everyone let this person through. They're a VIP. That's right. VIP.
Tyram: Oh, yep. Let's get
Ali Leonard: that. I pull my hat down even further over my face
Ellis Taylor: Oh,
Tyram: going.
Ali Leonard: somehow. I make it into a bucket
Ellis Taylor: stitch.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. All right.
Tyram: Well, don't ruin the
Christopher Hooper: Um, hey, Dimmitri, I'm going to need a Disney Bast Pass here for this group here. We're going to give them the
Ellis Taylor: Well,
Christopher Hooper: best zoo experience we can. Okay. Um, has Victor cleaned out the hot dogs yet or can we get a luxury a luxury
Ali Leonard: hat.
Christopher Hooper: uh uh meal deal for them? This is Belith Booper. Oh, I don't know who that is, but uh
Ali Leonard: Also
Ellis Taylor: that
Justin Hale: It's like your worst,
Christopher Hooper: Okay,
Luke Neverisky: Let's
Justin Hale: too.
Tyram: I don't know what's going on, but it's working in our favor. So, let's
Ali Leonard: Cooper. Yeah. I don't know what I did. I do one montage and look what
Ellis Taylor: Baby all the
Christopher Hooper: so
Tyram: just You can't use montages
Ali Leonard: happens.
Ellis Taylor: pandas doing all the
Christopher Hooper: I don't know who that is, but they are really fancy and they
Tyram: irresponsibly.
Luke Neverisky: see.
Ellis Taylor: pandas
Christopher Hooper: look really great. So that sounds fine to me. Uh it's still going to be a silver for each uh Disney bass pass. So um so who's going to pay for that? Oh. Oh, don't worry. I got I got this bell stuck. Um and and pays your your best pass. Um, can you skip the line? Head right in.
Tyram: Do we
Ali Leonard: Get out
Christopher Hooper: Um, um,
Tyram: recognize the person who's giving us the bass
Ali Leonard: everyone.
Christopher Hooper: if you want, you can give me a history
Ali Leonard: I gotta look and
Tyram: pass? I'm not good at
Ali Leonard: see what this poster was that apparently
Christopher Hooper: check.
Tyram: this. I rolled a 19. So that's an
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Oh, because you have a negative
Tyram: 18.
Ali Leonard: posted. I didn't roll
Christopher Hooper: one. I was very
Tyram: I have a negative one. I I'm not I I'm
Ali Leonard: out. I
Christopher Hooper: confused by what you said.
Tyram: not I'm not books smart.
Ali Leonard: rolled a 13.
Christopher Hooper: 13. Uh yeah, you you're not sure who this is.
Tyram: Silus. I'm
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: not going to question
Christopher Hooper: and she takes you uh you're you there's this like
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: um velvet roped area and she takes you through this and it goes right into this back um area of the food court where there's fans like misting fans and um lots of free iced water. Um, and you see that there is a vendor that is serving um these like meal deals on trays. Um, and they're current the the the stall is currently arguing with someone who wants a hot dog with their meal deal and he's like, "Sorry, I'm out. Uh, I can make a deep dish, but we're all out of the regular buns." Um, he says, "I don't want deep dish. That's disgusting." like I'm sorry lady. Um and he says, "We got chili. You want some chili?" She's like, "Fine, I'll take the chili." Um and she gets a tray of an apple, a chili, and a glass of milk. And uh that's what it seems like that the meal deal is. Um we're going to jump over to uh the group tailing Victor. And uh you are following Victor um to the Chimera exhibit. Um go ahead and give me if you want uh and Ellis if you want I can have Luke just roll for the two of you. Um a stealth check if you're being stealthy or an athletics check if you're
Ellis Taylor: That's going to be
Christopher Hooper: not. Okay. Go
Ellis Taylor: athletics all the way. I think I can push the
Christopher Hooper: ahead. Okay. So, one of you is being
Luke Neverisky: stuff.
Ellis Taylor: button. I might be close enough. Come
Christopher Hooper: athletic and one of you is being stealthy. That'll be
Ellis Taylor: on.
Christopher Hooper: interesting.
Ellis Taylor: Aha. doing? What's the chicken
Christopher Hooper: 22 and 12.
Luke Neverisky: At least we're on
Ellis Taylor: doing? Yeah. It's out.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so at one point, um, Liliana is like, uh, all right, like like let's let's tail him,
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: but be careful. And Elsa just throws you over her shoulder and starts barging through the crowds and catches up to Victor. Uh, and uh, kind of jogging along the way. Uh uh Liliana, you see um you're kind of like upside down uh draped over Ellsworth's um shoulder. Um and Victor's like, "Hello,
Luke Neverisky: Hey Victor, how's your hot
Christopher Hooper: hello. It was delicious." Do you
Luke Neverisky: dog? No, no, thank
Christopher Hooper: want one? I've got extra.
Luke Neverisky: you. I don't really go for hot dogs too much, but how's your
Christopher Hooper: It's good. Just the uh usual lunch
Luke Neverisky: day?
Christopher Hooper: break. Um yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Oh no, late
Christopher Hooper: Have you gotten lunch
Luke Neverisky: breakfast. Uh, while I'm stalling, um, I'm going to psychic phone to the other
Christopher Hooper: yet?
Luke Neverisky: group. Are you guys here yet? We found
Tyram: We're there,
Christopher Hooper: You are in the VIP area getting
Tyram: right?
Christopher Hooper: a meal deal uh with a chili, an apple,
Luke Neverisky: Victor.
Christopher Hooper: and a glass of
Tyram: I'm going to ditch this and I'm just going to go over to where
Christopher Hooper: milk. Okay, great. Um, is the rest of the
Tyram: Victor
Christopher Hooper: VIP group uh ditching the VIP food court area?
Luke Neverisky: both on
Justin Hale: You're on
Tyram: is.
Justin Hale: mute. Hear
Ali Leonard: Um
Ellis Taylor: I'll be right back.
Ali Leonard: uh uh
Luke Neverisky: mute.
Ellis Taylor: We've got a potty. Yeah,
Justin Hale: me?
Ellis Taylor: party time. Come on, bud. Oh,
Ali Leonard: uh I
Ellis Taylor: thank you. Okay.
Ali Leonard: probably I don't want to draw attention And if we have that girl like all up in our grill, I don't want to like cause a
Christopher Hooper: Hi.
Ali Leonard: disturbance. You know what I
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Uh yeah, sure.
Ali Leonard: mean? But I
Justin Hale: Do
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Ali Leonard: also don't want to be tethered to
Justin Hale: you want me to cause a distraction so we can sneak
Ali Leonard: her. That
Justin Hale: away? All right.
Ali Leonard: would probably be real great. like maybe
Justin Hale: Hey, uh
Ali Leonard: bathroom time or something. I can
Justin Hale: Kevin, it's time. It's time for the upturn
Christopher Hooper: okay. I am
Justin Hale: maneuver. Ready and go. Upturn maneuver is uh anything that can be flipped. Tables, chairs,
Christopher Hooper: dead.
Justin Hale: whatever. He's all of
Christopher Hooper: All right. Uh, he's flipping
Ali Leonard: say I'm
Christopher Hooper: over tables. Every time he says, "Hi, I'm Kevin."
Justin Hale: them.
Christopher Hooper: And, "Hi, I'm Kevin." Um, chaos ensues. Um, chili is flying everywhere.
Ali Leonard: going
Justin Hale: That's
Christopher Hooper: milk, apples, um it's all over the place and and you all scurry out of there. Um it's absolute chaos and no one misses you as you
Justin Hale: means
Christopher Hooper: shout. Um
Justin Hale: rude.
Christopher Hooper: the the three of you um at a certain point uh uh
Ali Leonard: Good.
[01:00:00]
Christopher Hooper: I think um Liliana and Elizabeth and like your own brains are able to take you to the um Chimera exhibit where Victor is um just casually talking to Liliana who's draped over Ellsworth's shoulder.
Luke Neverisky: Haven't tried to get off yet. Just
Christopher Hooper: Um, and
Luke Neverisky: chilling.
Christopher Hooper: at at this point, um, Victor is sitting on the bench in front of the Camar exhibit and and El Smith is just standing in front of him with Liliana just draped over. Um, and and you see uh the Chimera exhibit. Um, the Chimera Fufu Cuddly Pants is um giving a show. Um uh he's seems to be doing a um tap dancing routine at this point. Um and uh huge tears um going around. Um and at this point, Liliana um uh you've gotten Victor to tell him to tell you about um Travis. Uh and that's where we'll start. Um yeah, I think um you know he's really serious guy and I think that um it's tough being security for the zoo cuz there's not a lot of upward mobility. In fact, I
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: think people um take him for granted and I think it's really I think it's really jarring for him. And um you know, he thought this you know he thought I was going to be a big problem, a big nut for him to crack and instead we've been you know getting close on these lunches and I just I'm trying to find some other position for him. I don't think he can be a Twilight Counsel, you know. He he get eaten alive. So, I'm going to try to find something
Luke Neverisky: You don't think you'd
Christopher Hooper: else. Maybe in the Navy or something. I think that would be
Luke Neverisky: make
Christopher Hooper: good. He's um he's very severe. Um and I think I think the like moral ambiguity
Luke Neverisky: it?
Christopher Hooper: of the Twilight Company can be um can be tough for people like
Luke Neverisky: Is that
Christopher Hooper: that. You know, you think we
Luke Neverisky: uh
Christopher Hooper: should You think we should add
Luke Neverisky: but well if if it gives him his I mean if that aligns with his hopes and dreams and makes him feel more fulfilled. I mean you got you two seem to get along quite well. You get
Christopher Hooper: it? Yeah, I'm the people person. I get along with
Luke Neverisky: along with everybody. I can't imagine anybody knocking at home with
Christopher Hooper: everybody. I know. No one doesn't. I get along with
Tyram: more stylus
Luke Neverisky: you. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: everybody. Oh
Luke Neverisky: hey. I thought you said you sneezed.
Tyram: sneezes. Oh, am I there? Oh, I was doing that. Like, you know, like somebody's like talking about you
Christopher Hooper: god. Oh yeah. Um
Tyram: somewhere else like in Well, am I
Luke Neverisky: Sorry.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Yeah. This is
Tyram: there? If I'm there, I can talk to him, I'm
Christopher Hooper: where y'all have um y'all have found uh Victor on the
Tyram: sure.
Christopher Hooper: bench talking to Liliana draped over Elizabeth's
Tyram: All right, I'm just going to walk into
Christopher Hooper: shoulder.
Tyram: Victor. Shut up. Give me the orb. Sorry. Give me the uh the ascending stone that we used to talk to
Luke Neverisky: Whoa. Whoa. Yeah. Say please. Please. Sus. No, he's not going to say please. I
Christopher Hooper: Whoa. Sorry,
Luke Neverisky: tried.
Christopher Hooper: I've got the It's It's um allergy season. It's been
Tyram: you. Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: tough for me. Um which
Tyram: that sucks. Give me the sending stone. the one that we uh used to talk to
Christopher Hooper: one? Oh, Bruce.
Tyram: you. Yeah, that one. We're gonna We need to use it to We need to use it to talk to someone else. So,
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Tyram: just give it to that and I'll I'll
Christopher Hooper: but Bruce's right
Tyram: leave. He doesn't have the other one anymore. Just
Christopher Hooper: there. Oh, you gave that to someone
Tyram: give me the
Christopher Hooper: else. Oh,
Tyram: stone. Yes. Give me your stone.
Christopher Hooper: man. She seems in a bad
Tyram: probably. Give me the
Luke Neverisky: Give him the stone.
Christopher Hooper: place. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Here
Luke Neverisky: Please
Christopher Hooper: you
Tyram: stone. Okay, see you. I just take it and
Luke Neverisky: use your manners to please get what you
Tyram: leave. Okay, I don't know if the rest of you
Luke Neverisky: want.
Tyram: are invested in Victor's ongoing drama or not. I'm not. So, we got what we needed. So, just let's go try to talk to Luna, I
Luke Neverisky: All right, I guess
Christopher Hooper: go.
Tyram: think.
Luke Neverisky: I'll I'll give I'm still draped over Olivia then. I'll just like tap Olivia in the back a couple times like, "All right, let's move
Ellis Taylor: Oh, but wait. Did anybody want to use
Luke Neverisky: out. We
Ellis Taylor: start his lab for Scarlet?
Tyram: Oh, damn
Luke Neverisky: know you're right.
Christopher Hooper: Oh. Um, I would have if that's a we could do it later if you want, but it would be nice to finish the We're so
Tyram: it.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Hey, Victor. Hang
Christopher Hooper: close to the Pocket Village.
Tyram: What's wrong with Iro's workshop? How much s*** do you need? Freaking
Christopher Hooper: He's got measurement
Luke Neverisky: on. All right. Hang on, Victor. Hey, you've been so helpful for us today. But just if you could do us one more solid and just, you know, let us use your lab a little bit.
Tyram: Scarlet.
Luke Neverisky: Be so
Christopher Hooper: equipment.
Luke Neverisky: grateful. You won't even
Christopher Hooper: Oh. Uh, okay. What
Luke Neverisky: know who's
Christopher Hooper: do you Okay. I I can take it in my
Luke Neverisky: there. That just be great. Oh, and one of our friends, too. She's helping out with something. You might know her.
Christopher Hooper: lab. Well, I know most of you. Uh okay. Yeah. Um I can help you with whatever you need. Um Okay. Well, actually, it's funny that you say that because uh uh the entrance is
Luke Neverisky: Whoa. Uh, I'm not supposed to know that. Okay, so
Christopher Hooper: here. Yeah. Yeah. Um so, um usually I time it for uh uh Fufu Cuddly Pances. Um like they they do like a really special thing and everyone's looking and then
Luke Neverisky: Whoa. Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: I ready. Um and he pulls a lever. um uh one of the like little um braces on the bench. Um and it just like releases and shoots him down a shoot and uh immediately like comes back
Luke Neverisky: Neat. Well, all right then. Think we're in a clear. I'mma think to think to I guess Silus. Victor's not that bad. See, he's very helpful and nice.
Ellis Taylor: See, Victor's being
Christopher Hooper: up.
Luke Neverisky: All right.
Ellis Taylor: great, bud. This will be fine.
Luke Neverisky: Well, lead on, Victor. Let's Let's check out your lab
Christopher Hooper: Uh yeah. So each of you pull that same lever on the bench and shoot down the chute. Um uh you all
Tyram: Incorrect.
Christopher Hooper: act super surprised because you've never been down here
Luke Neverisky: then.
Christopher Hooper: before and uh Victor excitedly explains the whole way that you've never seen. Um, as he heads towards his lab, um, you head uh through the sewers and eventually find the the back to the door um on the edge of the zoo. Um and um in in his lab uh you see uh there's a panel and um Scarlet points that says yes I thought I saw this. Um what what is this uh tracking board that you have here? He says, "Oh, well, um, I've been tracking, um, signals, um, from the Elderon space station. Um, trying to track, uh, going and doing. I I found most of their, uh, their bands. Um, and I'm able to to see the, uh, triangulate where they work. Um, so I I have a bunch of like geospatial location uh, signals here. Um, it actually I I I sometimes get messed up because there's Well, this is odd. What's going on here? And he he taps a little dial and he then looks at all of you and says, um, do any of you have a like a, you know, dimensional, uh, disrupting device on you for a
Luke Neverisky: I for one
Christopher Hooper: chance? Yeah, this is what I was talking about. Silus, something on you is like messing up these these
Tyram: Are you
Christopher Hooper: calibrations. Yeah, I'm totally sure. It's when you came whenever you come by. It f**** up all of my instrumentation. Come on, silence.
Tyram: sure? Okay. Okay. Um, let let me see something real quick. So, um I walk by and uh I want to see if like it like it triggers the the meter or
Ellis Taylor: The needle straight up follow you
Christopher Hooper: Silus. Yeah. And um
Ellis Taylor: back and
Christopher Hooper: uh yeah, it basically follows you. Um it's
Tyram: whatever. Okay, I want to go uh
Christopher Hooper: it's actually feels a little Yeah. Go
Tyram: hand my backpack I want to hand my backpack to Brew and then see if the needle still follows
Ellis Taylor: forth.
Christopher Hooper: ahead. The NATO follows the backpack.
Tyram: me. Okay, I think at the crew it's probably the dragon
Luke Neverisky: Uh, how can we forget about the dragon art?
Ellis Taylor: I'm going to take the dragon orb out and
[01:10:00]
Christopher Hooper: Wait, what is something in your backpacks? Oh, right. Oh, I should have known. Yeah, right. Your dragon. Uh, okay. Oh, this is very interesting.
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Ellis Taylor: go.
Christopher Hooper: Um, wait. So I
Tyram: orb. I thought we like a Faraday cage. I guess it's not completely full
Christopher Hooper: wonder I I think it normally would but my instrumentation here is very specific to dimensional frequencies more than just a a effect on this plane. It seems to be affecting signals from other planes as well. Um interesting. Very very interesting. Oh, well, um I I could use this instrumentation. We're trying to stabilize
Tyram: perhaps.
Christopher Hooper: the um the pocket village. Um a little uh interdimensional space for us to, you know, hang out and, you know, throw parties and stuff. Oh, that's cool. Uh all right. Well, um Huh. Okay. Do you have space for that? I don't I don't have a blast chamber or anything. Oh, don't worry. Um, Iro, uh, have you met him? Oh, Iro, I've heard about him. He's got a super nice workshop. Yeah. Yeah. Um, his workshop, he's got a blast chamber. He's got a a catalytic, um, chamber. A catalytic chamber. That's awesome. Yeah, I know. Um, that's where I've been doing the rest of the experiments going on, and that's where I need these, uh, calibration instruments. Oh, all right. Um, okay. Yeah. And so, uh, I think that we can finally tune in the resonance to stabilize that connection if we, uh, if we bring this. Can you package it up? Uh, okay. Uh, one second. Let me throw it in my, uh, my bag. And, uh, this stuff is is large. Um, yeah, they got their different genders. That's the only thing that's holding me together. Um he's like throwing everything in in a bag and this stuff is like massive and it seems like he's got a bag of holding holding the
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Uh Olivia's going to walk over and help him and then just kind
Christopher Hooper: stuff.
Ellis Taylor: of like talk to Victor. So um you're talking to other dimensions. Are you opening portals as well?
Christopher Hooper: Um Oh, I haven't been able to do that yet. I mostly been using it just to measure things. Um, I don't know. Uh, one of the big projects that we have going on in Toilet Company is all these dimensional riffs. And so I'm hoping that maybe I can find them before they rip into our world so we can uh address them faster. Uh, that's how it started. But it turns out there's a bunch of f****** crazy stuff going on. Uh the big thing is I have been able to um find a bunch of Eldoran sites where they seem to be uh teleporting supplies to their space station and I've been able to track that uh in space which has been uh interesting. Um and we're using the knowledge to try to put together some attack plans at some point. Uh yeah, sorry. I'm probably boring you. Um, I should be packed up uh soon. Uh, yeah. Will you hand me that?
Ellis Taylor: Fascinating.
Christopher Hooper: Great. Um, cool. And this is it. Uh, lead the way. Um, and they pack up uh everything that they need and start heading towards the harbor where Iro's workshop is.
Ali Leonard: They
Christopher Hooper: Um, and at this point, um, any clothes, shopping supplies, or anything or materials for the pocket village, you can you want to you can bring to Ira's workshop as, um, you start working on stabilizing uh, the um, the void.
Ali Leonard: got
Christopher Hooper: Um, anything before we move to that? Cool.
Tyram: Do you want to follow up on who that lady who let us in like through the fastpass was? Like I'm still a little like you didn't make an appointment,
Justin Hale: Ellsworth pooper
Tyram: right?
Justin Hale: may
Ali Leonard: No. Also, I didn't put up a sign. I'm supposed to as a racist, but
Justin Hale: have.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: I'm just very confused. I mean,
Ali Leonard: I
Tyram: it worked out pretty well for us, but like, you
Ali Leonard: didn't. But it Yeah. Is there someone going around calling themselves
Christopher Hooper: Yes,
Tyram: know, or is there someone keeping
Ali Leonard: beler? That looks like
Luke Neverisky: That's another
Tyram: tabs on us? Good thing we got the world's greatest
Ali Leonard: me. I don't like
Luke Neverisky: mystery.
Christopher Hooper: sir.
Tyram: detectives and the world's second greatest detective on the
Ellis Taylor: What's the
Justin Hale: Awesome.
Tyram: case. Um, who this person was? Yeah. who
Ali Leonard: it. I've got a stalker.
Ellis Taylor: mystery? Honey, are you are you having issues
Tyram: uh who fast passed
Ellis Taylor: with stalkers
Ali Leonard: apparently. I mean, I just created this
Ellis Taylor: again?
Ali Leonard: alias like two hours
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, they can be really right on top of that s***.
Ali Leonard: ago. They made a, you know, like as a racist, you're supposed to put a sign saying
Luke Neverisky: Of course,
Ali Leonard: that you're a racist in the area.
Tyram: us. Everyone knows that. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: I didn't do that because I didn't want everybody to know I was in the area, but I was also my alias. Somebody made one for my alias and put it up and said that I
Luke Neverisky: naturally. Yeah,
Ali Leonard: would be at the zoo at a specific
Ellis Taylor: Interesting. Honey, it sounds like you've got a stalker
Ali Leonard: time. I didn't even know I was going to be at the zoo at a specific time. I don't even know where I am half
Ellis Taylor: again. Interdimensional
Ali Leonard: the time. I don't
Ellis Taylor: stalker. Live live between space and
Ali Leonard: like it. Maybe
Ellis Taylor: time.
Ali Leonard: I should go look for that
Luke Neverisky: it's
Tyram: Yeah, we can find out who like told the zoo to expect us at this
Ali Leonard: sign. Or if it's on like a bulletin board, check the handwriting or
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: time.
Ali Leonard: something. I guess I could go look for that girl and see if she's if
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Ali Leonard: she what she knows.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so you want to pop by the zoo entrance before you go to Iris
Ellis Taylor: Yes. Then Olivia's going to drop 10 gold in the donation box while we're
Tyram: No, there's no need. It was all paid
Ellis Taylor: there. No, it's too
Christopher Hooper: Orcha.
Tyram: for. Barrett.
Ellis Taylor: late. That's not out of the party. Gold, calm down.
Christopher Hooper: Um um are y'all being else are you being sneaky or are you just like showing
Ali Leonard: Hey,
Christopher Hooper: up? You're just showing
Ali Leonard: I think I think I'm just showing
Christopher Hooper: up. Okay. Um you see um when you arrive you see a dwarf woman um immaculately dressed fine um elder and leathers uh standing um in line um at the back of the
Ali Leonard: up.
Christopher Hooper: line and she is currently mythed. She has a whole entourage of people. Um there's a small um there's a small goblin with her looks like to be her manager. Um there seems to be a halfling that is um just like um doing something on his uh notepad. Um and she's like you can just see her like very loudly, passively aggressively saying like I can't believe that I have to wait in line with all these people. My
Ali Leonard: What is happening? I just invented her
Christopher Hooper: god. Does anyone know who I am? I'm
Ali Leonard: an hour
Christopher Hooper: Belith
Tyram: It I guess it really is just a complete and total
Ali Leonard: ago. She's saying she's a racist,
Tyram: coincidence. Hey, I mean, have you been
Ali Leonard: though.
Tyram: like out of the racist scene for a while? Maybe there's someone trying to swoop
Christopher Hooper: Booper.
Tyram: in like, you know, steal your thunder.
Ali Leonard: using my
Tyram: Maybe. I don't
Ali Leonard: name. Can someone stab this
Luke Neverisky: or they did say imitation is the greatest form of
Justin Hale: All right. If you if you
Luke Neverisky: flattering.
Ellis Taylor: And bro's like, "Okay.
Justin Hale: say
Tyram: know. Well, actually, I may talk to you about that. Um, do you
Ali Leonard: person?
Justin Hale: so.
Tyram: want us to start stabbing your enemies in the racist circuit?
Ali Leonard: Oh. Um,
Tyram: I didn't
Ali Leonard: no. I
Luke Neverisky: She took
Tyram: ask you. Okay. So,
Ali Leonard: mean, I would love to
Luke Neverisky: a long time to think about
Ellis Taylor: No,
Tyram: Elizabeth.
Ali Leonard: like stab their
Ellis Taylor: I'm
Tyram: Okay.
Ali Leonard: reputation. Does that make sense? Like I want to like make everyone
Tyram: Okay. That makes sense. I
Ali Leonard: hate them slash they're already some of them
Luke Neverisky: that.
Justin Hale: Oh,
Ali Leonard: already hated so I want to cause their lives
Tyram: mean, you know what? Real talk, we're buds now. So, like I feel like we help each other out with our revenge driven motivations.
Ali Leonard: ruin
Tyram: So, yeah. Like, if you want us to help you like take these f****** down, you
Ali Leonard: yeah yeah I wouldn't mind
Luke Neverisky: Oh
Ali Leonard: burning somebody's company to the
Luke Neverisky: jeez. All
Tyram: know? I will say it'd be a lot quicker and easier for us to just
Ali Leonard: pound just to kill
Tyram: literally go stab them. But if you want us to do it the hard way,
Ali Leonard: them. Yeah. But then they don't they don't
Luke Neverisky: right.
Tyram: you know, it's your revenge
Ali Leonard: feel what I've been feeling for a year. You know what I mean? They're just
Tyram: plot. True enough. This is your revenge plot. we'll follow your lead. You know, just wanted to
Ali Leonard: dead. Yeah. I'd like to make them suffer
Tyram: put and I'm so glad like we're talking
Ali Leonard: if
Tyram: about revenge plots. Um there's still a lot of iron claws
Ali Leonard: possible.
Tyram: still set up in this city who, you know, we we do need to take down, you know. Oh, absolutely. And like, you know, those
Ali Leonard: Great. I'll also have one for
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, those are fine. Those
Tyram: guys are literal murdering assholes. So, like I feel
[01:20:00]
Ali Leonard: you. Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, no problem with that
Ellis Taylor: are fine. Yeah, no
Tyram: like Yeah.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. Can we figure out who
Christopher Hooper: Definitely.
Tyram: Oh, it's
Ali Leonard: this idiot is,
Tyram: uh uh Helga's
Ali Leonard: though?
Luke Neverisky: one.
Ellis Taylor: problem.
Tyram: mom. Oh, this person. No, no
Ali Leonard: No, I mean Belle's with Booper. Who the f*** is this
Tyram: idea. It apparently just It's an astonishing coincidence, it
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Ali Leonard: person? I don't like it. And I feel like I'm being scammed and someone stole
Tyram: seems. I mean, really,
Ali Leonard: my credit card, which is fine. I don't have any
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Tyram: we accidentally scammed her.
Ali Leonard: money. No, it's my
Luke Neverisky: I identity theft isn't a joke.
Tyram: I
Luke Neverisky: Elith
Tyram: mean, it could be a coincidence on top of a coincidence that her name
Ali Leonard: name.
Tyram: actually is Beler.
Ali Leonard: I don't like it. I don't. It's too many
Ellis Taylor: I mean, give her let's just give her a pass.
Tyram: It is a little
Ellis Taylor: Her last name is Booper, which has got to be
Tyram: sus. It's
Ali Leonard: coincidences. I think
Ellis Taylor: unfortunate. Hey, Cooper is
Tyram: one letter away from your last
Ali Leonard: that she's scamming
Ellis Taylor: a solid name. Booper is an action you do to a tiny
Tyram: name.
Ali Leonard: somebody. That's all the
Luke Neverisky: or a
Ellis Taylor: child's nose.
Justin Hale: I
Ali Leonard: name. Do have to take a minute to
Christopher Hooper: All right.
Ali Leonard: go bathroom.
Christopher Hooper: Uh, let's say, um, y'all walk and talk and you arrive
Justin Hale: think. All right.
Christopher Hooper: at Iro's workshop and we'll take a bathroom
Luke Neverisky: cute
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: break.
Tyram: Hell yeah. That's very nice. Hey Ter, did we ever like pencil in a
Christopher Hooper: You can
Tyram: week to do uh uh dagger heart
Christopher Hooper: see I don't think we
Tyram: again? Okay.
Christopher Hooper: have it. Obviously, I'd like to see really good pace. I think
[01:30:36]
Ellis Taylor: It's dead. Hello.
Christopher Hooper: very different.
Tyram: All
Luke Neverisky: Hat. Hey.
Ellis Taylor: Hello.
Christopher Hooper: Hello. Are we ready?
Tyram: right. All right. Alli and Justin back.
Christopher Hooper: No, one of them
Tyram: No, the one I like
Justin Hale: Damn.
Christopher Hooper: is compromises we have
Tyram: less
Christopher Hooper: to take. The
Luke Neverisky: Well, oh
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Mhm.
Justin Hale: Shut.
Christopher Hooper: compromises we have to take. Oh, there we are. All right. So, um All
Luke Neverisky: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: right. Um, so
Tyram: Josh
Christopher Hooper: you head into um Fluke's workshop and uh Scarlet immediately goes through uh goes to a um the catalytic chamber um that she was working on before and she starts hooking up with Victor um his uh his um calibration um
Tyram: No, they just met like five minutes ago. They're already hooking
Luke Neverisky: God damn. Good for
Christopher Hooper: instrumentation. Yeah. Wouldn't you connect with someone? It's magic. But between kisses, they um instrument uh the
Tyram: up.
Luke Neverisky: Victor.
Christopher Hooper: uh chamber up with um some sensors um fully around. Um uh Iro kind of is like, "Hey, welcome back again." Oh. Oh, hey. Yep. Back there. Uh what's
Tyram: So
Christopher Hooper: up? What are y'all up to? I can't do
Tyram: I need to be like 20%
Luke Neverisky: You can only
Ellis Taylor: Sorry,
Christopher Hooper: that.
Tyram: sexier.
Christopher Hooper: Sorry. Sorry. This sexiest I can be.
Luke Neverisky: do attempts
Tyram: I hope that makes the
Luke Neverisky: to be sexy but fails.
Ellis Taylor: Jasmine.
Christopher Hooper: Uh I uh I don't know if this is helpful, but um my uh but
Tyram: recap.
Christopher Hooper: uh we can clear out some space for your experiments if you want. Uh I know you all are y'all are busy. I'll I'll get out of the way. Um and yeah, it leads you to it. Um you see just a lot of excited um uh conversations going on. And Silus uh your backpack is very warm. It feels like a space heater um going
Tyram: Oh, hold
Christopher Hooper: on. Brew, you smell
Tyram: this. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: the smell of like ozone, like um splitting
Justin Hale: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: oxygen uh and uh coming from this bag. It's um you know, an acquired
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: smell. Um, and at this point, uh, you see, um, Scarlet says, "That's it. That's it. A little bit more." Yes. Right there. All right. It's It's happening. It's happening. Everyone gather around.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I was about to
Justin Hale: Should we give you a
Christopher Hooper: Gather around.
Tyram: There she
Luke Neverisky: say, are we still hooking up here or
Tyram: is.
Luke Neverisky: what? Sorry, my mind's in the gutter
Christopher Hooper: Um.
Tyram: Can't you guys be professional?
Luke Neverisky: now that we started writing
Justin Hale: minute?
Luke Neverisky: romantasy.
Christopher Hooper: I don't know what yall are talking
Tyram: Jesus. It's this place. It's just so inherently
Christopher Hooper: about. We're about to make history. And
Tyram: romantic.
Christopher Hooper: um you see through the the chamber there's a little window you can look through and you see a um as you all huddle huddle around you see coming out of this this like spinning blue like deep void these wooden roots emerging from them. and they kind of wrap around um the portal space and start to miraculously form a door. Um and uh a a door starts to figure itself. It looks to be a heavy hardwood door. Um and uh eventually it just stops. And even even outside you can hear a woo woo woo woo woo going on. Um and Scarlet says, "All right, this is it. Brew Ellmith, would you like to do the honors? I know you've spent so much time on this. Uh I really only uh finished
Justin Hale: Yay. We spend so much time on
Christopher Hooper: connecting the
Ali Leonard: Yeah, we spend
Justin Hale: it.
Christopher Hooper: dots.
Ali Leonard: so much time on it and we know exactly what's going
Justin Hale: Mhm. What she
Tyram: I mean, yeah, we all know that. What are you saying it
Ali Leonard: on. Schmatics, village, pocket, we get
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Justin Hale: said.
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: Um. All right. And you you open um
Ali Leonard: Sure.
Christopher Hooper: there's like a submarine style like wheel turn on the on the
Tyram: for?
Christopher Hooper: blast door and you you open it, give that steamy hiss as it opens. And
Ali Leonard: which is supposed to
Christopher Hooper: um
Ali Leonard: happen and we know
Christopher Hooper: and yeah, you feel very confident. If you want, you want to you want to give me an
Ali Leonard: that. Not
Christopher Hooper: archer? Okay. You don't have
Ali Leonard: really. I'll do it
Christopher Hooper: to. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: just to double check that I know it's too young. But I know that I do. Actually, I think I actually do know what's going
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. 22. you know what's going on.
Ali Leonard: on.
Ellis Taylor: What?
Justin Hale: H.
Christopher Hooper: Um
Ali Leonard: 22. I was here the whole
Christopher Hooper: so what has happened is um
Ali Leonard: time.
Christopher Hooper: basically they it's it's basically like in our terms it would be like stabilizing uh fision um where you have like concentrated energy where it hits a critical point where it stabilizes and maintains its form. And so within that um that is uh what seems to be happening. But on the other side it seems like there's something that is
Ellis Taylor: I'll leave it
Christopher Hooper: naturally forming a an environment.
Ellis Taylor: again.
Christopher Hooper: Um and what you understand and through the research and that you've done through this is that the way this works is by taking elements of other planes of existence and leading them to naturally like proliferate the elements of their planes. There are planes where they're hospitable and uh a lot of like the fay realm where um the the the space itself um like changes and adapts to the people that are in it. And by taking those elements um you're able to create a uh multi-dimensional space that conforms to whatever your mind um puts to it. And so that's what's happening here. It seems that Scarlet has has basically ideiated a oak door that leads to an interdimensional space. Um, and if it is stabilized at this point, that means that the internal space stood should be stable enough to exist in. Um, and you open the oak door and as Scarlet said, there is you see a huge vista around you. Um, and at this point, Elmith, what what do you think Elizabeth thinks would be beyond this door?
Ali Leonard: Um, well, we called it a pocket village. So, I think her first idea is like, oh, it's probably like
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Ali Leonard: a hamlet, you know, with like a little
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Hair.
Ali Leonard: village and like a little town square, you know, like an actual
Christopher Hooper: So um what's interesting
Ali Leonard: village.
Christopher Hooper: to Elizabeth is initially you see what um Scarlet described mountains, hills, a river and then Elizabeth is like I thought this was a you know a pocket village and as she thinks that it starts to form in the space uh it starts to populate with um a a small village, a little hamlet to the side off the mountains. Um there along the creek is a village that is populated. You see um people start to mill around um the village and creek. Um and the only odd thing is the sky feels too close.
Ali Leonard: That's
Luke Neverisky: Just a little
Ellis Taylor: Also,
Tyram: He's like,
Luke Neverisky: bit.
Ellis Taylor: it it's creating
Justin Hale: Yeah, that part's
Tyram: "Walk. Pump your head
Ali Leonard: creepy.
Ellis Taylor: people. Yeah, that part's creeping me out. It's creating people. Are they
Tyram: off.
Ali Leonard: That's also very creepy little
Ellis Taylor: just going to pop in and out of existence as we imagine people there or
Justin Hale: creepier.
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: Oh, were they like uh like
Ellis Taylor: not?
Tyram: shade people from like Spirited Away or
Ali Leonard: AI.
Ellis Taylor: It's just like the illusion of a person that really looks like paper
Christopher Hooper: yes. Maybe
Ellis Taylor: cutouts. When we get over
[01:40:36]
Christopher Hooper: Um, and Brew, uh, what do you imagine as you as you follow elsewhere through the
Justin Hale: What? What else do I
Tyram: whatever?
Christopher Hooper: door? Maybe you imagine the same
Ali Leonard: Did you
Justin Hale: imagine? Oh,
Ali Leonard: imagine a village or did you imagine a fireworks
Justin Hale: separ um I I
Christopher Hooper: thing. Or maybe you imagine a
Justin Hale: I imagine like a fun village.
Christopher Hooper: goblin village, which would be interesting, too. A
Ali Leonard: factory?
Christopher Hooper: cyberpunk village. Um, and
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: uh, you see the village and it begins to like kind of like plop in place these like aluminum sheets along the walls. Um, you see some of the clothing and the the things people are wearing. Um, a lot of the grass ends up dying and being more dusty. Uh, and it seems to adapt um to the to this cyberpunk uh vision of this village that um as you like enter the
Ellis Taylor: Does it adapt for Elizabeth as well? Like does she see the same thing Bruce
Christopher Hooper: space. Um, yeah. So, are you
Ellis Taylor: seeing me?
Christopher Hooper: following? Yeah. Oh. Uh uh cool. So Olivia steps
Ali Leonard: That's
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. So,
Justin Hale: Everybody's
Christopher Hooper: through and what do you what did you imagine this um pocket village would be
Ali Leonard: what
Ellis Taylor: I've watched it shift three times from like mountains to a cute village to a cyberpunk village. Olivia's gonna
Christopher Hooper: like?
Ellis Taylor: be like, "hm". And she's just going to imagine like a beautiful pristine beach that just has like a little shack off to the side, like a little drink shack. Taste it.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. And so off to the left, the like earth falls away and it ends up being an ocean and the sand comes in. And then there's like a um a surf shack with a coconut um like drinks and there's like a super like really handsome guy uh serving coconut drinks to people
Ellis Taylor: Yes, he looks a little bit like Iro, but maybe
Christopher Hooper: on lawn chairs.
Ellis Taylor: like the slightly younger version. Also a dwarf. No, no, she doesn't care. Never mind. Yeah,
Ali Leonard: That's warro.
Ellis Taylor: she doesn't care. Never mind.
Christopher Hooper: Um um cool. Who's
Ali Leonard: Oh, you get
Tyram: was that meaning that
Luke Neverisky: No, I'm
Christopher Hooper: next? I don't know. He's cooker
Tyram: you want to go next there, Luke?
Luke Neverisky: thinking
Christopher Hooper: licking.
Tyram: Okay. Um, I'm trying to think of what Silus would like.
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: I know Silus has seen that like it seems to adapt by each person like entering the space.
Tyram: Uh sees that he might just go in and imagine just like piles and
Christopher Hooper: Um sure.
Tyram: piles of
Ali Leonard: Thank
Ellis Taylor: Here is Scrooge McDucket over at the
Christopher Hooper: Um and
Tyram: gold. Yeah. Okay.
Ellis Taylor: side. A pool of gold.
Tyram: Yeah, sure. Like there's like a there's like a big Scrooge McDuck swimming pool,
Ali Leonard: you.
Tyram: but like just filled with like gold coins and things like that.
Christopher Hooper: um yeah, you
Tyram: doing something sweet where like Silas's favorite place in all the realms is uh
Ellis Taylor: No.
Tyram: uh the Lotus Casino.
Christopher Hooper: are
Tyram: So, so maybe elements of that, but with a giant like Scrooge
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. So,
Tyram: McDuck uh
Christopher Hooper: Silus, uh, as you enter, you see,
Ellis Taylor: A
Christopher Hooper: um, I want to say like the Vegas
Tyram: gold.
Christopher Hooper: fountains you see, uh, show up, but it's like spewing gold coins into like a gold uh, fountain pool. Um, and on the side looks it you see this like glowing door um that reminds you of the of
Ellis Taylor: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: the portal to the
Ellis Taylor: honey. Do you miss Naomi? Has it Have you been talking to
Tyram: Oh yeah, we talk every night, but
Ellis Taylor: her?
Christopher Hooper: lotus.
Tyram: um it's hard, you
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I hear that.
Tyram: know. But check it out. We got f****** gold geysers. This place is
Christopher Hooper: Liliana,
Luke Neverisky: Um, see what I see
Christopher Hooper: what about
Tyram: rad.
Luke Neverisky: here. Well, it's springtime and I guess um says any springtime here. just um I see in the village um uh just a bunch of trees and plants in
Christopher Hooper: you?
Luke Neverisky: bloom. Um every uh everybody has a smile on their face. Um a lot of birds um you know it's it's really just uh lively and green um and uh filled with uh filled with plants and people getting along and I don't know, sunshine and rainbows drug jump. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Yes.
Ali Leonard: A drum circle group of
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I'll say less of like a
Tyram: It's still
Ali Leonard: hacky sack players.
Christopher Hooper: visual Yeah, still cyberpunk. I'll say
Tyram: cyber, you
Christopher Hooper: in less of a visual effect. Uh you see like an emotional effect uh applied to the scene as it seems very just way more joyful camaraderie. You see children playing. There's laughter filling the
Tyram: know.
Christopher Hooper: air. It looks like there's now like some sort of festival banners going on in the village
Luke Neverisky: All right.
Christopher Hooper: center. Um, and uh, yeah, there's a there's already music playing, especially on the beach. Um, there's um, a someone who has a guitar and a bunch of people sitting around like a campfire. Um, listening to it.
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and yeah, you're all inside this dimensional space. Um and at uh at this point um you uh Silus, give me a perception chart. 16.
Tyram: Uh
Christopher Hooper: Okay. It's um you know it's hard to draw yourself away from the the gold fountain, but um you hear like a distant um
Tyram: 16.
Christopher Hooper: singing um and eventually you it sounds it sounds like there's a big crowd of people coming towards you and it sounds like They're singing happy birthday and you just hear happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Ellis Taylor: Happy
Christopher Hooper: Happy birthday dear
Ellis Taylor: birthday.
Christopher Hooper: Silus. Happy birthday to you. And uh there is a crowd of people um joining around at this point. Um uh
Ellis Taylor: I
Christopher Hooper: um Olivia, do you use your your card that you
Ellis Taylor: do. I use my card and open the doors. I'm
Christopher Hooper: have? And the door at the fountain um that looks like the door to the lotus out pops Naomi and she joins and she comes out with
Ellis Taylor: guessing
Christopher Hooper: a a cake with some candles on it. um and takes it to you and and people are bringing tables and balloons and and bringing it. Uh anything anyone else wants to uh do right
Ali Leonard: Sorry, Brew and I forgot a bunch of party supplies when we went
Christopher Hooper: now? Yeah, I think you brought it with you,
Ali Leonard: shopping. Yeah, we wouldn't have
Christopher Hooper: right? Not with that
Ali Leonard: forgotten it, that's for
Luke Neverisky: Um,
Christopher Hooper: 22 arcana check.
Ali Leonard: sure.
Justin Hale: Mhm. What's the time?
Christopher Hooper: All right, Justin.
Justin Hale: What time is
Christopher Hooper: What? It's
Justin Hale: it? No. No. In the
Luke Neverisky: Is it nice?
Justin Hale: game. Is it night time? Is it
Christopher Hooper: 9:23. It's uh It's
Tyram: Oh, that's an interesting question. Is the relative
Christopher Hooper: sunset.
Tyram: time of day inside of the pocket village the same as it was
Ellis Taylor: I think it's whatever we want it to
Christopher Hooper: No, you you saw it the
Ali Leonard: I
Ellis Taylor: be.
Justin Hale: dark?
Christopher Hooper: sun go down when Liliana was like everyone's happy and listening
Tyram: outside?
Ali Leonard: hear
Christopher Hooper: to music and fire pits and stuff.
Justin Hale: Uh, I'm gonna take off with um with Kevin and um anybody else who wants to come with me and set up the
Christopher Hooper: Um, all right.
Justin Hale: fireworks.
Christopher Hooper: And Ally, you had something, right? All right. Go
Ali Leonard: Oh, I have a
Christopher Hooper: ahead.
Ali Leonard: present. I give you like it's super crudely wrapped because we've been busy, but I give you a gift and it's from all of us and it's um a wand of webs so you can cast
Tyram: That was sick. I add that
Christopher Hooper: And Liliana, what you
Tyram: to my
Ali Leonard: web.
Luke Neverisky: while you're adding stuff to your inventory. Well, I was
Christopher Hooper: got?
[01:50:36]
Tyram: inventory.
Luke Neverisky: going to give Silus a hug and then present him with a um a hand drum with a uh that has some like little engraving of like daggers and an S on it. Um, it says, um, I hope we can maybe bring out your latent artist and, you know, maybe try to get you some music and, you know, no pressure, but in case you want to try your hand at it, here you go. I know there's there's musicians somewhere in
Tyram: All right. I grab of the uh drum and I I I try to give it a
Luke Neverisky: there.
Christopher Hooper: and
Tyram: little beat, I
Christopher Hooper: uh you play and the the rest of the the talents people are playing too. It's a it's a great old time. Um there's
Tyram: guess.
Christopher Hooper: enough cake for everybody. Um, pizza and chicken tenders, uh, of course. And just when it feels right, uh, the fireworks start going off. Um, but they're not just
Justin Hale: No,
Christopher Hooper: any sort of fireworks, are they,
Justin Hale: they are super fancy drone like fireworks. Word for it. Magic.
Christopher Hooper: Justin?
Luke Neverisky: magic.
Justin Hale: Yeah, magic as if they're like drones in the real world.
Christopher Hooper: I'm imagining like the
Luke Neverisky: Oh yeah,
Justin Hale: Um, there you go.
Christopher Hooper: Gandalf fireworks,
Justin Hale: Um, so as they go off, they go off like normal fireworks, right, where it's like in waves or whatever, but each one that goes off, it
Christopher Hooper: right?
Luke Neverisky: nice.
Justin Hale: like sets a scene in the sky of basically like uh like a montage going through Silus's life, like all the good
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: things that have happened in Silus's life. Um, so each each explosion of fireworks is another like scene set out as the as the uh lights kind of fall back down to the sky.
Tyram: That's very sweet. is definitely like cozing up like with Naomi while watching the
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. And the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: fireworks and the
Luke Neverisky: Nice. Mhm.
Ellis Taylor: baby.
Christopher Hooper: and
Tyram: baby
Ellis Taylor: Okay. I'm glad you
Christopher Hooper: and um
Ali Leonard: How many middle fingers are in these

Luke Neverisky: d10. All right, we're
Ellis Taylor: What?
Christopher Hooper: And if it's a six, we'll
Ellis Taylor: What?
Christopher Hooper: reroll
Tyram: I got it.
Justin Hale: angry.
Christopher Hooper: four. All right, that's that's nice. Um, and Olivia, you take a moment as you're you're standing
Luke Neverisky: good.
Christopher Hooper: back and you're looking around and it just
Tyram: Four.
Christopher Hooper: looks just so happy, but something naws at you that the sky is just really close, oddly close, and you look up there and you see these Um, it's like black holes moving closer to you and
Ali Leonard: Foreign Foreign speech.
Christopher Hooper: they grow bigger and bigger.
Ali Leonard: speech.
Christopher Hooper: And just when it seems like they're about to be within reach, we end the session. And we'll pick up on that next
Ali Leonard: I
Luke Neverisky: When that is
Christopher Hooper: time.
Tyram: That's ominous.
Ali Leonard: don't love
Ellis Taylor: We get a cool toy and he immediately breaks
Luke Neverisky: ominous can't have nice
Ellis Taylor: it.
Ali Leonard: that.
Tyram: Well, thanks for the the birthday celebration
Justin Hale: Sounds It was all Toeer's
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, no
Luke Neverisky: Thanks.
Justin Hale: idea.
Tyram: there. Well, I know you didn't come. No, I'm just
Justin Hale: You inspired the whole thing with
Christopher Hooper: problem.
Tyram: kidding. Well, thank you.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I thought that would be a fun way to also use Pocket Village.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: Anything you
Ali Leonard: if we still have it.
Ellis Taylor: It's about to implode on us.
Christopher Hooper: want. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Justin Hale: us.
Christopher Hooper: It'll be fine. Um, did y'all have
Tyram: You said like black holes plural
Christopher Hooper: fun?
Tyram: like one black hole would have been alarming on its
Christopher Hooper: Uh, it's true. It's true. Um, did y'all have fun? Did y'all enjoy
Tyram: own.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I want to find out more
Christopher Hooper: um Bell Spit
Luke Neverisky: about
Justin Hale: Oh, real quick.
Christopher Hooper: Booper?
Tyram: Excuse
Ali Leonard: No, I don't like having a con artist to
Christopher Hooper: I I was very
Ali Leonard: stalk me.
Luke Neverisky: this.
Justin Hale: No.
Christopher Hooper: worried timing wise that we wouldn't get to the birthday party because
Tyram: me.
Justin Hale: Where was
Christopher Hooper: y'all side quested investigating Bill Smith
Justin Hale: that
Ali Leonard: You can't just put like
Tyram: This is
Ali Leonard: somebody that shouldn't be there and I'm not supposed to
Christopher Hooper: pooper.
Tyram: going to be a whole quest line.
Ellis Taylor: Is she just a doppelganger or is
Christopher Hooper: It's a
Ali Leonard: investigate. Is
Ellis Taylor: it someone impersonating her?
Justin Hale: party?
Ali Leonard: it nefarious? Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh my goodness. A mystery of
Tyram: Now, I like to think that somebody's trying to cash in on Ellsworth's legacy on the
Christopher Hooper: little Yeah.
Tyram: track, but us showing up at the same time was just a sheer
Ali Leonard: only I can do
Tyram: coincidence.
Christopher Hooper: I do love the lore that drivers like have to register in the
Ali Leonard: that. I don't like that. It feels like we're
Christopher Hooper: classifides. No,
Tyram: You guys are
Ali Leonard: bad.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: it's cuz they're
Ali Leonard: I guess, but I don't
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: want everybody to know where I
Tyram: racists. That does sound like pretty sad. Then if you frame it that way, then
Christopher Hooper: lonely.
Tyram: like
Ali Leonard: am. Maybe I have to
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, we haven't had
Ali Leonard: race
Christopher Hooper: a race in a
Ali Leonard: Beler and whoever wins gets to be the
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: while.
Tyram: It is time for us to start
Ali Leonard: real one.
Tyram: taking down your enemies, but apparently not murdering
Ali Leonard: Um, I mean, we'll just kind of see how it
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: them. Want to be torn up if they end up getting
Ali Leonard: goes. Yeah. If there's like a
Luke Neverisky: So be it,
Tyram: murdered.
Ali Leonard: house fire, you know, don't save
Christopher Hooper: I feel like this was the least annoying Victor has ever been.
Ali Leonard: them.
Luke Neverisky: right? Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: So,
Tyram: Absolutely. Yeah, that is 100%
Ali Leonard: Well, now he's got a sweetie.
Christopher Hooper: um
Tyram: sure. Are Victor and
Christopher Hooper: yeah,
Tyram: uh and Scarlet canonically a
Ali Leonard: So, he said they were
Justin Hale: That's
Christopher Hooper: I don't know. while
Tyram: couple
Christopher Hooper: they
Ali Leonard: kissing. I mean, I'm not going to write a romance novel
Christopher Hooper: work. Damn
Tyram: I
Ali Leonard: about it, but
Tyram: mean, there's only time to write so many romance
Ali Leonard: I will say that a nerd falling in love with another
Tyram: novels.
Ali Leonard: nerd is big in the alley with Hazlewood
Christopher Hooper: it.
Ali Leonard: community. So I mean it's the every
Tyram: Is it
Ali Leonard: book is the same exact book. It's just like copy paste it
Tyram: common to see people from like the same like click like uh as romantic partners? Don't they usually like to do like different worlds or
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, that's
Ali Leonard: but Yeah, usually.
Christopher Hooper: You
Ali Leonard: Yeah, her books specifically are like she's super nerdy
Tyram: whatever?
Ali Leonard: and quirky and is definitely autistic and then he also is
Christopher Hooper: think?
Ali Leonard: autistic and is also very nerdy but very tall with
Ellis Taylor: one. He's autistic, but he's
Ali Leonard: dark hair and brooding
Luke Neverisky: Mhm. Oh,
Ellis Taylor: hot.
Ali Leonard: eyes. Yeah, she never uses the word autistic, but it's
Christopher Hooper: Okay, this
Ali Leonard: like we
Christopher Hooper: sounds like my kind of literature. What is her
Ali Leonard: know Ali
Luke Neverisky: it's
Christopher Hooper: name? Ellie
Tyram: Is that just your
Justin Hale: He's
Tyram: pseudonym?
Ali Leonard: Hazelwood. I would be a freaking millionaire
Christopher Hooper: Hazelwood. Are you
Tyram: Are you math?
Ali Leonard: if I was. I
Christopher Hooper: Oh, contemporary romantic comedies with STEM themes. I like
Ali Leonard: wish. Yeah. Women in STEM. The one about diving is really funny because both of them are like Olympic level divers and also go to like Harvard or
Christopher Hooper: it. Is
Tyram: No.
Ali Leonard: something and are premed and I'm like, "Oh,
Ellis Taylor: Jesus. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: that is that called the deep
Ali Leonard: great." Yeah. The Deep
Ellis Taylor: Overachievers.
Christopher Hooper: end?
Ali Leonard: End. I read it in like one car
Christopher Hooper: Nice.
Justin Hale: What?
Tyram: But I do love the idea that um Olivia is the only one who suspects that Iro is not a
Ali Leonard: ride.
Ellis Taylor: No, I absolutely love that. Like I'm becoming con conspiracy theorist with like the two moons and Ira is not human, but I'm also
Tyram: human.
Ellis Taylor: 100%
Ali Leonard: I mean, the romance novel definitely has him with wings, but that's just because that's a
Ellis Taylor: right. Yeah, it's just because it's hot. Yeah, totally. I'm like, "Guys, he's not
Ali Leonard: thing. And you're like, "No, this is this is it." And we're like, "Oh, yeah. What
Ellis Taylor: human." We also,
Ali Leonard: are you talking about? He's a hot bat. I don't think
Ellis Taylor: it's also funny because we also know the dragons can look like humans. It's happened in
Christopher Hooper: Heat.
[02:00:36]
Ali Leonard: so.
Ellis Taylor: front of us before, but you guys are
Tyram: That's true. That's something we 100% know for a
Ellis Taylor: like, "Olivia, come on." like no.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. My only thing is if we make the book with Iro and Luna, isn't she already supposed to be in like a romance with another dragon?
Tyram: fact. Oh s***. That's right, isn't it?
Ali Leonard: I don't want to get
Christopher Hooper: Heat.
Tyram: Like, yeah. Isn't Luna she's with the sun
Ali Leonard: smoted over
Tyram: dragon or whatever,
Ali Leonard: it. So, like I don't want her to be
Tyram: right?
Ali Leonard: like, you know, mad at
Ellis Taylor: Maybe we can work. We
Tyram: Well, maybe she's just a maybe she's just a supporting character and
Ellis Taylor: can Yeah, that's what to say. What if she's like her
Tyram: not like a romantic
Ali Leonard: me. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like maybe she's like a beautiful
Ellis Taylor: piss?
Tyram: couple.
Ali Leonard: ethereal goddess living her best life.
Tyram: So that does leave an
Ali Leonard: Women in STEM.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: opening for whoever wants to be the romantic lead of the Arrow
Luke Neverisky: It's
Christopher Hooper: You know what? You know a woman who's probably pretty
Luke Neverisky: true.
Christopher Hooper: smart. Eldora, god. God of the art artificial
Tyram: novels. Hell yeah. We're
Ali Leonard: smelled
Luke Neverisky: Smell
Tyram: making it
Ellis Taylor: I
Tyram: happen. Oh man.
Ali Leonard: aura.
Luke Neverisky: it.
Ellis Taylor: mean, if he's 500 years old in the book, then his love interest clearly has to be like an 18year-old. y old human
Christopher Hooper: man. Oh
Tyram: Well,
Ellis Taylor: female. That's how that
Christopher Hooper: yeah, of course.
Tyram: he he was hatched he was hatched
Ali Leonard: Absolutely.
Tyram: like I want to say like the oneird point of like the last campaign. So, how
Ellis Taylor: works. Yeah. Actually, I think Olivia might be older than
Tyram: long has it been since the previous like only like a couple hundred years
Ellis Taylor: him cuz she was alive when all that was happening. Okay,
Tyram: ago? Olivia is in fact older than Iro. I know that for
Ellis Taylor: that's
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. So they could
Tyram: sure. like he was born during
Ali Leonard: Absolutely. Robin the cradle.
Ellis Taylor: right. Yeah.
Tyram: the campaign and I think you were alive for the campaign, right? So
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: take
Tyram: yeah, of the party members, you're the
Ellis Taylor: Okay, that's
Tyram: only one older than he
Ellis Taylor: fine. Maybe her imagined one is aged up so he's like matching an age instead. He's like maybe like I don't know. She's
Tyram: is. I mean, when you're
Ali Leonard: just a couple years older
Ellis Taylor: like a No,
Tyram: centuries old, does like a few decades really make that big of a difference
Luke Neverisky: Listen.
Ellis Taylor: it doesn't.

Ellis Taylor: Has it been
Christopher Hooper: up, y'all. I spent so much gold.
Ali Leonard: So now let's give her the
Ellis Taylor: like a year since we got the plants or
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: spaceship at

Ellis Taylor: That's
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. That's
Tyram: right? Oh,
Ellis Taylor: wild.
Christopher Hooper: right. Hey, it's
Tyram: man. Oh, but it's going to work
Ali Leonard: Let's
Christopher Hooper: a big project.
Tyram: like the uh the bastion thing from the new rule set,
Christopher Hooper: Um, I guess we try to do that. Um, I feel like it's up to y'all. If y'all want to invest in it, you can. But I feel like,
Ali Leonard: see.
Christopher Hooper: um, the Bastion system is like homework. It's like good homework. But
Tyram: right?
Ali Leonard: Oh, I don't do well with
Tyram: Well, some of the timets in it are kind of f*****. Like it's like it takes like months to like put on a
Ellis Taylor: What?
Christopher Hooper: um yeah. And god forbid something
Tyram: play, for
Christopher Hooper: take months to
Tyram: example. Oh. Um I think it's on DMD Beyond, but like uh in the 2024 rules, basically they tried to add some mechanics for
Ali Leonard: homework.
Christopher Hooper: do.
Tyram: the players having like a base of operations. They call it bastions. You can add like a pub and it has like mechanics associated with it. You can add like a playhouse. You can add like a
Ellis Taylor: in our pocket
Tyram: a cleric sanctuary, you know, s*** like
Ellis Taylor: village.
Tyram: that.
Ellis Taylor: Interesting. What about beach with pin coladas? Yeah.
Tyram: Theoretically, I mean, that's canonically there.
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Um, my my
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: canonical idea of it was that it was mostly a like Morton Kanan's like uh pocket tower or whatever it is. Um the like mage spell to to open a portal to like a uh your own like castle. I don't know. They do it in uh in Critical
Ellis Taylor: They did something similar in Adventure Zone, but they
Christopher Hooper: Role uh season
Ellis Taylor: called it the pocket spa where there's Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: two. Yeah, let me try to find that
Tyram: or is it like Morning Kind's
Christopher Hooper: spell. Yes, that's what it is. Magnificent mansion.
Tyram: Magnificent Manor or something like that?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that's right. And I always thought that that was like a really cool spell, but also just
Tyram: Or
Ellis Taylor: Oh Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: RP, meaning like you have to spend a seventh level spell to use this like cool space. Um, so anyway, that's that's what I'm imagining this uh you being like is uh basically an artificer's version of uh Morton Kynan's Magnificent
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Tyram: Hell
Christopher Hooper: Mansion. Cool. Well, um I'm a little sick, so I'm gonna um head off
Luke Neverisky: Sounds
