Ellis Taylor: Oh
Ali Leonard: it's just it's just that and it's just written
Ellis Taylor: god.
Christopher Hooper: Are they all just like incredibly LWD ones,
Ali Leonard: out. A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor." She says, "How often do I have to do that?"
Christopher Hooper: too?
Ellis Taylor: Oh
Ali Leonard: And there's like 10 of this.
Christopher Hooper: That's pretty
Ellis Taylor: god. Come on.
Christopher Hooper: good. All right. Well, shall we
Tyram: Let's just do that
Christopher Hooper: roll? Um, cool.
Tyram: very
Christopher Hooper: Man, what happened? What happened last time? Does
Tyram: thing.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. I just missed last week because
Christopher Hooper: anyone even know?
Tyram: What were you here for last?
Ellis Taylor: until
Ali Leonard: I was baking.
Tyram: Okay. Okay. Um, so you remember that
Ellis Taylor: he walks on top of
Tyram: there were black holes like appearing at the the top of
Ali Leonard: Yes.
Tyram: our pocket village. Well, turns out the black
Ellis Taylor: me.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Boy
Tyram: holes were void devils or something. They were like these like horrible creatures made out of like empty space that had like stars swirling around them and uh they had like black hole
Ali Leonard: devils. Dang it, I missed
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: attacks and s*** like that. They whipped us with like negative
Ellis Taylor: Thanks for coming.
Ali Leonard: it.
Tyram: energy. Um,
Ellis Taylor: But we're all set. He's letting me go. He's letting you
Tyram: uh, we, well, we fopped them. You know, we kicked their ass and
Ellis Taylor: go. Pretty
Tyram: everything, but there was like a lot of like cool moments like, uh, Brew like hit a crit with
Ellis Taylor: easy. Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase.
Tyram: his force cannon and like, uh, it's like this big like ga gun blast with one of them. Uh, Livia got eaten by one, but, uh, Brew
Ellis Taylor: I get that reaction
Ali Leonard: I got
Tyram: managed to kill it fast enough that she could get out. Um,
Ellis Taylor: feelings and he
Ali Leonard: you. Huh?
Tyram: Silas Silas had a cool thing where he got to teleport
Ellis Taylor: feather
Tyram: and help Naomi uh save the crowd from getting like hit by a uh picnic table thrown across the the the the courtyard or whatever. So, uh yeah, we had a pretty cool fight and
Ellis Taylor: me.
Tyram: then um we find out during the fight and a little bit after that, um those things are running a muk because um that dragon that I have trapped in my dragon orb used to like keep them in check. And so that's
Ali Leonard: Keeping the dragon
Tyram: a that's another wrinkle on the whole question about uh yeah,
Ellis Taylor: What? Bob, you look great this
Tyram: the dragon and the dragon orbs. So, um, uh, one of
Ellis Taylor: morning. Did you do something different with your son? What do you want,
Tyram: the things I need to do is like have a conversation with Astro here. Like, you know, try to
Ellis Taylor: Sally? this guy.
Ali Leonard: inside.
Tyram: come up with like a a working, uh,
Ellis Taylor: No, I noticed last
Tyram: an open line of communication rather than just me showing up and be like, I see you sus, you know, like every
Ellis Taylor: thing. You're all aware of
Tyram: time. Um, after that, we talked with Luna. Uh, Luna,
Ellis Taylor: our town's proud history.
Tyram: um, oh, I don't know if that actually came up. Sorry, that I skipped I buried the lead there. Um, Luna manifested inside of our pocket
Ellis Taylor: our job and our
Ali Leonard: Is she cool? Is she
Tyram: village. It was connected
Ellis Taylor: pleasure.
Ali Leonard: cool?
Tyram: to uh Liliana sang a uh song during
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, she's very
Tyram: our fight with the void devils which actually seemed to do a lot of damage to them. And it also
Ali Leonard: Yes.
Tyram: like uh created a tether to Luna who uh
Ellis Taylor: cool. I
Tyram: showed up and she's just uh not physically there but she's like
Ellis Taylor: mean you get
Tyram: metaphysically there. It's uh it was in the notes, I think. So, that's kind of hard to explain,
Ali Leonard: Yes. How's she
Tyram: but
Ali Leonard: doing?
Tyram: um better like she's like able to
Ellis Taylor: No one
Tyram: like put her thoughts
Ali Leonard: That's
Tyram: together inside of this pocket village at least, you
Ali Leonard: good. It's really not
Tyram: know? But she's still in rough shape and she's still like she like severely
Ali Leonard: great,
Tyram: weakened. She acknowledged it's like even if we did like resurrect her,
Ali Leonard: right? Did she said what
Tyram: she'd probably just get like one shot
Ellis Taylor: station. the
Ali Leonard: she
Tyram: again. Um well, okay. So, she actually gave us a few avenues
Ellis Taylor: horse. So, what do you want to
Ali Leonard: needed? Great.
Tyram: we can pursue. Um we can uh go to Elderan and uh work with the Twilight Company, uh who Victor apparently is going to be our uh our
Ellis Taylor: do? Seems like my mind has
Tyram: liaison for um and blow up a bunch of Elderan
Ali Leonard: Well, we like
Tyram: like temples and s*** like that. Yeah, I mean we hate Elder
Ellis Taylor: been. I'm so taking you to dinner.
Tyram: Deran, so you know that's that's up our alley.
Ellis Taylor: That's okay. Stickers.
Tyram: Um, and uh, Scarlet found
Ellis Taylor: Bessie to work with you.
Ali Leonard: that.
Tyram: locations of all the other dragon orb sites. There's one in
Ellis Taylor: Bessie
Tyram: uh, Gnome Territory in Wyol. There's
Ellis Taylor: Bessie here is Bessie Road
Tyram: one in the orc territory, which apparently is the Warsaw
Ellis Taylor: machine ever built. I'm hereby sentencing you to community
Tyram: Warong, not Warsaw, but Warsong uh, Republic
Ellis Taylor: service. You're going to fix the road under my
Ali Leonard: on
Tyram: now. And there's one in Goblin Enclave, which
Ellis Taylor: supervision.
Ali Leonard: the turtle.
Tyram: uh on the turtle, which I don't think we if I don't know if we were going to make it all
Ellis Taylor: We're going
Tyram: the way there tonight anyway, but I feel like we should have Justin for that one.
Ellis Taylor: to get you up this week, Bessie, and you're going to pour nice. You got to be
Christopher Hooper: It's a long road.
Tyram: Just Hey, Martha, you're a little louder in the
Ellis Taylor: kidding me. You start there where the road begins. You
Ali Leonard: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: So, yeah, jealous
Ellis Taylor: put it down there.
Christopher Hooper: for once. Wow. Um, it's a long road. I mean, all of these are multi-session adventures, so
Tyram: background. For sure. Yeah. like they're like uh they're arcs it
Ali Leonard: okay. Maybe that's
Tyram: sounds like. Oh, but um and then I think we also said that while we're still in a grayport, we can also try to uh f*** around with the Iron Claws. Um you might have some race stuff we can do and um we still need to go see Jasper at some
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Thank
Tyram: point. So, I think that's the long and short of it from last
Ali Leonard: Great. Dang. Our factory
[00:10:00]
Christopher Hooper: you.
Ali Leonard: fresh pocket village has holes in
Tyram: time. Well, it's stabilized now. It's It's cool now. Apparently, as long as Luna is there, um it's going to be relatively stable, but I guess, you know, that's uh not something we can take completely for
Ali Leonard: it. Okay. Does she need crafts or
Tyram: granted. Um, well, she also seemed to like the idea of uh us setting up some Liliana concerts to try to bolster her
Ali Leonard: something?
Tyram: uh her worship and fa Oh, sorry. I One thing I did completely miss out on. Another thing we can do to help Luna is go to
Ellis Taylor: Oh, do you think my god
Tyram: uh I sorry I can't remember the name of the village but like the underwater place that was toer's uh like
Ali Leonard: That didn't
Tyram: mission zero or
Ellis Taylor: session zero.
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah. Hi
Tyram: something like that. the one that didn't. Sorry.
Ali Leonard: happen.
Christopher Hooper: J.
Tyram: Hi, J. Okay. Um, so yeah, we can go there. Apparently, she has an enclave of uh worshippers there and we might be able to help her if we went
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: How helpful are they underwater? Damn, they chose the worst
Tyram: there. I don't f****** know. I didn't pick a
Ellis Taylor: It's interesting that the moon has followers
Tyram: spot. Well, I can see like moon and the tide and like, you know, water. I can see the connection
Ellis Taylor: underwater.
Ali Leonard: spot. Let's just get all the words.
Tyram: there.
Ali Leonard: All the werewolves.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, there we
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Ellis Taylor: go.
Christopher Hooper: cool. Um, so let's pick up from there. Any other additional notes,
Ellis Taylor: I mean,
Christopher Hooper: Ellis? Maybe.
Ellis Taylor: probably. Yeah. Not really.
Christopher Hooper: Maybe.
Ellis Taylor: No, sorry. I was explaining the movie to Ted a little bit while we were Taylor's doing a recap, but I think Oh, yeah. Stylus smells like Oh, yeah. Silence is
Tyram: Oh, no. No, Brew is
Ellis Taylor: stinky.
Tyram: stinky. Yeah. Not going to let that
Ellis Taylor: Brew is stinky. We did uh Bruce Stinks.
Tyram: slander go unanswered.
Ellis Taylor: And now you
Christopher Hooper: All
Tyram: Jeez.
Ellis Taylor: smell like the dragon is what I wrote in my notes.
Christopher Hooper: right. Mhm.
Tyram: Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the void devils could smell uh the dragon
Ellis Taylor: But yeah, we did end up going to the spot.
Tyram: on me.
Ellis Taylor: Oh, Taylor, there's a direct connection from the Lotus to the
Tyram: Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's a permanent connection to
Ellis Taylor: Lotus through the pocket
Ali Leonard: Well, that makes it easy for you to do
Tyram: the lotus through the pocket
Ellis Taylor: village.
Ali Leonard: to smash, you know, This
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. And we can go to the spa whenever we
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: village. So, I feel like that was like an important to silus thing, not like an important to like the story
Christopher Hooper: It's been um it's been
Tyram: thing.
Ellis Taylor: want.
Christopher Hooper: it's been very present in the in the campaign. So,
Tyram: That is
Christopher Hooper: um
Ellis Taylor: I know exactly where we
Christopher Hooper: cool. Um All right. So, you all um have a relatively nice evening in the pocket village and you
Ellis Taylor: are. We don't need
Christopher Hooper: eventually you eventually leave and uh you
Tyram: true.
Christopher Hooper: pop out
Ellis Taylor: anything.
Christopher Hooper: and well um you pop out and you might look around. Um you're you're back
Tyram: We're back
Ellis Taylor: Oh, sorry. I have I
Tyram: in IRS workshop,
Ellis Taylor: have a question about I have a question about the pocket village. I feel like I just don't remember. What's like the visual when we go into it? Is it just like a door that appears? Is it like a little tent and we walk inside
Christopher Hooper: It's a doorway.
Tyram: right? So, is it like an actual like
Ellis Taylor: it? at the doorway.
Tyram: door we have to carry around? Because that actually sounds kind of fun.
Christopher Hooper: Um, I I was planning on it being much easier, which is being like um like um
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Yeah, it
Christopher Hooper: a Dragon Ball Z capsule type
Tyram: Oh,
Ellis Taylor: is.
Christopher Hooper: thing. Um so you see that um you all file out and and Scarlet uh like basically closes the door and then has a key that locks it. And when she locks
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: it, it collapses down into a capsule and she just uh puts it in her pocket. That's Wow, that was that worked
Tyram: sick. Okay.
Ellis Taylor: Oh,
Tyram: Well, I mean, like,
Ellis Taylor: she's
Tyram: it eventually worked great after, you know, the the portals to
Ellis Taylor: going.
Tyram: a hell dimension of monsters were closed.
Christopher Hooper: great. Oh, but I mean we have that here too. So, you
Tyram: Yeah. You know what? That's
Christopher Hooper: know, and
Tyram: entirely fair.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: that's our that's our bad,
Tyram: Oh. Um, yeah. Oh, but a bit of IRO lore that might be able to be dropped in here. Um, he likes to take a picture with um whenever like on somebody in his workshop finishes a project, he likes to take a picture and like, you
Ellis Taylor: I'm being
Tyram: know, like have like a Polaroid he adds to like a scrapbook that he
Ellis Taylor: so you
Christopher Hooper: right?
Tyram: makes. He calls it his
Christopher Hooper: cuz that's his
Tyram: horde. It
Ellis Taylor: understand a
Christopher Hooper: treasure. Um, fantastic.
Tyram: is
Christopher Hooper: Um, you uh you all are
Ellis Taylor: Don't worry, they know who we
Christopher Hooper: um so you're in Ira's workshop.
Ellis Taylor: are now. They're going to tell their friends. You'll
Christopher Hooper: Um and you're actually right in the catalytic chamber. Um scrunched in there. Uh, and um I don't think Iro followed you in, did he? I don't think so.
Tyram: I don't think
Ellis Taylor: see. He better not have.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so you kind of like look
Tyram: so.
Christopher Hooper: through the Cadillac chamber has this like submarine like looking port uh window and you look outside and it um it it looks very quiet and you see an Iro uh asleep in a chair um right outside. Um, and Scarlet starts twisting the uh
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: the submarine lock thingy uh to open the the door depressurizes all that s***. And uh with that, Iro kind of like,
Ellis Taylor: I can go when this road is done. That's the deal,
Christopher Hooper: oh, you're you're back. Wow. How was
Ellis Taylor: right?
Christopher Hooper: it? Y'all were out there a while, huh?
Tyram: It was about a day for us. Was it about a day for
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Well, just about just about. It's about uh 6 a.m.
Tyram: you?
Ellis Taylor: Oh, good. Ally, were you there when we were describing the little sections of the pocket village when it was forming and we
Tyram: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: each got to kind of make our own little
Tyram: I think she was there. I think that
Ellis Taylor: corner? I don't think
Christopher Hooper: here. That was the end of the
Tyram: was like the end of that
Ellis Taylor: so.
Ali Leonard: Yeah, I think I
Christopher Hooper: session before last. So she she should have been
Ellis Taylor: She Yeah.
Tyram: thing. Lis had like his gold fountains and like I think Olivia was like
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: there.
Tyram: the
Ellis Taylor: beach with a cabana boy that looks like a little bit like
Ali Leonard: was I can't remember what I
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Ira. So,
Ali Leonard: said.
Christopher Hooper: Right. Yeah, you were there. I don't know if you
Tyram: beach.
Ellis Taylor: she's
Ali Leonard: I did say something and I don't remember what it
Christopher Hooper: were contributing or not. Um
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: and um cool. So, what I heard was y'all are potentially going to make a stop at Lady Viper next. Is that
Ali Leonard: was. Who's
Tyram: Well, um, okay. So, I guess the list of people in
Ali Leonard: that?
Tyram: Greyport, we want to go see, um, want to go see
Ellis Taylor: you when you go and
Christopher Hooper: right?
Tyram: Jasper. We do want to go see Lady Viper, find out what her plan is for the for the
Ellis Taylor: I do the road my way. I don't
Tyram: domestic terrorism that we're going to commit. And
Ellis Taylor: mean to be bruise your but you probably go zero to 16
Ali Leonard: Just
Tyram: uh is there like a
Ellis Taylor: 3.5 years you got nothing to
Tyram: alley race stuff here that we need to go
Christopher Hooper: Um, well, you can check the newspaper to find out where all the racists are in the
Tyram: do? That's true. Like it conveniently their locations are a
Christopher Hooper: city. They didn't have to be.
Tyram: matter of public knowledge at all
Ellis Taylor: worry No, no,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, so that's easy to find out if you
Ellis Taylor: no.
Christopher Hooper: wanted to.
Tyram: time. Okay, I'm good with whatever you do.
Ellis Taylor: I think we should uh I think we should talk to Lady Viper because it'll help us decide if we want to do that immediately
Tyram: Good
Ellis Taylor: or if we want to go do the Dragon Balls and then come back because it might make sense to kind of have a dragon on our side depending on what we do with the Dragon Balls or have the dragon fully locked up before
Tyram: point. Yeah, I can
Ellis Taylor: we go after the Eldor Empire. Don't need any
Tyram: see that could make sense. That's another thing we might try to do today is I
Ellis Taylor: help. I
Tyram: could go ahead and try to like talk to Astro.
Ellis Taylor: work. Yeah. You get a temperature on uh let him out or
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um All
Tyram: Okay. So, yeah, let's let's go see
Christopher Hooper: right. Uh yeah, so Victor is
Tyram: Lady Viper.
Ali Leonard: Who is Lady Viper?
Christopher Hooper: with you. Um he he was in the pocket village.
Tyram: She's a member of the Twilight Company and she's an explosive
Ellis Taylor: not.
Tyram: expert who uh Victor has been completely tea timing on
Ali Leonard: How do we know
Christopher Hooper: Sure.
Tyram: brew with. I don't think we've ever met her, but um Victor told us that uh she had this plan for
Ellis Taylor: She was like one of
Tyram: Elder. Yeah, if we
Ellis Taylor: the heads of the uh Twilight company
Ali Leonard: her?
Christopher Hooper: Do you
Tyram: did meet her, it was in passing a really long time ago. But we never really
Ellis Taylor: beforehand.
Ali Leonard: We'll
Christopher Hooper: do you want to have this conversation in
Tyram: leave. Oh, in
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: person? Yeah, in person. I'm right outside your door.
Ellis Taylor: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: Um, uh, in character. Um, if you do, uh, Victor says, "Oh, she's she's
Ellis Taylor: sure.
Christopher Hooper: like she runs the place. She's like the head of the Twilight Council."
Ali Leonard: see. No, you probably did. I just don't listen
Christopher Hooper: Sorry, I don't know if I dropped that
Ali Leonard: to you.
Christopher Hooper: detail. Uh, all
Tyram: characters. That's a good policy.
[00:20:00]
Ellis Taylor: I mean, I clearly knew that I'm a great detective and I'm good at my job even
Ali Leonard: Um, do we like the Twilight
Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah, I think
Ellis Taylor: though I'm
Tyram: You might compete for the title of world's greatest detective
Ellis Taylor: retired. All right, honey. pushing
Ali Leonard: Company? She has the
Tyram: someday.
Ellis Taylor: me to the edge.
Ali Leonard: mug.
Ellis Taylor: I do. I may or may not have gotten one
Ali Leonard: on the
Ellis Taylor: every year for my plethora of
Christopher Hooper: they're
Tyram: You guys really needed to coordinate mugs. I mean, you can't all get her the same
Ali Leonard: battles. Oh, no. One of us would get it
Ellis Taylor: grandchildren.
Ali Leonard: for Yeah. And it would But it would say the year
Christopher Hooper: Oh, that's
Ellis Taylor: Yes. And it also become kind
Ali Leonard: on it, so it was
Ellis Taylor: of Yes, it would. So you would know that I was the world's
Ali Leonard: different again. Yeah. That year as
Christopher Hooper: sweet.
Tyram: mug.
Ellis Taylor: greatest detective that year as well. Yeah. And
Ali Leonard: well.
Ellis Taylor: then eventually it just be kind of became a right of passage for the great grandchildren and the great great grandchildren. It became like their turn. It's a
Christopher Hooper: I hope everyone's good at uh you know clay sculpting or
Ellis Taylor: thing. Honestly, those ones were my
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Some of them are leaky,
Ellis Taylor: favorite. I especially
Ali Leonard: but you
Christopher Hooper: whatever. Oh,
Ellis Taylor: bet a little leaky, but it's the
Ali Leonard: know. All
Christopher Hooper: the leaky ones are the best. You can like titrate into some plants or
Ellis Taylor: character. I hear you, but
Ali Leonard: right. All
Christopher Hooper: something.
Tyram: So yeah, it's a
Ali Leonard: right. Well, I was six. What
Christopher Hooper: Speaking of
Tyram: good thing you guys were terrible at making
Ali Leonard: are you gonna
Christopher Hooper: being good at being terrible, um, let's go to the toilet
Ali Leonard: do? Do we like the Twilight
Christopher Hooper: company. Yeah, we
Tyram: mugs. I feel like we're like okay with
Ali Leonard: Company?

Ellis Taylor: Good. Bad
Ali Leonard: Are they like what are they
Christopher Hooper: do.
Tyram: terms. Well, okay.
Ellis Taylor: guys.
Ali Leonard: okay?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, we're awesome.
Tyram: It is true that last time. Well, okay. No, that was the resistance. I'm confusing the
Ali Leonard: There's too many factions. Am I
Christopher Hooper: Yeah,
Tyram: Twilight Company with Yeah, there was the resistance back in Iron in uh in High Forge, but they turned out to be a bunch of just real pieces of s***. I'm associating them with the Twilight Company, I guess, because
Ali Leonard: right? Yeah, he's always
Christopher Hooper: seriously. Hey, mostly just that lady. I would
Tyram: Victor was there, too.
Ali Leonard: there. What's funny is they
Christopher Hooper: I was just doing my job. All
Tyram: I
Ali Leonard: tried to get us to save that lady. remember
Christopher Hooper: right.

Ali Leonard: Great. Great. You're right. Yeah, we have to check
Christopher Hooper: that is at the core the foundation of this

Ali Leonard: everybody now because some people they seem very good and normal and then
Christopher Hooper: society.
Ali Leonard: they're like, "Oh, praise Aldora." And then I'm I'm like, "Well, now I have to kill you." You know what I
Ellis Taylor: I don't
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. You're talking about
Ali Leonard: mean? Yeah. I mean, he for other reasons I also want to kill, but that's just kind of his
Christopher Hooper: Victor. I
Tyram: Oh, and we also travel with a a singer and a an explosives expert,
Ellis Taylor: know.
Ali Leonard: vibe.
Christopher Hooper: understand.
Tyram: but uh well, he was a little uh a little put out that Victor was working with other explosives experts.
Ellis Taylor: advice. Use all pre detergent. The number
Christopher Hooper: Oh, well, maybe
Ellis Taylor: one recommended by
Christopher Hooper: there was a misunderstanding. You see, I'm mostly logistics. I just keep this
Ellis Taylor: dermatologist detergent for your skin.
Christopher Hooper: organization going. Sure, I know a thing about explosives, but Victor is
Ellis Taylor: Wash with all clear. What does coming home to the delightful
Christopher Hooper: the main explosive expert for us at the Twilight
Tyram: So,
Ellis Taylor: sense of blood like the
Christopher Hooper: Company. We're here
Tyram: hey
Ellis Taylor: best? Welcome home.
Ali Leonard: the
Christopher Hooper: in your movie.
Ali Leonard: process that to this point. There's
Christopher Hooper: Um um so Bruce should
Tyram: Mara.
Christopher Hooper: not feel any sort of envy and I am Victor's boss for all intents and purposes. There's nothing
Tyram: Victor
Ali Leonard: still I'm going to be honest. I don't
Christopher Hooper: between us. That
Tyram: did a terrible job explaining
Ali Leonard: think Victor knows what's going
Christopher Hooper: surprises me none at all.
Ellis Taylor: someday. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: on.
Christopher Hooper: No.
Ellis Taylor: How on earth can you stand to keep him around? Like yes, I understand he's good
Ali Leonard: I think it's really
Ellis Taylor: at his job, but like he is hard to work
Ali Leonard: that I feel. Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: All you have to do is tell him what to do and
Tyram: that
Ellis Taylor: with.
Ali Leonard: he'll do it. He'll do it for sure. He'll do
Christopher Hooper: he'll do
Ali Leonard: it. That's the way
Christopher Hooper: it. I don't talk to him very
Tyram: But you know, in his
Ali Leonard: to
Tyram: rambling ways, he did tell us about a uh an ambition of yours to uh infiltrate Elder Ran and blow
Ali Leonard: go.
Christopher Hooper: much.
Tyram: up some sites of
Ali Leonard: Got two
Christopher Hooper: That's right. We have a tactical
Tyram: worship.
Christopher Hooper: plan to pull the rug out from underneath their operation. Unfortunately, their power is multiffold. One, um, they have a technology stronghold. They control the vast majority of violescence on the continent. They've been hoarding it for several hundred years at this point. actually more like um just under a hundred years they uh took advantage of the sacking of high forge to extract as much value from that city as possible. They have the due to that they have the most advanced technology and machinery and they've used that to also establish some of the bestmies and um something that came from their greatest minds is uh the fact that religion uh actually creates power and the only thing that religion is is belief. And so they sought to make themselves a religion. And they realized that competitors um are truly um competing in belief. And so they are working through the minor gods right now with decimating and destroying them as they will. And um I hoped to undermine that effort. It's very easy to target places of worship though unseammly um inherently those are places of power. Additionally, I hope to strike um directly into the heart of the city in Elderin. I want to target they have a space seapport uh in the harbor of the city where they do their space launches. I would like to destroy that. I would also like to destroy their mainet caches of violescence because those may ena enable a chain reaction. This is what we're working on. I don't I don't think it takes a genius to know that these are the most valuable assets they have, but I'm open to other ideas as well or any other insights you might have in um destroying them. We haven't been able to reach their space um station. So I I don't have a plan for that
Tyram: Okay. Okay. Um, can I have a real insight to see like how like straightforward with us she seems like she's
Christopher Hooper: yet. Yeah, sure. Go
Tyram: being? Like you have engendered an
Ali Leonard: And how
Tyram: inherent mistrust with every NPC that I meet
Ali Leonard: flirty is she being with
Christopher Hooper: ahead.
Tyram: now. Okay. Well,
Ali Leonard: me? Support
Christopher Hooper: Um Yeah, I
Tyram: let's answer the real questions here
Ali Leonard: level. Great. Right. Great.
Christopher Hooper: think we need several insight checks going
Tyram: first. All
Ellis Taylor: We are
Ali Leonard: because we're all focusing on different things. Oh, well, you're gonna hear
Christopher Hooper: on. You've got a 20.
Tyram: right. Um, I got a 20.
Ali Leonard: yours. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. I'm going to hear
Ellis Taylor: not. I got an
Ali Leonard: Well, I got a
Christopher Hooper: something. What do
Ellis Taylor: eight. I believe everything she's telling us, which is good because Ella bought it,
Ali Leonard: 16.
Christopher Hooper: you He You got a 16. Okay. And Elsa or
Ellis Taylor: too.
Christopher Hooper: Olivia, what do you think you're trying to incite?
Ellis Taylor: her kind of belief in what she's doing. I have some follow-up questions too about like her
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, I
Ellis Taylor: personal story which we can get to in a
Christopher Hooper: will um go from worst to best. Um
Ellis Taylor: sec.
Christopher Hooper: so, Olivia, you know, she uh she's telling us this plan. It seems all right. Kind of shallow. Um but like you know right on um Ellswith uh honestly her attractiveness is distracting um and
Ellis Taylor: Hey, look. I'm not. No, I'm
Christopher Hooper: she's very capable and you you definitely get the feeling that
Ellis Taylor: not.
Christopher Hooper: like she's out of your league in a way. Um, but in a way
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Ali Leonard: I know for sure. We
Christopher Hooper: of like um
Ali Leonard: all know
Christopher Hooper: it it it's kind of like uh you don't even like think about it because she's just so like put together, but in a way you think
Ali Leonard: this. Sure. And
Christopher Hooper: that that might be isolating for her because everyone kind of treats her like
Ali Leonard: I'm just a normie. So,
Christopher Hooper: that. So yeah, but like maybe you know like maybe that's what
Ali Leonard: hello. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. Come down
Christopher Hooper: she's been missing the whole time. You're not
Ali Leonard: here.
Christopher Hooper: sure. You occasionally make eye contact with her and you're not sure if
Ali Leonard: Right. She's very professional. She's very
Christopher Hooper: like it's specific or if you're just like looking at the
Tyram: This does sound like a like Pride and Prejudice like type of situation in the works.
Ali Leonard: professional.
Christopher Hooper: room. Um, and then Silus,
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: with your 20, uh, what did you
Tyram: I rolled a uh a seven, but it bottoms out at as if I rolled a 10. So, I
Christopher Hooper: roll? Okay,
Tyram: got a 20. I can boost it if you want me
Christopher Hooper: gotcha. Um, you you'll get more if you boost
Tyram: to. I'll boost
Ali Leonard: He's boasting it.
Christopher Hooper: it. Get up
Tyram: it. What's the point of having
Christopher Hooper: there.
Tyram: these What's the point of these abilities? I don't use them, right? Uh
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. 24. Okay. Not
Tyram: uh
Christopher Hooper: quite the 25, but we can get you a little bit more.
Tyram: 24.
Ali Leonard: Can I give
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: Yeah. Um anything
Ali Leonard: you genius flash of genius
Christopher Hooper: okay. Flash of
Tyram: else? Oh, actually, yeah, you could flash a genius,
Ali Leonard: you instead of
Ellis Taylor: I can bless you
Ali Leonard: me? We really need to know this.
Tyram: mate.
Ellis Taylor: too. I
Ali Leonard: South Africans.
Christopher Hooper: genius. Sure. Go
Tyram: on the table
Ellis Taylor: never do
Christopher Hooper: ahead. Use them if you got
[01:00:00]
Ellis Taylor: that. Oh, it's a saving throw. Never mind. Left doesn't
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: them. All right. So, Flash of Genius on top of
Tyram: here. Do you have
Ellis Taylor: help.
Christopher Hooper: the 28. So, what?
Ellis Taylor: I don't have
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: 28. You're plus four on Flash of Genius right now. Is that
Ali Leonard: I'm pulling it up. I think so. the internet
Christopher Hooper: right?
Tyram: guidance?
Ali Leonard: talking. Where is Flash and Genius? I was under reaction. Sorry, it's a plus
Tyram: It's whatever your mod
Ellis Taylor: guidance. What are you doing there, son? You're going to miss your
Christopher Hooper: Okay. 28. Anything else?
Ellis Taylor: race. Don't worry. police. Sorry,
Christopher Hooper: Ellis, are you are you doing guidance or anyone got guidance
Ellis Taylor: what? I don't
Christopher Hooper: or anything? Okay. Okay. Cool. All right.
Ellis Taylor: I don't have guidance. I'm not doing
Ali Leonard: four.
Christopher Hooper: 28. 28. with that
Tyram: is.
Christopher Hooper: 28.
Ellis Taylor: anything.
Ali Leonard: in the third. I
Christopher Hooper: Okay. You
Ellis Taylor: Look at
Christopher Hooper: see you see a few things, Silus. And at first at
Ellis Taylor: that. All
Christopher Hooper: first you had no doubt that she
Ellis Taylor: right, Luigi, give me the best set of
Ali Leonard: hear
Christopher Hooper: believed, you know, everything she was telling you
Ellis Taylor: black. Luigi knows
Christopher Hooper: fullheartedly. And then I don't it
Ellis Taylor: what you want.
Christopher Hooper: as you you kind of
Ellis Taylor: They landed into the
Christopher Hooper: like separated yourself and it was this moment and you you looked at Elizabeth and you looked how
Ellis Taylor: You're the
Christopher Hooper: dumbruck in love she was and you're like this this woman more than more than she is a strate strategist she is uh
Ellis Taylor: expert.
Christopher Hooper: a person of charisma, a person to sway people. And more than she is telling you a
Ellis Taylor: But you were
Christopher Hooper: plan, she's trying to impress on you
Ellis Taylor: ready. Huh?
Christopher Hooper: that uh she's trying to almost impress you with the fact that she is going to like destroy the Golden Empire. Um, and behind you just are able to pierce the veil of all this put togetherness, all this looks and the ambiance and all of that. What you actually start to realize and see through is that she has cobbled together this like very rough crew of mischief makers and anti-conformists and anarchists and people who have been hurt by the Elder Empire and is trying to steer them towards It's her goal of of revenge. You remember what she said before, the Elderin Empire destroyed her whole family. And now you see with that 28 pulling back. This is this is not a political revolution. This is a personal revenge story. and she is working through her own ability of persuasion and charisma to say yes that this is the team that you want to be on if you hate the Elderin Empire and want to change things. Um but as you deep look in deep, she doesn't have a plan for after the ashes come. That is her That is her end goal to destroy. So that's what you get with the
Tyram: Okay. All right. Well, so that not necessarily that we don't trust her then, just that like we don't need to lean on her too much. Uh that she doesn't have her s*** together as much as she like projects that she does.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, she just wants to burn it all. I'm
Ali Leonard: I can
Christopher Hooper: 28
Ellis Taylor: a little worried about like like say like
Ali Leonard: fix her.
Ellis Taylor: Jasper who
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I think you
Tyram: Okay. Honestly know I'm invested in setting up Ellsworth with uh
Ellis Taylor: left
Tyram: with Viper
Ellis Taylor: I'm I'm fine
Christopher Hooper: can.
Tyram: here.
Ellis Taylor: with I'm good game. Let's do
Christopher Hooper: Um, so yeah, she's continuing and and at some point she stops and says, "So, can I rely on you?
Tyram: Um, I want to
Ellis Taylor: it.
Tyram: establish psychic phone with uh with my pals here. We got that going for eight hours. Um, okay.
Ellis Taylor: Please send me
Tyram: Um, do you mind if we uh just kind of
Ellis Taylor: a
Christopher Hooper: You need to confer with one
Tyram: sit here in silence awkwardly for a
Christopher Hooper: another.
Tyram: moment? Yeah. All right. So, I I think of you guys. Um, okay.
Ellis Taylor: tow. I
Tyram: So, I I don't think she's bluffing us. I think she's like
Ellis Taylor: said,
Tyram: I think our goals align when it comes to striking an elder,
Ellis Taylor: "Look,
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: but she wants to burn that mother down.
Ali Leonard: and so do
Tyram: Well, true, but I don't think she cares about who all gets hurt in the
Ali Leonard: we. Okay. So, we'll fix her with that. I mean, we'll do it our way. You know what I
Tyram: process. Well, I mean, we can still like work with her plan, but we can
Ali Leonard: mean? Use your
Tyram: like use our Yeah, we can use our like
Ellis Taylor: there's
Ali Leonard: resources to save civilians.
Tyram: mad skills to try to like
Ali Leonard: Sure.
Tyram: Yeah. Well, we can try to add some finesse to this
Ali Leonard: Okay. Maybe we can kind of bring her back from the edge a little
Tyram: process potentially. So, I think I think we can throw in a lot with
Ali Leonard: bit.
Tyram: her.
Ellis Taylor: stupid. I mean, what's her do you get a temperature on her view of refugees or is she just like kill them
Tyram: I'm only getting vibes here. Uh, Liv, I don't know. Uh, I I don't I'm
Ellis Taylor: all?
Ali Leonard: Let's ask her
Tyram: not reading your mind or anything, so I don't
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. I mean, is it like
Ali Leonard: about civilians. Yeah. Yeah. Let's ask
Tyram: know. Sure. I mean,
Ellis Taylor: bloodthirsty vengeance vibes? Kill them all. They all did it. Or is
Tyram: that's that's something we can like like talk about
Ellis Taylor: it like
Tyram: with like, you know, like so she understands like lines that
Ali Leonard: her. Yeah.
Tyram: you guys aren't willing to cross. And you know what? I'm gonna go and say it. I'm against mass murder. So
Ali Leonard: Oh, great.
Tyram: yeah. Um weird. Not willing to
Ali Leonard: Yeah, we're all learning today. We're all learning about each
Christopher Hooper: Man, the character development we've got going on is insane. I'm
Tyram: cross. Silus has never been like a monster. He's
Ali Leonard: other. He's ever been, I guess, presented
Christopher Hooper: just kidding. Yeah.
Tyram: mostly just been like a
Ali Leonard: with the opportunity of mass
Tyram: rascal. I don't know that. Yeah, I would. As far as I've thought about's backstory, no,
Ali Leonard: murder. Yeah. So, now that it has, he's decided no.
Tyram: that's never come up. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Like when presented with a
Ellis Taylor: I like to think it was Naomi
Ali Leonard: That's all they owe
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: choice, Naomi and
Ellis Taylor: that uh brought him around. Naomi and
Tyram: also his friends. I mean,
Ellis Taylor: her baby.
Tyram: like if Silus honestly has like an angel on his shoulder type of figure, it is probably
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I just pro. That's how I feel
Ali Leonard: me. She's all of our conscience.
Tyram: Olivia. But um okay, so yeah. Um, back to
Ellis Taylor: too. Bru of
Tyram: character. Uh, I guess Brew would be the
Ellis Taylor: devil on the other. Sorry, my bra my
Ali Leonard: Brew for sure.
Tyram: devil. I'm not so
Ellis Taylor: brain just had an image of like Olivia on one shoulder and Brew on the other.
Ali Leonard: Bruce is like, "Blow it
Tyram: much the devil on K's shoulder as much as like the let's get this done in
Ali Leonard: up. I have a
Tyram: a more fun and exciting
Ellis Taylor: By the way, let's do it. Let's do
Ali Leonard: bomb.
Tyram: way.
Ellis Taylor: it. We can always blow it
Tyram: Yeah, there are two wolves in
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: Silus. Okay. Okay. But uh Okay. So, all right. I think we can take her up in this offer.
Ellis Taylor: up.
Tyram: We can also uh should we try to enlist her help with boosting Luna? Because in order to uh like tearing down Elderan is something that certainly would
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Tyram: help. Building up Luna would also help too. You know, we can try to like
Ali Leonard: Yeah, let's check her vibe on it.
Tyram: bring them Yeah. like bring them closer together, like raise uh Luna's ceiling and lower Eldora's floor, you
Ellis Taylor: So,
Tyram: know? She can help set us up with like concerts and like logistics for that sort of thing for like Liliana to enkindle some fate, you know? So, do you
Ellis Taylor: mama where
Tyram: guys think we should tell her about
Ellis Taylor: bud kind of
Tyram: Luna?
Ellis Taylor: aligns with what she wants. Um yeah, I think yeah, I still would like to get her temperature on um
Tyram: Let's talk about that with her
Ellis Taylor: what she's going to do with all the people if she just cares
Ali Leonard: and how we get up there. I do have a silly little idea if
Tyram: right
Ellis Taylor: about Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: going to join him at the race and be his pit
Ellis Taylor: He's sad cuz he
Christopher Hooper: crew.
Tyram: Well,

Tyram: like some of them do. I feel like most of the people in town are pretty useless for
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Hello, race. Okay, I'm back. So, I feel like a couple of our goals align here. So, we are in talking um you
Tyram: that.
Ellis Taylor: know Luna, right? The true moon goddess, not the stupid fake
Christopher Hooper: Yes. Yes. I know. What was there before the
Ellis Taylor: moon. Did you Did you witness it? Did you see it? Cuz

Ali Leonard: We saw her fall.
Christopher Hooper: it.

Christopher Hooper: Yes, my my family has always kept track of which moon is which and it was tragic to see it
Tyram: that.
Ellis Taylor: moon. What um what was your
Christopher Hooper: explode.
Ellis Taylor: family? What did your family do? Why did Elder like kill all of your family? I lost character,
Christopher Hooper: We we were a wellestablished family in Great.
Ellis Taylor: but
Christopher Hooper: We well to put it frankly, we were one of the few long old families in this part of town that supported the free states. And
Ellis Taylor: Focus.
Christopher Hooper: Elderin is trying to consolidate power
Ellis Taylor: Speed.
Christopher Hooper: within their empire and their connections even in
Ellis Taylor: Speed.
Christopher Hooper: Great. I remember there was a ball. I was supposed to dance with one of the one of the boys, but I was sick that night. Couldn't make it. And so I stayed with my aunt and well they they in the evening after everyone was drunk and had retired to their rooms they they killed my whole family and I was left young without any more guidance and but a very clear road ahead of And uh it's still a decent amount of money left for my family's
Ali Leonard: I'm very sorry for your loss, by the
Christopher Hooper: fortune. It happened a long time
Ali Leonard: way. That doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt, though. I'm sorry. That sucks.
Christopher Hooper: ago. Thank you.
Ellis Taylor: Can I do a history check to see if I remember
Christopher Hooper: Um, um, I don't
Ellis Taylor: anything about this?
Christopher Hooper: think I
Ellis Taylor: I wouldn't hear news of like a family massacre. 50-ish years
Ali Leonard: Freaking
Christopher Hooper: don't I think the DC is tough for you, but you can you can try
Ali Leonard: Anastasia.
Christopher Hooper: it if you want. It's going to be pretty tough. Uh,
Ellis Taylor: ago. It's gonna be pretty high.
Christopher Hooper: probably probably 18 or higher. Now 20. Oh man, I didn't know we would do this
Ellis Taylor: I'm That's so
Christopher Hooper: tonight. I didn't know we do this tonight.
Ellis Taylor: exciting.
Christopher Hooper: You um something in your memory about
Ellis Taylor: Oh.
Christopher Hooper: this. you um you remember some targeted um some very covert targeted killings happening in Grapefruit around this time. It was um you went to like a like detectives conference where you got to like meet with other detectives. Um and just one evening you met with some detectives from Great Court and they after a few drinks very quietly and were like you cannot tell anybody but they had the Lrange family killed. Um, and only the daughter was left. Um, and you you think this might be the last daughter, uh, Alexandra Lrron. There's a green.
Tyram: Oh
Christopher Hooper: You're muted, but you seem excited, so that's
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, it makes sense why they're at the zoo and all that
Christopher Hooper: good. And there's a
Tyram: s***.
Christopher Hooper: racking in the
Ellis Taylor: stuff. And there's a rack king. And she's got she's got like creature friends. It makes a lot of sense now. It makes so much
Christopher Hooper: basement.
Ellis Taylor: sense. Look at that
Tyram: Oh man, I'm so glad
Ellis Taylor: storytelling. Um, oh
Tyram: that is in like here like our successors in here. She was one of my favorite NPCs last
Ellis Taylor: man. Yeah, me too. She went from being
Tyram: time.
Ellis Taylor: like super annoying to really
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. The biggest thing is I remember Butler being like super
Ellis Taylor: awesome.
Ali Leonard: Is that the same guy?
Christopher Hooper: smoothie.
Tyram: Well, he is a
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. No, the super
Tyram: human, so he could easily still be alive after all this time. Yeah. I wonder at what point like it just
Ellis Taylor: suit. I remember the Was it the
Tyram: becomes canon that humans live for hundreds of
Ellis Taylor: mayor?
Tyram: years.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Maybe it's the viollesence sneaking in like seeping into their bodies and making them all live longer.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, the
Ellis Taylor: Okay. I don't I think Olivia is going to keep that information tight. She's not gonna reveal it to Lady Viper that she she knows kind of knows who she
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, so, okay. So, um, let's see. What was the last thing we were talking about? Um,
Ellis Taylor: is.
Christopher Hooper: so if you're willing to work with me, I can work with you. You say you have other plans are could align with this. I'm all ears. Maybe you scratch my back, I can scratch

Christopher Hooper: you, and um she leans over
Ellis Taylor: Don't tear yourself up
Ali Leonard: great. No,
Christopher Hooper: deeply and takes your hands

Ali Leonard: teens. Super proper. Super upright.
[01:20:00]
Ellis Taylor: Isn't it
Ali Leonard: All right. Um, and you just got to keep feeding me. Um, we have plans about raising Luna up
Ellis Taylor: beautiful?
Ali Leonard: with concerts, kind of using their
Tyram: prop.
Ali Leonard: own boat of kind of we started one cult accidentally. I don't know if you heard about that. So, I think we're going to try that vibe, but with the with Luna. Um, we've
Christopher Hooper: So, you're going

Ali Leonard: just We The first one was
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: We're pretty good at
Ellis Taylor: What was
Ali Leonard: an
Christopher Hooper: Um, the abomination let
Ellis Taylor: the first
Ali Leonard: accident. That was an accident. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: loose in the depths of uh, High Forge. I believe the reports
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was an accident. I didn't realize what a cult was. Um, I might
Tyram: it.
Ali Leonard: be part of a cult accidentally. I
Ellis Taylor: call?
Ali Leonard: feel like there's a fine line and I am not 100% sure.
Christopher Hooper: are
Tyram: I'm going to think of Olivia. Oh my god, she's blowing
Ali Leonard: I go on tangents. So, that's one thing.
Ellis Taylor: Do you want me
Ali Leonard: Um, another
Ellis Taylor: to She's going to think of Elizabeth like touch my hand if you want
Ali Leonard: one, another one was something
Ellis Taylor: to tag
Ali Leonard: about bombs.
Tyram: this
Ellis Taylor: out. Oh,
Ali Leonard: and her face is just like beat
Ellis Taylor: honey.
Ali Leonard: red. And I'm just like
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. So, that's a great summary of our
Christopher Hooper: Um, Lady Viper is still in front of you and
Ellis Taylor: plan.
Ali Leonard: looking, oh my
Christopher Hooper: she's now Claps your hand says you're doing great. I want you to keep
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: god. Oh my god. This is the worst day of my life. There was Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: going. A second goal for the for
Ali Leonard: So, um, Liliana is great and
Christopher Hooper: the moon goddess
Ali Leonard: she isn't evil as far as I am aware and Luna has said that she likes her concerts. And, you know, if Luna's on board, then
Christopher Hooper: Luna. Okay.
Ali Leonard: let's do that.
Christopher Hooper: Where is
Tyram: And yeah, like here in Greyport where Eldora's uh influence isn't as strong, it might be a good place to
Ali Leonard: Also, establish.
Tyram: kind of like establish a strong base of the faithful, you
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: it? Okay. And you've you've
Tyram: know,
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: spoken to
Tyram: for Sorry, we might have buried the lead on that one. Yes, we have made
Christopher Hooper: Luna? Wow. That's incredible.
Tyram: contact with
Christopher Hooper: I thought she I had heard rumors her her body was found in the ocean, but
Tyram: Luna. Well, it turns out she's only
Ali Leonard: Yeah. She's only mostly dead. She did fall in the ocean. Very still
Christopher Hooper: she
Tyram: mostly
Ali Leonard: very beautiful. kind of crazy. Um, very large, like very long. And we have a pocket village and she's
Tyram: dead.
Ali Leonard: there. And not large, she's
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. You have a puck village.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I propose getting converts from into our cult in the
Ali Leonard: normal. A bucket
Ellis Taylor: pocket village and kind of creating like a little commune. But who really likes that
Tyram: Well, in order to be more
Ellis Taylor: planet cult?
Ali Leonard: call. Sure. Yeah, you're
Tyram: effective, they need to be out here in the real world or the material
Ali Leonard: right. Oh, you want to see our pocket
Christopher Hooper: Sorry. What is a pocket
Tyram: world. I guess the pocket
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: village? Do
Christopher Hooper: village?
Tyram: village
Ali Leonard: we We have it, right? Yeah. You changed in it. Oh, changed in
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah, I've got it right
Tyram: Do we have it or does Scarlet have
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: here. Sorry, I've just been
Tyram: outside? I like Scarlet just like
Ellis Taylor: Scarlet somewhere.
Christopher Hooper: quiet.
Tyram: rumaging through a mini fridge over on the side of the room or
Christopher Hooper: Hey, do you have any Lacroy in
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: here?
Tyram: something. Yeah, Scarlet would like
Ellis Taylor: No, sorry. Only
Christopher Hooper: Um, it hurts my tongue.
Tyram: Lroy.
Christopher Hooper: It's spicy
Ellis Taylor: Spendriff spicy
Christopher Hooper: water. Um, yeah. No, we can we can fire it up in here if
Tyram: It's
Christopher Hooper: we're ready.
Ali Leonard: Spicy. Yeah. So, it's like
Christopher Hooper: Okay. I I don't know what we're firing up, but
Ellis Taylor: water. What's
Ali Leonard: a doorway into a alternate dimension where we have a little
Ellis Taylor: pizza? How's
Ali Leonard: village. Scarlet made. Well, I helped,
Christopher Hooper: um Oh, that's uh
Ellis Taylor: pizza?
Ali Leonard: but Scarlet did a lot of the heavy lifting
Christopher Hooper: fascinating.
Tyram: like
Ali Leonard: on this one. You did a
Christopher Hooper: Oh, no. We We all did it as a
Ali Leonard: great job, Scarlet. It looks
Christopher Hooper: team.
Tyram: Yeah, all of us really pitched in on this
Christopher Hooper: You gave a lot of gold,
Ali Leonard: great.
Christopher Hooper: Silus. I
Tyram: one. Well, I arranged for a lot of materials to be
Christopher Hooper: was Yeah, you you definitely
Tyram: uh
Christopher Hooper: pitched in. Anyway, um who's
Tyram: brought
Christopher Hooper: counting? Here it is. And she throws her capsule and out
Ali Leonard: guys.
Christopher Hooper: folds like a piece of paper unfolding over and over and over again. It folds out into a door. Um, and there's a nice beautiful uh door. It says lady vibrator just is like, "Oh."
Ali Leonard: Absolutely.
Christopher Hooper: Um, okay. And this is a pocket
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: village, a multi-dimensional
Ali Leonard: Um, we just invented we just I guess opened it like an hour ago for the first time or like a day ago. It
Christopher Hooper: doorway. Okay. Well, I suppose I have some time um later
Ali Leonard: works. I opened the door for her.
Christopher Hooper: on. Uh it opens and um it's like blank. Um you kind of see a very like small like listless room. Um
Ali Leonard: Oh, the village that we
Christopher Hooper: what did you expect to see there, Ellsworth?
Ali Leonard: were in before. Do I have to go in
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Do you think
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Ali Leonard: first?
Christopher Hooper: do you Yeah, you're going in first. Um, do you think you would be like very distracted right now? Like what do you think
Ali Leonard: probably I think no. Yeah, I would be
Christopher Hooper: would be top of mind for as she's walking through the
Ali Leonard: like because I would open it and then like kind of step through so that she can. So my first thought would be like oh my god I have so much to show her. Okay so we can show her the garage and all of the engines that I've been working on. She's going to really like that. I think she's going to be
Christopher Hooper: store?
Ali Leonard: really impressed with that. And then the village is beautiful and there's that gold fountain that he did and then the beach with Iro and Iro was there and then the beach was there but then there was this big mountain and the sky was a weird color but it was like a lot and it's like a big rainbow and like she firing off like at a mile a
Ellis Taylor: He's just
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, so like popping out of like the room and ground is just expanding and like first the garage off to the side
Ali Leonard: minute
Christopher Hooper: gets shoved to the side and now a village is like and then
Ellis Taylor: like
Christopher Hooper: that gets moved out of the side for this beach and then Iris says, "Hey." And then like sky opens up and it's like purple then green then red then green it like flips and then it is like a rainbow over it. Um it
Tyram: I think of you too. So I don't know how Iro would feel about all these Iros you guys keep imagining. It's like cabana boys here. I I don't know. I don't
Ellis Taylor: Maybe he's flattered. I also
Christopher Hooper: says
Tyram: know.
Ellis Taylor: specifically said it's like a dwarf version of Ira because she's
Ali Leonard: How many are too much? Yeah, for
Ellis Taylor: like tall men are too much.
Ali Leonard: sure. And then
Christopher Hooper: That'd be gross. This is incredible. Uh, you made
Ali Leonard: like I think so.
Christopher Hooper: this. Very
Tyram: Yes, she
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was
Ali Leonard: It's It's a little different than
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Tyram: did. She was part of a
Ellis Taylor: like the brains behind this entire
Ali Leonard: I
Tyram: team, but like the other people on the team were Scarlet and Brew. So really Smith had to do a lot of like the the logistical work
Christopher Hooper: Wow, that's
Tyram: here.
Ali Leonard: remember.
Christopher Hooper: really that's really impressive.
Tyram: I don't know if you've met Brew, but you know, getting Brew to work productively is a is a pretty big
Ellis Taylor: thing.
Christopher Hooper: else. I um I hate to admit it, but I have personas on you all and I I've been tracking you for quite some time. But this is
Ali Leonard: Oh, none of the racing stuff
Christopher Hooper: fantastic. It's great to see. Great work. What are we doing in
Tyram: challenge.
Ali Leonard: is true, by the way. if you have my
Christopher Hooper: here?
Ali Leonard: records. I didn't do that
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Ali Leonard: stuff.
Christopher Hooper: okay.
Ali Leonard: So, and then in my brain I'm like, Olivia, can you fix this? Why does it look so ugly? Something's
Christopher Hooper: Um
Ali Leonard: broken.
Christopher Hooper: um and uh you see the glade uh by uh the the I guess the ocean um where Luna seems to be residing on a couch. Uh she kind of just pops there um as like everything is forming. Um and then lady fiber point says oh
Ali Leonard: retired. I hope
Christopher Hooper: so that is the embodiment of Luna in this
Ali Leonard: so.
Christopher Hooper: space. Okay. Okay. Um and you want to
Ali Leonard: change. Well, that was one idea,
Christopher Hooper: build a commune here. Is that right?
Ali Leonard: but I think we do need a physical them to be in a physical world, but we also do need them to be able to visit Luna. You know what I mean? It is
Christopher Hooper: Okay, that's complicated. Um, can I rely on you
Ali Leonard: very Yes.
Christopher Hooper: all to figure that
[01:30:00]
Ali Leonard: We haven't really kind of We're still in the planning stages. This does also have a door to another dimension where Silus's girlfriend lives. So endless
Christopher Hooper: out? Okay. And that's at this point the like the door the doorway to to Las Vegas pops up and the golden fountains are like
Ali Leonard: possibilities facility.
Christopher Hooper: like, oh, that door.
Ali Leonard: I got to stop thinking
Christopher Hooper: Cool.
Tyram: We need to kind of like establish like a permanent
Ali Leonard: stuff. Yeah, I shouldn't go first. Somebody
Tyram: layout for this place in our mind.
Ali Leonard: should always go
Christopher Hooper: Um, um, is there any like uh like Freudian slips that you do through this
Ali Leonard: first. I have no I mean
Christopher Hooper: process?
Ali Leonard: probably
Ellis Taylor: How do you think it would manifest in the
Tyram: It's really anything that pops into our head that could be really
Christopher Hooper: I was going to let you decide
Tyram: dangerous.
Ali Leonard: Yeah, cuz it's nothing
Christopher Hooper: if you wanted that to happen because I think it would be really funny.
Ali Leonard: like cuz she's more like entranced than like
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Ali Leonard: you know what I mean? It's not
Christopher Hooper: okay. I'm just imag I'm just
Ellis Taylor: space? Imagining or
Ali Leonard: like
Christopher Hooper: thinking like are there is there like a whole
Ellis Taylor: fantasizing.
Christopher Hooper: table of like glass goblets of like ice water
Ali Leonard: Literally, I was just thinking I was like, she she's going to imagine some ice
Christopher Hooper: and
Ali Leonard: water so she can have
Christopher Hooper: like yeah or something like that and then you looked at it and it pops out and stuff like that. Um, it just like almost like boop boop boop boop boop.
Ali Leonard: some glitching.
Christopher Hooper: Um, uh, and the the lady viper looks to you and says, "Okay, well, how about this? The plan for Elderin is not ready yet. Um, I think we're looking to start infiltrating the city in close to a week. We should have the resources in place. If you'd like, you can spend the time in Greyport. We I believe we've given you housing, but you've also have this pocket
Ali Leonard: between
Christopher Hooper: village. Um, you can start working on this cult and maybe we can go from
Tyram: I don't know. I
Ali Leonard: isn't a great word.
Tyram: don't love the word cult. Maybe, you know, we're going to uh expand the congregation. Like, this is this is a legit
Christopher Hooper: there.
Tyram: religion. We're it's an actual goddess, you
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, the thought is that like as we target these Elderon
Tyram: know.
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: targets, they lose their faith. We give them somewhere else for their faith to go. At least that's kind of what I got from Luna. It's like as Elderon gets weaker, she gets
Christopher Hooper: Belief is
Tyram: And we can spend our time in great port like boosting
Ali Leonard: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: strong.
Ellis Taylor: stronger.
Tyram: her up where she's ready to like you know be more like give her like some base strength before we
Christopher Hooper: I
Tyram: move into any enemy territory you know.
Ali Leonard: Certainly.
Christopher Hooper: think because everyone saw the moon explode, she gives a symbol of resistance. Um, we could build on
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh, that's a great
Ali Leonard: that
Christopher Hooper: that. And if we have
Ellis Taylor: idea.
Christopher Hooper: if you're if you're somehow able to bring any
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: of her essence into our world to show others or maybe we can figure something out with this pocket
Ali Leonard: championship.
Christopher Hooper: thing. That would be a huge sign that even with the most powerful weapon we've ever seen, we can fight back. We're we're not helpless. Yeah, I I think I can work with this.
Ellis Taylor: Oh, that's right. Um, that does bring me back to kind of our list of targets. Is the weapon on your target
Christopher Hooper: Sorry. What is
Ellis Taylor: list? Is the weapon that brought down Luna on your target
Ali Leonard: Please let us share.
Christopher Hooper: that? Sure. If I had a way to get up
Ellis Taylor: list?
Ali Leonard: that another question.
Christopher Hooper: there.
Ellis Taylor: Oh, it's on the space
Ali Leonard: So, two questions. Are you targeting
Tyram: Focus.
Ali Leonard: civilians? We did mean to ask
Christopher Hooper: Yes. And we're targeting
Ali Leonard: that in this we're blowing up everything
Ellis Taylor: station. Also, what's your stance on refugees before we go too far?
Ali Leonard: situation.
Christopher Hooper: civilians.
Ellis Taylor: Like is it all Alderans must die or just like hey if they're like not into it anymore and leave then it's
Ali Leonard: like
Ellis Taylor: cool. Or
Christopher Hooper: I am looking to hold the ones that killed my family
Ellis Taylor: people that are like screw
Christopher Hooper: responsible. I don't think that's all the people on Neran,
Ali Leonard: children. Probably not the children.
Ellis Taylor: this. Do you do you happen
Ali Leonard: Um, I'm sure she has names.
Christopher Hooper: but I'll do
Ellis Taylor: to have
Ali Leonard: Yeah, I'm sure she's very
Ellis Taylor: names? I'm I'm guessing you don't want to share those with
Ali Leonard: organized. That's a long list. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: It's a long
Ali Leonard: Um, second question. So, to get up to the moon up there, I'm because that's where everything is. The f moonoon. Um, I'm assuming all those shuttles are
Ellis Taylor: us.
Ali Leonard: like monitored like
Christopher Hooper: list. They have the
Tyram: I they
Ali Leonard: Z girl of the 21st century. We
Christopher Hooper: spaceport.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I was about to say, didn't we have
Tyram: could well we do have those schematics for our own rocket
Ali Leonard: do a rocket ship. How does anybody
Ellis Taylor: a
Ali Leonard: know the layout of the moon? Is it very
Tyram: ship. It's
Ali Leonard: large? Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: What is
Ellis Taylor: spaceship? I mean, it's only like this big. How big could it
Tyram: a
Ali Leonard: but all right. So,
Ellis Taylor: be?
Tyram: moon. Olivia, that's a really embarrassing thing for you to
Christopher Hooper: it?
Tyram: take. Hey, Luna's corpse was bigger than that, you know? So, the moon's at least
Ellis Taylor: There's met there's there's like
Tyram: that big,
Ellis Taylor: metaphysical power versus physical power. You know, belief in
Ali Leonard: I don't know. Can we do a race
Ellis Taylor: physicality can definitely wax and
Ali Leonard: on the moon and bring all of our s*** up there
Ellis Taylor: wayne. Oh, that would
Tyram: right? Oh, that dude's bad as
Ali Leonard: then? You know what I mean? Like
Ellis Taylor: be a hilarious way to get us on the moon. It's like disguise it with a
Tyram: hell.
Ali Leonard: everybody's got to get your cars
Ellis Taylor: race.
Tyram: Honestly, like that being the climax, like the big like climactic race
Ali Leonard: up. Blowing up the
Tyram: where Elizabeth gets her name back, that would be so
Ali Leonard: moon through this
Ellis Taylor: Feels like a Mario Kart
Tyram: sick. Or like we rebuild like
Ali Leonard: race on the real
Ellis Taylor: level.
Tyram: the original moon and you have your race
Ali Leonard: moon. I was just trying to think of a way to get up to the moon, but we'll need equipment. You know what I mean? So, it's like, okay, it took
Tyram: there. We need to finish our
Ali Leonard: us seven years to make this pocket village. You want me
Tyram: rocket.
Ali Leonard: to make a
Ellis Taylor: Yes.
Ali Leonard: rocket? If I remember to do it, I'll do
Tyram: Look, I don't Hey, look. You guys rely on me for all like the the scheming and we rely on you for the nerd
Ali Leonard: it. Yeah. If you need a rocket, I'll make a
Tyram: s***. We need to figure this
Ali Leonard: rocket. Hey, Scarlet. We need a
Tyram: out. We need a rocket.
Ali Leonard: rocket. I'll help.
Christopher Hooper: What? Yeah.
Tyram: We have the
Ali Leonard: and brew will help. Yeah, we got the
Christopher Hooper: Okay. We know how to do it. It should be
Ali Leonard: schematics. I think it's just
Christopher Hooper: easy. Yeah. We
Ali Leonard: time money in
Christopher Hooper: need like also a lot of
Tyram: schematics. Damn
Ali Leonard: space because it's a
Christopher Hooper: money. Yeah. and like um highly uh limited
Ali Leonard: rocket. I think that's
Christopher Hooper: materials, but
Ellis Taylor: Well, good thing we've at Ira's workshop. Honey, you got a
Ali Leonard: too small.
Christopher Hooper: otherwise
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: uh I workshop.
Ellis Taylor: great Why are you
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I Oh, you're not laughing. Okay. Yeah. No, I was
Ellis Taylor: laughing? It's a specifi specialized facility. It's not like you're bu building this thing all at
Tyram: Are you bad at IRO's
Ali Leonard: But I don't
Ellis Taylor: once. You're going to be doing it in parts and pieces. You're going to be
Ali Leonard: think you're going to want us to see us carrying parts of a rocket ship from Iris workshop to here or to wherever the warehouse
Tyram: workshop? I don't know if it makes a lot
Ali Leonard: is.
Tyram: of sense, but I'm taking it very personally that you're badmouthing IRO's
Ali Leonard: I think Iris's workshop is the best place
Christopher Hooper: really
Ellis Taylor: testing in the
Tyram: workshop.
Christopher Hooper: silence. Why do you give a s*** about
Tyram: I just feel like a
Ellis Taylor: world.
Tyram: really kindred spirit with that workshop for some reason. It's hard
Ali Leonard: ever.
Tyram: to explain
Ali Leonard: Hey, Lady Viper. And is there something I could call you that's shorter than Lady Viper? All. All
Christopher Hooper: Iro? My
Ali Leonard: right. Oh, that's coded in a different
Tyram: why.
Ali Leonard: way. Anyway, do you have a place
Christopher Hooper: lady
Ali Leonard: we could build a rocket ship?
Christopher Hooper: No, I
Ali Leonard: Okay,
Tyram: I feel like we're being a bit dismissive of Iro's workshop
Ali Leonard: we're not being dismissive. I'm thinking it's too small for a rocket ship. Let's ask
Tyram: here. Damn it. I can't say it fits a dragon
Ali Leonard: Ro. We'll ask
Tyram: because that doesn't keep with the gag. Damn
Ali Leonard: Ro. He might have some ideas. We'll both do a rocket ship. Would
Tyram: it.
Ali Leonard: you like that lady Viper? My lady. Ma'am, that didn't feel right. Take Take away the last
Christopher Hooper: don't. Um, I can't I can't say no. Especially
Ali Leonard: one. All right,
Christopher Hooper: if it means we're going to blow up the moon.
Ali Leonard: cool. I
Christopher Hooper: Are you telling me you're going to give me the
Ali Leonard: mean, a fake moon.
Ellis Taylor: Daddy.
Ali Leonard: All right. Anyway, rocket ship. There's just like a bunch of moons popping up
Christopher Hooper: moon? Oh my gosh, I made you
Ali Leonard: in the She's like,
Christopher Hooper: blush.
Ali Leonard: "Let's all leave this
Christopher Hooper: Well, this has been uh informative.
Ali Leonard: place.
Christopher Hooper: Um, do we have a plan? We
Ellis Taylor: Mood.
Christopher Hooper: will head to Elderon in a week and in the meantime, you'll
[01:40:00]
Ellis Taylor: Heat.
Ali Leonard: Hey Scarlet, can we build
Christopher Hooper: see what kind of moon cult you can
Ali Leonard: a rocket ship in a
Christopher Hooper: build. No, absolutely
Ali Leonard: week? Okay, great. Cool,
Christopher Hooper: not.
Ali Leonard: cool, cool.
Ellis Taylor: Not with that
Tyram: Oh, you know what it sounds like? Sounds like someone's got a pretty
Ali Leonard: So, what if I helped? And what if Brew helped?
Ellis Taylor: attitude.
Tyram: defeist
Ali Leonard: And what if Iro
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah, I was
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: helped? Okay. What if we get other people to
Christopher Hooper: accounting for that. Maybe. Hey, you know who was really good at building
Tyram: attitude.
Ali Leonard: help?
Christopher Hooper: rocket ships? Those like uh I hear the Colossus in the
Ali Leonard: Okay, they're all gone.
Christopher Hooper: mountains. We should find them.
Ali Leonard: Um, and we have beef with them also. So, they killed our
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Tyram: Yeah, this guy stuck. And they're all
Ali Leonard: friend. So,
Tyram: dead.
Ali Leonard: um, but I just got to know a bunch of
Christopher Hooper: okay. Didn't we just steal his face
Tyram: Gone.
Ali Leonard: tinkerers. Do you know where a spaceship
Christopher Hooper: shut? Yeah,
Ali Leonard: is? Aldorans. Yeah. Aldorren. Aldorins. Aldor.
Christopher Hooper: the spaceport. Didn't Didn't that thing were supposed to blow
Ali Leonard: Aldor. They could steal a spaceship for
Christopher Hooper: up?
Ellis Taylor: or we can steal one. I feel
Ali Leonard: sure. It's less impressive, isn't
Christopher Hooper: I feel just like the
Ellis Taylor: like building our own would be better
Ali Leonard: it?
Christopher Hooper: difficulty. Yeah. No, I mean, sorry. I didn't want
Ellis Taylor: though. Yeah, cuz then we can make ours
Ali Leonard: I
Christopher Hooper: to undermine your thing. If we could steal it and say you built
Ellis Taylor: like rainbow. We can make ours look like a
Tyram: And I really hate the idea of having some
Ali Leonard: know. I don't really want to start it off on a lie. You know what
Ellis Taylor: taco cat.
Tyram: cost with the uh with the schematics that we
Ali Leonard: I
Ellis Taylor: Someone type
Christopher Hooper: it.
Ellis Taylor: taco cat spaceship into one of your AI
Tyram: use.
Ali Leonard: mean? It's just like taco cat
Christopher Hooper: It's just neon cat but with a taco instead of a pop-tart,
Ellis Taylor: things. Yes.
Ali Leonard: just Okay. Okay. Well, we'll need to figure out I need to talk to Brew
Christopher Hooper: right? Oh,
Tyram: I've got a really low bar for
Christopher Hooper: yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Yes.
Tyram: spaceship names and campaigns I've been involved with. I was doing a sci-fi campaign with some other people. They named the ship the pepperoni. I was so mad to name it that. I don't know. I don't
Christopher Hooper: Why?
Tyram: know. I
Ali Leonard: also. We should name
Christopher Hooper: Cuz it goes on
Ellis Taylor: How do you feel about us naming our group Taco
Tyram: just
Ali Leonard: our ship Taco Cat, but backwards.
Tyram: better I like that better than naming the At least there's like a story behind that.
Christopher Hooper: top
Tyram: Pepperoni was just f******
Christopher Hooper: cuz before it's sliced, it kind of looks like
Ellis Taylor: Cat?
Tyram: random.
Ali Leonard: Oh
Christopher Hooper: a rocket ship.
Tyram: No, there really was no
Christopher Hooper: All right. Well, I do have um some other stuff to get to. So, um but this has been a great meeting and um
Ali Leonard: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: I'll talk to you again soon. Uh can
Ali Leonard: Yeah, just uh the same door because
Christopher Hooper: I just
Tyram: reason.
Ali Leonard: otherwise you're going to a different
Christopher Hooper: leave? Okay. All
Ellis Taylor: Unless you feel like going to the
Ali Leonard: dimension. We do have a spa.
Christopher Hooper: right. She grabs
Ellis Taylor: spa. It's lovely over
Ali Leonard: Yeah. All
Christopher Hooper: a a glass of water and and walks through the
Ellis Taylor: there. Does the water immediately disappear as she walks out the
Ali Leonard: right. Yeah, but it was the principle of the
Christopher Hooper: door. It seems to
Ellis Taylor: door?
Tyram: I'm assuming pock I'm assuming that
Ali Leonard: thing.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Tyram: uh Silus already tried to pocket a bunch of the gold and like bring that out with
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: him and it probably didn't work.
Ali Leonard: I was about to go for a
Christopher Hooper: Know. Um All right. I I uh main

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Tyram: Okay. Well, um, while we're like talking to people and like deciding our course of action, I might need your guys' help. So, I'm going to try to like grab my
Ali Leonard: We should probably do that in here. Should we leave
Tyram: dragon orb and talk to Astro
Ali Leonard: her office
Christopher Hooper: this
Tyram: here. We can't bring the dragon orb in here. It
Ali Leonard: first? So, we should get out and then leave her office because that's a
Tyram: blows up like dimensional space.
Ali Leonard: little awkward if we're using up her office
Tyram: Yes. Yeah. We can't we can't ever bring the dragon orb
Ali Leonard: space.
Tyram: into the pocket village for the same reason we can't put the dragon orb in a bag of holding or a portable
Christopher Hooper: Never
Ellis Taylor: Cool. Did we leave it at home at our place
Ali Leonard: Oh, that's
Ellis Taylor: or Oh, that was a that was
Tyram: hole. Oh, Brew's holding on to it.
Christopher Hooper: forget.
Ellis Taylor: a decision. Silus, next time you do
Tyram: He held on
Ali Leonard: safe. Did you put it in one of
Ellis Taylor: something like that, you need to consult the group.
Tyram: to it during
Ali Leonard: his in
Ellis Taylor: He's probably trying to lick
Tyram: my scheme where I lied to you guys so that I could stab
Ali Leonard: LA. Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: Is this like when when Pippen holds on to the
Ellis Taylor: it.
Tyram: Helga. That worked out
Christopher Hooper: orb in in Rohan? I saw
Ellis Taylor: He's Yes.
Christopher Hooper: it. I saw
Ellis Taylor: Yes. I think it
Tyram: okay. Oh, I just didn't tell Brew he had it. I
Ali Leonard: but I was going to be That's what I was thinking. You just put in one of his
Ellis Taylor: becomes
Tyram: just put it in his bag without telling him.
Christopher Hooper: it. Um, all right. So,
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: pockets.
Christopher Hooper: you pop out of the office and um you see Lenny Viper like tickling her her cobra like such a
Ali Leonard: A we

Ali Leonard: snake.
Christopher Hooper: Slithers.
Ellis Taylor: snake comes over and like, "Oh my gosh, I love you. You're such a pretty
Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah. It like curls around your your
Ellis Taylor: dwarf." He tries to snuggle up on
Tyram: touch.
Christopher Hooper: leg. Oh, it
Ellis Taylor: El's. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: I just
Christopher Hooper: likes you. Do you do you like else, Mr. Slithers? That's a good sign. It means you're up to

Ali Leonard: like
Christopher Hooper: leave.
Ali Leonard: leave.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, excellent. It looks like you are

Ali Leonard: I'm not going to do that next time. Bye,
Christopher Hooper: prepared.
Ali Leonard: Jeeves. Immediately had off and
Christopher Hooper: Goodbye.
Tyram: All right. So, um I guess let's head back to the
Ali Leonard: into my flight
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, we'll go back to the
Tyram: brownstone or something. The brownstone should be like right across the street from where
Ali Leonard: suit. Yeah. Couple doors down.
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Super
Tyram: we are, right?
Christopher Hooper: close. Um, yeah, you had there.
Ellis Taylor: brand.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um, Brew is I don't
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: know what would Brew be doing right
Ellis Taylor: Trying to chew on the
Christopher Hooper: now.
Ellis Taylor: orb and too big to fit my
Christopher Hooper: I I want to say he's like taking it
Ellis Taylor: little goblin
Christopher Hooper: in a bag and like just swinging it
Ali Leonard: 999. I found this
Christopher Hooper: like around and like trying to smash
Ellis Taylor: mouth.
Christopher Hooper: it into walls and
Ellis Taylor: It would be great to drink brown water, but I cannot seem to get it open.
Christopher Hooper: stuff is a very good hammer.
Tyram: I take out some keys and like jangle them in front of
Ali Leonard: orb.
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Tyram: Brew. I take the orb. Okay. Oh, by the way, uh, Brew, uh, Lady Viper is not an explosives
Ali Leonard: Oh, you little jealous
Christopher Hooper: confident. I knew that the whole
Ali Leonard: goblin. Look at that little jealous
Christopher Hooper: time. Victor would never betray
Tyram: expert.
Christopher Hooper: me.
Tyram: I mean, honestly, I want to reiterate this as much as possible. Victor
Ali Leonard: face. Victor sucks.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, Victor
Ali Leonard: Who are you and what have you done with
Christopher Hooper: sucks. We all know
Tyram: sucks.
Christopher Hooper: that. We all know Victor is unreliable,
Ali Leonard: Brew? Okay, that's better. It's like
Christopher Hooper: but he is my best
Ali Leonard: we have a chainsaw among
Tyram: Oh, okay. Well, that's that's good to know, I
Christopher Hooper: friend. You are up there. In the dark
Tyram: guess. No, no,
Christopher Hooper: times when we thought Lady Viper
Tyram: no.
Christopher Hooper: was expert, you're you're top five
Tyram: No, no, it's it's fine. Whatever.
Christopher Hooper: famous. Hey. Hey. Why you
Tyram: Yeah. Just going to Let's
Christopher Hooper: mad?

Christopher Hooper: Oh, did I upset you? Come on. We can't have PC
Tyram: quick.
Christopher Hooper: to PC relationship changes while DM plays PC. That's not
Tyram: No, I probably should regard this whole conversation as
Christopher Hooper: right. This is an uncannon conversation. Come
Tyram: non-cannon. You're
Ellis Taylor: You can say whatever you want to him right now. It won't
Christopher Hooper: on. You hear that? AI notes don't even
Ellis Taylor: matter. Confess your undying love. Give him a
Tyram: right. I will
Christopher Hooper: notice. No, not
Ellis Taylor: wedgie.
Tyram: kill
Christopher Hooper: again. Okay, I make toast. You talk
Tyram: Brew.
Christopher Hooper: to dragon. No
Tyram: All right. So, okay. I need you guys to like Okay, we're going to form our little psychic network here. And um yeah, I'm ready when you guys
Christopher Hooper: problem. All right, I'll play some music. on your mind for me to
Tyram: are
Ellis Taylor: That's definitely
Tyram: Yeah, I like the
Ali Leonard: Absolutely.
Tyram: nice the whole time. All right,
Christopher Hooper: lose. I wonder if I can
[01:50:00]
Ellis Taylor: helping
Christopher Hooper: find a 10 hours of whatever the hell that song is. Um, cool. Y'all get in your commune circle. Um, Taylor, you remember what the what the deal
Tyram: ready?
Christopher Hooper: is when you do
Tyram: I need to Okay, so I need to arrange like uh that's for the ceiling. I can just touch the orb and talk to her, I think.
Christopher Hooper: this? You can and when when you
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: commune, do you remember what
Tyram: Right. Um I think like my mind enters like the void and uh
Christopher Hooper: happens? And I
Tyram: she like appears in front of
Christopher Hooper: think the stylist would also remember there's kind of like a
Tyram: me.
Christopher Hooper: assault on the mind and usually have to make a
Tyram: Yeah, like I need to make like a wizard,
Christopher Hooper: check. Yeah. So because you would
Ellis Taylor: You're holding my
Christopher Hooper: know that and would probably you're you're trying to prepare
Ellis Taylor: hand.
Christopher Hooper: um that's what you're trying to prepare for uh game mechanics wise if you need any boosts or anything from
Tyram: right? Yeah. Um,
Christopher Hooper: people. Yeah. Um,
Ellis Taylor: So
Tyram: is around to give me bar juice?
Christopher Hooper: that's what she's doing by singing this silly song from the
Tyram: Okay. Um, okay. So, I got bar juice.
Ellis Taylor: you're got my inherent plus three. And then
Tyram: Um, I can get I got I got the the paladin
Ali Leonard: Still
Ellis Taylor: I think let me double check my aura of devotion.
Tyram: boost.
Ellis Taylor: I can't. It says my note says immune to charm. I don't know if
Christopher Hooper: 90s. It's not a
Ellis Taylor: it's just me or if it uh goes to you
Tyram: Um, any I think anything
Ali Leonard: Um, I can
Christopher Hooper: charmer.
Ellis Taylor: too. Trying
Tyram: anything that applies any word that applies to you applies to the rest of
Ali Leonard: do immune to being
Ellis Taylor: to find it.
Tyram: us. I don't
Ali Leonard: frightened. I don't think that really
Ellis Taylor: Also, my aura aura of c my
Tyram: think that that applies. I could use flash of genius
Ali Leonard: helps. Okay. I didn't know if that would help at
Ellis Taylor: aura my aura of
Tyram: on standby and uh this time it's a save. So I think bless
Ali Leonard: all. I don't have glass.
Ellis Taylor: c. Yeah, the aura of court courage also
Tyram: does work for
Ellis Taylor: has you being a moot. You can't be
Tyram: this. Good.
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Ellis Taylor: friend. Where is it? Class. Let's go
Tyram: Good.
Ali Leonard: I can give you a plus one bonus
Ellis Taylor: there.
Ali Leonard: to AC and saving throws and resistance to all
Tyram: That's
Ali Leonard: damage, which is warding
Ellis Taylor: Night. You and your
Tyram: good. What's that
Ali Leonard: bond.
Christopher Hooper: All right, let's go ahead and head in and then we can see how high this uh we can make this. All right. So,
Ellis Taylor: allies. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: you start um you you put both hands on the orb and almost instantaneously you
Tyram: from?
Christopher Hooper: feel like you are falling into it. Um just um and you get this like sensation of being like sucked uh towards the center and and then like you're drifting
Ellis Taylor: Allies.
Christopher Hooper: through outer space. Um, and go ahead and give
Ellis Taylor: He
Christopher Hooper: me that wisdom saving
Tyram: All right. Um, I'm starting with an 18. Did I get that
Ali Leonard: I gave you warning bond also.
Christopher Hooper: throw.
Ellis Taylor: Yes, I gave it. I blessed
Tyram: bless? Yeah, I counted that. Okay. So, with the add uh Okay. So, up to
Ali Leonard: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, nice. Okay. Did you already do uh Liliana's bark juice?
Ellis Taylor: you.
Tyram: 21. Not
Christopher Hooper: I can tell you what that D is. She is now a
Tyram: yet. Is she a D8 or a D10 at her level? Okay. So, I'm at 21 and
Christopher Hooper: D10. All right, you
Tyram: then Okay. Up to 29.
Christopher Hooper: beat the 25 DC. Well done.
Tyram: I'm just picturing like, you know, just like all this like assault going
Christopher Hooper: Um
Tyram: on my mind. like my my nose starts to bleed a little bit, but then
Christopher Hooper: Um, and you're inside and it is it is eerily quiet. Um, and after a moment what you think is just star sky you see begins to shift and it it the shadow and and um starlight and stardust forms
Tyram: finally
Christopher Hooper: into a draconic figure you know as Astra. says, "Hi, Silus. You've come
Tyram: Hello,
Christopher Hooper: again." Oh, hello. A new tact.
Tyram: Astro. I was hoping we could just talk for
Christopher Hooper: Maybe I have time to talk.
Tyram: once. I imagine so. Yeah. So, I guess last time we interacted was uh the binding ritual, which worked. I think it's just something we should both accept real quick,
Christopher Hooper: Yes or no?
Tyram: right? We
Christopher Hooper: Or now it's happened
Tyram: succeeded. Yeah. Well, hey, that's the thing you
Christopher Hooper: before.
Tyram: say for now. I think it's good to remember that it's not like an abstract concept anymore. You, me, and my allies all know proof positive that we can do this, that we can seal you in a more permanent fashion or at least a very
Christopher Hooper: That's
Tyram: longasting one.
Christopher Hooper: why you were here to talk to
Tyram: I am not here to taunt you, but I just wanted to point out the status
Christopher Hooper: me.
Tyram: quo as it were. I think we both need to see these interactions of ours with very clear eyes. I don't think it's too much to say that I don't think you
Christopher Hooper: When
Tyram: and I are great
Christopher Hooper: I sleep here, if you are still alive, I will eat you. And if
Tyram: friends.
Christopher Hooper: you are not alive, I will destroy anyone that is around you, friend or family. I don't care if I consume everything. I will have my revenge upon you.
Tyram: Okay. So, there right there. That's the sort of thing that makes me want to do the other binding rituals. But I understand that there would be consequences. I understand that you eat things that are also bad. But then on the other hand, you wanting to like eat the world also seems pretty bad. Help me out here, Astro. Is there a way forward that doesn't involve either you or these void devils destroying our world? Because it doesn't seem like either option is great from our perspective.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, you are stuck between multiple hard
Tyram: Yeah, but hey, that's where I've been living my
Christopher Hooper: spaces.
Tyram: life. Astro, I respect that you're like a big powerful cosmic scale entity, but basically everyone I've ever met has had the ability to kill me, right? or at least like people that I have these little conversations with at least. But as big and as bad as you are, you're in a prison and we can tighten the chains. Even you have to accept what that means. But we haven't committed to doing that. Give me an option three. Let's work something out. Maybe you don't destroy, you know, all of existence and maybe, you know, we can talk more civily next
Christopher Hooper: You work with these golden knights. Um,
Tyram: time. f*** no. I hate
Christopher Hooper: give me a persuasion
Tyram: them. I mean, that's that is the that is
Christopher Hooper: check.
Tyram: God's truth right there. Um, but I'm better at deception.
Christopher Hooper: Yes, I
Tyram: s***. Oh
Christopher Hooper: am.
Tyram: well. Oh well. Okay. Uh 26
Christopher Hooper: Wait. 26. Holy s***.
Tyram: persuasion rolled an
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, you hate them, but you work against
Ellis Taylor: Wow.
Christopher Hooper: me. I would destroy them with a snap of my jaws.
Tyram: 18. But would you destroy you know the entire continent with it is the
Christopher Hooper: She's she looks at you. She It's It's odd because in her enormity, it's odd. You see like the gesture that she's she's sizing you up and she's taking you from a different angle. She uh she
Tyram: problem.
Christopher Hooper: says, "So why are you binding me if not working for
Tyram: I'm not a fan of the world being eaten. And every impression you've
Christopher Hooper: them?
Tyram: ever given me seems to imply that that's exactly what would happen if you got
Christopher Hooper: What
Tyram: out.
Christopher Hooper: if what if that happens a long time from
Tyram: I honestly don't know how I feel about
[02:00:00]
Christopher Hooper: now? How long would it take for you to feel okay? 100 years? A thousand years, a billion
Tyram: that. A million sounding pretty good. Um, but you know, I think we've given each other something to think about now. I'll come back and we'll try this
Christopher Hooper: years.
Tyram: again. Sound
Christopher Hooper: Okay. But work quickly, silence. I have other people talking to me.
Tyram: fair? Well, we know where they are, so maybe that'll change soon. I'll see you
Christopher Hooper: Perfect. Goodbye,
Tyram: around. It's like
Christopher Hooper: Silus. And she shuns you
Tyram: a, you know, a respectful
Ali Leonard: He also bows as they
Christopher Hooper: out. She shuns you
Tyram: gesture. Wait, what did she do? Fair
Christopher Hooper: out.
Tyram: enough.
Ali Leonard: leave. Were you flirting with
Tyram: Okay, that we made progress. We made progress.
Ali Leonard: her? Because that seemed to work in our other meeting.
Tyram: Um, I'm already devoted to a different
Ali Leonard: Are we all Spider-Man meme each
Tyram: goddess, but um, no, I mean, she did offer to eat the world a million years from now, which honestly I'm okay
Ali Leonard: other? I'm be
Ellis Taylor: Did you tell about the void beings
Tyram: with. I don't really
Ali Leonard: dead.
Ellis Taylor: that are running a muck. Yeah.
Tyram: care. Yes. Yes, I did.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. I mean
Tyram: So, well, I mean, she
Ellis Taylor: it
Tyram: establish we established each other's leverage here, right? She is right that we're a rock and like we're kind of choosing between different malevolent beings, one being her and the other being these void devils. But she also recognized that we do have the
Ellis Taylor: yeah
Tyram: power to force the issue with these
Ali Leonard: Okay. So, it seems
Tyram: bindings.
Ellis Taylor: So I mean there is a thought is our world
Ali Leonard: good. That's what I
Ellis Taylor: even going to be here in a million years
Tyram: I mean, that's a real question, right?
Ali Leonard: mean. Are we going to
Ellis Taylor: like
Tyram: Like, if he eats the world after like the sun explodes, like what do
Ali Leonard: care? I'mma be
Tyram: we even care,
Ali Leonard: dead. I'mma tell you that. I'm going be dead.
Tyram: right? Yeah. We'll all be long dead. I mean, maybe maybe like humans
Ali Leonard: There's something with humans going on,
Tyram: like uh Liliana will still be alive a million years from now. I don't
Ali Leonard: dude. I don't know what's going on. There's something with
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. Something about these humans.
Tyram: know.
Ali Leonard: them. Olivia might still be
Ellis Taylor: Jesus.
Tyram: famously
Ellis Taylor: I
Tyram: long lived.
Ali Leonard: here. I
Tyram: Yeah. So anyway, yeah, I feel like
Ali Leonard: mean, that's fine with
Tyram: uh we're we've got a better
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. I I think this
Tyram: rapport than we had before, which was the main goal today. Does anyone
Ali Leonard: me.
Ellis Taylor: is a I think we're just heading in a good direction.
Tyram: have an issue?
Ellis Taylor: I'm feeling good about
Tyram: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: this.
Tyram: So, we'll talk to I guess Astro again before we commit to I mean either way we want to go get those orbs, right? Because we're either
Ali Leonard: probably. You're afraid that's and that's got
Tyram: minding her or we're releasing her like kind of
Ali Leonard: to happen within the week,
Tyram: like Oh s***,
Ali Leonard: huh? It doesn't.
Christopher Hooper: That's not going to
Tyram: you're right. Uh well, I don't
Ali Leonard: Okay.
Tyram: know. You know, I get the feeling that the time scale is
Ali Leonard: Okay,
Tyram: gonna kind of work its way around our our choices
Ali Leonard: great. Because I was like, we got a lot to do and not a lot of time to do
Christopher Hooper: happen.
Tyram: here. That's true. Well, hey, we beat the clock on uh Luna
Ali Leonard: it. That is good.
Tyram: dying, so that's good. We probably need to get like a like
Ali Leonard: Um, do we need
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Well,
Tyram: a faith sandwich coming up here to help her out along the
Ali Leonard: to
Ellis Taylor: maybe maybe we could get that going. Like I wonder what uh
Tyram: way.
Ellis Taylor: if Jasper could help us out with that. Like maybe
Tyram: That's a good
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. He's an established businessman
Tyram: point. Maybe we could go see all of the quest givers
Ellis Taylor: here. Just knock him
Ali Leonard: I do have a question about our rocket ship
Christopher Hooper: Sure.
Ali Leonard: cuz again if we're leaving in a week,
Christopher Hooper: Yes.
Ali Leonard: a week? No, sooner than a
Christopher Hooper: Where are we? What's happening in a week?
Tyram: today. No sooner than a week. I feel like we don't have to leave
Ali Leonard: week. Are we making the ship or we stealing it? If we're stealing, how are we stealing
Tyram: a
Ali Leonard: it?
Ellis Taylor: out.
Tyram: Well, you're you're right. We probably need to look into like how
Ali Leonard: If we're making it, where are we making it? You know,
Tyram: like the logistics of building it, like how long that would
Ali Leonard: we got to talk to Ira about that. I don't know how to steal a
Christopher Hooper: We make it
Ali Leonard: rocket
Tyram: take. I am actually pretty
Ali Leonard: ship. We could steal the parts to
Tyram: uh thrilled by the idea of stealing a rocket ship.
Ali Leonard: a rocket ship. That's not
Christopher Hooper: underwater.
Ellis Taylor: I mean, there's
Tyram: But yeah, you know what? Yeah, we can meet in the middle
Ali Leonard: necessarily
Christopher Hooper: That would be a
Ellis Taylor: we can we can do both. I mean, do they have like a
Tyram: there. We can do both.
Christopher Hooper: cool
Ellis Taylor: junkyard? Can we get a jump start on our rocket ship by just stealing junk parts of
Ali Leonard: See, that's
Ellis Taylor: their rocket
Ali Leonard: something that that's something right
Ellis Taylor: ships?
Christopher Hooper: face. That's um I I feel like maybe we could maneuver the
Ali Leonard: there. Yeah, because that's kind of
Christopher Hooper: like infiltration job to do something like
Ali Leonard: we're kind of cutting some time there. What do you think,
Christopher Hooper: that. Yeah, I
Ali Leonard: Scarlet?
Christopher Hooper: think that'd be cool. I mean,
Tyram: probably.
Christopher Hooper: you know, we know they work, so that's pretty
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: But we need
Christopher Hooper: cool. And they lifted the technology from
Ali Leonard: a
Christopher Hooper: the Goliath, right, that all this stuff is written in.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Are we going to need violence for it? Are we going to have to steal more
Christopher Hooper: So, it should be the same stuff.
Ali Leonard: violence? Like how much
Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah. So much like a s***
Ali Leonard: violescence? Like And I hold up all the violence I have. That's not enough. No. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: ton. No, like a
Ali Leonard: a
Christopher Hooper: truckload. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if this is a good measurement, but as much as an F-150 could
Ali Leonard: truckload. Okay, I think we could probably steal it from
Ellis Taylor: There's I have a random
Tyram: are. Come on. I mean, the F-150 can handle more than
Christopher Hooper: all It's a
Ellis Taylor: question. That's
Tyram: that. We all know
Ali Leonard: someone.
Christopher Hooper: lot. So we could try to
Tyram: this.
Christopher Hooper: steal it from the Eldoran capital from the from the spaceport where I mean all the stuff is right. I mean that's where they build the ships and then
Ellis Taylor: true.
Christopher Hooper: fire them off. So there's that. That will be tough. That's like that's locked down. So we we definitely to plan we definitely I don't think we can like I think uh we I don't think we can do three orbs and then do
Ali Leonard: Yeah, it feels like we got to truce,
Christopher Hooper: that cuz timewise I mean maybe we could sabotage the and do the heist
Ali Leonard: right?
Christopher Hooper: in Eldoran and then do the orbs and then do
Ali Leonard: We don't need the dragon for the Eldora, right?
Christopher Hooper: the launch. I don't think
Tyram: No, it doesn't seem like we have as much of a ticking clock on the dragon. Oh, sorry. I shouldn't mention um other people have the orbs
Ali Leonard: How do they get that? We We hacked them
Tyram: and they're using them to communicate with
Ali Leonard: perfectly. I don't think I
Christopher Hooper: so.
Tyram: uh
Ali Leonard: hacked them perfectly, but I did hack
Tyram: Well, we know that you had the hack gave us the location, right? If someone is in physical possession of the orb, that has nothing to do with
Ali Leonard: them. True, true, true, true. So maybe who Oh, so somebody
Tyram: your
Ali Leonard: else has it.
Tyram: hack. I mean, some I mean, they exist in the
Ali Leonard: Interesting. Interesting.
Tyram: world. There's no reason to think people aren't holding on to them,
Ali Leonard: Could
Tyram: right? Oh god. If one of them is a goblin
Ali Leonard: we? That's kind of
Ellis Taylor: Oh
Tyram: enclave, a f****** idiot goblin might have one of the
Ali Leonard: guaranteed. That's guaranteed at this
Tyram: orbs. Oh, that would make an
Ali Leonard: point. One of Bruce's relatives has
Ellis Taylor: no.
Tyram: interesting quest, but I'm not looking. I feel like
Ali Leonard: it.
Tyram: I, Silus, hate the idea, but um someone who is theoretically playing as me right now might find that pretty funny.
Ali Leonard: I feel like we could probably steal violence from Denlin and he's in
Ellis Taylor: Also, doesn't for a
Tyram: Oh, is that one of those like
Ali Leonard: town. One of the racists who owns that orphanage that he
Tyram: assholes who like ruined your racing career? f***
Ali Leonard: exploits the children
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Ellis Taylor: vector
Tyram: yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: from.
Tyram: Like, Elizabeth, let me do this heist for you. I'm
Ali Leonard: I mean, I feel like he has to
Christopher Hooper: wow.
Tyram: so looking forward to
Ali Leonard: have violence because he
Christopher Hooper: And we saw that there was a big race
Tyram: it. Oh, yeah. Like, he has five less than
Ali Leonard: was
Tyram: erasers, right? So, he's got to have a bunch. And we could feed it to uh
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Bada bing, bada
Tyram: Luna. I guess we have to physically go back to her corpse to give her the violescence. It didn't work in the pocket village, which you know,
Ali Leonard: boom. Because I was there for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: but you were there, so you definitely know this. I'm repeating this
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. We're all just kind of recapping because we were all
Christopher Hooper: this
Tyram: uselessly right now. But yes, yeah, her metaphysical form in the pocket
Ali Leonard: there. Okay.
Tyram: village cannot um absorb any of the artifacts we present to
Ali Leonard: I mean, we can steal a boat. We know somebody with a
Christopher Hooper: You know, you know what?
Tyram: her. It is true. Iro does have a
Ali Leonard: boat.
Christopher Hooper: Who? Oh, okay. I the dragon people. I don't think
Ali Leonard: Wait,
Christopher Hooper: they would give us another
Tyram: boat. Absolutely not.
Ali Leonard: Scarlet. Oh, no, never mind. I thought you said dragon people. Like Iro was
Christopher Hooper: vote. I did.
Tyram: No.
Ali Leonard: a dragon person. That's really
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, no. He's a
Ellis Taylor: So, we don't know
Ali Leonard: funny. He's a human for
Christopher Hooper: human. I mean, he's
Ellis Taylor: that he is a
Tyram: What a ridiculous idea. And if Iro was a dragon, it's established that they could just swim underwater. So like if
Ali Leonard: sure. You wouldn't need a
Christopher Hooper: attractive. Yeah. Why would he have a
Ellis Taylor: human. Also, Iro powered a
Tyram: Iro was a dragon, he could just take us there
Ali Leonard: boat.
Ellis Taylor: boat. I wonder if our Iro could power our
Christopher Hooper: boat?
Ellis Taylor: spaceship. Yeah. I don't want to break the
Tyram: himself. Oh, that's a fun idea.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, like kill himself as a
Ellis Taylor: violas and stuff too
Ali Leonard: sacrifice
Ellis Taylor: much. No,
[02:10:00]
Tyram: Oh no. Um, Iro uh breathed into the furnace and like empowered uh Olivia and
Ali Leonard: himself.
Christopher Hooper: sacrifice.
Tyram: uh Ellsworth's weapons. I think you were there
Ali Leonard: Maybe,
Christopher Hooper: Huh? Yeah. Yeah, I was there for that. I was just thinking
Tyram: for that. In
Christopher Hooper: in the schematics there's this part where like we have to have like
Ali Leonard: maybe in the rocket ship. We need to replace that
Christopher Hooper: a I don't know if I think we can replace this but like
Ellis Taylor: no.
Ali Leonard: part. Yeah. Do you see the big
Christopher Hooper: they need like a vessel thing where like you a sacrificial
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. No, we're
Tyram: fact,
Ali Leonard: X I put through that part? That's what we got to get rid
Christopher Hooper: vessel.
Ellis Taylor: not. We're not doing that
Ali Leonard: of.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Should we find
Ellis Taylor: part. No.
Ali Leonard: No.
Christopher Hooper: somebody? Yeah. I I was I thought that was a bad idea, too. I wanted to make sure
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. We would have been through
Christopher Hooper: y'all thought it was a bad idea. Yeah.
Tyram: Good, good catch there,
Ali Leonard: that. Even
Ellis Taylor: No.
Tyram: Scarlet. I also think it's a disgusting idea. I just wanted to make sure everyone else thought so.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. And like Danin too cuz like even though he's
Ali Leonard: Victor. Yeah. But then you have to listen to him in the ship. He is the ship
Christopher Hooper: bad like Yeah.
Ali Leonard: then.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. That's a bad idea. I was just seeing making sure you cuz I wanted to test you
Ali Leonard: Do you need a talk?
Christopher Hooper: because you don't like him at all.
Ali Leonard: Scarlet, do you have some things to
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: work out? Are you
Christopher Hooper: Hey, you should we go to a should we go to a race or who are we talking to? All the quest
Tyram: Oh, we want to go talk to uh um uh
Ali Leonard: okay?
Christopher Hooper: givers. Oh, Jasper.
Tyram: Jasper and maybe, you know, it seems like doing a race next week might be a good idea, especially because for I feel Liliana's not gonna want to talk to us and do the concert next
Ali Leonard: What? I mean,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's probably
Tyram: week. I don't know why I think that. I just think it's
Ali Leonard: we could always It could be a heist instead of a race. It depends on
Tyram: almost certainly true,
Ali Leonard: how you want to get it from
Tyram: though. Oh, absolutely. We should do a heist.
Ali Leonard: Denland. I mean, because I can't race
Christopher Hooper: busy. Yeah, we're stealing from the from the the racist,
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: against him. He won't he won't race me.
Tyram: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: So, but if there
Christopher Hooper: right?
Tyram: Yeah. That coward. He know he can't beat you in a fair race.
Ali Leonard: is a race going on, we could sneak in during the
Christopher Hooper: Okay, maybe you could swap with one of the
Ali Leonard: race. Huh? Wear a
Christopher Hooper: races. Where is that? There is that one dwarf that's
Tyram: Wait. Yeah. Wasn't there was like basically using your stolen identity
Ali Leonard: helmet. Bellith
Christopher Hooper: racing.
Ellis Taylor: your
Tyram: anyway? What if
Ali Leonard: booper. I
Christopher Hooper: Beler, I don't
Tyram: Beller was replaced with Ell
Ali Leonard: needed to murder her anyway. So I we're the same exact
Christopher Hooper: think Do you think it would work?
Tyram: Cooper?
Ali Leonard: height. So
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, now that you mention
Tyram: Even
Christopher Hooper: it,
Tyram: the even like the ironclad identification system at
Ali Leonard: maybe I do think I need to murder her cuz I think she might be a
Ellis Taylor: brother.
Tyram: the zoo was fooled by
Christopher Hooper: huh? Oh, yeah. We should do that. No, I mean
Ali Leonard: clone. That one wasn't a
Christopher Hooper: that that was a test, right? That's a bad
Ali Leonard: test. I might kill
Christopher Hooper: idea. Okay.
Ali Leonard: her.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Can she be our vessel?
Tyram: this.
Ali Leonard: Huh? Let's think about
Christopher Hooper: Okay. All right. So, um, cool.
Ali Leonard: it. Racist.
Christopher Hooper: Race heist. Heist of the races. Got it. So, that'll be cool. Um, but first, Jasper, and let's get some
Ali Leonard: Racist. That'd
Christopher Hooper: some nice goodies from the bakery. That'll be
Ali Leonard: be great. I'm famished.
Christopher Hooper: great.
Tyram: Let's head
Ali Leonard: I'm suddenly
Tyram: on over.
Ali Leonard: starving. I don't know why I've had like 10 cups of
Christopher Hooper: Um, I always have to look up what the family business name
Tyram: Um, bankery, brewery, and bakery or something.
Ali Leonard: water.
Ellis Taylor: I'm going to go I'm going grab my
Tyram: Or is it bakery
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: is. Uh, yeah. Bankery, brewery,
Tyram: bakery?
Christopher Hooper: and bakery. Yeah, that's what it was. Um uh
Ellis Taylor: water.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Um so you come up uh there are actually
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: um three locations in the city. One was um destroyed and that was mostly a bakery. And then there's one that is in this area of town. it's mostly a banker. And then there's one um that's closer to the the port and that's mostly a brewery. A brewery um and it's also is known for um it's by this old um church um and now has an adjoined like orphanage uh next to it. Um, and the bakery it uh it's a beautiful building. It has like um like a skylight. It's known for like an indoor like greenhouse space. Uh what is that called where you have a fancy like salarium or uh what is it like? Cities have like large like indoor like garden
Ellis Taylor: Solarium.
Christopher Hooper: things. I think this could just be a
Ellis Taylor: Salarium
Christopher Hooper: salarium. Anyway,
Ellis Taylor: greenhouse or orangeery. I think I
Tyram: like an arborium.
Ellis Taylor: like arbore. Well, yeah. I think arboreium is more
Ali Leonard: arburito.
Ellis Taylor: trees.
Tyram: Maybe they would
Ali Leonard: There's an arbor. There's
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. An orery is like a ye oldie way of talking about it because they used to
Tyram: be
Christopher Hooper: Arboreium.
Ellis Taylor: have orange trees in them in like Victorian
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, yeah. Which one of those three do you all want to go
Ellis Taylor: England.
Ali Leonard: our
Christopher Hooper: to?
Ellis Taylor: I think the one with the orphanage seems like the most reasonable place for Jasper to
Christopher Hooper: All
Tyram: Yeah, because he like uh takes care
Ellis Taylor: be. Yeah, he still
Tyram: of all the
Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah, totally fine. Um, yeah. So, y'all head across town to the port port side and you come on
Tyram: orphans.
Christopher Hooper: um on the Gaines Bankory Brewery and Bakery, but mostly brewery.
Ellis Taylor: feels
Christopher Hooper: Um and outside um out front you see these long wooden tables. It's almost like a beer garden. Um, and you have these trelluses that kind of cover it and they have these jasmine vines all over. Um, draping and they're all blooming right now. It's springtime. Um, anyone with allergies is suffering significantly.
Ali Leonard: Great.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and it is rockus and um, anyone anyone feeling lucky tonight? Who's feeling lucky?

Tyram: needed.
Christopher Hooper: see uh what looks like a kindergarten class filing through and they
Ellis Taylor: 16.
Christopher Hooper: are just all over the place rambunctious. And there you see Jasper and he says, "Hey, no, be careful. No, don't spill the drinks. Come on, kids. Hey, settle down. Settle down. All right, everybody gets a sausage. We're going to get sausages if everyone sits down. But no one gets a sausage until everyone's sitting on their
Ali Leonard: I don't think you can say
Christopher Hooper: butts. All right. Can we get toppings? Can we choose our own toppings? Yes, you get to choose your own toppings, but only one pump of mustard. We're not going to have the mess we had last time. Oh,
Ali Leonard: but
Christopher Hooper: come on. Yes, Jared. I'm looking at you, but there's plenty of sauerkraut today. And it is
Tyram: Ready?
Christopher Hooper: fresh. So, uh you you let Miss Miss Miss Mabel know that uh you enjoy it and enjoy the sausages. And uh we're going to have a feast. Okay. All right, kids. Um we're going to go in groups. You remember first table, this is group one. We're going to go one table at a time. All right. Table one. Let's head out. Uh single file into the line. Go ahead and grab your sausages. Miss Mabel will help you out. And uh at this point, he he uh spots you. Oh, hey. Hey fellas. How y'all doing? Y'all coming to visit old Jasper over
Ellis Taylor: that we are. Sweetie, how have you been?
Christopher Hooper: here. Oh
Ellis Taylor: You seem really in your element here with all these
Christopher Hooper: yeah, they give me an arm full, but uh nothing I can't handle. Uh, a little harder than my old line of work, but uh, you know, I can keep up still. The hard part is keeping my uh, rage in
Ellis Taylor: kiddos. Excellent. That's a
Christopher Hooper: check because it sure would be a whole lot easier, but I don't know what I'd
Tyram: Well, it's probably easier with your werewolf tendencies now there's only one moon in the sky,
Christopher Hooper: do. Right. Right. Silus, how y'all doing? Um, can I get you a beer and a bro?
Ellis Taylor: Oh, sounds lovely. We have some stuff. We'd love to catch up with

Um and y'all y'all head in line uh right behind this gaggle of kindergarteners and they'll say, "I want the biggest sausage." Oh, is it spicy? I think it's too
Ellis Taylor: Oh, heat.
Christopher Hooper: spicy. Hey, no, none of them are
Ellis Taylor: It
Christopher Hooper: spicy. They're all fine except the mustard. The mustard is spicy. One ton of spicy mustard. Yes. All right, Hendrickk. Okay, we're all going to get our spicy mustard. I don't want spicy mustard. And you

Christopher Hooper: side.
Tyram: what, guys? I'm okay not getting a sausage. The
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: But I'm so
Christopher Hooper: Um, and weirdly, uh, even through all this yammering, uh, the line progresses and she finally gets to you and
Tyram: table.
Christopher Hooper: says, "All right. Uh, can I help you, um, with the sausage or
Ellis Taylor: hungry.
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: brew?" All right. Uh, same

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Um hands that to you on your trays. Um, you get to to the condiments, you know, whatever you want. I'm sure Silus has an ungodly amount of ketchup on his um and yeah, uh, you get back to Jasper, um, who's now sitting table two. He says, "All right, yeah, yeah, come over here." Um, and you see he's got a he's ripped open a a bag of of beer and he's sucking on his bag of beer. Um, he says, "Yeah, um, why don't you sit right here? I'm going to sit uh just across from them. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Come on in.
Ali Leonard: so
Christopher Hooper: Um, what have you all been up to?" Um, oh, you are probably wanting to use your VIP tickets,
Ali Leonard: much. I do have those.
Ellis Taylor: for what?
Ali Leonard: Yeah, I think we're here for something else,
Christopher Hooper: right? Well,
Ali Leonard: right,
Ellis Taylor: Huh? What are the VIP

Ali Leonard: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: uh um but yeah. Do you have something else you want to talk about? Is that what you
Tyram: Actually, I wanted to talk to you about how like your bakery exploded like
Christopher Hooper: said? Yeah, that
Tyram: when we first got to
Christopher Hooper: uh that was crazy. Some rival gangs or something going
Tyram: town. There was a whole thing. Yeah. Uh the f****** Iron Claws blew it
Christopher Hooper: on. Really? Those guys? They're
Tyram: up. which
Christopher Hooper: here, too. Hey All
Tyram: Hey. Yeah, they're here, too. Uh, but hopefully not for much
Christopher Hooper: right. Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure. Um, is that what you want to talk to me about? Cuz I'm I'm kind of out of that gang and unless you really need me, but I like to kind of I don't know. Tell
Tyram: longer.
Christopher Hooper: me tell me what's
Ellis Taylor: I mean, we
Christopher Hooper: up.
Ellis Taylor: were thinking, so you know about the fallen moon, obviously. Well, we we found her. Um, and we're trying to help her get better. Luna. Yes. Yes,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, why will be so
Ellis Taylor: we found her. Um um Liliana. Oh. Oh lord. Lily. Um she's different
Christopher Hooper: pleased?
Ellis Taylor: now. Um more sunshines and
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. All
Ellis Taylor: rainbows, less doom and gloom. And um she's holding some concerts for Luna. And we were kind of hoping we she could like do some here or you could help with all
Christopher Hooper: right. Oh,
Ellis Taylor: of your connections in the city. maybe help organize get a
Christopher Hooper: an event concert. Okay. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: big benefit concert.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I think we could do that.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, cuz well I mean the more
Ali Leonard: very family
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: people we can get believing in Luna the better the the
Christopher Hooper: Do you is it like a
Ellis Taylor: quicker she'll heal. She'll heal.
Ali Leonard: friendly. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: fundraiser or
Ellis Taylor: So I call more like a benefit. We're not there's no
Ali Leonard: Not monetary. It's very
Christopher Hooper: uh
Ellis Taylor: money involved. Look at Silus. Not monetary.
Tyram: Yeah. I mean, if we sold some like incense and like things that people could use to pray to Luna back at home, that could really help the
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. Yeah. I mean, so sometimes,
Tyram: cause.
Christopher Hooper: um, so we often will do do little events here at the beer garden and take the street out in front and we work with the people across the street and we probably host it here if that's the vibe you're looking for. Um, it's nice
Tyram: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: neighborhood. Um, you know, uh, it's it's funny. Um, there's an old church here. people
Tyram: work.
Christopher Hooper: still worship uh the winter king at the church

Christopher Hooper: here. Um so it's kind of already
Ali Leonard: the winter king college down the
Tyram: Yeah, this is Caspian's old church, I
Ali Leonard: street.
Christopher Hooper: a Yeah. Um so
Tyram: assume, right?
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: uh I don't know if y'all want to work with them. I I I think the winter king and Luna
