Christopher Hooper: Hello.

Tyram: Hello. How you doing?

Christopher Hooper: Pretty good.

Tyram: Glad to hear it.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. How have you been?

Tyram: What? I've been fine.

Christopher Hooper: How have you been?

Tyram: Yeah, I'm cool. Yeah, it's been a few weeks…

Christopher Hooper: It's been a while.

[00:10:00]

Tyram: since we've been able to play here, but even if it's abbreviated, I'm glad to be playing tonight.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I Yeah.

Tyram: Although, I do genuinely wonder,…

Christopher Hooper: Go ahead.

Tyram: is it medically advisable to go climbing when you're six months pregnant or whatever? I don't know.

Christopher Hooper: I don't know. I mean, there's small climbing maybe that she's doing. She might also be when they go outdoor climbing, she might be just like hiking or something. I don't know. I don't know.

Tyram: Seems like D and D should be preferable to that, but each their own.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, she posted some pictures on Instagram that are pretty cool is pretty beautiful. Yeah, I think they're mostly climbing. I don't know how much I can actually do. Irregardless. How's school been?

Tyram: Here. It's been pretty nice. one of the stations gives me is rather exhausting, but other than that, yeah, it's all good. Yeah, that he has terrible impulse control.

Christopher Hooper: One of your students is rather exhausting is what he said. just basically doesn't listen or anything like that type of stuff.

Tyram: It's hard to get him to focus on anything. But once you get past all that he is redpilled straight to hell. He refuses to believe that Harriet Tubman wasn't like a phony story and…

Christopher Hooper: Man.

Tyram: things like that. So yeah,…

Christopher Hooper: Man.

Tyram: it's rough. So that's exhausting, but not as exhausting as Alli's work at Barnes & Noble,…

Christopher Hooper: Hello. Yeah. Mhm.

Ali Leonard: Fast.

Tyram: I'm sure, since she's cutting her way to the top I mean, now comes the stage where you got to start like, throwing your co-workers under the bus and, just got to carve your way to the top. Now perfect.

Ali Leonard: What's fun is they kind of do very little work needed.

Luke Neverisky: If we don't see a movie about it in 10 years about Ali Leonard's rise to fame in the.

Tyram: All too easy.

Ali Leonard: Rise to the top.

Luke Neverisky: then did it really happen?

Ali Leonard: We'll find out.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Not yet.

Christopher Hooper: I don't think it did.

Ali Leonard: Maybe it did.

Luke Neverisky: I need a social network movie made about you.

Ali Leonard: Maybe it won't. And then I'll sell it at Barnes & Noble.

Luke Neverisky: Perfect. I like your ambition.

Ali Leonard: We'll acquire Netflix. straight to the top.

Christopher Hooper: Straight to the top.

Tyram: It's next on the ambition list,… As soon as you've, become CEO of Barnes.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, senior book seller CEO by Netflix.

Tyram: Yes. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: a logical jump. Yeah. business.

Tyram: So, if the timetable is CEO by Christmas,…

Ali Leonard: Yeah, Easter.

Tyram: I guess try to become the owner of Netflix by let's call it Easter, I guess. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, that'd probably be a very good timeline. I got to get that ball rolling, though. I got to reach out. Those contracts take forever. jargon. Business.

Christopher Hooper: This is business. This is business.

Tyram: All that high flutin language is going straight over my head.

Luke Neverisky: I mean, that's all I do at work. I sit on camera and say business repeat.

Ali Leonard: Business. We did it.

Christopher Hooper: We're all here.

Luke Neverisky: I did it. We're doing D and…

Christopher Hooper: We've done it.

Tyram: kind of…

Luke Neverisky: D. Not is he

Tyram: but not me.

Christopher Hooper: How's everybody Busy, apparently.

Ali Leonard: That's busy.

Tyram: I ain't got* going on. You guys disappoint me every week.

Luke Neverisky: Damn.

Ali Leonard: What can I say? I live to disappoint.

Tyram: Mission accomplished. Although I guess the silver lining last week is I got to watch CM Punk lose a championship.

Ali Leonard: CM Junk.

Tyram: Got him.

Ali Leonard: I hate that dude.

Tyram: So yeah,… I got to watch him lose a championship. So I know,…

Ali Leonard: I didn't watch that.

Tyram: but yeah.

Ali Leonard: That man shall never be on my screen ever again…

Tyram: From what I understand,…

Christopher Hooper: Cover it again.

Ali Leonard: unless I get punked.

Tyram: yeah, that bridge at AW is burned to cinders,…

Ali Leonard: Yeah,…

Tyram: right? Yeah.

Ali Leonard: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a whole situation.

Tyram: Yeah. Not important.

Christopher Hooper: What is going on?

Ali Leonard: He Yeah,…

Tyram: Let's play.

Ali Leonard: He used to be at AW and now he's not. But I think Ilia is at AW now.

Tyram: That'd be cool. He's great.

Ali Leonard: And we just got a new day which now they're new level.

Tyram: I was kind of hoping they would just say new day in you day, but Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. No, it's new level with and…

Tyram: I think they'll do good work with Swerve.

Ali Leonard: there was Swerve and they've been really great. Obviously they're really great. Yeah, it'll be good. We've been having fun. All Out is in a couple weeks. I think that's our next pay-view. It's whenever WWE has a show in Chicago.

Tyram: They're going against Worlds Collide.

Ali Leonard: I don't remember. I don't know.

Luke Neverisky: The sexy peacock.

Christopher Hooper: I don't know. Come on.

Ali Leonard: I just show up.

Tyram: You guys can consider this revenge for when you guys talk all that stupid computer s***.

Christopher Hooper: What are you Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Nerd jargon.

Tyram: All So, we're on our way to the sexy peacock to meet with George, I think. we had just found out that the scientist dude who has the super pass that we can use to get to all levels of the research facility is going to be at Alli's friend's birthday party tomorrow.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Right. Their friend, Of the All Right.

Tyram: All of Alli's like quoteunquote co-workers at the factory are having a shindig at the lake or… something. I don't know where that actually is, but yeah,…

Ali Leonard: It's a picnic.

Tyram: and one of them is apparently the wife of this researcher guy. So, that researcher guy is going to be like her plus one at the party. And he has a pass we can use to go to anywhere in the research tower. used up to the restricted level up top.

Christopher Hooper: Right, right, right, right, right, right. Exactly. That's why we had to wait for Ally for this.

Ali Leonard: Promise central.

Tyram: We didn't absolutely didn't.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. One of you guys would have just dressed as me.

Tyram: But it's obviously better to have Ally,…

Christopher Hooper: She's our in to the birthday party.

Tyram: It's like so I consider the indispensable one…

Ali Leonard: Let's be honest. What are you playing with?

Tyram: though to be Luke…

Luke Neverisky: Captain Steve just I don't think so.

Tyram: because we're right in the orbit of his nemesis. Is it captain or commander steel? Okay.

Christopher Hooper: It's Captain Steel. I don't know there were a few mistakes in the notes. to all right, cool.

Ali Leonard: Sorry. I don't think so.

Christopher Hooper: Y'all are heading to the sexy peacock to meet with George and also to sleep because It's now very late in the evening. and y'all are headed that way. any stops or anything before you get there? you arrive there. it ends in this place kind of have a night shift where it's no longer much of a tavern. it's really just like the night manager letting people into their rooms and stuff. and so you head there,…

Ali Leonard: I suppose

Christopher Hooper: everyone's asleep. And you don't actually have a room here. your room is at the apartment with I'm trying to remember that.

[00:20:00]

Tyram: I thought we were supposed to meet George for dinner or… something. So, I don't think we're ever going to stay here yet. George just said to meet him at the sexy peacock.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: He didn't specify if it was for dinner or something else.

Ali Leonard: So unfortunately I don't Do you even see him?

Christopher Hooper: The orders were to meet at the sex. those are the original orders, Or did we have new orders?

Tyram: When we ran into George at the garrison like the soldier dudes he said …

Luke Neverisky: Right. Yeah.

Tyram: we can't talk here. Let's meet at the sexy peacock.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Okay. Yeah, at this point you don't see you come in,… you don't see anybody around. It's pretty late at this point. Seems like most people have gone to the rooms.

Tyram: All right,…

Christopher Hooper: That is

Tyram: Ellmith, I need to kick you in the shin really hard to get his attention.

Ali Leonard: What are we I honestly don't think that's Correct.

Tyram: That's why you got to scream out in genuine pain to get his attention.

Luke Neverisky: Did you have a record?

Tyram: It's the only way.

Luke Neverisky: the only way.

Ali Leonard: The only way I mean

Tyram: I can't think of any other way. Can you Let's not use names.

Luke Neverisky: Hang on. you said there's a night manager or something working.

Christopher Hooper: Yep.

Luke Neverisky: I want to talk to them and see if they've seen George somebody that looks like George. How about that?

Christopher Hooper: Do you ask about George or… or do you try to you go to the counter,…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I was going to say basically,… yeah, want to describe somebody that looks like George without using his name obviously. And yeah.

Christopher Hooper: you see woman there. it seems to be the woman you met earlier who runs the place says, "Hey, are you checking in?

Luke Neverisky: Not quite. I was actually supposed to meet someone here. Have you seen somebody recently come through here? I don't remember Do we know what George look or I mean the characters know…

Tyram: We've met George a few times.

Luke Neverisky: what George looks like.

Tyram: Our characters would know what he looks like.

Luke Neverisky: Our characters know.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,

Luke Neverisky: I begin to describe George.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. what is his description?

Tyram: I guess he would have some of Olivia and… Elizabeth's like family features. I guess we're probably in disguise.

Christopher Hooper: All dwarven yeah,…

Luke Neverisky: Dwarven kind of looks like her a little bit. Point to Elizabeth. But obviously, no, just Not like her, but a dwarf, I don't know what George looks like. Just a dwarf that looks like a,…

Christopher Hooper: .

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I don't think so.

Tyram: I don't think we've literally ever described… what George looks like.

Christopher Hooper: No, no, I don't think we have

Luke Neverisky: But Liliana knows and she definitely in great detail describes what she looks like.

Christopher Hooper: … yeah, he's one of the guards that usually eats here. And, I think he spends time with Dylan and his family in the motel back there.

Luke Neverisky: Have you That's great.

Ali Leonard: D villain.

Luke Neverisky: Have you seen him tonight come through?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, he was here. He was hanging out for dinner for a while. And … Who are you?

Luke Neverisky: Just a friend looking to catch up over a drink or…

Ali Leonard: Just a curious soul.

Luke Neverisky: two. …

Christopher Hooper: Just a friend. if you want, I can leave a note for him. I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow if you'd like.

Luke Neverisky: we can't do that. listen, I'm trying to surprise him for his birthday. And I can't just let him know, right? I want to give him the surprise.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah, he'll be here tomorrow for sure. You'll be able to find him.

Tyram: Didn't George say for us to meet him here? Why isn't he here?

Luke Neverisky: Why is he here? Do I get the sense this woman is covering up anything?

Ali Leonard: What a dag. I told you I hate my cousin.

Christopher Hooper: Why don't you give me an inside check?

Luke Neverisky: 25.

Christopher Hooper: 25. She has not said that he's not here,… and you get the sense that she is just not giving information out about people who are staying here. a professional.

Ali Leonard: like a professional. Wow, look at us just trying to got it.

Luke Neverisky: …

Ali Leonard: I'm the best at waiting here.

Luke Neverisky: tell you what, it's really important that I see him tonight. I get the feeling he's here. I'm going to slide a gold across the desk. What just let me know where he is and I'll be on my way.

Christopher Hooper: Make a persuasion check. 30.

Luke Neverisky: Sorry. Start again.

Christopher Hooper: Let me go check if he's still here for you. Can you wait here? Okay. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: I'm so good at waiting.

Tyram: You won't believe… how much we can wait here.

Christopher Hooper: Got it.

Ali Leonard: Got it. Great. Thanks,

Christopher Hooper: All right. I'll be right back. and she goes through an inner a door that heads into an inner courtyard and…

Luke Neverisky: I can't hear you.

Christopher Hooper: it's gone for a little bit and you're kind of left to empty cavern area right now.

Tyram: Okay. … in case I can reup psychic phone and I guess we can kind of go over All right. So, I guess mostly we just need to talk to George about our plans to blow up the garrison tomorrow. if he can give us a time when it would certainly be empty, that'd be really good, right? Look,…

Ali Leonard: probably. Yeah,… but I doubt he'd be that useful. Let's all be honest.

Tyram: I'm giving him a chance. your grandma puts a lot of trust in this guy.

Ali Leonard: God, I don't know…

Tyram: I don't get it either…

Ali Leonard: why he started us on this whole journey.

Tyram: because he has never been anything but a nuisance to us as a group. Yeah. Yeah, I mean we had to rescue his ass from another dimension.

Ali Leonard: It was a whole thing.

Tyram: Then we had to rescue him from the iron claws and the lava cage. He has so far been nothing but a burden. Yeah, that

Luke Neverisky: It's going to pay off. He's going to do great, I'm sure. He's your family.

Tyram: This is us giving him a chance right now, that's your business, I don't want to step into this family drama.

Ali Leonard: I'm not.

Luke Neverisky: Come on.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, it's family, so it's different.

Tyram: Yeah. …

Ali Leonard: I mean, he's fine. I wouldn't trust him. He's fine.

Tyram: it's a real shame that as we were walking over here, that whole flock of Colonel Sanders's just swept into our path and… carried brew off with them.

Ali Leonard: That's crazy.

Tyram: We lost track of it because it's so common to see people dressed up like Colonel Sanders and…

Luke Neverisky: He's with the colonel now.

Christopher Hooper: What are you doing? Let go of me.

Ali Leonard: I think it's a flash mob.

Tyram: just I couldn't tell which one was him anymore.

Ali Leonard: They just got flash mobs here.

Tyram: So that's why he's not here. Yep. It's canon now.

Luke Neverisky: No, you all saw it. It was intense.

Ali Leonard: Yes, that is crazy.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. just Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: That was so crazy. I can't believe that happened.

Tyram: Me neither, Scarlet. Just lost track of the time.

Christopher Hooper: All right. And at that moment, Odal comes back in. you see George is with her,… says, "There you are." my gosh, y'all stood me up for dinner. Where were y'all busy?

Ali Leonard: What time is it?

Luke Neverisky: Maybe.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it's like 11 p.m.

Ali Leonard: Maybe this is when we eat dinner. George people respecting him.

Christopher Hooper: Are y'all hungry? deal. Do you you mind if we get a little bit of leftover bread or anything? Drinks. Yeah. No, that's fine. I know you're good for it, George. should I set you up? I assume you are here for some privacy or… something. Yeah, that'd be great. We'll take the booth over to the side. Okay, All right, I'll be all right over All right.

Ali Leonard: What place is this?

Christopher Hooper: I mean, it's actually pretty good. I mean, no one's here. What's going on?

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I don't know.

Christopher Hooper: You got any updates? Okay.

Tyram: I think at Ellsworth and… trusted Elizabeth, the others can hear it too, but just not how I felt when people started treating Rock Shock as though he were worth respecting when he's clearly not. He's that stalker guy from High Forge who's obsessed with your grandma.

Ali Leonard: You expect me to remember who that is? That's crazy.

Luke Neverisky: That didn't make any sense.

Ali Leonard: I've never The second you're obsessed with someone, I'm out. I don't know…

Christopher Hooper: Yes. Yes.

Ali Leonard: why Olivia likes that, dude. He's like,…

Tyram: I feel like she just tolerates she's more generous in her interpretation of his antics.

Ali Leonard: " give me some of your hair." And she's like,…

Tyram: Yeah. …

Ali Leonard: "Absolutely. I'll believe it.

Tyram: she just wants to see the best in people. I guess I do think she's completely wrong about Rock, but now he's a respected member of High Forge Society, and I hate it.

Ali Leonard: When I don't believe it,… I won't believe it.

[00:30:00]

Tyram: That doesn't make any sense,… but okay.

Ali Leonard: I changed my mind halfway through.

Tyram: I guess let's talk to George.

Christopher Hooper: So, I scoped out a little bit. I didn't see any action. were y'all planning to blow anything up today? I thought we were moving at least one of the sites, right?

Ali Leonard: We're moving one of the sides.

Christopher Hooper: like moving on one of the sides.

Ali Leonard: I thought you meant changing.

Tyram: We scoped out all three locations.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. We know him.

Tyram: And our ambition is to try to get all three of them at once.

Christopher Hooper: S Okay. Okay.

Tyram: That way they don't move in extra security in the other spots, We'll try to,…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, if you can do it. I don't know.

Tyram: that's the ambition. So, I don't want to talk about him.

Christopher Hooper: I heard these people who this guy named Victor. he has these crazy timers and he just sets them off and then hands them to you.

Tyram: That's an incredibly stupid way to do it. Detonators exist and…

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: we could just do that instead.

Luke Neverisky: We know all about it.

Christopher Hooper: I assume that was the best way cuz he's kind of their demolitions guy,… but …

Tyram: No, no, no. He was their demolitions guy. He has been usurped. by brew.

Christopher Hooper: really? By who?

Ali Leonard: by Brew,… who's off on a very important mission right now with the Colonel I don't even know…

Luke Neverisky: with the colonel.

Christopher Hooper: All right. Okay. Yeah.

Tyram: And…

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: Olivia said she didn't want to be here.

Christopher Hooper: It's past her bedtime.

Tyram: Sure, that's why.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: I've never seen her awake past 900 PM.

Ali Leonard: if she exists past 900 p.m.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. All right. Wait.

Tyram: should probably have a quantum state or something going on,

Christopher Hooper: Remote charges is what you're talking about with a switch.

Tyram: That's the hope. Yeah. I mean,… we might be able to set timers, but only after the bombs are on site when it's a somewhat reasonable time to set a timer.

Ali Leonard: There we go.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. pretty complex for me.

Tyram: I'm leaving that the details of remote versus time detonations up to Brew.

Christopher Hooper: So you scoped it out,…

Tyram: I'm not going to infringe on his wheelhouse there.

Luke Neverisky: That's jam. Yeah. pro.

Christopher Hooper: but does that mean you need another infiltration then?

Tyram: Mostly the information we need from you is the best time of day to blow up the concert hall.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Probably in the middle of the day. Because everyone's out on patrol. Unless you're trying to kill a bunch of people… then in the middle of the night.

Luke Neverisky: No, I don't think we are. Nice.

Tyram: I think we're going for killing minimum number of people.

Ali Leonard: No, we're killing infrastructure.

Tyram: That's the ambition.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. That's great…

Tyram: Yeah. …

Ali Leonard: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: because I've made some fast friends that I'll love forever. so, …

Ali Leonard: I hate Yeah.

Tyram: hey, that's something that you and…

Christopher Hooper: I'm all in.

Tyram: Elizabeth actually have in common is befriending the fascists.

Ali Leonard: I hate to bond with you on this,…

Luke Neverisky: No, he's Not great.

Ali Leonard: but everybody here is so great. Am I right?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Really nice.

Ali Leonard: I'm going to take that back.

Christopher Hooper: As long as you're in Yeah.

Ali Leonard: A lot some people are very great because there's some people that are very very evil.

Christopher Hooper: For sure. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: But some of these normos are pretty great.

Christopher Hooper: Have y'all met Captain Steel yet? That guy's an a***.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, that guy's not great. that's probably the worst end of the bad.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: He's not great. And we know that.

Christopher Hooper: And he's really bad at conversation.

Tyram: …

Ali Leonard: That's probably not the worst part about him…

Christopher Hooper: Just …

Ali Leonard: if I'm going to be honest.

Tyram: …

Christopher Hooper: yeah. Sorry.

Tyram: back to business here. …

Christopher Hooper: We're busy, right? Just kidding.

Tyram: we'll take your advice and we'll try to do it tomorrow during the day. I guess on your end if you could try to make sure that I guess as much as you can that no one goes in there and thwarts our ambitions.

Christopher Hooper: The whole barracks is what you're thinking.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. All right.

Tyram: If you can manage that, But I'm just saying as much as you can,… if somebody's like, "Hey, you want to go smoke some weed in the concert hall?" You should be like, "No, no,…

Christopher Hooper: Where's the charge go now? Okay. Concert hall.

Tyram: I don't." Right?

Christopher Hooper: Gotcha.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Concert. Yeah. Better.

Christopher Hooper: No. Yeah. Okay. That's easy because they have a schedule. so they usually like to do one at sunset and sunrise. So Yeah.

Tyram: All right,… you having an easy job really puts my mind at ease.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. No problem. all right. So, try to make sure the concert hall can you let me know when it's about to go down… because all I have work throughout the day, but I should be able to get a break and…

Luke Neverisky: You just call that sick or something.

Christopher Hooper: least double check it's all clear.

Tyram: I will just go ahead and…

Ali Leonard: What are you doing?

Tyram: I feel like aren't we about to get to the point where your infiltrated schedule is a completely mood point anyways? …

Christopher Hooper: If I'm sick,… then they won't expect me there. So, I mean I can be compromised if y'all want me all in tomorrow if you need it. But ideally I could keep my cover even after you blow up the sites.

Tyram: I value your cover. So, absolutely don't try to help us.

Christopher Hooper: All right. I'll just try to poke in every now and… to see it's clear. And then Yeah.

Tyram: Yeah, yeah,… yeah, yeah. Just you keep your distance. Don't blow your cover. think of the group.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. And…

Tyram: Dodge that bullet.

Christopher Hooper: then I think the research center is going to be tough to time with the other stuff if you're trying to do it all at the same time.

Ali Leonard: Just relax.

Tyram: Yeah. you let us worry about that.

Christopher Hooper: right, sounds good.

Tyram: that because things are aligning pretty well here for two out of the three targets. But I do agree that the research center will probably be the trickiest. But do you have any sort of insight you can offer about that place? Do you know anything about it?

Christopher Hooper: I don't know. I mean, there's a ton of those key cards going around,… so you should be able to get anyone. probably nab one pretty easily, I guess.

Tyram: We already got designs on that. Don't worry.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, cool. yeah, I don't really hang out around there. It's I don't know, pretty boring. so yeah, I don't know a lot It's a university, so there's going to be a lot of … it'll be a middle of the day probably, so a lot of people just going about their thing. But yeah,…

Tyram: Yeah. … surprisingly few college students who play hackysack. Yeah. …

Christopher Hooper: and honestly, like f*** those nerds,

Tyram: I didn't realize were you channeling your jock energy here, George. I think it is.

Luke Neverisky: You feel very strongly about that. Yeah, of course you are.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I'm a jock.

Tyram: Is he actually a jock? Probably not right.

Ali Leonard: I'd have to pay attention to him to know. You know what I mean?

Tyram: Man,… devastating. We probably should check with Finnegan on that front.

Ali Leonard: And then I dab in my brain.

Luke Neverisky: Love psychic gifts.

Christopher Hooper: The big thing though is this city is going to go on lockdown as soon as the explosion goes off. So do y'all have a way out?

Ali Leonard: Technically no.

Tyram: We'll talk to him when we get back to our place tonight.

Christopher Hooper: All right. All right. just so if you can make it here, there might have been people trailing or have suspicions, but I think it's pretty far out. if you can make it out to this area, neck of the woods, it should be a lot easier. But where these sites are, like middle of civilization, you're either in the middle of the most industrialized military part of the city or… you're in one of the nicest so around the university.

Tyram: Would it be feasible?

Christopher Hooper: Keep that in mind. universities in the park, so maybe there's somewhere in the park you can hide too.

Tyram: I'm thinking this of the group more so than George. would it be feasible? Is the world tree still sticking out of the park? Could we potentially use that as an escape route?

Luke Neverisky: Why would I assume it's still sticking out?

Ali Leonard: Where's Yeah,… I would assume.

Luke Neverisky: Can We get back in it.

Tyram: I have no idea. That's for you more magically inclined folks to speculate on. I think

Ali Leonard: I'll think on it real hard.

Luke Neverisky: Maybe we could give it a I don't know. Is it risky to try to tinker with it before we do all this to determine see if we indeed can go back in but then we'd have to get back out like a trial.

[00:40:00]

Ali Leonard: Yeah. or would it kind of just And we don't know if it affects time as well. I don't think it does like flipping everybody off.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. That's true.

Tyram: It didn't seem to on our way in. It's also worth considering though that that place wasn't exactly not dangerous. So, that might not be a good option. … I'm just saying that I'm just putting it on the table there. I'm not sure if that's what we want to do or not. I mean,…

Luke Neverisky: That's true. Yeah. All right. Maybe it's a plan C or…

Tyram: I feel like the ideal way to escape the city is for us to peel out in the Bugatti and…

Luke Neverisky: something. Of course.

Tyram: just do like a sick jump.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, absolutely.

Tyram: Absolutely. Absolutely.

Luke Neverisky: But short of that.

Tyram: And to that end, this is where I would like to talk to Brew about maybe him creating a fireworks display that once all these sites blow up, he could put up in the sky like Eldora didn't stop this,… really rubber nose in it. if the goal here is to damage people's faith in Eldora, I genuinely think that would help.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, cuz I love that idea.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm. if we can't escape the city easily, is there a place we could hide? hunker down and it out.

Ali Leonard: The hunker. Absolutely.

Luke Neverisky: George, do you know of any places around here?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. One of the reasons why I come here is because it's pretty low-key. It's actually a pretty extensive motel, here. so y'all might be able to get stashed away here for a little bit. Like I said, it's on the further out. So, it's a little bit less surveiled.

Luke Neverisky: That began concern… because I was able to buy the person up front over with a single gold to get your hair.

Ali Leonard: And that was a test.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Everybody's got a cousin.

Luke Neverisky: Is it in? No. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: She did tell me you were with my cousin,… so I don't know if it's the same for everybody. It's true.

Ali Leonard: You know what I mean?

Luke Neverisky: I don't know.

Ali Leonard: You don't have a cousin of,…

Luke Neverisky: Maybe I do, guys. I just don't know.

Ali Leonard: but if somebody came up to you and was like, "Hey, your cousin's out front. You know what I mean? You wouldn't believe, but you'd check it out, wouldn't you?

Luke Neverisky: I wouldn't believe that.

Tyram: I feel like your backstory,…

Luke Neverisky: I guess we can get into that family tree later.

Tyram: Liliana, is still bit got a lot of wiggle room yet to explore if we want.

Christopher Hooper: Little's cousins.

Ali Leonard: We'll figure out yeah, we'll find a genealogologist.

Luke Neverisky: Put a pin in that and we'll get there.

Ali Leonard: We'll find your cousins for sure. That's a whole side quest.

Luke Neverisky: That's a Yeah.

Tyram: A whole thing. Yeah. I would say we should go find all the Bruce cousins,…

Luke Neverisky: We don't have enough time for that.

Tyram: but I don't think there's time for that.

Ali Leonard: But they're also all in one island, so that's probably easier.

Luke Neverisky: I mean, is it as far as escaping goes?

Ali Leonard: And it sounded like the bowling ones are very cool.

Luke Neverisky: I mean, is there enough of us that could just fly out of here and bring the rest with us? I mean,…

Tyram: From what I understand about Bruce family,…

Luke Neverisky: I can of course there. Mhm.

Tyram: there's a tight-knit group that does bowling together, and then all the others are either he's completely different towards or they're his actual mortal enemies. extremely. Yeah, especially that uncle of his. But I got to say …

Christopher Hooper: Liliana, did you say that flying idea out loud?

Ali Leonard: Because they do have sky rides out there. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: That's a good way to get shot right out of the air. unless you move really fast.

Tyram: yeah, they have a bunch of flying paladins that wouldn't be any safer than going on the ground. In fact, probably less so. Yeah, that one that Ellsworth cooked alive flew across the damn ocean at us. It was super impressive before it wasn't there.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: So, I guess you just got to hide them.

Tyram: f*** you, George. Maybe this is…

Christopher Hooper: Sorry. Yeah, it sounds pretty cool.

Luke Neverisky: He just wants to fit in. It's fine.

Ali Leonard: He's just an active listener.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. …

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: He can't help it.

Luke Neverisky: I can't help it. then I guess the option just to hide or…

Ali Leonard: If we can't go up, we go down.

Luke Neverisky: Dan …

Ali Leonard: Are there Thank you.

Tyram: where I'd love to pick Finnegan's brain because not to be rude,… but he's the only member of the Twilight Company other than Lady Viper that I think is actually competent.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: I said not to be rude.

Christopher Hooper: I mean, just because you say that doesn't mean it's not rude.

Tyram: Of course it does or…

Luke Neverisky: He did. He did preface it.

Ali Leonard: He did preface.

Christopher Hooper: That's like when people say not to be no offense,…

Tyram: no offense or Whoa,…

Christopher Hooper: I was going to say racist, but …

Tyram: whoa, whoa.

Ali Leonard: What does that even mean?

Christopher Hooper: not to be racist.

Tyram: Yeah. Also, that doesn't even make any sense…

Christopher Hooper: I know that's…

Tyram: because why would anyone want to drive race cars,…

Ali Leonard: Everybody wants to be a racist.

Christopher Hooper: That's the problem with saying that. So, not to be bigoted. …

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. In this universe,…

Tyram: there we go.

Luke Neverisky: there it's coming.

Christopher Hooper: every time I hear someone say not to be bigoted,…

Tyram: Says the guy who's hanging out with Nazis,…

Christopher Hooper: some s***'s about to be said.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Mhm.

Tyram: but okay, whatever. …

Christopher Hooper: I'm hanging out with you.

Tyram: you also have close personal Nazi friends that you want to make sure don't get hurt now.

Christopher Hooper: No. it's complicated. I'm doing my job.

Tyram: Uh-huh. Okay.

Ali Leonard: He's deep undercover.

Luke Neverisky: That's right.

Tyram: Maybe spending a little too much time with the enemy or…

Christopher Hooper: All right. Are we wrapping this up? I got to go back to bed.

Tyram: or wrapping this up. Yeah. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: I'm sorry.

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Luke Neverisky: We can strategize ourselves.

Christopher Hooper: I'm gonna be pretty disconnected over the next day or two. so, if you find a way you need to message me, let me know or whatever. But …

Tyram: Hey. Okay. I was going to ask about that. you said to try to signal you when we're about to do it. Do you want us to just do a noise? He's like I don't know what you want here.

Christopher Hooper: some people can do these brain talkies? Okay,…

Ali Leonard: My god.

Tyram: Okay. I guess Liliana, you can do that, I think we decided you have to be part of the barracks team anyway.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I think I just have to be able to see him.

Tyram: So, yeah, I guess you can do that.

Ali Leonard: Brain talkies.

Luke Neverisky: I can give you the brain.

Tyram: We're not calling it that.

Christopher Hooper: cool. …

Ali Leonard: Brainies. You don't know.

Luke Neverisky: Why not? It's so fluid.

Christopher Hooper: what do you call it?

Tyram: The message spell I mean,…

Luke Neverisky: like brain takis.

Christopher Hooper: All right. I think that's a different spell.

Tyram: least come up with a nice dignified name like psychic phone.

Luke Neverisky: That's a different.

Tyram: It's a completely different thing.

Ali Leonard: You don't know that.

Christopher Hooper: No, my friend has that.

Tyram: I actually used it on George before, so he would know about it.

Ali Leonard: He doesn't know what it's called.

Christopher Hooper: That's true.

Luke Neverisky: It's true. Yeah, it's the brain talking spell.

Christopher Hooper: The brain talks y'all did with me once.

Ali Leonard: My god. I'm embarrassed.

Tyram: George, stop. Just stop.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah. …

Ali Leonard: You should be embarrassed.

Christopher Hooper: but you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Luke Neverisky: That's right.

Ali Leonard: All right.

Tyram: Liliana, no.

Luke Neverisky: Hey, is my spell a cast?

Tyram: No. Damn it.

Luke Neverisky: I'm going to call it that.

Ali Leonard: It's already changed in her little journal.

Christopher Hooper: one spell slide. all right. Yeah. send me a brain talkie and let me know or don't. Otherwise, I'm just going to, take a peek out. It should be okay if you hit it during, while the sun is up. So, yeah.

Tyram: All right,…

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Tyram: that gives us a pretty nice window. All right.

Christopher Hooper: I still got work in the morning, so I'm gonna hit the good luck and see you on the other side.

Luke Neverisky: We'll see you over there.

Tyram: All So, I guess let's go back to talkies or Toothies.

Christopher Hooper: Do this.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Heat.

Tyram: Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Oops. dinner. Hey

Christopher Hooper: Cool. Yeah, you finish your little dinner that Odette got you and wrap up and head to Toothies it's very common place for people to be coming in late at night. So, it is not unusual for you to pop in this later hour. You head up. It's very quiet. and you head into the room and you actually see Finnegan is still up. he seems to have a little reading light lamp over a chair by the window and seems to be reading something.

Tyram: Okay, I'd like to as we come into the room,… Finnegan, we got a lot to talk about.

Ali Leonard: That is great.

Tyram: Get me a dry erase board.

[00:50:00]

Christopher Hooper: Hey All right, sounds good. and he pulls out he's got one of those pencil bag things and it's got all sorts of different types of writing utensils. And he says, "Yeah, pick it. Some of the markers I found in the shops. they should be here." What are we doing? You ready for tomorrow?

Tyram: All right,… Finnegan, I think you might have some experience with this, but it's time team to plan a heist.

Luke Neverisky: It's going to last but

Tyram: Although, I guess it's actually like a reverse heist since we're dropping things off instead of taking things out.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, Glad we're talking about the same thing.

Ali Leonard: Stay second 11.53. Nice.

Tyram: Yeah. I think of these things in terms of heist, so that's what I'm gonna keep calling it.

Christopher Hooper: Got it.

Tyram: right, so we need to try to hit three locations all within a relatively short window. the factory. I draw the factory. And is there a map of Elderan that I can like kind of overlay on the thing here?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. … I'm g send you a link…

Tyram: I don't suppose he has an overhead projector that I could put onto the dry erase board.

Christopher Hooper: if you …

Tyram: Does he?

Christopher Hooper: no, I think his dry erase board is the large window of the living room because who carries around a dry erase board?

Tyram: I don't want to put it on the window where people could potentially see it.

Christopher Hooper: How long is this going to take you?

Tyram: I guess not All right. So, okay. …

Christopher Hooper: And I linked to the virtual tabletop which has a map. Yep.

Ali Leonard: how you got it done.

Tyram: sick. …

Ali Leonard: Yeah. really good.

Tyram: is that on Discord? Okay, let's take a lookie look.

Christopher Hooper: Someday.

Ali Leonard: I just think there It's been a while.

Tyram: Someday this will load. Okay, so let's review the broad outline of the plan here. We need to get to the factory while it's closed down to be overhauled. that it should be relatively empty. That part should be pretty simple. we need to get into the furnace and sorry it's been a while. just let me make sure I remember this correctly. Was our plan to try to go into the furnace have some way of kind of blocking the heat and drop off the bomb that way or… were we going to I know the idea was put out that we drill a hole in the top and… drop the bomb from that hole so that it blows up when it gets inside into the furnace.

Ali Leonard: There a long way to go.

Tyram: Does anybody remember what the plan was there?

Christopher Hooper: That was I don't think you resolved that. I don't think you fully decided which way you're going to do it. Whether you're going to try to do So there's basically three ways to do it.

Ali Leonard: Thank everyone.

Christopher Hooper: I from my understanding is just an explosion on the outside that's large enough to set off the inside.

Ali Leonard: It's really What was the message?

Christopher Hooper: A double exsion something that creates an opening to release a second explosion to blow it in the inside and… then just creating a hole and then an explosion on the inside.

Tyram: … I guess we can decide that right now. What do we want to do, guys? …

Luke Neverisky: I feel like would go for double explosion if he was here.

Tyram: I feel like you're probably right.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: I feel like you'd feel very strongly about that.

Tyram: They'd probably insist upon it. Yeah. Okay. So, I go over to… where to the garrison and this Liliana, you need to be there for that one because you need to fly over the gate and then we infiltrate the concert and I guess basically just leave a bomb there, right? Yeah,…

Luke Neverisky: at the hall.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yes.

Tyram: that one should be relatively simple. I don't know…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. What could possibly go wrong here?

Tyram: there's not like an inferno or… a bunch of scientists to block us there as far as I know,… but there are a bunch of soldiers around. So, stealth will be pretty key on that one, I guess. And then we need to get Ellswith to the party and…

Luke Neverisky: Okay, I think I have Clorin.

Ali Leonard: South is quiet. Liliana Yeah,…

Tyram: we need to lift the badge off of the head researcher there. So, we can leave the bombs at the factory and at the garrison while we're getting the badge and then we go to the research tower and try to time it so that we set the bomb there and while the other two blow up. That sound about right? Okay.

Ali Leonard: but he did miss that I do have a religious meeting in the morning at the park. Great. I just want to make sure that it's on the schedule.

Tyram: I assume we're doing all this after that. Absolutely. On the schedule. But that's like as far as I'm aware of you thing. No one else is involved. So yeah.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Legally, I have to be leg able to take my religious break.

Tyram: No, no one stopping you.

Ali Leonard: It's legally mandated.

Tyram: By all means, take your religious break.

Christopher Hooper: Is anyone else allowed to come to that else?

Ali Leonard: Yeah, absolutely. I think you'd love it.

Christopher Hooper: Cuz I think it would be really cool. Yeah. What? No.

Tyram: I feel like someone's dropping a hint through you,…

Luke Neverisky: I would know.

Tyram: Scarlet. So maybe we should honk him. But sounds pretty culty,…

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I think you'd love it. It's just a group of minded individuals and…

Christopher Hooper: No. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: it's not a cult.

Christopher Hooper: Honest. No.

Tyram: but I don't know.

Christopher Hooper: No. It's just like a tech group thing.

Ali Leonard: It's literally a tech group we all vibe.

Tyram: So, here's something that I'll put out there. Should we split up? Have two people go to the factory, two people go to the garrison, and two people go to the lake party to get the badge.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,…

Ali Leonard: That makes sense. But I don't know how someone else feels about that.

Tyram: That's one of the reasons I'm talking about it now with you got with all with everyone here,… including Scarlet. What? Okay.

Christopher Hooper: who do you think won't like that? Olivia.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. are all C. being captain.

Christopher Hooper: I think she's asleep.

Ali Leonard: Okay. …

Tyram: So, above table talk, Toeer, would it be a miserable thing for you…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. If someone were narrating this and…

Tyram: if we split up?

Christopher Hooper: No, that would be fine with me.

Tyram: Okay.

Ali Leonard: that's what I was talking about.

Luke Neverisky: had to split their attention three ways, that'd be really difficult, I'm sure.

Ali Leonard: They might not like that.

Tyram: Another way that could happen is…

Luke Neverisky: right.

Tyram: if we focused on one group… until they completed the task and then shifted focus. That way the narrator could look at just one thing at a time and then the people starring in the different scenarios,…

Ali Leonard: Yeah, Stylus,…

Luke Neverisky: It's all right.

Tyram: so to speak, would just have to be adults about it and just wait their turn when it's not at their scenario.

Ali Leonard: you're so right.

Christopher Hooper: I guess those are fine. I'm honestly really worried about … what two at each site or something like that. I mean you're about to go to the park by yourself and…

Ali Leonard: Or is that not enough? You think interesting.

Christopher Hooper: you don't know how to rob people so Okay.

Tyram: That's what I was going to suggest. Ellith, I'm going to go with Ellmith. Not to roast, but I think that I'm going to be the best fitted to try to steal that badge.

Ali Leonard: Pretty good along with these people.

Christopher Hooper: And so okay.

Ali Leonard: You don't think I could rob from them?

Tyram: Yeah, you do that. you can integrate yourself in the crowd,…

Ali Leonard: You're You're right. It'll be good distraction.

Tyram: but it comes…

Ali Leonard: I'm a good distraction.

Tyram: if we want to do the more just kind of direct approach where I just go and just, pickpocket him, that's in our abilities as well.

Christopher Hooper: I mean, we'll definitely need at least Brew. So, Brew is going to wire up the bombs, but then Liliana is just going to set the bomb by herself.

Tyram: It sounds like the bomb at the garrison doesn't need to be that complicated,… unless I'm very much mistaken here.

Luke Neverisky: Thank you. Mhm.

Tyram: Liliana must be on the garrison team because she has the magic required to fly over and… yeah, she can turn herself invisible maybe for the stealth section. But it sounds like Brew should be at the furnace…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I Yeah,… I think so.

Tyram: because that's the most complicated bomb work.

Christopher Hooper: And is anyone going to be there with him?

Tyram: I assume it's either you or Olivia. I not to be rude, but I don't think it matters which of the two sites you two go to, so you guys can both just pick one.

Ali Leonard: But if you think we need more,… we can also discuss that.

Tyram: Yeah, This is just a suggestion,… the splitting up thing. We don't have to do it at all if you guys don't want that thought too. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: … I think that's one of the only ways we're going to be able to get it timed right. Otherwise, I don't know if we're going to be able to get it all done during the day

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. Scarlet, you're talking crazy talk.

[01:00:00]

Christopher Hooper: And now that I think about it, timing wise, for us too is we could do the barracks and… the research center during this session and then we learn what happened at the spaceship factory next session.

Tyram: What does that mean?

Luke Neverisky: There you go. You're making sense. I like it.

Christopher Hooper: No, Silence was talking about this earlier, right? Okay. Yeah.

Tyram: So, Liliana and Scarlet can go to the barracks. I and Ellsworth can go to the party and…

Ali Leonard: It looks and…

Tyram: Olivia and Brew, who are just not really feeling like talking a lot right now, can go to the barracks next time or…

Luke Neverisky: That's right.

Tyram: go to the barracks while the rest of us are doing that. But we won't really think about it until next time.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. All I guess we can all go to sleep. And Brew has to create three brawms. Four bombs.

Tyram: Yeah, that's… what he's doing right now. That's why he's not talking.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, great.

Ali Leonard: he's loving every second of it.

Tyram: He's having himself a time. That's for damn sure.

Christopher Hooper: Fantastic. All And y'all have scribbled all over the window and… laid out a plan.

Tyram: … while we're here with Finnegan Finnegan, I hate to admit this, George brought up a valid point. do you know a good way for us to get out of the city once this all goes down?

Christopher Hooper: Yikes. no, not really.

Tyram: Finan,…

Christopher Hooper: My plan was to get a boat with some dragon knights,…

Tyram: you're making me really eat s*** here. I was counting on you to have a good idea here.

Christopher Hooper: but they're not taking passengers anymore, they said.

Tyram: The Dragon Knights. Do you mean the Order of St. George? Dude,…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. …

Luke Neverisky: Yeah,…

Tyram: those guys suck. They're also allied with Eldora.

Luke Neverisky: you know what that

Christopher Hooper: of course. That's why they're docked here.

Tyram: But Okay,…

Christopher Hooper: They don't know who I am, but they take passengers.

Tyram: you know what? Fair enough. But those guys are serious assholes. I just want to say that for the record.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, they look cool,… They got dragon bones on their armor. Sick.

Tyram: No one said they didn't look cool. It's sick as hell. Yes. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: But yeah, this city is kind of weird. It brings an interesting type. Anyway, Yeah.

Tyram: Hey, maybe that's your job then. And it's like, can you see if there's a sewer line or… something we can get to or something like that or…

Christopher Hooper: Let me see if I can get us another boat. …

Luke Neverisky: It's even better.

Tyram: if there's a cool ramp that theoretically you could drive a high performance sports car over and vault over the wall.

Luke Neverisky: That's our first dress. Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: that'd be sick as hell.

Tyram: Wouldn't it? Yeah, we already have a sports car.

Christopher Hooper: right. How much money you got on you?

Tyram: We don't need money for that if that's what you're saying. We do. Yeah. All we need is the ramp…

Christopher Hooper: You already have a sports car. So, all we need is a ramp.

Tyram: which very cost effective as I understand it.

Christopher Hooper: I'll keep it in mind. Not sure if I'm going to find it. I'll think about it while I'm trying to find a boat.

Tyram: All I ask is your check,…

Christopher Hooper: Sure.

Tyram: Nice.

Christopher Hooper: Sounds good. all I wish let's see. where should I meet you afterwards? you'll probably be running. I'll be at the docks. That'll be by the spaceport factory, so it should be mayhem. there's some docks that are further out. so I'll meet you by them. Hopefully finding my own boat that I can take and fit us all if we need to.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm. Perfect.

Christopher Hooper: Otherwise, I never seen you and I'm going to try to disaear. Bathroom break.

Tyram: All right,… sounds good. Since Alli's gone, we want to take a bathroom break right now or

[01:10:00]

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, let's do it. How? What's

Luke Neverisky: Keep talking. Yeah,…

Christopher Hooper: you okay?

Luke Neverisky: I just hit my head on the desk. It's all Good.

Christopher Hooper: Good, good. How's the job been? Okay.

Luke Neverisky: Pretty good. I'm getting used to there being less structure and rigidity around processes than what I'm used to in my previous place. so I'm doing a lot of sales just trying to like Yeah. And was talking with my CEO because he basically does like the initial sales and then I scope and do estimation for the development work. and…

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: I'm trying to figure out I'm stressing about but I need very strict processes because again my previous place was like we do this then we do this then we do this and f*** if you go outside it and then here I'm at this place and it so what's the next step? He's like I don't know you just do the thing and we'll talk about it. I'm like no no no like what? So I'm learning to be looser with things.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. that is your style like to be more structured?

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, because then you have things in writing and there's less, confusion about who does what and then things get done in a timely fashion.

Christopher Hooper: Mhm. man.

Luke Neverisky: But yeah, that's not how he runs his business. And so I'm still adjusting. And so I had to tell him on Monday I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, but you got to be blunt with me about how much of a f*** I should give about some of these things. so I have two on my team.

Christopher Hooper: How many engineers do you work with then? Okay. Okay,…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. So, basically my job is to scope and help close deals that and then I pass them off to my team and then I get more and after. Gone are the days of development.

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Luke Neverisky: I just theoretically develop and design

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, cool. You all right, Ellie?

Ali Leonard: My Taco Bell arrived, but I am here.

Christopher Hooper: All right, you are on the adventure of another bio experience. You are between bio breaks.

Tyram: As long as there's not lettuce in it,… should be fine.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. All right. Cool. So, yeah, y'all know what's going on. so

Tyram: … as we to head to bed tonight, I'm going to psychic phone over at Lily and…

Luke Neverisky: Sure, why not?

Tyram: just Lily, and I wanted to say "Hey, can I come talk to you for a sec?" So, Silus is going to head over into Liliana's room and, is there's a chair or something? I guess I'll just sit down and talk to you. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: Thank you, Doug. Mhm.

Tyram: So, there's been a name that's been conspicuously absent from all of our discussions. You haven't really mentioned to any of the rest of us how you feel about Captain Steel and the fact that we're going to be right inside of his orbit here.

Luke Neverisky: Not depends on who you ask, but I think me personally, it's pretty scary. But, as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty scary. but on the other hand, she must have f him up, so to say.

Tyram: Yeah, I get that. maybe more so than anybody else here. I get that. I don't pretend it's exactly the same, but I know what it's like to lose people, honestly, to lose your family and to know exactly who's responsible.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. You get it? That's I mean, he's right there, And he stinks. And I'm gonna do something.

Tyram: Yeah. …

Luke Neverisky: I don't know what. I'm gonna do something.

Tyram: that's just what I wanted to talk to you about. I know it's not part of the plan and it very much might complicate the plan, but if you see an opportunity, if you feel like you need to call an audible while we're in that tower and… kill his ass, I got your back.

Luke Neverisky: I'll put on helisana mode. F*** right.

Tyram: Whoever's making that call. Yeah. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: We go to** a stylist. my god,…

Tyram: And I think Brew's off making the bomb right now,…

Luke Neverisky: that b****.

Tyram: but I actually was talking to Justin about it earlier, and I know that he feels the same way.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, good. I'm definitely going to seek this* out. Ri, a******.

Tyram: You just get the word and we drop everything and we f*** him up.

Luke Neverisky: Good. Thanks, Silus. We needed that. Yeah. Yeah,…

Tyram: Hey, I know what it's like. May maybe not exactly, but I understand better than most.

Luke Neverisky: that's right. Thanks. You guys are coming. I'm going to f*** them up.

Tyram: And hey,…

Luke Neverisky: We f*** yeah.

Tyram: this is my chance to go for two on the revenge thing, All right.

Luke Neverisky: It's going to be metal as f***. I can't wait.

Tyram: Of course it is. All right. I guess we need to get some sleep.

Luke Neverisky: Off you go.

Tyram: See you tomorrow.

Luke Neverisky: All Good to know.

Christopher Hooper: All right. And Ally, anything you want to do before you hit the Hay or How do you get ready for bed?

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I'm bunking with Olivia, so I have to sneak in there, but then I'm like, "All right, she doesn't wake up." So then I can make as much noise as I want.

Tyram: You're just knocking over tambourine.

Ali Leonard: Tripping over and…

Luke Neverisky: vibes.

Ali Leonard: she does not even move.

Tyram: Yeah. …

Ali Leonard: But I get my little stuff together for the meeting tomorrow morning. I'm gonna bring some bits and bobs and…

Tyram: bits and bobs for the bits and bobs.

Ali Leonard: I'll put Yeah,…

Christopher Hooper: Will you give me a medicine check?

Ali Leonard: I would love to.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Mhm.

Ali Leonard: Rits and bobs specifically. It's a bits and bobs check. That's not bad. Wish armor. my god. Mo, why are you loading?

Tyram: I think this is the first time anyone's rolled dice tonight.

Ali Leonard: Thank you. 19. Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. 19.

Luke Neverisky: I wrote persuasion earlier.

Tyram: That's right.

Christopher Hooper: There was a moment…

Tyram: And you nailed it. That's right. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: where you did not hear Olivia breathe and…

Ali Leonard: It's her freaking sleep apnoa.

[01:20:00]

Christopher Hooper: she and then you hear and it's just as you get older,…

Christopher Hooper: All right. So, y'all head to the park …

Ali Leonard: The vibes are immaculate.

Christopher Hooper: She was nice.

Tyram: Okay. …

Ali Leonard: I was the guard.

Tyram: I'm just gonna look a blue collar halfling, It's like I got my coveralls on and grease stains on my face and things like that.

Christopher Hooper: And Scarlet normally wears suspenders, so she's " close enough." and…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, we don't judge.

Ali Leonard: Mhm. …

Christopher Hooper: but I want want to know if you remember their name.

Christopher Hooper: 21. Yeah.

Tyram: But there's not a part of him that's feeling a little wondering…

Christopher Hooper: He's happy for his friend. A part of him is Samo probably won't have as much time for Fredo as often.

Tyram: what might have been

Christopher Hooper: Samo will probably,…

Ali Leonard: You got a lot.

Christopher Hooper: have a kid and they won't be able to watch the game in the morning, like they used to do or come to this coffee and he's really going to miss him. And he just hopes they don't draw apart,

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: All right. some donuts for you. Here you go, everybody. Pick your favorite. I'll take the rainbow one. here you go. Scarlet takes a rainbow donut. yeah. Yeah. I think you made it worse,…

[01:30:00]

Tyram: Is there like a bear claw? Got the bear claw. It's less focused than I've ever seen it before.

Ali Leonard: Chocolate ice.

Christopher Hooper: Luke. I think you made it worse.

Luke Neverisky: What? Yeah. I'm trying to help it refocus to me. right.

Christopher Hooper: Focus. It's just worse and worse and worse. …

Ali Leonard: You have to be a makeup influencer like Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: yeah. is that what they do?

Ali Leonard: You have to have a product in your hand and…

Luke Neverisky: I let my talents seek in here.

Christopher Hooper: Right. Right.

Ali Leonard: then you're like, "Can you see my That's a very millennial thing to do is to do that transition." Hey dude.

Tyram: I feel like yeah,… I've seen that's way a lot of them end the video now is push something into the camera and then cut it off.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,… that's true. Yeah. Hey,…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Little do you know I do on this side.

Christopher Hooper: you're clear and Fredo pulls you in and says, "Now, we were just talking about some new engines that are developing up here." Yeah,…

Ali Leonard: Oo. Harmonic.

Christopher Hooper: they're able to use the violin crystal with some they call it harmonic engines or something. Makes it way more powerful, 10 times more powerful than the crystal normally is.

Ali Leonard: harmonic in that's crazy.

Christopher Hooper: Pretty cool stuff. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: In what application are they using this?

Christopher Hooper: From, the folks that come by here, they've been talking about using it on vehicles and stuff, but, obviously…

Ali Leonard: Mhm. You could real Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: if you got enough violence, you can make something pretty big happen.

Ali Leonard: Anything at that point.

Christopher Hooper: Samo, you better be careful. What are you talking about? All right, Fredo. We'll be careful,…

Ali Leonard: You're in good company with us.

Christopher Hooper: And we all have a good relationship with our Tony, but we're in the scopes. All right.

Ali Leonard: Absolutely. That is unusual.

Christopher Hooper: It's good enough that we're able to keep this knowledge while not being in the military. Pretty unusual. Why Fredo they tried to get you to sign up last week, yeah, but I've got my shop and I supply them. So they left me alone.

Ali Leonard: So, they left you alone. That's good. I would worry that they wouldn't if they'd insist. because obviously you're talented.

Christopher Hooper: They are interested if I'm ever interested. But Fredo's been in this shop a long time.

Ali Leonard: You're not threatening about it.

Christopher Hooper: My Fredo senior owned this shop and Fredo before him. So yeah,…

Ali Leonard: So, there's kind of a respect thing there.

Christopher Hooper: …

Ali Leonard: Okay. Right.

Christopher Hooper: the town knows who Fredo is, you the Fredo name.

Ali Leonard: I just worry. You know what I mean?

Christopher Hooper: What have you seen? any cool tech?

Ali Leonard: There's a lot of stuff you don't see outside of the city. you guys have a lot more flying things than anywhere else on the planet. Really? you're definitely number one and…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: probably 2, three, four, and five in that situation. a lot less on the vehicles, more bike situations.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I guess so. We got some cars and trucks and stuff. And you see the light lane? Have you seen the light lane to the barracks?

Ali Leonard: Did I say the light?

Christopher Hooper: There was the road into the barracks through the gate was basically a road made of light that trucks were skating on basically.

Ali Leonard: Rainbow Road.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. All right.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, we don't have that either this year.

Christopher Hooper: That's state-of-the-art. I think they installed that this year earlier in January.

Ali Leonard: What is it?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it allows them to float on the so they can go like Yeah,…

Ali Leonard: It's kind of an automated kind of truck situation. So, no gas or anything and they can just zoom.

Christopher Hooper: they can go very fast. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: That's dangerous.

Christopher Hooper: Did you what?

Ali Leonard: I did see a bunch of orphans near the barracks, so you're just dangerous. Yeah, there are some orphans while I was just traveling.

Christopher Hooper: Really? …

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I think it was I don't know…

Christopher Hooper: I'm surprised the city left that. They don't like to have that around.

Ali Leonard: what it was. they're just orphans and a guard and…

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Ali Leonard: a nun.

Christopher Hooper: What? thing, special tour or…

Ali Leonard: Maybe a field trip.

Christopher Hooper: something? Yeah.

Ali Leonard: I'm not sure. I didn't stick around. You know what I mean? Because it's not my business. didn't want to get too close,…

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Hey,…

Ali Leonard: but I was interested in the tech, so I just needed to dip.

Christopher Hooper: you shouldn't be scared of the orphans. They're not as diseased as they say. Okay. Hey, they're people,…

Ali Leonard: There was a one really rowdy one that was a little scary,… a little feral,…

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Ali Leonard: but they're definitely people, too. Absolutely. They deserve all the love they can get.

Christopher Hooper: I had an orphan kick me in the knee.

Ali Leonard: Did you you were a child and…

Christopher Hooper: I know, Samo. That was a long time ago now. When your children I still don't remember his face.

Tyram: Seems like it really left an impression on you.

Ali Leonard: the orphan was a child.

Christopher Hooper: Of course. Yeah, we're at the playground.

Ali Leonard: I saw this orphan kick an adult.

Tyram: Was he trying to get somebody's attention?

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I bet.

Christopher Hooper: You really kicked me hard. Okay. …

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I believe That would be traumatizing. I've heard that they do that.

Christopher Hooper: maybe I yelled and… screamed for sure and everyone came running. That's one way to do it.

Tyram: It sounds like a great way to get people's attention.

Ali Leonard: I haven't heard that.

Tyram: I mean,…

Ali Leonard: I don't agree with that.

Tyram: we have prove positive right here. It got everybody's attention.

Christopher Hooper: You enjoy yourselves now.

Ali Leonard: Absolutely.

Christopher Hooper: The Enjoy the coffee. Enjoy the company. And I've got to head back to the shop, get these ebikes done. And yeah, you ever in town or need a fix, let me know. Head to Fredo's. Okay. And from there,…

Ali Leonard: Hello Freds Tony.

Christopher Hooper: nice time to conversations with some other, mechanics and stuff. And unless there's Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Absolutely. That was really it.

Christopher Hooper: Anything else you want to do at this meeting?

Ali Leonard: I just like to hang out with my fellow Tonians.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for and then you have this was a crack of dawn.

Ali Leonard: Mhm. What the heck?

Christopher Hooper: One thing you do hear just over the ridge, you'd say you can hear orchestral music fairly loudly and it seems to be coming from the barracks.

Ali Leonard: Aroot because it's a D the Dawn concert.

Christopher Hooper: And…

Tyram: It's sunrise. Yeah, this is expected. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: it's beautiful. and you just see kind of these streams of golden light blazing out of windows that look kind of like spotlight beams you might see at Toyota dealerships and stuff.

Ali Leonard: …

Christopher Hooper: And…

Ali Leonard: that's a cult different.

Christopher Hooper: yep, Toyota dealerships indoctrinated two of us already. and then, otherwise the morning's pretty easygoing. you have six hours until lunch. you think Bruce is probably done with the bombs. Liliana, I assume at some point you're probably getting up around now.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, absolutely.

Christopher Hooper: So it looks like Brew and Olivia have headed off and in right beside your pillow. beside your pillow are three bombs or two bombs. and they're the size of probably a huge watermelon. let me think of something else. a carry-on suitcase. Yeah, that's actually great. they're pretty much carry-on suitcases but without the No,…

Ali Leonard: Nice. How did he leave a baby?

Christopher Hooper: we'll say they even have the latch pulley handle thing and wheels on them. And two of them. And there's a note that says gentle, do not disturb heavily. Live baby.

Luke Neverisky: Did somebody get in my room last night and… improve dude? How did they All How do you Yeah.

[01:40:00]

Tyram: Do you see little droplets of brown around? That would let you know that Brew did it.

Christopher Hooper: You don't see that,…

Luke Neverisky: True. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: but you're guessing by the handwriting that it wasn't Obey me in the power.

Luke Neverisky: …

Tyram: Then he can do this.

Luke Neverisky: time to do my morning morning sun salutations and then get on out of here. Time to put a bomb in a concert hall. Never thought I would do that, but here we are.

Ali Leonard: A baby and… a bomb.

Luke Neverisky: All right. I'll do my morning routine and… then scaddle towards the barracks.

Christopher Hooper: Cool. You're only taking one suitcase with you at this point or…

Luke Neverisky: Right. …

Christopher Hooper: are you taking both?

Luke Neverisky: my assignment is l than one, I think. So, yeah, I'll just take one.

Christopher Hooper: All right. yeah, you get a nice ro yoga routine so you arrive at the barracks around 9:00 a.m. It looks like you see a lot of the units exiting the building. there's a ton of movement right now. it seems like everyone's like heading off on assignments. you return to that kind of back wall that y'all first kind of found as a less frequented place.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm. …

Christopher Hooper: What do you look like right now?

Luke Neverisky: I would want to look like myself but I guess instead of my normal attire more attire that matches the officers in the uniform.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. …

Christopher Hooper: And what kind of rank are you dressed as?

Luke Neverisky: I mean, mid to high, I guess. I don't want to come off as a general or something like that, but whatever is, maybe a couple of tiers below that. Yeah, I'm familiar with rankings in the military, but some sort of maybe lieutenant or something. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: … I guess we'll put it as five is general and one is private. on that scale a three.

Luke Neverisky: So, I got three. Mhm. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: So kind of probably even captain I think would be close to that. but in this setting captain is four.

Luke Neverisky: It's okay.

Christopher Hooper: You're about a sergeant level. So as you're go ahead and give me a performance check.

Luke Neverisky: Okay, I'm going to walk point that… because I'm not happy with the 17. 25 of course. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: All right. you got at that ranking, right? you can't be casual because you're not just like a civilian, but you're also not so low that you're doing the super crisp, where you're going, …

Luke Neverisky: Right. This noise reception.

Christopher Hooper: very audibly. it's a very structured loose as you're walking around with the suitcase. you get a few salutes and you send them back. and for the most part, no one seems to have a cost of you or anything. Go ahead and give me a perception check and…

Luke Neverisky: That is an ellip.

Christopher Hooper: 11. Okay. And you see this back wall in front of you. you don't think you see it seems to be clear. You don't hear anything on the other side of the wall so far. it seems like a good moment. Okay. Are you turning invisible or…

Luke Neverisky: Okay, then I'll use my handle or… guitar and fly on up and over. …

Christopher Hooper: are you staying visible at this point?

Luke Neverisky: I'll stay visible at this point. If I can't see or my perception check didn't yield anybody around, then I'm going to try to make it just without it.

Christopher Hooper: All right. You fly over the wall and basically tuck down on the other side in a small little grove with some orange trees. Give me a stealth check.

Luke Neverisky: 14 okay,…

Christopher Hooper: 14. you hear on the other side of the wall. Sir, Did you just fly over the wall, And this is happening. You hear this from the other side of the wall.

Luke Neverisky: no, no, you must be mistake Just checking the integrity of the wall here. We are all good. Return about your duties.

Christopher Hooper: What? You're on the How did you check the Well,… you were just on this side. Is there a opening?

Luke Neverisky: I'll sh here. Get back to your** duties now before I report you.

Christopher Hooper: All right. Give me an intimidation check.

Luke Neverisky: There we go. That is a 23.

Christopher Hooper: 23. … yes Yes, and you hear that? and go ahead and give me another perception check. 25. you're in this courtyard. You hear a couple people moving in the nearby buildings. It looks like someone's just about to come through an archway that goes directly into the courtyard.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. 25.

Christopher Hooper: You're not sure if they heard anything. but definitely they're about to come where you are.

Luke Neverisky: I mean I want to I guess get out of the orange tree area and… just get on the path and start walking towards the concert hall I belong here basically. So not trying to hide anything.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Go ahead and give me a dete a deception check here. All right. you are able to kind of shake off like you like form, no flustered or anything. you're able to get into and you kind of meet that person as they're coming in through the archway and they give you a salute.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. 20

Christopher Hooper: say sir and then they keep walking past you. and you're making your way to the auditorium. you can tuck your head in. basically the auditorium has this atrium area that wraps around the three doors to the center. And with that, what was that perception that you did?

Luke Neverisky: Let me check the log. 20. Perception was a 25.

Christopher Hooper: And the perception was a 25. Is that what you said?

Luke Neverisky: Perception was 25. Yeah, deception was the 20.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, you hear one person whistling inside the auditorium.

Luke Neverisky: Do I see where they are at all?

Christopher Hooper: Are you going inside?

Luke Neverisky: Yes. I'm going to poke my head in.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. … if you want, you can either keep your stealth or give me a slight handshake of 14.

[01:50:00]

Luke Neverisky: I'll key myself. Nope. Just kidding. I'll try slide it down.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, 19.

Luke Neverisky: That was a little good. That's a 19.

Christopher Hooper: you're able to just ease the door in and… catch it at the right angle. Do you try to slip in or just look inside?

Luke Neverisky: I'll look inside first.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, you pop your head in and there is someone cleaning up the aisles and sweeping picking up trash seems. And yeah.

Luke Neverisky: It's just one person here. Just them.

Christopher Hooper: Yep. Just one person.

Luke Neverisky: Cool. Then I guess I'm going to keep up the facade and… just stroll confidently into the concert hall with my carry-on suitcase the stage.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, cool. All right. where in the concert hall are you heading to, do you think? Okay, are you going to just go right on stage where

Luke Neverisky: So yeah, I mean I'd like to assuming that I'm in the stands or seats area, just go up one of the walkways, go to the stage, and maybe try to break line of sight by going a little backstage or something. yeah, I'm assuming there's nothing on stage. It's just so yeah, I guess just to the backstage, I guess.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. … and as I mentioned, so maybe I didn't explain exactly, there's a note tied to the briefcase.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm. Right.

Christopher Hooper: And on the cover is that living baby inside thing, but it's an envelope. with something inside the envelope. okay.

Luke Neverisky: … not just the baby thing. then I guess I would have liked to have opened it and read it prior to this engagement.

Christopher Hooper: Cool. So you read it earlier and it said whoever is setting bomb must be armed before we can trigger remotely. So open the thing up and arm it. Okay. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: I like the way he writes. Okay,… So, yeah, I'm going to want to get somewhere on stage where I am obscured a little bit because if I'm going to open this and tinker with it, I don't want the janitor to see me do it.

Christopher Hooper: All right. So you're going backstage with it, I assume. and yeah, give me, we'll say,… either slide a hand yourself here.

Luke Neverisky: Okay, is a 17 slide of hand.

Christopher Hooper: 17 slight of All So you start it's a zipper. So you know how anytime you try to do a zipper it's almost like louder… because Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah,… of course. Yeah, every single tooth is loud. Yeah. That's supposed to

Christopher Hooper: So, you end up being able to, you kind of time with noise that the janitor is making. And every time they seem to make a ruckus, you get and open that thing up. and there is a piece of paper colored with a big red arrow and it's pointing at this button that says arm.

Luke Neverisky: the button. or… yeah I'll press it.

Christopher Hooper: You press it,… a little screen lights up and it says it's a countdown timer and it's five. Four. …

Luke Neverisky: God damn it. can I press it again?

Christopher Hooper: and then it resets. Five, four, three.

Luke Neverisky: Does it make a beeping sound every time I hit it or… is it just reset?

Christopher Hooper: It just reset. Yeah. It says

Luke Neverisky: God damn it, All right. I guess I want to f**. wait, I might have something. no, I'm going to keep pressing this as I'm thinking. Maybe this is just a countdown to be armed. All right. I trust Brew and what he's doing. I'm gonna let it go to zero.

Christopher Hooper: In case you didn't want it armed,…

Luke Neverisky: I was like, I'm sure this is a open the door kind of thing.

Tyram: Why have a** countdown to it being armed?

Christopher Hooper: .

Luke Neverisky: That was God damn it, Brew. …

Tyram: like Justin.

Luke Neverisky: I'm going to close the lid on it. and…

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Luke Neverisky: if possible, put is there something like a blanket or a cloth or something or like that I could drape over it to just obscure it a little Awesome.

Christopher Hooper: There's huge theater drapes. There's cloth and stuff covering different instruments like drums and things. so there's tons of stuff like that available.

Luke Neverisky: right, I'll grab whatever something like that and just throw it over and then be on my way out. Mhm. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: All right. Give me just one last stealth check as you're getting out of here. And You're fully visible still. And you're flying out. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: But what I think I'm going to do, yeah, I am going to in viz and fly out, so I guess before I leave backstage,…

Christopher Hooper: Okay,…

Luke Neverisky: I'll cast some visibility and then head out outside.

Christopher Hooper: Give me that stealth check with advantage 13.

Luke Neverisky: I rolled once already. So, let's roll again and I got the same thing. Why? Uh 13.

Christopher Hooper: So, you hop out like an exit door and it just like the loudest slam behind you and you just make out, What? you turn invisible and hop over the wall and you see a little private padding the wall outside the wall.

Luke Neverisky: What? …

Christopher Hooper: But you're invisible.

Tyram: I was really hoping you would forget to call it that.

Christopher Hooper: You're flying over. You landed here. You going to fly off somewhere else? What are you doing?

Luke Neverisky: I mean, I guess I'd want to my business here. s***. I need to do mental talkies to George, so I guess then I got to look for can I see where any activity as far as units are as I'm like crusting the wall? Can I take in the view?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Go ahead and give me a perception check. 21. you see George is currently playing basketball in one of the small courtyards with six other people or five other

Luke Neverisky: 21. …

Christopher Hooper: Mhm.

[02:00:00]

Luke Neverisky: So, I'm not sure how I don't want to abuse anything. so with this two character sheet thing, I was using Helisana for this because again I was using role playing as her. Also, it doesn't have message…

Christopher Hooper: Really?

Luke Neverisky: but Liliana does. so okay cool…

Christopher Hooper: That's all right. It's all right.

Luke Neverisky: then mental we'll talk you then George it's me. You got to get out of here. We're all set.

Christopher Hooper: You don't hear anything back.

Luke Neverisky: George, you can reply to this message soon.

Christopher Hooper: Crazy. No, I can do that. what does it go off? We're almost done with this game.

Luke Neverisky: You got to find a way to make an excuse to get out of here.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, I'm going to roast these dudes and then I'm going to get out of here.

Luke Neverisky: I rose those students.

Christopher Hooper: All right. Thanks, man.

Tyram: God,… he sounds like such a** douchebag.

Christopher Hooper: And… at that point, you see the person you think of as George take a step back, let fly from distance. He misses, though. …

Tyram: Yeah. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: They look* cool doing it though,… I bet.

Christopher Hooper: you see him get ragged in a little bit and yeah. He got the message. yeah. Anything else? and otherwise where are you heading to? Park or apartment or what? I will say assuming the other two stayed at the park,…

Luke Neverisky: Let's see. I guess we're going to meet up with Finnegan at the docks.

Tyram: That was after we went to the tower.

Luke Neverisky: Okay, got it. Then I'll go to the park. I'll see if I can catch the other two there.

Christopher Hooper: they don't currently have the third suitcase really. …

Luke Neverisky: I should get it.

Christopher Hooper: so if you don't get it now, you'll have to get it after you nav a key card later.

Luke Neverisky: H isn't okay. So I bring it we have the pocket dimension. Is that what it's called? We could store it in there right for the time being.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yep.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Then I'll go back to the apartment or the whatever. and… I'll grab it and then try to meet them back up at the park after.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, cool. So, let's swap to the other group… who have been hanging out in the park for six hours.

Luke Neverisky: Y'all love the part.

Ali Leonard: park day.

Christopher Hooper: Park day. What did y'all do?

Tyram: What was Yeah,…

Ali Leonard: … we had to go get Cassandra a birthday present. doesn't. And…

Christopher Hooper: Mhm.

Ali Leonard: then we had to figure out our costumes for the party.

Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: And then we can use the hat of disguise obviously, but you want to perfect it. And also finding a present for Cassandra.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah,…

Tyram: you look like yesterday because they're expecting that person, All right.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I'll be that person which I think I was just myself.

Tyram: Didn't you make yourself like humans?

Christopher Hooper: I think that's…

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I'm so human myself.

Christopher Hooper: what you did. Yeah. …

Ali Leonard: Yeah, but then also we have to look like we're in that** Serat painting. Kill myself.

Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: But that's fine. Whatever. I'm thinking I'm going to look for a flower store and…

Christopher Hooper: What do you get her for her birthday?

Ali Leonard: get her some like a plant.

Christopher Hooper: Some flowers,…

Ali Leonard: Maybe not cut flowers, but a plant in a pretty pot like Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: a plant. Is it a flowering plant or…

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I think a flowering plant or…

Christopher Hooper: or a vine?

Ali Leonard: like herbs.

Tyram: I got edible arrangement or…

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: What's this?

Tyram: something. No.

Ali Leonard: No, we're friends. Or no, what? I'm gonna go to a boutique and get her a tea set.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Ali Leonard: That's I think more the vibe.

Luke Neverisky: Just perfect.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. I get what you're saying. Cool. Silus, are you getting anything?

Tyram: I'm gonna be I want to go to the location and… is there any waiters or… staff for this party? I didn't know if there was servers passing out or derves or something. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: I think it's just friends chilling.

Christopher Hooper: No, these were factory workers.

Ali Leonard: No, We're pores like waiters like Yeah,…

Tyram: Are there people who work at the park?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. … when you said waiters, I thought you might be talking about water waiters. because that is something you do see is people like cleaning up the ponds.

Tyram: I want to make myself look like someone who's working at the park. Yeah. I could wear the waiters and things like that.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, Easy enough. and Scarlet is going to grab it's like a picnic breakfast or picnic birthday. So, she went to one of those shops that has basically a picnic basket for picnics.

Ali Leonard: it's a Yes. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: That's like a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, like a jar of pickles.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. a I took Go cute. Yeah, absolutely.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. some salami and cheeses and stuff. and…

Tyram: Scarlet, don't be an idiot.

Christopher Hooper: you all go off, do your shopping, and then join back together and says, "Wow, this is such a great area. We should move here."

Ali Leonard: Wait, we'll have to buy a ticket,…

Christopher Hooper: Maybe after we overthrow the people or something. Okay.

Ali Leonard: Scarlet, because of all of the bigotry and the bad stuff.

Christopher Hooper: We'll kill all of them,…

Ali Leonard: I love the way you're thinking.

Luke Neverisky: There you go.

Christopher Hooper: right? And…

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. You'll never guess…

Christopher Hooper: then it'll be cool.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. If we can save the city, absolutely. But I'm just gonna Scarlet,…

Christopher Hooper: Selectively save the city again.

Ali Leonard: I'm going to tell you a little secret.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Ali Leonard: I'll probably just go wherever Lady Viper's going. Just so I don't want everybody to think I'm hung up on her, so I'm just going to tell you.

Tyram: We do think that impossible.

Ali Leonard: God damn Get out of my head. This I'm talking to Scarlet.

Christopher Hooper: I won't tell anybody. So, Silus.

Tyram: …

Christopher Hooper: My god. I got to tell you something.

Tyram: immediately betrayed that confidence.

Luke Neverisky: what else said.

Ali Leonard: I got to talk to about something completely different. Has nothing to do with you.

Christopher Hooper: And we're really close.

Tyram: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: And I'm not doing this to build rapport with him.

Tyram: What's up Okay,…

Christopher Hooper: This needs to be between you and I, but I think Elizabeth is really into Lady Viper.

Tyram: I got some news for you there, Scarlet. The sky is blue.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. yeah.

Luke Neverisky: Forgot about that.

Christopher Hooper: Just don't tell her I told you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen,…

Tyram: Don't tell her that you told me. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She going to stay with me. But no, real talk, Scarlet. I've been getting similar vibes. We were trying to wingman her when they were having their pre-dawn dinner before we left Greatport.

Christopher Hooper: I was getting vibes, but she basically told me she's in love with her.

Ali Leonard: I didn't save that at all.

Tyram: Elizabeth really didn't appreciate her wingmanning.

Christopher Hooper: She said she'd follow her anywhere.

Tyram: It's pretty ungrateful if you ask me, but yeah.

Ali Leonard: Who wouldn't?

Tyram: Wow. … I get her feeling, I feel that way about someone, too. Actually,…

Christopher Hooper: about brew.

Luke Neverisky: in the room.

Tyram: I feel like Silus would probably think of Okay, so there's an episode of Friends where Chandler was talking to Monica about their future together at a house and… whatever. They'd have a pets and kids and everything in an apartment over the garage where Joey could grow old.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, yeah,…

Tyram: I feel like that's how Silus feels about Brew. They are heterosexual life partners.

Christopher Hooper: yeah. I think we'd all be worried about Brew without Silus.

Luke Neverisky: That's good. Mhm.

Tyram: I think that's completely true. I mean, we're Brew and Silus and Brew or…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. …

Tyram: a package deal basically at this point.

Christopher Hooper: that's beautiful and a little bit much for me. Cool. …

Tyram: That wasn't who I was talking about, though. now.

[02:10:00]

Christopher Hooper: I just mean, yeah, wanting to spend forever with anybody.

Tyram: All So, you guys in mingle with the party guests and I'm going to try to kind of stay out of sight off to the side as one of the workers.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, I know we're all playing roles, but Silus,… you got to keep your head in the game. You have a big role today.

Ali Leonard: I was really trying.

Tyram: I'll try to do my best.

Christopher Hooper: I know you've always wanted to clean water, but at some point, you're going to need to take that key card. That's our only shot into the building.

Tyram: I'll try to keep my eyes on the prize. Thanks. you've already reminded me and…

Christopher Hooper: Do you need me to help remind you at some point?

Tyram: it's great that you did.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, I think you'll do great. And if not, I'll try to save your Okay.

Tyram: Thank you. After a couple weeks ago,…

Christopher Hooper: Have fun.

Tyram: we're over the ones… where we kind of had the whole guilty moment about not including Scarlet and anything like Silus is** trying here, man.

Christopher Hooper: My gosh, Elizabeth, I had such a great conversation with Silus and…

Ali Leonard: Yeah. …

Christopher Hooper: it wasn't even about you. Did you know he's super in love with that casino girl? Yeah. he said he would follow her anywhere.

Ali Leonard: that is new information. That's interesting because it's kind of similar to… what I said.

Christopher Hooper: I know. Isn't that weird?

Ali Leonard: Isn't that weird? Yeah, that's crazy. But you're picking up on things. Absolutely. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. No, I pick up on a lot. did you bring a teapot?

Ali Leonard: Yeah. you definitely do. Especially social cues wise. Yeah, it's a birthday present. Do you know…

Christopher Hooper: Cool.

Ali Leonard: what Do you know what a birthday is?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. No.

Ali Leonard: Do you get presents? Okay, we're going to have to unpack that. When is your birthday? And you know what? Let me put it in my calendar.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah,… it was roughly 300 years ago.

Ali Leonard: 300 years ago.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,…

Ali Leonard: That's when you were birth 300 years ago. Under an apple tree.

Christopher Hooper: under an apple tree. Yep. …

Ali Leonard: What? Sorry, cat's trying to get under the sink. What day of the month was it?

Christopher Hooper: they say that I started eating apples almost directly out of the womb.

Ali Leonard: This

Christopher Hooper: So, I think it must have been probably late summer,…

Ali Leonard: Apple season.

Christopher Hooper: early autumn.

Ali Leonard: Apple season.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: We've got a lot to unpack here, Scarlet. …

Christopher Hooper: That's my birthday.

Ali Leonard: that's your birthday. Late summer,…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: early autumn. Okay, I'll just kind of that.

Christopher Hooper: They said it I would grow to be adventurous. Yep. …

Ali Leonard: Who's they?

Christopher Hooper: my parents.

Ali Leonard: Your parents,…

Christopher Hooper: They said that's what it meant. Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: And you're 300 years old.

Christopher Hooper: I am an elf.

Ali Leonard: Isn't that older than Olivia? You're an elf. You are. You know what? I forget how time works.

Christopher Hooper: I know it's a good disguise,… but come on.

Ali Leonard: I did forget that elves live a long time. Ally did.

Tyram: I forgot that. I actually was remembering Scarlet is being a human. this further substantiates the established lore with Iro that humans live for hundreds of years.

Ali Leonard: So, we'll just kind of celebrate your birthday.

Christopher Hooper: Maybe some

Ali Leonard: We'll have a birthday celebration in this time. And I have a big circle around a couple months in my day planner.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Whenever. …

Ali Leonard: Yeah. We're going to throw your party, girl. So,…

Christopher Hooper: a party. No, you don't have to do that.

Ali Leonard: So, I don't know. It may not just be Elvin, but in my family, and you're now a part of my family, we celebrate birthdays every year.

Christopher Hooper: My god,… it's so many.

Ali Leonard: It's so well. So, yeah, for I guess it depends…

Luke Neverisky: That's true.

Tyram: That kind of like a dark turn there, honestly.

Ali Leonard: because Brew wouldn't get as many obviously as you.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, he has to cherish life.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. It's a Okay, rip. but even like me and Olivia, we have more than maybe a human, but we still like to get together with family and…

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: So we get little presents and it's kind of like Christmas but for yourself maybe the best situated right just enough.

Christopher Hooper: I don't know if this is weird to say, but I think dwarfs are the best situated, super long lives, but not too long. you still are doing these party things that you do.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: That's so cool.

Ali Leonard: Because we want to spend time with our family and we don't get tired of them because we're not here for a thousand years. Yeah, I can see that.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Do you only have one family? Is that a thing?

Ali Leonard: Do you have more than one? That's interesting.

Christopher Hooper: I just mean how long can you stay with one family,

Ali Leonard: I don't really understand the question. forever.

Tyram: Have we made it to the party yet?

Ali Leonard: This is me and Scarlet just casually strolling to the party and you're just like, Shut up. Yeah. No.

Christopher Hooper: I thought y'all had already split and Silus is in his waiter gear At some point,…

Tyram: Okay. Sure. I think Silus wouldn't want to be here for this.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I figured it was just me and Scarlet. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: someone in the party walks up and says, " Elmith, I'm so glad you came." Oh, and what's this?

Tyram: You didn't use your real name, did you?

Ali Leonard: I don't think I used my real name.

Christopher Hooper: I think you did.

Ali Leonard: Did I?

Christopher Hooper: Did you?

Ali Leonard: I had it pulled up.

Christopher Hooper: let me know if you have another one.

Ali Leonard: I had it pulled up cuz Cassandra's the birthday girl and… Gracie was my other friend.

Christopher Hooper: If you think you did,… you can give me one session 60.

Ali Leonard: I didn't think I used my real name. Okay, I had to go back Here we go. session is she made friends. It doesn't say that I changed my name.

Tyram: I feel like we were congratulating you and doing much better job with the whole lying and… infiltrating thing. I feel like I definitely would have remembered Silus scolding you for using your real name if you

Christopher Hooper: I think you did that for Fredo… where I think she did use her real name thing and…

Ali Leonard: I definitely use my real name for Fredo.

Christopher Hooper: then I think you were more sly. Do you want to give me a fake name that you used?

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I don't know what I would have used. And I'm so sad that that GPT didn't make a mention of it cuz it's probably genius. probably amazing.

Christopher Hooper: that name you definitely came up with.

Tyram: GPT seems to only care when I do something.

Ali Leonard: I know. That's in love with you.

Tyram: It might be and that's kind of unsettling.

Christopher Hooper: Let's see what the session notes say about you. All right. What you got, e? My name's Cassandra.

Ali Leonard: I'm going to be Sorry, my cats are chasing each other. I'm gonna be No,…

Tyram: any name would be fine here.

Ali Leonard: her name's I can't be Cassandra.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Damn it.

Ali Leonard: That's her name. I'm gonna be Stephanie.

Christopher Hooper: Cassandra Gracie s***.

Ali Leonard: Elmith. No, that's me. I'm gonna be Stephanie from Full House.

Christopher Hooper: Stephanie, I'm so glad you came. And who's your friend?

Ali Leonard: This is my friend Mary. She's, day off as well, different department. so we thought we'd tag along.

Christopher Hooper: My gosh. Let me take this big basket for me. Here's where all the food is over here.

Ali Leonard: And this is just a little present for Cassandra.

Christopher Hooper: My this is beautiful. And then Cassandra walks up. She's got this gorgeous white with inlaid summer dress on and she's got her hair and a tiara little bun in the back.

Ali Leonard: Absolutely. Absolutely.

[02:20:00]

Christopher Hooper: He says, " my gosh, it's so I can't believe you made it. This tea set is me. my gosh.

Ali Leonard: It Look at this. It matches you so well. Happy birthday.

Christopher Hooper: This is great. Did I tell you I love tea? my god.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I could. girl, it's perfect. And this is great. We all get to be together.

Christopher Hooper: And the boys should be here in an hour. I think they're playing basketball or…

Ali Leonard: Classic.

Christopher Hooper: something this morning. And then we're gonna go ahead and dig into some wine and some mimosas. And then I think we're going to all jump into the lake. So, I hope you brought swim stuff,…

Ali Leonard: Scandalous. It'll be fine.

Christopher Hooper: but if you don't like I'm just going to go my underwear cuz Who?

Ali Leonard: Absolutely. It'll be fine. It'll be fun.

Christopher Hooper: pairs. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Who cares? It's a day off.

Christopher Hooper: And Gracie chimes in here and says, "I heard they're using today to switch shifts.

Tyram: That is actually true.

Christopher Hooper: I heard they're going to lay us off tomorrow." Scarlet chimes in.

Ali Leonard: No, I know, but I can't tell them that I know that.

Christopher Hooper: that's terrible. What are you going to do next? Recy says, " I don't know. I'm gonna have to move in bed with my mom again, and she's a hoarder. It's going to be awful." I'm thinking about leaving,…

Ali Leonard: My gosh. My gosh.

Christopher Hooper: but I'm really scared. I heard they don't even have lights in other cities.

Ali Leonard: Interesting. like street lights.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, like street lights.

Ali Leonard: No, I think they do. I have a friend who travels a lot just like Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Really?

Ali Leonard: And so it's like the only things that are really different is that they don't have a lot of planes. They are mostly like they have some obviously…

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: because they have to get around, but it's mostly a lot of cars and bikes and it's like a lot of the cities are very good at public transportation,… a lot of boats if you're going across the sea to the goblin turtle or whatever. but no, they're very civilized I've heard she loves it. She travels a lot.

Christopher Hooper: really. Wow,…

Ali Leonard: And she feels really safe as well.

Christopher Hooper: that is good to I heard that there were dragons though.

Ali Leonard: I think it kind of depends on where you go. She said there were dragons.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Ali Leonard: There were dragons at that dwarf city, but there's not anymore. this group saved it. I think she said they were called Taco Cat.

Christopher Hooper: Wow.

Ali Leonard: Isn't that crazy?

Christopher Hooper: Are they a new form of soldiers from Eldorian soldiers or…

Ali Leonard: It's like So they're not Eldoran actually.

Christopher Hooper: something? What?

Ali Leonard: It's like a rag tag group of dwarves and… goblins and halflakes. It's crazy. And they're amazing. Crazy maze. And it's like a ragtag group of heroes.

Christopher Hooper: That's good for them.

Ali Leonard: And they're saving cities and stuff. none of them are Aldorans.

Christopher Hooper: And none of them are Eldoran humans.

Ali Leonard: They have a friend who I've heard is Aldorin.

Christopher Hooper: That's so good for them.

Ali Leonard: Right. Absolutely.

Christopher Hooper: I know it's probably really tough But they don't let it stop them. That's so cool.

Ali Leonard: They don't let get them down and… they actually get it done which is crazy.

Christopher Hooper: That's really cool.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. There.

Christopher Hooper: If they can do it and…

Ali Leonard: I wonder if there's going to be books about him or something. Then we can definitely do it,…

Christopher Hooper: they're not humans, then I definitely can for sure.

Ali Leonard: I don't like supporting that, but I'm going to do it anyway. if somebody's looking at Elsa,…

Christopher Hooper: right, this is …

Ali Leonard: she's just like a pawn skimmer just If it's a Yeah,…

Tyram: is silence with an earshot of any of this.

Christopher Hooper: I mean, you're not too far and they're not too quiet. Yeah.

Tyram: Okay, S is going to do the work here and I'm going to try to look around the group to see… if I spot the scientist that we're looking for.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,… after a while it looks like and…

Ali Leonard: cuz they said they were showing up later.

Luke Neverisky: All right.

Christopher Hooper: Liliana we'll say you come in about this time too. Sorry I forgot yeah you were arriving later. so you join and go ahead I'll give it to you for free. you come in and you're arriving behind a couple of the guys that were playing basketball with George. They're coming into the park and it looks like they're all carrying backpacks and work gym bags and stuff like that. and are otherwise in shirts and shirts a very 1950s military shorts and t-shirts tucked in a shirt type of thing. and they're walking in front of you as you're coming into the park.

Ali Leonard: It resembles us.

Christopher Hooper: And you see Elizabeth and Scarlet or at least something that kind of looks like Rimles them. and you see kind of like that party going on just right beside the lake. And it looks like a few people are starting to take off clothes. and you see a woman with a beautiful dress on waving says, " Over here." and you see the guys in front of you say, " there. Yeah, here we go. are you all jumping in? Let's do it." And then at this point, the boys just start tossing all their stuff off and leaving their bags and everyone's starting to quickly throw clothes off and run into the lake.

Tyram: Is it Tuesday already?

Christopher Hooper: Silus you have just nude and…

Ali Leonard: I Is there anybody not jumping in?

Christopher Hooper: semi-nude people running towards you now. that's roughly the face that I think Silence gives.

Luke Neverisky: Just another day for silence. Am I right?

Christopher Hooper: And yeah, you see, waves of people and Scarlet's going to do what else does, so waiting on your queue, Ally. there is a person that is putting on a t-shirt, like a e extra extra-l large t-shirt and…

Ali Leonard: Yeah. God damn it.

Christopher Hooper: running in on that. But pretty much everyone's going in.

Ali Leonard: In my disguise self, is there a way for me to put a swimsuit on underneath my dress?

Christopher Hooper: I don't think so.

Ali Leonard: Probably not.

Christopher Hooper: You want to give me some sort of dis deception check or… performance? Some skills you're good at?

Ali Leonard: I'm gonna Is there like a washroom or… a bush I could go behind to change?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. You're in a park. You could find a little quiet place to tuck away if you wanted to excuse yourself for a second. yeah,…

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I'll do that. I'm going to go change. And I go to a heavily wooded area.

Christopher Hooper: me too.

Ali Leonard: A f***.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, we did not know about this.

Ali Leonard: Yeah, we didn't plan for this. I was going to kind of hide away and do a disguise self into a swimsuit.

Christopher Hooper: I think that's a really good idea. yeah,…

Ali Leonard: So if you want to do a watch out for me,…

Christopher Hooper: let's do that.

Ali Leonard: I can watch out for What do we disguise? Because we can't know that we're disguising stuff.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Go ahead. And…

Ali Leonard: And then I do that.

Christopher Hooper: then she does the same. let's go ahead and give a stealth check here.

Ali Leonard: We're so good at between the two of us. We're so good at this.

Christopher Hooper: We got this.

Ali Leonard: Hey girl.

Christopher Hooper: What's up?

Ali Leonard: Hey We got it. Hey girl.

Tyram: Okay, let's not waste that 20 on this.

Ali Leonard: We got it. can I add anything to my stealth?

Christopher Hooper: My god. she rolled an 18 and…

Ali Leonard: What' she get? my gosh.

Christopher Hooper: her portants are 19 and 20 for the day.

Ali Leonard: I got a notn An unnatural colony.

Christopher Hooper: an unnatural 20.

[02:30:00]

Ali Leonard: Hold on.

Christopher Hooper: The both of you are able to watch for each other. able to stash some stuff. y'all managed to find in your normal bags that you have with you some blanket stuff that you may just make be able to look like it was your clothes. that you're able to just shift around in your bagging and stuff. and then y'all run off into the lake, I guess. Liliana, are you joining or…

Ali Leonard: All right.

Christopher Hooper: what are you doing at this point?

Luke Neverisky: No I won't be joining in the lake. but I guess is silus you are maintaining above water right?

Tyram: Yeah, I'm maintaining my cover.

Luke Neverisky: right cool then I'll stroll nonchalantly towards silus.

Christopher Hooper: All right, cool. And All right, Silus, everyone has left their clothes and bags as they've run to go swimming.

Tyram: Does that include our scientist buddy?

Christopher Hooper: Yep. Yeah,…

Tyram: Was I able to keep my eye on him and see where he dropped his clothes?

Christopher Hooper: he was like with the guys that Liliana was walking behind. so they all just dumped their bags and ran into the pond.

Tyram: Is there a bag near anything that I'm trying to if I can sneak over and grab it without anybody noticing me, that'd be ideal. So, is there anything that I could use to block vision as I go towards… where they left their bag.

Christopher Hooper: Unfortunately they like maybe probably 15 feet at the least close…

Tyram: Okay. …

Christopher Hooper: but it's pretty out into the open.

Tyram: I'm going to send out a message to all my teammates. I can probably go and scoop the ticket up really quick,…

Christopher Hooper: Cool. my god. No.

Tyram: but if you guys can make a distraction for me for just a few seconds, I can probably do it.

Ali Leonard: Okay. I start splashing people. I'm looking at me and…

Tyram: Okay, so literally everyone's looking at this,…

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Tyram: Can't deny that. Yes.

Ali Leonard: then having I'm splashing all the guys, which we're going to start splashing all the girls. it.

Christopher Hooper: What about you, Liliana? You got anything?

Luke Neverisky: …

Ali Leonard: I can't dunk any of the guys. I feel like they're going to dunk me. And I can't get under the water cuz I think my hated disguise would come off.

Luke Neverisky: no, I don't think so. yeah, I don't think so.

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Luke Neverisky: Just taking in the vibes.

Christopher Hooper: It seems like so in that case the people in the water are distracted…

Luke Neverisky: Keep on having fun.

Tyram: Okay. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: but you're otherwise still exposed in this area. Silus are you sure you don't want to try to create some other like you want to help Silus out here Liliana? I feel like you have a lot of spells that you could do for it.

Luke Neverisky: sure that's a good idea. Ignore that role. need a distraction, right? Some sort of distraction.

Christopher Hooper: Distraction or… even cover cuz he's having to go into a pretty open field to get through some bags.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. I wonder if Hang on. where's the spell? Come on. Where? for it. I wonder if I can use hallucinatory terrain and have part of that be a natural feature that just blocks stylus from view. …

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I think you could. I think for that probably I would say either performance or slight of hand to go with casting that just to make it try to look not super obvious that a hill or a tree sprung up out of nowhere.

Luke Neverisky: then I'm going to try performance. okay 4 minutes is a 22.

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Ali Leonard: That's good.

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Luke Neverisky: So basically want to recreate if possibly in 10 years to recreate almost like what it looks like normally but instead there's just maybe like a giant boulder or something where Silus is going to be.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. maybe able to create …

Tyram: Maybe like a flock of ducks or… something like flying in the area.

Luke Neverisky: All right. I like it.

Christopher Hooper: that's a cool idea. n.

Luke Neverisky: f*** ducks.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, they kind of fly in. both giving you a moment of visual disguise and All right, Sus, hop in.

Tyram: I'm gonna try to use the cover that Liliana is making for me. And I just want to make a beline towards the bag, scoop the badge out of it, and just keep on moving. I'm going to try my best to just be in and… out within a six-second period. I can bonus action to dash…

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Tyram: if that helps me cover the ground.

Christopher Hooper: So, you can either give me a stealth or… a slight of hand or you can run slight of hand with advantage.

Tyram: I should roll both.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. 27.

Tyram: I'm confident I can do this without advantage. all right. So, stealth is a 27 and…

Christopher Hooper: Okay. …

Tyram: I can boost that if you need me to.

Christopher Hooper: that should be okay depending on your slight of hand.

Tyram: All I'll go and try to do slide of hand and… I'll get a 26.

Christopher Hooper: 26. Okay. So, yes, you've been swifter and quieter before, but it does the job with these birds. You're able to kind of time your swoop in with them. get in there and then you take a quick glance through a like as you're moving to the bags,…

Ali Leonard: Let's see.

Christopher Hooper: it's obvious which one is this researcher. He's got a lab coat sticking out and on it has the clipped passcode and then you're just able pull it out and grab it and then you're out of there. All right.

Tyram: Okay, I'm just going to run to some bushes or… something and jump in there and wait for everybody else to be ready to leave and I'll be ready to bounce out as soon as we're done here. I was hoping we'd be done in a few minutes,…

Christopher Hooper: Great. And the rest of you, have a nice picnic. little swim. and depending on that, is how long Silus is hanging out in this book.

[02:40:01]

Ali Leonard: Okay. Get up.

Tyram: but if 10 minutes go by and everyone's still around, I'll try to sneak my way out and I don't know,…

Christopher Hooper: Okay. …

Tyram: go grab a watermelon slice or… something. I don't know. …

Christopher Hooper: And I was really hoping to get to the research center. But I think we should probably call it a night because it's getting late and we've got two east coast east Eastern timers.

Luke Neverisky: Hey, that's me.

Ali Leonard: That's me.

Christopher Hooper: That's you too. we're so close.

Tyram: we can sit in judgment of the job that Brew and… Olivia do in their leg of the journey next week.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,… exactly. … but Pretty good. Did y'all have fun?

Ali Leonard: Yeah, it's all coming together.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Tyram: Yeah, feels like we got a good heist coming together.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, cool. The anti- heist.

Tyram: or an anti- heist I guess.

Christopher Hooper: Thank you all.

Ali Leonard: Bless. I'll be here. Bye

Luke Neverisky: All right.

Christopher Hooper: Hope you have a great week and…

Luke Neverisky: Thanks, Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: I hope we play next week.

Tyram: right.

Christopher Hooper: All right.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. All right.

Tyram: Good night everyone.
