Episode 8
Season 2, Episode 8fucked i knew you were gonna say this i'm having an existential crisis i just died and it was
horrifying and i did everything i could and i was invisible and then i wasn't and then you i mean
everything you did hide that's a lot let's do a little bit less of that maybe i just don't i don't
see any other way out of this some some i think we're just gonna have to build a giant robot out of
bar parts do you know how to build a robot i i i think we can do it i think we can do it i think
i mean we've got a can-do attitude we've got ropes we've got uh hinges off the doors um we can make
this work you've picked a strange time to develop a can-do attitude a strange subject about which to
have a can-do attitude well if you have any other ideas i'd like to hear them um i have no robot making
experience and i know you don't either um although you are magical um i think maybe instead of building
new humanoid robots um maybe we use the people here and make them into a robot how does that work
yes no not that will you listen to yourself dad you're embarrassing me again in front of everyone
here you're right we have to get everyone united to build this robot people gather around get your
things we're gonna start taking things off no no we're gonna use the toilet for a head get it
i love how you you had you had literally an eternity to uh think about what we were going to do our next
steps and the best you could come up with building a robot out of toilets parts you know tubes and glass
that's tubes and glass don't make a bar tubes and glass make a motorcycle well what did you say fire
and glass fire well there's definitely fire there must be fire here we could just make a bar golem it's
like magic or something i think i can probably do you have a bar golem spell a golem spell i mean you
learn one soon what if we just built me an r like a robot that'd be for me to hide inside while it fought
against the robots i'm trying to think here i'm running out of steam all right fine fine you're right
you're right this is a this is a this is a greenhouse this is what we talked about in school it's a safe
space there's just no bad ideas let's just get it all out there except the toilet one that one was bad
but all the other ones they're probably good just let it flow let it flow i don't have any other ideas
all right while you guys are arguing about this layla the lizard comes up and walks to your boot
i'd like some i'd like some yeast yeah how would yeah how are we doing the taste the yeast is fresh out
no you said that last time but i know there's yeast back there and i right there how about how
about this and i coyly slide a uh gold piece towards her she picks it up puts it in her pocket
i think that was my tip here's a tip i remember i remember you two from last time and uh that's the
most i ever got out of you wait so they they remember uh wait so layla you remember the last
time your memory persists yeah that fire was fun you remember when you killed us oh yeah that's not
nice this is the best time i've had in a long time all these other people i've killed so many times it
just gets boring oh well we're gonna go that way that's i'm glad we added some levity to your life
there's like no fight to any of them so i got a question if they were someone were to fight you um
mine for one is is redheads i'm and you know that's my weakness for instance if i turned your bar
into a giant fighting robot would that be a threat no as a robot i think they would probably join
what actually that's a really good idea i might make one myself a robot bar robot yeah you are a
bar robot i'm gonna make another one you know what layla we need a little more time to think about
why don't you give us a minute okay and she walks away that did not go well but i don't know what
else to do i get paid i panic and i panic and just ask for help from the enemy i thought i was being
clever and i was i i i do you have zone of truth do i have what zone of truth what is that it's a spell
maybe made up but i heard about it in a book once it definitely exists i don't know what can you learn
thank you professional is always dead how all right okay robot let's just table that for now
maybe let's just call it a maybe i i don't know how to make a robot you have no robot spells
cannon fodder maybe we'll gum up the works of the robots or something or maybe they can fight i don't
see you made me feel really bad about the robot idea but you want to use people as cannon fodder
gumming up the works who raised you where did you get this notion from for god's sakes they're people
are they i mean they've died thousands and millions of times are they really people i mean if we're going
to get philosophical about it they're probably closer are we really people are we really people
i don't know i asked myself i'm asking myself the same thing listen i found it best not to ask about
anything just to fill your life with meaningless things until we get to the end well we've got a we've got
11 hours until until you give up with a bad idea daddy's gonna be in the back pulling up the toilet to make a robot head
and now i'm in the bathroom sitting on the toilet crying you do your own thing i'll do mine
all right uh i'm gonna saddle up to um let's just say i don't know why i'm sideways but i'm gonna
saddle up to this this table over here okay and i'm gonna say so guys um maybe we got off on the wrong
oh it was probably that middle-aged crying man i don't remember his name but i call him dad sometimes just because i don't know
oh smoke inhalation you know the the standard stuff or maybe arrows i don't you know honestly it was a blur
i one of the robots took one of the pizza things off the off the wall you know the thing they use to get the pizza out of the oven
the owlbear flipped one of the stools upside down just threw me on top of it and impaled me
oh so were you really killed you were killed by yourself and your bad choices it sounds like
and i go to walk over by the toilet like i'm like half of the toilet and put my hands on the toilet like
But you rightly said this is the sort of thing that they teach in GM classes that makes people feel uncomfortable.
And then I walk towards the bathroom and I look like, I try to make it look like I'm walking
As you hold your hands and thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flame shoot out forth from your outstretched fingertips.
