- Crew of the Kahuna

00:00:00

hail the junk fort boys in the night they roam at bay solving woes with fire and explode

00:00:09

with a clash and a crash and a twist of fate explosions mark the hours never late

00:00:15

hello i'm i'm tiger i i play charles ander juckles no yeah charles ander juckles double

00:00:25

day.

00:00:25

That's right.

00:00:27

And I'm a tinker

00:00:29

with an onion and a guts fixer, a machine with a knack

00:00:30

for the nuts.

00:00:33

And a fact

00:00:34

that people don't know about

00:00:37

Juckles is

00:00:39

that while all of the other boys

00:00:40

were learning to read,

00:00:43

Juckles was just

00:00:44

taking apart random things that he

00:00:46

could find everywhere and never

00:00:48

putting them back together.

00:00:50

Like his tricycle.

00:00:52

But then other stuff in the town.

00:00:56

you know

00:00:57

fire hydrants

00:00:59

do they have fire hydrants in here?

00:01:00

horse and buggies

00:01:03

light posts

00:01:05

no not the horses

00:01:07

I mean he did take apart that bird that one time

00:01:09

and that's when Uncle Skulloch told him

00:01:11

never murder anything

00:01:13

it was very formative

00:01:14

never kill anything

00:01:16

yeah but that's why he never learned to read

00:01:18

he didn't think he would need to

00:01:19

that he could just figure it out by taking it apart

00:01:22

he never realized that you could just take

00:01:24

I mean, what are words but things to take apart in sentences and paragraphs?

00:01:30

Yeah, but he never puts anything back together.

00:01:33

I mean, eventually he had to when people started getting real mad because he never really grew when all the other people grew.

00:01:46

So he was always kind of small.

00:01:47

And at a certain point,

00:01:49

you know,

00:01:50

you get threatened physically if he were to take apart,

00:01:53

say,

00:01:54

a high schooler's buggy convertible and his prom date.

00:01:59

Not take apart the prom date, but the prom date was in the buggy.

00:02:04

I love that.

00:02:05

I love the idea that he's got a convertible buggy,

00:02:07

so it's just a cart.

00:02:10

Juggles didn't.

00:02:11

It was the,

00:02:12

you know.

00:02:12

No, no, the other guy.

00:02:14

Yeah.

00:02:14

The jock.

00:02:16

The jock, yeah.

00:02:16

Is it just a rickshaw?

00:02:19

Yeah.

00:02:20

Are you just riding a horse at that point?

00:02:21

Really?

00:02:24

Well, no, there's a prom date there.

00:02:27

All right.

00:02:28

I love it.

00:02:30

Excellent.

00:02:30

Wait, I got to write that down.

00:02:32

Shuckles.

00:02:33

Yes.

00:02:34

Yes, please record this.

00:02:35

Let the record show.

00:02:38

I write it down.

00:02:39

If I understand it or read it later,

00:02:41

you know,

00:02:42

that's on me.

00:02:46

Okay.

00:02:46

I can go next.

00:02:49

Hi,

00:02:49

I'm Bridget.

00:02:50

I play all the other characters.

00:02:53

And this is about your date tonight,

00:02:55

Evelyn.

00:02:57

Evelyn was not originally going to be a TA.

00:03:00

She really just wanted to get her degree and dipped.

00:03:03

But, you know, she found that she really has a knack for university life.

00:03:07

Also,

00:03:08

she doesn't want to pay them bills when she graduates.

00:03:10

So,

00:03:11

you know, forever student.

00:03:13

Rack them up.

00:03:14

Rack it up.

00:03:17

Could I have done that?

00:03:21

What?

00:03:22

Could I have done that, just stayed in college

00:03:24

the rest of my life?

00:03:25

Yeah, they only start charging you once you graduate.

00:03:27

If you never graduate,

00:03:28

I mean, if you just keep getting degrees,

00:03:29

you know, never have to pay.

00:03:30

She's really gaming the system.

00:03:32

Wow, she's got it all figured out.

00:03:34

I can't believe I'm dating her.

00:03:37

You're dating everybody.

00:03:38

I thought you were dating the other girl, Lady of High Hill.

00:03:41

Listen,

00:03:41

Juckles has a lot of holes

00:03:42

in his psyche that need filled by other people.

00:03:46

by women.

00:03:46

He's got a lot of holes he needs filled

00:03:48

by women.

00:03:50

Women and others.

00:03:53

And father figures.

00:03:55

They've got you pegged.

00:04:00

Oh, I see what you did there.

00:04:03

And various other people that tussle his hair.

00:04:11

All right.

00:04:12

I'm Andy.

00:04:13

I played Tarquish Squish Sunder.

00:04:16

Something,

00:04:17

something,

00:04:17

Colder of Boom Boom Sauce,

00:04:19

I think is what it says.

00:04:23

And

00:04:24

pushback this time is that

00:04:26

he has tinnitus

00:04:28

really badly, but only in one year.

00:04:32

So he doesn't have tinnitus that badly.

00:04:34

Only has.

00:04:35

In one year, he's got it really badly.

00:04:40

Which one is it?

00:04:41

Is that the mystery?

00:04:43

That's a mystery. You'll never know.

00:04:44

You'll have to find out.

00:04:46

It keeps switching ears, so he's never quite sure.

00:04:48

He's not sure which one it is.

00:04:50

Wasn't that hump on the other arm?

00:04:53

What hump?

00:04:54

He thinks he's got tinnitus,

00:04:56

but it keeps switching ears,

00:04:57

so he's just

00:04:58

really confused.

00:05:01

Was it from anything?

00:05:03

Like a gun?

00:05:04

No.

00:05:05

Not that he knows.

00:05:07

It's just something that he's always had.

00:05:10

Yeah, he's never really put it together.

00:05:11

He's not really sure.

00:05:13

yeah he just thinks everyone has a ring in their ears that switches

00:05:18

so it's another one of those things where he thinks everybody's like him but it turns out no

00:05:23

one is like him because he's never seen or heard himself yes oh because he's also colorblind too

00:05:30

which i yes you know do remember he's also so he doesn't even know he's red he thinks he's great

00:05:35

No, he's not 100% colorblind.

00:05:40

That may or may not be for next week.

00:05:43

Are you colored?

00:05:44

You're just going through the senses.

00:05:46

Turns out he can't feel anything in his left foot.

00:05:50

His sense of taste is impeccable.

00:05:52

That's why he's a cook.

00:05:54

All his senses are absolutely fucked.

00:05:57

Oh,

00:05:57

like Daredevil.

00:05:59

Yeah,

00:05:59

he's a reverse Daredevil.

00:06:03

Where one sense got fucked up for Daredevil,

00:06:05

all his senses got fucked up for

00:06:08

Squish.

00:06:09

Yeah.

00:06:11

Maybe.

00:06:13

He can't feel his foot because he lost his toe.

00:06:17

He lost his toe.

00:06:21

I don't know if you've lost a limb yet.

00:06:23

I think you did.

00:06:23

I thought you lost a toe in this one.

00:06:26

Maybe it was...

00:06:28

What was your other...

00:06:29

I assume at some point in time

00:06:32

you're going to lose a toe, and I'm excited

00:06:33

just to be a part of it.

00:06:35

You're going to cut his toe off?

00:06:37

Well,

00:06:38

not me deliberately,

00:06:39

but as a not playing,

00:06:41

you know,

00:06:44

as a not character,

00:06:45

I'm just excited to see

00:06:46

when is it going to happen.

00:06:50

If he didn't get it cut off

00:06:51

when he jumped into the Leviathan,

00:06:53

I don't know when it's going to happen.

00:06:56

That's true.

00:06:57

Yeah, Leviathans are known for toes,

00:06:59

you know, being cut off

00:07:00

when you get eaten by them.

00:07:02

All those Leviathan attacks by old Nessie were all toe-based.

00:07:08

They're the jalapeno poppers of the foot.

00:07:11

Does Nessie count as a Leviathan?

00:07:15

Nessie's not real.

00:07:17

Yeah, neither are Leviathans.

00:07:18

And Leviathans are.

00:07:21

Neither are half demons.

00:07:25

That's not true.

00:07:28

That's where you draw the line.

00:07:31

Ghosts are real, but like

00:07:33

not Loch Ness, not monsters.

00:07:35

Not Loch Ness.

00:07:38

Okay.

00:07:40

Alright,

00:07:40

Patches.

00:07:41

Oh.

00:07:43

I'm Boo,

00:07:44

and

00:07:45

I play a character with a more

00:07:47

ridiculous nickname than my real life.

00:07:50

Patches.

00:07:52

Cafe.

00:07:55

Co-Captain

00:07:56

Connor Patches McKenzie.

00:07:58

And,

00:07:59

uh,

00:08:00

me fun fact for this week is

00:08:03

me mother

00:08:04

she died at the sea

00:08:06

when me was we

00:08:11

and my father afterwards

00:08:13

and my father afterwards

00:08:14

he raised me

00:08:17

raised by my father me

00:08:19

the father you hate

00:08:22

I hate him now

00:08:23

he was quite neglectful

00:08:25

but he did raise me

00:08:26

so it's a complicated relationship

00:08:31

All right.

00:08:31

And he gave you your love of the sea.

00:08:33

And he gave me the love of the sea.

00:08:35

But your mom was lost to the sea.

00:08:38

My mom was lost for the sea.

00:08:40

Wow.

00:08:40

Lost to the sea?

00:08:41

Lost in the sea.

00:08:42

Lost to the sea.

00:08:45

And, uh,

00:08:45

yeah.

00:08:47

Did you grow up on a boat?

00:08:48

What if she's alive?

00:08:50

I mean,

00:08:51

near a boat.

00:08:53

Was it your boat?

00:08:53

Near a boat?

00:08:54

What was it?

00:08:55

Parked in your driveway?

00:08:58

It was somebody else's boat?

00:08:59

It was the neighbor's boat?

00:09:00

How many facts are I supposed to be giving this week?

00:09:02

I don't know, just playing in the space.

00:09:04

Fair enough.

00:09:06

Driveway boat is next week's fact.

00:09:08

Aye,

00:09:09

boy, don't be looking at the neighbor's boat.

00:09:12

Someday, we'll have a boat.

00:09:15

Papa, why did they get to park their boat in the driveway?

00:09:18

The H-Y-S says it's not allowed.

00:09:20

Shut up, boy,

00:09:21

or you're going in the ocean like your mother.

00:09:25

He was never okay after that.

00:09:32

Me father.

00:09:33

After my mother was off to the sea.

00:09:36

Me father.

00:09:38

It's great if you just referred him as me father.

00:09:40

Never use that wrong possessive any other time.

00:09:43

Just me father.

00:09:45

It's just me father.

00:09:47

There's this funny scene.

00:09:48

Unrelated.

00:09:48

There's this funny scene in the movie Popeye.

00:09:50

I don't know why.

00:09:51

It was just on TV the other night.

00:09:52

Oh, we watched it a little bit.

00:09:54

He's looking at this picture.

00:09:55

and he goes, ah,

00:09:57

me papa,

00:09:58

me papa.

00:09:59

And then he turns the camera

00:10:01

and the camera looks like, and it just says the words

00:10:03

me papa. He doesn't actually have a picture of them.

00:10:09

Otherwise,

00:10:10

very fine film.

00:10:13

Town still exists to this day.

00:10:15

Random facts.

00:10:17

Does it really?

00:10:18

Yeah.

00:10:18

It's a tourist attraction.

00:10:20

Thanks, Robin Williams.

00:10:23

Rip.

00:10:23

Okay,

00:10:24

wait, hold on.

00:10:24

Sorry.

00:10:25

I feel like you guys really do need to see this.

00:10:28

Hold on.

00:10:30

Me, Papa?

00:10:33

Yeah.

00:10:38

All right.

00:10:39

Sorry.

00:10:39

Waiting.

00:10:44

Yeah, it's as dumb as I said.

00:10:48

That frame looks like it's made of chocolate.

00:10:51

Delicious.

00:10:53

delicious me papa

00:10:58

it just looks like it's just drawn on the back of the frame like it's just the cardboard in the

00:11:03

frame

00:11:08

no wait hold on is it that little boy again no no this is perfect all right the picture on the

00:11:16

I found this on the newspaper as a picture of a newspaper.

00:11:20

Yeah.

00:11:22

Lockport legend,

00:11:23

we stand personal growth.

00:11:26

A moment of revelation,

00:11:27

the crew met up with Tawny and Dee Dee and returned back to the ship.

00:11:31

Although heavily ticketed, the ship was free from the current gaze of the Lockport Port Authority.

00:11:35

Squish felt an overwhelming amount of guilt on the three SUK bullies.

00:11:41

He decided to visit the Temple of the Downward Dog.

00:11:43

While bent over, he had a sudden epiphany and was filled with love for Lady Highhill,

00:11:47

Chuckles'

00:11:48

long-distance girlfriend.

00:11:50

Read between the lines.

00:11:51

Chuckles and Patches had a momentary heart-to-heart between the pages of a book.

00:11:55

Chuckles revealed his insecurities around his reading level,

00:11:58

and Patches expressed his desire for closeness with his co-captain.

00:12:02

They then raided Fitzclyde's closet.

00:12:04

Patches found a neat tri-cornered hat, but Chuckles pulled out a mystical many-cornered hat.

00:12:09

Imbued with a strange magic, he found that the hat would boost his charm to anyone he talked to while wearing it.

00:12:14

Now everyone has a hat.

00:12:16

He's going to need all that charm he can because the crew's on their way to meet up with Evelyn Neb,

00:12:21

T.A. at S.U.K.,

00:12:22

who promised to know more information on the mysterious cabal who wants Neelix.

00:12:27

Will they finally get some answers?

00:12:28

Will Chuckles and Squish come to blows over Lady High Hill?

00:12:33

Will they enjoy the Saganaki?

00:12:36

Tune in today.

00:12:36

What is your Saganaki?

00:12:38

What is that?

00:12:39

Octopus?

00:12:40

Leviathan?

00:12:41

That is a

00:12:43

chicken.

00:12:45

Yeah, it's a

00:12:47

chicken dish with cheese on it

00:12:49

and then they light it aflame and it smells

00:12:51

like horseshit.

00:12:53

Oh no.

00:12:54

We can't be around fire.

00:12:55

We're recovering.

00:12:57

I was just telling Bridget we need to get Hotman

00:12:59

back out. It's been a while. I feel like

00:13:01

we're actually

00:13:03

neglecting him now.

00:13:07

We really like our

00:13:09

cross-dresser butler really takes a lot right now.

00:13:14

He doesn't burn things.

00:13:16

I mean, we can still have Hotman without him burning the city down.

00:13:22

Thanks.

00:13:24

Hopefully.

00:13:26

Also, a couple things I forgot to mention.

00:13:28

One, this is episode 40,

00:13:30

so happy 40.

00:13:31

And two, this is definitely the hat trick season.

00:13:34

We all got hats.

00:13:35

We all got new hats.

00:13:37

Yeah, I do.

00:13:37

I don't want to dwell on it too long.

00:13:40

I do want to quickly mention the picture.

00:13:44

It's AI,

00:13:45

obviously,

00:13:45

and you feel like that the way you do.

00:13:48

But goddamn,

00:13:49

I gave it a very vague prompt, and that thing delivered.

00:13:54

And I'm most impressed,

00:13:57

one, that a red demon wearing a large,

00:14:00

Jamiro Koi style hat

00:14:03

got this.

00:14:04

And also,

00:14:05

he looks like a putt-putt hole.

00:14:10

And now, canonically,

00:14:12

Chuckles has a mustache.

00:14:16

Where'd this come from?

00:14:19

It's part of my new charm.

00:14:22

It came with the hat.

00:14:24

It was Canvas AI,

00:14:26

if that makes any feelings difference.

00:14:28

But I did it because I was like,

00:14:29

let's see what it does and i was like all right all right you got me all right

00:14:36

it did get the right number of corners too because it is a five corner hat

00:14:40

i do believe i asked for a five pointed hat like a mega dunce's hat hey

00:14:47

hey just because i can't read all right so you guys uh are walking together down the streets

00:14:54

of Lockport.

00:14:56

You have left the

00:14:59

ship behind

00:15:00

and you're making your way

00:15:02

onto your date with Evelyn.

00:15:04

Now,

00:15:05

she did say she was going to meet up

00:15:06

with you at Jorge's at a specific time.

00:15:08

You guys did not remember the time.

00:15:10

I did check my notes. It is

00:15:12

8 p.m.

00:15:13

You were supposed

00:15:14

to be there.

00:15:15

And what time did we

00:15:16

get there?

00:15:17

We kept saying.

00:15:19

It's 8.41.

00:15:21

Oh no!

00:15:24

Oh,

00:15:25

she's going to be pissed.

00:15:26

I hope this hat is charming.

00:15:29

And as you walk down the street,

00:15:32

you follow the directions.

00:15:33

You kind of are in the nice,

00:15:35

we won't say like the nicest part of town, but it's still very safe.

00:15:39

It's very much like a middle class sort of area where you're walking through.

00:15:43

So there's residential houses.

00:15:45

There's some shops.

00:15:47

There are restaurants and bars still open,

00:15:49

even though it's like eight o'clock.

00:15:51

Again,

00:15:51

Rockport's a big city. It doesn't really sleep in the sense that it doesn't stop.

00:15:55

But you guys are comfortable.

00:15:58

You feel a summer breeze.

00:16:00

You're about to get some answers that you've been looking for.

00:16:03

And as you approach the bar, you see it ahead of you.

00:16:05

It says Jorge's, quite large on the sign.

00:16:12

Very well dressed,

00:16:13

right?

00:16:15

Yeah, you guys did.

00:16:16

I imagine it's like we're walking down the street

00:16:21

the music.

00:16:21

You can tell by the way I'm

00:16:23

a woman's face.

00:16:25

Because we're all just really well

00:16:26

doing it. Yes.

00:16:28

And my mustache is

00:16:29

flapping in the breeze.

00:16:31

We all got new hats.

00:16:33

Squish has on his

00:16:35

tall green hat.

00:16:37

You have your interdimensional hat

00:16:39

of many points.

00:16:41

He has on a tricolor

00:16:43

hat that he stole from the

00:16:45

captain.

00:16:46

Oh,

00:16:46

that's

00:16:47

right. Yeah, we raided his closet.

00:16:48

So we're wearing date clothes.

00:16:50

Yeah,

00:16:51

so you're wearing date clothes.

00:16:53

And I'm wearing a huge

00:16:54

I'm wearing a huge tricorner hat.

00:16:56

Like it's almost comically

00:16:59

too big.

00:16:59

Yeah, it's like one of those

00:17:01

big cowboy hats.

00:17:02

Yeah,

00:17:02

exactly.

00:17:03

Except it's a tricorner hat.

00:17:04

And it's like very festive.

00:17:06

I think I sent a picture

00:17:07

of it with Tim Curry because that's

00:17:08

who I'm basing my character on now.

00:17:10

Yar!

00:17:13

That's true.

00:17:13

You did send a picture of a very

00:17:15

very large hat.

00:17:16

00:17:19

00:19:55

00:19:57

00:19:59

They don't wear uniforms,

00:20:00

but clearly her collegiate wear.

00:20:02

She's wearing something nicer now, kind of just a pretty nice dress.

00:20:06

Nothing super fancy because this is,

00:20:08

again,

00:20:08

kind of a townie bar.

00:20:09

But she does have a stack of books next to her.

00:20:11

And she's been reading through them and grading papers as she was waiting for you.

00:20:15

00:24:05

Takes a glance at the menu and orders a Denver omelet.

00:25:27

What is it,

00:25:27

Denny's?

00:25:29

They do breakfast all day.

00:25:31

It is a Jorge's.

00:25:33

Did you get it yet?

00:25:34

Yeah, I know.

00:25:35

I got it.

00:25:35

We went through it before,

00:25:36

but I guess I didn't realize they had breakfast all day.

00:25:40

Yeah,

00:25:40

I just had an omelet there last night.

00:25:43

You had a cheese omelet.

00:25:45

We did just eat there last night.

00:25:46

That was not fun.

00:25:47

Did you have cheese sticks,

00:25:48

too?

00:25:50

I had cheese sticks afterwards.

00:25:52

My fridge.

00:25:55

Now, you keep saying cheese sticks.

00:25:57

Do you really mean cheese?

00:25:59

You're getting cheese sticks,

00:26:00

but like,

00:26:01

did you mean like cheesy breadsticks?

00:26:03

No, I meant cheese sticks.

00:26:05

No, he meant like peeling cheese.

00:26:08

And for the record, I don't peel cheese sticks anymore.

00:26:11

I just go right for it.

00:26:13

I just dig right in.

00:26:14

You really go on.

00:26:17

Yeah,

00:26:17

after 12th grade, I decided

00:26:19

I started

00:26:23

Oh, I thought you wanted the fried ones

00:26:25

with marinara.

00:26:27

I did initially, but I changed my mind.

00:26:30

I've changed my mind.

00:26:32

I've changed

00:26:34

my mind.

00:26:37

Wait,

00:26:37

is there meatloaf on the menu?

00:26:41

I was joking.

00:26:44

I was kidding.

00:26:45

My story is the conclusion.

00:26:46

which is that it was the worst meatloaf your dad ever had oh yeah that part of the story never gets

00:26:53

told yeah that's hilarious did annie ever hear that story about my dad i think so yeah yeah we

00:26:59

00:27:03

00:27:11

00:27:16

It was terrible.

00:27:21

I remember that meatloaf.

00:27:23

It was bad.

00:27:23

It was terrible.

00:27:27

It's awful.

00:27:31

Anyway,

00:27:31

continue.

00:27:32

Sorry,

00:27:33

00:27:33

So as she walks away, she looks at the group of you and she goes,

00:27:36

00:27:40

Well,

00:27:41

oh,

00:27:41

yeah.

00:27:41

I guess we're here.

00:27:42

Yeah,

00:27:43

no.

00:27:43

Thank you for meeting us under such romantic circumstances.

00:27:48

Very romantic.

00:27:49

Very, very romantic.

00:27:51

But I've heard, you know,

00:27:53

you have interests that may be important for us to know about.

00:27:59

You're a student of cults,

00:28:03

flower-smelling cults.

00:28:07

No, I'm a student in demonic studies.

00:28:10

Oh, that's right.

00:28:12

I work with Wester Vale, and I know you guys were asking about that book, about Neelix,

00:28:18

right?

00:28:19

Oh, that's right, which was not stolen.

00:28:21

We borrowed it fair and square.

00:28:23

Same with Neelix.

00:28:25

Neelix.

00:28:26

Oh, you know Neelix.

00:28:29

Well, I remember when he came back with Vale,

00:28:33

Professor Vale,

00:28:34

when he came back with that book, he was so excited.

00:28:37

He was just like all a Twitter,

00:28:39

no word pun intended.

00:28:41

And he just was so excited about this book.

00:28:44

And he was talking about this old flame he used to have who owned Neelix.

00:28:48

And, you know, it just went on and on and on.

00:28:50

Well, you know how he can be.

00:28:51

He can kind of be a little chatty guy, a real chatty guy.

00:28:56

Chatty.

00:28:57

Anyway,

00:28:59

later,

00:29:00

he said that he had gotten broken into,

00:29:02

right?

00:29:02

That his office had been broken into and that someone had stolen those pages.

00:29:07

He took the pages.

00:29:11

Of the book.

00:29:12

Of the book.

00:29:13

That we borrowed.

00:29:15

That never stole.

00:29:16

Would not ever do that, especially in front of a woman.

00:29:21

Never steal anything.

00:29:23

Flashback.

00:29:27

Flashback.

00:29:27

Uncle Skyluck is ripping a dead bird out of your hands and says,

00:29:32

Stop stealing my dead birds.

00:29:36

That's for company.

00:29:38

That's a

00:29:39

bird's company.

00:29:42

Oh,

00:29:43

you know.

00:29:45

Probably still in jail.

00:29:47

I think he's dead.

00:29:49

He's not dead.

00:29:51

You don't know that.

00:29:52

I love him.

00:29:54

Like an uncle.

00:29:56

Which means he'll never die.

00:29:58

Yes, I have plot armor.

00:30:00

And that's why you did the conjugal

00:30:02

visit with him?

00:30:04

He agreed never to talk about that again.

00:30:07

Yes,

00:30:07

that's a sore subject for me.

00:30:11

Very sore.

00:30:12

Hey.

00:30:21

I do imagine we are actually having this in character.

00:30:25

Yeah, she's just staring like a gaze.

00:30:28

I bet you she knows what conjugal means.

00:30:32

Yeah, because she's got glasses.

00:30:34

Of course she knows what it means.

00:30:35

I can't read.

00:30:38

And I'd appreciate it if you quit drawing attention to it all the time.

00:30:48

So, yeah,

00:30:50

these pages were stolen.

00:30:51

That's why they were ripped out of our borrowed book.

00:30:56

Yeah, we all know that he had a blistering hot summer with our former captain,

00:31:04

who's rest, rest,

00:31:05

and may he in peace.

00:31:09

But what do we know?

00:31:10

What do we know about his enemies

00:31:13

that would take something like this out of a book?

00:31:18

Well, I saw the guy who stole it.

00:31:20

That's right.

00:31:21

I remember that.

00:31:23

Because I was listening to you.

00:31:24

And who was it?

00:31:25

Do you have any descriptions of him?

00:31:28

That's right.

00:31:30

He works.

00:31:33

What I was trying to get to is he,

00:31:35

I saw someone,

00:31:36

I'm assuming the person break into Dr. Vail's office.

00:31:40

I saw them like pick the lock and bust the door down.

00:31:44

And then like 10 minutes later with the pages,

00:31:49

I don't know why anyone else would go into his office.

00:31:51

Most people don't like Wester Vail.

00:31:52

I mean, he kind of,

00:31:54

he's got a type.

00:31:56

Box,

00:31:56

right?

00:31:58

Yeah.

00:31:58

Yeah.

00:31:59

Yeah.

00:32:01

So you hate your boss, huh?

00:32:03

We have a lot in common.

00:32:04

I mean,

00:32:06

he's just kind of a weird dude.

00:32:11

He just goes off on these really long tangents about things I partially only understand.

00:32:18

And he claims to be an expert in ghosts and demons,

00:32:24

but the guy's checking out books from the library instead of writing them,

00:32:27

which he should be doing.

00:32:28

He's a professor.

00:32:29

How did he get tenure at this university?

00:32:36

Sounds like he's a really jerk-ass dude.

00:32:39

You want us to kill him?

00:32:39

He's kind of a bird brain.

00:32:41

He's a bird brain.

00:32:41

No.

00:32:43

I mean, he's nice.

00:32:43

Untotally intended.

00:32:46

Pun intended there.

00:32:47

He's totally nice.

00:32:48

He's just kind of a weirdo.

00:32:49

And,

00:32:50

you know, he's really nice to me.

00:32:51

But, like, look at these papers.

00:32:53

I have to grade all of these.

00:32:54

I don't think he's looked at a single one of them.

00:32:56

He doesn't remember half the students he's ever had.

00:32:59

He remembered Captain Fitzglyde.

00:33:04

I'm assuming they were a little bit close.

00:33:07

I'm sure they were more conjugal than his average student.

00:33:10

I don't remember any schooling I ever had.

00:33:14

Junkles knows that word.

00:33:16

What?

00:33:18

Conjugal.

00:33:20

No,

00:33:20

I don't.

00:33:21

That's what's got us in the semester.

00:33:22

Anyway.

00:33:24

Sorry.

00:33:25

It's a professor.

00:33:27

It's a botany professor.

00:33:28

S-U-K. His name is Tam Mazaran.

00:33:30

Oh, so you know who it is.

00:33:32

He stole the haters?

00:33:34

Why didn't you confront him?

00:33:37

Because he's a professor with tenure

00:33:39

and I would like to eventually be a professor.

00:33:42

I can't just go around accusing staff members

00:33:44

of breaking into other staff members'

00:33:46

rooms.

00:33:46

And when I told Westervale of it,

00:33:49

he, like, forgot in two minutes.

00:33:53

Why didn't you tell us it's at the school?

00:33:56

Are we going to go back to the school?

00:33:58

And buy you dinner?

00:34:04

I don't know what he's up to.

00:34:07

But,

00:34:07

I mean, if you guys saw Tam Mazarin, you'd know he's a weird dude.

00:34:12

There's, like, all sorts of people.

00:34:15

I don't know.

00:34:16

He's into shit, okay,

00:34:17

man?

00:34:17

Like, everybody in this stupid town is in some kind of cult one way or the other.

00:34:23

And they're really into it,

00:34:24

man.

00:34:25

That's what makes it different than a church,

00:34:26

right?

00:34:26

because they're really into it and he's part of something and he's weird and i didn't want anything

00:34:31

of it and when i told westervale he's like well i don't know why anyone would deface a book and then

00:34:37

he just he just spot off he just like just kind of just wrote me off and so now i'm stuck writing

00:34:46

his you know reading and grading his papers basically teaching his whole stupid class

00:34:51

intro to demons.

00:34:55

Well, I could help you grade papers.

00:34:56

It's like a class of like 200...

00:34:59

You'd help me grade papers?

00:35:00

Oh, absolutely.

00:35:03

She doesn't know anything about demons.

00:35:05

She doesn't know that.

00:35:07

I could help you grade papers.

00:35:08

She doesn't know.

00:35:10

Just give me a red pen.

00:35:13

I'll take the rest.

00:35:15

She pulls out a red pen

00:35:18

from her book bag

00:35:19

and basically takes this very large stack of papers

00:35:24

and splits them into four.

00:35:27

She keeps a stack.

00:35:28

She gives a stack to you.

00:35:29

Oh,

00:35:30

teamwork.

00:35:31

Chuckles,

00:35:31

and she gives a stack to Patches,

00:35:35

and she holds one out to squish,

00:35:37

although you did not offer.

00:35:41

Yeah, no, we'll get this done in no time.

00:35:44

I grab it and I hand it to Juckles.

00:35:46

Oh, yeah, no, I'll take yours too.

00:35:50

Okay good

00:35:51

You know what do you have a marker

00:35:54

She pulls out another marker

00:35:56

Just for you

00:35:58

Yeah we can take care of this

00:36:00

No problem

00:36:02

No problem

00:36:03

I'll bet you I'll get it done before the night's done

00:36:07

Shit

00:36:07

Can you tell us where this Tam Anderen

00:36:10

Wait what's his name

00:36:11

Pam Anderen

00:36:14

Pam Anderson

00:36:17

Tam Mazaram

00:36:19

Pam Anderson.

00:36:22

Yeah,

00:36:23

where's his office at?

00:36:26

He's in the botany

00:36:28

hall right across from

00:36:29

the demonic studies hall.

00:36:34

Oh, okay.

00:36:34

That's where Westervale's office is.

00:36:36

It's on the other side of that courtyard.

00:36:40

And he's a botany professor.

00:36:43

He has a key or something

00:36:45

so he can get in there at nighttime.

00:36:49

He has a key to his office,

00:36:51

but I don't have access to it.

00:36:54

No, but it's like the front gate or something.

00:36:57

Oh, I mean, I have that.

00:36:58

I can get you to the front gate.

00:36:59

Yeah,

00:36:59

that's it.

00:37:01

Yeah, we'll take care of the door to his office.

00:37:05

One more thing.

00:37:08

We are going to break into this place.

00:37:11

What is botany?

00:37:15

It's a study of plants.

00:37:17

Not the study of buttons.

00:37:19

That's buttony.

00:37:20

Oh,

00:37:21

okay.

00:37:23

Plants.

00:37:24

That was a really good one.

00:37:27

Thanks for letting me know.

00:37:32

Before she says another thing,

00:37:35

the waitress comes back and she's got

00:37:38

both arms

00:37:39

just full of the food.

00:37:40

Because you have ordered, as you remember,

00:37:43

two milk steaks

00:37:44

with a side of jelly beans,

00:37:46

Terragon,

00:37:46

uh,

00:37:47

Saganaki with extra tarragon.

00:37:48

Cheese sticks for everyone.

00:37:50

A set of congratulation bread and a Denver omelet.

00:37:54

All right.

00:37:55

So she comes in covering all of these trays and it is,

00:37:59

you know,

00:37:59

like the,

00:38:00

the Saganaki

00:38:01

with extra tarragon is actually just a plate of tarragon.

00:38:05

Uh,

00:38:05

so like a plate of extra herbs that they've handed to you.

00:38:08

Uh, you have your milk steaks, which are steaks dripping in milk.

00:38:13

a whole

00:38:16

plate of jelly beans.

00:38:18

They just took a grilled steak

00:38:19

and poured milk over it.

00:38:21

This looks great.

00:38:24

Two of them.

00:38:25

Thank you.

00:38:25

She has a basket of the congratulations bread,

00:38:29

which does look like a little bit nicer

00:38:31

than regular bread, but

00:38:33

still just kind of free bread.

00:38:35

Cheese sticks, five rounds of cheese sticks

00:38:37

and a Denver omelet.

00:38:39

Who got the omelet?

00:38:40

And she puts it all out on the plate, and she, like, moves some of the papers out of the way, you know, and puts it on there.

00:38:47

And she's like, oh,

00:38:48

wait, one more final thing.

00:38:50

And she turns around,

00:38:51

and she has what looks like one of your ghost bottles.

00:38:56

Not yours,

00:38:56

but a ghost bottle.

00:38:58

And she goes, all right, here we go.

00:39:01

And she shakes it.

00:39:02

And you guys recognize that this is a demon that's been trapped within the bottle.

00:39:08

And it just spits out a perfect little fireball.

00:39:12

And the saginaque goes aflame.

00:39:14

And everybody in the restaurant,

00:39:16

of course, looks at you and it's like, you know,

00:39:19

cheering.

00:39:19

And,

00:39:20

you know,

00:39:20

they they they're all very excited.

00:39:22

It's like when fajitas come out and they're sizzling and everyone's like, ooh,

00:39:25

the fajitas.

00:39:28

And she puts it on there and then, you know, it dies out and she goes, do you guys need anything else?

00:39:33

I start eating it before the fire dies out.

00:39:36

Oh,

00:39:37

OK.

00:39:37

Wow, he's really just going to town on that flaming cheese.

00:39:41

And I start eating the milk steak.

00:39:43

Well, first I have a taste of the milk.

00:39:46

It's fresh.

00:39:47

And then I eat the milk steak.

00:39:50

How do you?

00:39:51

I stick the cheese stick in my mouth with a cigar.

00:39:54

I have follow-up questions about that.

00:39:56

That's funny.

00:39:56

How dare you?

00:39:58

Do we have cheese steaks?

00:40:00

You want an actual prop?

00:40:03

It's like that scene in the Blues Brothers

00:40:06

where they're eating at a fancy restaurant

00:40:07

and they're just complete ingrates.

00:40:12

Do you pick the milk steak up

00:40:15

and drink it from the bowl

00:40:16

or do you bring your head down

00:40:17

and drink it like a cat?

00:40:19

Like a kitty.

00:40:20

No, I stick my thumb.

00:40:21

I push my thumb at the top of the steak

00:40:24

and push it down to see

00:40:26

the consistency of the steak.

00:40:28

And then I pull up the thumb

00:40:30

with a little bit of milk on it

00:40:31

and I just take a taste.

00:40:35

That's fresh.

00:40:39

Compliments to the chef.

00:40:43

Well, I'm sure she'll be very

00:40:47

glad to hear it.

00:40:48

Wait,

00:40:48

she?

00:40:51

Yes,

00:40:52

yes.

00:40:52

Women can be chefs.

00:40:53

Weird.

00:40:55

Andy, is this true?

00:40:56

I thought this was the past.

00:40:57

I've never seen one.

00:40:59

Wait, Andy or Squish?

00:41:02

Andy.

00:41:04

I've never seen one.

00:41:09

I meant that as squish.

00:41:12

All right.

00:41:12

But I heard that as Andy.

00:41:16

Yeah, I start chowing down.

00:41:21

Yeah, so you really enjoy it.

00:41:24

You start chowing in on your meals.

00:41:26

Everyone just roll a single die just to see how good your meals are.

00:41:32

And if anyone gets a six, I'll give you a point.

00:41:35

of XP.

00:41:40

Nope, I did the exact same thing.

00:41:42

Oh,

00:41:42

shit.

00:41:43

This really hit the spot,

00:41:45

these two milk steaks.

00:41:47

So fresh.

00:41:51

That was okay.

00:41:54

I ate one

00:41:56

and keep the other one in my mouth like a cigar

00:41:57

and throw the rest in my pocket.

00:41:59

Did you eat any of them?

00:42:01

I ripped off half of the

00:42:02

half of the congratulations bread and spread the

00:42:05

agonaki cheese on it and eat it.

00:42:06

Nice.

00:42:07

That's great deep behavior.

00:42:11

This was a damn good milk steak.

00:42:13

It is just,

00:42:14

you know,

00:42:15

as somebody who is very malnourished as a kid,

00:42:17

you do appreciate a good cup of milk

00:42:19

and now you got milk and the meat

00:42:21

with it.

00:42:21

It's really the whole cow.

00:42:24

The whole cow

00:42:25

and chicken.

00:42:26

Exactly. You got the whole thing.

00:42:29

Where do you think milk comes from?

00:42:34

Does Chuckles know where milk comes from?

00:42:37

Good question.

00:42:40

Comes from a bottle.

00:42:41

It says something on it.

00:42:42

It could be milk.

00:42:44

What the hell is milk?

00:42:46

Not with vitamin R.

00:42:46

Not with vitamin R.

00:42:49

Sorry, that's milk.

00:42:49

We only got milk in Lockport.

00:42:52

And then Patches, yours is okay.

00:42:54

It's pretty standard.

00:42:55

But Squish, this is the worst Saganaki.

00:42:59

If you've ever had it before,

00:43:01

you know that this is horseshit.

00:43:02

Bad Saganaki is bad.

00:43:05

And you do,

00:43:05

you are, you had your own restaurant that you ran.

00:43:09

So you know this is terrible.

00:43:11

And in a huff,

00:43:12

you stand up to go approach the chef.

00:43:15

Who's a woman.

00:43:16

In the back.

00:43:18

Who is a woman.

00:43:20

Pretty sexy though,

00:43:22

right?

00:43:23

You march back there.

00:43:24

You throw the doors aside, ready to yell.

00:43:28

And what you see is Chef Roselle from old...

00:43:33

The Gilded Plum?

00:43:35

The Gilded Plum.

00:43:38

Oh, boy.

00:43:39

And she is just cussing her staff out.

00:43:46

I cannot believe you will do this to me.

00:43:48

Look at this.

00:43:48

Look.

00:43:49

And she's like doing one of these on the food.

00:43:51

She's like, this is absolutely pitiful.

00:43:54

What kind of horse shit do you want me to send out there?

00:43:57

He says it's terrible.

00:43:59

And then she gasped.

00:44:01

Squish?

00:44:03

Is that you?

00:44:06

Yeah, it's squish.

00:44:08

That was terrible.

00:44:10

She runs back and just unprompted.

00:44:13

This is not a woman who is very emotional.

00:44:15

Gives you just the largest hug that,

00:44:17

you know,

00:44:18

she possibly could give you.

00:44:20

I tap her very gently on the back twice.

00:44:25

I cannot believe

00:44:27

what a terrible

00:44:28

what wonderful news this is

00:44:30

when you left Duskfall in a hurry

00:44:32

everyone said that you

00:44:34

did something horrible but I knew

00:44:36

that wasn't true

00:44:37

I'm so glad to see you

00:44:41

sorry give me one second

00:44:44

oh boy

00:44:48

go get a cheese stick

00:44:51

it really got her going

00:44:52

she's going to get milk

00:44:53

I was just turning on the...

00:44:56

Which I actually do have.

00:44:57

No, I have two sticks, too.

00:44:58

Anyway, I was turning the fan on because I can hear myself on Brandon's camera.

00:45:05

Oh!

00:45:07

That's going through my ears.

00:45:10

I'm hearing some echo,

00:45:11

so...

00:45:13

It's not me, then.

00:45:14

Oh, well, it doesn't matter.

00:45:16

She's very happy to see you.

00:45:18

She's very happy to see you,

00:45:20

Squish.

00:45:21

And she starts just rambling in,

00:45:25

you know, her whatever native tongue was.

00:45:28

And she's like, I just,

00:45:30

I had to shut down the golden plume.

00:45:32

I lost my best chef.

00:45:34

And so I come to Lockport.

00:45:36

I think I take in a little bit of sun.

00:45:38

I take in the culture.

00:45:39

And it turns out these people have the worst taste buds I have ever seen.

00:45:45

Yeah,

00:45:46

if that's what passes in Saganaki.

00:45:49

I know.

00:45:50

And you just gave me a whole plate of tarragon?

00:45:54

Who did this?

00:45:55

Who did this plate?

00:45:57

And some poor young intern comes up, and she just takes,

00:46:02

which I'm assuming you brought with you, the plate of Saganaki,

00:46:04

and just chucks it right at the wall.

00:46:07

It shatters.

00:46:09

There's cheese everywhere.

00:46:10

And she goes, you hear an extra tarragon,

00:46:13

and you give him a plate of tarragon?

00:46:15

Do you know how expensive?

00:46:17

A whole plate.

00:46:18

Do you know how expensive this is?

00:46:21

I do.

00:46:24

But I'm so sorry.

00:46:25

That's crazy.

00:46:27

What have you been up to?

00:46:30

Where have you been?

00:46:30

I'm killing some things.

00:46:32

I went to my homeland.

00:46:38

I fought a cult.

00:46:39

Not one year, but a different cult.

00:46:42

I'm co-captain of a ship now.

00:46:47

So that's pretty cool.

00:46:48

and doing a lot with rutabagas.

00:46:54

A lot of rutabaga cooking.

00:47:00

I got an ape now.

00:47:04

I think it's a chimp.

00:47:04

You've got an ape.

00:47:09

You've got an ape now.

00:47:11

Yeah.

00:47:13

Her name's Dee Dee.

00:47:14

She smokes cigarettes.

00:47:16

Pretty cool.

00:47:17

She sounds like a wonderful woman.

00:47:22

She's a good,

00:47:23

a good, good ape.

00:47:26

So,

00:47:27

how the hell

00:47:27

did you end up here?

00:47:29

In this shithole?

00:47:31

Listen,

00:47:31

after all that happened

00:47:33

in Duskavol, after

00:47:35

Baz's death,

00:47:36

the city went

00:47:37

fucking nuts,

00:47:38

and I thought,

00:47:39

Oh yeah,

00:47:39

I forgot we killed Baz.

00:47:41

We?

00:47:42

You killed Baz?

00:47:45

No, we did.

00:47:47

Oh,

00:47:47

not we did.

00:47:49

Only one of us shot a rifle that blew his head clean off.

00:47:53

There were not three fingers on that trigger.

00:47:56

That's a pure example of the dice rolls,

00:47:59

not agreeing with anybody.

00:48:02

That was me.

00:48:03

Hey,

00:48:04

you know that whole thing you got planned?

00:48:05

I'm just going to blast him in the face and get a critical.

00:48:08

Okay.

00:48:14

Well,

00:48:14

I can't believe you killed Baz.

00:48:17

Were you working for him?

00:48:21

We were contracted by him, yeah.

00:48:24

Because that's what I heard.

00:48:25

And then when Baz died, I thought, well,

00:48:27

clearly whoever killed Baz has it out for these guys.

00:48:30

And so you went on the run.

00:48:31

And then I had to shut down the restaurant because I lost my best chef.

00:48:35

And,

00:48:35

well,

00:48:36

then I decided I'll go,

00:48:38

you know,

00:48:39

go to Lockport.

00:48:40

Why not?

00:48:40

It's right across the sea.

00:48:41

It's a short ride.

00:48:42

If I don't like it, I'll go back.

00:48:43

And that was like, feels like three years ago.

00:48:47

What cult are you in?

00:48:50

I have not yet joined the cult.

00:48:52

I am cultivating a few.

00:48:54

I have not yet joined the cult.

00:48:57

The Downward Dog is pretty cool.

00:49:00

I have heard of the Downward Dog.

00:49:04

Yeah, that was a pretty cool one.

00:49:06

But, hey, get your shit in shape over here.

00:49:10

I'm going to come back.

00:49:12

And if it's not good,

00:49:13

I am going to start yelling.

00:49:16

But,

00:49:17

I mean,

00:49:17

do you need a job?

00:49:22

Not right now.

00:49:25

Actually, let me check.

00:49:27

Hey, guys,

00:49:28

you've got offered a job?

00:49:31

Should I take it, or what are we doing?

00:49:32

So you'd stay here forever?

00:49:34

Yes.

00:49:37

You pay off our tarot?

00:49:38

Oh, yeah.

00:49:39

That reminds me.

00:49:40

I don't know how we're going to pay for this tab.

00:49:44

Oh, yeah.

00:49:46

Milksteak's very expensive

00:49:47

this time of year.

00:49:48

It's like strawberries.

00:49:50

Rose, I'll take care of our dinner for us.

00:49:54

And I'll give you a new recipe.

00:49:58

That's a pretty damn good offer.

00:49:59

But who's going to cook it?

00:50:01

With root of a...

00:50:02

You obviously don't have anyone here who can cook worth a damn

00:50:05

except milksteak.

00:50:06

This milksteak was fucking delicious,

00:50:07

by the way.

00:50:08

Why am I back here now?

00:50:13

you just you just you've held down the walkie-talkie button so you know you just you're just talking

00:50:20

uh roll your sway

00:50:29

way away oh my god

00:50:34

that's so bad you've always always been a good friend to me and i i would love love to have you

00:50:41

you know bring you aboard and have you work but it would have to be from the ground up and

00:50:45

there's absolutely no way i can cover your tab i mean is this right you ordered

00:50:50

a side of jelly beans do you know how hard it is to find jelly beans here no no well it was hard

00:50:58

We had to send some guy out to go get it.

00:51:00

He, no,

00:51:01

I will try to talk to the owner, but I cannot get your bill paid.

00:51:06

But if you want a job,

00:51:07

you know,

00:51:07

we could have you start again from the bottom,

00:51:09

peeling rutabagas.

00:51:12

What?

00:51:14

All right, if I work for you tonight,

00:51:16

will it clear my tab?

00:51:19

No,

00:51:19

I don't need you tonight.

00:51:21

This is a mild crowd for us.

00:51:24

Wait until Fish Friday.

00:51:25

And you're still doing terrible.

00:51:28

Get out of my kitchen.

00:51:31

She's pissed.

00:51:34

I fart and walk out.

00:51:35

Got her.

00:51:38

The characters just cross over.

00:51:41

Health code violation.

00:51:45

You leave.

00:51:47

Meanwhile,

00:51:48

it has been

00:51:50

Chuckles and Patches sitting at the table.

00:51:52

And you guys are like

00:51:55

between,

00:51:57

you know,

00:51:57

grading the papers and reading them.

00:51:59

So,

00:52:00

Patches,

00:52:00

are you...

00:52:01

Well, let's start actually with Truffles.

00:52:02

Truffles, I'm assuming you're reading skills,

00:52:05

probably not up to reading many,

00:52:08

many papers.

00:52:08

Absolutely not.

00:52:09

I'm just giving everyone 100.

00:52:12

Okay, so you're just writing down 100 on it.

00:52:14

Yeah, I'm like Robin Hood.

00:52:18

I'm stealing from the rich

00:52:23

and given to the dumb.

00:52:27

I'm stealing from the smart and given to the dumb.

00:52:33

And Patches, what are you doing?

00:52:35

I'm earnestly critiquing these people.

00:52:37

Oh, I'm skimming them,

00:52:39

and I'm not giving them.

00:52:40

I'm giving the middling grades.

00:52:41

Just roasting everyone.

00:52:43

Just writing vile insults.

00:52:46

You're like this signing towel of paper graders.

00:52:51

Like on the back,

00:52:52

on the front one,

00:52:52

C+, trite and pedantic.

00:52:54

And next one,

00:52:55

C-, you know,

00:52:57

a little over thought.

00:52:59

The next one,

00:52:59

a little under thought.

00:53:00

You know,

00:53:01

next one, a little under thought.

00:53:02

Are you actually reading them?

00:53:05

Oh, I mean, I'm skimming them.

00:53:07

I can speed read.

00:53:08

Oh.

00:53:08

But what they don't tell you about speed reading is that when you speed read,

00:53:11

you lose about 90% of comprehension.

00:53:13

Oh, then I'm a good speed reader.

00:53:15

90%?

00:53:16

What?

00:53:17

Then I can speed read.

00:53:18

90% of comprehension?

00:53:20

Maybe 50.

00:53:21

You can read it really fast.

00:53:23

You're only going to know 10% of what you read.

00:53:25

I could just read 10% and get the same outcome.

00:53:29

Yeah.

00:53:30

All right.

00:53:31

I mean,

00:53:31

this is not a character,

00:53:32

right?

00:53:32

I'm not talking out loud.

00:53:33

I speed read then,

00:53:36

except not very fast.

00:53:38

That's an actual fact.

00:53:38

It wasn't 90%, but it's 50%.

00:53:41

That's an actual fact.

00:53:42

The world's fastest speed reader loses about 50% comprehension.

00:53:48

How can anyone know that?

00:53:51

the speed raider told them

00:53:55

yeah I got about half

00:53:58

I only got about half

00:54:00

why would you admit to that

00:54:05

because they can't know it's 90%

00:54:07

so he said so

00:54:18

well so

00:54:19

to quickly look at this number here.

00:54:29

I'll go ahead and throw your study.

00:54:31

Who?

00:54:32

All of us?

00:54:32

You.

00:54:33

You, Patches.

00:54:41

Good thing I don't have to throw my study.

00:54:49

So while you're, you know, reading through these papers,

00:54:54

you notice that Evelyn kind of keeps glancing at you.

00:54:57

She kind of keeps, like, as she's, like, reading her paper,

00:55:00

she kind of, like,

00:55:01

you know,

00:55:02

just keeps looking at you.

00:55:06

You assume that it's her flirting with you, though.

00:55:09

Oh, I'm flirting right back.

00:55:10

I'm, like, grading papers.

00:55:12

Like, it's like.

00:55:15

Right.

00:55:17

And then I put down, like,

00:55:19

very,

00:55:20

very undercooked.

00:55:24

I started describing all the papers as, like,

00:55:27

bad food.

00:55:28

I found this one a little spicy for my tastes.

00:55:31

Thank you.

00:55:31

It's quite dry.

00:55:33

Quite dry.

00:55:35

You're hungry while you're,

00:55:36

uh...

00:55:38

Well, I only ate one cheese stick.

00:55:39

Oh, that's right.

00:55:40

You're saving the rest.

00:55:41

Put the rest in my pocket.

00:55:41

That's the best place to keep them.

00:55:42

Even though you ordered a round of five for everybody.

00:55:48

Well, yeah.

00:55:49

Or four, I guess.

00:55:50

There's four of you.

00:55:51

A man grows.

00:55:52

And she goes, do you remember me at all?

00:56:03

Ellen?

00:56:06

My name's Evelyn.

00:56:07

I have told you that.

00:56:08

Oh,

00:56:08

no,

00:56:09

no,

00:56:09

no, no, no.

00:56:10

Um,

00:56:11

no.

00:56:14

So,

00:56:17

little thing.

00:56:18

I have a slight condition.

00:56:20

It's called amnesia.

00:56:23

Got hit in the head falling off a boat when I was viciously mutineated upon.

00:56:29

I got my revenge, though,

00:56:30

and me and my mutineers are co-captains now.

00:56:33

But,

00:56:35

no,

00:56:35

no.

00:56:36

Was it a good first impression?

00:56:41

or are you maybe mistaking me for somebody else?

00:56:44

Because,

00:56:46

you know, I don't remember.

00:56:49

You took Western Vale's class like six years ago.

00:56:53

What?

00:56:55

I did not.

00:56:57

No.

00:56:57

Like I was my first year as a TA.

00:57:00

No,

00:57:01

no,

00:57:01

no.

00:57:02

I didn't go to the Society of Universal Knowledge.

00:57:05

I went to the Fraternity of Universal Knowledge.

00:57:08

That's a different acronym.

00:57:09

Oh, fuck.

00:57:12

oh that's fuck

00:57:16

no i mean i remember you you like well like you didn't really come to class i mean when you showed

00:57:22

up you like slept through everything you don't remember anything from that time at all i was so

00:57:28

good at class that i just slept through it you know i got all b's you know they called me ace

00:57:33

because I got all B's.

00:57:36

You kept saying that things were

00:57:39

spicy or salty

00:57:40

or too sweet.

00:57:45

A little saccharine.

00:57:48

I mean...

00:57:54

You know, I don't remember much.

00:57:57

I don't...

00:57:58

Yeah,

00:57:59

sorry.

00:58:00

The amnesia again and the sleeping.

00:58:03

probably as well.

00:58:05

Don't forget the drinking.

00:58:06

And the drinking.

00:58:07

Oh, fuck.

00:58:09

I did forget about that.

00:58:11

I drink a lot and I pull out

00:58:13

a bottle out of my

00:58:15

huge pocket leg.

00:58:17

You drink so much

00:58:19

you've forgotten about the drinking.

00:58:22

That's how

00:58:23

bad it is.

00:58:24

It's a good sign.

00:58:25

That's how you know it's bad when you don't

00:58:27

admit you have a problem.

00:58:29

I mean,

00:58:31

After you disappeared.

00:58:33

I mean, I didn't really...

00:58:34

I don't keep up with a lot of the students.

00:58:36

I just remembered you and your strange coat.

00:58:40

It was red.

00:58:42

Now it's gray.

00:58:43

It still has it on.

00:58:45

It's reversible.

00:58:46

It's on the underside.

00:58:47

Yeah.

00:58:49

Right?

00:58:50

Was it red back then?

00:58:51

I think so.

00:58:53

Why not?

00:58:53

Yeah.

00:58:54

Yeah.

00:58:55

I mean, I guess.

00:58:57

I thought you got the red frock.

00:58:59

You beat up the captain.

00:59:00

It's not like the green one he's got on right now.

00:59:03

Yeah, I don't remember.

00:59:07

Yeah, it's green.

00:59:09

I had a frock coat. I don't remember what color it was.

00:59:11

I go through a lot of colors.

00:59:15

Maybe back then it was green.

00:59:16

Maybe it was blue.

00:59:17

I don't remember.

00:59:18

It doesn't matter.

00:59:19

I'm trying to get my

00:59:24

whatever going on here.

00:59:25

I don't remember nothing.

00:59:29

Can we hand the key to the front gate?

00:59:32

No, I've got to finish grading all these papers.

00:59:34

Oh, I'm done.

00:59:37

You're done?

00:59:38

No, I finished that like 10 minutes ago.

00:59:42

Well,

00:59:43

here, let me see.

00:59:44

You've got some bright students.

00:59:47

I found them a little, you know,

00:59:50

a little soggy and just...

00:59:55

Moist.

00:59:57

A little soggy and moist, in my opinion.

00:59:59

a little gritty.

01:00:07

I mean, great.

01:00:09

I mean, I really appreciate it.

01:00:12

It really saves me a lot of time.

01:00:14

No,

01:00:14

no, thank you.

01:00:16

You're welcome.

01:00:20

Now, I can get you into the front gate,

01:00:22

but that's as far as I can take you guys.

01:00:24

I can't be seen breaking into a professor's office.

01:00:28

us.

01:00:29

That's fine. We got it.

01:00:31

Would you like to hold hands

01:00:32

as we walk to the gate?

01:00:38

No.

01:00:41

No,

01:00:41

thank you.

01:00:44

I thought I had it for

01:00:46

sure.

01:00:47

I thought I had it in the bag.

01:00:50

Now,

01:00:51

since you remember me,

01:00:54

what about with one of us?

01:00:57

You seem to remember me.

01:00:59

I must have been pretty cute back then.

01:01:01

I do feel like you should hold one of our hands.

01:01:04

Yeah, it's kind of...

01:01:05

We're going to keep arguing about this.

01:01:08

We bought milk steak

01:01:09

and cheese sticks.

01:01:11

Well, we didn't buy it.

01:01:13

All right.

01:01:14

Chuckles, if you want to...

01:01:16

If you want to roll your sway

01:01:18

with your bonus from your hat,

01:01:19

you can go ahead and roll sway.

01:01:21

And if you do well, she'll hold your hand.

01:01:23

Me?

01:01:26

Yeah,

01:01:26

Chuckles.

01:01:27

Oh, boy.

01:01:29

Did you look at my character sheet and see how I have zero in Sway?

01:01:33

And then said, yeah, fuck it.

01:01:34

You can do it if you want.

01:01:37

Well, I gave you a bonus for your hat.

01:01:38

I said I'd give you a bonus for your hat last session.

01:01:42

One bonus.

01:01:43

You got to use it.

01:01:47

Oh.

01:01:48

One boner.

01:01:54

She doesn't slap me in my face.

01:01:59

you can hold hands uh she puts her hand out and and you go to hold it uh treples

01:02:06

and you know how some people just have like bad hands uh some people have really really sweaty

01:02:13

hands like their their palms are sweaty some people have like like rough dry skin she's the

01:02:19

latter um you you go to hold her hand and you get an instant it's kind of like holding a dry sponge

01:02:26

I recoil immediately

01:02:28

and I say, oh.

01:02:30

Maybe you can hold

01:02:33

Squish's hand.

01:02:36

Or Captain's.

01:02:36

Or that guy.

01:02:40

The great Captain.

01:02:46

I mean,

01:02:47

alright.

01:02:48

She gathers up the papers

01:02:49

and she goes,

01:02:51

I'll meet outside with you guys

01:02:53

in just a second,

01:02:54

okay?

01:02:54

we'll,

01:02:54

we'll,

01:02:56

I'll tell him,

01:02:56

we take care of the bell and we'll go to.

01:02:59

Oh,

01:02:59

nice.

01:02:59

We'll go to the university dates more often.

01:03:02

Great.

01:03:04

Don't worry about tip.

01:03:06

That result says she's got the tip.

01:03:08

Does she?

01:03:09

I thought she yelled at you to get out of the kitchen.

01:03:12

She's not going to cover any of it.

01:03:16

You guys,

01:03:17

you guys leave and go stand outside of,

01:03:19

of Jorge's and you have a minute before,

01:03:22

before Evelyn comes back.

01:03:25

I think this is going very well

01:03:28

Although I do not remember

01:03:29

Going to school

01:03:32

College am I right

01:03:33

Yeah if you remember it you weren't there

01:03:36

Exactly

01:03:37

There's a time and place for everything

01:03:38

I say I get her on Friday and Saturdays

01:03:42

And Squish

01:03:43

You can have her on Sundays and Mondays

01:03:47

And

01:03:47

Captain you can have her on

01:03:49

Tuesdays and Wednesdays

01:03:50

And Thursdays

01:03:52

How about night time

01:03:54

Yeah,

01:03:55

nighttime on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

01:03:57

Thursdays, we'll take turns.

01:04:01

We'll spit.

01:04:02

Yeah.

01:04:05

I think we made a real good impression.

01:04:08

Oh, yeah.

01:04:08

She's definitely in love with both of us at the same time.

01:04:13

Oh.

01:04:16

No, I'm sure she tolerates you, too.

01:04:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:04:21

You know,

01:04:22

in your hat.

01:04:23

You got a nice hat, by the way.

01:04:24

I like it.

01:04:25

It's furry.

01:04:26

We all have nice hats,

01:04:28

pal.

01:04:29

It's a fur hat.

01:04:29

That's true. Everyone has hats.

01:04:32

Everybody has hats.

01:04:36

Everybody has hats.

01:04:38

Everybody has hats.

01:04:41

Puts.

01:04:43

All right.

01:04:44

All right. Let's go to the gate.

01:04:45

Let's follow.

01:04:49

Don't she meet up with us?

01:04:51

Whoops.

01:04:52

Wrong one.

01:04:53

She got lost.

01:04:56

Yeah,

01:04:56

so you guys walk to the gates of SUK,

01:04:59

and she stops a little bit beforehand.

01:05:02

She goes, this is as far as I can be seen with you guys.

01:05:05

I mean, after what you pulled on campus earlier,

01:05:08

I'm sure there are going to be extra patrols

01:05:10

and people looking out for a man in a green hat, although with your two new hats, who knows?

01:05:15

Maybe they won't recognize you.

01:05:17

I don't know.

01:05:18

but can I just

01:05:20

ask one favor

01:05:22

before I go? I already touched your hand

01:05:28

30 seconds

01:05:30

but no time

01:05:32

30 seconds

01:05:35

can I see Neelix?

01:05:37

oh

01:05:38

well

01:05:40

sure the ghost pirate can come right here

01:05:42

and show you his old ghost

01:05:47

buddy

01:05:48

and Neelix then? Do I have to do anything?

01:05:50

No, no,

01:05:51

he's on. I'm assuming

01:05:51

you brought him with you,

01:05:53

right?

01:05:53

Yeah, he's always nearby.

01:05:55

Neelix, my old friend!

01:05:57

My old good wingman!

01:05:59

Uh,

01:06:00

ha ha!

01:06:01

Why don't you come on out and join the party?

01:06:04

It's a party.

01:06:07

Uh, you call for

01:06:09

Neelix, and normally

01:06:11

when you call Neelix, he comes straight

01:06:13

out of his bottle.

01:06:15

But go ahead and

01:06:18

patches,

01:06:19

roll your command.

01:06:23

Actually, I take that back. Have you rolled it? Don't do anything yet.

01:06:26

Roll your survey first.

01:06:34

Survey says

01:06:37

Neelix.

01:06:42

You, in a fit of anger,

01:06:44

just go in and you pull out the bottle

01:06:46

where Neelix is

01:06:49

and you just hand her

01:06:50

straight over to

01:06:52

Evelyn.

01:06:54

I do. I just gave the bottle?

01:06:57

Yeah.

01:06:57

Yeah.

01:06:59

Because he didn't come

01:07:01

so you just handed the bottle

01:07:03

over.

01:07:05

Can I slide on the opposite

01:07:07

side of her?

01:07:09

Yeah.

01:07:11

So we're both on

01:07:13

like if she wants to run

01:07:15

I'm going to be right there

01:07:17

she's just holding

01:07:19

Neelix's bottle in her hand

01:07:20

and she's kind of like holding it and she's like

01:07:22

looking at Neelix now so here's the thing

01:07:24

she is a student of this

01:07:27

particular field

01:07:28

so she knows how to handle these bottles

01:07:31

so she's looking at it and she's kind of

01:07:33

turning it around

01:07:35

and

01:07:37

if anyone else wants to

01:07:38

roll their sway or I'm sorry

01:07:40

their survey they definitely can

01:07:43

but it's up to you

01:07:45

I didn't even think about looking for anything, but now that you mentioned it, maybe I am looking for stuff.

01:07:51

This is kind of unusual.

01:07:54

Neelix never refuses to come out of his bottle.

01:07:58

He's very flamboyant,

01:07:59

and he likes people.

01:08:00

So you guys have never seen Neelix kind of not respond before.

01:08:06

What the hell's going on?

01:08:08

Neelix!

01:08:10

Turn the bottle upside down.

01:08:14

Yeah,

01:08:18

ketchup bottle.

01:08:20

That's the technical way of doing it.

01:08:22

Yeah, hit him on the 57.

01:08:26

So, let's see.

01:08:28

Squish, you are the only one, since you have slid up next to her,

01:08:31

you are the only one that has noticed that within the bottle itself,

01:08:36

Neelix is still there.

01:08:37

You can kind of see this mass,

01:08:39

this form that is Neelix.

01:08:42

He's shaking.

01:08:45

it's like tremoring inside of his bottle um and you also notice that evelyn's a little reluctant

01:08:53

to give it back she does uh hand the bottle back to you um back to you patches um and uh you take it

01:09:02

you know stuff it away uh but she was just hesitated just a minute just a minute to hand him back

01:09:10

Does he stop shaking once the bottle goes back to Patches?

01:09:16

Yes.

01:09:18

Yeah, as soon as he's back in Patches' hand, he stops shaking.

01:09:22

She kind of gives you guys a nice smile.

01:09:23

She's like, thanks for dinner tonight.

01:09:25

I mean, it was definitely an experience.

01:09:27

I hope to see you around campus later.

01:09:32

But I think I probably should go now before I get caught doing whatever it is that you guys do.

01:09:37

You sound like a rowdy bunch.

01:09:38

Thanks for the dinner,

01:09:39

Tuts.

01:09:41

yeah um she laughs earnestly at your joke uh she she's like not offended that you've called her

01:09:47

toots uh she she laughs and she goes oh maybe we'll we'll have to do something one-on-one next

01:09:52

time huh and she tussles your hair oh my god

01:10:00

uh so did she unlock the gate oh yes i'm sorry she did she's giving she didn't unlock the gate

01:10:07

but she did give you her key,

01:10:09

which is like a general skeleton key

01:10:11

that can get you into like,

01:10:12

kind of like when you're a faculty member,

01:10:15

you can get into certain doors,

01:10:16

not all doors,

01:10:17

but like she can get into her,

01:10:19

into the front door,

01:10:20

into like the office,

01:10:20

like the general wing where she works.

01:10:24

And I presume,

01:10:25

all right,

01:10:26

let's go find this.

01:10:30

Yeah.

01:10:30

This.

01:10:31

Yeah.

01:10:32

Yeah,

01:10:32

she can get into the office.

01:10:33

Let's go find this.

01:10:35

Do you think we can talk?

01:10:36

Do you think,

01:10:37

patches.

01:10:38

I'm kind of curious.

01:10:38

Well, I guess I didn't see him

01:10:41

shake. I don't know if he relayed that

01:10:43

information to me, but it might be interesting

01:10:45

to ask.

01:10:45

After she leaves,

01:10:47

yeah, I bring it up to both

01:10:49

you.

01:10:52

Let's see

01:10:53

if Neelix, what he has to say.

01:10:54

Neelix,

01:10:55

you want to come out and play?

01:10:57

No.

01:10:58

Why?

01:11:00

I don't

01:11:01

know. I got a

01:11:03

bad feeling from that check.

01:11:05

Like what? Oh, really?

01:11:06

Like she's

01:11:07

Was she badly dressed?

01:11:08

Is she actually a man?

01:11:11

Is she also a ghost?

01:11:13

I don't think she's a ghost.

01:11:14

I just...

01:11:16

I didn't like the way she was looking at me.

01:11:17

Nobody looks in my bottle.

01:11:19

My bottle is my space.

01:11:20

We're all looking in your bottle right now.

01:11:21

My place where...

01:11:24

When you say we're looking in your bottle right now,

01:11:26

he does materialize outside of his bottle.

01:11:30

Just to kind of stick it to you.

01:11:32

I just...

01:11:34

It felt weird.

01:11:35

I didn't like it.

01:11:38

hmm yeah well well maybe if you come out we'd be all on that that that you know

01:11:45

going on a third date yeah you really blew this for another date

01:11:51

i don't know sir she sounded like she she quite liked you i don't remember going to that building

01:11:56

at all i do remember going to class a lot but i swear to god i thought it was that f uh instead

01:12:01

of us but i mean it could be just because i you know dirty mind and all and i was drunk at the time

01:12:11

all right what do you guys think i'm i'm surprised about that as well as much as you are yeah i think

01:12:15

something robbed rubbed in the wrong way but uh clearly he's not going to tell us anymore

01:12:19

so get back in the bottle yo fruit

01:12:25

Wow.

01:12:26

No good?

01:12:28

You command

01:12:29

him back into his bottle.

01:12:32

I don't know what your command

01:12:33

is. I can't imagine it's very good.

01:12:35

Are you saying that I've spent my entire

01:12:38

XP

01:12:39

not on anything except tinkering?

01:12:41

You would be correct.

01:12:43

Yeah.

01:12:46

Yeah, he

01:12:47

doesn't even acknowledge that you've said

01:12:49

something to him

01:12:51

about going back into the bottle.

01:12:55

But yes,

01:12:55

You guys are standing outside of the gates of SUK.

01:12:59

It's nighttime now.

01:13:02

The gates have been locked.

01:13:07

Evelyn mentioned that there might be a heightened security presence,

01:13:10

and you have seen that.

01:13:12

You see,

01:13:13

before you even approach the main gates,

01:13:16

that there seems like there's more lights on than should be

01:13:19

for a nighttime university.

01:13:20

You kind of hear people talking.

01:13:23

Since the unfortunate events on campus earlier that day,

01:13:27

there has been an increase in security.

01:13:29

This is all the same day?

01:13:30

Throughout the whole campus.

01:13:32

Oh, God.

01:13:34

Would you imagine the shooters returned?

01:13:38

The shooters always return to the scene of the crime.

01:13:41

That night.

01:13:42

That night.

01:13:44

That night.

01:13:47

That doesn't really squish.

01:13:49

No, clearly not.

01:13:50

You guys have not been seen or anything.

01:13:55

I'm not saying that.

01:13:56

But,

01:13:56

you know, you have noticed increased security presence.

01:14:01

All right.

01:14:02

Well, I'm going to skulk over to Tam Zadarian's office.

01:14:10

Yeah,

01:14:11

let's go.

01:14:11

Tam Mazaram.

01:14:12

Are you going through the front door?

01:14:15

I mean, should we sneak through the front door?

01:14:19

So you take the key, you open up the front door, you walk through.

01:14:25

There's this, like,

01:14:25

if you look at the picture,

01:14:27

you see where this domed area is.

01:14:29

That's the front gate.

01:14:30

You're walking in.

01:14:31

There's this little vestibule that's hidden in dark and shadows.

01:14:34

As you cross into the vestibule and you go into the first courtyard,

01:14:37

there's two courtyards.

01:14:39

The first one you have to cross.

01:14:40

The second one is where the offices are.

01:14:42

You see that, yes, there are four guards patrolling the area.

01:14:47

They are walking up and down the courtyard in pairs.

01:14:56

So we have two groups.

01:14:59

Two groups,

01:15:00

two guards each,

01:15:01

four all together.

01:15:02

So time to skulk about.

01:15:04

Oh, yeah, I'm prowling right through that.

01:15:08

Prowl it.

01:15:10

I'm going to follow one group as soon as they turn around.

01:15:14

Just start walking towards the opposite side.

01:15:17

I'm going to follow them pretty closely.

01:15:21

Okay.

01:15:21

Okay.

01:15:22

Roll for your prowl.

01:15:28

All right.

01:15:30

And my hat gives me an extra.

01:15:33

That's true.

01:15:35

Making no logical sense at all.

01:15:40

Well,

01:15:41

I critically succeeded.

01:15:44

Yeah.

01:15:44

So are you...

01:15:47

Skulking.

01:15:50

Sorry, let me write that down.

01:15:52

Yeah, so you are able to kind of match the guard's steps.

01:15:56

So there's two guards,

01:15:57

one heading this way,

01:15:58

one coming the other way.

01:16:00

And you're able to kind of match your steps with the guards going towards the second courtyard

01:16:06

that you kind of disappear into the shadows.

01:16:08

You're able to kind of use the natural environment to hide yourself fairly well.

01:16:15

But you have left your two comrades also in the vestibule waiting.

01:16:20

What do they do?

01:16:23

I start sneaking in too,

01:16:24

kind of trying to just hide in the shadows,

01:16:27

you know,

01:16:28

skulking about.

01:16:30

I'm hanging in the back to see how it goes for these two.

01:16:34

What should I roll, Bridget?

01:16:36

Skulking.

01:16:37

wow

01:16:49

oh no

01:16:51

yeah so

01:16:52

so you you start prowling

01:16:54

um but instead of staying to the shadows

01:16:56

you almost immediately

01:16:58

step into a very well lit

01:17:00

area um and the

01:17:02

two guards that

01:17:05

are down

01:17:07

facing the courtyard point and you can see them they spot you and they start running uh up to you

01:17:14

or they're going to run to cross the courtyard uh and talk to you uh i run to hide what

01:17:22

okay uh we'll do your hiding in just a second uh chuckles you have seen uh his squish successfully

01:17:31

kind of mimic the the other guard steps and is stealthily sneaking away uh and now you've seen

01:17:37

uh patches take two steps and immediately be spotted oh dear um can i so i guess you guys

01:17:43

just walked right through the courtyard is there is there a way to go through the halls around the

01:17:50

side of the courtyard or that vestibule just leads right into the courtyard and that's it

01:17:57

so the vestibule does lead right into the courtyard but there are like holes on the other side so

01:18:03

you don't have to like a meet just cross the whole courtyard sighted or or visible you could

01:18:08

go to the sides um of this courtyard um yeah after you like cross the initial smaller area of the

01:18:16

okay yeah instead of like trying to go towards the guards maybe i will go along the side towards

01:18:25

But in the back, like along the wall,

01:18:28

almost like like right shimmying across the wall.

01:18:35

Like a whole classic.

01:18:36

Yes,

01:18:36

exactly like that.

01:18:38

Yes.

01:18:38

As if as if I have camouflage across the wall, I'm not even sure of the same color,

01:18:42

but I figure if I miss flat to the wall as possible,

01:18:46

that may help.

01:18:49

Yeah.

01:18:49

Yeah.

01:18:49

Go ahead and roll your problem.

01:19:03

so with complete stealth you kind of disappear into the wall that you're shimmying and you're

01:19:10

like a chameleon almost and you're able to like scoot yourself um into this cross the vestibule

01:19:18

unseen and you hide in the shadows of the hallway where it is not as lit and not as well visible.

01:19:26

Let me add that two.

01:19:34

Two for shimmying.

01:19:36

That'll make me laugh later.

01:19:39

Okay.

01:19:40

So you guys are fairly well hidden at the moment.

01:19:46

Patches, you're not.

01:19:47

the guards are coming up to you do you how do you want to play that

01:19:53

you see two guards like heading towards you walking briskly towards you pointing at you

01:19:57

they've spotted you

01:20:04

sorry i'm gonna run and hide in a bush maybe

01:20:08

okay um so you're just gonna try to like out just just lose them in a bush yeah yeah i was

01:20:14

and the shadows are in a bush or something like that,

01:20:16

you know, roll for bush.

01:20:18

Turn around and jump into a bush.

01:20:23

I mean, I figure,

01:20:24

you know,

01:20:25

this is a good enough distraction for you guys.

01:20:28

I'll take one for the team.

01:20:29

Okay.

01:20:30

You want to take one stress and then benefit them?

01:20:34

Is that what you're doing?

01:20:35

No, I'm hiding.

01:20:36

I'm just trying to be a distraction.

01:20:39

Okay.

01:20:40

I'm already pretty stressed.

01:20:43

Roll your finesse.

01:20:55

all right um so you're able to spot a bush uh a pretty good distance away and you well tell me

01:21:03

about how you jump into that bush to hide okay so i immediately they see me in the light and i book

01:21:09

it. And I'm like Scooby-Doo-ing booking it.

01:21:12

And I lose them in the shadows

01:21:13

for just a split second and I see this bush.

01:21:16

It's the perfect bush.

01:21:18

We're talking that's nice.

01:21:19

It's hollowed out in the middle.

01:21:20

It's a perfect

01:21:21

kind of bush.

01:21:22

And I run up

01:21:23

and I do a ginormous leap in the air like

01:21:25

I'm diving off a diving board. And I

01:21:27

dive into the book. And if it was a

01:21:29

if this was a pool,

01:21:30

I would have won an award.

01:21:32

Since it's a bush,

01:21:33

I still

01:21:33

win an award.

01:21:34

Alright?

01:21:36

And

01:21:37

it was like in the bush didn't

01:21:39

You know how divers dive into a pool

01:21:42

and it doesn't even leave any?

01:21:44

It's like that with the bush.

01:21:47

Barely shook.

01:21:49

Now you're just lost in the bush.

01:21:51

They look in the bush and they can't find you.

01:21:53

They're just moving branches

01:21:55

and you have just become

01:21:58

liquid in the bush.

01:22:00

It's the perfect bush dive.

01:22:03

He has become bush league.

01:22:05

I have bushed.

01:22:10

yeah and uh yeah and now i am uh a bush i'm i'm bush people now

01:22:16

so so you've disappeared into the push now uh uh squish you have been uh tailoring tailing the

01:22:25

the two guards that were walking the opposite away towards the other courtyard where you guys need to

01:22:30

be um now they have seen the other guards running past you know very quickly that they are also

01:22:37

going to turn and see what the commotion is uh which would make you visible how would you like

01:22:42

to to respond to that i'm also going to dive into a bush okay yeah roll your finesse that makes

01:22:49

makes sense.

01:22:52

Bush diving.

01:22:53

101.

01:22:59

I do it almost as good as Captain.

01:23:05

Yeah, it turns out

01:23:07

that you guys actually

01:23:08

are pretty good at

01:23:10

disappearing into bushes.

01:23:12

It's a strange skill that nobody's

01:23:14

ever known before.

01:23:16

Yeah, you've also

01:23:18

jumped and disappeared into the bush.

01:23:19

So now,

01:23:20

Chuckles,

01:23:21

you have seen both people disappear into both.

01:23:24

You're well hidden.

01:23:25

Yeah,

01:23:26

but I am jealous.

01:23:27

Do you want to do anything or did you?

01:23:29

You are jealous.

01:23:30

Do you want to dive into the bush,

01:23:31

too, or do you want to wait it out and see what happens?

01:23:36

I think waiting would be a really good idea,

01:23:40

but.

01:23:42

I'm going to try diving into the bush.

01:23:46

Sure.

01:23:46

Yeah.

01:23:48

Bend the bush.

01:23:55

Don't.

01:23:58

So you've gone to dive into the bush,

01:24:01

but unfortunately,

01:24:03

you know, you kind of picked a small one.

01:24:05

I'm a small man.

01:24:06

And instead of hiding you,

01:24:09

as you would have hoped, you kind of just roll into the center of the courtyard,

01:24:14

you know,

01:24:15

kind of tumble the wrong direction.

01:24:17

And so now instead of hiding yourself,

01:24:19

you are now in the middle of the courtyard with all four guards'

01:24:22

attention upon you.

01:24:23

Uh-oh.

01:24:30

They see you now because you were in the shadows of the hallway.

01:24:37

You popped out of nowhere.

01:24:38

You did kind of this tumble, roll, and stand up.

01:24:40

I imagine that it was a lot like Willy Wonka when he falls and tumbles down the carpet.

01:24:45

And everyone gasped.

01:24:46

just pops up and everyone's just like but but you did this in a way to be stealthy which obviously

01:24:52

is the opposite of it uh and so you have four guards uh quickly that are surrounding you uh

01:24:56

because the guards that were heading towards patches have now seen you jump uh literally out

01:25:01

of the bushes i suppose and and see you and they they surround you um you uh other two are on either

01:25:10

side of the

01:25:13

courtyard.

01:25:14

Brandon, you were on one side.

01:25:16

Sorry,

01:25:17

Patches, you were on one side.

01:25:18

Squish, you were on the other.

01:25:19

And you see

01:25:21

Chuckles

01:25:22

between the two of you

01:25:24

surrounded by guards.

01:25:25

What would you

01:25:26

two like to do?

01:25:28

Leave him for dad, I'm sure.

01:25:31

My God,

01:25:32

you are

01:25:32

just the biggest wet blanket

01:25:34

sometimes.

01:25:35

What do you mean the biggest wet blanket? I'm about to

01:25:36

be murdered in cold blood.

01:25:40

And you assume we're going to let that happen?

01:25:42

I know that's what Andy's going to say.

01:25:44

It's going to be the first thing out of his mouth.

01:25:45

See, I don't give a shit.

01:25:46

I'm going to go into Tam Tamarang's house

01:25:50

and do a fart,

01:25:51

probably.

01:25:53

And I'm going to sleep with your girlfriend afterwards.

01:25:55

I know he's already thinking about it.

01:25:59

Chuck Bulls doesn't know that, though.

01:26:01

No, I still don't know about that.

01:26:03

And we're not going to come to blows.

01:26:04

Guys, do you think it's time for Hotman to come out again?

01:26:08

Is this a Hotman situation?

01:26:09

I mean, I feel like Hotman has made some really good progress in suppressing his urges.

01:26:20

All right.

01:26:21

So we got him down.

01:26:23

He's bright.

01:26:25

Pull him out as a distraction.

01:26:27

Let them chase the Hotman.

01:26:28

Yes, but don't tell him to go wild.

01:26:32

Don't burn anything ever.

01:26:34

Don't burn anything.

01:26:35

Don't burn anything ever.

01:26:42

works for me

01:26:43

that's what I'm doing

01:26:46

so in a flashback scene

01:26:48

you guys had mentioned

01:26:50

while you're sitting at the table waiting for your dinner to go

01:26:52

and say after you watched

01:26:54

you know the Saganaki get hit

01:26:56

get lit by a hot man you're like

01:26:59

you know

01:27:00

if shit should go down tonight

01:27:03

just let

01:27:04

hot man out but don't let him burn

01:27:06

things

01:27:07

don't burn things ever

01:27:09

thing to say in the middle of dinner.

01:27:12

Only cheese.

01:27:14

Maybe he's

01:27:15

only allowed to... Maybe we heard him

01:27:17

when that demon came out to do fire.

01:27:20

We heard

01:27:21

Hodman sensed it and he was just banging on

01:27:23

his bottle.

01:27:26

Yes,

01:27:26

he was jonesing.

01:27:27

I want to burn

01:27:29

cheese and other things.

01:27:38

Alright, so

01:27:39

Patches, you have

01:27:40

Hotman.

01:27:41

You have to do

01:27:42

a little dance to get him out.

01:27:45

Thankfully, my bush cave is

01:27:46

pretty big.

01:27:47

My bush cave.

01:27:50

Disgusting.

01:27:59

So you let him out?

01:28:01

Yeah.

01:28:03

I'm giving him instructions.

01:28:04

I let him out and I'm like, hey man, listen.

01:28:07

I know you want to burn things.

01:28:09

I think we've weaned you off it.

01:28:10

We haven't taken it out in a while because,

01:28:12

let's be honest, you've burned a lot of things.

01:28:14

However, my little buddy out there needs help,

01:28:16

okay?

01:28:22

And I need you out there.

01:28:24

But don't burn things,

01:28:26

all right?

01:28:26

Remember, we've been saying this mantra, don't burn things ever,

01:28:30

all right?

01:28:31

You just get out there.

01:28:32

You run down the path and run out the door and get the cops to follow you, get those guys to follow you.

01:28:38

You're big, you're bright,

01:28:39

you're a glowing personality.

01:28:41

They'll follow you and then just vanish after that, you know?

01:28:47

You understand?

01:28:48

Are you burning?

01:28:49

Are you okay?

01:28:52

So, he's got enough situational awareness that he is like a relatively small ember at the moment.

01:28:58

Kind of like a mini version of himself.

01:29:00

And he's like, don't burn things.

01:29:03

Don't burn things, yes, yes.

01:29:05

Just glow.

01:29:06

Just, you know,

01:29:08

just glow your shine,

01:29:09

boy,

01:29:09

you know?

01:29:10

And run.

01:29:11

And run.

01:29:12

Run like a streaker.

01:29:13

Roll your command.

01:29:16

What?

01:29:16

Run around like a streaker.

01:29:17

Roll your command.

01:29:18

Oh, I was telling you.

01:29:19

Run around like a perfect,

01:29:20

yeah, a streaker that's on fire.

01:29:25

Thus I command.

01:29:38

he gets it he grows to his his normal size he's a normal human size uh he is a light he just

01:29:47

waves his arm in the air just goes whoo and starts booking it down the courtyard and like a dog that's

01:29:55

got a ball it wants to chase it just starts going and he's running circles and like be trying to be

01:30:02

a distraction waving his arms in the air um you know jumping and he's like look at me look at me

01:30:08

look at me i'm on fire but he's not burning anything he's leaving a small uh you know burn

01:30:15

stain on the grass where he is he can't help that burn stain on the on the on the grass

01:30:23

He can't help that.

01:30:25

But he just starts running.

01:30:27

And you see the guards and they go, oh,

01:30:28

God, not again.

01:30:30

And they take Chase after him.

01:30:33

And the four of them run out of the courtyard of the university.

01:30:39

And you guys are left alone in the university grounds.

01:30:43

I'm running.

01:30:44

I'm shouting from my bush.

01:30:47

I imagine my bush, every time I talk, the bush shakes a little bit.

01:30:50

Like, when I'm talking, like, Juggles, get out of there.

01:30:53

Is that a talking bush?

01:30:55

Am I Moses?

01:30:56

No.

01:30:59

It's co-captain Patches.

01:31:02

I'm a bush captain now.

01:31:03

Get out of there.

01:31:04

Co-captain Patches who?

01:31:07

Mackenzie.

01:31:09

All right.

01:31:10

Of Clan Mackenzie.

01:31:13

I've come to cut your head off.

01:31:14

Get out of there.

01:31:15

So do I have to dive into the bush again?

01:31:19

Yeah, you have to dive.

01:31:23

he can go to the other courtyard guys yeah so he he patches pulls you into the bush

01:31:30

and you guys sit there for for a while hearing in the distance hopman's hooting and hollering as he

01:31:35

as he runs down the streets but you don't see any smoke you don't hear any alarms and how long do

01:31:41

you guys sit there until you realize there's no one else coming i i it's a pretty nice bush cave

01:31:48

I've pretty much set up camp in here already.

01:31:50

I've got a little setup going on in here.

01:31:54

And I really think Yarr, I think the Hotman's become a little bit more controlled.

01:32:00

Don't you think?

01:32:00

I'm really proud of him.

01:32:01

He's really developed.

01:32:02

He's grown.

01:32:04

He is grown.

01:32:05

He's grown from a little lumber to a raging bonfire.

01:32:10

And now we've got him as a controlled little flame.

01:32:13

Yeah.

01:32:13

I mean, look at him go.

01:32:16

Yeah,

01:32:16

yeah.

01:32:16

He's doing a good job.

01:32:17

I'm really proud of him.

01:32:18

Hopefully he doesn't burn all of Lockboard down afterwards,

01:32:21

but we got to take it as we can,

01:32:23

right?

01:32:24

Now,

01:32:25

where is the demon?

01:32:27

Where is Squish?

01:32:30

Is he in his own bush cave?

01:32:34

I'm waiting by the door to go to the other courtyard.

01:32:36

Oh, don't you want to come in our bush cave?

01:32:38

Yeah, so you guys have been talking in your bush cave.

01:32:41

Yeah,

01:32:42

Squish realized after a few seconds that no one else was coming

01:32:44

and just stood up and walked casually

01:32:47

like over to the door to the other

01:32:49

courtyard.

01:32:52

Oh, I guess we should

01:32:53

probably wrap up camp here, huh?

01:32:56

Yeah.

01:32:58

All right, well,

01:32:59

I stand up too and come out of the bush cave.

01:33:04

Oops, sorry.

01:33:07

This would have been useful to have.

01:33:08

You were in that bush?

01:33:09

I forgot I had this one.

01:33:11

You were in the bush the whole time.

01:33:12

Yeah, so you guys walk through the first courtyard.

01:33:15

You enter the second courtyard.

01:33:17

And,

01:33:17

yeah,

01:33:19

Hopman's screaming and shouting did, in fact,

01:33:22

kind of clear the guards temporarily out.

01:33:25

You're also noticing,

01:33:26

too,

01:33:27

that the secondary courtyard that you're in,

01:33:30

the entire courtyard has just been cautioned off with tape from your earlier activities.

01:33:37

There are little number cards around where the shells from Squish's attack cards.

01:33:43

It really makes you think,

01:33:44

doesn't it,

01:33:45

Squish?

01:33:46

I hope.

01:33:47

Do I see my hat?

01:33:49

What?

01:33:50

My top hat.

01:33:51

Do you see your hat?

01:33:52

Did I leave that?

01:33:53

My top hat?

01:33:54

Yeah,

01:33:55

you did leave that.

01:33:57

Yeah, and it's just kind of like lying in the middle of the spray.

01:34:02

I'm going to pick that up along with the shell casings.

01:34:06

Okay.

01:34:07

Yeah,

01:34:07

you pick them up and pocket the crime scene.

01:34:11

You tamper with an active investigation.

01:34:16

You return to the scene of your own crime and tampered with it.

01:34:22

You are a real sicko.

01:34:27

And,

01:34:27

yeah, you cross the courtyard.

01:34:30

You just kind of walk around this reminder of your shame.

01:34:34

And you get to the botany offices and you see the hallway that you need to head down.

01:34:42

Is there a door on it?

01:34:44

No,

01:34:45

no.

01:34:45

So there's no door to get into like the hallway.

01:34:49

But to get into his office,

01:34:50

yes, there's going to be a door.

01:34:52

All right.

01:34:53

Juckles.

01:34:56

Yar.

01:34:58

No, that's mine.

01:34:59

You say that's me.

01:35:02

That's me.

01:35:03

I'm Juckles.

01:35:07

can you pick the lock on damsarian's office uh yeah you sure it's the right door

01:35:15

yeah so as you guys walk down as you guys walk down this hallway you know botany is about flowers

01:35:22

right and so you see a lot of like it's not about buttons uh you see a lot of like really cheerful

01:35:30

like the doors are very cheerful like one of them's got like a sunflower on it and one of them has a

01:35:36

daisy and one of them has a violet and then you guys pass tam mazaran's door which is just a dark

01:35:44

decrepit door like with locks and padlocks and it's just it looks haunted um and really sticks

01:35:52

out on this otherwise cheerful

01:35:55

cheerful office floor.

01:35:57

Hmm.

01:35:58

This is odd.

01:36:01

Maybe Patches...

01:36:02

Do you want to attune to this door

01:36:04

in case there's ghosts or something in it?

01:36:08

Oh,

01:36:08

of course.

01:36:10

This door definitely seems haunted.

01:36:11

I've always said

01:36:12

people who are into botany are

01:36:15

creepy individuals.

01:36:17

That's not a pun.

01:36:19

No, no.

01:36:20

But I also might have been thinking about people who are obsessed

01:36:22

buttons.

01:36:22

I thought button me was something.

01:36:25

I'm not letting

01:36:26

that gag go just yet.

01:36:29

Should I attune,

01:36:30

Bridget?

01:36:31

Yeah, attune.

01:36:33

I will attune.

01:36:40

What am I feeling?

01:36:43

Guessing. So you

01:36:44

attune,

01:36:46

and

01:36:46

you are not,

01:36:47

you

01:36:48

don't feel anything

01:36:51

like a ghost or a demon

01:36:53

or anything like that.

01:36:54

But you do sense that there is life

01:36:57

of some sort on the other side of the door.

01:37:00

And you say some sort

01:37:01

because it's not like, you can tell

01:37:03

something, you're like,

01:37:05

there's definitely people back there,

01:37:06

but you can't

01:37:07

tell something's up.

01:37:11

Something's up back there.

01:37:12

This is definitely weird.

01:37:15

You want to try picking it?

01:37:16

Alright, Chuckles.

01:37:17

Do your thing.

01:37:19

Do your stuff.

01:37:20

Keep it around.

01:37:24

Tinker.

01:37:25

Door.

01:37:28

That door.

01:37:38

You're able to open the door or pick the locks that are covering the door.

01:37:43

but as you're

01:37:47

as you're doing so

01:37:49

you notice that there is light

01:37:51

under the door and that there are

01:37:53

figures who pass

01:37:55

kind of from one side of the room

01:37:57

to the other. You can see their figures cross

01:37:59

and shadow the door on the other

01:38:01

end and you kind of just hear

01:38:03

a general sort of like

01:38:06

shuffling on the other

01:38:07

side.

01:38:09

You guys sure you want me to open this?

01:38:11

There's some people on the inside

01:38:16

or something

01:38:17

well we have to get in there

01:38:19

oh alright

01:38:21

uh

01:38:23

I guess

01:38:24

oh squish goes first with his gun

01:38:26

alright well then I yeah I'll open it

01:38:28

but I'll open it in a way that I'm hiding

01:38:30

behind the door as I open it

01:38:34

yeah okay

01:38:35

cause I'm a scaredy cat

01:38:36

alright does everyone see that

01:38:39

oh man

01:38:39

I don't like how it's called madness lab

01:38:44

so i had a little fun with the the tam mazarin's madness lap um

01:38:51

that was just fun i just had fun um we have fun so we have fun here i came up with the name and

01:38:58

i thought that's such a silly name um so you open up the door and it's not quite like what any office

01:39:07

you were expecting.

01:39:08

And it's more than just an office.

01:39:10

You kind of open the door and you walk in

01:39:13

and you're greeted by kind of a central open area.

01:39:17

And you can see there are multiple rooms leading

01:39:19

off of this central area, like this like waiting room essentially.

01:39:23

And there's a door in the back

01:39:25

that says laboratory,

01:39:26

not laboratory,

01:39:28

laboratory on the very back wall.

01:39:33

But when you walk in,

01:39:35

You don't hear anything.

01:39:37

You don't see anything.

01:39:39

The lights are on.

01:39:40

There clearly was someone here either relatively recently or forgot to turn off the lights because they hate the environment.

01:39:48

But it otherwise looks normal.

01:39:51

There are tables and chairs in front of you.

01:39:55

Like I said, you can see a room off to either side,

01:39:58

door in the middle, laboratory.

01:40:00

But it looks empty.

01:40:05

All right, we should try to find his desk.

01:40:07

That's probably where he's going to keep the stolen papers.

01:40:09

Yeah, let's loot his lab.

01:40:14

Are you going into the lab first?

01:40:18

No, no, I want to find his desk.

01:40:21

Is that in the lab or is it off to his side?

01:40:27

So you kind of poke your head around.

01:40:30

So through the door on the left is like a storeroom.

01:40:34

You see there are lots of dried herbs in there,

01:40:37

lots of boxes,

01:40:39

lots of just random assortment of things.

01:40:44

Obviously, you can look and get more,

01:40:46

but it's definitely a storeroom of some sort.

01:40:48

On the other side, yes,

01:40:49

is his office.

01:40:50

You can see that his desk and chairs and table are in there.

01:40:54

And it looks like this is where he most recently has been writing their stacks of pages.

01:40:58

Okay, I want to go towards his desk.

01:41:01

Okay.

01:41:01

Instead of going through and looking for the Neelix papers.

01:41:05

Okay.

01:41:07

Chuckles and patches?

01:41:10

Yeah, I'm just surveying the room,

01:41:12

taking a look around,

01:41:13

seeing what I can find going through and shit.

01:41:15

You know, looking through drawers.

01:41:16

Looking up, picking up pieces of paper.

01:41:18

Okay, are you going towards the office or are you going to the storeroom?

01:41:22

Where did Andy go again?

01:41:23

The office?

01:41:24

Yeah.

01:41:25

Yeah, I'll go to the storeroom then.

01:41:28

Okay.

01:41:29

Oops

01:41:29

Let me get down here

01:41:32

I should actually add you

01:41:32

Hold on

01:41:40

So Patches

01:41:41

You're in the storeroom over here

01:41:43

And we've got

01:41:46

Tarquish over here

01:41:48

And then

01:41:49

Chuckles,

01:41:50

you?

01:41:51

Well yeah I straggled in

01:41:53

Because I was hiding behind the door

01:41:54

And when I heard nothing happened

01:41:56

So I came and walked around

01:41:58

and now I'm by myself again.

01:42:02

Are you scared?

01:42:02

Yes, I'm scared.

01:42:04

Standing in the middle of the room.

01:42:05

Yeah.

01:42:09

Yeah, I'm kind of looking around.

01:42:10

I don't really know what to do at this point.

01:42:14

So...

01:42:15

Are you shaking?

01:42:15

No, I'm not shaking.

01:42:16

I'm not that scared.

01:42:17

So I might just sit down on the stair with a stoop

01:42:22

and take a beat

01:42:23

and then be sad for a second

01:42:25

because my friends left me.

01:42:29

so uh you you sit down on the steps uh leading into this place you are in front of directly in

01:42:35

front of a door um and you see that it has letters on it this does say laboratory i'm assuming it's

01:42:43

going to take you a little bit to figure that out yeah put up a timer through it and put up a clock

01:42:48

yeah put up a clock learn to read um all right uh squish if you want to roll uh your your survey

01:42:54

to see what you find in his room.

01:42:56

You're welcome to do so.

01:43:02

Okay.

01:43:08

Two ones.

01:43:11

Two ones and a six.

01:43:15

Only one of those counts.

01:43:17

Turns out.

01:43:18

Yeah, it's the highest.

01:43:20

Let me look.

01:43:22

What do I got here?

01:43:30

sorry uh yeah so um in his office his his desk is filled with a lot of papers a lot of it you

01:43:38

don't understand um there are like a lot of recipes there a lot of scientific notations this is clearly

01:43:44

kind of similar to a chemist or an alchemist workshop where there's just a lot of notes um

01:43:48

And one of the first things that you find,

01:43:51

though, on the table is a black envelope with, like, gilded lettering and gilded edges on it.

01:44:01

And when you flip it over,

01:44:03

it says Lockport Flower Society.

01:44:06

Or, sorry, Lockport Flower Garden Club.

01:44:10

Oh,

01:44:11

well,

01:44:11

can I open it or take it with me?

01:44:14

Yeah.

01:44:15

A flower business.

01:44:18

Are you opening it or are you taking it with you?

01:44:22

I'll take it with and then keep searching for those lost Neelix papers.

01:44:27

Okay,

01:44:28

yeah, you go ahead and you pocket that card.

01:44:35

Patches, what are you looking for?

01:44:37

I'm just kind of rooting through his closet,

01:44:40

you know, seeing what I find.

01:44:42

Is there anything good in here?

01:44:43

Okay,

01:44:43

same thing, do a survey.

01:44:46

Are there any hats?

01:44:49

any cool any cool things i can possibly add to my repertoire

01:44:59

so as you're going through uh the recipes unfortunately you're not very culinarily

01:45:04

inclined nor are you a botanist so you don't really understand what it is that you're looking

01:45:10

at but you're looking at a lot of like what looks like dried herbs a lot of solvents a lot of like

01:45:16

actual like

01:45:18

soil like potting soil

01:45:22

that you see quite a bit

01:45:25

nothing that really

01:45:26

really sticks out to you

01:45:28

but you do recognize that all of the

01:45:30

all of the packages have

01:45:32

the same label on them

01:45:35

what's the label?

01:45:36

all of the label

01:45:38

well I will tell you

01:45:39

the label is the

01:45:42

Lockport Flower Garden Club

01:45:44

an inventory list, like a packing list

01:45:47

on the outside from the Lockport Flower Garden Club.

01:45:49

Oh, goodness.

01:45:51

Oh, the LFGC.

01:45:55

And then,

01:45:56

Chuckles,

01:45:57

you've stared at the door

01:45:59

long enough that you do

01:46:01

see that it says Laboratory.

01:46:02

Oh, Laboratory.

01:46:03

You have made out the word.

01:46:05

Oh, that makes sense.

01:46:07

I guess I wouldn't know this, but Patches

01:46:09

went in where?

01:46:11

What was the name of that one?

01:46:14

uh pat just went into a storeroom and squish went into an office

01:46:17

uh i was like well yeah i'm going to a laboratory

01:46:23

uh you you approach the laboratory door um it's a really heavy door um unlike the doors that were

01:46:31

like just typical exterior you can tell this is a very very heavy door and it is locked oh

01:46:36

that's how you know that there's some good stuff behind it i better yeah i'm going to i'm going to

01:46:42

I'm going to take this thing open.

01:46:44

All right.

01:46:54

Tink away.

01:46:55

Easy peasy.

01:46:59

The lock holds no resistance for you whatsoever.

01:47:04

You're able to just easily unlock it and pull it open.

01:47:09

But when you do so.

01:47:12

I'm greeted by balloons.

01:47:14

Confetti.

01:47:17

Congratulations.

01:47:18

Congratulations.

01:47:20

Your biggest customer.

01:47:22

With candles.

01:47:23

Yes.

01:47:25

With candles.

01:47:25

Yes, I'm the thousandth customer.

01:47:31

Don't play that one.

01:47:37

No.

01:47:38

Well.

01:47:40

anyway you walk in uh and you the lights are dimmer here this is a very large circle like

01:47:47

semi-circular room um there is a lot of more like activity in here in that there are flasks on

01:47:56

stoves there are things bubbling there are things brewing this is more an active part you see lots

01:48:01

of flames and bunsen burgers there's a lot of there's less light uh than there was earlier it's

01:48:07

very dimly lit.

01:48:08

But you

01:48:09

do kind of hear people

01:48:11

moving around

01:48:13

back here.

01:48:16

But you can't quite

01:48:17

see them yet.

01:48:20

Like as you're

01:48:21

sitting on the stairs, you're looking through the doorway, you can hear

01:48:24

people shuffling

01:48:25

around,

01:48:26

but you haven't been able to

01:48:27

see them, who it is.

01:48:30

Okay.

01:48:33

Okay.

01:48:36

Squish patches

01:48:37

Anything from you guys?

01:48:40

So after I went through the desk, I would probably walk towards the laboratory and see that Juggleswood inside to go.

01:48:51

And I would go right behind him.

01:48:53

Okay.

01:48:54

So you enter the laboratory as well.

01:48:57

Patches?

01:48:59

Yeah, I'm just kind of wandering around.

01:49:00

I guess I'm going to see what all the hubbub is about.

01:49:06

Okay.

01:49:06

But the three of you kind of gather in the doorway.

01:49:10

And as you do so, you hear like this shuffling.

01:49:15

And I say shuffling because it doesn't sound like footsteps.

01:49:19

It sounds like people really just dragging their feet.

01:49:22

And from the very dim light ahead of you, eventually you see what looks like a person crossing the floor in front of you.

01:49:34

They haven't seemed to take any sort of notice of you.

01:49:36

But these are,

01:49:38

this is a very, very pale man.

01:49:42

He looks very, very dazed.

01:49:44

He doesn't look like he hears you or sees you.

01:49:46

He's just kind of walking.

01:49:49

He is a student.

01:49:50

He's dressed with the varsity letters on his chest.

01:49:56

And,

01:49:58

yeah.

01:49:58

Do they have bullet wounds in their ass?

01:50:01

They do.

01:50:02

They do have a few bullet wounds in their butts.

01:50:04

This one in particular.

01:50:05

Oh boy.

01:50:07

Oh boy.

01:50:09

Oh.

01:50:10

Do you think they remember

01:50:12

that they got shot in the ass?

01:50:13

They probably don't remember us, but they probably remember that hat.

01:50:19

They can't see the hat.

01:50:23

It blends in with bushes.

01:50:25

And labs.

01:50:26

Yeah,

01:50:26

and laboratories.

01:50:32

Uncle,

01:50:34

since you know the boy that shot,

01:50:35

Oh really?

01:50:36

If only you hadn't done that

01:50:40

If only you hadn't caused a school shooting

01:50:42

Yes

01:50:44

Yeah well there's no evidence to link it back to me now

01:50:48

Well this isn't exactly a court of law

01:50:54

As you guys stand here

01:50:56

Maybe if we don't move they won't be able to see us

01:51:04

Patches, you got anything you want to add?

01:51:07

I'm just trying to hide so that they don't see us.

01:51:10

I'm going to try to see what these guys are up to.

01:51:13

So you're going to enter into the laboratory?

01:51:16

Yeah,

01:51:16

but sneakily.

01:51:18

Okay.

01:51:19

So,

01:51:19

yeah,

01:51:20

Patches,

01:51:20

go ahead and roll your prowl.

01:51:23

Oh, that's not good.

01:51:26

You're famously not great.

01:51:28

Famously not good at anything.

01:51:31

Wow.

01:51:33

And you're really good at being mean.

01:51:35

That's what I was going for.

01:51:40

Oh,

01:51:41

well, you got nothing in that, huh?

01:51:43

You take one step down the stairs onto the floor,

01:51:48

and the front door,

01:51:49

the office door that you came into from the hallway,

01:51:54

slams shut.

01:51:55

Uh-oh.

01:51:56

And you hear someone with fast footsteps walking up behind you.

01:52:04

Okay.

01:52:04

Turn around.

01:52:05

Who is it?

01:52:07

It is Tam Mazaram.

01:52:10

Oh,

01:52:11

does he see me?

01:52:13

Does he like me?

01:52:22

You think after three years,

01:52:23

you know.

01:52:27

Sorry,

01:52:27

I've lost him.

01:52:29

Oh, there he is.

01:52:35

uh tam mazarin um yeah yeah tam mazarin is wearing a very very dark hood he is a very um

01:52:44

pale looking but very angry and frustrated man and he walks in sees the three of you standing

01:52:49

into the hizzle of the war tour and he goes what the hell do you think you're doing

01:52:53

this is not where we

01:52:55

parked our ship is it guys

01:52:58

no no

01:52:59

we got coming around

01:53:01

is this where the bathroom is at

01:53:03

actually

01:53:05

yeah

01:53:05

he starts

01:53:07

actually I think we're actually in the bathroom

01:53:10

yeah

01:53:11

ignore the map slightly

01:53:13

he starts walking straight towards you

01:53:16

and you guys are

01:53:17

well

01:53:19

Patches you are in the room

01:53:21

You have already entered.

01:53:23

Chuckles,

01:53:24

squish,

01:53:24

he is heading straight towards you.

01:53:27

Are you going to stand your ground or are you going to fall back into the laboratory?

01:53:32

I'm going to fall back and try to hide.

01:53:35

Okay.

01:53:36

You said it's not that dark or it's not that light in here.

01:53:40

Yeah, it's very,

01:53:41

it's very poorly lit.

01:53:43

You're not able to see much.

01:53:44

Yeah, so you skedaddle into the darkness of the lab.

01:53:48

Chuckles,

01:53:49

you're standing there.

01:53:50

I mean, I would just naturally just follow Squish.

01:53:54

He's the big one.

01:53:56

All right, I got a plan.

01:53:57

You got a plan?

01:53:59

I got a plan.

01:54:02

So you guys,

01:54:03

you follow Squish into the laboratory.

01:54:09

Tam Mazarin walks straight in there.

01:54:13

He slams the door shut behind him into the laboratory.

01:54:17

And you all have gone to run and hide.

01:54:20

And he goes,

01:54:20

you can run.

01:54:24

What?

01:54:24

I didn't hide.

01:54:26

No,

01:54:26

you didn't hide.

01:54:27

I'm sorry.

01:54:27

You're standing there.

01:54:29

Shook.

01:54:31

Shook.

01:54:31

I'm sorry.

01:54:32

What were you planning on doing once you were found?

01:54:35

Oh,

01:54:35

I'm going to pretend to be a drunk student.

01:54:39

That's your plan?

01:54:39

I got lost.

01:54:42

You are a drunk student.

01:54:46

It's a perfect crime.

01:54:50

he slams the laboratory door

01:54:52

besides him and he like storms down

01:54:54

the stairs and he grabs you by your cuff

01:54:56

and he goes you can't be in here what are you doing

01:54:58

in here

01:55:00

I thought this was

01:55:02

where the party is

01:55:05

I'm Shore Leave

01:55:06

and I'm a student at this school

01:55:08

and I'm very drunk right now

01:55:10

where am I right now is this the boat

01:55:12

is this horns

01:55:15

I swear I was at

01:55:16

Jorge's recently.

01:55:17

What was this?

01:55:19

This place smells funny

01:55:20

and you got a bathroom in your hallway down there.

01:55:22

You know that, right?

01:55:25

And I'm just really

01:55:26

trying to be drunk as possible and it's

01:55:28

really coming easily.

01:55:29

I'm finding it's

01:55:30

very easy to slip.

01:55:31

It's like

01:55:32

in my head, I'm like, man, this is way easier to act

01:55:34

like I'm drunk than I thought it would be.

01:55:37

Maybe because you are drunk?

01:55:39

Do you?

01:55:40

Go ahead and roll your sway

01:55:42

to see how convincing you are.

01:55:59

uh he he takes you and he goes you can't be in here they haven't finished cooking yet

01:56:06

uh and he kind of shoves you over um and from the darkness you again you you hear this kind of like

01:56:12

shuffling and you see another of the students pass by.

01:56:17

You're close enough now, Patches, though, that you can notice the very gray,

01:56:23

unearthly pallor of their skin.

01:56:25

Their skin looks,

01:56:26

their whole visage looks like it's just been drained entirely of color.

01:56:32

His mouth is a little slack-jawed,

01:56:35

and his eyes are very unglazed.

01:56:40

Your students here need a tan, man.

01:56:43

You should go to the beach

01:56:45

Yar

01:56:47

No you idiot

01:56:49

They're not

01:56:50

They're the boys from earlier

01:56:53

They weren't supposed to be done yet

01:56:56

Done?

01:56:58

What do you mean done?

01:57:00

I tried bringing them back to life

01:57:01

And it's all gone horribly wrong

01:57:03

They were dead?

01:57:07

You butt killed them?

01:57:10

Wait what?

01:57:11

Wait, they're dead?

01:57:13

I mean,

01:57:14

whoa,

01:57:16

man.

01:57:17

I need a drink.

01:57:23

Tamar is right.

01:57:24

Oh, it's kind of good.

01:57:26

Looks like he goes, you're absolutely useless.

01:57:29

Come on, we got to get out of here.

01:57:30

And he goes to grab you and pull you out of the laboratory.

01:57:35

Do you go with him?

01:57:37

Oh, sure, yeah.

01:57:39

All right, let's go.

01:57:41

And I give a wink to the shadows at Juckles and Squish.

01:57:44

It turns out they're in the wrong shadow.

01:57:46

I'm just waking at some random corner.

01:57:50

He drags you, Patches, out of the laboratory.

01:57:55

He slams the door shut.

01:57:58

You, Patches, see,

01:57:59

and you guys hear he locks the door behind him,

01:58:04

leaving you trapped in there with now,

01:58:08

as you guys realize and start counting,

01:58:10

You can see there are three of the boys you had shot earlier are now zombified, wandering,

01:58:17

rambling around in a laboratory.

01:58:20

And you, Patches, Tab Mazaran has a fist on your collar, and he's pulling you into the storage room.

01:58:29

And he says, I've got to stop this. We've got to stop this. Come on. You can be my assistant. You can help.

01:58:35

Hail the Jump Forth boys in the night they roam.

01:58:40

Solving woes with fire and explode.

01:58:44

With a clash and a crash and a twist of fate, explosions mark the hours.

01:58:49

Never late.

01:58:54

Never late.

01:58:55

Never late.

01:59:05

Everybody's sucking down on chili dogs.

01:59:09

Oh,

01:59:09

yeah.

01:59:10

Chili dogs.

01:59:12

Just getting down with some chili dogs.

01:59:16

Chili dog now.
