Don't Let Her Unpack Her Toothbrush
Season 7, Episode 46Hello and welcome to the Junk Fort Boys, an actual play RPG podcast set in the blades in the dark system and universe.
Featuring three gutter snipes who rose from the streets of duskfall to a junk fort in the sky,
play tarquish squish sunder um i still i will never remember my my intro uh something something
boom boom sauce and i think they're in a cauldron somewhere there but squish's fact for the day is
he actually doesn't like the nickname squish wow he just goes with it because someone called him
Hotman fumbled in the beginning, but the fumble ended up allowing Squish to burn off his bindings and begin blasting.
It's time for some relaxation, some breathing room, and some time to reflect before the final act comes into play.
you guys have let him not to tell you what to do or anything but what you have done in the past is
you let him loose eventually he comes home the next day you know a little hungover hat in his hand
have it you just can't drop he'll he'll come back around um but uh yes yeah i'm sure this time for
sure you won't find him on the street when he needs when he needs money and shelter he'll that's
when he'll come back uh yes so you uh wake up the next morning uh to a city still slightly smoldering
The night was busy with sirens and with people yelling as one of the nicest houses in the district burned.
You guys came home late from the party with Lady High Hill, whom you very thankfully gave her a nice bed.
And she goes, sees the three of you stumbling out of the bunk, the captain's corner, and goes,
and behind him he points behind him into the city and there's just like a ball of dissipating smoke
uh that's kind of slowing yeah yeah that happened and then you guys just came rushing home like
20 minutes later didn't really want to talk or anything just no everyone's uh okay out there
So Tawny appears on deck, face still kind of just covered in a light layer of ash, bald head and all.
also yeah i mean i looked out we were supposed to have a signal or something i was expecting i don't
know like a squawking bird or uh tawny you were safer where you were at because let me tell you
there was a black like tall monstrous looking thing with white eyes and it was terrifying you
didn't want to be a part of that we were running for our dear lives and to be fair i don't did you
guys expect that place to blow up like a day because i really didn't this time no i did not
bed you could work on your bedside man or tawny i know you're in training it's all right and then
you know you had you had your acid splash he just takes some like just like a little bit of like a
little rag and like you know kind of like wipes your face and for sad boy he looks around and he's
like um oh wait they gave this to me in training hold on uh and he pulls out a little lollipop
and hands it to you the safety pop that has like it's not a stick it's like a little loop uh
Remember, I'm trying to get into the Society of Universal Knowledge, their medical program.
And, you know, being the chief medical officer intern on such a ship as yours would really look good on a resume.
She had all the thorns, you know, on her, ripping her dress off, you know, nice looking, you know, was in the explosion.
he's probably going down to the kitchen to make breakfast that's just the sort of thing he would
do in the morning these are the sails um if you look over the side you can see some of the holes
we put into the ship some of them were on purpose oh some of them were intentional yes yes yes you
could probably see you could probably just make out by my bitchin canning leaning out the side
it's got racing stripes you probably can't see that from up here though um uh i can imagine they
must be very fast yes yeah it looks like it's tearing ass even though it's not moving at all
um the you can see our um you know the the little lady on the front um oh yes she's quite voluptuous
he does a lot of muttering and mumbling and grumbling in there um and the galley that isn't
promotion and you see there's also our bunk room sometimes we sleep in there and over there is a
laboratory that's where i do my various tinkerings and that's where i write my letters and um it's
really messy right now you're not going to want to go in there and then the captain's quarters is
No, I just, I really mean that, you know, for the four of you, keeping a whole ship so clean must be difficult.
Yeah, they do most of the cleaning and most of the stuff we don't want to do, which is a lot of the work.
ghouls must be referring to the ghouls i see yeah no they're they're real and they they do a lot of
work around here and uh have you met the captain yet the red captain no no well i you know patches
of course yeah he's not red he's gray oh that's right he's he is gray yeah he's wearing his jacket
westervale that's it yeah yeah they they did something together they wouldn't they were both
all right so yeah that's our boat this is where i live this is where this is where you know your
future husband is uh that's where he spends his time wow that's uh that's amazing uh i surprised
Do you mind if I get introduced? Oh, did captain the red captain, the big one? No, he's a, he's a
ghost. So captain's really more of a formal title that he doesn't really have anymore. It's kind of
like, you know, once you're a president, everyone calls you the president for the rest of your life,
even though you're not really the president. That's why we call him the captain. He used to
uh yeah i come out i come out with her breakfast oh wow oh squish oh this is beautiful what is this
Because usually when people say they want to have a conversation, it's to deliver bad news.
uh dd makes a complex series of uh of uh hand motions uh she's signing she's doing some sign
language to you and basically what it comes out to is she has this very long speech and she says
uh you should have you should tell her how you feel it's important to get these things off of
your chest lady high hill is not a very easy person to find and to talk to and if you don't
you know it's not too far from here but it's like you know just a bit ways yeah so you're you're
walking through a more um destitute part of town where's your destination uh there's this building
up on the left um i'm gonna go uh walk into it and uh it's probably not it looks abandoned but
there's a front door with a mailbox on it you know and it looks like a like a like a small apartment
you can see there's old chairs the chairs are like wooden and kind of just uncomfortable looking
this was not a place of luxury there's a small kitchen a small upstairs area as well yeah i uh
is there like a living room i can go sit in you're in the parlor yeah oh i'm probably yeah there's a
little old uh i'm looking around and i can find a little old uh uh a little uh little baking kit
he's got shoulder pads you said yeah big shoulder pads like big 80 shoulder pads like a big blazer
the world wasn't so gray and dingy and he wasn't a ghost it would be very vibrantly colored
And I looked at you and, well, I could see that deep down you were just a lonely, scared little child.
And, uh, I'm having very weird feelings, and I'm very conflicted, and I'm very angry and upset about things.
I don't know how, I don't know why, but I've been remembering some fun facts about me life recently.
And I had to break out of here because Papa, you know, left some hot dogs in the sink and told me,
life looking for it wanting to know trying to search for it what is it where is it where can
i find it how can i buy it what do i want well i know what's missing in my my other half literally
i know what i'm missing and and even though sometimes i miss nila and i miss well her passion
But also figure, literally, we probably, our essences combined could probably just kill people from the smell and the fumes of it.
I don't want to lose you or lose your friendship or kindness or the kindness of the other people on our ship, our crew.
but like yes i've never found to you yes but man it's been it's been very comforting to have you
even through my rages me drunkenness me me amnesia you don't ever question it and i appreciate it and
i will die before i let that happen to you i'm just feeling very weird right now because everyone
else has abandoned me except for me papa and me except for you and you know me crew me me cabin
captains too that's right they are captains the best captains i know the best captains i ever knew
But she sits on what she believes to be a bed, some sort of soft surface, and kind of pats the spot next to her.
I know our letters have been brief, but so meaningful to me and so comforting with this distance between us.
you have outside has anyone registered your boat with the port authority uh we did uh but not
entirely legally i think we stole the name of a boat called the cuddly crab um so yeah it's it's
under control but also we keep getting parking tickets that stupid intern was opposed that goes
allowance from my father but and dowry i presume and and a dowry it's just recently he's become very
nice nice yeah i don't really want that i i oh you know i not not right now anyway i mean it's
I mean, the last time we saw him, he was yelling at me that I couldn't eat the thing that he was presenting to us.
throw it on me on you but just time to bake i'm just i'm just thinking because in my mind i was
imagining he was rolling his eyes when i said all he does is yell at me so um just you weren't there
it hits her um the banana kind of like hits her in the back of the head i just it hurts right which
is annoying and then it kind of slaps too um as it hits her and the peel falls to the ground
no i still don't think you should you should be involved oh well darn that is rather not what i
wanted to hear uh can you tell me why i mean i i never thought there was anything wrong between us
and uh all right and i get on the boat and uh is everyone here is everyone who's who's everyone at
sitting there staring at the back of the chair and uh contemplating what's going to happen next
sure that's that's on me that's a bad one uh well hmm the turnip has turned you son of a bitch
on talking about the rights of the people and and owning the means of production oh your papa was a
i didn't really recognize him you look a lot like your papa now but back then you were just a
are uh and then the acid kind of starts eating through his ghost clothes and it eats up his his
coach and he goes so so what yeah yeah i kill your papa you kill me when does it end maybe my son will
And if somebody needs something, you know, like a toothbrush or something, you just go in the lost.
well who won who makes who writes the history books in the end i i feel like i feel like guys
fading out of existence this entire time um as he's having this conversation the holy water has
definitely damaged him um but he is inherently tied to this boat this boat is like his bonded
vehicle. So even though he's fading away and kind of disappearing, he is still alive in the sense
that he has a spirit tied to this ghost. So it's just burning him and hurting him. Yeah, no, it
i really wanted to hear about upskirt kurt no you were watching bob's burger and they're talking
about upskirt kurt so i stole from that like 10 minutes before the show started i didn't remember
