Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Annemarieville City Heroes. Hey. Hey, I am your Game Mustard, Alex Crater, and I am here playing games with me is Shannon Pointing Maternity. Yay.

Yup. Hi, dude. I never know. To say we always look at you like I'm supposed to say something so profound.

We, as a Grab Gal, we have George. Hello. As query we have Jake, peace in the Middle East. Never gonna happen.

Alright, let's wish. I'm wishing for you. Your wish are futile. Fuck you, your wishes.

I realize wishing does nothing and our optimism is misplaced in this garbage world, but Alex can I believe in something? Bitches get witches. Bitches get witches. Bitches get witches.

Bitches get witches. That's true. Should I have that? I want that as a shirt.

My next Halloween shirt is witches get bitches. Like a witch with a big old titty baby next to her. I used that big titty baby. I was tired, too.

I meant babe. But you mean no, you literally meant baby. Like a baby with a u-drag. It's like one of those fucking old-ass green cartoon-ass witches with a nose.

She's got like a big titty. A six-month old baby with lots of yachos. A six-month old baby with lots of yachos. Witches get bitches.

That makes no sense. You did it, Game Monster. Alright, let me game most of this. That's the new thing.

I hope I remember it. No. I want to write it down. Write it down.

So it's the end of the book. So in our next episode we're like, what is it? At least you put fanart on the Facebook page. If your bitches get bitches.

Should I? No, definitely not. If anybody else has time to draw that. No, don't.

If anyone thinks they have enough time and they like to draw a baby with full breasts. So many people have that time. No, they really don't. If anyone thinks they have enough time and they like to draw a baby with full breasts.

So many people have that time. No, they really don't. They just don't even have to have the idea. You just have to have the idea.

You just have to have the idea and let people buy it. Well, you have to have a spunk in a hotspot. Yeah, that'll probably be the most popular thing we ever do is get bitches. This is fucking house, hocus pocus, ass witch.

Not just baby. Hot. We need to move. Okay.

Other things. Who wants to say what happened last time? Who said it last time? I can say it last time.

Okay. So I am playing a character that is in the shadows and I've been stalking every day. I've been stalking everyone on the super team for the last game session. They decided to follow up on a tip from the police to stop a drug sale exchange, chain off farmers market warehouse.

Bizarre. Obscurity turned invisible, stole an expensive car and crashed it. Gravi gal picked up a big pile of what was it? Methamphetamine.

What was it called? Chanwale. So it went and threw it into the lake. And then we met a guy named Dark Blades with swords on his hands and a ghost crime boss.

And where we were dropping off is all of us idle on his merchants. Or merchants, mercenaries, not merchants. It was not a literal farmers market. Their eyes all exploded and they died.

Except for the ones that were already knocked out. And Dark Blades tried to hook up to grab it again. Dark Blades. We're doing a Star Wars tie in.

Gady is number one. In the Superhero universe you might be able to drain capes. You'll see his cape, couple of the floor your bed soon enough. That sounds good.

Dark Blades. Dark Blades. What are you doing? Dark Blades.

That was a good voice. I'm just getting witches. Witches. Witches.

My wishes are witches. Witches. Okay. All right.

It's enough. Okay. So y'all are in the warehouse. Dark Blades has just vanished into the ceiling.

And queeriest of the shadows never having introduced. Of security has had one glimpse of queerity at this point when she was dying behind the box and we're getting shot at. Pretty much. So right now it's grab gal.

And security. Standing there. Standing there. We're going to round up the knocked out ones and palm up.

The other dead ones are going to pile? Not only the police to draw the chalk lines I guess. That's what they do, right? You're the police liaison.

What are we doing? What are we doing? This day is on what we do. We've heard 40 people.

We didn't murder. I tried to. Have we contacted the police? We know they're on their way.

We're just assuming they magically know to show up. You have a set that you can call them. Okay. I will call them.

I will call them. I'm going to start pulling masks off the people. The ones with big old bloody eyes. They have not had eyelids.

They do. Do you have gloves? Yeah. They think.

Oh, it's like, okay, you do have any gloves. Okay. I would just say because you don't want to get heavy. That's what we're wearing about in this game.

Okay. I'm just saying. One of these dudes. These are criminals, man.

My favorite Iron Man is the one who gets heavy. He has a lot of oranges. He's got to go to the doctor and explore street in options. He's like an insurance won't cover someone but it will go to the other part.

He's just like a. Why is everything scurvy to you? Every disease is scary. I've been influenced by it.

What the fuck is the TBS doctor? What's his name? Doctor. I was watching Doctor who he was like, take all these multiple vitamins.

Here's a new diet for you. It's a sweet sensation. No. What's the doctor eyes?

Like the actual doctor. Yeah. I would like to see Doctor who was like, take all these multibons. Why is that southern?

All right. Okay. Doctor Philipo. Doctor.

Doctor Philipo. Traveler through space and time. How does that make you fail? We're not going to get a lot done.

I'm just going to tell you. Just t-shirt ideas. I'm just going to give you a t-shirt chat. You got to have your Philipo.

Which is good pictures. Oh man. Usually in these two record episodes, the second episode is bad because everybody's drinking. Nobody has been drinking.

No excuses. Yeah, there's none. We're just dumb. We're just dumb people.

We're just dumb people. I could never drink. What? He must just do it with a villain people.

Oh, sometimes but also the drugs and drug people do it. Oh. Like when I was doing dark waves. Right.

Gotcha. Just saying this, this. Shabangang. Right.

Yep. This comedy penguin. We can still drink when we're done. Right.

Let's just, let's just name drop on the podcast. Does anybody help anybody help anyone? Anyone listen to cereal? Oh, that's a big name drop.

James, you got any one of them? All right. So you just come out season two. You want to name drop that one?

Sorry. Oh, I did it. That's a big name drop. Blacklist table reads.

They're pretty good. Sure. The dollop. I like that.

No, that's a good one. Like Nerdist. Is all right. We are basically doing the Nerdist right now.

We don't have any. Yeah. Basically we're just testing like a Nerdist right now. That's a pretty good format.

I don't mind it. We're just dumb. He doesn't like us. I don't know.

He doesn't like us. I don't know. I'm really they're calling. He's sick of money.

He's calling to you. He's calling it out. He's okay. Okay.

Okay, all right. All right. Grieri, what are you doing? Same way.

All right. You listen to the whole conversation. That's fine. Not about boobs, but about dark blades and how we left, and then doing the cleanup.

Can I still trace him from here? Can you see the background? So he's not smart. He hasn't found me out yet.

He hasn't found your track. And while they're knocking off people's and taking off masks, I'm not trying to get in a position where I can take photos of all the people that are unmasked. Yeah. But that's going to take a while.

So I want to be somewhat hidden with the cop shop. So I can make it exit. OK. Cool.

All right. So you're doing that? Are any of the bad guys wearing armor? Armor?

Like, that's a certain. There's a couple of the street-level dudes that are wearing just the real super-based body armor. No, take it. This is a D2D.

OK. You take the body armor. Yes. Write it on your character sheet.

It gives you a plus 2 to AC suite. What's your back up? OK. So he's pillaging the bodies.

There's a treasure chest. We don't have anything in our tower. We've got to collect stuff. We're hoping to find a face or a nice wall to walk you.

Let's go for the big key or the rest of the dungeon, all right? Well, you only found the compass. Well, these are points to something. Wow.

Bird on your own game mustard. OK. All right. So you do all that.

The police eventually show up. Yeah. And they're like, wow, what happened here? Guys.

I got really drunk like you guys. Where are they? We need to talk about that. You threw them into the river?

Yeah. Do we have any scuba teams? Well, I'll get some police ones out there. I guess we'll try to recover some of them.

Yeah. Did you have no choice but to throw them in the river? I didn't have to let people take them. Fair enough.

All right. OK. All right. So the police start doing their work there.

They're taking away the ones that are tied up in ambulances and corners and stuff are taking the bodies. I think the photos are copy of the cops. Thank you. Your microfilm thing.

Well, I've had my phone. Oh. Remember those things that spy movies are really tiny cameras? It's really cool.

Those are really cool. They are really cool. That's the funny thing about smartphones is they make all spy get really silly because it's like, oh, if you've got a camera, that's good. This thing also plays a sound.

What does that mean to you? It was a pen or a black dart. But you have to pay with it. Well, when you're taking the picture, it has an illumination screen.

So if you're hiding, your face is all lit up. That's true. So look, guys, unless you're blocking the screen, but then you can't see what you're taking pictures of. Or if I just put something on my mask that's not reflective.

And you have the phone under your mask? Just looking into my arm pit and holding under my shirt. OK. So the police do all that.

What are you guys going to hang around with the police to that or what? I'll help where. I mean, where it helps me. All right, that happens.

It happens. So where the people who are from the different parts of town, part of the millions. What do you mean? Oh, they were like the street level drugs.

So like the dealers, I guess. Yeah, they were like the street dealers. The dudes in white masks are like the high level dudes. They're not on the street dealing drugs.

They're the ones selling the drugs to the smaller gangs. And the smaller gangs are distributing it, and then giving payments to the top guys. But where are those people? Yeah, a couple of millions.

That's where you got the body numbers from one of the street level, guys. Yep. All right, so that all happens. But then everything's clearing out.

It's so pleasing. But y'all aren't needed anymore. OK. So she was kind of asking about the driver.

Before. Yeah. So I see the driver anywhere? No.

Did I see the driver at all again after getting in the car? You did not. Interesting. OK.

All right. Big trucks. Yeah, a couple of them. Well, I mean, the cops are kind of like the taking control of them.

But yeah, they're still there. They're just truck belong to you. Who are you asking? Like, a police officer.

I was like, I don't know. We need to trace it. If you want to call us in a couple of days and ask us what we found, we can't. We need to trace it.

We need to run the plates and stuff. We'll be on production. Yeah. Are you talking like police action?

Yeah. Yeah. After it's cleared and searched and everything. But you want me to notify you when it's up for police action?

Yeah. We're on truck. Truck's kind of crappy. This is a Swiss ass car in the wall.

It's destroyed. Not as much of boxes. Yeah, it's a bunch of boxes. It's still an operable.

Oh, it's just I imagine like airbags going off. No. It's gonna be like 14 times. You know the truck isn't like a pickup truck.

It's like one of those like bikes in it. It could. And then we could do cool. It's like a drive down the delivery truck.

We drive down the highway and the bus. Come on, the bikes in the back. We're around like action movie. That's legitimately a decent idea though.

It's pretty cool. It's pretty fun. Cool. What?

Adam Savage tested it on a vis-busters. It works. If we turn into like the turtles mobiels and the new movie coming out. I'm like, have it launching out some.

You lost him. You had him for a second. Just saying there's things we could do with this truck. I'll let you know when it's on the section.

Thank you. Okay. I'm going to offer to help coordinate the recovery team. We've got to worry about it.

I know kind of where they landed. Right. I don't want to waste any time on scoping the door. I didn't mean right then.

I was offering my... As long as it doesn't take any more actual game time. Oh, fine. Yes.

Don't worry about it. Okay. All right. Where you guys doing it now?

Yes. Everything at the warehouse. Pretty wrapped up. Right back to the base.

So I will water my clinics. Got into the base? Uh, yes. Yes, that's good.

That's an ample soup, that's fine. I'm hungry after all that. Gravity in that. All that gravity.

All that gravity. Shit. Where are you? All the mech home after everything is all done.

Okay. Stick in their base. You can sneak in and sleep in one of their bedrooms. If they're going to bed, yes.

If not, I'm going to sleep with anything. I just walked in. Okay. Yeah.

You can, you can, you can sleep with their beds. Janet sees you. And she's like, you know, she seems more inquisitive than Jeanette. They know you're here.

Okay. All right. You can elect them if you'd like. I figured they would prefer a day of rest.

Or if we start tomorrow. Okay. All right. If you have any questions you're welcome back.

Okay. Thank you. All right. Janet wakes you up.

What's security? Actually, there's a strange person sleeping in one of the other. I think they might be homeless. I think we need to fix the doors or you need to actually make like a public homeless or welcome policy.

It's like, because you never told me. It's cool if you were doing it. But I just don't know. But they got like these big old bag of pants and a gross sweater and like, I think they're homeless.

They didn't come with a shopping cart. So I don't think they have much. I should have come with a shopping cart. But yeah.

So if you want to do that. Okay. I'll check it out. Okay.

You go to the spare room. I'm going to bring a pot and plant with me. Okay. All right.

Okay. All right. Query. You're in room.

Scurity comes in with a pot and plant. Hi. Hi. Hello.

I should introduce myself. Hi. Hi. Query.

If you're asking me questions, you might have nothing for a chance. Do you need a home? No. Just a way to sleep.

I can go to a hotel. But I figured you've got a big empty base with nothing in it. You're not doing anything with it. No one would be bothered.

That's true. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. You're very tired.

And you're playing. Oh, lovely. I know that kind of hold it up. It's like, okay.

What is it? It's some weird ass exotic thing. You're not sure. It's not anything you've seen before.

I'm going to leave for his leaves. Okay. I'm going to put my mask. Yeah.

It's like an older black woman. And I'm just going to rip a piece off of the plant and taste it. Okay. It's bitter.

Not familiar with what I'm for. Oh, that's a shame. It's lovely. I'll tell you what.

I have a few things to tell to you and your companion about. Maybe the rest of your super team at Face. But maybe tomorrow we'll do this. Oh, OK.

I have some work to do. All right. Well, I think, if you need anything, just ask Janet. That's what we do here.

a lot but she still does when we yes things. I'm really not bothered. Okay. I'm gonna put my mask back on and just be I'm going to do some research on the ghost that you met this afternoon.

Oh yeah. Yes I figured you might want to know a thing or two. Yeah. So she'll be hanging out.

Now I'm gonna have nightmares. Oh you should do that. I'm gonna talk about your mask. Thank you.

I'm going to change the picture. I'm going to change the picture of it to like a picture of an orca like jumping out of the water. And then I'm gonna reach into my pocket and I'm gonna pull out some sleepy time tea. I just offered the obscurity.

This always helps me get to sleep if you're having difficulty. Thank you. The one pocket. Yeah.

Mega pocket. Mega pocket. Okay. It's full of tea.

I'm gonna put my mask back on the back. Okay. All right. Off we add evening.

Girls night out. All the boys are away and the girls was way. Terrible song. That's a good song.

Okay. Anyway. What is it? I like the song.

I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. Okay.

I'm gonna take my tea and I'm gonna find grab girl and just say, hey there's someone who in the base kind of like you did show up just like that. That's how it goes around here. Did you just end up this time or grab? Just gotta show up and select the event.

Okay. It's called a. It's called a. Yeah.

People just kind of show up. I figured no one would care or notice. I was right. Right.

Right. All right. All right. The next morning comes.

What did I learn from doing research that night? On what? On boss. I don't learn like anything more concrete than you know she's an urban legend or.

Some people like somebody. Somebody like an internet source that you've known to side on either absolutely insane or right on the money but nobody believes them. Exactly. You come across something they wrote about.

About Mase de Leon about like this birth certificate. This person that came over way back in like like from Irish settlers during the famine like way way back like when you know why the police force was Irish but nobody liked them. Okay. That kind of shit.

And there's like like very spurious evidence that there's this woman that died back then and that's who they think it is. Okay. So Irish immigrant from way back. Okay.

So I'm gonna um while there while the night's there. Yeah. Upload everything I know about boss. I want to my own personal spy website that's open to the public.

Yeah. And then just upload every photo I've got except for the police. Okay. And just say these are all the people that were associated with her.

This is the drug they were selling at this time at this gate. I can verify that I was there and it's I put everything every bus I make on in public. Okay. Are you also posting pictures of dark lights?

Yeah. Okay. All right. But you don't take a picture of grabbing all video.

I took a picture of grab. Well, but you didn't know folks she was invisible. Yeah. All right.

Okay. So you're saying I'm associated with? No, no. I make note to say that grab gal and obscurity stopped the crime.

Right. And they were heroic. Okay. So like they were unrelated they were unrelated to the deaths that occurred on site.

So you're being like a really weird reporter. Kind of. It's where I'm pulling anyone that might be out in the shadows. Right.

The shadows forcibly. Okay. I see. I'm trying to get them pissed off.

Okay. Okay. I got you. Okay.

Um. All right. So it's the next morning. Um Janet the the night shift was cooking everybody breakfast.

Um, I hope. Oh yeah. Sure. All right.

So uh, query and Janet are making breakfast. Um, uh, obscurity and gravity to go to breakfast. Yeah. Okay.

When you go to breakfast, uh, dark lights also comes out for breakfast. He's like, oh, I just I crash into the mind. Not at all. It's a thing Janet.

No. She's like, you can't even with whatever. Here's some eggs. That's the thing.

We'll just show up and sleep in your face. It's having three time now. Is anybody in mind? Okay.

Okay. So you guys all eat breakfast together? So coffee. Yeah.

I'm not bad on a t-shirt. What? Kiwi will dark blades eat an egg. What?

Why? It didn't scream yet. You can eat them off the end of a giant sword. It would sell more if it was actually Wolverine.

But I guess I can draw my shitty Wolverine rib-off eating scram eggs if you want. Oh boy. How would I would scramble eggs for them while it reads claws? Oh, you're right.

Not well. Dark blades only has one sort of knee charm. So that's more like a shovel. Maybe Wolverine has like accessories he puts on his claws for eating purposes.

Like a, you know, like a fry shovel or? Yeah. Of course. Of course.

A large soda bucket handler. So he puts a poking holes in it. Maybe puts like a razor to the tips or something. Yeah.

Training dips. So many fights people don't hurt them. Like when you fight. Why don't we know what Wolverine's wonderful accessories he is?

Yeah. He has a ring he puts on one. He gets married does he put on his... You have to imagine that in like formal events he dresses him up.

Right. I know. But if somewhere then... Rip it.

Lace. If he's like a fancy. He's gotta show up to him. He can't have undressed claws.

You think he ever goes to the fair and has like a face painter's penis claws? Oh fuck yeah he does. Like shink him out and then like if he's like doodles and head tattoos on his claws. Any more fun with me?

Because last time I have plus one fate. Four of eight points total. Oh okay. Just throwing it out there.

All right. So a couple of days go by unless you guys do stuff. I need to ask them questions. Okay go for it.

I'm gonna introduce myself to James. Okay. Same exactly like like I reminded it. We should start using superheroes.

Okay. Might be difficult to introduce myself to grab gal. Yeah. Exact same shmeal I gave like down to the word to the security.

I'm also going to hand out a business card to each one with my name on it but warn them that if they do not take it by the sides of their fingerprint I'm here in town to ask you a few questions. Specifically about Drake and why you seem to do all his work for him. He gave us a base. I'm here what circumstances?

Pre-us team left right. Yeah. So Drake was tied into the previous franchise of the Unmanned Piers in town? Interesting.

Very interesting. Uh, James like no. That's not no. That's not what happened at all.

I worked for the Unmanned Piers. They paid my salary for six months. They gave you the base because they had a plot of the city. Drake offered you a deal completely unconnected from the Unmanned Piers.

As a representative from the Unmanned Piers I have to say there is no connection to the Unmanned Piers and Drake Industries. That's good to hear right? That's good. There is connection with them at Drake Industries.

I'm fully aware. In fact you guys signed a contract. I didn't sign anything. Oh no.

The other one's dead. That's how the salt. Yeah, the salt signed a contract with Drake Industries and he had your weird incompetent lawyer in here. That's right.

Looking over paperwork for a while. With all due respect I don't come to think we're a high-level you. She should be chairperson. She I am a receptionist.

The night receptionist to be for the exact. You know what to do. In fact my shift is over. In about an hour in Jeanette Consid.

What does she know? Uh, she knows how to answer the phones. She knows how to keep the log okay. And she knows the password of the supercomputer.

They're super computer. Yeah. Unmanned Piers? Uh, yeah it's not Unmanned Piers.

It's linked up to the a couple of other major databases. Yeah. Interesting. Well, simply put.

I believe that Drake is dangerous and I believe you need to be well aware how much danger you are in because you seem to be winging it. Hey, yes. I'm pretty sure I've only done police work. Yeah, I don't really deal with Drake.
