Okay I got Jake. Hi there. I've got Shannon. Now what were you laughing about?
What was the funny? Crater Crater. I know it's been doing like a summer crout monster. Okay well and we got somebody new here today because Kyle and D still not here for various reasons.
So we have another person filling in and his name is Mark. Hey girlfriend. You might know him as also a guy from DCW. Like from where Jake is.
Hi girlfriend. So yeah I'm a game mustard and these are players. I'll have Mark explain a character when he comes in. Yeah but what we will have is we'll have somebody from who was here last time that said it sounded weird.
From who was here. I'll have someone from who was here. From whence the last podcast had a roughly ended. What from the last podcast to Ben Hathadon?
Ben Hathadon. So Ben Hathadon is here. So someone's gonna have to recap what happened last time. Who wants to do it?
Anybody volunteer? You guys always fight over this right? No people just don't say anything. I have to pick somebody but it looks like James to say.
From what I remember. Yeah we can help fill in the blinds. We got asked by the police to intercept a drug deal. That was that was one of the things that happened.
Chad Riley. Yeah Chad Riley. The name. Chad Riley.
Oh Chad Wally. Okay. Yeah. Chad Riley.
Okay. Chad Riley. Yep. Anyway.
Right. Yeah. We can keep moving. Yeah.
We can keep going. We followed that lead and saved the day. Met dark blades. Who is a very Republican Batman.
Awesome. And a terrifying ghost. Ghost crime boss. Yeah.
What's her name? Boss I don't want. Yes boss I don't want to thank you. I threw a bunch of the drugs in the lake.
That was a good time. Then we went back to base. Yep. And my character introduced himself.
Yes. And talked to you about how you're kind of a mess. And Shannon got or up here to get really good about it. Which is fine.
That's the right I was being a jerk. But also I told you maybe Drake is not a nice person. Oh yes. And that you maybe should be checking up to him.
Yeah. Drake is sour grapes. These headlines. Journalism.
Sour grapes. Where did you get that from? He's not even using it right. He might be sour grapes.
Then what happened? Dark blades was also there. Yes. He left breakfast.
Everybody had breakfast because everyone just kept waking up in your place. That's how it works. Everyone just showed up at your face. It was sleeping there.
Does Mark know this yet? No. I listened to the I've listened to like most of them but I haven't called up. I said not to listen so I could be surprised as a character as well.
Right. Then I traced dark blades back to his hideout. Yes. Looked in all of his stuff.
Took a bunch of pictures because I'm a super spy. Very spooky. And then I called back to the base to tell you to look into a local professor who may have linked to a crime thing, secret society, some sort of thing. Told you you maybe want to investigate it.
And then I hung up the phone. And then what happened? Then it turned out to be me. So dark blades is new best friend.
It's now hunting gravity gal for some reason. And I believe you looked over at Shannon and Trump. Yeah. News to me.
Okay. So we we pick up there. So what we'll do is after after GraphGal gets the news that for some reason dark blades was looking into her and something about a secret society, we will cut to Death Boy, which is the name of the character. Death Boy.
You're walking through a residential neighborhood in the city of Amberville. Probably just you're like a wanderer, right? I walk in the city and you notice in the distance there's a large fire. Okay.
It's in a neighborhood. Does it look like it's a like a large fire like it's coming from something and it's flaming a big or just like it looks like the house is on fire. Yes. I'll go check it out.
Okay. You start approaching the house and you see off in the distance there are a number of figures running off into the shadows. Scared? Do they look scared?
No, they look like they're fleeing. They look like they're a little too far for you to catch, but they look like they're running away. All right. Do I hear any people inside the house?
Do you have a perception? No, I do not. Or notice. Do you have notice?
Nope. Okay. How are you going to like? Okay.
So roll blank notice. Just roll your dice. Like notice? Yeah.
Okay. So I'm sorry. I'm doing this. So yeah, just roll your dice.
Negative. All right. Hey, you're unsure that fire is really loud, but you do see there is a corpse on the lawn. A corpse?
All right. Does it look freshly dead? Yes. It looks like a tie in the last hour.
All right. I'm going to take a coin on my pocket. Yeah. I'm going to go up to him.
I'm going to put it on his tongue. I'm going to sit on his ears like go to this go to room five, seven and you need the food there and then I'll come back for you later. Okay. I'm going to go.
I'm going to go in the house and see if there's anything there. Okay. You go into the house. You notice there's like a lot of blood and you do see movement off in some of the flames.
There's like somebody trying to crawl out. All right. Um, how far away? So from the plant, how far away is it from me?
Um, there I would say there about like five yards away. Okay. I'm just going to walk towards him. Okay.
And I'm going to be like, Hey dude, calm down. Okay, bro. I'm just here to help you. All right.
The body's trying to climb out of the fire like, help me. All right. Well, I'll run. I'll I'm going to run to him and I'm going to try to grab him out.
Okay. He gladly takes your health and that'll mount. I don't mean is there anybody else in here? Uh, no, you don't see anybody.
You see there's kind of a mess with like broken bottles and weird goop on the floor, but it's all starting on fire. Is it like like normal stuff or just like you said weird. It looks like there was has been a fight here. There's like walls knocked over and like it looks like people have been fighting here.
All right. I'm going to help out a lot. I'm going to help out a lot of that is. Is there a phone here?
So you can call fire? Are you asking him? Yeah. He's like, I don't know if it's not my house.
What are you doing here? I was trying to stop a murder. Well, you failed. I know he's dead there.
I'm aware. Sorry that you got hurt, man. I know I was trying to hurt him. No, I've never met these people before.
Neither of I. So I'm just like, dude, I don't know if you do. This isn't here. You know, I'm not saying that he has my car.
He says, take me to the base. Look, he gives you an address. He's like, take me there. I need your help to get there.
I walk. I don't drive. So it's going to take a while. Okay.
And I will, I'll help him out. Like slump down. I'll start walking to the base. Okay.
All right. Before I'm also going to, can I also go over to the I'm going to go to the other house and out of the door? Okay. Like hey, my call on someone's is a fire.
We called we called we heard the commotion. Someone's dead. There was a robot monkey. There's a robot monkey?
Yeah. Man, that's awesome. No, it's not. It was horrifying.
We got him made if he wasn't killing people. The robot monkey's dead dude. But if he wasn't killing people, I got to get this guy to a base. Go.
All right. See you. Bye. All right.
So back at the base. Graph gal and obscurity. What are you all doing? I'm asking you what's up.
Maybe you don't know. I noticed anybody following me around. But why might they want to follow you around? Because I'm a superhero.
But we all have fun. No, maybe they want my powers. We'll find them interesting. I have in quotations in my notes in the society.
Okay. Is that something that was said? Like an actual thing or is that just me writing notes? That's something that query heads up.
That was in Dark Blades notes. Yes. It was in Dark Blades notes. Okay.
I am going to look up in the our system. Okay. See if I can find anything under the society. Nothing that specific.
No. No. Okay. Okay.
Query. What are you up to? I am dark blade the base. Yes.
Dark blade the dark place. Well, you said this is just like a drop spot. So there wasn't a ton to find. Yeah, no.
There's like a bunch of costumes and extra blades and his notes. I took my pictures. I'm going to take off and start trailing those weird dweig cops. Okay.
You get an alert on your phone. Okay. There's stuff blowing up all over social means. Okay.
Social means. Yeah. Blowing up all over the social means. Apparently somebody has put a bunch of pictures of Dark Blades being murdered.
A bunch of pics of DV being dead? Yeah. Yeah. Dead.
Yeah. There's like a bunch of pictures of him being beaten up by a guy named Golden Arrow and being stabbed by a robot monkey and then being tossed into a fire. Do I know any of the names? Um, the, the appearance taking credit for it is known as Knox and you've heard that before.
Yeah. You've heard that name before. Like nothing other than the name. Um, not too much.
You know that Knox is like supposedly like an up and comer. Okay. Well, gotcha. Like you heard Buzz around and so Golden Arrow and Knox.
I know for sure. Yeah. Anyone else was the robot monkey mentioned at all? Um, there was a little bit of mentioned the robot monkey.
You'd have to do like a research figure it out. Okay. Um, well, I can, I haven't investigate. Okay.
Um, I'm just going to get first get out of Dark Blades Um, and then spend a little time to investigate who these people are where they might be going next. Okay. Because I don't want to get in the middle of a crime scene investigation. Right.
Okay. Um, so can I check on an investigate to see if I can get an idea of where they're going based on social media stuff based on where Knox took credit for it? So you're trying to get a, a read on these guys through a investigate. Yeah.
Okay. But you basically by using social media. Right. Nice.
Uh, I got one. Okay. Um, you're able to find out a little bit, you kind of go down a rabbit hole because you find out a little bit about the robot monkey. Mm-hmm.
Uh, his name is Robonobo. Robonobo. Um, and he is wanted by a bunch of different corporations because he has experimental technology in him. Oh.
Like the person that built him is missing and like a bunch of corporations want to get their hands on him and take him apart basically. Uh, so it's basically Knox is on the run with an experimental robot monkey and Golden Arrow is helping him. Yeah. Okay.
It's kind of like the jet, the, the vibe you're getting. You don't know, you get nothing about Golden Arrow except his name is mentioned a couple places. Right. And Knox is apparently like making waves of somebody who's trying to be an up and coming villain.
Okay. Um, what do we know of villain teams in this town? In this town? Yeah.
Um, there's not a whole lot of buzz. Uh, you just know about like the game that you guys encountered before, but like supervillain teams that are like established, none really in this town. Is there like a hangout that we know of or a den or safe house or something? Uh, not in this town.
No. All right. Um, well, I guess the best I can do is maybe try to tap into the police feed, uh, see if I can tap into Drake's feed and just listen to see if I can get an idea of where they are. Okay.
Dark Blades is not, you know, you know, you want to go on a long time ago and based on the track around his body, I'm sure he knows where his corpse is. That doesn't really do. Right. Uh, you, you do hear word of a fire, but that's about it.
Okay. Um, yeah. I'm just gonna hang back and listen until I hear anything new about them. Okay.
I don't want to get the team tied up in anything if we can't do anything about you. Okay. All right. So you guys are just hanging out with the base for now?
Yes. All right. Eventually, a kid, how old did you care to look? 12?
12. 12 year old comes into the base with a bleeding to death and burnt half to the dark blades over his shoulder. Oh, dear. The dark blades is like, I'm dying.
And then he passes out. Do they have like a healing tank? Like a dragon falls in the show? No, put it in a healer chamber.
Yeah. Uh, you have a med babe and nobody that can operate. Well, we can sure try calls. We're gonna call Drake.
Is that what you call? Is that what you're going to do? I don't know what other medical I'm just asking if that's what you're doing. I'm thinking.
I just want to know what your point of action is. You got to close this medical place. You got to phone? Yes.
Okay. I'm gonna call 911. Okay. I'm like, I got a burnt guy.
Okay. They're like, all right. Give us your address. I'm going to get me.
Okay. And then like a name is on the way. All right. Okay.
So, so who are you following? Trying to help him. I don't know. I'm not following.
I gave him. It's another phone. So they called it not take very long. No, I didn't know.
Bring him to the med babe. Yeah. Are you gonna call Drake or not? No.
Okay. So you bring him to the med bay. All right. What are you doing?
I'm gonna be like, uh, so yeah, you got him. Uh, if you give me up on Twitter, I can pay his bills and all that for the last one. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. I'm worried about. Yeah. DB for real.
Yeah. He'll always well. I like, well, if you're I look well, I'm wearing a Halloween skull mask and my skin look purplish white and I bluish long hair for a number four or four. No, it's number four.
All right. Thank you. I'll be like, oh, sweet. Are you okay?
I'm cool. I'm cool. I wear your parents. I don't worry about it.
No, no, no, really. They're in hell. Oh, oh, oh, well, a version of hell to technically, but I'm good. Like, how can I be serial?
I'm sure we do. Who's on? Oh, why do we eat early? Let's just say I'm gonna help him.
Mind Janet. All right. They introduce you to Jan. I was like, uh, it's not Halloween.
It's like, it's just after Christmas. Oh, okay. That doesn't sound very here. We.
Yeah, I'm really not, but I'm trying. Okay. I'm not bad or anything. I'm just I'm just eating wearing a skull mask.
His name is death. But he just might have done this horrible. Did you see dark blades? That doesn't sound very here.
We either. Honestly, if I'm telling you the truth, would you find him some cereal? Fine. I'll find him.
All right. G5, two, some cereal. You got him, whipped cream? Yeah.
No, it's cool. The whipped cream melts him for like a milk. Yeah, that sounds really, that sounds not great. It's delicious.
Give it a try. I'm not gonna do that. Oh, you don't. You never literally tried it.
I'll be all right. All right. Okay. So.
Coaster drama. Coaster. If there was a coaster that fell down, everyone is like gingerly looking at it. You motherfucker.
Okay. All right then. So, um, the ambulance eventually comes. And they're like, where's the bird guy?
I'll show him to the medical bay. Okay. They're like, wow, you have really good equipment here. You can train him here.
That's probably a good idea because it's taken to the hospital. Just gonna waste time. All right. And then they, they treat him there.
Awesome. The paramedics do. Um, query. Yes.
Um, you get buzz in from a 911 feed that paramedics went to a superhero base and they were treating somebody at the base because they have facilities there. Hard start, please, right. Okay. I'll make my way back.
All right. You make your way back. There's a 12 year old eating, uh, coke. Ryan, Chris, Pete's out of a, yeah.
Have you made my friend? Uh, yeah. Thankfully. Good.
You know each other? Yeah, we go back a long way. Like to help. No, I'm gonna change my masks.
That's two hands shaking. Okay. Okay. So you're all there at the base.
Can you show me to the birt man? Sure. All right. Either the, the EMTs are patching him up.
He's completely unconscious and burnt. Okay. I'm just gonna hang back and watch. Okay.
He seems messed up. If it helps you, Maddox, you're stabbed by a robot monkey. That doesn't, okay. Thank you.
I'm not gonna argue. Did you hear about that too? No. I was at a burning building.
I found him. Oh, here's a dead guy. Interesting. Game of coin.
There's always a dead guy. There's a lot. There's always a dead guy. I'll get him back.
I know you won't buddy. All right. So does anybody else do anything this night? Um, when they all leave dark waves?
Yeah. I'm just gonna take pictures of him. I'm gonna search his pockets. I'm gonna, I'm gonna just take every part of his body.
Um, yeah. It's, it, he seems like, he's got a weird one of them. They got that off. Um, he was hit pretty bad with a bottle and it seems stabbed in the side and yeah.
But like, it doesn't, nothing implies that it was superhero stuff that did this or. Oh, no. It seems like he was a superhero fight. Okay.
It seems like he got the way you put it. Sounds like he hit a bar fight and got like real fucked up. You got hit with a bottle. He got stabbed.
I'm recounting the event that happened. It was a superhero fight. All right. But these are the accounts that happened.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Okay. Listen to it on the last week. Where, where they attempted to kill their blades and use the fucking bottle.
Come on. You have a robot monkey. You have a banana. So I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna pour over his body and see if I can find and see if I can pick up any traces or anything or he has a picture of a guy that's kind of burnt because it was in the fire.
Sure. Um, but he has like a picture of a guy. Just any guy? Can I use space recognition to?
Yeah. It's a guy who is now reported dead on the news just breaking the phone of a lawn of a burning house. Oh, okay. All right.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can I, can I recognize the name of the guy?
Um, it's, it's an attorney. Okay. It's like a, it's like a defense, like one of the states defense attorneys, like he works for the DA's office. Can I go back to dark blade space and look up and see what he has on this guy?
Okay. All right. So you're going there. Yeah.
Anybody else doing anything that night? Anything important? No. Not that I'm.
Okay. All right. So in dark blade space, you basically find that he suspects him of having connections with the society. Hmm.
What else points to the society in his notes? Uh, mysterious figures, mysterious activity, and hunting down certain heroes, one of which is grabout. Do I have enough to put the pieces together? Uh, what pieces are you thinking?
Um, trying to figure out where, who, who I could look into. Um, it seems like a lot of his stuff is surrounded around like, there's a lot of efforts trying to find and capture grabout. Okay. Oh, the society.
Gotcha. Not dark blades, the society. Okay. And dark blades is not interested in that.
He's tracing the society itself. Yeah. Well, yeah. He's basically, like, it seems like the reason he's here is because they're searching for grabout or like, finding, trying to find a way to capture grabout secretly.
And he, like that's his theory, and that he is here to intercept the society when they try it. Oh, shit. Okay. So yeah, James is in a lot of trouble.
Right. And dark blades was basically trying to intercept on the society. Okay. I mean, I'm gonna hold on to that for the minute and then go back to base and wait to see if dark blades wakes up in the morning.
Okay. I mean, I'm not sure what else to do on this one. Follow the record on the little tricks guys around a little bit. Some more.
Okay. All right. So, um, a couple of days are gonna pass. Uh, in those days, what are you doing death boy?
Um, I will be checking out the local hanging outs. And, um, going to the morgue on coins and telling people where to meet me up. Okay. And things.
All right. So real quick for the listeners, would you like to give an explanation of what your character is? Because they're probably suits to fuse. My character is definitely who is the, um, God, or is the son of Hades and Kali, who was supposed to be raised to be the ultimate death avatar.
Like Kali, the Kali, sorry. I said Kali, my Kali. Right. Kali, the new God of chaos and destruction, I believe.
Yes. And Hades, the God of death in war. Yeah. Oh, no.
Hades. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Death in Greek culture. Yeah. I'm their son and I don't like death. So I try to stop death as much as I can.
And I try to get the souls out of Hades realm by telling them secret passages on how to escape. Okay. All right. So your totes mess up your parents.
That's why I'm the coin. So I know they're gonna go to Hades realm and I'll come to the ounces. Cause that's River Six. You super hit your dad.
Yeah. And he's a pretty, it's me probably. But also your how old? One thousand twelve years old.
But you act like your twelve. Yes. Okay. All right.
So that's a basic overview. Your character is like a sub God. Yep. Who's, okay.
Who's trying to be a hero because you don't like that. Yep. All right. Fair enough.
You reacted like you heard it for the first time. I'm just trying to clarify for listeners that that just happened. It did. Because I do weird things.
Yes. No, it's fine. It's okay. I think it's great.
It introduces a lot of concepts. So all that's real now for listeners who might have been questioning whether God's existed this world, at least the Hindus and the Greeks. At least the Hindus and the Greeks. Okay.
So a couple of days are going to go by. When is that auto auto auction grab grab girl wanted to drop? Yes. Oh, okay.
You're going to go to auto auction. Yeah. Okay. You guys are going to auto auction.
Queer here. Going to the auto auction as well. No. Okay.
I'm going to be in Dark Blades up in all three stages. He's pretty out for a couple of days. Okay. So he's out out.
B. D. B. D.
B. B. D. D.
D. D. Oh my God. Are you talking about Dark Blades?
Little. B. D. B.
And L. D. B. Why don't you stop?
B. D. B. D.
B. We're going to play. He's big D. B.
Yeah. I'm little. I'm little D. B.
Okay. So there's B. D. B and L.
D. B. Yes. Okay.
That's how that time to bring them. Oh my God. Jesus Christ. Okay.
All right. You take a stupid pill. Oh, she watched her hair. She's all fucking wound up.
All right. So you guys go to the auction. Um, you find like what kind of truck are you looking for? The truck with the drugs in it.
Oh, you want you want like the the um, oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
You're able to manage to buy a truck. It's like a moving truck. Okay. That's your super vehicle now, right?
Well, you put the motorcycles in the back. Text one. Right now. I got you.
Yep. It's going to be like a metal bay film. Okay. Cool.
So now you guys have a truck. You spent a little bit of money on it. You're uh, you're hurt. Yeah.
You spent money. All right. They arrive back at the base with a stupid truck. Cool truck.
I actually have an idea for these days. Yeah. You know when you're ready. Okay.
So yeah, a couple of days go by they buy a truck. What do you do? During those days, is it possible to figure out what Dark Ladies was going to be doing for those these days that he's being knocked out? Can I follow his schedule?
