Hey everybody welcome again to another episode of Amber Peele City Heroes. I am Happy Puke and I am your game lister. Today we got three lovely players ready here to play some fake live action for you based in the superhero universe. Today we've got Dem Jeezels.
We got Jay on the lip. We got Shuna Dated. Yay-ho. We're all gonna do this in all episodes.
This is the beach episode. The campy to the beach episode. We're gonna do a fun beach episode but the campy guys everyone's gotta do this. Alright.
Hope you're happy. Hope it is one of the friends wanted. That is always the best way to start a podcast one minute in it. Well I hope you're happy.
Hope you're happy. Hope you're happy. You have some every time I hope you're happy. It's the time we did with almost every episode of Oshawa.
You know this show. Hope you're happy. This is where you wanted. You saw the bitches.
Like I was trying. So who must tell us what happened last time on Amber Peele City Heroes? I will volunteer to do it as tributes. That's the life of the movie.
You did it once. I wanna mix it up. It takes like one as good though. But mix it up and I'll probably just point it to you.
I'm not sure if you can get any one or two or something. I'll probably fuck it up. Alright so what do y'all do? Query can have an old man and stuff him into the car.
Sure she. Of security and Waver successfully defeated Ryegirl after Gravity Girl got the shake kick out of her. You're certainly not the stuff now. Query took the old man out of the car and put him into a bunker in a corne field.
Who you? For safe storage. Of security and Waver went to visit town Cochrane in the sewer. And meanwhile at a police station the evangelist turned himself in on an expensive lake.
Whoa. Query went and warned Wolf Copp that this was probably a trap which she already knew because she's a bit coppin. It's debatable though. Of security and mental breakdown in the sewer.
A bunch of brownies into a space god. Waver and Query went to visit the old creepy man who refused to give up much information. Apparently his friends with a grown candle man. The wizard.
Query successfully set up a rendezvous with boss Ithon's contacts and that led to a meeting in a restaurant with a guy named Messker. Not much of the dealers to villains too but yes. Messker. Who you might remember from a little bit of a little underground when he...
I don't know there's a weird negotiation. We don't want to talk about those guys. I mean we do. Fuck them.
Yeah that's right. That's right. Come get me bro.com. Come get me bro.
Come get me bro.com. That is. And he killed a lot of their people. He kind of just forced him to not fight.
Because he gave up. Yeah. So we pick up obscurity and wayfarer. You got the message from Query to move.
What do you do when you get that message? I'm like... Like in what way? Like you're just like moving over like what are you guys doing?
Because you're in a building waiting for a signal right? Right. And I sent you a message when they said they were checking the perimeter. Do they have to move?
Because they sent people out. Right. So like what are you guys doing? Are you hiding?
I'm just like this in my legs. No I'm not. My question. My question is like are you just like keeping on the move so they don't see you?
Are you hiding? Or are you like getting in a car driving around or you want foot? I'm invisible on foot. Okay.
What forever? Is there much going on around the area that we're in? Is it like a vanen? Are there people around?
Query had said one of the more popular restaurants in town. So it's kind of like a nightlife area. So am I populated? Like there's people out and about and there's like a couple of bars with like music shows happening.
Yeah, it's kind of like a hustle, a mostly part of the city. But it's like after 10 or something. So it's not like there's not crowds of people. Yeah, it's not like super super crowded, but like the streets aren't vacated.
I will try to disguise myself in some way like making myself less visible. Okay. There's my powers. All right.
All right. So you guys are just kind of hiding around. It's not too easy to hide in the area. You do see a girl in a purple outfit kind of flying around looking around for people.
But you guys easily elude her. Oh, okay. Back to the resting room. Mascuer is sitting at the table.
Okay. I see it across the I know who this guy is. Yes. He's pretty dangerous.
He's a gun for hire, but he's like a high end gun for hire. And he's also kind of a major dickhead. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. He's known for like taking care of shit that other people don't want to take care of. But yeah, he does very work for some people on people. Okay.
I'm going to come to the table and say I'm looking at moving some drugs here in town. That's why I'm told they're good. But this is a way of getting a way to protect my sweet people. Because I don't want to be other in flow.
They told me that you were the people to talk to when it comes to stuff like that, and I would rather have a good relationship than that one. Right. Well, I mean, I'm doing this as a, I've been hired as a negotiator basically. Oh, okay.
What exactly are the things that you want? A regular connect for guns. Okay. And knowledge of where you're not willing to sell or not invested into so I don't take over your market.
So you want somebody to buy guns from and you want knowledge of the areas that we don't sell it. I want to be able to compete in the market, offer you a service by selling you what I make, but also have my own system on the side so that you can't be liable for what happens. That's a lot to ask. It might be, but it's also an incredible exchange of money for both of us.
I'm willing to pay. Right. What they told me they wanted was to hire you out basically by whatever product you have, contingent on quality, control, and then you keep all of your force presence on the street, what they wanted. So they don't want to be that people on the street but they still want to hire me.
Basically they want to use you as a manufacturer rather than a competition, street competition. The thing about being street competition, even in areas that are not heavy, is that if you gain momentum you can move into other areas and then they don't want to be really reliant on any of your product when you move into their areas. It's a conflict of interest. Does that make sense?
What about the rural areas? I mean, that was what they wanted. They wanted, you have no street presence but to be work as a manufacturer. What I'm saying is what if I'm not on your streets?
Right. Well, he's texting somebody. He texts a little while. You guys negotiate back and forth for a little while.
Are you guys doing anything while there's going on? I'm just trying not to get the scene. Okay. All right.
You're able, do you have like a negotiate skill? I don't know what that would be under. What's the most important? Like will or I would.
That would be the closest thing that's on my sheet I could think of. Like will or lower or context basically all I could enroll with. I think she's as close as when she says rapport. That makes the most.
I don't know if that's a skill I know. Yeah, there's rapport. Okay. I'll let you pick the way.
You can either report to try to get a friendly, a friendly, a compromised. You can provoke to try to intimidate. Or you can. Can I relend or will to try to just hold the negotiation out?
Stretch it. Yeah, you can. I'll let you do that. If you're not trying to compromise, you're just trying to draw it out.
I'll let you roll it out. I'm just trying to draw it out in a way that's like keeping my calm. Right. Making sure that I'm wasting time.
Okay. That is a two. I'm going to give you this though. Okay.
What do you. I'm just throwing it out. Four this time. Okay.
All right. You're drawing it out. You're wasting a lot of stuff. Have you noticed that they're basically not going to come up?
There's some stuff. They basically don't want street competition. And if anything, if you have troops on the ground, basically they view that as direct competition, because they're operating in multiple cities. Right.
And if you have any area that's quote or quote, your territory, they consider it. You're not working for them. You're working against them. Right.
Gotcha. I need an independent group to help me manufacture stuff. And I need them on. That's going to be my position.
Basically, like, I'm making stuff for you. I'm not going to trust your people. I can't. Because then they're going to know what I'm doing.
Right. Just kill me and then move on. Right. And their position is you can have people and they can help you protect what you have as far as manufacturing, but not as far as owning selling territory.
So if I just buy stuff from you and I agree to manufacture for you, then you will sell me guns. Yes. I'm cool. Okay.
Cool. That's negotiation cast. We did it. Good radio.
Okay. You know what? We didn't fight anybody. Which is the only time in superheroes that happens next time.
Careful negotiation. All right. So. All right.
So what are you doing after that? Walking out. I'm going to be doing a car to the suburbs, to a safe house where I will walk in like I'm a normalized person. Right.
Are you, what are you telling them anything? As soon as I get clear, I'm going to let them know I'm clear and then I'm going and don't follow me because of the list you might race suspicion than probably telling me. Okay. What do you guys do?
I'll do. I'm walking. I'm trying to get my 10,000 steps in. All right.
Wayfarer. What are you doing? I'm going to kind of zigzag my way back to the face. Okay.
All right. The night goes by undisturbed. Okay. Next day.
Next day. Next day. All right. So what was your plan to do with?
What was your plan to do with the muggle? The muggle guy? Yeah. He's going to sit.
All right. I'm going to check in on him and make sure he's okay and see if he's willing to talk to me. But if he's not, he's going to sit and I'll start doing some recon on the house. All right.
The house seems to have the same muscles like you saw before. It's like even though someone broke in, they didn't really change much. It seems like there's a few more guards. Okay.
And they didn't clearly put up like 20 foot walls or. Okay. So I'm just going to keep investigating that and I'll do some research on this guy's life so I can have a person in there and tell these two that I'm going to be like, hey, I'm working on this thing. It's going to take me a few days to break into the old man's witch house and in between now and then we'll probably hear back from us.
I don't want anyway. So it's going to take it easy and do some recon if you need me. I'll be out around. Okay.
Are we trying to get Tom Cochran back home? I'm more concerned with the guy that brought Tom Cochran here. But we need him to help get Tom Cochran back home. We need this guy secured first.
Like we can't ask him to do things for us until we take care of him. Whatever that means. But these magic types, they don't care if they die. They don't care if they hurt.
You can't take anything away from them other than their magic. It's like a real, it's a difficult situation or end because we just go up and start punching this guy when I go fixing it. I really like to punch him. Really like a lot.
He's a miserable bastard. Which guy? The Muggle? No, the bone wizard.
Oh, you don't know much about it. He ain't just too funny though. These magic guys lumping them all in one group. There's a lot of different magic guys and they're all kind of weird and most of them smell funny.
Wow, true. Did you meet the one that came to your base? Yes. Yeah, well she smelled like a dumpster at a buffet.
That's her call. I'm not bothered by it, but Jesus. Okay, so the one guy like, he's pretty miserable, locked up in your thing. He's making a lot of noise.
He's got a lot of alerts of him kicking stuff over and shoving. But he's an old man who can't do much. Yeah, I know. I'll bring him some freedom news favorites.
He doesn't read it. He's like fuck you. Got him. No, he shit.
Oh, if that's what he says, I'll tell you what. If you have book recommendations, let me know. No, give me a pepper, I'm cock. Is that what this guy is?
No, he's not. He's an old disgruntled academic. So that's kind of the target. I don't have TV.
It looks like it's worth your chambers. All right, so you're looking out. What are you all doing while query does stakeouts on the stake? Ow.
This might might have been checking it all. I'm going to divide my time in between improving the base, doing some controlling. I guess no one else is going to be doing it. And making sure obscurity does not spend a weird amount of time with Tom Packer.
That's security. What do you do? Oh, here time with Tom Packer. Did you just keep going down there like every day?
Yeah. I'm going to visit him. Okay. You're going to get the bomb plate.
Do I feel sick when I go down there? No, no. It's not the rats. It's the fleas on the rats.
Stop linking the rats, please. Like personal agenda. The Tom Cochrane says that you should, if you find a vessel, you can find a man. He's going to be chasing the vessel.
What? Says that if you find the vessel, you can use the vessel as a bait to find the man. It's perfect, honey. And he's explicit.
He's explicit. He's very explicit. He could be like me, incredibly direct. Okay.
He was searching for the vessel if he find the vessel first. Okay, good to know. I'll bring the info back. Okay.
That helps actually. Yeah. I'll actually walk the tacky whenever it's here. Okay.
I'll let you know that I'm going to let him sit for a day and then I'll go talk to him with the vessel. See if we can do a lead on that. Otherwise, I'll make him a focus on it. Certainly running there.
Okay. I'm going to start telling stories with vessels in them that I can recall. Okay. You tell a couple about boats because the vessel also beats both.
Yeah. And how can I like this? Not what I mean by vessels. I don't mean boats.
Do you know Moby Dick? No. I'm going to tell him that story. Okay.
You're recalling classic literature to the elder god. Elder god seems intrigued. Okay. That is fair.
That was a very fucking love crafty fucking book. Jesus. Yeah. Like it wants to know more of these classic stories.
Oh my god. Okay. All right. What are you doing at the library?
I'm getting classic literature. How many books will they let me take out? You're an upstanding citizen. Yeah.
You're an upstanding citizen. Like you have like the gold membership library card. They're like, whatever the fuck you want. I'll take out four.
Put it on my tab. I'm going to. Okay. I'll take out like four.
Classic stuff. All right. I'm going to go live. Sorry time.
All right. I can just imagine like, okay. Like sometimes like I get in my head like an amazing comic panel. I just want like a really good comic artist to draw obscurity.
This pink ass, Carmen Sandiade with robot legs reading double nurse to a fucking like I'm scared as the Lou B's did a sewer. I was imagining that she was reading him like, um, like the great Gatsby. And just used a comic panel. Like, so the eyes on the billboard.
And then the flesh flops like interesting. Yes. That's a good interpretation. What's another classic book?
So what four classic books do you pick? Oh, I'm going to do Pride and Prejudice. Okay. What we dick.
All right. Animal farm. Okay. Sophie and so upset with it and Lord of the Flies.
Oh, couple of fucking book justice in the end. Why do you hate those books? I mean, they're books that most people get to read. Yeah, they fucking suck.
The worst. At least it wasn't like fucking old and clothy old bullshit. Holding clothy old? Is that like, is that the same book with a cat?
Yeah. Okay. So you're reading those books to that guy. Wayfare.
What were you doing? Uh, fixing up base. Patrolling. Patrolling.
Making sure security doesn't get weird. obscurity has gotten really weird. She's camping down there with a stack of plastic butter. And most of the stuff that you would like, you know, require to read in high school.
I'm also going to make sure that Tom Cochrane is doing okay. Yeah. Just maybe imprisoned at this point. Tom Cochrane, he's fine.
He seems relatively engaged in these books. Okay. If you read Pride and Prejudice, it was just like, what a brave way to take back trappings from the romance genre. Okay.
So you guys are all doing that. Um, patrollo goes pretty well. Things seem relatively quiet. There have been a couple of B and E's that have gone unsolved.
Yeah. Uh, and like, should I follow up on that? Yeah. I mean, you've seen like, please set a few places and they're like, yeah, so we're going to talk to the police.
Uh, sure. Yeah. There's been like, B and E's, they, they, uh, they started a few months ago, then they just kind of stopped and then they've been happening again. There's like no trace of anything.
Just things gone missing. Okay. Um, and I had like a place that they've hit recently. Uh, yeah.
It's like a jewelry store. Can I like take a look around with my weird energy power? Sure. Sure.
All right. All right. All right. You, you get a sense of some weird energy.
Like what kind of weird energy? Like, like energy you don't recognize, but you know that it's weird. And they're like, yeah, like things went missing, but it's like, like very specific things. It's like one brand of like necklace and it's very specific set of hearings.
And every, every time they restock on them, like they go missing again. Like someone breaks in and steals the new ones. And yeah, it's like the same four or five places keep getting hit and they keep the same things keep going missing. Like one of the shops, like certain picture frames and like certain toys, like certain stuff keeps going missing.
Okay. Um, this maybe I will follow up with the shops and ask if maybe they let me know the next time they're going to restock. I could like hang out and, you know, I mean, sure. Okay.
I mean, a lot of the sorts of like it wasn't such a big deal because like the number of things going missing is so small. Like it keeps happening. And like, you know, this particular Miranda child's toy is relatively popular in life. Keep it on the shelves.
But every time we stock it just all goes missing. So is it like the thieves are like stealing keelies? No. It's like a, like a, like a teddy bear.
Oh, like a very specific teddy bear and like very specific, what kind of boys bike and then like a couple of pairs of shoes that are very specific. And then jewelry, just like really weird stuff. It's the saddest crime street. Okay.
Um, yeah. I'll follow up on that as best as I can. Okay. Uh, you're, yeah, you follow up.
You find like every place that's on the list of places being hit like this, have the same story. It's just very, very specific items going missing every time. I'll let them all know to tell me when they're going to restock. I guess.
Okay. So. You've done some sticking out of this place. This house.
What do you, what do you do now? You stuck it up. What did I learn that I didn't know when I just ran in first? Um, there seems to be like a question, answer thing that a lot of them do with each other, like to recognize one another, but all everyone asks different questions and everyone gives different answers.
So like it seems like a weird conversation every time they start talking to each other. Like one person will be like, like at midnight, it's really gone. And then they'll say something like the tide watches over you. But another guy will respond the same question with like very different answers like the flowers blooming, but it's always really weird, like nonsensical shit.
But like it seems like a really weird mixed need code so people know who each other really are. Okay. Can I try to decipher that anyway? Uh, you can try to.
Like you can tell like what, like if you watch one person for long enough, like the answers they give to certain people, but you don't know, like the guy you take in, you don't know what answers you do. Can I just like make it like every time I hear something you write it down? Yeah. And then when I get back to the base, run it through a couple of like data analysis programs just sort of like what are the common themes here?
What are they talking about? What are they talking about? What are things that keep popping up? What are the things that always bring up skulls and bones?
Like there's a skeleton on it. So there has to be a theme or a linking connection here. Anything pop up? Yeah, like, um, you come, it comes back with a lot of connections to the writings of a old, a cold weirdo.
Oh cool. I'm gonna go buy a bunch of those fucking books. You go to store and buy a bunch of your old Charlie books. Oh, they're all Crowley shit?
Yeah. For real? Yeah. Oh my God.
This is the worst. Look at the nerdiest Satanist. The fuck's sake. There's been so, there's still a lot of work in Satanism done since the fucking 1800s.
Jesus Christ. If it's just all Crowley shit, how many secret society do similar, like, slang or things? Like a bunch of them. Okay.
So like, can I just look into those for a few days and put it together for a minute? Yeah, but I mean, like, it's kind of interweave like one person will quote one writing another person will quote another one. It's like each person has like their own answers to things. Okay.
I think I have an idea how I'll make this work, but I need to study the language for a couple of minutes. Okay. All right. So you're doing that.
What are you doing? Reading classic literature. You just keep with that? Yeah.
I've got through a book. Yeah. Yeah, you get through Moby Dick. Okay.
I'll start the first chapter of Pride and Hoodies and then I will bookmark it. Okay. All right. All right.
You're doing that. And then I'll go maybe patrol and do things I'm supposed to be doing. All right. You stop some street level crime.
You also notice Wayfair checking out some places and talking to cops. Well, Wayfair, you're doing your investigation. I'll stroll up. Oh, you're hanging out with Tom.
I was. Okay. Anyways, awkward pause and checking out some game. You've got some game.
You've been having a town? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I guess these things stuff keeps going missing from these select stores.
Like what kind of things? Like, he leaves. Sorry. You're just siding that they're he leaves.
I don't get it. I get it. I get he leaves. I don't get.
You want to see them? They always look really fun. I never tried them, actually. You do roll up.
You don't fit them. Oh, you put him in your robot feet. Built in he leaves. Well, you're gonna give a soap plate like those soap shoes.
Yeah. So you can grind out things like Sonic the Hedgehog. All right. So what are you guys doing?
Everybody kind of back in one place. Kind of. They're doing an investigation, but I mean you're around. Okay.
If I'm around, I'm going to go into one of the rooms that they're not in. Yeah. Not like a private room or anything, but pull out like a thing from my clothing and pick some on the wall. It's like a big full length mirror.
Yeah. You just roll out though. Kind of like one of those e-in paper things. Yeah.
And I'm just going to start practicing the old man's facial expressions and make up and voice. You're really trying to make believe him. Yeah. And I'm going to try to be a little more open about how I do things so that they don't suspect me as much.
Right. So like if you two walk in, I'm not going to be bothered by it. I'm just going to be sitting there like practicing drawing my eyes out or that sort of thing. Right.
And I've got a bunch of photos of him that I'm working off of. So I'm going to try to make sure this is days of getting as close as possible. Okay. Really putting the nose to the guy on the phone.
Yes. Although if I have the chance and like a day passes, I will go back there and talk to him about the vessel. Okay. All right.
You get a call from one of the stores that supplies the bikes and teddy bears that keep going this thing. They're like, we weren't going to order anymore, but since you said that you needed it for the investigation, we ordered another supply of bikes and teddy bears. They're bound to be stolen the next couple of days. Okay.
And help me tag team this one. Oh, me. Sure. Okay.
We can try to work out a kid and I on the store. Does it seem to happen while the store is open or closed or anything like that? Mostly at night. Mostly at night.
I'm going to narrows it down a little. I think I killed Jake. You guys are going to investigate that. Yes.
And you are going back to the muggle. Yeah. The muggle. Muggle man.
Okay. So you go back to the muggle before they go to investigate. I'm dressed as him. Okay.
I'm just going to be talking to him while he is in a. Sorry. Just try to talk to him and see if he'll open up about the vessel. Okay.
You're just going to bring it up or whatever. I'm just going to come and walk in and I'm assuming he's just screaming and shit. What is that screaming? I mean, he's mad.
Yeah, he's like, he's hot. I wish he'd let me go. This is a crime. Sure.
And the moment I get released, I'm going to report you. Report who? You. Me?
Your whole organization. I'm going to look right back at him, dressed immediately. I'm going to report you. Not quite there yet.
That's okay. I'll tell you what. If you want something about the vessel, I'll let you go. Second deal I made by the way.
I don't need to tell you anything. You should just mind your own business. It's none of your concern. Okay.
That's cool. Then this isn't any of my concern either. I'm just going to walk away. Okay.
A little bit of patience in this guy. No. I mean, he's not going to be shit. All right.
You got to come to the table, baby. All right. Can he drag there? Okay.
All right. So you're just going to let him be. You're not going to ask anything else. I mean, like the vessel is the main thing I'm concerned with really because like he's not going to give me his, he's not going to give me his, he's not going to give me his, Alistair Crawley.
Well, because he's just going to know immediately what I'm doing, right? He's just, he's going to throw me off. Right. I'm going to make sure he's okay.
Like is he physically hurting himself or? No, he's not. He's not. He's literally.
Okay. And it doesn't, like he doesn't have loved ones right there missing or anything. He has family, but like they all think he's dead. So.
Okay. We're the family. There are a couple of times the way he used to live in, he used to live in Quarcy City. Okay.
I'm good. I'm going to send him a message by quick and say, we might, I might change my plans. This guy's got rail lives. They're going to be able to tell me a lot about him.
Maybe to the point where I don't have to put myself into physical danger. How long has this guy been able from his family? A year plus about six or seven years. They might not know him that well.
They might not know him that well, but I've only lived in places and he had things he left behind. The thing is whether or not they know what he was into doesn't matter. You can be between the lines in a lot of his cases. I'm assuming I'll see a lot of grieving people.
And I'm going to get him a lot of false open the process. But what do we do? I don't know what to do other than that. Successful operations go for the fruit.
All your nose. I will. Thank you. That's a good advice.
I'm heading over to Quarcy City. I'm heading over to Quarcy City. I'm heading over to Quarcy City. I'm heading over to Quarcy City.
I'm heading over to Quarcy City. Why do you do that? That was very funny. That doesn't seem right.
It doesn't mean it wasn't funny. Okay. So if your coven courts start. Yeah.
All right. And you two are hiding out in a store every night or what do you guys do to investigate this? I'm going to go. Grab her sleep legs.
I'm cool. Yeah. Yeah. Is that how you're doing it?
Yeah. Sure. Thanks. On the party.
The store. All right. Okay. You are slumber party in the store.
How are you observing the goods? With my eyes. Well, like, are you going to observe them all night? Or are you like putting like, what's your situation?
Like, how are you situated in the store watching entrances watching the merchandise? Like, aw, watch entrances. Are you going to be able to stay awake all night? Nope.
Okay. Maybe we should do this in shifts. Okay. In that case, I'm going to try to like disguise myself into the background and keep an eye on the goods and the doors as best as I can.
Maybe closer to the goods than the door. Okay. So you're watching the goods and on your ship. You're watching that trip?
Yes. Okay. Who's taking first shift? How about you take first shift?
Oh, it will take a second. Sounds good. Okay. The first couple nights go by relatively fundamentally.
The merchandise is there sitting there. Yeah. So it goes by sitting there all night. It's pretty fucking boring.
