Amberville Heroes #42

Oh, hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Amberville City Heroes. I am the Game Mustard in my name is HappyCuke and I am here with four people ready to be some heroes up in this hissy. I am with Jedi James, yo, I'm with Sith Lord Shannon, I'm with Jar Jar Jake, let the Winky Wind and Mandalorian Geezel. Touch my Sarlak Pit.

Oh god, it's got teeth. We are a real play face podcast based in the conical super hero universe for those that have listened to this is your first episode. You're just waiting right in the area. We'll catch up.

We'll catch up. Walking right in. Who joins the podcast? Hopefully new listeners.

Thank you. We love you. And then please ignore any other slights that we have. Yeah, but also fuck you.

Ignore all my nagging. It's the only way I've learned I was raised by pick up artists. Please put me in a DM. Yeah, slide into them.

So yeah, we're playing some super hero action and we did have an episode last time and things that happened on it. Who would like to say what those things were? Anybody? Volunteers?

Mueller? Mueller? Thanks for letting me in. No!

I feel like it should be me because I edited it but I do not remember it. I was up until two a. I'm trying to finish that bit and I still don't know what happened. Okay, I can try.

Head out. Okay, so there was a big attack in Amberville, which was just wrapping up. I'm scared of you and gravity girl handled that. I totally forget the name of the character that they were beating up.

Nice to meet you. Who is that evil plant woman? Yes, they beat up Night Shed, the evil plant woman. It's on caps with the winds in their heads.

Yes, there are lots of cops with weeds in their heads and Shane and totally broke Night Sheds like it's on my heart. Just my shins exploded. It was good. They were wrapping that up.

Wafer got back from his transatlantic journey and Quirry wound up swinging by Ruby River to pick up the creepy and lovable Kubo who is now their god. The god child monster? Yeah, Kubo's my god son. Yep, then he gets to live at the base now because Death Voice KO.

He's like a nine foot tall slime golem with a magical leg. And he loves milk. And he loves milk. And we hate to watch him drink it.

So everybody wound up reconquerading in town. We had a big data dump where all of us shared everything that we had been doing. And it was decided I guess by Wafer that he was going to try to find out more about all these relics that Gold Narrow is murdering copious numbers of people for. So he is going under the seat with Gravity Girl and her weird classics Professor Friend.

While obscurity and Quirry stay in town. And while on the train under the sea, Gravity Girl gets an interesting offer from a shady man. Yeah. And that is where we click.

Yes, that is indeed. Well, there's also a small bit that I will add where Quirry had found some spying devices in your base. Very similar to my own. Yes, almost identical.

Oh, no. We will pick up with Gravity Girl and on the train under the sea where it is better. Everything is wetter. On the underwater tram.

Grab Gal, you are there. This man is sitting in front of you. Okay. I'll let you say something first if you want to.

We already talked. A little bit. Like a smidge. She said I'm here to make you hear a talk to you and then we'll be clipping.

Alright, so talk. Well, see the thing is we want to recruit you. But you've been pretty obstinate with having discussion. I'm busy.

Saving the city. Well, I mean, there's that. And there's every time we send someone to have a conversation with you, you throw cars at them and shit. What?

No. No. They attack me first. Okay.

We're trying to get in my way. Fair. They don't have the the Zwad V as I would want them to have. But here's the thing.

I'm here to extend a hand to all of Branch. We would like you to be on our side. There's benefits. There's money.

There's power. What does your side do exactly? In and outs. Like we're not really into playing the good guy, bad guy game of chess that everybody else is playing.

We prefer to go our own way, do our own thing, pursue higher levels of knowledge and power. This whole fight on the streets and blown things up, that's really a means to an end. Everybody else seems to be like struggling for nothing. But we're working for something.

And we think you would be a great member of the team. What are you working for? Or chords? I can't just lay it all out there.

That's the thing. We have to know we can trust you with our secrets. And that's why I'm here. I'm here to talk.

Come with me. Join our crew. You'll know everything we know. We're sitting on the ground floor.

We'll work together. We just think you can make a great asset on our team. You can help. I can help.

Maybe. That's not really how we work. If you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound. You have to be all in or not.

In it all. We burn all your bridges. We get rid of your former identity. You become one of us.

You become nameless. You become faceless. You vanish, essentially. So we either give up all the muddling around and join us or stay in this earthly nonsense that everybody else is living.

This is day to day grind bullshit. I'm offering an escape from this treasury. I mean, what do you do? You fight in a girl on roller seats in the street.

What did you do a couple of days ago? You fought a plant lady? Like, come on. You're better than that.

Who fucking cares? Taking over cops and running a city. Why is that any of your concern? Do you want something higher or something more?

Well, I keep living that city. Well, you don't have to. That's what I'm saying. There's always a plant lady somewhere.

Just don't worry about it. Do it stupid. You don't have to worry about it. That's all I'm saying.

It's a rat race. You're stuck in it. I'm offering you a door out of the cage. Look.

Kind of like my cage. Well, when you get tired of it, we'll be there. Do you have a business card? Sure.

He hands you a card and just has a phone and a browner and nothing else. He's like, you ever change your mind? Give us a ring. All right.

Hopefully it's not too late. He stands up and he walks into a different area of the train as your professor friend comes back and says, he's like, this is pretty cool. Go to the woods. Yeah.

Is there some like sea life outside? Yeah. He's like, look, it's a metal ward. Sweet.

Sweet. Wait for her. Did I hear any of that exchange? Roll notice.

Okay. Well, actually, how close were you sitting? Were you sitting pretty close? Probably.

Yeah. Roll notice. Three. Yeah.

You got a good amount of it. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to keep an eye out for that guy and just play it cool, I guess.

Play smooth. Yeah. All right. You're playing it smooth.

You're dropping out. You're dropping out. Your train is almost to Atlantis. You've been on the train for a little while.

It's been kind of a ride. And you're deeper into the water. You're pretty far into the ocean now. And you see Atlantis up ahead.

I'm like, I'm like, jestic is it? It's super majestic. Yeah. Under the sea.

Undo dasi. Todder. Under the water. That's my favorite again.

Star Wars. Jeez. Star Wars to Wrath of Khan. My favorite song was under the sea.

Don't you remember when Jardar sang a song about how funny this divided four through the ocean and what the fuck that was about? Yup. Okay. So back to Amerville.

What are you guys up to? Good question. I guess I'll be on patrol while looking over that data cache that I was wrapped to verify it. Because if I can verify it, I'm going to make it public.

Okay. Yeah. It actually looks pretty like everything that you look up, you see traces of the information elsewhere that seem to verify it. So it doesn't look like it's like a false cache or anything.

Okay. I'll probably put it up and then put some secret code in there so that it will let me know who's looking at it in one. Okay. How are you disseminating it publicly?

I'll just go through the internet. So I've got like a website and a dark network or a source I can leak it to. All right. So you're wiggly leaking it?

Yeah. But I mean, it's kind of like, I own the channel as well. It's not like an independent channel. Right.

How like, are you like flagging it or trying like sending it to anybody in particular or just kind of like putting it on a geosites and like hoping someone's not done. I have a website that I'm sure like a lot of conspiracy nuts. No. Okay.

As like a place for questionable information. Okay. So like it is somewhat wicky leak see where there's like a bunch of people who like down on everything. Oh, there are a lot of weirdos on the internet.

I hope we have everything I say in the probably should. Okay. So you're like putting up a whole data dump? Yep.

Okay. Even though even the weird shitty stuff, whatever's in there that's like problematic or weirdo to get someone to trouble, it doesn't matter to me. Just pop wasn't at all. Yeah.

Okay. So you're buzzing some heads you stop like a mugging or whatever and then you do see some of boss islands goons around just doing no good next stuff. You're gonna bust them up. Okay.

I'm just trying to figure out what she's doing in town or whether or not organized crime is something I have to worry about right now. It seems like organized crime has a pretty strong thing in your town. Okay. Because nothing has been done about it.

Yeah. So like it seems like as you bust them like what the fuck you usually don't care what I think we do. I'm sorry I'm busy. So like that's fine.

You can be busy just that buzz in our heads. Is there anyone else on the boss I want or she kind of got further in the city? She kind of got further in the city. Okay.

So I guess what I'll have to do is start looking into how to contain a ghost. All right. Like what I can put it into or if I need to buy a talisman or something. Okay.

So you're gonna start doing that while your boss heads. Yeah. Cause I'm in between us. Cause I imagine it's like an eight hour stretch of just waiting for shit to happen.

Right. Gotcha. Okay. Over to Absquara.

What are you doing? What time of day is it's? It's been a little while. It's getting towards night.

Okay. What is the most government official building. I don't want to sit at the White House probably like that. Like the mayor's office, right?

Like this usually like a big government building. It's like a big government building. City Hall. Yeah.

City Hall. So it's like this big thing like a big bulbous top. It looks like a big boob. Like a bunch of pillars and statues out front.

The ceremonial government titty. All the buildings have a titty. I know they did. I know they did.

I mean hearing someone put it that way. It's like, yeah. Actually. Okay.

Is it evening enough to wear their open still or not? Yeah. It's like getting towards like five ish when people are letting out and shit. Okay.

I'm gonna make my way that way. Okay. I'm there. Yeah.

I'm there. Yeah. I just did the same question. Yeah.

Totally. People are getting out and like there's a couple cops who are like, hey, it's hearing how you're doing. Oh, I'm not waving. Say hi and see what's up.

Not much. You know, just doing the rounds. We're here to get somebody to contest it apart. You can take it.

So we got to come down and you know, that kind of shit. Yeah. So I'll just chat with them a second. Okay.

And then I'm gonna walk around the block. Okay. I'm gonna go invisible. All right.

Can I set something off? I'm like a pli scanner or like sure. Yeah. What are you trying to set off on the pli scanner?

Oh, just like a robbery or something. Okay. So you're trying to like smooth for robbery? Yeah.

Yeah. Sure. Yeah. You have to do that.

Okay. You can just do it. It's not that hard. All right.

You just move Robert. Oh shit. And they all jump in their car and drive off. She's gonna pump the cops.

And this world's called tricked. That's right. Tricked. You have a camera crew.

It's gonna be so funny when they show up and there's no one get robbed. I know. I figured I got punched in the robber. In this world, everyone has a bloody nose.

Except Andrew WK. Oh, yeah. He's a you can't get a buddy nose for all he tries. Black me or season four.

It's like the Twilight Zone. But scary. What if everyone had a bloody nose all the time? But also your computer was a friend.

So yeah, I'm scared. The cops drive away. Okay. All right.

Is the building closed? Yeah, it's getting door closed. Yeah. Hang out and just kind of go out like the back of the building.

All right. How long are you waiting there? It's all it's empty. All right.

Yeah. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go in and then wait. Okay.

All right. So you waiting there? Everybody close up. Yeah.

All right. You spent some time there. And they all close up. Query.

You are out and about. Bus and heads. Not much else. Moving on that side.

Okay. Yeah. Not much to report there. Okay.

I will if I run on things to look into I guess I'll start looking into cold and air also more. Okay. But it's kind of a long term project because it's hard to get a figure on. Right.

So what I'll be looking to do is see if that toy store is still getting robbed. Okay. Yeah. They're running out of tenure.

What happens if you don't stop the teddy bear? Well, she stopped showing up and then we just can't serve that particular product. That's not a problem. Do you want it to stop robbing you?

You told me to keep stalking. You guys told me to just keep stalking the teddy bears. Okay. You want me to just stop?

I mean, those are profitable items, blanks and teddy bears. I mean, they go back to the fucking 30s of everyone likes blanks and teddy bears. So is it any bicycle or any teddy bear? Specific teddy bear.

Specific teddy bear. So if you move a model number up, she will stop showing up. I haven't tried scraping the model numbers. It's not going to work.

Can I watch? She coming to me? She might. I mean, it's been kind of sporadic, but yeah, we can try.

I'm going to pull out like a wad about $500. It's all crumpled up in sway. We're going to slap it on the table and we're like, you're going to buy some more teddy bears, too. Okay.

All right. So you're going to sit here and watch that. Five hundred dollars in the way that you would put X left over my friend the gas station. So I'm just going to sit there and jean for a couple hours in the warm.

All right. He's like, okay. So you're just going to sit and watch nights. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I've never seen it before. All right.

Fine. That's okay. I'll let you do that. So I'll go hit up a bar and see what I see.

I'm looking to be salt and green. Okay. All right. So you're doing that in some pavement.

Boom. You guys on the train, gravity girl and wayfarer, you're the train lands in Atlantis. You are now fully under dusty and the doors open. Everyone piled up.

Okay. You will take pictures. Yeah. I wanted to go and research the last thing that a gold medal stole, but I totally forgot to write down the name of it.

The races are power. And I'm just hanging along. Yeah. We're like, all right.

All right. All right. Well, in the interest of key, maybe catching up listeners. Build an arrows like a super villain in the run for a while.

We're chasing them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We thought we thought we, I'm ever saying, hey, we should do that. We're off it. So here we go. Yeah.

So you guys are in Atlantis. I guess I'm going to head towards the palace. Okay. We're, we're, we're you going with your classic professor.

There any museum? Yeah. Oh, yeah. We'll go there.

Okay. The museum is being run by some fish folk. They're like welcome land while I'm, I'm checking out on museum. Yeah.

Is there an entrance for you. No. expensive enough that it'll pay for itself. But yeah, the museum is full of autoty and stuff about it.

You want a bit about fish history? Fish history? Yeah. Because these aren't like people on this scene.

These are like actual legit bipedal fish people, like giant weird fish faces. Like the creature from the black would be with the run hats. Yeah, yeah. They have a society.

It's kind of like reverse mermaids, basically. Why don't you not really? Fish on top person on bottom? Yeah.

Nice. The dream. My kink. But yeah, so the museum is full of good stuff.

Are you looking for anything in particular? Or just a little bit of a rousing? And then I'll inquire into these racers, I guess. OK.

But wait for a setting there. So wait for it. You get to the palace. All right.

You are there. Fish guards are like, hello. Are you waiting for a tour of the next tour of it comes by in 10 minutes? How do we get an audience with a cider?

A cider? Yeah. A cider doesn't live here. I mean, you could talk to a ritiser or a bizzy.

OK. How do I get an audience with a ritite? You can put your name on a list and we can, I don't know, judge how urgent it is and pass your name by him and see when he schedules it. You might have to wait here for a while.

That's a while. Depends on how urgent if he knows you. I mean, if you're just, I mean, I've seen people come down here. I mean, Robert made an own come down here sometimes and they get in immediately because I know the guy.

But like, if you don't know him, it might take a while. If your business is like stupid, you just want to talk about ship scratching or whatever it might take a while. But like, it's like world threatening. Hey, everyone's going to die.

Maybe maybe quicker. I'm just saying like he rates it on like if he knows you and if the business is important. So it really depends. It's a sliding scale.

Really. So like here's a list. You put on who you are and what your business is and go pass it by him. However, I'll be your accuracy is the same.

He's a one man show. He's got a lot to do. I gave me the list. He can't do the list.

What do you write down? Can I roll to see if I even know him? Sure. Roll context.

Three. Three. You've met him before. You have crossed paths.

You, like you don't know a person who never worked on a team with him, but you have been in a few scrapes where you guys have teamed up. Okay. So you are like a first name basis. It's just like you've never been on a team together.

I will fill out the form with the most urgent sounding description again. Oh, we need to know what these bracelets are. Before all murder happened. Cast killed several children.

Okay. All right. So you're going to put that in. They're like, is there anywhere we can reach you?

Are you staying at the hotel or like you have a. I'll give him my patron number. All right. They're like, I'm your patron number.

They're like, all right. We'll page you when we hear. Okay. Thank you.

You're welcome. Uh, I'm going to grab a girl. Where are you going to inquire about? The last like the curator, whoever's.

Yeah, like the lower person of the museum. Okay. You find the curator of the museum is like, hello, hello. How are you?

Very well. I was wondering if I could inquire. You know, anything about the bright stairs of power. I have no relation.

No. No. Do they have like other Greek artifacts here? Yeah, but it's all stuff that has to do with like Poseidon in the ocean.

So there's like a trident and like some water based shit, but it's not like a full Greek museum. It's mostly like Atlantis history and shit. Okay. No.

No. No, I'm no. Are there any cyclops down here? That one is water dump.

There's islands. I mean, hard to find, but they're there. Okay. Well, thanks for your time.

You're welcome. There's anything you'd like to talk about? Can you say it's a trap? Yeah, it was a trap.

Is there anything I can help you with? I don't know. We have new things coming in there all the time. What's your newest?

newest thing. Our newest exhibit is about the Titanic. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

We scavenged a good portion of it. Really? Next month we have one about the Marialt's structure. Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, it's a place. Really? Yeah.

I mean, that's a little throwing some new equipment that they recover. Like me for them, the ink dissolved. Nothing to go by. The necklace that I can't believe.

The only thing that's stupid is she threw it at the surface and didn't know that the water currant would take it somewhere. So it's a mild way. It's just like a paper with a bunch of washout ink on it. They're like land-wellers.

It's so interesting. Yeah. Is there anything else we can help with that? Let's say thank you.

All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. All right. Everything else? No, I'm getting out of here.

Oh boy. Okay. You're like a CD bar just like a crook or whatever. Ask about the salt and rum.

You hear from somebody who mentions Riot Girl. He's like kind of a greasy, this guy's the underworld dude. And he's like, yeah, I don't know about what salt and rain, but I know that Riot Girl. I've talked to her a few times and she's mentioned them.

Why is she mentioning them? I don't know. Something about them, the basters and whatever, whatever. I'll tell you what, the fucking paper guy owes me money.

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. He's got a real ugly plastic guy. Game wind debts.

Oh, yeah. And I can't go back to my guy with the money. Right. So you say she pulled them?

Word on the street. She didn't take them but knows where they are. So they're okay. All right.

She's in the, in the clink though. Word on the streets. Yeah. She's in the clink.

She ain't gonna sink. She's in a rat. Who should work with? Not 100% who's been painred bills lately.

She's usually part of this Hands For Hire team. Okay. But word is she hasn't been working with them in a grip. Okay.

She's been she's been freelancer for some other cat. But I don't know, I don't know who this cat is. She won't give me much, she never gave me much information on that. Just some dude with deep pockets.

So you think maybe like that guy is, what I don't know. Because if I, look, I can't go back to my guy with his money. I mean he's somewhere else to be. Right.

Right. Yeah. I mean he shoot. I don't know.

I hope me up. Fuck man. Dude, there's only one place to go in this fucking town, and I already burned a bridge. Well, you can't go out on.

No. She's the main gig, man. There ain't many other cats in the water as far as organizing. Yeah, see what happens when you burn one of her photo albums on accident when you get drunk once.

Yeah, you know, here's what I tell you. If you're really a tired, dying for work, you drive up a couple hours to Emerald City. Cat Man's Suit is always looking for bodies in the front line. OK, that's good to know.

Is that kind of crazy? Yeah, it's a fucking lunatic. But I mean, that's why I always need new people, because a lot of them get shot. You're smart.

You work for them a little bit. You build up some coin, a little bit of reputation. You can fold that in to get a job somewhere else. How's that fair?

You can guess what? Him? He usually pays pretty decent. He's crazy.

He doesn't keep track of his finances very well. So he pays well, but super dangerous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he's always warren with Dorothy, and there are always people dying on the street.

That place is nuts. They got caves that they do. Yeah. But we got caves that they ain't got caves to the front floor.

Well, yeah, but those are the ones that are most likely killing. The ones that were in the main suits just when you're in jail. That's true. The guys are all sad shit.

The cry a lot. Someone like Katie Coosie who takes care of his voice. That's true. That's true.

I'll tell you what. He travels, man. I want to work for Katie Coosie. Well, you have cats got a plane flying around everywhere.

Yeah. That's just dope. But they do it doesn't come right here. There's no money in town.

It's all just it's all ghost money. And she doesn't get along with anybody. There's no opportunities. You never heard of having going to go to travel?

You got to move, buddy. My mom lives here. Yeah, I know I got a mom's too. Yeah.

It sucks. It sucks, man. It really sucks having a mom. You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to look at it. Thank you. All right. Thank you.

Cool. Keep in contact. I'll look around and see who's been hiring this cat or see what cats been hiring. Not actual cat.

Not a cat. I can't even see what cats do. This guy. I'll try to see if I can find what guys been hiring.

Roll a skate chick. I'm going to flag up our tickets guy in the drink. Thanks, bro. Yeah.

No problem. Thanks for the info on that. Yeah. See you later.

I'm going to take that and just kind of like kind of really confused. I'm not sure if he really wants me to go do that. He's just pointing me in a terrible direction. He's trying to get used to rep.

No, no, I get it. I was just like he was a chill. You need an entire episode. Just that.

Those guys are like a cute guy. Talk over a fucking beer. I'm going to look into the prison that grab a girl's being held right now is being held. Okay.

All right. Let's cut back over to obscure. The mayor house is closed. I'm not mayor house.

Tom Hall. What do you call it? City Hall. City Hall has closed.

The last few people are leaving the janitors are starting to come in clean up offices. I mean janitors. Two or three. It's like all night work.

All right. And security or just the janitors. It's like one do that sits in front. Watch the monitors.
