Amberville Heroes #71

Hey y'all, this is Bailey. You may recognize me as the voice of Carrie from Generation Justice. Or the crazy chick on Twitter that won't stop screaming about ships. Are you looking to watch Quality Tabletop Gaming while also supporting a worthy cause?

Well, on Saturday July 14th, starting at 1PM Pacific time, Roll4Change will be hosting a live stream to benefit the Trevor project, which provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. You can watch the stream at twitch.tv slash Roll4Change. That's Roll4Change. We hope to see you there.

Ooh, rockers, and welcome to another episode of Amberville City Hero. I am your game at Mustard. Happy Puke and I am here today with four wonderful lovelies. First we have one non-blond, Shannon, playing obscurity.

And the only one? Yeah. Yep. I got one in it.

Yeah. We have Blink 122. Jake playing... Who are you playing today?

I'll be playing Jackson King today. Okay. So yeah, Jake, you got anything to say to the people? Check out my SoundCloud page where you can find me as Metro-Tall.

Oh, god. We have Matchbox 10. Sophie playing Wayfair. Wow.

Just my feel good. Inhale with me. I'm so smooth. And we have Power...

We have Powerman 100, James, playing, uh, Failing today. Is that less than a few? And the baby nephew? It was the baby nephew of Powerman.

And the 500 require power level. I'm like, Krillin. Nice. Two of these counts.

Yeah. You like to hang out with Powerman 5000, but you're only Powerman 100. So we are a real play-based black-ass based on the S.H.U. universe canonical everything else on this feed, I believe, unless we've redacted any of it, which I don't think we have, but I would like to let you know what happened in the last episode, but you know what?

I'm going to let one of these people do it. Who wants to let us know what happened in the last episode? I actually check notes. Oh, so give us a rundown.

Here, down, the rundown. Let's have a down in the down round, baby. Oh, no. Good song.

Okay. So we started at the top with Optuskate, framing obscurity in order to go to jail. Turns out, in a position is back and wants to kill all of Miradubligates to fuck with Queer's team before killing Quirry. So she decides she's going to go to jail for protection.

Obscurity winds up fleeing to our base. Wafer, in the meantime, has Japanese alien friend Akio delivered to the base. She and obscurity bond over baked goods. Phalanx goes to jail to try to talk to Optuskate and find out where the fuck Inquisition is.

She doesn't know. Totally unhelpful. Sportsmen and Wafer wind up going around to Queerry's old bases to try to look for clues about where the fucking Inquisition is. Meanwhile, Phalanx, Akio, and Obscurity all tried to teach obscurity how to walk through walls and watch TV together.

And finally, Sportsmen reveals that he is Queerry posing as Jackson King, posing as Sportsmen. Shout out to Mark on that one. And I hope you all have been watching your Basilisk, Crystal, thanks. I love you.

I love you. I like to imagine Queerry doing the Robert Downey Jr. speech from Tropic Thunder. I don't know who I am.

I don't know who I am. I don't know who I'm talking about the other speech from Tropic Thunder. No, just the one that was like, real famous. I don't know who I am.

I'm the dude playing the dude. The guys at the end of the dude. I got to warn the viewers, I am on a lot of cold medication right now. So if I'm more incoherent than usual, you're welcome.

This will be a party. And we're all doing lose as well. So good. The Texas.

Yeah. Oh, we're going to open up a back at the base. Phalanx, you get back to the base. Phalanx was at the base.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, you went to the prison and talked to somebody. Okay, Phalanx, you're at the base, along with Obscurity and the floating head. Oh, yeah, because you were like powering up.

Yeah, you guys were talking about Dragon Ball's even cartoons. And yeah. You were like, excuse me, Basilisk, Crystal X recovered this. I wrote it down explicitly.

So we'd be able to cherish this memory forever. Basilisk, Crystal X, you're right. So you guys are watching Basilisk because that's what you guys doing? What are you guys doing now?

What are you guys up to now? I'm just staying perma invisible. Okay. Phalanx, what are you doing?

No. Um, we hit Akikido, right? Yeah, she's just floating head with a spine hanging out of it. Yeah, she's showing me the DBZ episode.

She's kind of floating around the house right now. So I guess I will. Do we have a monitoring station for the city? Uh, yeah, you got a little bit.

You tied into some police channels and whatnot. I'll monitor that for a little bit. Okay. What are you doing?

I'm security. I'm invisible. You're just still watching Basilisk, Crystal X. Yes.

I don't know how much I'm really paying attention to it, but I'm watching it. Okay. You know what? I am going to pay so much attention to it.

Okay. All of the attention to it. All of the attention? All of it.

Mm, okay. I like to think she's invisible so she can mimic the Karate-moshy season screen. Yeah, you're trying to power up her float. Like kids do when they watch her embolzy.

I'm trying to stick my hand through a wall. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I forgot about that. Okay, so you're trying to do that. Uh, let's head over to Wayfair and Quirry.

What are you guys up to? We were in one of Quirry's old bases. Yes. And I had revealed myself as Jackson King, who was like a former government official that, uh, obscurity killed on camera.

So I'm going to say to Wayfair, um, look at somebody, and he had to look like this. This doesn't come off. Like the old disguises do. So this is why I'm full-time now.

I would appreciate it if you keep it between us. What's going to happen with the others? Which others? I'm the team, failing, so obscurity.

You're going to tell them that I'm Jackson King. That's the way I might. I am Jackson King full-time. Okay.

I don't have another life. They're gone. Quirry is gone. That's old life.

I don't want to, I don't want to revisit it. Okay. But I mean, I think I can help if you let me. All right, shoot.

What do you got? Well, I think we can clear up Sturdy's name since I'm alive at all. Okay. And we're going to need some help looking into these alternate duplicates going through Quirry's old bases.

Doesn't really help. It seems, I suggest we meet back up with the team. Okay. What do you think?

I mean, that seems as good of Wayne as any. We're pretty much tapped out of resources here. No, I mean, what do you think you seem upset? You were fucking dead.

Yeah, for all purposes. Yeah. It's a little much. I know.

I know. I'm trying to do a lot better about that. I don't hear you seem upset. I don't blame.

I don't blame you for being upset. Really? Well, there's a lot of weird stuff going on. Of course you know about it.

But I've been hoping to keep it away from everybody. It just doesn't work very well. It's a big engine to be in the middle of and it's hard to steer. Yeah.

Yeah. You've got know how now. Did I just bring one of the bad aliens into our base? I don't think so.

Okay. But I think that if you're concerned, maybe you should go speak with her. I mean, very enough. I just have a lot of pots on the stove top right now.

Well, then let's pick the back roads to the base and you can film you. Okay. And I guess we'll just start heading towards the base. Okey dokey.

Phalanx. Yeah. You get a ring on your private cellular device. Hello.

It is Blair Solomon. And she's like, hey, I told you I'd get in contact when I found a way. I think I know where your father is. Really?

Yes. And it's going to be hard to get to him, but I have somebody that can help. If you're willing to come with me. Is it on this plane?

It's not on this plane. It's not a plane that I don't. It's real hard for me to reach. But I have someone that can get us there.

Okay. So let me know when you're ready to go and I can come pick you up. Okay. I'll check with my team.

See what's going on. Okey dokey. Bye. Bye.

Click. Okey dokey. All right. And eventually some time passes.

Tick tock. Hand everybody's back at the base. Before I look in the door, I'm going to say, we sure you might want to give them a heads up. But what they're going to see.

I don't want them scared to get upset. Yeah. I think she's probably already been through a lot. Yeah.

A nice purpose would be good. Yeah. So hang out here and give me a few mails I can answer anyway. Where are you guys talking at?

Yeah. It's a farm. Yeah. It's a porch.

It's like a wrap around. Yeah. Screened in. Where it was like one of those nice swingy chairs.

Yeah. With a bench and probably like a couple of flower pots. We should stop podcasting and just like go garden together. Go get like a big.

Go get like a big. So you get to share. Yeah. Let's go off all sleeping because you put together on camera.

We have rose bushes that are woefully neglected. Yeah, I know. And yet they bloom. Like a relationship.

Yeah. Neglected but bloomed. It overrunning the art. We are poor horticulturists.

All right. So what's going on? I'm going to go into the house and try to collect everyone. How are you going about that?

You're saying it louder? I'm just wondering did the living room and probably find everyone doing weird kind of food bullshit. But turn off the TV and basically be like I need to tell you something serious. Are you getting feelings as well or just?

Yeah. Okay. Does everybody gather? Yep.

I'm here. Okay. Sportsman is not sportsman. What?

Well, I imagine he has an actual name. No. Korea is alive and Korea has been posing as sportsman and Korea has been posing as Jackson King. Wait, what?

Yeah. Korea still Jackson King's identity after it happened and has been posing as sportsman to be on our team. So we what? Yep.

And Korea is alive. Korea is posing as Jackson King and has been posing as sportsman. So famous you have no connection to these people. Right.

I'm sure I've heard like reports that's happened. But basically someone came and said someone you never met is pretending to be someone you never met dressed up in the clothes of somebody who you thought you knew. Right. Yeah.

That's a good book title. Yeah. Would you not read that? Well, the book called Someone You Never Met was pretending to be someone you never met dressed up as somebody you thought you knew.

Yeah. Tell me you would not grab that. And at least give it a good look. Yeah.

Read the back cover. I only judge books by the cover so they need to be laid out well. That's a lot of words. He did a good reference letter.

Should I be at the next shirt? Yeah. I would wear that one. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Totally. All right.

All right. So you get that bit of information. Yeah. Was everybody do?

They're out on the porch whenever you're good to have me bring them in. They have stolen Jackson King's identity and have her face right now. So be prepared for that in a way that I was not. Yeah.

Wait. So this person's sportsman? No. The sportsman identity was a ruse.

I'm going to go running out. Okay. I'm looking for Jackson King Quirry. Okay.

Quirry is out on the porch. All right. I'm still invisible. But you are getting a hug.

Okay. I was like an invisible hug. Yeah. Ooh.

Hi. Hello. Hi. You're still with us?

Yes. I'm assuming by the hug wayfarer told you who I am. Uh-huh. Yeah.

This is a little weird. Yeah. But you're getting a hug anyway. That's fine.

Give me a big one. Things really suck right now. I can tell. And I've been watching.

I know. I know. I was hoping to be able to help you from afar. But I just got pulled in and it's hard to get pulled out.

We should try to clear your name by the way. Yeah. Maybe at some point. Well, that would be good.

That would be preferable. That would be ideal. If I can produce evidence that these duplicates exist, then you'll at least have the ability to stand up in court and say that there's a chance that it's not you. And the best evidence that we have is that I'm still alive.

Right. Right. You couldn't have killed Jackson King, Jackson King, still walking around. Yeah.

That's kind of lying. Mm. It's not really though. A little bit.

I'm her. It's a meaningful time. I don't have government clearance. I had to know what she had buying those doors.

This is a little weird. Yeah. I know. Look, we can talk it over.

I'll help however you need me to help and I'll leave if you need me to leave. No, we don't want you to leave. But I sense that the team needed help and when dude I had to leave and abandoned her post. I'll have to get into the stuff.

So what's everybody doing now? Standing around looking at each other. That's only me and her right now. Yeah.

I ran out. I don't know if I knew that right now. Okay. That's right.

Okay. Uh, failing some wafer. What are you up to in the house? Uh, he was like, can we put the show back on?

Yeah, I guess there is moments over. Hi, thank you. It's your energy class in the background. So after ever done watching uh, Crystal, Bessless Crystal, X, I got some, I got some uh, got some other shows I want to show up security.

So. Good. Scaredes, I should have said this as a crunchyroll subscription. Yeah.

It's squishy biscuit. Squishy biscuit. She's like, I got, I got lined up like 13 seasons of semen luna. Cheese.

Second. Well, I mean, would I come up with on this one? My mom will take my medicine. Oh, girl, acid jazz.

Ooh. I like it. Cogrel acid jazz. That was a short live series, but it was pretty good.

That's fun. Yeah. All right. So uh, what's going on next?

What's the thing? Phoenix? That is fair. Porch, porch people?

Porch, people. Porch, people now. The people living on the porch? Not leave.

Those on the porch, what are you guys doing? Just catching up, I guess. I mean, I'm just going to wait for a way for her to come out, I guess. And I told them it's a sec.

Yeah. Luke. Family, do you want to go meet Quirry? Sure, I guess.

Okay. Okay. Thinking outside, yes. This is Quirry, Jackson King.

Jackson King, Quirry. Family. You guys have been fighting side by side for like a little bit. What?

Do they look the same? No, they look different. Can you describe Jackson King looks to me? Jackson King, uh, it's like an early 40s African American woman with like a, I don't know.

Like a nice suit on. Yeah, nice. Nice. Nice.

And the person was like a 30 year old white dude. Yeah, so to me, I'm just like, what? Right. This is the super weirdest guys.

Yeah. I mean, you someone ghosts. Yeah. Do you think a Scooby-Doo mask can't be convincing us?

Yeah. I'm going to put my hand out to you and go, um, Rokes by a master of disguise. Hello. I've already worked with you.

I know who you are. I trust you otherwise I wouldn't be here. Okay. But, uh, yeah, I pleasure to formally let me go.

I apologize for the subterfuge. Uh, if I were here with the space on, things would get much more difficult for obscurity. And I'm afraid they've already gotten that difficult. I'm hoping to avoid that altogether.

But here we are in Wolf Cop is breathing down our necks. Uh, Wolf Cop is in a shot. Yeah. She's in the hospital.

Yep. Not breathing very much at all. Ha ha ha. Painting, maybe.

Boom. It's heavy. Oh. Well, anyway, sorry.

The police department is breathing down our necks. We should be careful about where we're moving, where we're seeing. How do we fix this? We find deuce.

Okay. One down. Well, we need, there's one specifically that we need. Although we could try to shake down the others if we'd like.

I don't even know if they're in this dimension, though. There. Yeah, we don't have any way of checking, right? Uh, not really.

Who do we speak to in regards to finding another reality? Here's a question. Your duplicate looks scary. Uh huh.

Should she be in a town this whole time? Did she specify? No, she didn't. I have no idea.

No idea, huh? Well, we know she at least showed up when we were off doing the kidnapping bullshit. Right. Yeah, we got kidnapped, remember.

This side. Yeah, and she was pretending to be stealing money from... She wasn't stealing. She was shaking down.

It's different. Okay. This is right. She was taking money from people.

Right. Well, as far as I know, there's only one way to chase Master of Disguise, and that's you don't. We have to come to you. Unfortunately, all we have is that other obscurity to work with.

Has anybody taken anything on her person, thus any of her prince, tried to look into where she's been spending her time? Because as of right now, it's the only we have. Her prince are my prince, right? Yes.

Her prince are my prince. So, if that's the case, have you retraced any of the crimes of the past couple of months? This seems like it could have been aperally? Yeah, you checked out Jimmy's garage, right?

Yeah. Okay. I can't exactly cask her. I tried.

I don't quite know what to do, it would be Frank. Was the teddy bear stealing shadow world different? Like a different reality? Yeah.

Yeah, it was like a pocket universe. Okay. Yes. And that has not been happening in a long time, so.

Okay. But not connected. Not connected, no. That was a different.

There's like a, yeah, there's a platitude of platitude. There's a plethora of different realities and different planes of existence that aren't exactly alternate reality. Okay. How did we bus into the Negevers last time?

They came up to us. Are you asking me or anybody at the table really? I have no idea. And they were like, kidding, I'm also kidding.

If you, what happened the last time was Miss Media or was the only person that could open a portal between the two? And you used her to get in there. Okay. She was the only person that you knew that could do that.

We don't have her or Miss Media. Yeah. I'm going to see if I can do some research. Okay.

I'll just tell my phone right quick. Can I figure out, um, evil query's name was Inquisition? Yes. Can I figure out where his prison record went?

Uh, he's a prison, right? Yeah. Are you using the Black Knight connections? Yeah.

Or role resources to use. Uh, that's a four. Uh, they were taking that time by Black Knight and then we're going to be used for like, uh, intelligence and stuff like that. And then escaped because they were regarded for a moment.

Okay. So they escaped from like a Black Knight? Yeah. Yeah.

Cause they were going to go through like, they were going to go through like the, uh, like the judicial system or whatever and then government was like, um, or they have secrets and cool shit. So they basically took them off the books and, um, went to like a Black Knight. Were you able to trace where that site is? Uh, yeah.

You could figure out where the site is. Okay. Um, I'm going to do that. I'm going to take note of that very quick.

Um, and I'm going to, are we still sitting around trying to make up plans? Uh, yeah. Nobody said that they're doing anything otherwise. Okay.

I'm going to say, um, I can trace to where inquisition was last held. It's a Black site. Um, and we won't need to worry about clearance. I can walk through pretty easily.

I did have the idea though of perhaps talking to them via Queries website. It's something that they're touching to. Or did you have in mind exactly calling them out? They're anything like me, then they're very sensitive and easy to anger.

Okay. I'm trying to find connections here. I would appreciate any other help, but I think if I perhaps call them out on the website, there's a possibility we catch them there. And in the meantime, I can investigate for whatever they may have left behind on that present.

Okay. I'm happy to work on anything else though. If any of you have any plans, I'm the gate grasher here. No, let's talk.

And we don't have a lot of other good options if the itinerant and mismetior and obfuscate are kind of all in weird places. Okay. I'll start working on that right now and then I can certainly can travel plans to the Black site for anyone that wants to come with. All right.

So you're talking on the website? Yep. I would say everyone else up to you. Can I say I like post a picture and ship of them?

That's fine. Yeah. With everybody else up to you. Thanks.

Are we still in the same room? You're still in the house. Okay. I'm going to try and check down where people read Celeste's location.

Oh, you start doing the thing. Oh, yeah. What? I'm scared.

What are you doing? I'm laying low unless somebody wants me to do something, but I... Saying it out. Can you make some fritters?

Sure. Do I have fritter material? Yeah. Ingredients.

Somebody might have done a shopping run. I think somebody goes to the shopping run or whatever. Okay. Scared.

Cool. Other news to them doing this shopping. Um, let's look go smart. They bring hopes of ghost groceries.

Ghost-ter-ishies. Hey, Dominican. I still have my roast beef. Two pounds of chicken this time.

Okay. Uh, wait, Farrah, what are you doing in the meantime? I guess I'll talk to Akio. Okay.

Akio is there. Okay. Hey. So, someone broke into your place and was fishing around?

Yeah. Somebody was going through my stuff. I got kind of spooked because one of the other people through the program was robbed recently. So, I wonder what they're looking for.

I don't know. I just... I've heard, you know, people are kind of not great with aliens, so I'm just kind of trying to hide with a more powerful one. I mean, I'm not super strong, so.

Yeah. If my government contact reaches out to me, do you want me to tell them that you are here or hide that? That's up to you. I don't know what kind of bridges you want to keep in text.

What's up to you? I'm going to defer to your better judgment. Okay. I mean, technically I was born on Earth, so technically I'm an Earth-Link, so I have all Earth-rights.

So, they can't really arrest me for running away, or like moving, or whatever. Um, but yeah, so I don't know what you want to do as far as that goes. I guess my plan was that I was going to put off contact with them as long as possible and see what happens. All right.

That's what you want to do. Go for it. I mean, if they want me, they will come get me. If they don't hear from them, maybe something similar is going to be happening to me down the road since you lost contact with your government contact, right?

Yes, I do. I guess we'll find out. Okay. I still, again, thank you for helping me out.

Yeah, I hope this works out for you. Me too. All right. Fainlings, roll me a investigate or research or whatever skill you have that's an investigate skill.

Google. None of those. Can I use rapport with the local people? Are you going out and beating the street then?

Sure. You're just going to search on the computer, you're going to beat Street. I was just going to ask, like, the cops, since I'm sure they had to get up here about all the time. Yeah, we're rolling to report.

Three. Yeah, you hear that she's been stopping some local muggings lately. She's back in town. She's back?

Yeah. Oh, I'll go track. Find it. Okay.

You're out searching for query. You make the threatening post. Okay. Basically threatening to expose them, I guess.

Let's see. We'll do that. And then I'm going to figure out what this black side is. How far is it away?

It's across the country, so it's a bit of a track. Okay. I will go to Wayfair if he's still in the base. Yep.

Just apparently matching cartoons with the voting hand. Mealy and Lady. Are you enjoying that? I'm sorry.

It's not my favorite. What do you prefer? More of a music guy. Okay.

I am going to go to the black side that Inquisition was held after they were imprisoned. Search for clues. I forgot to let you know. And if you'd like to come with your welcome, anyone on the team is welcome.

I can have a chat charted here. How do we get around the whole, do you being seen with one of us thing? Kind of blew that. Okay.

So I guess I'll have to be on the open now. Little more willy wonka, little less fat man. How did you blow that exactly? I lost my temper.

I could have stayed in the sportsman, but I looked at you and I realized that I probably didn't have to lie to you anymore. It felt good, so I stopped. It's not a first. No.

It's been a while. I don't blame you. Anyway, I'm going to go clean up and get ready. I'll be out the front door when 15, 20 minutes, I guess.

Okay. I'll go check in with the others. Oh, you're checking in with first. How about feelings?

Feeling is out being street. Are you going to message in via headset? Sure. Gurry asked if I wanted to go to the black side.

I guess I'm letting you know that I'm going to go do that. It's far away. Yeah. Like another comment.

I don't think it's that far, but I think it's probably couple of states over. Okay. So good. I should let you guys know.

And if anything happens, I can fly back. Okay. Have fun beating the street meat. You.

All right. I'll let it be security now that I'm taking off too. Oh, okay. Can you use me at all?

I'm not really in a good here. You're welcome to come with if you'd like. I would like to. There's plenty of room on the job.

Do you want to go instead of me? No, I don't have to go instead of. I just figure I can't really show my face around here. There's not a whole lot I can do.

But if you can use me at all there, I don't know. It's been a while I wouldn't want to check up again. I'm available. You're welcome to come.

I'll be at the front door in 20. Can you take a shower? I smell funny. Menskel and.

Oh, it's just the farm. You think it smells like the what is it? It's not dogwood, but the other plant that's not like semen. Oh no.

White flowering tree. It's awful. Smells like the just tree. Yeah.

Yes, the just tree. This is what I'm trying to think of. We're playing it right next to our plan B garden. We have a sex farm.

Yeah. It's like a time zone. It is a spinal tab song. Okay.
