Hello and welcome to another episode of Amberville City. Here's I am here with four tuna dishes. I have the tuna melt Jane playing phalanx. Ooh, that warm tuna.

We got tuna and relish Shannon playing obscurity. Ew. We've got a tuna roll, Sophie playing wafer. That's an exciting combination of doing my least favorite things.

Great. And now we have the thinly sliced shishimi on this delicious seaweed salad. Jane playing. Better to dead.

I'm a Maguire, everybody. Well, I'm a Maguire too. Apparently it's a holiday for the people. Why couldn't I be a casserole?

You know what? I forgot about tuna casserole because I don't need tuna very much. So if I thought of tuna casserole, I wouldn't have gone to Japanese dishes that are basically a dinnacle. He just stuck me with relish.

I did. And it's pretty much the same as a tuna melt. It's just because tuna melts just have cheese and all that on it. And then you're just kind of the same.

You know, there's a lot of tuna dishes I didn't hit. I should not have gone to dishes like that. You might as well just made me canned tuna. We are a real play based podcast based on some heroes in the SHU universe.

Everyone on this podcast is canonical with this whole universe. How about that one? Would someone like to give us a rundown of what happened on last week's episode of Amberville City Heroes? I think it's traditional regimes.

No, James. Yeah. No, give it to us. I've got some notes.

All right. Let's do it. Dragon murder cleanup is progressing. There's a lot of it.

It's a big dragon. So it takes a few obscurity and wafer heard head back towards the farm because I sounded a little bit she, I guess, because I'm fighting things fight in the Blight, actually, Robo Blight at my farm. Dude, that puts us under a dome. She also gets a nano ship to go in people.

Scooter tries to stop the robot, nats, but they just crawl up their lake. I try to turn on the sprinklers of security glues in her own legs. Wafer tries electricity, but it's just chaos. We are going on a fantastic voyage.

Very exciting. We crash into a robot, you know, and said to crash into one, one being the robot, nano robot thing. And we hack our way in. Dude, dad shuts them down and we get big again.

Scaredy gets new legs with rocket boots. I remember correctly. Wafer talks to do that about feelings, brothers, and fame. Scaredy is visited by Clear, who needs help with getting free out of a jar.

We try to summon Dionysus with booze. We fail. Or did we? Yep, we do.

We fail. Or do we? Or do we? Clif hang.

Alright. Let's get this party stored in. You did it. Or did it.

Alright, so there you are. And Dionysus is there in your living room. He's chugging out a bottle. Nice.

Cheers. Classic Dionysus. Yeah. I'm a shake his hand.

You go to shake his hand and he's like, oh, brother's dough hands. Brothers are hugs. Big old, like, way too close hug. And Nelson's his face between your, like, in the nape of your neck.

Mm, good. He smells like all sorts of wine. He's like, you smell good. Thank you.

And then he backs up. He's like, oh, I'll offer a bunch of people I've never met before. Oh, I'll offer. He puts his arm, like, around your neck.

He's like, I bang anything. And anyone? So offers on the table, ladies and you. Why did we call him?

We need a jar. Oh, yeah, a jar. Oh, he reaches his bag and pulls out a mason jar of moonshine. He's like, one of these bad boys is getting crackin'.

And he cracks it open. Nice. He starts chugging it. Sort of.

Like that, but with something else inside. Oh, one of these, he drops a mason jar full of moonshine on your carpet and then pulls out another one, a little brandy. And then it cracks it open and starts drinking it. Well, these are good.

You know, I like the way you think pretty baby. And he kind of, he boots your nose. Um, I will take a sip of his jar and I will boot his nose back. He's like, I like a feisty.

I like a real hot and feisty. I love the nose here. We're looking for a friend. Oh, you know what?

I'm everybody's friend. Everybody here's my friend. Did you? Keep for getting your name.

Phalanx. That's one. And you over there, uh, Dr. Us, Dr.

Us and him, Daggry and a little pink lady. I am everybody's. I'm everybody's friend. Yep.

And we're missing another friend. We would also like to join the party. Oh, I'm sure. Call him up.

I'm gonna do it. Let me use a bathroom up. You call him up. He goes into your bathroom.

Oh boy. What if he's not he's probably just don't blow They have blow in ancient Rome you think he hasn't adapted To modern times. Oh fair. I guess I was just wondering I'm thinking already.

Oh, I'm like Santa. I just All right, what's the plan to get him to convince to give us the jar tell us where the jar is he's obviously love you on you Yeah, I see that I'm not sign myself up for his suggestions. Maybe don't boop him next time. Yeah, lean on Well, you tell me two different things don't boop him.

We demand I feel like if you lean on he's going to want to have sex with you Yes, that is true. I mean I don't think you can stop it We can we do not have to be here. This is no one escapes the gods the door the bathroom busts open these steps I sure you're totally into the story and then he leans on uh leans leans on family She's like you know what yeah feel free to pop that shirt off. I bet you got some hands in there.

Are you ready? Yeah, boy Oh shit, that's all right. Good thing. I got good physique Actually, you know what this one's a fake point Goddamn it well, it's better three so you pop your shirt off.

Oh god. Yeah. All right. He's like we got oil oil We got olive oil all up in this pitch.

Fuck is that your kitchen? Okay, so he goes to your kitchen All right, so he's right for your kitchen. Oh, I'm gonna drink more one. Oh Boy boys Have you guys know party like this before I'm gonna go get way fair Is way fair wanting on this no, but I'm worried.

No, I'm gonna down another glass something Dionysus yeah, he walks back in the room with one thing of olive oil and I don't think of vegetable oil And he's like I don't mind a blend Nice it's clear around You I don't see clear wait they were here previously though. Yes, but you do know clear has invisibility powers. Yeah, probably Okay, I don't mind a blend and he pops both of the things off Just squirting them on to uh feelings covering feelings and I was like I you know Anybody else wants to boil all this you know well, it's what enjoy this. Hmm our friend I'm sure you might have a telephone call them up bigger the better the party the best doesn't have her phone you have is a shame You get I'm got people you got a sky you might know where she is oh What does that mean you've met her before I'm sure that a lot of people I've been around a long time like over here mr.

Shield of Miss Maximus I met him a number of times. Yeah, this is first time you let me oil him up and I'm pretty excited Yeah, that's totally gonna happen, but first you have anybody in a jar by chance. Oh, yeah a couple people in jars Oh, gosh, okay, well when people when people get real that's kind of I go to When when do you let them out what when do you let them out? Oh?

I don't really have a rule of thumb. Where's that goes? Whatever. What if they want to join the party?

Should have been putting the jar then it's kind of their fault this point There's always a new party. Yeah always a new party. I mean there's what seven billion people on this earth and I haven't been Amal yet. I mean It's gonna be a long time so desperate enough to fuck a jar person you ever banged a cloud Yeah, baby.

I'll try if you Don't wear it. Just don't I mean hey hey everybody calm down will be alright doctor dude You're able to find a wafer watching Basil this crystal X It's our most reliable TV shots. Oh shit. This is a new episode.

I don't know it takes so long to do anything guys still yelling huh? Yeah So anyway obscurity and failings may be agreeing to have sex with Dionysus. I'm a little concerned because I think he's got a magic wine And they're drinking it You there okay, I'm not drinking and it doesn't work on my brain anyway, but I don't really know honey and this stuff works, but my understanding is that there's consent and I'm worried that like a magic god of debauchery may be converting our Friends into his disciples because he's also the god of madness and cults. Oh So let's go like all right.

Let's take a look. See you just make sure our guys are okay our friends I look I wouldn't ask you if I didn't have to you know that yeah, just not delighted about this whole situation I wish to respect the sanctity of cartoons Okay, but like I need you I really do okay fine. I'll go get up and I'll go see what weird shit is happening in the other room All right, so you got you do that you go to the other room as well I mean yeah, but I'm next to wayfare and extremely close He he sees you will come in and he's like do datus man why bring a nark to the party You know you and I were on the same on the same side when Zippotek toe was like, you know doctor do this and like oh Person's kind of an archiboy and I mean You're proving me right my own team now. Am I a fucking team.

Oh, yeah fuck. It's going to make a dress out here Oh, yeah, he's not going to want too many of us in the room you I'm just saying you sign up with with the tatto Tiptoe tiptoe tung tiptoe tungus and he was like you know, huh? Go have sex with him if you like him so much what tiptoe tung uh, well, you know, no thanks, and they're done that Okay, I was on for no longer reasons wait like you gotta be yes, I'll be in a dark No, I fucking hate the cops. It's just I don't want you to like kill my friends with magic wine That's all that's all dude if I was gonna kill your friends with magic wine I would have done it by now well You'd probably try to convince them to have sex first especially because like she's on a different team He's on a different team and like you're the only one here that I actually have to protect I could everyone in this room and in the end I mean I'd be better off for it You look over at obscurity and failing since the other thing Yeah, I mean, you know what?

Yeah, this is party sucks What do you want you? I was brought me here to either fuck or drink or something and then you like you seem like you're not like everyone's relatively hesitant to fuck it Except for this guy except for this this boy over here. I'm oiling up. He seems all he seems DTF down with it everybody else it seems all real weird all sketchy kind of I don't want to get anybody's you know Personal widgets at the moment.

Um, what do you want? I want my friend out of the jar has so many jars Gitch I have so many jars. What do you want? She wants the gaseous one?

Yeah? Oh, that's my herald What that's your herald chapter on heralding John. She was revealed a real bitch So like she's like, okay, yeah, I hope you sounds good And then she got all mouth years like I want out of the deal and I'm like you can't really do actually I'm not gonna help you. I'm like all right.

Well, then you're gonna live in a jar till you fucking calm down Maybe she's calm down now. Can you not find another herald? You know like once you what's you find one? Yeah, but something you don't want her well I do I want to calm the fuck down Why she your herald cuz they did this whole thing where they got their boss fucking taken over by death god and They were in some trouble So I stepped in and I was like, oh yeah, if one of you fucking turns my side and then they didn't know we know anybody who's really into part Part partying me.

I mean like here on earth right. I'm right here. That could be your herald. Yeah, that would be a better fit You know a lot of people go for that whole like is gotta be thematic.

I'm like, whatever I'm just looking for useful and cute works Cute useful. So here's the thing I'm on a team with you and we're down one person not down She's in a jar I you know our other friend the air elemental who's also our team is currently holding on to her for me Okay, well see I was gonna ask if you want to go drinking competition, but well, I mean I always want to do that But I mean you don't got it. You don't got her here. So yeah, I don't Why are you in this fight and begin with what fight the god war thingy my boss?

I'm open so the you know I'm tight guy nature's cool. Just buddies. Yeah, you know you make some friends Persephone He's always been kind of a friend of mine and yeah Yeah, so like and the whole like he was a real shitty about nature and like I might be about drink crazies hanging out partying I'm also about you know like nature going out in the woods and fucking by a bonfire That's real hard when you make everything into a goddamn city True, so you know like when y'all can figure out how to make everything cool like fuck a by bonfire Maybe I won't want to go happy me What's what you know your saver no I don't Educate me that's between you and your boy between you and your You boy, I don't you know If you want if you want free you know fucking go find the air elemental go You know convince her I panicked I put her in a jar. It's what I do.

Okay. I mean yeah All right, bye Party rages. There's no wine to drink there. There's a nightclub somewhere where I can dance real hot and sweaty next to something I've got X cons who would love you right and it's there's four of you one of you Oh, we'll use a robot and the other one This is alien with some weird energy and the other two see like Felix leaves like he's leaving me on and the obscurity does not seem like she's ETF so like this party fucking blows He was letting you oil him up.

I know but I mean a lot of bodybuilders let me do the same thing and at the end of the day They just want to talk about the glutes My glutes are epic but boy. Do I know it? I mean you can touch it. I will uh but the point is The point is I don't like okay, so I told you where she is anything else.

I find the air elemental Uh she usually hangs out in um lapis lapis harbor where she usually okay. I know what's going on with You do yeah, yeah, she's on that team and she I don't know shit about teams. She's told me I was up yours You say keep talking about them. Oh, yeah, okay.

Bye. Okay. Bye. Don't you guys?

You didn't even get a kiss out of that. Hey, at least we didn't get turned into dolphins. There's bullshit. Was there a risk of this?

Oh god, yes You have no clue. Why the fuck did you say to this guy? He just came in eight hours for 20 minutes. Well, we got lucky Alright, so uh a free reappear so he's like thanks for the information.

I guess I'm gonna go kill an air elemental Whoa, whoa, why are you killing? I'm gonna kill an air elemental figure out a fucking way. I'll reach another chest and no Air chest. Well, well, she's not looking.

I'm invisible like I turned tangible so I'll reach my tangible hand through her chest air She's not always air. Well, should I sell it to you? Maybe I don't find out some way There's come backs, but there's come backs for hire like it doesn't seem like from the reaction of hand gonna kill somebody From the mood of the room. I don't think anybody here's gonna be real cool with that Well, no because we think we can get her to you without killing anybody, but I'm real mad.

Yeah, okay Yeah, who you met it free? Oh She's my partner. Why would be met at her because she got captured. That's not her fault Okay, listen, there's no need to make this even uglier than it already is There's a what if I like it real ugly?

Well, just pull your jets I guess like if you kill the air elemental die lysos is still out there and he can just show up and put your ass in charge Like he's a god. He didn't he can go where he wants. I mean you're invisible, but he knew you were there You heard him right. All right.

So your your whole suggestion is me not doing anything So what is your actual plan? No, no, my suggestion should do something other than kill people like chances are we can either steal it from her or we can convince her to give it to Well, then I'll go steal it from just do what you usually do without killing people. I always go people Well, don't do it this time. It's guys got like a high score.

So yeah, look We wanted to help rescue her. She's in a terrible position. It's just you know gang war breaks out or why are we rescuing her? That's awesome.

You know, I mean, I know why obscurity is rescuing her. Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, it's good. You and I worship the same Yeah, we're both I'm saying so that's not why I'm trying to help you get your friend back We're blood we're blood now.

I mean we're part of the same. That's not why I'm helping. Yeah, totally I mean all the rest of you are pretty much the enemy and you have scared you're Stop it. Stop.

Stop. I'm really listening to you. All right, so I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go shush him again Bingerto the face.

All right. Well, then you know what I'm out of here. I'm gonna take care of it Thanks for the intel. Stop wait.

What I'm leaving. I'm going and doing my thing You don't have to be responsible for me right now. Yeah, but if you're gonna go murder somebody we kind of are ever we just helped you All right, well, I'm gonna tell you I'm not I'm gonna try your thing first stealing or whatever and then if it fails Uh plain b no no killing. Okay.

I brought us. You're just a lying. Okay. Stop lying He turns invisible So we go to lapis or I don't know Should we I have no idea who's this error elemental do we know there's one around?

I'm sure there's been a lady being seen with some wind powers around like this recently But I mean that's about it the intel is not much better than that. Do you think we can get to her first? No, oh, but the thing is I don't think I don't think he could she's an elemental which has to see if I'm a fight Is he still in a visible guy, right? You can go in town in tangible.

Oh, oh, yeah, she's she's in trouble I don't know. I mean she'll just turn in the air and he'll just go intangible and notice be a I mean, I don't know in situation for either It sounds like everybody's getting real geared up over their god teams and shit and I don't get that at all But it keeps coming up over and over again. I didn't know there were teams Me neither. No, and apparently we joined one obscurity.

Yep. Not the same one. I guess I want to kill half the god damn people on the earth. You heard him right.

That's what he wants. Yeah What do you what does your one want? Mike my god? Yeah, she wants me to make unique and individual things Sounds a little better.

Yeah Fairbanks We're just gonna win the war There's a war now like oh, yeah when there's teams Oh, fuck there's gonna be a battle Sounds like you guys are all up a shit creek. You'll be there soon enough buddy. Yeah, no, no You saw what happened to me. I'm not looking to pick a team, but they tried to kill me What makes you think they won't come after you?

I am and I do my best to stay out of this shit because I do not understand it It's not my culture and I do not want to be involved in it. It doesn't matter. They'll find a way Dude, don't say that. I'm just I know how they work Oh, some fate has probably got some god sponsoring them and you have to do the opposite and then that's all they'll get you at stupid We can beat them like it.

I mean we're screwed now. We have time. We can be gods All of them. Yeah, I like mine.

She's nice. They're gonna be busy fighting each other We have to look out for the people here on planet earth I don't give a shit about these gods But if they're gonna be threatening them any people who the hell else is gonna stand up and fight everybody else just joining a team I refuse I'm gonna play along with that shit A little bigger than that. I mean there's cults and followers and priesthoods I'm not like a billion of us. Yeah Come in whether we like it or not.

Well, then we have to decide if we are on three separate teams then Oh, no, well We are but The gods think we are yeah, and I'm a little worried that they're gonna you know Try to rip us apart. Yeah, let's just step your guy from like, I don't know releasing some crazy s-buy or something like Literally nothing would stop him and like you saw what happened with my brother That's why I know how to handle this guy can create shit out of thin air You know we could lose hundreds of thousands of people. That's a little small scale actually. Well, that's what we could manage Anything after that and it's full heat bath Alright, so what is your plan of action?

I'll go where you go if we want to go prevent Uh this guy from killing the elemental. Let's go do it. What do we gain by that? A person not being murdered.

Is this a good person or a person? I think that's a person to sign We have the knowledge that this is gonna happen. We can sit on our hands. You want us to save a villain if it's a villain Yeah, isn't that way we put him in jail instead of cutting their heads off in another city shouldn't we just call their hero department?

That's the city that got flat in six months ago. They got like one guy out there and he's a lunatic Um, they actually have a couple they have frosty cap. Oh, that's right. Oh, I guess yeah, they do have frosty cap scat Come on We can at least call a crossy cop and let him know I guess that would make me feel better So that where you just sold your uh I just rebuilt half the city out of my own pocket, but nice.

Well, then we should defend your interests No, it's not about my interests. It's about all the people over there He's only gonna go kill one person one person is too many people and it's not even a person It's an error elemental they can think and breathe their own person I don't know. I don't know why we're debating whether or not this guy should kill someone. We should do anything Is a different story and contemplate whether error elementals actually breathe or not All right, you contemplate that uh, so not doing it.

Are you calling frosty cap? Yes, I am. All right. You call frosty cap Hello frosty cop.

Hi frosty cop. It's uh, Izzy from amberville. We we met up a couple months ago in like this Oh, yeah, you're uh, you're scared. He's right.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, we put you on Greg's friend. You know, we did some stuff.

Oh, yeah, I know Greg Yeah, so um anyway, we got word that we might have a super villain trying to get hit on another super villain in your town Oh, well, thanks for the heads up. What do we got going on? Well, you know clear from free clear? Uh, Yes, okay, so essentially they're too like prison escapars, right?

Um, and the There's some group in lapis some group operating out of lapis with an air elemental like s or a wind person or something Um and that wind person has clears partner Hit me, you know, kidnapped in a jar or something. So I think it'll be like a blood feud thing and that might get ugly Right. Well, I can call in some uh some help and I can uh, they can uh take care of that Also, I just let you guys know I think one of your local boys here is in uh, icu Um if you're interested in Becoming visiting him or bringing it back or well, who is this? Hold on.

I gotta Uh, come here the last, you know, known location was in here. Hold on. Uh, dark blades. Oh, why?

He's all he's like all sorts of fucked up and icu Like i'm gonna fucked up like like hurt. Yes very badly like, uh, kind of critical condition style like like we were there with cv and it seems like he You know was pretty active in amberville like a year or two ago and they kind of went off the map But he sprung back up and he uh, he met with the wrong end of another vigilante here who we've been trying to Kind of bring in so um, it's gonna be busy. Yeah, we're talking about your friends. Uh, My friend.

He's a he's a murderer. I didn't know about no ideas about that I just know that he was real close friends with the security and gravity girl And uh, he's here in the icu if you want to come visit him Uh, we could probably because he doesn't really have family or next again We can kind of maybe we could ship him over to amberville hospital if you'd rather He'd be there. I mean, i'm sure he's fine where he is But like, you know, if anything comes up or you need any help or you want us to pick him off your hands I will happily put it in one of my clinics. All right.

Okay. Cool. Yeah, I mean that's up to you I mean right now we're just kind of taking care of him but uh Just to me just if you think so, I'm gonna try to finish the job It's just yeah, you'd let gravity girl and i'm scared. You know that their friend is in the hospital and um Gray girls gone and obscurity is well.

I don't know how rapid she is with dark blades, right? Well, you know, okay. All right. Um, yeah, just let us uh, let us know.

Thank you for something I appreciate it. People haven't really been visiting him and I feel bad I mean he is kind of comatose at the moment, but uh, you know, I'm kind of You're gonna plug the tugs of my heartstrings, you know, isn't he the guy with knives on his hands to stabs people? Yeah, but you know what just because just because he's a dick doesn't mean I have to be a dick too. Well, that's fair I just um, I want to make sure we're talking about right now.

Yeah, yeah, he has knives on his hands Well, he did somebody stole him when he came in but you know, ooh, okay Well, I mean look, I don't want to see the guy dead or anything. It's just yeah, and I mean also you know, maybe some Tendercare people come to visit hospital make him rethink his ways. Maybe he'll be better person afterwards Oh, it's not actually a bad idea frosty dog. Yeah, do you want you want me to hella shop her?

I'm over In reveal. Oh, yeah, that might be safe anyway, and if he's our business to take care of I'll take care of him Okay, I can I can have that happen. Excellent. All right.

Bye. Bye. Bye I'll uh, relay that to obscurity right quick. Oh gosh, that's awful.

I mean, I know He likes to cause some trouble sometimes, but apparently he stabs people Yeah, yeah, he doesn't always make the best decisions Look at frosty caught me at a good point. If you know that guy, you know, he's laid up He's in critical condition. Maybe even come talk to him Look, nobody's a miracle worker, but you're really smart and kind and that might convince him to put the goddamn swords down I mean, it's worth a shot. I mean, I definitely go visit him.

Yeah, well, I think he's getting flown into amberville So I can take care of him, but yeah, let's we can do that if you'd like okay Yeah, let me know keep me updated sure thing unless anyone has something to do right away We're gonna go pass a little bit of time. So anybody have anything we're doing immediately no a links No Wayfarer I gotta check the TV and see if that guy is still yelling. Oh, yeah, of course It's like three episodes later in still yelling. Oh shit.

I'll go read him books Okay, uh, you go read them books. Do you you just go in about your normal business patrolling and such feelings sure Uh, waferr are you doing anything out of the ordinary or whatever? Uh try to reach the government contact again just because you get no answer It's still bad.

I guess while I'm at it. I would like to check on the object in the sky All right, it's it's still getting closer. It's still pretty far away, but it's still getting closer Cool. Good.

All right Anything else in the news about boson beta and friends Uh, no, uh cacophony has done a few attacks on like satellite arrays or whatnot But people have started beefing up defenses because of them. So he's kind of being hunted now that he's done this so much So it's slowed down a bit. Okay. Um, that seems like it news One thing in the news is the band tiny compass is playing a big concert in your town.

What kind of music? Uh, they play rock and roll music. I don't know her It's it's a band that's like relatively new. It's like they only have like one album and ep But like they've kind of hit it really big and the news seems to be very excited that they're coming down Are they like lo-fi?

Uh, sure That's not what that means. Uh, yeah, they're uh, they're they're real popular Everyone like it's really hard to find bad reviews of them online Like almost impossible. It's kind of suspicious. I will go to make sure everything goes smoothly Okay, go to the tiny compass concert.

Is it inside or outside venue? It is outside because they are headlining the christanthemum festival. Oh, yay Nice. That's a callback from episode three.

I mean I'm quickly quickly quickly paced Going back there while I'm gonna try to call the other people on my my headset. Okay, your headset seems static You cannot get through okay. Um, I'm gonna see if I can I don't see if I can enlist the help of right girl. All right as you're running towards riot girl player teleports in front of you using one of her spells And she says you cannot flee our mom and she zaps at you With a four you can roll athletics to dodge.

I got a three Okay, uh you you take one from her medic blaisht And it seems like she's trying to blast you the way to get to right girl. Oh, that's not cool Is right girl within shouting the sense? Yes. I'm going to shatter Are you going to shout riot girl there's somebody after you that that's all you say she has magic Okay, are you shout that right girl kind of uh she tips over the table hops over the fence and starts running away from both of you And as that happens blare who has not called herself out of him She whirls her hand in the air and she says we are all and the like portal opens up in front of riot girl and a large It's a 12-foot tall hulking monster with a giant maw on its chest comes falling out Um roll a lure for me Negative too.

You have never seen something that's horrifying It's got like weird claw hands and a big weird face and it's like it's like this huge weird Hulking disgusting monster with a maw down its front It's also has like these huge veins are like pulsing and like kind of covered in eyes So it falls down in front of her and like that's not like a horrifying roar And then we're going to cut over to Uh a wayfarer Yep, uh so you're patrolling around you're patrolling around where the the festival isn't so you're a little bit outside of the area Rolian notice beats Um, that's it too. Okay, so uh you're you're patrolling an area it seems relatively desolate Like this this part of town like even more quiet than you'd expect Um and you see a man on a bench She's like an elderly elderly black man sitting on a bench. She's got a it's got a walking stick Um and he seems to be watching you and you seem instantly like your attention has been drawn to him Okay, I'll just keep going and patrolling. All right.

Um It seemed like however you've planned to keep controlling you keep circling back to this area and seeing the same thing Okay, I'll go over the bench and uh as somebody wants I just want to give you the gift knowledge No, no, I don't want that Okay, well, I can't force you to do anything and I wouldn't ask you to do something you didn't want to do But I will let you know That your obsidence and your Your inability to join something that's going to happen anyway is only going to make things harder for the people that you care about If you don't join you don't pick a side Things will be bad. I've seen the futures I've seen eight distinct futures and all of them that you are not in is a tragedy A tragedy for everyone. I will let you approach me if you decide to do anything with that But if you don't then there's nothing I can do Why am I so important to this? Every butterfly is important.

If you believe grass every drop of rain every wave in the ocean makes a difference on the future It's not necessarily that you're the most special wave but you're one that shifts the tides What is this bad feature that you're talking about? Well, there's a number of pantyons trying to divide for power and all of them Focused on the wrong things not protecting future not protecting people not There's all for selfish means gods are as selfish and petty as humans and they have no foresight So if we decide to not help the ones that are trying to make a difference and the ones that are doing it for their own petty reasons Will have the strength Just the thing that I'm thinking here after hearing about is that every guy that has approached my friends in this way has reassured them Into many words that they've got the solution and that they are truly on the right side of things It sounds kind of like you're selling me the same deal as everyone else Yeah, don't don't trust anybody where all liars all I can say is I'm trying to mitigate damage and there's only so much I can do if you don't if you truly don't want to be part of it I can try to buy for one of the other futures. That's Could be I don't know less damaging but blood will spill and just trying to keep as much of it off of the ground as possible So do with that what you will thank you for your time and these things are supposed to walk away Question Yes, what's the knowledge that you're promising me here Is it something to do with helping people? I believe so, but I mean i'm just as flawed and as all the rest of them I don't think myself higher or special I just have gifts like you have gifts over the other mortals on this plane and I just want to use them for the best of my ability to help people I want the best outcome and I I think you are a method by which that may happen What's your name?

I'm all over room. I freaking right? Yes. I can't remember you Hallopony when you speak.

I'll give you time to think and he walks away. Okay At the concert. Yeah. Yeah, you guys are uh, you guys are listening to music.

We're gonna cut back to Uh back to obscurity the uh Ria girl has now split into multiple people to face down who you you were guessing his name is Quiaro Uh because that's what Blair not calling herself araman has said and what do you do?

I am going to go invisible. Okay, and intangible if I may okay I'm gonna try to stun gun player go for it. Give it a five All right, you you stun gun uh flare flare flare. Um, she seems to be getting stun gun Is it holding her?

Uh, it is stopping her turn. Yes. She is stun gun for a turn on who your rose turn the the great big maw Snaps and eats about six of the riot girls and his claw grabs another one like like impales her through the stomach and lifts her up And then he jams like some sort of weird glowing crystal into her face and then Riot girls skin against a pulsate and like turn a weird grayish pale And that is where we will leave this episode of ambriful city heroes.
