Oh, and welcome to another episode of Generation Justice, this beautiful lunch sandwich served to you raw today We have some funky teens ready to fill your bellies. We have jelly Matthew playing Frank. Oh, okay We have jam Matty playing And we have Carry We have sweet sweet preserves mark strawberry jam and all that And and we have a delicious almond butter's Playing cake non better than peanut butter, but much more oily. Yeah, delicious Would one of our beautiful preserves like to tell us what's what happened on the last episode of Generation Justice I know that we made a lovely lad named Dean who works in the locker place.

These are all my notes exactly Fiona got Dean's number and a shift log You know how to she'll back be on a cool soft thing would face pink would visit My notes are terrible That's no I got more pages. I don't know if you want me to continue So let's just do a quick reminder what happens at the end What was the cliff hanger the teens broke into our industries and discovered that it's a front front underground bug empire and Asian Zed tells Frank he's a scorpion man that can turn human, but not the other way around He's part of a peace tree between the surface and the under bugs then the assassin bug kills agent Zed No, he didn't kill him. I'm trying to heal him. Yeah, but no not kills incapacitated.

I wrote down in there It's the rude dog Vida, which is some way of saying That's the it's a taxonomic nomenclature Rude of the day. I'm sorry. Also. We have a mibs situation for those of you don't know what moves is it's men in business huge situation I know that or Frank with full conspiracy theory because he's always boss get murdered I remember at one point.

We found six wood fixes seven cards made of wood. Okay. Oh, we went into M's room Yeah, so Fiona broke into M's room and it's very empty safe for I think these few little wooden cards and no Did Gavin break in or did you break in I work a lot? Yeah, okay, how's that to do with maximum?

I just man it yes, so add the cliffhanger Rude of the day or the assassin bug has confronted the group and he threw spear into agents that who carry is attempting to heal correct Yes, okay, so that is where we'll pick up a root of a day is in front of y'all Frank has turned into a giant bug monster correct. Did I yes you did and I guess I did I didn't put that in my notes I'm trying to lost the shit. Yeah, you became bug monster and you started screeching and squealing Rude of the day screeches and squeals back and you understand what he's saying is he speaking bug language at you my native tongue Yep, he speaks bug language at you and he says that your days are numbered I Screech and squeal back. I don't necessarily know what I'm saying.

I think or maybe I do I say things like Alright, so he's just kind of standing there like he's taking a defensive position currently with anybody gonna do That's it Adam, okay Let's not kill each other please. I look I like we can't kill him can we because that dude who's like dead on the floor So that's that I'm healing him Alex. I got a plus six to shoot. Okay, you shoot acid Adam It's it's it's very good.

Yeah, he gets he doesn't move and he gets blasted blasted with your venom He stumbles back a bit and then he says in his buzz and clicks He's like okay. He has to make a physique role to prevent being poisoned. Ha he says years of living with your people You don't think I've developed some sort of immunity to this I kind of saw that one coming Yeah, thank you's acid. It's not very effective.

I look at the guy He's just making weird buzzes and clicks and screeches so you don't know Just punch him in the head. I'm going out with me. I punch him in the head. You're gonna run up to him He's gonna follow me run up to him I'm about to shoulder tackle him then I fake out and I like punch him in the head.

All right try to roll a punch Okay, he dodges your punch. Carrie. What are you doing? I'm still trying to make sure that Zad doesn't die Okay, the role for my heels sure when give me give me some sort of healing rule that is a three You're starting to heal him as you're doing that Gavin and cate are also about to take action when up from the floor Shaddowy tentacles wrap them up and suck them to the ground those two are sucked into the ground Gesture all right, so that's all of your turn root of your ignores Fiona and charges at Frank with his shit and dagger He and attack it's a five to he leaves in the air with his dagger and tries to stab you in the back All right.

Oh well, that's a minus two on the dice. So that is a zero and so he got five So he hits you for five and your arm reduces damage Yeah, yeah So he jumps on your back and stabs you with a chit and dagger and we we're just gonna go by that turn order So we're gonna go back up to top Frank it is your turn I would like to spend a big point and use monster screech. I will roll a provoke against him It's a plus two okay. What is that?

What does the provoke do? That causes mental damage and victims will fail a will check are unable to move on their next turn Okay, it seems like he is mildly affected by this Fiona is your turn cool I will draw my sword and run back up and I'll spend a big point to activate a scale I haven't used in a long while call you'll have to stop me first they get a minus you to hit others and I have a plus to defend against them. So I'm taking right now him Okay, so you're like you're trying to draw a girl try to draw a girl against him Okay, so he'll have a minus two if he tries to hit and you won but me okay, so are you jumping up on top of Frank as well? You know, I like it Frank I'm really I don't understand me, but I'm just gonna jump up behind you and try to pick the hits So he doesn't hit you as much as you die more people come up or when the humans go down you will come no no no I'm saying that I'm saying that because based on my recollection of what happened last episode Matthew is saying I think what happens is that the people go down If you don't understand that because he's saying it's bug screech no Matthew is saying that okay No, the tree was the bug people want to invade Canada and the tree was to prevent a war So if the tree is broken the bug people will try to invade Canada.

Yes people wouldn't go down if I died So if the dude just kills himself the bug people come up so if you're doing that Let's you turn it to draw his aggro. Yeah, the drawing Okay, so he gets a negative to hit others, okay, so then carry it is your turn if you tap one of your aspects You can get a plus two right yeah I'm gonna spend a face point to tap my aspect I feel this blank cat and I'm going to run up to where Frank is and I'm going to try to make a chain of lights to hold the Assassin bugs arms behind your back so then can't defend themselves with an eight roll a notice Plus one as you're like blasting your light out Luke speeds into the way and part of your light hits his shoulder And a part of him that's like covered in boogie like kind of blasts off So you see his actual arm and then it like it starts to slowly like fade back after your light after he takes a hit of your light What are you doing here annoying you and this if you want to you can kill me? You know your flight can kill me just hit me with it and I'll fall apart Why would I want to kill you if you don't then I know that there's I know that this is possible another this can still happen I know there's still something This is not the time to be having this conversation This is exactly the time to be having this conversation you see the giant eight-foot beetle or squirp you I'm I concerned my concern is you Boy we're gonna go to Rude V-Day Rude V-Day he takes out like a small pouch and he slams it against the ground and a big poof dust kind of fills the air around Fiona and Frank and then he's also going to attack Fiona who he got the one plus four on the deck he got a nine day Yeah, I got a plus seven all right, so he hits you for two cool after Rude V-Day's turn Frank is your turn Yeah, the end of the end of the end my back is probably gonna try to help you buddy I'm gonna try and grapple Rude V-Day. All right, make a make a fight roll I haven't I haven't in my claws and because of my stuns grab and sting.

I would also like to try and sting him with a fight That's not great. That's up. Let's do who you actually do grapple him. We're able to get you to have to sting The sting does hit him but his chin armor kind of defends against it a bit I'm so you're not able to get through that dang all right.

We're gonna move on to Fiona Fiona make a physique roll This is in both strength anyway, okay, I'm just checking that is a what's it you aren't damaged by it yet But staying in this cloud you start coughing and choking like whatever whatever it is you spread around this area seems not great to be in Frank you're gonna have to move us. I so what do you do for your turn Fiona? I want to move out of the cloud, but I don't want to move away from my glory. Well, he has a minus He has a minus two to hit Frank first time so worse.

I'll move out from my So it's all around Frank. I go whirlwind. Okay. Yes, the cloud is quite good So I can't just climb up on his claw.

Can I know okay? That was my thinking I'm gonna climb down off of Frank I'm gonna do a stick back flip climbing down off the Frank. This why not you're gonna get out of the cloud. Yeah, I don't want to get poisoned Okay, they just suck it out of the cloud They're just like another cloud Alright, is that how you're doing is moving out of the cloud?

I mean how close is rude to me? He's he's in my claws. Yeah, he's in the clock like you if you're on Frank's back He's really close if you move out of the cloud. He's not close at all and move or hit move I'm gonna move and see what happens right now.

So you move out of the cloud. It's your turn Lucas standing in front of you He's saying just shoot me and end it now to all be over You know why is that a second time somebody's done that to me recently just kill him? No, I refuse to kill you if you want to have this conversation We can have this conversation, but I've told you once before that you do not get to come before my team And that I'm going to try to shoot light at the assassin bug. Okay, roll the shoe over over Luke said you have you have a negative Two because it's hard to see to the cloud Well, yeah, that's a five you roll the five and the beam goes wide through the cloud.

Yes. Yes, you're against that You don't like that you don't like that. So I did was I took Evan I'm gonna show you who he is somewhere now He's gonna show you who he is he's gonna show us two colors Black and blue Part of you is still in there, but I want to talk to Luke not to boogie. Hey, man.

We are Luke. We're both we're speed demon We're together. We're one. No, you're not because the Luke I know wouldn't do this kind of stuff It is a root of you days turn or assassin bug assassin bug He is in your claws Frank.

He takes a dagger and he starts jamming it into like between one of the crevices of your claws to get to the Undermeats me he gets a four against different fight. Yes, it is a two Okay, so he's digging into your under me and you with some two dim jags And then we're gonna go up to Frank. I will scuttle out of the the cloud with the root of you day in my in my hands My my meaty claw hands. I want to try and like slam him on the ground.

Is that is that a fight? Or is that a okay? Yeah, yeah any any combat this close combat is fight anything ranged is shoot But if you defend against Rangers athletics, so that's what I used physique for you know is like the backbone of my Physic increases your the hit points you have and you can take like if you're like a big bruiser guy You can take a don't that lets you use physique instead of fighting some situations Why I have four Because the higher your physique the more stress boxes you get if you have one or two you get an extra stress box You get the three box if you have it at three or four you get the four stress box it's enough So by default, I don't normally have the three stress not by default No physique if you have physique in one or two you get that you get physique in one or two you get that stress box And if you have physique in three or four you get that I'm taking my character sheets appropriately And if you're well as high you get mental ones, so so I got a two on the plate to slam on the ground Yeah, all right, you time to slam on the ground he maneuvers, so it doesn't seem like he takes much damage from that Okay, is he on the ground right now? He is in Frank's claws.

I think Frank like slammed him down But he did let go right correct. He's kind of like trying to slam him like a rattle Yeah, just trying to beat him on to the ground. It is your turn. Yeah, I just want to see if I could hate him without climbing on Frank again I think it's more like he's like still on his feet like he was able to because he rolled a good fight that he's like yeah He's still in my cause I wasn't able to like break his balance.

So he's still able to she get like a bonus for him being No, no, she's flanking him. Yeah, okay. I got a close five to that It's funny. Just stop right now.

You're gonna get your bunch on Frank today. You hit him in armor Seems like it takes a little bit damage. Here. It is your turn.

Yeah, we can still there. Yeah, he's in directly in front of you All right I'm going to lean forward grab ahold of him and pull him just like an inch within my face If you love me, let me go walk away and I will talk to you This is your last one and I want to try and provoke him into leaving right? Oh, that's a plus four he On his turn he doesn't ult away. He's just kind of standing there and he says your words are hollow Your love is too strong.

You would never harm me I think I had to do this without like okay there. I can't do anything else on my turn I want to kill this guy. He doesn't know yeah, you were all the provoke so yeah, he's still he's still standing I'm standing in front of you and he keeps saying you'll see who he is. He's not the person you think you talk about that kind of stuff You're not the person I thought you were you lied to me at least Gavin's never done that oh, but he has Nobody has no idea.

You have no idea just because you haven't found the lies doesn't mean they aren't there Yeah, well if I find them and I leave them what makes you think I'm going back to you Maybe I'll just be done you find out what kind of murderer he really is like you like you the drug you know the drug He's a robber. I don't know what else he did with Kendra never murder. I wasn't a serial murderer like your boyfriend My boyfriend all right. We're gonna go to the viday now that Fiona is a close Rude of the day takes one of his spears and tries to a stab a fion He's a five No, he's throwing this beer.

Oh, that is a plus five. Okay. You are able to defend against his throwing a spear Catch it you catch it. Sure.

Why not athletics roll me Fine. No, that's fine. You can catch it Okay, I mean you're able to catch us not that big of a deal. Okay, Frank.

How does your poison working up? You have to make a physique role to prevent for being poison. I don't know it being poison demeans in this game So I'll make a physique role. You know that's the tip.

No, it's me. I got a plus one. Okay. You have been okay What should I mark out poison?

Oh, I'm working for you. Well, this is awesome Oh, okay, so Frank it is your turn. Is he still in my class? Yeah, yes Russian It'd be a physique They're the same number so suppose to I would like use fight or physique Okay, plus do he rolled enough you start to try squeeze them he takes one of his spears off his back javelin spears And that kind of wedges it in your claw to stop you from squeezing too much so he prevents that Fiona make a physical I minus one I got a zero you're feeling a little bit weaker and it's your turn.

Oh fuck. I I So I'm gonna do is I'm going to try to I got a You hit him and he takes a bit of damage carry it is your turn I'm gonna look at Lincoln if you think that I'm Throw him across the room. I'm gonna run over to Fiona so that I can try and how are you throwing him across the roof? I'm sure you're holding it like weird shadow go I'm gonna go by the go You're gonna attempt to throw him like I use an attack or you just got pushing away I just want him out of the way because Fiona's hurt and here.

You can't really kill anything So I'm trying to like be a good healer. Okay, so you're gonna like trying to push him away You're not really throwing him across now. Just like just get out of the way I picked Fiona once over you You don't think I'll do it again. Okay, so you're gonna run over to Fiona?

Yes, and I would like to spend my second place quite to activate my strength as your strength so that Fiona I take Okay, you do that the Ruby days term he is going to roll a fight to get out of the claw He rolled a six to get out of the claw, but what am I role? You roll a fight to try to keep him held not a six Okay, he's able to like use the leverage with the spirit gun under to kind of probably Yeah, right your claw open enough to duck out and do like a roll out of your grasp And he starts to make distance between you seems like he is fleeing Do you want us to start us out or we can't understand you have one spring up Frank? It is your turn. I'm pretty beat up I'll let him go but when you turn to Luke Luke is gone.

So let's go. I'll um I will casually grab Fiona and Kerry As the giant bug yeah, okay, Kerry and Fiona do you like yourself to be grabbed? Is it a vicious grab or is it like no? I'll put him on my back and I'll start scurrying away.

Okay, I just I just have the bug So you wear your scurrying away to I don't remember how far away this place was from how did we get there? We drove there we had to drive in someone else's car. Yeah, I have drive if we're supposed to always I drive us Yeah, but we have the key to wire a car. No, you are not touching.

I use them No, I think you should just take us back to town. I guess I guess I'm I am the horse to take everyone back to town I you know, I'm gonna push the car back to town as well. I find a nice place where I get a silhouette And I like kind of like rear my Photographic yeah photo something you take a picture of it looks good All right, so are you scurrying with them on your back all the way to town or what's going on? I don't think it's a good idea to touch Gavin's car.

I touch you haven't cars. We pass by it. I don't pass by it You get all scurrying back to town. Where are you going specifically in town?

I'm trying to think of a place that's safe and it's probably he'd probably go back to the house I live at the house together now. No, he'd go he'd probably go to the house his rooms already been tossed Okay, I was with you want to pass by the college just to be safe. They might mistake me for the monster Okay, I know but last time a monster attack happened the entire school rallied might as it was three turns out there But still yeah, so you guys you guys make it back to the house I like it why I don't like anything happened well The football team I have grown accustomed to has lost the game that they were playing but other than that no, I'm sorry to hear that It's not on the team. So it's not that big Normal like is this American football?

I don't know that I personally do not know the difference so But they're using their hands. Oh no, they're kicking. It's the ball almost shit. Wait wasn't an egg or ball It was a ball.

Okay, okay. Okay. Cool. Sorry Americans are weird.

We caught something different. Okay Frank's gonna after everyone gets off and he's gonna screw you up to his rear close the door Did you just catch it in a wall? Oh? No, he'll use his claws to open the door and we through the door The first time he's been a scorpion man.

Yeah, Gavin and Kate were kidnapped by speed demon again, okay Yeah, you are I'm gonna go out back and I go to the shed to check on pig with this okay I'm gonna fist is training in martial arts. He's punching punching bags and doing penguin kicks I'm just okay. Hey, I'm gonna go to my room then lay down because I'm like ill carry what do you do? I'm gonna pull out my phone and I know that it's a dumb thing to do But I still have Luke so number in there and I doubt he still has his phone But I am just going to tell him that I'm going to the abandoned building and I will see him there And I'm just going to walk out.

I will be back when I am back Yeah, I'm just gonna walk to the event that's where you're walking to okay You walk to the abandoned building you make it there. What do you do? I'm just waiting to see if Luke shows up and talking to he does not How long do you wait? 45 minutes and I'm just going to go home and go to sleep at this point.

Okay. All right, so everybody sleeps a couple of days pass So no Gavin and Kate awesome. No Frank is still a scorpion boy for a couple of days. He doesn't turn back.

Oh, okay I'm leaving food outside of his door just in case like apples and soup Whatever I think a scorpion can eat and or if he decides to come out of his work for potatoes potatoes kids wings pizzas A rack of ribs normal college stuff normal college stuff during this couple of days I'm calling the people on the ship lock to see if they found any mirror fragments. Nope. Okay. Cool.

That's just kind of it I don't know. I'm a busy Cassandra tried to convince who to take some self-defense classes. Maybe I'll trainer No violence. I do I'm not that's not no.

Thank you I offered if you change your mind or try to figure out if your mom gave you some godly powers or abilities or anything like that I might be able to help you. I know I have abilities. It's just not inviting abilities. Well, what are they?

I'm interested. Oh, okay. Well, if you feel comfortable telling me let me know maybe someday I'll um see you around if you want to come and get food or anything like that. Thank you So Frank you're just hanging out in your rooming potato skins for those couple of days.

I'll go to class as the book You attend class at the book I have obligations. Yeah, I mean, I'll try to do my job. There's a It's a little bit awkward at first, but then people get used to it because like yeah, there's weird shit happens whatever Yeah, there's just scorpion that makes donut holes what of it He's got a he's got one of those like little chalk word slabs and he's got he's got like a little attachment for his tail that he can write a chalk on it You know, I like to words at a time so it takes a while so it's easier to ask questions They they still they still make you weird gloves and an apron when you're at work and a hairnet In the field what are you doing for those couple of days? Well, I try to find your fragments that I try to convince me to take something fun and spices and tell her about my Calibiliities that fail hmm.

I'm on the lookout for more God stuff and I'm gonna do something I haven't done in a while that'll probably fail. I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm gonna try to contact Athena Okay, how are you going to go about that? I begin by making an altar and getting some fresh olive branches.

You can borrow mine. I don't want your table I want it. Thanks, rude. Um, I get all the branches and I kiss them alifethere's from where the local aviary classes and then I begin praying to Yes, okay, so you are doing that Carrie what do you do?

Well, it's not a few days since I've seen my boyfriend and my friend So I'm gonna be patrolling looking for them okay in between that She's probably either still going to school or like serious just meditating constantly just a bad place Okay, you you are doing that and for instance, you're going by your own business and whatnot. I mean, yeah He's doing the he's doing he like his normal routine, but he's also Practice being a bug or oh, it's like he's kind of accepted that he is bug boy and maybe not a great bug boy So he's got a he's got to try harder to bug since he's been trying so hard to be human and Also instead of being like a strong bug and a strong or a strong human. He's just a weak bug and a weak human So it's like now he's got to focus on you know being strong in general and he's already You know stronger as a bug than as a person so it makes sense to keep you in more I didn't mean to send your entire character to an indie crisis. I mean that have you ever not been fat because I'm fairly sure That's your email at this point raise your hand if you've ever been with the one for me girls Come talk to Fiona okay, Carrie while you're out patrolling you get a text from From a vid kid was Lee holy guacamole.

Yeah, I'm gonna call him. Hey Wesley. Oh, hey I'm not really it's super really cool somebody after they text you I'm especially you don't read that I'm like I'm in a bad situation. I might be a little help And you're like the only people I do to call I mean I still haven't heard from Sophia in a long time So I'm I think she's still lost in time, but yeah, so it's really hard to explain over the phone I don't really want to explain over the phone, but how fast can you get to amberville?

I can try my damnedest I can't portal anymore, but yummy is some time when we talk to somebody and see if I can convince them to help me one more time Yeah, okay, I mean Is everybody you do say about your friends? I mean The ones that are useful Gavin has been kidnapped and I'm in the process of trying to find him Fiona doesn't like me anymore The other well, that's a shame she could help yeah, I can still ask her but I don't know how much she'll actually do Well, I mean she never disliked me. I mean you could tell her it's for me. She's scared of you Well tell her he tell her I'm sorry for anything.

I've done the upset her. I know I never really met you I know you're good boy. I'll talk to her. Maybe I can make it work Just FYI if I do end up bringing the third friend I do have He's a giant scorpion, so please don't be too scared of that Oh, no, that's fine.

All right. Give me a few hours to talk to some people at all get back and talk to you It is relatively time sensitive so I can't but think I think you very much. I'm glad that Wesley's not racist against Yeah, so yeah, he's going to message Fiona hey Wesley, he's help are you willing to help in amberville?

Yes, incredible So you're gonna go to Let us see what was us or did he is he still in the no He has a room all to himself I can see eating his or his part of it Yeah, it's just he had a protective bubble or some shit Now that frank and Kate have moved out. He's kind of co-op in the entire room I'm gonna walk in and be like alright. You make a supportive of Amberville, please That's not very kind with us at all well We you got this lovely spacious room because of us how's it because of you because we let them move into our house I come in with a handle of Canadian whiskey and I hand it to him. Okay boy.

Oh, I do my man I'm gonna break it with Tom Holt's I shrug enough. Did you do Irish? How about this and Karen? Have you ever got probably would you like to meet one that is the God of technology?

Why would I want that the God of magic? I don't know any other gods. That's what I can contact Harry Houdini David Copper I mean like I only have access to the one God that I can access. Oh, you don't I'm not I'm not incredibly interested in that Well, I feel bad asking what do you want us to do?

I don't want you to do anything You've come into my room. I feel bad asking for favors without having a way to repay you But this is kind of an emergency our friend Wesley. I don't know if you remember him He went to high school with I write PLZ on my on my edge of head and with a question mark at the end And then I try to give him my sad scorpion eyes like I said puppy eyes I just I mean you do I mean you barely ever hung out with me except for favors But thanks my man. I'll do anything for me.

That's fine. I honestly like I said I owe you this is two favors. You have whatever you want. I'll cook there off you do and out of nowhere I pull out a coupon for Tom Thornton's that's a half off a dozen Tom holes.

Okay, that's fine Do you are taking your car again or not? We do not have access to the car I try to screech like a car does and I like run in place as a scorpion. Okay, okay, I guess that's that's the way that we're gonna do that You know exactly where we're going text Wesley exact locations, please Pin all right. He gives you location.

It's not exactly in April. It's kind of outside in like a suburb city Oh, so it's not where my son I know on house was now It's it's like a kind of a surrounding city suburb area. I give him the coordinates here He's like, okay, I suppose we can make it there It won't take us but a little while unless Frank's too slow away. I give him a I give him a look at only a unfeeling cold scorpion I'm sorry anyway, we just have to jump into my pocket to mention a walk there kind of Well, thank you again.

I'm sorry to have to keep asking you for things. It's okay I just have you know studying to do constantly. Let's hop on in make a make a mental note to just send a lot of prepaid meals He opens up his his little portal hole in Hopson and you guys are on your way It doesn't take too long to get to this suburb city. It's like it's an ice curry real fast It's it's about like an hour and a half outside of Amberville proper.

We're there. It's a suburb house nice. It's a nice three story I have Wesley you just you just in the driveway right now You just arrived in the driveway. I go on the door the door opens like a star trek door Shh all we have good idea and credit because I assume he doesn't want to hang out with us Well, how are you guys getting back?

Yeah, that was my fear I mean he can go in go hang out at the mall or the the Amberville City Institute of Magic We don't want to put you in danger if you don't want to be in danger I guess just text me when you need me. I'll be around. Thank you. I give him a high five claw You're incredible.

He's just man can't do that right? So he moves away and the three of you are there in the drive And when it opens I walk in and be like big kid lastly you you hear over like a lot of people that kind of comes like The base when you come with the base a bit cool. What's the emergency that you use to come here? I say walking downstairs.

Can I can I fit down the stairs to the base? Can you can you can you can it's a really nice house? So you guys entered the basement It looks like a kind of a lab area where there's a lot of tech stuff and a lot of games and what not I would anything that looks A helmet thing you see him. He's in the base where he's working on so I think you guys you have think you guys were showing up Let's say this is Frank Frank.

This is right. How you doing. Oh, we've Yes, I had a few words. Yeah, so how you got well first of all, I know I said I was emergency But just to catch a breath.

How you guys been doing that's um, you know, I'm gonna have high school I've done a lot better. Let's just say the impending doom of something coming is very looming over me There's a gap where I draw a stick figure and then I draw an arrow that trans like shows a transition to a scorpion And then I show that to him. Oh, yeah, Frank's in a having an existential crisis. Okay, you know, how it's tough.

No, we're learning a lot You like my house. Yeah, gorgeous. It's really nice. You live yourself you room with others.

Yeah. Yeah, I've kind of been waiting for You to come back, but we all have to oh, yeah, we saw for a moment. We know I did we all saw it for a moment Anyway, so here's the thing I guess I wouldn't say it's a friend but someone from high school found me and asked for my help And I don't know how to do that. Who's this person?

Do you remember Jennifer chill? Oh, yes, I do we have a funeral for her No, oh no, no, that was the other one Bethany my missing no, I'm talking I'm talking about Jennifer. Yeah, so she was kind of like you know, I had a class This stuff I never expected her to find me, but she did what she wanted me to protect her I don't know like she she won't really talk to me about what and I'm really bad socially She's up at one of my guest rooms. I was her heading up there if you guys want to try to get more information from Wesley Okay, okay, just kind of hang out down there Just it freaked all that man just going to pet Frank because I feel like you know he just needs a physical affection I don't know that he would feel that but okay if it makes you feel better.

Kerry. What do you ask? Just you know general so you haven't heard anything from Sophia either huh that really I mean she popped in once like three seconds It's something I could understand in advantage. Yeah, we really need like a speed translator for her Sometimes I feel like she's really quickly that's hard to catch what she's saying.

Yeah, okay, it's gonna be awesome I get really upset not at her just at the situation, you know I tell you on that one, but I mean I've been putting a lot of work into my adventures I sold a few patents and now I have like three houses That's really cool, and I'm sure when she comes back. She's gonna be super super excited Are you remembering to eat like you're supposed to eat like I'm supposed to what does that mean three meals a day? Look when Fiona gets really obsessed about something. I have to like physically like horse or eat I worry okay, I usually stack on cheetos throughout I mean that's considered a couple of the food groups because it's kind of a bread and also kind of cheese sure sure that makes sense I'm sorry.

I just I've been really lost mentally and so I've kind of turned into a dead mother apparently and I don't know I feel about that. I don't think anybody else really likes it I don't know what else to do with my life. I'm sorry to dump all that out of you. That was horrible I mean, it's okay.

Are you really bad at listings? I don't really don't want to say that's a lot I don't know it's okay. It's alright Can you tell me any more about the state that Jennifer was in when she found you she was really frantic And she just she said that people were trying to fight her and I did I didn't know who was I'm How long has she been here? I messaged you like 20 minutes after she showed up because like I don't I get I get kind of claiming around it Cuz I don't I mean no fiss to Sophia I like so feel like I like so feel a lot but like Stanford chilka.

I just be I can't keep my composure It's okay. I understand I just I don't know what to say and I get all clabby and weird. It's just an intimidating person It's okay. I'm sure if you don't handle it.

Okay, all right You knock on the door you don't hear a response. Yeah Jennifer are you in there? Yes, I open the door You see the king's eyes bed with like she's kind of sitting up near the head head rest She's not like laying down but she's setting up near the head rest was kind of wrapped up like it So Wesley tells me that people are after you. Yeah, I'm telling me about these people.

Why did he call you? He did I don't know the kids not good around other people in social situations Obviously, that's why I thought he would be real safe back because he wouldn't fucking open his mouth anybody's a doubt He had any friends. Hey, if I saw the dude has obviously he does yes What's your problem? I come to Wesley cuz he seemed like a reliable dude who probably didn't have many people didn't call and Tattle on me to hey, what'd you do?

How's that for a better answer? Do anything people just after him and who's after you fucking lunatics? They like they're like three of them and they like attacked me and they were like trying to I don't know show some sort of Crystal into me. It was weird and I didn't like it and I was very upset What were their powers?

I don't know one was not all these birds and then there's like this giant dog thing This other dude who was like look like he was fucking a zombie of some sort I can't they have any names so they went no no they're just fucking attack me Not much to go on yeah Yeah, I know so I thought I would try to fucking hide off the grid because they attacked me at work So they knew where I worked and they probably know my family So I just I ran as far as I could and I got out of the first person from high school I knew like the person who would never you know nobody would ever guess I'd be with that guy and then fucking here you are Hmm where'd you work? I was a junior executive. I was working in a company. Well, what's that company called?

And did they have security cameras? No, you don't have to be a little shit about it You don't have to be served for someone trying to help you I didn't ask for your help. I asked for somebody else's guess what you got me and unless you want me to call the police about this I'm about as good as you're gonna get thing is was Lee I mean he almost took over city with fucking cannons and last thing I heard is you got your hand ripped off Yeah, and that's what you heard well I guess me and Marianne a foot tall scorpion who is here to help you go just leave a name Okay, and you could be here his name is Frank leave what's all scorpion? Hanging it with scorpions.

He's my friend. Okay. I'm just trying to help you that's all You don't want my help fine. We can leave when you get attacked again Who knows maybe the crystal will get in you this time.

I'm just trying to help you What would you even do well first? I would probably not have you in a guest bedroom so exposed to all the windows probably want to keep you in the basement Sorry to get you that way in second. I would fight so you want me to go in a basement I'm just giving a suggestion. I would fight who ever tried to attack you okay?

Or I have you moved out of the city where you were attacked I'm not in the city where I was in court star. Okay, you're already for it'll take them a while to get here probably Maybe I don't know who they were you sure they didn't get any names. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it seems weird Let's cut back to the basement. What are you guys doing?

Frank and Kerry so does Wesley have all that information that Fiona just got or no? I don't know. What do you ask him specifically? Well, I had an idea about the cameras and it would be something that Wesley could do if he has hacking abilities which I Oh, maybe he does.

I'm not sure. What are you asking? I'm basically asking him if he had any information other than like she just showed up at my door No, apparently she said she was just working and they attacked her office building and she tell you what the name of the building was Oh, yeah, she works for the name of the building the Don Baxter building I don't know the name of the building is this is kind of a weird stretch Do you think that you could hack the security cameras from here there? Maybe can you try to do that and see if you can figure out what was going on with me?

She got attacked. I'm going to go upstairs just in case you're not having a hard time Okay, Frank if you would like to come with you can if not you do you what do you think I was gonna hang out the basement? I don't know Jessica. I've just been introduced to Wesley and I take up a lot of space and it's hard for me to go around So I'm just gonna hang out going to leave a small bag of doughnut holes So Kerry you go up and to where Fiona and Jennifer are I was gonna knock on the outside of her.

How many of you guys did he call me? Well, he called me I brought to okay. Yeah, I know we're not the greatest But what you got so what's your plan right now? I have Wesley trying to see if you can find security footage from the day You were attacked try to figure out who attacked you look can go from there and creating a plan on how to keep you safe if You are feeling Take early wonky.

We could probably contact you in your heroes. I really doubt they would care about some high school kids honestly Maybe there's a program they can put you in Fiona's Fiona's thing She wants me in the basement is that we're doing we're going in the basement? Well, we need to figure out why you were attacked Yeah, I just give it a touch. I'm not sure that that's a good idea.

You just rack Wesley. You're pretty Yeah, okay, so then where am I supposed to be you're good to say here? I don't think it's that much of a problem where you are Where are you comfortable? No, I'm not comfortable anywhere anymore.

I can be tough. Is there anything I can do make you feel better? I'm not in particular. I'm just kind of freaked out.

Okay, that's totally understandable I Can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I understand what it's like to be hunted so we're good So that's what we're going to do Fiona if you want to help Wesley and me try to identify who I'm this is and we're welcome to I think Frank's gonna chill in the basement. I think someone should say what they just be safe Okay, if you want to do that then that's fine by me keep your ears open just a case Yeah, I'll text you something happens to you. It takes me if you learn something can do Okay before you get there. Um, so Wesley is doing some hacking.

Are you are you watching closely with the hacking is happening? I mean, I'm watching enough to Frank I was talking to Frank because before you get back and he indicated that he was doing anything like related to what we were Doing or is he just kind of off in his own little thing? He ignored me as soon as Harry left. No, no, he's no No, he let you know that he's taking care of suggestion and trying to hack the security cameras of the building I'll yeah, I mean I'll watch I mean, I don't know that I would know what is happening, but I would watch okay He is tickety tickety happening until he gets some security footage and he's he's watching through the security footage and on the security footage You see Jennifer.

She is actually a girl. I don't know who it is. Yes. Yes.

You see a girl He points at the screen says that's her and she's not doing much work But also getting a lot of accolades because she comes from her family and is a pretty girl She's she's getting the full nepotism treatment Um And you see a cavalcade of people busting in and attacking the building and I carry that is when you walk down at the stairs into the basement And he's watching the black and white security footage of this happening I think right now we're gonna better footage and fairly sure these cameras are for the lives first alive. Yeah, probably I can't I can't I'm just gonna make it super pixel-y Not if I tap if I tap fast enough it gets better. I'm just gonna look at Wesley and be like that's funny I'm gonna help him He's gonna help that sharpens the image while it zooms in Data for the pixels in between the other pixels Anybody in these pictures that I recognize working role more on you're watching the footage. Um, there's a tall lady in a long black dress There's way too many like birds around her to see her very well there's also a very large wolf creature and Also like a dude who's kind of like short and stumpy in a brown coat and he's got like big weird veins all over his head Um, and they're kind of like really decimating the office Um, so you watch the few nights I don't go for a few seconds before the camera's just absolutely cut out I'm just like he's keep watching the same like 40 seconds over and over again He paused it.

He's like I always needed a bunch of times Can I roll Laura to see if I know who any of those people are? Sure sure roll. Oh sweet. I have lore.

Oh wait actually I take it back I have lore if you guys want some of us still the pics people I could I mean I also take pictures and send them to field But all right Kerry, I'll roll me a notice actually But my more is so much better I got plus three can I roll notice as well? You're in the room with Jennifer Okay, Wesley has the the video pause all three of the individuals are in the picture And you're looking real close to see if you know who they are the one just looks like a massive wolf creature So that's just just big dog the short stumpy guy you can't really tell who he is I mean as you're looking at the the tall lady the her face turns and looks at you directly the eye No, I do not like that I swear and while while it's paused she begins to move and walk closer to the camera What's that was going to go? Wesley do you have a shutdown protocol? I'm hitting pause and hitting pause it's not pause Lock down this room right now, but they were all gonna be stuck in here Then get out of here and lock it down Frank get out.

Are you stick you're staying in here? Yes, Frank fell asleep watching the footage All right, Wesley's like, I'll take you right far. I had he leaves down the road Blast our car. Yeah last door close.

Frank. Do you leave the room as well? Are you staying in there? Kerry telling you Kerry telling him to leave right?

Yes, I leave Okay, Kerry you're in the room alone The computer won't shut off and she comes closer and closer to the camera until she reaches out her hand exits the screen I'm going to light my hand up the Westa God ring goo. All right. She she climbs out of the the screen as she's climbing out These blackbirds are also flying out of the screen kind of filling up the room Who are you? Oh dear dear Kerry.

When I indeed They're not the Catherine you are in my sister's body. You need to get is this my sister's face Yes, it is You need to get out of there today and I'm gonna put my hand up to this person's face where I would blast you out She she moves her face directly into your hand and says last away little one get out You don't tell me what to do you don't get to touch my baby sister last warning. He's not your baby sister anymore She's mine to hell. Yeah, she is.

I wouldn't let that wrinkly old bastard have her you can't have her either could have shoot out her hair All right, they roll shoot All right, you she doesn't even try to dodge you hit her in the head you hit her in her like her head kind of Blitz where you hit it but then it kind of forms back together No, no, no, Catherine. Are you in there? She's in here. Why do you people keep messing with my family?

I'm not a person Don't insult me. I don't care what you are get out of my sister She leans down really close to your face and says I'm not who I'm the morgan and she turns into a big flight of birds Blurp in the whole room is filled with like all of these blackbirds What do you do? And I'm the motherfucking avatar of death And I'm just gonna blast as much light as I can around to try to blow up the birds Okay, you roll some shoots trying to hit some birds Can I just use my will since I'm using my powers? I mean it's a shoot to hit but I mean they're everywhere so whatever That's a plus five You're hitting some birds, but like the root is there's just so many like you're it feels like it's a it's a futile effort But you're blasting all the birds and they're all filling the area That's what you keep messing with my poor baby sister It's funny.

She's had a bad life leave her alone The rest of everybody frank and was like was he goes running up to that upstairs bedroom frank do you follow? Yeah, he goes to the water. You're running up to the stairs bedroom. You're running up there with him Alright Fiona was like comes busting in frank real close behind and he's like S Shit, I got a plus four to sell Jennifer stands up on the bed and she's wearing like a hoodie and some jeans or whatever And she's like I'm not hiding from a fight and then she snaps her fingers like ice dress kind of over her blows Okay, I was got it Pucky Is her like code name ice princess?

Yes, it was at one point if you would have gotten to a fight They're in high school than yes, it would have I know this is a calling of that, but this is a vibe of getting memory So is that what you call your call their Elsa? I made the jokes saying that but if I didn't be the guardian's a galaxy riding team I'll go in joking come up with this console with a different name Hey first off, don't talk to me about this. I have fought so many different creatures You would not believe it. I drew I drew the Deadpool symbol on my board and I show it to her So I just kind of called her Edward half a hand With a marvellating team, good jokes and the end Avengers.

Yeah 90% of the jokes and the Avengers just called somebody. Don't want me Oh, you're the wrong name Jennifer. Yeah, okay. Let's do this.

I draw my sword. I'm like Wesley. You want to fight with those? Wasn't I know I'm in a house and all my stuff to the basement anyway, okay Sorry, I don't do We're gonna go to defend your house.

I will be the one to defend Cool. Um, I missed Wesley. Look at Frank and be like ready Frank. We're in for the fight about I don't afford it myself.

Can't find it. Can't see me. All right Frank I head out with Jennifer. All right.

Where are you headed to? Where are the alarm go off the design? Um, it's another show in the front area The front of the house. I look out the window for the front who's out there.

Uh, you see a girl you recognize Who? Wait, it looks like Bethany Bethany? I was hoping she had to go to the door of that Uh, I look out the window and I'm like Bethany. Are you saying that to her?

I say that through the window. I'm like, I'm out with Bethany Uh, Bethany, it looks at you and she looks like there's these silver veins all through her skin She just points the finger at the window and a large lightning blast Cakes her hand and just crashes into the wall just blowing a hole in the wall Uh, you're able to do that. She was blowing a hole in the wall and she says, as he's not here anymore Well, who's here? I'm GuavaNix Fuck.

Wow, I'm mixed. Yeah, guava mix. Wow, I'm mixed. Guava like the fruit.

It's a mix like like like Bloody Mary mixed but it's a storm god Yeah, I kind of figured it out. I kind of figured it out. These are gods. Oh, fuck I know exactly what these people are.

Well, I just have this to say you can't have her It's not your choice. I know it's not but like I said, you can't have her. She doesn't want to be had From the roof drops another person person looks kind of like a kind of bloated weird distorted humanoid with a number of tentacles sticking out of his back and he falls down in front of you as well And he he says give us the vessel or die I fought death many times. Cade and Gavin you find yourself yanked into a shadow portal and you are standing It seems like endless darkness in every direction I have to have a one refresher.

The fight that we were in it was like we saw the man cockroach, right? Yeah, well, yeah, Rudy Vida. Yeah, man. Yeah, sorry I For his name.

Yeah, you saw you saw him. He was gonna challenge you guys and you were getting ready to fight him That's why I was working for real sessions. Okay, man bug. I have shadow powers or something's going on here interesting Uh, you got any fancy flashlights and that uh, see yours?

Sorry. I don't got the movie upgrade yet. Uh, no flashlights on my helmet Damn, both of y'all give me a perception check. Oh, that was the one thing I did.

Okay, forgot to bring up my Roll thing. I got mine would notice work. Yes. Yep, cuz I know this one.

Okay. Oh boy. That is uh, that's a negative two on the dice And I have a plus two and notice it's a wash. I got a plus two All right, Gavin you see way way off in a direction There seems to be like like a point of light very very far away But other than that like kind of c-cade in front of you But it's like it's really really dim like you can kind of see his outline and but not very many features Okay, I'm gonna put my hand out to you and you know nothing of it But I think maybe we should hold hands until we figure out what's going on here But we don't lose each other sounds good to me.

I hold his hand. Okay, you're not holding hands There's a I can see kind of a little bit of a light off difference I'll point it out to him so hopefully you can see it too. Yeah, when he points it out You can see it like way way off the distance. It's real hard to make out Normally say they normally say don't go towards the light, but in this case I guess we should I agree also I have some reason how it could also be a trap since it's the only thing we could see but there's really nothing else we can do I mean might as well, right?

All right. Um, yeah, let's just head towards the light. All right So you start heading towards the light it seems like you guys walk for a while You're not really getting hungry or tired like you'd expect yourself to but it seems like you're walking for a very long time As you're walking the light does get closer and a bit brighter And you start seeing some shapes off in the distance It's still a little bit off in the distance, but you see some shapes kind of being illuminated by the light The light is a little bit off of what you would assume is the ground was what you're walking on Pretty far away. Well, at least I'll get my steps in for the day.

Is there anything else you're doing? You're just so just continuing forward Continue forward. I suppose okay, so you guys are continuing forward you get you're getting closer And you notice these shapes are really really large and they kind of look like buildings So they're not super straight up. They're all kind of like caddy wappus They're like leaning kind of like leaning on each other both of you make notice rolls, please And I got a one all right so kade you notice like one of the buildings that you're getting closer to Looks like a building from your hometown of copper ridge, but it's leaning on a different building that does not look familiar Oh, I point that out to yavin that kind of looks like the bank building from copper ridge Can you get your bearings from seeing a bank building?

I mean normally yes, but the rest of these buildings don't look right. They're kind of crooked and not right When he points it out to you, Gavin, you notice like a couple of the buildings the ones that he doesn't recognize are Buildings that come from your hometown in New Zealand. So yeah, that's your bank And okay, so that's your bank, but next to your bank. That's the daycare that I used to go to with a kid interesting All right, you're approaching the outskirts of what looks like this combination city There's also a couple buildings that you don't recognize kind of shooting jutting out in different directions as well Is it easier to see where we are now?

Yeah, because you're getting closer to the light but also the light is there are big dark long shadows Because you're getting closer to buildings and the buildings are casting channels because the light is pretty far up off the ground and still a bit Far away, but it's very very bright. So there are big long shadows So you do get like walked out from seeing the light sometimes, but it is a bit easier to see I don't remember if I turned into anything before the episode ended I'm going to press a button my belt so that it pops if I want the materials like he's starting there I'm gonna turn into a right you turn into metal Is there anything that you do? I know I was already more so that's I know that is there any place in here that looks like it's the Is there a center to this place where it looks like everything is all the buildings that we know and don't know we're coming together or anything like that? It looks probably closer to the light this area is really huge and all these different kind of buildings shooting out in different directions But it seems like the buildings are getting thicker and more concentrated the closer you get to the light also I feel like we've been here longer than I seem to think we have because you're saying that we're not getting hungry or tired Yeah time seems to be weird.

You can't really get a grip on how long you've been in here I check my fit bit. How many steps have I taken it? It says zero. Oh fuck Okay Again, I don't see any other options I tend to light.

Yeah, let's do it All right as you enter into like the outskirts of the city where you're like passing a couple of the smaller buildings into this area Roll me notices. That's a three and I got two Hey, you're walking in here something down an alleyway nearby sounds like a scurrying I ready myself and tell Gavin something's coming okay I'll be prepared to whatever happens you see like faintly in the darkness down this alley There's a small creature seems to skitter across the alley can't really get its shape But it seems like it was like hunched on all fours and while it's skittered between I don't like this I don't know if this is a good thing a bad thing We don't know where we go and maybe a someone who lives or something here may so we may want to try to communicate Okay, I go hello You hear a shuffling slowly emerge from the alleyway and out of the shadows a girl and Gavin immediately recognizes this girl as red All right, I'm gonna jump at her. Okay, go for it. Oh with an attack.

I just like jump at her and play. Yeah. No, I got it Okay, I got a plus six for that. All right, you get a plus six you you hit her pretty good.

Hey, did is your turn? Okay, is this person bad or are we attacking what's going on? I guess just take her out and I yell at him Okay, I'm going to try to hit her or the ponch for uh four You hit her as well now it is her turn she swings that you Gavin to give a ponch and she got a five All right, I'm gonna try to dodge it roll for it. I got a eight all right, you dodge out of the way Kade roll me a fight with my stuff.

I can roll my physique as fight is that okay? That is another four all right from from your right you get hit with one It looks like m from school has run out of a different alleyway his arms all golden and hit you in the face Shit he hits you for one. Okay. I take one up to Gavin.

Yeah All right, roll roll me a kick to the face. I got a four plus. Okay. You hit her again.

Kade is your turn Okay, I'm gonna punch the fuck out of it. Okay, that is a plus six. All right, you hit him and he he stumbles back now Red's turn red energy starts shooting out of her and she hits at Gavin and she gets an eight or five Right dodge. I got a six.

Okay So you take two and then m is attacking a kade and he gets a five Five as well. All right, so it's a wash. Gavin it is your turn and I rolled notice because I think something is off This doesn't seem like red to me. I got a plus four if that helps.

Okay. Yeah, it's definitely something off Uh you get a plus four and you see like past red There are a couple of more creatures like crawling down the walls on all fours and as they drop they are shapeshifting into red I am going to wait. I'm gonna wait to see what is going to happen because I'm gonna end start backing up a little bit All right, Kade is your turn. We're in an alley, right?

I have an idea. Okay. I want to try to punch the wall to make it collapse Since the building is kind of cock-eyed. Okay, you're trying to collapse the building.

Yeah, at least like a wall of it into the alley to follow them Okay, so you're like trying to block yourself off from the the reds over on the other side or the m that's fighting you currently Probably the red since there's so many of them. Okay, so you're gonna like sprint past Gavin and try to collapse them wall over that part of the alley Yeah, okay roll me a fight for that fight or physique. Uh if you can use your physique as fight, that's fine. Yeah, that's one of my things Yep, that's fine.

I forgot since I'm I'm hard now. I get another plus two to my physique So stay hard Hard is a lot. I gotta eight. Okay, you hit the building in a bunch of the the rubble collapses in the way cutting off these other reds from You guys the one red that is on this side of the rubble does attack evan though and rolls a five All right, you are successfully blocked her attack the m that was attacking Cade now runs up behind Gavin and tries to attack him as well and gets a it's a three I got a eight.

All right, you successfully block that and m was running up and it was gonna hit you in the head You kind of like turn to block you block his attack and you notice out on the street There's a couple more these creatures turning into a couple of m's and a couple of reds now is your turn Gavin Like most rp's talking a little bit of reaction from talking to Kate. No, yeah, you can talk Sorry just one mixture. I don't know what's going on here because I'm assuming this world is pulling something from mine Because I don't think are we seeing our buildings from our past but red is something personal to me And I believe m is something personal to you at the most yes, so so something here is inside of our heads It looks that way should make a break for it because I think they're just gonna keep coming Why don't we try to go through the building you just opened up and then open up another hole in the other side and just run? Sounds good to me All right, so I'm gonna start running that way and if I get inside I'm going to try to hit the other wall with my explosion knife They try to cut a hole for us Okay, all right, roll me explosion knife to do that I got a four for that all right So yeah, you use your explosion knife and you cut yourself off from them You hear them letting out some kind of like weird howly screams on the other side of the wall and like from a very very far distance You hear the same screams it seems as if they're calling to each other I don't like this but you but you are now currently caught off from the ones that you were engaged with Okay, well at least that's that all right, so here's what we can I do a question before we do anything though Are you a key master or key can you I don't know can you hold the key?

I can use keys like a person you know I was saying they're like heartless Go ahead mine was a stupid joke you go ahead and say what you actually want to do I was gonna say we do one of two things we can keep busting through buildings I mean we can run up to the roof and just hop from rooftop We also we could yeah, we could do that Wait, how yeah, because the buildings are leaning on each other right? Yeah, they're all like that you built a city in like wet sand and just kind of like everything was just kind of leaning on each other Yeah, I just wanna make sure that because I'm pretty sure like that it'd be easier to jump because I don't think I could jump actual building Yeah, so yeah, let's do that. Let's go. Let's uh, let's go run and jump this toss you it's fine Alright, so you're like a running from building to building on top.

Yeah, okay, uh both roll me some sort of skill that you're gonna use for that Probably athletics, but if you have a different more creative idea let me know that's a two and I got a plus one All right, the building's being tipped makes it a little bit easy and you're running across like these tipped buildings and jumping from From leg to ledge and you do see like down on the ground level There are these scurrying images like you can kind of see these figures scurrying every once in a while Like you can kind of see the face of em or red and they're kind of shooting stuff at you as you're running across like red is shooting blasts of some sort and em as well Is shooting blast of some sort but I'm sure you're not taking the time to sit and watch them do this Are they like climbing up the buildings yet? A couple of them are but like you're you're keeping a pretty decent ahead of them It seems like the ones further away from you are climbing up because they're like kind of hunched over on all fours and all black And as they get like they crawl up the building and as they get closer to you transform But you're staying ahead of them pretty much while we're doing this. I'm going to be also continuously screaming get out of my head Leave me alone. Okay.

All right. Um, so which direction are you headed? Probably still towards a lot of yeah, okay So you guys are ahead towards there you see a building you're like you're coming across a building That's very very tall and kind of on an incline and then like from that building There's like a pretty long jump to another building and you think if you make this jump You'll probably outrun the horde of these things currently if you want to go that route or you can go the safer route And just kind of stay on the lower rooftops But these things will keep following you I will no way make the job because I have a I have no ethics if you don't feel like you can make the jump I could probably give you a boost What could I do like a physique till like when he like jumps into my hands? I kind of like throw him up You want to give a physique roll for a fast ball special style situation?

Yeah All right, okay, you guys are gonna run up the big tall building as you're running up the big tall building roll me notices I got a three I got a zero You notice that this is the irons industries building and you know that is definitely in the heart of deal city This is definitely from steel city. Have you been to steel city? Uh Gavin? Yes, I have been there.

I've never multiple So you're running up this building so give me a physique role to give the fastball special Do you want me to roll anything to help off of him or think about like an F like doing athletic roles right help or anything Right depending on how good his role is he's going to give you a bonus to your athletics Okay, I got a wash on the dice but since I'm I'm hard. I have a plus six of the secret Right, you get a plus three to your athletics role to make this jump then I got a plus two so I get a five Uh, okay, so um so your whole number is five. Yeah, okay You you make the jump pretty easily and now kdf to make the jump as well What I get away with using a physique for that would you maybe use athletics? It's a jump so I would say athletics Okay, hey, I'm going to scream to him.

What if you take out a piece of the roof throw it jump to that So and then jump to the other one so you offer to do lots of a jump will you let me do Sure, okay. I'm gonna roll a physique to hook a piece of building. Okay, that's a plus six to hook in some building Roll me another physique actually. That's fine All right, I'm gonna let you throw it so like you can throw the thing and then grab on and just ride it So you basically throw it where you throw it but you're basically holding on to it to get across the gap So yeah, you you're able to get across the gap very easily Um, and then you see the things like crawling up the building but like your the gap is so far that they're not able to quite get I give them the finger Okay, give them the finger All right, so we gotta do now you seem to take from that horde of uh creatures I feel like we shouldn't stop to take a break because they're gonna catch up and we still don't know Yeah, so let's keep at it walking towards the light as you're getting closer to the light You notice that there are some of these creatures that don't seem to be interested in you They seem to be wandering in a different direction If you have them are transformed into something like it looks like a person kind of has like longer arms And they're kind of wandering in a specific direction, but they do not seem to be interested in you There has to be somebody else we gotta help at least I think we do unless you want to go If we stop and check on them, we can always run again, right?

Yeah, I guess all right are you making any moves against them? Are you just kind of are you running or like what's your what's your pace? What's your approach? We I suppose we go up to the weird people.

Yeah, we're gonna follow the weird people I think we should at least stealth it just in case the other because I don't know if they have to see us or something But we should probably be stealthy in case people see us. Yeah, that that makes sense Let's let's let's let's try to ninja turtle a roof to rooftop lightly. Yeah following these guys. All right, uh They roll me a self-man.

Ah shit. I gotta wash. I gotta plus four myself. Okay.

Um, Gavin's being pretty self-fy Not so much, but I'm made of that But also they don't seem to notice you so they seem to be pretty preoccupied with what they're looking at as you enter kind of the radius of this group You notice that there's like a building that seems to have bunker kind of on the top of it with all these spikes kind of pointing down It looks like different construction from what you see because everything else is like really like faded It's like a weird faded shadow version of these places and this seems to be reconstructed out of materials this little bunker area on the top That looks sort of promising. Maybe there's other people like us hold up in there. Yeah, I agree Let's go check it out. Let's see if you can touch that shit is it like grouped in with other buildings or would it be like in a clearing where there's like a gap in between?

It's kind of grouped in with other buildings, but again, it's like one of the taller buildings It's kind of leaned off to the side seems like they built some sort of shelter there It's got like a spike fence of like made of rebar. Do either of us recognize it? Uh, no This looks like it was built here. Let's not look like this was part of a city somewhere else.

Okay All right, I want to get closer than try to like we'll notice to see if I can see anyone inside the building All right, roll me a stealth to get close. I have a plus one. Are you both getting close? Yeah, I'm gonna fall behind him All right roll is I got a I got plus three.

Okay, so you guys are both are stealthing by you get relatively close to one of the transformed ones It's a person size creature kind of like has a blank face But like a weird toothy grin like kind of long arms that are kind of technically but they're like still arms They look really kind of disturbing and weird also kind of like slick and gross They're just kind of like wandering around moving their arms all strangely It's kind of like slender many a little bit and you do approach the bunker I'm gonna roll the notice to see if I notice anything else about building. It's a two I hold my hands up like this in front of my face like binoculars You as you're as you're holding your hands up like binoculars you you notice that you were you're looking into there But you also have set off some sort of alarm system and a sharp piece of rebar comes flying out of the window at you And they made a three so what do you do against a three? Oh fuck I try to slap it out of the air. Okay, eight All right, you easily slap it out of the air.

Okay, Gavin. Obviously we need to run and get out of the way Okay, I still think we need to get in there though. So maybe we should run towards it then I don't know yeah, I think we should get out of the way and maybe try to see if we can find a window and sneak sneak it It's my thought. I don't know if there is a right about I'm very disoriented here So at least these shadow creatures are accurate in the out so No, fuck it.

I'm just gonna say hey, we're not shadow demons The other shadow demons look in your direction start making noises and you hear a voice from inside the bunker Sounds like a lady's voice go. Are you yelling you threw something at us first? You're going to troll them all here then let us in She's like okay Okay, you enter you see a woman She's been here for a little while got some makeshift weaponry that she has been reclaiming from the buildings and whatnot rebar and stone and Things she finds she also seems to panic because she's like well now that they've heard us They're going to be charging here and my defenses will only last so long so it's a good thing you've got us and paid cracks Yes, you know sorry first of all, sorry. We thought we were trying to save you I you know what if you have a way out of here, I'd completely appreciate it.

That'd be fantastic We don't we don't even know how we got here. So also where the hell is here? It's hard to explain. Okay, so before they get here.

Hi, name's Alex bann. Hi, Gavin. How are you? I'm Kate.

Nice. Okay, pleasure. He's over. So I have a partner who's here as well We either need to get to him so I can actually help okay.

Where is he somewhere? I don't know but these things keep attacking me and I can't handle a vythan alone. Do I know the name of it then? Roll me a notice.

Okay, so not a note of lore sorry. No, I don't Negative for more I got negative three. No, you are unfamiliar Should I roll or recognize it? If you want to Okay, she's like okay, so we need to get going.

I'm not sure where my partner is somewhere probably Okay, do you have a way out of here that's fast? We can slide down the back of the building other than that We can go back where you came from but she looks out the window They're charging at us now and there's some lady dressing their red thing and some kid with gold arms. Okay, let's book it I jumped out the window. She's just slide down so the window Are we sliding down the building?

Oh the building in the inside. I thought she had like a slide on the inside All right. Yeah, so um she follows you to slide down this side of it. Okay, you guys are all sliding down the building Oh, roll me a athletics to do some sweet jumps.

I got she got really good I got zero are you going to roll anything to try to help Gavin? I mean, I jumped out first so I feel like I'm kind of far ahead of him. Is there anything I could do? Not if you went that far ahead.

All right, so Gavin what happens is you went down after Kate Kate made the jump pretty easily I mean the jump it looks like you're gonna hit the side of the building Alex grabs your shoulders And as you're about to hit the building you both go through the wall and tumble into the building like not like break through the wall But like you fade like kitty pride style. Yeah, kitty pride face of the wall So you guys face through the wall and now you're in the building and she's like just keep going and she's running through the building I'll keep running and while running. I'll say thanks. That's probably like the only physical like roll thing I don't have a vessel like I have every other physical thing pretty well.

That's the only one I don't Yeah, sorry I set up a chase scene. All right. No, no problem at all. I just like I think it's funny that like yeah, that's the only one I don't have I just think it's one so you guys um he runs across top of the building Gavin now It's you're running through the building both come out on the other side and you're continuing on you're running from these things And then there's one of them in front of you that looks like what she called the fire then and it strikes out with its arms And its arms kind of split into a bunch of tentacles and it tries to hit everybody at once and it makes a seven-tate everybody I got a plus eight to I got a seven nice So you guys easily block the the crazy technical hits Alex does not Alex gets hit pretty hard She's still on her feet, but she's not looking good.

Uh Gavin is your turn so she looks bad Yeah, she gets struck pretty hard across the face and she starts giggling pretty heavily Yes, like a like a medicine giggle or like a school girl giggle or hysterical crazy Have you ever been in a situation where like nothing's really funny, but something like all of a sudden strikes who's funny and you can't like stop but belly laugh Yes, okay. Yeah, I understand that okay. Yep. Uh, it's my turn.

So I'm going to um I'm gonna touch Alex and I'm going to transfer my shield chest B store so she gets a plus two to all uh dodge Okay, okay, it's your turn. All right. I'm gonna do something similar actually and I'm gonna use my my my Deceptibility and I'm gonna spend a fate point to transfer my medal to her to get for a plus Okay, so she gets a plus board of defense She's going to roll a will roll to stop laughing she barely makes it she makes it she makes it She's able to breathe once to stop laughing so hard. You're both touching her, right?

Yes Yes, okay, so she takes the opportunity She puts her hands on the building that you guys are on top of and the entire building including you two go intangible and the thing in front of her Falls to the ground oh nice And then she then she takes her hands off and just like let's do kind of we've gotta run and she starts booking again Wow, we run. Yep, we run All right, you guys which direction are you guys headed basically? I don't know where because she said she doesn't know where her partner is right? She's kind of following Kate because he went first if while we're running I'll be like hey look for a different being you know that maybe had somewhere else like how we found the the vivans I'm saying like let's let's look at let's try to roll notices and figure out if we see anybody else running somewhere the shadow creatures You can roll some notices.

I got a plus two. I got a zero Gavin you do notice like you getting closer closer to the light seems to be on the top of a spire that doesn't look like it's from any of these Cities and there's like a lot of the creatures kind of around the base of this thing, but none are crawling up it All right. I'm going to veer that way then I'm gonna yell them this way. Okay.

All right, so roll one more athletics You have time to prepare because they're gonna be a big jump throw me. I will throw you again six All right, yeah, you get a plus three to your athletics Gavin I got a plus three then so everybody else has a role athletics as well Alex makes your jump Or you throw this shit again z because you're saying I want to try to I like the right roll I like the fact that I don't think that ever thought of that and like it we help add something into it Into it's uh here. What isn't there kind of book here that like throw something in the jump on it and surf it places Yeah, that's right. Hold him to do all right That's a plus seven.

All right. Yeah, you're able to throw yourself across the the gap I also this point to at some point. Okay, just gets like a giant chain with a big rock on the end I'm strapping to my back All right, so you guys uh you guys make the jump and you're pretty close to this the spire and at the top of the spire is the bright light Did Alex make the jump look up? Yeah, she made the jump.

She's trying to catch her breath from the laugh at she Yeah, she she made the jump all right. I'm like while we were I'm gonna point out um, yeah There's people down to this end of this thing that they're not coming up. So I'm assuming that might be where you're part Okay, that's we need to we need to go get him. I think I agree We gotta help out as best we can and then we have to go up with this thing So how are we gonna get through the group of those is there a building leaning in the direction that they are that maybe we could like knock over On top of them or hey, Alex Can you do the whole intangible thing to like to the ground and maybe make the building kind of fall for um the bigger the object the More difficult more physical strain it takes me and I have to do the ground like it's the whole whatever this place is and that might Take a lot of me.

That makes sense. Okay I have an idea. I'm gonna take my shield back. You can touch me like you did her if you're able to I'll go down there and try to get them maybe at least part of them just run after me and try to chase me I can do that I think I could do at least a little bit without getting attacked and pretty good at a dodging So I can try to take off a giant chunk of them to chase after me and try to lose them somewhere I don't fucking know but then maybe you guys can get in there and deal with whoever's down there and help her partner It's worth a shot I spend a fake point and I cover you in metal because if I can get to him we can get out of here I think and I uh touch her to grab my shield back so I have that plus also and then I'm gonna go down there and be like Hey shadows you want something bright to fight?

All right, they all turn towards you and start are start rushing you. I'm gonna run also. I'm not gonna just stand there No, yeah, no, I got you I got you. Uh so you're gonna run cade.

What do you do after he starts drawing them? Is there like an opening that we could run through maybe? Yeah, totally. Are you gonna take the lead?

Yeah, I'm gonna kind of like grab her hand and like pull her with me So that way I have a grip on her and I don't lose her right? Yeah, she's down for that too. All right, so you guys make a break down there and when you get down there You know so there's like a little carved cave that's well defended between inside of this spire situation She's like that seems like it's work and it looks very much similar to the thing she built Fair enough. I tell her to take points since he would recognize her rather Yeah, she like kind of grabs your shirt and then as you guys are going through the defenses makes you Intangible Gavin as you're running you take three attacks.

So give me three dodges or defensive defenses All right, and I got a plus two from you, right? Yeah, you got a plus two defending. Just make sure all right I got a plus plus seven for the first one I have a plus nine for the second and plus nine for the third all right You you're able to defend against them all pretty easily you are running and dodging But there's like reds and ems and leviathans all chasing shooting and attacking all right So cade you guys get into the cave and you see a man that looks he's wearing very similar clothes Alex it's like a white jumpsuit with green lines on it He's got like these two big wings and one of them is looks like it's very much damage and broken he's kind of laying there He's got like a rebar weapon as well. I go I assume that's your friend.

Yeah, she goes running up and they start talking seems like they haven't seen each other in a little while and they seem like they're Happyly reunited. Oh, ronion notice. They look similar like in a very uncanny way. It could be they probably are siblings They look very very much alike.

Okay, I Will glance over my shoulder just make sure nothing's coming and I will say as much as I would love for you guys to continue with the reunion We probably need to head out exactly yeah, Alex grabs this guy's hand and they start merging into one Okay, they merge into one and it's kind of androgynous But it's like about the same height and kind of like a gray brownish tone like all one tone with like these With these lines running across them and then they say to you like kind of it sounds like two voices at once like a male voice And you always kind of lay it on top of each other say let's go get you haven't all right now the fusion dance is done Let's look at this being grabs you by the collar goes intangible and flies through a bunch of the monsters I go should Gavin while you're running from behind you very large winged person comes and grabs you by the collar and then flies up What color is it? It's like a like a grayish brownish kind of doesn't look like the shadow creature No, it does not look like sure cuz I look like that I was gonna yeah, I'm dangling next to you like okay They merged and they got like these kind of like neon lines kind of across their body And they fly into the air and they say to you Gavin are we going to the light is that what you wanted? It's the only thing I can think of unless you know way out of here No, that seems like the best option and so they fly you towards the light Takes a few seconds because it is pretty high up But do you eventually reach the precipice of this tower? Okay, does the light is it just a light or does it look like some sort of like portal or something?

It's actually a cage made of light okay, so what can we look and see what's in the cage? Oh absolutely? There's a lady in the cage. She's wearing all black and she seems very bored.

I go hello She she looks at you guys and she's like hey Gavin Alex and Alex how's it going? Uh, better. How do you know us? I know pretty much everybody.

Hey, who are you? She stands up and she walks near the edge of the cage where you guys she's like I'm nemesis All right, this is kind of my realm. I've been Shanghai'd and put in a cage. So with that name are you bad guy?

I'm not a bad guy. Oh god. Oh, okay. Well, fair enough.
