and welcome to Onyx Vale, Saints and Sinners, at Blades of the Dark Podcast, brought to you by Des Moines and Dragons. So I am your host, Tim Williams, and I'm joined by such first day. Browned? Yes, we're off to a great start.
We're gonna have this on post. We're not gonna have a good start. We're not gonna have a good start. I got enough to do in post, thank you very little.
Yeah, we're on a new website and everything for recording our podcast today. In fact, actually, fun fact, we can actually see each other. So they can see how little sleep I've gotten today. I'm just getting actually got decent on the sleep.
So I just hired. He is going too far to the other way. Yep, I've slept too much and now I'm tired. So what's gonna happen today is I'll send it around the table.
I'm gonna join with Chris, Andre and Callista, and we'll talk a little bit either adding a little bit to the world space or just some of the stuff they're working on or some of the media that they've been watching. So we will start with according to the screen that I'm looking at my diagonal with Star of Chris. Oh, I wondered if it actually was the same. Yeah, this is very interesting, ladies and gentlemen, to be able to actually see these people while we do this.
Right now I'm gonna watch all the hand movements I do as a DM because like hands are constantly moving. You never stop. Oh God, I agree with them. I thought they were gonna have their stuff.
Oh God. Like all of a sudden we're gonna notice that Andre's camera goes out. I'm gonna be the most aware. Why the less he throws our bait?
It's fine, it's fine. Well, I've been good. The last couple of weeks for work, just been all over Iowa. I've been to Cherokee, Eldora, Woodward, Glenwood, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, just all over the place.
As for the, are you other questions? I forgot them already. What are you working on? And find interesting fact about the world space of the game.
Well, coming up, the high school production of rumors is going, my phone has been blowing up for my senior tech staff. Wondering when I'm gonna come in, I'm like, you know what to do. Why aren't you going in? Let's start there.
So getting that, ramping up somewhere. Got some potential stuff going on with the Des Moines Artist Theater. So that'll be fun. Coming down the bike, nothing official that I've heard, but I don't know.
I don't know. Don't violate that NDA. Right, right. Top secret stuff after all.
And then of course come up in May Renaissance Fair, so we'll see what happens there. A little interesting tidbit about the world. So anybody who's well to do is obviously got their hands in some kind of virtual base thing. So the industrial warehouse district, it's definitely a dark mark on the Onyx, that it's a printed proper shining example of a more accomplished point to North, is there used to be more residential areas, but a large 10 to 25 city block radius of tenements got removed for this industrial warehouse district for the nobility to really pump more industrialization into the area.
It used to be very low key sort of things for you know, kept to a far corner, but because of the rapid growth and the modernization of the Onyx sale, they needed more space in what's an easy way to get space. They'll get rid of ramp-shackle tenements. You know, so a good boost, happy boost for the beginning of the Onyx sale episode. Yeah.
Yeah. All right, well fantastic. Thank you for that addition there. We are going to have the next person who's going to be Andre.
Andre, how are you doing? Cause I got a live live episode, kind of rough for ya. It sure is. I don't.
I'm doing good, doing pretty good. Working. I just finished a show called Trace, so that was fun. Working on this random show called You Ready See, the directors of A.
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's fair. That's fair. For those listening, I'm working on it with Tim.
The directors mean I'm it. But yeah, I'm doing that. And then I got Frin, yeah, I know I've fringed up going on in a little while and a couple of other shows and stuff. But other than that, adding to the world, there has been a delay in the most recent release into the Darn Little Partlet series, which is a series of romance books.
Everyone thinks that something happened to the author. So now fans are starting to go through the works and try to figure out who the author is and see if they can find them. I'm like, I have something about that. What a wonderfully happy offset to my, right?
Oh, fantastic. All righty. Yeah, no, Andre is being, I guess, artist for me high school that I worked at. We're doing Uritosay.
We are doing it in an arena setting. Students have never done anything in an arena setting before. So they're just like very confused by the even thought of it. But we finally got actually the risers and the set and the seats up and they're like, oh, it's starting to make sense.
And I'm like, yeah, trust the process. Trust the process. Just trust the process. Just like every rehearsal where they're like, but where I'm like, you don't see it, I see it.
You will, you will, trust the process. It's, yeah, it's fun. In fact, actually, one of the things is I have teaching assistants and they just got, and right when like the castless came out, one of my students got ahold of me was just like, hey, I have a tricycle. You want me to bring it in?
I'm like, absolutely. And they've been working on basically getting it into working order and the kid who has to ride the tricycle for their scene on the show has been sitting around it like 40 miles an hour in the legs. They're having a lot of fun with that particular part to the point I had to tell them to stop. Put it away.
And I'm like, I was like, I'm glad you enjoy your prop, but you need to stop now. You're enjoying it too much. I'll take it back and add. I need you to ease it off 30% there, super chief.
All right, last but certainly not least, Callista, one of you went up to a piece of media that you might have liked or read. And the fun fact about the world. Well lately, I've been still trying to read the final strife. Just been busy with other stuff, but it's a good plug.
And I keep getting sucked back in every time I pick it up. And the thing about the world is that every cell often, you'll find a random street or alley and the road is just painted a different color. All right, fantastic. I appreciate that.
All right, so now that we got the intros out of the way, one last thing that I want to plug is I have been watching the last of us and my god, do I love that show? Fun, fun story. No, it was good. Oh, yeah.
We are about halfway through Pedro Pascal owning our my owning my life for the first quarter of 2023. Because I got Monday, Tuesday, the catch up on Mandalorian, because I'm three episodes behind now. Yeah, same here. But fun fact, one of the classes I was teaching I was teaching at theater classes term.
And when it started in everything, I walked into the room and a lot of my students started like a big fan of the show too and everything. And they're like, oh, I want to talk about it, but they get smoillery really fast. And I walked in one day having been like, having not watched it immediately when it came out. And I just went, if anybody, what?
And reveals anything, even though I played the game in 2013, when they came out. Oh, if anybody says anything and reveals any spoilers, I will fail them. I am not kidding. So they're like, well, you got to watch it.
I'm like, I don't know. I have responsibilities and bills to pay. So that was a fun little bit about it. So on that note, shall we begin?
Yeah. All right. And we'll send it over to the narrator. Hello, narrator.
Knox, Knox, I know you're there. Come on out. It's acoban. You rang?
Well, my dear friend, I need a favor. It's been a while since I've seen you with the night market. Oh, I'd rather I'm branched out just a little bit. Good.
Well, I need your very particular brand of services. Yeah? What would that be? You remember Toby, don't you?
Oh, yeah. I remember him. You're taking a little bit of a shine to him. Good kid.
He was. Take a look at this box and this note. And now you know why I need your services. Usual price.
It's on the house. You are too kind, dear friend. But I must warn you, these are people unlike anything I've ever seen in the Onyx Vale. So please take this pill.
If you get caught, I shut it to think what they would do to you. It's infused with silver nitrated wolfsbane and garlic flavoured. Oh, good. You know those things taste fucking terrible.
I do appreciate it. Anytime. Do be careful. Anything you can uncover is going to be very, very useful.
Of course. Be here in one week if things go smoothly. Absolutely. And I'm sure I'll find out otherwise if they don't.
Be seeing you, Archibon. Knox. OK, so when we come back, now that we come back, we kind of have this POV over the entire city. It's sunrise.
And we see a title card that says two weeks later. We see kind of an exterior POV shot of the milk made jacket. And we, in an interior, we see a figure kind of like, you know, like a POV shot of somebody like blinking and such as a kind of like waking up. They kind of roll over.
And in the door frame, you see a person standing there. And Abner, this is you waking up. That's all right. You see the person standing in there in their new fancy prosthetic limbs that you guys were able to get from the thing.
It is with Celia. And it goes good. And it goes, ah, it was one of the ones you were going to wake up. Abner kind of rub his eyes and stretch a little ago.
Oh, my heavens, my head. And then it'll see if it's Celia legal. You're standing. Oh, how lovely.
And it goes, yes. How is a little word you weren't going to be? I did not want to trail places. Don't worry about me.
I can stand just fine. And I'll stand up and waddle a little bit. And he reaches out and he grabs and goes, do not rush yourself. Healing is, it takes time.
Oh, sweet little buttercup. Don't worry about it. And he goes, yes, but you did have the shit beat down to me. So I'm worried that the little bit.
And so just so the audience know, left time, Andre, I think it was you maxed out your stress, right? Yeah. Yeah, Andre maxed out a stress. So he took a trauma.
And so his trauma, well, should we reveal it now? Or should we just tell the audience what it is? I mean, we can play with it. We can just wait and play.
And so it's called hooking them through. Yeah, fair enough. And so what's going to happen with that particular part is as part of his exp now, Andre gets more exp if he uses his trauma to start trouble. So keep that in mind as we continue forward today.
So in the meantime though, the ceiling kind of expands the up and goes, well, I didn't put the line. I just had this vision of like Abner looking full punk leather with a mohawk with an anarchy flag. I just wake up and I can still look like that. What happened to me?
Anyway, just not a dinner jack. All right. And so in the meantime though, he goes, he goes, it is good that you're awake. Your friends have checked in on you.
And you think you had another one who worked over at the theater, yes? Oh, yes, Belvedere is a lovely guy. And he goes, yes. And I both have checked in on you.
Also, there was another issue that kind of came up. Oh, you're a mother. She's in town. Abner is going to be like you invisibly just see like all of the energy kind of fade out of his face.
Like his normal like chip herself is it's instantly different. And he goes, now I have a report from some of our men that she is looking for you. Would you like to say hidden for now? She's looking for me.
I think it would be interesting if we found her before she found me. We will. I will have my men look into it and notify her every movements. And once we know more, I will let you know.
Oh, good. Thank you. Now, where are the others? We should get to doing something.
I'm so excited to be back. And he goes, easy dashboard. You don't have to go very far. And we do have something.
And in the meantime, I've sent out people to go notify the others to come this way because this is a weird one. Ooh, do tell. Ooh, over a drink. Let's go.
And he walks outside and everything. And so we'll check in with somebody else on the other side of the city. Who would like to go next? Callista.
It didn't work. It didn't work. All right, I can go. So just like usual, since the last time, Locke has been taking it rough.
He was locked inside of a room under lockdown with everything that was going on and watched Hawk and Abner take everything on the chin. And he knows Abner got messed up. And there's some other things going on where he is ready to light the city on fire. So he is doing some.
He's over once again at the press, the newspaper press, just making sure he's talked to the guards that they've assigned, given the very explicit instructions that if you need to do not hesitate, take the action you need to ensure the safety of this place. And he means necessary. Am I clear? So that's what I think he's at right now.
Just add the newspaper press, making sure everything is good to go, trying to, I think he's overseeing an upgrade in the newspaper because this is the time we do stuff like that, right? Yes, so did you. Because I'm like, oh, I got a clock. I should add to the clock.
So overseeing an upgrade and everything. So what you'll do is we'll do six, and that's going to determine how much progress you make on that clock. OK. All right.
So how many pieces of the clock is it to go? Eight. Eight. How many pieces do you have currently filled?
Two. All right, so with the five, you actually are able to get four o'clock. That's great. No.
You were able to get two more pieces filled out. Sweet. So I think as he's looking at it, they can only do so much there. They're a small paper.
So I think he's definitely looked at volume, getting the more papers out, and definitely looking at trying to expand into other areas of onyx fail that they are not. And he knows that's why he's talking to the guards. We're going to try to branch out, because we're fighting an information war against the other factions. And this is going to be how what we try to say is to add, is we've got to keep spreading our paper around.
So thinking about volume and manpower, I think of the next two logical things. He knows, going forward, I've got to get more journalists and things of that matter so we can up our source material. Well, we have access to us, but this is going to be the next two things that makes sense to him right now. So he's going to keep working on that.
And as you're currently trying to run logistics of what you want to improve on that stuff, you hear somebody kind of run in, and you see it's one of the younger new recruits of the recluse, and they run in, and they're just going, oh, sir? Sir? Yes? What's the other thing you said?
He needs you to return to the milk made jacket. There's been a, it's nothing bad. Nothing bad. It's just really important.
So come on back. I don't know. The fact that you're almost having a heart attack in front of me does give me pause. And he goes, oh, no, I'm just, I'm just wildly out of shape.
I need to slash smoke. So you decided to sprint over here for a non-emergency? The ceiling told me to get you here as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong on that.
It's just, she says, hurry, get your over here as soon as possible, but it's not like you don't have to worry about it too much if that makes sense. Thank you. He goes, of course. Now go sit down before you lay down and never get back up.
Of course, of course. I just wanted to save some time. And the other word time, you kind of a brief flashback about the fact that you spent three years in a void. Like, right.
That's because of my life. I'll never get back because I was falling for eternity. Yet in an instant, yet it's just like, you know, he says, I start to visibly touch. And he's just like, thank you.
Now sit down before you don't get back up again. And so he has, he takes a seat and everything. If anything else you'd like to do, I'll forget. So I think, you know, he goes over to like one of guards, watch him having a corpse on the paper floor.
It's not good for business. And the guard just goes, no do so. So I think, you know, in very atypical, locks fashion, he takes his co-capes, wishes it. Now that he goes.
All right. In the meantime, Callista, what does Lee up do? He's mostly been hanging low. She's escaped twice now.
Right. And how is Lee feeling after everything I have with that? Kind of guilty because she definitely forgot to break clean. And happy that they made it out alive, but really annoyed that she was put back in the slamer in the first place.
Fair enough. And so where is Lee hiding out at? The lowest dungious bar she can find. All right.
No one will find or recognize her. All right. So really, truly, that's in the warehouse district. It's called the Rusty Anchor.
And you're in there. I'll see you kind of hide out in everything. Uh, you hear a voice behind you as you walk up. And that voice goes, hey, stranger.
They sit down next to you. And you notice that it has the mechanical prosthetic that is, belongs to Mal, the friendly sniper that you rescue a few episodes back. And he turns and goes, I see you're kind of on the lam like I am. Yep.
It's just figuring out some ways to prevent this from happening again. There he goes. Any tips? And he goes, well, I don't piss off the cops on the much it usually my first go to.
Or are you talking about something else? No, possibly something else. But I have a theory it has to do with a certain friend of yours who's been bedridden for the past couple of weeks. Oh.
And he goes, I've been talking with the ceiling. I get very bored and not very many people actually check that the radio networks around the city still have a few CB operators, if you know what I'm saying. I do. He goes, your friend, the ceiling is quite a cheddar box, actually.
Again, really. But again, he's one of the few people who still know that the CB operator codes still exist. Give him myself, that is. So.
And what's he saying? Well, that's the reason why I'm here. He needs you to come back. He hasn't seen you for a couple weeks.
And there's something that's come in that he thinks you and the whole crew should look at, not to mention. And there's up and walking again. You want to see that for yourself? Yeah, I want to see him.
All right. Is it the most amazing jacket you are coming with? Are you coming with? Sure.
Why not? Might as well have a kind of action as a scout for the recluse anyway, as a blade. Oh. Has it been an all right time for you?
I don't like the work. It's not too bad. You know me, I used to be an assassin. So it's kind of a downgrade.
But you know, brush yourself off and work the back up to where you work in. Yeah. New organization, new rank, I get it. You're up pretty much.
And so it goes, so shall we head out? Let's go. So he stands up, you leave. And a few minutes later, we see Archibon and Lee basically arrive at the note made jacket at the same time.
And do I see them when they walk in? And so yeah. And so they come from the wall. I think I think before that.
Oh, Lee, did you have some terribly out of shape messenger to try to run to tell you that there's something that might be important, but not an emergency, but definitely actually like it was an emergency to get you back here. Lee's going to just look at him and go, no. I had Mal. Oh, I'm much better way to deliver a message.
All right, shall we? And Mal just goes, and it just kind of does like that two fingers to loosen, then just walks off. And I think the locks just does the like, you know, the head nod. Here we go.
All right. So you walk in the door, and what is Abner doing when they walk in? I think he's trying to convince Fisily to have another drink with him. Oh, come now, please.
One more. Let's do another test. And you both hear Fisily just going like, no, no, we need to be sober for this. We are not sober for this.
It will not imply the importance of this particular notice that we've got to know. Come on. Oh, I'm fine. One more.
One more. Good. We'll take one more, and then he's going to spin around. Oh, bread love, living tart here here.
You seem up about and bright-eyed and bushytale was ever. Why wouldn't I? I had a brush with death and survived. Obviously, I'm immortal now.
I think as you know, locks has a moment of right. And he looks behind him and he sees, here's a question. I'm going to roll a D10. And I'm going to see how many empty bottles are behind Abner on the bar.
Oh, I love this. Oh, Jesus. All right. Well, here's the thing.
It's not that we rolled an eight. It's not that Abner of drink eight. I think he's drank four. And then Fisily has had the other four.
So you've had quite the morning already, gentlemen. I see. And he goes, and he goes, and he goes, and he goes, well, he is very, very, very convincing. I'm good at that.
You know that. That's the word for it. Hi. And you, Viscily, are using very, very convinced.
And they go, I might have had a few too many. This is good to all here. I have something for you all. Something that you should all see.
It takes out. He reaches into his coat and produces a letter. And one of the things you guys noticed, as he before even said it set it down, is it has the official stamp of the Onyx Veil government on it. And he slides it towards you guys.
This wouldn't possibly be them giving us some kind of grab to build a house or anything. And he goes, no, the color of a seal is a different color from that. There's of course not. All right.
I think, you know, block scraps. Lee's going to try to stand shit up. All right. Well, looks like we're just going to roll a few seconds.
Yeah. He draws a little bit of context. And let's see who's faster at it. OK.
That was way more fun. Also, when they're both rolling or reaching for it, I'm going to make it look like I'm reaching for it. But I'm going to grab my drink instead. Oh, I guess I got what I want.
Oh, no, you got it. Rough. All right. All right.
Let's see. Because I have the scenario in my head. This plays out if I lose. Archibon, roll the four.
Lee, we just need your roll. Oh, all right. Details. I'll be honest.
Kind of miss heard you. It's like a second. Oh, well, I could see like, yo, box in a very usual sort of way. You know, he's reaching for it.
You know, and then it comes. Just whack. Never mind. I didn't want to know it yet anyway.
I kind of because Lee rolled a six. And I kind of do it as kind of like a you kind of go for it. But you just see like a hand go smack on the table and just drag away. He's got his hand just out in front of him like, all right.
Fine. Fine. He pulls it away. All right.
What's funny with a video going on right now, I'm like, you can't see this. I got to describe what's going on. I'm still I'm still yeah, we're still acting for each other. Right.
Oh, yeah. That's a great thing about it. You guys are. Can't see any of you.
Oh, that's a great thing about all of this. I get to see how many hand motions I actually do while I'm DMing. He just does. And so you open up the seal and it says at the front of it, it says, dear leaders of the recluse gang, you have been cordially invited to a leadership summit at the governor, the newly elected governor's mansion for Governor Bordeaux.
Lee, send your highest ranking members as we have this. We are wanting to discuss the potential future of the city. It was truly governor Bordeaux. Lee claims another table and says, this is a death trap.
This is obviously a trap. We're all the way that this is a trap. Yes. Of course.
They want to kill us. Why about the leadership all at once? Naturally, naturally. The city goes.
Did you read the back? Now, who writes on the back? He's going to take it. Really?
And so as you flip it over, read the back. It says, yes, it says, yes, failure to attend this gala. We'll have the onyx veil PD actual doorstep attending this gala. They kind of may have displaced from the enemy of the state currently.
They already had a doorstep. I don't know that that's necessarily enough of a driving force, but to have them there more so is a kind of a headache I'd like to avoid. And if they burn it down, you don't get free drinks. Vassilla, you do have a backup in case of a nightmare scenario, do you not?
And they go, yes, I do, actually. There's a place. You know that there's one place in Lietown ship. It was kind of a fish shack.
They said that they want to open a sports bar and grill them. That's very interesting. And I thought, why not? You know, we absolutely cannot.
We must go. All right, fine. But Prasila, can you breathe that direction? I'm worried with all these open candles.
You're going to set it aflame. And it goes, of course, of course. But there is one thing also that you forgot. I am then asked to attend, too.
So who has been asked to attend? I think I'm going to give an itemized list of people? Or I know in the letter, it's a highest ranking. And it says, he said, he specifically gave it to me and then requested the three of you by name.
Interesting. Fine. My name? I just got out and they want me back so quickly?
I don't like being this popular. I think you sound flattered there, Ock. You should be lemon tart. They know your name.
Yeah. Oh, don't be happy with this. The dreaded your voice is ever so palpable. Understandably so, of course.
And you go, there was another thing that the courier said. We are not to bring weapons. Well, that's not obvious. Absolutely not.
We have to bring weapons. No, naturally, of course, we are. Come now. But I just mentioned that I would expect that they're going to check that we are.
We have weapons, so we should probably think I had on that. True. True. Do we not have a very talented weapons method at its mood at all?
We do. We do. Are you all right, Missy Lee? Those forcing to fit you very hard.
And it goes, I am a bit of a lightweight. I'm going to be the sandwich now. That's good. I have a sandwich.
That's good. You need some salt and grease, I feel. Can you add a coffee to that too, Tess? Thank you.
You're going to be coffee. Oh, cool. And, uh, Missy Lee, that is one of the opponents, actually. We got coffee and we got the ice cream dispenser.
I'm all about... Is it working? I've had things. And it goes, no, unfortunately it's not working.
There's going to. I know, but he wants to, but I digress. There's a big dent in the side of it and you have to sometimes smack it to get it to work. Oh, percussive maintenance, I understand.
All right. And so what this particular part is, the only mission that you guys currently have is the gala at the governor's mansion. So you guys will have to be dressed up fancy, but you guys can still determine exactly what this one is going to be. Now, this is going to be...
Yeah, you can determine what type of thing this is going to be, but somebody has to go in and do the social face aspects and they're expecting all three of you to be there. Right. I'm kind of thinking, you know, looking at Abner. I think he's...
You know, they're going to look like it's another high society date, I'm afraid. I know. I can get some fine clothes and stuff. Oh, I know.
I was hoping that you would deliver. Oh, absolutely. See, there it is. Look how happy and chibber he is knowing that you can all leave and whatever you can find.
We get dressed up again. Oh, I know exactly where we'll go. Well, I've already have my phones if they're expecting a westchester. But we should match!
Let's go together! Oh, no. Oh, no. What is Lee's response to all this?
She's too busy thinking about where she's going to hide the weapons. I think you look over at Locke. She's got that like fine. Yeah, eye twitching.
Oh, fine. So you guys are going to have you guys kind of pick the type of heist this is going to be, though it's not really going to be a heist. It's more social aspect than this one. Yeah, the score.
That's a better word for this. Let's talk about... Let's use game terminology. There we go.
And so basically there's six different plans as you all know, there's assault deception stealth that calls social and transport. Assault and pepper. Well, obviously assault might be rough going in guns blazing on the governor's mansion. Right.
I'm thinking this is going to need to be a social straight up and down. You know, just to see it be prepared, but just to see. Yeah, I think that would probably be the second bet. So walking in guns blazing sounds real good.
And so you're all in agreement for social? I am. Yeah. All right.
So that is where we're going to end part one when we come back a little bit over item loadout and start the score. All right. So we are back and it is time for the score, which you guys have all decided to pay a social visit to governor Bulldo's. So before we get started, I'm going to have you guys tell me what your item loadouts are going to be.
I would like to go first. So only because I've been million over and I see. And I'm like, no, no, no, not me, not me. I never remember to do this.
So I've been thinking it over. So I think he's going to take, you know, in the loadout, there's the stuff that's in italics. And I love that I have access to a trained hunting pet. I'm going to put a pin in that.
I would like to somehow RP getting one. Hold on a minute. Yeah. So I think he's going to be ready for anything.
He was considering, you know, as this, as he's walking to wherever we're getting our outfits, what have you, what he's going to bring. He thought about a fine cover identity. He wanted to come in as Archibon Westchester, but I've been called out by name. So here I go.
So I think he's going to take his spirit bank charm because you never know what kind of shenanigans are going on there. He's going to take his vial of slumber essence and he's got his concealed palm pistol for things that he's going to have. So I think I am definitely leaning toward a light loadout and he's going to take with him subterfuge supplies of some kind, a set of tinkering tools and a fine bottle of whiskey. You know, because when you go to somebody's house, it's great to bring something over for the potluck.
Of course. All right. Who'd like to go next? I try to go as slow as I could.
Andre, I'm sorry. You're good. I close are you ready? If not, I can probably go.
He's really hoping you're ready. No, I am ready. Good. But it has to tie in with my costume.
So I was wondering what you had in mind for us to go looking together. Can we? Can we RP that? Yeah.
Like, tie the loadout and RP. Yeah, go for it. And so, after I have an eye on it, hold on, hold on. Andre, do you have costume specs pulled up on your computer right now?
No, no. I only feel like you're lying to me a little bit. I believe you'll like to see that some kind of like ball gown pulled up like where I do the weapons going in the ball. No, but I actually have ideas about that.
Not necessarily about a ball gown hidden. Although they would have had probably would have had pockets. Oh, I think RP, the rest of this loadout thing makes a lot of sense. And so, Abner, where do we go for dresswear?
We are going to visit Abner's best friend, Adela, which also was fun because Adela hasn't seen me up and running in a couple of weeks. And so, you walk in and we see you kind of just walk in kind of like lean against the doorframe and everything. And she has, you see her just kind of like knitting and sewing something. And she looks up and she goes, oh my God, Abner, you're awake.
And she kind of rushes over to you and kind of like gives you a hug and everything. I'm going to hug her back and I'll just go, oh darling, of course I am. Oh, you sweet little tartly. I'm absolutely fine.
As I was telling my friends here, you've met them both before. I brushed death, I survived, I'm immortal. That is obviously clear. And she looks to you two and she goes like, uh, anywho, we are here because it has per usual, we need outfits.
We're supposed to be going to a gal this evening and it would be absolutely helpful. We can match. And she goes, this evening. Yes.
And she goes, I better get my fabric she is. She grabs those and yeah, so tell me what else happens to get everybody into their matching outfits. So we're going to kind of, she's, Abner can help. Yeah, yeah, Abner can help.
He's definitely done a little bit of sewing in his day. At least kind of stitching some pockets in some places to try to hide and conceal some of the stuff that we're carrying. Is Abner going to add some kind of like, I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for? Empororitary, you know, something like, I can see him like, oh, let me see your cape.
Like, you're not touching this fine cape. What are you going to do to it Abner? I simply just want to stitch on a little patch just right about here. All right, and I can kind of see the archibon looking at Abner, but like, no, no, no, this is a fine wist just a cape.
What are you doing? It's fine. Just let me tack on this tiny, tiny little, it's just a little red loaf. That way something happens to you.
I'll know. Just come on. You're going to put a red loaf upon my expensive family cape. Just a small one.
Oh, my. And you know, I think it looks down like it's already too late. Like, if anything, this little like, defiance was a formality at the most. I'll do it.
I'll do it on like, on the inside lining so no one can see it from the outside that way. Like, if something were to happen to him, I can find him. Good. Bread loaf clothing.
I've branded you. Oh, right. I think I still need to go through the rest of my. Yeah.
So tell me what you're taking with you. So since we're getting dressed up, do I need to bring fine clothes and jewelry? No, I can say you're just wearing fine clothes. I mean, it doesn't cost me anything.
I'm just wondering. I'm not sure. If you want to say like, you spill a fancy spaghetti on yourself, then you can have something to change into. No, I have that covered.
I have a fine disguise kit. I'm just trying to go pins when I'm always pictured. I'm going to try in like the breast pocket of my jacket to hide some trans powder. And I'm going to follow Loxis.
We'll be in also bring a spirit being charmed. So don't trust anything that's going down right now. All right. So I get one more thing because two of those are italics.
So they don't count. I'm also just just to continue keeping the good times rolling. I'm bringing documents. It worked once, damn it.
I feel safer with them. If there's any cars, we are ready. We're good. All right.
Lee, how is your? How is Lee going to be dressed up for this? Lee is going to be wearing high heels, very high heels, at least for the time. And now dresses are in a fashion that they are very tight, like corset at the top and then flare out on the bottom for evening gowns.
Can you offer a suggestion? Yes. So, OK, this is going to expose a little bit of a nerdy brain of me. So there were a thing in Victorian era where you could have these pair of pants, but they would open up and look like it would just look like you're wearing a normal skirt, but you could roll back this little bit and boom, you're wearing pants.
And I think those would be super helpful for you because then you can actually move your legs better. Can I have that going on underneath and then possibly be able to shed at the outer layer? It's literally like just a little panel that you would just like button back. Costner design theory 101.
Right. So you would be on the outside and you would literally just button it back and boom you're doing pants. So the big voluminous skirt still a thing. Kinda.
Or the illusion of it in your brain almost like flared pants. No, I do want something more voluminous that way I can have pockets and put stuff in them. That's legit. And then also have slits on the side so that I could reach in to get some of the bags strapped to my thighs.
