and welcome to another episode of Young Sentinels. I'm your gay mustard happy puke and today with me. I've got four sleepy pee-pee-pee-ees. I've got the Sandman case playing.

Bear knuckle. Why'd they call it oven? What? Got Rip Van Winkle, Maddie playing, Ella Manzer.

It just needs low and true. We got the door mouse Bailey playing Steve. I don't get any of this shit. And we got Sleeping Beauty, Molly playing, Asha.

I also didn't get any of that, but good job. I'm sure it was very clever. I'm sure it was very clever. Those are all sleepy characters.

Yeah, that was sleepy character. Who I post? So we are Real Play-based Podcast, Conoco with everything else on this feed. Would somebody like to let us know what happened last time on the Young Sentinels?

Well, I have the notes. Oh, notes. So we opened the session last time. Hank is making a sandwich researching the denizens, noting that gang violence has gone up, but we took out two of their lieutenants, I believe in a musical number.

And the Mantis is one of their rivals. Stevie is out patrolling. Ella Manzer is also doing research. And then I note that the sky is raining sherbert, at which point Stevie's mode sees it and calls it in.

She spots a ship and a black flag with a white triangle. At which point we head out that way, Hank flies on the mattress with Ella Manzer flying alongside. We talk about how to edit the team is starting to look, which is actually kind of cool. I think we should have merch.

And then we encounter Aasha, who I know has a very umberto-remma style, even though we're in an Alichroz world. She has anime as heck features and silver hair. And she has a pet red orange dog sized mouse named Buzz Square, who is very cute, canonically. Then we confront the pirates.

It turns out that these are like alternate reality versions of heroes that we have encountered. There is a well-dressed man with no eyes named Blind Luck, a lady with ghost lines, a kid with a Nintendo power glove that sums video game things, kill screen I think his name was. And then we engage them. It sounds like their existential space by their idea.

Aasha swaps out Buzz Square for another for a dog sized dog, but Blobby, like a charpeite named Mark. Ella Manzer was stabbed, but healed. We capture the leader with a spectral arm, and we come back to the loft to find Rainbow Hood, a well-dressed man with a rainbow scarf who represents the hoods. Aasha moves in, and we wrap up as Hank offers a make-in for everyone, which is craft mac and cheese.

He's got some very important details. One, Hank has Stevie Fanart on his computer. That's really funny. That's true.

Who was better at having some stuff? The rain and sherbert, this guy was just sherbert. We just, um, and. Or was it raining and it was sherbert colored sky?

I don't know. It sounded delicious. It was raining and it was sherbert colored. Yeah.

Something like that. I was just changing. I'm fucked up Stevie's brain. Real bad.

That was funny. That's where we are. Rainbow Hood has left. Everybody is there eating hot macaroni and cheese.

It's hot. And it's ready. And that's all we can say. This is delicious.

This would taste better if you baked it. I'm sure, but I was just like following the directions on the side of the box. I'm just saying you do not have to follow every recipe to the tea. You can divert.

You can? Yes. My culinary skills are very nascent. So wait, tell me more.

Brr! He goes on to Pinterest. Oh wow. So we should talk about what we're going to do about Rainbow Hood's offer.

I do not like idea of having two O'Favor to gangsters. Even though the favor would be thought we wouldn't have to do anything illegal. Just because something is not illegal does not mean that it is not morally wrong. Yeah, I have to kind of side on that.

It seems dubious. And I'm worried about being indebted in a way that we can't fully vet beforehand. Yes. Plus there's always plausible deniability that could tell us that, oh, you just need to move create from A to B.

There's nothing in create that is illegal, but it's totally completely illegal. Yeah, or it could be some sort of chaos effect kind of thing. We park our car over a manhole and then something someone's not able to escape. And they're able to capture that person and kill them or something.

I don't want to perpetuate a crime, even if we're not actually involved directly in making the crime. And even if we are seen doing something that, again, is not illegal, like, oh, I need you to watch building for a moment. We are having a meeting that is all you need to know. Well, the Valentine's Day massacre somebody in the building.

Whoa. Yeah, this doesn't happen to my world. Yeah, this is our world. You don't have the possibility of death at every corner.

Nope. Oh, that's interesting. This is a whole new world you live in. I fancy a place I've never knew.

Damn it, I was making Pokemon joke. Season two, Joto, brand new attitude. So is there anything anyone is doing this night before tomorrow? Well, at least like putting water in the pot or in the pan.

So it doesn't stick to that. I'm clearly going to clean up policies. He's not looking because I'm not going to do that, damn it. You'll just soak.

What were the hoods offering us? Or was it just just the right? They were going to take care of the gang violence issue, because you have two rival gangs in your town causing problems. And they were going to clean it all up for exchange for a to be named favor in the future.

In the ICICIC. And I do believe we have a week to make that choice. Yeah. OK.

Next day. What's everybody up to next day? I would like someone to take me out on patrol. Yeah.

And maybe show me what you mean by this gang violence. I say with a very large smile. You have do not have like gangsters in your world, no team. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes. OK, yes. We do. But they are they are it's all just for fun.

Me and my rival have a friendly rivalry. We're just trying to be the best there ever was. But there's there's no murder involved. I'm just having a little bit old times.

Do you not have like adults that try to do bad? You know, theft is a very large problem in my world. OK, so the adults that you bad in your world are like gangs here. Except ours kill each other.

I see. But I'll I'll show you. I'll show you this is please to take the child to see the gang violence. I'm just going to take her on patrol.

You know what's actually you're going on patrol with who now with elements are. Yeah. Yeah. OK.

What is bare knuckle and be snow doing? I'm probably going to go on patrol, but like in the opposite places where like how a man's is going. OK. Fair enough.

Well, I'm going to go to the kitchen to check the pot that I left. So go by finding out that it's been cleaned already. I'll be like, oh, well, I guess we have a service that does this. This is great.

No, oh, no. This is going to end up bad. Not entirely clear where everyone went. I figure I'll just have my cell phone handy, and I'm going to watch some cartoons.

OK. Sounds good. Elementor, you get a call on your telephone by Mr. Police.

By who? Mr. Police. He's he's one of the policemen.

He's one of your contacts in the police nation. OK. And his name is actually Mr. Police.

It is now. Hello. Hello, Mr. Police.

How are you today? I'm doing good. So the other day you helped capture a woman. And she says that she wanted to talk to you.

Is this the one that has a black arm and that's sad to me? Yeah, we can't seem to separate her from it. So we have her in kind of a meta-containment cell. So we can't go in there currently while she's awake.

So we have her contained currently, but she says that she wants to talk to you. Just me? I said, just me. I don't know.

She just said the leader of the group that took her down and you're the leader, right? I would assume so at this point. Well, you're the only adult in the only person that's kind of supposed to be. That's the answer.

I'll call my team and bring them down for the linen-tivuing if you're art. If you want your holding there, that's fine. But if you don't, then that's fine too. We're just contacting you because Mr.

Police is your friend. I'm not going to feel about that statement. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know how I feel about the statement, Maddie, as a very safe hearing, Mr. Police is your friend. I look over at Atsa.

Yes, yes. And I say, I have to go interview with Phil and would you be interested in coming along? Absolutely. All right.

And then I will communicate over his saying. Also, I know I have to go interview the pirate, the dimensional pirate that we took down. Would you be able to take over our reach for patrols? I guess, yeah.

Sure. Yeah. And so I set the DVR to record. OK.

All right. Hank or Bearnugle is going out to patrol. Yeah. I'm going to patrol in the little bear form, like hopping from building to building so people can kind of like look up every now and then.

And there's just like a teddy bear popping up from rooftop to rooftop. OK. Oh, OK. So you're doing that.

Beast Mode is still patrolling as well. Beast Mode, give me a notice rule. If it's Beast Mode and Hank just like patrolling, it's basically just like predators wandering the city. Yeah.

Basically, I got a six. You're patrolling around. And you notice that there's a crowd gathered. Not sure if I like that.

I'm going to not like blur and then just kind of jog up to see what everybody's staring at. There is a street magician doing tricks and everybody is kind of enthralled and clapping and watching this street magician do a little thing. Does it feel sinister? Does it look like it's just Chris Angel?

It's more like David Blaine. He's doing stuff. He seems friendly enough. It seems like everybody's doing themselves.

I roll Motif. If you want to, you can roll against it. Sure. I have Motif.

That's not a thing. Well, I meant like empathy or something. I don't have any of those. All right.

I do have empathy. That's because I gave him honor alert for my update. That's a two. It seems like he's just there to have a good time.

He's making a little bit of money. He's up and a hat. He's busking, if you will, while he's doing these tricks. The tricks seem to be pretty impressive.

You're like, oh, how to do that? Unless you believe in magic and then you're like, wow, he has actual magic powers. I don't know what your character's system is. Well, here's the thing.

Steeze, race, do this. That's too legit magic. Okay. Well, yeah, it seems like he's wasting his magic on card tricks.

It seems like I'm not going to judge how a man makes a living. I am going to put like $5 in his hat and then just going to go back to what I'm doing. Aw. That's sweet.

He tips his hat to you and he's like, thank you very much. And he keeps doing tricks. Roll me another notice. That's a plus two.

For like a second, like a split second out of the corner of the eye, you think you see Asia in the crowd, but then you turn to like, look, and she's not there. I'm going to like real quick, just kind of tab my communicator. Element, sir. Yes.

Did you let Asha perform or do the patrolling solo? No, why would I? She's still too new. I'm asking question because I thought I saw her at Weird Magician Show.

Are you talking about the, wait, is this, do I know about the stream magician? No, it's just a stream magician. Okay. Well, I was a tribute like a common thing around town or the city.

Like naked cowboy? Yeah, I think that way. Is he already a naked cowboy? No, he's not a naked cowboy.

She's what's me about. We're about to go do some interview over the next viewing. Interesting. Okay.

Thank you very much. Please punch woman in face for me. We'll do that, but okay. I asked him to flit.

My voice is going everywhere today. We're going to cut back to Element, sir, and Asha, who make it to the police station or the jail, because there's a jail where they have like a few metahumic containment units and the jail wardens is like, well, hello, Element, sir, it's nice to see you. You too, Mr. Brontalong, one of the, I brought along one of my teammates with you.

Oh, that's totally fine. Come on. Come this way. Has she been aggressive this entire time or?

She hasn't really been doing anything aggressive. She just, when she woke up in the containment unit, she just kind of pacing back and forth and said that the only person that she would talk to is the leader of the group that took it down. Okay. And then we walk up to the south and I stare at it and I have a weird moment.

Did we have a conversation before she, we did, right? I feel like I remember about, I don't remember what we talked about before she left. Do you not, like when we were capturing her, she had words for us. She just threatened.

She was just threatening. Basically. Oh, okay. That's okay.

So you're there, you're standing in front of the cell. It's very handable lecture. It's like the thick pain of the force field between you and this, this girl who's pacing back and forth and she's like, oh, you finally chose to arrive. I just got the call saying you wanted to talk to me.

Yeah. A while ago, you didn't really make, hey, did you? That was literally, and I checked my watch. I have for now where I got the call.

Oh, thought you'd be faster. Oh, I'm sorry. Who's in the cage? What?

I mean, it doesn't matter at this point. What do you want? You just want to talk? I don't, I'm not going to wait for it.

I'm not here just to talk. I'm here to offer you something. So you and your crew could be way more well off than you are here. And all you have to do is let me out.

Let me go back, back to get you your own ship. You can join Krieg's crew. You can have your own thing. You can be a scouting party just like us.

Untold riches, millions of worlds traveling between dimensions, taking what we want. I think that's a lovely offer. But I'm sorry. This plane of existence, this realm is well my home.

And I'm not going to do that. You get used to losing it. I haven't lost it yet. Yeah, but you will.

See, the thing is Krieg will come. And when she does, your entire world will be burnt to the ground and pillage devolved resources and the entire, your entire universe, galaxy, whatever you, however far your planet has explored, whatever is going to be stripped of everything and then left to rot. And only the few select that have proven themselves. And I mean, I find you relatively impressive.

I could put in a good word. We'll be able to join the crew and then continue the mission to go on into the unknown reaches of infinite universes and pillage and plunder. I may whisper to Elle Manzer, we might want to get Krieg's contact information anyway. Just okay.

Just okay. I think I go great. I'm just like, why do you want your contact with me since he wants to destroy this world? And possibly us too.

I mean, yes, I do think that that won't be bad. But I mean, wouldn't it be good idea to kind of know where we're up against? Do you actually have a business card or what? A business card?

Well, I mean, you have to go to the, the next is to get in contact with her. But like, I know the way there and my crew can come pick me up and then I can put in a good word and I can arrange a face to face. There's something we'll have to think about before now, I want you to just enjoy your stay here. It's lovely.

You're a cell and everything like that. I'm sure you will probably escape if you really want to get back to your crew. Well, I'm just letting you know, Krieg is more impatient than I. And if I don't report back, she will send more.

We're just a scouting crew. We were just here to see how well intact your reality is. Seems pretty good. And if I don't go back and report, she'll just send more scouts and they'll be stronger and more suited to scouting than I.

This is like a second party, isn't it? What's that? This is like a second attack from like, interdimensional space pirates, right? The last time, yeah, it's the second attack.

Essentially. She's confirming that it's from the steam. Big bad. Yes.

Yep. Yeah. Have a week go back and talk to the rest of the group and we'll be back to talk to you soon. Mm hmm.

I'm just offering you a ship and a job outside of the burning and pillaging of your reality. So I mean, that seems like a good idea up to me, but we can't make a big decision for everyone. Even though I'm the leader, there's more of a voting dynamic that we have. And someone can check their head all day once.

I am more experienced than everyone else. All right. Well, I guess let me know what time is of the essence because Greg is more impatient than I am. Well, time is always of the essence of something I do.

So I'm going to go now and we're going to call the group meeting and then we're going to talk more. All right. Do you leave then? I mean, yeah.

What else am I going to do? Beat her up. I don't really feel like. Okay.

Bear knuckle. What are you up to? I'm out on control. So I have an objective and I have a question.

Okay. The question is how are we doing on finances? Like I'm a student being a superhero kind of thing, but like do I have like pocket change? Yeah, you got a little bit.

I mean, I wouldn't say that you're you're all very wealthy, but you're doing okay. I mean, for students. Arthur is the sugar daddy. His money is all he wrote.

He's just making time already wakes up. So we can't keep spending our things money. I mean, we completely honest because it's fake and it's more exciting. It was fake.

So we can't do this. We can't do this. I'm sure we can. I think that school provides, it's only like I would like to imagine I was probably something I'm completely wrong.

This will provide probably some money for you guys. Yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah, like a small stipend like a. And then like running also there's in like her thing as well because she used to be a sort of on the rise hero and probably got paid that.

So you're not driving around new cars or anything, but like, I mean, you could pick up lunch every now and again. Okay. Yeah. So that was my right.

Because like I'm on patrol, but I also like had an upset stomach. So I feel like I would like to go to the canonically established farmers market and get some kind of like fibrous fruit like that, like sort of help on that scenario. So like I'm on patrol, but I'm like moving in that general direction. Good call.

Okay. All right. So you're moving in that general direction. I'm going to say you get to the farmers market.

There's nothing. Nothing happens on the way to the farmers market. Cool. Yeah.

So I get back. I get to the farmers market. And once I arrive there because I actually have to do some sort of transactions and speak, I'm going to transform back from my little bear form into my human form. So I let it.

And like transform from a shadowy teddy bear into my human form. And I look for some unsettling produce. I feel like he'd be better off as the tiny bear. You're there.

You're going through produce and stuff. You find some good produce. Make me a notice roll. Yeah.

Okay. You're getting some produce. What kind of produce you looking for? Like some fruits.

Like, oh, just say, we'll go easy. I'll grab a couple apples. Okay. Hungry for apples.

You grab some apples. Are you going to peruse around the farmers market or are you going to just grab your apples and go, oh yeah, I'm going to look for nefarious doings going on at the different booths. I'm just going to, you know, hear our stuff. Okay.

You. There's plenty of produce and stuff, but there's also like at most farmers markets, there's like craftsmen selling stuff. And you come across one booth and the one behind the booth, roll me a wheel roll. That's a three.

And then this one behind the counter, she seems to be a wittler. She's wittling carving things into wood. You are like, seem unnaturally drawn to this person. Oh, well, that's impressive.

Crossmanship there. Oh, thank you. I've been working long and hard, you know, holding my skill and I mean, feel free to take a look at anything you like and let me know what you're interested in. Okay.

Yeah. So I'm going to take a look at all of the things that she's been working on right there. It seems like all of the things that she carves are of sags. So there are lots of little wooden figurines of like, deers and sags and sack heads and just that kind of thing.

They're all really intricately done and well made. I see that you have sort of a theme going here. Is this just your current collection or have you ever considered or do you have any other animals? I don't really branch out other animals.

This is just kind of my passion. It's just always been my thing. Well, these are some really cool ones. This might sound like a weird question.

Would you ever consider doing sort of like a scene like a stag being pursued by some sort of bear? Pursued? That seems weird. Why?

I've never really tried to carve a bear though. I guess I could. Are you asking for a commission? I guess it would be.

And if that would be something that I could afford with a small stipend that my school provides, canonically. That sounds interesting. Are you about to spend our money on a wood carving? It's not our money.

It's not our money. It is your money. Well, to be honest, he's the only one from the school at this point. Yeah, that is true.

Wait, Stevie, aren't you technically part? Steve doesn't get shit about the scenario. I went to two classes. You're just odd.

She's like, yeah, I guess I could do that. Give me a couple of days and I'll work something out. Oh, well, yeah. I mean, like I don't want to do that.

I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm just like, yeah, I guess I could do that. Give me a couple of days and I'll work something out.

Well, I mean, I don't want you to get started on it if it's outside of my price range. No, it's fine. She hands you a business, she's like, I'll get working on something and I'll let you know. I'll get started on it and I'll let you know how much work I think is going to be put into it.

And then I'll quote your price. Oh, this can be really cool. My first memorabilia is my superhero career. What's the name on the card?

Janet. This is bad. Thank you. I was hoping it would be Diana.

Dammit Janet. I love screw. Janet Carmichael. Is she related to the mayor?

No. I forgot the way as Dave. Well, Janet, hi, I'm Hank, Hank Hamilton. And I think you're a master of your craft, and I'm very, very intrigued to see what you can do with some direction beyond just, sorry, I'm not trying to put down the stacks, I'm just intrigued to see if you like, like when you branch out, and I don't know, I'm trying to be positive right now, I'm sorry, I'm very awkward.

Oh, no, it's fine. I totally get what you're saying, and I've never done a commission before, but this seems like a very interesting opportunity. These are so cool. Thank you.

Here, she gives you like a little, a really small tiny one, she's like, here, you can have this free. Oh, why thank you? Is it like the size of a figurine that I could use in some sort of tabletop RPG? Yeah, it's about that size.

Excellent. I haven't started a game yet since I moved to this now, but I'd be happy to try it with some people. I have no experience in tabletop gaming, but that sounds very fun. I'm just speaking aloud.

Oh, okay. Unfairly rambling. Fair enough. Well, I hope you enjoy figurine, and call me tomorrow, and I'll let you know what the deal is.

Cool, I see an Instagram account here, I'll check out your portfolio, it's really cool. Yeah, thank you. So I walk away, and I just see what other wares are being sold at the farmer's market. Yeah, there's some other odds and ends, some craft, some antique stuff as well.

Nothing else that really catches your eye. Okay, so now that, so once I've like kind of moved through the farmer's market, I guess I'll get like resume control now that I know that there's nothing nefarious happening at the farmer's market. Okay, all right. We're gonna cut back to Stevie.

Stevie, you're still watching this magician? No, after I gave him the $5, I kind of wandered off. All right, you wander off, what do you up to now? Still just kind of trying to get a feel for the city so I can find the fastest ways to get to like places that I think are likely to get attacked a lot.

So like fastest way to get to the bank. I think we have any museums, old factories. I do when I come back to the loft, I do have a possum that I have just found, it is mine now, and I'm going to look at, hey, you said I could not keep cats that have name tags, this one doesn't have name tags. I'm keeping it.

Okay, you collect a possum. I do. I can talk to animals. Well, there you go, it's got as much to say as a possum does.

It's just always saying, give me that trash. They can try, you don't know. It's very confused. You guys wanna trash for me?

Why does this one keep calling me a cat? I'm not a pretty kitty. Back to the elementor and Asha, you guys are done with your interview thing where you go. I'm gonna be like, so we have something to discuss.

We can do that, we can be back at base. Just want to let everyone know. And then I look at Basa and I say, is there any way in particular you would like to see in the city or anything like that? Where do the gangs reside?

Well, I don't know about the newest one, but I'm sure I know where the polaskeys are, right? Yeah, they have a farm. Yeah. Do they sell where is that the farmers market?

No, no. Yeah, plasky games, plasky and associates. I, farmers base honey. There's like a lot of gray by them, not gray.

Of course you did. Aw. I'll take you out to that farm, but I don't know how well we would be welcomed there. How do we just go talk to them?

I mean, I was thinking about a way we could possibly take care of both of the gangs without being associated with the hoods, but we can't really, you don't talk with them without them wanting something and returning if they wanted them to stop here. And they're so deeply ingratiated into the city that they wouldn't want to stop. I think they would rather kill us than talk to us. I see.

It's very interesting. This world is so new to me. Wait, so the other is the rainbow hoods, the other gang? Are you, is there another other gang?

So there's another gang called the denizens and the leader is under the delusion that she is Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Oh, right. She comes from the Emerald City. We're taking down two of the lieutenants, but the third one got away on a flying couch with a moose.

Okay. Very fascinating. They want to take out the Pulaski gang because, and I quote, they don't want to pay the taxes that are on there. That's on their version of the Yellow Brick Road.

Okay, I see, I see. That's why the rainbow hoods offering to take care of both of the problems. My worry is I don't know what will happen to you to the gangs and everything like that. That does make sense to me.

But you know if Kreeks is gonna come down and destroy everything, perhaps we have bigger problems. I mean, yes, I have to bring that up next time with everyone but I feel like that's more of a, a big, probably major cross over into the new future. I see, I see. I don't know yet.

I haven't listened to all the other episodes. It's only seems like us that have the problem with the speech parents. I don't know though. I can tell you that people in space aren't having that problem.

Yeah, it just seems like us. Yes. All right, so is everybody headed back to the loft then? Okay, everybody needs to back at the loft.

And I have named her Sophia because she is beautiful. May I pet Sophia? If she permits it. I just hope this is that possible.

Before I sit in my hand, since you said that you can speak with her, can you ask her? Yes, and then she proceeds to make the most atrocious, discreet, and sounds because I don't know what possum sounds like when they talk. I just know they scream at their ass. Yeah, it'll be like meh.

She says that it's okay. I extend my hand and I pet and I try to sort of respond to physiological cues that I'm stroking the fur in the correct direction and that it's okay with it. I'm very concerned because I am rather scared right now. Because I just met this wild animal.

What else? Why would you be scared? Oh yeah, but you said you have a rapport. So at the same time I kind of trust you.

And that's why I'm not like on the other side of the room. I'm like trying to be like, Hi, hi Sophia. I guess you live here now. I found her in an abandoned laser tag arena.

Oh, that place. So yeah, everybody's back at the base. You found your possum. You've got a possum now.

Look, I was going to give this possum to Greta Kelly. This is a fully tamed possum. All right, so yeah, what are y'all doing at the loft? I think we need to have a group discussion.

Even though I'm the newest person. Yes, I agree. I was everyone's patrols. I've got a fancy cat.

I'm very glad you have a fancy cat. It's a marsupial. Hank, I was your patrol. Very good.

I have procured both potentially a commission for some cool bare knuckle art. Although I wasn't very explicit about that part. Also check out this tiny little stag. It makes me want to play goblins and garages.

Have you guys ever played? No, but I do love gangster life. Okay, so this might be a good team building exercise where we try to experience a, as before, where as a team we did literal theater. In this case, we'll do theater of the mind.

I want to be the cleric. Okay, I mean, we don't have to like inform strictly to roles. Like we can, you know, like the four party, or four person party composition is the norm, but we could, you know, branch out into other ways. If you wanted to be like, I don't know a ranger, but who would, or something like that.

You know, I'm rangers. Look, I just started playing this game and I picked rangers because I could have a banger. I don't mean I'm actually rangers the fender, but like. I do mean, cleric, so.

I look at the stag and do I sense anything off of it? Not just a wind carving of a stag. It's really well made. Yeah, see, it's really well made.

This is inspiring me. I think that I would like to try to like, you know, again, like we're, a lot of us are new to this group here. Like in fact, it's like a shocking number of new people for a theoretical superhero team. And I think that we all need to sort of like come together and what better way than to share our imagination together and function as a team.

I would be happy to be the garage master. I think we should wait before our, for our team to wake up. You might want to play. Yeah, she might come like, he's sleeping out a lot.

He was in a commasra very one time. I imagine his body is. Yeah, it's just natural state of being, I understand. Also, I think his powers are based off of him sleeping.

So when he sleeps, author is around. And I haven't seen Arthur in a minute. He's being hanging around with the bag as a whole lot. Is there a big shadow over his right now?

No, no, not right now. I think he has to actively like seek out Arthur when he goes to sleep. Okay, so he could be like some other kind of dreaming thing? He could be doing other things.

He says that that's where he draws his powers from. He could be like mentally attacking our enemies right now. We don't know. That's true.

Wouldn't that be true? I think Elementor has buried the lead of it because we got an offer from the Lady Jail. The Beach Internet. Yes.

It was an offer, but it was also kind of a warning because it sounds like Interdimensional Pirates will be continuing to come until our world is destroyed. It don't like that. That's, well, and I'm like holding the player's handbook and like, oh, I guess that takes priority. Just, oh, okay.

We will play at some point. You're not going to worry. Absolutely. It sounds fun and I cannot wait, but yes.

Back to the passcode hand. As you can tell right now, Kreek, as we've learned the villain's name, keeps sending these Interdimensional Pirates, as it seems, to attack our realm and scout it out to see if it's worth pillaging or not. But the person in that we captured has offered to plead for us in exchange for not taking over. We get our own ship and then we also do what they do.

I don't want to take that deal. Sorry. So there have been other attacks. Have they only ever been here or have there been other heroes that have dealt with these attacks before?

I'm sure if you listen to other episodes, we'd hear about Kreek and everything like that. Women, I do not have time for that. I am so... Never mind.

I'm talking about the Russia. I am simply asking because if there is another a circle is to say that it will happen here, if they have another attack, it would be advantageous for them to go somewhere where they do not have people who know about them. So they may not attack this city next. They may attack another city that we cannot get to.

And I think that it's important to share that information. I agree. Also, how fast is the mattress if you have to get there quickly? I think that I'm sure the mattress.

This was our second attack, right, Alex? Yes. I believe I did report it. I should have reported it.

If I did it, I'm an idiot. I'm sorry. This is the bottom of the boat. LAUGHTER I can see what they can do if they reported any other attacks or anything like that.

But it's only just been us so far. So now I'm wondering if there is a reason that it is this particular location? I think it's just because the person got above us just wants to send a dimensional virus, that does. Sounds like a dick move.

I don't know. He's great, though. Wait, can I ask a question? So, Ashia, you come from another dimension, and you found yourself here.

Is there something going off of the hypothesis that there might be something drawing it? Is there a weakness in the dimensional barriers about this small middle and nowhere town? That absolutely makes sense, because I got here in an unknown way. I just showed up, and this has never happened before, ever.

So I would imagine that this must be a portal area. Is there a way to check for that? Because it's either the beach in red and say that there was something that was drawing her to this area as well. I don't remember who.

Somebody said something about there being an energy here. I remember that. Yes, yes. That's also what I feel.

Was it the hood? It was, I think it was the hood. So I said that there was an energy here that we would like to have. That's right.

While we're talking, I would like to break out my laptop and start researching if there's been additional news articles about extra dimensional activity in this town beyond just the time that I've been particularly here. Can I also contact the man in the space station? His name escapes my net the moment? I'm a space station.

Network. Oh, there's a lot of calls into networks. So he's often hard to get a hold of. You're on hold.

I'm really going to message you. Could you just be on hold this whole time? I will literally be on hold at the moment. I just don't really.

It's like hold music. It's some good hold music. I'm just putting it back. I'm sure.

Were you going to say something? Well, so on top of this, I kind of wanted to go talk to the violent gangs. But elements are told me that that's not what you do with gangs. So I understand that now.

But I mean, is there any chance that they might all show up at a big event competition perhaps? It would not be beneficial for them to all show up in one area because then they could be very easily taken up. Like one good size bomb. No more gangs.
