Introducing RolePlays: The Bloodbath Adventure
00:00:42
Speaker
but wow um Hey, hi, everybody. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary folks of Universe 999. This is RolePlays, and welcome back to episode six of The Bloodbath. Hey, listen. Last time, what happened?
00:00:54
Speaker
ah Fucking dude got kidnapped. Roy got kidnapped.
Recap: Kidnapping and Church Donations
00:00:57
Speaker
But that was the episode before that one. And then what happened was... And Lorelai and Hitman, Johnny Hitman, Tobias Fumke, whatever his name is, um decided ah they were going to meet Josh and Biff. They didn't decide that. It just happened.
00:01:12
Speaker
And they were running from the holy hells. And ah Judas showed up and all sorts of shenaniganery. But you know what? Nice things happen, too. Judas got knocked out with a bag full of silver and um they met Joshua Christ and they met his best friend Biff and that was fun.
00:01:29
Speaker
And they prayed a little and Lorelai got her hair clip back or her hair tie back. i can't remember which from Josh because Mary Magdalene had it. um And so that was nice.
00:01:40
Speaker
And Josh also gave them three pins that would allow them to get into the false idol of a city known as the Shining City on the Hill, which he claimed was not the one that he goes to, which is actually in heaven.
00:01:52
Speaker
So you already know this place sucks. um And so, yeah, that's what happened. But you still hadn't found Roy. And Roy's just been gone for that whole entire day. Last ah kidnapped by Lilith, which is something that the omniscient Joshua Christ told you was that he was with Lilith somewhere.
00:02:08
Speaker
um And then he disappeared. And I made one narrative error saying that you guys were standing there with an unconscious Judas after he had apologized to Josh. So he's actually not there. He left. So sorry about the last episode, guys. I fucked that up.
00:02:21
Speaker
But outside of that, everything is as it should be. And ah you guys are standing outside of the church where Josh took Biff and ah Judas away after forgiving Judas.
00:02:33
Speaker
And... ah Agent 69 donated all of his silver pieces that he picked up from Judas to the church. And then a little boy in a tiny suit said, I to be just like you when I grow up.
00:02:44
Speaker
And then he walked off the podcast. And so now here we are. So Lorelai and ah Tobias, you guys are standing outside the church after meeting Joshua Christ and his
Journey to the Shining City
00:02:56
Speaker
best friend Biff.
00:02:57
Speaker
And now you're just there. So what do you do? Take it away. All right, well. Guess we go back to that city, you know, that we... I don't know how... Did we find a way to get in?
00:03:13
Speaker
Yeah, Josh gave you three... well Yeah, that's right, sorry. He gave you those three pins, so you pierced yourself with one, like, right away when he gave it to you. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. um and Now that we have these pins that when i I stuck in my ah chest.
00:03:28
Speaker
Oh, is that where i put it?
00:03:31
Speaker
I guess. it can ah Okay, good. I imagine he pinned it on his suit. What has to pierce your flesh somewhere. But it did pierce the flesh. It's just like straight into his chest, like in between the ribs. It's really painful.
00:03:46
Speaker
Love it. Okay. Yeah, because do remember when he said you just have to pierce yourself with it. You said, okay, like this. Yeah. um yeah It's like I was thinking maybe like your arm or your leg or your foot. But yeah, OK, chest work. Every breath he takes, he's in pain. So he suffers minus one going forward.
00:04:01
Speaker
I love it. OK, that's great. I'm going to hold you to it. yeah You're wounded now. Until I take it out. yeah OK, so you are standing there with a ah pin in your chest.
00:04:16
Speaker
All right, Thor and I, I guess we go back and now that we have our our passes, we can get in. So. Oh, is that what that was? Oh!
00:04:27
Speaker
yeah i thought you were just doing some weird rituals of some sort. I mean, I'm not against it, of course, but... ah Yeah, this has to pierce her skin, so here. And he throws Lorelei on.
00:04:40
Speaker
Lorelei. Lorelei, do you pierce yourself with a with ah with the pin? No, she just ah puts it in her pocket. Okay. That dress has pockets?
00:04:53
Speaker
Yeah. Of course it does. cool pocket That's great. Wow. She's always had pockets in there. The one thing that we get in the future is that women finally have pockets in their clothes. Imagine that. They need to hold things.
00:05:05
Speaker
ah Oh, no, darling. She absolutely sewed them into her own dress because heaven forbid she has to go anywhere without a pocket. Heaven forbid.
Invitation to the Bathhouse of the Damned
00:05:16
Speaker
Guess.
00:05:17
Speaker
Oh, heaven forbid.
00:05:20
Speaker
um That's when you know she's serious. Did did ah did did Agent 69 happen to ah notice her not pierce her skin with it? I just put it in her pocket. was ah ah Unless you're being surreptitious about it, I'm sure you just saw her Lorelai. I guess you just put it in your pocket.
00:05:40
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think she was trying to be sneaky. Alright, well, Agent 69 says you need to pierce through your skin with that before we get there or else you know we might have another issue where we get chased by angels.
00:05:54
Speaker
yeah know I just don't think it's a good idea. to do what? Get chased by angels? Yeah, so it needs to pierce your skin. no no, no, no, no. I just don't think that it's a good idea to put this thing in my skin.
00:06:08
Speaker
If we're trying to get into this the Shining City or whatever. Why? isn Demon. Yeah, but like, I don't know. ah <unk>ll I'll take it out if you like go unconscious or something.
00:06:25
Speaker
you want to just try it?
00:06:28
Speaker
um Do you really want to risk piercing my demon skin with this thing from... The Shining City. Do you think Josh or Jesus Josh, whatever it goes by now, ah would would lie to you like that? Like he would just lie by omission?
00:06:45
Speaker
Yes. Really?
00:06:50
Speaker
still hasn't learned all these years. That sucks.
00:06:56
Speaker
Okay, well, um I guess you can just sit at sit this one out. I don't know. Okay. How about if we go up there and I absolutely have to pierce my skin, then will, but I'll just keep it in my pocket for now, and then I'll just put it on my lapel here. It's going like, explode. It's not going to cause, like, You're not going to, like, literally explode, right, if you put that in you?
00:07:20
Speaker
I don't know. That's why I'm not going to risk it, my darling. all Do you want to investigate it? you can You can try to examine it further if you want to see if it's ah something that could be a threat to you.
00:07:33
Speaker
Okay. If you'd like, you could do um like and i think there's an investigation in this game, right? We haven't rolled it in a little while. I'm trying to think. Yeah, there's an investigate There's definitely an investigate skill. Yeah, why don't you just roll an investigate and just, you know, as long as you get a positive number, then you can kind of glean something from it.
00:07:50
Speaker
You got I got a negative one. Can i try to find a pain spray around here so I can like get the truck you know ah fixed up and the coat changed so that we're not recognized as we approach the the city?
00:08:10
Speaker
um Yeah, sure. um Certainly. I would say, yeah, you know that there's one, there's a sign, there's a billboard advertising like the... the um the the goblin truck place. no.
00:08:28
Speaker
It says Dick Michigan on the body. Yeah, the Dick Michigan boys have returned. um Yeah, there's probably like a garage somewhere you could take it to if you really want to kind of get it wrapped up. Yeah, I want to pull into a paint spray on the way up there.
00:08:46
Speaker
Okay, yeah, you could I'm sure you could do that. Alright. yeah, Lorelai, I'll say this at least, like, on your investigate rule. Like, it you don't know how it works exactly, but, like, you would know, like, just the fact that you took it and you held it, you would know right away, like, if it was going to burn you or hurt you.
00:09:07
Speaker
So, like, you know there's, like, no holy energy in it it. It looks like it's just, like, a thing that just lets people track you.
Tales and Infiltrations at the Bathhouse
00:09:14
Speaker
Almost like a barcode or, like... you know, like a scanner, they can just say, oh, you have the thing. Okay, cool.
00:09:20
Speaker
Like, it's just a devotion, like, almost like a cult-like thing that they just see, like, oh, you did that thing, that must mean you're cool. Like, it's not anything holy or artifact or anything like that. Okay.
00:09:32
Speaker
Yeah, you would have felt at the moment you touched it if you did. Like, how you can kind of sense it from Roy's giant cross. Oh, okay. She'll... Here's her skin with it. Fine, then. ah if it'll make you happy, and I'll shut your trap.
00:09:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:53
Speaker
he's kind of like He's kind of like wincing because he's like, oh, geez, he's she's going to explode. And then you hear you hear the sound of a... Oh, no and then And then an explosion happens in front of you, but not where Lorelai is standing, but like a few feet ahead of your truck.
00:10:11
Speaker
ah And then as you see that explosion happen, you see there's like... um what is that ah What is that race called? ah people?
00:10:24
Speaker
huh whites? the whites? yes a whites shows up in front of you ah but it's a W-I-G-H-T it's like a phantom ghoulish thing I'll him some mayonnaise yeah you get he's like I'll take mayonnaise and going to work today Oh, yeah. And he shows up, he shows up and he like glides towards you, his feet kind of barely kind of scraping across the the ground.
00:10:56
Speaker
um And he holds out what looks like a red envelope. Oh, ah no thanks. I'm good. I don't need any... ah He flips it over and it says, from Roy. All right.
00:11:10
Speaker
I do need any. I grab it.
00:11:13
Speaker
And he noticed, I do need any. And he noticed, he's wearing like a little telegram cap and he tips it to you and then turns around and just glides away. oh Oh, I thought he, all right, cool. I thought he wanted a tip.
00:11:27
Speaker
Oh, he turns around and comes back and holds out his hand. Snaps his finger. i give him Hitman coin. He looks at it and he bites down on it. He gets chocolate. like You see, like, he gets, like, chocolate stains on, like, his little white, white face.
00:11:44
Speaker
It's pretty good, though, isn't it? And he tips his hat to you and he goes, Reku! And then turns around and leaves. i want to open the ah I want to open the letter very carefully while driving.
00:11:57
Speaker
so you happen to cook it? Is it a manual? No, it's automatic. It's not a manual, it's wrap. It's a secret in one hand, pizza in the other. you head down the road with your telegram, and you open it, and it says, You're cordially invited to the bathhouse of the damned!
00:12:19
Speaker
um And it has a picture of Roy with a thumbs up with a bunch of like other ghostly looking people. And like ah some angels and demons also posing in the picture. And they're like at like this massive fucking like communal tub. It's got like steam coming off it.
00:12:33
Speaker
And it says, you're invited to the bathhouse of the damned. And it just has a picture of Roy doing all that stuff. And it has ah has an address on the bottom. Oh my god, he's being tortured. You'd note like he has the biggest smile you've ever seen on his face, but his eyes look like they're in pain. He needs help. Yeah, just...
00:12:50
Speaker
This is clearly AI generated. Agent 69 just throws the whole thing out the window and goes, ugh! It's disgusting. You throw it out the window?
00:13:03
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, we know he's at the bathhouse of the damned, apparently. But I'm going to spare your eyes from that scene, Lorelai.
00:13:15
Speaker
It's just like 17 pictures of Roy bathing.
00:13:20
Speaker
I did never want to see that again. Ever. I didn't show Lorelai for the record. When you threw it out the window, it blew back into the back seat. No, I imagined it flew around to the front and then it like got stuck down there and I'm like hitting the windshield wipers trying to get it off. yeah And of course, no arms and legs is like holding on for dear life. It's like, no! No! Alright, so...
00:13:47
Speaker
um We hit the Pay and Spray though, and I want the truck to be red now. It's now red, it makes it go faster. Alright, you hit the Pay and Spray and it's red, and red means it goes faster, because there's like little lightning bolts on the back of it.
00:13:58
Speaker
What do the goblins think? I want to hear the reactions. ah The goblins go like, hey, that's cool dude, good shit. Hell yeah. yeah And then they all hold out their hands for a tip.
00:14:11
Speaker
all I give them all Hitman coins. You know, I want resources to see if you have Hitman coins. Remember, I up my resources to plus four.
00:14:22
Speaker
So i got a plus six on that. Jesus Christ. Yeah, man, you have all the Hitman coins. I also have a million dollars. honey bag You have also have a million dollars? Yeah, apparently from the plus six. I don't know. You know what? At a plus six, I'll say this. You can either pick six random crazy ass things you can have on you that you'll just have, or you could just have a fuck ton of money.
00:14:44
Speaker
aren Really tempting. Can I have less money, but then also some things? You know what? You can have $20,000 in four things. Damn, that's a lot of money. Maybe not inflation.
00:14:56
Speaker
All right, I'll think of it later. I'll think of it later. Okay. Yeah, you don't have to know all the things you have right now, but just remember you rolled a big fat six, so you can have a lot of... I'd say like the higher the number, the more like ridiculous kind of shit you can have.
00:15:11
Speaker
um I'll keep that in mind. All right. So, yeah, you give them all Hitman coins. And even though they're not chocolate, they eat them anyway and they leave. um but They leave you to your nice red truck.
00:15:22
Speaker
um Yeah. Lorelai, is there anything else you'd like to do before you leave? i assume you're going to go get Roy at the bathhouse of the dam. I guess if we have to.
00:15:33
Speaker
I do have a question. Is the cross in the back of the truck still? yes Yes. It is? Okay. Okay. Someone tried to steal it in the last episode, but it was too heavy. Nice. Yeah. He literally was like, oh, I'm going to take this. He's like, and almost like got a hernia trying to pick it up. He's like, okay, I don't need it anyway. evan I have a knife.
00:15:49
Speaker
Nice. Okay, so do you guys want to go to the bathhouse of the damned? Yeah, I want to drive out to the checkpoint, but before that, I want Got another errand to run.
00:16:01
Speaker
No, I want to on put on a little bit of a costume, I guess. Oh, okay, okay. that What do we have that for you? is that your Is that your deceive roll, right? Yeah, it's a plus five, so I want to i want to basically disguise us, and I want to put a tarp over there. You want to they want to dress you both up.
00:16:22
Speaker
I want to just put on a wig, basically, because I feel like okay that's the most... defining feature of John Hitman or maybe like a hat and sunglasses. i agree. It's usually either just it's usually like some like very generic looking outfit. And then like it's usually the hat or like the facial makeup that really like makes it.
00:16:40
Speaker
um So, yeah. So what do you what kind of disguise do you want? um i don't know. He's going put like a MAGA hat and like sunglasses or something. Okay, Jesus Christ. You immediately burst into flames and die. Hell yeah.
00:16:55
Speaker
ah Sure. you if I'd say if you get a two or higher on your Deceive roll, that like you'll be generally undetectable by anybody, maybe even Roy. ah Okay.
00:17:07
Speaker
Yeah. And then I would also like to disguise Lorelai if she allows me, so that... Okay. but I don't know what would do with her. Lorelai, he tries to put clothes on you. What do you do? Okay.
00:17:19
Speaker
Also, we're not recognized by the guards, you know? Oh, that's a wonderful idea because, you know, I do look like my sister. oh but I might be able to... No. no, no, no. no I'll let you do it. I'll let you do it. Alright, you're going to wear this wig. you make me blonde?
00:17:37
Speaker
Yep. I got one right here. He pulls open the glove compartment. Okay, cause i' like to see if roll to see if if it's a good blonde wig or if it's a shitty blonde wig. I got a plus six on my deceit.
00:17:49
Speaker
Oh, crap. Oh, fuck. My god. what did Oh, because you just rolled all zeros, or three zeros plus one, and you're five. Damn, dude. Wow. Go Pina. Yeah, absolutely.
00:18:00
Speaker
Yeah, man. choose Whatever the fuck you want, man. You you gotta have you have all of it. All right. Well, I'm going to have a tarp. I want to have a tarp to cover the cross, and then i want to be able to put wig on Lorelei. Wait, wait, hang on a second.
00:18:13
Speaker
Do you want to do this as a role as an advantage roll?
Tensions and Disguises Unraveling
00:18:17
Speaker
Like, create an advantage roll? for i think that sounds more like what you're trying to do like with your disguises. Yes, definitely. I think. Okay.
00:18:25
Speaker
So yeah, keep forgetting that we have to declare that. Because we're gonna to get up to the top there. And we're not really, really deceived, but i I just assumed they would recognize us in you know unless we changed everything. Sure. Well, I'd say at this point, if you have the the disguises, ah people are going to be fooled, but you can also use them to your advantage. So you have two free fate points you guys can use because you created such a good advantage. you made a style Maybe it'll be useful against someone else.
00:18:52
Speaker
Maybe. You never know. Yeah. um Okay, so as you guys are driving towards wherever the GPS tells you to go to it's the bathhouse of the dam, you hit ah like a dirt road where it takes you.
00:19:05
Speaker
And then after about maybe another 100 yards of driving or so, you kind of feel almost like a suction of like, but Like you're being swept away by some sort of like massive, powerful current.
00:19:17
Speaker
And the truck starts to move on its own and just go faster and faster. Before you know it, you just kind of see almost like a Star Trek-esque series of just like stars kind of like bolting past you and towards the windshield.
00:19:28
Speaker
And before you know it, you're in what seems like the middle of nowhere next to just this massive kind of shoddy looking bathhouse ah in the middle of nowhere. Like just there's no trees.
00:19:40
Speaker
I'm pulling out that GPS. Where the hell? like what I thought we were going to the city. um You were going to the city on the hill? Yeah, i thought we were going to the fake city.
00:19:52
Speaker
Oh, I thought you were going to the bathhouse of the dam, because that's where... I thought the bathhouse of the dam was in the city. No, it's not in the city. Oh, shit, never mind. I did all that for nothing. ah Well, now you look really pretty, however you dressed up. Oh, he's just wearing a hat sunglasses. He rips that shit off.
00:20:10
Speaker
Oh no, now you lost all your advantages. ah I'll keep it on then. Okay. um There's still credence to using it there, but no, the bathhouse of the damned is not in the city on the shining shining city on the hill. It's just not in the middle of nowhere.
00:20:27
Speaker
Did Jesus tell you that and the bathhouse was in the shining city? I don't know why i heard him say that. and he didn't say that. Jesus just would never lie to you. That's canon. um Put it in park.
00:20:38
Speaker
So you put it in the park. Yeah. So you just get sucked away into the at this bathhouse. It's out in the middle of nowhere. um And you see a sign on the bathhouse of the Damned that looks looks like the the word Damned is kind of like crossed out.
00:20:53
Speaker
And you see um you see it says Limbo instead. Is somebody working on a bike? I hear a socket wrench.
00:21:04
Speaker
Are you working on a bike in your and your apartment right now, Jacob? ah Oh, no, sorry. I got... ah I'll show you a picture or something. i got, like, revolver dice and i've been fidgeting with I'll quit. You got what?
00:21:17
Speaker
A revolver? No, revolver dice, not a revolver. Revolver dice? oh I'll just send you a picture. it's like and that's as And you're ratcheting for what? We'll mute your mic.
00:21:29
Speaker
shit move it was like I thought I heard it earlier, but then like I was just like, maybe it was just in my my headset. But then I was like, wait a minute. I know I hear that now. I didn't think my microphone was picking it up. I'm sorry.
00:21:43
Speaker
No, I was like, I felt like maybe you were putting a wheel on a bicycle. No. Yeah, while we're recording, that would be funny. Yeah, so yeah, we've you know what, I'm just leaving it all in. Hey guys, if you heard that, that was just like... didn't know what that is.
00:21:58
Speaker
That was just Hitman just like ah fixing shit while he drove or something. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen, though. I know. they their They're fucking... They're dice. It's fucking sick. they I love that. Dice?
00:22:10
Speaker
Yeah, if I could get it... Die. They're die. Alright. Anyways, so back to the game. Anyway, I don't know what the purpose of that thing is, but it does look like a revolver, but it's got like little... We'll go over it later.
00:22:23
Speaker
All the bullets are dice. Or die. Okay. the The singular is die. The plural is
Confrontations and Exits from the Bathhouse
00:22:31
Speaker
dice. Come on, guys. They're like little bullets.
00:22:35
Speaker
Oh, I see. Alright, anyway, so he wasn't fixing a bike. I'm sorry, guys. will quit distracting. I will quit distracting. It's nice to figure He's distracto. ah Oh my goodness.
00:22:47
Speaker
You know, can you just turn it on the silent setting on the revolver? That way you can crank it and it doesn't make noise. No cranking it on the podcast either. no crank If I'm not allowed to crank it on the podcast, you're not allowed crank it phone. of rolling a bathhouse really, really got me going.
00:23:02
Speaker
I understand. i no So yeah, so you guys are there at the bathhouse and you see that the word damned is scratched out and it says limbo instead. the bathhouse of limbo um and uh uh so you guys are there what do you do um well uh i don't know why i thought we were going to heaven but uh or the the city well so everything we do is pointless so you don't have to wear whatever right that if you want to be a blonde that's fine but uh should we go in
00:23:35
Speaker
Of course. That's what we're here for, right? We could just drive the truck into the building, maybe. It's kind of a... Is it like a shack? Is like wood? Yeah, it's it's made of wood.
00:23:47
Speaker
I think could go in hostile, you know, just guns blazing.
00:23:51
Speaker
If you want to. say it's about the size of a Dollar General store, ah but it's like made of like really shoddy wood. Okay. and Let's not do that. Let's just be normal people for once, I guess.
00:24:06
Speaker
For once? Fine, if you really want to. It seems like a lot of work, though. Yeah, don't worry. armed to the teeth.

You're out passed it all. He's stolen grenades and stuff, so he's just armed underneath his coat. I love that. got his hat and sunglasses on. All right, here we go.
00:26:11
Speaker
He opens the door, walks towards the bathhouse. Okay. As you open the door, Roy... roy What do they see? Like, what are you doing? Because I'd say you're probably in like the main like area where like the main bathhouse, where the main bath is.
00:26:27
Speaker
So i'm um'm I'm guessing that there's going to be like a little platform or something, um you know, like where where a band would normally play. and And he's going to be standing on top of it and he's going to be regaling all the patrons of the tales of the adventures he's had with Lilith.
00:26:43
Speaker
You it's fascinating things, you know. yeah he's he's ah He's proclaiming that, oh yeah, Will Lilith bubba fucked 350 with a Hellcat swap. you You'd never seen anything like it before.
00:26:56
Speaker
and i Mind you, he the all he's got on, because there's a bathhouse, is a towel around his waist. But hes he's like he's like regaling them with this tale of valor. It's ah it's very inspirational, I'd say.
00:27:08
Speaker
Yeah, and and you see as he's like regaling all these people that the majority of the people within this ah bathhouse, both in the water and surrounding the pool, are all like phantoms. They're mostly translucent. You can see through them.
00:27:23
Speaker
There's a few more solid people there. But for the most part, all the people here are dead and just kind of trapped between where they're supposed to go. and Roy's telling them stories, and they're all like, wow, you're so cool, Roy.
00:27:36
Speaker
When's Lilith getting back? I want to see her buttfuck whatever it is that you just said. What'd you say? Bubba fuck. Oh. I want to see her bubba buttfuck something. like You don't want to see that, trust me.
00:27:51
Speaker
Oh, have you seen it? Wow.
00:27:55
Speaker
It's a rather abhorrent display, but...
00:28:00
Speaker
And as you as you guys walk in and you see him kind of standing atop this platform, kind of regaling all these stories, you see that there is ah there is like a merfolk person standing at the door with like a little spear, and they kind of give you guys a little poke as you walk in.
00:28:17
Speaker
And he says, you're going to have to leave all your weapons at the door. This is a neutral territory. ah What do you get? it Can I use my deceive to say I don't have any weapons on me?
00:28:29
Speaker
Uh, sure. I will say it is going to be a very difficult role. Um, You may have to use those community points. You might too. I'm going to say you need at least a five. five? Ah!
00:28:41
Speaker
Yeah, but your deceive is really high, so. A three? I will use a community point. Okay, well that burns you to a five. So you see he squints really, really hard at you for a really, really long time. And he says, all right.
00:28:55
Speaker
any steps And he steps back and lets you in. And then he steps in front of Lorelai and says, you're going have to leave your weapons. No, that's a neutral territory.
00:29:08
Speaker
Whatever, dude. and Do you leave your weapons? Yeah. Alright, you leave you leave your your grenade and your your dagger? Mm-hmm.
00:29:19
Speaker
Okay. And he says, if you want some better clothing, we have shorts and towels in the back. Please enjoy the festivities. Please enjoy the bathhouse. And, um you know, just no killing, no weapons.
00:29:32
Speaker
um You know, just kind of keep it cool. There are angels, demons, mortals, undeads here. Everybody's welcome. Just um please leave the place the way you found it when you leave. Thank you very much. And then he closes his eyes and just kind of starts falling asleep on his feet as ah Roy's still telling stories in the background. What do you did I'm going to grab her dagger and her grenade while he's sleeping.
00:29:55
Speaker
it's Okay. He wakes up immediately. I saw that. Put it back. I saw what? I saw you take the dagger and the grenade. Put it back. What are you talking about?
00:30:07
Speaker
Now I'm really going to scrutinize you extremely hard. All right, you got me. I'll give it back. You got me. Can you roll another deceive? And I'm going to need you to get a seven this time.
00:30:21
Speaker
What the hell is this? You pissed him off. No, he doesn't trust you now. ill boy i got you're all a five plus two jesus Wow, I'm taking the dagger and the grenade. Okay. He stay lookrenade he just like he like really scrutinized you. like His eyes like almost completely out of his head touching your body. and He's like...
00:30:44
Speaker
Alright, don't let it happen again. He stands back up and goes back to sleep. and I hand Lorelai the dagger and the grenade. I saw that!
00:30:56
Speaker
not you She puts her hands up and just like wiggles her fingers. These are all the weapons I need.
00:31:11
Speaker
See, you're the one that's lying to keep all the things. When you give it to her, she didn't pass anything. the moment The moment you pull that out, he knows you did it. It's like his whole job. but but So right now Hitman has all the weapons but from for everybody.
00:31:32
Speaker
what do you What do you got? She only gave off her dagger and her grenade, though, right? Huh? She only gave up her dagger and her grenade? yeah Correct. Correct. Okay, great. She has something else still.
00:31:44
Speaker
She does have something else. It looks like a necklace. Yeah. um So, Roy, you see your compatriots walk in after getting past ah the doorman or the doorfish person.
00:31:59
Speaker
um What do you do? you engage with them? Does he recognize us? um Oh, yeah, I guess that's a good point. You're both still in disguise. Did you keep those on? Yeah.
00:32:10
Speaker
yeah Oh, well then I take it back. You see a dude in sunglasses and a hat and a blonde woman who has a similar face as your girlfriend. ah Walk in. As soon as the two of them walk in, he points, you two, come.
00:32:25
Speaker
Listen to my tales. Oh, hey, what's up, Roy? Oh, hey. He like looks to the ghosts.
00:32:36
Speaker
I can't be this famous already. I've only started today. No, Roy. And he takes off his... He moves the sunglasses up and like pulls the hat up like a little bit. you know It's me, Roy.
00:32:49
Speaker
ah Hold up. I'm going to roll something. if i get If I get in between 10 and 20, he recognizes you. ire Are you rolling your your revolver dice over there? Yeah. so He really wants to use it. He does not recognize you even after that. He just looks at you confused.
00:33:07
Speaker
He hasn't seen you in a long long while. it's been like It's been like half a day. were you see it For you. For you. It's true. Lilith could have probably like made him forget us.
00:33:23
Speaker
So yeah, he squints, he turns and looks at you. He's like, huh I'm certainly glad my name has grown far and wide. Such are the tales of Lilith and Roy.
00:33:35
Speaker
Yeah, you see this you see this like real buxom demon woman walks out and like starts massaging your shoulders a little bit. And she goes, oh, Roy, I'm so jealous. All the stories you tell about Lilith just makes me think you're even cooler.
00:33:47
Speaker
I'd let you skewer me with a dagger any day. i also would like to know his stake driver is still on his wrist. He didn't take that off. Yeah, I don't know how you got it past the front door, but... Let me do that. If you don't let me do that, that's fine. No, no, no, I'd say it's probably fine. I think you probably just cooled your way. Yeah, I'm just going to say he can't take it off his wrist, so... Yeah, he probably just thinks it's a bionic arm or something. Yeah, right.
00:34:13
Speaker
Um, and yeah, so yeah, this girl kind of like gives you a little shoulder rub and it just like falls backwards into the pool. Um, I would like to note as as she does that, I'm guessing ah you would notice this Tobias. Like as soon as she, she touches him, it's almost imperceptible.
00:34:28
Speaker
ah Roy flinches slightly um and his eyes lose a little bit more of their color, but he, he keeps up the front. love it. Should I roll for that? Do you want to?
00:34:39
Speaker
Go for it. Yeah, go ahead and roll a notice roll. Lorelai, you can as well if you like. I roll the negative one. It would be more like, I think it's actually, ah what was it, like four maybe? I can't remember. Empathy. Empathy is what you need roll.
00:34:54
Speaker
I roll the negative one. They're the same skill. Alright, yeah. So if you want to roll empathy as well, Lorelai, if you want to kind of pick up on what Roy's throwing down, you can. That is up to you.
00:35:06
Speaker
A notice one? and Empathy. It would be empathy. Oh. well you still rolled a zero regardless. so um Yeah. Yeah, so I mean, like, it maybe, Roy, you put that vibe off on purpose or otherwise, but they don't seem to pick up on it.
00:35:21
Speaker
um And, yeah, so you see a lot of these kind of naked or partially nude phantoms kind of just kind of strolling around, oohing and aahing at Roy. Yeah.
00:35:33
Speaker
Roy, you also ah know that like Lorelai or ah Lilith just kind of dropped you off here and said that she would be back sometime. You don't know how long you've been here, but it feels like a really long time.
00:35:48
Speaker
Yeah. What you do? y allll do I mean, Roy's going to continue regaling. I mean, he's going to he's going to put these two interesting folks in the back of his mind as he as he keeps going.
00:36:00
Speaker
OK, good. What's your next story about? which Oh, hold up. yeah He begins, I would like to tell you a tale of when we managed to meet the king of hell himself.
00:36:14
Speaker
That's right. And then ah as he he lowers down a little bit, Lucifer. Now tell me, ladies and gentlemen. Do you know who that man is? I'm certain you recognize the name, but who he truly is.
00:36:28
Speaker
And and that he's he's going to start you know talking about shit like that. he's He's talking like bullshit at this point. He hasn't met Lucifer. Yeah, I think like you hear somebody goes, Oh, the prince of hell?
00:36:40
Speaker
Oh, my lord. And you see like there's a couple of angel guys in the back that are kind of just drinking some hot tea, sitting in their bath towels. And they're just they're just like, He's overrated. Whatever. come um He fell from heaven, come on! Yeah, come on, he lost his wigs, what a dipshit!
00:36:58
Speaker
um And then somebody's like, hey, them's fighting words! And you see that fish man wakes back up and runs over there goes I'll kick your ass if you start fighting in here! No fighting words allowed in here!
00:37:09
Speaker
That's enough! And then he just falls asleep where he's standing like in the middle of the pool. Fucking... That's funny. um So, yeah, so you hear him telling stories. Lorelai, what would you like to do not that you're in this bathhouse?
00:37:23
Speaker
do you ah Do you go talk to anybody? Do you go talk to Roy? You're also in a bathhouse, so if you want to like go bath, you can. It's really up to you. Whatever you think Lorelai would do.
00:37:35
Speaker
um So she is probably listening to all of these tails and is like scrunching up her face like oh god gross and uh she's so she's gonna look for like um like the lady's locker room or something to see she can find her sister somewhere ah sure yeah you can see that there's a there's a demon gal's uh locker room on the other end of the of the space um where you see like a couple of like
00:38:09
Speaker
succubi come out with like towels wrapped around their bodies. ah Then they drop their towels fully nude and then just hop in the water. So you can kind of tell that's probably where you're supposed to go Okay. Do you go in there?
00:38:21
Speaker
Yeah, she's going to see if Lorelai is actually gone. And if she is, then she's going to try to break into her locker. Are you going to see if Lilith is gone so you can steal her stuff?
00:38:34
Speaker
Yep. Okay. So, yeah, you go in there. ah You see there are a few people that are a few um little demon critters that are in there. There's ah there's a couple of kind of small impish looking creatures that are just kind of like rummaging through lockers already, um pulling out whatever snacks they can find.
00:38:51
Speaker
um And you see there's like one demon lady left in there that's just kind of like hanging out on her phone. um And um ah she looks up and she says,
00:39:03
Speaker
ah Hey, weren't you just here? And you dyed your hair? That's weird. Why? i was hoping to get like a different look. What do you think?
00:39:15
Speaker
I don't know. um like You don't see a lot of blonde demon ladies, that's all. um Although I guess they say blondes have more fun.
00:39:27
Speaker
That's what I was thinking too. So i was thinking that maybe it would give me a little bit of a fun edge instead of this whole like bitchy edge, you know, just to make it more fun around here. What do you think?
00:39:41
Speaker
um Sure. Whatevs, lady. um You know, neutral ground here. ah i don't know. I don't think I'm ever going to leave this place. So I already think it's kind of fun. But hey, if that helps you let your hair down, your new blonde hair down and have a good time, then...
00:39:56
Speaker
Go for it, baby. Thank Also, don't think I've ever seen you outside of your dress. You know, why don't you, like, strip down, get in the pool, come have some fun. It feels really good in there.
00:40:07
Speaker
I just got finished, you know. um So it's okay. I will maybe tomorrow, though, okay? I promise we will meet for tea, breakfast, you know, the works.
00:40:19
Speaker
We'll have um just a day together. How does that sound? Sure. ah would you roll a yeah Would you roll a deceive roll for me?
00:40:30
Speaker
And I'm going to actively roll against it, but it's not going to be much. and a plus I lied. They got a three. to ah Okay. I mean, only we didn't burn those community points.
00:40:43
Speaker
I mean, you have your own fate points if if you want to use them, but I mean, that's really up to you. But it's only a three versus a two. So she's just like, ah yeah. Okay.
00:40:54
Speaker
She, okay. Yeah. I don't remember ever saying I wanted to drink tea with you, Lilith, but, um, sure. Fine. Okay. Whatever. And she kind of rolls her eyes really, really hard at you and just kind of gets up and, uh, strolls out the, the locker room.
00:41:08
Speaker
Um. Hello, darling. So now you're in there with two little impish critters that are just bouncing between lockers. What do you do She's going to look for her sister's locker.
00:41:20
Speaker
ah Sure. Give me a notice roll, please. As you see these little imps that are just kind of bouncing around, pulling on lockers. A two. Bless me. um So you, um yeah, I would say you see there are like assorted lockers, is it not like exactly like labeled per se, like with full names, but you see, um like, you know, your sister's energy. So like you kind of see there's like kind of like an aura similar to your own that's kind of emanating from one of the lockers, kind of like a red and blue kind of pulsation coming from it.
00:41:54
Speaker
um So that's probably a good guess that that's where her locker is. As you see, that's one of the only lockers the M's aren't touching. She's going to just break the door off or try to break the door off somehow. You're rip the whole door off?
00:42:10
Speaker
Yeah, she's just going to rip the whole door off. she's not She's going to make sure that she knows that she was there. but Okay, give me a physique roll to rip off the door. To see can I don't have physique.
00:42:24
Speaker
ah You don't have physique? I have athletics. um You know what? Just for sake of brevity, sure. You can do athletic. It's fine.
00:42:37
Speaker
And I did terribly. You rolled all negatives, that sucks. from So you're just yanking on this thing, and you just see these imps just kind of stop and stare at you, and they're like, do you want some help?
00:42:50
Speaker
Yes, please, darling. I was just going to see if you would help me. I've locked myself out of my locker. Oh, well, um you see that little hinge right there? If you just push on it, the door opens.
00:43:03
Speaker
No way! that is brilliant, darling. Yeah, you know, we can't take credit for it. Mortals made it. ah But hey, we're you it's neutral territory. We can use mortal stuff here.
00:43:15
Speaker
Thank you so much for all your help. Sure. ah Can we have whatever snacks are in there? Of course. Sweet. They just kind of sit on the ground crisscross applesauce waiting for you to rummage through the locker.
00:43:30
Speaker
um So what do you do now that you've got the locker door open? but She's going to take anything that ah is in there. ah Literally everything.
00:43:41
Speaker
So yeah, so... snacks She's going to leave the snacks for the imps, but she's going to take everything else. So what you see in there is just like a lot of like... um like get photographs that are kind of like lining the door.
00:43:54
Speaker
Um, you see that, um, funny enough, she also has a blonde wig in there. Um, you see that like, she has like some leather gloves, like a biker jacket, just like a bunch of change of outfits that look like it's like a locker that's infinitely goes back.
00:44:09
Speaker
Um, or a closet rather. So she has a lot of different outfit changes in there. um and She has some sunglasses in there and she has pictures all along the walls. One of which is the two of you together ah from thousands of years ago. looks like somebody painted it Um, she has, uh, several of her and Roy hanging out doing all sorts of crazy shit.
00:44:31
Speaker
One, they're at an ice cream shop together. Um, one of them, uh, they're at a movie theater. Another one there, um, in like some apocalyptic world with like green gases exploding in the background.
00:44:44
Speaker
Um, so there's a few just like crazy pictures where they're just together and they're like action shots. Somebody took the pictures for them. Um, And ah yeah, so and you see also on the top shelf where like you would put like shoes and stuff.
00:44:59
Speaker
You can see there are these three golden pins um that are just kind of laying there loose together. Look exactly like the ones you got from Josh. She's going to grab like the nearest duffel bag and just start shoving stuff in.
00:45:13
Speaker
and then she's going to she's going to take the three pins. She's going to put them in her pocket. But then she's going to turn around, snap her fingers, and incinerate all of the pictures of her and Roy together.
00:45:27
Speaker
oh shit. Okay. So, yeah, they all just, like, they go up in smoke in the locker. And you see the imps, like, jump up and they just start inhaling, like, the fumes from the from the burnt picture.
00:45:39
Speaker
They're like, oh, god, yeah, that's the stuff. Oh, shit. Mm. They're like, praise be to Lilith. We love you, Lilith. Oh, my god. Oh, you're welcome. um And yeah, so that's so you just take a duffel bag full of shit, the pins and you burn her pictures. OK, cool.
00:45:59
Speaker
So and then she walks back out to the bathhouse and then stands next to Tobias. OK, so Tobias, what are you doing as ah Roy is out there telling stories and Lilith or Lorelai just kind of walks away from you heading to the locker room?
00:46:16
Speaker
Do you dress down? Do you get in a tub? What do you do? ah No, I think he just listens to Roy for a little bit because Lorelai clearly is doing something and he doesn't want to like fuck with that.
00:46:31
Speaker
whatever she's planning, because she didn't communicate anything as far as I know. so It's true, she didn't. She just kind of walked away. um So yeah, i kind of across you listen to Roy's story for a little while, and eventually Roy finishes the story about ah some sort of crazy over-the-top experience with ah with Lucifer. So Roy, what does the end of that story sound like when you kind of put the exclamation point on it?
00:46:56
Speaker
By the end of it all, Lilith jumped into the hydrothermal vent to save Satan's dog Cerberus. It was an incredible display of of of agility and bravery.
00:47:11
Speaker
I only wish I could match up to her.
00:47:16
Speaker
As you say that, Lilith walks out. Well, quote unquote, Lilith walks out. um Everybody thinks that's who that is on the other end. There she is! Everybody wow! Like all those like those little those little alien toys in Toy Story. They're like, wow!
00:47:35
Speaker
As she comes out. And um they are they all start cheering. Revolver. Oh yeah. Sorry, it's because I was muted. I'm sorry. I'm just going to put this under my blanket or something.
00:47:48
Speaker
Sorry. it's okay. You see somebody's like cranking with a fidget toy in the pool. It looks like a revolver. ah who like w John Hitman's newest weapon. He's just brandishing.
00:48:00
Speaker
Nice. ah So yeah, as Lorelai walks out, as Lilith, Roy sees her and says, oh, she's here. ah Tobias, what do you do? ah He's going to see how it plays out. You're just going to watch that that unfold?
00:48:18
Speaker
I mean... Uh, I think I think that the best like best bet to just get Roy out of this place is to let people think that she's actually Lilith, I guess.
00:48:34
Speaker
And that can be used to our advantage a lot. Sure. So he's going kind of just wait and see what happens. OK, respond. Roy, would you do an...
00:48:46
Speaker
Let's call it an empathy role. and No, actually, I think it'd be more of a notice because this is more of like a physical thing. no um Could you do a notice role real quick to see um if you can tell that that's Lorelai, somebody that looks like Lilith, but with blonde hair, or if Lilith came back and dyed her hair.
00:49:06
Speaker
Oh, should I use, a should I use, um ah hold up, gain my feet experience over strength, gain, ah ah oh wait, that's creating an advantage, never mind.
00:49:17
Speaker
um Right, this is just straight up, just kind of like an overcome roll. A one. So that's a one. So Lorelai, if you would like, you can roll a deceive roll to see if you can beat that ah to continue the ruse that you are in fact Lilith.
00:49:34
Speaker
um That's a one. Okay. out of yeah So Roy, like you might not have really clocked it the first time around because Lilith doesn't typically have blonde hair. She has yeah black hair. Right. um Oh no, she's the black haired one, right? You're the red haired one, right, Lorelai? Yes.
00:49:49
Speaker
yeah Okay, so she usually has black hair, um but now she has like platinum blonde hair. ah But like, you didn't really notice it the first time around when she came in, but like when she came out and you pointed, that looks exactly like the gal you've been palling around with for the past however many years.
00:50:05
Speaker
Yeah. um He like claps and, oh my god, li Lilith, I didn't notice you. Did you dye your hair or something? He's going to like yeah jump off the podium and and stride over to Lorelai.
00:50:20
Speaker
Okay. Do you like it? Yes, it looks great. Although it I don't know. I think the black hair works. However, and then he's going to like elbow her a little bit. Anything works on you. As he goes back to um tovia to the resounding crowd goes, ladies and gentlemen, Lilith has returned. Ask her all questions you wish.
00:50:42
Speaker
no no No, no, no, no, darling. No, no, no, no. I need you to go get dressed. usually enjoy sort of Because and I are going on an adventure together. We've already gone need you dressed.
00:50:54
Speaker
i know, but we need another one. Now's the time for a rest. No, no, no, no, see, it's going to be an adventure that is going to be a relaxation vacation.
00:51:05
Speaker
That's why I have the wig so that nobody will notice me. So, I need you to go get dressed so that we can go on this adventure together. It's vacation. Because, you know, we've been so, hard. Aren't on vacation right now? We're at bathhouse. No, no, no, no, darling.
00:51:20
Speaker
No, this is just a break from... from all of our fun adventures. Now we are going to go lay on the beach and just relax for like a week. So I just need to go get dressed. Is this the beach couple hundred miles from here? That's why they have the bathhouse?
00:51:34
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no. That's why I'm going to teleport us there together. Oh, I forgot you could do that. um Yes, yes. Oh, well, very well. Humor your patrons for a moment, then, if you will, Lilith, please. so they they I will do my best, but see, our chauffeur's here, so you need to hurry.
00:51:54
Speaker
Oh, dear. I didn't know you had a chauffeur now. All right, that works. No, no. I just, I hired a car so that they could drive us instead of having to, you know,
00:52:06
Speaker
make us walk everywhere whatever, but we need you to we need you to get going. Let's go. Understandable. Well, then as he splits off from Lorelai and he begins to make his way to the locker room, yeah it's like a straight shot and ah perfectly he passes by Tobias Reaper. He leans over and whispers, help me, as he strides once more across to the male locker room.
00:52:33
Speaker
Okay. That's our shofar, darling. No, we're helping you, alright? Don't worry. do you go Do you go with him to the locker room or do you just hang out by the pool?
00:52:46
Speaker
I'm gonna hang out. I'll go the locker room. and I don't want to see that shit. You kidding me? so you see You see yeah people crowd around. they like She points at you and she gestures at you as the chauffeur. So they all kind of crowd around you and um they start asking you guys questions. You see like one of the ghosts kind of chimes in and says, Lilith, g Lilith, Lilith here. It's it's me, ah Roger Dodger from the the Dodger Deadly News.
00:53:14
Speaker
ah Question. ah now ah Lilith. aye Yes. I'll handle this. Okay. Listen, she's not taking any questions right now.
00:53:26
Speaker
What? He just said we could ask her. No, he was lying. He doesn't speak for Lilith. What? what a well I have so many questions, though. Mm-hmm. Is it true that she that she always beats her sister Lorelai and everything and that she's cooler than her sister?
00:53:42
Speaker
ah she's not going to answer that question so just how'd you back off and well okay I mean but I just I just curious and then you see another another one chimes and she says hi Felicia Felicington from the Felicia frog he interrupts her by staring like is it possible to like look at somebody in a way that they feel like they're gonna die I mean most these people are dead already yeah but like double die the double death the dreaded double death purgatory super yeah uh you know what why don't we have you do um let's call it i'm trying to think of what that would be because like there's got to be something like a provoke roll maybe yeah it's probably pretty provoke all right cool let's do this provoke is provoke is the one that you would want to roll to do that well that's a zero so
00:54:35
Speaker
You rolled a zero? ah yeah Oh, you rolled a one. It's at a zero. I rolled one. All right. I'm just going to do a collective roll for all of them. They're all a bunch of dead people, so they're just going to have a zero when they roll as well.
00:54:46
Speaker
Actually, you know what I take it back. They're going roll it poor, I think. And they got a zero at the end of all the dice. So yeah, you beat them by one, so they just kind of looked at this. Weirdly enough, I think they all forget they're dead for a minute.
00:54:58
Speaker
um And all just like, oh, and they all just kind of like cover their mouths. um And you're just kind of standing in silence with like the occasional splash in the pool behind you. um And you're just kind of swimming around. So um ah do you do anything else while you wait for to buy or for ah Roy?
00:55:15
Speaker
Agent 69 looks at his watch a couple times maybe. Okay, roll for checking the watch. um yeah she Wow! Legendary! What the fuck?
00:55:26
Speaker
What a waste of a good roll. David also rolled legendary. for He rolled the plus eight roll that he doesn't have. Oh, okay. Yeah. um But yeah, you're so good at checking your watch without anybody noticing that you checked it.
00:55:42
Speaker
Yeah. And so, Roy, in the locker room, you start to kind of put on your big red coat and everything, I assume. oh and So he goes in there and yeah he sees the coast clear. Has anyone ah joined him?
00:55:56
Speaker
I'd say like a couple of ghosts have probably like started to go in there and then remember that like they're dead and they can't change your clothes and then probably just hang out by the door. Okay. He sees it. Is there any place in the locker room where he could like sort of be out of sight?
00:56:09
Speaker
ah Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's you you can't see directly into it from the the yeah from the bath, so yeah. yeah So yeah, he's gonna he's gonna find a place like that, and he's gonna he's gonna sit down, and he's gonna he's gonna breathe in and he's gonna... Oh, fuck. What did I get myself into? As he, uh, he like rubs his face in his hands.
00:56:29
Speaker
Well, in his hand, because his other one is covered in a steak driver. He's like, Jesus, Lord Almighty. He's go to look up at like the bags under his eyes are like three times as dark. Goddamn.
00:56:41
Speaker
Entertaining these ghosts. i' a Fucking demon hunter. And as he as he yeah drapes off the towel and drops like the three guns that Tobias has given him and begins to ah don his coat.
00:56:55
Speaker
um yo his ah I'm guessing, yeah, let's say it was originally like a navy blue, but let's say um it got tattered over his time with Lilith and it's red now. It's just covered in blood. Yeah, there you go.
00:57:06
Speaker
um So yeah, it's a new fashion statement, as they say. Love it. ah So yeah, you kind of you kind of start to get dressed in everything. And then you see someone who you've known to be here for quite some time kind of start to stroll in behind you a couple minutes later.
00:57:21
Speaker
um And you see kind of like this kind of rippling kind of... um I don't know how you call it. Almost like a vapor kind of creature kind of come in. like They're they mostly see-through, you can kind of see like an outline of like something semi-humanoid approaching you, kind of hovering above the ground a couple of inches And you know, he's a water elemental. He's like the chillax surfer bro of this place.
00:57:47
Speaker
Like he's kind of a celebrity in his own right here. Everybody knows who he is. um And they just they just call him Poole. And Poole just kind of comes in. He goes, hey, you're getting dressed? what do Man, I was just like ready for like round 69. Let's go. Yeah.
00:58:07
Speaker
Unfortunately, I do have to leave. It seems that Lilith, her whims are often fickle and she deems that we must head out. As unfortunate as it is, yes, Lilith.
00:58:18
Speaker
What? She's here? How did I miss her? You know, it's a good question. i missed her when she first walked in as well. She usually kind of makes like a whole to-do when she shows up. That's why I didn't think to wake up from my nappy nap. you Complete agree. She seems subdued, which I'm going to be honest, Poole, I'm a little worried. if she's not making a show of of something, then likely something is up.
00:58:40
Speaker
That is a little spooky, isn't it? Should we go like... I don't know, talk to this Lilith and make sure that like she's good? i didn't even see her when I came in. Where was she at? would wise. She's currently, ah as what unless she has left by now, um she's currently humoring her patrons, humoring those that I've been telling stories to.
00:59:01
Speaker
Oh, the blonde chick out there that everybody was chatting up? yes I said, no, she dyed her hair for whatever reason. You'd think she would have made like a whole, like, hey, everybody, check out my new hair. yeah I would think that as well. Perhaps ah she's waiting to reveal.
00:59:15
Speaker
Or perhaps she was waiting to reveal. And now something is wrong. We'll have to figure out. You see, like, his his w his form starts to ripple a little bit more, kind of, like... you he doesn't show it very often, but, like...
00:59:29
Speaker
that's like a sign that like he's perturbed because he doesn't really have a face. So like yeah you kind of notice after all this time spent with him that like when he's like a little curious or perturbed, like his body ripples a little bit more. And then like it comes back down to like a cooling, like a, like a soothing water, like a stream flowing up and down.
00:59:45
Speaker
He says, all right. Yeah. But yeah, I'm going to go like talk to them real fast. So, um, Hey man, just finished getting dressed, but I'm really bummed. I was really looking forward to another soak with you. So hopefully you'll see.
00:59:56
Speaker
Complete agree, but I will return. i have enjoyed my time here. As he yeah as he you know shrugs his coat off, I'm- or coat on, I'm finished regardless. I will follow you out. Oh, okay. Okay, I was just kind of hoping that maybe as I left you would change your mind and take your clothes back up and do another cannonball into the bath, but um- Yes, as much as I wish I could.
01:00:17
Speaker
Alas, we are- we are ah Our fates are intertwined later on in life, but we must depart for right now. Yeah, that's deep. like He like slaps the ah um the back of the water elementals, like the water elementals, your back in quotations.
01:00:31
Speaker
ah Yeah, just a lot of like ripples as you touch it. Yep. He's like, man, that's like that's like some deep shit. That's like deeper than like the well that I spawned from. That's like, yeah, we're going to meet again. We're destined.
01:00:46
Speaker
I learned that from Lilith myself. Ah, see, that's that's what I'm saying. She seems like she would just, like, say shit. We should go talk to her. I'm really worried that, like, maybe somebody sucked the color out of her hair or something.
01:00:58
Speaker
He, like, stops and he, like, strokes his chin. I'd also like to note, he now has, like, a bunch of stubble on his chin. Like, making change his style a little bit. And he, he like like, strokes the stubble and goes, You know you're right.
01:01:13
Speaker
I have seen stranger things. Hmm. You think that guy in the hat out there, like, did something to her? Like, he seems a bit suspicious. He hasn't done much since he walked in. You make a solid point. I think he was brandishing a revolver as well, which was very interesting.
01:01:29
Speaker
um It must have been a fake one. But yes, let us go talk to Lorelai and the strange man. he better not have touched my revolver dice. Not Lorelai, sorry. Lilith and the strange man.
01:01:40
Speaker
Oh, I know who you met. Lorelei is like her lamer sister that she always talks about. I know they do look kind of similar. Remesis slightly. see She is not nearly as a provocative as Lilith tends to be.
01:01:53
Speaker
Yeah, man. Absolutely. Well, you know what? As I always say, what are we waiting for? Let's go check it out. Ah, I've never heard that one before. yeah What? No, I say it all the time.
01:02:08
Speaker
And yeah, he's going to follow Poole out to Lilith.
01:02:15
Speaker
So he he comes out and just he makes like a big to do as this crowd like he walks out and it's just awkwardly quiet out here. Like just usually there's conversation, there's merriment, there's stories, there's splashing water fights, whatever.
01:02:27
Speaker
And like it's just quiet. And he's like, hey, hey, hey, the party dudes are back. What's going on here, gang? And they all start to cheer again. Yay! And they'll go crowd around him. And like leaving, um quote unquote, Lilith and ah ah her driver ah standing in the middle of the room ah near the pool.
01:02:46
Speaker
And you see like he just kind of like pool just like his water just kind of forms around everybody as he walks through them like a ghost and kind of like picks him back up because he doesn't want to touch any of the ghosts.
01:02:57
Speaker
And like he forms around her and he says, Lilith, so, uh, new do or something? Like, what's with the blondie? Why didn't you come and tell me the moment you got here? Oh, I'm so sorry, darling. Tobias interrupts, and he just says, Roy, you ready to go?
01:03:18
Speaker
whoa Hey, excuse me, sir. I was talking to the lady. You ready to go, Roy? so of Roy like looks slightly confused and he goes, I suppose. Let's go. go wait Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I was talking to my friend, longtime friend, Lilith. I don't know who you are, guy.
01:03:40
Speaker
But like, Roy's my bro. Lilith's my girl. Just like, give us a second, okay? He's leaving. What's your deal? My deal is, how about you back off before I get a towel and I absorb all of you?
01:03:55
Speaker
Hey, hey, hey. This is neutral ground, bro. No fighting allowed in the bathhouse. Roy's gonna, he's gonna like slightly square up to Tobias and he's gonna say, I would advise that you remain neutral here, my friend.
01:04:09
Speaker
And he's gonna like lean in close and say, Tobias, just play along for a little while, please. And he recognizes me now? He recognizes now? I'm gonna say, I rolled the dice again, he recognizes you now. He recognized you as he passed by and said help him.
01:04:23
Speaker
Damn. Yep. Listen, alright, guys, everybody, let's just like chill, okay? Relax. Relax. As the proprietor of this establishment, we have rules, okay?
01:04:36
Speaker
And we don't need this kind of hostility, Ja. I just want to talk to my friend right here and ask her about her new do. You want to take Roy for a little ride? Go for it. He's a free guy. Well, that doesn't have to answer your questions.
01:04:49
Speaker
Let's go. But maybe she wants to. You can't speak for her. This is a progressive place, you and your dumb red hat.
01:04:59
Speaker
So he looks back at you, Lorelai, and he says, so Lilith, the dew, like your hair was gorgeous and beautiful. You've had it for thousands of years. Why change? i just wanted something different, darling.
01:05:10
Speaker
but But why? You're wonderful. And even if you want, ah but you usually come in and you're so happy and you celebrate and you hug everybody and you you you kiss everybody. Like none of that. Like, are you okay?
01:05:24
Speaker
Is that Sky holding you hostage? Yeah. No, no, no. I'm okay, darling. I'm just so tired. i just need a vacation, and that's why I'm taking Roy with me. We're going to go, and we're just going to go relax for like a week, and it'll be fine. And, you know, i just, I'm so stressed, don't you know, because of all of the things that are going on at the moment.
01:05:44
Speaker
so rise Right, right. I just wanted to take a break from everything and everyone. And can you not see that I'm in the middle of ah of a mental breakdown? Mm-hmm.
01:05:55
Speaker
Just, ugh. Yeah. I need a break. You know what? You do deserve a break. And maybe when you're done, you and I can go on a trip. Do you remember the name of that beach that we went to? Where, like, I told you my brothers and sisters crawled out of?
01:06:08
Speaker
um Wasn't it Bates Beach or something like that? What? I'm sorry. What did you say? Bates Beach, wasn't it? Bates Beach.
01:06:19
Speaker
no no No, no, no, no, no. I don't know, Lilith. I'm thinking something else. You are tired. Yes, I told you. I'm so exhausted. What was that? Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
01:06:33
Speaker
Well, hey, you know what? It's okay. Don't strain yourself. It seems like, looks like your hair is going to get gray if you think too hard because you're so tired. So we wouldn't want to see you with gray hair. don't gray hair?
01:06:43
Speaker
No, no, no, no. That would be awful. Yeah, okay, okay. And you see, like, his skin, or his his body just, like, ripples a little bit. Looks like, like, the current's kind of picking up in his body. He says, yeah, um right then.
01:06:58
Speaker
Cool, well, safe travels with you and your new boy toy, ah Roy. Boy toy Roy, we love you here, buddy. Come back anytime.
True Identities and Water Vortex Surprise

Speaker
We'll Home slice and dap some up. I just hear, like, a splash of water when you when you hit.
01:07:15
Speaker
um And he looks over at you, Tobias, and he says, but hey, maybe like check yourself at the door next time, okay there, guy? ah Tobias is walking out and ignoring him.
01:07:27
Speaker
Man, what a vibe harsher. What's with this new chauffeur of yours, Lilith? Yeah, Lilith, what the hell? is that i would I needed somebody more aggressive for me because I'm just so nice to everybody. And she kisses the one guy on the cheek.
01:07:44
Speaker
like She'll put like her hand underneath his chin and just give him a big old peck on his cheek and then she'll walk out. You see the phantom like explodes. He just double killed him.
01:07:58
Speaker
right So I also would like to note, ah Roy still believes that Lorelai is Lilith. He just believes that she like collected Tobias and that's just something she does now.
01:08:09
Speaker
Collects his old companions. Oh shit. Yeah, so he still believes that he's ah he's with Lilith. okay So yeah, he gives her an arm and begins to escort her out. ah Do you go out with him outside?
01:08:22
Speaker
Okay. So, youre doing so he, you see paul is just kind of standing there with this kind of little watery arms crossed. um And he just kind of ripples there for a little while. And he says, well, all right, I guess I'm back to the fun now. Right guys. All right. Everybody who hasn't had their Wang Chung, come and let me know.
01:08:46
Speaker
um And so so ah Tobias, you said you're in the truck. Yeah, and he's honking. He's like blaring on the horn now. Yeah. yeah slides like wait we wait we it's oh impatient let's go ah So you walk out into the barren wasteland in the middle of nowhere and you see the Ford Raptor parked there.
01:09:09
Speaker
um to ah Roy, you see your massive cross in the in the bed of the truck. Covered by a tarp. Yeah, covered by a tarp. Yeah, nicely considered. very nicely considered Hmm.
01:09:21
Speaker
He like like, as soon as he ah puts Lilith in quotations in the car, he's going to go back to the cross and be like, Tobias, is Tobias's window rolled down? Or is he, uh, yeah, he's going to say, Tobias, you, you kept it safe for the past hundred years. No, it's been like a hundred minutes.
01:09:41
Speaker
It's been like, I'm sorry. Yeah. He's like going walk around to the door. hundred and what?
01:09:49
Speaker
I think it's been like, what time is it now? I don't know. What time is it? It's been like a day. Yeah. So you got abducted around like 2 p.m., 2 o'clock. You're saying it's only been a day. You've lived 100 days with me. What are you talking about?
01:10:03
Speaker
Or 100 years with me. What are you talking about? She pulls her wig off. that deta His face drops. which oh It's you. It's just me. Yeah, we got you, buddy. No, it's only been day. I thought Lilith had collected your better.
01:10:21
Speaker
And he looks to Tobias. Oh, well, I suppose. Nah, bro, I would eat one of these if she got me. holds out a cyanide tablet or something well i suppose i should explain he hops into the back or he hops into the passenger seat and because he he wants ah easy line of sight to explain to these two ah what he's been through all right well while that's happening tobias throws it in throws it in drive and
01:10:55
Speaker
does a sick donut, like, as you know, gets out of there, just turns right around, starts driving away. As you do a sick donut and you start to drive away, you feel like, you see, like, the truck starts to go higher and higher into the air.
01:11:08
Speaker
um And you see, like, this, like, vortex form around you of just, like, this rapid water current, just like... Kind of spinning in a circle. And now you guys are like hovering probably maybe like 20, 30 feet above the ground in your truck.
01:11:22
Speaker
And you see like standing here, like hovering outside the, the, the windshield is you can see pool just like with his arms crossed. And he says, not cool, man. Not cool. What you did in there.
01:11:34
Speaker
Pool. What's happening? ah Well, um apparently that's not Lilith that you're with. So someone's impersonating my friend. um And yeah, just don't like the vibes that you were putting off in there, whatever your guy's name is in the driver's seat.
01:11:51
Speaker
So what's the deal? Tobias puts it in all-wheel drive mode. He's like the driver the water. Didn't like your vibes, bro.
01:12:04
Speaker
Yeah, Roy, do you really want to hang out with these dudes? like And honestly, who is this? Is this the shittier younger sister that Lilith is always talking about? So, Roy, he's gonna crawl like out of the nights ah he's going to crawl out of the window and like go to the roof of the car and say, pool, pool, come here.
01:12:22
Speaker
Come here for a moment. What, dude? And he kind of like he like covers over. like just looks like the From the inside of the truck, it looks like you're in a car wash. like Water's like starting to pull into the windows. Right. um As he, like, hovers closer to the truck.
01:12:35
Speaker
What, dude? Oh, he's gonna, like, say real quiet, like, you see, the intention is i want to find out why this Lorelai character was impersonating Lilith. A bit of a favor to a friend, you know?
01:12:48
Speaker
Uh-huh. And in order to do that, I need to travel with them for a while. I see. ah so are you trying to lie to him? Is this... He's she's actually kind of curious as to why Lorelai was impersonating Lilith.
01:13:04
Speaker
Alright, then roll a rapport roll against ah this dude. Rapport. Alright. Yeah. Oh, I actually have it open already. Do you have a rapport? Yes, I do.
01:13:14
Speaker
Might roll bad. A one. Okay, not too bad. I'm also gonna roll rapport for him. Oh, shit! I'd like to use a fate point for this. Alright, what fate point are you using and how do you relate it to... What what aspect are you invoking?
01:13:30
Speaker
I'm going to use my, it's just one of the normal ones because there are no community fate points. And I want to use them. ah You know, given that he's a demon hunter, he is very curious as to the way demons think.
01:13:44
Speaker
It's one of the reasons why he's stuck around with Lilith for so long. And he wants to figure out like why Lorelai was so like intent on being Lilith for Okay, and what aspect is that that you're invoking? Oh, that is ah ah that is a a zealous demon hunter loyal only to his god.
01:14:02
Speaker
Or no, that I suppose that would be single-minded to a fault. yeah Okay, that works too. Yeah. It's like a single mind. That bumps you up to a three, and he says, you know what, man?
01:14:13
Speaker
That's dope as hell. I appreciate that you were like so dedicated to your craft and to who you are. And you know what, guess I'm just a little bummed because I really thought...
01:14:24
Speaker
I was going to get my Wang Chunged by Lilith, but now that she's not actually here, yeah i think I've just kind of like let down. like Do you think that her sister can also Wang a Chung as good? Roy is going to look to like, he's on the roof of the car at this point. He's is's going to like look back and go, i haven't known Lilith for, or not Lilith, I haven't known Lorelai for a long time, but I'm going to hazard a guess the answer is no.
01:14:51
Speaker
You don't think she's good at Wang and Chung's? No, I think i think your ah Wang Chung's skills are subpar, to say the best. Or to say the least. Dang, dude. That sucks. I agree.
01:15:03
Speaker
John Hitman is crawling out of the car while it's in mid-air. He's getting jumper cables and breaking them to car battery and then sticking and getting ready to stick them into pool to try and e evaporate his ass.
Poole's Downfall and New Powers
01:15:15
Speaker
like Okay.
01:15:20
Speaker
You know I don't even – what the fuck do you even have your role for that? um ah Let's call it – God, what would that even be? That's such a funny move. um You know what? Let's call it stealth because like you're trying to – are you trying to do this without him noticing that you're doing it?
01:15:38
Speaker
ah And you have a stealth role that you can use for sneak attacks, right? I don't really know. I think he's just doing this while they're having the conversation. He's just like so... He is not like a good person and all that. And he just has trouble voicing his like you know anger and like frustrations and all that.
01:15:57
Speaker
And he just it just comes out in violence. Right. And he has a desire to murder targets in obtuse ways. So this is like... Okay, then let's just call it ah ah just a fight roll, I guess?
01:16:09
Speaker
Just a straight... <unk>re just I mean, like, i mean like or we could, or, you know, if Poole... It sounds like Poole's gonna back off, so maybe he's like, he doesn't finish, you know? i'm just You're just standing out with the jumper cables on the hood, getting, like, covered in water as, like, he's hovering above you with, like, jumper cables.
01:16:24
Speaker
um and like And so like, Pulse is like, he's like giving this impassioned speech to Roy. So like, you have to make that decision. do you go Do you want to electrocute him? Or do you want to see if he just fucks off? I kind of kind of want to be like, here, hold these.
01:16:42
Speaker
its Okay. Do you want to, do you say that? Yeah. Can I roll the sneak? Yeah. Honestly, you can make it a sneak attack because you have a stunt that lets you use the Seave as a sneak attack.
01:16:55
Speaker
Only if I'm disguised. You are disguised. Oh, I am, boy. Yeah, that's right. You are. All right, yeah. Renew a sneak attack with Deceive.
01:17:06
Speaker
All right, go ahead and roll a fight roll. So that's a five. rolled Deceive. Huh? I rolled Deceive. right but ah Right, I guess, right. But I mean, like, it's an attack roll is what I meant to say.
01:17:17
Speaker
um And so, ah yeah, I'm just going to have him just roll a one because he doesn't know what's coming. um So he gets a one. So you succeed with style against him. So he's like, he hears like, how do you say that to him? Like while he's talking to Roy, like being like, oh I just appreciate it. just really hoped that somebody could wang my chung, you know?
01:17:38
Speaker
You'll find some. These will ah help you wang your chung if you could hold these for a sec. And he says, oh, really? Word? And he turns around and looks at you like crouched down, like drenching wet at this point with like jumper cables in your hand.
01:17:54
Speaker
um Do you just like ja jam them into him? Yeah, i'm like, here, try this. These old oldies for second. Um, okay. You slam him into him.
01:18:05
Speaker
um All the current from the battery just flies into him. And just like sending like this bunch of sparks and yellow light ah out through him. And I'd say he just like turns into like a ah solid husk of like just like this weird outline of a humanoid creature. And it just like collapses onto the hood of your car.
01:18:24
Speaker
um and then No pool! the The current. the current The current stops. I mean, you did a lot of damage to him. You did he did four. um And I don't have him as like a boss-like character, so you did plenty enough to like kill him. so Oh, no.
01:18:40
Speaker
So you just jam into him, and like you see like just the the water current disappears from underneath you guys, and you start to fall. Yeah, well, should have saw that coming.
01:18:51
Speaker
God damn it. I have a Wily Coyote moment at least where the truck falls out from underneath me and I'm sitting in the mirror laughing about this. And I look down I'm like, ah! Sure, you just look at the camera for a second and you hold up a sign that says screwball on it. Oh, shit.
01:19:11
Speaker
um So Lorelai, you're the only one that hasn't acted at this point since Roy was distracting a pool. So do you want to do anything about the fact that you're now falling out of the sky in ah in a pickup truck?
01:19:25
Speaker
I feel like she would feel like she's falling, so she's going to use her demon magic to try to slow the fall. Oh, and what does that look like?
01:19:37
Speaker
So she's going to summon up a bunch of um the ah shadow magic that she uses from the ground, and it's going to look like arms coming up from the ground just trying to catch the truck.
01:19:52
Speaker
Ooh, fun. I like that. Okay, yeah, then let's have that be a will roll. We'll call it just a general overcome roll. Okay. Four. That's a four. I was going to say pass a two at least. So you beat it by two.
01:20:06
Speaker
So yeah, these arms come out of the ground as like after the Wile E. Coyote fall and they cushion your blow, bringing you down safely to the ground. um ah And you're alive now and you did it and you're all reunited.
01:20:20
Speaker
um So what do you do now that you're all together on the ground with the husk of a elemental person on the hood of your car? ah i see i see like one shadow arm just reaching up and just grabbing Tobias out of the air and like setting him gently on to the ground. He's like, screwy, ain't it?
01:20:42
Speaker
um So another one just like, yeah, a shadow hand grabs Tobias, puts him on the ground. What are you doing, Roy? ah You'd notice the ah the wet from the elemental hides the tears.
01:20:55
Speaker
and as said as a As another stream forms on the face of Roy. He goes, it's a terrible day for rain.
01:21:06
Speaker
Tobias kicks the husk off the foot of the car. What the fuck are you doing? as You know me. makes some know As he kicks it off the hood, you see it crumbles into like little ashy piles on the ground.
01:21:24
Speaker
And as it does so, you see pulsing with like a pink glow on and off, on and off. You see something that looks like the shape of like not a humanoid heart, but like you know a heart-shaped ah rock of some sort, pulsing pink on the ground where he was.
01:21:44
Speaker
Roy snatches that. You pick it up instantly, um knowing that that that you now have the heart of pool in your possession. um And it beats and beats and beats and pulses and pulses and pulses before the light finally goes out and you feel it absorbed into your body.
01:22:03
Speaker
And now you have the power to control the elements of water. Baller. Ha! Tobias was going to hand him like a he had like a gallon jug of water in the back and a bucket and he was going like here just throw him in here and he like rescinds his offer As you pull the gallon of water out and you go to say that, so Roy, you can look at that gallon of water and you can already start to see, just by looking at it, you can make the water inside of it start to ripple, looking just like your friend Poole before he was grisly murdered ah by electricity.
01:22:44
Speaker
he He stands tall and he splashes the water in Tobias' face. Oh shit. Not like hard enough to hurt, just like us like it' a little fuck you kind of deal. She's Tobias, you wet.
01:23:00
Speaker
Wow, that's a pretty cool power.
01:23:46
Speaker
