Arrival at Husband Hotel
00:00:00
Speaker
Yeah. Yep. Alright, let us spwink on in. Oh, cool. Spwink? Right. Boink. Boing. Okay, so we start with you guys in the Husband Hotel. The three-star hotel you guys decided... Hey, you know what I realized what I just realized? You named it after a show? No, that we didn't do a recap.
00:00:25
Speaker
Yeah. All right. Let's blink on out. I think we got to go back. No, I think we need to redo the intro. No, we can cut it out in post. You guys want to roll with that? Yeah. Yeah. OK. All right. We are spanking on out.
Introductions and Technical Challenges
00:00:56
Speaker
Hello everyone, welcome to the Pastrytime! I'm Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM, and sitting to my left is someone who absolutely despises Dr. Perri- Dr. Perry, Dr. Pepper Cherry!
00:01:10
Speaker
It's me, Evelyn. I love Dr. Pepper Cherry. I mean, I love Dr. Pepper and I love cherry flavored soda, but I've never tried Dr. Pepper Cherry, so I'm gonna give it a try now. And I've got somebody with me whose random number generator keeps crashing. Yeah, this is exactly why I just use real dice. Just, they're so much more reliable.
00:01:36
Speaker
And I've got someone sitting across from me who's trying to figure out what the best kind of apple in New York is. You know, I just kind of like apples. They're my favorite. I like apple pie, apple fritter, apple... Just put apples in something or just give me an apple. I like apples. They're all good. Yeah, uh... All good. So, uh... Apple good.
00:02:00
Speaker
As a disclaimer, you guys have probably already seen the length of this episode. It is going to be a little bit shorter than normal. We ran into some technical issues before the recording and had to restart the intro. So this episode is going to be a little bit shorter than usual, just because we don't, uh, we are starting 50 minutes later than we normally do. So sorry about that, but without further ado.
Recap of Previous Episode
00:02:24
Speaker
without further ado let us wait hang on oh wait hold on okay everyone no i actually have to say this so last time we did the intro we actually forgot to recap and we restarted we restarted the intro we i almost forgot to recap again that tells you how prepared i am for this all right everybody roll me a d4 we're gonna do this again instead of just that was me dropping it yes we are we're rolling doing this again i got a one again two
00:02:53
Speaker
Well, I got a three this time. Watch me get a four. I can't type. Oh my gosh, I actually got a four. So you did actually get a four. Yeah, so I guess I'm doing the recap this time. All right, so last time, Bruce definitely did not set fire to a house on purpose. And that was the previous episode.
00:03:20
Speaker
That's where we left off You guys started the episode with you guys trying to well first you guys decided to not save the person who was dying inside the burning building or who you assume is dying and You guys ran around I'll try to find a watertight to put out the fire you guys eventually ended up by the beach and you guys
00:03:45
Speaker
Oh yeah, the train station. So there was a train station on the beach because that's how train stations work in this universe apparently. We went down the train station, got some pierogies, got on the train that I had to upload and describe. What essentially the train station is in the beach? Yeah, it's in the beach. It's underwater. Yes, it is quite literally in the beach.
00:04:06
Speaker
You guys hopped on the train that Evelyn described for us very nicely, I might say, and you guys got absolutely no sleep on the whole ride there, except for Walter, who got some really great sleep. You guys arrived, and you got a three-star hotel called the Husband Hotel, where you guys have, well, where we all ended the episode. So that is where we are picking up from. To be fair, we tried, we thought about going into saving Walter's dad, but Walter's just like, nah.
00:04:36
Speaker
Yeah, that is true. Walter didn't want to save him just because he's been an abusive. We discussed it. Yeah, well, Walter's dad's an abusive jerk, so I'm sure he deserved it. Right, without funder and dew, let us jump on in.
Morning Routine at the Hotel
00:04:51
Speaker
Jump. Womp, jump, womp. Yes, the classic sound of jumping, womp, womp. It's the Mario fight. I think your lunch wax is jumping. It's just amazing.
00:05:05
Speaker
Okay, I was looking into Munchlack's lord. I was reading all those Dex entries. He eats his entire weight of food every day. Oh, so Sammy's been starving is what you're saying. Okay, um, right, so now let us once again jump on in. We start with you guys in the three-star hotel, the Hazbin Hotel. You all wake up to the sound of pounding on your door. Bang, bang, bang!
00:05:33
Speaker
Uh, mail for Walter. Mail for Walter. And you hear the sound of sliding paper on the floor. Walter hops up out of bed after a night of sleep. And he looks around. He is out. Do you want Sammy to roll a perception check? Yeah, sure. Go for it. I didn't open my character sheet. Look at me. I am also unprepared. Sammy also slept with us?
00:06:02
Speaker
We got one room. Yeah, you have one room for the four of you. Because rooms are expensive in the three-star hotel. You guys, you guys couldn't... Yeah, you don't wake up. So everyone else wakes up, I'm assuming, unless you guys want to also roll perception checks. But it is very love-banging. What kind would you say this thing? Say it's like eight o'clock?
00:06:30
Speaker
Definitely not because it's eight o'clock right now in higher rail time. So I think Bruce would have been awake for at least half an hour now. Okay. So, um, okay. In that case, um, well, it's eight o'clock now. So did Bruce do anything significant in the 30 minutes leading up to this point? Are there any newspapers in this room or the hotel?
00:06:57
Speaker
Both of you to assume Bruce reads the newspaper. Yeah, both of you to assume Bruce reads the newspaper. You were giving me flack about making Bruce read the newspaper before. Yeah, and then you gave me something interesting that Bruce now cares about inside the newspaper. Now, this has a reason to read the newspaper.
00:07:17
Speaker
Okay, there is no newspaper inside the hotel room. If you wish to seek out a newspaper, you will have to leave the room, which will require a stealth check if you do not want to wake the others up. So we are retconning a little bit and saying it is 7.30.
00:07:31
Speaker
And Bruce is the only one awake. In that case, I think Bruce is just going to start doing like his normal morning routine, like, you know, get up, stretch and just like whatever syndicals do. You spend 30 minutes stretching or is there? Well, no, like there's like usual freshening up kind of thing, getting ready for the day, that sort of thing.
00:07:58
Speaker
Okay. Uh, at any point does Bruce leave the room? No. Okay. Uh, yeah. Um, okay. I'm not coming. An hour isn't long enough to do much investigating. So does he get breakfast? Um, oh, that's a good point. He probably orders breakfast. If in, if there's like room service or anything provided with the hotel room,
00:08:25
Speaker
Uh, you would've had to pay extra for it. I didn't think about that in advance, so I'm gonna say you guys did not. And I'm gonna say there's a... What's the word I'm looking for? Complementary breakfast in the lobby. Okay. Is it a continental breakfast?
00:08:42
Speaker
It's just your typical waffles, sausages, pancakes, you know, stuff you typically see in a hotel, breakfast lobby. Then, yes, Bruce would go out to the lobby to get breakfast. All right. Roll me Stelz, which is cool, I believe, but I include the double check. Stelz is cool, yes. Well, that's cool. Whatever he does, we know he won't wake up same because he is out and we are rolled for that. You've already rolled for that, so unless you roll lower than a five, or lower than a six,
00:09:12
Speaker
I roll a 13 okay uh yeah yeah that's uh i'm gonna say unless you guys want uh no you don't wake anyone up you open and close the door without waking anyone up you guys had the room that was closest to the lobby so as soon as you guys exit the room you can see that there's like a breakfast uh in the lobby next to you guys it's only a few paces away so
00:09:38
Speaker
yeah you know local things waffles sausages would i just described yep cool so bruce has breakfast okay cool we're gonna cut over to the people in the room that are five feet away um it is now eight o'clock and once again bang bang bang goes the door and some guy says uh mail for walter uh
00:10:01
Speaker
Everyone wakes up, except for Sammy, apparently, and Walter hops up out of bed and picks up a piece of paper off the floor. Kara was like, ugh, what is it? I pulled the wrong guy. Okay.
00:10:20
Speaker
All right, so I'm gonna say Walter picks up this piece of paper and before he does anything with it, he wants to make sure you all are there. So he's going to look over at you, she carves, and he just heard you groaning, I guess is the right word to say. And he's like,
00:10:43
Speaker
He sees that Sammy's not awake. He's like, hey, I got a piece of mail. Do you want to check this out real quick? Do you think we should? Yeah, let's whip the others up. And he goes over to Sammy and starts shaking you. Roll a perception check against Sammy's strength, I'm going to say. Oh, that's interesting. OK, hang on.
00:11:11
Speaker
Oh. Oh, boy. Against my strength? Like, my strength modifier? Is that the right role, actually? Athletics would... Well, strength would be athletics, which I feel would be tough. Uh, yeah. Let me make sure I put this modifier. Uh... Okay. So am I just rolling tough? I'm confused. Uh... Let's... Just roll me a straight luck. If you roll lower than what Walter rolled, then we'll say you woke up.
00:11:41
Speaker
No, 20. Oh, no. Sammy is out. Walter rolled a seven. So... Oh, man. Yeah, Sammy is out. You didn't sleep well or at all on the train and you are just out of it. So Walter glances over at Hikaru and is like, yeah, that's not going to work. I guess... Wait a minute. Where's Bruce?
00:12:11
Speaker
He looks around the room and doesn't see Bruce. Oh no. And he looks back to you. I wonder if he took a walk somewhere. And Sammy is the one who would know that Bruce wakes up earlier. And he's asleep. So, Walter is going to say like, do you think we should wait for Bruce? Or do you just... He pulls up the piece of paper questioningly. Wait for Bruce? Well...
00:12:41
Speaker
I think we could go outside and see if if he's there
00:12:49
Speaker
I mean, I guess. If he left, she could be anywhere by now. Do you think he went in and saw Blair by his button? Do you think he's a Blair sort of? Wait, why would he do that by himself? He is the one that has the address. That is likely. Yeah. So he marches over to the door and opens it. I'm going to... No, you rolled a nat 20. Nothing's waking you up.
00:13:15
Speaker
I think he marches over to the door. He gestures forward, he caught her to follow them. I don't know if this is like some weird dumb look of being a munchlax and having good sleeping. I don't know. I mean, it's in character. He's got a good food coma. Munchlax, when Sammy finally wakes up, he's going to have like an extra half of his health as like temporary HP. Oh, actually.
00:13:43
Speaker
Oh yeah, I get to take away my damage I got from last time. You sure do. You got a long rest. Nothing. I definitely didn't roll a nat 1 for a background check. So, Walter adjusts us for you to follow him as he heads out the door. I take it you're following him? So I'll follow. Okay. Yeah. Okay, just make sure. So, we cut over to Bruce. I take it you're still in the lobby, right? Oh yeah, I'm just...
00:14:13
Speaker
eating whatever continental breakfast they had. OK, so as soon as Walter and Chikaru exit the room, you can basically see them. And you guys all lock us. Hey, Bruce. Bye. Oh, hey, Bruce. You didn't let us know you were leaving. I was just going to get breakfast. You guys knew there was a continental breakfast that was free with our room, didn't you?
00:14:42
Speaker
uh yeah definitely yeah definitely so uh seeing that vulture saying that bruce is okay he's gonna walk over to the breakfast and start making himself some breakfast since it's it's there he might as well
00:14:58
Speaker
Yeah, I think my brain was off the whole time when we checked into the hotel. Oh, right, Bruce. I don't remember something like that. The whole reason we even came looking for you. Actually, you probably would have heard. We got some mail. I'm going to say Bruce probably would have seen the Pokemon knocking on the door since you were basically right there. It was a Pelipper. Okay.
00:15:24
Speaker
Yeah, there was a, the usual paliper mailman just dropped it off not too long ago. Oh, okay. Uh, and he holds up a piece of paper. Yes, it's right here. Sammy's out. Let's say like, I can't wake him up. Uh, do you want to wait for him or do you want to? I know just how to wake Sammy up. We've been friends for years.
00:15:46
Speaker
Oh, boy. I wear to Arceus above if you set this hotel on fire. And which is that? I'm going to go over to the Continental breakfast, like serving area.
00:16:03
Speaker
and grab whatever kind of like bacon substitute they have because you know no meat but like there's got to be some sort of bacon thing and uh yeah yeah there's bacon bacon uh yeah there's vegan bacon it's boca bacon yeah so yep so i'm grabbing some boca bacon
00:16:25
Speaker
And yeah, I'm just going to sort of walk back over to the room and just laughed it in Sammy's direction. Okay. That good smell. I need Sam. I guess an important question is, do you go, are you just at the door or do you go up to Sammy? Oh, I go up to Sammy. I hope the bacon just out of reach. I need Sammy to roll Constitution with triple disadvantage.
00:16:53
Speaker
And I want... That's 4 D20s. I want Bruce to roll a D20 for... Just straight up luck. If Sammy gets a roll lower than Bruce's, he'll wake up. Constitution is wisdom, which should be... I always forget. Is that beauty? That's beauty. Okay. Yeah, it's beauty.
00:17:24
Speaker
Okay. I got two eights, a fifteen, and a four. Okay, so... And eleven. Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah. Sammy just springs awake at the slightest hint of Boca Bacon. Sammy gets up and does that caveman Spongebob meme. Suppose. Looking back and forth. Where's the bacon?
00:17:54
Speaker
Hey Sammy, the others couldn't wake you up. I had to take the extreme measures. I brought you a plate of bacon. There's more content of a breakfast out in the lobby. I tackle him. Wait, what? I'm diving for that bacon, man. I am hungry. Okay.
00:18:23
Speaker
Uh, sure. Uh, Sammy rolls strength against Bruce's... dexterity. Okay. 14 plus 1 is 15. Oh. I got another 11. And Sammy has... John? You with us? Yes. Okay. Uh, what, uh... And what if you just tell me what I did? Oh, uh, you're rolling, uh...
00:18:51
Speaker
Yeah, I said 14 plus 1 is 15. Oh, I'm sorry. I must have either blanked out because I was posting a picture of SpongeBob in the group chat. I was just holding out the plate of bacon, and I guess... Yes, and I'm... Animal instincts kicked in. Okay, so Sammy rolled a 15, Eli rolled an 11. Is that correct? Yeah.
00:19:19
Speaker
Alright, so Eli falls to the ground of boca bacon everywhere, and Sammy is on top of Bruce. You do this every time! You have no idea what it's like to be a munchlek so I'm always hungry, Bruce. Oh man, I'm very grateful for that. Anyway, thank you buddy, thanks for waking me up and giving me this delicious breakfast, is there more?
00:19:47
Speaker
There is. There is more out in the lobby. If you just get off me first, please. I'm already gone. As soon as you said there was more, I'm wrong. Sammy is just gone. OK, so Sammy's out eating breakfast. The three of you are currently in the room. Are you guys going to go out and eat breakfast or are you going to discuss this letter? I mean, the whole purpose of waking Sammy up was to get us all together to
00:20:17
Speaker
go through this letter. Well, that didn't seem to work out so well, now did it? I figured I just went back to the room by myself while the other two were grabbing breakfast. That's what I thought too. I didn't think the other two were with me. Okay. Yeah, I thought they were eating, yeah. Are you guys going out to see Sammy? Uh, yeah. Um, I've had like, I'll say that I've had three strips of Boca bacon.
00:20:48
Speaker
a waffle with pineapple berries on it and a glass of orange juice. And I'll head back in. Okay. So, uh, before all of that, uh, semi-romy constitution again.
Walter's Family Mail and Concerns
00:21:06
Speaker
As you are on an animalistic rage for food, I need to see how much you actually consume before the others get to it. 14.
00:21:15
Speaker
14 and so you managed to control yourself just enough to seem civilized But after all Bruce that's fine we're in private but when we're down when we're down at the breakfast hall as As Sammy is finishing up his breakfast more than half of the breakfast bar is gone. Oh That's some good breakfast right there
00:21:46
Speaker
yeah uh actually i want to do the math on this real quick you said that uh a munchlax eats its eats its own weight in uh in a day right yeah assuming you have three meals a day that means you have consumed approximately 83 pounds of food or just now oh my god that's assuming he eats the same amount at every meal
00:22:16
Speaker
yeah that is true there was definitely not 83 pounds of food at this breakfast buffet so uh i'm gonna say even though half over half of the breakfast buffet is gone you are still hungry you have only eaten 40 pounds of food you've only eaten 40 pounds of food like that's a small amount oh man it is for me anyway
00:22:46
Speaker
Oh, that is so weird. Sorry, I looked up Munchlax Wait. Underneath it, it says people also search for. That has gotta be a coincidence. Because I have not looked these up. It says people also search for Riolu Wait and Pikachu Wait. That has gotta be a coincidence. Okay. I guess so, yeah.
00:23:13
Speaker
They were, uh, Munchlice and Riolu were both, like, released early. They were both released early, yeah. Right, so to get us back on track, everyone has eaten breakfast, I assume, and is congregating in the hotel room. I did not eat part of the table. Uh, you rolled a 14. As a civilized person, you did not, in fact, eat the table.
00:23:44
Speaker
I'm just laughing at the fact that that was even a possibility. So, Walter holds up a piece of paper and just starts to cue Sammy, and he's like, uh, the whole reason we even woke you up in the first place is because of the mail. Uh, you, I guess you can just tell me there was free breakfast and I live in right now. You were asleep! How are we supposed to tell you who had free breakfast if you were asleep?
00:24:08
Speaker
Oh, I guess you don't know Sammy very well. If you just mention food in his presence, he's wide awake. He will wake up. So he holds up the piece of paper and notices that everyone is around him and he opens up the paper and inside are two pieces of paper. I will now go ahead and read what is on the first piece of paper.
00:24:34
Speaker
It is addressed. I can't read. It says, Dear Walter. Walter, are you okay? I got a letter from Vince saying he abandoned you. I'm canceling the tour right now and coming home. Please send me a letter as soon as you can. Ask Hikaru if you can stay at her place for a while. I know you two are good friends and her mom would be understanding. I've included the letter that Vince sent me. Love Veronica.
00:24:59
Speaker
and for the for i guess i haven't said veronica is walter's mom you guys would probably know that wow for momica yeah
00:25:09
Speaker
at this vulture your mom really cares that's so sweet of her she's the best yeah yeah she's yeah she's really nice see she looks very concerned as he looks at this second piece of paper and the second paper piece of paper says uh hey veronica i dumped that kid finally he's been nothing but a nuisance since you left he's an adult now can fend for himself anyway where's that money i asked for hey you said your paycheck was coming to next week and
00:25:38
Speaker
That was last week and I got nothing Vince Vince I like how he signs off with attitude And I don't remember if I've said this before Vince is Welters quote-unquote dad Yes So you say what's a vigorous no, I said that's right. It was a bigger off. Yeah. Yep
00:26:08
Speaker
So Ultra is very concerned at the second piece of paper and starts getting a little bit mad. I guess I got to stop over at the post office later and he rips up the second piece of paper and throws him the least bin next to him. And then Hikaru just like thunder shocks it and it burns to a crisp. Uh oh, it's time to roll for accuracy. Okay, I was expecting Bruce to burn it, but that
00:26:39
Speaker
Ah, Bruce doesn't care about a letter. That letter can't send any message anymore. That letter can't hurt me! Also, I think Bruce... Just roll an attack. Okay, you hit the waste of basket and essentially it does burn her up. I was just seeing if you either got a...
00:27:02
Speaker
Nat 20 or Nat 1? Yeah, basically. Nat 20 or Nat 1. Alright, so yeah, you thundershock. With the wastebasket and metal, did you electrocute the basket? It is. The wastebasket is metal, and it burns up to milk, but below you here- AH! As someone below you yells out in pain. I thought we were on the ground floor.
00:27:26
Speaker
Fray, uh, you hear the store clerk go, HUH! He yelps in pain. Yeah. So... Oh my gosh, how did I, how did I hurt the, um, the store clerk? Uh, the waste basket was metal and we're gonna say it's touching the ground so it's touching some electrical, I don't know. Yeah, just for the record, I think once Bruce like realized that it was like personal stuff with Walter, he sort of like
00:27:56
Speaker
started only half paying attention. I thought you were going to say he was going to walk away. Well, no, I don't care about that much because Walter wanted everyone to be there for it. But he was going to like, just in case it was something applying to everyone, he was going to be paying attention. But if it was just like personal business with Walter, he wasn't going to pay attention too much. Like, you know, privacy
00:28:22
Speaker
Yeah, Welker's like, uh, well, I mean, you're here, you're right here, Hara, so I guess I'm... Yeah, well, my mom said, I guess I don't have a place to say it's okay if I stay with you for now. I mean, we're here in Volkenburg, but, uh, I mean, surely we're going back to Gale Beach, right? At some point? I hope so. Uh, well, if we do go back to Gale Beach, you're always welcome to stay with me. Um, we've got an extra room.
00:28:49
Speaker
Oh, thank you. I said, yeah, I'll have to go back and talk with my mom. Oh god, oh no, the house, uh, oh crap, I hope someone put that out. Uh, and he starts looking even more worried than he was, remembering that the house is probably gone, and judging by the letter, Walter's mom does not in fact know this.
00:29:11
Speaker
Sammy will go up to Walter, put his hand on his shoulder, and be like, it's all right, we sent a Shopedo and a Wagah Champa over there to put it out, right? And the toadodile. Oh yeah, and the toadodile. And the toadodile. Yeah, we did handle that. Let's just assume it was taken care of. He probably sounds so unsure. It should be probably okay. I sure hope so. I mean, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
00:29:36
Speaker
Anyway, we're going over to, uh, he looks at Bruce B Absol? What's her name again? Blair. Yeah, that's it. We're going over to Blair's place. I guess we'll just stop at the post office while we're on the way.
00:29:52
Speaker
Yeah. Are you going to send a letter? I mean, yeah, I can't have my mom weren't like that. Let's say we set her house off fire. I ran away from a home and I probably in her eyes look like some crazy maniac right now. I can't. She is the only one of our parents that doesn't know what's going on. I don't think any of your parents know that we set fire to my house. So, OK, that's not what I meant. I just meant that we were here and not at home.
00:30:21
Speaker
That's all that's true. She doesn't know I'm here right uh hmm all right before we go anywhere we have to stop at a post office yeah, and He starts walking out the door Sammy will grab some bagels and stick them under his fur on the way out Please please tell me you're not sticking them in your armpit hairs No
00:30:45
Speaker
So they've got the extra patch of fur around like their stomach area. In most of his dex entries, it says Munchlax hides food under their fur, except sometimes they forget that they even have it there. Your armpits are very furry. I will say that. Does it go bad? Sometimes, and sometimes, I think they said that it doesn't often bother them. I don't know. They will eat food whether it's good or bad.
00:31:11
Speaker
Yeah, and I mean a lot of Snorlax's Pokedex entry says that it's not affected by any kind of poison. His stomach can digest any kind of poison. Huh, that sounds overpowered. I wonder if that'll come into play at all. Depends on if Sammy has the ability immunity or not. Sammy has stick fat. Okay, just stick fat. I think that resistance against fire and ice, if I remember right?
00:31:40
Speaker
Okay, that can come in handy in the future. Alright, so, Walter's heading out the door. What are you guys doing? How far away is the post office from where we're going?
Navigating Volkenburg
00:31:53
Speaker
You guys have never been to Bochenburg before, so you don't know. I will look for a map.
00:32:01
Speaker
That's a good idea. I'm gonna say the lobby has some maps there, like some travel guides. Yeah, there's some travel guides there at the front of the lobby. So I'll grab a map. Right. Now, I don't actually have an official map of Folk and Bird, but I have a general idea of what things are supposed to look like. So you look at this map and this is basically what you see. You guys are in the
00:32:28
Speaker
What can I never remember this? I can't differentiate between uptown and downtown. Whatever the skyscraper place is called. That's where you guys are. Downtown. Okay, that's downtown I guess. So you guys are in downtown, wow, I almost said New York. Volkenburg. You guys are not in New York. You guys are in downtown Volkenburg. I'm in downtown of a state. I'm at New York City, but yeah. Oh. Well, we also have a downstate and an upstate. What?
00:32:58
Speaker
I'm not even going to get into that. I don't know that. And all right. So you guys are in the downtown of Volkenburg and you guys are about to see what seems to be 30 minute walk from the. So after Romi, well, investigation, whoever's holding the map, I think he car. Yeah, that's me. What's investigation at the same time? Smart perceptions. No, it's not. Yeah, it's smart.
00:33:29
Speaker
wait oh yeah investigation is smart okay yep i got an 11 okay so after some time you locate house 10th street it is not in the downtown it is like on the very very edge like right where it's transitioning between the downtown and downtown the residential area um you see some buildings around you see a general shop you see uh
00:34:00
Speaker
I don't know the general shops and grocery stores the alarm clock department store bank maybe somewhere
00:34:12
Speaker
You really want me to expand on this. If Bruce ever gets ahold of a map, he can look for it, but he carries one holding the map. So that is what you see. Is there a mailbox around here? I'm going to say there's a like, you guys know, there's like USPS mailboxes, like mail. What are those things called? Are they mailboxes? The big mail collection things.
00:34:41
Speaker
Yeah, mailboxes. Okay, sure. There's big mail collection boxes. And the hotel has one right outside the door. And every morning, they go through that and distribute mail between everybody, which is how Walter got his mail. So, so I guess Walter doesn't could just
00:35:01
Speaker
Drop his letter in the box there? Theoretically, yes. So, are you conveying this to Walter? He is not outright looking for this. Hey, Walter, you know, there might be a mailbox around here that you could drop off your letter in if you want to. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, there was one. I think it's the out, right? Yeah, it's over there. He points out the, I'm going to say glass doors where you can see the mailbox.
00:35:24
Speaker
And he runs back into the hotel room. And he, about a minute later, he comes out with a piece of paper that's folded up. And you can see it has his address written on it. Do you want to show me what you've written? If you give me a couple of minutes, I can write something out. Or just tell me what you wrote. Yeah, give me one second. I'm actually going to write something that Walter would write. You've never written down.
00:35:57
Speaker
So, hey, Caro, you've been working on any more songs? Yeah, I've been writing some songs. I've been writing a song about falling in love. I feel like almost every song is about that. Oh, that's deep, yeah. Okay, so Walter comes out with the piece of paper and you said you're asking him what he wrote? Yeah, if he wants to share it with me.
00:36:23
Speaker
Okay, uh, so she hands you the piece of paper, it's a little bit rumbled, and as you open it, this is what it says. Yeah, seems good enough.
00:36:46
Speaker
Alright, uh, sure. And he takes the, uh, paperback. Uh, you can see on the front of it, it's got his, uh, home address. And it just says Veronica. Sorry, not Veronica. Vince, because Vince is the one that lives in the house currently. Or so you assume, anyway. Uh, and he drops it in the mail slot, and he heads back to you guys. And he is done with his mail, I guess. Yeah.
00:37:15
Speaker
Are you sure your mom is gonna be okay? I mean, to be perfectly honest, I'm not worried, but I feel like Vince is the one that's in trouble right now. Or sorry, my dad, I don't call him Vince. Oops. I'm sure my dad's the one that's in trouble right now. Saying how he set fire to his house. Oh crap, I actually, maybe I should have mentioned something about that.
00:37:44
Speaker
Ah, whatever, we'll be fine. It's too late now, it's in the box. Yeah, let's just move on. We can have stuff to do today. Hello everyone, I'm Dakota, here to thank you for listening to our episode. Our show comes out every other week, Sunday morning. Go follow us on Instagram at PMD Path Through Time, and at Twitter at PMD Path Through Time. That is through SputtyU. In our Discord, we can receive updates on the show and talk to us and give us ideas, such as questions of the episode's emissions.
00:38:11
Speaker
Speaking of which, this week our submission comes in from Spirit and he asks another question. Possibly cost expensive, but could we look forward to a PTT original song and maybe an OST at some point? Nope, not in the slightest. And with that, let us thank the music producers for this episode. Thank you to Postulate Heights from Paper Marty to Thousand Year Door, 1pm from Animal Crossing New Leaf,
00:38:35
Speaker
modus doke from pokemon sword and pokemon shield and my editor tells me i have been saying this name wrong i don't know how to pronounce it so we're going with that pokemon center theme lo-fi lullaby remix by glitch x city karnalave city from pokemon bdsp again probably saying they're wrong
00:38:54
Speaker
Now, normally we would get back to the show at this point, but I actually have a promo for us today. That's right, our very first promo. I'd like to introduce to you a show that I started listening to recently that I actually really enjoy. It is called The Stench of Adventure. You may or may not have heard of them before, but they were a really great show. Let me just play the trailer for you.
00:39:18
Speaker
This season, the fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of one woman. Who is it? You, Stella. Me? Yes. Oh, I don't think I can do that. Can you pick someone else? No, this is always the direction the series was going. I plotted this very carefully. We're already three seasons in. It's just that I'm kind of getting an anxious tummy.
00:39:42
Speaker
Stella, you have to save the galaxy. I can't save the galaxy. I can't even save a word document. You can't? No. The point is, you're going to have to save the galaxy whether you like it or not. I don't like it. At all. The penultimate season of The Stench of Adventure will premiere... Summer, 2023.
00:40:16
Speaker
Okay, onward to this address. Okay. I'm going, let me see there. Let me see if there's an appropriate role for this. We have a map of the city. We can just go there. Yeah, fair enough. You guys have a map of the city. Are you guys looking for anything along the way? Are you guys doing anything or you guys just heading straight there? Let's just head right over. Straight there.
00:40:47
Speaker
Alright, 30 minutes passed and you guys...
Arrival at Arcaron's Library
00:40:50
Speaker
Actually, no. I said 30 minutes before, but for reasons you might find out later, it is an hour and a half. Does that change anything? Uh... No? No. Okay, cool. See ya. Is it an hour and a half of walking or does that include the hotel stuff? Uh, no, that's just the walk.
00:41:14
Speaker
So you guys spend the next hour half walking, and you guys arrive at a place called Arcaron's Library. Arcaron's Library? Yes, that is spelled A-R-K-H-E-R-O-N. Okay. Library, spelled library. As if library is a letter. Well, fun fact, my sister used to call libraries blueberries when she was very little.
00:41:45
Speaker
Yeah, so you guys have arrived at Archiron's, it's Archiron's library. There we go. Here we are at the Archion's library. Yup, you guys have arrived at Archiron's library. No, it's Archiron's library. Archion. You said, okay.
00:42:14
Speaker
It's R.K. Ron. Let's do a special pronunciation. R.K. Ron. All right. I got it. R.K. Ron. So to paint the scene, you guys are on a key intersection of two minor streets. One is house done and the other is unnamed. I don't feel like naming it and I'm not going to. So around the street sign says unnamed street. Fine. This is you. You asked for that.
00:42:43
Speaker
you were begging for that one yeah this library is a corner as a corner on the corner of Houston and unnamed thank you and it's house like spelled house and yes
00:42:58
Speaker
Yes, house hyphen ton. You guys, on the corner is RK Ron's library. Next to it is a general shop. It says like Kangaskhan's shop or it's just a general store. Across from the road, across from RK Ron's library and a little bit down the road, you see an enormous alarm clock store with a mob of people outside of it.
00:43:23
Speaker
And other than that, that's just like houses and residential stuff. Good thing we don't need the alarm clock. What's going on? They must be buying the new model of the eye clock. The eye clock. I can think of everyone being in line for alarm clocks.
00:43:46
Speaker
Yes. Uh, for further context of this, an alarm clock department store, if you were to go up to it is, picks up four blocks, a four block square. It is a gigantic department store for alarm clock. And it is called the alarm clock store. Is it on unnamed street? It is on unnamed street. So you guys are now standing in front of our Charon's library.
00:44:16
Speaker
Uh, Bruce like pulls out the address sheet one more time just to like double check because like weren't we expecting like a house address? Uh, roll me perception. Well actually hold on, are you saying this to the group or are you thinking this to yourself? I'm saying this to the group. Uh, everyone would roll group perception, I will take the average.
00:44:46
Speaker
I got a 19. Hold on one second. Hold on. I'm out of my calculator. OK, 19. What did what did Sean have? 17. I forgot my modifier with my modifier. That's a 21. OK, 21. I got a four. I don't know. I don't have a modifier. OK, four. And I've got to roll for Walter. Let me pull my pot.
00:45:12
Speaker
Okay, that's like a six. What? That's perception is beauty. God, this is a spaghetti mass. Sorry, it's a seven.
00:45:30
Speaker
Okay, so overall you guys rolled a 12.25 I'm gonna say that's a I mean that is a partial success So I'm gonna say you guys notice is that the library is built onto the side of a house It looks like a typical library with glass not glass walls, but a large windows on the side and on the side seems it looks like it seems to be built into a house basically and
00:45:57
Speaker
OK, so I'm going to guess the house is where Blair lives. Yeah, that's more like it. OK, yeah. See, shouldn't we check the library first to see if she's there? It might be just kind of rude to just go in their house. You guys know it's going to. Yeah, I was going to knock on the door. OK, at this point, it's about nine thirty, so. Just FYI. All right, so you might be closer to 10 o'clock.
00:46:25
Speaker
because time for breakfast and you know 40 pounds of food now. Yeah, it was an hour and a half to get here. So it probably was like an hour at the hotel. So yes, I'm going to say it's 10 o'clock. So are you guys going to the library or the house? Let's go into the house house.
00:46:46
Speaker
Oh. All right. Knock on the door of the house. You guys knock on the door. Nobody answers. Do you have like multiple tenants? Do you have to ring? No, it's a it's a single house. OK. Are there multiple doors? I'm going to say there's a front door and a back door, but you get to the back door. You have to go through like a garden on the other side of the building. Sounds like nobody's home. Hmm. Yeah. I was expecting a plug machine.
00:47:16
Speaker
I wonder if they're outside. Did she know we were coming? Mr. Farnsworth said he was sending a letter in advance to let Blair know that you were coming. Well, I guess we'll just sit here till she comes home. You guys, are you actually just going to sit there? We could break in.
00:47:48
Speaker
Let's not add to our, uh, you know, um, rap sheet. Nikaru, you're like the last person I expected to say that, actually. I just love that. There's just, I love that. There's just a long silence making cars like, you know, we could break in. No. I don't think we'll need to add anything to our list of felonies with the group, you know?
00:48:12
Speaker
You guys have barely left the city. You guys have committed multiple crimes already. We set a house on fire and nearly kidnapped a Sharpedo. And you basically lost a hotel of 40 pounds of food. Wait, wait. Wasn't Hikaru supposed to be the lawful good of the group?
00:48:36
Speaker
Yeah! That's why Sammy said I didn't expect that from you, Hikaru. Hikaru, it's over here talking about kidnapping a Sharpedo. She's got a dark side. I didn't say we could kidnap the Sharpedo. Someone said that we're nabbing the Sharpedo. You wanted to nab the Sharpedo. Nah, I meant like get his attention.
00:49:02
Speaker
We just like it's funny. It's like Bruce talking to a table. We could like go check the library. Oh yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Okay, you guys get to the front of the library and it is open. So we go in the library.
Meeting Blair and Discussing the Letter
00:49:22
Speaker
Thank you. So you guys go into the library.
00:49:27
Speaker
It took me long enough to go into the library. I'm sorry. I don't know what I expected. You guys are static. I'm sorry. That's my bad. You guys enter the library and you hear a voice saying, oh, good morning. How can I help you guys? And you see an episode at the front desk. Oh, you must be. I shoot some finger guns at her and I say, hey, we're looking for plan. Are you here? Yeah, that's me. Can I help you with something?
00:49:57
Speaker
were you did you receive a letter recently about some people coming from gale beach as you say that's her face brightens up oh oh you got oh that's you guys oh okay um right right and she pulls out the letter and again
00:50:18
Speaker
Uh, she pulls out a letter from beside her, and it says... I don't know what does it say, I don't have some prepared for this. It says, uh, Dear Blair the Absol, I am sending four missionaries to your location to discuss the possibilities of space-time travel. Whatever that means. Anyway, have a good day, Mr. Farnsworth. Uh, before we have any further conversation, I'm going... I just love how the tone of the lore changes midstream.
00:50:49
Speaker
Yeah, the library itself is larger than you expect. There are tons of books. You guys get the old musty paper smell, very dusty. There's books of all sorts. You can see signs labeling all of the different genres. There's an entire genre for just maps itself. And it looks like basically any book you could ever want is in this place.
00:51:20
Speaker
Cool. That's the only thing you guys have to say. How are you here to talk to Blair, right? Yeah, the books really weren't the point. I know. I was just giving you guys a description. This is an audio podcast after all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a lot of books. Wow. So cool. Wow. Books. Thank you. Is that what I found? Sammy's not interested in books. Did you say that out loud? Sean said that.
00:51:47
Speaker
I think Bruce will go over to the map section. Are you sure he's not going to the newspapers to look into banks? Before you head off, I mean, unless you actually just want to disengage from the conversation, but Blair looks at you and says, oh, you guys are the, and she looks at the paper at space, time-risked people? What?
00:52:11
Speaker
Uh, anywho, uh, yes, I guess, uh, you guys are friends with Mr. Florence books, so you guys are friends with me. Uh, what can I do for you guys? You got books of all sorts here. You see, like, side eyes, uh, Sammy. Sammy's the one that said she wasn't interested in books, right? He did not. I said that. Oh, okay. Oh, never mind. Alright, she doesn't do that. And she's the kind of, uh, books of all sorts, I don't know about.
00:52:39
Speaker
time space refs but so yeah what can I help you guys for anything about cosmology the history of the universe giant hairs in the in the sky that leave my friend paralyzed you couldn't even look away from it so you actually kind of request when we say that she's like what huh
00:53:02
Speaker
Okay, clearly you guys have a story to tell. Uh, come over here. And she leads you to a corner of the library with its, like, beanbag chairs and couches. It's a reading area. And she sits down on the couch. Do you guys clearly have a story to tell? Why don't you guys start? I'm gonna say you guys don't have to retell the entire thing. You can either tell it how you want, or if you just want to exclude anything, we can go with that. Uh, I gotta tell this story again.
00:53:30
Speaker
You don't have to. No, no, no. I got it. I got it. Don't worry, Bruce. I got it. You didn't see what I saw, though, did you? Well, no. I was running around scared. I didn't see much, but I figured I could paraphrase for you. Okay. You do the talking, then. Yeah. You go sit down on the beanbag.
00:53:53
Speaker
What are you are you telling Blair to sit on the beanbag Oh, I thought you were commanding Blair to sit on the beanbag. I'm like, she's already sitting on the couch No, you sit over there
00:54:08
Speaker
uh yeah so right so what happened was we were we we had a test for our final day of school our teacher mr dr sumo he said go into this forest get to the clearing get this apple we didn't know it was an apple at the time uh so we get there let me tell you bruce and i we breezed through that dungeon it was fine it was great uh we got some good good got some good cash but at the end
00:54:34
Speaker
Hey, hey, hold up. Save questions for after. So, we get to the end of the clearing, right? Hikaru got there first, but she turned back. Then, Walter was there when we got there. Walter, that's Walter, he's over there. When we got there, we saw Walter on, he looked like he was dead. He was just on the ground.
00:54:57
Speaker
Uh, hold on, wait, wait. He looks over at Walter and as you said Walter's name, he kind of waved. What, what do you mean? Hold on, back up a second. You went to a clearing. Uh, Walter's your name. Hang on. I didn't get to the best party. I told you to save the questions for later. Fine. And Walter's like, above Walter, above Walter, there was this giant hole, a big rift, a big tear, something. It was glowing. It was scary. All right. You just had questions for later. All right. Continue. And Bruce and I, we got up to it.
00:55:28
Speaker
I couldn't comprehend it. I just kind of ran from it. Well, Bruce was standing there staring and he said he saw every possibility of everything and all this stuff that shouldn't even happen. He just kept walking towards it and got to see in all these different realities or something. I don't know. Okay, this side of it.
00:55:50
Speaker
Yeah, that's about it. And before they got there, I got to the forest clearing, and I saw my friend Walter walking towards the middle of the clearing like a zombie. And then he keeled over. And then I just ran out of it. He doesn't look like a zombie. Hey, Carol, didn't you say that Walter didn't even remember any of that? That Walter didn't remember? Yeah, you guys talked to him in the hospital, right?
00:56:20
Speaker
Uh, Mulcher did not remember walking like a zombie, no. No, but I remember what I saw, I think. Yes. Yes, Hikaru would have remembered. Yeah, yeah. Uh, is that all? Can I ask questions now? Okay, you're good. Uh, okay. Uh, so, first of all, you say, uh, what do you mean a rift? Like, something was torn, or there's...
00:56:50
Speaker
what do you mean by rift okay i might be able to explain this one best just imagine if you just saw the sky and then all of a sudden there was a jagged hole that appeared in the sky itself so like the entire sky was ripped open but um not the entire sky just like
00:57:17
Speaker
Think of like 10 by 10 or like I guess like a 10 by 4 oval shaped hole with jagged edges. 10 by 4 millimeters? We didn't even see yet. Like the tiles on the ground. Huh? Shit.
00:57:43
Speaker
Me the DM, I know what you mean by... Maybe it broke the portal while it's fine. Right, yes, the pile's on the ground. I'm not taking it you mean paces. Like, four, ten by four feet? Yeah, we'll go with that. Okay, so what you're describing is basically a portal above the ground.
00:58:09
Speaker
What's your name? She, she gestures towards, uh, uh, uh, the sin, uh, syndical Bruce T's. I am Bruce. Okay. Bruce Flameback. Okay. Oh, wait, hold on. I said Flameback Incorporated? Yes, yes, that. Oh, you must be related to, uh, uh, what's Ms. Flameback's name again? Gerald.
00:58:35
Speaker
Gerald? Wait, what? I don't know, I don't remember her name. I don't think she ever gave my mom a name, Bruce's mom a name. Well, here's your insert character name here screen. OK. Gerald's just going to have to write there. Geraldine? No, not Geraldine. We're going to go with Caroline. Caroline? I'll write that down later.
00:59:01
Speaker
Okay. Um, so you must be related to Caroline Flambach, right? Yes, that is my mother. Oh, I, I've never met her, but I've heard her from work. Anyway, we're getting off topic. Uh, so. Well, if you've heard of the Flambachs, I'm sure you've heard of the Paparonis, right? Uh, no. Well, that's fine. That's fine. Don't worry about it. No, it's fine. Okay. Uh, right.
00:59:30
Speaker
Back on topic, you guys, from what you said, Bruce, you saw infinite possibilities that can't be described? It almost sounds like you were looking into a portal.
00:59:47
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I just saw all of everything that could possibly happen happening all at once. I know it sounds like broke reality. What did you guys do anything to cause this or? Not that we know of. It was just we walked into the clearing. We saw that we were either terrified or drawn to it. I mean, I was still terrified, but I was too curious to look away.
01:00:17
Speaker
Oh yes, the flamebacks. She shuffles not bad. I'm just sitting on my beanbag wide eyed because I have no idea what the others are talking about. Oh yeah, you didn't see any of this, that's me. She stands up and goes to one of the bookshelves in the other corner of the library and she comes back and she is holding the book of books.
Exploring LGM's Guide to the Galaxy
01:00:40
Speaker
it is a very large book about as big as the dictionary and as she opens it up you can see it contains the name of every book ever created uh up to that time period of which you don't know yet um and she flips through the book and she couldn't find it she starts over looks at the index and is like wow and she
01:01:06
Speaker
goes to some page number, I don't know, 382, I don't know. And she points her finger. This might be the book you guys are looking for. It's one of the only ones I don't have in my collection. And as you guys lean in, which I'm assuming you're doing, you guys see that she is pointing to the LGM's Guide to the Galaxy by Dr. Hoot Hoot. Yes. I love this.
01:01:35
Speaker
I love where this is going. She points to these words and she says, this is one of the only books I've ever come across that I've never been able to attempt for myself. The only other known copy I've ever seen, well, the only copy I've ever seen was in the Volckerberg Art and Music Museum.
01:01:59
Speaker
and that was stolen like 10 12 years ago that was a long time ago i haven't seen that book in forever i've always wanted because it's priceless like could you imagine holding such a book and see like i guess a thousand yards stare for a second wow and you
01:02:19
Speaker
Anyway, I think your best bet would be to go to the art and music center to see. She gives a deep sigh and it's like, I've always wanted to pursue this book. I I've tried buying it from the museum themselves, but they're asking price was just too high. And ever since it was stolen, I've always wanted to track down the culprit.
01:02:50
Speaker
Ever since my family went missing and left me the library, I never had the time or funds to be able to go find a culprit. So I was hoping maybe if I brought back the book to the library, they'd let me keep it as a thank you for rescuing such a priceless book, but no one's ever managed to catch the thief. So it's gone as far as I know. I'm sorry to hear about your family, Blair. Oh, that's fine. That happened.
01:03:19
Speaker
She gets a little bit of a dark stare. She's like, yeah, it happened. It's whatever. Do you know what happened to them? Not exactly. It's not a story for today. But you guys, if you want to know more about this book, you guys should probably go talk to the library. Maybe you guys could go find the book. Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry.
01:03:49
Speaker
She pushes her glasses back onto her face, which I never mentioned she had. She is wearing reading glasses, and she has a very beautiful necklace on. To push us her glasses... It's just beautiful. It is just beautiful. It's not even objective. It is just straight up beautiful. By the way, I love your necklace. Oh, thank you! It's so beautiful. Like, Hikaru is just, like, clearly blushing.
01:04:17
Speaker
yes he can't like that anyway you guys should go talk to the museum i'm sure they'll know more about the details i always thought that book was just a myth like i think i remember my mom telling me about that book years ago i never thought it was like i didn't think it actually existed
01:04:41
Speaker
Huh, I mean, your mom, it's gotta be kinda wealthy, right? Maybe you got, yeah, you guys should go, hmm, I don't know if it's even possible to find the book anymore, I mean, the knowledge in those books, I don't know exactly what's in them, but judging by the title of the book, it sounds like it's gotta be something to do with it. I mean, nobody's been able to study the universe, I guess, that's what they're calling it. And very few people have ever managed to gather research on it, cuz.
01:05:10
Speaker
those who claim to be quote-unquote aliens are, wow, no one's ever managed to find one. Except it's Dr. Hoot Hoot. He seems to know a lot about this kind of stuff. Dr. Hoot Hoot. I just got it. Dr. Hoot Hoot. Yeah, but Dr. Hoot Hoot died a long time ago. And I'm sitting in front of a Dr. Hoot poster. I just got it. Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:38
Speaker
Dr. Hoot who had been deceased for quite a number of decades at this point, but his research still lives on. So anyway, that's about all I know about that kind of stuff. I'd love to research this more. Maybe at some point if you guys could stop in in the future, I'd love to hear more about what you guys have going on. Sounds fascinating.
01:06:00
Speaker
I, I love the idea of going to a museum of art and music, but I mean, I really love music, but I am, I'm quite unsure why a museum of art and music would have a book about the universe, the galaxy. Is that the word they used? Yeah, I believe so. I mean, very people have ever studied the, uh, the realm outside of this place we call outcast, but we, uh,
01:06:31
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of obvious, isn't it? Books, they're a form of art. I mean... Yeah, it's a book, it's probably got pretty pictures in it.
01:06:40
Speaker
He stares at you like seriously. So is the book called Elgium's Guide to the Galaxy or Elgium's Guide to the Universe? It's called Elgium's Guide to the Galaxy. But he references both, or from what I've heard, he references both the galaxy and the universe extensively. I've never managed to get my paws on it so I can't know for sure. Sounds like a very interesting book.
01:07:08
Speaker
Well, I just had a thought. I applied to college in in Volkenburg. I think it was. I don't know. Give me a name. I'm thinking like some. It's just it's the name of the college. Yeah. Are you saying this? Are you saying this to Blair?
01:07:31
Speaker
uh to blair yes um uh i mean yeah we've only got one college here it's the falcon park college of oh sorry no no i'm asking i'm asking you dakota what the name like what the name of the college would be oh oh well uh either way blair can answer because right uh
01:07:49
Speaker
I was just thinking like- Right, it's the Volkenburg College of Volkenburg. I've actually been there myself. I had to drop out to take care of the library though. You say you're a fellow- Wait, you just say it's the Volkenburg College of Volkenburg? Yes, the naming could have been better but- Volkenburg is great with names. It's almost like someone came up with it on the spot.
01:08:10
Speaker
Yeah, I was just I was actually wondering if we could if there's any faculty there who we could talk to about these rifts in the universe fabric of there's no no one at the campus actually studies the outer space as they call it as a general term. But I suggest going to the museum. They're the ones who helped the book. You could always go to the college. I'm just not sure how much people will be able to help you there. Right.
Decision to Visit the Museum
01:08:38
Speaker
Well, do you know of any scholars who are still living who study outer space? Scholars who study outer space? I don't think so. No, it's such an obscure topic. I mean, the only up and coming scholars that I know of are like
01:09:05
Speaker
She stares off in the distance again, like, send Doran, there's... Uh, yeah, I don't know. Uh, but none of them will be able to help you, so I... I very highly suggest you guys go to the museum first, and see where that leads you. Yeah, let's go to the museum. Okay. Uh, yeah, let me know if I could be of any further assistance. I'm very interested in this book. Uh, if you guys... Oh, if you guys ever managed to get your hands on it, please let me know.
01:09:36
Speaker
If you guys would be willing to make a donation at any point, I'm always accepting. We're broke high school students, high school graduates, but... I'm sure that one isn't, as he points out, Bruce. I mean, we put a lot of the money back into the business and to charities. We really got about
01:10:01
Speaker
20 different charities that we fund a lot of. Wow. And she gives you a wink. She's like, can you mention my company to your mom next time you see her?
01:10:15
Speaker
Yeah, I can see what I can do. Technically, the library is a charity, speaking above board. Technically, yes. As you walked in, I'm going to say you guys noticed a donation jar there at the front desk. Alright, but if that's all, I don't want to hold you guys too long if you just probably get over to the museum or college or whatever you guys are doing before they close.
01:10:43
Speaker
Well, thank you so much, Miss Blair. Of course. Yeah, please get back to me whenever you can. I said this a hundred times, but I am extremely interested to hear more about this book. If you guys are pursuing it, I've always wanted to find this book. I've never had the time or money to do so, because I'm always so busy running this library. Yeah, well, let you know. Yeah, it's a living. We'll keep you in our thoughts, Blair.
01:11:13
Speaker
Thank you. And, uh, Blair stands up and heads back to the front desk. And I guess, uh, we'll head over to the museum then. Alright, and with that, we will end this episode. I have been Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM. I'm Evelyn, playing a very flustered Hikaru. And I'm Eli, playing Bruce. And I've been Sean, playing a munchlax named Shammy, who's still kinda hungry.
