Hello everyone, welcome to A Path Through Time. I am Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM. Sitting to my left is someone who still listens to AM radio, probably the only person on earth to do so. It's me, Evelyn. Sitting to my right, someone who is

Speaker
chugging a bottle of heat. It's me Eli, and sitting across from me is someone who believes a cheesecake burrito would be a good idea.
Recap and Retcon
00:01:10
Speaker
Honestly, this sounds pretty good. Hi, it's me Sean.
00:01:16
Speaker
Okay. Welcome back to the podcast where we do not do the same intros ever because I don't know how to do an intro. Today, I actually will be doing a recap this time because I've got something to retcon. Something I noticed listening back to the previous episode is when Evelyn, when Shikaru re-entered the dungeon,
00:01:41
Speaker
I remember you asked me about that, but I misunderstood what you were asking and ended up not answering that and ended up completely glossing over it. What ended up happening was Hikaru went back into the dungeon and
00:01:58
Speaker
All of a sudden, you were in the hospital room, which doesn't make any sense. So what I'm going to say happened is as you exited the dungeon, you were near the high school, and that's when you blacked out. So that's what I'm going to say happened. So to give a full recap of what happened yesterday, we started off with you guys entering the dungeon. And what did we call the dungeon? It was like Broadleaf Forest or something like that?
00:02:29
Speaker
Yeah, it was something like that. Okay, well if it wasn't, it is now. So you guys entered Broadly Forest and we ended up spending most of our time with Walter and Riolu. Walter and Hikaru, apparently I can't speak. Walter and Hikaru were in one team and Bruce and Sammy were on another team. It was a race to see who could get to the other end of the dungeon first to get the item that Mr. Dr. Sumo had placed in there.
00:02:58
Speaker
What ended up happening is most of that spotlight was on Walter and Hikaru. They had like two different battles and they ended up being able to get to the end of the dungeon first. Sammy and Bruce, on the other hand, ended up basically picking up some cash and that was about it. We breeze through it. Easy dungeon.
00:03:23
Speaker
Yeah, you guys have no trouble with that. You guys did not roll very high on the encounter table.
Hospital Room Mystery
00:03:31
Speaker
So once you got to the end of the dungeon, Hikaru and Walter encountered a basically... Well, they didn't know it at the time, but Walter saw the rift in the center of the clearing.
00:03:50
Speaker
And Hikaru, who had nothing but panic in her mind, ended up just running straight back into the dungeon to get away from whatever was happening there.
00:04:00
Speaker
When she left the dungeon she blacked out as I reconned and after that Sammy and Bruce, I keep wanting to say Eli, Sammy and Bruce entered the clearing and they also had like a lot of panic, a lot of fear in their minds
00:04:21
Speaker
But they were able to see the rift thing in the middle of the clearing, and they saw Mr. Dr. Sumo kneeling over the body of Walter. And Sammy ended up running into the forest away from
00:04:38
Speaker
away from the clearing, away from the rift thing, and Bruce ended up approaching the rift and blacking out after seeing what no person should be able to comprehend. Sammy went back to investigate and ended up blacking out after
00:05:05
Speaker
Yeah, you got too close to the rift and ended up blacking out due to like fear. And you guys woke up in the hospital room. You guys chatted for a bit. Mr. Dr. Sumo asked you guys to meet him at the high school again at 10,
Bruce's Family Dynamics
00:05:20
Speaker
10 a.m. the next morning. And that's basically where we left off. Did I miss anything? By hospital room, he went to school, the nurse's office. That is what I meant.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yes, it was the nurse's office. And Mr. Dr. Sumo carried Sammy home because he was too delirious to do anything. Yeah, and he was the only one who could carry Sammy. Yep. So yeah, that's the recap. And if we have nothing else, we can fly on in.
00:05:59
Speaker
We are now I know I actually said it this time last time I didn't end up saying it So we're actually gonna do it this time. Let us fly on in and wish so We're going to say who should we start with first because we're going to do individuals since you guys all split up we're going to Who wants to start first? We roll for it Sure, Romeo d20. I'll go for I'll go for Walter
00:06:29
Speaker
Oh, I forgot. Yeah, I forgot Walter. Wow, poor Walter. Seven. Fifteen. Thirteen. I gotta actually pull my dice up. Give me one second. Hila, what was yours? Oh, okay. Walter got a nat one. He'll go last. So who rolled a fifteen? I did. Okay, we'll start with you.
00:06:56
Speaker
You are, it is currently 5.30 in the afternoon after the last day of school and you are in the nurse's office of the, of Gail Beach High. Mr. Dr. Sumo just left carrying, carrying Sammy and you are now heading home. Oh yeah, we did guess. Ticaro and Bruce did also have a small conversation after
00:07:24
Speaker
that Mr. Dr. Sumo left. So yeah, and then we were just heading home. So yeah, I head home. Okay, so can you describe to me exactly what the area is that Bruce lives in? What's the walk like? What's it like walking home from high school for Bruce?
00:07:47
Speaker
it's not a far walk but it's like into the nicer neighborhood in gale beach and he's uh walks home um hi that's right there's no cars in this world no that's not uh yeah it's just a nice leisurely walk home a little bit
00:08:15
Speaker
Hurried because he wants to go make sure his mom knows he's okay And yeah, we get to a nice like Decent sized house for a Pokemon So what are Bruce's parents like or yeah? Yeah, what are Bruce's parents like people in that's the residents of this house? I
00:08:43
Speaker
Yeah, so Bruce's mom took over for the family company which works on like developing tech stuff and After his dad had an unfortunate accident and Bruce has a younger sister named Arabella and
00:09:11
Speaker
and there is a butler named Elfrid who is a Drampa and the mother is a Typhlosion and Arabella is a well technically it's an adopted younger sister who is a Galarian Ponyta oh interesting okay
00:09:38
Speaker
so um do so do these uh what what exactly are the personalities of these people like is i take it the grandpa's a butler he's probably like more posh more uh i almost want to say british but uh you get around me butler like yes um is damon like nice is she always shut up in a room etc what's she like all right she's nice she's uh
00:10:09
Speaker
relatively talkative especially compared to Bruce and she definitely is a war reward when she doesn't know what's going on and interesting yeah Arabella is
00:10:32
Speaker
She's a few years younger than Bruce, but I feel like Bruce has been training with her to keep her on his level basically.
00:10:49
Speaker
And yeah, so she's actually, she's a Galarian Ponyta, so she's a psychic type. But with Bruce's help, she's actually been able to learn Ember like a normal Ponyta would. Interesting. Can a Galarian Ponyta learn Ember? Yeah. Well, not normally, but this one does.
00:11:17
Speaker
okay interesting um yeah it's a galarian ponytail that's like slowly getting some fiery traits just from being around this uh syndical and triplosion family that'd be kind of cool uh i'd take it okay never mind okay yeah also
00:11:40
Speaker
Alfred the butler is... Actually, can you describe me what this house looks like? Is there like a gate? Is there a driveway? Well, there's no cars. There's not really any driveway. There's just like a sidewalk up to the door. And it's... I think it's like... It's a good-sized one-story house.
00:12:08
Speaker
uh yeah it's got the kitchen dining room uh three or four bedrooms living room area sorry uh i just thought the uh i just think it's kind of funny that you guys have a butler but you guys live in a one-story house
00:12:30
Speaker
Well, we've got a... we've got a Ponyta in the house. How well do you think Ponyta do stairs? Okay, I can see that. Yeah, if you let a horse run around in your house, it probably wouldn't end up very well. Exactly. That's why we've got a nice one-story house, rather than having two stories where stuff can happen on stairs. Okay, so I take it you're just going up and knocking on the door, opening the door, whatever.
00:12:59
Speaker
Yeah, I'm just going to walk on in. OK, so as you walk on in, you see Alfred the Grandpa and he's just like, oh, welcome home, Master Bruce. Crap, what did you say your mom's name was? Oh, shoot, I didn't say Bruce. OK, I was going to say, I don't. I don't think I ever came up with a name.
00:13:28
Speaker
Aside from Bruce's mom. Okay, we're going Bruce. Do you just want to go Bruce's mom? He could do like... Yeah, I know that's what I was going for, like how right Ralph called... Yeah. Whoever it was in the beginning. Yeah, Ralph's mother never had a name. The dremple just addresses her as Mrs. Bruce's mom.
00:13:56
Speaker
I don't think the Drampa would. What is Bruce's last name? What is Bruce's last name?
Sammy's Pizzeria Antics
00:14:07
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know. But the first thing that came to mind was Emberpaw for some reason. I like that. Bruce Emberpaw. I was thinking Flameback. Flameback.
00:14:22
Speaker
That seems to fit better for a Typhlosion family. I swear if you turn out to be Nickelback in this universe... I don't think so. I don't think so either. So it's Bruce and Nickelback... I mean not Bruce and Link. Yeah. It'll be Mrs. Flameback then.
00:14:50
Speaker
Okay, uh, okay, so Drempel, Alfred the Drempel, not the other around, uh, sees you walk in the door, he's like vacuuming the carpet or something, and he's like, oh, welcome home, Mr. Bruce. I already forgot the name. This is Flameback. This is Flameback, as in his study, currently doing some paperwork. How was your last day of school?
00:15:17
Speaker
Much more interesting than expected. Lots of tests I take. I'd never take my long tests myself. Yeah, and some unexpected circumstances in one of them. Well, what is life but unexpected circumstances, am I right?
00:15:39
Speaker
i would prefer some less traumatizing ones but um yeah i can't i can't say i've ever had a traumatizing test but uh sure okay um you doing all right then do you need anything i could get you a glass of water you want something i think just some dinner will be uh suffice
00:16:01
Speaker
He pushes the button on the vacuum, or wait, no, vacuums don't exist in this universe. He has a hand crank vacuum. It's a hand crank vacuum. Nice. I was gonna ask about that as like, so wait, vacuums exist? I just realized that. I mean, if, actually, if Bruce's family works for the tech companies, did they have like a prototype electric vacuum? They could. I mean, how old are vacuums?
00:16:30
Speaker
If this is like... I think they existed like at the beginning of the 1900s. I'm like, well, we are deaf. All right. Well, you guys made me do it. We're going on a tangent. Vacuums. Let me find the Wikipedia page for that. Not the Amazon page. 1907. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. There's totally vacuums around.
00:16:53
Speaker
Okay, actually that's perfect because, uh, not a scratch is like- And they got a pen for in 1908.
00:17:01
Speaker
Interesting, okay. Yeah, and this is 20 years. This acts before the events of not described to us actually. No, I didn't want a vacuum space like an absence of air. Jesus. Okay, we're gonna go with 1907. Okay, so since your parents work for a tech company, they have like a prototype. There we go. It's not gonna be an electric vacuum. What kind of tech would be in a vacuum? Like a hamster wheel powering a vacuum pump?
00:17:33
Speaker
Is there just a more Pekka on a wheel, dude? I Mean hey, they have electricity for video games They could I I guess
Evelyn's Family and School Day
00:17:44
Speaker
so. It's a double-a power Yeah, cuz gameboy advances still exists even this far back so and they run off with double-a batteries So we're gonna say this vacuum runs off of double-a batteries a better vacuum. I love it
00:17:57
Speaker
Nice. I like it. Yeah, you see Alfred stopped the vacuum. He pulls out a tray of 25 AA batteries and he dumps them in the trash since they're all used and he refills them with 25 more AA batteries and then
00:18:17
Speaker
Just one use. That's it. That's all you get out of those batteries. Well, I mean, vacuums use a lot of wattage, so... Okay, so... Alfred moves over the kitchen. He starts making some dinner. You see, he has like a... I don't know. What does Bruce typically eat in the evening? Um... Ooh.
00:18:46
Speaker
probably a nice mix of berries like okay yeah because i had to stop myself because i almost said he made a chicken which doesn't make any sense yeah i'm thinking uh so um i was about to say some sort of bug things
00:19:12
Speaker
And then I'm like, oh, wait. Alfred just goes out to the street and takes in a cricketer. Throws it in the oven. Oh, gosh. No, no, no, no, it's not. Oh. Something like a Beyond Burger.
00:19:30
Speaker
Oh no, not a Beyond Burger. I've had way too many Boco Burgers. Okay, actually, no. I'm actually gonna advocate for Boco Burgers. I actually love this thing. My mom used to be vegan, and we used to get Boco Burgers all the time. I'll still prefer a regular burger, but those things are great. Better than any of those other veggie burgers. And no, I'm not. It's like a frozen burger.
00:20:00
Speaker
Yeah, and it's not meat. Yeah, it's a vegan burger. My mom used to get them all the time. Check that out. But to clarify, I am not vegan. I only have those because my mom was vegan. But anyway, sure, Alfred pulls out some boko burgers from the freezer and puts them on the griddle. Like a little cast iron griddle over the stove.
00:20:30
Speaker
and you're basically free to do whatever you want until it's done okay i guess i'm gonna go check in on my mom let her know i'm okay because i'm probably getting home several hours later than expected oh trying to think of how should we react to that because yeah bruce doesn't have any of uh uh major friends does he so yeah
00:20:57
Speaker
Yeah. Um, okay. So you go over and knock on the study door and you can hear from inside, uh, your mom's calling like, wow, I forgot your name. Uh, Bruce, geez. Uh, man, I'm not doing good today. Uh, she calls in from, from inside. She was just like, uh, is that you, Bruce? You can come on in.
00:21:25
Speaker
Yeah, I finally made it home. Yeah, you open the door and she's like wearing just some glasses. She's holding a pen and doing some paperwork on a desk with a lamp over it. You know, typical paperwork stuff. Oh, hey, honey. How was the last day of school? They're back a little later than usual. You can make some friends or something. Do they have any extracurricular activities for you to do? Not exactly.
00:21:55
Speaker
What was it? The survival class? Was it a survival course? Yeah, a survivability. Yeah. My final first survivability ended up being a bit different than the teacher expected. Oh, did something go wrong or was it like a, like a, um, did they just switch things up in the middle of it to see how you would react? Uh, well,
00:22:23
Speaker
They were kind of surprised that so that there was it was just a normal go through a dungeon get to a spot get an item kind of a thing like they usually have but above the item all of us students saw this rift in the sky
00:22:45
Speaker
And it seems like reality was just tearing apart. And she got...
Walter's Troubles and Support
00:22:52
Speaker
Sorry, as you say, rift, she's like, huh? She like stares you straight at the fishes and is like, what you mean, a rift? Bruce, I have no time. It goes right to the rift. I know, right? Yeah, she puts down her pants. She's like, are you OK, honey? I'm still figuring that out.
00:23:12
Speaker
Okay, uh, describe me. What exactly was this rift like? And she pulls out like a paint, uh, notebook and, uh, she picks her paint back up. She's like, she's clearly ready to write everything you say down. Yeah. So when I looked into it, I just saw like endless possibilities and just like the entirety of everything happening all at once. I'm interested in this person. Okay. And she starts writing stuff down.
00:23:42
Speaker
Yeah, I couldn't even really comprehend it all. I blacked out moments after looking into the rift. As you say, you blacked out, she stops writing and she stands up, goes over to you, and she's like, oh my god, are you a fan? So she kneels down and hugs you. She's clearly worried. You can see that in her eyes. Actually, from the insight,
00:24:11
Speaker
which is what is that like cool well i rolled a nat 20 so it doesn't matter oh okay well uh insight inside is beauty okay so uh with a 22 even though you can see that even though she's worried
00:24:31
Speaker
about you like she's clearly very worried about you right now even though she's she's never been one to be able to express her feelings very well she's always been like study oriented like that kind of stuff she seems just as interested as to how your uh how your well-being is to how to what exactly happened like she seems to want to know as much as possible okay yeah i guess i'm just gonna continue to tell her everything then that happened
00:25:00
Speaker
okay you don't have to actually like say it out loud because uh yeah so yeah she's uh as you say that you after you said you blacked out she actually brings her notepad pen over to you and sits down next to you and starts writing stuff down as you explain everything and she's clearly trying to be like emotional support and what with your net 20 insight you also notice that she's not
00:25:25
Speaker
I don't want to say she's not surprised, you just notice she doesn't seem to be able to express her surprise as to what this thing is. Like, she's clearly surprised, but she just doesn't seem to be able to express it. Interesting.
00:25:45
Speaker
and um as everything's done uh alfred calls out from the kitchen uh uh mr bruce your dinner is done uh i have a sitting here on the table for you when you have reward ready okay then yeah i'm gonna just wrap up with my mom and be like yeah i'd
00:26:07
Speaker
really want to get to my dinner now real quick did you did you tell her about the meeting with mr dr. sumo the next day all right i'll do that right now it was just gonna be like uh yeah i've got another i've got to go meet with uh the teacher um tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock today
00:26:31
Speaker
Talk about it, see if he can figure out what happened. Okay, yeah, that's the one you said was with Walter when he fell over, right? Yes.
Ice Cream Mishaps and Bubble Tea
00:26:40
Speaker
Okay, yeah. You should probably go, yeah, you do that. Go get something better, make yourself better and you should probably like lay down, get some water, just make sure you're all right. And she stands back up and puts back over her desk. Yeah, all right, I'll do that.
00:27:01
Speaker
okay so uh you go out into the kitchen and you see um you see Alfred he's wearing an apron that says kiss the chef he's wearing a chef's hat and he's got a spatula he's making other burgers for himself and uh miss miss flame back as well but on the table there's you know a burger with uh what what do you put what what does Bruce have on his burgers uh definitely oh yeah definitely cheese uh
00:27:33
Speaker
It's funny putting cheese on a vegan burger, but it's what he does. So, and let's go with a tomato berry ketchup kind of a thing.
00:27:52
Speaker
That's actually kind of similar to how I have my burgers in real life. I do mayo, ketchup and cheese. There we go. Yeah, because I can't have bacon on the burger, so. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So as you're eating dinner, we're going to switch it on over to who rolled us 13 for the order. Oh, I did.
00:28:16
Speaker
Okay, so we're going to cut over to Sammy right as you left the high school. Just for clarification's sake, because I've been wondering, is your mom Jotonian or Hersuian? Jotonian. They're regular. Yeah, that's kind of how I imagined it. Okay. Yeah, that's a good clarification.
00:28:40
Speaker
So you are current, Sammy is currently sitting on the shoulder of Mr. Dr. Simo and he is leaving the high school. You told him you're over by the pizza joint. And as you guys exit, he's like, so which pizza joint are we going to? As Pepperoni's Pizza.
00:29:01
Speaker
Hey, he like, takes one of his hands like scratches and says like, where's that at? It's downtown, take a left, go left, go left. It's a lot of lefts, but you gotta go straight after one of the lefts. Uh, so you just want me to go in a circle for a while. You'll find it, I'm sure. Dude, I don't know, I just saw something happen. I'm tired, I'm delirious, I'm still hungry.
00:29:24
Speaker
Okay, so he starts heading towards the downtown. Hold on. Actually, one second. Give me a second. What is a good role for that? Just roll me a straight intelligence check or smart check, sorry. Okay. Do I have a... I don't think I have any smart.
00:29:49
Speaker
Actually, no actually no hold on don't roll me smart. I'm gonna roll. Mr. Dr. Sumo shouldn't roll this. I don't say that makes more sense. Yeah. Yeah
00:30:01
Speaker
Okay, he rolled a 13, which is a mixed success, so I'm gonna say that you guys successfully make it to the pizza joint after making only one wrong turn. You guys ended up at a... He took a right. Okay, I almost said subway. I gotta get my... Actually, what's a good Pokemon version of subway?
00:30:25
Speaker
like are you looking for an alternative to subway or like that's yeah that's the wrong kind of thing because I think like a pokemonized version of subway because like you know the battle subway exists in universe I don't know so you could still use the word subway but okay so it's just regular subway but instead of like a green and yellow arrow it's a it's a train it's it's a train but it's not a train subway
00:30:48
Speaker
yeah it's uh it's a train but the uh it's sub tracks are listed the bottom on the bottom uh piece of bread and like the top of the train is the top piece of bread oh that's a good logo we should draw that yeah there you go so you guys and accidentally end up at a sub woo
00:31:12
Speaker
going with sub woo it's a sub it's a sub woo and uh you guys after uh accidentally ending up there you ended up at the pizza front what is the pizza joint called it's pepperoni's pizza oh yeah pepperoni's pizza uh okay so uh can you describe to me what this pizza joint is like do you live at this pizza joint or do you is it like an apartment above it on a corner street or what's going on here
00:31:40
Speaker
You know, initially I was thinking we weren't going to live at it, but I like the idea of it. So, yeah, we can live above. OK, so you've got like an apartment. Is it like an apartment or do you like own the flat above it? We own it. Yeah, it was a it was a fairly successful pizza pizzeria. OK, so what's this pizza joint like?
00:32:01
Speaker
You know, family friendly. There's bar stools. There's stools. There's a lot of stools. There's lots of places to sit and eat your pizza. Some oven over there where the pizzas are made behind the counter. And there's arcades probably. I don't know, there's games in this world. It's an old style Pizza Hut. Yeah, it's like what Pizza Hut looked like before everything happened.
00:32:26
Speaker
Yeah, before Pizza Hut turned into Pizza Butt. So. Dude, I don't like Pizza Hut. So you guys. I missed that pizza buffet. So Mr. Dr. Sumo drops you off at the front of the pizza joint and he's like, all right, I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
00:32:51
Speaker
Yeah, and he just he uh gives you a salute and walks off and he just leaves Yep, he is like Yeah, you can see he's clearly like thinking he doesn't want to talk too much because he's thinking about everything He's got a lot on his mind and it was probably about a lot here. Yeah, so How do you think I walk here and to to and from here every day? I'm a big boy
00:33:19
Speaker
That is true. And you don't have a very high speed stat, so you probably leave like one hour and a half before school starts. I think my parents are just used to me coming home late. Yeah, so what is Bruce's parents like? Or residents of this place? I should say. We know Bruce's parents. We just went over Bruce's parents.
00:33:43
Speaker
One second if you like just a quick retcon I've realized we never encountered Bruce's sister. I'm just gonna say she was in her room Just to clarify we never actually encountered her. Oh Yeah, and instead of instead of three Boca burgers there were four there were four So definitely not sponsored by Boca burger You
00:34:08
Speaker
Yes, we are not sponsored by the hookover guys that's so Bruce what's your family like? Sammy Is the name you're looking for? Sorry, did I say Bruce you kept saying Bruce? I kept trying to deflect it back to Bruce because you're talking to him. Oh No, that's my bad. I'm being myself. Oh, so it's like a fuzzled. Yeah So yeah, what is Sammy's parents like Sammy's got you know, a mom and a dad there. I think they're both snorlaxes at this point
00:34:39
Speaker
You know, because, you know, when you make enough pizzas, and you know, Snorlax evolves through happiness, they probably got real happy, real fast. They're like, yeah, this is some good pizza. Yeah, they made their own pizza once when they were younger, and they're like, oh my god, we have to do this for our entire lives.
00:35:04
Speaker
Uh, do they have names? Or do they just... I never came up with names, I'll be honest. Do you have a last name for Sammy? I do have a last name for Sammy. His last name is Pepperoni. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Okay. So it's Mr. and Mrs. Pepperoni.
00:35:20
Speaker
So yeah, uh, I believe Sam is an only child. Um, and it's just him and his pizza, his parents, his parents that live upstairs from there in their pizzeria pizza. I mean, that's, that's true too.
00:35:41
Speaker
Yeah. Because, you know, they're Snorlaxes. They don't really hang around him too much. They don't move around a lot. So I mean, it could be just him and his pizzas just in the in the restaurant. So I'm going to say you guys have probably been walking for about an hour. I'm not going to worry about belly at this moment because I mean, you're at home. So it's like six now. Yeah, it's about six thirty. So you walk into the pizzeria and it's like there's a decent, a decent bit of people here.
00:36:11
Speaker
I'm gonna say four. There's four Pokemon sitting at the tables waiting for the pizza. Some of them are eating and you can see one of your parents. Which one do you think would be the server? I don't want, I'm just, you know what, I'm gonna say the dad. Mr. Pepperoni comes out from the back and
00:36:33
Speaker
start serving up uh pizza to one of the one of the customers sitting at the table and he goes back in and you can see him and your mom are currently baking more pizza and they do not seem to have noticed you yet they're very busy people so they're the most uh exciting lunch rush they've had all day because this is lunch apparently dinner but yes yes it's the it's the dinner rush you know it's it's it's busy
00:37:02
Speaker
unless you're like me who eats lunch at one in the morning because well, for those who don't know, I work night shift. So just be the life anyways. Yeah. Yeah. So I just kind of like mosey on in. I don't know. I feel like they're probably used to Sammy coming home late considering how well, you know, it's kind of a long walk and I'm kind of a slow guy. Yeah. Uh, what time does school normally get out? Uh, like two 30, two 33 o'clock is what I was thinking.
00:37:31
Speaker
yeah okay i'll say 230 so you usually get home at around like 330 and uh it is currently 630 so you are definitely home much later than they expected you to they're probably mad then they're like where the heck have you been we have customers oh yeah what is what are the uh what are their personalities like are they grumpy ah geez are they grumpy
00:37:58
Speaker
No, not always. They're not always grumpy. Probably in this moment, they're grumpy because they have to handle the dinner rush by themselves. Because I was gone for three hours. Yeah, I can see that. They're usually kind of, you know, they're usually pretty nice. Probably pretty, pretty gentle parents. Otherwise, otherwise.
00:38:20
Speaker
so what is sammy doing i'm actually wait before we get to that how exactly do you get to the uh house flat that is above the pizzeria because i've never actually been in one of those before i've never actually lived in one of those
00:38:39
Speaker
um yeah i believe there'd be like a staircase behind the counter probably right in the kitchen area have you ever seen like bob's burgers i kind of kind of imagine it like that
00:38:50
Speaker
Yeah, I've seen Bob's Burgers. But I'm just trying to remember how they got upstairs. Oh, there's a separate stairwell outside. Like, the building is connected. Oh, is that how it is? Yeah. OK, yeah, OK. We're going to go with my original idea, since I'm already inside the build, since I'm already inside the restaurant. OK, so. It's like a stairwell by the back.
00:39:10
Speaker
OK, so there's a stairway like behind the kitchen or something. Yeah. OK, so Sammy, not Sammy, sorry, Sammy's parents have not noticed you. What are you doing? Sammy's pretty hungry. Hold on, are you going to be one of the customers, is what you're saying? Yes, I'm going to sit down. OK, so you sit down and
00:39:39
Speaker
actually hold on I haven't been to a Pizza Hut in like almost two years now do you go up to a counter to or is this one of those thing where you sit down or I mean you way at the front I'm just gonna I'm gonna sit down and wait to be waited on okay sir so you sit down and after a couple actually
00:40:07
Speaker
okay that's a mixed success so you sit down for like a good like 10 minutes once uh everyone else has been served one of your uh during like some surveying the parents noticed you sitting at the table and they like give you a glare like seriously dude and eventually they come out and like well how can i take your order yes i like you know clearly condescending way
00:40:35
Speaker
I guess Papa, I'd like one cheese pizza, please. Mm hmm. Anything else with that? Yeah, maybe some cookies. It's the bag of cookies. No, no, no cookies. You need to watch your diet, sir. Yeah. Anything to drink? Just a big old glass of berry juice. Cool. And he gives you the notepad. He says go make it yourself. I
00:41:02
Speaker
I kind of expected that. I didn't think you'd actually go get it. Dude, you're three hours late. Hold on. I got to clarify. This is your mom speaking. Yes, I know she has a deep voice, but she's a Snorlax. When she's a Snorlax, it's fine.
00:41:17
Speaker
yeah so she's like uh uh you're three hours late where have you been like we had to deal with this entire dinner rush by ourselves and she uh some of the people in the in in the buildings are turning their heads and she gets a little bit quieter she's like can you if you want to eat something do it while you help us please all right first off mom i'm sorry i called you papa wasn't really looking i was just kind of head down wasn't paying attention didn't want to make eye contact whatever i'm sorry i'm sorry did you did you
00:41:47
Speaker
I didn't say did you actually I didn't realize you said that otherwise I would have called him the dad that's my bad that's I'm a roll with it trying to not make eye contact because I'm in trouble okay
00:42:06
Speaker
Yeah, well, it was kind of a hectic day at school. Last day of school, kind of fun, kind of not. Had some tests, but there was a thing that happened. It was a big thing. Then I got sent to the nurse's office. It was kind of a hectic day. All right. You got sent to the nurse's office. What did you get sent there for? I blacked out. What happened? I know you're not the greatest physically. I mean, come on. You know, running like three steps makes me black out, but it wasn't this case.
00:42:36
Speaker
Fair enough see like rules her eyes and all right if you if you want some food come help us in the back You can like snack on some pepperoni or something. Yeah So I Take it you hop up and start help. Yeah, I'm gonna go help with the orders Okay, um All right, and with that we are gonna cut over to Evelyn Hello General Kenobi so
00:43:06
Speaker
Okay, so you're the last one to leave the building, if I remember right. Yeah. So, what exactly is the walk home for you like? Yeah, so it's...
00:43:27
Speaker
So it's about a 10 minute walk. I'm quite agile so I can run home if I want to but I'm feeling quite exhausted today so it'll be like 15 minutes.
00:43:45
Speaker
And my house is also on the upper floor of a store because my parents own a sporting goods shop on the beach. Oh, okay. So you have a beach house, a tall beach house-ish place? Yeah. Okay. Actually, how close is the high school to the beach?
00:44:12
Speaker
Yeah, how far is your walk? Well, 15 minutes because I'm extra tired today. Okay, so it's a 15 minute walk home. Nothing special happened. As you arrive home, can you describe me what this house is like? Yeah, sure. So, well, what kind of beach is this? What kind of climate is Gale Beach? Is it like a tropical beach, temperate beach?
00:44:41
Speaker
Uh, before we get any further real quick, I'm just going to put a disclaimer. If you guys hear any background noise, I am currently in a thunderstorm. Uh, just getting that out of the way. So, um, trying to think of the way I haven't imagined it's basically like, have you ever been to like Cape May or, um, like one of those Eastern shore islands, not islands, uh, beaches? No, I've been, I've been to a beach in New England though. In New England, we're like Maine.
00:45:12
Speaker
like Maine, New Hampshire, that kind of region. Okay, yeah. It's basically like that. It's not like Caribbean blue waters, but it's basically Atlantic looking. You know, you got your typical sand, you got, it rolls right onto the ocean. The water is usually pretty cold, but it's not as cold as it usually is since it's like June. I think I gave a date out there. At some point I'm going to get an actual date and calendar set up, but it's like, oh wait, no, what time does school end? It's like May, isn't it?
00:45:43
Speaker
yeah i think it's probably may okay we're gonna say it's like middle of may i think we talked about this before but it's like mid-may or something like that uh so it's a nice day on the beach so what's your uh what's your house like
00:46:00
Speaker
There's like, there's two stories and an attic, so three, I guess. The first story, the first floor of the house is basically the storefront. And there's, there's all manner of sporting goods like, you know, baseballs,
00:46:21
Speaker
baseball bats, helmets, surfboards, especially because it's right near the beach. So people like to people like to rent surfboards from from the store on real quick. Please tell me your please. Some of your parents have like a beach bum accent or like an Australian accent.
00:46:49
Speaker
Yeah, how about yeah, how about this her mom has an Australian accent? Oh No, I'm gonna do an Australian accent. Oh Boy, okay. Uh, so yeah, what's the uh, what's it like what your parents like any siblings? Oh
00:47:04
Speaker
Yeah. So they live on the second and third floors. Again, the third floor is an attic. Um, actually real quick to clarify, is it a store with a living space on top? Kind of like how Sammy's position is, or is it like an actual just house that's been converted into a store? Uh, it's.
00:47:25
Speaker
um it was built with the store on with the store on the first floor okay okay cool so yeah it's it's almost like that uh like sammy's place but just with uh you know it's a beach place okay gotcha yeah um yeah so um so hikaru um
00:47:47
Speaker
So Hikaru's last name is Hatsumi. Her dad's name is Goku. He's a monferno. And he... Sorry. What? I know you told me this in advance, but that was like a month ago and I completely forgot your dad was Goku. Yeah.
00:48:13
Speaker
Yeah, so so Goku Goku Hatsumi is a he's like a real estate broker in Gale Beach.
00:48:22
Speaker
Um, he's, he's into buying and selling beachfront properties. And that's how, um, that's how he found this, this house. Interesting. So, sorry. Uh, is this like a, uh, does he dress like a real estate agent, like suit and tie, or does he dress like a beach bum because he's on the beach?
00:48:48
Speaker
wait no it's a mixture of both he wears a suit and tie but he wears swimming trunks yeah he's got like he's got like a hawaiian shirt um and a tie underneath that's awesome i love that okay yeah um
00:49:06
Speaker
Hikaru's mom's name is Janice, spelled J-A-N-I-S. Oh, okay. And she's an Alolan Raichu, and she likes to play the guitar and surf, and she also runs the sporting goods store. Hey, we have a surfing Pikachu, or surfing Raichu, I guess. Yeah. Okay, so you walk into this house,
00:49:35
Speaker
Uh, sorry, is there more? Yeah. Um, yeah. Hikaru's got a younger sibling named Quinn. Um, they're a Chimchar. Oh, I actually know someone named Quinn. Okay. Sorry. I had to remind myself what a Chimchar looked like. So what's Quinn like? Does he help around the store? Is he too young for that? Um, so Quinn is, I think middle school age. Okay. Um, Quinn's pronouns are they them, by the way.
00:50:05
Speaker
okay um they're like interested in the store like they play around in the you know in like with all this with all the uh the merchandise in the store but they don't really help out much that sounds like a disaster i think they just cause more chaos than they help
00:50:26
Speaker
Yeah, I know, that's what I was imagining. You're just like people shopping around. He carves the one that like... Sorry, yeah. He carves the one that helps around on the store. She like does the accounting sometimes and draws signs. Okay. So you walk in, you walk into the store. Oh, does this store have a name? Just a suggestion, but it could be called like Surfing Pikachu.
00:50:56
Speaker
Yeah, surfing Pikachu. Or, um, Alola sporting goods. Alola doesn't mean anything in this world. This world being our world or the Pokemon world? Being the Alcast region. That guy, go, go. Is that everyone in your family? Uh, yeah. Okay, so you walk into this store, uh, Alolan... Alolan sporting goods? Or Alolan Raichu sporting goods? Is that what it's called then?
00:51:22
Speaker
Alola sporting goods. Alola sporting goods. Hold on. Alola doesn't exist in this. I don't think Alola exists in this world. The name Alola doesn't need to mean anything. I guess not. It can just be a gibberish word I guess. Yeah.
00:51:43
Speaker
okay sure it's aloha aloha alola sporting goods uh you walk in you see your mom is at the cash register your little um sibling
00:51:56
Speaker
Okay, so your little sibling is sitting on the floor playing with some of the merchandise. You see him playing with eye. He's playing with a beach ball. He's like throwing it down the aisle. He's clearly gonna be causing some chaos again. But your mom doesn't seem to have the energy to stop him. So she sees you come in, she's like, oh wait, you said your mom has an Australian accent? Yeah. What was that? Okay. So your mom sees you walk in, she's like, oh God, how do I do an Australian accent?
00:52:27
Speaker
Oh, hello. I know that's pretty short. Uh, this is gonna take a couple of days. Hmm. Good day. It just turns out she's good for the day. Uh,
00:52:54
Speaker
Sorry, I gotta do some one liners real quick to make sure I actually after this down. It's like, uh, I know I keep on defaulting to Irish. It's not like, oh, how do you do with Lottie or something like that? It's, um, good day, mate. I, I can't do an Australian accent really well. Uh,
00:53:26
Speaker
Congratulations, you broke them. I don't know how to do a good Australian accent.
00:53:33
Speaker
okay it's like british but a slightly irish i think it's how it is so i'm gonna start british and work my way up oh good day good day uh hikaru ha sorry that's uh my voice good day hikaru how has school been today uh today's the last day of school uh if everything go good i mean there should be the last day of school okay still sounds irish but we're gonna roll with it
00:53:58
Speaker
all right um and he carves like hi mom it's uh today was wild oh why don't you say like okay you know what she's irish now i can't do it i can't do it well it's gonna be like uh an irish she's just a hybrid
00:54:24
Speaker
Yeah, she suddenly grew a lot of red hair. No, I'm kidding. I'm gonna do my best, but it's gonna sound Irish. She's like, wild, you say? Would you meet by wild, like your tests were hard? How was it? I mean, you probably passed your tests and stuff. Yeah, I passed the test with flying colors, but...
00:54:52
Speaker
The last test was the survival test. Survival or is it survivability test? Survivability. Survivability test. And so Walter and I just went into the dungeon together. It was this forest dungeon that we had never been into before. And something strange happened when we got to the end of the dungeon.
00:55:20
Speaker
you know like he just started walking toward the center of the clearing and then like keeled over and i was like what the heck is happening she looks a little bit uh sorry she looks a little bit taken aback like is he okay is he is she doing all right he's walter's still in the infirmary at school
00:55:47
Speaker
uh just just to clarify out of out of uh a character he's not still in the infirmary oh he actually left before he no he left uh i think he was the first one to leave he was the first to leave yeah he was the first one to leave so yeah he headed home yeah so he passed out and he was in the infirmary for a while and then i left after him um
00:56:12
Speaker
But yeah, after that, I made a break for it and then I just made it out to the front of the dungeon and passed out myself. Okay, so you said you already passed out, but why? You don't just pass out for nothing. What? She is very confused. If this was an anime, she would have question marks over her head.
00:56:41
Speaker
Well, I have no idea what happened. Oh, that's true. Hikaru actually didn't understand any of it. That's true. So she's like, okay. I'm gonna say it's like a hot day outside, you know, middle of May. It's like mid spring, something like that. It's a warmest day. So she's like, yeah, did you drink enough water? Like, I know it's hot outside, but I mean,
00:57:10
Speaker
Would you get heatstroke or overheat or something? I mean, you seem fine now, so... I'm fine now, yeah. I think I just forgot to drink water after the battle exam. I was... I definitely felt hella thirsty in the dungeon.
00:57:29
Speaker
He should probably go check on Walter at some point. I mean make sure he's doing okay. Real quick, out of character again. It's you and Walter who are friends, correct? Yeah. Okay, and your mom... Would your mom have met him or known him? I think she would have. Okay, so... Okay, yeah, that actually means... Okay, so she's... Yeah, you should probably go check on him at some point. Like, he's probably...
00:57:55
Speaker
If he was able to walk home, he's probably fine. I was just worried about him. He's a nice kid. She doesn't seem to know what to say because she's not the greatest with words, as I am not the greatest with words. She's like, here, just go drink some water real quick. If you're feeling up to it, can you help her run with the store? What's your sibling's name again? Quinn.
00:58:25
Speaker
Quinn. Quinn. So, Colin's causing a lot of trouble again. I think some stuff needs to be put back on the shelves. Shouldn't I go check on... Shouldn't I go check on Walter? I mean, if you're up to it, you can go check on Walter.
00:58:38
Speaker
Walter. You can go check on Walter. He lives over on the other side of the city, next to the poor side. Over next to the desk, yeah. You should probably go check on him if you're up to it. Yeah, I think the store will be fine.
00:59:02
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be fine. I mean, there's not many people here right now, but just dealing with Quinn is driving me up the war, so I'll be fine. Okay. Um... Oh! I'll take Quinn with me. We'll go on a little adventure together. Actually, yeah, that works. If you want to take them with you, you can certainly do that. That would definitely relieve me of...
00:59:31
Speaker
I'm trying not to make this parent sound like an irresponsible... Like, I'm trying not to say, like, thank god they don't take all the pressure off of me. That sounds terrible. No, she's like, I'd really appreciate it if you did. Yeah, if you want to take him with you, just make sure he's not gonna, you know, pass out. So bring some water to something, and she, like, reaches under the desk and grabs, like, a bottle of water.
01:00:00
Speaker
yeah and she hands it to you yeah we'll uh yeah we'll be on our way i guess we can um ooh uh do i have do i have a backpack with anything um you do not sorry are you saying this in character or out of character out of character uh out of character no you do not usually carry it back with you that's well that's strange because we're in school
01:00:28
Speaker
You got your held items, I don't know. I don't tell you, you do not. You currently do not work. It's the last day of school. Okay. So I'll just have like a, I guess I could just have a fresh water as my held item. Yeah, that works. I forgot that. I forgot water actually was a thing. I don't know if it exists in this spreadsheet, but we'll roll with it.
01:00:56
Speaker
okay um i'm just gonna say it's an item that heals you for one d10 since i think it's a little bit better than a potion okay yeah we'll just roll with that all right so i've got a fresh water um is quinn holding anything uh he's holding a beach ball
01:01:17
Speaker
Alright, they're holding a beach ball. Yeah, sorry. Equip one beach ball. Equip one beach ball. They can use it as a defense weapon. Okay, so Quinn the Timchar is... No, he didn't hear anything. You guys were saying he's too busy playing, so if you want to take him with him, you're going to have to confront him. Alright, so I'll walk up to Quinn. Okay, so you walk up to Quinn and...
01:01:47
Speaker
No, I don't feel like doing an accent, so he's not getting an accent. So he sees you and he's like, oh, hi, sis. Hey, Quinnie. How's it going?
01:01:58
Speaker
Oh well, I'm having fun with this ball here. And he's like, I should probably put it back. He says, looking a little bit ashamed because he knows he's not supposed to be playing with the merchandise. Yeah, that's a good idea. And then I pick up the ball and put it in one of the storage areas behind the counter.
01:02:21
Speaker
Yeah, that's okay. All right. Dequip one beach ball. All right. And then I say, so Quinn, I've been thinking. I'm about to go on a little adventure to the other side of town. Do you want to come with me? Oh, yeah. What are we doing? We're just going to go meet one of my friends, Walter the Riolu.
01:02:49
Speaker
He as you say Walter, he looks he starts to look like a little bit disappointed like Walter but he that's not a very nice place Are you sure you want me to go there with you? Well, and this is out of character this sorry This is out of character, but as a friend of real do um This is gonna take a little bit of explanation
01:03:12
Speaker
Walter lives in what could be considered an abusive household. His mom, whenever she's away on tour, she has her quote unquote husbands stay with Walter, but he's like typical drunk white. He's not a very nice person and he can be very abusive and they live in a poorer side of town. So that's one reason Walter always wants to be out of the house.
01:03:42
Speaker
okay so uh yeah he he so quinn's like yeah i'm i mean i i think it'd be fun to go across town but i don't know if i want to go in walter's place well we can i'm sure he'll i'm sure he'll want to come out and join us yeah i guess so uh sure as long as i don't have to go in that place
01:04:06
Speaker
Alright, well, I'll go inside if I need to. Yes, just stay safe, I guess. Alright, let's go! He says with renewed energy. Alright. Alright. And then I turn around and say... I turn to my mom and say, alright mom, we'll be off. Bye! I've got to remember what accent I used for. Alright, alright, you stay safe!
01:04:32
Speaker
okay I can't tell you how much I hate that accent it's like I'm trying to do a typical Irish accent but I have to like dial it back and I turn around for me I can't do an Australian accent so that is like the worst accent I've ever attempted
01:04:52
Speaker
Okay, so I guess we're going on an adventure with everyone. You guys head over to the other side of the town. It's you end up in like the poor side. You can see a lot of the houses are broken down because people don't have the money to fix them up. There's places that don't even have porches. There's like a ladder to get up to the door. It's like basically the slums is a word to put that
01:05:23
Speaker
and you arrive at Walter's place.
01:05:26
Speaker
Oh boy, I actually have to come up with a name for this character, I think of it. Actually, yeah, we'll use that. So you get to this house, and before you even go inside, you can hear a lot of commotion going inside, and you hear what you know to be Walter's dad. He's like, oh, I swear if you get in your room, I swear if I see you with that stupid thing again, it'll be the last thing you ever see.
01:05:54
Speaker
and we're going heavy iris apparently so i was gonna say scottish scottish sorry i i i don't know what i was trying to go for but it ended up just being utter scottish now he's yeah he's just scottish just like um just like gloria yeah pokemon
01:06:12
Speaker
So as you knock on the door, the door swings wide open and you see Walter's dad open the door and he is like, oi Walter, one of your generals is down here, get down here now. And he, after some time you see Walter, you can hear Walter's door slam shut and he appears at the top of the stairway and he's like, oh hey, hey Hikaru, let's take this outside and
01:06:40
Speaker
Uh, Walter's dad lets him outside and he slams the door behind him and locks the door. You can hear that. And, like, I'm... He carves, like, still cringing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry about that. He caught him. You know he doesn't get any better. Yeah, my mom's not in town right now. Apparently she just left to go on another tour, so...
01:07:03
Speaker
I'm stuck with this guy again. And he's like walking down towards the sidewalk, clearly trying to get away from the house. He's like, hey, Quinn. Quinn's like, oh, hey, Walter. Anything better? No, not really. Things are still the same as they always are. So he starts walking down sidewalk and I think he's expecting you to follow him.
01:07:29
Speaker
Yeah, so I say, hey Walter, I just wanted to check in on you because a lot of crazy stuff happened to you today. Yeah, I'm still trying to process that. I don't know if what I even saw was real.
01:07:56
Speaker
He's shaking his head as of like clear his head and he's like, I don't know man Yeah Yeah, we're all trying to make sense of it, too We think it might be like I don't know some parallel universe I don't know about a parallel universe, but Whatever that thing is definitely not natural. Well, not like like not normal I think
01:08:24
Speaker
whatever we saw we were not supposed to see. Yeah. So I'm just like following Walter. Yeah, as you brought up that topic, he's clearly immediately troubled, because it did just happen earlier that day. So yeah, Walter's like, you didn't see it, did you?
01:08:54
Speaker
no i i bear i could barely make out anything i get uh i don't even know how to describe it like it was oh geez oh yeah there's definitely not me not actually knowing how to describe this without giving any spoilers um uh i don't know it's not something that should be it's not something that
01:09:24
Speaker
could be. I don't understand it. I don't know. I can't put words to it, it's a thing. Yeah, that's okay. I think we'll figure it out some with time. Hey, uh, Anna Predator, do you want to go get some ice cream? Yeah, sure. Um, I think they have ice cream at Sammy's place. Oh yeah, we could go over to Sammy's. Uh,
01:09:53
Speaker
Okay, that's...
01:09:55
Speaker
Sorry, I'm trying to do triangulation cause I'm actually keeping track of where you guys live in my head. Uh, okay. So that's going to be like, what, 30 minute walk or something. So you guys are walking down to Sammy's place and you guys get there and it's the, it's pizzas, pepperoni, pepperonis pizza. Is that what it was called? Pepperonis pizza. And by now, like pepperonis pizza, by now I've actually, um, I've shared the fresh water with everybody. So my fresh water is consumed.
01:10:25
Speaker
Yeah, that was, everyone was already at full health, so that's not gonna affect anything. But everyone is now nice and hydrated. Yeah, everyone is hydrated.

Hello everyone, I'm Dakota, your PM, your DM, your DM, and thank you for listening to this episode.

01:12:18
Speaker
So you walk into this pizza place and you can see one of Walter's parents, uh, basically the same thing I described before you see everything. Yeah. You see Sammy's parents serving food to some people. It's still like, uh, it's basically end of dinner rush. It's like seven PM. So there's people eating pizza and as, all right, is Sammy friends with Hikaru or Walter? Yes.
01:12:46
Speaker
Okay. So yes. So sorry. Sammy's friends with Hikaru. Sammy's friends. Yeah. And I'm trying to get all the relations cemented in my head. Do you think your parents would know who Takaru and Walter are? Hikaru, definitely Walter, maybe.
01:13:07
Speaker
Okay, so the parents notice you guys walk in and specifically noticing Hikaru. And when you're, I'm gonna say it's your dad. Mr. Pepperoni's like, Sammy, your friend, Hikaru's here. And Sammy, well, what does Sammy do? I'm not gonna take it to your character. Hikaru just like waits.
01:13:30
Speaker
Sammy definitely waves back and starts heading over towards them their direction. It's like, hey, what are you guys doing here? Yeah, we just um, I just wanted to check in on Walter and we decided to walk over here together get some ice cream. Yeah, I could definitely do some ice cream. Chicago, Quinn, Walter, what do you guys want? What kind of ice cream? How about a, hmm, I like mint chip.
01:14:00
Speaker
Mint chip, good choice. I'll just take chocolate. Chocolate. Regular chocolate, two scoops. Is that Quinn or Walter? Sorry, that was Walter. Walter has a very slight lisp, which I'm trying to pronounce, but not make it too much. Quinn has just a regular voice, basically. Yeah, Quinn pipes up and he's like, ooh, I'll take strawberry, please. Strawberry, you got it.
01:14:31
Speaker
All right. Thank you, Sammy. Yeah. And Sammy gets ice cream and does not eat it on the way back. So hold on. Let's hold on one second. Let me take a look at my performance. Yeah, Romy performance. Cool, is that BB?
01:14:57
Speaker
it is yes everything is beauty no it's not it's cute it's not it's cute oh yes wait wait hang on i think i have that is that my stat that is my stat all right all right it's in the dark wow i didn't do great okay six plus two i got a eight
01:15:18
Speaker
Alright so that's a fail. So what I'm going to say happens is as you're making this ice cream, you get in the headspace of just making pizza because that's what most people make and you accidentally throw the pizza, you throw the ice cream in the oven.
01:15:38
Speaker
uh so uh yeah uh sammy what are you gonna do about this so um i think i made a mistake i think i threw all our ice creams in the oven sorry walter's like really you're like his palms quinn just rolls his eyes so there i sorry um
01:16:08
Speaker
Yeah, sorry about that. Oh, let me tell you, I'm going to go back and I'm going to go. I'm going to go get more ice cream. It's fine. I'll do it again. OK, roll me. Roll me performance again. That's in the oven again. 7 plus. You did the exact same thing. You guys just want to have a pizza instead.
01:16:35
Speaker
OK, so now your oven is filling up with ice cream and it's burning. What does like caramelized ice cream look like? Oh, probably not. It's just. Well, at this point, it's like black. So it's probably just melted. Honestly, it's like creme brulee. It's melted and then it's.
01:17:00
Speaker
Yeah, sure, it's... I'm puree. So, uh... Yeah, you melt more ice cream in the oven. I don't know if Sami knows how to make ice cream, but it's not that way. I'll be honest, guys, I don't even know what the ice cream machine is. Oh, yeah, sorry, our ice cream machine's broken. I'm trying to use the oven instead. Oh, man. So, uh... Okay, so what does Sami do about that?
01:17:29
Speaker
I'm just gonna go into the freezer and see if we have any, like, ice cream cones in there. Okay, yeah, you guys have some, uh, a gallon of ice cream just sitting in there. Sweet. It's Neapolitan. Cool. So there's vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. Right. But there's no mint. Okay. Sorry, Hikaru. I don't have any mint chip. I just got Neapolitan, so it's vanilla, and there's chocolate, and there's strawberry, but no, no chip. That's fine. Okay, um... So now we're all having ice cream.
01:17:58
Speaker
Yeah, so because it's pre package Roman performance with advantage. I swear. That was not a throw. That was the bad one, I hope. I just.
01:18:22
Speaker
no no wait wait no no no please don't tell me what did you get i got a three and a five so that's like seven
01:18:35
Speaker
okay so is it so sammy takes the whole bucket and you toss it in the oven because no i just made it i tripped this time like i'm i'm just tripped over my fur and i just spilled the ice cream on the floor explain this we're gonna say that sammy doesn't actually know how to make ice cream so you only know how to make pizza so you've never had someone ask for ice cream before and
01:19:01
Speaker
You only know to make pizza. You put it back in the oven and now you've got a ton of melted ice cream and plastic. I wish that's not how it works. Ma, how do you make ice cream? Your parents look at you like, oh, there should be some in the freezer. I did that. I put it in the oven. It goes in the oven, right?
01:19:31
Speaker
It's like a pizza, you just stick it in the oven, it becomes hot, and it gets steaming, it goes ding, and then you serve it like a pizza, it's ice cream pizza? Yeah, I think so, that's how I make ice cream. Right! Yeah, so, I don't think I've ever actually had someone ask me to make ice cream for them before, so... Yeah, I mean, just put it in the oven and take it out after like 20 minutes, and it should be good.
01:20:00
Speaker
Cool. Do I need to roll performance to get it out of the oven? Roll me dexterity, which is cool. Okay. 16. Okay, so you managed to not burn your hands and you are now holding a black pile of sludge. Is it black sludge, like the item? It's actual black sludge, yes. Actually, no, that is what it is. It's black sludge.
01:20:29
Speaker
Well, I don't think it's really ice cream anymore. We're actually going to try and serve this throne, because apparently, canonically, you don't know the difference between actual ice cream and apparently cooked ice cream. That's rough buddy. That's rough buddy. Also, there's no black sludge in the system. Dang. OK. Never mind then.
01:20:51
Speaker
grimy food so i guess the oven goes up yeah so i get it out uh uh here we go guys i got the ice cream out of the oven what's let's just let's eat it i guess here let me get everyone a spoon i'm sorry that i don't know sammy is saying hey guys i got the ice cream out of the oven and just like complete these like unfazed
01:21:19
Speaker
Do I have to roll to see if it tastes good or not? I'm going to take a bite. Roll with disadvantage. Roll flat to 20. So I got two 10s. Do you guys not know the difference between ice cream and eating? Do I need to roll as well? Well, no, I don't know. Does he kind of know what ice cream is?
01:21:46
Speaker
I think she knows. She works at what, a surf shop? She should know. All right. Roaming intelligence check, which is smart. Okay. Did I like the ice cream? By the way, I had two 10s for that. I had disadvantage roll. Okay. I rolled a 17.
01:22:10
Speaker
Okay, you know, you grasp the concept of ice cream much better than Sammy does. She just holds up the spoon. It looks at Sammy and says, Sammy, this is not ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually basically what Walter says. He's like, uh, he has a spoonful of this black sludge and he's just like, uh, Sammy, do you know what ice cream is? I'll be honest with you. I actually, I don't think I really do know.
01:22:40
Speaker
I know pizza, I can make you a pizza if you want a pizza. I can do pizza really good. You know, cheese, dough, pizza, easy. Okay, salmon, your ice cream is served cold, pizza is served hot. I think you got that a little mixed up. I was today years old when I found this out. Just a little bit. He puts the black sludge down, he's like, okay, can I just have a pizza, please?
01:23:10
Speaker
that i can do okay uh is everyone else taking pizza too okay that i can't do so rummy performance with this uh with advantage okay cool thank you for that pizza maker yeah
01:23:32
Speaker
Why is my rolls when it comes to food? Why? Wait, did you get a full fail again? I got a 2 and a 5.
01:23:42
Speaker
Okay, so you come out and the pizza isn't just burnt. The pizza is black sludge. Let me tell you, I was traumatized today. So I don't know. The pizza is not the best it's going to be. I saw something. Actually, I don't even know what I saw. I was running around crazy while Walter was passed out and Bruce was staring at nothing. Something.
01:24:04
Speaker
all right okay sammy um let you deserve a break today let's let's just go next door and get like bubble tea or something okay okay so you guys uh are you are you all agreeing to that yes okay so you guys head over next door and there is
01:24:32
Speaker
Sure, there's a bubble tea store that doesn't allow me to do anything. See? You guys enter the store and it's just like a typical storefront. You can go up and order something. I don't know if there's actually stores that just specialize in bubbles, but we're gonna say this one does. Okay, well this one does. You can go to the desk and just ask for anything, basically.
01:24:58
Speaker
I guess I'll add one of everything. The shopkeeper's in El Creamy, how about that? Oh yeah, there you go. And her name is Sarah. Sarah, okay. So, there's El Creamy sitting at the desk, the register area, and she's like, hi, how can I help you guys?
01:25:18
Speaker
yeah um what berries do they have in the um basically any berry basically any berry but uh depending on what berry it is it'll have like it like how do you have pokemon games have like flavors like bitter sour sweet etc uh you can choose one and it'll be one of those and yes there is spicy
01:25:39
Speaker
All right. So I think, I think the Mago, Mago Berry is the equivalent of the, of mangos. Yeah. I think so. I'm going to see what it's considered. Okay. It's 25 smooth and 10 sweet. So I'm going to say it's like, uh, yeah, it's a, it's a sweet. It's sweet. Yeah. So I'll have a, um, I'll have a Mago Berry milk tea.
