The Waffle House Brawl and Asriel's Arrival
00:00:31
Speaker
And 869 is unconscious, so can't argue. That's true. He's unconscious. And having said that, good morning, afternoon, and evening, everybody. This is your guys and gal at Roleplayers here to tell you that we're playing another episode of Bloodbath. How are you? Great. Oh, you can't talk to me because I'm going to listen. all right. How are you, listener?
00:00:50
Speaker
Uh-huh. This is our swap. Uh-huh. Cool. Well, thank you for sharing, and i hope that that is both good and or bad for what you were saying you wanted.
00:01:01
Speaker
um So anyway... What happened last time? We're in a Waffle House in the Shining City on the Hill. And ah Lilith was there. And the other gang was there. And they tried to kill Lilith with a sneak attack. Agent 69 did.
00:01:13
Speaker
And then a whole fight happened. and And Roy was like, bitch, that's my girl. And you guys burned down churches and shit. And he dropped this cross on top of Agent 69. Ouch.
Asriel Confronts Lorelai: Who is She?
00:01:24
Speaker
Knocked him out good.
00:01:25
Speaker
Lorelei's all like, you bossed it. And they got into a little scuffle themselves. And then like, while the fight was going on and the guys in the back, which I didn't say, but they're the waffle house employees were getting ready to scrap back there.
00:01:36
Speaker
Cause you know how they roll. Um, But before any of that could happen, Asriel, big, tall, ah ah dark-skinned man with like golden eyes and like blue and gold armor, bursts through the door of the Waffle House, and Lilith is nowhere to be seen.
00:01:54
Speaker
So you guys are now standing. Well, one of you guys is laying. Roy and Lorelai kind of like in a little bit of a standoff. Yeah.
00:02:06
Speaker
So you guys see, you see, ah Roy, you would know it's Asriel. I don't know. I guess Lorelai, you would too. You've probably seen him at least in pictures, if nothing else. You've heard of him. Yes, I've heard of him.
00:02:18
Speaker
ah you're standing before Asriel, who like has his hands on his hips and his golden eyes are flickering with like little sparkling dust coming out of them. um
Bizarre Wedding Customs and Pissing Contest
00:02:27
Speaker
And he just looks and he says, no, who and what do we have here?
00:02:36
Speaker
Oh, I'm Lorelai, darling. You don't remember me? Childhood. You need a little bit. How dare you don't remember me? We had so much fun together when we were children. You know how long ago it's been since I've been a child?
00:02:53
Speaker
As long as I have, darling, but... Yes, but I've had father this alive. Also, are you married? Are you wearing a wedding dress? I am married, I got married to this fellow down here. Why did you knock out of my husband?
00:03:12
Speaker
Because he was slandering Azrael. Could you believe that? You don't know what you're talking about. They're all glad. Are you saying this man here on the ground is slandering my good name?
00:03:31
Speaker
My husband would never do that! I may have misheard him. I'm sorry, I am just very passionate about the Angels. Right, who isn't? You know, we helped a baseball team win a championship once.
00:03:45
Speaker
Oh, no kidding. Yes. That was back when life was really boring, and we needed more things to do. i fucking forgot about that movie. ah
00:04:00
Speaker
So, anyways, um, so which one of these fellows is your wedded, uh, husband? Is it the one under the cross, or the one who looks like he lifted a heavy cross?
00:04:14
Speaker
This one on the floor here. Poor chap. Are you able to fix him? ah I can fix anything, but I need to know first, has the wedding happened, and are you officially wed? Because if so, there is a custom here that we must follow.
00:04:31
Speaker
But if not, then I can't do the thing I want to do. What's the custom? Custom is I am to be laying with the bride before the groom does post-wedding here in the Shining City on the hill.
00:04:48
Speaker
That is a very weird custom. Is it written down somewhere? it is written everywhere. Where? in our minds and in our hearts. was gonna say, when you enter the Shining City on the hill, you are bestowed upon ye the rules of the city.
00:05:07
Speaker
You need only search your mind for the truth. She puts her finger up and, like, looks up into the sky, and she's all like, No?
00:05:19
Speaker
yeah Oh, there it is. Oh, yes, sorry. um Yes, we are. We just got married. You can see I still have the dress on. that's why I was asking. Did you just... Is it official? Did you get an official marriage? Or have you not...
00:05:39
Speaker
Is it official? Is all I need to do? If it's official, then you and I have some business to take care of in a moment. This is some Udehu's eight-time script. He's still alive. Is who still alive?
00:05:52
Speaker
My husband. Look at him. He is underneath this giant cross down here. That's why I'm playing. He like he like just uses like a couple of fingers to just like move your cross over top of and away from Agent 69. And he places a hand on on your head.
00:06:06
Speaker
um Tobias, and like the lights come on almost immediately. um Your wounds are healed, like any your bruised ribs are gone, like everything is fine, you wake up, and he just says, there, he's just he's just a little sleepy, that's all. I put so much effort into not killing him, too.
00:06:27
Speaker
Well, good job, he's not dead. He brushes himself off. Alright, well. Thank you, darling. That's it for me. I'll see you later, guys. Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going? He walks out of the Waffle House. ah Excuse me. ah You're in the presence of Azrael, the Archangel. What are you doing?
00:06:47
Speaker
You're in the presence as in... You want me to piss or something? What? Like... What? Oh, you like to play were games with words. I bet I can piss farther than you.
00:06:59
Speaker
Do you want to have a pissing contest? I would go hard. ah Hang on. Hang on. And he like puts his hands up and all of a sudden like everything goes black and you guys are just standing with a giant spotlight on you.
00:07:12
Speaker
And he says, no, wait. Hang on. Hold on, Han. Hey, hey, hey, wait. Are you joking? i'm deep I'm dehydrated right now. Give me a glass of water. Give me a couple glasses water. then we'll do this.
00:07:23
Speaker
Alright, shall we engage in a montage where we drink beverages until we're ready to pee? Yeah, yeah, let's have a montage. Oh, hell yeah, let's do it. so And he looks over you, Lorelai, and goes, Darling, i will not be able to perform when I am filled with pee and vinegar. I'm going to have to wait until this is over.
00:07:42
Speaker
I will take a rain check, darling. Oh, I'm going to make it rain gold, baby. Um... so So who here wants to participate in a pissing match with the Archangel Asriel?
00:07:58
Speaker
Roy is most definitely participating.
00:08:03
Speaker
he's like He's weirded out a little bit, but he's into it. he's ah he'll He'll make it work. When in Rome, come piss with the Romans. No. So, okay.
00:08:16
Speaker
Real quick. What's my aspect now that I have? What's my consequence for, you know, getting hit for six damage? You don't have it anymore. He just healed you. Oh, come on. No, I got to have something. Come on. He healed you. just told
Card Game Dynamics and Lorelai's Victory
00:08:29
Speaker
you.
00:08:29
Speaker
You had it. Well, your consequence originally was that you had a bruised rib like okay but like roy roy roy you give me something at the end of the episode then or by the end all right well he did that was it you had a bruised rib you dropped a cross on you and you know i don't want come on i want to have a i want to have a real problem to overcome all right gm i want it to be all right how about this how about this as we look at uni says all right whoever loses gets a grievous injury or scar to prove that he lost um A grievous injury or scar comparable to a cross being dropped on you. Yes. Then you see above you like a bunch of anvils form and he goes, whoever loses gets this dropped on them. Oh no, dude.
00:09:14
Speaker
You know that gif of Willem Dafoe looking up like horrified? That's what Roy does. Yeah. the He says, all right, time to drink. Lorelei, are you with us?
00:09:26
Speaker
No, I will watch, darling, and I will judge so that no one tries to cheat. Okay, excellent. Let the pissing contest begin! all so all of a sudden, you guys are at like a shooting range.
00:09:46
Speaker
um There's like targets downwind because the wind is blowing towards the targets to help out. And you're all standing in like a range where there's like targets shaped like humans and demons.
00:09:57
Speaker
um And he says, Okay. We are going to shoot as good as we can shoot with what we've ah consumed. And if you hit all the targets first, you win.
00:10:10
Speaker
The last one to hit all their targets is the loser. And they will be severely injured because of it. Deal? Deal. And you, Hitman? He's already pissing.
00:10:24
Speaker
He's already pissing. Okay, so here's what we're here's what we're going to I'm just making this up on the fly. Okay, so there is going to be a target at two at four um and at six and at eight.
00:10:40
Speaker
Okay. Easy peasy. So um we're all going to roll shooting rolls four times to see how the first four shots go to meet those goals to get at least a two or four or six or an eight.
00:10:52
Speaker
Right. All right. And that's how we're going to figure out how many targets every person can hit. So who rolled off who rolled that first shoot?
00:11:03
Speaker
did you Did somebody just roll four shoots in a row? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Average. It's average, all right? It's average. rolled a one, a zero, a two, and a two. So that means that it took you four tries to hit the first one.
00:11:17
Speaker
Unless you want to use any of your aspects now to hit the target. out of piss. i just I'll lose. i don't care. Oh!
00:11:25
Speaker
Alright, then we're going to have roy Roy, you can take your four shots if you like. Alright, hold up. Right now, Agent 69 is at one target. I got a fantastic.
00:11:36
Speaker
Alright, so you... you get a fantastic I three and shoot. and so it took you It took you two shots to hit the first target at a six. Good job.
00:11:47
Speaker
And then you hit... Uh, you didn't hit the second target. So you hit the second target with it with the first target with a fantastic after getting a little bit of the dribbles out. But you've also hit one target. So you and Agent 69 both have one target you've hit.
00:12:02
Speaker
Now, if you wish to invoke an aspect, you could reach four since you shot ah good level three. there's an aspect you think that would help you here in pissing matches... i'm Fuck it. I'm going to say... ah ill I'll use an aspect and I'll say ah loyal only to his god. he's ah He's freaking out. He does not want to lose to Azrael right now.
00:12:23
Speaker
he does not like ah He does not like the Uday Hussein type shit that he's doing. So I'm going to invoke an aspect to, uh, I'll use a fate point to get that good to a four.
00:12:34
Speaker
Okay. So you got a five now, so you've hit two targets. Okay, great. right. Then Asriel is going to piss next. We'll see what he gets. This is a very strange start to an episode.
00:12:47
Speaker
He is the archangel. I'm going to say, but you know, since he's more of a warrior type, not a shooter, I'm going to say maybe this is where he's at. Okay. So first one, he misses.
00:12:58
Speaker
He got to fantastic as well. He hits the first target. He misses the second target. So he's also hit two. He rolled two sixes and a zero and a two. So he's currently pissing neck and neck with you, Roy. There's like some intense music playing.
00:13:15
Speaker
Yes. Now I must ask Lorelai, do you wish to cheat at all in this pissing contest? Are you just simply watching?
00:13:24
Speaker
Oh no, darling, she's got her sunglasses with her umbrella and her long cigarette and she's just watching. Okay. um Alright, so Agent 69, you get to go again. You've hit one target so far.
00:13:43
Speaker
and the where The goal is to try to hit the most, so you're one behind. If you wish, you may roll. Roy, you can also roll if you like to hit the next targets. Because this is a pissing match, apparently, folks.
00:13:55
Speaker
So, go for it. Roy, if you want to go again, i think David's eating his tacos. so ah right Sounds good. Are they good? and We'll see. He's done.
00:14:06
Speaker
We'll find out. Go ahead and roll your four again. Oh, I was muted. Hitman loses. Oh, well... He's going to lose. Yeah, he's going lose because he just like... is he is just like This is so fucking stupid. I'll just get hit in ribs again. I don't care. Roy hit a six.
00:14:23
Speaker
And then a seven. Which good for the second one. And a seven. And a three. So you could invoke another aspect if you want to hit that last one. And if Asriel can't meet that on his go, then you win.
00:14:34
Speaker
Fuck it. We're doing... What aspect are you going invoke get yourself eight? ah This time it's going to be single-minded to a fault. He's just now... Love that. He's so single-minded he wants to win this stupid...
00:14:47
Speaker
That's great. Okay. All right. I'm going to roll Asriel then and then see if he can meet what you need because you now are winning if he cannot do it. um So that was a one. He did not do it.
00:15:03
Speaker
Let's go. new it four, he did not do it, although I'm going to invoke just his godly form aspect in which he can like summon like holy powers. just He just abuses holy powers to meet his own ends. so So I'm going to say he gets a six, so he's one away from you.
00:15:22
Speaker
And he rolled a four again, which is not enough, so you beat him to the punch. So he's pissing right up neck and neck with you, but you beat him. Let's fucking girl So you beat him in a pissing contest, and now you're all back in the Waffle House again.
00:15:35
Speaker
And he says, well done. Good. Wow. Where do you keep all of that urine? My goodness. And then he just like out of nowhere, he like appears beside Agent 69 and just like uppercuts him in the ribs that he just healed and gives him bruised ribs.
00:15:49
Speaker
There you go. how What is that? How does that affect Agent 69? Is it mild or moderate or severe? It's a mild. He just puts the damage back that you had before. So yeah he gives you a mild consequence of a bruised ribs.
00:16:04
Speaker
Actually, they were damage cracked ribs. Ooh. I have a broken rib. You have a cracked rib. It's broken ish. OK, so it's a broken rib. All right.
00:16:16
Speaker
Yeah. so you have a broken rib and it's going to be a moderate consequence instead of a mild. OK. Because he got punched by the one of the right hand. What does that do? What does that like do in terms of the mechanics for the players at home? Because obviously I don't know.
00:16:30
Speaker
ah So the way aspects work when they are placed upon you is that they are things that people can use if they create an advantage or if they invoke a certain aspect that applies to an attack role. They can invoke aspects that you have on you. So instead of you using like, for instance, if I had the injury of a broken rib and you were rolling against me, but you needed like one more to hit me, you can instead of using your own aspect, ah any of your fate points, you could use one against me to say, oh because you have a broken rib, going really try to target that since you can't really turn as quickly because of that, you know.
00:17:05
Speaker
So with you having a broken rib, anybody who's trying to hurt you can, like, use that against you as well. There may be other penalties to rolls, but I don't really fuck with that side of things. I usually just use it as, like, ah just an injury that hopefully you roleplay and will ah will factor into, like, how you act because other people will use it against you.
00:17:21
Speaker
That's all. so So now everybody's going to know that, like, you have a broken rib. but A busted rib. And they can use that against you to hurt you further if they want.
00:17:33
Speaker
It's essentially a free plus two on any roll that someone takes if they want to hurt you further. um So having said that, though, ah Roy wins. And so he says, all right, ah you've earned it. Go ahead and hit me.
00:17:47
Speaker
Very well. And he's he's ah going to prepare himself to do absolutely no damage, but he's he's going to rear back his left hand and, you know, you the clenched fist and he's going to launch his fist forward as hard as he can and launch the ah stake driver straight Azrael's ribs.
00:18:06
Speaker
Oh, you're going to try to stake drive him? Yeah. Asriel's a godly being that... Sure. Go ahead and roll like a fight roll, and then just... ah You have to meet a four to even like make him flinch.
00:18:20
Speaker
All right. Well, fingers crossed. Seven. Damn, dude. That's his best thing. So you get a boost against him, too. So you... Oh, no. If you hit three over so he has to absorb some damage and yeah succeeding with style i believe you also get a boost against him but including the damage so next time you roll against him on something like i'm just gonna say he's a bit shaken by the fact that he can feel the damage that you just gave him it's not enough to really hurt him that much but like you see he just like he his like eye twitches a bit when you hit him he goes oh that's
00:18:58
Speaker
Oh, so yeah I'm going to say for your boost that you get against him is like you've shaken his confidence like a little bit that you can use against him for a free plus two later. Right. um So yeah, you've shaken him a little bit. He goes, oh.
00:19:10
Speaker
ah Yeah. Fascinating. Smells sulfur in the air as the ah gunpowder explosion or black powder explosion sort of drifts up. in That almost felt demonic. what ah but it What did you...
00:19:25
Speaker
But you're a holy man, right? what Why did that hurt me? oh I mean, I'm not hurt. I mean, it tickled, you know, a feather on my ribs.
00:19:36
Speaker
Is there like a hole in Azrael's clothes now? ah No, his clothes are still pristine as fuck. He's wearing armor and like a robot. good shit Yeah, like it just, it doesn't even scratch him. He just like, he felt like you've moved him.
00:19:51
Speaker
Like where he was expecting to just be a statue. Right. So he says, right. Well, whatever. Agent 69, was it? I don't ever know what to call you. You seem to go by any aliases.
00:20:05
Speaker
Huh? He's unconscious again. You fell unconscious again? Yeah, he got smacked in the ribs. I don't know. Dude. all right, he picked you back up. took the same amount of damage, right? He took four tracks, right? you chose to be knocked out. You actually don't have to be knocked out unless like you take a bunch of damage and like you can't fill up the damage meter anymore.
00:20:22
Speaker
You can choose to be knocked out again if you want to. I just think that he would be knocked out. I don't know. Okay, he picks you back up and like brings you back to consciousness again. He goes, Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that you were going to take that better. ah Apologies. do you want me to heal that for you?
00:20:37
Speaker
No. Ah, I see. Oh, look at the time. I left my ah ah left my oven on at home. I got to get... I rolled deceive. Oh, are you rolling to deceive me? Okay. Okay.
00:20:52
Speaker
Okay, I am going to roll for him to see if he can pick up on what you're doing. um
Agent 69's Deception and Lorelai's Escape Plan
00:20:58
Speaker
But he's ah also a very pompous angel, so going give him a three. That's cool.
00:21:04
Speaker
You beat him by one, so he he says, oh, well, of course, the ovens are very important. yeah We don't want to burn down the Shining City. you know We have rules. Yes, now please let go of my collar. Oh, sorry. Excuse me. It's just such a nice collar.
00:21:19
Speaker
And your bride-to-be, I'm going to lay with her before you do. I just want you to know the rules here in the city. That's not my bride. I don't know her. Wait, what? He looks over at you, Lorelai, says, Hang on.
00:21:33
Speaker
This man says that he is not your husband. Just kidding. I know her She's my daughter. What? What? You've married your daughter? no Wait, am so...
00:21:46
Speaker
yeah she got left You are not to my father. She got left at the altar and is delusional. So took her to Waffle House. you think a husband would take her her newlywed wife to his newlywed wife to Waffle House for a honeymoon? I don't think so.
00:22:04
Speaker
Come on, man. i I don't know. I thought you were smarter than that. Well, I'm not familiar with different human customs, so I don't know. Obviously not.
00:22:16
Speaker
So before you go and and and deal with your... Well, first, okay, so yeah like got like oven is your oven is on. Well, you said the oven was on. know the dog needs that.
00:22:28
Speaker
So I gotta get out of here. This is your daughter, but she's left at the altar, but she's your husband. No, wait, you're her husband? No, I'm not. I'm just her her father, and she's delusional. She was left at the altar. That's our story. Oh.
00:22:42
Speaker
so I don't get to do that. Oh, look, a wonderful magnifying glass in the sky. oh Rand. Oh, look over there. a lion with a dragon's tail.
00:22:58
Speaker
Right. Yes. She's clearly sick. Allow me to heal her with the powers of of the Holy Spirit. um And he comes up. She doesn't need that she doesn't need as israel said that. She's afflicted with this. Yes, but these are trials that she must overcome herself.
00:23:17
Speaker
Grief of such magnitude cannot simply be healed with holy powers. oh You are wise beyond your days, Mr. Roy, is it?
00:23:28
Speaker
Correct. Fascinating. Well, what bring before you go and let out your dog and put him in the oven or whatever it is that you're doing, um can you all tell me what brings you to the Shining City on the Hill and why there was such a ruckus going on in here that I was informed that demonic activity was happening here? Yes, well, there was ah there was a demon in here who has... ah This Roy here is, ah I don't know, he's either really whipped or ah mind controlled, I'm not sure.
00:23:59
Speaker
Either way, we got into a scuffle about it because I decided to shoot her. I see. And so why do we come to the city? as a demon She is a very much human.
00:24:11
Speaker
Right. Yeah, so why did I come here? Why did we come here? Well, yes look at the place we're standing in. Yes, of course. The wonderful scriptured Waffle House.
00:24:23
Speaker
The Waffle House on the Hill. Yes, the Waffle House on the Hill. Yes, it's very important. You know that they have, out of all the Waffle Houses, the best hash browns here. Indeed. Of course.
00:24:36
Speaker
So, I think the answer to why we came here is obvious then. And I would assume that... ah But you would have had to get pins to be allowed into the city. Yes. How would you acquire those?
00:24:47
Speaker
From Jesus. Sorry, Josh, whatever you guys call him now. Christ gave you pins to get into the city? Yes, we just prayed really hard and we got pins. What's so hard about that?
00:24:59
Speaker
He's been vacant and missing for what feels like a millennia. I don't know. Why don't you try asking him sometime? Why don't you try praying? I call all the time. Not hard enough. Perhaps he doesn't answer you for banging men's wives, Azrael.
00:25:14
Speaker
I'm certain that he is not very satisfied with your actions on that front. Wow. Yeah, Azrael, I can't believe he said that. Wow. i can Anyways, yeah, I gotta go. so Well, okay. I have words to have with this gaunt-looking man, so please enjoy your day. Have fun with your dog and you your oven.
00:25:38
Speaker
Are we still going to do it, darling?
00:25:42
Speaker
well the rules are that I can't if you're not wed already. What if I have many, many boyfriends and girlfriends? Can we just be boyfriend and girlfriend?
00:25:54
Speaker
Unfortunately, no. The rule states you must be wed before I can... What if you two get married? Ew, ew, yucky. No, oh I don't want to do that. why My apologies, Ezreal. I meant no insult.
00:26:09
Speaker
No, i know ah she's so homely, and and and if I got married, I i would not be able to be with other people. You know, i mean Put me back in my teacup, let's go home. Alright, hang on a second.
00:26:26
Speaker
um First of all, you are admonishing me for sleeping with the the pure wives of of of slovenly married men?
00:26:38
Speaker
Admonish? No. ah Just simply observing a fact.
00:26:44
Speaker
Well, that's just the rules, okay? That's how we roll in the Shining City on the Hill. How could i a lowly human, admonish as well?
00:26:54
Speaker
That would be rather stupid of me. Yes, indeed it would, especially since you still have a little bit of a stink of demonic presence on you, and I don't know why. You don't seem to have demonic blood, but why do you reek of demon?
00:27:09
Speaker
That's just the eggs here. Your guess is as good as- He was fucking good! Fuck. What's more? She's she's not a demon and I hunt demons. I probably have some blood on my clothes somewhere. Someone gets my vacuum.
00:27:24
Speaker
You see, as like you guys were talking, like as Azria looks back when he thinks Agent 69 left and he hears him talk about the eggs, you see like a deck of cards forms on the table in the Waffle House.
00:27:35
Speaker
And like as he turns back to talk to you, he Oh, cards. Oh, wait, hang on. Move over. um And like instantly just like forgets what he's talking about, like sits down at the table and starts using like this angelic magic to start like shuffling the cards like a bunch of different fun ways, like a fucking like a clown would.
00:27:53
Speaker
um Like, all right, so what are we doing here? ah Five cards, two cards, third? Let's do five cards. That's my personal favorite. Roy, let's sit down.
00:28:05
Speaker
Go fish! i thought go fish maybe ah we I thought you were going to pet your stove or something and let your stove out. Oh, yeah, you guys are, not me. And then the door closes, you hear the raptors start up, and Hitman leaves those two.
00:28:20
Speaker
you just leave? That's so funny. Yeah, I think Hitman would leave in this situation, by the way, yes. Okay, where do where do you go while these guys, so we can kind of have a picture-in-picture of where you're driving while they're playing cards?
00:28:34
Speaker
um He goes and finds a hotel. Did you grab more you leave me? Did you come with him? Because he's gone otherwise. No, I think he was just... The only one that said he was leaving was Agent 69, and so Azra just let him leave because he said he had to let out his dog and turn off the stove.
00:28:51
Speaker
He let off the stove and turn off the dog. yeah and So he's going to find a hotel because he has four cracks of damage and he needs to take a nap.
00:29:03
Speaker
We're doing a healing episode. he just slept in the backseat of the truck? Nope. He's driving off. He's an adult. He's sleeping in a car. I've had to sleep in the car and as an adult. So you're just gonna drive off. Hey, it sucks.
00:29:16
Speaker
Okay. It does suck. So you're sitting at the table with Asriel. He beckons you to sit as well, Roy. Before you know it, you guys are sitting at a table in the middle of the room.
00:29:27
Speaker
ah The lights go out again. It's dark. And there's just a spotlight on you guys as he is shuffling all these cards. And he passes out three to each of you, including himself. And he says, okay, so um who wants to go first?
00:29:43
Speaker
Well, of course, a man of your stature should be the one to go first. Well, yes, quite of course. Well, here's the game, okay? We either need to lay down. It's a bluffing game, you see.
00:29:56
Speaker
I've dealt us all three cards. Look at them closely. Remember what they are. Do not reveal them to anyone. The goal here is to either lay down the lowest or the highest card last of a rotation amongst the three of us.
00:30:10
Speaker
Three cards, three players. You want to be the one that lays down the highest or the lowest card last, understand? Hmm. And you can bluff by letting, you know, maybe laying down something big early, or maybe laying down something small early, but you might have extras. Maybe lull people into a false sense of security.
00:30:28
Speaker
However, something you should also know, that once a low card is placed down, you cannot... move that card. You cannot play something anywhere else unless it's another two. For instance, you lay down a three, it's the lowest card.
00:30:43
Speaker
Right? You must cover up that three before... ah you can or there must be a card below it before you can cover up that three. See? So you can either lay down the highest or the lowest card.
00:30:56
Speaker
And anything in between. Let's just play and I'll show you. It makes more sense as we go, right? I'm going to lay down the eight of hearts. Now Lorelai, you go.
00:31:08
Speaker
What will you lay? You're going to go high? are you going to go low? ah or in the middle? Or in the middle.
00:31:19
Speaker
Oh my god, where did my character go? Your cards are right above your little icon on the bottom of the screen. know, I can't find my person. Then refresh roll 20. I am definitely doing that. that is Like it just all of a sudden. roy why don't you go since the lady's struggling to look at her cards.
00:31:37
Speaker
Very. it's I'm sorry. She keeps trying to look at mine. got it. I got it. Oh, there we go. Okay. So yes. I raise you with a Lord. A Jack of Hearts. Okay. Very good.
00:31:51
Speaker
So yeah, so just to explain it better, because I'm kind of winging this as I go, the idea is highs and lows. So like right now we have a jack int and an eight on the field and say that like the eight would be the lowest card that we put out today, right?
00:32:04
Speaker
So you would need to The only way you could win is to go lower than that eight or you could replace that eight. If you're the last one to put down an eight and that's the lowest card we have, you can cover up that eight.
00:32:18
Speaker
Right. So so that way it's your eight now. Right. But it has to be a different suit, obviously. But so that's how it would work is like if if eight is the lowest that we can go or the the jack is the highest that we go with the cards we have.
00:32:30
Speaker
The only way you can win is if you had the same thing and you cover it up now claiming that as your own instead of having a tie, right? I see. So I wouldn't be able to like, say I had a four. ah Would I be able to lay that down and be at at an advantage because ah it's the lowest? Yes, you could.
00:32:46
Speaker
But now if somebody else puts down, if if the lowest card ends up being a four and they they use a four, then they win, even though you were the one that put it down first. I see. the rule is whoever can lay it down last. so But there can only ever be one version of each card on the field at any given time.
00:33:00
Speaker
So you would have to cover it up. I see. And claim it as your own card. Oh, okay. So say I were to place this eight down right here.
00:33:13
Speaker
I could do that. Then would have claimed now the eight is yours and as you stole it from Asriel. He no longer has an eight. Ah.
Lilith's Gold Heist and Waffle House Chaos
00:33:20
Speaker
So as you lay it down, Asriel goes, oh, okay. Hmm.
00:33:24
Speaker
Very aggressive play, Mr. Roy. um And so he looks like kind of despondent. He goes, hmm. Well, it's not exactly a high card, but... All right, then I'm going to lay down ah Ten of Hearts.
00:33:47
Speaker
He looks like kind of distraught. and He's like, something will happen. We'll figure it out. just
00:33:55
Speaker
um And then he motions to you, Lorelai. He says, all right, lady next.
00:34:05
Speaker
remember, it's whoever goes it's whoever goes the last one to lay down the highest or the lowest card.
00:34:17
Speaker
So you laid a jack of hearts on the field, but if you happen to have another jack or something higher, you would want to save that for the end if you can, because it's whoever lays down the last.
00:34:28
Speaker
Whoever did it last. laid down that seven, but I can't bring it back over. Okay. So Lorelai has laid down a seven of hearts. So now she currently claims the lowest card on the field and she's the last one to go.
00:34:44
Speaker
I see. Roy, now you're up. it It sounds more so it's it sounds more ah complicated than it is. But I promise, listeners, it makes more sense. So on the field right now, we have a jack kind of hearts, a jack of heartts ah ten of hearts, an eight of spades, and a seven of hearts because the other eight was covered up by Roy's eight.
00:35:02
Speaker
right The highest card is a jack, but the most recent lowest card laid down was a seven. So Lorelai currently has the lead. She laid seven of hearts. I see. Well, I am going to do this real quick.
00:35:17
Speaker
Ten of diamonds laid over his ten of hearts. Because for some reason we got the same deck. Yeah. as As we're doing this, I'm coming up with a better way to play this game because now I'm thinking like, oh, it could be fun. Like if you claim the most cards on the field, if you don't have the high or the low, you could also have the most.
00:35:35
Speaker
Or like what if you were to, what if you would like claim ah your lower card or if you have like a, well, no, that, that, that would be difficult to determine um because then you could just really claim any card. Oh, my card is lower. My card is higher.
00:35:48
Speaker
Right. right. So, you know, we're figuring out. So got get people listening right before we started. I said the goal I have of this game is to create a new card game. on me like And so you're hearing it in real time. Us come up with it. And I think we're already kind of onto something fun here.
00:36:05
Speaker
So. um So, OK, so Lorelai, you just placed. No, he placed on the 10. So you see real. Let's out like a a real big grin and he places down the two of diamonds.
00:36:18
Speaker
Oh, shit. um And he he kind of like just like so the only way that anybody could win at this point is if you can if you're the last person to lay down a two that would cover up that two or a jack that would cover up that jack or something higher than a jack.
00:36:34
Speaker
You to the last person to lay down something that's either the high or the low.
00:36:41
Speaker
Right. So I believe Lorelai is next. She has one more card. Oh, fuck. You got an ace of diamonds. Damn. oh we are We are so cooked, Azrael, I'm sorry to say.
00:36:54
Speaker
my, I thought I took those aces out of there. They're all supposed to be in my sleeves. in um in In heaven's rules, aces are always low, you see, because they only have one symbol on them, so they're ones, right?
00:37:13
Speaker
like you Can I roll an empathy check to see if Azrael is full of shit right now? Sure. Yeah, you can go ahead and do that. Okay, I do not have ah empathy on this, so I'm just going to roll Yeah, I'd say if you mean at least like a three or higher, like he's kind of... Alright. I mean, you get you don't quite pick up on it, but like i mean you can pick up that like he's kind of chewing on his finger a little bit. Right.
00:37:39
Speaker
It's hard to tell if that's just how he always is, because you've never met him before. But... Well, good thing I have a seven. I don't... ah I don't have anything lower. Roy, you've claimed all of my cards except for my two, and I'm very upset by that. um And he looks at you, Lorelei, and he says, well, whether you've placed it as ah at the ace high or the ace low, it would seem that either way, you... ah You... I won, darling.
00:38:14
Speaker
no No, I was going to say you passed the test for the first round of cards. So now we can play the real game. so No, darling. No, no, no, no, no. See, you cannot bullshit a bullshitter. Congratulations. i say Yes, I know I won. He puts his hand above the table and you see just like a mountain of like, like a small pile of like, well, like 16 stacks of gold coins just like forms on the table, maybe like ah three or four inches high.
00:38:42
Speaker
And he says, fine, take your winnings. isn' Wonderful. Thank you, darling. um And he says to you, well, Mr. Roy, it would seem that you and I were dealt a similar hand. And frankly, I feel much closer to you knowing that we have.
00:39:02
Speaker
ah It would seem that the cards have dictated that we must walk a similar path, it would seem. I do not know if I like or dislike the sound of that.
00:39:13
Speaker
Your, uh, your responsibilities must be staggering. Oh no, I just bang brides mostly. fish
00:39:25
Speaker
I see. And occasionally smite things that need smote.
00:39:31
Speaker
Smotin'. You be smotin'. Huh. Right. So, well, I'm quite... It seems like I should tweak my game a little, as you overtook me many a time.
00:39:42
Speaker
But rules are rules in this round, and Lorelei, I can't help but say congratulations on your victory. And, um, I don't know how you got into this, baby. I get celebratory fuck?
00:39:55
Speaker
All right, fine. Who do you want?

Speaker
Oh, I don't know if they would be able to come here, but they would at least be able come close enough. You might be hunted down for for a good while. Yeah, you're not wrong about that. But, so I mean, I just did bang an angel, so I think I've got... Did you film it? We might have blackmail on Azrael now.
00:51:15
Speaker
Exactly, so... you Angel banging a demon, that could be ah it could be interesting. We could go to the press with this. Wonderful. She's going to reach into her dress and pull out her seashell for her marrying call.

00:52:40
Speaker
you Then you see, like, we cut to Marion and, like, he's sitting at a nice, like, Italian restaurant and, like, his eyes sulk a little bit. And then, like, you see a hand, like, touches his eye stalks and lift them back up.
00:52:52
Speaker
And the camera pans to his eyeballs as the camera is lifted back up to see a face. And it's just Asriel sitting across from him. goes, see, sister. And he says, so tell me more about these mud pies.
00:53:05
Speaker

00:54:25
Speaker
um And he busts out the door like the Kool-Aid man, what's left of it, destroying it, running off into the night. And he runs for miles and miles and miles, only to eventually bring you back to the Waffle House.
00:54:38
Speaker
And he says, we're here. ah found him. John Hitman has left and he got you left the building and went into the reactor and started driving out of this place.

00:55:16
Speaker
