Hello everyone, and welcome to A Path of Time. My name is Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM. And sitting ah to my left is someone who, um, I didn't have anything prepared for this. She has a Vulpix plushie sitting next to her.
00:00:26
Speaker
Because I do, I don't know. I gave up.
00:00:31
Speaker
It's me, Evelyn. Aw. That's an adorable Vulpix plushie. That's her name. I'm gonna name her, um... Punt it. Ruby!

Musical Key Preferences
00:00:58
Speaker
the room. um And sitting to my left is
00:01:08
Speaker
someone who is ah currently learning a song in C-flat minor. oh Yeah, but that is one of my favorite keys that doesn't exist because, you know, key signatures with double flats in the key signatures are kind of avoided, but I like them anyways. I'll take them over sharp keys.
00:01:28
Speaker
You know, trombonist, I don't like sharps. But yeah, ten flats in the key signature, that's fine. We'll make it work.
00:01:39
Speaker
There's ten flats? What? Yeah, C flat minor. C flat major has seven flats in the key signature, so C flat minor would have ten flats in the key signature.
00:01:50
Speaker
Uh, I guess the musician here knows best. i don't know, for some reason when he said, uh, double flat, I wasn't thinking of just B. I was thinking, uh, like, a half flat.
00:02:02
Speaker
Can you have a key signature in a half flat? have flats no talking about like micro tonal mean that's given the quarter tones but like yes flat minor would be generally written as b minor because it's a more accepted key signature but evelyn here said that i'm playing in c flat minor so that's gonna have a b double flat an E double flat and an A double flat in the key signature.
00:02:32
Speaker
And that's just how it is. Gotta keep things interesting. Yeah, gotta do that. I'm Eli, by the way, case you didn't know. And sitting across from me is someone who still doesn't know how to do this and is just going cause chaos instead.
00:02:52
Speaker
What? hey Jake? Oh! Jake, that didn't pick up the first time you did it. It just sounded like it was silent. I'm curious if Zencaster picked that up.
00:03:06
Speaker
My voice is shot now! Yeah, ah i can I can see that ah Zencaster picked you up, but Discord didn't. It sounded like you were silent for like 10 straight seconds. What happened?

Speaker
Alright, so last uh, we met back up at the train station.
Action-Packed Recap: Explosions and Chases
00:05:06
Speaker
We met Hikaru and Blair, er, Walter and Bruce met Hikaru and Blair at the train station.
00:05:13
Speaker
They had some loppeny with them for some reason, that We found out they recruited out of a dungeon, which is apparently not a good thing to do because they don't exactly have sentience-ish.
00:05:28
Speaker
Complicated. Listen to last episode if you want to hear the full explanation of that. It gets convoluted real fast. yeah At least that's what Mrs. Flameback wants us to believe.
00:05:39
Speaker
You think this is like some grand conspiracy? Yeah. So then we walked into town and a building blew up in front of us and a Garchomp, a Dragonair, and a Shellgon ran out.
00:05:53
Speaker
We gave chase. And they eventually recognized us and i we saw that they had a note saying that they needed to deal with us.
00:06:03
Speaker
And so Walter threw one of those sticks of dynamite at them and vaporized them. and then a bunch of money that they had stolen rained out from the sky and we grabbed some of it ah along with... We got so rich. I rolled well. i'm getting money. i rolled really well.
00:06:21
Speaker
We got money. That's what it was. We rolled for the money, and Jake rolled exceptionally well. So Walter now has over 20,000 poke.
00:06:35
Speaker
And yeah, that takes us to about here. And the last thing we saw was the shiny furret that was not supposed to be shiny, but is now shiny for Walter's thing.
00:06:50
Speaker
that he got a while ago from the Kangas head-on in Hawkeye. ah By the way, the reason that Fur is shiny is this is a now a character submitted a player character player character but and player sub I'm okay guys.
Bounty Hunter Furret Introduction
00:07:07
Speaker
It's a player submitted character. listen Listener submitted character. Listener I swear i I'm okay guys. It's a listener submitted character ah and who goes by Jacob Jacob? Fuck.
00:07:21
Speaker
His name is Jacob. Mint on the discord. He goes by Minty. ah can sees he's He's Big J on Little J. Yeah. yeah Oh, that's right. Yeah, because you're the other chick. Yeah.
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah. And, um, okay, I think that it sums about it up. Uh, so... Oh, and we had, like, a whole, like, moral... What was it?
00:07:43
Speaker
Beef. That was just because Abyssal was here. But they're no longer here, so I guess there was no beef. Since they're not here technically anymore. What do you mean they're not here technically anymore?
00:07:54
Speaker
Well, you said... Oh, not Biss, I meant Blair. meant Blair, I Yeah. and were two there That was the whole... There were two big moral dilemmas during that episode. Which one? Killing people?
00:08:06
Speaker
I know the Dandelion one. TNT and then the ah what to do Dandelion. The philosophy situation. still i know um't get I'm still getting um people all like, i that was not a good plan.
00:08:22
Speaker
And yet everyone was fine with artillery when he blew up a whole city block. Hey, Bill showed up and was ah perfectly fine with you guys but obliterating them. Yeah. Walter's got street cred as the explosionist now.
00:08:40
Speaker
i don't know, you you made friends with the police. i don't know if that will get you in a good place or a bad place with the people in the streets. guess we'll end seeing that. That's right. We do need to get Bill on board somehow with recruitment stuff.
00:08:57
Speaker
right i remember Not um forcibly taken over his mind
00:09:04
Speaker
Uh, yeah, he's going to see Miss Flameback, I believe. Right. where we left that Yes, he was on the way already. Right. Yeah, so I guess we'll hear back from that here ah shortly. Who knows?
00:09:16
Speaker
All right. We did tell Miss Flameback that he was coming, right? We gave her a heads up. Did you? don't remember. I don't remember. I'm surprised I remembered as much as I did.
00:09:29
Speaker
Uh, I'm gonna say you guys did it? I don't recall that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you guys did yet. Okay. Oh, we can do it now.
00:09:39
Speaker
i was like yeah it Sounds like Bruce has what he's doing first thing in the episode. Evelyn said she has what Hikaru is doing first thing in the episode. but I think we all know the first thing Walter's doing this episode.
00:09:53
Speaker
Yeah, obviously. Okay. So, speaking of vulture, Jake, why don't you go ahead and give us our random move? Let's absorb all in, because I randomized five times and got that.
00:10:06
Speaker
Nice. What were the other ones you got? I'm curious. TMs. Basically just TMs. Oh, you got like TM5?
00:10:16
Speaker
I got TM81, one tm da yada yada This is the first one that actually had words on it and not just TM. Okay. Alright guys, let us absorb on in. What we absorb? Okay. two ah The world of Pokemon.
00:10:35
Speaker
Hello there, my name is Professor Oak. Okay, so... You guys are sitting in a, uh, a, not in, but you guys are near a pile of rubble from that building before. and Um, Walter, is, you see the, uh, shiny furret among the crowd of onlookers who are currently gathering money.
00:10:58
Speaker
Um, Yes, I think that's all that needs to be said. Walter is gonna, like, look at the furret, grab a poster out, look at the poster, look at the furret, look at the poster, look at the furret, look at the poster, look at the furret.
00:11:09
Speaker
He's like, so you didn't notice until the third time. He's like, you son of a bitch. It matches, it matches completely, even to the flower in their on her head. Okay. ah Walter's eyes go, like, are you completely red. Are you doing this stealthily?
00:11:25
Speaker
Ah! What would? Would Bruce see you doing this? I'm down to roll it. I'm down to roll it, because this is his own personal beef. but i know now Wait, are you trying to be sneaky, or is or is you Eli just seeing this? Because you guys are relatively close together. you Unless you're trying to be stealthy.
00:11:45
Speaker
He'll see me look at the post look of the guy, but he's trying to be stealthy going to him. Okay. Okay, so yeah. Go ahead, roll inside against... Oh, yeah okay. Yeah, so while well he's looking back and forth, Bruce is just gonna, like, go over and be like, hey, don't do anything rash, don't do anything crazy, don't hurt him too badly.
00:12:06
Speaker
Good luck. Okay! He's gonna slowly... um Go over there, live pick it up pace little faster, trying to be, um, by hell, he ain't being stealthy. He is just like a bull. I see he's red.
00:12:21
Speaker
Okay, so you're you're charging this furret? Like... You gotta say that again, Discord cutout. You can't, you're, you just, Mike seems to be overly sensitive for some reason.
00:12:32
Speaker
ah He looks him and goes, you know. Okay, so the, uh, furret looks up from all the money gathering. And she just gasps and looks at you wide-faced as you're charging towards her. Are you gonna hit her or something?
00:12:49
Speaker
Like, you are under arrest for the crimes and Hawks! He holds up the wanted poster as he gets like closer to her. so she's very much afraid and not actively looking over the poster. She ah looks up and tries to run from you.
00:13:05
Speaker
He's got quick attack to get to her. ah go ahead and roll insight for me real quick first. ah inside inside inside what i got plus in that uh 17. okay uh with 17 you notice that uh you notice hold on i'm playing something uh you notice that the furret looks confused as well as afraid of you now more startled than anything uh so you're going for a quick attack Well, that's only she started running away.
00:13:37
Speaker
that was just a catch up to them. She is, okay, she is attempting to run away. ah He's gonna try to like, like she's trying to run in the alley, still running on the street. She's just running down the street. She's not going anywhere in particular, it seems.
00:13:50
Speaker
Just away from you. um He's gonna follow her until they she runs somewhere secluded. She's just running down the street, and you're starting to gather eyes as a Vriolu is chasing down an innocent looking furred.
00:14:05
Speaker
Uh, as you're running past people. Get over here! So, she's just gonna continue running down the road. And eventually, one of the people from the crowd's like, Hey!
00:14:16
Speaker
What are you doing? And they're gonna start chasing you. It's a bullduck. She's wanting hawk town for crimes. i have to bring her in. What are you calling a hawk town?
00:14:28
Speaker
ah ho how what was it called again ah fuckeye Hawkeye. Hawkeye. Hawkeye. She's wanted a Hawkeye. Okay, ah you're trying to communicate this to his gold bat?
00:14:40
Speaker
Gold duck. Gold duck, yeah, sorry. Yeah, he's trying to communicate while he's running. Okay, so you slow down a little bit to communicate to this Golduck and the distance between you and the fur it gathers, but as the Golduck sees that you have an actual bouncy with you, he backs off.
00:15:00
Speaker
Then he's going to catch up again. ah Okay, okay, that's fine. You catch up again- going to roll to see if Hikaru understands what the hell is going on. I'm going to get him yelling.
00:15:11
Speaker
you so You saw Walter bounce and just yell, you! ah Make that a perception roll and turn that into perception so that way that was a perception it Okay, as I was gonna say to see if you saw the pink fur to understand.
00:15:23
Speaker
What do you get? I got a five No, he didn't say anything. You're too busy picking up money So I'm still picking up money since now that walters learned that this account says can counter with his actions that it can get people back up he is gonna use force palm Okay, I was gonna say, yeah, you're within grapple range at this point. You can try and trip them or do something.
00:15:47
Speaker
You're gonna try and force bomb them? Yeah. Okay, go ahead roll damage on that. You're close enough you don't need to roll accuracy. You're, like, right on them. Alright, here we go.
00:15:59
Speaker
One. Alright. Not the best rolls. Um... 14. Well, I'm trying to do math. 6 plus 8 is 14. six plus eight fourteen plus attack that's 36 but don't i do another die since it's super effective uh oh it is super effective no it's just doubled you said how much damage let's see it was six plus eight that was 14 22 that'd be 36 doubled that's 72 jesus yeah is going to but be thirty six
00:16:31
Speaker
ah bulls that's seventy two jesus yeah this is going to Wait, what I need to I don't know if it says you just said road damage, but I do this is in my learn slot, huh?
00:16:44
Speaker
Oh, if it no, we don't have a learn slot anymore ah right i Remember right? Um, okay, so just technically would faint this for it But I'm going to leave them at 1 HP for story reasons um the first
00:17:00
Speaker
ah I will consider her incapacitated. um So the front falls to the ground on the pavement and you guys are now stuck still and she cries out pain.
00:17:13
Speaker
Why are you doing this? What did I do? She's like covering her with her hands. all posted She's not looking at the poster. She is in the fetal position trying to protect herself from being hurt.
00:17:26
Speaker
There was a bounty set up for your arrest. Somehow they got it to where it said alive or dead, but I'll take I'm taking you alive because I'm not a monster in the back of my head. It's like you're not gonna hurt me anymore.
00:17:40
Speaker
and I'm just gonna take you to the but what was it again? way it turns in stuff. Um, down the board mission board. and I'm just going to take it. You probably take it to like the police station. If you had an actual person.
00:17:51
Speaker
Yeah, the badge takes you back to flame back residence. Oh, right. That's right. I take the police station and collect them out bounty. Then you can answer for whatever crimes you did there.
00:18:03
Speaker
So she, like, peeks her head out from her arms and trying to get a look at this bounty you supposedly have. God, am gonna be racist and it's not the same for it? Uh, uh, so she starts to dust herself off and stands up. She's shaking.
00:18:20
Speaker
She's clearly very hurt. Um... I think this is a thing for it. keep I... Um... What... What bounty? She holds up the bounty right here.
00:18:34
Speaker
She attempts to take it from you. I'm just like, no, no, no, only look, only look. Who was a... What? Why would there be a bounty on me? I'm trying to... I don't know. All I know is that some Kangaskhan put it here.
00:18:46
Speaker
He started the bounty. Kangaskhan? This isn't from Hawkeye, is it? I yelled that! He put 7200 berries on this like for you. Okay, not berries.
00:18:59
Speaker
Berries. No, no, no. Just the zoom into the contract. It says berries as a way to scan you. Oh, my God. Okay.
00:19:10
Speaker
So, I just got done playing One Piece like a a few weeks ago. So she's still attempting to take it out of her hand. She's like trying to reach out and like scrabble at it. Let me see it.
00:19:22
Speaker
All right, since he already has a photocopy of it in his GP. She snatches it out of her hand. She says, what the hell? This was my old boss from Hawkeye. Apparently he said yeah threaten you threatened him.
00:19:36
Speaker
I threatened him? I quit because he was gouging my wages. He said you were blackmailing him. at this hikaru is gonna roll perception again and see if they're like way down we all we are like a couple of blocks away they're a ways away and there's a crowd in between us i'm just gonna say like a general like people on the sidewalk gonna say a crowd but yeah so uh cookie's shaking and she returns the parchment back to you
00:20:10
Speaker
i I can come to the police station with you, but I can swear I'm not I have no idea why what's happening Listen, I'll roll something for Walter.
00:20:22
Speaker
Okay guess more check Right now, I'm roll i roll in sp act no i'm rolling in inside. yeah i was trying to say prayer insight
00:20:33
Speaker
right sixteen Yeah, with a 16, you can tell this Furra is terrified out of their mind right now, and they seem to be telling the truth. I gotta roll something else now.
00:20:44
Speaker
I'm rolling a moral check for Walter. Okay. Oh, jeez. Goddammit. Moral. Okay. Yay.
00:20:57
Speaker
Listen. I'll put in a good word for you in there. ah How about... and Just... It said I could take you dead in life, so just give me of your, um, fur.
00:21:10
Speaker
And I'll just take it to the mission people. the and I can just collect my money and you can go. crosses her arms at this point. And you can see she's very bruised up.
00:21:22
Speaker
Look. You did this to me and know I gotta pay for this. i i'm I'll do this but I want 2,000 of that so I can patch myself up at the very least.
00:21:38
Speaker
Damn it. Why does Morale have to win right now? All to decide.
00:21:47
Speaker
ARE YOU HIKARU? Do you have berries or anything that you could give her to heal her up? um Only for paralysis, burn, and poison. Ahhhh. Hikaru and Gruce have all of the HP healing berries. Okay.
00:22:02
Speaker
Do you have a... ah Can I see that parchment again? And do you have something to write with? You see this bird is getting her bearings back. She's gaining confidence again. Do I have a pencil? I'm gonna say just have like a pen or something.
00:22:16
Speaker
Alright, just holds the pen out and gives us the parcel. The parchment, yeah. She writes on the back of it. On the back of it, she writes Kangaskhan for attempted assassination. $1,500. And she hands it back to you.
00:22:31
Speaker
This is your new assignment. If you want a bounty so bad, that's what I can offer. Doesn't add $1,500, but for $7,200?
00:22:42
Speaker
Listen, yuk, yuk! Look, I'm willing to give you my fur back because that means that asshole has to pay you $7,200, which will put him out of a huge amount of money. So she, like, pulls a tuft of fur out of her side and hands it to you.
00:22:58
Speaker
If I give this to you, it'll hurt him, but I want $2,000 of that back.
00:23:03
Speaker
Do we have a deal?
00:23:06
Speaker
wow, I gotta think right now. I'm thinking in my head right now. This is so much fun.
00:23:14
Speaker
What reputation Walt going to have? He merely turns on the- He merely, after completing first contract, he turns on the first guy that gave him the contract? That's going to leave an awful reputation.
00:23:27
Speaker
but this is like that ah one side quest in Ocarina of Time where you have to like go run around and do a bunch of delivery quests to get the bigger unsword. Yeah, but this is like assassination or just beat up. and I'm fine with both because I have an advantage on all of them because ofm a fighting type.
00:23:45
Speaker
yeah i'm gonna say if you guys were pursuing i would say evelyn or hikaru and bruce at this point you guys would have wobbled your way over there you'll get two grand of this give me a fur yeah she hands you the first she already pulled out he starts walking to the collecting people here hold on one second she like bites her hand and puts blood on the fur now it now it's probably more convincing cheese she She's already down to 1 HP, does she need- That faints her. i dont know
00:24:16
Speaker
I'm thinking in my head- I have an idea why this should make more convincing if I just put the fur in between his metal his metal claw. Well, i feel like you would've pulled it out between the time you- Anyway, uh- Yeah, he just takes it- the or he's like, okay, he's like, pinching it, he's like, o She looks pissed now.
00:24:38
Speaker
Both at you and the Kangaskhan. yeah So Hikaru and Bruce, I would say, show up at this point. Yeah, I would so. Bruce is going to keep his distance because Bruce is on the phone right now. Does this count as Battle XP? After watching Walter run off, Bruce was going to watch for a little bit and then pulls out his Game Boy to call Miss Blade Mac.
00:25:06
Speaker
Okay. Do need to make a perception check? No, you can see what's happening. Okay. Okay, at this point, um, so she she runs over and goes like, what the... is this is this the furret you were chasing earlier?
00:25:21
Speaker
gal! It's the guy? The gal? What? Person! It's the person. It's a she. It's a gal! Oh, uh... We made a deal so they don't have to get turned in. I get my money, they get $2,000 back, and then I can talk to that smug Hankus Khan.
00:25:38
Speaker
Okay. Uh, Ms. Furret, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. As fine as I can be after being punched in the face! Just glaring at you. Does she have, like, in the middle forehead? Does she just have a palm print?
00:25:53
Speaker
You know what? Yes, I like that. Oh yeah. because It wasn't a punch, you just used his palm on her. my gosh. Is it a separate roll out for the Prialisist? Let me give you some... Um, I have to get natural 20. I mean, you can roll for Prialisist if you want. Wait, no, I'm pretty sure it's a 19 or below, or... It does not tell me what... 19 and 20 gets effect status.
00:26:18
Speaker
Uh, it's a 15. 15 or higher. Oh, 15! Yeah, it's under effect roll. Oh, oh right, you didn't roll for accuracy. So you didn't- Yeah, so it didn't matter. Technically you should have, but I'm going to lean the rolls a little bit just for the story. didn't really matter, I would have one-shot her. Yeah, you absolutely would have one-shot She was level 10, by the way. Yeah, what's that? What's XT like? I'm joking.
00:26:42
Speaker
and done That was just a quick fight. Yeah, well you also didn't feign her. You did the nice little hold back thing for story reasons. Yeah, you know what's It's something to be haunted, but I got Coin Watcher, so I'm getting more.
00:26:58
Speaker
Ooh, that's great. Ooh, that'll be interesting, because the she directly has to give that to you, so you'd have to... Hmm. Maybe you should... Hmm. How would that work? Does she have to give it to you or would you have to convince her to give you more? Like, look, I've got Coin Watcher.
00:27:14
Speaker
Cue success, on success, earn 1.5, mixed 1.2, and nothing, you get nothing. You just get base. If anything, I'd say it's basically just me charming them to give me more. Yeah, I would say if you wanted to persuade them, i would give you advantage too. If you succeeded, you would get Coin Watcher. If you failed, you didn't.
00:27:39
Speaker
Okay. um Miss Furet, do you need any... Do you need like any oran berries or anything? i have a few reviver seeds in here as well.
00:27:52
Speaker
Some healing it would be nice. I'm about to give her 2k to heal herself. We'll make it even 1500. Alright. all right bur At this point, Bruce is just gonna like... He's been... Oh, I don't know.
00:28:06
Speaker
Ah. He's... No. He's gonna be paying attention to his phone call. I don't know how long the phone call's gonna take. I was thinking about it. Bruce just coughed an orinberry over there, but no.
00:28:20
Speaker
Yeah. It's little too far away. For what it's worth, I've got ten. Okay. Cookie looks between you guys. He's like, hmm. I'll take the healing. It makes things simpler for me. I'll drop it down to $1,500. You take care of that Kangaskhan for me.
00:28:33
Speaker
He pays you $1,500. I'll pay you $1,500. What? Oh. What happened with the Kangaskhan? Oh, she put out a contract with him now.
00:28:45
Speaker
Yeah, but what what for? what emily he just did this just because she quit. She didn't blackmail or anything. So Kangaskhan ordered the hit because she quit? For no reason, yep.
00:28:57
Speaker
For no reason. Yep. Oh, um, Ms. Furret. Um, and what is that your name, by the way? Oh, I could rock his store since I'm bringing him in. Uh, oh, how, who was this Kangaskhan? What were where were you doing?
00:29:12
Speaker
ah She was, he was my boss. I was just working in Hawkeye at the time. Yeah, but who's, I mean, what kind of job was it? I was just stocking shelves.
00:29:23
Speaker
don't know. I dropped a, I dropped a bag of orange berries and he got mad at me. So I quit and he was gouging my wages. So i mean, I work over here and she points to the bank that blew up.
00:29:36
Speaker
down the street and now that's gone so I gotta find myself a new job again what do you do you ever want to earn a lot of money we have a great organization well I mean I'm not I'm not opposed to making money and interest we work for one of the richest families and so what exactly can I provide you well That's for them to work out. We could probably get you a job there.
00:30:03
Speaker
We've already had a friend who ran into us, i had a few problems, we gave them a job. Hmm. Give me the business card. I'll look into it. Well, their son's right over there on call. She looks around. There's a bunch of people in the around you guys. He points to the Cyndaquil.
00:30:17
Speaker
Oh. Oh. Him? Okay. Yeah, the Flamebacks. The Flamebacks? You mean the ones who've been producing all that tech recently?
00:30:33
Speaker
Hmm. Interesting. And what exactly could I provide you? Because I'm not exactly a factory worker, you see. it What's your skill set? um You said something about an organization?
00:30:44
Speaker
Well, that's what they all are, the business organization. Okay, fair enough. Oh, um, do you know how to, like, write or anything? Are you trying to recruit her into the, uh, Flambeck guild, or are you trying to get her, like, a job like Zekrom?
00:31:02
Speaker
It's depending. i want to know what everyone else thinks. But we don't really trust them. I just did a hit on them. So probably just a job. Because I will say I do have... I can use her as an NPC.
00:31:13
Speaker
But you guys don't know that yet. So you guys don't know her skill set. so Yeah. and Yeah, I did just try to kill her. out her wil set Before we tried to recruit her.
00:31:25
Speaker
but So what's your... I just asked that, by the way. I did ask what you're good at. Okay, so again above board I need to point out that you are asking her um under the assumption that she's getting a job at a tech company.
00:31:39
Speaker
She's going to give you a much different result than if you were asking her if you were going ask her to go into an organization. Let me word this better. They also do tech but they have parts everywhere else like they do sometimes have security people, they sometimes have like people go get investments for them or Security for them or a bunch of things. So tell me all of your what you're good at. Tell me everything you're good at and then we'll probably have something they can put you in.
00:32:06
Speaker
They own a lot of business. Is this being written down on paper? He's typing into his GBA just having it there. lo Well, in that case, I guess I'm good at stocking shelves.
00:32:20
Speaker
ah I was a teller at the bank back there. That's about all of my job experience. Well, have you ever um have you ever like written anything? have you um you have any like stories you want to tell?
00:32:36
Speaker
I've got a lot of stories. New story now! Riolu tried to assassinate me! Yeah, have you ever seen this Riolu? Putting out a bounty for him, trying to assassinate me.
00:32:49
Speaker
and Yeah. yeah Well, i I don't know about, um, I mean, I don't know if flame back has any has any open positions about this, but you could probably get a job as a songwriter. I know i know a great bank that's looking for um new people because the last person out there was, well, they just quit out nowhere and now they're looking for new people.
00:33:14
Speaker
That or I'm sure you could take up ah the Charmander's job because to be honest, they're a very bad telemarker down there. there are you just it Are you trying to fire the Charmander second-handedly?
00:33:30
Speaker
so that's really funny of yeah i could work at a bank like i taking it position i thug fulenberg bank you know this is part of the volenburg bank you probably get a job there oh I guess I could.
00:33:50
Speaker
I mean, I've only had like a week of experience here at this place, but maybe they'll take me on. Yeah, I could check that out. Listen, it works out. You could just say you... They just had a bank robbery for, they're gonna look for new staff right now because old staff failed.
00:34:04
Speaker
to So did they fire the old staff? It sounds like there's not any positions open. Well, yeah, there is because someone's gonna have to get promoted and there's gonna be open telemarker spot.
00:34:15
Speaker
Are you, like, a manager there? side What are you talking about? The manager goes quit out of nowhere. Someone's gonna get promoted to manager, and then there's gonna be an opening spot for a teller marketer. theres I don't think that's how that works. Someone else who's fit for that position. teller doesn't just become a manager because- Well, why don't you go to be a manager there, then? Because I'm a teller, not a manager. Listen, it'd be very complicated.
00:34:37
Speaker
I just want to check in with you. um Are you, like, how are you feeling?
Moral Dilemmas and Deals
00:34:42
Speaker
Like, does your head hurt? She- If she could, she'd be glaring at the paw print on her forehead.
00:34:48
Speaker
i don't know, that's how you concussion i just She's got a stage two concussion. Yeah. um Walter, I think... I feel like we should just... I feel like she should just come with us.
00:34:59
Speaker
we can We can worry about getting her a job later. She can't come with me because I've got to go to turn this in. and They can't see her alive. Oh, well... Well, she can come with us. You just have to turn into the mission board.
00:35:12
Speaker
Yeah, well, the mission board's gonna know that I faked it if they see them walking in with me. Okay, you're gonna try and turn it into the Kangaskhan? Because that's an entirely different city. Kangaskhan? I meant... They're gonna see the pink shirt, but see the... Oh, they're gonna see the thing in the station?
00:35:32
Speaker
Wait! yeah Yeah, your contract is ruined! ah does photocopy some hold hold on, I got a picture of the original one, so I'll just use my phone.
00:35:44
Speaker
Okay, we'll see if they accept that. That or just scribble on the thing. andcri And scribble out the other thing and just get another piece of paper. Do they even have, like, phones? like Do you have to like, print it out or something? like I don't know.
00:35:57
Speaker
What the KenCon basically did, they just ripped it to what like a random piece of paper and just scribbled something from me. Because I never got it from a board. He just gave it to me at at the store.
00:36:09
Speaker
um yeah how about how about this? ah Walter, you go to the mission you you go to the mission board and wherever the mission board is and well just you can get that sorted out. um Cookie, come with me to the...
00:36:22
Speaker
but Uh, um... I was staying in a hotel last night. Come with come with us. What? A hotel? Um... I have a home, you know. do have a home. Okay, never mind.
00:36:33
Speaker
Uh, I'll walk you home. Okay. And she starts to turn and head down the road. Uh, assumedly towards where her home is. Is it in... This is New Ventus, right?
00:36:45
Speaker
Yes, it is in New Ventus. Okay. I'm walking with her, right? Sure. Okay, are you all going down to Nuventus? I'm going to turn in the bounty. Okay, so are you going to the- Eli's still on the call with the mob. Yeah, do we want to jump over back in time a little bit to do this phone call?
00:37:06
Speaker
Okay, okay. We're going to jump back in time.
Guild Complications and Police Involvement
00:37:08
Speaker
We're goingnna start from when you arrived at the, uh, at the scene. Uh, uh, oh. Well, I- I don't know. Yeah, we'll just say that's the beginning of the call. It doesn't matter too much.
00:37:18
Speaker
Yeah. It's- Oh yeah, he's just gonna call up Nisflame back. Uh, yeah, hi. Uh, oh, Bruce, what's up? Uh, hey, just wanted to call and let you know, um, we just sent a police officer your way. We, uh, worked with him on a couple different cases, and, uh, he seems like he's a pretty good guy. we might be able to help us out a bit.
00:37:46
Speaker
Um, you're not talking about recruiting him into the guild, are you? Kinda. Okay, that's gonna get complicated. um you see... He has a job and he's gonna have to report to people. He can't just live with the guild. um Yeah.
00:38:04
Speaker
and We didn't actually tell him anything about it. He asked questions and we told him that you would have better answers than we would. So we just sent him over to you. like If you think you could get it to work for him to join up with the guilds... You know anything anything I have to tell him he has to report to his higher-ups.
00:38:30
Speaker
If he's a police officer investigating a case... And if you had him investigate the case we're doing right now, then... Oh, no. It's nothing related to what we're doing.
00:38:41
Speaker
Oh, okay. The first case was a bank robbery. We worked with him help figure out who did that. And turned out it was some weird cult group feeling and that the the leader of the cult happened to be the manager of the bank.
00:39:00
Speaker
And pulled, pulled, shebang there. a Then another bank blew up in front of us and we kind of took care of the people who did that and then he showed up and we're like, hey, we know you.
00:39:20
Speaker
You investigating this too? He's like, yeah, you got any info? And we're like, nope, the bank just blew up in front of us, so we took care of the people who did it, and was we're running off with a bag of money.
00:39:33
Speaker
So why are they heading towards us? Why are they heading here? I don't remember that. DM, could you help us out a bit? ah go ahead and roll history.
00:39:45
Speaker
No, this happened just a minute ago. It's fine, it's fine. Uh, so what ended up happening is you told them about Silver and the cult. You told them that ah silver is related to this bank as well.
00:39:59
Speaker
Or at least you think so because of the note. um Right. Yeah. So I'm trying to remember. You know what? It'll all be fine. All we got recruit the entire police district. You told Bill not about the world ending stuff, but about how silver is ah in a cult and ah doing all these bank robbers and stuff. And the cult is searching for these orbs.
00:40:23
Speaker
That's right. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, you did tell them about the orbs. We didn't tell them what the orbs did. we just yeah we told them that it was just a fancy like it was just sentimental value. An expensive ornament.
00:40:36
Speaker
Yeah, we just told they had a lot of sentimental value to them. That's it. Yeah, we just said it was for like runes. I don't know if the audience can tell it, but we recorded that like over a month ago point, I think so.
00:40:50
Speaker
It has been a while. Oh, But yes, that is, uh, if you want, you can just like relay that to miss flame back and it's fine. i just Yeah. So, uh, um, so he asked, uh, so we, we found out that.
00:41:07
Speaker
the three people that were doing this bank robbery were related to the Espeon that was the cult leader. And so he knew about the cult stuff.
00:41:22
Speaker
And so he asked us if we knew anything about the cult stuff. And so we just said that they were after these orbs that we didn't know much about and just had like, were like very valuable, sentimental value, and, uh, like, money.
00:41:41
Speaker
Good money. Hmm. Okay, so nothing God-related, though. This could be a bit interesting, because it sounds like you've sent these guys on a path they have to pursue now for legal reasons.
00:41:53
Speaker
Which means we are now entwined with the police on this. This could get difficult. If... Because I can't have Bill in the guild at the moment. He has a job.
00:42:06
Speaker
I can't ask. He's not going to quit. He can't. Maybe he has ah does he have a family or something. I don't know. We're fresh out of high school. You think we're asking police officers about their family?
00:42:19
Speaker
Yeah. Jeff, how's the wife? Hey, bro. How are your kids doing? How's family? ah Sorry, just got a weird text. um Okay, so Mr. McBlack's like, okay, great. I'm going to have to Okay, I'm gonna have to deal with this now.
00:42:39
Speaker
i don't know, I don't think he can join our guild. Because he's got obligations, he's not going to be able to. Most likely, if anything, just for the police force. And if I turn him down, they're gonna have to follow up because it has to deal with two major felonies.
00:42:57
Speaker
So... We're gonna have police investigating us now if we don't do something. And... I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Because I don't want to be tied up in a bunch of legal shit on top of everything. Because once they start investigating us, we have to tell them all about this supernatural stuff, and they're going to get us shut down.
00:43:18
Speaker
least that's what I think is going to happen. Might have to pull an old friend back. Next time, talk talk to me before you send someone my way. Alright. Well, hey, to be fair, there wasn't exactly...
00:43:34
Speaker
much time because like we were kind of being interrogated while we were trying to figure out what to do with Bill because like he it seems like he's a ah pretty good cop.
00:43:48
Speaker
He's helped us out a couple times now and we didn't really want to like outright lie to him about anything. So. Hmm. Yeah. Okay.
00:44:00
Speaker
We'll do. oh I'll deal with it. Um. Yeah. I'll let you guys know what I decide on. Alright, bye. She hangs up sounding clearly annoyed. Meh.
00:44:11
Speaker
She's disappointed. Alright, everything's fine. ah that Just a normal everyday Thursday. And this is when you just walk see Walter walk by with bloody pink fur.
00:44:24
Speaker
Pretty much. And Bruce is like, what did you do, Walter? ahead and get my money. ely like A car was taking care of the ferret.
00:44:36
Speaker
Whoa, what? Can get some more context there? Not like that. I offered to walk her home. Would you be right here? Could you just have to walk and I walked a different way? Yeah, I feel like you were walking in a different direction.
00:44:55
Speaker
I'm going to say, yeah, Walter splits from the party. We'll get back to Walter later. Wait, you're going to the police station or the mission board? I'm not walking up with bloody fur into the police station.
00:45:07
Speaker
That's why i was asking that. Okay, in that case, I'm going to make things simple. We'll say the permission board's on the way. Just to make things simple. Hey guys, just got this blood from the guy I killed. The girl I killed.
00:45:21
Speaker
So was like, well, this is gonna be fun. So, okay. You guys are walking down the street. Cookie's leading me down. She turns down a couple of roads and then eventually she gets to an apartment building.
00:45:35
Speaker
um And she's like, ah yeah, this is my place. i Can I help you guys with anything else? Yeah. ah Did I give her the healing items yet? ah I'm gonna say you did. so correct three or in various question mark. Yeah, that's okay.
00:45:52
Speaker
so expensive what Walter's like that's so expensive that costs money are we getting she started getting money from me it's like 200 poke I don't know I I mean because she got hurt through no fault of her own to be fair she said if she received medical care she would reduce it to 1500 instead of 2000 so now she's expecting yeah so she's expecting 1500 you And she's going to give $1,500 back to you when you complete the mission.
00:46:25
Speaker
So essentially, you're doing this contract for no reward. Well, that's not true. I can just rob his store while I get him. That is true. Well, technically, you're doing the mission as a form of debt.
00:46:37
Speaker
ah Because if you choose not to do the mission, you still have to give her $1,500. I mean, but yeah second can he the heck I could just say no. You could, but we'll see what happens with that. Was that the Kangaskhan who ran the general store?
00:46:50
Speaker
Yep. which one holy shit wait that guy the hot is to say every king is gonna run every girl shop oh god gonna have they're gonna be like did you kill my brother an asshole it's like the nurse jenny he he was stealing your he was stealing your wages and then he sent and then he and then he sent my buddy after after you jeez It is a sad and telling.
00:47:19
Speaker
Shut up. for like i I know what I said. I'm correcting it. Yeah. That's funny. Well, um ah well if you want.
00:47:32
Speaker
Well, if you want any help with um Walter, if you want any help with this hit job, count me in. Sure. We got to go back to Hawkeye, but I'm just going to do that. because If we ever go back there.
00:47:46
Speaker
i' not where it does it it's It is not a hit job. It's it's just apprehended this criminal. ah yeah well definitely Rough him Send the message?
00:47:58
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. for the police station i want us um I'm to teach that guy a lesson. You do not mess with... You not steal wages. You do do not... You do not abuse workers. ah um Get ransacked? Not in my book.
00:48:15
Speaker
um glad you all are united on this side of quest. What did do to you? guys What did he do to you guys? Like, yeah, he did that, but you guys are basically okay with me just beating him up.
00:48:27
Speaker
Well, he played you. Really? I just asked if he had a job. ah just realized how this is going to play out. You're going to go up to him. He did your job. it's your turn to die.
00:48:39
Speaker
No, you're gonna go up to him, show him the furret, like, I took out that furret, and he's gonna hand you the 72200. Joke's on you! He just beat him up instead. thought I was going to mission board. Uh, oh yeah, let's see if that works. I forgot about that.
00:48:56
Speaker
Okay. Oh yeah, I we're- I forgot, I said it was ah on the way, so, um, I forgot about that, so the mission board is to your left, I don't know.
00:49:07
Speaker
He walked down there.
Mission Selection: Purple Swamp
00:49:09
Speaker
okay Okay, so you're going to try and submit the parchment and the furret fur. fur He's gonna submit the furring to show a picture of it because he did take a full um picture of it.
00:49:23
Speaker
You're gonna show the
00:49:28
Speaker
thing. He's like, i got i I got the actual one, but someone wrote on it when I was doing something. don't know if it's acceptable. You have to put the submitted parchment in the like bowl there, and then it gets accepted. and He flips over the- he goes to like a little corner, takes a picture of the Kangaskhan, then gets his pencil and scribbles over the Kangaskhan part.
00:49:50
Speaker
Okay. And then turns it in. Okay, you place it in the bowl? Yes. With an 11, it accepts your entire GBA. Not the GBA.
00:50:01
Speaker
No, the whole GBA's gone. That's why I said i scribbled the actual picture of the Kangaskhan. Like I said, I took a picture of the Kangaskhan photo, scribbled on the paper, and then put it in.
00:50:12
Speaker
I thought you said you put your GBA up to it. No. He took a picture on his GBA. Then I stopped because you said you didn't think they'd accept it. And then scribbled out the parchment.
00:50:25
Speaker
Don't make me murder the people inside the quest. Okay, go ahead and roll deception then. I've rolled D20 to see if it would accept it. um Go ahead and roll against that with deception.
00:50:39
Speaker
wait is it deception i'm gonna say deception because you're trying to hide the fact that it's uh that there was something written the back of it straight 15. wow no that works i rolled an 11 for mine so yeah that works it accepts it fully uh now go ahead and roll a now yeah go ahead and roll a yeah whatever persuasion for coin watcher i guess huge you know it's not exactly a person don't think you need to persuade think you just get that Uh, so you're not like asking someone to give you more money. I can get the 1.5 or 1.2. I gotta roll for what?
00:51:16
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. I just meant like you don't have to roll for persuasion because you're not talking to a person. Well, so I get 1.2. I feel like the... but The IQ skill coin watcher is more of like a magical thing of you get money, you're- So we could just say it was a malfunction. Yeah, it just multiplies. Oh, I see.
00:51:37
Speaker
I thought we could just say it was a malfunction and giving them money and they just accidentally gave me more. Bank error in your favor, collect 200. Alright, um... right Yeah, two hundred yeah, I like that. Find us point two, one point two.
00:51:51
Speaker
Okay, go ahead and roll a d20. Okay. Let's if I also have Coin Watcher, can I also roll? Even though I'm not the one directly getting the money?
00:52:01
Speaker
Only if you're getting the money, yeah. It's when you receive it, so. 14? Okay. Is it actually? I don't remember. 14 is mixed. Yeah, 14 is mixed. Can we do it both ways? Because I think I said we did stack it.
00:52:17
Speaker
Well, we stack it, but that's when the whole group is getting a sum of money. It's when we've stacked it in the past. Yeah, this is a solo quest that we're turning into solo. It makes sense to not. Okay.
00:52:29
Speaker
and makes sense to not okay So what is 7200 times 1.2? What? Hold on, 7200 times 1.2. 8640. You get $8,640. Okay. I $32,000. Jesus Christ, can fucking house. How's it down coming? So, it looks like Walter's getting lair.
00:52:45
Speaker
here fourteen i have thirty two grand jesus christ you' buy a fucking house how was it down by
00:52:57
Speaker
it looks like it walter's getting a la you're gonna make your own secret lair yeah i'm gonna buy the casino i'm gonna buy the underground place that he was held at the oh okay um dramatic irony okay um right uh i'm good no it's still it's still morning at this point okay what are you guys doing cookie has gone up and into her apartment Okay, then he's not paying her yet, then, since she's she didn't remember.
00:53:29
Speaker
what Oh, no, she said... No, no she said... so Because she's giving... She's gonna give you $1,500 for the mission being completed, and you're gonna give her $1,500.
00:53:42
Speaker
She's just, if you do the mission, she'll call it even. But if she but if if enough time goes by and you don't do the mission, she's ah probably gonna come after you or something. Or that one-shot it, it's gonna come after me.
00:53:55
Speaker
It technically would make more sense if you just paid her right now, but you can take that initiative. You want to hear something? I one shot it with one move and I still got a TNT button on that probably could kill her.
00:54:07
Speaker
Well, it's up to you to take that initiative. It would make more sense if you just paid her right now. So it's up to you. Does she have a P.O. box in the apartment? You saw which apartment she went to. You can just go knock on her door.
00:54:18
Speaker
I'll knock on her door. Okay. So you knock on her door. She's like, yes. Do you still need something? just throws the money won't play oh okay and she closes the door and that's that so yep um right now i only have 31 grand okay now you have a contract for 1500 keeping things and simple yep all right now what it would have been funnier but did want to throw it in her face okay Listen, even though he felt bad for he's held a grudge for a while, so needs to get some of it out.
00:54:53
Speaker
Because he hasn't been a He searched for the sucker for a bit and has not found it a week, and that's his longest contract he's had yet. There is a mission board. You can get in more missions. Yeah. I mean, that's the longest mission he's had to do yet.
00:55:07
Speaker
Can you go over to the mission board and do some missions? Yeah. Let me pull up my mission board tab and roll something. Yeah. Maybe see if there's anything related to the earth's ring we're searching for.
00:55:19
Speaker
See if there's an even but any other incidents in town. I could completely for forgot about looking for an earth's ring. Okay.
00:55:31
Speaker
Okay. Okay. So, whoa. What? There's no way. Okay. okay Okay, those are stored. I was going to say, I looked at a...
00:55:44
Speaker
I looked at the mission board and I rolled sentret that says, my boss is out of control. Someone please take care of him. There's no fucking way that it popped up again. It's not.
00:55:54
Speaker
That's ah for me to remember them. I didn't realize. We gotta do something about this um for injustice in this world. so so if you guys are curious, yes, it apparently it was a recently sentret.
00:56:06
Speaker
um Okay. I gotta remember how fuck to do this. I'm pretty sure you just evolved it just because it have been stronger, just so we didn't kill it immediately. oh um Okay, so, party size of three.
00:56:25
Speaker
Every push board is guaranteed at least one rank one mission. Every one mission is every time a mission board resets weekly or upon a mission board encounter. I'm taking all of the three missions at time, which may be relative to another.
00:56:36
Speaker
Okay, I got it. I got her i gotta do a bunch of dice rolls, so... the nine oh we have to do some nice rolls too just you it's just me got it so you're just gonna have to give me a second i forgot about the ursaring whole thing i forgot i i got so head focused about the fur but last episode when you said it was there yeah a So disappointed, I thought it was going to have an epic showdown. with I thought it was going to evil boss who just had like a Because he said he was he hacked him and he was like destroying his business.
00:57:14
Speaker
Hold on one second. no Just a vegetable past employer. Okay. Mission info. I could have sworn that rolled automatically.
00:57:27
Speaker
Oh shit, I deleted some fucking sweet XP by this Kangaskhan. Hold on. I think I deleted my... no I didn't. God damn it. I thought it... Man, what's wrong with this quest void? It's going haywire.
00:57:43
Speaker
yeah I thought I had random Pokemon generator. I do! Uh... fuck ah
00:57:53
Speaker
Why do we keep giving missions for only centrists? What's going on here? The mission board's only showing centric missions. Okay. Alright, now I need to roll what the missions are. Number one, I got 19.
00:58:08
Speaker
but Why? Oh my gosh, I'm the guy who's gonna kill him. You put it on a I'm your death note. You write it on a list and do it for you. Oh, jeez. Why are you not rapping?
00:58:20
Speaker
Oh, whatever. Okay. Okay. Yeah. a nine Full disclosure, i I just sent this in the Discord. It was hicar it was um a message that says Hikaru embracing her villain era, and then it's a gif of Light Yagami adding somebody to the list.
00:58:37
Speaker
That's funny, actually. That's actually one of the only mangas I've read is Death Note 2. o Your hate has made you powerful, young one. Oh, that's a rank 2 mission. Hold on. Yeah, except that Hikaru's still good at heart. She like... she just thinks he deserves it.
00:58:55
Speaker
You're just like Light! Yeah. i don't know much about Light. only saw like four episodes and just stopped watching. That's literally her name! Light! Light Hikaru. Hikaru means Light, guys. Hikaru means Light.
00:59:10
Speaker
Oh god. It all makes sense. Okay. all Alright guys, I got it. He got hit by a bus and became a Pikachu and turned into a girl. I almost got it. Now one Heco and Isekai chaining genders and turning into a Pokemon.
00:59:28
Speaker
Alright, here we go. So these are the three missions you guys see. upon here There are two rank 1 missions and a rank 2 mission. In order. A clefable.
00:59:39
Speaker
I'm drowning in garbage and my job keeps me from being able to do my chores. Help. A binacle asks, I dropped my special penny down the street drain. Can someone retrieve it?
00:59:50
Speaker
think that was a dupe. Oh, not bad. Yeah, we did that one last time. And there's a meditam with a rank 2 mission. I need one more ingredient for my research, but...
01:00:04
Speaker
i I need one more ingredient for my research, but insert made up a ingredient variant is only found in insert mystery text. I don't i'd forgot to do that. Hold on.
01:00:22
Speaker
there an epidemic of people dropping pennies down the drains? apparently Apparently so. Um... don't know if we last time we had... Like, maybe the problem is the pennies.
01:00:36
Speaker
You know, we could just send the trash to Johnny Trash. Uh... Let's see. What's called? Yeah. I mean, hey, maybe pennies are just so worthless in this economy that people just keep dropping them on drains instead of using them.
01:00:53
Speaker
Yeah, I mean... I mean, the one... The one Pokecoin is like...
01:00:59
Speaker
Pretty thin and lightweight, you know, not surprised that it just slips out of people's hands.
01:01:06
Speaker
You know, i want to know why they have so many lucky coins.
01:01:12
Speaker
You know, I'm not really digging any of this. One is digging trash. One is to go into a sewer. Maybe with the dungeon. The rewards are 890, 900 and 1840. nine hundred and eighteen forty so the two rank missions are both about 900 and the second one is 1840. and to be clear this is per person feel like the the quest bar just had like a refresh sign and then finally showed where the the dungeon and the ingredient yeah it says i need one more ingredient for my research but the special herb is only found in the purple swamp you know we've not been in a dungeon bed not all of us yeah
01:01:53
Speaker
I say we we take this dungeon one. We're going to dungeon for this. Okay. You guys are grabbing the rank two mission? yep yeah all right gotcha cool you guys know you thought we were going shopping nah we should go shopping first i definitely want to buy some okay okay i've been defeated all right so you guys are going go on shopping for a bit yeah honestly yeah we can we can use this can be like have a little money to get money back after the quest so we'll have it's like gambling you don't bring everything with you when you go gambling you only take a certain amount
01:02:30
Speaker
so so we'll have some money afterwards so um all right so to get to the shopping district you guys are passing the uh you guys are passing the crime scene you guys were before and you notice there's no more crowd because all the money has been picked up there's not a penny on the ground so i need someone to roll perception to find the last penny geez Oh! 9 plus 2 is 11.
01:02:58
Speaker
I got... Yeah, that'll pass. Just narrowly got it. So, in the rubble, you see ah something brown. Something brown?
01:03:09
Speaker
Should I go closer? I'll go closer and check it out. but Okay, you see it is a leather wallet. And sitting next to the leather wallet is a watch with a price tag on it. one by the way, the watch costs 5,000 Poke.
01:03:24
Speaker
a um that's expensive watch um and on the back of the price tag you also see the name of a store it is i had it written down oh you know that watch would be great since we never get good at telling time We can keep that watch.

01:04:38
Speaker
It is. It's a Garchomp.
01:04:41
Speaker
Garchomp. A dead one? The picture shows a dead Garchomp on the ID. What do you say it just has its actual ID in it?
01:04:55
Speaker
Yes. um Hey Karu, can I borrow that? He snaps in half. What do you want to do with it? I just want it. um I think we should probably like I think we should take like if if we're going to do anything with this, we should bring we should probably bring it to the police station. So we have like.

01:05:50
Speaker
Yeah, Bob. And the picture has a dead Garchomp. Is actually a dead Garchomp? It sounds funny, so I'm gonna say he was acting dead when he took the picture.
01:06:05
Speaker
He's like, ah good, good, good. Maybe I can sell this to someone.
01:06:11
Speaker
i thought Walter was going to start collecting IDs of people. I thought he was going to snap it in half. Honestly, I might start a collection. okay Start collecting IDs of people that he's a eliminated. Let me at least photograph it.

Speaker
well no Well, our I think our GBAs are like exceptionally secure. so yeah How encrypted are GBAs? I didn't know encryption was a thing.
01:07:05
Speaker
Encryption hasn't been invented yet. Probably a Rotom could get into them. It's just straight data. There's no encryption. okay Okay, we'll just photograph the idea.
01:07:16
Speaker
To be fair, we have the only functioning GBAs in existence, right? uh there's a well there's a gpa factory so and no the uh the town halls have them yeah only the rich and powerful can get them yeah there's no encryption it just sends straight font to data between back and forth oh geez like It's like ASCII or Morse code. not Anyway. You just hear Morse code emanating from the... Whenever you send a text.
01:07:54
Speaker
I'm gonna photograph the ID. Okay. okay You should keep the watch. we need to In case we need to tell time. because we We always lose track of time here. Yes. It seems to you guys the watch was bought very recently at Gerald Smith's Jewelry.
01:08:09
Speaker
So that is what you guys know. Well, Walter, you you got the 500 poke? It's 50, but yes. Was it 50? 50. It give the power of 500 if she gave him the ID.

01:13:36
Speaker
He's rich and yet he robbed the bank. Maybe that's how he gets- Maybe that's how he get he got rich. I can't rob him, but then everything he needs is probably worth more than that bank. You, uh, see- how You see the, uh, swine up writing on a piece of paper on the desk.
