Character Introductions
00:01:52
Speaker
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, ladies, gentlemen, non-binaries of all universes, all planets, known and unknown. This is Royal Players. Welcome back to the Monster of the Week Extended Universe. We've got Charlie Team kinda up here with us today, so let's just get right into it. Let's introduce our players. Let's start with our favorite Kiwi who comes on the show, Sarah.
00:02:21
Speaker
Your favorite problem. Yes, my favorite problem. Hi, I'm Sarah and I'll be playing Chelsea Edmonds, the Hicks Baker.
00:02:31
Speaker
Do you need a fax or something? Do I need a fax? No, you don't have to fax me anything. You know a fun fax? What's a fun Chelsea fact? Let's give us a Chelsea fact. We never get one. Chelsea will break time to get back the man she loves. I didn't see that coming. Apparently you didn't.
00:02:56
Speaker
Well, yeah, bite me. Let's move on to our good friend, Rebecca. Hello, Rebecca. Who are you playing? How are you? How's life?
00:03:09
Speaker
Hello, I'm Rebecca. Life is good. It's beautiful outside here today, where I live. Yeah, I am playing... I almost said Chelsea. I am playing Leslie Mackenzie, the flake, who has recently sort of
00:03:34
Speaker
accidentally become the semi-voice of reason in the group, which is very strange. Yeah, it's been quite a ride to see that happening. Let's go with Ms. Beluga. Hey, what's going on? How are you doing? Yo, yo, this is Beluga from the Role Players Guild over on Twitch.
00:03:59
Speaker
I am playing Maddie Nelson, the professional who helps fight apocalyptic events. Of the AAA. Of the AAA, not to be confused with AAA. Yep. But last, but certainly not least in my heart, is the one and only, mystery Mr. Ray.
00:04:24
Speaker
Hi there, I'm Mr. Bray, and I am from $2 Creature Feature. I'm the keeper there. But here today I am playing JJ Schmidt. And he is the... What's the playbook called? Spell Slinger, I think? Spell Slinger, yes. I was gonna say Spellbinder, but I didn't think that was right. Yes, so JJ is a spell casting Spellbinder. And...
00:04:51
Speaker
Spell slinger. I told you I would do it. Don't say spellbinder. I said spellbinder. Don't say bowl. I said bowl. So fun J.J. fact. Growing up in his house, he was very exposed to the concept of time travel. And one of the movies that his dad insisted that he watch was Primer.
00:05:18
Speaker
And boy, that is a hard movie for a 10 year old to grapple. That's a hard cut. That's a deep cut. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that's, that's his fact is he, he understands the movie primer and he's pretty familiar with the theory of time travel.
00:05:37
Speaker
That's wonderful. That fits perfectly into this wackadoo world that we are in. But hey, hey audience, hey real quick. Hey, before we get started with our adventure, which I'm sure you're curious after the last episode to see what the fuck is going on.
Monster Manual Book Promotion
00:05:51
Speaker
Hey, did you know that me and Mr. Ray and Ciro kind of worked together on a really cool Monster Manual book that you should look up? It's called the Sierra's Guy or Sierra Presents The Ultimate Creature Compendium, volume one.
00:06:04
Speaker
Maybe you've heard of it on DriveThruRPG. If you just type in the letters M-O-T-W, I'm like the first thing that shows up. Thank you. So hey, go check that out if you're a GM that's new or a veteran that might need a little extra help or maybe might want to make your ventures. There's 25 in there, dude. Just pick one. And then your game's half done for you. So hey, go do that. It's like a really good time. And yeah, I just want to pitch it because I think it's amazing and everybody should see it. So I don't even care.
00:06:32
Speaker
Actually, I do care. Please buy it. Anyway, let's move on to the adventure.
Time and Space Disruption
00:06:37
Speaker
So, last we met, Charlie team, at least two of them. Well, not last, last, but the last before last.
00:06:47
Speaker
JJ was getting tackled by a giant black kitty cat inside of Darby's home and Maddie was there drawing a rifle But when she finishes drawing that rifle, she's gonna use a rifle to maybe shoot the cat and our other two members Leslie and Chelsea As you may know from not last last but last time they got pulled away for who an inordinate amount of time into
00:07:16
Speaker
a place that exists outside of time and space and went and did their own little thing. And apparently now Chelsea is like a time lord or something. So we're going to pick up from the moment that Chelsea and Leslie and Oscar get flung into time because of Chelsea's, uh, terrible depression losing. Yes. And undying love. That's a much better way to put it for Malcolm. Um, so Chelsea and Leslie.
00:07:46
Speaker
The last thing that you guys saw before the teleportation happened was Darby and a man named Carlton and a little two and a half foot tall dummy standing around a pedestal arguing with each other about what to do with this half of a green amulet.
00:08:04
Speaker
While they were arguing back and forth, Chelsea, you grabbed the thing and said that you wanted to go back and get Malcolm. Leslie tried, she tried to stop you and convince you that this was not a good idea. And even Oscar, who you rescued from his imprisonment, was brought just for the ride.
00:08:32
Speaker
But as your particles regroup together, Leslie, you're still holding on to Chelsea. And as you guys pop back into existence, you're right back where you were when JJ got tackled by the cat.
Feline Creature Encounter
00:08:50
Speaker
And he is currently struggling with a large feline on top of him. Maddie has a gun drawn. And you guys are standing right back where you were.
00:08:59
Speaker
Um, but you guys have had an adventure within the seconds that you've been missing while this is happening no No, yeah, I know just hold you do something about the cat please Can I shoot the cat yes, please It's kitty
00:09:24
Speaker
Whoa, look at these big paws. JJ says, I just tried to sink a giant tooth in this. Oh, you're so cute. Let me touch your toe beans. Is that going to make you all sad if I can't? I mean, you're going to have to kill it. You can do it when you want. It's your life. Oh, no. That's a six. Maddie shoots. I mean, does anybody want to roll a help out? You don't have to. Chelsea is not interested.
00:09:53
Speaker
Yeah, I guess that's true. The other two are kind of coming down from a teleportation. If you want to put it at more of an advantageous angle. Yeah, I'll try to help out. All right, cool. Hey, that's enough to give her the plus one.
00:10:09
Speaker
Yeah yourself and more danger if what you a little bit more danger, but you're already in a pretty pretty peak danger for a large feline with Saver tooth, you know mouth so Yeah, so how much damage does the does your gun do Maddie? Let's see. I pulled out my hunting rifle Yes, well, I need to see if I add anything to this with any of my stuff
00:10:33
Speaker
Well yeah, you do have some stuff. I have a lot of stuff. Alright, so I don't think I add anything to it, so it does two harm. Oof. Alright, so you shoot this thing, and the bullet goes right through it.
00:10:52
Speaker
JJ like a really large amount of blood just comes pouring out of this thing. It's still alive trying to attack you for a moment, but a ton of blood just gushes out of it like it was like a balloon filled with tons of blood just like pouring all over you. I want to make an arcana check. Yeah, I want to make an ice wall.
00:11:19
Speaker
an ice wall or, or, or did you say a nice wall? Yes. Okay. A very nice ice wall. Um, okay. How do you want to do that? Like around you and the cat? Um, I more or less, I want to like, um, kind of like, I know the cat's on me, but I want to kind of free, like do like an ice dome over it or, um, kind of like just separating its mouth from me.
00:11:48
Speaker
Oh, you mean like put the like the ice wall between you and it so it can't? Yeah, as best as I can. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, that sounds like a weird to me. All right, man. I use magic to me. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, I'm gonna like as fast as I can like do like some hand gestures and mutter something in another language. And then what are your hand gestures look like? Oh, they look like this.
00:12:17
Speaker
Ah, cool. Yeah. I just needed it for the visual. Cool. So that's a Niner on. So what's your effect and what it, well, you already said your effect. I guess you're trying to do. Uh, it's, it's kick some, uh, technically it's a kick some ass from move. Oh, is it? Oh, oh yeah. You're right. You're right. That's right. I don't know if I can make a wall actually.
00:12:46
Speaker
No, I cannot. I'm sorry. So yeah, instead, I'm just gonna be like shooting ice out of my mouth to try to like, like freeze the cat. Okay, man, I really like that wall idea. I do. I just can't reach him right now. I don't think.
00:13:07
Speaker
Yeah, you're trying to keep giant teeth from going into your head. Yeah, and usually, like, spellslingers need three of my tools to activate, but I have advanced arcane training, which allows me to only use two. Nice. So you're spitting some ice breath? Yeah. Okay.
00:13:28
Speaker
Yeah, that works. Um, so, uh, you're doing some Superman ice breath on it. Um, yeah. Um, and it does three harm, um, close, obvious, loud and restraining. Absolutely. Uh, yeah. So you kind of blow this thing off of you, um, with your, um, ice breath. Um, uh, you know what, I don't even think we'd have that opportunity to really hurt you that much. Cause like, you're pretty much incapacitating it. So, I mean, it's really not.
00:13:57
Speaker
to be able to do anything. So I think it probably staggers off of you for a second and its joints are starting to crack. I'm not going to say it's totally sub-zero frozen, but you can see it's just coming out of a freezer. It's very stiff. It's not moving as agile anymore. You've definitely slowed it down and it's moving very, very slow right now.
00:14:18
Speaker
And you have freed yourself, JJ. You're good to go. Leslie and Chelsea, are y'all doing anything? Are you even paying attention to this fight? What is happening with you two as this is happening? Chelsea's very disappointed. I think I'm probably pretty.
00:14:38
Speaker
shaken up. Okay. So you're maybe zoned out to the fact that there's a battle going on around the other side of the room? No, I'm aware it's going on, but I'm recalibrating to the fact that I just time jumped again. You're right.
00:14:57
Speaker
I just want to say that Chelsea's trying to work out what the fuck went wrong. She was specifically thinking of Malcolm and saving Malcolm from a time that he might die and wanting to get there. She's trying to work out why she has not been taken to Malcolm in a time he died. Right. That is very fair. Leslie, did you want to take an action or did you want to say anything to Chelsea before we go back around?
00:15:26
Speaker
Yeah, it's not, it is not, it's definitely not the most helpful thing to do at all. Um, but I think I did, I turned to Chelsea and I'm just like, I told you. I mean, it sort of works. Different time, different place. Just still for some reason. I'll try again. I'll try again. No, no, no, no, no.
00:15:56
Speaker
And she tries again. Are you seriously going to try to time jump again? Yeah. Leslie, are you going to do anything about that? Can I please try to take the stone away from her? Sure. I mean, yeah, I don't know if you had the time to do it last time, but you certainly are close enough to try it now, especially since she just told you she's going to try again.
00:16:27
Speaker
Why don't we make it... Why don't we turn it into a... I think it definitely sounds like an act under pressure kind of thing. Did you say a tough-off?
00:16:41
Speaker
Do you really want to do it? I mean, that's fine. You know what? I'll let you pick. You can either roll cool or tough in a contest to see who wins in just a straight. Oh, both of us can roll cool or tough. Yeah, I mean, I think it's only fair. I don't think, you know, because I'm sure that you would still want to- Oh, if that's the case, I'm definitely rolling cool, not tough. Oh, same. That's always the one to tough off would be funny.
00:17:06
Speaker
let's just yeah well we could do a tough off that'd be funny for both you don't think either one of you has did i just use magic so i've got a one plus did you just use magic well the last thing you rolled was cool was it i think the last thing i think you rolled was a cool
00:17:24
Speaker
Um, yeah, it was a cool roll. It was a 12 that was for you to like maintain composure. So you don't get the plus. Um, it's a tie. Jesus. So we spent another round wrestling fighting each other for this fricking stone. There's two fights going on in this room.
00:17:46
Speaker
Is Leslie and Chelsea trying to like take a stone and then there's Maddie and JJ trying to- The funny thing is that Chelsea might actually know something about this creature because Darby said that Granny sent it. Well, that's true. You could be very helpful to, you know, these two people who are currently being casted by Kat.
00:18:06
Speaker
Okay, let's go back up around there. Let's go back to let's go back to Maddie Maddie. You just saw JJ blast the big cold burst of air from his from his face hole and Slow down this kitty cat. What are you doing? Yeah, I'm going to Get myself between Between the kitty cat and JJ Okay, pulling out my pistol instead cuz now I'm at a closer range
00:18:37
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And I will roll that kick some ass. Roll that beautiful bean footage. Ooh! Boy, your rolls are getting real dodgy. It's because I'm not Ollie anymore. Yes, true.
00:18:53
Speaker
You're a nigh indestructible as Ali. So yeah, so you got to take a shot at this thing. And you know, I'm just going to say that like you hate it, but like, maybe it kind of deflects it off of one of the more frozen parts that JJ froze, and the bullet just ricochets off into the wall somewhere. And it sets its sights on you and its eyes get really
00:19:18
Speaker
It's eyes get really really blood red and it just like starts like quivering and it's in its hair start to stand up what you can see of it and it's like kinda hobbling towards you now. I give it a look back like bring it off.
00:19:33
Speaker
JJ, so right now there's a Maddie between you and a kitty caddy, and she just bounced a shot off of its icy body. What do you do? I think I'm going to grab Maddie and teleport her probably to the other side of the room away from the cat. With angel wings? Yeah.
00:20:01
Speaker
Okay? I do believe you have to roll weird if you take someone else with you. I do, yeah. Otherwise, I could just do it freely. Right, by yourself, yeah. Which is way too much power to give me. It's a lot of—yeah, it's a lot—well, I already learned that with Carlton and the other team. Angel Wings is too powerful.
00:20:19
Speaker
Uh, an eight. Um, so I think on an eight, like it doesn't get you quite where you want to go, but you get kind of in like the ballpark. Um, so, but you're like a room. Yeah. You're either separated or you all appear in the wrong place. Um, uh, I'm going to say that, um,
00:20:39
Speaker
I think you inadvertently teleport you and Maddie into another room in Darby's place. Yeah, and you end up just in some room that's literally made of all gold. It's a bathroom where the toilet is gold, the sink is gold. Everything is just shiny and glistening.
00:20:58
Speaker
Wow, this reminds me of the Trump Museum. Yeah It's just it's just it's just there's just a lot of gold there and there's like a bunch of old cut-up magazines and stuff of like pictures that he liked it took out So party the lot in his bathroom, I think What the hell where are we? I'm just gonna open the door and try and find my way back downstairs It's just like I'm over this shit
00:21:29
Speaker
It's like, I don't care. Yeah, when you walk out, you can see after a few paces, you can hear the cat just letting out this little bellowy growl.
Magic and Chaos
00:21:42
Speaker
And you're actually at a balcony, and you can look over it and see down into the foyer below where the big table is. And the cat's on the other side of it, just kind of confused as to what the hell just happened to the thing it was trying to eat. You can see it setting its sights on Leslie and Chelsea.
00:21:58
Speaker
Oh yeah that's a good idea long-range shooting. Okay I like that. All right let's try this again. All right I'll take it. That's better that's an eight I mean there's no way it's gonna be a retaliate against you from freaking all the way back down there. It's good but I think that good. So that is what another two, two, three? Two.
00:22:19
Speaker
too harm with the rifle. Again, you blast it, and it just winces. And more and more blood just pulls all over the place. This thing is just oozing it everywhere. And it doesn't seem that affected by the fact that it's bleeding so profusely. But you have wounded it again, and it stumbles back. And one of its legs is still frozen. It rolls over for a second onto its back. And it's struggling to get up like a tortoise on its shell.
00:22:46
Speaker
I taunt it and go, here, kitty, kitty. JJ, are you still hanging out in the bathroom? No, I think JJ is going to try to follow, like, just to make sure everything's, you know, like, Matt, he's not accidentally getting killed. But Sean, I think seeing how much, like, blood is going on, I think JJ is going to take a minute to kind of investigate what this is. Ah, yes, very good. Investigate a Mistral, you think? Yeah.
00:23:16
Speaker
As plus shop that's a nine or it's pretty good I think that's one question right yeah yeah what can hurt it. You could reasonably. Assume based on the fact that it doesn't seem.
00:23:36
Speaker
bothered at all by the fact that it's bleeding so badly, that stabbing it or piercing it is not the way to do it. It seems more like you probably want to keep the blood in, so doing some sort of blunt force to it might be a better way to go or incapacitating it some way so it can't move or run.
00:24:00
Speaker
Um, actually it's good that you froze it, um, because it's actually quite an agile creature, but you kinda, you trumped me on that one because well, I mean, what's it going to do? Um, so yeah, but it seems like it, the fact that it's profusely bleeding means nothing. So you, so you might want to actually keep its wounds closed and give it a lot of blunt force trauma instead. Okay. Um, then I want to try doing another magic blast from your ear, like, uh, okay.
00:24:29
Speaker
What's this look like? I think this time JJ pulls out a popsicle from his belt and he'll put the whole thing in his mouth and slide it out and point the stick at the cat and he's going to fire a nice blast from it. You just slide it in and out?
00:24:54
Speaker
No, no, it's like that, that thing that like, um, like a tongue depressor. Well, no, like it's, it's a full popsicle, but he puts the whole thing in his mouth. Yeah. Deep in his throat. And then he like,
00:25:09
Speaker
You know, bites down just enough and pulls the stick out, but leaves the popsicle in. So like, this is severe brain freeze territory, but my man, he can take it. It's like listening to Mr. Ray read erotica.
00:25:24
Speaker
Hey, you know what? Uh, if we get enough subscribers, I'll do that. We'll have Mr. Ray. Let's put them on Patreon. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I will. Mr. Ray reads erotica, fan erotica. Uh, yeah. Adam, I will let you pick, uh, I'll let you pick like some AO3 erotica and let the patrons vote for it and whoever, like whichever one wins, I will read that. That's the best. Oh, so good.
00:25:53
Speaker
Yeah, let's make that happen. Okay, so you shoot this blast, you roll the... Oh, I guess you didn't roll yet. Oh yeah, I haven't rolled yet. He kicked some IS for a popsicle blast down at the cat. Wow, that's a 12. That is a 12. You get an extra effect, my friend. All right. I want to put it where I want it, and I want it to just stop moving.
00:26:16
Speaker
Man, you guys dual-handedly beat the shit out of this thing. So congratulations on that. And while you're doing that, you peer over the ledge, and you see Chelsea and Leslie are currently tussling, trying to grab something from one another. There was a scuffle going on between your two friends who, for some reason, decided not to help you fight this thing. Another cool role?
00:26:41
Speaker
I mean, Leslie, are you, I mean, are you guys having another conversation? Are you going to try something else? I mean, I'm trying to get this rock from her. Um, now I think it's a tough role because before you were both just trying to act quickly, but now it's like you guys are already grabbing onto the thing and trying to rest it from the other person. This seems very much like it's a, it's a, it's a no.
00:27:08
Speaker
A seven for Leslie, an eight for Chelsea. So as you guys are peering down into the balcony seeing this happen, also you guys have like a huge blast of cold that comes down across and like gunshots raining down from above you as you guys are tussling with this. And Chelsea gets a little bit more of her hands on the stone and manages to pull it away from Leslie for a moment. And I run!
00:27:37
Speaker
Okay, so where are you running? Where are you going? I don't know. I think Chelsea just turns and runs through a door. Okay, so Chelsea runs. Leslie, you're the first one nearby. Chelsea, you're running towards the nearest door or the one you came through? Nearest. Okay. Wow, what a weird room. There's all these swings in here. Yeah.
00:28:00
Speaker
There's all these chains and collars, secret dogs. You run towards the nearest door, you open it up and there is just a huge garden. It looks like a field with plants everywhere and flowers and a beautiful sunset on the horizon.
00:28:27
Speaker
Leslie, Chelsea just took off with the medallion in hand. What do you do? I wouldn't chase her. You're just going to run after her? Yes. Y'all, I got to tell you, if this were me, I would have shot Chelsea right now. I was just waiting for my turn because I was just going to turn to JJ and be like, should I stop her? What's going on? Yeah, so you guys will act next just because Leslie is like the closest. So Leslie, you're going to just bolt after her.
00:28:57
Speaker
Yeah. And to do what? What are you trying to do as Chelsea makes her way through this door? I don't know. I just want to stop her from time jumping again. I mean, I don't know. Are you just trying to catch up to her? Are you trying to grab ahold of her? Are you trying to get her attention? At the moment, I'm just trying to catch up with her.
00:29:19
Speaker
Um, okay. Um, let's just make sure let's make another cool role. Um, I didn't have Chelsea do one because she had already won the role and would have more time to run. That's a, holy shit. That's a big fat 10 for Leslie. Man, she must still have some of that cookie strength left from the one she ate in the chronosphere. Um, but yeah, like you, you keep pace with her and like, as she's about to, as she's running through that, you are going in the door, right? Uh, Chelsea? Yep. Going through.
00:29:47
Speaker
She goes through, and before she can shut the door behind her, you catch it and fling it back open, and you are right in step with Chelsea, no sweat, after rolling a 10 plus. So, yeah. Yeah, that was- Can't shoot her now, because Leslie's in the way.
00:30:07
Speaker
Okay, let's go real quick up to Maddie and JJ. So you guys just incapacitated this big old panther cat and Leslie and Chelsea just ran away from this room. What do you know what that's about?
00:30:21
Speaker
I have no idea. They look like they were fighting over something. Is it a boy? I don't know. Look, there might be some kind of magic going on here. I think you should go investigate them. I'm going to try to take care of the cat to make sure it goes somewhere safe, and we can just go from there. All right?
00:30:50
Speaker
All right, I'll switch to my pistol and run after them. You see her running down the stairs with a pistol in hand. Let's make you do an act under pressure as well, just to see how well you fare. I mean, you won't be able to catch up the way Leslie did, but you're an athletic gal. I don't know. With a 12, maybe you would be. I just leap over the balcony and start making it. Fucking superhero landing.
00:31:19
Speaker
No, never a superhero landing. That'll take out my knee. Yeah, bad for the knees. I land on the balls of my feet.
00:31:26
Speaker
And you roll. Yes, and I roll.
Desperate Time Travel Attempts

Well, OK, I apologize for saying that you wouldn't be able to keep up with this. You land and you kind of start running and you get within. I'd say that, again, just because of distance wise, probably within like three or four feet of the door, you're not quite in there with where Chelsea and Leslie are. But you can see it's flung wide open because Leslie managed to catch up and see just like a big scene of some sort of flowery, beautiful field in this room as you see there kind of running off into it.
00:31:55
Speaker
I mean I suppose since you can see them if if you want to if you want to take another action since Since you had such a good cool role I suppose that would make sense since you're kind of on a roll literally am I able to get into the door into the door I Would assume that Leslie and Chelsea are still running but yes you could definitely get into the door I get into the door and then I fire my gun at the air as like a warning shot and
00:32:23
Speaker
Okay. So you hear gunshots cracking throughout this field, Leslie and Chelsea. Leslie, you're like right there. You're in tow with Chelsea. Chelsea, what do you do? And then we'll get to JJ with the kitty cats. Duck and run. Someone's shooting at us. Duck and run. Okay. Okay. How about we have you do a cool role?
00:32:52
Speaker
and act under pressure as well. Freeze. Do you yell freeze? Yes, I yell freeze. Okay. Freeze. I want a nine. That's not too shabby. Okay. Let's see. On a niner, make success. The keeper's going to give you a worse outcome, a harder choice, and a price to pay.
00:33:14
Speaker
I'm going to say that you're still able to keep moving from this. It's not really a distraction to you, but either one, Leslie is definitely going to be able to catch you because you're going to stumble at some point in this kind of weird place. Or the thing you probably don't want to happen is you're going to have a much looser grip on that stone because you were startled by a gunshot as you're running. You can keep your pace or you can lose your grip. I want to keep a hold of it.
00:33:43
Speaker
Okay, so you're going to stumble, but keep a good firm hold on the stone. Yeah. Um, okay, cool. So yeah, Leslie, you are definitely able to snatch Chelsea at this point because as she's running and the gunshot fires, she continues her progress forward, but stumbles because the startles her for a second, but she manages to keep hold tight of the, of the stone. Um, so you are definitely able to catch hold of her. What do you want to do now that you are, I'm assuming still trying to keep, keep in tow with her.
00:34:12
Speaker
Grapple. By which I mean, I'm going to try again to take the stone. You know what? Let's make this interesting and make it
00:34:30
Speaker
Again, you don't have to do harm specifically, but it sounds to me like it's going to be a tough roll and maybe even a kick some ass depending on what you're trying to do because this is getting pretty intense at this point. Yeah. I'm definitely not trying to hurt her. Right. You can do kick some ass and not do a ton of harm, but if you roll high enough, you can put her where you want her.
00:34:56
Speaker
Let me, let me try a tough one first. Okay. Oh my, let me get another pub signal. Uh, seven. Um.
00:35:08
Speaker
I would say that you can get your hands back on her hands where she has a stone, but she did choose to have a better grip on it so that you could catch up to her. You're right back, essentially, how you started in the beginning, but now you're in some weird magic land doing what you were doing before. Chelsea, you're not going to be able to run right away because you're going to have to rest this from her again, or at least get from her grip. Since you stumbled and she caught up to you, she's at the advantage.
00:35:34
Speaker
Um, but you still had the stone tied in hand. Um, and, uh, again, Maddie, you just see, you just see Leslie pretty much just like glomping over top of Chelsea and then fighting her again. Maddie's running going, a boy isn't worth all this.
00:35:53
Speaker
Stop your hiding! Did you yell yes it is? Don't make me shoot! Stop or my mom will shoot. Chelsea, what makes you think that it'll work this time if it didn't work before? How do you know you're not going to end up in primordial soup era? What if you land somewhere and you can't get back?
00:36:21
Speaker
Use your brain! What would I get back to? I mean, anyway, it's got to be better than here, right? And she'll use magic. Oh, my God! She's going to keep coming till this doesn't work at all. OK, you know what, what are the requisites for your magic usage, BTDubs?
00:36:57
Speaker
Do you have to do anything somatic with your arms or hands or anything? Don't you need materials to use, to use some of your spells? You didn't seem to care about that last time I used it.
00:37:12
Speaker
I care now because there's a scuffle. So it's not so much that I care that you need your materials, but I care that you have your hands and your mind in the right position to do it. Because before no one was fighting you, they were just talking to you. Now she's literally fighting you to try to take this thing out of your hands. So if you need your hands to do anything at this point, she's got you pretty much held. So it's going to be a little harder than it was last time.
00:37:37
Speaker
Well, I'm still holding on to what I assume to be the focus, which would be the stone, right? So that would be my material. Yeah. But do you need to do any sort of gestures?
00:37:48
Speaker
I'm not like a spell slinger. I only need to do that with my rotes, I think. Okay. Just the rotes? I think so. Okay. It's going to be a little tougher of a role. If this is big magic, there's this difference. It's absolutely big magic. You're trying to time travel.
00:38:09
Speaker
Okay, well then there are things the keeper may require you to need to spend a lot of time, days or weeks, researching the magic ritual. I'm going to need you to spend weeks casting the spell. What? I don't need to spend weeks casting the spell, please. I mean, she would. I know. You need to experiment with the spell. There will be a lot of failures before you get it right. You need some rare and we're doing that. That one.
00:38:37
Speaker
Yeah, so you're gonna fail a lot okay, okay So I know exactly how it's gonna work depending on how you roll Okay, but same rules apply you cannot use luck on this. There's no way you're gonna luck your way into being able to time travel So it's going to what I have you do before a magic in a cool. I Think it was a weird and a cool that I had you do it might have been in a different order but
00:39:06
Speaker
No, cool was the last thing that you ruled. Oh, was it? Okay, well then it must be a magic and a cool, so use magic. Yeah, there's a magic and a cool. So as long as you are cool with the rules of magic, of time travel. 14! And I have a plan! Use magic! Jesus Christ. It seems the dice want the story to go somewhere, Adam.
00:39:31
Speaker
I also want, I mean, yeah, that too. I'm sorry guys, I'm being very selfish, but presenting perfect opportunity for Chelsea. I took it.
00:39:45
Speaker
Uh, okay. Um, and then a cool, please. Um, but I'm going to have, I'm going to have, I'm going to have Leslie contest this next part. Oh, interesting. Because she is currently trying to. Roll the six on your pool.
00:40:02
Speaker
Um, so you could Leslie you can see this stone is like starting to light up again This really bright flash that you recognize is oh shit. We're about to bam But you see that she's losing grip on it like it's starting to take a toll on her from using it That's what the cool role is for but this time Chelsea is not ready for it. So the magic was cast She's like, oh, I kind of remember how I did it but boy, this is a lot on my body So you see her hand starts to kind of like her grip starts to loosen but the stone is lit up
00:40:33
Speaker
You also Chelsea you do get your XP for that. So yeah Leslie, what do you do? You can contest this however way you like at this point, whatever Leslie would want to do Chelsea looks to be all of a sudden like she just looks like she's like really powerful and then the moment the stone turns green She just looks really faint and not so good anymore Mmm
00:41:02
Speaker
And then we'll get to JJ meanwhile with the cat. Yeah. I kind of forgot about you, Mr. Ray. That's fine. I kind of love this. Can I use my big ass flashlight to try to knock the stone out of her hand? Jesus. I mean, you sure could. I thought you were going to say knock her out because she's already on the way down. Sure. Yeah. I mean, although I will say, I mean, like, if it's trying to
00:41:33
Speaker
I mean, I'm assuming it would be kick some ass because I'm using like a weapon even though I'm not trying to hurt her. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Yeah. Why don't we do that? That's fine. I was going to say you could also do cool if you wanted to because at this point you're just trying to like be the voice of reason. But if you think that like using your big flashlight is what Leslie would do, then yeah, let's do that.
00:41:54
Speaker
Yeah. She's tried to just take it away several times to no avail, so I think she's finally just going to be like, just swat it out of your hands. Okay.
00:42:07
Speaker
That's a seven. That's passable enough based on a failed time-traveled role. I'd say you probably get some timey-wimey explosion on you from the blast because Chelsea did activate this thing. You whack it out of her hand with your flashlight and as it hits the ground, it lets out this concussive explosion.
00:42:36
Speaker
And then you see a big chunk of the ground that it landed on is gone. And so is it.
00:42:48
Speaker
Put down your weapon. She's like, I just saved the timeline and the multiverse and you're putting a gun at me. Also, Maddie, before we cut to JJ, Maddie, you notice that Leslie and Chelsea look probably like five years younger.
00:43:21
Speaker
What is happening? You guys got caught in timey wimey blast. I mean, what do you think was going to happen? I guess that's better than getting older. I thought about that. But because you were trying to go backwards, it made sense that that would be the direction that your aging would go. Sure. So yeah, so before we resolve that, let's all take a breath and go see what JJ is doing with the big kitty.
00:43:38
Speaker
Oh. What?
00:43:50
Speaker
JJ. What's going on over there, buddy? What's up, kitty cold kitty.
00:44:01
Speaker
Uh, I think JJ, um, yeah, you know, there's this big dramatic action with Maddie where she just jumps off. Um, I think JJ like goes down the stairs until like the last few. And he like looks around and like gets on the rail and just slides the rest of the way. Then, um, he's going to walk to where the cat is. And, um, I think he's now that he's got a little bit better time, he's going to take a, get a better look and do another investigative mystery.
00:44:31
Speaker
Sure. Yeah, it's still kind of wiggling a little bit, but it's very much frozen. That's a 12er. That's two questions there, big guy. What do you want to know? What sort of creature is it?
00:44:47
Speaker
Oh boy, this, um, hmm. Would JJ know the exact thing? Maybe. I mean, he's probably seen some shit. Maybe now that he's got like a better look at it, I think he might be able to pick up what it is.
00:45:03
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you can you can tell us why you would know, but this now that you can get a really good look at it. Looking at it, you can see that it's that it's fangs. It's too big as fangs are really hollow and there's really tiny holes in them. So you know this bad boy use them to suck blood.
00:45:20
Speaker
I'm like why else would they be like that? And then it's like body is ballooned with blood because it drinks so much of it to stay alive At least to replace blood that it already has so you could make a pretty good assumption that this here is a blood cat Okay So I want to ask
00:45:46
Speaker
a question and I'm not sure how you want to handle it because it's not on the list. But where does this creature belong? Like because it's not it's not a typical house cat. But like where do these usually come from? Usually
00:46:04
Speaker
There are different types of blood cats, depending on where you go. Some of them are found in very wooded areas, like in the natural wild.
00:46:17
Speaker
But these are not inherently creatures that evolved to be like this, they are supernatural creatures. And they can often be found in very magical places, like very high magic places like you. JJ probably knows of at least legends, if not the actual fae, like the fae lands, right? Yeah.
00:46:38
Speaker
So, or the fey world is what I think I called it. So this thing has like magic oozing all over it, like supernatural energies. So this thing belongs in some sort of like fey world or fey universe. It was probably just brought here as like a present or like a pet or something. Okay. I kind of want to do big magic.
00:47:03
Speaker
Oh, big magic. Yeah, because the regular magic doesn't quite cover this, but I want to send this back to where it belongs. Okay. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Big magic. I would say that, hmm.
00:47:25
Speaker
This is probably a ritual that you probably have to cast to do that. It's probably not just like a snap your fingers and do it kind of thing. Right. So this is probably something that's going to take you a second to open up some sort of rift that can send it to where it needs to go. Yeah. So I'd say it's probably just something that's going to take you a second to perform the ritual, to put the right things in order, or in your case, the ingredients, right? Yeah, yeah.
00:47:47
Speaker
So yeah i mean however you want to flavor that but that's probably i would say that jay jay could probably do that if he concentrates enough. Yeah he takes out a putting cup that he has on and he like dips his fingers into it and he uses that to like draw out the vanishing circle.
00:48:05
Speaker
Oh, dude, that's such a cool idea, Mr. Ray. That's so good. Oh, thank you. Oh, that's so good. And he'll inscribe in certain rooms. There's a protection room to make sure this thing can get healed up, whatever it goes, wherever it belongs, before anything can hurt it. He wants to make sure it's taken care of. Because as regretful as it was, he didn't want to kill it. He didn't want to hurt it. He just wanted to
00:48:30
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So I think, yeah, and I can roll a weird for all if you want to like, yeah, let's just see what kind of what effect this has overall. But I really, that's a very cool way to flavor it. Man, I want to know what kind of belt this dude has where he has popsicles that don't melt and he has pudding cups at the ready, man. I want that belt so
AAA Report and Consequences
00:48:49
Speaker
bad. It's a magic utility belt. I love it. A belt of colding.
00:48:56
Speaker
A belt of preservation. That's a 13 for my ideas magic.
00:49:02
Speaker
So JJ like you're doing this and like you're on point man like you know exactly what runes to inscribe you're doing everything like you this probably ain't the first time you've done it and You cast a spell what does it look like after you put the runes and everything does he does he do any sort of incantation? To light up the rune or does it just happen when he finishes it? I think whenever he finishes the circle like he'll like snap his fingers and like every candle in the room lights up and
00:49:27
Speaker
And he'll say an incantation and do gestures and gets the whole Doctor Strange special effects light show going on where he's doing his own gestures to pinpoint where this belongs. And then his eyes light up and there's a big poof of smoke and suddenly it's gone.
00:49:55
Speaker
When this big cloud of smoke poofs, as you said it, you see the smoke almost like a specter or like a ghost, like it's being pulled into one of the Ghostbuster traps, gets whisked from that room in the direction that Chelsea and Leslie were running. That Maddie followed. Uh-oh.
00:50:23
Speaker
We're in the Feywild, guys. I mean, that's where Darby's from, so we want to have a way to get there. I should go check on that. Yes, that just goes woo. I think it's whisked away. JJ just sees where it gets whisked off to and is like,
00:50:45
Speaker
Well, that's not good. It just starts heading that way. Okay. So Maddie, I figure I feel like I should give you another action since they were doing quite the tussles. So after like Chelsea's kind of like in a little bit of a daze on the ground, Leslie- No, she's screaming. No.
00:51:06
Speaker
Or that too. Leslie whacked this thing down. Big green explosion. You're standing there with your gun pointed. Everybody looks a little younger now. What do you do? Well, I already told them to, or I told Leslie to put down the weapon. It's right. So you're still, you're waiting for Leslie to drop her flashlight. Yes, I'm waiting for her to comply.
00:51:33
Speaker
Put it back in my backpacker wherever I carry it. Both of you separate. I take a step away from her. Chelsea's just dropped to the ground and is sobbing. What did you do to her? I didn't let her time travel. Time travel? I didn't let her time travel.
00:52:03
Speaker
Time travel. She gave Chelsea a very stern look. The AAA is going to have a lot to say about this. The AAA is not going to be happy. This could have caused an apocalyptic event.
00:52:25
Speaker
So we had the time travel stone because we were trying to stop an apocalyptic event, maybe. Um, but Chelsea has had a very traumatic experience recently and, you know, Acting out of her pain. Um, she wanted to try to go back and fix it, which is a very understandable feeling. Um, but not a great idea. So I tried to not let her do that.
00:52:53
Speaker
Maddie puts away her pistol and takes out a notebook and a pencil. He goes, all right. Where did you receive this time traveling device? Elaborance writes it down. And when did you go to Elaborance?
00:53:21
Speaker
A few minutes ago. Looks at you questioningly, but write it down. How did you go to the labyrinth when we were all in the house? Someone else pulled us there. Do you know who this someone is?
00:53:47
Speaker
No. Hm, mysterious. Figure pulls into labyrinth. I see. I don't know why this is so funny to me. Can I look at the time-traveling device? Uh, no. So, uh, Chelsea activated it.
00:54:16
Speaker
but wasn't able to quite use it right. And when I swatted it out of her hand, it hit the ground and it disappeared. So I think it went somewhere. It disappeared. That's your story. I point to the chunk of the ground that's missing. I'm like, that's where it landed.
00:54:37
Speaker
A likely story. Just appeared, question mark, question mark. I will walk over pulling out my flashlight and check the ground to see if it is in fact missing. Oh my gosh. Do you want to perhaps investigate a mystery? Surely.
00:55:04
Speaker
I don't know why that was so funny, but man, I was having such a hard time not laughing over here. That's a five for investigative history. Fully experienced. Nice. That's great.
00:55:17
Speaker
Did you say you take out your flashlight and shine it? Yes, yes. In this little sunset, there's still some light shining. You shine your light around and all you see is like there's like a crevice, a big old crevice that like there's nothing. It kind of looks like the earth was shaped that way. Like it's not like anything like fell in it or whatever. It just looks like that's a natural formation, the way that like just just looks like pieces of the ground are missing.
00:55:45
Speaker
Um, but like on purpose, um, but yeah, you don't see any sign of any, um, any device. Oh, and she's actually making these noises. It does seem like it is missing. Okay. What else are we going to say?
00:56:16
Speaker
When exactly in time were the two of you trying to get to? Like an hour ago maybe? An hour ago, so like before we met.
00:56:33
Speaker
Or yeah, several hours, a couple hours ago. Oh, several hours ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was sad. I, the player, forgot how long it had been. And what exactly occurred during this time that is so important that you'd be willing to risk an apocalyptic event or time change in order to go back?
00:57:00
Speaker
Someone that we both care about and that she loves a lot died. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. All right, that's all the questions I have for now. I will have to let the AAA know about this. But consider yourselves under a fierce warning as of right now. Well, we don't have a stone anymore, so. Yes, and that makes it even worse.
00:57:31
Speaker
Well, we can't time travel again, so. Yes, but now someone else might be able to, depending on where I ended up. Yeah. It's just like, yep, got that right, yep, yep, that's about right. Not wrong.
00:57:49
Speaker
at least under my supervision, like it could have been okay. I could have at least confiscated it. But now that it could get into my else's hands, it might be a problem. Again, I'm gonna have to report to the AAA about this. It's pretty easy to find though. And JJ's just been like standing here for undisclosed amount of time just like listening. Sure.
00:58:15
Speaker
Oh, how would we go about finding it? She flips open her notebook again. Well, there's a spell I can cast. More magic, gotcha. Yeah, more magic. There's nothing wrong with magic.
00:58:31
Speaker
I wasn't saying it in an offensive way. I was just making a note of it. Right. And I think JJ Lake looks at Leslie and Chelsea and he's like, don't worry, we're going to find the stone. And regardless of how that works out, I promise you, Mal is going to come back.
00:58:56
Speaker
And I think JJ will kneel down and I want to use magic on the spot where the stone disappeared. Okay. Um, time and place. Is it that magic spell? Yeah. Cool. That's a 12.
00:59:12
Speaker
Cool. Now before I address what you're about to do, I am curious just for story purposes, what has Chelsea stopped shouting at this point? And then hearing what JJ has to say and Leslie explaining everything to Maddie, where's Chelsea at in all this after having a failed, a botched stone travel?
00:59:37
Speaker
She's still on the ground, but these quiet tears are still running down her face, but she's silently watching what JJ is doing. Okay. So, JJ, you're casting a spell on the area where the stone exploded.
00:59:58
Speaker
Yeah, he and I think for flavor on this, he's going to pull out a small bottle of alcohol and sprinkle it over the area, and then he's going to light a match over it and ignite it. He got a 12 on his roll. So I think in the flames, he's going to observe another time and he wants to know where this stone went.
01:00:25
Speaker
Um, it traveled exactly where Chelsea wanted it to go. Oh no.
01:00:39
Speaker
Which if I recall correctly, Chelsea, you can tell me if I'm wrong, but I think you and I were discussing where you thought you might want to go. We had two options and I think you said you wanted to go to the point right before Malcolm died so you could rescue him or then there was the other one. The other one, yeah. Well, it was the first one, but I think eventually you said that you would try to save Malcolm from being shot. Yeah.
01:01:08
Speaker
I'm still going to give you the option, although I think you picked one, but if you want to, still pick. It wasn't a perfect role at the time. She was aiming for right before he died, but the alternative option was the night before on the bedroom. Technically past Chelsea, now here's the stone.
01:01:28
Speaker
Or it's sitting around in her bedroom and still in her bedroom. But you could get it. Someone's getting traumatized. I was going to say, I really hope it's not that moment.
01:01:44
Speaker
So are you saying that it's going back to the magical moment or the not so magical moment or the moment before the not so magical moment? The bedroom moment. I can't say it was or wasn't magical because it was both. I mean, it was magical, but it wasn't exactly how they planned it.
01:02:08
Speaker
Um, yeah, so you can see, oh, oh, JJ, I'm so sorry. Um, so you witnessed another time and you see it's essentially like walking in on two people. Meanwhile, Matt, he's like, no, no, he's not coming back. Not without the permission from the AAA.
01:02:38
Speaker
You can see that it's in that vicinity somewhere and then. Oh god it got knocked out. Okay okay I get the idea.
01:02:56
Speaker
And it starts to flicker for a second like an old TV tube. And then it starts to zoom in, and then it disappears. No! Wrong thing! Wrong thing! So is that something that only JJ can see, or is that something that everybody can see?
01:03:21
Speaker
Um, I think it's only JJ can see. Okay. So he's just standing there staring into like a hole. Staring into a flaming hole. Jesus. Um, so, um, but what do you, what do you, what do you say to, okay. I know where it's at and I don't want to talk about it.
01:03:48
Speaker
just scrapels on over and grabs him by the lapels. Tell me, tell me, tell me. He puts his hands on hers and he's like, and he closes his eyes because he doesn't want to look at her right now. And he sees images behind his eyelids, so. Okay, okay.
01:04:12
Speaker
uh it um it's it's back at the uh uh it's back at the house the house which house you know which house granny's house yeah it's at granny's i need a door well i mean there's a door here which we should really get out of because we're in the fae wild i'm i'm 90 sure
01:04:39
Speaker
Can you hear the faint sound of harpies screeching in the distance? Yeah, we really need to get out of here. Uh-huh. You could let go of me now. Yep, she's off. Leslie, your phone goes off again.
Darby's Offer of Help
01:05:01
Speaker
Oh boy, what's it say this time? It says,
01:05:06
Speaker
Hey babe, so Chelsea went crazy and snatched the time, the snail stone, huh? Pretty much. He responds back, not cool. Shrug emoji. Maybe if he didn't bang Chelsea's whole family, he wouldn't have this problem. He takes back and he says, did my spell work? Are you back at my house?
01:05:37
Speaker
Maybe. Don't tell Chelsea you did that. I think you don't tell Chelsea I did that. He texts you again and he goes, I'll be there in a minute. Just hang tight. This Carlton dude's giving me some real villain vibes. I don't respond to that one. He sends you a poop emoji.
01:06:06
Speaker
That's fine. Um, so what do y'all do? Uh, Maddie, you were saying that you don't, you want to talk to the AAA first. Oh, she's definitely going to need to put in a call. Do you want a call while they're, while they're discussing the fae world? Yeah, sure. So who are you calling that to AAA?
01:06:35
Speaker
Well, hold up, Maddie has, um, I don't know if this applies or not. Maddie has an ability that says when you deal with the agency requesting help or gear or making excuses for a failure, roll push short. Oh, yeah. I remember this move. Yes. I don't know if this is considered a failure or a call for help or not, so. I mean, it's probably more of a call for help. What'd you say?
01:07:03
Speaker
The world didn't end. That's not a failure. It's true. Um, but yeah, you can call for help. It doesn't have to be necessarily about a failure. You can call it, you know, for whether it's advice or for tools or, you know, whatever it is that you think would be helpful for the mission. Cause I just see this as reporting in and figuring out what the next step should be.
01:07:25
Speaker
I mean, it can't hurt to try it if you want to, just to kind of see what other information you can get out of it. It could hurt if I did it because it's at a minus one. Interesting, yeah. But it's okay. I can do it. I can do it. Yeah, sure.
01:07:47
Speaker
If you miss, you'll be under investigation from your employer. That's all. Sure. I will just call... Who am I calling in the agency? Who could help with this? You know what? There is a time traveling specific department who I would like to report the incident to.
01:08:09
Speaker
All right, who's like, is it either the director or like the personnel that picks up the phone usually in the time traveling department? It's like the manager, the manager of the time traveling department who deals with all time traveling business. Is it manager Marty? Is it Marty? Yeah, Marty McFly. Marty McFly?
01:08:34
Speaker
Marty McPhee Okay, so you you call them up you want to roll your roll your skill? Things aren't great you might get chewed up by your superiors, but and there'll be fallout But you get what you need for the job, so maybe there'll be a little A little just put off by your request, but they'll still honor it all right, so you call Marty McPhee Yeah
01:09:01
Speaker
What's up, Doc? I mean, Maddie? Hi, Marty. Hey. We have had an incident here, a time-traveling incident that I would like to report. Oh, God. All I want to do is play my guitar and sing. Would you like to put someone else on the line?
01:09:24
Speaker
Yeah, hang on. Mattie, what do you want? Hi, sir. Hey. It's me, Doc White. Hi, Doctor. You see, we have had a time-traveling incident that I would like to report. A time-traveling? Great Steve! What?
01:09:53
Speaker
Yes, so apparently, flipping through my notes, two members of this group that I am currently with got their hands on a time-traveling device and they attempted to go back in time to stop or change some event that happened and
01:10:21
Speaker
It seems they were almost successful, but they dropped the device at the last moment. They got younger and also it seems the device traveled back in time to their selected time. Matty, what did this device look like? Did Matty get a look at the device? Um, hmm. I mean you saw them wrestling
01:10:50
Speaker
trying to rest something out of each other's hands. I mean, you know it was green. Instead she was like, Leslie, what did the device look like? Like a device. Like a green rock. Like a green rock. A green rock. I'll need time to do some research about this. What do you need from us?
01:11:15
Speaker
I just need to know how to act upon this. Should I arrest the assailants and bring them in? Should I just let them go with a warning? Is there anything that you need me to do? Whether it's time travel or... Well, how stern was the warning? It was fairly stern. I had my gun at them. They were fighting. Oh, that's a level 5 stern warning and they still didn't... How were they affected?
01:11:46
Speaker
They de-aged. My God, you warned them so hard they de-aged, Maddie? Oh, no, no, no, no. That was the side effect of the stone going off without them holding it. Sorry. Oh, heavens to Betsy, I thought that you de-aged people.
01:12:05
Speaker
No, no, no. The person who had a blunt force weapon out did put away their weapon and stepped away. However, I don't believe the other person who was casting the magic is going to heed my warning.
01:12:23
Speaker
Maddy, the best thing that you can do is you must keep your eye on these assailants. They are potential time criminals, and we need someone on the ground with them at all times. The moment that you see this green rock device, you grab it and you bring it back here. Yes, Doctor. I will do that right away. And don't worry, I will not take my eyes off these two. They will be severe consequences for you if you do, Maddy. She kind of turns and gives both of them a stern look. One of them.
01:12:53
Speaker
Don't worry. Understood. Yes. Keep the sternness up, Maddie. No, no, she gives both of you a stern look. Oh, Kelsey's run off. Oh. You've run off? Yeah, I ran off as soon as she let go. I'm looking for a door. Okay, so you just stern her on the way through the door? I stern Leslie, who is still there. Okay. All right, Maddie, keep us posted. And by God, the future of everything could be in that stone.
01:13:24
Speaker
Understood. I will report back as soon as I have anything for you. Hey, Doc, the DeLorean's ready. I've gotta go. He hangs up. Yep. Alright.
01:13:39
Speaker
She turns to the group. We need to follow Chelsea. I need to keep my eyes on both of you. So, let's go after her and make sure she does not do anything foolish. Foolish, sorry. So, y'all are just going to tail Chelsea? Yeah. Okay. Yes, sir.
01:14:04
Speaker
As you guys run out or run from the fae world back into Darby's apartment, the door shuts behind you and you hear it locked. Chelsea, where did you go? Because the door wasn't shut before you when you were running. Where did you go?
01:14:23
Speaker
I ran for another door. I didn't think it would be wise to shut them in the Feywild, although I could have shut them in the Feywild. You very well could have. Boy, you and Carlton are turning into kind of villains almost. As soon as the door shuts, Maddie turns around with her gun pointed at it just to make sure. If you're still in there, I ain't happy. She doesn't shoot at it, but the noise definitely triggered a reaction.
01:14:51
Speaker
Yep. So you're running for another door. And yeah, I mean, there's doors everywhere. Yeah. Pull out my key from a cleavage. Okay. I'm trying to unlock.
01:15:05
Speaker
Okay. Um, when you go to put your key in the door, the key turns into like solid gold and then just like turns into dust and like sprinkles over to the right and is now in the hands of Darby who was standing there with like a real, like his, his sunglasses are off and he looks super pissed. Um, and he's like, uh, going somewhere, babe. Going home. Give me back my key.
01:15:32
Speaker
No, I mean I've been to that place several times. I mean like it's nice. Oh my god several times Yeah, man, your granny is I don't want to hear it Do at least want to know where she is? Can I convince you that if I tell you where granny is that you'll stop being foolish for a second? Define cuz I'll tell you where she's at and she's in this timeline right now, dude Like in this time period like just a few hundred miles away
01:16:01
Speaker
I could take you there, and then you'd be fine, and then you can talk to her or whatever. She's kind of nutso at this point. She's not really hot to me anymore. What? Why does everybody get so weirded out about people doing stuff with their relatives? I think it's hot. Wait, what? What? Yeah.
01:16:24
Speaker
When mommy Darby would be like, hey Darby, mommy got some. I'd be like, yeah, good job, mom. Oh, high five. I was a little confused by what you meant by that. Oh, oh, hey. Uh, and he kind of, he scanned your eyes for a second. His eyes turned blue as he looks at you, JJ. And he goes, Oh, well it's nice to meet you, JJ. Uh, you've got quite a story, don't you bro?
01:16:49
Speaker
Did you just scare me without my permission? I did it's it's a habit. I'm sorry Maddie has her gun up at him. Are you the owner of this establishment? Um Def define owner cuz like I don't own the poop house that is like I'm masquerading as the place if that's what you're asking No, I just meant the building that we are currently in I
01:17:14
Speaker
Oh yeah, this is totally my pad. It's kind of like Chelsea's whole deal. She loves our notepad. And what exactly are you? That's like really personal. And then his eyes turn blue for a second. And he goes, Oh, hey, sweet. I've heard of you guys. I've never gone there personally, because like, that place wigs me out.
01:17:38
Speaker
Listen, I just need to do some background checks, make sure that you are not a threat to the AAA. Just tell your superiors I'm a trickster. They'll love that. Trickster, uh-huh. Yeah. Do you have anything to do with time traveling or with apocalypses? He looks over at Leslie and he's like, should I be like,
01:18:05
Speaker
Should I ask for like a lawyer or something, babe? Because she's like really giving me the rundown here. I mean, you can do whatever you want. Oh, damn, I kind of liked it when you would like when you were more assertive shit. Anyway, why do you look like a teenager? Time travel shenanigans and I look 25. Thank you very much. Do you?
01:18:32
Speaker
I look like how I looked when I was 25. Oh, all right, cool. I mean, you just, you age well, I guess, babe. I mean, it's a compliment, really. Oh, thanks. Yeah, yeah, you look good. I just thought you were younger. All right, enough flirting. What is your association with these two? Banged her a granny and one of her aunts. Just one? Wanna bang her, don't know him.
01:19:03
Speaker
Although I'm pretty sure that he's her kid. Wait, what? Uh, what? What? And he's like, well, I, I have no idea about this. Wow. He's a trickster. He's obviously lying. Clearly. Oh, I mean, did I read something wrong there guy? Cool sweater, by the way. Thanks. It was a gift from my mom. Uh, man. I love texting that picture to people. It's like my sign or whatever.
01:19:32
Speaker
a bear claw. He looks like he gets a little close and goes, Oh, is that what that is? It's definitely a bear claw. Oh, I thought it was poo poo. I'm sorry about that. I mean, insult you. I'm sorry. You're insulting his sweater. I didn't know, dude. I thought that he. Right. Yeah, let's get back to that. That's like your kid, dude. Well, you don't know that.
01:20:00
Speaker
Just bear in mind, Chelsea now looks like, um, she's 23 years old. And how old does JJ look? Um, oh, he's probably 20. Looks like he's like maybe 21 to 25, like in that range. So they could be brother or sister's age. Yeah, yeah. Maddie's looking between the two of them and goes, Chelsea, how old are you?
Time Travel Skepticism and Identity
01:20:24
Speaker
28.
01:20:26
Speaker
Okay. And JJ, how old are you? I'm 23. 23. That would mean that either you had him at five years old, which I doubt, or, and she kind of turns an accusing look at JJ. You've been time traveling.
01:20:51
Speaker
Or the trickster is trying to trick you and distract you whenever we really should be looking for this stone. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't have it. They lost it. We will in a moment. If you give me my key back or, and she'll turn to JJ, you give me yours. Hang on, wait. Oh my god.
01:21:19
Speaker
Wait. Oh my, that's why you look a little familiar. JJ, you know your, I mean, I guess you already know this. Like you're aware you're not from around here, right? Yeah, I'm aware. Um, I just want to make sure that the time travel shenanigans didn't get to you too. Yeah, no, it, um. My superiors are not going to like this. Well, you know what? Maybe your superiors don't have the whole rule of law over time. Maybe time is a little more fluid than you think.
01:21:48
Speaker
Listen, if it triggers an apocalyptic event, they need to be able to trace it back. Saving Mal's life won't... Saving Mal won't trigger any kind of apocalyptic event. Are you positive about that? You don't know. Like, you know, maybe he saves the world from apocalyptic. You don't know. I do know. I'm from the future. But the future could have changed. If the future changed, then I wouldn't be here. Obviously, we succeed.
01:22:16
Speaker
That doesn't mean in your time right now that there isn't an apocalyptic event happening, which we could be preventing if we just have all of the information written so that we can track it back. Yeah, sometimes you don't need all the information. You just got to go with your gut. No, we need all of the information. We need to be able to track it. What if finding out the information? What if just knowing makes things different? You mean like knowing that he's your kid?
01:22:45
Speaker
Um, uh, if that was, if he really is, then I'm pregnant. I mean, that seems legit. I'm pregnant. No. No? No. No. To my knowledge, you and Mal got married before, you know, me. I was, I was planned. I wasn't an accident.
01:23:14
Speaker
And that could have changed. Well, no, this means we have to go back and save Mal in order for us to get married and have JJ. Exactly. Is that what this is about, bro? Are you coming back to try to make sure that you're born? I don't know about that. All I can say is that it is very vital that I be born because I have stopped apocalyptic events. Have you now?
01:23:40
Speaker
Do you want me to role manipulate someone? Sure. All right. Too bad you don't have Malcolm's move where you're just like, hey, you want some advice? You want a sweet, delicious carrot of an XP? Now, remember that, well, that's a fire. Remember how you roll. They can still choose if they want to believe you. Yeah, but if they do believe you, then they get XP.
01:24:04
Speaker
They get right. So on a miss, it's up to the hunters to decide how badly you offend or annoy them. They mark experience if they decide not to do what you asked. Oh, maybe. Well, you didn't really ask anything, did you?
01:24:16
Speaker
Yeah, but it's more of a- Do you believe that he stopped apocalyptic events and that he knows a lot about time travel and all that stuff? It's more like she's uncertain. That is information she is going to have to take up with the time traveling department.
01:24:36
Speaker
Yes, the time travel division because they do have time travelers who will go back in time and stop events from happening that cause apocalyptic events. So it's something that she would need to cross reference. So I would say for now, she does not believe them until she gets a word that says otherwise. So you get XP. Cool.
01:25:08
Speaker
I get XP because I failed. You get XP because you failed. Okay. What about Chelsea? What about Chelsea? Do you believe? Do you believe? Oh, well, you were manipulating both of us. I was manipulating all of you. Oh. That means that Leslie also needs to chime in if she, how she feels about
01:25:37
Speaker
I mean, how much Malcolm does he look? I'd say it looks like a pretty even mix. He looks like a younger Malcolm without a stash.
01:25:51
Speaker
I mean, she's going to believe them. Okay. Leslie, your phone goes off again. Like, can you guys see, like, all your talking, Darby's just standing there, like, texting on his phone? Yes. He thanks you. A message that says, you okay, babe? And it has a smiley face.
01:26:12
Speaker
Yes, question mark. Do you text it back or do you say it out loud? I text it back. It would be funny if you said that. He texts you back, he goes, what are you doing for dinner later? I don't know. I don't know when later is going to be yet. While they're still talking, he texts you again and he says, so we grab the stone, then grab some dinner?
01:26:42
Speaker
Uh, fine. And he says that a lot and he goes, yes. I'm sorry, did you say something? Huh? No, babe, sorry. I just think it was something cool I want to do later. Please don't call me babe, thank you. Sorry, babe. Sorry, dude. Sorry. Maddie. You can call me Agent Nelson.
01:27:04
Speaker
You seem really good at your job. I really like... Yeah, you're cool. I like you a lot. You're neat. Keep an eye on Darby. Also... You can look at me all you want, Nelson. Check about JJ's future. I think while this is going on, JJ's gonna try to slip away and use the key.
01:27:32
Speaker
Not so fast. You were just having a discussion with those two. Leslie could be reasonably semi-distracted because Darby's texting her, but Chelsea and Maddie are very much, especially Maddie, are very much keeping an eye on you. Maddie has one eye on her notebook, one eye on everyone else. She's a professional, but Chelsea also, I don't know, she just found out you're her kid.
01:28:00
Speaker
So it might be a little tough for you, but you can tell me how you're doing it. How does how does JJ try to slip out of this situation? I think he's go with like the like everybody seems focused on the conversation, so he's gonna.
01:28:13
Speaker
Cause I mean, we're at a door right now, so I think he's going to very like subtly like go for the key off his belt and just like stick it in the door to open it. Okay. Well, I can't imagine Chelsea would want to stop you from doing that. Also, and I can use it if you want have to, uh, read a bad situations on hold right now, apparently from last session. So I can use one to do, uh,
01:28:43
Speaker
uh you also have battlefield awareness which i know this isn't technically a battlefield but i feel like you know it's a very weird situation but yes i think you always know what's happening around you you can maybe spend to read a bad situation to kind of tie in with you know your your training i i think that's a reasonable story thing to to do all right so yeah i gotta say she sees where
01:29:07
Speaker
Yeah. So as you're like checking your notebook, um, maybe you glance up once in a while to check the scene, see if you are able to glance at a time before JJ can slam that keyhole.
Alternate Universe Dangers
01:29:20
Speaker
Act under pressure to see like how well that goes. Um, yeah. Yes. I think we can do that just to reasonably see how much reaction time Maddie may get depending on what questions she has.
01:29:37
Speaker
No, you should still roll it. You should still roll it. So that's a seven. You as well. Yeah, you can do... No, you have to roll. I mean, ask your question. Sorry. I was kind of...
01:29:49
Speaker
Are there any dangers that we haven't noticed as in... She figures they're all kind of a danger to the apocalypse right now, so like him going off on his own and opening the door, I figured... I would say...
01:30:11
Speaker
Probably the best answer I can give you as far as dangers that can maybe tie into what's happening is you know that there was just a door that you all open that went into another universe. So you as a trained professional could probably at least make a safe assumption even though you don't know the door that JJ is going to does that it could.
01:30:30
Speaker
Because you've already seen one. So maybe you kind of see that and maybe just for his own protection, maybe you think to, you know, that's the only thing story wise, I think I can make sense is that you've just seen a door that can go into another universe. So being part of the AAA, that's something that you probably know kind of about. Yes.
01:30:50
Speaker
But plus also acting a pressure for a seven a mixed success for JJ My seven and nine the keeper is gonna give you a worse outcome a hard choice our price to pay I mean It's not really a worse outcome. I mean you're going towards the door I don't think anybody aside from Darby would try to rough you up at all about it except for maybe Maddie I Mean The hard choice is gonna be I think
01:31:20
Speaker
I think that if you do this, if you manage to open the door and get the key in, I think that the price to pay is going to be that not only is Maddie going to notice it, you'll get the key in the keyhole and be able to open the door, but also Darby's going to notice it because he's here to stop whatever it is that you guys were doing. But you'll have made it to the door in time to at least open it to where you want it to go.
01:31:45
Speaker
Although I think you still have to cast magic on that, don't you, to make that work? Isn't that how it works? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. But you know what? Then I take it back. I forgot that you had to cast a spell on that. So I'm going to say that Maddie will first get a chance to interfere with what you're doing while you cast a spell. So it'll be a little harder to cast it. But you can get the keyhole in the door before anybody sees you do it. OK. Yeah, then I will cast magic and then maybe take a minus to it.
01:32:14
Speaker
Uh, why don't we, you know what, why don't we have Maddie roll for act under pressure to try to interfere with what you're doing. Um, and then depending on how she rolls, that'll help me kind of figure out what your, Oh shit. Well, that's a 10. Um, so she's like right away. She's like, Oh shit. Um, so, uh, yeah, let's call it a minus two because she rolled a 10.
01:32:40
Speaker
I was going to say minus one if she got a seven and nine, minus two if she gets a 10. Use magic with knowing that Maddie's like, oh shit, and she's bolting to interfere with what you're doing, and you're aware of it. Okay. I'm going to just go ahead and roll it straight, and then you can tell me.
01:33:01
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. That way we don't kind of fudge. That's a 12 minus two. That's still a 10. So even though, even though Maddie's like kind of tailing after you, um, you're able to get the keyhole in or the key in the keyhole and you're casting your spell, uh, and the door lights up and as you open it, you can see into granny's house.
01:33:21
Speaker
with Maddie sharp on your heels. Actually, you two are the closest to the doorway right now. Maddie just bolts past Chelsea while Darby's texting Leslie. Chelsea sees it and goes? Yeah. Leslie, what are you doing? Two of your friends just bolted while Darby's texting you.
01:33:49
Speaker
Yeah, I would assume I would notice that.
Phone and Timeline Communication
01:33:51
Speaker
Probably because I don't think Maddie's making it like a silent thing. She was like, freeze, not without me. All right, then I will start running after as well because I don't want to get stuck here by myself. Was Barbie happy?
01:34:10
Speaker
Okay, so you you go into You go into your home and as the as you guys all pile in Darby follows behind No, and You're gonna try to you can try to fight the leprechaun if you want
01:34:35
Speaker
Hold up my rolling pin. Wave it around. No. As you do that, he's like, oh man, your granny loved using the rolling pin. And in your moment of startledness, he just steps in. He's like, oh, can I use this? Do you mind if I take one? No, no, no, no. I think I left something here.
01:35:06
Speaker
Hey, look, so is this like where the stones at or whatever? Can JJ do something? We want to do. I want to grab Darby and I want to angel wings away.
01:35:22
Speaker
Okay. Andrew wings to where now that you're inside of. I want to go back to the hotel. Can you do that while at a pocket dimension is the question? Because I don't know if Rosie slash Carlton was able to do that, but I never want to say no, but it's going to be really, really hard.
01:35:46
Speaker
Uh, because you're trying to teleport a godly being away from this place in an alternate dimension. You know, let's make it a magic struggle, um, to see if you can even do, cause you have to roll weird anyway to do it. Um, so let's make it a magic roll to see if you can just do it quickly enough. It's almost like a magical reaction that you're doing to surprise him. Okay. Um, so let's just see what you get in just a straight roll. Okay. Straight weird roll.
01:36:17
Speaker
Oh, that's a five. It's not great. He gets the wrong idea and thinks you're coming on to him.
01:36:24
Speaker
I think he knows. I mean, he's read all y'all's brains. So he has a good idea of the kind of shit that you do and have done. So I think when you try to grab him to do that, I think that when you grab him, he turns, he looks like Malcolm. And he just gives you a big hug. And he says, is this what you want, little guy?
01:36:51
Speaker
Yeah, JJ's gonna stop with his eyes like widening I think that's Yeah Wow Yeah, he looks over he looks over at Chelsea and he says is this what you want? No, no, you've done this once before I'm not gonna fall for it again I
01:37:13
Speaker
I'm not trying to trick you, babe. I'm just letting you know. And then he kind of morphs back into himself while he's hugging JJ. And he says, hey, let's be reasonable here for a second. Are we even in the right timeline of the stone inside of this place? Because aren't you trying to time travel back to a time where it was when y'all were doing whatever it is in here and where? I mean, something's here, right?
01:37:42
Speaker
But is it the right version? I do need to confiscate the stone when we get ahold of it. Oh, babe, sorry. No, no, no, no, no. We're going to destroy the stone because it's a danger to everything that exists. Hmm. I'm on your side here, babe, just like let me do this.
01:38:01
Speaker
Is, uh, Chelsea will be looking around.
Handling the Green Stone
01:38:04
Speaker
Um, is, does it look like Granny's house? Uh, as you, as you come back in, it looks like Granny's house, but again, none of the stone columns are here.
01:38:14
Speaker
Gingerbread golems, because they got the gingerbread golems they got eaten by someone. Yeah, someone who I have no idea. And he says, so like, where do we start looking at? Like, is this the right version of your granny's house? I mean, it feels like the one it feels like it, but I don't think is the one that I usually come to.
01:38:36
Speaker
Maddie is going to try and call the AAA back up and realizing that her phone doesn't work in here. She's gonna go, does anyone have a phone that works in here? Phones don't work here. Leslie has a phone that works here.
01:38:54
Speaker
She is the only phone that works in the multiverse. Chelsea's not going to tell her that. I don't feel like offering it. Somebody's going to go, Darby, I understand that you want to destroy it, but I do need to check in with my superiors to make sure that that won't cause any sort of cataclysmic event. So if we could just bring it to the office for them to check and give us the go ahead,
01:39:23
Speaker
then we can destroy it. All right, like what's their number? I'll dial it and I'll give them a ring. Uh, two, three, two. Uh-huh. Zero, five, eight. Uh-huh. Six, one, two, four. Yep, sorry any listeners if that's a real phone number. I know, I'm really sorry. I'm in the top of my head. I can't really hear the music.
01:39:52
Speaker
I will survive! All right, it's ringing. Here you go, babe. I mean, it's unlimited, but I just don't like not having my phone for a long time, you know? Yeah, no problem. All right, cool. Here you go. All right. That's how I hold it up. Are you calling the time division again? Yes. Yes. OK. Hello, who's this? It's Agent Nelson again.
01:40:20
Speaker
Yes, Agent Nelson. I believe that Dr. White and McPhee told me that you might be given a small correspondence about some green stone. Yes. Do I know who I'm speaking to? Yeah, it's Dr. Y.
01:40:39
Speaker
Dr. Y, okay. Yes, Dr. Y, I need to ask, did Dr. White tell you about the green stone that can be used for time traveling? Yes, I believe I'm up to speed on said things. What seems to be the problem? We want to know, if we find it, can we destroy it?
01:41:09
Speaker
I mean, could you bring at least a bit of it back for us to play with? Um, one second. Darby, can we at least bring a little piece of it back? I mean, like, if you want, like, some of the dust that's left behind, sure. Then what's it gonna do, send you back in time, like five minutes? Whatever. Will dust be okay?
Search for the Green Stone
01:41:31
Speaker
Rock dust? How much dust are we talking? That sounds like, oh, we could replicate other stones from that dust.
01:41:40
Speaker
How much dust are we allowed to grab, Darby? Oh my god, babe, I don't care. I just don't want it to be solid enough for people to hold and wield for, like, eternity. Yeah, I think we should be able to bring back enough dust. Uh, not as sure exactly the size of the dust. I'd say roughly about palm size, maybe a little smaller. So, we can get about that much dust from it. Uh, yes, that is fine. Um, by the way, um,
01:42:10
Speaker
What number is this? This isn't a regulated phone line that agents should be calling from. Uh, yes. I'm currently in a pocket dimension in which my phone does not work. You hear like a bunch of scribbles. Ah, interesting. All right. Well, make sure to have it on your full report when you come back. Will do. All right. All right. Chelsea, what is your surname?
01:42:41
Speaker
I believe they are sneaking off away from this conversation. Chelsea? Chelsea, where'd you go? Boy, I really got to start paying attention to what your friends are doing. Seriously, so do I. I should not have gotten interrupted on the phone or distracted on the phone. I should have kept my eyes on them.
01:43:02
Speaker
Yeah, let's talk more about that later. And I'm guessing that JJ and then Maddie are not Maddie. I said all the names of what I want to say. Chelsea, you're going to look for the stone. Yeah. Okay, so y'all slip away going where I'm assuming towards the bedroom where you saw in the dream or in the in the vision.
01:43:22
Speaker
Yeah. So while they were on the phone, doing their thing, you guys escape in there. And yeah, you find an empty bedroom in there. I mean, there's furniture and all that stuff in there, but no one's in there. But you see the same layout, but just no sign of people. What do you do?
01:43:48
Speaker
You're going to look for a stone. You're going to look for a stone? Jay Jay's going to advise her to look under the bed. Okay, she'll look under the bed. There's probably some gingerbread crumbs under there. Is there something under there that Jay Jay put under there? No, I think that's where he saw it fall in the vision.
01:44:13
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Chelsea, you look under the bed and you just see whatever... I mean, this is your room, right? Not Granny's room? Yeah. Yeah, you see just like whatever you think Chelsea would ordinarily have under her bed, if anything. Some storage boxes. But you don't see any green... Yeah, some storage boxes, some other supplies, whatever, have you? Romance notebooks. Maybe some... Of course, of course, that Mr. Ray will read for Patreon.
01:44:45
Speaker
Yeah, but no hide or hair of a stone that glows green that looks like the one that you were clutching so tightly not long ago. She starts shoving the storage boxes out from under the bed across the room and followed by paperback, romance novels, dust bunnies everywhere. It's not here. What? I saw it here. It should be where it went.
01:45:13
Speaker
It's not here. What's not here? We're looking for a stone. I'm stuck under the bed. I was hiding from the guy who ate all my friends. Okay. She'll dive back under and pull out the leftover gingerbread golem.
01:45:36
Speaker
Yeah, you see he's like partially eaten like he has like one of his legs busted off. One of his arms are kind of crumbled. He's like, oh, thank God. Oh, God, it's him. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Do you know the muffin man? The muffin man? The muffin man.
01:45:59
Speaker
Hey, so we need your help. There was a stone under the bed. Do you know what happened to it? It was green. No, there was, there was no stone here. Nobody's been in here since I've been in here from the Muffin Man. Uh, I know it was in here. Is that a muffin on your shirt? It's, it's a cinnamon roll, I think, or a bear claw. Oh, you said it was a bear claw. It looks, well, it kind of looks like a chocolate, a clear to me.
01:46:29
Speaker
I mean, whenever you gave it to me, like I asked what it, well, I didn't want to ask what it was because I felt like it would be rude. So, um, but I've never really known. I know it's some pastry. We're getting off topic. I don't knit. Right. You don't knit now. Okay. So, um, I want to try to investigate a mystery. Okay. Go for it. Roll that beautiful beam footage.
01:47:00
Speaker
with some, that's a tenor. That's two. Uh, I want to know what happened here. Um, you, not that. Um, well, actually in, in, well, I guess maybe it might've happened in this one too. Um, I only had six in one bedroom.
01:47:23
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I was thinking more about Darby as well. Boy, that guy gets around. As you're glancing on the room, you get a little bit of a magical aura.
Timeline Realization and Conspiracy
01:47:42
Speaker
around here. And this is a version of Granny's Place from what you remember as Granny's Place when you were growing up. But you, as you're looking around and you're realizing it, this looks like what you saw in your vision, but isn't the same literal room that something is off here.
01:48:11
Speaker
We need the key that Darby took. Right, this is the key that took you to what you know as the hideout, not what Chelsea knew as the hideout with her key. Yeah. Geez. So we need to leave and come back in? Yeah. Or I mean, if we got your key, we could just open up a door in here and get to the other
01:48:35
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That'll cause an implosion. Well, you know. You'll never open up a door inside of the door. There's only an 80% chance of that happening. Granny said no. Granny says a lot of things, but all right. Granny also does a lot of things I don't want to know about. She's not the only one.
01:49:03
Speaker
It does a lot of things that I don't want to know about. A lot of things I don't want to know about. Your mother doesn't want to know about these things. You have no idea of what I've seen to define this stone, okay? I've paid the iron price. People in this time like Game of Thrones, right? I don't really watch television. Oh. There's no TV here.
01:49:32
Speaker
Yeah, I noticed that now. That makes sense. So did you want to ask your other question? Yeah, I don't know if it would help at all. But yeah, where did it go? Well, I mean, just to confirm what you already know, your key took you to the wrong version of the hideout where the stone would be. So you were in the wrong time to get it. Wrong timeline.
01:50:02
Speaker
So Maddie just time jumped. Maddie did tech, technically yes. So what did Maddie contact the right AAA or the wrong AAA? She now getting herself into trouble. It was a different doctor or it was a different, yeah, it was a different doctor.
01:50:20
Speaker
You mentioned the same doctors though. She used Darby's phone to call what she knew as the AAA. And he and Leslie both have phones that can communicate to any time and place and multiverse. So she called home from a different timeline. Got it. She did. She called home from a different timeline is what she did.
01:50:45
Speaker
Which leslie just for your own information you have like one of the most powerful things in my universe now so like so if ever if it's weather for web searching if you wanna call somebody like from twenty years ago i get phone can do a lot of stuff.
01:51:00
Speaker
I mean, she has absolutely been using it in what tiny free moments she's had to try to find answers to some of her longest conspiracy questions. Yeah, you're finding a lot of stuff. Yeah, what happened to Amelia Earhart? How many people made a fake Sasquatch? She could prank Cole Hitler.
01:51:29
Speaker
So yeah, you have one of the most powerful things in the universe right now. And then there's Darby. And then there's Darby. You also technically have him.
01:51:40
Speaker
That's true. You also have Darby. Leslie's wielding a lot of power right now between the thing creature that has a crush on her and the thing that has a crush on her gave her. And because she's Leslie, she's just like... Yeah, that's cool. I can use this. And it only cost him one dinner day.
01:52:03
Speaker
He gave it to her I mean he's given it all to her for free he's trying to court the shit out of this girl She did do that. Yeah, that's true. She did say that if he helped her get it So what while they're doing that talk what is what has Leslie been doing because with Maddie making a phone call on Darby's phone And those two escaping into the bedroom looking for the stone. What would Leslie have been doing? so my mental theory is that
01:52:34
Speaker
the spice cookies of mountain strength, whatever they were called, provide power but not sustenance. So I think she's like poking around to find a snack. They've been through a lot lately and they have not like had lunch. That is true. You've had a long work day without any food. Sure. Why don't you
01:52:59
Speaker
Why don't you roll an investigative mystery or just a sharp roll? Let's see what you find. Just so we can give you a roll.
01:53:08
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I know that Ollie was eating a lot of snacks when she was there. That's an 11. Woof. You find all the things that you could possibly want. This version, even though it's lacking gingerbread golem, it's not lacking food. There's a lot of organic deliciousness in the fridge and cupboards. What would Leslie be looking for to grab? Honestly, just something with some protein and carbs.
01:53:33
Speaker
What would Granny have in the house, Chelsea, that would have some good protein and carbs? All the good cooking foods. Baking. All the good cooking foods. Eggs, maybe rolls. Granny can make everything. There's quiche in there?
01:53:50
Speaker
There's a quiche in there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm grabbing a big ole slash quiche. All right. So you're quiche-ing it up while they're investigating a potential time collapse. That's on brand, I think. So Maddie, coming back to you real quick, Leslie's escaped into the kitchen looking for food. The other two have escaped in there. You're with Darby. You just realized that they walked away from you. What would Maddie be doing?
01:54:19
Speaker
She would ask Daria. Do you know where they went where they could have gone? Who babe? JJ and Chelsea. Oh, yeah, man. They just want right like right over there in the in the room Chelsea's bedroom. I have some fond memories in there, babe. Oh Yeah, that's the room that's the one I
01:54:46
Speaker
Yeah, see, she looks like she's about to question and then decides not and goes into the room. Okay. Can you see them kind of having a conversation, maybe walking in on the tail end of like, Oh, we need the other key or whatever. Maybe just hear the word key after you walk towards the door. Um, so that's where y'all are at. What do you, what do you do? Did you find anything just half of a golem? Hello.
01:55:16
Speaker
Are you the golem? Yeah. You're adorable. Thank you. So are you. I'm glad you like me even though that monster ate half of me. I mean, they are pretty tasty. Oh, you. How dare you? JJ. Yes. You shouldn't eat people. And she puts her hand down on the ground to pick up the gingerbread man.
01:55:45
Speaker
I mean, are they? Nevermind, I'm not gonna ask that question. I'm Ginger Brandon, how are you? I'm Maddie, I'm good. I'm trying to stop an apocalypse. Oh, I'm trying to not die. I'll help you buddy. Neat, take me away from here Maddie. Where do you think would be safest? Anywhere away from that monster. They don't even have a soul, they're gingers.
01:56:16
Speaker
Oh, that is a stereotype. That is not true. We have feelings and thoughts. Apologize. I would cry if I had tears. Tell them, Chelsea. Tell them we have souls.
Gingerbread Golem Soul Debate
01:56:33
Speaker
Technically, they have really teeny tiny ones. Yeah, that's what makes them tasty. JJ, apologize. That means you ate a bunch of souls. That makes you a ginger.
01:56:49
Speaker
Take me, please, Brian. Listen to your mother. Okay, this is... I'm sorry, little tasty morsel. There, are you happy? Promise to never eat him or any of his kind again? I promise not to eat him.
01:57:09
Speaker
Any of his kind again? I know either of his kind because it seems like he's the last one left until we made some more. JJ puts his hands behind his back and he says, I promise never to eat him or his kind ever again. There we go. Was that so hard? Totally crossing his fingers.
01:57:32
Speaker
So then you as you guys are as you guys are chatting you guys see kind of similar to the spell that you cast before now JJ about your to look into where the stone is.
01:57:50
Speaker
And you see another spell like that kind of opens up on the wall that all of you guys can see it's almost like a big screen TV just like showed up there and You see Malcolm and Chelsea in bed, but they're just laying there lifeless
01:58:09
Speaker
um and you see you see like a white suit walk-in frame uh and kind of stand with its back turn towards you where the camera would be and you just hear well there went
01:59:33
Speaker
still look good already.
