Game Narrative Begins: Ominous Events
00:02:10
Speaker
um The camera fades in on a dimly lit scene a group of figures huddle in shadows discussing events of the past month He's gone too far this time. I agree It was one thing to order the new bloods, but this other this accident it does not feel right Let's not forget the moon is still red and the beast is worse than ever Maybe it's a time to look into alternatives Who could even stand up to him?
00:02:39
Speaker
Well, I think we all know who. Shadows begin to creep around the edges of the room, and another figure steps through the door. The rest fall silent. And what do we have here? The figure asks. I hope you are not up to... it I hope you're not up to no good. Don't forget, the prince hates it when his children misbehave. I'd hate to have to punish you on his behalf. And the scene fades to black as shadows swirl around the room. And we see the Houston City skyline. Tonight is Sunday, February 1st, 2020.

Technical Issues & Game Mechanics
00:04:13
Speaker
if you remember how.
00:04:18
Speaker
Can you walk me through that? So down at the bottom of your character sheets, you just hit the rouse button. It's at the bottom on the left. This is to see if you get hungrier. Unfortunately, you are already pretty hungry because I rolled randomly for your current hunger after two weeks. But you don't grow any other. Don't get any more hungry.
00:04:43
Speaker
So Frank, same thing, rouse check to see if you get any hungrier when you wake up.
00:04:54
Speaker
if If Frank still exists. so He's not in the game yet. Oh, that's right, because your computer knocked you out. yeah fifty fifth
00:05:14
Speaker
It's not one to load. Sorry. One second. Why is ah the sheriff nickname Whip?
00:05:23
Speaker
Working progress. ah There it goes. Now it's launching. Sorry. Took me a minute. Do I have the sheriff working progress? I guess I was working on her. I guess I never finished that.
Cole's Nightmares & Paranoia
00:05:40
Speaker
Oh, I haven't done anything for her sheets.
00:05:43
Speaker
Yeah, I never finished the character. I'm in now.
00:05:49
Speaker
Uh, yeah. So rouse check. It's at the bottom left of your sheets. I'm looking at my seat. Hold on. My sheet, my eight player characters. There it is. What's my name? Coldstone. That's right. I played this game for him.
00:06:12
Speaker
a roused chick
00:06:17
Speaker
Okay, neither of you get hungrier. That's good, especially for Max, because you're already fairly hungry. ah so we will probably let's see we'll start with with max um so your you know you've been staying in jerry's place uh and uh you've been in and out a lot because you recently met your um your we can call him grand sire the sire of tiv um whose name was uh mckayle and he has been kind of teaching you uh what it is to
00:06:59
Speaker
Be one
Mentorship & Trials for Max
00:07:00
Speaker
of the Banu Hakim and kind of showing you the ropes while also ah trying to get you ready for the upcoming trial of your Sire, Tiv.
00:07:15
Speaker
um
00:07:17
Speaker
And so that's kind of what you've been up to tonight when you wake up. You do know that later tonight you are supposed to finally get to go speak with with Tiv. um So that that's not happening right away, but um you'll you'll have some time, especially if you want to go try to hunt.
00:07:34
Speaker
you would have to do that by yourself. So far, most of your hunts have been either with Tiv or with Mikhail. So you would be hunting by yourself unless you can get one of your your members of your, to use the vampire term, coterie, or party. But um you do know that Cole is not usually the hunting type, and really neither is Jerry. He's been feeding on his patience recently.
00:08:04
Speaker
um One thing you do notice when you ah move aside your the the the the ceiling tile and drop down from the ceiling where you've been sleeping, Jerry is not home. um It seems he must have i awakened before you and has already left, or at least he's not upstairs with you. um You don't remember him telling you that he was going to go anywhere today, but it's not like you're his keeper.
00:08:33
Speaker
he's his own man but you are in the apartment by yourself right now um and you're pretty hungry ah what what's what are you gonna do you've got a couple hours before Michael was supposed to come come get you I grab my phone see if there's any text messages that I have
Navigating Vampire Life & Friendships
00:08:57
Speaker
ah
00:09:00
Speaker
It would be your burner phone. So no, no, no, no text messages because your original, your old cell phone was destroyed. wow Yeah. No text messages. No word from Jerry. Uh, McHale doesn't usually text. He usually just kind of shows up as one of the older vampires. He tends to shun.
00:09:22
Speaker
he unlike coles clan um he can use technology just fine they just you know they don't get it's their old they' offset in their way
00:09:33
Speaker
um I guess the the two things I do is I text Olivia to ask how she's doing. Okay. And and then I follow that up with another text to Lauren um asking if she's if I can work something out if she would be comfortable with doing a info exchange and a Black, for better words, a study group with Imogen and my grandfather, or Mikael. Imogen and your grandfather. um Oh, so a magic study? Yeah. Okay. um Olivia, ah she um she just sends you a link to her Twitter.
00:10:26
Speaker
ah no She sends you a link to her her most recent TikTok video, which shows her at like a club or something, dancing um you know at the club. so she She does appear to be doing fine. um yeah yeah she ah she and She's really living up that teenager life.
00:10:46
Speaker
Oh yeah, um she does appear to be... stuck in it How old is she? Or how old does she appear? did i I thought she appeared to be like 16 or something. Yeah, she appears to be possibly a teenager, maybe very early 20s.
00:10:59
Speaker
um Yeah, so she does appear to be young. She's definitely living up up the TikTok or the influencer lifestyle. um Yeah, and you've probably, you know, somewhat kept tabs. It's not hard to keep tabs on her. She's very public.
00:11:15
Speaker
um
00:11:18
Speaker
Yeah, so she's she's definitely been doing fine. um Lauren will take a little bit to respond. you You see that, well, I guess on the burner phone, you wouldn't see that it's been red.
00:11:29
Speaker
um So it probably will take a few minutes to for her to respond. While we wait on that, Cole, your character is slumbering, I guess you could say. um And just before you slumber, the same thing that happens has been happening every night for the past couple of weeks starts to happen.
00:11:53
Speaker
good
00:11:56
Speaker
that what aspect dead <unk> the so sos
00:12:09
Speaker
And then the sounds fade and you wake.
00:12:18
Speaker
Did y'all hear the sounds? I didn't hear anything. You didn't? It's a bunch of whispering.
00:12:27
Speaker
ah Well, creepy whispers happen. um They sounded pretty cool. I don't know why you didn't hear them, if Hayden heard them. Hold on. Oh, it's my bad. I had the blind turn down. Well, here, I'll let you hear them. Okay.
00:12:46
Speaker
allqui the sorry sos saw here
00:12:53
Speaker
And as they fade, that's when your eyes open.
00:12:57
Speaker
this This night you don't see any creepy shadows or anything like that. um and This has been happening every night? Yeah, it's been happening on a pretty regular basis, yeah. Okay.
00:13:16
Speaker
Or every morning, right? Yeah, well, no, it's it's every night, you know. um Right before you wake up, because you wake up at night.
00:13:27
Speaker
Also true. ah Yeah, your eye your eyes snap open. um the you know the The shadows ah don't bother you tonight, though. You've been definitely been seeing things. It's it's really been disturbing. ah While you don't technically sleep as mortals do, it definitely hasn't been restful for you.
00:13:53
Speaker
um more because of just the mental mentally of like, what the heck is going on, things like that. um You do hear coming from i downstairs, and I guess we can remind people that you're no longer in um either your crappy old apartment or um the office of your sire, you are in a really nice townhouse in downtown Houston. I think I created the address somewhere, but it's it's ah definitely something that probably costs like in the range of like three to $5,000 a month to rent, but she's paying for it. So, you know, you've got, it's it's like a three-story townhouse. You know, you are, wherever you want your room to be is where it is, you know,
00:14:48
Speaker
um your Your bedroom is completely sunproof. It has shutters that come down and and lock into place. Though you are welcome to open your windows now that it's night. um and And look out the windows if you want. i they They are openable. Jayden says, I do that. Hold on, hold on, wait. He's not too late.
00:15:16
Speaker
Pause.
00:15:19
Speaker
Alright, I'll go back to site. I gotta use your shield. Okay. Oh! Oh, my happy ass! I was rich! Has Jaden been in a Zincaster recording yet? I don't know.
00:15:45
Speaker
I can't remember if he was here last time.
00:15:56
Speaker
but
00:16:14
Speaker
Well this is somewhat perfect timing because Kelsey is going to want my food order soon. Welcome back. Jaden is not here yet.
00:16:29
Speaker
Test one. My waveform seems very small. Well you sound plenty. You sound good. yeah yeah Weird.
00:16:40
Speaker
Yeah, you open the window ah and you know look out onto the busy streets of downtown Houston. How does your character feel about living in this this part of town? um It's a place where he never thought he would see himself anytime in his past life. um So it
Paranoia & Power Dynamics
00:17:01
Speaker
definitely feels weird. and um He feels like he's out of his depth. um And with the creepy whispers, he feels very paranoid. so Like, he at one point has ripped his room apart just looking for speakers and injectors. And he doesn't allow anybody to clean up the mess, so... So your room is still a mess? Yes. Like, the mattress is ripped and ripped up. Maybe not in half, but like it's ripped up and the stuffing was torn out and pillow like fibers and bits are laying everywhere. the
00:17:38
Speaker
random knickknacks that were on the shelves were all smashed. um The only thing he never, he doesn't break apart is his computer. Okay. um yeah He doesn't like open the window. He like, like does the whole, hold it in place while peeking through the blinds type of thing. Okay, yeah. um There is a person who you have run into from time to time. um Your cleaning lady, does she allow it into your room?
00:18:09
Speaker
Um, like a couple steps into the room. That's it. Okay. Yeah. As you're peeking out the window, you hear the sound of your door opening. Um, this is, uh, a familiar sound to you. Um, the door opens and Dina steps in. Um,
00:18:26
Speaker
Dina is, ah if this were a TV show with actual visual stuff, our audience might recognize Dina as the woman from season one, the first time Cole ever fed, and the only time Cole is ever fed directly from a person.
00:18:46
Speaker
um This is her. ah She was the bridesmaid that Cole mind-controlled to come sit over with him so that he could drink her blood. um And also the person who basically he decided he didn't like drinking blood straight from the source. She steps into the room.
00:19:04
Speaker
ah and sets down a a bottle full of red liquid and a glass, an empty wine glass, on the like stand next to the door, and then um kind of waits there for a moment to see if you're gonna say anything to her. So, does she know I'm a vampire? ah Or does she think I'm just like so eccentric?
00:19:33
Speaker
She does not know anything about vampires or the supernatural. However, um she does know that some creepy stuff has been happening up here. ah We could perhaps um flash back, if you'd like, to a moment when she may have walked into while something in on you while something strange was happening. You can decide what that strange would be. Maybe it was just you tearing up the room. I imagine something else. Hey, he's here.
00:20:03
Speaker
Hey, I've only got one left. I can't do that very often anymore. Yeah. um Yes, welcome everybody. Jaden has joined us, as I said. I have summoned. You have been summoned. But before we start over from the beginning, welcome everyone. another episode of Yeah. Now, before before we flashback, though, Jayden, once you pop into the game, the first thing you'll need to do is roll on the bottom left of your character sheet, roll your rouse check to see if you get hungrier.
00:20:37
Speaker
But for now, we can we can flashback to a moment, um perhaps a week ago, when... What am I hearing?
00:20:51
Speaker
We can go music That was a week ago music. Okay. I didn't do it, but it just happened in the moment. It's kind of peaceful. Yeah ah So we flash back to a week ago and um We we see ah Dina the cleaning lady um Let me let y'all have a look at her character. She real quick. Just so you know who we're dealing with um
00:21:22
Speaker
She was hired by ah Carmen, what was Carmen's last name?
00:21:30
Speaker
Carmen, player sires, Carmen Espinosa. She was hired by the Espinosa Corporation um to ah basically kind of clean this apartment during the day. During the day, she is not allowed into the ah the master bedroom. um But she does know that Cole, someone one who she's she'd never met before, as far as she knows, she does know that Cole um does seem to work at night and sleep during the day and does not want to be disturbed during the day.
00:22:06
Speaker
um She knows he's kind of eccentric, ah but um thats that's really all she knows about him. And there have been some creepy things, like ah or some some weird things. like She'll occasionally hear strange noises from upstairs, um but every time she's knocked on the door, she's not really seeing anything strange other than Cole himself.
00:22:37
Speaker
Who wants to play Dina? Who wants to be the girl? i I'm feeling... I'm feeling it a little bit. I don't know. You're feeling it? Okay. You're feeling yourself a little? No, I'm not. I'm sick though, so this is gonna be interesting. and She might sound like... um That's fine. Just remember, she was the bridesmaid. um You know, whatever that... yeah Okay, I gave you access to her, like, full character sheets.
00:23:04
Speaker
uh... you might have to close it and open it i mean she's nothing special uh... what everyone special but now she's a few what's your name dina gani dina gatsby um So you're you're cleaning you know you're cleaning the house and you know once kind of after like 7pm or so you're allowed to go into his room and um and clean in there. ah Cole, does she like hear or see anything before, well I guess hear anything before she goes in? so So just to be clear, you're not actually allowed to clean my room at all.
00:23:41
Speaker
um And you do deliver the tray with um the bottle of blood and the empty wine glass every night. That was on direct orders from Carmen. So um let's do a little flashbackiness. Was she here before I was here?
00:24:01
Speaker
She, yes, she was here um when when you first moved in. So like she, I guess, technically kind of cleaned up the place before you got there. um And so her first experience with me, I probably would have came in at like three to five a.m. somewhere around there. Yeah. um So your first experience would probably be the next day. Yeah, um yeah. what Would I have known that there's gonna be a cleaning lady? No.
00:24:30
Speaker
Okay, um so do you want to do your your first meeting? Yeah, first meeting will probably be the best. Yeah, okay, so you know yeah you just know that the tenant who's living here has moved in, um and oh, I guess your shift begins at 10 p.m. Well, we can ignore that. You're here early today.
00:24:49
Speaker
half
00:24:52
Speaker
so So, yeah. So am I at the front door, or am I already cleaning? I would say you're inside and already cleaning, probably. Well, how would you introduce yourself? like
00:25:06
Speaker
Like, think about that. like if you were if If you knew that a new tenant had moved in, you hadn't met them yet. um You've been cleaning this place occasionally up till now, but now as a new tenant, would you just go inside and start cleaning, or would you like try to notify them somehow?
00:25:25
Speaker
you do have it i'd like anybody out are you at the front door or are you do like at the bedroom door i don't know i i'm cleaning i'm just walking around while i'm cleaning And you're just yelling housekeeping while you're cleaning? Yeah. yeah That's like pest control. You don't want to walk into anything. Exactly. You're like, hello, do your I'm spraying. Hello. I'm kind of yelling. It's nice. So you had a key. You just walked inside, started cleaning, and started yelling housekeeping at like 7 o'clock. So sun just went down. All right, cool. Hello.
00:26:10
Speaker
shut um you You hear what sounds like shattering from lock upstairs. Sorry. so shit you're gagging bro it's part of the character okay i'm really i'm i'm in the character bro you're feeling this bro i'm just kidding i don't know what's happening all right um just just be clear you're supposed to be an attractive and alluring 36 year old maid
00:26:42
Speaker
Yeah, she's attractive. Her voice is like shot. She's smoking 26 packs a day. You don't know about that, you know? Like, she's got dentures in. Oh, God. Like, she knows. How much does she do? Too much. So, the club we went to, the club we went to must have been over here in Maytown. Or, no, up in Maytown. Get her arms, bro. Her arms got spots on them. It must have been up in Porter. You know freckles are a real thing.
00:27:11
Speaker
Yeah, but like that that's sun damage over time, so anyways. ah So yeah, you come in, you start cleaning, you're like housekeeping, and you like, when you first came in, you probably heard some noises. Is this a two story or one story? It's a three story. Three story? Yeah.
00:27:31
Speaker
Okay, so you probably hear, like, ah some... I'm guessing the Master Legends is probably on the third story. um You'd probably be hearing some, like, shattering ah noises and shattering sounds coming from the third story.
00:27:48
Speaker
I'm coming up! I don't know if you're capable of keeping up this voice. No, I'm fine. That's not me. Oh, okay. anyways oh i am sick but that's not me i'm fine um i'm coming up the stairs does she like crab walks up to the stairs she oh but yeah i guess she just follows the voice and then uh can she roll an insight uh... you would need uh... like well i guess you could she doesn't well she does have inside yet you can roll inside to us uh... wits i guess cool all right that she has rolled one success okay but i was being
00:28:44
Speaker
I'm so sorry. That was on. That was on. ah That's fine. OK. Could you do me a favor and and move by my mic back? Yeah. Yes, please. Yeah. You're welcome. Sorry. I've been reading into that hole. Yeah. So it's like. Yeah, that's kind of what it's like. Yeah. So I guess the only thing that you would i mean pick up from this is that there's somebody upstairs and he's breaking stuff for some reason.
00:29:16
Speaker
Well, ah I guess I'm just going to assume that this is normal and just continue on like the second floor. like I went up one story and then like I like had dice fall out of my pocket onto the ground and I was like, oh, OK.
00:29:33
Speaker
That's probably nothing. And then... ah So, since you've gotten a story closer and and probably in the stairwell, or at least while you're in the stairwell, you'll probably hear a muffled ah voice saying something along the lines of... God damn it! Where are the voices coming from?
00:29:56
Speaker
um And shit like that. While there's still crashing and shit going on.
00:30:03
Speaker
do you Do you go peek and into the into the room? Yeah, I go ah go up there. I'm on the third story, but like still on the stairs, and I'm like looking around the corner. Okay. um You would see the closed door to the master bedroom. Oh my gosh. um is there you also It also probably appears darker in the hallway than it really should be. Yeah.
00:30:32
Speaker
i pull out my made flashlight no flashlight you wonder like maybe the light bulbs are going out yeah they're like they're like dim dim dim dim but like flickering and they're like you know but you can't really see and i'm like going up there is but is there a keyhole uh it's how old is this house it would probably just be one of those like normal door key things uh not door like you can't really like the you pan i can't see right just like the whole of the yeah it's not a lot from like the 1900s yeah okay that's what i was that's what i was thinking locking key or something um anyways um so item utter lead three stores i
00:31:13
Speaker
And I like open the door or is it locked? I don't know I mean don When you go to when you go to open the door you feel a like massive like force hit the door from the other side Okay, like it feels like something body checks you and the door slams shut it slams shut, okay It was already hot andt like While he was opening it. Oh, okay. So you like, it it bashes her back and then... Yeah. Okay. um Yeah, you stumble back. Get out! Get out now!
00:32:00
Speaker
um I'll come back later. Sounds like a sad Mr. Krebs. money, money, money. um But yeah, I just kind of like back away slowly and then kind of go for the stairs. You probably hear some screaming at this point. um And not like angry screaming, more like some sort of insanity is going on, like in the in the screen. Yeah, I'm running. I'm out. I'm out of there. Am I chomping out really bad? No. no
00:32:40
Speaker
Okay, my GPU is going crazy, I think because I took, so it has a lot of sag, so I put something under it, but I took that off and I rearranged my room, and I think it's causing my screen to go nuts, but and my audio to go nuts. Strange. No, audio's fine, it's probably putting a little too much strain on the yeah the pins. and Do you have one of those metal-backed GPU slots, or is it just one of the plastic ones?
00:33:07
Speaker
It's metal-backed, but it's just it's the 2080, so it's big. It has four wires connected to it that are thick, trying to hold it on. They actually have this little plastic like GPU like balancer thing. Yeah, that goes underneath, I don't know. but I seem to do something about it, but it's fine. If I don't sound bad, I'm fine.
00:33:29
Speaker
Okay, so we we flash forward back to the present and um once again, you know, we've seen that first moment and now in the present, you know, Dina is standing there timidly at the at the door waiting to see if Cole will say anything to her.
00:33:52
Speaker
if If he doesn't, she will leave after a few minutes a few seconds, like 10, 15 seconds or so. But she doesn't ah want to enrage him. So over the last like couple weeks, you've had similar experiences to this one. You've also had very cordial interactions with him, where he seemed completely sane. um But he seems to have some sort of weird mood swings.
00:34:18
Speaker
um So he's kind of been unpredictable to this point. um So when you come in, like he's staring out the window, like he's put his like fingers in between the blinds and spread them apart and is like just like staring out that window. um And when you when you open the door and and come in and put the tray down, he I'll look back and I'll be like, Dina.
00:34:46
Speaker
please tell me your Please tell me you're not at hallucination.
00:34:52
Speaker
um
00:34:55
Speaker
I mean, with that with that voice, I can only assume you are. It's my voice. it's some that's yeah ah but belliecker And if she's ever played by anyone else, her voice will mysteriously change. Well, because it'll I don't know. I mean, I could do a normal woman voice, but it's not fun.
00:35:23
Speaker
Oh, I thought that was like your legit inner, like, attempt to be a woman. No, I could be, ah I could be, I could be Gina. Is that a dino?
00:35:36
Speaker
Um, yeah. He glances over his shoulder and looks at you and he goes, the the voices, they just won't stop. they They didn't, they weren't too bad tonight though. They, they stopped before you woke up.
00:35:53
Speaker
Which is a blessing. It's a blessing. Tonight must be one of the good nights. It's a relief slightly crazed laughter.
00:36:05
Speaker
was like just me Why? I don't really know, but I need you to calm down like right now, okay? I'm either going to walk out this door, or you're gonna be completely normal.
00:36:24
Speaker
Damn. Talk to your employer like that. ah Hold on. I got a i got a thing. I'm going to do a thing. um What is it? Is it an oblivion power? No. What are you trying to do? Oh, the intimidate thing. Intimidate. Oh, it is I think that is an oblivion power. It's either oblivion or obfuscate. Damage to mortals.
00:36:53
Speaker
tearing skin and breaking bones with bare fingers. The user's unarmed attack can now do aggravated damage to mortals. So I'm going to do Shadow Cloak, I think it is. I'm going to be at Shadow's User Masks.
00:37:09
Speaker
Parents seem more sinister and threatening. um so When you say that, um I use the Shadow Cloak ability, um and the shadows seem to like ooze towards me and kind of like swirl around my body, climbing up. um and Then I'm going to also use the Lethal Body. Should I roll for these? Shadow Cloak is free. Lethal Body um it was also free is free, yes.
00:37:40
Speaker
um And I've got like a metal vase sitting on a stand ah next to the window. I grab it and I just kind of crumple at my fist. And I go, Dina, how are you talking back to me right now? can I'm having a good night. You don't want me to have a bad one. And Dina, she just you've seen his bad side before. You don't want this.
00:38:08
Speaker
Yeah, I don't want this. And yet, for some reason, you keep coming back to work here. As if... As if you have no choice. It's my job. Yeah. i toss I toss this crumpled metal base to her. um Not intending harm, just I toss it to her like at her feet. okay And I say, take that and go. I can't deal with you tonight.
00:38:39
Speaker
And your phone vibrates um as she grabs it. Oh, give me one second. Kelsey wants me allsma to preheat the oven. I'll be right back. Go for it. Intelligence plus wits? No. ah Invest in technology plus something.
00:39:00
Speaker
intelligent Intelligence? Tech plus intelligence, yeah. To check my phone? Oh, he's going to do a thing. Never mind.
00:39:21
Speaker
Huh? What's up? Hold on. I'm doing surgery on a grape. Alright. What? Why? Oh yeah, those are cute. Yeah. It's a little 90s, but hey. So your wedding's this weekend? Or this week? Yeah, it's this weekend. Yeah, I said it just looks a little 90s, but it looks good. Yeah, it's cute.
00:39:53
Speaker
Or are you saying? I said that's what's up. Are you excited? Hell yeah. We're going on a cruise right after. That's even better. That's even better. Well, slightly better. Hold on, I need to blow my nose. But I need to finish pushing this up. Alright, I fixed my sag. He ain't sagging no more.
00:40:22
Speaker
um
00:40:38
Speaker
All right, I'm back.
00:40:42
Speaker
Is everybody here? Piper, you don't need to be in here.
00:40:51
Speaker
Am I the only one here? No, I'm here. Oh, okay. um All right. What did I say? like Oh, yeah. So as she's picking up the vase and stuff and going going out of the room, um your phone vibrates. i You glance at your phone and you see it's an alarm saying that um you uh that tonight is the night that your friend um max maybe friend is a strong word i don't know your acquaintance but this is the night max is supposed to go uh to talk to um his sire who has been imprisoned
00:41:33
Speaker
ah It seemed like it was kind of an important moment. He didn't necessarily. I mean, that's up to you, Max, if you asked had asked anyone to come with you. But, um you know, the the group knows that that's what you were going to go do tonight. I don't think I would have asked anyone to come with me. OK. All right.
00:41:56
Speaker
um cold you can decide if you want to give him a call or not but we should now go over to um did did you ever do the rouse check uh jaden oh no no no yeah see if you get any hungrier you Hunger success is you do not get hungrier. And let me turn this back on to fancy mode. I don't think I've ever gotten hungrier from this. Well, you are currently at hunger three because I randomly rolled to see where everyone's hunger has been at over the past you know two weeks because we've done a time jump. you know um So you don't get any hungrier tonight, but you are pretty hungry.
00:42:51
Speaker
um uh your your sire hasn't been around much so when you have been hungry i mean actually you feed on your family members uh that being said probably the reason that you're so hungry is that your family has been in l LA with Seth Rogan, but they are due to come in um that they should be ah flying in tonight. You're supposed to meet them at the airport. um You look at your watch and you're supposed to meet them there in about and about an hour. ah your Your wife and children should be returning and you're supposed to pick them up. um and This is about to be the big hoorah of whether or not they're going to stay.
00:43:41
Speaker
yeah Yeah, you don't you don't really know you know. You've given her some space. you know you You guys have been talking over the phone. um you You have been pretty busy. like she She seems confused more so than angry. um She remembers being angry at you about something and remembers like you've been like sleeping all day and and working a lot at night. And that's kind of confusing.
00:44:09
Speaker
um You do know that she's supposed to have been mind controlled ah to where this wasn't a problem, but maybe it's wearing off, if you're not sure. ah The guy who turned her, or who did the mind controlling for you, who did so in exchange for 10% of the company, um or well, actually in exchange for being allowed to buy 10% of the company, and then he ended up buying like 30% of it or something.
00:44:37
Speaker
um you haven't been able to like, get him ah like have a one on one with him, you have run into him occasionally, he does randomly show up at um at your, ah your, your place of business, the Isaac genetics. um And kind of like either drops off he's he's actually been very beneficial to the company but he's also been very much ignoring you um he has gotten a lot of stuff through like a lot of you know pharmaceutical stuff has to be approved by the FDA and by you know various government organizations and he's kind of getting all of your projects approved things that would normally take months or years to get approved he's getting you know getting it through
00:45:33
Speaker
you know in the past two weeks like several of your projects have been greenlit to go to the market you you are on track to make a lot of money um because of him that being said he's also Kind of been picking and choosing those projects. He's not just doing every single one of your projects He's the one who's deciding which you know, like he shows up with the paperwork and says this project has been approved and then you know You start moving forward with it. So, you know, he's got some kind of agenda because um, give me a Let's see, what would this be?
00:46:16
Speaker
It wouldn't be in sight. Well, no, give me an insight. Insight plus intelligence role.
00:46:26
Speaker
Oh, and your character would be fully healed at this point. Let's see. All right. What's my character healed? exactly everyone Everyone should be fully healed, yeah. um Four successes total. ah No friends, Inc. So... ah you um Yeah, with four successes, I'll say you you don't know exactly what he's up to, but you can tell just kind of like following the pattern, like he's he's a he's green lighting different things that, um I mean, you're certain he's got a plan. Like this doesn't seem random. You don't know what the plan is yet, but what he's doing is not random. he's
00:47:10
Speaker
making specific projects of yours work for specific reasons you also know that he has been getting in really good with your board of directors like they they really like him like nobody's said anything about replacing you
00:47:32
Speaker
Which, you know, is difficult, but I mean, it happened to Tony Stark. Nobody said anything. He also died. Well, I mean, in the very first movie he got... Oh, that's true. Yeah, in front of the guys. Yeah.
00:47:50
Speaker
So you know you're not 100% sure, but it's kind of weird. you know that he's he's making the um He's ignoring you. He's making the board really like him. And he's green lighting a bunch of very specific projects. So it doesn't all sound good. But then you've also got this stuff going on with your wife and the drama that has happened with your wife. And with those four insights, you think that maybe the drama was intentional.
00:48:16
Speaker
um I'll also say with the four successes, ah what little interaction you have had from him... Oh, hey, Kelsey's home. I'll be right back. We'll leave that at a cliffhanger.
00:48:36
Speaker
Wow.
00:48:45
Speaker
well My wife's getting taken, my business is getting taken. That's pretty live. Yeah.
00:49:00
Speaker
You know, I haven't leveled any of my character's ah abilities at all. Me neither. To be honest, I don't even know how to do that.
00:49:22
Speaker
All right, I'm back again. Hello. Hello. What was I saying? You were just talking about how my entire life has basically been taken from me. Yes. so with the four inside With the four successes on the insight, you think that um you know this is possibly intentional and possibly you did something at some point to make this guy pissed off at you. um you and you you know With four insights, I will say you don't know exactly what.
00:49:53
Speaker
i But yeah, I mean this seems like he's doing it on purpose, maybe.
00:50:03
Speaker
So yeah, you are supposed to head to the airport um to pick up your wife. But I'm at my job right now, right? No, you just woke up. Oh, look at that all happen.
00:50:14
Speaker
that's That's why that I was just explaining what's been going on. So you just woke up okay and you're supposed to pick her up in an hour. um You are at hunger three. ah So you are hungry. um But again, like I said, mean normally you normally would be feeding on your family. um not But you can try to find food otherwise.
00:50:36
Speaker
you just your preferred way of feeding would just be to drink from one of them. Right. Cause it's easy. Yeah. Um, well, I guess I'm gonna go, well, what yeah, what time is it? Uh, it's, um, we'll say 7 PM. Yeah.
00:50:57
Speaker
Okay, and it's still early in the year so that's like dark. Yeah, it's dark. Yeah, we're in February so it's definitely dark.
00:51:06
Speaker
Well, I'm gonna go eat, I'm gonna go find, I'm gonna go take my, well I'm gonna get dressed and like leave. You also, um you probably don't need an alarm to remind you of this. You do know that your your associate Max also has an important event happening tonight. um You could make it, but also that would mean ah picking up your wife, dropping her off, and then heading right out. So that's that's kind of up to you. That's a bad move. Yeah.
00:51:43
Speaker
um but yeah I'm just going to text Max real quick. Well, actually, I'm going to text and drive on the way there. I'm going to say, hey. I like mistype like two things. I'm like, hey, blah, blah, blah. I'm probably not going to make it tonight. I'm so sorry. I don't really care anyway. I'm just kidding.
00:52:06
Speaker
I mean, I don't think I would show up anyway. Oh, yeah, probably not but you know what I'm gonna need from you is a drive plus dexterity check Okay There's a driving one. Yep. You don't have any all there is you don't have any points and drives. So just do dexterity You can always rouse the blood but you're pretty hungry currently. So You said drive plus dexterity, yeah, okay Okay, so that is zero successes. Now, this doesn't mean you crash or anything. Okay. What this does mean is you drove poorly enough that you um see the flash of lights and hear that the sirens behind you. Perfect.
00:52:52
Speaker
ah Actually, I guess I should let you know. There is a thing you can do. You can spend a point of willpower. You have six willpower. This is something I keep forgetting, kept forgetting, but when we played before. You can always spend a point of willpower to reroll. Actually, you can't. Those are all hunger dice. You can't reroll hunger. So um so yeah, you can't spend the real willpower right now because you're too hungry. So yeah, you failed the roll. It was not a crit fail. It would have to be, wait.
00:53:23
Speaker
i think it would tell me if it was a messy critical no it's just a mess yeah ah um so yeah there there are um yeah you're being pulled over do you do you pull over do you run what's your what's you what you doing here umm pull it over okay pull over and um you know the cop takes like i don't know It seems forever. It's probably only like five minutes, but it feels like forever before he finally gets out of his car and walks over to you. And do you roll down the window? Yeah, I rolled down the window. And he says, what'd you rouse for? Presence.
00:54:06
Speaker
Oh, okay. Um, you don't have to rouse. I don't think you have to rouse for, for all. Yeah. it All is free. Um, okay. Yeah. Uh, so the cop, um, comes up to you. Uh, so what all does is it gives you bonuses, you know, to interacting with people. They he's already, you know, paying attention to you. So it doesn't draw his attention, you know, any more than it already was. Um, but essentially with mortals it's, uh,
00:54:38
Speaker
Add the presence rating to any skill role involving persuasion, performance, as well as to other charisma related roles. So you have presence, one point in presence. So yeah, you'll get a plus one to any roles, you know, persuasive roles with this cop. um okay And the cop, you know, comes up to you and he's like, ah he's like, where are you heading tonight, sir?
00:55:07
Speaker
well just uh... pick up my wife and kids from uh... airport it's like a nice can i uh... see your license and registrations please yeah i pull it out super fat instead not to waste his time yeah i don't always decide that exactly no and maybe i mean maybe i could do that because it is not going to draw a weapon but uh... i wanna i'm not going to do that i'm just gonna have i'm just gonna suddenly have it in front of me And he he blinks a little surprised. you know He wasn't expecting that. But um he he looks it over and he says, ah so the the reason I pulled you over was you were texting on your phone while driving. And as you know, that is i'm against the law here in the fine state of Texas. Well, is it illegal to use voice activation? Well, you were clearly using your, your you weren't using the voice activation.
00:56:04
Speaker
Well, I was trying to click it. I was really fumbling around. I was trying to pay attention to the road, mostly. But you know there's always that little button down there that just you know lets you click it. My Siri button doesn't work really well. I'm sorry. So i'm just I was really trying to press that. And so I could speak about it. But you know i was it was falling all over my hands. So what I would say, this is going to be persuasion plus manipulation um ah with your plus one bonus.
00:56:34
Speaker
I'm saying it works for manipulation as well as charisma. Why wouldn't it? Three successes. um The cop is like, you know, he he's like, well, um get give me just a second. And he goes, you know, and it it takes definitely more than just a second because he's a cop, but not as long as usual.
00:56:53
Speaker
You know, um he's he's he's quick about it. ah Comes back and says, well, everything checks out. Just ah try to stay off your phone while driving. um you You were swerving around a little bit. We don't want want you to get into any accidents. You could hurt yourself or somebody else. But you have a good night, sir. And he lets you go on your way. It's because I'm white. Of course, sir. You have a good day. I love that. I love that pale pale, deathly, pale skin of yours. Exactly. You know? I'm like translucent.
00:57:23
Speaker
And yeah, he lets you go. um where where I forget, were you going to go find someone to eat, or were you going to go pick up your wife? I was going to find someone to eat, but as he's walking away, this is what I was hoping for. okay I'm going to open up my door and like do my little soaring leap over behind them, and just take a nice little chomp out of his neck. Alright, give me... In the middle of public, bro? It's night time, and I'm on the side of the road.
00:57:51
Speaker
Yeah, well, maybe say you got lucky and you weren't in Houston. OK, give me ah for to grab him like that. That's going to be a brawl plus strength and you don't have brawl. a
00:58:06
Speaker
Well, is there? OK, because it's just part. OK, I see because it's just part of my discipline. So I just enable that. Yeah. But then I roll for the OK. I mean, you know, you've got mind control powers, right?
00:58:18
Speaker
Yeah, but if he turns around, then I can be like, wheel, wheel, wheel. I mean, sure. Yeah, you bounce over to him just fine. What I'm saying is you need to roll to grab him. OK. You said straight plus dexterity, or brawl plus dexterity? Yes. And let me grab a cop character real quick. Oh, no. This is so stressful. I really hope this works. The book cop is extremely powerful. We're just going to go with,
00:58:48
Speaker
I know there's a one success one success. I've got a chart here. I just got to find he is okay.
00:58:58
Speaker
um So one success isn't isn't enough to catch him off guard. He hears the door open and turns. um And you know, CZU, it wasn't very far so it doesn't look like a soaring leap. it doesn't Nothing unnatural looks at it. There's nothing but nothing unnatural looking about it. But the guy definitely um jumps back and manages to avoid you and pulls his gun and it's like ah he's like, what are you doing? Put gett get back in the put your hands in the air.
00:59:31
Speaker
I was like, Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I was just trying to give you a handshake. I didn't mean a story i wanted to say I appreciate you for keeping these streets clean. Okay. Well, that's going to be another, um, uh, persuasion plus manipulation with a plus one bonus. Hey.
00:59:49
Speaker
Come on, come on. Two successes. um You know, I made him be a weak mortal and which means he's a difficulty two mortal. So he ah he said he he but maybe it's because of your vampiric power. um But he he kind of is confused for a moment blinks. and and And then he's like, well, you sure have a weird way of showing it. But ah I mean, um I You know, people don't appreciate us cops often enough. When have we ever done anything wrong? Hey, I say put it there. It's only the beginning of 2020. Let everything... He reaches out to hack your hands.
01:00:35
Speaker
um And then I shake it. how how How hard would it be for me to like just lift up my his hand and just kind of like, you know, So difficult because while you are a vampire, you weren't like an especially physical person to begin with. So you've only got a little bit of enhancement right now. And you've spent experience points on um your dominate powers, not your strength powers. so
01:01:10
Speaker
It's all good. Well, then I just shake his hand and walk it away. Okay. Yeah, he lets you go. You get back in your car and you drive off. And yeah, where are you going to find food? i Probably McDonald's parking lot.
01:01:27
Speaker
Okay, you pull into a McDonald's parking lot. there's its what It's probably now about 7.30. There's plenty of people wondering, you know, there's there's a couple cars in the drive-through and a couple cars in the parking lot not counting the like two employees cars. There's there's only two people working inside and you're lucky that there's two people working inside.
01:01:49
Speaker
oh Well, I'm just going to sign. Okay, if you go in. Welcome McDonald's, kind of take your order. Yeah, can I get a... Oh. No, go ahead. Can I get a corn powder with cheese, extra pickle? Okay, and he types it in and... Dude, do you want any drink or fries with that? I'll do a Dr. Pepper, light eyes. Okay, and any fries with that?
01:02:16
Speaker
ah Yeah, make them extra large. Throw some in the bag. And he rings all of those up separately, which makes the price come out more. ah Then you see, it that'll be $12.95.
01:02:30
Speaker
All right, and then I like pay for it. Okay, and then he goes, you know, he goes over to the drink machine, presses the button and it's like for like a good like 30 seconds, ice overflows into the tray. And then he pours in the Dr. Pepper for about three seconds.
01:02:52
Speaker
um Puts the lid on shit He sure yeah, he shoves the straw in himself um Sets that on the counter um and then he's like your food will be out in a little bit and Yeah Well, then I would just wait like kind of in the like front lobby, but kind of like towards the bathroom Is there anyone else inside? um Let's find out
01:03:22
Speaker
a um six or higher yes, a one to five is no. Somebody walks in and takes their order. And he he kind of does the same deal with them. And then they they go and kind of like sit at a table, you know, waiting on their food. Okay. Well,
01:03:47
Speaker
I guess I'll just wait until my food's ready because that's going to be really difficult because I was kind of thinking either there's going to be A, a couple of people there, so there's going to be a ah slightly likelihood that someone will go to the restroom. ah The person who's sitting there gets up and goes to the restroom. All right, I was going to go top on this guy, I guess, then. Okay, yeah, the guy, the doors the door to the um the ah the bathroom is locked. Or I guess the, no, no, it's a McDonald's, so you open the door, he's over at the urinal.
01:04:17
Speaker
don Yeah, I'm just going to get him with his pass down. Yeah, he's kind of swaying a little bit. Oh, he's drunk. Might be. So what I was actually going to do, if this didn't happen, I just want to put it out here because it's kind of funny. I was going to take my food and just go bring it to a homeless man and be like, hey, bro, I got you some food. And then be like, anyways, um, but yeah, I mean, can I just walk up behind him and just like chomp on him while he's peeing? Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:46
Speaker
And you do that. um And let me let me do a roll to see what his blood tastes like. One, two, three, four. That's a D4.
01:05:00
Speaker
That makes sense. He is in a sanguine mood, which means he's already pretty um you know relaxed and happy and stuff. And and um you you drink his blood. it ah tastes you know It definitely tastes of alcohol as well. um you maybe even get a You maybe even get a slight buzz off of him. He's that drunk. um No mechanical effects. Actually, let's find out if it's a mechanical effect, because I did this roll wrong. It's supposed to be a D10. Well, we'll keep the roll I had, but there's another D10 I'm supposed to do.
01:05:46
Speaker
So I do this.
01:05:49
Speaker
Eight, fleeting. Okay. um Yeah, it's, I guess that there's not a super strong, you know, flavor to it, I guess, but you do taste the alcohol flavor. um What this does is, because it's sanguine, you will get a bonus to any future presence rules you do um until your next feeding. So it is- And also blood sorcery, but you don't have that.
01:06:24
Speaker
Presents. Okay. Hey, pizza should be ready. um And you feed on him and now I'm going to disappear again for a few minutes. um And we'll probably change scenes also because I don't know how far we're going to get tonight. I don't know how you are how late you are going to want to stay up since we stayed up late, but um I'll be right back.
01:06:48
Speaker
ah ah re
01:06:52
Speaker
How are y'all feeling? I'm good. I'm kind of tired. her You're always tired, bro. I know. Oh, sleepy.
01:07:07
Speaker
I got a bad customer tomorrow. I mean, he's not a bad customer like I said in person, but his house is like the worst. What happened? He just has white stucco on the water and he always wants the inside no matter what. yeah So I have to spend, you know, like 10 minutes doing his giant inside and then go outside and it spend like an hour sweeping with my shoulder already acting up right before my wedding. That's all good.
01:07:44
Speaker
This is what it is.
01:07:49
Speaker
But if this changes scenes and it's not pertaining to me, I'll probably go to bed. It might be changing to me. We don't know.
01:08:06
Speaker
And I'm back again. How's everyone doing it on time? Well I was just going to see if I was in the next scene because if not I would probably go to bed. We can like do your reunion with your wife next time if you're yeah if you're ready for bed. Well i it might be better just in general because I might be able to yeah just do it better.
01:08:31
Speaker
plus um I don't know which Frank or Hayden do you two think you can be? um ah ah What the hell is that guy's name? Seth Rogen? Or should Bill be Seth Rogen? Bill should be Seth Rogen. You can't be Seth Rogen, Jaden, because you're Seth Rogen. I could do both. Dang.
01:08:52
Speaker
Yeah. andlicquim But yeah, we can do yours um when you know next time. But oh, how much how much blood do you take from this guy? You're at hunger 2. You can take 2 hunger and it will make him winded and all of that, but not hospitalized. If you take your final point of hunger, it will kill him. Oh no, I'll just take 2 then. 2 liters. 2 pints, I mean.
01:09:20
Speaker
yeah Yeah, I remember in a previous session, we you know got into a big thing about how much blood um a dot is. And there's actually not a, um a what do you call it, a set amount, because each vampire requires more or less blood to get rid of a dot, basically.
01:09:45
Speaker
The especially older vampires and older vampire may take two or three dots worth of blood from a human to even reduce them by one, you know, so like basically it may an older vampire might have to almost kill a human just to reduce their hunger by one.
01:10:01
Speaker
um because of how powerful they are so it's not really measured in a set amount um you know for Cole's purposes you know the the bottle of wine is like a dot of blood basically or a blood bag is a dot of blood um but if Cole were ever to increase what's called his blood potency it would actually make him ah if he increased it too high he wouldn't actually no longer be able to survive off of bagged blood because once you're
01:10:35
Speaker
A, as your character gets older, or B, you know, if you spend experience points on it, ah and by older, I mean like hundreds of years, but you know, when you're, A, over time, or B, from ah spending experience points to speed it up, as your blood potency goes up, you do get more powerful, but also you require more and more powerful blood. um Some of the most powerful vampires can only survive off the blood of other supernatural beings.
01:11:04
Speaker
whether they be vampires or, you know, whatever. So um anyway, yeah, we can do your wife interaction next time. um If anything, we could even say her flight was delayed and she comes in the next day or we can just pick up right where we left off because we're, you know, we've got a lot happening in this one evening. So um I'm sorry, I was so late. I just wanted to get my desk finished up because I don't know. You're going to flip around and everything. Yeah.
01:11:34
Speaker
um But next week I'm gonna be on a cruise so I won't be able to play. Okay. um But after that, I mean, it's nothing for the rest of my life. so for the rest nothing For the rest of your life. So is your wedding next week? Yeah, it's this weekend. Oh okay, nice.
01:11:56
Speaker
are are um ah Is anybody going to his wedding? No, it's very small. It's very small. Yeah, you it costs you so much money. It did. It was like family and like a couple friends each. Yeah, I was going to say, I only spent $3,000 on my wedding. That's crazy. and and Apparently, this is the average now. So I mean, I guess anyone else getting married now, is that's the case. I might come for something or you don't want it.
01:12:30
Speaker
Okay, thank you. i Yeah, that's it's crazy how much that stuff costs nowadays. like I was thinking like we could even fly some like people out for that much, you know like i have a destination wedding, but it doesn't even seem like that. so I don't know, but it's all good. You could have flown me out and then I would have married y'all for free. That's true.
01:12:56
Speaker
ah I'm just kidding. that was odd I would imagine that is probably the cheapest part of your wedding. the the Whoever is doing your thing. He's $100 and we're giving him $100 too.
01:13:11
Speaker
okay Is he see a Justice of the Peace or something? Or an actual like preacher? or No, yeah he was just some guy from our church. okay
01:13:26
Speaker
So really he's pocketing 200 bucks for me. Yeah, but he's done a lot of weddings so It's not like his first rodeo or anything. So That's what we're working kind of So I'm not like worried about but I don't know we just wanted to go as smooth as possible. Yeah, like my dad on him I won't lie. So you're down. Well, I'm guessing there's something to that but right um I'm not going to lie, you know we used the adjusters of the piece. And we gave him a script that he did not read. um And yeah, it was annoying. we We dealt with it. But then when he tried to start saying the like standard vows, we were like, um we we wrote our own stuff. And he's like, oh, OK. Did you read anything we gave you? I know, right.
01:14:16
Speaker
down All right, everyone that we've talked to is like super like about it. It's crazy. Yeah But yeah, anyways, well congratulations um Anyone who listens to this it'll probably be like literally a year from now um but uh Feel free to text Jaden congratulations if he were to give out his phone number, which he won't. But i sure he too that' kidding I'm sure he's got some sort of way to contact. Or send it to our email at idmroleplayatgmail.com. hey And follow us on Patreon, because we'll probably have one at this point. I sure hope so.
01:15:00
Speaker
um But yeah, so happy trails, everyone. i will be ah I'm married man by the next time you all talk to me. Yep. so Congratulations. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully nothing happens. Hopefully she doesn't run away. That would be really awkward on a cruise ship. What? I'm loving it. Have to go to a cruise right after that.
01:15:23
Speaker
Oh, okay. You're not getting married on the cruise. You're going to... No. Okay. Yeah, it's the next day, but I mean, we would definitely still go. I mean, it was... Not cheap either way, so... Yeah. Anyways. But yeah, y' have a good night. Alright.
01:15:37
Speaker
and do
01:15:39
Speaker
um We switch over back to ah Max. um I forgot what we were doing with you. ah but Besides, you were gonna go to... Oh, you're you're hungry, Max.
01:15:56
Speaker
Lauren you that's right. You are contacting Lauren and my grandfather. I texted him too. Okay. Yeah ah So after a little bit Lauren does respond back to you and she She says something along the lines of sounds interesting. I'll be there um And as far as your Grand sire you hear a knock at the door and Damn, I look, does he have a peephole or anything like that? I think Bill does have some way to see out. I think he may have mentioned that.
01:16:39
Speaker
I mean, that would be pretty reasonable, right? Yeah, I guess I look out to the people and it is him. You look out the people and you see the hallway leading, you know, down to the staircase because you are on the second floor of Bill's building.
01:16:56
Speaker
Um, and yes, you do see, uh, McHale, your grand sire. He's early. I, opened the door and I say, I wasn't expecting for the next couple of hours. And he says, Oh, well I got your text message thing.
01:17:17
Speaker
and uh... figured i'd just come up i was just standing outside uh... brooding and looking for crime and i go well mister he doesn't know who batman is but he's definitely a batman type yeah i i say well mistle mister uh... tall blonde and handsome got anyone that Bingo find. I mean, I can, this whole eating people thing has really been dealing with my psyche. and yeah It's kind of really off that. He at that raises, you know, he um raises an eyebrow and says, uh,
01:18:11
Speaker
what, what do you mean? Um, eating, get your psyche.
01:18:17
Speaker
it's so it's like whole like zo are you familiar with zombies I know you're kind of yeah it' time there i've heard of so so it's like in essence we're like sentient zombies we're dead but we're alive and we're still thinking we are who we are we haven't changed like zombies the reason why it's okay to Like, just straight up murder a zombie is because they're they're just a dead thing that's only thing is to kill. But with vampires, we exclusively hunt the things that we once were. Well, not exclusively. We primarily hunt the things that we once were. And now we don't really see it as a problem, but obviously the humans see it as a problem.
01:19:15
Speaker
Well, yeah it it the kind obviously do not like the idea of being hunted. And there's not there's nothing we can do about about that, per se. um as you asve As you have chosen to do, you you do not kill, um if if avoidable.
01:19:40
Speaker
ah
01:19:44
Speaker
and you attempt to feed on those who are deserving, um the worst of humanity. And as long as you keep to that that code, you should be alright, your psyche should remain intact.
01:20:04
Speaker
um One thing you have noticed, ah this guy you've never seen him actually feed on any of the men or women that you hunt down I mean i mean it's not like you've hunted many he's taken you on um He's taking you on a hunt, but the hunt, and we will flashback. We flashback to ah shortly after the last episode that we just did, um you left with ah your grandsire. um Jerry, I forget what he was doing, but he's doing something in the apartment. You left and he took you, he takes you up on a drive. You go down to,
01:20:50
Speaker
um The Houston the Houston ship channel um and you know, he takes you walking on the docks there ah And he's kind of talking about the um The the where when he found tiv ah she was a Let let let me bring up tiv's Background just so I don't get don't get anything wrong here
01:21:18
Speaker
I remember most of her background, but there's one part I can't quite remember.
01:21:30
Speaker
Yeah, and he says, you know, when when when he embraced him, she was ah just a young woman um who had seen nothing but war in her life. ah The the ah king of, of ah or or leader of her her land was a ah ruthless ruthless man. and Tiv herself ah took well to the clan, she she sought vengeance, and ever since then
01:22:05
Speaker
as far as he he can tell that has been what she's kind of been doing her whole life her whole on life is seeking revenge and he stops and he turns to you and he says and that is no way to spend eternity I've tried to teach to have that there is more to this life that there this on life if you will that ah that you can find purpose and and that that is what you need to do. You are cursed to live for forever. you You feed on the people you once were.
01:22:46
Speaker
Most of us try to feed on those who are are deserving. who Or most of our clan anyway. What deserving means is different for each of us. We each live by a code. And you need to figure out that code. figure out Figure out what it is to make this right for you. And then we flash back to the present.
01:23:13
Speaker
And he says, have you thought about what I said on that that first day? Have you thought about ah about forming your own code? Forming ah what is what is right for you? Because there's no avoiding what you are. There's no avoiding harming others there's no avoiding even one day you may kill someone whether it's intentional or accidental you're gonna live a very long time and it's going to happen have you thought about what I said I I have thought about it it's just it's a it's a
01:23:57
Speaker
be discovering who I am now is gonna be a very long thing I mean I I i don't know if you remember your human years so much but you know you're probably into your 30s or your 40s before you really discovered who you were as a person of course yes and so this is just gonna take time excited I don't know what it is to be a vampire I don't know you know, what it takes or what society is and our role in this new society that I've discovered that now exists. What it is to be a vampire is very much different than what it is to be a member of the Banu Hakim.
01:24:44
Speaker
we
01:24:49
Speaker
don't want us We are different than the other vampires. we The other vampires hunt indiscriminately, and they don't live by a code. That is what will keep your psyche intact.
01:25:03
Speaker
ah When you figure out who is the most deserving of your wrath, who is the most deserving of of giving you the blood,
01:25:17
Speaker
ah As you know, obviously, you do not have to follow my path. I am a hunter. i I hunt down those who are most deserving and more often than not, they do not leave with their lives. That is not required of you. That is not necessarily even expected of you.
01:25:41
Speaker
ah But one thing that I do is I make sure that those who I hunt are the most deserving. um You'll remember the first hunt you went home with me. It did not begin as a hunt. And once again, we flash back. ah he you're You're on the docks again, you know, well, still there the same night.
01:26:03
Speaker
And he's sitting kind of cross-legged in front of you, and it asks you to sit. It's a very um master and sin, say, type of moment. yeah um He's even got a sword that you didn't notice before. He drew the sword seemingly from nowhere and laid it across his lap.
01:26:22
Speaker
um You're not sure if it's to be dramatic or maybe it was just uncomfortable because the sword definitely looks like it would be like if it was on his back. You didn't see it there, but the sword is long enough that it wouldn't be comfortable to sit down with. It is a broad sword. Well, let me see. you excited I mean, it's a long European style sword.
01:26:45
Speaker
um
01:26:49
Speaker
I know I did not give him the sword. Well, whatever. You know, it's it's it's a... What is it called? What kind of thing is it? A claymore. You know, ridiculously large sword. And he lays it across his lap. And um and then he ah he he's had kind of like a pack with him and he he withdraws his pack and lays out a bunch of papers in front of you. um It's a bunch of newspaper articles and...
01:27:20
Speaker
and documents kind of like legal documentation, things like that. And it's like um part of my code is ensuring that anyone that I hunt is absolutely deserving of the justice I bring to them. ah I- Have you watched the TV show Dexter?
01:27:45
Speaker
Dexter. i I don't, I rarely watch television. ah He slides the papers over to you you should watch it um and asks you to take a look at them. Give me just like a investigation plus intelligence role on that.
01:28:05
Speaker
right
01:28:13
Speaker
Three successes, alright. Let me take a bite of my pizza real quick.
01:28:20
Speaker
That sounded like a good, good bite. That was a slight crunch to it. a little It's a little burnt. We're still figuring out the new oven. It tends to burn things. um But it's it's pretty good.
01:28:34
Speaker
um Okay, so you look through the papers and very quickly you you see that this is the case of a um a murderer. um i don't need We don't need to come up with a specific name. um A murderer ah who ah murdered ah several people um and then you know he was put on trial. Seemed like it was a shut-in-door case. Seemed like they had him dead to rights.
01:29:03
Speaker
And then at the last minute, um well, I guess it what was the last minute because the trial was over, but um the trial ended with the jury declaring him not guilty. ah Everyone was shocked, but there you know there was nothing they could do about it. He was declared not guilty from his peers. There's also um financial records and all sorts of stuff showing um not ah showing large deposits into several of the jurors' accounts, um things like that. That's what I was wondering. yeah
01:29:35
Speaker
Yeah, so, you know, with 36S's, you're like, this this guy totally bribed the jury. um If not him, somebody knows. ah And got off, got away with murder. And Michael says, tell me what you see here.
01:29:55
Speaker
I see a scumbag who deserved to die, but played the system. And, you know, he nods sagely and he's like, this this is a rather obvious case, ah but this is the type of person, the only type of person I hunt. Tiv, so far with her, you have hunted drug dealers and back alley thugs.
01:30:23
Speaker
ah Can you truly say they were deserving of what you did to them? don't You don't have to answer that. That is that is a question for you and you alone. I feel like they do, though. like That's the type of place that you sort of debatedly rescued her from.
01:30:49
Speaker
he He nods and and he says that, again, that is ah that is for you to decide ah and i'm not I'm not saying I disagree with you or not. What I'm saying is ah it's important that the people we hunt deserve it. You didn't take their lives um and I would think that perhaps they didn't deserve to lose their lives over what they did.
01:31:20
Speaker
This man, however, I would say, personally, I believe he deserves to die. I'm not asking you to kill him.
01:31:32
Speaker
But what I will tell you is he will be dead by the end of the night. And you're going to come with me. And if you don't help, that is okay, but you are going to watch. What you do specifically is entirely your choice.
01:31:50
Speaker
um And he stands at that point and puts a sword back on his back the sword disappears as he does so ah And then he says come with me and and he leads you he leads you on a hunt um You guys go you find this this guy um Who is you know at some bar you stalk him for a while? um This this guy, you know, he's hard Michael, he's difficult to pick up with. Like, Tiv was fast. She was, you know, dexterous. This guy, like, sometimes um you lose sight of him sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, he's, I mean, you you definitely have an idea of what he's doing. He's just, you know, he's older. He's better at it than you. But he does, you know, when you do lose sight of him, he always returns. Eventually, you guys follow this guy um to a secluded area.
01:32:45
Speaker
He, Michael, you know, in a flash is on him. He attacks ah basically just cuts one of the guy's legs right out from under him, just like there's a flash, a spray of blood, and the man's on the ground. um Screaming, all of that good stuff. And then Mikhail, you know, is over him, points his sword at him, ah gives him a little bit of a speech saying, you know, he's guilty of murder, he deserves to die. And then he looks to you.
01:33:17
Speaker
um With the hunger of three, do I need a rouse tracker or anything? this This is still a flashback. um This is your first hunt with him. ah Okay. And he says, would you sentence this man to death?
01:33:39
Speaker
Yes. And he nods and um he says, would you be the executioner? I mean, this is your hunt. But if you grant me, i if I was on the jury, I would have killed him.
01:33:58
Speaker
he um He takes a step back, you know, the guy is squirming and screaming and kind of motions, you know, motions to the guy.
01:34:16
Speaker
And you can choose to kill him. You can choose not to. That's that's your choice. um I think you've got a knife and a gun. I got a gun.
01:34:31
Speaker
Should there be a role for like to see if like... And you can
Feeding Choices & Moral Implications
01:34:35
Speaker
also buy them. you can also buy them So your humanity roles happen after you do something. Okay. Yeah.
01:34:44
Speaker
um
01:34:48
Speaker
I think I'll feed. OK. Yeah. So you you you know kneel down next to him. You feed him. This guy's blood, um compared to others that you have fed upon, you know they all were good. The the two you know other criminals you fed upon definitely um tasted right. This guy definitely tastes of everyone you fed on his blood you know does taste the most deserving to you, that this is a true you know, monster. Now my question is, do you take it all or do you just feed and then let, um, McHale finish the job? You don't have to kill the guy. I'm just saying, you know, this is, I mean, yeah. So McHale basically gave me permission to kill this man. Yes.
01:35:43
Speaker
I feel like I would, Okay, but so yeah, you you continue to drink. um And because you did that, I'm gonna say your hunger is not at three your hunger. Did you you succeeded? you you're You're at zero hunger. um You know, we'll say because of that, like you you are not hungry tonight. Well, now that makes no sense.
01:36:06
Speaker
It's been two weeks. Yeah. Well, we'll leave you where you were. um but Now let me double check the remorse um because there is a mechanic when you have, you know, higher humanity.
01:36:22
Speaker
um
01:36:28
Speaker
I know that it is like, I mean, I'm going to have to pull it up in the in the book. Real quick, it's not on my quick sheet. This is a mechanic we haven't messed with much because... no one's clear we're still Well, no one's killed and we are also still learning the rules. I mean, I probably should have made Bill do it because he almost killed someone. um And for his character, I feel like especially... I mean, he played it off as very traumatic.
01:37:01
Speaker
um All right, where is humanity in this darn book?
01:37:15
Speaker
And this doesn't mean you're going to lose humanity. um I mean, you might, depending on the role, but I don't remember- How bad it is. Yeah. um And going from like the starting eight humanity or whatever you're at to to the next isn't a huge difference.
01:37:32
Speaker
um I know it's here. Humanity. Okay, 236.
01:37:46
Speaker
all right um
01:37:50
Speaker
Stains. Humanity only shifts in response to actions with major significance. um Track stains. all right so
01:38:03
Speaker
How many stains does murder do?
01:38:17
Speaker
and your character's humanity, yeah, it's at seven. um So this basically does what's called two stains. So we put two slashes in the empty boxes ah that are on your, you know, I just did it for you, but um two slashes in the empty boxes of humanity. And then I believe if you ever get to that third slash, that's when you'll roll remorse.
01:38:43
Speaker
um ah character with any saints marked on the oh it's at the end of the session okay um
01:38:51
Speaker
What happens if you get more stains than your humanity?
01:39:02
Speaker
I'll look into that later. you know Unless you do something else, that'll do a humanity. It won't happen tonight anyway. but um
01:39:15
Speaker
Just checking. If the character accumulates more stains than they have empty boxes on their humanity track, they become impaired, resulting in a two dice penalty to all pools as they are overcome with regret. In addition, they take one point of willpower damage in this state. Okay. Yeah, so you won't do your remorse check until the end of the session. um Yeah, so you...
01:39:39
Speaker
you do, you know, back in the present, you think back on that moment of taking that guy's life, and how satisfying it was, but also, you just, you know, you killed someone. And that's probably why you're, you know, having these thoughts about your psyche having, you know,
01:39:58
Speaker
like damage to your psyche and all that uh... you know we flashback to the presence and uh... mckale says uh... as i said you'll have to figure out what is right for you uh... perhaps my way of hunting is not the same as yours perhaps uh... perhaps taking the lives uh... taking life is not for you
01:40:26
Speaker
There's nothing wrong with with that. I think anyone would agree. ah
01:40:34
Speaker
But the fact that you feel regret is a good thing. If you want to hold on to what you once were, it's when you no longer can feel regret that you need to start worrying.
01:40:50
Speaker
and um I guess you are hungry. So so he's like, for tonight, what what would you like to do about it? ah your Your hunger. He looks at you and he's like, I can i can see it in your eyes. the Perhaps you've held off on feeding for the past several days because of this fear of damaging your psyche.
01:41:19
Speaker
I have another, if you would like to go down the same path as before, or we can we can do it the way Tiv did it.
01:41:35
Speaker
Or, if you prefer, we can we can go to some club and find some harlot and you can take her home and and and get blood the way the other vampires get blood.
01:41:51
Speaker
I won't... that I keep looking at your character sheet by accident. Yeah, I'm just like, it bounces around. yeah and
01:42:01
Speaker
like i i i feel Following the like the ways of the clan is entirely your choice. I mean, there is an inherent to everything. The vampires feed the way they do because it feels good.
01:42:20
Speaker
So at least I know out of my feeding, I'm doing some good. I'm getting rid of a stain.
01:42:33
Speaker
That is exactly what I see, and how I see it. But that is why I personally hunt only the worst. And I say, I would, do you have someone I'm more than happy to accompany? Okay. ah Frank.
01:42:50
Speaker
Yep, you still here? Okay, ye let me see if I created this person. I don't think I did. um Oh my god, this will be hella- no, I had another plan for this guy. Okay, nevermind, we won't do that.
01:43:06
Speaker
um I was going to make you be Carl. Carl's not that deserving, and also Hayden's fed on Carl before, so um he's not deserving of death. He's making up for his
Introducing the Serial Killer
01:43:20
Speaker
sins. ah I guess I didn't make um the character that I was planning on somebody playing. ah That's fine.
01:43:29
Speaker
um you are a ah You are a man that is very sure of himself. he he is He knows that the world owes him and he takes what he's owed. He's done it several times before. Nobody's been any of the wiser. um And you see something that is yours in front of you. She's been
01:44:00
Speaker
um
01:44:04
Speaker
in your mind taunting you for the past hour with her short skirts and her her tight top and and
01:44:14
Speaker
And I'm not saying you're you're a rapist, we're not doing that. But you are a serial killer. um and Yes, you are a serial killer, although you don't see it that way. You've heard you know you you've heard people refer to what you do as serial killing, but no, you you are getting rid of the harlots of this world. um And this woman sitting across from you, she's a harlot. she She doesn't deserve to live.
01:44:44
Speaker
um you've You've got your syringe and she's already been drinking. It will be easy for you to take the syringe and take her back to your place and do what you do best. If you don't want to play this character, you don't have to.
01:45:05
Speaker
um Sure. well Yeah. um She's out on the dance floor, you know, dancing with anyone who will come up to her.
01:45:18
Speaker
um So I am at the bar. You're at a club. Yeah. I'm at a club. Yeah. um I get a bottle of water or two bottles of water. um I inject one of the bottles through the cap.
01:45:36
Speaker
Uh, and then I dance my way onto the dance floor of next tour. Yeah. Um, I only do like a half dose into the water. Yeah. You are an attractive man and you're very charismatic as most serial killers are. Um, you don't have to roll for anything. We're just doing role play for you. At least not until, you know, there's a combat thing happening like between vampires. Um, so yeah, I dance my way up to her. Um, and so I guess I begin dancing with her.
01:46:05
Speaker
Yeah, she dances with you. She's into it. um Yeah, do you offer her the bottle of water? I offer her the drug bottle of water.
Investigation & Suspicion
01:46:16
Speaker
As you're doing that, um ah Max and Mikhail, you two enter the club. And um Max, go ahead and give me a a awareness plus wits. Yeah.
01:46:35
Speaker
you've You've been shown a photo of this this man.
01:46:44
Speaker
Okay. Would I have a bonus to it for having seen a photo? or ah Sure, take a plus one bonus. So I guess just roll a d10. Oh, you don't want me to regroll? No. Okay.
01:47:03
Speaker
Okay, yeah, you spot the guy, the the the person who you've seen in the photo. he's He's got two bottles of water in his hand. He's dancing with a woman. um You've been shown the evidence. This is his MO. He ah finds Now, McHale doesn't know why he targets the women he does. They are always promiscuous um young women, usually and from clubs and bars. And he takes them home and they're never seen again. McHale has already done most of the work for you. um You know, again, he's he's kind of showing you the ropes to investigating. But he, um you know, in this case, he's already done most of the work.
01:47:51
Speaker
Because you're hungry right now, so he's not trying to make you do all the legwork yet. But he's taking pictures of this man's garage, which is basically fitted out Dexter style. There's a meat grinder that is meticulously
01:48:21
Speaker
spotless uh... but uh... it's certainly suspicious and um... While Mikael has not seen him actually kill anyone, ah these women go back. um you know They leave the club with him, and they are never seen again. um So it seems very certain. And they're like missing questions. Maybe once every month or so this happens. um It's not like an every night thing. But there have been a number of missing women who were last seen with this guy.
01:48:57
Speaker
Um, so you see, he's already talking to a girl. He's already got bottle in hand. Um, and, uh, McHale suspects that he drugs them in some way. Um, McHale makes no move to actually stop him. Um, yet, uh, do you do anything?
01:49:16
Speaker
I guess I lean over to him, and if if we're like in a noticeable place, I talk to him like I'm admiring the women in there. Yeah. um And I say, do we wait until we're more sure, or what do you want to do?
01:49:38
Speaker
if the The choice is yours, but when I hunt, I want to be 100% sure.
01:49:47
Speaker
And the man's dancing and the girl's like been sweating and he offers her the bottle of water. um She takes a swig and then continues dancing. Maybe he has a swig from a separate bottle. The other bottle he's holding.
01:50:11
Speaker
I guess... So is this like a club with like two levels? No, it's a smaller club. it's you know it's like a i It's not the nicest club, that's for sure. it's more of like ah there' There's like the bar and then the dance floor, but it's not very big. um To call it a club is is a long shot, but it calls itself a club. It's a bar. Yeah, um a bar that wants to be a club. but Yeah, I guess I go sit down at and at the bar and in a position where I can watch them. Okay, and and um Serial killer man ah your the plan continues um as if you know, nobody was like you you are able to do your thing.
01:51:01
Speaker
Oh And then I lean over to um Ah, Michael. Yeah. um And I say, hey, what time are we supposed to be home?
01:51:13
Speaker
ah We have a couple hours. Okay, sweet. I don't want the wife mad. Wouldn't want that. Nope. She's had quite a big job interview coming up. Indeed.
01:51:37
Speaker
Yeah, so I guess I just watch until there's noticeable evidence of her starting to, like, get drugged. Serial killer man. Yeah. How does this proceed?
Kidnapping Plan & Execution
01:51:52
Speaker
That's Frank. Oh, me? Yeah. What was the question? How do things proceed? read so ah So I you know injected the bottle of water. I still have the other half. Yeah, she's taking a swig of it from you. if you were um yeah We keep dancing for a little while. And then I'm like, hey, you want to go sit down for a minute? And she does. And then a tint-elating conversation ensues while we drink our water.
01:52:28
Speaker
I go, I would have gotten you a drink, but you look a little hot dehydrated. I thought you might need that. Yeah. And she's like, Oh man, I'm really feeling it. And you know, she's, she's definitely feeling the, the, the effects of this, uh, this drug on top of the fact that she's already been drinking. Yeah.
01:52:46
Speaker
Well, um you know if you want to, we can you know head out, maybe get some fresh air, go for a walk, maybe grab a bite. And she kind of confusedly says something along the lines of, yeah, that that sounds nice.
01:53:01
Speaker
you know
01:53:04
Speaker
This drug probably makes her very suggestible. And I turn to Mikhail and I say, do you want to meet him at home? Mikhail nods.
01:53:17
Speaker
All right. And so I guess we drive to his house. So you guys drive to his house. um Does Frank drive the the the lady home or walk her home or how does it get her home? So my MO is that I take them back to my place and then they're never seen from again. Yeah.
01:53:37
Speaker
Okay. Uh, then I would not differentiate from that. image All right. So we probably go out, get in the car, uh, you know, go get something to eat. Um, I order, maybe we go eat fucking Taco Bell cause it's fucking Taco Bell and she's drunk. So, um, but before she eats her burrito, I injected the other half of the drug into the burrito. Yeah. And by the time you're home, she's, she's probably fully passed out.
01:54:05
Speaker
I get out. Do I notice anything weird around my apartment, like a new vehicle sitting down the wall? Oh, that probably not. Probably would have. Yeah, they probably would have parked. Probably would have a long way away. Yeah. But you, well, presumably they're both using Obfuscate. Which power do you have, Hayden? I have... Because you definitely don't see the other guy, like he's basically invisible.
01:54:33
Speaker
um Which one did I take? here let me Where can I see that? would be here You have the silence of death. So that makes you silent. It doesn't make you invisible. um So go ahead and just give me a um stealth plus dexterity roll. with Does that give you a bonus? Let me see.
01:55:07
Speaker
I can't remember if obfuscate in general gives you a bonus. um
01:55:19
Speaker
That doesn't give you a bonus, but Silence of Death. ah
01:55:31
Speaker
No, that wouldn't give you a bonus. It just makes you completely undetectable by sound. um To this role, to just being seen, it doesn't give you a bonus. So um yeah, go ahead and roll your stealth.
01:55:45
Speaker
Damn it. Well, it's a success, zero successes. And let me make let me just look at that and make sure it rolled the dice. It didn't roll any dice.
01:55:59
Speaker
No, oh, yeah, I did. It rolled down. Wait, oops, I accidentally hit it on hide. Oh, it didn't roll any dice. So try again. It should be stealth plus dexterity. Is that what you did? Yeah, stealth plus dexterity.
01:56:18
Speaker
Oh, I don't know what happened the first time. One success. um Yeah, it should show the dice markers, right? It did this time, yeah. Yeah, I did this time, but the first time I really didn't. I'm not sure what happened the first time. That's odd. One success.
01:56:39
Speaker
i
01:56:43
Speaker
ah Yeah, you'd notice a guy kind of, ah you know, across the street. um doing something he's he's maybe a little you don't recognize the guy um with one success I say I'll say his stealth is being enough that it's like not super suspicious but there is a guy outside um not hes he's trying to like he's not super paying close attention to you as far as you can tell me yeah um
01:57:17
Speaker
Is it a townhouse? Is it an apartment complex? Is it a home? It's a home. You've got a stand-alone garage. Got a big garage. Okay, I pull into the garage and close the garage door. Okay. How long have I been doing this for? A long time. Okay. McHale does nothing. He watches Max to see what Max does.
01:57:45
Speaker
Does this house like have any windows or anything like that? The garage probably has the typical garage door windows on the door itself, but I would say that's it. And they're probably blacked out. yeah They are.
01:58:12
Speaker
Yeah, I guess I walk around. In you don't even you can't even see McHale right now. so Yeah. i I walk around. um Does this house have cameras on it? Since this is 2023. I would imagine there are probably some cameras. Yeah. But I don't pop up on cameras, right? um No, you do.
01:58:41
Speaker
Or is it mirrors? No, that's Cole who doesn't show up in that kind of stuff. oh Yeah, you have to stealth the old-fashioned way. and yeah Although right now he certainly can't hear you because you are so silent as death.
01:59:06
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I guess...
01:59:09
Speaker
I walk up to a side of the house that has a has a window or something like that. To the house? It's a standalone garage. Oh, it's a standalone garage? Yeah. Oh, okay.
01:59:23
Speaker
um
01:59:26
Speaker
there's like no or There's obviously a separate door, right? Yeah, there's a regular door leading in, and then of course the the car door. I would say it's probably large enough to fit two vehicles.
01:59:38
Speaker
Based on the pictures that you've seen, though, um ah the it's a pretty sparse garage. that There was no car in it when the pictures were taken. um the There's like a um you know a workbench, um concrete floor. ah The meat grinder is off in the corner. There's you know your basic tools like hammers, saws, maybe some power tools, things like that as well.
02:00:06
Speaker
um not there. There was some photos of like a pretty good knife collection hidden in one of the drawers. I may not hidden but just you know tucked away in one of the drawers.
02:00:24
Speaker
and i I guess I say to my sire, or my grandsire, I say, I guess unfortunately to be 100% sure we have to make sure the thing actually happens. He does not respond. um In fact, you you don't know where he is, you can't see him. Or hear him, so. Yeah.
02:00:56
Speaker
I guess I would go like close enough to the the garage where like the cameras wouldn't be picking me up, but I'd be like close enough. Yeah, I mean, I'll say they are just normal household cameras, one directional. um Usually those cameras face the the doors. um Well, yeah, I guess they would face the doors. so That's unfortunate, but yeah.
02:01:20
Speaker
um
02:01:29
Speaker
and i like to hear anything going on side frank what is the serial killer doing in size uh... so if you look in the window are you looking at one of our animals i'm just standing very quietly you can decide what you're actually doing um because i don't know so what you would you need to know here uh... you would hear the garage door progress toward the uh...
02:01:57
Speaker
door open and then close on the car and then another door open and close the car. Um, the sound of another door opening and closing. Is it, I'm guessing it's a single car garage or two car garage. It's a two car garage. Um, but there's only one car in there. Well, if you're, you know, um, so you hear the sound of another door opening and closing, but it's not the door out of the house or out of the garage. Um,
02:02:26
Speaker
And then probably what sounds like plastic sheeting moving. um And then just some fiddling with stuff. A light turns on in the main house. um Max, you see this. ah And um a woman steps out the front door. She's kind of wearing like just her nightgown and um shouts out, Han, is that you? You home?
02:02:53
Speaker
and this yeah Yes darling, I just got back. Okay, just just so you know, dinner dinner's in the ah in the microwave for you. I'm gonna go take a bath. Okay, I'll be in in a minute. And she closes the door. yeah She never bothers you in the garage. She knows that's your your like your man cave.
02:03:19
Speaker
And you go go back to your business.
02:03:26
Speaker
So more plastic sheets, ah crinkling, then you hear the sound of duct tape. Yeah, so Max, you're hearing all of this. Some duct tape like being pulled off of the strip off the roll and then ripping.
02:03:44
Speaker
um and Then you sound you hear what sounds like a knife being sharpened. oh And then you'd hear me like take inhale like I possibly just cut myself on accident. And then a ah slight giggle. I'm going to have fun tonight.
02:04:11
Speaker
But first, pizza rolls.
Confrontation & Rescue
02:04:17
Speaker
I exit and I go up to the house. OK, so that happens.
02:04:28
Speaker
um I guess, so like I watch them walk out of the garage and go into the house. Yeah. Okay. I guess stealthing into the garage. Okay, you do that um material separately. and you can um no I don't think you need to stealth into the garage. Your one success is enough to avoid a ah basic household camera. Okay. So I get in the garage and what do I see?
02:04:59
Speaker
and Are you going to break the lock? No. I, of course, lock the doors. Okay. um You get in and you see a Dexter-esque plastic sheeting setup with a girl tied to or a duct to a chair unconscious.
02:05:29
Speaker
Your sire is nowhere to be found. i what's um Is there anything in the car? Like how big of a car is this? Like a normal... It's a four-door sedan.
02:05:47
Speaker
um I'm very good looking. I'm guessing I've got a relatively decent job. So let's go with a charger. That's a four-door, right? Depends. I think so. I think they have a four option. Yeah, so it's a charter. There's probably some unmentionables in the car and some clothes. And the girl in the chair is naked.
02:06:16
Speaker
and So the way that you walk would walk into the garage, how's the car face to you? um so Entering from the side door, ah the car would probably be right next to the side door. You'd be approaching the driver's side. so like You extremely close to the door. so you
02:06:40
Speaker
It's a two-car garage. so like There's probably maybe three feet of space between the the wall and the car. okay And so everything else, the murders scene is on the opposite side. Other side, yeah. um You do see a fridge. I'm pretty sure you saw a fridge over there. I opened the fridge. um There's like some some beer. ah If you open the freezer, there's there seems to be an absorbent amount of meat. Oh, God. Processed meat. Yeah.
02:07:24
Speaker
Processed me. Yeah, like hot dog or sausages and like it's like an individually wrapped like saran wrap like things um How big is this freezer Is it really small? I'm thinking it's going to be like a fridge over or freezer over fridge type ah double door. Oh, I was thinking like a deep freeze. Yeah, I was kind of hitching one of those like, yeah, stand-alone deep freezes, but if that's what you want, it's cool either way. I mean, it would make sense to have a deep freezer. Yeah, fuck it, it's a deep freezer. Just stop it. Can I fit in the deep freezer?
02:08:09
Speaker
um There might be enough space in there for you. Wrong. ah I don't see why not. And it's not a deep freezer that will lock me in? um It does have a lock on it, but it is not currently locked.
02:08:29
Speaker
Who has a lock on their freezer? A serial a serial killer. i Yeah, sure. um Doesn't have a lock on it. Yeah, I guess I get in the freezer and a make sure it doesn't, like, lock on me. Right next to the frozen bag of peas. I imagine it would have to be in one of the, like, just a lock that, like, you have to... You had to put in yourself. Yeah, so it it wouldn't automatically lock. It's probably like a... Is there a lock nearby? Is the padlock nearby? I grab... Yes. Well, where is it?
02:09:05
Speaker
um Probably next like on the table next to the freezer.
02:09:14
Speaker
I grab it. Okay. And I get in the freezer. um i come back out of or I come back out of the house and go back down.
02:09:28
Speaker
and um I'm carrying about a half full bag of frozen pizza rolls and my plate of food. and Okay.
02:09:41
Speaker
um And I plop the the plate of food down on top of the freezer and I kind of just hop on it and start much on the pizza rolls. Literally. literally
02:09:55
Speaker
And then unless ah Max does something while you eat, you finish eating. Fast forward. I'm like, that was good. I hop off, put my plate off to the side. um I go to open the freezer to toss the the frozen the half frozen or half full frozen bag of pizza rolls in the fridge in the freezer. And then I hear the girl making noise. And so I only made it about halfway open.
02:10:25
Speaker
And I just kind of toss it in there. And then slam it in the face. flat and And then close the freezer and walk over. Ah, you're finally awake.
02:10:38
Speaker
Did you close the freezer or did you leave it open? and i' I'm not wasting electricity like that. I made a money. You're fucking dead. she is She is gagged. Okay, yeah, she's struggling. Well, she's confusedly like looking around, I guess.
02:10:54
Speaker
and kind of you know you can hear the her muffled like like noises of alarm i knew from the moment i saw you that you were going to be my next one see i i tend to and then i go into like a spiel of yeah how i was abused the child and and you know um how yeah Once I was old enough, I did the same thing to my mother and then I targeted people that are similar build to my mother. but Because as we all know, most serial killers have mommy issues. Or Melissa.
02:11:33
Speaker
or melia yeah um And um if nothing else happens, I proceed to start slicing her very gently as a butcher might. Yeah, once you start toying with her, that's when I get out, when I hear, like, anguished dreams. Yeah. But, like, I probably see through a vampire fast. And none of these are are lethal slices?
02:11:58
Speaker
No, they're all just, you know, skinning the prey before you butcher it. Like actually skinning? Or just a little cutting? Oh, okay. um I'm going to need to make a roll real quick. Then that's lethal. It's i not immediately lethal. I'm not trying to do her whole body at the same time. I mean... Wow.
02:12:27
Speaker
Well, yeah, I mean I would have popped out too once as I heard that Yeah, he okay. Nothing happens on my end. So um So I'm probably facing away from the freezer while I'm doing this. Yeah um And I'm just I'm just cutting away he is completely I probably I probably would have I probably would have put on some tunes Yeah, he's completely silent as well, so um you can't hear him. You have no role unless you you know happen to turn that way. Yeah, and my my action since I went and have known what he was doing is when I heard that I would have opened up the freezer, used my super speed, and had the lock in my fist, and I would have clocked you so hard in the head. All right. ah The saw in the plane is Brandenburg Concerto.
02:13:20
Speaker
ah Number five. So give me a roll plus arms strength, string ah which you're not, you know, amazing at. Nope.
02:13:34
Speaker
or And you can't give my own little speech. You can always rouse. Yeah. yeah you You could give your own speech if you want.
Consequences & Next Steps
02:13:42
Speaker
What is your protean? Oh, eyes of the beast. Okay. You can see in the dark.
02:13:47
Speaker
um Wait, so you gave a speech on how you're abused as a kid and that's why you have people that look like your mom Yes, like my mother, you know, like would torture me and pour me out to old ladies and Put cigarettes out on me and things of that nature
02:14:09
Speaker
I guess that's when I pop out and I say, it's kind of weird that you go after hot women that look like your mom. You liked your mom? Are you yelling this? Because it's pretty freaking loud. What do you mean? Box. Box Concierto. I'm sorry, Brandenburg Concierto number five. It's like blasting. Isn't it like 2 a.m. when she get like dramatically calls when max i have the garage store some of the dramatic leonard max i guess you would have to turn this shit out like i've been doing well then i guess if it's that loud on my own room and i'm radically dramatically when uh... max opens it's in that is part of a some that part of where it's dying down one of the the radio uh... is it a is it a is it like a uh... this is a digital thing or is this a record this is a record
02:15:05
Speaker
Oh yeah, you hear the scratch of the record being turned off right when Max starts to speak, starts to speak.
02:15:13
Speaker
And I say, I say, you just hear, um, were you attracted to your mom because she's kind of hot? I, I just kind of look at him flabbergasted like, who the hell are you? What are you doing here? Um,
02:15:36
Speaker
And I and say, I know what you are. You're a monster. We're all monsters, my friend. I'm just making... What? Nothing, i'm just with I'm sending him whispers.
02:15:58
Speaker
um
02:16:03
Speaker
We're all monsters. whether whether it's skin deep or not, and then I rip like the the piece of skin I'm working on off of the her arm, and I throw it at you. And and then then I want to like who to grow all of this girl. What do you mean? Okay. ah So you're killing her? Yeah. Okay, well, before you can do that, I use my super speed.
02:16:32
Speaker
Well, you don't actually have super speed. You've got rapid reflexes. So you can react to this and you can roll. um Yeah, i I'll do that. yeah You can basically roll. You can perceive things with superhuman speed.
02:16:50
Speaker
but And I guess I'll... that So what is my reaction? What it what would my reaction be then? ah That's up to you. You can, you can, you know, tackle him. You could shoot him. You could, you know, whatever you want to do.
02:17:03
Speaker
um
02:17:06
Speaker
I mean, if he has a soundproofed and, well, no, he gags his victims. To be fair, fasting it couldn't have been soundproof because you heard noises from outside.
02:17:19
Speaker
I assume that was like vampire hearing is why I assume heard that we can go with that. right Technicality, yeah.
02:17:34
Speaker
I guess I will... I guess I'll shoot. well that's not how we do attack roles in this but first we have to see Hayden's attack or whatever he does I'll shoot okay so firearms plus I recently looked it up it's actually firearms plus composure which is actually better for you any modifiers um no okay that's
02:18:11
Speaker
You, with superhuman speed, um do this because it's a messy critical. um And with, yeah, being that it's a messy critical, I think... Can I have a silence during my pistol? Is that a thing?
02:18:23
Speaker
you wouldn't randomly have a silencer, no. Yeah, that's true. Silencers are a thing and can be purchased, but they do not work like most TV shows, movies, and things like that. Yeah. They're traded. Considering it's a messy critical, I'm going to say that you both, using your nice rapid reflexes and messy critical vampirism, you both shoot the knife out of his hand and And the time it takes to fire one bullet, you fire two. You shoot the knife out of his hand arm and shoot him square in the forehead.
02:19:01
Speaker
oh okay ah and like And that's when you also notice your sire stops mid-swing because he was about to cut the man in half because he thought you were going to be too slow.
02:19:16
Speaker
And I guess like while he's doing that, I run over to the girl and see like i and look at her and try to like calm her down because you know that just happened. Yeah, she's she's kind of, of course, freaking out. um A good chunk of her face skin is just gone. Yeah.
02:19:39
Speaker
um your Your sire ah starts to, you know, kind of put away, he puts away his sword, striking this back up, um looks at the man on the ground. um You know, unfortunately, this man is dead. You could possibly harvest some of his blood like right now, and it'd still be good for you, but it won't be good for long. um Yeah, I guess I asked my sire, can you take this girl to safety?
02:20:09
Speaker
he said He says, yeah, he nods and says, meet me back at your place. And then he takes the girl, um you know, takes his time like cutting her, you know, bonds loose and grabs like, you know, a jacket or something or like ah one of those, like, um those aprons, that a shop apron, and and you know, kind of drapes it over her and then blinks out, like, you know, in a flash they're both on.
02:20:38
Speaker
um I guess I start feeding. Yeah. Cause he's dead. You can only get one point of blood from him. Um, but you know, that's better than being a three.
02:20:51
Speaker
So that will put you. You hear the door behind you open. Okay. What's happening now? wife simpson Honey, are you okay? I heard it last day. I'm fine with this. Actually. Um, kind of what I was going to make happen. She does scream.
02:21:11
Speaker
um I can't do a hyper scurly scream. Neither can I. she She lets out a scream and turns to start to run.
02:21:22
Speaker
God damn it, I don't have any forget-me powers. Nope. Should totally invite me on this trip. No, I don't have one either. Do you? I think Bill has it. Bill definitely has it. And I think Jayden also took that power.
02:21:37
Speaker
um I do have the compel. You've got compel and you might have enough experience points to buy that power if that's a power you want to buy. um
02:21:49
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know how to buy a point or like buy anything or whatnot. We can talk about that in a minute because I figure we'll wrap it up here in a minute.
02:22:00
Speaker
Yeah, you've just got Compel Frank. I'm going to move your sheet for a second to your XP. You probably have enough experience. You've got 17 points. It's a clan discipline. You would need 10 points to get the second level power if you wanted.
02:22:19
Speaker
So yeah yeah, I mean, if you wanted to buy that, you could, but you could also spend it on other things. you did Obviously you don't know that he is in need of such a thing right now. Right. I'm just saying he should have invited me. Or somebody. I did. My sire. That's true. Yeah, and you sent him away.
02:22:41
Speaker
So she was using her phone as a flashlight to get down to the garage. She has her phone out, she's running away. She's trying to call 911.
02:22:51
Speaker
Did she get a good look at me? Probably not. Probably not? No. I lick the wound and I'm running. Okay. Yeah, that's fine.
Cover-up Plan & Technical Assistance
02:23:03
Speaker
And yeah, we'll leave that to be resolved by the police. You run off. Do you like exit through the garage door again? I mean, it would catch the backside of his head if you're talking cameras.
02:23:20
Speaker
Well, no, I'm saying does it lead to like the side door or the door she left through or? Side door, the door she left through. Are there two doors? Yeah. You said, I thought there was one door. I'm imagining two doors. There's the main garage door and then there's a regular door. Yeah, two doors. Yeah. She would have come in the regular door. Yeah.
02:23:46
Speaker
I'm saying, dar was was there a camera pointing over the bay door like at the door itself, they would be report pointing like, you know, outwards to see people walking up. Yeah. Would the ah bay door have a camera over it? Did I see that? It's probably got like two cameras on the corners, you know, kind of pointing towards the driveway type of deal. So either way, I'm boosted.
02:24:13
Speaker
I mean, again, like I said, it would catch the back of your head. um ah Actually, before that, I just super, wait, do I have super strength or no? Is that ability you have to buy? You don't have super strength, no. Damn it.
02:24:32
Speaker
um Were these like, ah Give me a um awareness plus wits.
02:24:42
Speaker
yeah awareness plus weights
02:24:50
Speaker
um okay ah You think you could avoid the cameras outside? like It wouldn't be that hard. um You already avoided them coming inside. You just go back the way that you you went. Okay.
02:25:04
Speaker
um But since cameras are on your mind, I will say that you do know Cole, and you do remember the incidents with um cameras in the past. And Cole is skilled at deleting such incidents. But um you know you think you've avoided the cameras. ah I mean, what I would have done is I would have just broke it off the ah the wall and then thrown it.
02:25:36
Speaker
You can do that too, yeah. I mean, that wouldn't require super strength to do. Have you ever tapped one of those cameras with your broom? All the time. Yeah, they're not very strong. Yeah, so I would have grabbed it off the wall and have thrown it and then ran. Yeah, okay. what's the What's the weird white colored one that is held on by a magnet? Is that Nest?
02:26:02
Speaker
I'm not sure I can't remember what brand name that is but I was freaking I was sleeping in Eve one time and I wasn't even close to it but I was like bumping the Eve trying to get a dirt bummer off and it fell off the wall I spent like probably 15 minutes trying to get back up there just by putting it on my broom and just like getting it near the magnet it was upside down but it it was back up there yeah I've definitely done stuff like that
02:26:35
Speaker
All right, yeah. That's why I break out the camera and run. So that's probably where we're going to end at least your part, unless I'm not sure what else to have Cole do at the moment, because originally I was planning on doing like a Hayden focused episode anyway, um and then changed my mind, and then Bill wasn't able to come. And so I didn't want to do like the full regular episode I was going to do tonight.
02:27:02
Speaker
So this kind of became a Hayden, mostly episode anyway, um which was my original plan. So maybe next time we'll do a Frank episode, since Jaden- I didn't even get talk to my sire. Yeah, we'll we'll have you talk to your sire in um and the next episode. like It'll be a more Frank focused episode. here Now, do you want to call Cole or anything like that, or or go talk to your sire? I mean, if you're just going straight back to your sire, we'll save that.
02:27:32
Speaker
Yeah. But I would also tell Cole, too. So Cole, you get a ah phone call from Max. You might be thinking this is to do with that a appointment you know that whole thing about talking to a sire. I answer it. And I go, what? And I go, hey, it's been a while since we talked. How are you?
02:28:01
Speaker
i'm I'm fine. Well, I just... I just did something. um Can you delete cameras at all? can Can I delete cameras at all? Camera footage. Sorry. Can you delete cameras? Can you delete camera footage?
02:28:28
Speaker
What type of information do you need for that? ah to delete camera footage. um Brand name, whether it's cloud storage or server backup, location, IP address. It was just one of those things that ah was,
02:28:52
Speaker
it was probably cloud storage honestly.
02:28:58
Speaker
Okay, do you have an IP address or address or anything like that? I have an address. All right. Something that happened is cops are probably going to be there again. What'd you do? Killed someone. ah Okay. um Why?
02:29:24
Speaker
He deserved it.
02:29:28
Speaker
He was carving up a girl. Oh, okay, that makes sense. All right, give me a minute. I just, ah. Fucking Fucking voices. Fucking voices. Get out of my head! Frank, or not Frank. What's your third gen at Cole? And I go, Cole, what's going on?
02:29:56
Speaker
it's I'm fine. it's it's It's fine. Are you sure? and i I don't mean to persuade you to tell me, but this is more of a... I'm gonna do a persuasion and charisma to like more of like, I'm here if you need to talk. Because you sounded super freaked out. It's it's nothing. it's
02:30:30
Speaker
That just means how sincere I was, I guess.
02:30:36
Speaker
Is that very sincere or is that not very sincere? I see one in success. It's a three success sincerity. Oh, so he seems somewhat six sincere. What would that be considered? Yeah, I mean, yeah, you are sincere, so. I guess that's how well he perceives it, yeah. Perceives it. it's So I would say with that, that's you know that's kind of a medium success. You can decide how effective that is considering the things going on in Cole's life right now. i'm I'm just under a lot of stress right now. i i mean um I'm just, it's it's nothing. i'm I'm working on it.
02:31:25
Speaker
All right. You do think this might be a good distraction for you, you know, get the voices out of your head? Yeah. um I need to do a technology plus intelligence?
02:31:42
Speaker
For the hacking attempt? Well, I mean, he wasn't able to get you all that information. He really only knows the address. that the guy lives this may be a hey yeah it could take me a little while to take to to pick out did you get a name you do have his name which yeah i i give you like all a permission you have all the information we had on this guy. You've got his name and address for sure. I don't think you'd have his phone number, um but ah that you know you can like literally just look at the house and
Closing Credits
02:32:17
Speaker
know the address. but yeah You know his name for sure.
02:32:20
Speaker
um And the name and and address, I can probably find. Do we have any... No, that won't help. It'll take me a while. Oh, maybe. Do we have any, like, incoming text seven evidence from him? Nah, he didn't get that kind of stuff. um This might be a... This is for Cole. This might be one of those things where he might have to go and tamper with the camera itself. Yeah. Well, I mean, if...
02:32:50
Speaker
If I can get his name and his address, I can probably spoof his home server if I can get into the, uh... The fiber in it? Well, no. If I can, like... And Max, you're noticing, like, as he's, like, talking to himself about this, he its he's starting to sound like the old Cole, you know, now that he's got a project on his mind.
02:33:22
Speaker
And I say this because you're legitimately starting to sound like the old coal, so... Yeah. Okay, I can probably find... No, that's not gonna work. Okay, what about... Yeah, okay. I just, like, stay on the phone. I have just forgotten you, and I'm just talking aloud while I'm attempting this. Oh, that was a technology rule. Three successes. Hmm.
02:33:51
Speaker
I think you're able to... I'm gonna say, so with three successes, um you're able to figure out that this guy's ah security on his firewall and stuff is more than the average person.
02:34:10
Speaker
Well, either I need to take a wall trying to hack into his firewall, which is absorbentantly more difficult than it should be, or I need to be physically there to have access.
02:34:22
Speaker
I'll head that way right now. Be careful, man. There's a girl screaming because her husband just got shot in the head. Are you fucking kidding me? I i have a buddy that might work at the... Maybe I can get with... Okay, I'll figure it out.
02:34:46
Speaker
And I think that's where we're going to end the episode for tonight, because I've got ideas for this, but I need time to come up with them. um And that seems like a nice good cliffhanger to and off end on.
02:34:59
Speaker
um
02:35:02
Speaker
that That was tonight's session. I was your storyteller, Ron Bjork. We had with me playing Cole. Jayden. Yeah, Jayden was here.
02:35:14
Speaker
um ah You can find him on a cruise ship in the ocean. Somewhere is in the South Pacific. Is that where his cruise is? I don't know. I have no fucking clue. In some body of water on a cruise ship somewhere ah by the time you're listening to this long in the past, probably. Unless he's still there.
02:35:35
Speaker
hope That would be weird, but, you know, stranger things have happened with cruise ships. You get lost at sea, or it breaks down. Bill, you can find him in a strange, um frightening ah house seemingly in the wilderness, but it's actually like, you know, not that far from civilization. It's still pretty good distance from civilization. Yeah, it's a bit of a drive, I guess.
02:36:03
Speaker
And i mean at least like a good eight minutes. Yeah. And then ah Frank. Hi. I was Frank. I mean, I am Frank. I was Cole. I played a serial killer today and myself being crazy. Yay. I'm a sleepy boy. And Hayden. You can find me. oh Well, no, I guess you can't find me. And Hayden.
02:36:34
Speaker
Hey, I played someone who's trying to be the Nightwing to Batman. We shall find out how that goes. I had a lot of fun tonight.
