Heidi's Raptor Transformation
00:00:19
Speaker
Heidi steps out and like she's usually the first one out. Right. where She's just like, let's go. um And so she's like looking around and she didn't realize that Odi had changed yet. so she's looking around and then she looks back. like Oh, geez.
00:00:38
Speaker
I apologize. Dead. gotta tell me when you're doing that. I'm actually gonna curiously go back into the picture core here. So this would count as what kind of disguise?
00:00:52
Speaker
This is a medium disguise. So because it's it's basically, so these raptors are not much larger than or Idy, but you are turning into a different different creature.
00:01:03
Speaker
So I would say this is one whole charge, one whole charge. One whole auxiliary crystal for this kind of change. Yeah. So it's kind of a heavy hitter.
Finalizing the Raptor Disguise
00:01:12
Speaker
All right. And so she's she's going to like shoot. She goes back to her antenna.
00:01:18
Speaker
And so she's like scrolling through. ah And then she goes over and she she's like does the same thing again where she waves her hand over ah over OD. You have to play her code though.
00:01:29
Speaker
It's a shortcut. What are you doing? She's just scanning. And so like she's scanning him and then it goes, okay, there it is. i don't have search for it. Gotcha. Okay.
00:01:40
Speaker
Cause she's. Yeah. There's a lot of animals. Only one dominant animal. Yep. So then she's like, okay, cool. Um, And you can see here, she's like messing with this little little screen for like a while.
00:01:54
Speaker
Miss Heidi, do you need assistance? No, I'm trying to, I'm just finalizing the colors of my feathers. Hold on. And she like kind of looks up at Odie. No, that's not.
00:02:05
Speaker
Okay. right. Almost done. And okay.
Feedback on the New Look
00:02:10
Speaker
She pushes the button and she is now a similar looking ah raptor to Odie.
00:02:21
Speaker
She's blue though with her spots and her feathers are kind of what they like they have pink tips. Interesting. And she says, ah what do think? And, uh, Oye looks at you and, uh, he says, you look like you're from the jungle.
00:02:36
Speaker
They are much more flamboyantly colored than the plains raptors. Oh. Is that gonna be a problem? Do they hate each other? No, you are just very, very far away from home.
00:02:49
Speaker
Well,
Adapting to the Raptor Form
00:02:50
Speaker
heh. Yeah. Now to see how this goes. Okay. She's like, she thinks about it. He didn't really say that was going to be an issue. so Yeah. like you you just He also didn't say what exactly they were going to do. yeah you're just You're just playing around. Yeah. Okay. You're just having fun. So this is weird because I got tiny hands now.
00:03:13
Speaker
Yes, but Odie takes... like There's actually like a small tree next to him. And he uses his jaws to clamp down one of the branches that are is sticking out. And ah he says, these raptors are very, very skilled tool users. and he He doesn't actually say that because his mouth is full.
00:03:32
Speaker
And he takes that stick and he... Jams into the dirt and starts sketching out a picture of a raptor. And he's a fairly decent artist. ah Like, he actually draws out a fairly decent depiction of a raptor in the dirt.
00:03:47
Speaker
I gotta to use my mouth? Yes, that's that's how they Like an ant. Oh. that Right. but You are an animal. this is This is the weirdest thing that I've been so far.
00:04:01
Speaker
yeah And there was that there was that time where we had to be those giant amoebas. And that was really weird. But this
Encounter with Cricket
00:04:10
Speaker
takes the cake. And she, like, goes... Alright, so, let's...
00:04:14
Speaker
Let's check this lens out. And she's like, she can't. really No, you can't. like You don't have, like, tiny itty bitty arms. They're still, like... But they're still small. they're small. We can still do your thing. Okay. It's just, it's not, it's awkward. It's awkward because, like, you know it's there.
00:04:30
Speaker
You can kind of see it, but, like, it's no one else can really tell you. Yeah. And she's like, okay, this... I only got, what, three fingers? What is this?
00:04:42
Speaker
Um, alright. So she's like... You're not always going to have available appendages, Miss Heidi. Yeah, I get... Yeah, alright. Um, and she's... Nope, damn it.
00:04:55
Speaker
Damn, nope, damnmit damn it. Damn claws getting in the way. um hopefully a screen is scratch resistant getting rapture claws great across the surface well she's pushing the buttons not touching the screen it's not a touch screen yet okay so let's try this and she produces a rock like a like a bigger rock so not like a one foot Rock, because that would make a different size class for this mechanic.
00:05:25
Speaker
Actually, no, yeah. I mean, that's a pretty big rock. Mm-hmm. Yeah. No, that's just... No, she's going bigger. Okay. so you're using up two charges? She's going to go and make the biggest rock that she can. Okay, so what size class are you going for here?
00:05:41
Speaker
Are you going... She's going for... it is tiny, small, big, large. Okay. Yeah, she's going for large. Oh, fuck me. So you have to describe to me how big is this rock because you can you can summon very large objects, but it's going to...
00:05:57
Speaker
Consume a lot of energy. Well, yeah, she knows this. she's she's she What she's trying to do is trying to assess how much energy is... She's got to feel it out, right? Right, yeah. Like, Odie can't necessarily explain it to her because that's not really a thing you can explain.
00:06:18
Speaker
Like, oh, yeah, this uses this much. You have to get fuel for it. How big is this rock? oh it's wise How many feet do you think? Let's go four feet. Okay. In diameter. In diameter. Okay. ah so Let me.
00:06:32
Speaker
I almost said four foot radius, but that's too big. Seven. Okay. Yeah. So that's going charge you seven
Cricket's Struggle and Aspirations
00:06:40
Speaker
seven charges there, ma'am. Okay, so, she, this giant four foot diameter rock, which she can't pick up because she has little arms.
00:06:54
Speaker
It just drops to the ground. With a big thud. A very big thud. It actually causes the ground like to shudder a little bit. She hops up on top of it. yeah And Odie says, ah, well, um so where is your power at right now?
00:07:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I wanted to to see. And I know. Yes. oh OK. I know you're having fun, but ah I would keep a close eye on how much power you are using.
00:07:27
Speaker
Yeah, no, I have a little um subroutine that is that does that. So I'm. And she like stops and where did learn subroutine? Yeah.
00:07:40
Speaker
And, uh, you hear, like, almost like squawking off in the woods. Like, it sounds like a bird in distress. And you hear, crowd's shut! What was that? Hello? Uh-oh.
00:07:51
Speaker
Uh, shit. What do we do? Uh, just... Do not tell me to act normal. I don't know how to act. Just keep quiet. Um... Should we see where this voice came from? Why are you asking You're the one.
00:08:08
Speaker
and You hear this voice speak up again. And ah it says, is anyone there? Hello? Hello? Help me, please. And Idy, like, just hangs her head. Oh, gosh.
00:08:22
Speaker
They had to say that, didn't they? And looks over at Ody. And, uh, like, he he's, like, keep quiet, and, uh, like, this this other voice is like, I heard voices, please, please, is someone there? You're gonna want to help them, aren't you?
00:08:37
Speaker
I... We could at least go see what's wrong. Alright, let's go. uh, yeah, so he leads you, like, you're kind like, creeping through these, like, bushes and this, like, undergrowth.
00:08:50
Speaker
Oh, wait, hold on a second. How many did it cost for the raptor disguise? It was one, I believe. Yeah, one. One whole crystal. So three. You have three charges. Okay.
00:09:03
Speaker
You have one whole cell that's dead and one that's three charges used or three uses of it. That makes any sense. I get it. You come to this, not very big, but clearing is just like a space between a couple of trees. And you hear this ah voice from above you.
00:09:21
Speaker
You just hear us say, oh, oh thank you, ancestors. And you're not from my clan. that That's even better. And you look up and there is a raptor hanging from a tree from one of its feet by a rope, essentially.
00:09:34
Speaker
It says, can you can you please get me down? i i don't know what happened. There was some kind of... You stepped on a trap, didn't you? No, I was setting my trap and the ground shook. It it triggered it. I don't know what happened. What happened?
00:09:48
Speaker
That's even worse. You triggered your own trap? It wasn't me. The ground shook. There's some kind of quake or something. Did you do you guys feel it? No. as She like looks at Odie like, no, we didn't feel anything. Okay.
00:10:04
Speaker
Oh, by the way, we should mention that this is all being translated for listeners' sake. Yeah, they don't talk. Yeah, they don't talk. What is actually coming out is this is like clicks and chirps and... I think we discussed the universal translator. Yeah, so...
00:10:22
Speaker
Just to give everyone... can't have an entire episode of squawking. Right. just it doesn as well It doesn't work. We could, but I was outvoted. And I don't know how that happens with two people, but um just I just want to paint a picture. That's what's happening. So just, yeah.
00:10:39
Speaker
Now, we didn't we didn't feel anything. Would you you please help me down, please? Yes. And then I'm going to show you how to set a trap without wait triggering it. You don't... You're a trap maker?
00:10:51
Speaker
she stops for a second is like, oh wait, um, and she mentally, uh, asks Odie, like, are the jungle ones trap makers? It depends on what profession you pursue.
00:11:05
Speaker
Um, yeah. Okay. Um, not by not by trade, but I did learn, I did apprentice under a trap maker for a while, but I decided it wasn't exactly for me, but,
00:11:21
Speaker
I was pretty good at it. So anyway, yeah. Just hold on. And she, like, kind of goes up to the tree and, like, looks up and then... Yeah, like, why don't you, to um... Why don't you roll me kind of like a perception-ish check? Like, to see what you... yo look his You know, You've never seen
Shared Experiences and Family Expectations
00:11:40
Speaker
a trap quite like this before?
00:11:42
Speaker
it's like It's a classic trap. Well, that's a six, so... Okay. I mean...
00:11:48
Speaker
It's not like any trap you've seen me before, because like you you see this raptor's hoisted by one of its legs like at least 10 feet in the And like you see her trying to like curl herself up and like get at this this rope that's around her ankle, but she can't really get it.
00:12:02
Speaker
But you you know... have booby traps and stuff for your place. right So like you're kind of aware of the style of trap, but you can't really tell where...
00:12:14
Speaker
this raptor has fastened the other end of it you're kind of looking for that but like where you suspect it might be it's not there all right so i'm like looking all over i'm like um looks at the tree looks at her small arms looks out of her feet how this is a really big around tree it's a big tree yeah like opens her mouth and like ah okay um Okay, I'm going to get you down. Just, you have to close your eyes.
00:12:46
Speaker
ah but what Why? um Because if you fall with your eyes open, you're you're liable to get something in there. Why don't you roll to persuade her?
00:13:01
Speaker
ah She's a little bit panicked, so she's kind of desperate, but... general Five! i don't get I don't get why I have to close my eyes. I mean, I have to understand. and What like are are you doing? oh Well... Odie steps in ah and ah he's like, ah Pleasant greetings, friend. what ah Where have you fastened the other end of your trap?
00:13:32
Speaker
And ah this little raptor looks down at him and ah and ah she says, Are you both trap makers? Wow, this is my lucky day.
00:13:43
Speaker
um it's It's behind the tree a little ways. I covered it up. And, like, it's a ways. Like, it's actually further back. So you suspect that, like, maybe she set this trap. She set it with, like,
00:13:57
Speaker
Like, whatever she's trying to trap is either very large or is very, very, like, keen on hearing. So she she placed it a different like a ways away. So, like, this prey she's trying to trap would not suspect, you know, where the the trap is.
00:14:13
Speaker
And she said, if you just cut me down carefully, carefully, please. So is the other end of the rope somewhere that's accessible? Yeah, like, no now she told you where it is. oh Like, it's it's, like, in some bushes.
00:14:26
Speaker
But it is tied to a, ah almost like a post that she put in the ground. That's, like, the remnants of a dead tree. So it's, like, it's it's in there pretty good. So she, like, gives Odie a look and just mentally, like, messages to him.
00:14:44
Speaker
I don't know how you're managing it with that face, but You can be a little less smug, okay? but She goes over and she takes, like, again, this is this is, you know, she's not used to a body like this, right? So, like, she's trying to like, she's got tail that's for balance and shit. And it's like, okay. You got teeth, you got claws. Yeah. um So she...
00:15:14
Speaker
Again, goes for her arms, but their they're not long enough for anything. So she's like, God damn it. And then she's like, um... And she, like, lifts a foot and, like, basically, like, kicks at the rope and, like, slices it with one with her talon.
00:15:31
Speaker
And ah you see Odi kind of position himself under this ah little raptor. And as she comes down, she falls on top of him, but, like, kind of breaks for her fall using him. And, uh...
00:15:42
Speaker
She's like, oh, oh my gosh, thank you guys. Uh, wow. Uh, you're both trap makers. That's unusual. what' are you guys doing way out here? Especially you. Where'd you come from? I've never seen one anyone like you before.
00:15:58
Speaker
She looks at Uri and, like, reflexively. This little raptor's looking at you. Oh, me? what What do you mean? Your plumage is beautiful. I've never seen anything like that before. Well, thank you.
00:16:10
Speaker
It is quite, isn't it? You know, I always say if you eat the right diet of meat from things that eat the right diet of not meat, then you will get the benefits of nicely colored feathers.
00:16:35
Speaker
This raptor tilts her head at you. She finally gets off Odie. And Odie, you know, kind of,
Survival Discussions
00:16:40
Speaker
like, seems like he took he took a good hit from that, but he gets up. And this little raptor's like, wow, you are weird, but in a good way? Um, well, i'm glad you're not from my clan, at least. um My name's Cricket. What's yours?
00:16:55
Speaker
Well, she waits till Odie just says something first. My name is... Santasia named after my quite beautiful plumage.
00:17:10
Speaker
Pantasia? I've never heard of a name like that before. Well, it's normal where I come from, so it's... its Don't worry about it. And, uh, Odie's still kind of, like, you know, uh, adjusting himself after taking, like, a hit, a ten-foot hit to the back from this little raptor falling from the tree. Uh, he says, uh, my name's Okri. Uh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Cricket.
00:17:30
Speaker
Um... You seem awfully young to be out here by yourself. Are you alone? And Krikka says, like, oh, uh, yeah. I, uh, I ran away from home. Not not permanently. I... Ivy goes to, like, put a hand on his shoulder and then realizes that that's not a thing that she can physically do.
00:17:56
Speaker
and so she, like, puts her her her muzzle, like... Gently like taps it against ah Cricket's like head or whatever and is just like not knowing if that's weird or not. I just references is like I don't know you like you kind of ah and she and then she says say no more. I understand all about running away from home.
00:18:20
Speaker
Well, I mean, I didn't run away permanently. I just... ah Sure, we never mean to be away permanently. Well, i I'm almost an adult now, and it's almost time for my trial, but my issue is I don't really know what I want to be.
00:18:38
Speaker
My family, my parents, my siblings are all hunters. And I was thinking i was going to grow up to be another hunter, like a lot of people in my clan are.
00:18:50
Speaker
But I like this. ans i want to hunt. I want to go on the hunt. But I like building traps. And no one really builds traps in my clan. It's it's something that I learned from a neighboring clan when we had some visitors one time.
00:19:11
Speaker
But no one really does that here. And they think it's a little weird to do it that way. So I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. cricket you and me are hatched from the same egg ah no weren we're not no no it's it's it's no i i don't mean actually like it's it's just the same it means that you and i are the same oh also left home because my parents wanted me to do something that i did not want to do
00:19:47
Speaker
And what I wanted to do they did not approve of. So i left to do it. So you left to make traps? ah ah no no. I tried that.
00:20:05
Speaker
are thy It was okay. So are you a builder then? i I tried, let's just say I tried lots of things. Oh. Before I left.
00:20:18
Speaker
Did you you ever try tool crafting? She is just like, I am not prepared for this in any way. And she makes, like, she can't pull out. Now, the thing is, she grabbed her journals. Mm-hmm.
00:20:31
Speaker
But she can't use them. Yeah, so, like, you might have, like, almost like a strap with, like, a pouch on. Like, that way you have your journals and stuff in. But, like, yeah, you wouldn't show this little raptor. Yeah. Books. And also she couldn't write it anyway. So she, so she like makes a mental note to herself to, okay, uh, in future do some research first.
00:20:52
Speaker
Um, If for nothing else, to wipe the smug look off of his face. He's smug. know that. We're talking about this little raptor. Odie actually summons a little prop, and he holds in his mouth a... It looks like a small spear, like a tied-on piece of flint. Almost like a small spear. It was a dagger.
00:21:16
Speaker
ianda And ah he's like, i learned toolmaking while I was with my own clan. it's ah It's rewarding. But I suppose I never really saw myself as much of a hunter. I was more of a crafter.
00:21:32
Speaker
That's my tool of trade. And Kriya says, oh, okay. I thought you were a trap maker too, but I guess you can have multiple things you're into.
00:21:45
Speaker
Can you have multiple things? Yeah. ah See, and that's the problem, isn't it, Cricket? we're We're forced by society to pick only one thing. And I don't think that's fair. Why should we have to be put in ah in the same little box forever and ever and have to be forced to marry people that you don't want to marry and forced to, like, birth children that you have to then take care of just because that's... It's Heidi. It's Heidi.
00:22:11
Speaker
And like you see him, like, just kind of shake his head. And so after he's like... What's marriage? Marriage? Oh. That's when you, uh... She's, like, filtering through her mind. Okay, animals, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:28
Speaker
Oh, when you when you find a mate. Oh. Okay. Yeah, I'm not that into that either. Boys are gross. Yes. So, are you two finding your own clan, then?
00:22:42
Speaker
Are you two married? Ah!
00:22:47
Speaker
oh that was And that was in character. And she starts, like, coughing, which for raptor just has to sound like the worst. And Oni says, no, no, we we are simply journeying out to discover the world. Oh.
00:23:08
Speaker
God, no. Oh. Ew. Ew. Ew. Oh, ew, ew. Oh. Ew. ill And, uh... Ew. Well, I mean, that's usually why
Heidi's Upbringing and Ideals
00:23:21
Speaker
raptor pairs go off on their own and start their own clan.
00:23:25
Speaker
Oh, no, no, no. it's I... I don't even like boys, so, like, that's not a big thing, you know? That's something I just decided about old Ivy, apparently. Oh, good. Well, me neither.
00:23:37
Speaker
Um... Could... Could I join your clan, if that's what you're doing? Oh. We were just, um... I mean, once I'm an adult. I can't leave home yet. I i haven't done my trial.
00:23:52
Speaker
She messages Odie. What were we doing? lights You're just out here having fun. it wasn't Like, how do I... ex what What do I say here? Odie says, well, um we're just adventuring off on our own, but since you are not a fully-fledged adult yet, I was suggesting home where you belong. up And Idy just, like, snaps her face around to look at him.
00:24:20
Speaker
What is wrong with you? and like, she, like, whips her tail like, and like smacks him in the back of the head. Why? And she looks back at Cricket and, like, comes over and, like, stands next to her in a way that is very un-Raptor-like.
00:24:40
Speaker
But she doesn't know. um And she says, listen, does you hit him in the head when you fell. Don't listen to him, okay? No. yeah we We are out. You know what?
00:24:52
Speaker
We found each other. doing the same thing we were exploring off on our own trying to figure out what we wanted to do and cricket she i'm she she can't she she's just pointing with her little hands little feathered feathered wings cricket you should be allowed to find out what you want to do on your own too Well, yeah, i I do. That's why I'm out here. But i I mean, he's right. I can't leave yet. I mean, my family still relies on me and I still rely on them. I i don't know what I'm doing out here. i
00:25:31
Speaker
i haven't survived but myself out here before. That's an adult thing to do. I haven't done my trial yet. I'm not an adult. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. You are more capable than you think you are.
00:25:45
Speaker
i So, here's what's going to happen. Hang on to your butt, Janelle. Oh, God.
00:25:52
Speaker
Here's what's going to happen. You're going to stay with us. And we're going to try all kinds of things. And when you find something that you're into, only then are we going to go back so you can do your trial.
00:26:13
Speaker
yeah. Oh, okay, yeah. war and if you never really find anything you really want to do that's fine. You never have to go back. Right. I mean, I do miss my family. i i do want to... why Well, they raised me.
00:26:29
Speaker
Yes, but they are they want you to be something you're not. Well, I mean, we have the option to pick from something. I just always thought growing up that i was going to be a hunter like them, but they said i can I can find whatever I want to be, but you have to be...
00:26:45
Speaker
something. Yeah. You can be whatever you want to be as long as ah as long as you're a farmer, as long as it has to do with pollinators. Right? Like, I've heard it a million times. Oh, you can do whatever you want to as long as it's this one thing. Okay. Thanks, Dad.
00:27:03
Speaker
Like, I don't want to be here looking after these flying fuzzballs my entire life, getting all sticky every day. Because they can't, like... Miss Iy.
00:27:16
Speaker
What? I don't think she knows what you're talking about. And it's this little actress is, like looking at you, like, perplexed, but also kind of like, amazed. And she says, where are you from?
00:27:28
Speaker
The jungle. Yeah, I mean, I have friends that migrate from the jungle sometimes, but I've never heard of anything like that before. oh well, I'm from the jungle, but I didn't I didn't get raised in the jungle, if you know what I mean.
00:27:46
Speaker
i i don't know what you mean. um I got raised by. ah i so my parents died when I was.
00:28:01
Speaker
Before I was bar hatched. And so I... But that's thought your dad was telling you to do a bunch of stuff. Well, I mean, yes. But that's what I called him because he was the one who raised me. yeah So... But not technically related.
00:28:20
Speaker
But still, i was I was still in the egg. So I didn't know... For all I know, it could have been. But obviously, when I look as fantastic as this, ah the other bad the other folks weren't. Well, there was questions and they didn't explain to me. And I'm like, oh, okay.
00:28:44
Speaker
and um that was I guess that was it because that just made sense. So... Yeah, um so I was raised by nomads who went from place to place and we ended up visiting lots of different kinds of um settlements.
00:29:04
Speaker
Settlements? Is that the right word? he says clans. Clans. Clans. Yes, clans. And so I got exposed to lots of different cultures.
00:29:20
Speaker
And that's how i came to know words that you haven't heard before. This little rapture is just sitting here like listening to you and just amazed. She's like...
00:29:39
Speaker
but Why would you want to leave that clan? That sounds cool. Oh, well, yeah um... So here's the thing. I would go and I would make friends in these different... In can... Clans?
00:29:55
Speaker
Clans. Places. Clan places.
Night Reflections and Future Plans
00:30:00
Speaker
You know, the places where clans are. and um This rep this entire time is looking at like nodding, but also kind of like, you're fucking weird. ah
00:30:14
Speaker
And then I had to leave them. And it was a, we were a small group and I was really the only kid. So like, it was weird. And I um wasn't, on I was unhappy. And while she's talking, she mentally messages Odie.
00:30:36
Speaker
You can help me at any point here. I'm dying. Well, oh he says, well, I mean, we all have our reasons for for leaving. ah I personally want to explore the world at my own pace.
00:30:50
Speaker
And eventually maybe find someone who would want to travel with me. And Creek says, oh, okay. But not me. I'm not the someone.
00:31:01
Speaker
Right. Yeah. Because you're not Mary. Yeah. So... Yeah. Not even... cliners not We're not even...
00:31:13
Speaker
and this little raptor looks up and she says, it's getting kind of late. I was out here a lot longer than I probably should have. um Where are you guys heading? um We're heading to...
00:31:28
Speaker
I forget. To the mountains. Yes, the mountains. And ah she says, well, that's my clan's... is in that direction oh um that's such a coincidence so like if i if you're going to teach me all the trades um how do you know so much well you see cricket and she again she wanted to go put her arm around again it just doesn't work doesn't work yeah
00:31:59
Speaker
Fucking short arms, um she says under her breath. Like, ah, how do you deal with the... ah Anyway, so, well, when you move around a lot and you're the only kid, you tend to talk to people and you watch them. And so I just observed all people doing their thing and I got them to teach me.
00:32:24
Speaker
And ah even even this guy taught me some things, which I didn't know before, but now I can do a lot better than him. And that that's kind of why like I wanted to know things.
00:32:40
Speaker
That's what I wanted. I wanted to know things. I wanted to explore what's out there. i didn't want to be afraid of what was outside our little village,
00:32:52
Speaker
And, you know, no one ever goes past the past the river. So Raptors is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah And every time I would i would go out there i would find something interesting and my parents would just...
00:33:08
Speaker
you know, yell at me for not, you know, staying with the Klan. And it after a while, you know, it just, it gets tiring, Cricket. It gets tiring to, like, have this, like, need, this this yearning in your heart to to see what's out there, to know things, right? To, like, come across long dead ancient civilizations and like... Society.
00:33:40
Speaker
Oh, right. And Zuliraptor's just like, like really excited. Like you're just riled up and she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. ah Um, what are you going teach me first? Well, I think we should start with the traps because... Well, good at those.
00:33:55
Speaker
Yeah, if you're trying to trap yourself. Well, she's like, well, I mean, I wasn't expecting the ground to shake. And she goes behind ah this tree, like this, this like group of bushes. And she ducks her head in. She pulls it back out and she has a coil of rope. And she's like, I made this myself.
00:34:13
Speaker
And you look at it, and it's it's like finely braided like plant material. Like, it's a strong, sturdy rope. And she says, I learned this from one my friends at so one of the tribes when they came to visit.
00:34:25
Speaker
And they traded us some tools. And one of them knew how to make ropes, and they taught me. Damn, that's really actually impressive, Cricket. Thank you. yeah i How did you manage to braid this rope without arms that actually work right? Like this.
00:34:41
Speaker
And she takes some of this rope and um she's like, this is already braided, but i can double it. And she ties around like she uses her mouth.
00:34:52
Speaker
And like Odie said, these are very like expert like tool users. So between her big clawed feet and her ah her mouth, she strings this to a branch and she lays on her back and with her toes, she actually braids the this rope together.
00:35:09
Speaker
And she's like, like this. No one else really does this where I come from. Damn. I can't believe this little this little animal is doing this. She says aloud, does not mean to. he says, oh, that's very, very skilled of you, Cricket. I've never seen anyone do that myself either.
00:35:28
Speaker
And she said, thank you very much. she She puts that rope away. She's like, now it's double strong. Yeah. I'm at a loss for words. And she like eyes Odie, like expecting him to say something.
00:35:42
Speaker
for She's like, well, I understand trash pretty good. Maybe I can teach you how to make ropes. Do you how to make ropes? Only in theory.
00:35:54
Speaker
I've never actually braided rope before. But, like, I understand the mechanics of it. A fairly simple process. It's all about making sure that the tension of each strand is equal to the other strands when you braid them so that they maintain the equal tension throughout.
00:36:16
Speaker
Uh-huh. And ah she's like, yeah, you you you get that. She looks at both of you. She's like, do you not build shelters and stuff?
00:36:27
Speaker
I thought about maybe doing that because it's similar to rope making, but it's it's different. Idy starts to say something and then stops to think about it. um what What materials are you yeah are you using to build with?
00:36:43
Speaker
And Kriker's looking around. She's like, Manny, think. Oh, okay. Yes. I know that much. Oh, well, here. I can show you easily. i can but watch me Watch me build a simple ah a simple shelter.
00:36:57
Speaker
And she like she like looks around for materials. oh Yeah, roll for it. Are you looking for materials or are you actually building something? Well, looking for materials first. Okay. That's a three.
00:37:09
Speaker
Yeah. With a three, what sort of materials do I have access to? nothing really like clear There's nothing really laying around, but, uh, Odie sees you kind of looking around and, uh, takes that little like knife. He, he made like the little flint ended, uh, stick and he uses it. I'm going to see how well he does this. and get him or all Does he have, oh yeah, something for athletics. He has nothing. Yeah.
00:37:35
Speaker
fucking five. um um So he... tries to climb a tree with it, like, basically jam, like, how we discussed in the, the, the world building, how they, like, use this thing to, like, climb up something, but he just can't, he doesn't have the quite the strength to do it.
00:37:55
Speaker
Uh, so instead he takes that blade, um, and he grips the stem of, like, uh, almost like a brush, uh, with one of his feet, and he uses his cutting tool in his jaws to slice up, uh, some leaves.
00:38:07
Speaker
And, uh, he says, well, it's not dried, but, uh, this will work. For what? The roof. And then Cricket's like, yeah, you gotta to dig a hole.
00:38:18
Speaker
And she starts like scuffing at the ground with her with her feet. but So she really quickly gets winded and she's like, I don't think I'm built for building. This is exhausting work.
00:38:30
Speaker
Ivy is just like confused like flabbergasted. And she messages Odie, wait, this is what they mean by building leaves and holes?
00:38:40
Speaker
And Odie says, that's all I have. That's not much. I wouldn't classify that as building. i was looking for some, I was going to fashion a a small hut out of ah out of twigs in and in a log and maybe get some planks ah cut and, you know, brought proper proper shelter. But apparently that's not what they do here. need have Crick in a flat roll to see if she can find anything.
00:39:10
Speaker
course, she rolls a 10. but cricke This is Cricket's home turf, so like she can roll better. But she goes a short distance away, and she grabs some sticks.
00:39:21
Speaker
And she's like, i don't know these are good enough, but we can use these. Okay, yeah. um I'm pretty confident that I can do this. So she that quote-unquote hole that Cricket started, I.D. goes over and starts again. She goes to like lean down with her arms, and she's like,
00:39:40
Speaker
fucking arms what's the point of these if you can't use them and and then she like ah like starts digging with her feet um and she's a lot more athletic than cricket is give her a roll and see how well you dig this hole
00:39:59
Speaker
That's a 10. Nice. Yeah, like, effortlessly, you have enough strength in those legs to shovel that dirt away. meanwhile, Crickus is watching you like, yes, this this this raptor's done this shit before.
00:40:11
Speaker
And ah she's like, you're really good at digging holes. Well, you um thanks, I think. Is that something that's a good thing to be good at?
00:40:24
Speaker
It's a good skill. Where I come from it is. Alright. Sure. um So then she takes the sticks and the leaves and she's going to try and build a structure. Okay.
00:40:38
Speaker
You could say she's trying going to try and figure shit out. Use your plus two? Yeah. yeah
00:40:47
Speaker
Nine. Nine. Okay. That's a mixed. So like Yeah, you you're able to build a pretty good structure, but like you know it's it doesn't look entirely sound. like It's not going to last more than a day.
00:41:01
Speaker
But like it's it's there to basically this show off these skills. You can do this thing, but like you don't have the best materials to work with here. like Usually like what you see in those those pictures, those monitors, that like these are like dried like timbers that they use to like yell the make these these ah kind the structure of these...
00:41:21
Speaker
little huts in the ground and then covered with like really thick leaves but these are just like things that you cut down and just use in the like nearby like vicinity but like For camping overnight, this would be a good shelter.
00:41:33
Speaker
See, yeah, building is easy. I mean, sure, like, this is not a permanent structure, but when you're traveling, this is all you need for the night, you know? It works. Yeah.
00:41:44
Speaker
Very cool. I don't know. It's the whole digging thing. I i guess I'm more built for running, not so much kicking dirt. Oh, yeah? Want to have a little race? She's like, oh, yeah, I used to race with friends all the time. Yeah, yeah, it's race.
00:42:00
Speaker
All right. And she looks at OD like, okay, so you, you give us the go ahead. We're going to, we're going to race to that big rock over there.
00:42:11
Speaker
And though Cricket looks at that rock he's like, that wasn't there before. not sure it was. I was standing on it just a little bit ago. I was out here all day. did that fall from the sky?
00:42:23
Speaker
Is that a thing that happens here? i I was told that it happens sometimes. Then maybe... Where did it come from? i don't know where else it could have come from. i We just got here, so I couldn't tell you. Oh, well, weird.
00:42:37
Speaker
All right, let's... She's going to take her claw and just, like, make a... Draw a line? Draw a line. Yeah. All right. Feet have to be behind the line. Okay.
00:42:48
Speaker
And ge she, like, hunches down and is ready. All right, Odie, say when. And ah he pauses for a second. and He's like, and go. All right. Roll.
00:43:00
Speaker
if Seven. What'd you roll? Even with my plus one is only a five. Oh, shit. I mean, maybe you're just like... Not used to this? Yeah, like, oh, it's... Oh, no, five's a failure.
00:43:16
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um So you're not used to this. So this little raptor, like, she gets a mixed. So she runs and, like, maybe she's not the fastest raptor on, but she's, like, she's still used to her legs.
00:43:29
Speaker
But you start running and, like... Well, you describe it as your failure. Ivy, like, starts running and, like, she doesn't know what to do with the tail.
00:43:41
Speaker
And so she's just, like, trying to, like, figure it out. And it's it's just, it's weird. It's not, it's a completely different set of muscles and, like, movements.
00:43:52
Speaker
And she's just not used to it. And she does, yes, she does end up. Eating dirt. Yes. Ouch. Tripping and falling. Yeah. Right into the dirt. And Cricket's leaning like, you know, make it to the rock. She turns around and she sees you fall. and She's like, are you okay?
00:44:09
Speaker
Yeah. ah Yeah, I'm fine. um I should have known better. i i mean, i've I've been doing a lot of running today and I did to hurt my foot a couple days ago. So I should have known better. She gets up and like literally like tries to spit out dirt, but like her mouth doesn't move that way. So she's like, bleh.
00:44:30
Speaker
it And she looks at Odie like, stop being so smug. He's ah he's like, I'm not being, like, he's just like shaking his head. Um, wow. You know what? Maybe we should just, you know, sit down and rest for a while or whatever because clearly we're tired.
00:44:47
Speaker
And she's like, yeah, um, well, we we built a shelter. and might as well make use of it, I guess. Um, you know, like, it is getting kind of dark. How far away is your, in Canada, your, uh, home?
00:45:03
Speaker
and, uh, she goes, uh, like, out, like, through the trees. And you see the trees, like, that's kind of the end of this patch of woods. And, um, she kind of, like, just, like, puts some more of her little winged arms out.
00:45:16
Speaker
And she says, down there. And you see ways down this valley. Like this little rapture has like probably spent most of her day running up this very large hill, almost like a small mountain ah where this forest is located. And down in the valley, um you see what looks like a small pinpoint of orange light from a lit fire.
00:45:38
Speaker
And she's like, they're all the way down there. I am really far away from home. I don't think I've been this far away from home before. How far away is it actually?
00:45:49
Speaker
It's like a few miles. Okay. I want to use the biometric scanner to scan that direction to find life forms and calculate the dis the exact distance.
00:46:04
Speaker
I just told you three miles. Yeah. Okay. just the exact distance. Okay. And she wants to know how many are there. And she also wants to know, see if she can't like calculate how long it would take to get there.
00:46:21
Speaker
Okay. We're all for it. Until this technology is perfected. Like, well, we'll reach a point, I think, where you have, where there's been enough of a time skip where you can't perfect your technology, but this has like been fucked with for a little bit recently.
00:46:37
Speaker
Well, that's a 10. Okay. We're having very mixed bag rules tonight. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So like you do that and you see it is three miles away. can tell it's it's like it's not a very large encampment. There's maybe a few dozen raptors living here.
00:46:53
Speaker
And it's kind of like the size of your village that you came from. It's small, humble, Just enough people there to, like, sustain a population and to get things done.
00:47:04
Speaker
But everyone, like, it's so small that everyone here would have a job, unless they're a baby. ah But even, like, the younglings, you know, they learn from their, trial before they take their trials, they kind of learn, it's kind of like instead of apprentices taking on different things before they actually go off and do their trial and, you know, reach adulthood by graduating that trial.
00:47:23
Speaker
um But that's essentially what you see. And you also, you know, get, like, like looking at it from a distance, you can see that like there's only one little pinpoint of light. So that might be, like, a central campfire that this camp is built around.
00:47:38
Speaker
And how long... Oh, before I take it to get there? Yeah. I mean, an hour. It's not too far. but like... this my Maybe week an hour a half, because there are animals running around. So like it takes a bit for a human to run a mile, and like these are fast animals, so like maybe an hour to get there if you're traveling on raptor feet.
00:47:59
Speaker
Okay. That's not accounting for the terrain. No. here you're like There's no way, one, she she can't see all the terrain, yeah and two, it's a biometric scanner. It's not... Yeah, you're basically going down a mountain.
00:48:16
Speaker
But Odie says, ah well, I would refrain from traveling in the darkness. And ah he looks at you and he says, because you might not be alone out here. Like, I don't know if he would she would pick up on that.
00:48:30
Speaker
Hold on. What? what I'm going to roll the minus one. Oh, really? Okay, well, that's, yeah, that's a three. um Yeah, so she didn't pick up on what Odie was trying to insinuate.
00:48:42
Speaker
What are you talking about? And this little rafter's like... There's three us. There's predators out here that lurk in the dark. i'm not supposed to be out here after dark. But we're predators.
00:48:56
Speaker
We're not the biggest ones. don't know where you... what The predators are like where you come from, but out here, they can they can kill us. So we didn't see any of the big dinosaurs on the screens, right?
00:49:07
Speaker
Well, you saw, like, some creatures, but, like, the main the main screen had just these rafters. um But, yeah, like, we discussed that there was other creatures there. And, yeah, like how cavemen had to deal with, say, two tigers. But, yeah, but she doesn't necessarily know.
00:49:24
Speaker
Yeah. Krega looks at both you, she's like, dude do either you know how to make a fire? That that keeps the beast away. She looks at Odie, but not, like, just she just, like, looks at him and, um...
00:49:37
Speaker
And she's like thinking like she's really trying to figure out, OK, how can I make a fire given this body and this surroundings? Because like she knows how to make a fire. right Yeah. every But Odi actually messaged you and dom he shows a picture of a um like he basically texts you of um a picture or emoji of a little like cigarette lighter or like, you know, like ohoji And ah and ah he takes Cricket and he's like, hey, um why don't we get a few more leaves for our shelter?
00:50:15
Speaker
And meanwhile, Fantasia here will get a fire started. She messages Odi. How did you know that I brought that? Are you spying on me again with those cameras? He just sends you a shrug.
00:50:32
Speaker
And she sends the middle finger emoji.
00:50:37
Speaker
Okay. So, yeah, he he walks off with ah ah Cricket to get that ah get some more leaves. Okay, so. Des is lighter. Now, she's going to try and get this thing out of her, where it is. Her bag or satchel, whatever.
00:50:54
Speaker
Is she able to do that with the way she's, like, shaped right now? Well, I mean, you are currently alone. So, like. Okay, so like she like looks and like watches the two of them go off, and she presses a button on her thing, and then she just like like does a like shake, like shaking her head, like and she turns back to herself, and she's like, oh my gosh. That feels better.
00:51:23
Speaker
i actually have usable limbs. Okay. And she grabs the thingy and she makes a fire with it. Okay. Why you make a flat roll for me real quick?
00:51:39
Speaker
What did you roll? I need new dice. All right. No, these are done. They're in dice jail now. They're shit dice. That's a three. a Holy shit. There's a lot of threes. and like Yeah. like This is what I'm saying. Yeah. You you you guys are now. Um...
00:51:57
Speaker
Roll again. For a different thing? Nah, just roll again, because I think I'd Like, I'm basically giving you advantage here. Okay. Eight.
00:52:07
Speaker
Eight. Okay, that's mixed. Okay, so ah you take this thing out, and you open up the Flickit. Have you... don't think you've used this thing. Like... Not... Like, you saw Des use it, but... If you think that she hasn't examined this already and figured out how it works, then you're crazy.
00:52:26
Speaker
No, no, no. I know how you know how it works. But, like like, even this dim light, like, you you flick it produce a flame. But have you really... i should I should ask this, like, have you studied this thing? Have you, like, like really investigated it yet? Or did you move on to, like, the more, like, newer technology that was around you in the buzzard? Or, like, heavy like have you really messed with Dez's shit since Um, I want to say yes, but... Okay, well, here...
00:52:56
Speaker
good ah yeah girlal Odds yes, evens no. That doesn't feel right. Evens yes, odds no.
00:53:07
Speaker
That's a two. So yes. So yes what? Like, yes you... Yes, she's examined it. Okay. ah So yeah, you know how this thing works. Like, you know this is a couple of together, you know, it uses some of the ancient technology that ah was present on your world and everything.
00:53:25
Speaker
But there's one thing that becomes apparent that you might not have noticed before um about this ah this device. It's actually an engraving. um So like this thing, it kind of looks like a cigarette lighter that you buy from a store. It just kind of pops open. It has something that when you strike it, it produces a flame and it spits out basically a spark and ignites whatever you but whatever it lands on.
00:53:48
Speaker
So like you couple or you put together some sticks and plant material and lit this thing on fire. But you notice a small engraving and kind of like the inside lid of it. And I'm not sure if you have seen this before. can you can You can make that decision after I tell you what this thing is. But it has nothing to do with like the mechanics of this thing.
00:54:08
Speaker
It's just a small engraving with glyphs in the ancient language of your world. And just simply says, brother, I follow you anywhere. And that is like the only bit of text you see on this this entire thing. and It's glyphs, but it's not ancient.
00:54:26
Speaker
It seems like this was etched in there at some point. Recently? um Recently, as in, like... So, they applied like, culturally recently? Culturally recently. It's not an ancient person who etched this in there. Okay.
00:54:40
Speaker
Yeah. and So, that is, that is like... it's that you I know you you probably messed up this this lighter before, but, like... don't know if you have seen that engraving there's forcibly eyes on it. Probably not. Okay.
00:54:54
Speaker
But, yeah. That's weird. Huh. Then she like rummages in her her satchel, um pulled out a journal. No, not that one.
00:55:06
Speaker
um Not that. No. Oh, this one. And she opens it up and she flicks to the pages where she's dude like she's drawn this thing and she's like diagrammed it out and like written notes about it.
00:55:18
Speaker
And then so she adds to the drawing the glyphs and and writes and, you know, I guess she wouldn't have to write it if that's her language, right? Yeah. so and she But she writes it again, and then she puts a question mark or whatever the equivalent of a question mark is. Yeah.
00:55:35
Speaker
And then she like puts it back and puts she puts both things back. And she kind of like, she stretches even though she doesn't have to. And you get a little message of a little checkmark question mark from Odie, which is a couple emojis.
00:55:47
Speaker
What does that mean? She messages back. And he just he says, are you done? Oh, yeah. um I guess I better. she like she like looks on her device and like tries to see if she can like make her arms any longer.
00:56:07
Speaker
Without being different? Without. it Well, yeah, without being too weird. And the answer is no Damn. All right. Here we go.
00:56:19
Speaker
And she changes back into her wounds? Deceptor form. So that's... Okay, let's see. Yeah, it's another charge now. And ah you see Odie and Cricket wander back in the camp, and um they have a few more sticks and leaves.
00:56:33
Speaker
You see Cricket, and she's like, you got the fire start. It's awesome. What'd you use? Odie just, like, says, like, before you can say much of anything, because you don't know how they these people make fire? Like, you made fire of a piece technology. Yeah. And Odie says, oh, just a couple of flints is all that's really needed.
00:56:49
Speaker
And Cricket's like, yeah, that that makes sense. um She's going to, like, lean down so that no one can see what she's doing. What I want to see if she can do is alter her disguise just a little bit to add, like, lint tips to her talons. Oh, okay.
00:57:11
Speaker
as yeah You can summon those as props, even. just no No, no, no. But she wants to try and do it as a disguise. Oh, okay. I think this should be a roll. Yes. Okay.
00:57:23
Speaker
are you doing to see how well you do it or do it without being seen? i guess depends on how... Whether she can figure out how to do it. Okay. Because, like, it's... It's not necessarily a normal disguise feature.
00:57:36
Speaker
Right? But she does have access to the code. Yeah. She's trying to figure it out. Okay.
00:57:45
Speaker
So, I think that's a figure shit out yeah bonus. Oops. It's the floor. It's a crit one. it's not how it it is. oh shit. um That's an 11. Oh, shit. Yeah, you do it.
00:58:00
Speaker
Okay. That's a success. You just do it. Nice. So she she she does that real quick, and she's like, nice. And then she she walks over like, oh, yeah, so, you know, when you're on your own, you know,
00:58:16
Speaker
Sometimes you can't always find flints. so And she like raises up one of her feet. And ah it's like, yeah, so, um you know, I got this ah this little add-on.
00:58:30
Speaker
So I can just... Cool. And she's got one on both both claws. And she's isn't like, tied on? Like, how is it fastened to your claw? The way she did it. Is that technically the tip of the claw oh this is like is made of flint, right? Oh, so he's like, well, I mean, like, by, like, mechanically speaking for raptor, was it, like, glued on or something? Or is it just, like, did they grind the tip of their claws off and just, like, glue that on there? Or... Uh... She didn't sink that far ahead, and neither did i But just her claws are made out of flint, let's just say.
00:59:08
Speaker
they're and They're tipped in Flint. Yeah. Anyway. ah How? That's... Because you know this fucking cricket is like little ID. Like, she's just, like, fascinated by technology, technology the yeah skills that you're teaching her. this is what she's going to say. Oh, yeah. So, I have this weird deformity? Is that a... She messages Odie. Is that a thing?
00:59:29
Speaker
He nods. Okay. I have this weird deformity where, like, my claws are kind of... really, like, flint-like. And so when i do this and she takes one and she, like, scrapes it agree against the other one and a spark flies off, I can do that.
00:59:50
Speaker
And the cricket's like, whoa! Yeah, I don't... i It's weird, right? That's cool. I wish I was born, like, flint claws. That's cool. Well, I mean, we just... We can't... We can't change our...
01:00:04
Speaker
code, can we? And Buddy gives you, like like, a look. Like, how did you do that? She just sends a tongue-sticking-out wink emoji. And Cricket's like, well, now we got the fire started. We're safe, I hear, now.
01:00:24
Speaker
Um, yeah. I just... don't know. I've never been this... I've never been this far away from home before. It doesn't seem like that far, but we're not supposed to go super far. Yeah. And you're not supposed to veer off course either. You're supposed to do what your plan wants you to do.
01:00:45
Speaker
And that's, that's your life. But like, I don't, that's, that's not for us cricket. We are not the ones who just do the same thing as everyone else does because that's how everyone has done it for generations.
01:01:01
Speaker
we're We're not like that. Are we? No. Um, I can see why you left, though. I, eventually around sounds cool, but if they are forcing you to do what they want you to do, i can, I can understand that. I, you know, I always thought I'd be a hunter, but, I mean, my, my parents are giving the option to do other things, but, don't know, it's just, growing up in that kind of lifestyle, it just, I don't know, made me think I, I should be a hunter.
01:01:28
Speaker
I want to hunt, but, you know, just not Stabbing things or anything like that. Well, I mean, don't discount the benefits of stabbing things. I mean, you saw me. I'm not really strong. I don't shove dirt and I probably can't climb on top of a big beast.
01:01:49
Speaker
But i can I can run fast and I can build traps that trap the beasts. There you go. Listen, all you need to do is feed yourself.
01:02:03
Speaker
If you can do that, you're golden. ah you're You're set. should She's like, yeah, I i guess. I mean, don't really hunt alone. That's not what's... don't know how you guys do it, where you're from, but we always hunt in groups.
01:02:19
Speaker
So we don't really feed ourselves. We feed each other. Right. But what I'm saying is, on your journey two finding yourself as you travel it's about survival cricket yeah if you can survive on your own then you can do anything yeah i mean anything well yeah i i or lots of things If that's what you want to do. Well, i want to do lots of things. I mean, you're showing me, I mean, if you can teach me to make tools tomorrow, I always was fascinated how to make tools because I know how to use them. I just don't know how to make them.
01:02:59
Speaker
And if I know how to make them and I can make my traps and I can become a really good hunter then. Well, sure I can. i can show you lots of things, but they're going to make you pick one, right?
01:03:11
Speaker
Well, maybe. i mean, dude, you You both graduated your trials, right? So what what trials did you do? If you're off on your own, that's, you know, you're you're adults now. So you you had to pass your trials.
01:03:26
Speaker
Well, see, that's the thing. Well, I don't know about him because i didn I've only known him a little bit. And then she, like, realizes that that's actually true. And she's like, hmm.
01:03:38
Speaker
But I didn't take my trial. Oh, that's right because you ran off. Because, one, I couldn't decide, and two, I didn't think I should have to.
01:03:51
Speaker
Right. Because, Cricket, I don't know if you've ever heard this before, but knowledge is power. i can i got understand that, yeah.
01:04:02
Speaker
So, if you know how to do many things, you have lots of power. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. That's right, you do. Yeah. And she's like, well, maybe I just need to pass one trial, but then I just take all the knowledge of the art trials with me.
01:04:20
Speaker
sure If, sure. If that's what would make you feel comfortable doing, then sure. i mean, I would just peace out, but that's... And then she, like, stops herself like, what the hell does that mean? Shh.
01:04:36
Speaker
And then she remembers that book she read about the sayings. Yeah. She's like, oh, yeah. um But no, you you should do you. You do you. Just because I left without doing my trial, just because I am never going to go back, doesn't mean that you won't.
01:04:53
Speaker
I mean, i don't I've not met your parents. I don't know your your family. So maybe they're not as bad as mine. Well, I mean, at least they gave me options. This is not like your parents it gave you any options. No, there was no options. There was one option and only one option.
01:05:10
Speaker
And I decided that that was not fair. That's stupid. Preach on, sister. And then she like stops again. It's like, OK, maybe I shouldn't have read that And Odie says, well, it is getting quite late. um If you want to get an early start and get you back home tomorrow, maybe you should get some rest.
01:05:33
Speaker
And maybe if Fantasia rests her foot, she can beat you in a race. and She looks and just stares at Odie like just daggers and from one side of her face because her eyes are on opposite sides of her head. And a Cricket laughs. She's like, yeah, yeah, i definitely want to try the race again. That was fun. Before you fell.
01:05:56
Speaker
But we can try again. She looks like she's, like, scratching one her arm with another one as she, like, is sending multiple middle finger emojis. She's, like, spamming them.
01:06:08
Speaker
going break that button. I mean, like, are you guys, like, basically camping out for a night? I mean, we could go home anytime want, but yeah. Sure. I mean, you can't leave this little raptor. No, no, and Idy has, like, found kinship in this little... This little spunky raptor. It's like, you're like me. You're like the raptor version of me. um So she's like, why don't you take the shelter?
01:06:33
Speaker
Oh, your guys are sleeping outside? Yeah, well'll um we'll keep watch for you. Oh, okay. um Well... Good night, then. I'll see you in the morning. All right. Have a pleasant sleep.
01:06:47
Speaker
And she wanders into the shelter. Masai, you've been saying this this this picture to me a lot, but I really don't understand what it means. You should look it up.
01:06:58
Speaker
yeah And he's like, well, I can't say I expected any of this to happen, but sometimes that's the way it goes. You explore a world for fun and adventure finds you.
01:07:12
Speaker
I obviously were we can't take this little creature back home with us. No, no. Calm down. I know that. That's obvious. calm down i know that that's obvious But I do kind of feel for her, right? Like she's, she is in the same situation that I was in when I left. And I i want to make sure that she has everything she needs to, to go on her own journey.
01:07:38
Speaker
I don't know how long you were planning on staying here, but. I, well, I was really staying here for your benefit to learn your new equipment. But if you want to stay and help, that's, I mean, I can't resist helping others when, when I. oh yeah. Okay. Yes.
01:07:57
Speaker
it It's, oh gosh. I consider it's a part of a job. It's less than a month and already you're like affecting my decision making.
01:08:08
Speaker
Well, mean, I just consider it a a task that's been assigned to me. It's not an official task from Gremlora, the task manager, but it's it's something. Gremly was right about you. know Anyways, that's I was just thinking about it, so I'm going to get some sleep. You do whatever it is that you do. Oh, I don't really need to sleep, but it does feel nice.
01:08:29
Speaker
Especially when you're out here being something you're not. Yeah, okay. Well, as a fixture, I really want to sleep, but as this, I think I really need sleep.
01:08:41
Speaker
That's gotta be weird. It is a little strange, but sleeping has always been relaxing for me. Well, yeah. All right, man. What up? You're... I... Okay. I... I'm too tired for you anymore. Good night. Yeah, he says, uh... He says, uh, good night, Miss Heidi.
