You guys will find out this episode with all of our peanut butter lore.
Jammy Jake and Patreon Jokes
00:01:14
Speaker
Don't tell me that the wet peanut butter comes back. That'd be fucking hilarious. The whole crux of the story is based on ah is based on peanut butter.
00:01:24
Speaker
No, don't stoop that well. That Hikaru's spoiled milk. Let's bring that back too. Oh god, the spoiled milk with a single berry in it cereal? Wasn't that like first episode?
00:01:34
Speaker
Yeah, something like that. It was like the fourth or something. Yeah, that was the first three or fourth. It might have been. Yeah, it's like three or four.
00:01:45
Speaker
Anyway, who's next? Eli? I haven't been introduced yet, so I'm waiting for an introduction. Yeah, Evelyn. Yeah, okay.
00:01:56
Speaker
Eli, don't... Wait. Sorry.
00:02:03
Speaker
And sitting to my left is someone who grows peanuts in his backyard and makes the peanut butter himself. Yep, that's right. I'm Eli. Let me go, let me check on those. ah Just to look out the window real quick.
00:02:19
Speaker
Oh yeah, they're... a Definitely not covered by snow right now. They're doing just fine. you have him in a peanut plant like in SpongeBob?
00:02:30
Speaker
Oh, now he's against the Goofy Goober Mafia. Goober Mafia. Oh, jeez. Okay, they trade in peanut brittle. Sea nut brittle, sorry. Because that's a thing from the show.
00:02:43
Speaker
And sitting across from me... is somebody who grows 10 different fruits that only makes jam with them. There's so many different kinds of jams you can make because it's like the jams of a single fruit and then you mash the other fruits together and make different jams like a mixed berry kind of jam.
00:03:05
Speaker
it's just Wasn't that the plot of like a Despicable Me movie? I don't know. Is it really? i I haven't really seen those movies. cause I have no idea. It's not a plot, but it's in the movie. first one Okay, yeah, yeah.
00:03:21
Speaker
What about that that's what it was the live-action Aladdin movie where they were really where they said jam like a bunch of times when they were talking to the princess? Good good movie there.
00:03:31
Speaker
Never watched it. Oh yeah, it's me, Sean. I got jam. it's I've been jammed into this podcast. What up?
00:03:42
Speaker
Now, to my... Shut up. no Now, over there is the guy I sell all the jams to.
00:03:55
Speaker
It's me, Jammy Jake. Jammy Jake. Jammy Jake. Jammy Jake Sean the jam dealer.
00:04:09
Speaker
So, we got to make the jam, Jesse. oh We got sell the jam. We got to sell the jam, Jake. Jesse, we got to jam. got to jam. We got to jam.
00:04:22
Speaker
What they call uh, crackpot, it's what we call a jam out. Jam jar. Okay. ah Yeah, there you jam jar. We're just jammin'. Alright. But we're high. Alright, so, um, if you can't tell by the title of this question. Do you snort or huff the jam?
00:04:39
Speaker
That is a question we must answer. We must not answer.
00:04:46
Speaker
wonder if you're getting to the episode. three No, no, no, no, no. The episode's not that important. We need to know, how do you do drug-ified jam? Drug jam?
00:04:56
Speaker
but Maybe that's what was in the vault the whole time. Is this a door episode? Do you know how to do this?
00:05:05
Speaker
Wait, hang on, why don't we just take Walter back to the vault door and he'll figure it out. He'll just kick the door down. Let's just get back to the door. yeah, you guys could have tried that. Just shove Walter in front of the vault doors like, here you go, Walter. Here you go, Walter. And just practically destroys itself. i mean i got t and ti now mean, I got TNT now. Wait, can Walter have proficiency on all door-related roles?
00:05:29
Speaker
Uh, I said it was getting us back on track, but also I don't... Did I? I don't remember. Advantage rather than? No, you gave me disadvantage on any door check. Disadvantage.
00:05:41
Speaker
yeah And I gave Sean disadvantage on stair related checks, I think. I thought I had advantage on ice cream. He has disadvantage on ice cream related checks. Okay, maybe it's just ice cream. Yeah, ice cream, but I have advantage on all stair related tumblings is what you said.
00:05:56
Speaker
Listen, let's get back on track before I start giving- before I start eating chips in the mic. I mean, we're at least talking about the podcast this time. yes This is the finale, and I'm very excited for this one because I have a big plans.
00:06:10
Speaker
That's what he claims. um bill I just remembered, before anything else, Patreon members. Patreon patrons! I almost ended our Zencaster recording for that.
00:06:23
Speaker
but Who pays for our show?
00:06:27
Speaker
One second, one second, one second. I gotta remember how to get it. We have a gold tier, we have a bronze tier, and a gold tier. Alright. it Oh, I didn't realize there was an update to this. Ooh, interesting.

See this, people? he doesn't He doesn't notice you when you join our... i do get I do get notifications when you guys join and stuff, so I definitely notice. I just... i don't whereing we notice We always get on him when he doesn't say anything about you guys. Do you notice, Jake? You also run the Patreon.
00:07:27
Speaker
I haven't touched a Patreon in over a year. That is true. When you first joined, you were like a Patreon mod, and then you just didn't. I fell too far behind you Yeah, so I kind of just took over that.
00:07:39
Speaker
Anyway, Sean, give us a random move. I'm not dilly-dallying anymore. We must get into the episode. all right been a while. right let's let's Let's go. Jake, shut up.
00:07:53
Speaker
Let's strength on in. Haha, nice. Let us strength on in. A strong ending to this arc. Strong. They waited months for that. They waited months for strength. That's the boring-ass move it can get.
00:08:09
Speaker
Okay, so, um, we left off with you guys having...
Meth Lab Rescue and Reviver Seed
00:08:14
Speaker
My Discord is exploding. I'm going to kill somebody. We left off with you guys.
00:08:22
Speaker
um Not you guys, but the police came and detained Chai the Leafeon for... They drug busted her for... That sounds completely different. They drug busted her when you guys found out she was running an illegal meth lab or an orbit production lab, I guess.
00:08:40
Speaker
um So... the We ended the last episode with the cops and everything taking her away towards the police station. What was his name? The Birkening cop? ah Bill. Bill? Bill.
00:08:54
Speaker
bill you know bill bill i said richard Bill. Bill. Bill bill bill not the science guy see richard i almost said richard i get something then i'd like loot something i can't have if i lukes as something from the not in the house so ah oh in the window oh oh No, what happened is last episode, you touched something. Oh no, passed out. And Walter passed out. Right, I got drugged up.
00:09:20
Speaker
Walter, I am going to meet, until you wake up, I am going to mute you. am going to deafen you. Yeah, I've been a month long for this, baby. Bye. by Do the recap at least, right? oh wait.
00:09:36
Speaker
Hold on. No, we already jumped in. We already strengthened. We're passing the word recap. We already strengthened. Jake. Oh wait, I can do this. Here we go. was say I can't deafen him, but there you go. Oh, there we go. Okay. I think Zancaster will still pick him up. So Jake, if you want to say, oh you can't hear me.
00:09:51
Speaker
Oh no, he muted himself too. Wait, why did he mute himself? I didn't. Oh, he unmuted himself. No, wait, no. i know I know how to Discord, guys. Oh my gosh. Just start the adventure. I don't care anymore.
00:10:07
Speaker
Okay, okay. So, Walter is dead. He's ah out of the campaign now. Definitely. 100% true. You guys do not know that Walter passed out. So, you guys are completely unaware of that.
00:10:18
Speaker
What you guys see is you saw Walter sneak around to the back and then he... think Wait, hold on. Did someone come with Walter? No. i don't remember.
00:10:29
Speaker
Oh, wait, wait, wait. No, he sent a text to your guys' group chat with pictures of the meth lab. Yeah, he went around back. And the last you heard of him. So you guys know he went around back and you know that he found a meth lab.
00:10:42
Speaker
Quote-unquote meth lab. I thought he came back. where that is is He did not because he passed out. If he came back while he was passed out, that's a problem. And he kind of just lost her French mustache.
00:10:54
Speaker
In surprise, your mustache fell off.
00:10:58
Speaker
That's right, we're dealing with French Chikaru. She did the surprise Pikachu. Oui, oui. So, yes, you guys are watching Chai at the Leafyong get taken away to the police station and Bill is there. He's like, well, thanks. I guess. Wow. I had no clue this person was involved.
00:11:18
Speaker
How did you guys figure this one out? I always suspected her of being suspicious. She never, like, answered our questions properly the first the first time we talked to She was kind of dodgy. Also, see that's a complete lie. I don't know. I've been very high the past few hours, so I just kind of was going with the flow.
00:11:35
Speaker
You do look... I can smell it on you. I'm a dog. Also, what's a dog? I'm an arcanine. Bark-anine? Well, if you think you're a dog, you might have some other issues.
00:11:51
Speaker
Uh, say again, what issues? If you think that you're a dog, we might have some other issues. Well, I'm an arcanine. I'm an arc... I'm an arcane canine. That's kind of what that stands for.
00:12:05
Speaker
Bill, you're doing alright. Are you sure you weren't doing something? i don't know what you're talking about. Uh, the person voicing me hasn't voiced me in about four months, so... So, yes, I'm doing fine.
00:12:18
Speaker
sure it's been four months? Uh... That's been something like that. we we've been standing board How have we been standing in Chai's game for so long? so Are you saying Walter's been in the for four I'm sure recorded this recently.
00:12:30
Speaker
Well, anyway, back on to topics. um We have taken Chai to the ah interrogation office. If you guys wish, you guys can watch the interrogation. Why would I want to do that? I need i need somebody to roll perception.
00:12:43
Speaker
Is there going food at the interrogation?
00:12:50
Speaker
Uh, 12 plus 2, that's a 14. I'll give it to you. You see a green shape at the end of the lane disappear as you glance over at it. Is that the Leafeon?
00:13:02
Speaker
It's a green shape. It's probably the shiny Espeon. At the end of the Ooh. The end of the road, basically. Back on the main road. And Hikaru's the only one that sees that? Wait, wait.
00:13:13
Speaker
Okay. It's the junction of whatever road you guys are on in, like, the main road. Hikaru's the only one that sees that? ah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you glanced over. we're out on some, like, drive... Not driveway, but like... Yeah, you're some residential road.
00:13:27
Speaker
house Okay. Let's... You guys want to... Hmm... that ah What kind of green is it? but but I'm gonna get out my colored cart. It is Hawaiian leaf ah green. Seafoam green. maba Hawaiian leaf green. but Okay.
00:13:46
Speaker
I don't know. It's green, okay? Is it neon green? Is it a nice dark green? Is it like shiny Espeon green?
00:13:59
Speaker
Let me state this one more time so there's no confusion. It is green. oh shoot. I'm so not confused now. Oh, dang. right You mean it's not blue, huh Yes, that is in fact what I meant. It is not blue. It's not red.
00:14:17
Speaker
It was green. oh so it's not pink. Fuck off. God damn it. What made you think it was pink? Okay. I don't know. Is the order of an espion color?
00:14:31
Speaker
Kind of? Ish? I'm not answering a character that is. You're not saying that was an espion, right? I don't know. I didn't see it. I'm gonna stab one of you guys. I said it was green. That means it's green. This is like those English teachers like, the red door was red, which means that Shakespeare was very angry when he wrote this. ever do if-then sentences in math? Yeah, those were really and those were fun.
00:14:55
Speaker
Oh my goodness. If sureer than true, then true. Okay. Yeah. So, uh, Hikaru herself notices this. Uh, guys, um, I just noticed... You see that, like, green, uh, that green blob over there?
00:15:13
Speaker
It's gone by now. It dashed away when you glanced at it. but What green blob? I don't see anything there now. also don't see water anywhere. Which way, uh, Dakota, which way did it go?
00:15:25
Speaker
Who the heck did Yoda? I'm going to say it headed back the way you guys came, basically. The way we came? Okay. yeah Towards the main area of Fulkenburg. Fulkenburgers. Okay.
00:15:37
Speaker
Yes, Fulkenburgers.
00:15:40
Speaker
I'm going to keep that name in mind. like that as a restaurant name. yeah
00:15:47
Speaker
huh me think the whatever somebody makes me Something makes me think that that green thing that green Pokemon in the distance um knows who we are and sure it's not like bush Plants are alive, you know?
00:16:03
Speaker
Sorry.
00:16:05
Speaker
Plants are alive? Like, what is it? A b blossom or something? i mean, it could be. Yes. Anyway... garra thank Anyway, that's kind of suspicious.
00:16:18
Speaker
Like, if that's the... Yeah, anyway, if it was reacting to if it was reacting to me looking in its general direction, then probably sus.
00:16:30
Speaker
Probably a suspect that we haven't considered yet. You know what? I love i love that logic. you know That's probably how it how you know I didn't see it, but that that sounds sound to me. Yeah. yeah We have probable cause to investigate, so let's do it.
00:16:47
Speaker
wait we all say Wait. Hang on, we're missing somebody. well Yeah, Sammy said that Walter's not here. Oh my god, wait. Walter? Where's Walter?
00:16:59
Speaker
where did you Sammy's gonna shake Hikaru. How did you not notice Walter wasn't here? my god, I'm such a bad friend. Bill's looking at you quizzically. Like, who who's Walter?
00:17:12
Speaker
Okay, so Sammy starts shaking Bill. How did you not notice what Walter wasn't here? I'm not a part of your party. I saw you guys like once when I told you about the investigation. and And there was four of us, not three. Yeah, you're counting there's three of us.
00:17:26
Speaker
You know, simple math. Look, I've had to do what... Look, I've dealt with 15 different cases today, okay? Give me a break. You're the Smiths, Will. a billionium Billy. Billy, we don't need you anymore.
00:17:38
Speaker
Yep, that's my name, Billy. Billy. Okay. Gosh.
00:17:46
Speaker
okay Okay. So are we missing someone? yeah i think Yeah, we are missing someone. Do you want to history to see GBA to see if there was any updates from him.
00:17:59
Speaker
No, you guys remember. This happened like literally two seconds ago. Oh, right. In game time. um Okay, but can still check? He gave us a text update from the last time we heard him.
00:18:10
Speaker
Yeah, you open up your GBA and the last thing you see is him posing in front of a meth lab like it's his meth lab.
00:18:19
Speaker
oh walter later walter walter yes we we so should should we go in and look for him yeah maybe one of us can uh one of us can stand guard outside um and and i guess you guys can go in and check on walter if he's in there and might I mean, sure.
00:18:40
Speaker
i might be the best one to do it. i might have i bet I might be a bit more immune to any kind of effects than you guys are, considering I have thick fat and a lot of things don't bother me. I mean, it's not like I have immunity.
00:18:51
Speaker
That'd a different story, but... Good point, Sammy. If things are on fire... i Well, I couldn't walk into fire. We already determined that with the whole Walter's House on Fire thing, but...
00:19:07
Speaker
I can take some heat. You sure can.
00:19:13
Speaker
So are you heading in there? Do you want me to go with you or what? yeah I do hope the cop didn't hear anything about what I said about Walter's house. do i but no Nobody set a house on fire.
00:19:24
Speaker
Okay, cool. He didn't hear it. Awesome. No.
00:19:28
Speaker
Yeah, i can I can go in and look for him. Yeah, we're good. Everything's fine. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Okay, so are you heading around back or are you hope going through the... Are you going back where Walter went are you going through the front door?
00:19:40
Speaker
No, I'll go back around where Walter went. That makes the most sense. Why would I go through the front door by saying going back? So you go around to the back of the house and you see an open window. um And yeah, you don't need to roll for it. You see a meth lab and on the floor you see an unconscious and seemingly dead Walter.
00:19:56
Speaker
Okay, I will immediately text the group chat and say... Guys, Wata is passed out inside of the meth lab. Could be dead. And I need you to roll perception.
00:20:08
Speaker
Okay. 19. You smell a sweet gas that you recognize from a description of the people you interrogated. The ciphers.
00:20:21
Speaker
Okay, I will update the chat. It smells kind of like... You recognize it as knockout. As knockout gas? yeah right Yeah, you recognize it as knockout gas, basically. It smells funny back here. Kind of smells like what the the Cypress peoples.
00:20:35
Speaker
Was it the Cypress or the Cyphers? this is The Cyphers. The Cypresses were the rich people. Yes, I was trying to. Okay. Yeah. yeah Yeah. I confused myself with that earlier when I was getting ready for the episode. Funnily enough. Oh, you guys are here now.
00:20:52
Speaker
Are Bruce and I still outside? Yes. You guys are out of the front of the house. That's why I'm texting it to you. How are we reacting when we get the text messages?
00:21:03
Speaker
One more thing. By the way, Sammy, you are now high again. Fuck! What? Really? You just got done being... And i don't know, how do you guys react?
00:21:16
Speaker
I rolled yeah i ruleed a constitution. Okay, what did you roll? 18 plus 1, 19. nineteen Okay, in that case, you're no longer high.
00:21:29
Speaker
I shook it off. I know nothing bad. Outside, we're like... i guess we found the source of the knockout gas.
00:21:40
Speaker
I send them a picture of I send them a selfie of me in front of Walter's passed out body.
00:21:50
Speaker
swear to God, you guys and Walter like actually is dead. You're like, ha ha, look at this corpse I found. Look at this dumbass. Oh my gosh, I hope Walter's okay.
00:22:01
Speaker
i hope that i hope walter's okay
00:22:07
Speaker
By the way, when you send that, you can hear a bling from a notification from Walter's GPA.
00:22:13
Speaker
Oh, wait. As you hit send, you hear a bling from Walter's GPA. I text the group. Well, Walter's GPA still works.
00:22:22
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, so bru Bruce sends the the message of, i do you think that the gas is flammable?
00:22:31
Speaker
I have no way of testing this. Actually, I do. I can throw a blast seed in there. But that could blow up Walter.
00:22:40
Speaker
Hecarus sees the message. local Flammable? What are you... Wait, Bruce. I mean, I want to know to be safe to make sure that if I go in there, the whole house isn't going to boom.
00:22:51
Speaker
Yeah, you won't spontaneously combust. I guess the same thing, because I've got electricity and I could probably... like Oh man, I really was the best choice to check this As long as you don't spark, you'd be fine.
00:23:03
Speaker
Sammy, you don't hear us talking. No, just out of character. i was like, wait, I really was the best choice. Okay. Wait, oh, can I throw a warp seat at Walter? Uh, sure, I don't see why not.
00:23:15
Speaker
i mean, that'll warp him to some random spot in the city. Shit. Or at least the neighborhood. That's why I asked him out. I really wish you hadn't pointed to that out, Eli.
00:23:29
Speaker
yeah Otherwise, he would have warped him outside of the house. I am very much, I... I wouldn't have. I had the same thought as Eli, I was gonna pick a random spot Vulcan Bird.
00:23:40
Speaker
I know. But hey, Sammy doesn't know this. hey Yeah. Sammy knows how warp seeds work. we We explored this extensively.
00:23:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:54
Speaker
I have Reviver Seeds I could give him. Well, okay, can i can I go investigate the body? Yes, you can, but i will want I will say that Sammy knows that if you get closer, the effects of the gas will be stronger, and you will then force be rolling with disadvantage for constitution.
00:24:13
Speaker
How do I get him out without going inside? Can I get a really long stick and push him out of the house? He can't be that far inside, right? He's i mean yeah he's like a good 10 or so feet inside the house.
00:24:26
Speaker
so Maybe if you want to try and hook him out, but i mean he's a full body. so like it's kind of He's hes zo a full guy. ah You can throw reviver seed at him.
00:24:37
Speaker
What if I use defense curl and put a bubble around myself?
00:24:45
Speaker
Oh, Uh, that would increase your defense by two. I'll say you can add that to your con modifier if you want to, uh, if you want to enter the house.
00:24:56
Speaker
I like that idea.
00:25:01
Speaker
So, uh, you go ahead and use defense girl then? Uh, cause I can't see, like, you know, it's what, ten feet in? So I can't see it taking too long to get him out. No, it wouldn't take too long, I wouldn't think. right let's Yeah, let's do that then. I'll roll i'll roll for defense.
00:25:14
Speaker
I don't have to roll for that, just happens. Never mind. No, it just happens, yeah. Yeah, so we'll do that. And then I'll roll for
Ice Cream Antics and Interrogation
00:25:22
Speaker
con. Yeah, roll for disadvantage, but plus two.
00:25:27
Speaker
Okay, I dropped my die. My other die is right here. Okay, disadvantage.
00:25:35
Speaker
Wow, those are very similar. I rolled a 16 and a 17, so let's take the 16 and bump it up to 18. Okay, cool. Wait, wait, hang on, that's 19 because I have one in tough, so 19.
00:25:46
Speaker
nineteen Okay, there you go. Nothing happens. You grab Walter's body and you make it out of the house unscathed. Okay, while I'm carrying him, do I hear breathing? Yes, he is breathing.
00:25:58
Speaker
Cool. I will walk him up front and place him in front of the group then. So Bill walks up, he's like, oh my god, what happened? found them passed out inside the house.
00:26:10
Speaker
The house is full of this um gas that kind of smells like knockout gas. Kind of like what the grow vials were talking about at the bank. Yeah, yeah, it's probably whatever. Yeah, yeah, that.
00:26:22
Speaker
Okay, well, in that case, he kind of woke up after a couple hours, so I'm going to assume that he'll also wake up, but I'm sure if we just heal him or wake him up. Were you supposed to let him sleep for hours? want him to carry around that much.
00:26:38
Speaker
Do any of you guys have a reviver's seed? Yeah. Do we need a reviver's seed? Oh, he's fainted. Yeah, I got a tiny reviver's seed I can pot with.
00:26:52
Speaker
Good one. Yeah, I have one too. Um, I have five. I have four. Yeah. Can I just throw a blast seed at him? I also have four. You want to throw a blast seed at him?
00:27:03
Speaker
What? Nuts! let's Let's just use one of Hikaru's reviver seeds, because Hikaru has five and we have four each, so. Ah, that's fair. Okay. we We've got plenty of reviver seeds.
00:27:19
Speaker
Yeah. okay and And I have a full Reviver Seed. Oh, fancy. oh Do we need a full Reviver Seed? No, because the full Reviver Seed just recovers move yeah as We haven't used PP.
00:27:39
Speaker
Tiny One just says it revives Pokemon That Faints, but like by how much? It's to full health, it's but they don't get anything else back. Really? Like stat changes for anything? That's not how it works in the game.
00:27:50
Speaker
I thought it was plugs you to half HP. Oh, interesting. You're thinking of revive the main series. I'm just going to say the small Viver Seed brings you to half HP, the full one brings you to full HP. going to keep it simple. That sounds fine. I like that.
00:28:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:06
Speaker
Okay, so just to describe like what's ah what Hikaru's feeling and thinking, um Hikaru is trembling. shes She's really worried about her friend, Walter.
00:28:17
Speaker
um And she she quickly takes out a revive one of her tiny reviver seeds, runs over to Walter, and puts it down next to him. Alright. um how do use It has to be ingested.
00:28:34
Speaker
Oh, okay. think you could technically throw it at them. was going say, based on the seed, like, if you throw it would work. Yeah, I was going to say, I would accept throwing it at him. Just throw the seed at him. yeah Well, she's already close up, so she can just put it in his mouth.
00:28:49
Speaker
yeah Yeah, you can. Okay. I just love the image of throwing the seed at him bring it back to life. So you put it in his mouth, and you sit back for about ten seconds, and nothing happens.
00:29:04
Speaker
And after some time, Walter finally wakes up. And, uh... Walter, welcome back. I live! Wait, what does ta- I didn't hear you for the last five seconds. Well, good to see you're okay, Walter.
00:29:20
Speaker
I carried you out of a building. Where'd pirate Pi- Pirate? Huh? I s- I swear was on a boat. No, you were in the house with a man. Oh gosh, Walter, you're alive! No, you got knocked out by knockout gas.
00:29:34
Speaker
I'm so glad you're okay. um You went into the meth lab and it was full of knockout gas and you passed out. Roll for hug! Roll for hug!
00:29:45
Speaker
Walter just confused what's happening. He don't remember the past five seconds. We haven't done that since Ark 1. Even if Walter doesn't get it because he's so dazed. So, you remember that leafy on, right? I'm so glad you're okay. What happened in the house?
00:30:02
Speaker
Last thing we saw, you were posing in front of this... Roll history. okay so You were posing in front of a mess. house We thought she was down to us. And so we came back and found out she runs a meth lab. Science equipment?
00:30:15
Speaker
Jake, I just want to point out... And so you had the cops, and then you decided to go into the meth lab for some reason, and doesn't know what got yourself knocked out by some gas in the lab. Walter, check out that cool selfie I took. It's in the group chat.
00:30:30
Speaker
And that's about it. Yeah, I was going to say, your GPA is pointing out... Oh, Kara saw some green thing. what time You guys are all talking over each other too.
00:30:44
Speaker
What? Did you see my cool picture? I took a picture next to your dead body. I don't have the capacity to talk to three
00:30:58
Speaker
But ah yeah, your DPA has a notification light on it, so.
00:31:04
Speaker
I'm going to wait to give Hikaru hug. He's like, sure. Hell yeah, we're doing roll for hug. Yeah, roll for hug! What do I roll? I don't even remember this. d20. It's just a flat d20.
00:31:16
Speaker
Yes. Quality of hug.
00:31:26
Speaker
car misses. I think just Bill's here. I think the cops left. Oh, okay. ay Uh... Yeah, so basically what the the others just said, and, uh, there was also some random green blob that Kikaru just saw at the end of the street, and it ducked away as soon as she noticed it.
00:31:44
Speaker
All remember was... something about a house. I went inside, and I was out. Yeah, it was the knockout gas. Man, that sucks. I'm a dog. That's probably really effective.
00:32:00
Speaker
What's a dog? Who's saying that? Shut up God.
00:32:04
Speaker
Shut up, God. That's the first time we told the voice and the guyish the voice in the sky to shut up.
00:32:14
Speaker
Won't be the last. Okay, Bill ah looks at you guys, he's like, well, the interrogation is about to start if you guys are... Oh, you don't know. um We took Chai over to the interrogation room. We're waiting on you guys so we can go so you guys witness the interrogation.
00:32:30
Speaker
you You already told us that. I said, why would we want to go? think we should go to interrogation. Um...
00:32:40
Speaker
Sure, I guess. I'm a bit worried about that just law blob you guys just told me about. I'd rather go find Estion. <unk> Can we can this wait till later?
00:32:51
Speaker
I have the others are waiting on us. Like right now. Billion, you go do whatever you gotta do. We still got shit we gotta do. I feel like this might be kind of important for you guys.
00:33:02
Speaker
I really don't think some of us should go. and I think some of us should go to the police. God wink wink right now. Yeah, that's why I strongly urge that you join us. That's why I'm saying let's not do it. Come on, let's fight let's figure out what the espion's doing.
00:33:17
Speaker
Let's just go with it. I think at least some of us should go to the police station. For what? I'll go with it. Why do we need to be involved in the interrogation? Because we're investigating the case. It'll be it'll give us clues more clues on the case.
00:33:31
Speaker
Also, I'm a little bit too... Yeah, what he said, she's an accomplice. I'm feeling a bit after effects from the gas. I'm little- I ain't working 100% right now. Alright.
00:33:43
Speaker
Uh, yeah. guys are the lead investigators in this case. I highly suggest you come take a look at this evidence that we're about to extract. I mean, no we're not. You're not paying us for this? Sammy! Sammy! Sammy! They are paying us for this! Sammy!
00:33:55
Speaker
We are literally paying you for this. Hold on, I just put shoulder over Sammy's shoulder. The police are not paying for this, and now that I say that, and everyone's like, yes, you are. Hold on. The other person puts his hand over his shoulder's like neck like, Sammy, if we do this, we information, and the faster we get information, the faster we get paid, and they may know or be able to help us find the espion faster.
00:34:20
Speaker
But we know where the espion is. She's in our office doing paperwork like no for no reason. Also, I'd love if we could get police back up As a fighting type, she I don't want to fight a psychic. i have fought sight I have faced a psychic move.
00:34:34
Speaker
I don't want to face it again. i mean, that's fair.
00:34:38
Speaker
I have PTSD, Sammy.
00:34:43
Speaker
Walter, come with just just just walk with us, but like take a rest. I'll carry you if you need to. i you know You've carried me before, I can carry you. I got you out of the house.

00:35:33
Speaker
And Bill is like, well, this is a police station. If you go inside, and there should be ah someone at the front desk, I'll tell you where to go. I gotta to go drop these off. And he holds up like a satchel.

00:36:47
Speaker
Yeah. So, yeah, you guys go inside, and you guys can see the fridge. It's like water cooler. I'm listening to Hikaru and Sammy. 50 bucks, that's a payoff. They're paying someone off. Because they're covering it.

I'm still on the cops are dirty.
00:37:07

This whole time. Man, ice cream sundaes are just going to blow your mind, Sammy. This whole time? could have just told me that this is ice cream? Like... I mean, I've tried a couple different times.
00:38:23
Speaker
could have swore when you we got you ice cream before. Have 15 years, Sammy. Hasn't had ice cream.
00:38:31
Speaker
It's been 25 years since I've seen this. Since I've heard the tale of ice cream. It's probably an exaggeration because I'm only like 18 or something, but like it feels like it's been 15 years. What the heck?
00:38:43
Speaker
This is ice cream? and ah Can I roll to see how much ice cream I ate? Uh, sure, roll a d100. roll a brain freeze. Will he take ice damage if he gets brain freeze?
00:38:56
Speaker
We're gonna find out.
00:39:03
Speaker
Do you have a d100 handy, Sean?
00:39:07
Speaker
I think he went to go get it. Oh, he might have, yeah.
00:39:13

00:39:54
Speaker
Make him roll tough, see how much brain freeze he takes. No, he just... How much brain damage he takes? No, I'm not going to that. But ah you have eaten 65 pounds of ice cream. How do you feel about this?
00:40:07
Speaker
Like, my life is... My life's journey is complete. I found out ice i found ice cream in the police station of all places. And this is where we find out that Sammy is lactose and to intolerant.
00:40:23

00:41:50
Speaker
Sammy would not do that. Oh, I think we should. Nope. We should. Well, should. should. So unless Hikaru remembered to contact her, we did not.
00:42:03
Speaker
So, go ahead and roll, uh, do you want to is the question, Evelyn. Hmm. Does Hikaru want to, huh. Did you think it? Were you too worried about Walter?
00:42:14
Speaker
Like, would would Selena have come with us at the police station? Uh, yeah. To see the interrogation, since she didn't know about it before. and I'm gonna make a fair so we're not metagaming it too much. If you do want her to come, i'll have you roll a history check to see if you remember to tell her.
00:42:30
Speaker
Oh, uh... Yeah. Um, I'll roll history. Okay. That is a not... That is a zero modifier. Ooh, 15! 15!

Speaker
With one of their four legs. I don't know. We've called her before. It's fine. Just call her.
00:43:16
Speaker
Where was she when we were at the house? When you guys were at the house? oh yeah That's why we're calling her. oh um. kind ditched her after we've talked to the espionage.
00:43:30
Speaker
Hikaru dials Selina and co. Honestly, you're not wrong. Okay, so a hologram pops up. so
00:43:37
Speaker
Yeah, a hologram pops up of Selina and you see fucking rave lights and like a DJ in the corner and Selina is clearly at a party. And she looks at her...
Cult Pursuit and Dream Chaos
00:43:49
Speaker
She looks at her GPS and is like, oh, what the? Oh, Evelyn, hi, what?
00:43:56

Speaker
Don't worry, we didn't get arrested.
00:44:18
Speaker
Uh, okay, I'll be there in a second. Abyss, Bri, uh, we need to go. And you can see Abyss and Bri hop into frame. And, uh, the call drops.
00:44:28
Speaker
Please tell me they come in here with glow sticks are on them. They get in the frame just to hang up. A couple, a couple, i was just, it's just my way of saying that that they're with her. They exist. So yes, they exist.
00:44:41
Speaker
So a couple of minutes pass and you see Selena and crew with glow sticks around their neck and like so those seventies, like slit shades. And they're clearly in party attire and they're like, uh, hello, we made it. Uh, may ask what's happening?
00:44:56
Speaker
Well, you guys got here. guys Glad you guys enjoy the music.
00:45:01
Speaker
Uh, you guys look out the window and you guys see like a rave going on in the house across the street. That's a bold move for that was without party. Oh yeah, right across to the police station. That's a bold move. bold move.
00:45:17
Speaker
oh Hey guys, I know we live across the street from the police station, but let's have a, let's have a rager. Yeah, so, uh, Selina asks again, uh, what are we doing here? Um, we caught one of the culprits.
00:45:36
Speaker
Oh, oh, the investigation! Yeah, yeah, forgot you guys were doing that. Yeah, because we need money. Yeah, you've been gone since we met the green thing. the Yeah, um. Yeah, her.
00:45:50
Speaker
Yeah. but Thing. Yes, thing is an accurate description. Yeah, so it was the Leafeon. Were you there? Was Selina there?
00:46:01
Speaker
No, she does not know the Leafeon. She's been gone since we met the Green thing. Well, we found ah well one of our suspects was a Leafeon, and um she got brought into the police station, so we're here to listen to the interrogation.
00:46:16
Speaker
Okay, so we're about to find out everything about the case then, I assume. I think so. It could go as well. Yeah. Okay, cool. I guess you guys fine with that?
00:46:27
Speaker
They both nod their heads and they're like, yeah. So, um, front door fish also pops and is like, so is this everybody? Can I let you guys in now? Yeah. That's all of us.
00:46:38
Speaker
Okay, okay. ah He leads you into the back room and shows you a door in the side of the hallway that says interrogation. It opens up and you guys enter a very dark room with a window going across the entire room.
00:46:54
Speaker
um It is clearly a one-sided mirror. Man, I wish Jennifer was here. She loves crime shows. Jennifer the Rock? Yeah. Poor Jennifer.
00:47:05
Speaker
Jennifer the Rock. Okay. Uh, yeah, so you guys are in there and you guys see a, um, you guys see a Gible in the interrogation room as well. It's like, uh, hello.
00:47:20
Speaker
My name is Harold Jr. and I, um, I take it, I take it you guys are the ones here for the interrogation. Yeah, obviously. anyway Anyway, um, I think we met your dad.
00:47:35
Speaker
Did you?
00:47:37
Speaker
Is he there? Yeah? yeah Yeah, we definitely met Yeah, he in Gale Beach. yeah Yeah, we live in Gale Beach. Oh, cool. Yeah, he's cool. Oh, neat. That's awesome.
00:47:50
Speaker
Anyway, we got a... They brought in this... they They said, you know who this is. It's some Leafeon. I think it's tied to the bank robbery case.
00:48:01
Speaker
Anyway, they're about to start the investigation. You guys ready? Yep. Are we like watching from behind like a glass mirror or something? Yes, you guys are watching wood from behind a one... There's some ice cream in a fridge.
00:48:17
Speaker
No, there's not.
00:48:20
Speaker
The best thing was that there was ice cream in the fridge. All right. Well, um anyway, he pulls out a radio and he's like, all right, the others are here. Finally, we can begin the interrogation.
00:48:32
Speaker
And you see a you see a zero ore. No, wait, is there an ore mythical? Hold on a second. Yes. Yes. Okay, I can't i can't use zero ore. Damn it. ah You see of herdier. You see a herdier walk in leading a Leafeon in chains around her legs.
00:48:51
Speaker
Why is herdier like your go-to thing if you can't think of something? Is it? When was the last time I used a herdier? Uh, I think there was one in like, ah. I think it was in the speakeasy, right?
00:49:03
Speaker
It was in the speakeasy. College, yes. college yes so Oh, the front desk guy, right? Yeah. It's because their beard works for everything. Oh, yeah, there was also the... ah Oh, that never got used.
00:49:18
Speaker
Wait, wait, hold on. There was one in the college and then there one in the Christmas special. There was like yeah size or herier or or the... herdier. Oh, great.
00:49:29
Speaker
This is the third herdier. Yeah, that got expanded on in the Patreon episode for the court case. But, uh... So, Herdeer comes in.
00:49:40
Speaker
You can see a badge on his... You can see a name on his badge that says Herdeer. And he was bringing in a Leafeon who sits down in the chair ah across on the table.
00:49:52
Speaker
The Herdeer speaks up. So... Bank robbery, eh? Kind of busted here for that one. The Leafeon is silent. Not really. We didn't actually do that.
00:50:05
Speaker
This is how the Terrenations Okay, so we can do this two ways. You can either tell us what we want to know, or we can hold you in contempt until we decide you're clear or you're guilty, in which case we will hold you under trial, out of character. I have no idea if this is how it actually works, but this is what I'm going with.
00:50:25
Speaker
Are you sure they have the right to remain silent?
00:50:28
Speaker
The Hurtier pipes up. There's no Miranda law in this land. So anything you say will be used against you. Something, something, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:39
Speaker
So does that mean torture is an option? the ah The Hurtier looks at the wall and he hears some like weird mumbling. Wait, how do you hear Hikaru the first time? So the Leafeon stays silent.
00:50:53
Speaker
And the Hurtier is also silent. And they stay silent for about a minute. Alright, ah looks like we're not really getting anywhere. Right, well, I'm gonna try and be nice with you, but da if you don't want that to be the case, I can always bring in someone a little more gruff for you, if that's how you like it.
00:51:13
Speaker
I'll leave you on Stay Silent. I keep saying the leafy on her name's chai. Um, the herd here stands up. It's like, all right, well, if is how going to be, then,
00:51:27
Speaker
it a heard but her ear stands up like right well if this is how it's gonna be and I'll leave you here for a bit. And he gets up and leaves the room.
00:51:39
Speaker
And about five minutes passes. Of which, in which you guys see that Chai has done absolutely nothing in the entire time After some time, bill the arcan i comes back and enters interrogation so ah friend heardier er tells me that you're not ah cooperating is that the
00:52:01
Speaker
Things are going to get a little bit different for you from here on out. You see, based on the charges we got you at right now, you're looking at about 20 years in jail, right? Now, if you decide not to speak up, we can just arbitrarily put you in jail.
00:52:14
Speaker
And that's that. And no one blinks an eye. Now, if you can give us information on who else is involved in this case, we might be able to lessen that sentence, let's say to about 10 years maybe.
00:52:28
Speaker
Because we know you're involved. We know that was knockout gas in the back of your house. You may have smashed your vials and stuff, but that's... Didn't get rid of the evidence fast enough. So... The Chai Deletheon. I need you guys to roll Perception.
00:52:43
Speaker
One of you guys roll Perception. I'll do it. 8 plus 2, 10. You see tear going down Chai's eye.
00:52:58
Speaker
Oh, don't make this feel bad for you. And you hear her say, long-lived silver cult. And you see her chewing on something. And she falls on her side, foam coming out of her mouth.
00:53:12
Speaker
And dies. You know, I think I saw a movie like this one. Hikaru gasps. And the Gible is like, holy fucking shit. Uh, guys, interrogation room now.
00:53:29
Speaker
And you see Hurti and the Freddorfish enter the interrogation room and take away the body. That's super effective. That's just grass. It was poison. and oh i I got it.
00:53:43
Speaker
What did I just see? Huh. What did she just say about the cult? Silver Cult?
00:53:54
Speaker
Silver Cult. Wait. What's the name of the Espeon again? That's not the cult that I got possessed in. Uh-huh. Silver's got her own cult?
00:54:06
Speaker
I don't mean to be speciesist or anything, but they're Eeveelutions.
00:54:13
Speaker
Wow. You can see Selina, Abyss, and Breon. Yeah. Did you say that out loud? Oh Yeah, I just like muttered it out loud, but not at anybody in particular. Selina listened to me like, what the fuck, man? Jesus, we're right here. don't act like you're angels. I'm sorry.
00:54:35
Speaker
Like, to be fair, that's not the first time she said something like that to Espeon. She's like, what kind of Pokemon are you?
00:54:44
Speaker
That's true. So, yeah, Selina, Abyss, and Bree. Selina specifically seems completely unfazed, but Bree is fucking freaking out.
00:54:57
Speaker
She is shaking. Selina, I know you guys have some kind of history together. And it looks on the a panic attack. Is there anything you can tell us about Silver?
00:55:06
Speaker
Silver? i She was a bank teller back in Hawkeye. Yeah, she was really mean, but and don't think she's cult.
00:55:19
Speaker
No, I don't think that i has anything to... No, it can't be. So... Silveri was in Hawkeye? Can I roll insight on that?
00:55:30
Speaker
Yeah, go ahead and roll insight. Anyone else think the bank's also going to part the cult now?
00:55:38
Speaker
13 plus 2, 15. She runs the bank. She's probably running it. I knew it! That Charmander is evil! yeah yeah You remember that... You remember Selena telling you that Silver was the bank teller for the last 8 years in Hawkeye when she lived in Hawkeye.
00:55:57
Speaker
Is she running a bank crime empire? like Is she going from bank to bank? you She used to be a bank teller. She did not own the bank in Hawkeye. So she's Valkenburg now. so when did she get to Valkenburg? She transferred into management.
00:56:12
Speaker
Yeah, she she ah transferred very recently because Selina was surprised that she had left Hawkeye, if you remember. So, very recently. So, let's go find her. and was it like a year or two? I don't remember. Something like that.
00:56:25
Speaker
Anyone else with the goal, let's go find her? That's been my goal since we got the Leafy on. I said we should go to Espeon. Yeah, but now we got actual proof to take her in and not just um theories.
00:56:39
Speaker
Probable Cosmos, let's go. Probable Cosmos, yeah, we did have that. So yeah, you guys start to head outside and you find that the body of Chai is just laying in the middle of the lobby.

Speaker
I was going to pick the funniest location to put a dead body It warps right in front of Silver. oh my It's like a warning, we're coming for you. That would be bad. we we need to catch Silver by surprise, if possible.

01:04:13
Speaker
Veronica told me about you. Yes. Uh... Okay. It's nice to meet you, but... um I gotta go before she gets away.
01:04:26
Speaker

01:05:19
Speaker

01:05:29
Speaker
Surprisingly, yes. Oh wait, I'm Veronica. Shit. Surprisingly, yes. And Veronica's like, uh, well, no, but maybe, it's complicated.
01:05:44
Speaker
Wow. Veronica picks Walter up and heads back to the police station, where she can clearly see the rest of you guys are. Shit mom, she leaves you with the abusive father so she can go hook up with a singer.
01:05:58
Speaker
So Veronica takes you back to the group and and she walks in and stares at a dead body on the ground. And she drops Walter. She's like, what the fuck have you guys been doing?
01:06:11
Speaker
you see the police officers dragging the body? or is of Please tell me walks in when Sean is taking the photo. Yes, she walks in and Sammy's taking a selfie with the photo.
01:06:23
Speaker
And you guys are all staring at the body.
01:06:29
Speaker
Uh... I... What? some Somebody please explain? hey everybody, it's the famous thingy from the Gravel Rocks.
01:06:41
Speaker
Veronica. I'm so sorry you had to see that. But, shit. oh Right. ah I'll explain this with you later. Can we ah move this body somewhere?
01:06:55
Speaker
I can help with that. Right. And she steps out of the way as Bill hoists the body up on his back and takes her down the street. Just dragging the body down the street.
01:07:10
Speaker
What the fuck?
01:07:14
Speaker
Nobody is alerted by the most famous singer in the Alkaz region walking into the police station. Can somebody please explain? Yeah, and Hikaru was still staring at the body, so as um as she heard the voice behind her, her like ears perked up, and then she like turned around and saw Veronica.
01:07:33
Speaker
Yeah, you see Veronica and Jeremy, and and ger is like
01:07:42
Speaker
right and jeremy's like well god damn that's fucking sick jeremy's cool he's a heavy rocker jeremy's from the gravel rocks what are you doing here yeah that's me uh i'm surprised you know my name i'm a decently recent addition
01:08:03
Speaker
Wait, I thought he was the most famous singer in the Alkaz region. no Veronica. Veronica was the lead singer. Yeah, Veronica is the lead singer. And Jeremy states that he is a recent addition.
01:08:15
Speaker
Jeremy, what are you doing here? um With Veronica. say Veronica Pipeshop. Well, actually, yeah yeah, he's with me. people were just ah on a... She blushes on a date.
01:08:31
Speaker
Wasn't expecting to see guys. We were going to go to this party for a bit, but... Oh, the one across the street? Yeah. She's going to the rave. They were going to the rave. Yeah, they were going to the rave.
01:08:45
Speaker
Of course they are. Wait, is it night out? Uh, no. No. Okay. It's during the daytime, I guess. It's a day rave. Man, Valkenburg is wild.
01:08:56
Speaker
Yeah, they have national, uh... Domestic Terrorism Day. Citywide Domestic Terrorist Day. They got day raves.
01:09:10
Speaker
They have a whole street just full of terrorists.
01:09:14
Speaker
Apparently the block was. Um, but... Yeah, Veronica's like, well, I wasn't... That wasn't Walter who did it, was it not that Not this time. No, that was a suicide.
01:09:33
Speaker
but To be fair, he actually hasn't killed anyone yet. He tried to punch somebody and then he got knocked out. And then he... ah That's really all he's done. Maybe we should say that in a police station, Sammy. It was self-defense.
01:09:45
Speaker
No, we're not. Shut up, you're dead. Walter says sleep talking, so it's not. definitely provoked it. Shut up, you're asleep.
01:09:57
Speaker
it's ah i I think it's at this point that you wake up, Walter. You can be a part of the conversation again. ah I had a strange dream. Walter, check out this cool picture I got of you sleeping.
01:10:08
Speaker
You pull yourself in. You have no idea how tempted I am, just a metal claw about I'm gonna call you back later. I'm gonna try not to think about this right
Walter's Past and Pokémon Jokes
01:10:19
Speaker
now.
01:10:19
Speaker
And she pulls Jeremy out of the police station and back into the street. Can I just say this above board? my mom sucks. She left me with the abusive father just to hook up with the singer.
01:10:32
Speaker
Man, I wanted to get her autographed. Walter has two shitty parents. Man, no, you're right. Okay, so you guys are going back to the bank?
01:10:44
Speaker
I'm never evolving. I'm never-ev- oh my god! Wal- Walter's just gonna de-evolve into a new form. He's just an egg. He's just an egg. He just goes back into the egg. It's like the- It's like primate- not primate- the fighting monkey that turns a ghost type, cause rage. Yeah, you're right, primate. It's just the depressed version.
01:11:04
Speaker
so No, no, no, no. Walter turns into... Have you guys played Pal World by any chance? No. What's a Pal World? was going to say Walter evolves Depresso.
01:11:15
Speaker
ah oh my god, that makes sense. Yes, yes it would.
01:11:21
Speaker
All know is that Walter has to evolve sometime in the next 20 years into Lucario. She has to be happy at least once. He'll get happy at least once in the next 20 years.
01:11:36
Speaker
Maybe when he gets kissed by, I don't know, his future wife. That's it. One kiss and that's it. He goes back to being miserable.
01:11:47
Speaker
It's just enough to take it over the evolution mark, and then he's back to being miserable. No, no, he's probably just got drugged up. That's how he got he's happy. He just got druggy happy. i don't think that counts for evolution.
01:12:01
Speaker
I don't know. You can mean give Pokemon drugs to make them happy, I think. No, the Sootheville. I mean, hey, i could never yeah I can't confirm or deny, but like, you know, maybe the future will work together.
01:12:12
Speaker
Are they absolute um evolution stones like drugs? I don't know. I've never tried one. The permanent enhancements. Is that what water sun really is? He grinded up and it's just blue mess.
01:12:25
Speaker
Oh i know Alright. No. Let's get away from the point of how Walter is depressed. get back to the game. Yeah, let's uh, you guys are going to the bank.
01:12:38
Speaker
Dude, I don't even know anymore. Walter's a sitting. He's debating his life.
01:12:47
Speaker
Let's throw him back on top of a bus.
01:12:51
Speaker
but Put him on top of the dog.
01:12:56
Speaker
Can I pet that dog? So, ah okay, you guys going back to the bank to find silver? I believe so. Yeah. Okay. The bank's not too far away from you guys.
01:13:07
Speaker
You guys go outside more being more depressed than you were when you came in. And eventually guys walk up to the big sprawling bank that is the Volkenberg Bank.
01:13:18
Speaker
Sammy's depressed because he wasn't able to get an autograph from a famous singer.
01:13:23
Speaker
He's got ice cream depression. Oh no, you beat me. Too much ice cream. Oh, by the way, I need Sammy to roll, uh, I need Sammy to roll Constitution. I didn't take a train. No, you didn't.
01:13:36
Speaker
You did eat 65 pounds of ice cream, though.
Barry the Eppelin's Mystery
01:13:40
Speaker
Uh, 9 plus 1 is 10. Brain freeze. So you start to get rashes on your skin. Oh, And this is when you realize that you are you are allergic to ice cream.
01:13:52
Speaker
Dang. What the heck is an ice cream that can make you allergic to ice cream? Bruce, I don't feel too good. like My skin's all kind of red and itchy. Happiness. It is a light rash. It's nothing serious.
01:14:05
Speaker
Is it made of a different type of milk than what ah what's in the pizza? Um, I don't know. It's just Vanillex puke. What? It's Vanillex puke.
01:14:16
Speaker
Gross. Vanillex puke. So it's not made of Moo Moo milk, then? I don't know. What other kinds of milks are there in the Pokemon world? Should i even ask that? Oh, I think the milks can come from either Milktank the other one.
01:14:31
Speaker
don't like a Bufalant milkshake. No, Bufalants can be female. Okay, thank God. don't They're all milks. Good point. I think like mozzarella would specifically come from Bufalant.
01:14:47
Speaker
Oh my god, can we get off the subject? Bleh. You started to make it tick uncomfortable. I was just depressed. Don't make me uncomfortable. Don't make me sick.
01:15:01
Speaker
So yeah, Sammy has a light reaction to ice cream.
01:15:07
Speaker
Which may explain why he doesn't eat an ice cream in 15 years. I think I need to talk to my parent ice cream. I think I figured out why they don't keep it in the house. Which is funny, because you cooked, you baked ice cream once.
01:15:20
Speaker
Yeah, it might not have been actual ice cream. We might have to go back there and figure out what happened. i realize It was a sleeping Vanillox. Oh no. It's like almond ice cream.
01:15:32
Speaker
Oh, milk. Okay, okay. So you guys are standing in front of the bank, and you guys, I need someone to roll perception. I can do it since I haven't done much. Yeah, Jake hasn't done it.

01:27:02
Speaker
Do you have any idea what that book contains? Yes. Well, no. I don't think you do. Listen, what we gotta find her because she's a cult leader.
01:27:13
Speaker
We gotta get her back before she gets away. like we should i think well I think we'll learn a lot. I think we'll learn and we'll learn more about the investigation from going in. i don't know. I'm kind of with Walter on this one. We don't have to rush.
01:27:27
Speaker
Fine. We'll talk to you. Just speed it up. So you guys are gonna come? I don't know, I think Walter's... This whole time I've been wanting to go after him and Walter's on, and you know, ah with me at least on this one for for this time.
01:27:41
Speaker
I do think we should do it. Blair looks at you says, like, look, if you guys aren't going to stay here and listen what I have to say, then I'm coming with you because holy shit, you need to know what's in this book.
01:27:56
Speaker
I suggested that first! Alright, let's go!
01:28:00
Speaker
Yeah, i think we should I think we should see what's in the book. I mean, isn't that what our whole- and talk, walk and talk. Can't she tell us on the train? Yeah, it is. What train? I'm not leaving the city. I still have a fucking library to run.
01:28:15
Speaker
Like, this whole this whole this whole bank robbery thing was like a side quest at best. if If anything, it like- Here's my question. Do you know where she went? I'm guessing to the train to run.
01:28:28
Speaker
Okay, then why are you chasing after her if you have no idea where to go? The bounty. What you mean the bounty? My man! High five! Putting the bounty over the... Over us solving the time rifts?
01:28:45
Speaker
It's a copy! This has nothing to do with the time rifts. Yeah, this does. This has everything to do. The whole book was about the time rifts and orbs.
01:28:56
Speaker
No, the robber. Exactly. This is more important than the robbery. yeah Blair looks at you. She's like, this, she holds the papers up, has everything to do with the rifts.
01:29:10
Speaker
Honestly, we haven't seen rift in forever. can visibly angry that if you not feeling that you're not letting her talk. This is the player Jake from Walter's perspective saying he completely forgot about the riffs.
01:29:22
Speaker
I honestly did too. Like, riffs have been very not apparent this whole season, so it's like, what riffs? Yes.
01:29:29
Speaker
I know. pointing and Yeah, you can see Blair is visibly angry that you won't hear her out. Alright, fine. Just talk. Just talk. Talk. I don't think he cursed in this angry in a while either.
01:29:40
Speaker
This exasperated. Yeah, she's like, get in here. And she like slams the door open, just flinging glass everywhere. Last time you were mad was that when we cut you the version of you saying, Can I? It's my fucking turn.
01:29:54
Speaker
gotta get the splinter on my finger. of that, yeah. Yeah.
01:30:02
Speaker
Okay, are you guys going to share Blair out? Yes. Give us the information. Okay, let's go. It's information. Then you can go. Go sit in the... I don't care.
01:30:13
Speaker
Alright, and she thrusts the papers at... She thrusts the papers at Evelyn. And this is... Ow. Okay, so... the like tos okay owho okay so um Evelyn, Hikaru has the papers.
01:30:33
Speaker
oh It is titled Chapter 1, The Gods. Would you like to read it? Sorry, let me rephrase. Is Hikaru reading it? Yes, Hikaru is going to read it.
01:30:45
Speaker
It's the Bible. okay So this is what it says. Once there were three gods made to rule over the universe, the god of time made to balance the flow of everything that is The god of space, made to balance the size and growth of the vast reaches of everything that is.
01:31:06
Speaker
The god of antimatter, made to balance the stuff that makes everything that is. These three gods ruled over the universe for many millennia until the hubris of life sought to seize this power for their own.
01:31:19
Speaker
One by one, the gods were brought to their knees, their power subdued, and fearing death, the gods created the Temple of Origins. where they relent relented to live within orbs designed to withstand untold power until one day they may be awakened again to rule the universe once more.
01:31:38
Speaker
These three orbs since then have been known as the Orb of Darkness, the Orb of Time, and the Orb of Sky. ah For centuries, the three orbs have passed down through royalty from kings to their heirs and from their heirs into obscurity.
01:31:56
Speaker
It has been many years since these orbs have been seen, and thus they have fallen into the most obscure reaches of myth. It is said that those who wield the orb may once more awaken the gods at the Temple of Origen and gain powers unknown, though this temple itself is a myth, as none have found any trace of its existence.
01:32:16
Speaker
It is here the trail runs cold, and the legend of the three gods falls into myth.
01:32:23
Speaker
And Blair um shoves another piece of paper into Evelyn's face. it is it's It's titled Handwritten Note. Handwritten Note, okay. Hikaru's gonna read the handwritten note.
01:32:35
Speaker
Okay, the handwritten note says this. It has come to my knowledge that there have been unbalances in the universe which gives credence to this tale. I have seen many odd things in my time, studying the Temple of Origin and its possible whereabouts.
01:32:48
Speaker
Strange changes in gravity in certain places, though subtle, definitely noticeable. Strange tears in space as it seems that appear for only a fraction of a second. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and realize a week has passed without my knowledge.
01:33:03
Speaker
Strange things are afoot, and each of these occurrences have some kind of relation to what the book talks about. Space, time, and matter. It's as if the gods aren't here to balance out the world anymore, and things are slowly moving towards chaos.
01:33:16
Speaker
It seems to me that we believe the stories to be true. Then in the centuries after the orbs are formed, these changes may have been extremely subtle, maybe not even noticeable.
Orb Confusion and Realization
01:33:26
Speaker
If the world is unbalanced, it then seems things may get worse as time goes on.
01:33:30
Speaker
Who knows what the future will look like. I'm getting to the bottom of this. Signed H. That, uh, that second page I gave you there? What did the um it was called a handwritten note ah i ah the way this book the book you gave me almost looks like it's some kind of coffee from another book because this was clearly a handwritten note but it was written on the same paper as a as the book itself so it clearly wasn't part of the original book
01:34:02
Speaker
translated that one because i thought it was very important and my god it is what did the handwriting look like had all the handwriting looked the same. It was really neat.
01:34:14
Speaker
yeah even This handwritten note, which was clearly made by a different author from the rest of the book, was made in the same handwriting. So if I had to hazard a guess, all of these were written by the same person.
01:34:26
Speaker
And since the handwritten note seems to be speculative on the book itself, I'm hazarding a guess that this was a copy. Am I correct in my assumptions?
01:34:37
Speaker
This is a copy. Okay, so we still have the original, correct? Yes, but it's in a classified location.
01:34:47
Speaker
Do you guys have access to this classified location? Yes. yes
01:34:54
Speaker
Okay, things are not as bad as they seem, but do you guys understand the importance of this book? I think so. Sounds like the world's tending towards chaos.
01:35:05
Speaker
That's just basic entropy theory. guys yeah you guys You guys told me about a rift you guys found once, right? This handwritten note, she says jabbing at the handwritten note, literally mentions a rift as a part of chaos, an unbalance in the universe. The gods are not here to unbount to balance this universe anymore. Is Selina here?
01:35:28
Speaker
yes se this was This was written a century ago. Has Selina been with the Blair before? as Good question. No. Selina's got a lot to talk to Blair about.
01:35:41
Speaker
I... No, they have not explained that stuff. But Selena is shocked. She's... You can see she's like comprehending everything that's being said and the potential of these orbs.
01:35:56
Speaker
So Selena pipes up. She's like, he's these orbs have the potential to control gods? Like, actual gods? no. I think the the orbs contain the gods, and if we bring them all together at this temple of origin place, they're going to transform back into the gods.
01:36:19
Speaker
Or set off Armageddon. Wait, there are actual gods in this universe? i mean we We knew this. did Well, yeah, Blair's like, I've always...
01:36:32
Speaker
I've always suspected so, but like everything you've told me and this book here, this ancient book, like, I mean, it makes sense.
01:36:43
Speaker
The proof is here. is definitely. Volther is just like behind Selina going, Ixnay, Ixnay on the telling ge God power part.
01:36:58
Speaker
Ixnay. Oh boy. Yeah, Selina looks ah afraid. I've been trying to seek out these orbs for years now, but they're actual gods?
01:37:13
Speaker
Like, actual gods? Oh god, Seems like it. So does that mean you two was passing a god back and forth?
01:37:23
Speaker
I... Yeah. I think so. Well, this is all the more important. Do we know what the other orb is? Where are the other orb is?
Cliffhanger: The Orb's Importance
01:37:35
Speaker
Yeah, we had the blue orb.
01:37:37
Speaker
So, oh, could the, oh, um, could the bank, could the bank vault have contained one of the other orbs? Or both them? That's what I said when we first found out about it.
01:37:51
Speaker
That the whole robbery thing. good no you're totally Good point, Bruce. Yeah. um Oh, I just figured out. It sounds like someone else is after the orbs.
01:38:03
Speaker
Huh. What would a cult leader what with god powers? Or the ability to summon a god?
01:38:13
Speaker
um i should point out that the paper has drawings of the orbs in color. The blue one is the orb of time. The black one is the orb of darkness. And the white one is the orb of sky.
01:38:30
Speaker
And may I now present to you our logo, if it hasn't been made clear to the audience why I chose those specific colors for the logo.
01:38:41
Speaker
Surprise! Yep. So, that's fun. Yeah, he was just toying with us, people. so um you guys do in fact have the other orb, right? Can you confirm this?
01:38:57
Speaker
In a secure offside position. Yeah, we have an orb of sky, it looks like. The white one? No, the... No, time. The one. By mistake. The blue one.
01:39:08
Speaker
ah Time. Okay. Can you guys verify if this is an actual... If this is an actual god you guys are holding, and you say you possess this, can I see proof? I mean, we don't have it with us. How would we prove that? have it in a place of great defensiveness.
01:39:27
Speaker
I just realized that Sammy was eating god. Did you eat it? How does god taste like? That would've been really funny.
01:39:40
Speaker
Oh my goodness. You almost ate a god. Sammy was gonna pass a god through his digestive system. um
01:39:51
Speaker
So she's like, alright, if you guys are sure, I guess I'd love to have verification, because I... I don't know, that's... crazy. Well, Walter, whenever you feel like an aura... sense of view.
01:40:09
Speaker
Like an aura sense of view. Yeah, have aura. The colors are off going off and there's nothing anywhere near you. Just write front of her? You can. What are I'm assuming you're texting for Miss Blameback?
01:40:24
Speaker
yeah okay Oh, okay. Gotcha, gotcha. Wait, what? Yeah. Hikaru hits the like button.
01:40:34
Speaker
Dislike. Bruce is gonna send a quick text to his mom asking, hey, there's this librarian Valkenburg might have some connection to the rifts, was able to translate the book, should we bring her back with us?
01:40:57
Speaker
You see some of reply dots, like she's typing, some typing dots, and eventually a text message comes back and says like, you didn't show her the orb, did you? No, not yet. Okay, good. Keep that safe.
01:41:11
Speaker
Will Wait, doesn't she have it? Yeah. I mean, oh yeah, I'll also wait, did Walter tell us that he can't sense the orb?
01:41:22
Speaker
I have not said anything about it. yeah I haven't said anything, but I guess I could. He was not with us, but... Yeah, so if Walter hasn't told us that... a I probably would have said i could I'll try to track her.
01:41:41
Speaker
Orison's like, I don't sense anything, any orbs near us. Or any or her or. Because you never know. I can get lucky and find one. Just randomly.
01:41:52
Speaker
ah Yeah, see so yeah. So Walter is the only one that knows that the orb is back in the bunker. yeah Because that's where it was left after we thought we had the real orb that we gave to Selina instead of the fake orb.
01:42:10
Speaker
So Selina has the fake orb We all think it's the real orb except for Walter. So yes, we still have the orb. Okay. Is what I reply, at least. Okay. Wait, you see you're saying that to Ms. Pullback?
01:42:24
Speaker
Yeah, so I just say we have the orb. Yeah, we do still have the orb. flameback or miss flameback calls you immediately thought the orb got stolen from us no we got it back from that after that no just now becks miss flameback calls you ring in on your phone uh okay guys i gotta take this call real quick uh go walk away from the group a bit okay i'm gonna say like go outside or somewhere private yeah so so bor one second Okay, so so you hit answer and she's like, WHAT THE FUCK I DON'T HAVE THE ORB!
01:43:02
Speaker
what You had the orb! yeah We had- c Selena has the orb! No! I had the fake orb, remember?
01:43:15
Speaker
aye are you sure you have the- We the orb! Yeah, well we thought we had a 75% chance that we gave us the orb.
01:43:26
Speaker
i didn't keep the fake orb! It's gone! what What do you mean you didn't keep it? Oh fuck! Oh shit! Do you remember when Walter dropped the orbs?
01:43:40
Speaker
Yeah? Above board? Yeah? The game was that I had to roll above a 5. I rolled a 4. Okay. Uh-oh. Of course.
01:43:52
Speaker
Your orbs have been switched this entire time. Yeah. How about now? Oh, yeah. So what happened to the other orbs, then? i don't know. I have no idea. You guys threw it away when you guys were down in the basement.
01:44:06
Speaker
And she you can see her ah the her hologram is following her as she sprints down into the basement. Yeah. So it's down there in the basement somewhere. And you see alfred you see Alfred down there. he's like You see Miss Planbeck and Alfred. And Miss Planbeck's like, Alfred, Alfred, have you seen the orb anywhere?
01:44:27
Speaker
at all? Anywhere? And Alfred is like, ah no, but I mean, I'm done cleaning for you. And he's like holding a broom and stuff. And you can see that the basement is spick and span, col clean as can be.
01:44:40
Speaker
Who could have possibly gotten into our basement? Miss Flameback is like shaking Alfred. she's like, what do you mean you cleaned up?
01:44:52
Speaker
I want you guys to i'm going to flash back to when you guys when you guys decided on one of the orbs. one of i did i I meant to get this i meant to play do a playback recording but I didn't get that ready in time.
01:45:09
Speaker
When you guys decided on which orb was the real one, you guys threw the real orb on the ground and let it roll to a corner of the basement. Yeah.
01:45:19
Speaker
Yeah. And now here's Alfred saying that he cleaned up the basement. Check the trash cans! now So, he should have found the orb then.
01:45:32
Speaker
And if he didn't find the orb, it's still there. So, Miss Flameback is like, Alfred, when did you take the trash out last? Um... Like, three or four days ago? Why?
01:45:47
Speaker
Was there an orb in that trash? Alfred, trash day was yesterday, right? And Alfred's like, yeah, why? You can see Miss Flameback just fall to the ground.
01:45:59
Speaker
It's gone. The orb is gone. Yes, you guys are seeing this on a hologram.
01:46:11
Speaker
Do we know where they take the trash? Well, Oh no! Johnny Trash is coming back! That'd be funny. um my god, imagine if we have to like go into like go into like the landfill and it's a dungeon.
01:46:27
Speaker
Yes! That would be amazing, actually. I would love that. Just all trash Pokemon, so it has to be all poison. So, Mr. Flameback is on the floor, devastated, and Alfred is like, um, is everything alright?
01:46:45
Speaker
Um, are you okay?
01:46:49
Speaker
Uh, I'm gonna take you back upstairs. And she reaches for the- uh, Alfred reaches for the GBA and hits the end call button.
01:46:58
Speaker
I'm gonna take you back upstairs.
01:47:02
Speaker
That's... that's little concerning. So, I may have forgot to tell you guys, When I used my orb since last time, I didn't sense the orb with us. I thought I already told you guys.
01:47:16
Speaker
All right. Well, that means we've got a problem on our hands because that means the real orb was back down in the basement. And now apparently, so so Alfred kind of cleaned up the basement and he ain't finding no orb no more.
01:47:37
Speaker
Oh, we're going to have to give up on silver and go trap dumpster diving. Yep. Sounds about right.
