Speaker: This is Beat Our Quest, an improvised comedy role-playing podcast using the Triangle Agency system. And remember, if you start to question the agency in any way, don't.
Speaker: Tucker Dally Johnston as Stuart Burtmeier. Nate Valentine as Felix Fuzzworth. Ivana María Méndez Pavón as Barabel.
Speaker: Last time, our heroes, are you heroes? Agents? Our agents. Or are we dancers? Tiny agents. um ah Took the chance to spend some time in their own lives escaping the corporate humdrum.
Speaker: ah Felix fud Fuzzworth reconnected with his farmer roots um while also spending some time working in the corporation. Barabelle. or had the ah had a nice conversation with her daughter and her nice ah mentor, the Bride of Dracula.
Speaker: And ah Stubert really tried to improve his relationship with the corporation by going on a coffee run and trying to get a little bit of referrals from some of his friends in real life. Yeah, I did my best there.
Speaker: But during all this, our heroes had some weird experiences with their memories, some flashbacks to some traumatic moments in their life, and had those experiences either twisted so it felt like a positive experience or pulled from their memory entirely.
Speaker: And now we find our heroes serendipitously at a gas station. o Okay, Bearbell, you're all filled up there. Thank you. i feel like i don't need to tip you because apparently we know each other.
Speaker: ah So just say thank you. You know, I always tip service people about 85% of the bill anyway, but, you know, to each their own. And, you know, just for me, ah a thumbs up and a warm smile is good enough. Great.
Speaker: I will show you my pearly whites. Oh, yeah. That's, yep. They're not actually mine. That's a real good smile. Yeah. It was expensive.
Speaker: Hey, ah Felix, I've been meaning to ask you since ah I haven't I haven't seen you since we ah since we got back. But here we are serendipitously somehow at this gas station altogether. I don't work here, Barabel. It's OK. I work with you. um How are you alive?
Speaker: Oh, the agency, you know, they're they they're good at, they they look out for us. we We do good work and they take care of us. I think that's about it. Yeah, I don't know if we exactly got contracts or anything. I mean, there were many and NDAs, but I don't remember reading anything about reversing a being drawn and quartered. But, you know, hey, man, you're the... You're the you're the star. You're the star.
Speaker: You're the gold star. Yeah, i have I have been. I definitely hit the ground running at the agency, but I'm sure they do it for everyone, although I wouldn't recommend it. So science is so advanced nowadays. They really perform miracle medical miracles all the time.
Speaker: as you guys are talking, you hear somebody whistling off in the distance. Kind of this like upbeat, joyous walking along, singing to a tune in their own head.
Speaker: do Do we see him? You do see this guy. He looks disheveled, to say the least. He's got like a broken arm and a cast and he's carrying a bag with him and a lot of his clothing is torn up.
Speaker: His hair looks like it was recently kind of been barbered and trimmed, but he looks like he's worse for wear. Would be the best to describe it. Hey there, friendo! Hey!
Speaker: how you doing? Oh my goodness, he's talking to him. Okay. Well... What are we doing here? Oh! Hi! And he waves his one good arm um really excitedly over his head. There, neighbor, i like your I like your attitude there. Hey, just wanted to make sure, do you need immediate medical attention? Oh, oh, oh. No, I'm okay. I fought off the wolf.
Speaker: Who, what? The wolf? The big, big animal that attacked me. just I was walking down the street. It was crazy. You didn't, you didn't? That's fine. Don't worry about it. Sir, are you concussed?
Speaker: Are you concussed, Ken? I'm going to show you some some fingers. You have to tell me how many I'm holding up, okay? All of them. Good!
Speaker: Oh, he's fine. We can leave him. feel like he's openly leaving blood on the ground. Hey, follow-up question. How many is all of them? Like, what number? Um... Oh.
Speaker: Five. Can you do again? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's concussed. I'll do it again. You put up your hand and he high fives you on instinct.
Speaker: Ew. Ew. I pull out some hand sanitizer. Spray spray. know we might need to get get to work, but this guy seems like he's in serious trouble. Barabel, maybe we should give him a ride to the hospital in your car. In my car?
Speaker: Who needs to get to the hospital? hu I can help you get there. See? He knows how to get there. He can get there himself. Oh, I mean, we could we could walk or we could skip if we wanted to get there faster.
Speaker: for I can skip! I can! Watch! And he sets his bag down, and goes on a little, like, jaunty skip thing around the the gas station back to his bag. Look at him go. Can I do a, uh, can do a, uh, causality chain? is that Is that what it's called? Sure! Sure, um, I'm gonna say, uh, this is what i would like to have happened. I want, um...
Speaker: There to have been a group of nine-year-olds around the corner skateboarding, and one of them tripped and knocked out his two front teeth. And even though they were his baby teeth, he freaked out and he called 911. So there's already a paramedic just like 30 feet away from us telling these kids that his teeth are going to grow back.
Speaker: That's what I want to happen. imagine that he tripped on a piece of... clothing, a winter clothing that he didn't see because didn't the last thing escape and is now causing havoc all over town as well?
Speaker: Okay, I like that. Let me look up... Oh, are we optionally choosing to create more loose ends here, Tucker? No, I just thought that that's how the causality chain worked. We... we we add on I don't know that it has to be related to...
Speaker: like ah an anomaly. We can just make shit up Basically do whatever we want. I roll four things and I win. yeah. yeah yes This is make-believe. so what what is the thought I'll say this. I'll let you have a group of kids there and something ah causes them to trip and have... ah Let's see. so What is the reason that causes them to be there? Skateboarding. Skateboarding.
Speaker: Well, no, no, no, but I'm trying to the paramedics. and Like, what causes... the what What effect? and What ah what a stat is what I'm trying to figure out? Oh.
Speaker: I forgot I have to do... Attentiveness? professionalism i'm gonna say that's an act of dynamism to have it kicked or to roll a stone in a place that would cause this kid to trip over while they're skateboarding so whoever wants to roll dynamism can do that i've got a bunch of dynamism i'm happy to roll that i've got three qas there um so what do i roll 64 64 t four sixty sixty four sixty four 6d4. I rolled one three. So it's a pass, right?
Speaker: It's a pass. A pass that generates five chaos. Pass that generates five chaos. I did kind of forget about the chaos when I started doing this, but let's hope it was fun enough that we don't mind.
Speaker: So we'll let this do this. You're like hanging out and watching this thing and you see these kids skateboarding around and you suddenly kick the stone and it whips over and knocks under one of these...
Speaker: wheels chuckcks and as it sits the it's that what the or the axle the chuck what is it and it causes I'm pretty sure I'm right I'm just gonna keep saying chuck until we move on yeah okay it's the chuck we'll let the internet drag Tucker ah shit and and it ah hits this the the tire and it causes him to tumble off very quickly um because you you time this out you're they're ready to call the paramedic and they're like already caught it on scene they're on their way When this paramedic is on its way, though, you watch this kid sobbing, reaching for his mouth, and blood just pouring, and just freaking out. All the kids are freaking out under control.
Speaker: And you watch this golden haze pass over these kids. The one who the the pain is the most is just going from sobbing to kind of laughing in joyous hysterics.
Speaker: And all of his friends, who are look like they're traumatized from the incident, slowly turn their backs, get on their skateboards, and go about their day skateboarding normally. Ooh, okay.
Speaker: Hey, that was weird. did we just witness a tic-tac? Was that a tic-tac? Ho, ho, ho,
Speaker: ah The paramedic does show up very quickly because you did this so aggressively. And he's there. And the guy is also like runs over to go take care of the kid to make sure he's OK. ah We actually have a bigger medical emergency over here.
Speaker: This guy was just attacked by a wolf. I mean, we don't know that. We don't know that. We don't know that. He looks fine to me. he was able to tell me how many fingers I was holding up. And there is a child who is laughing while bleeding.
Speaker: I feel like that just just takes precedent. Feel like that happens all the time with children, no? No? Yeah, that's true. They're pretty resilient. They left while they're bleeding. They left when other people bleed. Did you not see all of his friends walk away? That child is friendless.
Speaker: He has no fun. They'll be back. They'll be back skateboarding here tomorrow. Do you want to put that child in your car and take him to the hospital? Yeah. Well... The paramedics sorry are here.
Speaker: um So maybe the blood doesn't need to come on my very, very expensive seat covers. As you guys are talking, you see a plane with a banner straight behind it.
Speaker: And it has the words, call me right away, written on the back of it. You know, I don't believe in fate or the universe, things like that. You don't?
Speaker: God, we don't have to get into that, but I think that's a sign for us. this There's another plane goes by and says, Stubert, stop talking about fate and call me. walk crap. Who's that for? I call...
Speaker: I go, do we have the... no i I open my phone and press random numbers until it starts to ring.
Speaker: Serendipitously and cosmically, you call in and you get the general manager's number. Stubert, is this your number? Oh, I think so. Come on speaker! Oh, I gotta put you on speaker. Hold on. Nope, FaceTimed you. Hold on there. Hey, hi, how are you? There's just a moment of him in a bubble bath and he turns off the FaceTime really quickly. What?
Speaker: I'll put you on speaker. I didn't see nothing. You know, I like a little lavender myself. Here we go. it It just keeps me fresh. Hey, chief, what's going on? I'm getting an alarming anomalous reading ratings from your area. What is going on? Are you guys using your anomaly abilities? What's what's happening?
Speaker: No, we're just pumping gas. Gas. Gas. you You guys, you're in a very dangerous place right now. I need you to get away. Get out of there right away. This anomaly is far more dangerous than you guys are ready for. I need you to come back to the manager. Ooh, that sounds like a challenge.
Speaker: And Barabee loves the challenge. Yeah, did you know that I'm here? The two-time MVP current associate? can probably handle it, sir.
Speaker: I didn't know if he knew that I was with you guys. Maybe he thought I was just too... Felix is there? Felix, that you might be able to supervise something like this, but i don't I'm not ready to lose one of my favorite new agents. Oh, sorry, you're too kind.
Speaker: too cash here we can thank you No, I need you guys to get out of the right away. I'll tell you what's happening once you get into the office. Okay, sure. So we shouldn't follow the golden haze thing that we saw and all the kids who ran away and there was like a wolf attack or something going on. I don't know how that's related. I still think he was lying, but sure. We'll debrief when you get in.
Speaker: Okay, I guess we're all gonna hop in Barabel's car for expediency. Oh, fine. Barabel. What? You're not used to people leaving you out of things, rejecting you, especially in your hiding state now. I'm not being rejected. When you are told no, what part of your childhood comes up that makes you remember, you know, the worst time somebody told you no?
Speaker: Well, um... When I was in fifth grade, ah Susan, the most popular girl in my class, was sitting next to me and the teacher assigned us in a group project together. And Susan just looked at me and said, no, not with her.
Speaker: And ah I did go to the bathroom immediately. i started sobbing and then I made a plan to escape my school. I devised an escape route and...
Speaker: just left the school and walked in avenue and then into a highway by myself. I was about 11 years old. And ah then my parents found me and said that I was just being dramatic. Little bearable, always dramatic. And then they locked me in my room for about three days.
Speaker: Wait, Jesus. yeah I think that might be the trauma. They fed me gone. That's not we're discussing. Okay. It all comes colliding. Waves of memory come crashing on you. And it you feel this pain, this stress, this anxiety from your childhood.
Speaker: And rather than like sitting in it and awash in these memories, you feel them being pulled out of as though they're forgotten. this This traumatic incident of the girl in school, this these days locked in your room, all of these experiences are just gone.
Speaker: And you don't even remember. It's like a blank ah when you start to recall it. Did we see any of the golden haze around her when this happened? Yeah, you would have seen um this faint sort of gold haze, and because you're closer to her, you see it kind of taking the form of a large creature sort of hugging her, embracing her.
Speaker: I kind of miss my older sister. i'm going to shoot her a text. Hey, boss man. Yeah? I don't know. Not you, boss man. Boss man, boss man. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Speaker: I don't want to alarm you, but Bear Bell seems like, um you know, I don't want to be no tattletale or a little rat or something like that. i don't want to be called, you know, no snitch. But um so I think Bear Bell got anomalized a little bit. Is there a protocol for that? Bad, bad, bad. Come back to the office. Why are you still there? Well, Bear Bell...
Speaker: Barabel's reconnecting with her older sister and doing a voiceover while she writes the letter at the same time. So we kind of got to wait for that because I think she's all right. Expense an expense a car, man. I pay you in commendations. They're about $500 each.
Speaker: Oh, you know we can do? I got it. We can call my friend Farmer Old Man Grism. Oh, shit. I am giving him the mobile perk. Yes!
Speaker: yeah Okay. Can you read what this means? Sure. um Old Man Grism has access to an unusual mode of transit and lots of free time. They'll take you around to their vehicle or let you borrow it while this bonus is active. If their vehicle breaks or has lost you, lose one connection with this relationship.
Speaker: So I would like to call old man Grissom and have him roll up in his huge industrial tractor to give us a ride back to the agency. Amazing. ah Therapy. Grissom.
Speaker: ah Oh, is he there now, are you doing the phone call? Yeah, you you have anomalous powers. Grissom is, boom, there you see Grissom thundering along on this, right up, pulling up right to the gas station in his industrial tractor.
Speaker: Oh, man, I'm trying to remember what this voice was that I did hear. Hey, old Felix, hey, I got your SOS on the old ham radio back at the old farm.
Speaker: was finished, I was finished, just finished up chickening, and, uh... I figured I could give you that ride, you know what I mean? Seeing as how I don't want you getting into a stranger's car with one of them Uber vehicles, you know, that's how they track you.
Speaker: That's how they get you. Thank you so much. Yeah, we're actually in a really big rush, so we're just all going hop right onto the the the bed of the truck, the bed of the... Yeah, hop on back. I'll get this thing up to a sweet 15 miles per hour. Excellent. Felix, who is this handsome guy? Oh, my. Madam, I'm a widowed man. Those overalls are really working.
Speaker: Felix, you didn't tell me that you made such fine friends among the city folk. I like her immediately. That quiet guy over there, I don't want to hear him speak at all, though. ah um Yeah, yeah, these are actually some of my some of my co-workers. This is Barabel, and this is Stubert, and we're just gonna like hop right in the bed of the the thing that is pulled by the trailer,
Speaker: and If you could just take us to this address that I'm gonna hand you, we we'd be so thankful, thank you. You got it, anything for you, Felix. Here we go, hop on board.
Speaker: a little lady, I'll even let you, I'll even let you pull the, pull the horn if you want to ah you want to get the people out of the road. Oh my goodness, this is like an escape room, but in a car. It feels so cool.
Speaker: What an experience. How do you get these friends, Felix? I was actually born on old man Grissom's farm. We've been, I've known him my whole life. Is this your father?
Speaker: not. Well, Felix is like a son to me. Yeah. Yeah. some Sort of like an adoptive father. I'm sorry. I should not assume familial relationships. But you just, just have the same vibe. You don't really look alike, but like you feel the same.
Speaker: Sure, sure, yeah. All right, here we are outside wherever this horrible construct of a building is. I gotta go and, uh, go protest, uh, 5G networks now, so I'm gonna catch you later there, Felix. That's right, i almost forgot. It's, uh, 3 p.m. on Tuesday. You gotta get to the weekly protest.
Speaker: That's true. Hey, ho, oh, no, these towers got to go. Oh, that's my cue. I gotta to go there, Felix. Hey, good luck with your corporate job. Don't let the man get you down now. Ha ha ha. Bye!
Speaker: I'll miss you! You're ushered into the office. You make your way through the same thing, all through the rows and rows of cubicles that you've seen forth, and you eventually get your way to the manager's office door.
Speaker: Is the woman there again? ah She's sitting at her desk, yeah. Ugh. God, I can't stand her. Did you need to say that out loud? What? Oh, sorry, you heard that? but Did you mean to say that out loud? Oh my goodness, you had onions again, right? Yeah. Ugh, girl.
Speaker: who covers her mouth, hits the little buzzer, the door swings open. I see that's going to be our relationship. Okay. e Sorry about her. She's been doing that voiceover thing out loud a lot. So the boss's room looks unusual in in a way that you haven't seen before. It looks like a paranoid room with a bunch of those strings and push pins where like he's trying to solve like a serial murder. You do recognize in the corner is the,
Speaker: ah frosty the scarf man and a bunch of series of incidents as it's gone across the town but on the opposite end of the room you see another thing with these yellow strings that seem to be an illusion to whatever this new anomaly that's come in um and he comes to you guys he goes are you guys okay has it gotten to you you said barabelle you've been gotten come here it's nice to see you Ooh, this is terrifying. now He pulls out a small little scanner and he puts it up to her neck and goes, and you see it little pulls a little bit of blood and he puts it up to a machine and it scans. He goes, okay, she has been got.
Speaker: How about the two of you? Are you clear? I don't. think we're ah feel fine You know, I'm a little... We still have to come up and hug Barabel, but we've been... in I had my wits about me, sir, and and I think Stuber did too today. He just used to Felix. Felix, I need to test you.
Speaker: Okay. i do it. It's fun. He does the same thing. Puts the gun. Bam. Real quick blood test. Puts in the thing. You get the same little result as Barabelle. This golden so light that comes up.
Speaker: Stubart. Oh, man. I guess it's catching everywhere, huh? Good thing. I got a really good amusement. I almost said amusement system. We're having a good time here. I'm sorry. You need my neck.
Speaker: Yes, your neck. Boom. Same thing. You see him take a deep breath. Do you, do you! yeah yeah Does thing, twist the needle.
Speaker: Takes a deep breath himself, like praying that he hasn't been gotten. And he goes, da-da-da. And he goes up and he puts on a little hazmat helmet. So the rest of him is still the suit, but he's got that yellow kind of hazmat helmet on. He goes, i was afraid that this was going to happen.
Speaker: We had a entity, a former resident, if you will, come back. And it's I imagine you all had an interaction with him. Is that true? hey Does he claim to be to be eaten by wolves? Goes by the name Alexander Peepsey. I don't.
Speaker: Never met him And he holds up a little sign and it's like a drawn photo and looks exactly like him. And if you look in the background, there's like a wolf looking like it's about to attack him in the hand-drawn police sketch. This guy? You see him?
Speaker: Oh, yeah. That's the's the wolf guy who was whistling earlier. He seems in bad shape. Yeah. You see, he's a former resident. He used to work for the Triangle Agency and he's gone a... ah he's He sides. He works with his anomaly mostly.
Speaker: I won't call him harmless. He's not going to kill anyone, but his anomaly is very dangerous in its own way. It manipulates memory.
Speaker: It ah takes away memories and, whenever possible, ah replaces the sensations with that memory with good feelings or rather than bad.
Speaker: that um That actually sounds pretty... pretty cool. Oh, that's actually really nice. I think that's what, like, the whole point of therapy and psychotherapeutic drugs are. I've paid lot of money for that. It starts that way, but then it gets addictive.
Speaker: What if every bad feeling you've ever had is replaced with a good thing? You no longer feel bad things. Bad things are just good experiences constantly. Fall down the stairs, that's a good experience. That feels good.
Speaker: Cut yourself, feels good. Break an arm, feels good. Attacked by wolves, feels good. Starting to see the problem? Is it nice wolves? Are they pretty? Very pretty wolves. Well, then there's... Very pretty wolves. Well, I personally, me, Barabee, don't see anything bad with pretty wolves attacking you because it's just like a nice experience. But the falling down the stairs, I don't love.
Speaker: It really got to her, didn't it? Yeah. Is it pretty stairs? Here's what we're to I'm going to send you to capture Alexander Peepsie. All I thought you said that we should get out of there immediately and it was too dangerous and and the machine went, woo, and we all got yeah the green light. Honestly, i was, that's true. But if we are not successful capturing or destroying this anomaly, you might lose those memories permanently. I don't remember losing any memories.
Speaker: that's that's That's the dangerous thing about this anomaly. ah You its don't really know what you've lost until it's too late. You know, have you ever have you ever had something stolen from you? somebody like Maybe somebody broke into your home and took something and you don't realize it until one day you look for it and you realize, like oh my god, I used to own a blank.
Speaker: Like, didn't I have a waffle iron? have a fantastic security system. That's never happened. So I can't relate. This is what I was saying when we were out there in the field, sir. i'd I'd be happy to take on the anomaly. I don't know why you made us come back.
Speaker: With all due respect. Well, I made you come back because I was hoping you all weren't contaminated. Only one of you had been contaminated. i would just call it a singular loss and have them removed from the team. Oh. Oh.
Speaker: Oh. If my entire squad, especially my A-team associate member... Oh, thanks. I'm going to do my best to try to preserve the resources we've invested on. Understood, sir.
Speaker: So, what we're going to do. You're going to go capture... this individual, however need be. As you know, regardless of the danger of the mission, there are still arbitrary policies that you're going to have to follow during this hunt. Oh, damn it!
Speaker: ah So... Crap! ah So you all know, during this mission, you will get three commendations. hey Hold on, Ricks.
Speaker: If you earn a place in somebody's will, oh fuck You will get two commendations if you appropriately quote a movie verbatim.
Speaker: You'll get five commendations if you cheat at chess.
Speaker: You're going to get two demerits if you incorrectly quote that movie. Oh, shit. And you're going to get one demerit every time you damage property.
Speaker: Oh, crap. In real life or a memory. Oh, no. this Any questions on today's mission? it's So many. Do we think the guy is still at the gas station? Or did he get seen by the paramedics? Is he at the hospital?
Speaker: know he wasn't walking very fast. We could all go back there. Did we leave Barabel's car at the gas station? I have other cars.
Speaker: Jeez. Jeez. just sitting there with a fucking gas hose in I'll have someone drop it off. It's okay. You make this, going to let you do this.
Speaker: You can call and have access to old man Grissom's tractor whenever you want. So you can like be like, boop, boop, it's there, and you have it, and you can now ride it. You don't have to like call on him. We don't have to have a scene with him anymore. This is like an unlocked perk you've gained.
Speaker: That's fine. I didn't want to talk to you anyway. If if you want to talk to Grissom, he's there. um But you ah you do drive this tractor around town looking for this guy.
Speaker: ah it's pretty easy to locate when you start to see the growing maelstrom of chaos that this person has caused. Because sure enough, the paramedics show up and the paramedics are there.
Speaker: And when they see this horrible incident, one of them just ignores it, completely forgets about it, and heads off on his own merry way. The other one, he's there, and he's having a great time with the kid who's horribly injured. oh As Alexander Peepsie's walking along, he does the same thing. He trips. He hurts himself. He walks knocks this thing, goes skittering into the way. A car slams into another car.
Speaker: There's a whole fire starting to spill out. And you watch as he kind of gets up, laughs at the fire, and continues walking along. Oh, yeah, i understand why that's bad now. Yeah, we should stop that guy immediately. Okay.
Speaker: I agree. Real quickly, who has the gun and who has the suitcase? Yeah, I don't think I can be trusted with either of those two objects. Yeah, especially after last time. If you want, I can take the gun, just in case.
Speaker: i have a purse. i think I think the associate is the one who should be responsible to have the gun. Sorry, guys. Then I'll keep my knives in my purse.
Speaker: Right? oh cost Slightly terrifying, but great. Do you guys approach Alexander? Mr. Peepsie? Woohoo! Oh! my Mr. Peepsie!
Speaker: He gets up, he kind of like hobbles up because he's got an injured leg now and he's got the broken arm. And he like goes, oh! Friends! How you doing? And he slowly starts like hopping towards you guys.
Speaker: As he gets closer and closer and closer, you see this huge golden bear standing behind him. It has big button eyes. And as it comes to you guys, it wraps you all up.
Speaker: And you fade into darkness. You feel yourself shrinking into these tiny little bodies. You're still human, you're least live but you feel yourself getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
Speaker: You open your eyes and you're in a farm. You see these hay bales. You see a big cow hanging out there. You see a big ah bucket, of a pail of milk that you're able to, you have this like kind of compulsive need to kind of get into and see what could be in there. And you see the three of you all standing there, shrunken in this barn.
Speaker: Yay. Did we get him? one looks familiar. I think. were we in a spiritual retreat? how small how small How shrunken down are we? I would say maybe six inches tall.
Speaker: Okay. In the farm. we bigger than a bread box? Smaller than a bread box. Smaller than a bread box. Hey, what's happening? Um... This is old man Grissom's farm.
Speaker: How can you tell? you We all just met him. You didn't say anything, Stuber, but he gave us like three rides today. Oh, he he seemed like he really didn't want me to talk at all, you know? Yeah, he could be a little could be a little gruff.
Speaker: Old man grisom. It's a real, real man right there. he ze Did you guys see where Peepsie went? Is he here too? i don't know. Did we get teleported to the farm? Not sure.
Speaker: Hey, does everything look real big to you guys? I thought they just didn't trim the grass here. But I think you're right. You look out, eventually, through this see this huge scope of farm, and you see a road, a dirt road, don't a long distance away. It's pretty hard to gauge distance with the shrunken down state you are. And all on the side, you see Peepsie's escape wagon and milk delivery written on the side of this truck. Okay.
Speaker: Hey, looky there. but says escape. Should we go that way? I really don't want to be here. My shoes are not meant for this. I know I've used that excuse before. Every every mission.
Speaker: Well, I wear nice shoes every day. the most consistent thing about me. Escafe. hey you know, that looks just like escape.
Speaker: Oh, but it's in Spanish. ah You are just out the door of this barn, and you start walking along, and Felix, you have a feeling of dread in your chest. Oh.
Speaker: You know, instinctually, we have to run. You have to run now. And you hear the sound of um animal paws on the ground running towards you.
Speaker: And you hear the panting of what sounds like maybe a wolf. told I'm going to run and say, I was going to say these wolves aren't pretty. There's no such thing as a pretty dog. And... gesture to them to come with me.
Speaker: Oh, if he's tearing off, I'm going to follow. Felix, where are going? Hey, hey, we got to stick together as a team. Yeah, come on. Hurry up. I can't run very fast in these. Take your shoes off. You should just take them off and do it like a Friday night, you know, like walk to the train. I don't know. I've never been a ah a college girl going to a bar.
Speaker: Over your shoulder, three beagle puppies, which are what? Bigger than you by far, are chasing after you guys. Even worse than wolves.
Speaker: I'm going let you know, each one of you is going to be killed by these dogs unless you do something to stop it. Oh, God. Right there. It's a medium rare state.
Speaker: Nice. Nice. that's Oh, what's that over there? Attentiveness. I don't have it Roll 64. sixty four You've been through this song and dance. I'm very worried.
Speaker: I got one three. Well, I got two threes, so technically one three. Oh, thank God. Describe it. What happened? ah It's a perfect medium rare tomahawk steak. Is that correct? Tomahawk? Tomahawk.
Speaker: Tomahawk. Thank you. That's a hard word for some reason. ah With some butter on top, of some garlic that has been roast. No, not. Yes.
Speaker: Yes, garlic. Yeah, fuck that dog. and some nice parsley. You're all running and you do this and what's that over there? And the dog just takes a hard right turn. Just immediately like and Beagle Beagle turns to get food. um Felix, what are you doing about the animal that's chasing you?
Speaker: Can I just climb the nearest tree?
Speaker: Uh, it, that's not gonna have, that is not gonna be enough to, to stop this dog. It is right on your heels. You're gonna have to use some kind of dice roll ability. Bullshit. Okay. I have the universal recipient, which allows me to move my harm onto someone else. Can I use that in this memory? Yeah. Or is that, that not good enough?
Speaker: Uh, let me actually think, yeah. You can do that. Let me just think about this for one second, if I have anything else. Uh. We can go to Tucker if he wants to use his then, if we wanna. Yeah, Tucker, if you got something washed and loaded. Well, it just depends on if you're going to put the harm onto me. Not on purpose. I promise you that. Oh, okay. i ah Yeah, stupid. This beagle is just about to chomp down on you from above. Great.
Speaker: I understand it's still horrifying, but it's a lot less horrifying because at first I thought you said eagle puppies, but you said beagle puppies. Oh, it's beagle puppies. Uh, yeah. Uh, I'm gonna say, uh, missed!
Speaker: And I'm gonna roll missed. And this time, because I've used my, uh, I've spent some time at work, I actually am not burnt out in duplicity.
Speaker: And so, please, dear God. I rolled one, three. he missed. So on a success, you were always somewhere else nearby, perhaps behind or on top of whatever tried to touch you. I would like to now be riding the beagle puppy. I knew as soon as I heard the word on top, i knew you were going to be riding that fucking beagle.
Speaker: You're right on and you're like holding the collar to like kind of like steer it towards the truck. um ah But you're going to generate five more chaos with that, though. yeah Do you want to spend any of your QAs? No.
Speaker: Well, any of them from anything or... It's got to be from the category you had it in. No, then I'm going get burnt out on it. no Look, I'm trying to burn you out. That's my my toy.
Speaker: Let's cut to you, Felix. Yeah, I'm going to use borrow, and I'm going to borrow the dog's teeth. Wait. Oh, what? it That sounds nightmarish. Read borrow. It sure sure does. I can choose a feature of any mundane target and take it for myself.
Speaker: Their face, their voice, their love, their fingerprints. Can take its size? No, but I'll let you take the teeth because that just, I feel like that's very Looney Tunes for you to turn around and have that big ol' like... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Or like his mouth. Dense your mouth. Yeah, um, so I have to roll duplicity, which is 64. You said remove their teeth, and I'm still honestly trying to come to terms with you saying We're gonna trigger a few listeners here.
Speaker: I rolled four threes. oh Whoa! That's huge. What did you get anything else from? a Oh, yeah, let me look. On a success, it lasts for up to an hour yeah so for each additional three, which is three.
Speaker: um The target keeps a flawed version of what's borrowed. I will definitely do that. Um... the last additional hour, or I can share what's borrowed with one other target. So I'm going to, I'm going to, um, give my dog, uh, rubber teeth.
Speaker: Okay. And, and so that when it bites me, it just kind of picks me up in rubber teeth. And I'm going to also give Stuber giant nightmare looney tunes to you the back of his bagel.
Speaker: Christ. This, this, God, I love this game so much. Okay, you solved the three doggy problem. Yes. So you guys are, one of you's riding this dog.
Speaker: ah Felix, you're running along the ground with this huge dog mouth kind of suspended out of your face. And Barabel, you threw this meat and your dog is just off and distracted. And are you just comfortably walking along or do you want to like grab a ride? No, I'm kind of strolling. I enjoy nature.
Speaker: Tucker gets there first right away. Gets to the car and is sitting there atop his steed. Is the car driving away or is it still as Felix, as you're getting closer, you start to feel these memories converging in your mind.
Speaker: You're realizing that like it's, it's more than deja vu. It's like the most, most intense deja vu in your life. As you, you, you, this is you, you were here, you as a kid, as a kitten, you,
Speaker: child something were running along and jumped up to get away from these dogs that were chasing you on the road. um And all of these realities sort of converge into one memory. Ugh.
Speaker: Oh. God. This anomaly freaking me out, guys. this is This is from my past. We're in my brain. I'm not really good at science. um But...
Speaker: Your brain is in your head, and we can see you, so I don't think we are in your head, because we can see your head there. that's that You're right, Barabel. I can't explain to you. If I'm there first, I'm going to... ah open up the if the car is standing if the the milk truck slash uh uh escape van escape route is uh standing still i'm gonna hop up and i'm gonna open the the back of it if it's driving away i'm gonna leap off my faithful steed and bite onto the bumper with my newfound uh dog chompers well like it wasn't driving away but i want the second thing So we're going to say you hear it start and you jump from the dog and you jump off. But it's really the guy like starting to turning the engine over and he gets out of the truck. So we still get to see you dangling by your mouth on the the bumper of the car. There we go.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. i And is the guy in the truck, is that Pipsy? Farmer Grissom? Alexander Pipsy? Alexander. Oh, it's Farmer Grissom. it wouldn't have been Farmer Grissom. It's just some delivery guy.
Speaker: Oh, okay, not peace you But as as you finally get back to this point, Felix, you are overcome with these memories. This dread, this fear, this anxiety, this terror as you were being chased and and and and afraid of death for the first time in your life.
Speaker: It all comes and hits you so intensely. Like you'd you'd repress this memory. Yeah, this is all this feels terrible. i'm go I'm just going cower. I'm going to cower under the truck under the wheels or something. I don't know. Felix?
Speaker: Felix, you're under a car. Felix? Yeah, I'm safer down here. Felix, please get out of under the car. You don't know if it's going to move. It could trample you.
Speaker: We are so small. It's okay, you guys. I got it. You guys, I didn't even notice you went to see Dr. James, my cosmetic dentist.
Speaker: I see you're still little swollen. i'm not coming out. As you you kind of ro remember these feelings and you you don't repress it, you just embrace it.
Speaker: You all feel the world kind of wash away. you You return back to your fields because you aren't in a field anymore. You're just in the back of ah a wooden Irish pub.
Speaker: Old school... You hear people hanging out and playing in the front. There's like fiddle music, people having a great time and drinking and partying. And you guys look like you're just in the storage closet of this Irish pub. ah Quick question. Can we tell it is an Irish pub from just the closet? Specifically those of us who haven't been here before? You would only assume it's that because of maybe the music. They're just like playing...
Speaker: I guess in the 90s it would have been maybe Dropkick Murphy or or Vlog of Ali, you know, like. In the 90s? I just did a FaceTime and a whole Crypto Bros routine like last episode. I know, but it's but this is like in your in the past.
Speaker: Oh, this is the past. Yeah, yeah. I forgot about the past. No, the 90s campaign was season one. If you're interested in our 90s campaign, tune into our Kids on Bike campaign. What a joy. Boom.
Speaker: law Flawless execution. Do I recognize the storeroom? Yeah, you've probably been in the storeroom before. I'm gonna open the door to the storeroom and see what I see. How much do you open it up?
Speaker: A jar. Just a You see faces and friends you haven't seen in years. compatriots, people you've grown up and drank with, you see an ex from your childhood who you've kind of grown to be nostalgic and warm feelings for, but you've grown apart because of careers and lives. and It's a room full of people you've youve you've known for a while.
Speaker: Is there any indication of the date in this bar? Uh, no. To give me a time of day or place. Okay.
Speaker: Even if there was, you wouldn't remember the date associated. crap. um You eventually look and you see a young waitress who you had some soft feelings for.
Speaker: um And she's pouring from a tap. And she she eventually catches your eye, looking through the door. And you hear go, Rory? Rory, is that you?
Speaker: Yes, Irish accents. Oh.
Speaker: Oh. Meredith? Hey, come on out, Rory. me pour you pint. Oh.
Speaker: Just... Just two ticks.
Speaker: I'm going to close the door. Hey gang, hey, hey there, don't want to alarm anyone. Don't, don't want to do that. Love, love everyone's, you know, positive energy. Love how we all came together on that last, you know, mission there. um But this one, I feel like is maybe significantly more dangerous.
Speaker: um Are there bigger dogs? yeah Isn't this just where humans, I mean all of us, get together to hang out after work sometimes? Like a bar?
Speaker: Yes. what yeah What could be dangerous about a bar? Don't worry about it. Nothing's going happen as long as we leave right now. We got to leave right now before anything bad goes down. Just as you say that, you hear the sound of cars pulling up and coming to a screeching stop.
Speaker: You hear you the the sounds in the bar kind of go to a quiet murmuring. And you hear Meredith saying from the front, all right, everyone, got just calm down, calm down. I'll go check it out. Don't worry.
Speaker: And you hear her walk to the front door. Do you do anything? Yeah. Yeah, I do. At that point. Yeah. um ah I am going to.
Speaker: fuck me. I'm going to unlock. I'm going to burst open the door and to get through, because I imagine there's a lot of people here. um I'm going to roll unbound.
Speaker: um If something is in your way or holding you back, relax your body and roll subtlety. And I'm going to try to get to Meredith before she gets to the door.
Speaker: Subtlety. I have that. Yes, please.
Speaker: two Now, a question I'm probably going to keep asking. If I have two threes and I roll, and if I use... If I get rid of... I spend a QA, it's a dirty triscendence.
Speaker: Would you still get chaos from that? No, I don't generate chaos. Okay, I'm going to take away one subtlety and roll three threes. Wait.
Speaker: And then... Ah, I am also... Let me make that go away. Delete! Doesn't matter, we'll get there in a second. On every third three, you become... i can choose one. Invisible, inaudible...
Speaker: You're ghost. am going to choose to bring Meredith with you anytime you pass through an obstacle while using this ability sorry and on success you pass directly through it you become intangible and can move easily through walls chains and other obstructions for one hour you a ghost i am going to choose to bring meredith with me So, I just want to also remind you, this is totally true, you can do that, but you still have big old dog teeth, right? Ah, shit! suck Oh my god, yeah, for two hours. You, uh, you get right up to the door, right when she's about to open it
Speaker: and you get your hand on her. And she looks over and goes, Oh, Rory! What big teeth you have! ha ha ha ha! the the better to get you the fuck out of here with my dear. Now let's go. Don't open that door. You pull her out.
Speaker: Tucker, what is the name of the group of people who are on the outside of that door? That would be the Jawbreakers. Um, you hear McGregor, who's a real person, so I can't use that name. Uh... Ethan McGregor. Ethan McGregor.
Speaker: Close one. He's standing outside and he goes, All right, everyone. The next person out that door better be Rory or we're have a whole lot of trouble here. Who's Rory? Who's Rory? Meredith, listen to me.
Speaker: Just keep looking right in my big shiny teeth. You, no matter what, cannot open that door. He's not going to do what he says. every Everyone here is about to die. you you are a You say that under your breath.
Speaker: um And... I need more Irish last names. They're all just going to be O'Donovan. Jack O'Donovan. O'Donovan? He's the fiddle player, and he just wants to see what's happening.
Speaker: And he makes his way to the door and opens it, and as soon as he opens the door, gunfire. And you watch him drop to the ground. Gunfire erupts.
Speaker: Windows are shattering. What do you do, Rory? Sorry, what do you do, stupid? Actually, I'm going to let you have your moment in a second.
Speaker: ah Felix and Barabel. Yes, we're in the closet. Felix. So like it. Felix, before we exit, I've heard that in Irish pubs you need to be wearing green. So I think we should grab one of these sweatshirts that are hanging up here.
Speaker: And put them on. Because if not, we're going to get pinched. Oh. Yeah, that sounds terrible. I know. I be take one, I put it on. Absolutely. Okay. Don't think twice about it. Me too. We're wearing matching sweatshirts. And as you you guys put your hoodies on, you're about to go out to go greet your friend Rory, who's there with... And you all hell breaks loose. You see Jack O'Donovan drop to the floor dead.
Speaker: um ah People are screaming in terror. Uh, Meredith is clutching to you all of a sudden, Rory, um, but she kind of, like, her hands grasp, gas like, go through you because you have this ghostly physique.
Speaker: I am going to drop to the floor with Meredith. Can I grab Yeah, if you want to, you can, like, make yourself corporeal, but, it like, you you have to be aware of it. Right now, you basically are grabbing her and pulling her along, but she's not used to this sort of, like, ghastly state she's in. I'm going to grab her, pull her along um as low to the ground as I possibly can and get back to the closet.
Speaker: um And as soon as I get into the closet, I'm going to go... Hey, guys, whoa, that was wild, wasn't it? Listen, we gotta go, so, um, uh, is there a window or door in the storeroom?
Speaker: Probably in the storeroom. Oh, sorry. Just quick, quick pause here. um Did we hear someone call you rory You know, sometimes people, get you call yourself Bearby and people have nicknames.
Speaker: Here's the thing. I want to take you guys with me. I really do. But um I can only bring Meredith. So I'm going to go through this wall right here. And um ah you guys will be fine. You guys will be fine. It'll be fine. for you So don't worry about it. Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker: Yeah, he passes through, and I'll describe what he gets to once you do, figure out how you're getting out of this hellscape. You watch as a Molotov cocktail is thrown through one of the windows, and one of the tables bursts into flames.
Speaker: Oh gosh. Well, ah I'm going to cast ah um doopop but but but papa my best self. And I'm going use the container is actually the room that is outside of the closet.
Speaker: That's large enough to fit one me. So you like close the door and then you're like no, it's a container. And then you open it. Yeah. Got four threes. Okay. Okay. got four three s okay And I have burnout there, so technically it's three, but it's not a... Just a dirty.
Speaker: Great. Excellent. So who comes out is um Firefighter Me. Okay. And she comes into the closet and breaks down the wooden wall that is...
Speaker: There, that Stuber just walked through with her axe. Pow, pow, pow, pow. Brings it down, and that way we have a hole we can escape through. Yeah, I have no reason to stop that. That's fantastic.
Speaker: You do that. As you crack through this wall expecting to maybe see a city street or if it's, you know, whatever our stereotypes of Ireland is all of a sudden just like a beautiful gor green field off of the distance. It's actually just ethereal blackness, just nothingness. yeah And you fall and plummet.
Speaker: It all kind of comes back to you, Stubert. That whole incident happened almost like that exactly. You think maybe this might have been the moment maybe your anomalous power activated and you saved Meredith's life but you also now remember that you left her there.
Speaker: You left her back in Ireland to go save yourself. This gang war was too dangerous for you and your loved ones. You lost a lot of friends that night and it was better for you to just go.
Speaker: But you remember her and All of this comes crashing down on you. All of this lost love and friends who died a world that you turned your back on because it was the safest thing for you to do.
Speaker: Yeah. You know, sometimes the dead are best left in the past. And we can only carry on their memory as we keep going forward.
Speaker: ah You're falling, the three of you, through this black. Falling slowly? Nice. um And you see ah so school room coming down at you.
Speaker: Oh, shit. ah You see desks for fifth graders. You see signs and and class education stuff and...
Speaker: ah the old school food pyramid, um and you are all in your deeply awkward prepubescent bodies. Is Firefighter B there? you my awkward prepubescent Oh, yes, please. Oh, dear.
Speaker: um You are almost the same, except for your whole body is very plasticky and shiny, so you kind of have like more the aesthetic of like a doll, like a kid's doll. more than a human being. Okay.
Speaker: okay Interesting. You bear about, you know where you are. I'm going to go immediately to my desk, open my backpack and take out all of my color coded, color coded notebooks and have them in order of the classes that are coming. What do you two do?
Speaker: Are we sat down at desks? You could be. Yeah, i guess I'm going to follow her and sit down at the desk next to I'm going to fall into the nearest desk, pull my head down and start crying, I think. Yeah, you are you're dealing with a lot of feelings. this is Is this a school? is this a high school? Stop crying.
Speaker: It's not a high school. It's it's an element elementary school. But you need to stop crying. Stop crying. She'll notice. Stop crying. It's embarrassing. ah What? Who? Hey. It's embarrassing. I was cutting onion. You don't know. You don't know. You know, back when we were in that storeroom, there was a lot of onions. And so I was, you know, I got a lot of the... um I got that thing where, you know, any sort of onions makes you teary-eyed. It's not crying. I'm fine. So you're going to smell like onions? That's even worse.
Speaker: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You can't. Okay, just don't be near me. Like, just don't be near me. Barabelle, you watch the door swing open, and it's the worst thing you could imagine.
Speaker: It's the popular girl group. Susan. And they all walk in. Susan has her little pigtails, and she, like, walks up, and she goes, Oh, Barabel, don't you look cute? them hey Yeah, still working on that stammer, huh?
Speaker: Bet you didn't get that from your older sister. But you got this whole out from a her, it looks like. Well, she wore it first, and and she looked really nice in it, so I thought that maybe i would also look really nice in it.
Speaker: You're just a gross number two. no So we have that project we're going to work on later tonight. And the girls and I decided that we would let you join our work group. Isn't that fun? Wait, do I have to like, I'll do it. I'll just do it. Like I'll do it myself. and like you guys I'll just, I'll do it all. I'll do all the work and you, and we can just hang out and then maybe we can go to the pool.

We just didn't, you know you just you're just a little too much and a little too weird. You're... You're you're for it you just a number two.
Speaker: Bye.
Speaker: And she walks off to join her friends. She didn't seem very nice, Barabel. Shut up! She's perfect! Good! Oh, sure. Yeah, we weren't, you know...
Speaker: You know, we we don't have all the context, maybe. Maybe that's a fun... Maybe that's how you guys talk to each other, you know? You do your little jibs and your jabs. She was doing a lot of the jibbing and the jabbing, though, so, you know... Bob, you smell like onions now!
Speaker: ah Farabelle, this was probably a turning point in your life. We're going to say that you're going to have an opportunity for revenge in the classroom later that day. Excellent. And this is going to be your enactment. can't keep doing this.
Speaker: She can't keep doing this to me. does this every day. It's torture.
Speaker: can't take it. We could... What? We could what? We could borrow her charm. what's your what's your What's your favorite... What's Susan's best quality? Her hair, obviously. Did you not see those amazing red curls? got Felix!
Speaker: Oh my god! The bouncy reds!
Speaker: Do I have to be able to see her to steal her hair? In a not serial killer way? In a magical way? You may choose a mundane feature and take it for yourself. I think you have to be able to see them, but you can coordinate this big, like, steal her hair while you do something else if you'd like.
Speaker: Sure. Great. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Why don't we take her hair for ourselves? That's what I was thinking. i think that's a really great idea, Felix, and I don't give compliments often. No, you don't. You know, I've actually noticed that. Yeah, you're pretty mean to us. So it... Wait. It just it just means that it it's more special when you do give it.
Speaker: Okay. Let's do it. I'm going to use... um there's There's no one else in this class, right, at the moment? No, you're in free time. We're in free time. Okay.
Speaker: I want to cause like a distraction so that they can have this play out as well. So I'm going to use my inherited name tag, my initial requisition.
Speaker: ah Given an endless packet of blank name tags. Once each mission, you may write the name of someone you met today on a name tag and apply it somewhere on your person. Everyone except other agents will treat you as the named person for as long as you keep the name tag on.
Speaker: um I look like a little child right now. I would like to be an adult, so I am going to write Old Man Grissom on my name tag ah and either try to stop the teachers or her friends or pretend to be a substitute teacher. Okay, i'll let all you could be Old Man Grissom substitute teacher. Nice.
Speaker: And so you you leave the room and you come back as Old Man Grissom substitute teacher. Assistant's coming back Susan is there and she walks through the door and she goes, oh, what happened to our teacher? yeah You must be Susan. I've been told to keep my eye on you. So here's what we're going to do, Susan. I'm the substitute for today. You can call me old man Grissom or you can call me your worst nightmare. did once find by me. i Okay.
Speaker: Susan, why don't you get up on that board and write down everything you know about the Pythagorean theorem. I don't... ah ah Go ahead, give it a whirl, girl. Okay, I, um... Python theorems are are when you... Face the chalkboard, write it on there, keep your mouth shut. I'm sorry, um I wasn't ready for this. I didn't, we haven't really, i maybe I was sick that day? Still talking, not chalking! I think I wasn't feeling well maybe that day when we went over this. I don't really remember us talking about Python math. What?
Speaker: That over there! i'm gonna point at the chalk that she's holding. Let's see if I actually roll correctly, because if not, this could backfire. That is one three!
Speaker: Uh-oh. Oh, and you don't have... I do have dynamism. This is great. It's fine. i have... Let me use one of the burnouts. boop bo bo bo bo ah The chalk turns into a hot dog. did You turn the chalk into a hot dog?
Speaker: yeah she goes she's like okay i'm trying i'm trying and she's immediately starts riding on the ball but wait
Speaker: hey rix felix sneak her air take your this time ah in a non-surial killer way let's be clear We can figure that out later. Why does Nate always go to taking their hair?
Speaker: i um I'm rolling duplicity. oh i I don't have um I have burnout.
Speaker: I roll duplicity and I lose one three, right? So that actually fails. I rolled zero threes. What happens? said a failure for bar And on a failure, the target loses what I've taken permanently and no one gets it.
Speaker: They remember what they have lost. So we don't get her hair, but she loses it anyways. that's Chaos. 5, 10, 15, 17, 20, 29 chaos. hot ate hair.
Speaker: Ew, hairy hot dog! She turns and she's sobbing. She's freaking out. She throws the hot dog. I'm going to catch it. And I'm going to eat it and smirk. Wow, Barabelle's so cool! And she runs out crying and screaming.
Speaker: Um, Barabelle, the same memory. This is the moment you realize you're never going to be made small again. You are going to lead the world for all the other twos.
Speaker: um And this is the thing that fuels your desire to make middle children the most powerful people on the planet.
Speaker: I split that whole. And the snapping of the hot dog. you ah like you You fall in the darkness again, and you guys are plummeting, and you see yourself in a circus.
Speaker: You're normal-sized again. You're back to yourselves. Mm-hmm. A circus? And there's there's kids running and cheering, and there's clowns hanging out and partying. And you see a small kid panicking, looking for help or guidance.
Speaker: And he's holding at his feet a small little teddy bear that you recognize. That was pretty trippy, wasn't it? And I'm certain that all of our heroes will definitely follow up with all of the questions they have about each other's past in the next episode. For sure, everything will be revealed.
