Meet the Hosts & Favorite Movies
00:01:27
Speaker
Hello everybody and welcome back to Let's Play Pretend.
00:01:32
Speaker
My name is Jordan Derringer, I am your DMGM keeper, handler, and host.
00:01:36
Speaker
And I have with me as always Mr. Nick Barnett.
00:01:39
Speaker
Ned Dolaran.
00:01:41
Speaker
Keeping with the facts from last week, I'm going to do my top three favorite movies.
00:01:46
Speaker
They all pretty much came from my dad, except for one of them.
00:01:48
Speaker
I'll see if you can figure it out.
00:01:50
Speaker
I love Billy Madison, Big Daddy, and The Notebook.
00:01:55
Speaker
Oh, it's definitely Big Daddy that didn't come from your dad.
00:01:59
Speaker
How did you know?
00:02:01
Speaker
See, it's like one of these things are not like the other.
00:02:04
Speaker
Oh, fuck, the other two have Adam Sandler.
00:02:06
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:02:08
Speaker
See if you can figure it out, Mr. Breck Black.
00:02:11
Speaker
Ryan Winchester, and I have not seen any of these movies yet.
00:02:15
Speaker
Ned keeps saying, we're going to watch them, and then he's just like, no, we're going to watch something else.
00:02:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:22
Speaker
I mean, for liking rom-coms, that surprises me that you haven't seen The Notebook, but I guess that's more rom than com.
00:02:28
Speaker
So...
00:02:29
Speaker
I guess that's understandable.
00:02:30
Speaker
What do you think, Mr. Matt Check?
00:02:33
Speaker
Oh, Matt Check here playing Arthur.
00:02:36
Speaker
And I definitely not didn't just on the spot think of the three movies.
00:02:42
Speaker
But Arthur's three movies are Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Alien, and Paddington 2.
00:02:55
Speaker
OK, but I got to ask, Texas Chainsaw, the original or the remake?
00:02:59
Speaker
The original.
00:03:01
Speaker
So the one where he's like dancing in the street at the end of the chainsaw.
00:03:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:03:07
Speaker
Perfect.
00:03:08
Speaker
Love it.
00:03:10
Speaker
And last but certainly not least, I have with me my amazing wife, Mrs. Melanie Derringer.
00:03:16
Speaker
Hello.
00:03:17
Speaker
I'm playing Samantha Williams and Sam likes to watch reruns of I Love Lucy.
00:03:25
Speaker
OK.
00:03:26
Speaker
All right.
00:03:28
Speaker
How's that feel, Jenkins?
00:03:31
Speaker
Oh, God, I already have enough responsibility.
00:03:33
Speaker
Please sit down.
00:03:36
Speaker
You know, we hired you.
00:03:40
Speaker
You didn't even hire me.
00:03:41
Speaker
I've still yet to be paid.
00:03:43
Speaker
Nick just gives me cheese balls and a futon.
00:03:46
Speaker
How about exposure?
00:03:49
Speaker
Exposure to what?
00:03:51
Speaker
The darkness of this basement?
00:03:53
Speaker
Why don't you guys go to play your game?
00:03:55
Speaker
I'm just going to sit here and munch.
00:03:57
Speaker
Yeah, Jenkins, that's how you can go, you know?
00:03:59
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes.
00:04:01
Speaker
What shit were you going to talk, Melanie?
00:04:05
Speaker
I told him to go away.
00:04:07
Speaker
Oh, OK.
00:04:07
Speaker
I'm going to say, I kept hearing you underneath everybody else, like, like, He's fine.
00:04:17
Speaker
Jenkins can just go suck a toe.
00:04:21
Speaker
Which I will.
00:04:21
Speaker
This is a very important question, though.
00:04:25
Speaker
Which toe?
00:04:26
Speaker
Big toe.
00:04:26
Speaker
Next big toe.
00:04:28
Speaker
Oh.
00:04:30
Speaker
Those are disgusting.
00:04:32
Speaker
I'm not putting my mouth.
00:04:32
Speaker
Get away from me.
00:04:33
Speaker
Go away.
00:04:34
Speaker
Get back to the other side of the room.
00:04:35
Speaker
Go away, Jenkins.
00:04:39
Speaker
And with that, who's ready to play pretend?
Encounter with Older Samantha
00:04:45
Speaker
Yes.
00:04:46
Speaker
I am.
00:04:48
Speaker
Perfect.
00:04:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:04:49
Speaker
So quick recap from the last episode.
00:04:52
Speaker
You guys, after a blinding light came to at Cryptid Crafts, seeing that everything was, I mean...
00:05:03
Speaker
As far as you guys could tell, everything was fine.
00:05:05
Speaker
It was like... Almost like you were teleported back in time, but... You weren't really teleported back in time, because when you looked through the mirror... You saw that time had indeed gone by, because it was nighttime... In this other realm that you were able to look through.
00:05:20
Speaker
So you kind of got your bearings, decided... You know, Ryan's place is the closest.
00:05:24
Speaker
Let's go check that place out.
00:05:26
Speaker
And there was a whole lot of nothing there.
00:05:30
Speaker
The only thing you guys found out was that Ryan...
00:05:33
Speaker
is a closet rich kid for Ohio.
00:05:37
Speaker
Ohio rich.
00:05:39
Speaker
Not trying to diss Ohio, but Ohio rich.
00:05:42
Speaker
You know, we have friends in Ohio.
00:05:44
Speaker
Are you saying he was ShamWow rich?
00:05:48
Speaker
Wow.
00:05:50
Speaker
That's a good way to put it.
00:05:52
Speaker
It's a great way to put it.
00:05:53
Speaker
And you know what, Melanie?
00:05:55
Speaker
I know we have friends in Ohio, and that's why I can talk smack about it.
00:05:59
Speaker
Fair.
00:06:00
Speaker
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:06:03
Speaker
That being said, you decided the next closest place was Samantha's, and Sam really wanted to check on Anubis.
00:06:10
Speaker
So you guys started heading down that way, went down the main roads and side roads more than going through the woods or anything.
00:06:18
Speaker
When you got close, you saw this giant divot in the ground, found where each end of it was.
00:06:24
Speaker
You came to the assumption that it was...
00:06:27
Speaker
one of the places where the water tower was walking and kind of, you know, gouged out the ground there.
00:06:33
Speaker
And you ended up falling straight into a trap.
00:06:37
Speaker
A net was underneath you on the ground.
00:06:39
Speaker
And as soon as you stepped on it, it pulled itself up, catching all of you in it.
00:06:45
Speaker
And as you guys were all pulled up into this net, up into a tree, you hear hoof beats and you hear somebody say,
00:06:55
Speaker
Well, look what we got here, Anubis.
00:06:58
Speaker
The traps are working.
00:07:00
Speaker
And as you guys look down, you see an older version of Sam riding her horse.
00:07:08
Speaker
As she looks up at you guys, she looks up from under a...
00:07:14
Speaker
Cowboy hat?
00:07:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:15
Speaker
She looks up from under her cowboy hat.
00:07:19
Speaker
I was like, do I say cowboy hat?
00:07:21
Speaker
Do I say cowgirl hat?
00:07:23
Speaker
Because, you know, Sam, what do I say?
00:07:25
Speaker
Cow hat.
00:07:26
Speaker
Cow hat, yep.
00:07:28
Speaker
It's a cow hat.
00:07:28
Speaker
It's white, black spots.
00:07:30
Speaker
It's got the horns, you know.
00:07:31
Speaker
Cow hat.
00:07:35
Speaker
She looks up from underneath her cowboy hat.
00:07:37
Speaker
You see a scar running alongside the left side of her face from the corner of her mouth all the way back to her ear.
00:07:46
Speaker
So this version of Sam has seen some shit.
00:07:49
Speaker
And as she looks up at you guys, you see the briefest look of recognition.
00:07:57
Speaker
And as soon as you see it, it's gone and she raises a shotgun at you.
00:08:03
Speaker
Um, get off my horse.
00:08:05
Speaker
She doesn't say anything.
00:08:06
Speaker
She just holds a shotgun at you.
00:08:09
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, put it down.
00:08:11
Speaker
Get off my horse.
00:08:13
Speaker
Um, carrots?
00:08:16
Speaker
Hummus.
00:08:17
Speaker
Get off my fucking horse, bitch.
00:08:20
Speaker
Sam, I don't think he was talking to you.
00:08:25
Speaker
Talking to both at this point, I guess.
00:08:27
Speaker
This hurts my brain.
00:08:28
Speaker
This really hurts my brain.
00:08:30
Speaker
Yeah, I don't trust it.
00:08:31
Speaker
That's not me.
00:08:32
Speaker
I don't care what that thing looks like.
00:08:35
Speaker
I want to go for it.
00:08:36
Speaker
Is that your cow hat?
00:08:38
Speaker
No, I don't have a cowboy hat.
00:08:41
Speaker
I didn't say cowboy.
00:08:43
Speaker
I just said cow hat.
00:08:44
Speaker
All right, I don't gender hats.
00:08:47
Speaker
Dammit, Arthur.
00:08:49
Speaker
Can you cut us down from here?
00:08:51
Speaker
We ain't trying to cause you no harm.
00:08:52
Speaker
Just let us down.
00:08:56
Speaker
Why do you look like my friends?
00:08:58
Speaker
Because we are.
00:09:00
Speaker
Why do you look like an old version of my friend?
00:09:03
Speaker
You kind of have my face, and I don't like that.
00:09:06
Speaker
The last time somebody had a face that, you know, we cared about, he tried to kill us.
00:09:12
Speaker
Oh, I'll do more than try.
00:09:14
Speaker
You're fishing a barrel right now.
00:09:16
Speaker
You have five seconds to explain why I shouldn't fill you full buckshot.
00:09:22
Speaker
Because if you kill me, then you probably die too.
00:09:25
Speaker
I wouldn't bet on it.
00:09:27
Speaker
That was a pretty good answer.
00:09:29
Speaker
Quick question, older Sam.
00:09:31
Speaker
Where's the rest of us?
00:09:33
Speaker
I'm assuming we're all older.
00:09:35
Speaker
Yeah, we all survived and are healthy.
00:09:38
Speaker
Couldn't tell you.
00:09:39
Speaker
Somebody had to stay behind.
00:09:42
Speaker
Behind for what?
00:09:45
Speaker
You see she rides really slowly underneath you guys.
00:09:52
Speaker
and she reaches up through the net, still holding the shotgun in one hand, reaches up through the net and taps Ned on the arm.
00:10:03
Speaker
Ned, give me a... I don't want alertness.
00:10:07
Speaker
What do I want?
00:10:12
Speaker
Give me a humant.
00:10:14
Speaker
Humant.
00:10:17
Speaker
Natural nine on a 40.
00:10:20
Speaker
You know exactly what she's going for.
00:10:23
Speaker
Look, look, it's right here.
00:10:24
Speaker
It's right here.
00:10:25
Speaker
I'm going to, like, grab her wrist and move it up higher up on the shoulder.
00:10:28
Speaker
Is that what you're looking for?
00:10:29
Speaker
That little knot right there?
00:10:31
Speaker
That's what you're looking for, right?
00:10:33
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:10:35
Speaker
At that, she lowers the shotgun and rides over quickly, pulls out a knife and cuts
Older Sam's Story & Sacrifices
00:10:40
Speaker
the rope to let you guys down.
00:10:42
Speaker
Okay, first of all, we're hanging in the air.
00:10:45
Speaker
Are we taking fucking damage from this?
00:10:48
Speaker
No, you're not high enough up.
00:10:50
Speaker
This just matches my Pitch Perfect reference.
00:10:54
Speaker
If she was able to reach up and feel Ned's shoulder just from the back of the horse, you're not up very high.
00:11:01
Speaker
Well, I don't know.
00:11:01
Speaker
I'm on the bottom, so everyone's falling on me, apparently.
00:11:04
Speaker
And Anubis is pretty tall, so... Even still, a pretty tall horse, as far as, like, falling to the ground, that's just like falling off AJ's swing set at this point.
00:11:14
Speaker
Like, yeah, it's not going to feel great.
00:11:15
Speaker
You might be winded, but you're not going to, like, break your neck.
00:11:20
Speaker
Have you ever been thrown from a horse?
00:11:22
Speaker
Would you quit trying to have him break my neck?
00:11:25
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:11:26
Speaker
Have you?
00:11:27
Speaker
I've told you the story about what happened with Kitty, right?
00:11:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:30
Speaker
And it hurt, didn't it?
00:11:32
Speaker
Because I got thrown into a gate.
00:11:35
Speaker
Yes.
00:11:38
Speaker
You still hit the ground and you still got hurt.
00:11:42
Speaker
And it was more winded than anything.
00:11:44
Speaker
You're fine.
00:11:45
Speaker
Do you want to take fall down?
00:11:46
Speaker
You know what?
00:11:49
Speaker
No, that's on the bottom.
00:11:50
Speaker
I don't want to take fall damage.
00:11:54
Speaker
Can I roll my damage, Jordan?
00:11:56
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:11:57
Speaker
Only Samantha's taking damage.
00:11:58
Speaker
I just rolled a D6.
00:11:59
Speaker
Take two fall damage, Samantha.
00:12:01
Speaker
No, that's OK.
00:12:03
Speaker
That's what I thought.
00:12:05
Speaker
Oh, you have a choice?
00:12:09
Speaker
Not usually.
00:12:15
Speaker
But that being said, now that you've seen an older Samantha, you are all going to roll me some sanity.
00:12:20
Speaker
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:12:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:20
Speaker
39 on a 68.
00:12:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:21
Speaker
57 on a 71.
00:12:21
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:12:21
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:12:21
Speaker
It's probably, you know.
00:12:23
Speaker
I'll run back over.
00:12:45
Speaker
16 on a 47.
00:12:46
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:47
Speaker
I think this makes the most sense.
00:12:50
Speaker
97 out of 70.
00:12:50
Speaker
Oh, nice.
00:12:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:55
Speaker
Everybody that succeeded takes zero.
00:12:57
Speaker
Oh.
00:12:58
Speaker
Samantha, take two.
00:12:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:02
Speaker
She rolled a 28.
00:13:03
Speaker
She's fine.
00:13:04
Speaker
Ryan just starts picking himself up and dusting himself off.
00:13:06
Speaker
He's like, you know, this really isn't the weirdest thing we've seen in the last.
00:13:09
Speaker
And he checks his empty wrist and be like, I don't know, four or five hours.
00:13:16
Speaker
This is God talking.
00:13:17
Speaker
You guys have been here longer than four or five hours at this point.
Dog Tags & Alternate Realities
00:13:20
Speaker
Ah, how long would that be?
00:13:23
Speaker
12 maybe.
00:13:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:26
Speaker
Says you, I'm looking at my face.
00:13:30
Speaker
What I want to know is when I asked you if you wanted to go Sasquatch hunting, you said you didn't know how to make that, Sam.
00:13:39
Speaker
Clearly you did.
00:13:42
Speaker
I don't.
00:13:43
Speaker
I was going to say, without even letting you speak, she just goes, yeah, I didn't.
00:13:49
Speaker
And it's a skill I had to learn in here, Arthur.
00:13:52
Speaker
I don't like this.
00:13:56
Speaker
It's without a clarification.
00:13:58
Speaker
Hey, important question.
00:14:00
Speaker
Older Sam, how long?
00:14:02
Speaker
How long what?
00:14:04
Speaker
How long have you been here?
00:14:06
Speaker
It's kind of hard to keep track of days, but it's been a while.
00:14:12
Speaker
Watching this Mark stuff on the wall.
00:14:16
Speaker
Like I do.
00:14:19
Speaker
Arthur, you know as well as I do that there is no nothing in the sky to show passage of time.
00:14:26
Speaker
I mean, there's always guessing.
00:14:29
Speaker
Okay.
00:14:30
Speaker
Well, if I had to guess, she stops and looks over at Samantha, at Melanie.
00:14:36
Speaker
Samantha looks at her, kind of cocks her head for a second and goes, five years.
00:14:46
Speaker
You mean to tell me I'm going to look like that in five years?
00:14:50
Speaker
Excuse me?
00:14:51
Speaker
What the hell happened to your face?
00:14:54
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:14:55
Speaker
At what point in your journey are you right now?
00:15:00
Speaker
I would say we're 12 hours into our journey.
00:15:05
Speaker
Just after the movie theater.
00:15:06
Speaker
We touched a magic tooth.
00:15:09
Speaker
We shot a Frankenstein.
00:15:11
Speaker
There was a walking water tower.
00:15:15
Speaker
What else do you want to know?
00:15:17
Speaker
A magic tooth?
00:15:20
Speaker
What?
00:15:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:24
Speaker
So we're fucking with the space-time continuum.
00:15:26
Speaker
Lovely.
00:15:26
Speaker
I... really?
00:15:28
Speaker
So your journey's different than mine.
00:15:31
Speaker
What do you mean our journey's different than yours?
00:15:34
Speaker
We didn't have magic teeth where we came from.
00:15:39
Speaker
What do you mean where you came from?
00:15:40
Speaker
Did you not come from Ohio?
00:15:42
Speaker
When... when we were here.
00:15:44
Speaker
I'm sorry, this is all a little fucked up for me.
00:15:47
Speaker
You think it's fine for me?
00:15:48
Speaker
Should we be yelling in the open?
00:15:52
Speaker
We're fine.
00:15:54
Speaker
Shut up, Arthur.
00:15:58
Speaker
Hey, uh, older Sam, do you know the name Elise by any chance?
00:16:04
Speaker
No.
00:16:06
Speaker
No, that name doesn't ring a bell.
00:16:09
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:11
Speaker
I'm utterly confused.
00:16:13
Speaker
Before we continue to talk, as freaked out as I am, and I apologize, Arthur, for snapping at you.
00:16:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:21
Speaker
You do have a good part.
00:16:23
Speaker
She reaches over and thwacks Arthur in the back of the head.
00:16:26
Speaker
Sam, it's definitely you.
00:16:30
Speaker
Sam shoots a glare at Ned.
00:16:33
Speaker
Which one?
00:16:34
Speaker
Me.
00:16:35
Speaker
Me, Sam.
00:16:39
Speaker
Yeah, she doesn't get to say what my Sam does.
00:16:41
Speaker
All right, look.
00:16:44
Speaker
Young Sam, you're Sam.
00:16:46
Speaker
Sure.
00:16:46
Speaker
Hush.
00:16:48
Speaker
Barn.
00:16:49
Speaker
We're going to the barn.
00:16:50
Speaker
I thought you said we were safe out here.
00:16:52
Speaker
For peace of mind, we're going to the barn.
00:16:55
Speaker
And she gets back on Anubis and starts to ride away.
00:16:58
Speaker
This bitch better get the fuck off my horse before I stab her in the back.
00:17:04
Speaker
This is the strangest definition of self-loathing I've ever seen.
00:17:11
Speaker
Sam, it's okay.
00:17:12
Speaker
You're the prettier Sam.
00:17:14
Speaker
Oh, thanks, Ryan.
00:17:17
Speaker
No problem.
00:17:18
Speaker
So let's follow her, I guess, or do we run?
00:17:20
Speaker
Because I don't want to run.
00:17:22
Speaker
She kind of just fucking left us, so... To your barn, I guess.
00:17:28
Speaker
Okay, so you guys head to the barn.
00:17:31
Speaker
And as you get there, older Sam is already putting Anubis back in his stall and putting his tack away.
00:17:37
Speaker
I'm just glaring at her.
00:17:42
Speaker
She reaches up and brushes his neck for a minute as you guys are walking in.
00:17:48
Speaker
So does it actually look like Sam's house, like barn?
00:17:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:56
Speaker
Like it doesn't look any different?
00:18:00
Speaker
Nope, this is not one of the corrupted places.
00:18:03
Speaker
So it looks normal.
00:18:06
Speaker
I'm writing corrupted in my notes right now.
00:18:10
Speaker
I mean, that's the best way that I can think to describe it.
00:18:14
Speaker
You know, that's not that's not a story hint.
Sacrifices to Close the Portal
00:18:20
Speaker
Write that down.
00:18:20
Speaker
Write that down.
00:18:25
Speaker
Samantha, how old are you?
00:18:26
Speaker
Me?
00:18:27
Speaker
Or her?
00:18:28
Speaker
No, you're Sam.
00:18:29
Speaker
She's Samantha.
00:18:34
Speaker
How old am I?
00:18:37
Speaker
Well, if my passage of time is correct, and it has indeed been five years, that would put me at 23.
00:18:48
Speaker
Ned just purses his lips, afraid to say anything beyond what he just said.
00:18:56
Speaker
Probably a smart idea.
00:18:57
Speaker
So, Samantha, you knew about the forget-me-not, but you didn't know about the tooth release.
00:19:03
Speaker
Did you guys, old us, I don't know how to say it, go to the movie theater?
00:19:11
Speaker
No, we came here.
00:19:13
Speaker
Were you chased by, uh, evil Chris?
00:19:17
Speaker
Oh, oh, we know evil Chris.
00:19:20
Speaker
Arthur takes out his cryptid book and he has, he bookmarked the seven creatures that match the descriptions of the evil crest.
00:19:32
Speaker
I'm like, can you show me which ones that you've run into specifically out of these seven?
00:19:38
Speaker
She looks through, flips between the seven that you have, and points at four of them.
00:19:46
Speaker
You're narrowing it down.
00:19:47
Speaker
I'll give you that.
00:19:48
Speaker
You are narrowing it down.
00:19:50
Speaker
She looks at it and she's like, we ran into these four.
00:19:56
Speaker
At this point, how are you guys planning on getting back?
00:20:00
Speaker
We have no fucking clue.
00:20:03
Speaker
There's a way to get back?
00:20:04
Speaker
That's what I meant when I said one of us had to stay behind.
00:20:08
Speaker
So you're saying the rest of us went back and you stayed back?
00:20:12
Speaker
Yes.
00:20:14
Speaker
The rest of you made it out.
00:20:15
Speaker
Wait, when you say rest of you...
00:20:18
Speaker
Do you mean Chris and Ashley went with?
00:20:22
Speaker
They made it out too?
00:20:25
Speaker
Yes.
00:20:27
Speaker
You all made it out.
00:20:29
Speaker
But somebody had to stay behind to close the portal.
00:20:32
Speaker
Why exactly?
00:20:34
Speaker
Otherwise we were going to unleash all this evil out into our world.
00:20:38
Speaker
We couldn't have that.
00:20:40
Speaker
And it couldn't be closed from the other side?
00:20:43
Speaker
Generally a door closes on both sides.
00:20:46
Speaker
For the spell that we were able to find, the only way that we could close the portal was it had to be done on the spell's originating side.
00:20:55
Speaker
So one of us had to stay behind.
00:20:57
Speaker
Could the spell not have been replicated on the other side?
00:21:02
Speaker
No.
00:21:04
Speaker
Why not?
00:21:06
Speaker
Because there were things that we needed for the spell that we could only get from the monsters.
00:21:11
Speaker
And why not send them through with everybody else?
00:21:15
Speaker
I'm sure you've already gone through all of this once, but it's a little bit new to us.
00:21:18
Speaker
I don't know if it would have worked that way.
00:21:20
Speaker
We were in a hurry to get the spell done, to get the portal open.
00:21:26
Speaker
We were being chased down by, I guess, what we're both calling Evil Chris.
00:21:32
Speaker
And either way, I had to close it before he got back out.
00:21:38
Speaker
Actually, I'm calling him Negachris.
00:21:39
Speaker
Evil Chris gives him too much credit.
00:21:42
Speaker
So if he was chasing you guys, are there multiple evil Neglo Chris's or is it the same one?
00:21:51
Speaker
I believe it's the same one.
00:21:55
Speaker
I haven't been bothered by him in a while.
00:21:59
Speaker
So I figured he finally got bored and found something else to do or other people to terrorize.
00:22:04
Speaker
That's us.
00:22:06
Speaker
I didn't realize that the other people he was terrorizing were my friends all over again.
00:22:11
Speaker
And, you know, yourself, but whatever.
00:22:14
Speaker
Arthur digs up in his backpack and pulls out his ritual book.
00:22:18
Speaker
And he asks, what was the spell ritual you guys did specifically?
00:22:23
Speaker
Like I said, we had to get monster parts.
00:22:26
Speaker
Yeah, but like, what was the spell?
00:22:29
Speaker
Maybe you read it wrong.
00:22:30
Speaker
Maybe there's a way wherever you could all leave.
00:22:35
Speaker
Well...
00:22:37
Speaker
Real quick, I'm more interested, we'll talk about the spell.
00:22:43
Speaker
What was this magic tooth that you claim you found?
00:22:48
Speaker
I didn't find it.
00:22:52
Speaker
Yeah, that would be me, Arthur.
00:22:54
Speaker
Yeah, in the movie theater, I found a tooth and a set of Chris's dog tags, but he already had his dog tags and Negacris really wanted that tooth, said it was his.
00:23:08
Speaker
Everybody remind me of their news.
00:23:14
Speaker
Ooh, I'm rolling hot tonight.
00:23:16
Speaker
That is a 22 on a 26.
00:23:18
Speaker
Aw, man.
Theories on the In-Between
00:23:22
Speaker
Ooh, that is a 66 on a 66.
00:23:26
Speaker
Nice.
00:23:27
Speaker
So two crit successes.
00:23:30
Speaker
Oh, I didn't even think that I got a crit there.
00:23:31
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:23:32
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:23:36
Speaker
It's a 40 out of 37.
00:23:41
Speaker
So fitting.
00:23:41
Speaker
Arthur doesn't see anything.
00:23:43
Speaker
Mine's a 69 out of a 68.
00:23:45
Speaker
69's a crit success.
00:23:48
Speaker
It is?
00:23:49
Speaker
Woo!
00:23:50
Speaker
Made that house rule, what was it, like a couple episodes before Shelby got here.
00:23:55
Speaker
Sweet.
00:23:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:23:57
Speaker
Okay.
00:23:58
Speaker
So we have three crit successes and Arthur doesn't catch anything.
00:24:04
Speaker
I get it.
00:24:05
Speaker
I get it.
00:24:05
Speaker
She hit him pretty hard in the back of the head.
00:24:08
Speaker
Yeah, she did.
00:24:10
Speaker
So for the three of you that crit succeeded, Matt, I'm not going to send you off.
00:24:13
Speaker
This is just a small thing that just going to tie.
00:24:16
Speaker
Thank you, God.
00:24:18
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:24:19
Speaker
You guys see that she upon
00:24:24
Speaker
Ryan talking about Chris's dog tags.
00:24:27
Speaker
You see her hand go to her chest and you are all able to see a glint of metal around her neck.
00:24:35
Speaker
Except for me.
00:24:36
Speaker
Except for Arthur.
00:24:39
Speaker
Are those his?
00:24:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:24:42
Speaker
And you said he went back?
00:24:45
Speaker
Yes.
00:24:47
Speaker
So he's not really here.
00:24:50
Speaker
Not anymore.
00:24:51
Speaker
He gave these to me before he left.
00:24:54
Speaker
You can kind of see Sam's shoulders slump a little bit as she turns away and kind of has a perplexed look on her face.
00:25:05
Speaker
Ryan is going to discreetly slide a third set of Chris's dog tags into his shirt because he still has them from the ones he found.
00:25:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:17
Speaker
Just because he feels it would be awkward.
00:25:19
Speaker
I'm interested to see what Ryan's planning on doing with Chris's dog tags.
00:25:23
Speaker
He just feels it's awkward to have a set of dog tags when obviously they mean something to those two.
00:25:28
Speaker
And he just, you know, has a set.
00:25:31
Speaker
All right, hold on.
00:25:34
Speaker
Something here.
00:25:35
Speaker
We got to know.
00:25:36
Speaker
We got to know.
00:25:38
Speaker
Samantha, can I see those dog tags?
00:25:42
Speaker
I'll give them right back.
00:25:45
Speaker
Do you want me to tell you why I want them first?
00:25:47
Speaker
Roll me a persuade.
00:25:47
Speaker
Persuade.
00:25:49
Speaker
Persuade.
00:25:53
Speaker
And you're going to roll against her human.
00:25:55
Speaker
That is a 37 on a 50.
00:26:01
Speaker
What dice are you using?
00:26:02
Speaker
Can I borrow that?
00:26:05
Speaker
Look, normally I have crit fails.
00:26:07
Speaker
I'm actually succeeding things.
00:26:08
Speaker
I'm not going to argue tonight.
00:26:10
Speaker
Yeah, for real.
00:26:13
Speaker
She looks at you and she goes, yeah, why?
00:26:16
Speaker
Ryan, I know you got Chris's from our transport.
00:26:20
Speaker
Let me see them.
00:26:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:24
Speaker
And he slips them off and hands them over.
00:26:28
Speaker
I want to come here, everybody.
00:26:30
Speaker
Just in case I don't see something.
00:26:32
Speaker
Are they the same?
00:26:34
Speaker
They're exactly the same.
00:26:36
Speaker
The only difference, and it's not anything to do with the actual tags, is
00:26:44
Speaker
is the one that older Samantha, not old Sam, older Samantha has, has dog tag silencers on them.
00:26:54
Speaker
Damn, I was really thinking there was going to be something different.
00:26:57
Speaker
All right, so there's doubles of us in different times is kind of what I'm picking up here.
00:27:05
Speaker
Multiverse?
00:27:07
Speaker
Yeah, kind of like the Marvel movies, right?
00:27:09
Speaker
It's kind of how it seems.
00:27:11
Speaker
Or the failed dark universe.
00:27:14
Speaker
We don't talk about that, you know that.
00:27:16
Speaker
I mean, we did keep calling it the in-between.
00:27:19
Speaker
I guess it has a little bit more merit to it than we thought.
00:27:23
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:24
Speaker
The only thing that's not making sense here is, I don't know how it went for y'all when you were here, but our Sam over there having a breakdown right now, her and Chris were kinda getting a little closer or starting to.
00:27:39
Speaker
I just don't see him.
00:27:41
Speaker
Why would he leave you here?
00:27:43
Speaker
I didn't give him an option.
00:27:46
Speaker
What were chasing you?
00:27:50
Speaker
The evil Chris was chasing us.
00:27:51
Speaker
What was he?
00:27:53
Speaker
We opened the portal and I pushed.
00:27:55
Speaker
Chris wanted to stay behind.
00:27:57
Speaker
Classic Chris.
00:27:59
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:00
Speaker
We opened the portal and I made a rash decision.
00:28:05
Speaker
and pushed him through and closed it before he could come back.
00:28:10
Speaker
He already died once.
00:28:11
Speaker
I didn't want to lose him again to this place.
00:28:16
Speaker
And ironically, I lost him to our world now.
Plans to Explore & Multiple Versions
00:28:20
Speaker
Sam flips back around and goes, hold on a second.
00:28:28
Speaker
If Chris and Ashley are both gone, then who were the two with their faces at the movie theater?
00:28:35
Speaker
That was Chris and Ashley.
00:28:36
Speaker
It couldn't have been if they left.
00:28:38
Speaker
There are two of you here right now.
00:28:40
Speaker
Is it any different?
00:28:42
Speaker
Possibly.
00:28:44
Speaker
And possibly not.
00:28:45
Speaker
It's not a guarantee.
00:28:47
Speaker
Why didn't they come with us then?
00:28:48
Speaker
When we got transported back?
00:28:50
Speaker
We didn't have a choice where we went.
00:28:51
Speaker
We got sent back to Cryptid.
00:28:52
Speaker
Maybe they got sent... I don't know.
00:28:55
Speaker
Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:28:57
Speaker
Where do you think... Where would they have popped out?
00:28:59
Speaker
I don't know.
00:29:00
Speaker
Where did we first pop out when we got here?
00:29:03
Speaker
Do you think they could be at the greenhouse?
00:29:05
Speaker
It don't seem any more or less likely than anything else.
00:29:10
Speaker
Sam pulls back out her phone and checks to see if either Chris or Ashley have texted her back.
00:29:18
Speaker
You don't have a text.
00:29:21
Speaker
The only thing that you see is message failed to send.
00:29:27
Speaker
Sam just kind of aggressively clicks the button, turned off, seeing the message failed.
00:29:33
Speaker
and slips it back into her pocket.
00:29:36
Speaker
And she starts to slightly pace, not like a full on like pacing back and forth, but kind of like a nervous, kind of like a nervous tick almost.
00:29:45
Speaker
Roll me alertness.
00:29:47
Speaker
Oh no.
00:29:49
Speaker
That's a two on a 68.
00:29:52
Speaker
You see that older Samantha is also doing the same thing and playing with her braid a little bit.
00:29:59
Speaker
Stop that.
00:30:01
Speaker
I don't like that.
00:30:03
Speaker
You forget I am you, but older.
00:30:05
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, well... Of course we're going to have the same tics.
00:30:09
Speaker
Doesn't make me feel any better, alright?
00:30:11
Speaker
How long were you here before you figured out a way to get anyone back?
00:30:15
Speaker
We automatically came to the assumption right away that we had to redo Ashley's thing.
00:30:23
Speaker
Her ritual.
00:30:25
Speaker
And that kind of evolved into this other spell that we found.
00:30:30
Speaker
Found where?
00:30:32
Speaker
We got it from somebody and they didn't make it.
00:30:36
Speaker
From who?
00:30:37
Speaker
Now, do you think you would really know who?
00:30:40
Speaker
You can still tell us who it is.
00:30:42
Speaker
It was somebody that we met in here.
00:30:46
Speaker
It's not anybody you would know.
00:30:49
Speaker
Are you sure about that?
00:30:49
Speaker
Because we met a couple people already.
00:30:54
Speaker
And considering there's two of you, there's a good chance we may run into them as well.
00:30:59
Speaker
And it'd be nice to know who they are and not, you know, hit first, ask questions later.
00:31:03
Speaker
You see your shoulders kind of slump.
00:31:06
Speaker
He didn't give us his name.
00:31:07
Speaker
He's just... We ended up calling him the guy in the suit.
00:31:12
Speaker
He's just a tall man in a suit.
00:31:15
Speaker
Did he talk funny?
00:31:17
Speaker
Not really.
00:31:20
Speaker
So it couldn't have been Lance or Charlie then?
00:31:22
Speaker
No.
00:31:24
Speaker
Well, Charlie's a woman and Lance is in a police officer uniform last I saw him.
00:31:30
Speaker
So you do know who Lance and Charlie are?
00:31:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:31:34
Speaker
Are there two of them as well?
00:31:37
Speaker
Um, I don't know.
00:31:40
Speaker
They, uh... Do you know what happened to them?
00:31:45
Speaker
They just kind of do their own thing here.
00:31:48
Speaker
We, uh... So they're alive.
00:31:52
Speaker
Last I, again, last I saw them, yes.
00:31:54
Speaker
We, uh... They seem to have a sixth sense for this place and knowing when people are in danger at the nest.
00:32:06
Speaker
So they kind of take it upon themselves to stage rescue missions.
00:32:11
Speaker
Rescue missions?
00:32:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:17
Speaker
Last I heard they were going to rescue someone from the nest, but that was a day or two ago.
00:32:25
Speaker
So they saw you a day or two ago and yet saw her once at Young Sam and didn't say anything at all about her looking familiar or having the same name and yet still helped us.
00:32:40
Speaker
They're kind of mysterious that way, aren't they?
00:32:43
Speaker
They told us they hadn't seen no one else either, and that's already been proven wrong a couple of times.
00:32:49
Speaker
Ryan is going to lean past everyone and be like, I'm sorry, Ned, you might have been right about them, and then lean back.
00:32:54
Speaker
Like I said, I don't trust them or mistrust them.
00:32:58
Speaker
I just don't trust anything here, except for all y'all that I know, or y'all that I start patting everyone on the shoulders like, not, not, not, all right.
00:33:07
Speaker
As long as we're not, we are.
00:33:10
Speaker
I want Ned to give me a human troll.
00:33:18
Speaker
Ooh, 55 on a 40 crit fail.
00:33:22
Speaker
OK, everyone else.
00:33:23
Speaker
Go ahead and also give me human.
00:33:26
Speaker
My human didn't go up.
00:33:27
Speaker
I rolled it and I rolled it on.
00:33:29
Speaker
So yeah, Ned, you don't trust anything right now.
00:33:33
Speaker
The fuck is human to you up there.
00:33:34
Speaker
It is.
00:33:34
Speaker
Oh yeah, I failed.
00:33:37
Speaker
You went Canadian there for a second.
00:33:42
Speaker
I do random accents every once in a while.
00:33:45
Speaker
They just come out and they're not planned.
00:33:47
Speaker
Like I have a British accent that just comes out whenever.
00:33:51
Speaker
Oh yeah, I failed.
00:33:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:52
Speaker
Oh yeah, we'll go get some Timmy's there, bud.
00:33:57
Speaker
I love me some Hortons.
00:33:58
Speaker
I also have this lady on TikTok who can do like
00:34:02
Speaker
different accents and like I've been trying to learn from her so I can do different accents as characters sometime during like D&D or whatever.
00:34:12
Speaker
So they just randomly come out.
00:34:13
Speaker
That's not a bad idea.
00:34:15
Speaker
Anyway, for the rest of the human to go ahead.
00:34:19
Speaker
Ryan.
00:34:21
Speaker
Ryan didn't know anything at 98 out of 10.
00:34:24
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:34:27
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:29
Speaker
Samantha.
00:34:30
Speaker
28 out of 10.
00:34:33
Speaker
Jesus Christ.
00:34:35
Speaker
Come on, Arthur, save us.
00:34:37
Speaker
Five out of 52.
00:34:38
Speaker
My lord and savior.
00:34:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:44
Speaker
You have the thought that technically Lance and Charlotte have or did not lie to you.
00:34:53
Speaker
Wait a minute.
00:34:56
Speaker
Technically, he said they have not seen anybody else.
00:35:00
Speaker
Samantha wouldn't be somebody else.
00:35:05
Speaker
And from the time you guys saw Elise, that was after he left you guys.
00:35:13
Speaker
Hmm, seems like they technically were telling the truth.
00:35:19
Speaker
And older Sam never said whether these rescues were successful.
00:35:27
Speaker
So it could be that by the time that they get there for their rescues, the people are already dead.
00:35:32
Speaker
So technically they wouldn't have seen other people.
00:35:36
Speaker
Just saying.
00:35:38
Speaker
Man, Arthur, that is some roundabout thinking, but I mean, I guess you're not wrong.
00:35:43
Speaker
Just saying.
00:35:44
Speaker
All right.
00:35:46
Speaker
I give Samantha back the dog tags and then I hold Ryan's kind of in front of my face and I look between Sam and Ryan.
00:35:56
Speaker
Ryan, you really want these, huh?
00:36:01
Speaker
I mean, considering they may have some use, power, energy, whatever you want to call it, if there's one spell out there, there's got to be more, so.
00:36:13
Speaker
I hold him out to Arthur.
00:36:17
Speaker
Arthur?
00:36:20
Speaker
Ryan just flips you off.
00:36:23
Speaker
Man, you got the brains for it, but he's got the weird occult-y stuff in his back pocket and whatnot.
00:36:29
Speaker
Sam just snatches him.
00:36:31
Speaker
She snatches the dog tags.
00:36:34
Speaker
Are you going to try to oppose that?
00:36:36
Speaker
I'm going to try and give him to Arthur, so I guess, yeah.
00:36:39
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:41
Speaker
So I need you to roll dodge against Samantha's...
00:36:55
Speaker
We'll say dexterity.
00:36:56
Speaker
Just straight up dexterity.
00:36:58
Speaker
I got a 20 on a 30.
00:37:00
Speaker
Where's my dexterity?
00:37:02
Speaker
Oh, there it is.
00:37:04
Speaker
I have a 45 out of 75.
00:37:08
Speaker
So without even hardly trying, she just snatches them from you.
00:37:14
Speaker
Does anything happen?
00:37:16
Speaker
Nope.
00:37:17
Speaker
Sam slips them around her neck and then tucks them into her shirt.
00:37:20
Speaker
So I need...
00:37:24
Speaker
Nick and Matt and Breck.
00:37:28
Speaker
I don't know.
00:37:29
Speaker
Take off your headsets.
00:37:40
Speaker
So as you slip the dog tags over your neck, you are mentally transported far away.
00:37:50
Speaker
And like you just you have a vision is basically what I'm saying.
00:37:55
Speaker
And you see Chris on the battlefield.
00:37:59
Speaker
And you see what he's talking about, this big black shipping container that has a company logo that you've never seen spray painted on the side of it.
00:38:13
Speaker
And as the soldiers are walking up to investigate, the door slams open.
00:38:21
Speaker
And you hear the same scream from inside the storage container that you heard in the theater when the Inside Out Man came out.
00:38:35
Speaker
And for a split second, nothing happens after the scream and then all hell breaks loose.
00:38:43
Speaker
You see inside out men.
00:38:45
Speaker
You see what can only be described as like zombies come out of there.
00:38:51
Speaker
You see big monsters like what you saw at the movie theater and other things that your mind can't even fathom coming out of this container and just laying waste to the soldiers.
00:39:08
Speaker
Just absolutely laying waste.
00:39:10
Speaker
And you're seeing all this from like a first person view.
00:39:14
Speaker
You're seeing all this from like as if you are there.
00:39:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:19
Speaker
And you're raising the gun, you're firing, you're trying to find shelter.
00:39:25
Speaker
You see you run into this building and kind of duck behind, just trying to get to a place where you can reload.
00:39:34
Speaker
And you look down and pull on your dog tags.
00:39:40
Speaker
And you see that they're Chris's dog tags.
00:39:45
Speaker
You are basically embodying Chris right now.
00:39:47
Speaker
And you have no control over anything that's happened.
00:39:49
Speaker
It's almost like you're riding passenger for all this.
00:39:53
Speaker
And you're breathing heavy, just trying to catch your breath.
00:39:55
Speaker
Okay, all right, okay.
00:39:59
Speaker
And you slap the new magazine home, and you turn around, and there are three inside-out men there.
00:40:06
Speaker
And before you can even raise the gun, you are just ripped to shreds.
00:40:12
Speaker
At that, Samantha, basically, like, you feel yourself sucked through a tunnel back to your body.
00:40:21
Speaker
in the in-between back to where you're at.
00:40:24
Speaker
So let me get everybody else there.
00:40:26
Speaker
Unless you have something you want to say about that scene.
00:40:28
Speaker
No, I, no.
00:40:32
Speaker
Okay.
00:40:32
Speaker
Hello.
00:40:44
Speaker
Hello.
00:40:44
Speaker
Oh, we could come back there, a bud.
00:40:46
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:40:48
Speaker
Oh man, I was just about done with my poutine there.
00:40:52
Speaker
Now that is a weird accent.
00:40:58
Speaker
I can't use my nose, so it's hard to do accents.
00:41:01
Speaker
Oh, you could totally do like a meat wad then.
00:41:05
Speaker
I'm sorry, a what?
00:41:07
Speaker
Meat wad.
00:41:08
Speaker
I hate meat wad.
00:41:10
Speaker
Me too.
00:41:11
Speaker
Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
00:41:12
Speaker
Oh.
00:41:16
Speaker
I'm not going to say it.
00:41:17
Speaker
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is great, but it's stupid as shit.
00:41:21
Speaker
I'm not a huge fan of the show.
00:41:25
Speaker
I think I know what you're talking about.
00:41:27
Speaker
And I think I watched like half of an episode and was like, I already have so few brain cells.
00:41:31
Speaker
I can't kill.
00:41:32
Speaker
Oh, that will kill all the brain cells you have.
00:41:35
Speaker
Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:41:37
Speaker
You ever want to be on acid?
00:41:38
Speaker
Don't take the drug.
00:41:39
Speaker
Just watch the show.
Vision of Chris's Death
00:41:40
Speaker
You're fine.
00:41:42
Speaker
You know, it's funny about talking about brain cells dying because every time I think about, ah, yeah, my brain cells are just dying.
00:41:49
Speaker
I think of the quote from Borderlands 2.
00:41:52
Speaker
Every time I hear Claptrap talk, I feel my brain cells committing suicide.
00:41:56
Speaker
And it just makes me chuckle.
00:42:03
Speaker
Oh.
00:42:04
Speaker
Okay, so.
00:42:06
Speaker
Oh, go ahead.
00:42:07
Speaker
I was just about to say, I would love a Claptrap voice mod to play Claptrap in a game.
00:42:12
Speaker
Oh, dude, AI.
00:42:14
Speaker
It's not too far off.
00:42:16
Speaker
That would be good.
00:42:17
Speaker
I could do it.
00:42:20
Speaker
sad and lonely, sad and lonely, lonely and sad.
00:42:26
Speaker
So Samantha slides the dog tags over her neck.
00:42:31
Speaker
You see a thousand yard stare from her for a brief moment and then she snaps back to.
00:42:39
Speaker
As Sam snaps back to, she takes a sharp inhale and immediately just starts crying and drops to her like hands and knees, like trying to catch her breath.
00:42:51
Speaker
Samantha looks down at you and she goes, you saw it too, didn't you?
00:42:57
Speaker
Hey, um, saw what?
00:42:59
Speaker
Explain, please, before I have to hurt somebody.
00:43:05
Speaker
I go and wrap my arm around her shoulder.
00:43:09
Speaker
Sam, you okay?
00:43:12
Speaker
No, I saw him die.
00:43:16
Speaker
I saw it through his eyes.
00:43:20
Speaker
Chris?
00:43:21
Speaker
Yes.
00:43:24
Speaker
He was killed by three of those things.
00:43:28
Speaker
The inside out man?
00:43:29
Speaker
She just nods, unable to really get much more out because she's just trying not to have some sort of panic attack from what she just saw.
00:43:43
Speaker
Sam Squared, Samantha, you saw it too?
00:43:46
Speaker
Just now?
00:43:49
Speaker
I saw it the first time I put the dog tags on.
00:43:52
Speaker
And yeah, she's not wrong.
00:43:55
Speaker
He was killed by three of those things.
00:43:58
Speaker
And that means that somebody in your world has found a way to pull monsters out of here.
00:44:09
Speaker
Ryan, give me the tooth.
00:44:13
Speaker
Uh, is that such a smart idea?
00:44:15
Speaker
Because the last time we handed it to random people, it kind of zapped us all away.
00:44:19
Speaker
And them.
00:44:20
Speaker
Yeah, and she just got dog tags with somebody.
00:44:22
Speaker
We don't know how this tooth might be aligned to somebody, but it might be aligned to somebody.
00:44:27
Speaker
Let me see it.
00:44:30
Speaker
Ryan is going to pull it out and just kind of very hesitantly hand it over.
00:44:36
Speaker
If I break down in tears, you know that something happened.
00:44:40
Speaker
And before you can touch it, he grabs your arm and just is like, just in case you decide to pop out of existence.
00:44:48
Speaker
That's fair.
00:44:51
Speaker
So you'll both pop out of existence.
00:44:52
Speaker
It's fine.
00:44:54
Speaker
Goodbye, everybody.
00:44:55
Speaker
Have fun with the show.
00:44:58
Speaker
So when he does it, I just squeeze it in my hand.
00:45:02
Speaker
God.
00:45:04
Speaker
Nothing happens.
00:45:07
Speaker
I wanted to have that nice long pause in there.
00:45:10
Speaker
I almost considered telling everyone except for Nick to take off your headset to tell him nothing happens.
00:45:15
Speaker
You should have.
00:45:17
Speaker
And then I was like, that's just way too much moving around.
00:45:20
Speaker
All right.
00:45:21
Speaker
Nothing happens.
00:45:24
Speaker
I give it a good like 30 seconds of just holding it.
00:45:26
Speaker
All right.
00:45:28
Speaker
Arthur.
00:45:30
Speaker
And I hold my hand out, fist down towards him.
00:45:35
Speaker
Here you go, man.
00:45:37
Speaker
And I drop it into his hand.
00:45:41
Speaker
As you drop it into Arthur's hand, nothing happens.
00:45:48
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:50
Speaker
What do you want me to do with it?
00:45:53
Speaker
Nothing.
00:45:53
Speaker
I just, I had an idea and I wanted to test it.
00:45:57
Speaker
That's all.
00:45:58
Speaker
So if you won't give it back to Ryan, you can give it back to Ryan.
00:46:01
Speaker
I want to look at, I want to do one little inspection and see if there's anything like maybe cultic sigils or anything on it.
00:46:08
Speaker
Maybe something weird.
00:46:10
Speaker
Ryan, did I tell you back at the movie theater that there was something engraved on the tooth?
00:46:14
Speaker
I honestly cannot remember.
00:46:17
Speaker
No, you said there was nothing on it.
00:46:18
Speaker
It was just a tooth.
00:46:20
Speaker
Okay.
00:46:21
Speaker
That it was like kind of scratched up a little bit, but nothing really on it.
00:46:24
Speaker
Right.
00:46:26
Speaker
Yes.
00:46:27
Speaker
Okay.
00:46:28
Speaker
That's what I thought, but I wanted to be 100% certain.
00:46:30
Speaker
Okay, so yeah, it's just a little scratched up.
00:46:32
Speaker
No sigils or anything on it.
00:46:35
Speaker
I can picture Arthur pulling out like a gem dealer's little eye thing to look close at it.
00:46:41
Speaker
Arthur, that's a tooth-ass tooth, man.
00:46:43
Speaker
I don't think anybody's carving anything on there.
00:46:45
Speaker
This is indeed a tooth-ass tooth.
00:46:51
Speaker
I hand it back to you.
00:46:54
Speaker
And I hand it back to Ryan.
00:46:57
Speaker
Ryan takes it and he kinda looks at it for a second.
00:46:59
Speaker
He looks at Samantha and says, you wanna give it a shot?
00:47:04
Speaker
I'm not touching that.
00:47:05
Speaker
You never know if.
00:47:07
Speaker
I'm not touching that thing again.
00:47:09
Speaker
No, not you, older you.
00:47:13
Speaker
I mean, you said somebody else was zapped out of here?
00:47:18
Speaker
We were in the theater.
00:47:22
Speaker
I believe it was Chris and Elise both touched the tooth, and we haven't seen either of them or Ashley since we got zapped back to the cryptographs.
00:47:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:47:33
Speaker
Yeah, what's the worst that can happen?
00:47:36
Speaker
So she reaches out for the tooth.
00:47:39
Speaker
Ryan is going to do the same thing he did to Ned, grab her arm, and then put the tooth in her hand.
00:47:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:47:46
Speaker
As you put the tooth in her hand, nothing happens.
00:47:50
Speaker
Ryan just looks down at their hands with the tooth in it and goes, well, I mean, it's worth a shot.
00:47:57
Speaker
Right.
00:47:57
Speaker
We can't really rule anything out here right now, so it's worth trying anything.
00:48:02
Speaker
As silly as it might be is holding a tooth.
00:48:05
Speaker
Hey, God.
00:48:06
Speaker
Yes.
00:48:08
Speaker
Ryan is going to move his hand up to older Sam's shoulder and see if he can feel the forgive me knot.
00:48:15
Speaker
You can indeed.
00:48:17
Speaker
When he feels that, he just pats her and takes a step back.
00:48:19
Speaker
It's like, I just had to make sure.
00:48:21
Speaker
After everything we've seen, can't be too careful.
00:48:24
Speaker
Although, I don't want to know how gross that is after five years.
00:48:29
Speaker
Roll me an alertness.
00:48:32
Speaker
Ooh.
00:48:34
Speaker
Because I had this thought earlier and then just forgot to say anything about it.
00:48:38
Speaker
That is a 73 on a 66.
00:48:41
Speaker
I am gonna burn the seven luck.
00:48:47
Speaker
Okay.
00:48:48
Speaker
Burn the seven luck.
00:48:50
Speaker
I don't want to, but I want to.
00:48:53
Speaker
The forget-me-not is different than what you guys have.
00:48:57
Speaker
Hers feels thicker.
00:49:02
Speaker
Almost like after a few years, she's had to replace it.
00:49:06
Speaker
And with her living on a farm, she was able to use the twine from like a bale of hay to make a new one.
00:49:15
Speaker
I just want to say out of character, I can't imagine how bad that chafes.
00:49:19
Speaker
Yeah, that would itch like a motherfucker.
00:49:23
Speaker
It would.
00:49:23
Speaker
Yeah, it would indeed.
00:49:25
Speaker
Can we see that he was checking for that?
00:49:28
Speaker
Yes, but you also see that she has like an undershirt on under her flannel.
00:49:34
Speaker
So you could probably assume that it's over the t-shirt under the flannel.
00:49:40
Speaker
Ryan is just going to stare at older Sam and then just kind of sigh and be like, you kept that on because you thought they might come back, didn't you?
00:49:49
Speaker
Yeah, and I wanted them to know it was me if they did.
00:49:52
Speaker
Well, I mean, we're all a little bit younger and I mean, technically jailbait to you, but you're welcome to join us.
00:50:00
Speaker
You are Sam, kinda.
00:50:04
Speaker
So we might find a different way out that didn't pull you through.
00:50:09
Speaker
She kind of looks at you and smirks and just goes, don't, uh, don't get my hopes up, Ryan.
00:50:15
Speaker
I mean, why not?
00:50:17
Speaker
Like you said, and he spreads his arms apart.
00:50:20
Speaker
What else have you got to lose?
00:50:22
Speaker
Yeah, I guess dying would be better than staying here any longer.
00:50:28
Speaker
Excuse me.
00:50:29
Speaker
I did not say dying.
00:50:31
Speaker
I said escaping.
00:50:33
Speaker
I know you've been here a while, but have a little faith in us.
00:50:36
Speaker
We did it once.
00:50:38
Speaker
Okay.
00:50:39
Speaker
All right.
00:50:39
Speaker
We can, I mean, so long as young Sam over there is all right with me tagging along for a bit.
00:50:49
Speaker
Sam collects herself and kind of sits back on her.
00:50:55
Speaker
She's still on her knees, so she sits back on her heels and stares at older Sam.
00:51:03
Speaker
Anubis is mine.
00:51:04
Speaker
Just throwing that out there.
00:51:05
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:07
Speaker
Ryan is going to lean over and just be like, technically Anubis has been with you.
00:51:11
Speaker
Shut up, Ryan.
00:51:12
Speaker
Just saying.
00:51:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:14
Speaker
My horse.
00:51:15
Speaker
I mean, you and Ashley rode that thing all the time together, so, like, you could both just ride it and everyone's happy.
00:51:20
Speaker
Yay!
00:51:21
Speaker
I don't think you understand the complexity of how weird this is to me.
00:51:28
Speaker
Ryan is gonna crouch down and put his hands on our shoulders and be like...
00:51:33
Speaker
I do, because this last 12 hours has been absolutely fucked, and I just want to go home.
Next Steps & Older Sam's Involvement
00:51:40
Speaker
So anything that gets us there, we're going to do.
00:51:46
Speaker
Samantha walks over right in front of Sam, and she looks down at you with her hand out, kind of expecting you to take it.
00:51:55
Speaker
And before you can take it, she's like, it's like mom always used to say, pick yourself up by your bootstraps, baby girl.
00:52:01
Speaker
We got things to do.
00:52:03
Speaker
Sam will slip her hand hesitantly into older Sam's hand and looks at her and goes, we're not going to have some sort of like weird twin telepathy thing happen if I actually grab your hand, right?
00:52:18
Speaker
Oh, Jesus, I hope not.
00:52:22
Speaker
Because if we do, I'm dropping you straight back on your ass.
00:52:26
Speaker
At that point is when I take my arm off from around Sam's shoulder, just in case.
00:52:32
Speaker
Sam grabs her hand.
00:52:35
Speaker
And she hoists you up to your feet.
00:52:37
Speaker
Nothing happens?
00:52:39
Speaker
Nothing happens.
00:52:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:52:42
Speaker
Raya just cheers and is like, yay, the space-time continuum didn't implode.
00:52:47
Speaker
Yet.
00:52:48
Speaker
I mean, I'm sure Arthur was thinking the same thing.
00:52:50
Speaker
I was sweating balls.
00:52:53
Speaker
I don't think that's how it works here.
00:52:55
Speaker
So are we gonna go to the treehouse then?
00:53:00
Speaker
And see if Ashley and Chris are there?
00:53:03
Speaker
We can.
00:53:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:04
Speaker
Otherwise, the theory I came up with is that it seems like all the points that have stuff like this, any gestures to the barn, seem to be all the places that are important to us.
00:53:16
Speaker
So we can always check out all the other places we've been a lot or are important.
00:53:19
Speaker
That's a good idea.
00:53:20
Speaker
But we should probably get the group back together.
00:53:24
Speaker
I know.
00:53:24
Speaker
I'm just saying, if they're not at the treehouse, we might want to check...
00:53:28
Speaker
the theater incredibly carefully, and maybe other people's houses, the junkyard, the school, something that's connected to all of us.
00:53:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:53:40
Speaker
Good idea.
00:53:43
Speaker
So are you guys thinking about going to the treehouse first or the theater first?
00:53:47
Speaker
I thought we were at the theater.
00:53:51
Speaker
No, you guys are at Samantha's barn.
00:53:53
Speaker
No, we've already been to the theater.
00:53:55
Speaker
I thought it was gone off our map.
00:53:57
Speaker
It is going off your map.
00:53:59
Speaker
And that's all we know about it.
00:54:02
Speaker
Yep.
00:54:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:54:03
Speaker
How many horses do you have, Sam?
00:54:07
Speaker
Well, back home, I have a lot.
00:54:10
Speaker
I don't know how many we have here.
00:54:13
Speaker
Just Anubis here.
00:54:15
Speaker
What happened to the others?
00:54:17
Speaker
Anubis was the only one that came through.
00:54:22
Speaker
So my assumption is that the other ones are still fine,
00:54:27
Speaker
in, you know, the knot in between.
00:54:30
Speaker
Can Anubis pull a cart?
00:54:32
Speaker
And do you have a cart?
00:54:35
Speaker
I mean, the treehouse ain't too far away.
00:54:38
Speaker
Looking at the map, we're close to Ashley's house too.
00:54:42
Speaker
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:54:44
Speaker
You said Anubis came through with you, older Sam, right?
00:54:48
Speaker
No, I said Anubis was the only one to come through.
00:54:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:54:53
Speaker
I didn't see him until we came back here.
00:54:57
Speaker
Okay, just making sure the timeline isn't as weirder than I thought it was.
00:55:02
Speaker
So you guys also came through because of Chris dying and Ashley wanting to see him, right?
00:55:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:15
Speaker
Did a ritual, cast a spell, threw us against a wall, cosplayed an owl.
00:55:20
Speaker
Yeah, hold up.
00:55:25
Speaker
Throwback.
00:55:26
Speaker
I love the cosplay, the owl thing.
00:55:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:55:30
Speaker
All right.
00:55:32
Speaker
Just like you said, making sure there isn't more fucked up than already is.
00:55:37
Speaker
Which is an achievement.
00:55:38
Speaker
I will give you that.
00:55:40
Speaker
So you guys want to go to the tree house, huh?
00:55:42
Speaker
Yeah, we should get there quick.
00:55:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:45
Speaker
You wouldn't happen to have any more shotguns flying around, would you?
00:55:48
Speaker
We kind of got zapped out of all of our equipment.
00:55:54
Speaker
No, I don't.
00:55:54
Speaker
And to be fair, this one's kind of just for show.
00:56:00
Speaker
It doesn't actually work.
00:56:02
Speaker
I'm sorry, how do you scare a monster with a not working shotgun?
00:56:07
Speaker
You'd be surprised.
00:56:09
Speaker
I am surprised.
00:56:11
Speaker
Yeah, a little bit.
00:56:12
Speaker
You know, I am.
00:56:13
Speaker
And that terrifies me because I thought I'd hit that limit already.
00:56:17
Speaker
Do you have a buggy or a cart that one horse can pull?
00:56:25
Speaker
No.
00:56:26
Speaker
Arthur, I think we're just walking.
00:56:27
Speaker
You're going to have to just accept that fact.
00:56:29
Speaker
I hate, I'm so sick of walking.
00:56:34
Speaker
You are a pansy.
00:56:37
Speaker
I'm getting sick and tired of this shit.
00:56:41
Speaker
What do you hate more, Arthur?
00:56:42
Speaker
Walking or dying?
00:56:46
Speaker
Really put me between a rock and a gun in my face, huh?
00:56:51
Speaker
To be fair, Arthur hasn't tried dying yet, so he can't really honestly give you that answer.
00:56:57
Speaker
I think God is trying to tell me you should try dying, Arthur.
00:57:00
Speaker
I don't recommend it myself.
00:57:05
Speaker
And Arthur's hit points hit zero.
00:57:08
Speaker
And Matt...
00:57:11
Speaker
We'll talk about rolling a new character here.
00:57:13
Speaker
You are now old sand.
00:57:14
Speaker
Oh, that's an orc?
00:57:15
Speaker
You are now old sand.
00:57:16
Speaker
Shit.
00:57:18
Speaker
I'm now the horse.
00:57:20
Speaker
You're now the horse.
00:57:23
Speaker
Nay.
00:57:26
Speaker
Okay, so what's the plan here?
00:57:30
Speaker
Where are we going?
00:57:31
Speaker
So, I mean, we could go to the tree house and see what's there now.
00:57:35
Speaker
And they might be the same, or we could just go to Ashley's house, because there's a good chance that if they went somewhere, maybe her and Chris both ended up there.
00:57:43
Speaker
Why don't we try Ashley's house first then?
00:57:46
Speaker
Because I have a feeling if we go to the tree house, something as bad is going to happen, and we're not going to get back out of it.
00:57:56
Speaker
I feel like that's our last place we have to go.
00:57:59
Speaker
Well, older Sam, what do you think?
00:58:02
Speaker
You know this place probably better than we do.
00:58:04
Speaker
Is there an easier route to take to either one of those?
00:58:06
Speaker
Would that be safer?
00:58:10
Speaker
Not really that would be safer.
00:58:11
Speaker
No, you know how close I live to the treehouse and how close I live to Ashley.
00:58:17
Speaker
I mean, Ashley's just down the road, closer into town.
00:58:23
Speaker
tree houses out in the woods.
00:58:25
Speaker
I would say we had to have to watch out for the water tower either way, but in the time that I've been here, it hasn't hurt me at all.
00:58:32
Speaker
And I've crossed its path many times.
00:58:34
Speaker
I vote we go to Ashley's house.
00:58:37
Speaker
Let's go.
00:58:38
Speaker
I can second that.
00:58:40
Speaker
I mean, I'm all for it.
00:58:41
Speaker
We can always hit the tree house after if they're not there.
00:58:43
Speaker
It's not like we can only go one or the other.
00:58:46
Speaker
Exactly.
00:58:47
Speaker
We'll go to Ashley's first.
00:58:49
Speaker
If we're going to be like everyone else, we're going to have years here, so we might as well get used to it and get a lay of the land.
00:58:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:58:59
Speaker
I haven't been to Ashley's house since they left, so yeah.
00:59:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'll go with you guys there.
00:59:06
Speaker
As you guys are coming to terms with the fact that you're going to go to Ashley's house,
Mysterious Warning & Cliffhanger
00:59:11
Speaker
you all get a text message.
00:59:18
Speaker
I was going to say, is anybody going to pull out their phone?
00:59:20
Speaker
I remember we have us roll alertness or something to see if we can hear our phones.
00:59:27
Speaker
I light up my face.
00:59:30
Speaker
I am so tired and sick, I looked at my actual phone for a text message.
00:59:34
Speaker
I didn't know if it was going to be super immersive, so I also looked at my phone.
00:59:43
Speaker
Sam pulls out her phone.
00:59:45
Speaker
So does Ryan.
00:59:46
Speaker
So does Arthur.
00:59:51
Speaker
It's a group chat with the four of you and Ashley.
00:59:54
Speaker
Same group chat that you guys were always a part of.
00:59:58
Speaker
But now there's a number in there you don't recognize.
01:00:02
Speaker
And the text message just says, I wouldn't go there if I were you.
01:00:10
Speaker
And that's where we're going to end the session.
01:00:16
Speaker
Let's Play Pretend is Nick Barnett as Ned Dolaran, Breck Black as Ryan Winchester, Matt Check as Arthur Gooseberg, Melanie Derringer as Samantha Williams, and me, Jordan Derringer, as your GM, DM, handler, keeper, and host.
