Episode Context and Introductions
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey guys, Dakota from the future here. You guys are probably wondering why this isn't the post game show like ah was promised initially. Well, we had some very major changes happen between arc 2 and arc 3.
00:00:15
Speaker
um This recording you're hearing now is that was actually supposed to be the arc was supposed to be arc 3 episode 1. Um, but due to an announcement that you guys are going to hear in the next episode, which will be the post game show, I promise this time, um, we had to move this episode back into arc two.
00:00:37
Speaker
Um, So this is the final finale of Arc 2, I guess. um ah You're gonna hear me reference the fact that this is Arc 3 a couple times. Ignore that. It wasn't until a few, at least i think a few days after this recording and that we realized, oh wait, this recording can't be Arc 3 just yet.
00:00:58
Speaker
So if you're curious why, um now's not the time to explain that. In the post-game show, everything will be explained. Sorry for not being able to be transparent with you right now. It's a pretty major thing that is going to be a major part of the postgame show.
00:01:13
Speaker
So stay tuned for that. um And let us get back into this long episode.
Recap and Arc 2 Summary
00:01:36
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to Paths for Time. My name is Dakota, you p your BM, your GM, your GM, and sitting to my left is somebody who only rolls blue dice.
00:01:47
Speaker
It's me, Evelyn, and that's 100% true. Um, actually, let me roll D100 to see how percent true it is. Um... Get my dice out.
00:02:00
Speaker
Um...
00:02:05
Speaker
Oh, that is four. I rolled a four. So it's 4% true. your on
00:02:15
Speaker
And sitting to my left is someone who's,
00:02:22
Speaker
who exists and not exists at the same time. Good quantum paradoxes. Gotta love those. Yeah. I may or may not be in your walls right now.
00:02:35
Speaker
I am e Eli. Don't look for me. How did you get there? Don't worry about it. It's not important. If you try to find me, I will not be there. If you don't try to find me, I may be there. You'll never know.
00:02:51
Speaker
And sitting across from me... is someone who is currently dealing with a temperature that is just barely too warm to be comfortable wearing a sweatshirt, but too cool to be comfortable not wearing a sweatshirt.
00:03:09
Speaker
I don't know what to do in this scenario. Do I keep a sweatshirt on or take it off? You know I'll just put you extra sweatshirts on. I'll just put three more sweaters on.
00:03:22
Speaker
It's me. so you're Very, very sweaty, comfy, hot Sean. You're shorting shroding or sweatshirt. yeah Right.
00:03:34
Speaker
and And beside me, inside one of the sweatshirts is someone who's eating cereal.
00:03:41
Speaker
add more, but I didn't. Like, I wanted to add more to it, but I couldn't think of anything, so he just... I think that's plenty enough. He's a conjoined between eating cereal.
00:03:51
Speaker
Oh, oh wait, just saying milk is just sweat in my cereal. Ew, Jesus.
00:04:02
Speaker
Um, I am, uh, I am aware that we did not do a recap. We forgot to do a roll for recap last episode. or on the arc to finale, by the way, I kind of took it upon myself to do that by accident last time.
00:04:16
Speaker
No, you told me to roll us in, so I gave us strength, and then we went in. Yeah. Yes, I completely forgot to tell us to roll for a recap, so it's fine. but I think that's because we hadn't recorded in a while as well, or no?
00:04:31
Speaker
I actually have probably... I actually need to close a Spotify. This is the start of a new arc, so we also don't need to roll for recap this episode. You know what we can do? Let's roll in and go in.
00:04:45
Speaker
Well, no, I'm going to give a quick recap of arc 2. Um... Arc 2, man, was long. It feels like it was so long. I... Yeah, that was year-long arc. Yeah.
00:04:53
Speaker
it feels like it was so long i yeah oh yeah those year long arc I'm just going to give a quick recap. I have to pull up the Zencaster because I actually forget what happened in the earlier episodes, so go up the titles.
00:05:09
Speaker
ah Episode 1, 99 Boca McGriddles on the wall. That's right. um So Derek started off, you guys. you guys were tasked with finding these mysterious orbs um and you guys set out to flip um i think you guys were trying to go to volkenberg but walter ended up getting kidnapped by the mob and you guys had to go track him down you guys ended up in hawkeye we found him and found selena abyss and brie who told you
00:05:43
Speaker
she told you guys that they are also looking for these three orbs for a completely separate reason. Um... and It would be kind of weird if Selina was looking for the orbs to bring back Bruce's mom.
00:05:59
Speaker
So, I hope it's a completely separate reason. I too would care about your father for unrelated reasons. Um... What was this about?
00:06:11
Speaker
Making plans that probably won't happen anyway. What? especially Oh, that was probably when you tried to send us on the wild goose chase that we just completely ignored because it made no sense.
Implications of Orbs and Legendary Myths
00:06:23
Speaker
that was Arc 2, Episode 5, Mission Board. Oh, man.
00:06:27
Speaker
Yeah, the crew minus Walter decided to do missions they found on the Mission Board while waiting for Walter arrive at Hawkeye.
00:06:35
Speaker
That's how it's spelled. Why'd you Arnold there for second? The spelling changes every five days. Because that's how it set that's how it's spelled. art and and spell The way I spelled it's H-O-C-K-E-I-O-I-U-I-O-U-I-O-I-E-A.
00:06:51
Speaker
That's spell Hawkeye. Something like that. That is not the correct spelling, but it is a spelling. What about this one? I do have the correct spelling memorized.
00:07:04
Speaker
I actually do have the correct spelling somewhere around here.
00:07:09
Speaker
was it? I put it in one of the episodes. ah Here it is. H-O apostrophe C-K-A-I-E-Y-E-I-A. Is that correct? Apostrophe E. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah, that was great.
00:07:24
Speaker
But in in the same episode, that description
00:07:31
Speaker
spells
00:07:45
Speaker
we're being a dead Rapidash here. Hawkeye. So, um after you guys arrived in that town that we can definitely spell, you What did happen?
00:07:56
Speaker
Guys joined team for Selena. What was this? I broke a chair. Oh, that was the shopping episode. That was in that episode, I think, yeah. The getting big brained and overpowered episode.
00:08:19
Speaker
I'm supposed to be doing the recap. I'm just trying to figure out what the hell these titles are referencing. uh oh yeah you guys uh the mob boss tracked to you guys down and you guys had to fight her um and alfred ended up killing her ah wait what that's a big jump but yes but yes uh you guys yes we went back to gale beach and then that happened
00:08:46
Speaker
Oh, you guys are going to kill Look, this happened like six months ago, okay? ah You guys went back to Gale Beach. Something, something mob tracked you down.
00:09:00
Speaker
Alfred killed the mob boss. That's pretty much it. ah Then you guys were sent back. Why are we going to send back to Vulcanbury? to go find and Blair again. Blair. and another i with ze brown that's it yeah that is yeah zeru no We had three missions. Zekrom, Blair, College.
00:09:23
Speaker
Right. And to clarify things for the audience, Zekrom is a Lucario. No, it's actually Zekrom. In case you're jumping into season three without her in the first two seasons, yes.
00:09:36
Speaker
If Zachrom isn't one of your favorite characters by now, then you've done something wrong while listening to this show. I'll probably see Zachrom again. He's a good man. Yeah, he's the Walter play replacement.
00:09:53
Speaker
Oh yeah, and then you guys had the detect via the murder mystery arc where you guys had to solve the murder... not murder mystery, a bank robbery. That's a different set of episodes.
00:10:05
Speaker
yeah With a different set of people playing. Yes. Why is that not showing up on here? Oh, there it is. Okay, yeah. So you guys did the bank robbery. You guys found... The bank robbery was bullshit.
00:10:25
Speaker
You guys found out that silver is most likely the one that stole from the bank. and Silver broke into Blair's place and stole the copy that you guys had entrusted to Blair to transcribe into English.
00:10:41
Speaker
See, this is what happens when you do paperwork for no reason. You look extra sus when you rob a blank- when you rob the bank. Definitely. You guys found out that the orbs you guys have been seeking for are actual... um ah are actual They're not Pokeballs. want to make that clear. They're not Pokeballs. They're glass spheres meant to contain the power of the gods.
00:11:04
Speaker
But they contain the gods themselves. The gods are in the orbs. Totally different from Pokeball. Totally different. Totally different. It's a glass sphere. There's no opening. I mean, I guess you could shatter it, but I feel like that'd be the end of the world.
00:11:18
Speaker
It's the Fenton Thermist of Pokemon. Also, the biggest... Yeah, also, like, the most... This was, like, peak dramatic irony. Because we all know who those gods are and our characters don't know.
00:11:32
Speaker
Yeah, I know, right? So, um... Someone let slip to Miss flynnot flame right Flame Black... Black. Ooh, that's cool.
00:11:45
Speaker
I was gonna not say that, but that's fine. Miss Flame Black, that you guys do not, in fact, have the real orb. You guys found out that Um, way back when, when Walter swapped up the orbs, uh, by accident, um, you did not affect that. see the DM still saying Walter when the god spiked it out of his hands.
00:12:07
Speaker
was wondering who was going to mention that. Um... So it turns out that when you guys were back there in the... I'm pretty sure was in the basement of the Flameback Resilient.
00:12:18
Speaker
You guys tossed away what you... That was actually in the dining room still. don't think it was. No, it was not the dining room. was the basement. yeah No, it was the basement.
00:12:30
Speaker
We went in after the battle. Because you guys threw what you thought was the fake orb away and it rolled into the corner. I think that was two different instances. What you guys are thinking of the dining room is when Miss Flameback had you guys sit down explain. That's when Miss Flameback gave us orb.
00:12:48
Speaker
Gave us the orb, yes. and In the dining room, she gave us the orb. When we departed with the orb is when we were in the basement during the boss fight. Yes. yes So you guys found out that that was in fact the real orb that you guys threw away. And since um since then, Alfred has cleaned the basement and has thrown away a literal god.
00:13:08
Speaker
So you guys... Or at least, that's what Bruce knows. The rest of the party does not know that, because that would have been a phone call away from the group. Excuse me. I also want to point out, one thing I do want mention, is that Miss Flameback has not yet been made aware that the copy of your, of the Hitchhiker's Go... Not the Hitchhiker's Go... What was the book called?
00:13:32
Speaker
The... The LGM's Guide to the lg got no Galaxy. Yeah, there we go. The copy of LGM's Guide to the Galaxy that you guys have been carrying around with you has been stolen and is in the hands of a mysterious group that calls themselves the Silver Cult.
00:13:50
Speaker
I mean, we don't know that yet. You do know that. No, we don't. Uh... Blair didn't tell us what the person looked like. She just said they got robbed. No, yeah she did. She said it was a green espion.
00:14:03
Speaker
Oh, did Yeah, she said it was a green espion. Uh... Dang. yeah co You should have kept it ambiguous. It would have been cooler that way. Ah. i don't want to make it too confusing night for you guys. You guys just had an entire bank robbery or...
00:14:17
Speaker
But, uh, yeah, so, um, you guys know that Silver is now on the run, and you guys have the option to track down the Blue Orb, or track down Silver.
00:14:30
Speaker
can So, we finally have ourselves somewhat of bad to, uh, an antagonist. But the most important thing happened is Sammy's ice cream art came to a close. Not entirely. I still have things planned for you.
00:14:44
Speaker
ah But yeah, Sammy did find out what ice cream is. It came to a resolution. He finally found out what ice cream was. and Now you just need to introduce it and capitalize on it.
00:14:59
Speaker
Okay. what i do um ah Because you've run a restaurant. you're supposed to be.
00:15:07
Speaker
I saw you put in the Discord line. But, yeah, so i a I think that's pretty much everything off the top of my head.
00:15:23
Speaker
ah Do you guys have anything else to add? Nope.
00:15:28
Speaker
Okay. I thought Walter told us something. and no Veronica has a new boyfriend. Sorry, fiance. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Veronica and... We found out that Walter has two crappy parents.
00:15:43
Speaker
Yeah. was Was Jeremy in the murder mystery with the rest of the Gravel Rocks?
00:15:50
Speaker
Uh, no, there was there was a Midnight Lycan rock that was Wes and Smith that you guys apprehended, but that is not the same. like a rock but you But he wasn't at the the the the mansion?
00:16:04
Speaker
Oh, the murder mystery. No. um When I came up with that, I haven't i hadn't yet decided what to get what the actual members of the Gravel Rocks were. other than Veronica. He's that new where he wasn't even at the concert.
00:16:17
Speaker
so um the The last episode, we did um Bruce did tell us that the orb was cleaned out. He said Alfred kind of cleaned up the basement and he ain't finding no orb no more.
00:16:30
Speaker
Oh, right. Sounds like he said he ain't find no orb no more. That's right. He ain't find no orb no more.
00:16:43
Speaker
Alright, I got the move for you. Move on in. Okay, cool. Give us our move, and we will move on in. Is move our move?
00:16:55
Speaker
Alright, let's growl on in.
00:17:00
Speaker
What's with the trend of boring moves? Last time we had strength, now we got to growl. That's the best way to start the new season. Let's just growl. Wow. Growl on in. So what happens when we get scratched? You gonna say, to scratch is boring move?
00:17:18
Speaker
Yes. Well, actually, no. Nodscratch is a really hard move. It is. Nodscratch is gonna have a word with you. I gotta look up what that rule is. I think it's like rule D100. If you roll of 1, the universe ends or something like that.
00:17:30
Speaker
Something like that. What? Something like that. I mean, world go boom, world end. Kind of the same thing. Jake, if you... How much of Nodscratch have you listened to?
00:17:42
Speaker
ha ha. Oh, aren't we supposed to be getting to the episode? Yes, yes we are. Alright, let us growl on in.
Mysteries of the Stolen Book and Cult Activities
00:17:53
Speaker
So, we are going to leave off right where we left the scene. um Bruce is outside, I think you're outside Blair, the Arc Run library, and everyone else is inside talking to Blair.
00:18:06
Speaker
No, I had just come in and told everyone that. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. So, alright, so you told them that they... Okay, gotcha. The orb is gone.
00:18:19
Speaker
Um... Should we call the... Should we go tell the police who the... Who did it? Did it? So they could put wanted posters out for her Did what?
00:18:31
Speaker
The orb? Yeah. Silver. Silver. uh... Oh, then... We may get the reward. Yeah, might get the reward because we figured out who did it.
00:18:43
Speaker
I don't think we can necessarily prove that, though. We don't have any proof.
00:18:50
Speaker
Well, we do because the cultist, whatever, the Leafeon, said something about Silver and a cult right before she... Those are two similar things that we can't quite connect without more proof. That could be circumstantial.
00:19:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:09
Speaker
We might as well at least try. feel like we would need physical proof that we could present to the police to be like, the green thing is in charge the... Well, the police were there when... Exactly. Well, that's the thing. The police were there. They haven't done about it then. Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing.
00:19:26
Speaker
They could still put out wanted posters just for wanting to question with them.
00:19:31
Speaker
Walter's got a point. They still put wanted posters so they could still grab her. Just for questioning. yes to And besides, they let terrorism in this town. I don't think they care about what's illegal or not.
00:19:47
Speaker
You know, Valkenburg is really weird.
00:19:51
Speaker
I don't think they care about due process. Blair, how have you lived here for so long in this freaking town? Like, we we we blew up a neighborhood, and they're like, yeah, that thank you for doing that. Shh, shh. We did not. That was not us. That was a wrong... I didn't say we. I said someone did.
00:20:07
Speaker
Whatever. As Walter packs away the TNT, he still has like, oh, whoops. It's good. Whoops. And at that moment, Sammy throws up a button.
00:20:21
Speaker
but that is pun
00:20:26
Speaker
He just coughed it up a little bit. Excuse me. I had something real spicy for lunch. ah
00:20:33
Speaker
At this point, I just do wires. and um I had a lot of ice cream, and that's probably why I'm all rashy, because i ah turns out i'm not it turns out I'm allergic to ice cream. I finally figured out what it was, by the way. but But, yeah.
00:20:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:48
Speaker
Your guys' GBAs goes off, all of you guys. You guys get a text message from m Flameback. Oh, Blair, excuse us. We got to answer our... Never mind.
00:20:59
Speaker
And you guys look at it, and it's it's a question. Ms. Flameback is asking, how much of the book is deciphered?
00:21:10
Speaker
It was like 80 90%, right? No. 80, 90% of the... No, only like the first chapter, right? It was not much. So, here's the thing. um What is deciphered is...
00:21:24
Speaker
I gotta choose my words carefully here. What I have deciphered is pretty much everything that um the book is able to share with you guys.
00:21:35
Speaker
But in technicality, no, the entire book is not deciphered, only a couple pages. Well, but... a chapter... she was working on it for like three days.
00:21:46
Speaker
Two and a half, really. Yeah, it was at the end of the three days that it got stolen, so it should have been like 90% done. We'll call it 90% though. Sure, it was only the two pages that you guys read, but um we'll go ahead and say that. I feel like the way I interpreted it was she had um done a lot of the book, but the book was stolen, so these are the pages she had left.
00:22:10
Speaker
I feel like that's how I gathered it. ah No, that's everything that she transcribed. it's The book itself is gone. No, it's not. We have the book. the copy of the book is gone they have the copy sorry yeah sorry the copy of the book is done yes oh okay so the copy that we gave her the copy that she's copied from the copy she has wow this is confusing yeah so we have the translated copy the copy of the copy that is currently in the flameback basement
00:22:44
Speaker
was stolen. untranslated copy was stolen. Let's be honest, we're making a big deal about the books being gone. Are we really sure she can even translate without, without, um, Abyss? Not Abyss, um.
00:22:57
Speaker
Blair. Blair! I was thinking of the person who made the character.
00:23:04
Speaker
That wasn't Abyss who made the character either, but okay, doesn't matter. Shut up. Shut up. Blair being the one who translated it, who else would... Wait, what are you asking about?
00:23:16
Speaker
What's the question here? If the Scylla or the Espeon would be able to translate it. So she took the mean, if she's cult leader, she might have a lot of people to do it for her. What does she need the book for? That's the big question mark. Cult leader probably summoning something evil.
00:23:35
Speaker
Considering one of the orbs is Giratina, probably nothing good. So like, I have faint memories of being in a cult town and something about something, something, something. There was a Giratina there.
00:23:47
Speaker
ah This might have been a dream. I don't know. um remember having a really annoying voice. I just want to flag that in character we do not know who Giratina is. As like PTT canon our characters. Also, I was possessed the entire episode, so I don't know who Girogina is.
00:24:04
Speaker
That was a non-canon episode. Did we not have history classes? About like myths and stuff? Not about God, not about this stuff. Would we know their names though?
00:24:18
Speaker
Separation of church and state. Maybe mythology class. Yeah, that's good question. Because like, Not a Scratch did start with the the fifth grade class getting told about the history of the universe and name dropping legendaries.
00:24:36
Speaker
Sorry, that was the sixth grade class, you missed out. So I feel like the way we've been describing it so far is you guys know of the main legendaries, not like Tabu Koko or...
00:24:48
Speaker
Oh, some of the minor legendaries. could me But you guys believe them to be just like stories.
00:24:55
Speaker
So we know of Dialga, Pelkey, and Giratina, just didn't know that they existed until now. No one believed they existed. yeah Right. Sure.
00:25:06
Speaker
yeah I have a fun question. yeah like This is definitely out of character. Are all three of their origin form forms, like would that would that have been covered in the in the stories? Yeah. Um, I i don't... Me, Dakota doesn't know anything about the origin forms of them, so no.
00:25:25
Speaker
You would definitely know Geratina's if you... Yeah. You know Geratina's origin form. You don't know Pelkey and Dialga's origin form, probably. Do I? It came out in Platinum, if you know anything. Yeah, if you did Pokemon Platinum at all, you know origins of the origin Or been alive in the last 20 years.
00:25:47
Speaker
That's just cursed. That's a cursed image.
00:25:51
Speaker
Oh, I didn't realize that was a separate form. yes Yeah, I didn't realize that was a separate form. Never mind. Let's get back. But yeah, you guys know the basics.
00:26:04
Speaker
Yeah. I have another question. glad that we're back in problem-solving mode. Like an actual world-building question. Does this world have churches? If there are these gods that would have um stories told about them.
00:26:18
Speaker
I'm gonna say no. um If there are. Because I'm equating to these legendaries as if it's like a Norse mythology, basically. Or a Greek mythology or something.
00:26:32
Speaker
Like 99.99%.
00:26:36
Speaker
Yes, but not... Yeah, but that was like just for the purpose of the story. um but like in world yeah but they've had like temples and stuff yeah so my question is i'm equating to stuff i am equating this to like norris mythology or greek mythology how many churches in america do you know that dedicate themselves to norris or greek mythology Because that's kind of where I'm at. These are just myths, stories.
00:27:03
Speaker
So it's not like people are actively worshipping them. Unless you're like a cult, I guess. So you're making it sound like nobody's worshipping anything, which is not... Yes, because there's... Yes, because no god has ever been seen in the Outcast region. That's how everything is. Okay, no god has been seen in...
00:27:23
Speaker
I just like imagine if you know imagine if like the pay like the pagan gods had stayed You know had like stayed the main gods in Europe like what would what would like Europe look like now?
00:27:35
Speaker
I don't know what the pig Christianity had never displaced it right right oh the Greek gods or the Norse gods oh was it called pagan thought pagan was like satanism or something no no pagan is just like anything but christianity yeah really like oh yes well anyway my answer is the i'm equating i've always equated these to like just some kind of mythology so i'm gonna say no there's no dedicated churches i don't know i just find that really hard to believe that there's nobody worshiping anything that's just kind of
00:28:10
Speaker
If anything, it'd probably look down to Bon like you're crazy, they'd probably just do it in secret. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah, that could be. But ah you guys' is but Mr. Plainback is awaiting you guys' response.
00:28:23
Speaker
Oh, shoot. What did she say? I forgot. She asked how much of it was deciphered. Two pages. Six percent. It was about 90% done. We didn't read much more.
00:28:36
Speaker
ah We didn't read much of it. Is Bruce just sending that back in the group text? Sure. Yeah.
00:28:45
Speaker
So, Ms. Flameback takes a few seconds and she's like, okay, so the, so yeah, she sends back text. She's like, all right, um so Blair de-severed the whole thing then. Great.
00:28:57
Speaker
um What does it say? Oh, by the way, someone stole the copy of the book. Are you sending that as a text? i Are you texting that? Yeah. Yeah. Bruce is that. Wait, what? Is Walter actually sending that in text?
00:29:16
Speaker
He's like slowly typing it. He's just pronounced like, cause he's not he's got he's not great at typing. He does not have fingers. He's like, one not good fingers. He's like, bye, bye, bye.
00:29:31
Speaker
yeah first census i know, I'm just saying, he's no, he's just not a great at texting. He's not a great texter. Okay, so Bruce is gonna be like, I'll bet Walter Ixnay on that. I was gonna tell her that in person when we get there. Why? I wanna point out, it's a GBA. See, it's like an Xbox keyboard. You have to like manually move over and select. Like typing in with the DPAG? Yeah, typing in with the DPAG. I got rid of texting. Oh my.
00:29:58
Speaker
um esp Oh, jeez.
00:30:04
Speaker
Just like using the internet browser. It's like the old text boxes in the Gen 2 games. God, I missed the PSP. That was so good. So, why don't I text her this? She could at least get ready.
00:30:16
Speaker
Yeah, i think you should I think you should text her about this before... The fact that we lost this, Walter. Do want her to blow up before we get there? but Yes, so we're not in the crossfire.
00:30:29
Speaker
at least, well, it's gonna take us 12 hours to get back home anyway, so at least you can take the half day to plan something by the time we get there.
Bank Robbery and Returning Home
00:30:36
Speaker
Yeah, you got good point. Go ahead. By the way someone took the copy of to the copy of, oh, misspelled, cook, a copy of the book. Okay. it's Okay. Is Bruce sending a text as well?
00:31:07
Speaker
sending a text as well Yeah, so Phil let Walter send that and then Bruce is going to say yeah it was some shiny espion named Silver that stole it.
00:31:21
Speaker
I'm pretty sure the Charmander...
00:31:27
Speaker
I'm pretty sure the Charmander was in on it. As you're sending this text, your phone is ringing. we all start ringing up i I hit ignore. All of us?
00:31:40
Speaker
ignore. So Sammy ignores. What are you guys? okay I don't see the point everyone answering if it's just going to hologram up. Is this just a Jedi holocom?
00:31:53
Speaker
Yeah, basically. is kind of what a yeah That's kind of what I based it off. It was like the blue holograms from Star Wars. But ah yeah, so another hologram of Yeah, it blue for some reason.
00:32:05
Speaker
A hologram of Miss Flameback pops up and she's like, You guys just told me you didn't have the orb. Now you're telling me you don't have the book either? The copy of the book, you the real copy is safe.
00:32:18
Speaker
Mrs. F, you have the book. No, no, no, you guys said Cleverette. Did you guys lose the translation? or no no happy ocean now we No, we lost the copy. We didn't lose it, someone took it.
00:32:29
Speaker
do We lost the one that you gave us. Yeah, they took the untranslated version. We have the translated version. Okay. Who took the book? Wait, I have a question. Are we still inside next to Blair? Who's green?
00:32:46
Speaker
Yes, Blair is there.
00:32:50
Speaker
um And Miss Flameback's like, okay, I don't know who Miss Silver is, but um ah what did you guys find out from the book if you guys have a translation?
00:33:01
Speaker
somebody just Someone just walk over to a Blair. someone just walk her well Just bring Blair into frame and have her talk to her. Blair's already in the frame. You guys are still in front of Blair. And Blair knows what the translation was.
00:33:14
Speaker
Blair, can you just explain to to Bruce's mom here what you figured out? Uh, I mean, sure. Uh, oh, Kikaru has the papers. Um... well Can I see the papers real quick?
00:33:27
Speaker
I'll just read them off. Hikaru hands them to her. I'm pretty sure you guys know each other because like Mrs. F sent us here to talk to you once, I think. i don't know. you might adam't ah well I'm a friend of, what's his face, the professor from Gale Beach.
00:33:42
Speaker
orange specify Mr. yes but He also has enough in his name, so that's probably why I got confused. So she reads off the pages and explains about the whole how she found out that it was a copy thing.
00:33:55
Speaker
And yeah, she reads off all all the pages that I read in the finale last season. So when she concludes, Miss Flanblack's like, my god.
00:34:09
Speaker
And that's what we lost? We lost a god? like and Yeah, she threw away a god. okay We didn't lose a god. You did. You had Alfred clean the basement. If anyone, it's kind of on you.
00:34:26
Speaker
She starts pacing back and forth at this point. She's like, okay, cool. And this silver person has the untranslated version. So it's only a matter of time before they find someone to translate it as Also, and then she's a cult leader. Oh, great!
00:34:42
Speaker
oh what great That makes things so much better! What the cult could do is they could go back to the college that we went to and talk to that big sweaty guy.
00:34:51
Speaker
What? The professor we talked to once. Remember we told you about him?
00:34:59
Speaker
Did you say Mr. Sweaty? Farnsworth. He was all sweaty. He didn't know who he was. he he had a bad memory. Did mean Professor Farnsworth? Oh, Professor Farnsworth. Yeah, I know him. Kara, are you okay over there?
00:35:14
Speaker
Am I okay? I mean, we've just, like... I mean, I just i just watched a Leafeon pop a cyanide pill, and now, like... And now we just, like, lost a god? I mean... Miss Flavax just looks fucking pale. She's like, what the fuck are you guys talking about? So you remember the bank robbery in the newspaper a couple weeks ago?
00:35:42
Speaker
We kind of solved that too, and there was this Leafeon that was running a meth lab that was also working for the Espeon, and Leafeon made some knockout gas so the Espeon could steal something from the bank that she ran for some reason.
00:35:59
Speaker
Still haven't really figured out what the deal with that was, but... We have a theory that what they stole was another orb. That's a theory that the Bank Rami had an orb involved.
00:36:11
Speaker
I was gonna ask why you guys were even getting involved with it, but if you think it's an orb and there's a lead on that, I can see that. i'll be I'll be honest with you, I really don't know why we was involved with it. We was just outside of- Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
00:36:27
Speaker
what i was gonna tell her was we got off the train and we was and but ambushed by this green thing i said my bank was robb and have no idea why we got involved This green thing?
00:36:38
Speaker
What's that green thing? The espion. The espion. Wait, when were we ambushed? Because she knew the, uh, she knew Selena.
00:36:50
Speaker
She knew Selena. She had us do a goose... Hold Silver had us on a goose chase.
00:37:02
Speaker
Go on. What do you mean?
00:37:05
Speaker
Oh, thought it wasn't Silva the one who told us about the bank robbery? Yeah, right. walk do She is you told us, hey, my bank's been robbed. And the cops were there with her. So the cops were like, come on, come check this out. And I said, well, you got to pay us. And he said, we're not going to pay it. Whatever.
00:37:20
Speaker
So she basically just distracted us while she took the orb. So my main concern right now is Blair, she says looking at Blair, you read what was translated, right?
00:37:32
Speaker
Uh, yeah? Yeah, Ed, you guys missed Flavax. Okay, okay, so you know what we're after then, right? Yeah, I mean, it sounds like you guys are looking for some pretty spicy stuff.
00:37:51
Speaker
Miss Flame Black. Nope, not like that. That that kind of spicy. no Blair looks at you is like, shut off.
00:38:00
Speaker
ah Miss Flame Black puts her fingers on her nose like, okay, cool. So now we got to drag Blair into this as well. why don't Why don't you all come over to the Flame Black... Fuck, now just saying to you.
00:38:15
Speaker
The Flame Black residence and we can... Do an indoctrination, I guess. Get you- Don't- Don't- Don't with this whole drag and blair into this. You're the one that told us to come to blair to get a book translator. You said not to go to the college, you said go to blair.
00:38:32
Speaker
Yeah, well I didn't think it would be this insane.
00:38:38
Speaker
Blair pipes up, uh, but what what about my library? Ms. Flame Black's like, look, I can arrange for someone to take care of your library. like I got money, it's fine.
00:38:50
Speaker
i mean, we can leave a bit and brief here. I can make where your library don't exist anymore. Slowly pulls out one TNT, like, is that where we're going? No, no, alright, alright.
00:39:02
Speaker
It's like, i'm never going to able have that fun with this. So, Blair's like looking around the library, like, really sad. But she also looks down at the papers and she understands that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that she's never going to get to experience again.
00:39:19
Speaker
And we got we got we got two other four-legged dark types who could watch out over it. Just, you know, it's very very similar to you, actually. Except, you know, they're a different color. They're white. They're whatever. That's not... Well... By the way, um Where's our Glacian friend?
00:39:35
Speaker
They're standing up the side. like they always I thought you guys were like dating or something. Aren't you supposed to keep a track of her? Why does she need to be watched over though? Because she keeps leaving us. We're not really watching her. She was at a rave a few seconds. She was at a rave for no reason. She went to the mall without us. She didn't even bring me a pretzel. yeah We really haven't been watching her.
00:39:58
Speaker
Oh, but I thought you said... Oh, Sammy, I thought you said you wanted the other two, like the two Umbryons, to watch over Blair. No, not Blair, the library. yeah yeah doesn the They can watch the library?
00:40:13
Speaker
they don't do anything anyway um ah Abyss and Bri pipe up this point. Well, Abyss does. He's like, ah I am not going to be some library keeper. as If Cillian is going to off exploring and shit, I'm not going to... He is talking to the hologram at this point. I'm not going to sit back and be some library keeper.
00:40:32
Speaker
You can hire someone else. You're supposed to sit back anyway to get some money, but you decided not to. Abyss, I still don't really know what you do. like you You never really like explained your history with her. You're just like, we know her, and then that was really it.
00:40:46
Speaker
Well, I guess you could say have more or less her bodyguard than anything else.
00:40:52
Speaker
He likes to slide his people i just made a quick tell
00:41:00
Speaker
I just made a quick intelligence check and Hikaru does not have any ideas for who should watch over the library. miss flame God, I can't stop saying... Ms. Flameback is like, look, I can hire someone...
00:41:14
Speaker
It doesn't have to be any of you guys. I can just literally go on forever and hire someone to look over at the library, okay? It's not that big of a deal. i understand... What about our Sakram? He's a good dude.
00:41:28
Speaker
Sakram already has a job. I can't ask him to take two jobs.
00:41:33
Speaker
and He was running a bar for like 48 hours straight, so... looks Probably wouldn't be too bad for him. And she's like, you know it knows we' but i have a I have a great idea should watch over this place.
00:41:52
Speaker
Hikaru? The Octillery.
00:41:56
Speaker
living What? He needs a new place! Vickers the Octillery. Who? The Explosive Guy. The Explosive Man.
00:42:07
Speaker
No, her dad's supposed to be finding him home. No, need him watching over this library.
00:42:13
Speaker
Uh, Blair looks at Ms. Flynn, but she's like, as long as I can, as long as I agree with you who's gonna look over the library, I don't, I don't want it getting hurt. Me and my parents have spent our whole lives getting this library stocked up. Wait, I want to say something, we all forgot about this.
00:42:32
Speaker
We never looked what happened to Barry. You know you're not wrong. Barry and the Applin. That we never looked what happened to him. Like he wasn't at his stand. He's always supposed to be there. He wasn't there. Was he is was he her lookout?
00:42:48
Speaker
Dude, that's a great idea. Oh my gosh. It's possible. What if we talked to was in on that bank robbery? I think that was in Walter's very much doubt that. That would be like Murder on the Orient Express.
00:43:04
Speaker
That was such a good thing. It would be. Is that in this library? Can I get that book? Blair, did you know the book that you lent me out? Do you know that the book you lent me out has like, has had like two pages in it?
00:43:16
Speaker
oh oh that ice cream one? Yeah, that was kind of funny. and Fuck you. I didn't appreciate that. So, uh, yeah, Blair's like, I'm not, I'm not renting books out right now because I'm going to be closing the library temporarily, I'd probably be able accept returns.
00:43:36
Speaker
What about Front Doorfish? We do know Front Doorfish. Yeah, but, I mean, you're... You're... you Your door is shattered. I mean... Oh, he can't work here because there's no door.
00:43:53
Speaker
There's no front door. There's one weakness. We might need to get that life we money need to get this place renovated before we can you know reopen reopen it to the public. I'm just playing black. like i'll I'll take care of it. It's fine.
00:44:08
Speaker
I just want a tech company. I've literally made of money. well look if any wing thats an a tech company i've literally made of money Um, we I say we can come back after we visit the police station to give them what they probably should be looking out for. Maybe a missing persons on Barry and a wanted poster saying Silver wanted for questioning. yeah Okay.
00:44:34
Speaker
You guys said that at the same time. That weird. Okay. ah Miss Flameback's like, okay, can you guys be back like tomorrow morning? It's like a 12 hour train ride.
00:44:46
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's why I said that. So yeah, we we can be back in like 15 hours probably. Okay, cool. I'll see you guys later. guess there's a little bit to walk across town to go to the police people's.
00:45:02
Speaker
you Hey, okay. New arc, new train explosion. Pulls out TNT. more trees i just want to point out, Walder's basically walking onto a train with a suicide vest basically.
00:45:17
Speaker
Okay. sorryca It's a good thing there's no security in those train stations. Yeah, TSA, not TCA.
00:45:28
Speaker
There's no, i ain't saying the joke yet. You guys are heading to the de police station then. Yes, just to give statements about, hey, Silver probably probably has it.
00:45:41
Speaker
Not enough proof, but good enough to get questioning. And and Barry the Applin is missing. Could be connected or could just be missing. i do want to know if they finally moved Chai the Leafeon's body. Because she was still there when we left.
00:45:54
Speaker
so... Okay, so you guys are leaving then, right? okay so you guys are leaving that right yeah As you guys are leaving, you guys pass, but you can clearly see is a maintenance worker, and you see on his name Pegasus Jerry, and he is a Riolu.

00:47:48
Speaker

00:48:50
Speaker
It takes you guys a bit to get there, but as you get there, you see Front Door Fish is once again at the receptionist desk. And, uh, yeah.
00:49:06
Speaker
one Hey, man.
00:49:10
Speaker
Hey, uh, where's, um, the police officer guy at? Uh, oh, Bill? Uh, he's in the back, I think. Do you want me to go down? need to talk to him before we leave. Yeah, can you? Yeah, yeah.
00:49:23
Speaker
Yeah, I'll be right back. And he waddles off to fetch Bill. couple minutes pass, and Bill the Arcanine, the Arcane Canine, comes out, and he's like, uh, hey, guys.
00:49:34
Speaker
Um... Do you need something? What's up?
00:49:42
Speaker
Oh, um, we wanted to let you know that, um, whip for you may want to put out a Wanted for Questioning Silver.
00:49:51
Speaker
In the very good friend of ours very the athlete has my mission so we just want to let you know because I'm where Confidence she's the one who broke in the bank and she broke into a business house right here She broke in the house and stole something that belonged to us that we let it that we had a business hold on this is house you mean blair's right Blair sorry, I keep saying a bit. So Okay, the library real quick. Okay. Well her house attached to the library.
00:50:16
Speaker
Oh
00:50:19
Speaker
Do you guys want to explain everything, or do you just want to give her... I handed my blues clues. I'd like to skip this cutscene. Skip cutscene, please. Yes, yes. yeah yeah Hold X, skip cutscene. Okay.
00:50:30
Speaker
Cutscene skipped. but Bill looks at the notes, and he's like, hmm, I see, I see. Okay. i There's... You don't really have any concrete evidence that Silver is the one who stole from the bank.
00:50:42
Speaker
I can't convict based on this. The courts wouldn't accept it, but... I can definitely put... You guys can fill out some missing persons reports and I'll put in a request for an interrogation.
00:50:57
Speaker
Is that much can... So... Are we gonna get reward for how much information we've gotten you? Like any? I'll give you guys a partial reward. You guys didn't apprehend the criminal so I can't give you a full reward for that. Well, we couldn't because we were given a list the size of this entire town when they had nothing to do with it.
00:51:18
Speaker
Well, that's the list we had. I don't know to tell you. It's not like I can pick and choose. Yeah, and we probably made a lot of enemies doing that. By the way, if you get a report about someone impersonating a cop, don't bother.
00:51:34
Speaker
Who? Who's impersonating a cop? No why It's just people speaking out of air. They're lying because they knew they were guilty. What? what What? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We'll take the reward.
00:51:48
Speaker
Well, he hands you two missing persons forms. If you'll fill these out, I'll submit them and get some posters put out. Hey, Billiam, did you restart the ice cream in your freezer? ah ah Oh, yeah, right. Billiam, Jesus. ah Yes.
00:52:04
Speaker
Someone came out, cleaned out her ice cream. kind of weird. Front door fish here says it was one of you guys. Is that true?
00:52:15
Speaker
No. Oh, okay. Well, I'll find out who did that, because that was a lot of ice cream. That was expensive, so I'll figure out who did that. And I'll go back on that. I write the missing person notes.
00:52:27
Speaker
Buried Applin. He's always outside the bank. more quote, the reason for thinking he's missing, he was not outside the bank the day we saw him. he He went to do his own thing once.
00:52:42
Speaker
he went to get He went to get more more things to sell for his stand.
00:52:53
Speaker
Alright, and he takes the posters from from you and he's like, alright, I'll get to submitted. And he shuffles off to the back And he comes back out with 500 Poke for each of you.
00:53:07
Speaker
So everyone add 500 Poke. This is your guys' reward for a um the work you guys did. um And it's not the full, I think it was, what, five? That wasn't a piece, I think I said, for each one? don't remember.
00:53:23
Speaker
but Yeah. Something like that. You said 500? Yeah. Yeah, 500, but for information leading to the capture of whoever did the bank robbery, it sure is seeming like silver is, but the courts won't accept.
00:53:40
Speaker
Are we not getting any reward for... We did 500 each. 500 each. Well, are we not getting any reward for bringing in Chai? Because we did... Yeah, he's a co-conspirator and a meth dealer.
00:53:54
Speaker
What he said... Uh, you know what? Yeah, roll persuasion. Um, can we get an advantage since we'll all help you? I am good with persuasion.
00:54:06
Speaker
Why do we need to roll? We did that. We really did that. Yeah, but he never promises anything. Bill is seeing this as that is the reward um for that. Oh, for everything? Plus eight?
00:54:21
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I got a 13 15.
00:54:25
Speaker
I'll take it. So Bruce is like, you know what? Fair enough. That was a pretty big thing. yeah just Just give me a second. And he shuffles on towards the back end. It comes out 500 more poke for everyone.
00:54:37
Speaker
Nice. I think that's a fair day. You said it's still 500? I'll take that. A thousand total. A thousand total. A thousand total. Okay. Gotcha. Okay. 21 grand and 918. Okay.
00:54:52
Speaker
Alright, if you guys have any more information or if you guys figure out who did this, let me know and I'll have the rest of that reward for you. By the way, i think I figured out why I had so much money. i'm pretty sure I took all the money for the Lycanroc escapee. I took it all and said i was going to share and forgot to. Oh, wait.
00:55:14
Speaker
Well, with the thousand, we just got a higher 26,559.
00:55:20
Speaker
Oh, never mind. the Did we all get money for this? Yes. We all get a thousand bucks. We all just got a thousand. Okay, we all got five thousand. great One thousand, not five thousand. One thousand.
00:55:32
Speaker
Yeah. We're all getting one thousand first for Chai? Yes. Yes. For it all. One thousand in total. everything and then For what we contributed to this case, we got a thousand poke. Okay.
00:55:43
Speaker
So Chai and the tip, one thousand total. Yes. yeah And the investigation, we did all that work too. Alright. I hand in my missing post is like, alright, we should catch a train.
00:55:56
Speaker
but but wait, like I just got a question for everybody. We haven't done this in a while, and after hearing what Sammy just said about money, should we shop?
00:56:10
Speaker
What we need? I still got a bunch of revivers. I'm just saying. I don't think we need anything. I'm just saying. Should we shop for anything? don't know. I'm just saying. I mean, Walter, if you want to go buy some clothes, not going to be bad. I don't think so. I think we should probably get on the train, get headed home.
Train Ride Antics and Reflection
00:56:29
Speaker
It's probably pretty urgent that we get back there. right, right. I mean, I still got the Boka McGriddles if we're hungry. We gotta pay for train tickets anyway. oh yeah, because train tickets are so expensive, Walton.
00:56:45
Speaker
um mean I mean, had to pay for them all last time. Well, that that was not last time. That was like a week ago. Shut up.
00:56:53
Speaker
You never let things go. That was a few months ago.
00:56:58
Speaker
Anyway, I'm sorry. The train station is only a few minutes walk forward, you guys are I think. i remember If I remember things right don't remember.
00:57:09
Speaker
Anyway, yeah train station is not too far away. It's about evening time when you guys arrive at the train station. And... What?
00:57:20
Speaker
ah Huh? What?
00:57:27
Speaker
I'm sorry, I said, Shatumbu, why'd you write the sexy episode?
00:57:34
Speaker
I'm confused. That's usually the only context I see that that phrase use. Oh, ara ara? Yeah. Oh, I see. Yeah, it can mean that like like in anime. like Like one of the characters would be add da i like, oh, but like, but in, in a lot of cases, it's just like, oh my, or like, oh my gosh.
00:57:58
Speaker
Or like, what kind of anime are you watching?
00:58:03
Speaker
What? I'm not- wait, I don't say don't watch that much anime. Let's move on from this topic, please. Yep, okay, time to move on. We're, uh, getting on the train. We're pushing our limits pretty hard right now. Okay, let me create a kite so that way that can be for Patreon only. Okay.
00:58:23
Speaker
You guys, uh, arrive... You guys eventually arrive at- Wait, before we move on. Coin Watcher. I want to activate Coin Watcher on that IQ skill for that money that we got.
00:58:39
Speaker
Explain to me about Coin Watchers and everyone who has it, let me know because it is compatible. have Coin Watcher too. So we rolled Q. Success, earned Poké times 1.5, mixed is times 1.2. Gotcha.
00:58:53
Speaker
And there's two skills. I do not have Coin Watcher. So yeah, it's an IQ skill. Not 20!
00:59:01
Speaker
Okay, I'm gonna count that as a times two. ah
00:59:06
Speaker
So I get an extra thousand. 12 plus minus one is 11, so another... No, Jake, just about to add money when we hadn't even finished calculations yet. Sorry. Yeah, so another 1.2 times for mine as well.
00:59:26
Speaker
Yeah, okay. So that is 2,000... 2.2 times. So everyone gets to add what you already have, add an extra
00:59:41
Speaker
So plus 100 and then... Wait. 1,000 plus how much? 1,400. You should have added 2,400. sorry you' got all so plus hundred and then wait one thousand plus how much one thousand four hundred you should have added two thousand to four hundred Total. got it Okay.
00:59:59
Speaker
Wait, so what's the 1400 coming from? Coin Watcher. Coin Watcher. Oh. Yeah, the IQ skill, Coin Watcher. Coming in clutch.
01:00:11
Speaker
Yeah. okay yeah but so Yeah, but youton didn't you say it was like if either 50% 1.2? Yeah, got nat 20. 1.5 or 1.2. yeah i got now twenty um one point five or one point two Yeah, 1.5.
01:00:23
Speaker
So like 1.5 times extra? I got a net 20, so I got two times. Yeah, it's not actually written in the IQ skill, but it kind of makes sense that net 20 is two times.
01:00:38
Speaker
Oh, but then that's 100. That's 1,000 plus. Wait, but I don't have Coin Watcher at all. Should i add the money? Yes, it's party-wide. It's a party-wide skill.
01:00:50
Speaker
okay.
01:00:53
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Now that thought we got this figured out, you guys- Just like the Walters thing where we get extra experience from Walter, we get extra money from that.
01:01:04
Speaker
You guys arrive at the train station. um You guys go down a couple of stairs and you guys arrive at the ticket booth. Okay. Where to?
01:01:17
Speaker
Sorry, there's so many stairs in this frickin train station. It takes me so long to get down there. ah You went down. Can you? Yes,
01:01:30

01:01:54
Speaker
80 poke? That's such weird number to minus. Yeah. Wait, there's like 7 of us and it was 80? That's a weird number. 80 each. Oh, 80 each. It's 10 apiece.
01:02:09
Speaker
Oh, okay, so yeah. Oh, 10 apiece. All right. Yeah, yeah we're we're doing this separately. Yes, everyone subtract 10. That makes way more sense. That's nothing.
01:02:21
Speaker
Wow. Before you guys subtract 10, why don't we get a why don't we get like a cabin in the train?
01:02:29
Speaker
What are you talking about? yeah Wait, are we going to be doing that anyways? We're basically going to be taking up a whole train car. yeah We just yeah pick a train car. I think what we should do is pull our money together and buy a house when we get back to Gale Beach.

01:06:14
Speaker
Do I do it? or like one of the grab i thought it'd be like impulse to punch someone. That is up to you. Dex Walter. Overwhelming impulse to just punch something. Specifically the middle core in the middle.
01:06:26
Speaker
If it's up to me, I'm going to do it. because like why would We've been doing this for a while. Let's just do let's start something. okay Roll strength.
01:06:35
Speaker
Nat one breaks hand. 8 1 is 9.
01:06:42
Speaker
eight plus one is nine Okay, you bend to the metal pole of your punch and it hurts your hand a lot. And you are not sure why you did this. Ow.
01:06:53
Speaker
Walter laughs. yeah Sammy, are you okay? He's over here shaking his hand. I don't really know why I did that, but like I just had the most overwhelming urge to punch this beam.
01:07:09
Speaker
You call that a punch? Hey. san side Stand aside, stand aside. Hold Walter, no. He like does the little thing where you like rub your fist on your palm like...
01:07:21
Speaker
If no one stops him, he's just punching it. Yeah. i'm I'm nursing my two-day job. Walter, no. Bad idea. Yeah, he's like, is that what you call a punch? Okay, so Walter's punching the pole too.
01:07:35
Speaker
Wait. What? Can you guys hear me? Yes. Yeah, I can hear you. Okay.
01:07:42
Speaker
so Are you saying no, Walter, bad idea? is it a bad idea? That's destruction of public property, Walter. Yeah, I don't think we should be punching trains today. So we're drawing a line up there? We're drawing a line there?
01:07:59
Speaker
is that our line? Drawing what line? On our list of felonies. Of what we're okay to do and not okay to do. What? Punching trains is not fair way. mean, I don't, I don't, frankly, I don't think everything we've been doing is okay.
01:08:14
Speaker
Oh, it's not been. so Yeah. Yeah. Well, okay. Are you really going to get on me for destroying property? Well, to please sit down. It's not like I was, it's not like I wanted to do it or I felt like I had to do it. I just felt like I had to do it. Like if something overwhelmed me and I just punched the damn thing, don't know what's going on.
01:08:33
Speaker
It seems like every time we get on a train, I have some kind of urge to do some kind of violent act here. Hey, Sammy, Timmy, he like, he puts his hand over his like neck. I just want to let you know, punch isn't effective. You do know what I have the goods, right? What?
01:08:50
Speaker
Walter, feel like you're not taking me seriously here. Slowly, he looks around, looks around for like, no one's there. He's like, I got the tea. Like, boom, boom. Walter, I feel like you're not taking me seriously here, and I kind of really need some support, and this is not helping.
01:09:05
Speaker
Is it like the door thing with me? Is it trains? Kinda like that, yeah. I don't know what's going on. Oh, then I got you, brother. I got you. I'll take you to therapy. and I've been there, buddy. Come here. come Come on.

phrased that wrong. We don't serve alcoholics?
01:11:01

01:12:01
Speaker
That's something to give you like a, oh, never mind. You said you don't serve it in here anyway.
01:12:07
Speaker
joke is that Manhattan is not the place in this world.
01:12:13
Speaker
Can I get a Gale Beach? Can I get a Gale Beach? No, we're going Gale Beach. certainly, certainly. Nancy Hanzel, an alcohol-free Manhattan. It's just called the Gale Beach. since As soon he walks away, Walter just throws out the window like, no alcohol.
01:12:30
Speaker
I said it was alcohol-free, but okay. I know, he's saying there's no alcohol. He doesn't want it. Oh. He's still going to pay for the price.
01:12:42
Speaker
You pay for the train, I pay for everything here. It is getting dark outside. if you guys wish, you can sleep the rest of the time away.
01:12:52
Speaker
Yeah, I think I could use some sleep. Walter's first time having actually good sleep on a train. Are we gonna roll for sleep? No, that was stupid last time. I don't know why did that.
01:13:04
Speaker
So... Yeah, you guys just fall asleep and you guys awake to ah the intercom going bing bong. Gale Beach arriving at Gale Beach.
01:13:18
Speaker
And you guys oh sweet get up. Yes, that's our stop. Yeah look, Sammy actually hasn't drank any of his berry juice. He's just, it's just been kind of set aside under the table.
01:13:31
Speaker
He's waking up from the ping-pong ping-pong. Sammy are you just, um, you are you just motion sickness all the time? Is that it?
01:13:41
Speaker
don't really know. you got Healy, so that can't be it. Yeah, no, that's that's a good point. think I think I'll take this berry juice to go.
01:13:50
Speaker
Alright, guys, he huddles up. Yeah, Sammy, whatever you need to do to care to take care of yourself. Walter whispers to, like, Bruce and Hikaru, He didn't drink anything. He didn't eat.
01:14:07
Speaker
He's dying. dying. I've never seen it. I've seen it be cardboard. No, you're right.
01:14:20
Speaker
something you is dying He's got the devil in him! He usually eats.
01:14:29
Speaker
Oh yeah.
01:14:32
Speaker
Wait, soon as we walk off, he just c chugs it? Is that it? as soon as he one step off the train, he's like, oh, I'm going to feel I had the idea. As soon as I stepped off the train, i was going to eat a bunch of Boca McGriddles. I thought I thought. They're like three week old Boca McGriddles.
01:14:49
Speaker
Ugh.
01:14:51
Speaker
You may to find your own munchlax. Hikaru takes her snack- her- Hikaru takes her stack of 99 Boca McGriddles and finally throws it in the garbage can. they just molding it? Oh no.
01:15:06
Speaker
Yes, you feel your spirits lift as you get rid of like 300 pounds of moldy Boca burgers. She just has a visible aura of good vibes coming off of her.
01:15:18
Speaker
She's just got stink lines coming off of her. Walter's been having to hold his nose every time he's around the car, which is because of those burgers. i mean, we all had those burgers in our bags. Except for Not me, I got rid of them all. That's true.
01:15:34
Speaker
thats true yourself i'll it rid I'll eat my remaining burgers. ah very You eat 55 pounds of food as soon as you get off the train. There you go. Each burger's a pound. Unique, moldy taste.
01:15:48
Speaker
I don't know. I'll take that out simplicity, for sure. Quarter pounder. At this point, it's probably easier to quantify it in gallons and pounds, but sure.
01:16:00
Speaker
I feel like eat them all. I feel like we forgot that we got them at the beginning of Arc 2. I feel like we were thinking they were like two arcs old and and not only one. right You guys technically in real time, you guys got these a year ago.
01:16:16
Speaker
Yeah. Like in real life time. It's been
Arrival and Project Flameback Introduction
01:16:19
Speaker
a year you guys got those. It's like one Krabby Patty scene when it starts. Why does it indicate, sir? It barked at me. It barked at me. So, alright.
01:16:30
Speaker
so all alright So you guys are in the train station. do you guys want to do anything in the interim or do you want to fast travel right to the Flambeck residence? Let's go right back to the house. yeah It is a nice sunny day outside. The weather is amazing.
01:16:47
Speaker
And everything seems wonderful and hunky-dory. Alright, something bad about to happen. And you guys get to the Flameback residence and everyone's dead! you guys just see wall outside.
01:17:05
Speaker
Bruce just goes and temper flares like the entire town. there's that were the keys. Bruce is a arsonist after what he did to Walter.
01:17:17
Speaker
Everyone's dead. Well, everyone else is going to die now. ye you can't beat him, join him. Oh, he won't beat you. Yeah, Arabella's outside playing with a ball.
01:17:30
Speaker
And Miss Flameback is sitting in a rocking chair outside on the porch. She sees you guys arrive and she's like, Oh, oh, Arabella, they're here! And they both rush up to greet you. Oh, hi, Arabella. How have you been doing?
01:17:45
Speaker
hi there. Um, well, you guys been gone for like three whole days. Where'd you guys go? I just had some business to take care of in Valkenburg.
01:17:58
Speaker
Well, now you can finish teaching teaching me how to use fire moves. I've been practicing, but still not very good about it. oh Yeah, we can definitely have practice some more later.
01:18:11
Speaker
Miss Flame Black's like, uh, Arabella, can you, uh, let us talk for a minute? Uh, I need discuss some things. And Arabella's like, alright, I'll, uh, I'll go back and, play with my ball some more.
01:18:21
Speaker
And she goes, kicks the ball across the yard and hits Alfred in the head. I'm shorter than you should have. Gosh darn it.
01:18:32
Speaker
I just looked at the hydro kick. I'm way shorter.
01:18:37
Speaker
Miss Flame Black is like, uh, hi, player. Um... Well, I'm... I don't remember if Blair knows who Miss Flameback is. I know she knows who, um... mr think she only knows her by name.
01:18:51
Speaker
Okay. I'm gonna say she's never met her. No, she knows Mr. Dr. Sumo. That sounds about right.
01:19:00
Speaker
For Arndorf, that's it. So, Miss Flameback, um... Just just allows. I, uh, also had the, uh... I wanted to share your guys' his input on this, but I also called Veronica and I guess, do you guys know this Jeremy person that she's been hanging out with?
01:19:20
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Is that who that was? She's like a nice guy. didn't really get to talk to him when he we saw him at the police station. you I guess that's probably that guy.
01:19:33
Speaker
Though I do want to ski so you want to see Veronica because I want to get ah her autograph and maybe a selfie with her because I just started listening to her music. It's really banging. Uh, roll perception, somebody.
01:19:44
Speaker
actually have Walter roll perception. good up but it wasn't me I knew this day was too happy. i knew something was going to come screwed up. I'm getting out of four.
01:19:57
Speaker
You said you got a four? Yep. Okay, you don't notice anything. I just really hope you would, but that's fine. Um... So you can see Veronica and Jeremy is hanging out.
01:20:11
Speaker
Jeremy is smoking a blunt because of course he is. And he waves at Walter.
01:20:20
Speaker
He is, um imagine a werewolf smoking a blunt.
01:20:26
Speaker
Do we all say damage? He awkwardly waves back? No, he's friendly waving back. but No, I'm awkwardly like, what do I do in this situation?
01:20:39
Speaker
a You're cool, but I hate my mom.
01:20:43
Speaker
Dang. Wow. So, Ms. Flameback, like, what was the sound of whisper to you guys? I don't, I want to hear your guys' input on this, but we kind of have to ah bring Blair into this whole thing. I was thinking of maybe bringing...
01:21:00
Speaker
Veronica in on it as well, but I want to hear guys' thoughts. What happened to this just being us? Ugh. Well... Yeah, she stands back up. Yeah, it's supposed to be like the kids saving the day.
01:21:10
Speaker
you know? Classic tv trope. You guys are adults. What are you talking about? No, we're relatively young. We're still a young teenagers. young adults. I haven't been a kid in 15 years. You haven't been a kid in like three weeks.
01:21:25
Speaker
you haven't been a kid like three weeks Sammy, you are still a kid. Okay, I wish you guys could see that face I made that I could, if I could translate it to Sammy, it would be like fists on hips, shorts, looking up at Bruce even though he's taller than Bruce.
01:21:47
Speaker
yeah ah like Guys with a clown, he's like... out jumps and kba kimbo No, like the the angry child thing. The hands on hips.
01:22:00
Speaker
Arms akimbo. What is that supposed to mean? What he said. is' like Arms on the fists. Arms on the fists. a Sorry, when I hear akimbo, I think dual wielding. Sounds like you're saying dual wielding arms.
01:22:16
Speaker
I think of that Daniel Radcliffe movie Guns Akimbo, where he the guns screwed to his hands. Yeah, that's... Akimbo, I fucking love that movie. It's so good.
01:22:29
Speaker
But, uh, yeah, Miss Flameback's like, yeah, I think we should discuss this, ah but, uh... She's... God's... Look, she's been hanging around a lot, and I... Hey, Mrs. F, did you ever, like, get her a new place to stay? Like, she doesn't have a house since she's been crashing here. nancy see that's the No, that's the thing. She basically lives here now, and with everybody...
01:22:51
Speaker
Except Arabella, Veronica, and Jeremy, I guess now Jeremy. like If they're going to be hanging around like permanently, I don't know how long we can keep this from them. I really don't want to get Arabella involved. That might be a bit of an issue, but...
01:23:08
Speaker
She does have some potential be useful. She's a famous singer. thought you meant Arabella has potential. air No, Arabella's useless. Hold the phone, guys.
01:23:22
Speaker
How did Veronica and the new guy get here so fast? Did they take the same train as us? I contacted them the same time you did. You guys fixed you guys were said you were running some errands beforehand. They arrived like a train before you guys, yeah.
01:23:38
Speaker
The phone has been put back.
01:23:41
Speaker
Wait, they had Poke... I didn't know they had... GPs too.
01:23:48
Speaker
Uh... They got sent a letter from... The Amulga. The Amulga got there before got a message? Flying types are fast? I don't know.
01:24:01
Speaker
flying types are
01:24:04
Speaker
faster than we are. She is a flying and an electric type. Electric types do be speedy. we did We did say that before. I guess, but i thought... Man, she flew back there and flew back here. She's got incredible stamina.
01:24:19
Speaker
Hikaru slightly smiles when Sammy says that about electric types being fast.
01:24:27
Speaker
Okay. um So... Yeah, i Miss Fain Blacksicle, what are your guys' thoughts? Should we?
01:24:37
Speaker
I mean, what are they- yeah do they have like a reason to want to be with us? Not particularly other than convenience. And feel like I can trust them enough to not.
01:24:50
Speaker
I mean, what if we just empty my way to score to go get milk? Like, we need more milk for our cereal. You know, the kids are home. We gotta have cereal in the morning. Let's just get more milk. I say we just take a vote.
01:25:01
Speaker
Yeah, but what can they contribute to the mission? Nothing. Besides giving us a good soundtrack to play against.
01:25:09
Speaker
No, while they're famous, so they can rally people if we need a common cause from the people. Or they can get us into places that Bruce's famousness won't get into. mean, yeah, but why do we need publicity?
01:25:20
Speaker
I don't know. Let's say maybe, I don't know, we need to search for somebody. We can say, everyone at my concert, we are looking for this person. and so So we just kind of set up a concert everywhere we go?
01:25:35
Speaker
just I mean, that's a neat idea. Also, we're bit building a big crowd, and they're going bring, even though they're popular, even when they're so popular, that they're going to be more a hindrance because of how many people are going to come up to them.
01:25:51
Speaker
i mean, I already don't want to throw Selena around um everywhere, so... Oh, I was actually going to... get a as That's another thing I wanted to talk to you guys about while you were here. I have a solution for Do you remember when I first introduced the project Flameback, I mentioned that we had some living quarters in the basement from the previous team that was here.
01:26:15
Speaker
Yeah. We have enough that people can just live here out of the basement. um
Ethical Dilemmas and Guild Dynamics
01:26:22
Speaker
All of us?

01:26:44
Speaker
Never too early. was going i was goingnna suggest you guys come stay with us, she says, looking at the UV illusions and Blair. And can explain everything.
01:26:58
Speaker
Uh, that's why it's... It's not like you can't visit it every so often. I think you might be more inclined, Blair, if you hear what this project is.
01:27:11
Speaker
Blair's like, well, I mean, um I'll listen, I guess.
01:27:17
Speaker
But, uh, what's this about? Living quarters? of basement? What? What? This feedback's like... Let's decide on if Veronica's gonna be there, so I don't have to vote twice.
01:27:28
Speaker
It's a really cool basement. I love it. I say we take a vote.
01:27:37
Speaker
So, we'll start off... Start off with you, Bruce. Let's go down the... line of what some would call the Discord. The Discord.
01:27:50
Speaker
yeah so i i personally I'm kind of against it along with, like, I know what was said before about like it trying to keep it as small as possible.
01:28:05
Speaker
Droop here doing these things. It's probably best to keep it small if we can. Could we yeah i mean not bring in Veronica but bring in the dude? Yeah, the dude.
01:28:21
Speaker
the I don't think that's gonna work, Walter. We'll have try. Walter, why are you talking to him talking about your mom when like, by her first name?
01:28:34
Speaker
Rather not speak of her. You know what, fair enough. of We're not on speaking terms. We're not on speaking terms. Oh no.
01:28:46
Speaker
Oh no.
01:28:50
Speaker
Anyway. Hey, Kari, what's your vote? My vote? Oh, um, I mean, i I'm not sure, because, like, like, if they were hanging out, if, like, would they just be hanging out the house, or would they be following us around, or?
01:29:11
Speaker
Primarily, they'd be staying here with us, working for us. I have some ideas yeah trying to for those who are going to be staying with us. ah Yeah, basically, so my... Okay, so here's the idea I have.
01:29:24
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, if you... Sorry, Mrs. Flamebeck, if you trust them, then I trust them. I trust you i trust i trust your judgment here. So, I don't know if this is going to change your mind or anything. And this is me, Dakota, going to go into speaking above table.
01:29:41
Speaker
This is how this is going to work from now on. um What's going to happen is at least Selina, Abyss, and Bree are already indoctrinated. What's gonna happen is you guys have the ability to recruit people to Project Flameback.
01:29:55
Speaker
This is our guild. This is how recruitment of the law starts. We're just we're recruiting new members. Oh my gosh. This is how we're doing recruitment stuff. so i doing all good but Do we all get golden eyes next?
01:30:11
Speaker
So, what this is how this is going to work. Let me explain. Project Flameback is now officially a guild. You guys have the ability to recruit people to Project Flameback, and they can reside at Project Flameback in the... re in the And the more people will we recruit, the better our progress is going to be. so We're going to shove them all in the basement, then.
01:30:34
Speaker
so So, the way this works is for each person that you guys can in indoctrinate into Project Flameback. They have certain resources they can provide to the project.
01:30:50
Speaker
And you would die are learners so your guys you guys... Well, if you indoctrinate him, you would know. But you guys haven't, so you don't know. um ah doesn' Until you do, ah you guys just have to go for what you already know. So what you guys can do is you guys can assign roles...
01:31:10
Speaker
to each person in your guild to do something for you. You can send them out on tasks. You can send them out on missions. You can send them out to do... You cool can just send them out... You can send them out to do missions on the mission board to make money for you.
01:31:24
Speaker
Do we get the experience? so here You guys would get the money, not the experience. ah So, the way... What I have written written down right now is Selena's resource is quote-unquote dirty.
01:31:39
Speaker
Abyss's resource is Bodyguard. Bree's resource is Moneymaker. So she would do, like, mission board stuff. I have, for Ms. Flameback, I have written down Leader slash Police Ties.
01:31:55
Speaker
Alfred is also Dirty Work and Police Ties. Mafia family. Ooh. Because she's already influencing the police side stuff. So, everyone you indoctrinate into your new guild, which you guys are now the guild leaders.
01:32:10
Speaker
Technically, Mr. Manbeck is the leader, but you guys are in charge of the story, so, you know. and Can we just say how it is? She's a crime family boss. I like this. She's not a crime boss. But yes, this is now your guys' guild to shape how you want.
01:32:26
Speaker
And the more people you indoctrinate in it the more people you can send out to do tasks and stuff. So, with this information, let's do you guys want to bring in Veronica?
01:32:41
Speaker
Approved. Then yes. You have my vote. yeah stick I vote yes. Sure. If this is going to work with recruitment, then sure. Okay, so, I have something you guys. Walter's still I would say yes, but Walter's still a no. only does this influence Walter's decision, he does not want to be...
01:33:01
Speaker
Okay, so, um let's get everyone down to the basement and I will go from there. Everyone, everyone? and she' Everyone, except Arabella. She's playing her ball. leave her be ah Miss Flameback's all this. Walter will go play with her.
01:33:15
Speaker
She'll play. Alright, I'm gonna hang with Jeremy. We're gonna go down. Yeah, Miss Flameback is like, Veronica, Jeremy, can you guys follow me? i have something we need to talk about.
01:33:27
Speaker
And they start following Miss Flameback as she heads towards the back garden.
01:33:32
Speaker
She pulls down on the fake tomato berry that opens up the hatch into the basement. We skip cuts in again. Skip cuts in. You guys are down in the basement and everyone is standing in a line in front of Ms. Flameback.
01:33:49
Speaker
Ms. Flameback's like, okay, so I know you guys are probably, well Specifically, you and you, she says, I think this is what I want say.
01:34:05
Speaker
And Jeremy, this is Project Flameback. What we have going on here is, you guys know that my husband went missing about eight years ago, right?
01:34:16
Speaker
Well, we have spent um the last while trying to find out where he is. And it turns out we don't know where he is. So she pull gestures to the big screen at the end. by the way This is also just refresher for everyone as to what Project Flameback is.
01:34:33
Speaker
She gestures to the big screen at the end of the at the end of the room with a big flashing light. This is Mr. Flameback. We are trying to find him. He is still alive. However, we don't know where she is So we are trying to find these three orbs.
01:34:50
Speaker
She holds up a picture of the three orbs on a piece of paper. And i'm just using d three orbs. Yeah, she threw like three circles. We are going to try and track down Mr. Flameback. And try and bring him back from wherever he is.
01:35:07
Speaker
So, we need your guys' help. And... Veronica cuts Mr. Playing back off. So this is, so and she looks at Walter. This is what you've been doing under my nose. Walter's not there.
01:35:23
Speaker
He's out playing You mean Walter's not there. I said I'm playing ball. He's out playing ball the girl. I said Walter was playing ball with the horse, the girl. All right. Veronica, you're up for while. Here's her name.
01:35:34
Speaker
curves this adada again and slaps her face. Walter did not want to be in the room with his mom right now. Face palms. He's playing ball with Airda. So is this what Walter's been doing?
01:35:49
Speaker
Is this why he's been a hitman? Why he's been dealing with dead bodies and stuff? Well, I mean, part of that's kind of... yeah Part of that is Glaceon's over here's fault.
01:36:00
Speaker
Hey, what's in my fault? The hitman is the Glaceon's fault. but The body is Not he did Mostly unrelated to this. And Selena's like, what do you mean? but What's my fault?
01:36:14
Speaker
I didn't you send him out to do a hit list, or i didn't kill anyone. You kidnapped him, though. He with you at the time that he was a hitman, so we'll him on you. Veronica's like, you're the one who kidnapped my son? shit. The point that he is is who tortured him.
01:36:35
Speaker
Hey, you're not here, Walter. I I'm just saying is shaking her head I'm sorry. I'm sorry? My bad. That's on me.
01:36:51
Speaker
Veronica's like, okay, so you kidnapped my son and how the hell are you out adventuring with him now? What the hell happened? oh they were They almost did it for a little bit there.
01:37:04
Speaker
What? What is going on? There was it was a little bit of a romantic tension between the two. i I could see it, I think.
01:37:17
Speaker
i want someone to roll perception. Oh, damn it. I'll do it. I don't want that to be released. Nat 20. Okay!
01:37:30
Speaker
So you can see two things. One, Selina looks extremely embarrassed and is looking at Abyss. Abyss looks fucking pissed. Oh no, they they're dating, aren't they? Uh-oh.
01:37:52
Speaker
Oh no, they're dating. Selina, you got some splainin' to do. Abyss is giving Selina the look like we're gonna talk later. you know Can't blame Walker for this, he didn't know there was a thing going on between them.
01:38:06
Speaker
So... Abyss... er, not Abyss, sorry. Veronica's like... WHAT?!
01:38:15
Speaker
Ugh! Okay, look, look. Okay, all you're not gonna do any shit like that again, are you? And you can see Jeremy's like trying to stop Veronica. Like, ah hey, tone her down a bit, man. Like, geez.
01:38:33
Speaker
Veronica shakes off Jeremy. Look, this woman stole my son.
01:38:43
Speaker
And now that I'm so confused. Have you ever heard of Stockholm Syndrome?
01:38:53
Speaker
Come on. Someone save him for you, Ben and him already. Someone bring up. Someone to be older. I just had to do it. I'm sorry.
01:39:07
Speaker
So, Miss Flameback is like, uh, let's do this later. Can i ah real quick, I would like to offer you guys I can explain to you those who haven't heard it already in more detail in a bit, but I would like to ask you guys if you want to participate in this project, you guys have a place to stay here.
01:39:32
Speaker
And she gestures towards the living quarters in the um the door at the side of the room, which by the way, the door is closed. You can't see through it. um And you guys can stay here. And
01:39:47
Speaker
I work with us. Um, I have more details for you before you fully make a decision, but I highly suggest you stay because if you guys don't, I'm gonna have to change your guys' memories.
01:40:01
Speaker
Uh, and Varaga's like, what do you mean you have to change our memories? Well, this isn't something I can let out, so if you guys agree, you're If you guys agree, obviously I'm not doing anything like that.
01:40:19
Speaker
But I can't let this information just get out there, so... Yeah. Veronica. Okay. Mrs. Flameback, but if it's such big secret like this, why did you suggest making whole lot of publicity earlier?
01:40:33
Speaker
if it's if it's such a if it's such a big secret like this why why did you suggest like why did you suggest like making a whole lot of publicity earlier I ah never said we had to go into detail about everything that's going on.
01:40:48
Speaker
We're missing the orbs, right? So that means Veronica can help us by You said it was a shiny Espeon that you guys were looking for, right? By playing concerts and just sing...
01:41:06
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, we were looking for a shiny Espeon. As I say, if you guys are looking for a shiny Aspeon, then I'm sure Veronica wouldn't mind mentioning it at one of her concerts or something.
01:41:18
Speaker
Getting the idea out of the public eye isn't such a bad idea. Not like, oh look, we're looking for an orb, or this shiny Aspeon has had to do with a cult or something like that. but I, uh... Oh, it's just an idea.
01:41:34
Speaker
but I, Here. Um... here um She so she ah reaches in from like her pockets or something and pulls out a bunch of badges.
01:41:46
Speaker
She hands them out to everyone except for Blair, Veronica, and Jeremy. She's like, allah if you guys agree, I'll give you guys the badges.
01:41:58
Speaker
To everyone else, these are the Project Flameback badges. They are... okay You are able to recruit people and send them to...
01:42:14
Speaker
I really hope that wasn't from this episode, dude.
01:42:19
Speaker
No. From the last one. From the finale. yeah and Okay. I really hope... You're
Strategic Planning and Reflection
01:42:29
Speaker
so little. bit It was just Walter. I have two dead parents i have two parents dead to me now
01:42:38
Speaker
last episode. So Ms. Flanbeck holds up the badges and she says, these badges give you the ability to recruit anyone you want into our little guild here.
01:42:48
Speaker
You can use them to teleport them back here. Although I would suggest you talk to me before you start sending random people into my home. So um yeah, and she starts handing out badges to everyone except those that I mentioned already.
01:43:08
Speaker
So, you know, we were ski we were just working with the police and now we're actual police, guys. Look, we got badges.
01:43:15
Speaker
Well, kind of. Police? No, we're not. We're not. We're not police. Not really police, but, you know, i mean. Who else carries badges? It feels official, though.
01:43:27
Speaker
yeah we do i do feel very official. Can these badges also send criminals to jail cells? Wait, can these badges send us here? Can can I just, feel like, zap it at Bruce and he gets sent here? Bruce, stand over there.
01:43:40
Speaker
Okay, you're gonna try and zap Bruce with the badge? Yes. Okay, you zap Bruce with the badge and he gets teleported like three feet to his a left.
01:43:51
Speaker
Yeah! Okay, so you probably like not do that frequently. so you guys have found out... No, no, now we sound like it's fast travel. We can come back here quicker.
01:44:05
Speaker
it There's an easier way to do Just push the button in the middle to help put you to the base. I was going to turn it back and do like a selfie, but that works. Yeah, yeah that makes a lot more sense. It's like a selfie camera. So yeah, you guys now have Flameback badges.
01:44:23
Speaker
They are silver badges with a flame in the middle and the letters F, P. Sorry, P, F. Project Flameback. Oh, I know.
01:44:36
Speaker
And Walter's missing a lot. So... yeah Yes, you guys know. Walter's just gonna get the goodie bag after we one after we leave. up to walter yeah We're gonna give him ah we're gonna give the goodie bag version. Here you go Here's everything you missed.
01:44:52
Speaker
Okay, so, um, yes Miss, Miss Flambeck, uh, gestures towards the, uh, towards Blair, um, Veronica and Jeremy's like, if you don't mind, I'd like to have a word with you guys to explain things further.
01:45:05
Speaker
And she takes them over to the living quarters on the side of the room.
01:45:10
Speaker
And c Selena, Biss, and Bree also follow.
01:45:15
Speaker
Um, not because they need to discuss anything, but just to take out the living quarters. So you guys are now NPC free. You can send all your NPCs back to the guild. Hooray.
01:45:26
Speaker
and don't have to drag them from sling up Bazaar anymore. Alright, now that we got badges and we have we talked to Mrs. Bruce's moms and we and we got this cool new feature about teleporting peoples, let's go to my house and get some ice cream to celebrate.
01:45:44
Speaker
Go long! so you know, we just playing football out here now. Okay. um So you guys are going over to Sammy's Pepperoni's Pizzeria. Geez, I can never get that right.
01:46:00
Speaker
Are we... Do you guys tell Walter or do you guys just leave him? I'm just going to walk past him. To that side.
01:46:09
Speaker
I figure it's like... like
01:46:15
Speaker
Bruce on the way up the stairs is probably going to talk to Ticaro Hey, uh, Do you want to give Walter his badge and bring him up to speed?
01:46:27
Speaker
Oh, where was Walter? Sorry, above board. Where was Walter's badge? Walter was over. He was playing ball with Arabella while we went down. Oh, he was? We were playing catch. He didn't want to be with Veronica a room with her.
01:46:42
Speaker
Yes, but Bruce doesn't know that. Yeah, i should I should talk to Walter. I'm gonna say we must play back to you guys an extra batch for Falter. ah Basically, um I kind of wish I had more time for because I kind of sped through things.
01:46:58
Speaker
But yeah, you guys basically did everything you guys needed to do there. If you guys want, you guys can discuss the orbs and stuff with this flameback. It's the only other thing I can think of that I didn't have time for.
01:47:10
Speaker
But we'll probably that in our next episode. I'm not ending the episode just yet, but just saying, probably next episode.
01:47:21
Speaker
So, are you guys tying in Walter, or what are you guys doing? We're not tying him in, we're tying him up. Come with us. Yeah. oh has occur Not again. Hikaru not sure if she feels like talking to Walter right now.
01:47:36
Speaker
Oh.
01:47:41
Speaker
Well, if Hikaru wants to like tell Bruce that Bruce can go talk to Walter and fill him in, give him badge, and all that. but they've walt it now Yeah, Bruce, why don't you do it? If Walter... No, jeez. I'm just feeling... If Bruce is the one that's going to talk to him, I will pick up well Walter on the way and just carry him above my head as we're walking out of the yard.
01:48:05
Speaker
If you're trying to pick up Walter, not out of nowhere, and he doesn't see you coming, you're getting decked. It's like a reaction to him. If he doesn't see you, he doesn't know who you are, and you pick him up you're getting decked.
01:48:18
Speaker
Okay, do you want Sammy to roll stealth then? Yeah, roll stealth if you're me just how to do Sneaky. How's Sneaky be on Heelys? Oh shoot. Heelys in the grass.
01:48:29
Speaker
Heelys in the grass. He's like tiptoeing. He can't do the Heelys. Stealth cool. i don't have cool. Okay.
01:48:39
Speaker
don't know my base, but I wouldn't be looking out for him, so I guess just get above a 10? 19. nineteen um yeah you're I'm decking you. You're getting decked.
01:48:50
Speaker
What? I said 19. I know. soon as you pick me up, you're getting my instincts are making me deck you.
01:48:59
Speaker
You snuck up on Walter and startled him. If I'm getting punched either way, what move my mute am I using? Metal Claw? No, you know wouldn't be getting... It's kind of backwards. You wouldn't be getting punched if you failed that stealth roll.
01:49:14
Speaker
Oh. You were too stealthy and you startled them. Yeah. So... What do we have Walter roll for the punch? I don't know.
01:49:26
Speaker
It doesn't really matter. in the garden ah Is the garden a dungeon? Can I just use Escapist to get out of this? yeah The garden is not a dungeon.
01:49:40
Speaker
I think we have a plot to get back to. we Yeah. you guys want to head to... Just checking the times in it.
01:49:48
Speaker
yeah i mean okay so shut walker you's the run down walter walter uh project flameback is a guild now kind of sorta we have badges here's your badge they can teleport us and other people that we recruit to help us out back here to the basement and that is the like guild base of operations of thing. You no longer have to take the train. I don't have to, yeah.
01:50:17
Speaker
That's the big advantage here. Yeah. Guys, I got a question. You know how we made like a big fuss about how Selina was going to use the orb for selfish reasons? Do you think Jeremy's going do that? Aren't kind of doing the same thing?
01:50:32
Speaker
We don't have the orb. I know, no, no, but she was she wants to do it when she gets all the orbs, and so are we. To be fair, I kind of forgot about Serlina wanting the orbs.
01:50:44
Speaker
It's a nice kind of forgettable background character at this point. Yeah, I know, right. Which is weird, because just a week ago, you were about to go to to the death battle between her. She thought she was the main character. She's not a main character. At the pizzeria, when she was literally starting to ice beam. She was going to ice beam me for touching the orb.
01:51:08
Speaker
Oh. I just... oh i fa it so I was saying a week ago, Iroh. No. I gotcha. I'm like, I'm really confused about our morals here. it's okay if... I think we're walking at this point. This is what Bruce was doing when Sammy, I guess. Yeah, you guys are walking to Pepperoni's pizzeria.
01:51:30
Speaker
and So, it's okay when we endanger the... world time space but not when other people do it I mean and don't think we've done anything we haven't done anything directly yet we haven't done anything no but we're planning to I'm not planning to do anything but also so from what from the explanation that we've had it seems like having the legendaries trapped in the orbs is upsetting the balance of the world
01:52:02
Speaker
So if we collect these words, I'm now curious how Talena getting the legendaries will help her get her mother back. Well, she wants to go back in time. Well, I mean... She wants to defy the... What was it? Necasma?
01:52:20
Speaker
Do you guys have the pages on you?
01:52:25
Speaker
Hikaru would? I think no, she them back to Blair. No, she gave the pages to Blair. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Blair has him. I was gonna say, you guys seem to have forgotten something, but ah if you had the pages, i was just gonna give it to you.
01:52:40
Speaker
If you guys want to roll history or something. Yeah, if one of you guys wants roll history. If anything, Hikaru's the only one who can.
01:52:54
Speaker
Let me take this...
01:53:01
Speaker
That's a nine.
01:53:06
Speaker
It's close enough, I'll give it to you. ah I'm just going to read this one sentence then. It is said that those who wield the orb may once more awaken the gods of the Temple of Origin and gain of powers unknown.
01:53:21
Speaker
So, the thing you be forgetting is you can- What? No. What I'm saying I'm starting to think Ms. Flameback You guys can use the orbs to gain ultimate power.
01:53:32
Speaker
That is what Selina's ultimate goal is. We're gonna be supersonic. Or I guess you go you guys gain ultimate power to accomplish whatever goal. We want ultimate power to bring back Bruce's dad.
01:53:45
Speaker
She wants ultimate power so she can go back in reunite with her mom. Do we want ultimate power though? Who's to say we can't do both things at the same time? I'm just bringing back the argument that we argued against it so hard. Walter, do you want ultimate power?
01:54:02
Speaker
I mean, it sounds nice.
01:54:06
Speaker
good i I'm not against that. just so I just want need to know I need a set stone. What amores are? my My question is, like like what's okay? What's not okay? what I understand why why why why Bruce needs it.
01:54:19
Speaker
I understand why Cold Glaceon needs it. What do the three of us need it? Just to help Bruce? i wouldn' um I wouldn't mind bringing back Vincent just to kill him again. um That's not a good thing. Wow.
01:54:31
Speaker
That is not a good goal to have. I got kill stolen. No, that's not a good thing. yeah I don't know. um Ask the universe why. got to be shit to me.
01:54:47
Speaker
i Ask the universe how to be a good parent? Needs that.
01:54:57
Speaker
Look at me. I did just fine without it. Okay. I think i' at this point, the be your guys' GPA goes off. you guys have got a text message.
01:55:08
Speaker
Ring-a-ring, ring-a-ring. And it is Miss Flameback once again. She's texting guys, and the text says, Veronica, Jeremy, and Blair are in.
01:55:20
Speaker
I thought she was going to text us to come back. Like, we we just left. No. So going to... Veronica has betrayed us. I'm going to post something in our chat. Each of these characters has a specialty of theirs that they can perform.
01:55:36
Speaker
This is what everyone's specialties are.
01:55:43
Speaker
So we have Selena does dirty work. Abyss is a bodyguard. Brie is a moneymaker, as in she can make money off of mission boards. so Veronica is a performer. Jeremy is also a performer.
01:55:56
Speaker
Miss Flameback is a leader with police ties. Alfred can do dirty work with police ties. And bla Blair is a researcher and can decipher the ancient language. I think you gotta put Abyss as jealous boyfriend as well as bodyguard. Jealous boyfriend. Jealous boyfriend. Oh!
01:56:16
Speaker
i need more We need more Walter Selina lore. if he's got a boyfriend, I ain't gonna take it. I ain't gonna shoot my shot. don't know that, though. You weren't downstairs.
01:56:28
Speaker
No, yeah you're true. It's very true. But I'm gonna say, I don't want psychic to get it. We already know what happened last time I got psychic. He's gonna find out soon enough. I turned into this guy.
01:56:41
Speaker
I'll turn it into this complete cupcake. i'm like, super nice, super non-killing. Make that canon. Every time Walter gets a head injury or a mental illness um injury, he changes personality.
01:56:56
Speaker
oh God. Okay. No, I'm not doing that because that would be terrible to keep track of. So you guys at this point arrive at Pepperoni's Pizzeria.
01:57:08
Speaker
Through the glass doors you can see and Mrs. Pepperoni working in the kitchens and in the sitting area. You guys going inside of MoSemon?
