Opening Recap by Evelyn
00:00:00
Speaker
Yeah, I guess I'll do a bit of a recap. So we're not in the intro. What? We're just talking about who's going to be in the recap when we get in the episode. Oh. Sounds like it'll be Evelyn. Yes. You volunteered yourself. Wow. OK. All right. Well, we know who's doing the recap then. It's great. OK. We have our little. Oh, no. We're not in the intro. OK.
Meet the Hosts: Evelyn & Eli
00:00:41
Speaker
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Path Through Time, one of the podcasts that believes that Scratch is an overpowered move. To my left is someone who is an avid coffee drinker. It's me, Evelyn. And to my left is someone who owns a 49-string guitar. Wait, wait. It's a lot of string. It's very complicated to play. You just have to play it very carefully. Not Eli. Are you sure that's not a heart?
00:01:11
Speaker
across from me is someone who prefers eating peas frozen over steamed. You know, the extra crunch just makes them way more satisfying than you bite into. Hi, I'm Sean. I didn't think peas could get any worse. Yeah, I think on a 49 string guitar, all the strings like crisscross. Oh, wait, is a 49 string guitar an actual thing? Yeah. I am looking this up.
00:01:36
Speaker
a 49-string guitar. Oh, wait, whoa. So I thought you were just like, I thought you were actually just talking about like a harp. I thought you just made it up. Or is there a sound? Is there a sound board here on Jekyll and Flynn? Yeah. Yes. Oh, I just found it. What the? Hold on. I can hear that doubling through some of the speakers, unless someone else did it as well. Oh my gosh.
00:02:05
Speaker
I didn't know Discord is the
Episode Recap: Bruce's Family & Pepperoni's Pizzeria
00:02:07
Speaker
best intro ever. We are keeping this in. Well, future decoded here. Yeah, forgot to do the recap. I'll make this quick. So basically we opened up with Bruce meeting his mother and Alfred the butler who was making Boca burgers. Him and his family had a chat and that was the last to solve Bruce for the entire episode.
00:02:28
Speaker
After that, we were introduced to Sami's family, who consists of his mom and dad, who are both Snorlaxes that run Pepperoni's Pizzeria. After Sami tried to jokingly order a pizza, his parents had him help in the back. We then cut over to when Hikaru got home from school, and her mom was managing the store while Quinn was creating a ruckus in one of the aisles. Hikaru's mom, who has the worst acts imaginable, allowed Hikaru and Quinn to go visit Walter. When they got there, we got to meet Walter's abusive father, who is glad of any reason to be rid of Walter.
00:02:58
Speaker
This three of them took a trip to Pepperoni's Pizzeria, where they tried to order ice cream. That didn't turn out too well, because apparently no one in Pepperoni's family knows what ice cream is. So, Chicago, Walter, and Quinn ended up getting fed Black's Ludge, as Sammy tried to put the ice cream in the oven. Twice. The lot ended up going to a bubble tea shop, where we ended the episode. Now, back to whatever's going on here. Okay, are you guys ready to jump on in? We're ready to something on in. I'm ready to fall into it.
00:03:27
Speaker
We're on a rock climb in. Going to the mountains now, huh? All right. No beaches on a beach. Sure, we'll surf on in. Nice. Thank you.
Morning Mystery: Bank Vault Break-In
00:03:40
Speaker
Breaking news. Volkerberg bank vault broken in yesterday evening. This is the headline of the newspaper that Bruce is reading. You've set the newspaper down and you are in the kitchen. Alfred is making
00:03:57
Speaker
Uh, grilled cheese. He's making grilled cheese for breakfast. Your mom... I'm trying to think of a way to have a breakfast grilled cheese sandwich. Uh, it's grilled cheese with egg in it. It's like a McGriddle. Except vegan, so it's a... Oh no, it's like, uh, go to Denny's and get the moons up from a hammy. It's that.
00:04:23
Speaker
I haven't been to Denny's in forever, so I have no idea what we're talking about. It's a Boca McRiddle. You're making Boca McRiddle, Chief Sanders. Oh, yeah. Okay. So you're sitting at the kitchen table with your sister. Yeah, your sister, your mother. And Alfred is at the kitchen wearing a chef hat and a apron that says kiss the chef. Of course he is. Of course he is. So Alfred.
00:04:54
Speaker
and throwing it over to Bruce. Oh, did you see this? It's interesting. The Inc. and Volkenburg get broken into. Who are you saying this to? The table. Just the table. Why? Why did I expect anyone sitting at the table? Yeah, he said my mom and my sister are sitting at the table. Oh, I thought you literally meant you were talking to the table.
00:05:24
Speaker
I'll tell you both. People at the table.
Family Discussion: Newspaper Confusion
00:05:31
Speaker
I'm sorry, that broke me. What, hold on, do you have a specific voice? That's all it takes to break our DM, huh? For an easy ride, huh? It is not hard. Do you have a voice for your sister? Does she have a specific voice? I do not have a voice. Force voice. Oh boy, I guess I can have fun with this.
00:05:54
Speaker
Oh boy. Oh boy. I'll just kind of go like all hillbilly again and just be like, whoa, how'd you dare? Not that please. Remember her name is Arabella Arabella. Okay.
00:06:10
Speaker
So your sister is I'm sorry. I don't know why that killed me again. She's eating her bocca McGriddles and she's like, ah, okay, that's a Interesting the uh, oh Whatever the DM called it that bank hasn't been broken into and I
00:06:32
Speaker
I haven't seen it in a newspaper ever, so I guess it's supposed to be like a newspaper. I haven't seen it in a newspaper ever, it's... I wonder if the inside page continuation of the article has anything about who might have broken into it. Why did you, why did you make me do this? I had nothing else planned with that. You made a group read a newspaper, this is what you get.
00:06:57
Speaker
It's a complicated newspaper. Roll in the investigation. Improv. That's why. Okay. We have to roll investigation to read. Apparently it is very complicated. Open your eyes.
00:07:13
Speaker
I rolled a three plus one. At the end of the article it's uh where it usually says continued like on the front page it usually says that continued on page uh I don't know 3,092 so you go to page 3,982 and it's just in it. What newspaper is 3,000 pages? It's just Rick Astley. Nearly 3,100 pages.
00:07:38
Speaker
Girl, I like that. Okay, you go there. It's just Rick Astley. It's just an advertisement that says never gonna give you up and there's no further details. There's nothing additional on the bank. Oh no. Not that you could find. Well, I guess that's not important to the story then. It's just something to talk about.
00:08:07
Speaker
i have time is it uh it's so it is the morning sorry the next morning after we left left the last episode so i'm going to say it's well what time does bruce and his family get up we have to meet mr gimmo at 10 early riser yeah probably you better hope it's not after 10 either 8 30 am
00:08:30
Speaker
Okay, so, sure, it's like eight o'clock in the morning.
Sibling Practice: Garden Moves
00:08:33
Speaker
Okay. You know, typical breakfast time. Your mom, oh yeah, you did tell your mom about the meeting with Mr. Dr. Schumer, didn't you? Yeah, I did. Okay, yeah, so she looks at the clock and she's like, you should start heading up. You should start heading out, honey. Your meeting's about to start here in like an hour and a half. I don't remember how long it takes for you to get to your house, so I'm just gonna say it's gonna take an hour. 10 minutes, I think? I don't know what we're talking about. We should go to school. Go to school.
00:08:59
Speaker
Okay, ten minutes, so your mom's like, uh, maybe you should wait another hour. Don't just go for a really long walk. I'm gonna turn to Arabella and say, hey, do you want to practice some of your moves now, then? Since I've got an hour or so. Oh, interesting. Okay, so I hate that I gave your mom and Arabella the same voice.
00:09:22
Speaker
I think I'm actually going to give her a little bit of a different place just for clarification. She's like, yeah, do you want to go out in the garden and like fight for a bit or something? Sure. Bruce and Arabella head out to the garden. Actually, what's your garden like since you've got a
00:09:42
Speaker
Do you have like an area to battle? Or are you just like going out onto the street? What's the... Give me the scope of the area. We've got a nice stone path that like goes in a circle around our garden with like a little like bigger square spot or like painting and stuff. It's literally just a battle square.
00:10:07
Speaker
Okay, that's small. All right. Well that simplifies things Arabella heads over to one side of the field you head over to the other and I guess we will initiate battle If you I didn't know if you wanted to do a full-on battle or not doing a full-on battle I created this character sheet. We're gonna use it. I have a feeling it's never gonna get used again Okay her speed it her speed is nine and she ruled a five and
00:10:34
Speaker
Oh right, I forgot, we have to roll D speed. That means I need to pull up a random D9 thing. Yes, let me head over to randomg9.com. Oh, is she at the same speed as you? Oh, hey, I rolled 9. Oh hey, there you go, so you go first.
00:10:54
Speaker
okay i'm gonna start out uh let's work on practicing that umber that you're still kind of working on it a bit so i'm just gonna try how it's done look look what is uh what is syndical's ability you have flash fire i do have flash all for pete's sake that's why you wanted
00:11:18
Speaker
Okay. All right. Well, uh, sure. So she's like, okay. Uh, yeah, we can do Emperor. And are you saying you're holding your turn or are you actually going to move? No, I'm going to demonstrate. Oh, okay. Okay, cool. I got an eight. All right. That'll hit. So accuracy of six. That means it hits. Yes. Yeah.
00:11:47
Speaker
And 1d8 plus 6. That's a 1.
00:11:54
Speaker
This is weapon damage. Nice weak ember, just a demonstration. Plus your special. Oh right. Plus my special is 9, so 16. 16? Mine's your special defense. Alright, that is going to deal 5 damage. Oops, I set her HP to 5. That is not what I wanted. Alright, so you send up... Actually, describe to me how exactly your ember works.
00:12:20
Speaker
So it's just I make a little flame in my mouth and then I shoot it out. And she takes it and she's like, oh, that was a good one. And she goes for an ember and rolls a four. She misses. So she tries to send out an ember and she just chokes on it and nothing happens.
00:12:48
Speaker
Oh, uh, sorry, sorry, Bruce. Okay, I know you're still working on it. Uh, you're Calarian Ponyta normally able to learn Ember at all, so you're doing better than most. Yeah, thank you. And now I... Yeah, I'm just gonna go for a tackle now, I guess.
00:13:17
Speaker
All right. I don't know. It's a seven. That'll hit. Will hit. Another d8 plus six. Six this time. Okay. I'll be 12 plus nine.
00:13:43
Speaker
21, minus physical defense. You said 21? Yep, minus physical defense. Oh jeez, okay. If this was regular D&D, you would have broken her leg. She is down into the very low yellow. She comes smacking her and she follows over. She's like, ah, Bruce, that's too much. Stop. Sorry.
00:14:09
Speaker
Yeah, she stands back up and she's like, all right, I'm going to try this one more time. I'm going to say I'm going to say that Bruce can turn off his flash fire. So that he can actually be hit by ember for this battle. Interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of someone trying to negate their. I'll have you roll for that if this hits.
00:14:34
Speaker
Okay, so she's gonna go for Ember again, and her Ember will miss. She rolled a 2. So practically the same thing happens. She goes up for an Ember, but after falling over and losing concentration, she just starts hacking and coughing. And she's not having any of it.
00:14:55
Speaker
Okay, I'm sorry Bruce. I mean maybe we should try a different time and she's uh This is me the DM trying to have you not knock out your sister Yes, I was also willing to say yeah, if we should It's just not a good time for you, maybe you've got a warm up a bit more again later in the day
00:15:24
Speaker
Sure, sure. Actually, yeah, we could do that. So I'm gonna go back in and eat some breakfast. And she... Warm up, pun intended? Yes, warm up. That was incredibly intended. Breakfast is her held item though. It is. So she goes inside and she... She puts the grilled cheese in the microwave. The propane microwave.
00:15:49
Speaker
because that's how that's how microwaves work so she pretty sure that's just an oven frank-powered air fryer it is just an oven so she puts it in a really tiny oven easy bake oven no it's just it's a single sandwich oven there you go yeah there you go
00:16:11
Speaker
Yeah, it's a toaster oven. So she puts it in a mini toaster oven, heats up her grilled cheese, and eats it. There's no stat for grilled cheese, so I'm gonna make this an official item and say it heals 1d10 because... Because of grilled cheese. And that's gonna heal her for 4 health. So... At this time, it's approximately... I mean, I know that battle wasn't that long, but I'm gonna say it's like 9.30.
00:16:37
Speaker
Sounds about right. I'm sure we actually spent some more time like going over how Ember actually works and trying
Training Troubles: Arabella's Struggle
00:16:44
Speaker
to get her Ember to like
00:16:47
Speaker
time to get her to be able to use Ember before we actually started anything. I like that. So, you tried teaching her and she, I actually rolled her Ember again to see if she actually learned anything. She missed again. Oh no. She rolled a six, but because a tie will miss. Because we don't do meats, feats in this one. Yeah.
00:17:12
Speaker
So she's learning, but she's not really improving over the course of one day. I kind of figured, I was always thinking of it as how they have the learning and then learned. Oh, that's right. Do you want to put that in the learning slot then? Yeah, I guess so. OK, cool. Does she have a fourth move other than that? Because that'll leave for an empty spot.
00:17:42
Speaker
I mean, she could have... What did I do with that other tab? She could also have Tail Whip at this level. Sure. Well, we'll do that. I spelled Tail Whip wrong. I think it has a space. Tail Whip. There we go. Okay. All right, so...
00:18:06
Speaker
So my plan for a moveset was like basically just the Galarian Ponyta moveset with some fire type moves thrown in, mostly moves that a syndical can learn. Yeah, I like that because she's being... And she's like teaching her how to do that, and she's able to do it because regular Ponyta can learn fire type moves.
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah, I like that, especially since she's being raised by fire type, so it wouldn't make sense that they try to teach her fire type moves. I like that. It is now 9.30. What is Bruce doing? He's gonna start heading out. He knows he'll be a bit early, but this would give him a chance to talk things over if anyone else is early as well.
00:18:57
Speaker
Okay, so you head out, you walk in down the lane and we are gonna zoom out and zoom back in into Pepperoni's Pizzeria. I think that's the name of the restaurant. That's it. So we zoom into the bedroom window above the pizzeria and an alarm clock starts blaring as it is now. Wait, hold on. How far away is the pizzeria from the school? Is it like an hour and a half?
00:19:24
Speaker
it's like it's it's a bit yeah it's like an hour all right i'm gonna say it's like exactly nine o'clock so your uh sam is alarm clock is blaring in his face i want you to roll i want uh i want you to roll perception okay
00:19:45
Speaker
Got a nine. Okay. So with a nine. So with a nine, we zoom into Sammy's dream. What is Sammy dreaming about? Oh, geez. No, hold on. Just a suggestion. It should absolutely be whatever Sammy thinks ice cream is. Oh, heck yeah. Definitely whatever heck ice cream is. So what does Sammy imagine ice cream is?
00:20:15
Speaker
I got a nat 1, so work with that. Well, hold on. Do you have a plus 8 in perception? No. I just rolled again to see if I knew what ice crea- if I could dream what ice cream was.
00:20:29
Speaker
if i could dream what an ice cream was oh my gosh okay this uh depending on what the pre-show banter is this may or may not make sense but you are imagining basically a chainsaw so there's a chainsaw but uh as the chainsaw like revs up you don't exactly hear a chainsaw you hear an alarm bell and it is very confusing to you but you do not wake up
00:20:56
Speaker
I think it's funny that, uh, Sammy knows what exchange salt is, but not, uh, but not ice cream. You give me an ice cream related role and I can't get it. Yeah, you really can't. So you're a- I chose to roll that one, but still. Your alarm clock is still going off. Uh, disadvantage on all ice cream related roles in the future.
00:21:17
Speaker
Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. That's that's a thing. Anytime there's anything ice cream related, which now that I'm thinking about it, I am definitely going to make something ice cream related in the future. You will have to roll at this advantage. So your alarm clock is still going off in your bedroom and your parents are downstairs getting the pizzeria prep for the morning and they hear your alarm clock going on and they're like, are they? Now we zoom down to Sammy's parents and the dad's life.
00:21:45
Speaker
Sammy did not get in order bed again, is he? Your alarm has been going off for a couple of minutes now. Hey, Sammy, get up! Roll me perception again. Sure. 19, okay. 19? Yeah, I'm up. Uh, yeah, so... Yeah, you snap awake to the sound of your dad yelling at you up the stairs. Hey, ow! What's going on?
00:22:09
Speaker
It's 9 o'clock. Hold on, wait, real quick. Did you say you had a meeting to your parents?
Morning Mishaps: Sammy and Hikaru
00:22:15
Speaker
I don't know. We didn't talk to them about it in the last episode, so I don't know if that's something we happened to do off. Okay, I'm gonna say you didn't. So they're like, hey, sorry, the pizza really needs to start it up. Come fire up these grills. Start the ice cream maker. And...
00:22:31
Speaker
He has time, dad. I don't know what ice cream is. Neither do I, but you got to come down here and figure this stuff out. I don't know why your dad turned so bad all of a sudden. So yeah, he heads back into the kitchen. What's Sammy doing? So I guess I'll head downstairs and explain to him that I actually have somewhere to be. OK, so yeah, you head downstairs and you see your dad in the kitchen. Uh, geez, my mind went to Boca Burgers again. He's making pizza. He's starting some pizza.
00:23:01
Speaker
The thing is, I actually have somewhere to go. I have to go meet with my teacher today. I know it's the last, yesterday was the last day of classes, but something happened and he asked me to come to the school and talk to him about something. He looks at you deadpan, he's like, you got detention, didn't you? No! Uh-huh. This time? Yeah, look at me in my face and tell me that you got detention. Did not.
00:23:24
Speaker
Uh-huh, get out there and go serve your detention. He puts his, he, he face bombs, he's like, today was the last day of school and you're telling me you've got detention already? I didn't even know they did detention after school. Just, just, just go and be back when you can so we can. And he frustratingly turns around and starts making pizzas again. Whatever. And then I take my really slow walk to the school.
00:23:53
Speaker
Okay. Alright, that was a nice sweet and short for Sami. We're going to kick it on over to Hikaru. And we zoom in and... Uh, your house is above the store again, correct? Yep. Okay, so basically the same scenario as Sami, you wake up or, actually no, is Hikaru an early sleeper or late sleeper? She's a bit of a late sleeper. Okay, so you're definitely waking up to an alarm clock again. Yeah.
00:24:23
Speaker
So, call me perception. Alright. I'm just surprised that my Snorlax parents were up and awake before I was. They've got a restaurant to run. They're responsible. Okay, 15. Yeah, you wake up as soon as that alarm clock goes off. Like, the first ring of that bell, and you are on it. So... Yeah, wait- YEAH! What?
00:24:54
Speaker
She's like SpongeBob and just jumps out of bed. I actually don't. I love that. So it's not an alarm clock. It's a fog horn. It is a surf shop. It is. OK, that actually really fits. So your alarm clock is a fog horn and it goes off in your ear. And just like SpongeBob, you jump up, push the big red button and you are up for the day. Yeah, I guess she goes down the stairs to
00:25:25
Speaker
He's on the second floor of the building, right? And the entire apartment is on the second floor? Okay, so she just walks out of her room and goes to the living room. All right, how exactly does your family do stuff in the morning? Does your shop open up this early in the morning? Is your family doing anything?
00:25:44
Speaker
Well her her dad would be getting ready to leave the house He'd be putting on his um Did we meet your dad last time? I don't think we did just her mom Okay, cool. Can you give me a description of your dad?
00:26:01
Speaker
Yeah, so her dad's name is Goku Hatsumi. He's a Monferno and he's a real estate developer slash real estate agent in Gale Beach. So he's putting on his suit.
00:26:17
Speaker
It's just a single red tie. Yes. A single red tie. Monkey suit. As opposed to two red ties. So you see your dad down there. So your mom or Quincy is not awake? Yeah, Quinn's not awake yet. Oh, Quinn? Sorry, I thought it was Quincy. Right, just Quinn. Right, sorry.
00:26:45
Speaker
Okay, so you go down the stairs and you see your dad. He's, uh, tying his tie and you see he has a suitcase and he's just about ready to head out the door for the day. Good morning, dad.
00:26:58
Speaker
Okay, I gotta think of a voice. Uh, Monferno. I don't know why. Monferno screams British to me. Uh, I've done too much British. Uh, he's... he looks like he's like... You were doing Australian last time, remember? Oh yeah, it was Australian. And then turned into the worst Irish accent this world has ever seen. So... I really don't want to do that. Like, I really don't. Alright, well, I guess this is my attempt at an Australian accent again.
00:27:27
Speaker
So he looks at you and he's like, oh, uh, good morning. Good morning. Wait, I already said good morning. Not you did. Why are you up so early? Oh, I don't know. I mean, my alarm went off. I guess I'm supposed to, I don't know.
00:27:49
Speaker
Uh, hold on, I'm gonna have to roll insight. Okay, so he rolled a 13 on insight, and he kinda squints his eyes and turns his head. He's like, you're not usually awake this early, are you? Oh boy, here we go Irish again. Uh, for school. Like, I usually have to get up this early for school. Oh. School ended yesterday, and the graduation ceremony's not for a couple more days. Yeah, I just forgot to turn off my alarm.
00:28:20
Speaker
Hmm. Since he didn't get a full success, he turns and he's like, I guess. Okay. Well, anyway, I'm heading out for work. I'll see you. I'll see you this afternoon. And he picks up his suitcase and he is out the door. And is mom here? You told me your mom and Quinn were still asleep. Oh, yeah. Okay. So I'm the only one in the living room right now.
00:28:50
Speaker
I guess I should, uh, I don't know, brush my teeth or something. Um, maybe have some water. Um, so you do that. Yeah. Yep. You do that. Do your typical morning routine. What does Hikaru eat for breakfast? What does she eat for breakfast? Um, Oh, she doesn't really know how to make things. Cause usually her mom makes breakfast, but she can just take a few berries out of the cupboard.
00:29:19
Speaker
Oh no, Yukaru doesn't, Yukaru doesn't know how to put together cereal. So, yeah, you go into the cupboard, sure, there's like an Oranberry, you know, your typical berries, Oranberry, Pecha Berry, Ross Berry, and there's a, there's plenty full of them, so you can take as many as you need. There's some, is there any Moo Moo milk in the refrigerator? Uh, is Moo Moo milk one of those things that's actually staying in, or is that?
00:29:50
Speaker
Because I don't know if that constitutes as an animal product in this world. I think moo moo milk is fine, since like, cows generally need their milk taken anyways.
00:30:03
Speaker
Sir you find some moo moo milk in the fridge. I feel like you have cereal if there isn't moo moo milk available. Okay, we're just good Yes, cuz we're not drinking water in earth. Okay, fine. So you alright so Jeez, I can't speak. Yes in the fridge. There's some moo moo milk. There's a glass bottle. It has a picture of a milk tank on it. Mm-hmm
00:30:29
Speaker
So, so I get the moo moo milk, I get a bowl, I get a single orange berry, and I just put the milk in the bowl, and put the orange berry in the milk. Okay yeah, he color does not know how to make cereal. I love the visual, I really do.
00:30:50
Speaker
Just a bowl of milk with one single berry in it. So you eat this milk, and as you take a bite, or a sip, I mean... Actually, you might take a bite, because this milk is very sour. I actually rolled for it, and your milk is, like, perfectly just, like, utterly fermented. It is disgusting. Oh no. And then she just, like, spits out, like... This milk is...
00:31:20
Speaker
worse than i expected and then she yeah uh it's skim oh it's skim milk we look at the back we look at the back of the bottle and it says it expired last week last week oh no well it's been in the fridge it shouldn't go bad that quickly hell if i know i don't know it's bad milk that's all the dice told me yeah milk is one thing i do not mess with when it comes to expiration dates
00:31:50
Speaker
milk. Man, I can't even remember the last time I drank milk, like jeez. Yeah, so she's just gonna bring the bottle of milk back to the kitchen sink and pour it out. Okay, for a second I thought you were gonna put it back in the fridge. I thought she was gonna bring it to school.
00:32:14
Speaker
Bring it to school today. Hey guys, I'm just gonna bring the milk with me. I'm gonna prank my friends today. Hey guys, take a sip of this milk. Okay, so you guys, not you guys, sorry. He kind of delps out this stuff into the sink. It is gone. So either you need to find something else to eat for breakfast or you're going hungry today. Also, you're holding one berry covered in spoiled milk.
00:32:41
Speaker
I'll eat the berry. Okay, I'll wash the berry off and eat it. Okay, yeah, you wash it off. And the unfair part is, I was gonna eat breakfast, but the munchlacks didn't eat anything. You've got enough reserves.
00:32:59
Speaker
So I rolled for wash, and you got a four. Your berry tastes very bitter. I feel like Hikaru should roll for herself for washing her berry off. Well, okay, let me rephrase. I didn't exactly roll for wash. I rolled for a helm. You're not fine. Hikaru rolled me a straight D20, or Evelyn. Okay. Let's see how Washi washes this off. Yeah, that does make more sense.
00:33:26
Speaker
that one okay it's even worse please you take this and it makes you throw up luckily you're right by the sink yeah so your mornings are not going well really i'd be i might be poisoned from i don't know something i ate yesterday uh if you're asking me you're poisoned from whatever the ice cream you had is
00:33:53
Speaker
Whatever that was. Yeah, that's what that... Oh yeah, Black Sludge. Yeah, I think I called it Black Sludge too. Yeah, you literally took a bite of Black Sludge or something and it gave you food poisoning. Yeah. I'm gonna take a Pecha Berry out of the cupboard. Okay, yeah, that's what I was hoping you would do. So you take a Pecha Berry out, you eat it, and you are no longer poisoned. What time did we say he kind of woke up like 8? Mmm.
00:34:22
Speaker
It's, I thought it was 9 30. I thought we were like getting up at the same time. Okay, sure. It's 9 30. So it is very close to the time. You have to lay for school. Okay. So, so in that case, I'm gonna, I'm gonna walk down the stairs and head out. Okay.
00:34:48
Speaker
And we cut out and we zoom in back on the school.
Forest Mystery Discussion
00:34:53
Speaker
Mr. Dr. Sumo is standing in front of the high school and he has, uh, he's actually not alone. He is with Mr. Farnsworth, the, I believe history teacher there at the high school. As all four of you congregate around him, he, uh, he sees it. Say again. Walter.com. Oh, my bad. Yes. Walter's there too.
00:35:16
Speaker
Walter gets there. I'm actually going to say he gets there. He's the first one there. So he arrives and he greets everybody. He says hello to everyone. And Mr. Dr. Suma waits for everyone to arrive and he has
00:35:32
Speaker
I gotta remember the voice from Mr. Dr. Signo. He's like, uh, hey guys, uh, so I brought someone with me because I thought they might be useful. I didn't, I didn't tell him and I thought they might be useful. So, so he, uh, just just in Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Farnsworth, who by the way, looks just exactly like Dr. Farnsworth from Futurama. He, he's also a Kangaskhan. He waves, he's like,
00:36:01
Speaker
Sorry, I forgot. I don't think there's any humans in this world. There are no humans here. No, that's not bad. Just trying to picture that now. It's just... It's just like towering over all of us.
00:36:24
Speaker
Oh my gosh, sorry. I had the image in my mind of a Kingis Khan who was just molded in the shape of Dr. Farnsworth. He's got, you know, slippers, a lab coat on. Yes, he's wearing bright blue slippers, a lab coat, but I am in my pajamas and
00:36:43
Speaker
So, I don't even remember where I left off from. Mr. Dr. Summa's like, I brought Mr. Farnsworth with me today because I figured they'd be useful for what I'm going to talk to you guys about. So, I don't know if, yeah, Mr. Farnsworth waves at you guys and Mr. Dr. Summa says, I don't know if you want to tell him everything. If you want him to leave, he says that's fine, but he's willing to help if you need it.
00:37:14
Speaker
Okay, I don't see why we wouldn't be able to tell him everything. What do you guys think? I don't... I don't see why we wouldn't trust him. Yeah, we can tell him everything.
00:37:25
Speaker
Okay, so I don't have a... I don't remember the voice I did for Mr. Doctor Simba. I think Mr. Doctor Simba's... Sorry, not Mr. Doctor Simba's. I don't think I remember the voice for Mr. Farnsworth. I think it was the very first character. Mr. Farnsworth was like, he had like two lines in the first episode. Yeah, I think it was the very first voice I had to do.
00:37:47
Speaker
It's, uh, sure, just a generic deep voice. He's like, uh, hi guys. That's definitely not the voice I get. Hi guys, uh, so, all of a sudden he turns menacing at all of you. What have you guys been up to?
00:38:05
Speaker
No, he's he looks at you a lot and he says, all right, what can I get? What can I help you guys with today? Mr. Dr. Sumo here says you guys have been into some trouble yesterday in the forest, but he wouldn't give me any details. It was really weird.
00:38:19
Speaker
Yeah, well, Mr. Dr. Sumo didn't see what we saw, so it kind of makes sense he wouldn't want to try to explain it. I'm gonna say you guys don't have to go over every single little detail again. If you guys just want to tell Mr. Farnsworth, he can tell me that or exclude what you want to exclude. To be fair, I think Bruce is the only one that actually saw anything.
00:38:45
Speaker
Yeah, well, Bruce and, uh, the other guy. Well, Walter, yes, the other guy. I can't remember Walter's name. He's an NPC.
00:38:56
Speaker
you don't pay me to remember npc's names okay is there anything you were excluding from this explanation but maybe maybe the part where i was running around scared i don't know does does bruce does bruce say that but uh bruce is just gonna tell him that they saw the rift and what he saw in the rift
00:39:26
Speaker
As he was approaching the rift, he just felt an immense amount of fear, but was able to push through it. Okay, Mr. Farnsworth. Oh, as you're telling the story, he says, uh, oh, uh, you called this thing a rift? Is that what you're calling it? Yeah, that's the, that it looked like just
00:39:50
Speaker
a hole in reality so sounds kind of like a rift to me like a big tear old zigzag slanted a big hole in the sky in the sky you say so like in space not that are i'm not that high up no yeah just like it was like
00:40:14
Speaker
You say it was around Mr. Dr. Sumo's head height or so, just over the apple that he had us finding? Yeah, interesting. And Mr. Dr. Sumo once again has the apple with him, and he actually sets it in front of him. He's like, this still isn't doing anything, is it? And the rift opens up, and everyone gets sucked in. No, no.
00:40:44
Speaker
We are not, no. The apple was the big bad the whole time. It was me the whole time, the apple. No, the apple is sitting there. Stagnantly. It doesn't look like it's doing anything, but it looks pretty tasty. I didn't really have breakfast, so can I eat it?
00:41:03
Speaker
Oh, this is evidence. He takes the apple back before you can have any second thoughts. I don't think the apple necessarily had anything to do with it. I didn't even see an apple when we were there. That's true. Neither did I, actually. It was just where Mr. Dr. Sumo said the apple was. Or above where the apple was, at least.
00:41:30
Speaker
It is true, when you guys entered the forest, you guys were looking a little bit above the apple now that I think about it. You guys weren't exactly going towards the apple itself, but something... Maybe it has to do something with that clearing, and not the apple itself, and... Mr. Dr. Sumo, you were there with Walter. Did you see what knocked him out? No, he just walked towards the center of the field and fell over. It was really, really odd.
00:42:00
Speaker
You didn't see anything. No, I mean, I saw you guys acting like maniacs, but that was it. Tommy running around. I'm in sight. Actually, I'd like to do one second. Okay. There must be an ice cream insight, because that was a five. That was a seven for me, so plus two is nine. Oh wait, what's... You seem to be telling the truth. Uh, I believe so, yes.
00:42:27
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, he he's going to be telling the truth. I mean, he just looks straight up confused. Can I inspect the apple? I think you did this last time, but sure. Give me an investigation role. Oh, actually, Mr. Mr. Dr. Simo has it. So he hands over the apple and roll investigation. 15.
00:42:51
Speaker
okay so 15 as you look at it uh actually uh real quick what is the mascot of your school okay that's difficult because usually a mascot's like a made-up thing right sometimes an animal uh it's a human yeah it's a human hey it is not a human well i'm thinking since it's scale beach high maybe like a palafin
00:43:19
Speaker
That's what I was thinking, yeah. It's a, sir, it's Palafin Hero form. Heck yeah. So, but in like a cartoony style. So as you look at this apple, it's a nicely red apple. It looks like it's slightly going, it's going bad just like barely, but on the back it's got, you know, the Palafin Hero form and cartoony form that is the logo and mascot of the school.
00:43:45
Speaker
And on the back of it, you can literally see a sticker that like, like when you buy it from the grocery store, it's got like a barcode on it. But that's about it. Oh, it looks like an apple. I should hope so. I mean, I bought this apple myself. Are you planning on eating it?
00:44:04
Speaker
I mean, not if it contains rift-y-ness, rift-y
Rift Site Curiosity: Bruce's Experiment
00:44:09
Speaker
-ness. Maybe one of us should try it. This thing is cursed. Take a little nibble out of it, see if a rift will come on out of it. Alright, he is rolling inside on you. He rolls it. Not roll persuasion. He's squinting. He's like... Yeah, sure, roll persuasion against him. Is that beauty?
00:44:27
Speaker
What, persuasion? Yeah. Persuasion is, it is cute. It's cute. I'm cute, awesome. Well, I got a 16 plus two, I got 18. Oh no. So he squints at you really hard, and he's like, hmm, bah, who am I kidding? Here, have it. And he tosses the apple over to you. Right, just take the apple and take a big chomp out of it. Wait, can I roll to see if I eat the whole apple? All right. Oh no. Here, roll.
00:44:57
Speaker
What is a good role for leg? Can you hold yourself back? Constitution, maybe? Performance. Roll me performance. That's a cute role. 14 plus 2 is 16.
00:45:11
Speaker
16 so you managed to you do eat the whole thing in one bite, but you managed to miss all the seeds and the stem So somehow in one bite you took a you turned into this perfect What's the apple apple core sure apple core I was trying to think of like the area of the inside of a donut hole You know apple core shape Yes, it is. There's no rip coming out of me. It's perfectly fine apple. Oh
00:45:40
Speaker
And then the rift comes out of you and flies all over the place. No, I'm kidding. I am the rift. No. Yes, you have suddenly turned into Arceus. No, nothing happens. It's just a regular normal... Well, I can tell you, it was delicious. You gained one belly. Yes, you gained one belly. I think it's technically a d4 belly, but... Uh, you guys should be up full health. Yeah, it doesn't actually matter. Our full belly since you guys rested. No, it doesn't.
00:46:06
Speaker
So, uh, yeah, Mr. Dr. Sumo actually, like, stares at you for a little bit to make sure nothing happens. And then, he's like, alright, well, I guess, yeah, the apple really was nothing. So, uh... Anyway, you know what? Fine. Roll for burp. Okay, you got the most massive burp in the world. There you go, you happy? Yes, absolutely.
00:46:35
Speaker
Mr. Dr. Sumo just is over the forest. I don't know if you guys want to go check it out, but Mr. Farnsworth said he had someone you guys could visit as well. Mr. Farnsworth piped up. Yeah, you got, there's this guy over in, or there's this girl over in Volkenburg. Her name is Blair. Blair the Absol. She owns a bookshop. She seems to know quite a bit about like extra normal stuff. And she has a huge book collection of like everything you could ever imagine.
00:47:04
Speaker
Uh, and he takes out a piece of paper and like scribbles down like, uh, uh, an address. I'm gonna say it's an address. I almost had coordinates, but I don't think that would make much sense. He jots down an address and I don't have an address. It's just an address. And he hands it to Bruce. Since you, uh, CTC. I approached Mr. Dr. Sumo. I had something to say to him. Okay. Are you taking this paper from Mr. Farnsworth? I'll take the paper.
00:47:33
Speaker
Okay, I peer over six a shoulder. Mr. Dr. Sumo. Can I call you Charles? We're just graduated. We're graduating. Can I call you Charles and Mr. Dr. Sumo? I never want to go back to that field ever again. My name is not Charles, but sure if it makes you feel better, call me Charles. I go for a fist bump. And he fist bumps you. Roll springs.
00:48:00
Speaker
What am I but one and tough I have a nine okay here to order six so neither one of you guys deal damage to each other and No, I was just seeing if you guys would like like specifically if mr. Dr. Simo would hurt you So big
00:48:26
Speaker
Hikaru said you were peering over Bruce's shoulder to look at the paper, correct? Okay, roll me. I'm not gonna have you roll for that. You look at it and I don't have a specific address. It's just an address. It's the correct place, Volkenburg, Alcaste, I don't know. 489 Houston Street. Volkenburg in the, uh, Vlama region? 489 Houston Street. Volkenburg, Vlama, State?
00:48:56
Speaker
I believe it's in Flama. It is in Flama. Okay, it's in Flama. Sure, so I'm not trying to write this down. It is... what number did you say it was? It's at 49 Houston Street. 49 Houston Street?
00:49:18
Speaker
I'm going to look over at them and be like, you know where this is? Well, it looks like it's in Houston Street. It is on Houston Street. It says it's the word house. OK.
00:49:38
Speaker
uh flama state alcalf planet universe um galaxy that's the wrong order i don't care i don't think that goes in an address everything
00:49:53
Speaker
everything there you go all right so the official address is 49 house 10 volkeberg fs out past planet universe galaxy everything perfect write that down we didn't we need that all right and i just typed five random numbers the zip code is 43567 i just jammed on my keyboard a bunch of numbers all right
00:50:13
Speaker
He gets a pen out from his fur and chucks it all down in his hand. All of that, the whole address. Even though Bruce is still holding the address note, but we still have an address. Yeah, there's no need for you to write it down. Hold on, wait, what are you writing? What are you writing it with? You don't have a writing utensil. That's what I pulled one out of my fur. We're gonna say you had a pen in your fur. I'm a sticky boy, I don't know.
00:50:42
Speaker
address note as my health item now okay address that works okay and so mr. dr. soon was like all right if you guys don't want to go into the paradise fine uh but uh here he reaches from behind him and pulls out of somewhere he pulls out four tickets and you can see they are train tickets to fulcrum
00:51:05
Speaker
Think of this as an early graduation gift.
Graduation Preparations: Gift from Mr. Dr. Sumo
00:51:10
Speaker
He puts his hand up to his mouth, and he whispers, I don't think you're supposed to know this yet, but all four of you guys graduated, so good luck. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to give these to you. Yay! Don't tell anyone I said that. I'm not supposed to tell anyone. And we would have known this by now, but all right, cool. Yeah, I graduated.
00:51:34
Speaker
I think I said your exam scores are supposed to come in like the next four hours, something like that. But you also said, graduations in a few days. That is true, actually. So, uh, okay. That don't create a really awkward situation where you have your diploma, but someone can come. We're already at our first time paradox. That's why they don't give you the actual diploma at graduation. They mail it to you afterwards. So you just don't get mailed to your diploma if you don't graduate.
00:52:04
Speaker
I know you were at the ceremony. Yeah, they don't actually notify you. Man, that's horrible. So yeah, turns out Bruce failed his exam and just has to stay back at school for another month. Because he already assumed he had graduated.
00:52:27
Speaker
Well, I mean, I don't know. Both you and Hikaru kind of failed the fighting exam. So I guess we'll see what comes with that when the exams go from the exam. I was just going to say that that wasn't a requirement for graduation. That was like an elective class.
00:52:43
Speaker
uh sure i mean i guess actually do electives count towards your uh graduations i know they count towards i don't think they would be just for funs like you need a certain number of specific types of electives and since it was our senior year i'm guessing we already had all of our like battle related electives done
00:53:07
Speaker
yeah so yeah you guys had all yeah sure you guys have all your stuff you guys are graduating according to mr we get to miss graduation um oh no the horse okay okay so you look you look down at the ticket and the uh the time of departure is actually shortly after oh gone so i don't get an excuse to miss graduation
00:53:32
Speaker
Bruce, it's gonna be fun! Graduation's great! We get to go on stage and we get the cool folder handed to us. I don't know if I have anything in it, but I'm sure they'll give us our graduation diplomas there. And Hikaru will be there. We don't know about Walter. Oh, no, Walter will be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so actually the ticket says it's the day after. The day after. We'll have a great time, Bruce. I'm telling you, it'll be fine. If you say... I said all this while my arm wrapped around Bruce.
00:54:01
Speaker
If you say so, it just sounds like a big crowd of people. It is a big crowd of people. We're all to find out if Sammy gets burned. Uh, no. Cindy Quill's flames can go down. Cindy Quill first doesn't really have his flames out unless he's in alert mode. Okay.
00:54:24
Speaker
I just, I just think it's like, uh, cynical has that, uh, spine of, uh, uh, flames on his back. He just physically pulls them down through a slot in his back. That's basically how it works. Anime, that's basically what it is. There's like four, like, four red spots on his back in the anime that the flames shoot out of and then maybe go away. Alright, it is confirmed. Bruce is a piggy bank. Oh no.
00:54:50
Speaker
So, yeah, you guys have four tickets. I take it you're dispersing them between everyone. Yeah. Okay, so everyone has one ticket. It is for the date says day after graduation 10 p.m. I'm sorry. We're taking the night train. 10 p.m. train costs half as much as the 10 a.m. train.
00:55:13
Speaker
It's like the opposite of going to the movies where the leader is showing some more expensive. It is. So, yep, you guys all can add a train ticket to your, to your... Oh, do we get bags? Because last I heard, we didn't have bags. Just have a held item. Um, that is true. Uh, I'm gonna say you can hold onto it because it's a piece of paper. It doesn't make sense if Bruce can't hold two pieces of paper or make one. Fair enough.
00:55:42
Speaker
Until you guys get, like, official bags. Yeah, if it's, like, a piece of paper, it doesn't really count towards it, because, I mean, come on, isn't one piece of paper too heavy for you to carry? Yes. Bruce cannot carry more than one piece of paper in a ton. Have you seen Bruce's hands? They're, like, nubs. Yeah, it takes both my hands just to carry one piece of paper. This piece of this isn't a paper. This is a... it's a train brick. We'll just tie it into a piece of string and make it a necklace. There you go.
00:56:11
Speaker
Yup. So, alright, Mr. Farnsworth says, are you guys actually going to go up to Sea Blair then? I don't see why not. Maybe she can help us figure out if there's some kind of disaster or something coming. And, you know, she's an Absolv, and that's a thing Absolv can do. Okay, so in that case, I'm going to send word up to Volkenberg that she should be expecting some visitors.
00:56:41
Speaker
And he appears over the ticket. He's like, oh, right. That's today. Okay. Yeah, I'll let uh, I'll I'll let her know that you will be on your way in a couple days and He's like, all right. That's that's all I have for you. Uh, I'm gonna go back to napping now. So two it'll do Then she heads out
00:57:02
Speaker
Bye Mr. Dr. Sumo. Bye Charles. Bye Charles. Why do you call him Charles? I gave him the first name and you didn't accept it, but you said I could call him that. That was Mr. Dr. Sumo, I think. We all say goodbye to Mr. Dr. Sumo though. Mr. Dr. Sumo is still standing there, but uh... Well, I was just trying to get him to leave. Whoops. Hi Mr. Paul. Yeah.
00:57:31
Speaker
Yeah, he looks at you, he's like, oh, I'm still here. Are you sure you guys don't want to check out that rift? I mean, that's fine. I don't really want to be, you know, become dead. I don't want to become dead. I wouldn't. I think we're staying away from that. Yeah. Okay, cool. I wouldn't mind going to it, but if you guys don't want to, I won't either, I guess. Okay. We didn't see what you saw, Bruce, but
00:58:01
Speaker
I also was just so scared I couldn't see anything. Okay, so, do you guys have anything else to say to Mr. Dr. Shmoop? Go for another high five and say later. I'll just thank you so much for everything. Oh, yeah, of course. And he sees Sammy going for a high five and I want you to roll acrobatics, which I think is cool.
00:58:28
Speaker
Nope. It is acrobatics now. It was strength before. Uh, was it? Uh, where is acrobatics? Uh, strength is athletics. It is cool. I think you're going to have to dodge this time rather than throwing a deck. Oh, I already rolled a four. I'm not hitting nothing. Oh no, please. Okay, actually no. Uh, so he rolled a six. So you guys go for a high five, but somehow you guys miss.
00:58:56
Speaker
Nice. His hand is so big. Yeah, you jump up for a high five because his hands are so high up and you guys just miss and Sammy goes face planting down onto the ground. I'm okay. I told you about high five and people twice your height.
00:59:14
Speaker
But I like high-fiving people. You know that classic saying never high-five someone twice your height. That's a Ralph saying if I've ever heard one.
00:59:27
Speaker
Yeah, so, Mr. Dr. Sumo waves you bye. Mr. Dr. Sumo waves you guys goodbye, and he heads off back towards home. Hey, this was more of a calmer conversation than I was expecting. I thought Mr. Dr. Sumo would be more panicked. I don't know, he had a day to sail over. I don't think Mr. Dr. Sumo's really had it sink in exactly what happens yet, so.
00:59:51
Speaker
Okay, well, to be fully transparent with you guys, Mr. Dr. Sumo doesn't fully believe you guys. He just saw that four of us collapsed. I think that's enough to be panicked about. That's what we're looking at. Maybe you guys are just attention-seeking teens. You think Bruce is an attention-seeking teen? I think every teacher would know that's not true.
01:00:16
Speaker
I think so too. So, uh, I'm just sitting in the corner and I'm sitting next to him like, hi! Look at him! Give him attention!
01:00:29
Speaker
Okay, so you guys as mr. Dr. Sumo walks away we are actually going to skip forward a couple days um this is similar to like I don't know if you guys have played Gen 9 yet, but once you get through the basic tutorial and What's that school called like Avi or Ovi or something like that? Depends on your version. I played Violet so
01:00:53
Speaker
Here there's Naraka and Uwa. Uwa. So, alright. Uwa. Purple Academy, that's what I'm calling it, because, yes. So, it's similar to Purple Academy, where you learn everything purple, and... Welcome to purple school. I got my PhD in purple. You see that color? Yeah, that's purple.
01:01:18
Speaker
I know that, because I'm Dr. Purple. You see that color there? That's violet. It's slightly different from purple. That one there? That's indigo. Oh, that's lavender.
01:01:34

Well, so far we've released, uh, recorded 7 episodes, and she hasn't quite made an appearance yet, so at least until episode 8. At very least, I don't plan for her to appear for a while, but knowing this so, I have no idea.

Graduation Day: Quirky Ceremony
01:03:41
Speaker
You all four are standing in front of the school once again. It's almost like you guys never moved. Whoa, crazy. You actually just don't wait. I know, right? And we start time lapsing. I expect a few days that was. We're standing there for three days.
01:03:57
Speaker
I so want to make that true, but I know that you guys have me standing up for so long Yeah, no you guys do not for as much as I want that to happen you guys do not in fact stand everything For three days straight What a three days that was
01:04:25
Speaker
It's almost like nothing happened in those three days. Jesus, you broke me again. Okay, so you guys are in a large crowd of people who are lining up in an array. I'm actually trying to remember how my graduation went. So it's just you like standing up front of the school, as you walk up, one of the teachers,
01:04:51
Speaker
I don't know. Because we already have them established. Mr. Farnsworth gives you a slip of paper. Each of you a slip of paper and it has a number and a letter on it. Walter has one that says E4. Hikaru has one that says E5 and then E6 and E7. So you guys are all standing in front of each other. That would mean we all have last names very close to each other because that's where that goes by.
01:05:19
Speaker
uh oh yeah that is right well well it doesn't matter i'm too lazy to think of serial numbers just based off of your last names you guys are sitting next together whether or not your last name is close together which is not
01:05:36
Speaker
I go by friend groups. You four? Yeah, you guys are close to sit together. Yeah, I think in college, we didn't line up in any particular order. I'd think of high school graduation, because in college, I will still end up by last name, honestly. College was just last name by school, because you had the different schools for different majors. Yeah, I never went to college. Because college was too big. Oh, right. That makes sense. It probably had different graduations for the different schools.
01:06:05
Speaker
and how they do that. You know, I'm very close to just saying that the school only has two teachers. I was about to say the same thing because you're only making two people here.
01:06:18
Speaker
Well, I mean, those are the ones we use, and those are just the ones I keep reusing. I was expecting, like, a principal to be at the server. Yeah, principal. Nope. Mr. Dokus from those now, principal. Principal, Mr. Dokus. All of us are on the small side. So I'm just wondering, like, if there's an onyx in the line. My gosh. Actually, that's a good idea. You guys are not lined up by last name, but by size. So you guys actually have numbers that say A1, 2, 3, and 4. So you guys are saying in the very front, because you guys are miniscule.
01:06:49
Speaker
Okay, who's shortest? Nice. Who's shortest anyway? I think Bruce is. Probably Bruce. Yeah, let me do a quick check. I think Munchlax is the tallest. Yeah. I'm like two foot. So, people is only one foot eight. I think that might also be what Pikachu is though. Pikachu is one four. So Pikachu is the shortest. And what about Riolu?
01:07:17
Speaker
I think it was like two feet tall, I think? Yeah. Two-four, yeah. Two-four? Okay. He was a full foot taller than Hikaru.
01:07:29
Speaker
Yeah, and then Munchlax is two feet. Yeah, he stares down at you guys like, ha, pathetic. And you guys are lined up in line. And Mr. Dr. Shuma, just for everyone to follow him, and you guys head out onto the battlefield. I make that sound like it's a war. This is just a battlefield for battling. I'm just having trauma flashbacks at this point. Yes. Told you I never wanted to come back to this field. Come with, we are going.
01:08:00
Speaker
We're going into those points. Oh no, not again. Do the trick. No, it's not. So you guys head onto the field and you see there's like a stage, a temporary stage with a podium on top of it and there's an array of chairs sitting in front of it.
01:08:17
Speaker
You guys make your way up to the front of the array of chairs, and you guys sit down next to each other. Doesn't matter who sits next to who, I really don't care, because it doesn't matter. After everyone gets settled down, Mr. Dr. Sumo, actually no, what's a good president of the school? Decidueye. Oh, I kinda like decidueye. Principal, cool. Sounds cool. Yeah, it works.
01:08:46
Speaker
Or, uh, dropeus. Couple feathers. Hmm. Hold on, what? Principal Barbenheimer. Barbenheimer? Oh god. Eli, what did you say? I said a trophy that says the Pokémon for the principal.
01:09:02
Speaker
I kind of like, I kind of like, uh, this is why it looks more formal and yeah. So does have a tie. Yup. That's it. Yup. That's his name. So principal barbenheimer. Cause it's up on stage. That's going to be dated real quick. Not a break. I'm already now principal barbenheimer.
01:09:30
Speaker
so i guess you know how long i've been how long i've been planning this oh no the first name is barb no it's just principal often today we are learning about bombs
01:09:49
Speaker
Today we are learning about very pretty bombs. It's a she. It's a very pink Decidueye. She's very interested in bombs. So everyone calls her Principal Barbenheimer. Her real name is Claire.
01:10:06
Speaker
that her real name is just bradley very very yes so professor barbenheimer gets up on this stage and ah crap i don't actually have anything prepared for this so y'all graduate each here yep graduation number three we gather here today
01:10:32
Speaker
Gail Beach is a wonderful institution where we teach kids things and y'all have learned those things. Good job. Here's your diploma. Yes, we are gathered. Oh wait, no, it's a she, sorry. Not bad. No, she has a very deep voice. We're going with it. We are gathered here today to celebrate the graduation of the class of 1PXX. The 19XX.
01:11:02
Speaker
I lost the paper that told me the year this is, so I don't actually know. We are gathered here today to celebrate the graduation of year blank. Right, let's get this started. A-1, step up to the podium, please, and I'm going to set that to Hikaru. So Hikaru gets out of her seat and kind of skips up to the stage.
01:11:32
Speaker
Alright, roll me athletics. No, roll me dexterity. Dexterity, what roll is that? I think it's cool. Cool, okay. Uh, wait. Yeah, dexterity. Yeah, dexterity. Three. Three? Oh, you get up to the stave, you trip, and hit, uh, Mr. Bark- Mrs. Barkenheimer.
01:11:58
Speaker
Sorry! Right. Okay. And he butters under his breath. But these don't even deserve this. She, right? Yeah, sorry. I keep getting that confused because I'm using a deep voice with a female character. It's throwing me off. And I did this to myself, so I've got no one else to blame for that. So, Ms. Barbenheim. God.
01:12:27
Speaker
I hate this character. Good thing we never ever see her again. Come back to the school because she's a pink decidueye that has a voice of a trucker. And her name is... That is very interested in the move seed bomb. I'm getting it as strong as possible.
01:12:59
Speaker
yes she spends her spare time developing a hydrogen bomb nuclear bombs don't exist in the pokemon world well electric guitars exist and they don't need amplifiers so who knows
01:13:15
Speaker
Right, so Hikaru gets her diploma handed to her. Uh, you shake the hand of Mr... Sorry, jeez, I keep following myself up. Mrs. Barbenheimer. And you step down on the stage and take a seat. Next up is A2, so that would be Sammy. Uh, shut up, it's Sammy. Sammy is sitting in A3.
01:13:41
Speaker
I wasn't next, but I'll go up, I guess. Yeah, sure. Alright, yeah, sure. Alright, roll me dexterity. What? I'm not skipping. Nope, roll me dexterity. Dexterity is... It's cool. It's cool, I'm not cool. Okay.
01:14:00
Speaker
I rolled a 13. A 13? All right, nothing happens. So you get up to the podium and you shake your hands with Mrs. Barbenheimer. Congratulations, here's your diploma. And she hands you a rolled up piece of paper. And as you unroll it, it literally just says diploma and nothing else in common. Ew, I got my diploma. It's a real investigation.
01:14:29
Speaker
Smack roll and I don't know. All right. That's two. I believe it. It's in comic sans Good Down
01:14:49
Speaker
All right, and as you sit down, Mrs. Barbara Heimer says, all right, A3, that will be Hikaru. No, no, sorry, Hikaru already went, ah, ah, crap. Kyle, you can go again. Go get another one. It's Bruce. Bruce is just gonna calmly walk up looking very mildly annoyed at the entire situation. Rolled X, there it is.
01:15:18
Speaker
Oh, annoyed are you. I was a 17. Alright, yeah. Yeah, you do a... You do a... Alright, how does Bruce look cool going up to this podium? He doesn't even try to look cool or anything. He's got like this interesting kind of thing that just makes people go wild for no reason. It's because his eyes are closed. Everyone's like, man, he's so mysterious.
01:15:47
Speaker
So, this is Barbant Heimer. Shakes your hand. Gives you the diploma. Congratulations, Bruce. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Go sit down. He says, all right, A4, that'll be Walter. And Walter got an 18 for his dexterity roll, so he just is cool. He's cool as a Bruce. And... Just had to one up, Bruce.
01:16:11
Speaker
Yup. He throws on a pair of shades. He throws on a pair of shades, but turns out he was already wearing a pair of shades. So he gets up to the podium, and he just takes off a pair of shades like a cool guy he is. And the crowd goes wild. And... This is Barb and Hibern, hands in his diploma in Comic Sans, and he's like, congratulations, gotta get outta there, blah blah blah. And he goes and...
01:16:46
Speaker
uh by the way there's no one in the stadium but not even the parents parents didn't come why are there no parents here we flash back to the letters addressed to the parents uh there's one letter addressed to the students and one letter addressed to the parents uh there was a typo in which the uh parents received a letter that said the graduation was a day later
01:17:04
Speaker
This is the saddest graduation ever.
01:17:11
Speaker
And the students got the correct date. So all the parents are going to show up tomorrow on the wrong date, and there's just not going to be a graduation. The problem is, I think, Ruth would tell his parents when graduation, or tell his mom when graduation is. That's rough, buddy. Just so that he could tell her that he doesn't want to go to it.
01:17:33
Speaker
yeah sure whatever okay so uh uh you guys are sitting there for the next four hours as everyone goes through and miss miss barbanheimer slowly getting more and more bored with the graduation and once she gets to the last one uh that'll be z 99 and that's uh uh aaron and you see a slightly beaten up aaron
01:17:58
Speaker
and get up and walk walk over to the podium and miss barbeheimer just shoved his diploma in his hands like go goes it down that's the final one all right all right that's it for everyone bye and he just walks off gee gee and you guys are dismissed
01:18:21
Speaker
That was the wackiest graduation ever.
Closing Remarks and Farewells
01:18:24
