Introduction to 'Beat Our Quest'
00:00:00
Speaker
This is Beat Our Quest, an improvised comedy role-playing podcast using the Triangle Agency system.
Lunchroom Incident: Code Black
00:00:08
Speaker
And if the communal lunchroom starts to smell like microwaved fish, that's not an office faux pas. That's what we call a code black, and you need to get to the hazmat showers immediately.
00:00:25
Speaker
Tucker Dally Johnston as Stuart Stuart Burtmeier. Nate Valentine as Felix Fuzzworth. Ivana Maria Mendez-Babon as Barabel.
Encounter with Alexander Peepsy
00:00:41
Speaker
ah Last session was a really interesting one as the players real ah encountered Alexander Peepsy, a cartoonishly joyful tramp.
00:00:52
Speaker
His name is Alexander Peepsie. Oh, man, I wish we did intro shit. That'd be dope. He's Peepsie. He's Peepsie.
Hunting Peepsy and Memory-Altering Bear
00:01:01
Speaker
ah of This unusual fellow who eventually you realize was tied to a resident, an unusual teddy bear that caused people's ah upsetting memories and bad experiences to evaporate or ah be replaced by good feelings.
00:01:18
Speaker
ah They were called back to the agency to
Confronting Dark Memories at the Circus
00:01:20
Speaker
hunt them down. And eventually on their way, ah they each... were trapped in one of their own ah dark and horrifying memories. um They battled their way through them and then eventually continued through this chain of repression, made their way to a circus.
00:01:41
Speaker
And they see a young boy dragging that same teddy bear at his feet. Hey, I think that's Peepsie. You guys seeing what I'm seeing? Yeah, it looks like a smaller version of him and that teddy bear.
00:01:55
Speaker
Less wolf bites, though. Less, yeah. Do you think he paid for that teddy bear? Did he steal it? He seems like someone who would steal. oh there's a stand right over there where they're giving him away.
00:02:07
Speaker
Teddy bears! For free? For free or best offer! Alright, we need one. Well, like I was thinking more like a game where you throw balls and win a teddy bear, but yeah, I guess he's giving him away for free. Oh shit, I'm doing something wrong! That dude's getting fired today. Excuse me, sir?
00:02:28
Speaker
Sir? Excuse me, teddy bear? Are you approaching thing the teddy bear salesman or the little boy? the teddy bear salesman. Screw the little boy.
00:02:40
Speaker
I want my teddy bear. Oh, hi, madam. chi ah I've been handing these out, but recently it's come to my attention that I'm supposed to make you do something for this. um do you want to throw this ball at Jerry here? And if you hit him, I'll give you another bear, i guess. sorry. Are you telling me that you've been giving the teddy bears for free to men? But when a woman approaches you, you're just not going to give me a teddy bear?
00:03:04
Speaker
Hey, I don't want to tell you how to busk your wares there, sir, but this is clearly a trap. I'm gonna just give you this bear so I don't have to keep this conversation going any further. You are so sweet. Thank you so much.
00:03:18
Speaker
I love you.
Mission Commendations and Demerits
00:03:20
Speaker
Just to get it back in your guys' mind's eye, as you remember, you were on a mission, which means there are mission bonus commendations, and there are also mission demerits. Oh, shit. I forgot about the demerits. So some commendations are if you get a place in somebody's will, ah you'll earn three commendations. You're going to get two commendations if you appropriately quote a movie, which ah Stubert has already done successfully. And you're going five commendations if you manage to cheat at chess. Okay.
00:03:46
Speaker
You will also receive two demerits if you incorrectly quote a movie and one demerit for damage to any type of public or private property. Oh, crap.
00:03:57
Speaker
um Did I not get credit for my sick role models quote last time? Oh, I guess you maybe did and i did not catch that. If you did, then you're good too. i said one too. I can't remember what it was. And then just really quickly to re-remind everyone, what are your own personal character demerits? Things that you are not allowed to do. I'll have everyone just go straight to grade grubbing.
00:04:17
Speaker
Mine is uncover what someone really needs, reinvent the wheel, and change someone's life permanently. And what is your demeritable offense? Repeating myself.
00:04:29
Speaker
um Stubert's prime directive, they wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. Each time you deny a request, receive one demerit. Never say unfortunately or deliver bad news.
00:04:42
Speaker
ah Help someone unburden themselves, take the blame for something you didn't do, and connect someone to an unexpected fate. Like I just did I taught that man about sexism. ah Oh, he knew about it. Well, I'll find someone one else.
Strategy to Retrieve Stolen Teddy Bear
00:05:02
Speaker
Hey, Felix, you seem like a real go-getter, just sort of like a, I don't want to say company, man, but um I think we might need to separate that child there from that teddy bear, and I don't know if I'm ah capable of doing that.
00:05:18
Speaker
Do you think you'd have the chutzpah to go up and steal a child's favorite toy from him?
00:05:29
Speaker
You know, i would. um And after last time, why don't you just stand behind me and not get in the way? i remember what happened. With the gun. Oh, sure. Last time we were sure ah dealing with an anomaly. I'll stand behind you. You know, i it's a lot of lot of mistakes were made. Lots of accidents happened. lot ins, lot outs.
00:05:51
Speaker
You guys, as soon as you start walking towards the child, you see the teddy bear make a little move, and it tilts its head, and it glares at
Clown Anomalies and Tactical Confrontation
00:06:02
Speaker
you. You you see the little eyes kind of close over against the button eyes, and it blinks twice,
00:06:09
Speaker
And you hear this, da dot da dotda da da da da that that and I'm going to spend nine chaos no to summon three anomalies.
00:06:21
Speaker
What? Three minor anomalies are going to come tumbling it. It's a little tiny clown car comes and it pops the trunk and three clowns that are like teddy bears come pouring out of it. One is giant and fat. One is really skinly, like skinny and uncomfortably tall. And there's a little short pudgy one. And they all are going to start charging at each one of you individually.
00:06:43
Speaker
um Before or while this is happening, I have my teddy bear and I did not engage with said child. I would just like to describe what I was doing. Right as these clowns appeared. Sure. I'm going to take out one of my small daggers from my purse and turn the teddy but bear around and stab it in the back and open it and just keep yelling, do you have a voice box? Do you have a voice box? If I learned something from my sister is to take the voice box out first. Oh, right. I remember her sister. Not a human being, I think, is the implied thing her.
00:07:25
Speaker
My sister, Annabelle. No, it's just ah it's just a cuddly little teddy bear. ah there is a There actually will be a little thing in there, and it just you you it's like a little plastic heart that goes, I love you. i don't! And I just rip it out and throw it away.
00:07:39
Speaker
You smash that teddy bear. No, the teddy bear is like the like limp, like just there, but without the voice box or the filling. Paul, the teddy bear is just a vessel for the phylactery that is the teddy bear's heart. That's a great question. Is it a teddy bear horcrux? We'll be going over that in our ah Sec Backstory podcast. If anyone's interested, now's the time we'll pitch a Patreon.
00:08:04
Speaker
ologies I know this does not move the story forward, but it was very important to me. I, you know, i have come to accept with the three of you, usually when you're doing something psychopathic, there is some weird underlying reason you've decided to do it. Uh, Stubert.
00:08:19
Speaker
Yeah. The large, tall clown comes and just leans over you. um and he goes, hey, kid, wanna see a trick? And he just starts pulling scarves out of his mouth and wrapping them around you.
00:08:36
Speaker
Oh, that's bad. Um, yeah i gotta I gotta use unbound. In your way or holding you back, relax your body, roll subtlety. I still have subtlety, right? Yes, I do still have subtlety.
00:08:52
Speaker
but Come on, threes. ah whammy's No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. I got one threes. Add all that chaos. That's successful. I will get five more chaos.
00:09:04
Speaker
Unless you want to spend some. all of that gro um ah m No. That's fine. So you are unbound and you swing. ah You are as like a ghost. What would you like to do in this moment?
00:09:20
Speaker
They came out of a clown car, right? Can I? is he the Is he still taking scarves out of his mouth? Yeah. Can I um
00:09:34
Speaker
wrap the scarves sort of around him and run over and then tie the scarves to the steering wheel of the clown car? Awesome. Yeah, for sure.
00:09:45
Speaker
Yeah, he's he's at and it's like is actually like his tongue. And so he's now like, look, look, look. And he can't get away from this this car. He's been bound up as you've been unbounded.
00:09:57
Speaker
Nate, the big fat one is slowly like waddling over to you, and he's letting out like a big giggly chuckle, and he starts filling up a balloon. I would like to...
00:10:12
Speaker
I'm going to use would you like some more? And um so, yeah, i say I say would you like some more, and then I'm going to roll my d6 and see what happens here. While I'm rolling, I would like to point out, Paul, this is the second time in two seasons that you've done spooky stuffed animals. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, the teddy bear's not spooky. Not anymore. Well, you know, what do what do they say about authors? Two times is a coincidence. Three times it's a kink.
00:10:43
Speaker
So you're on notice. got two threes. i got two threes Do you want to ah spend any QAs to make that three so that I don't get any chaos? Oh, is that all I have to do is get three? Yeah, then I will definitely do that. I will spend one dynamism. That's a good way to do it.
00:11:05
Speaker
So rather than me getting four, k you know. Yeah, yeah, that seems
Creative Solutions Against Anomalies
00:11:08
Speaker
worth it. I thought it was, yeah, I thought I had to roll a natural... triumvirate or whatever um cool so i'm gonna say uh on the car ride over that that bear was eating ice cream and i'm going to the clown yeah oh clown sorry i thought there clowns that looked like stuffed bears oh yes yeah yeah yeah they're clown bears the clown bears okay the The clown bear was um was eating ice cream, um and he is now very interested in ice cream. Okay.
00:11:39
Speaker
And it doesn't create an addiction or a compulsion. Okay, that's kind of a bummer. ah But it does make that thing if it's available so into leverage or distraction beyond its worth. So, you know, there's there's probably an ice cream truck nearby, right? There's got to be. So I'm just trying to distract him. and So he's like not compelled, but he like has a need for it. Is that what it is? It's some kind of like a. It's not even it's not even a need. It's just a distraction, quote unquote, beyond its worth. OK, so I'm going to say this. He's he's like gets up right close to you with the the balloon. He's almost going to pop it in your face. And then he hears like an ice cream truck in the distance. Yes. And he slowly turns and he slowly starts walking towards the car to drive the car to get to the ice cream.
00:12:23
Speaker
Yes. Great. Ivana, you have been ripping up this little teddy bear. I'm holding my dagger. And pulling out the heart. And then you look over and there's a teddy bear staring right in your face. And he's got a flower and he's just about to blast you with some kind of a fluid from it.
00:12:42
Speaker
Great. ah Some kind of a fluid. It's probably water. Hold me up. Sorry, let me just make sure i use the best ability.
00:12:53
Speaker
the fifth I like that laugh. i don't like that fucking laugh. I'm gonna say, what's that over there? and to try And ideally what I want is a tube, little tube that comes out of where the liquid would come out of the flower.
00:13:13
Speaker
But instead it goes and connects into his ear. Like crazy straw. like Like, oh, that's so specific. Like a crazy straw. Oh, I love it. do you want it to spell like bearabelle? Oh, with a bear.
00:13:25
Speaker
Bearabelle. Oh, that's so good. Whoa. Now we've got our first merch item. All right, roll. Roll them bones. Do you have burnout? i don't know.
00:13:36
Speaker
I just roll and then I figure it out. oh Let's see. This is... Attentiveness. You do have burnout. ah
00:13:47
Speaker
That's three threes. Try senders.
00:13:54
Speaker
Okay, so to remind everyone what a trisendence provides, super exciting. You can add any number of threes to this roll. You can replenish up to three QAs.
00:14:07
Speaker
Or you can receive three commendations. Commendations! Oh! She's going for your mpp MVP track. I just know I won't be able to complete any of the other missions. No one's going to want to place me on their will. You know? Like, it's fine. Yeah. Okay, just remember to keep track of that. ah Do you get any other bonuses for any additional threes or anything like that?
00:14:33
Speaker
Probably. ah i'm just... Sorry, I'm writing three commendations. I didn't mean to come off sassy. The success, you create an object where you're pointing. It can be any mundane thing you can imagine that fits comfortably and harmlessly inside the space. Great. ah For each additional three, you may add another object nearby. Just another object, period?
00:14:54
Speaker
Yeah, I guess so. You can add two more objects. um Okay. Great. So I'm going to create two small bricks.
00:15:05
Speaker
Not small. Regular sized. Two regular sized bricks. like bri are going to Two brick sized bricks. I'm going to put them right in front of the front wheels of this car that they came in. Okay.
00:15:20
Speaker
What's your intention? to He can't leave. Oh, I thought you to do the opposite and put it on the accelerator and have it drive off. No, I can't see inside the car. I guess that's fair. Okay, great. So there are like cement blocks, I assume. is Correct.
00:15:34
Speaker
In front of the tires of the car. Cement block sized bricks. Cement block sized bricks. And the, well, firstly, so the one clown goes, uh-huh, uh-huh, and he squeezes a little thing, and you watch as this, like, fluid goes all the way around and just blasts himself in the head, and this whole head just dissolves.
00:15:52
Speaker
Horrifying. Well, it's Tuddy Bear, so, like, stuffing falls out. There's no, like... Still horrifying. off I'm gonna look at and be like, i have some extra. Do you want this one? Extra? From one I just ripped open. Oh, got it, got it. Jesus Christ.
00:16:07
Speaker
The one who is compelled to chase after the ice cream um and is deeply distracted by it eventually, he like, tucks his way into the front seat of the car and starts revving the engine, and he just cannot seem to get it going because of the bricks. But then eventually he looks back, realizes there's nothing there, puts it reversed, and drives away.
00:16:23
Speaker
Dragging the scarf tongue. The other one is being dragged along and just, like, torn apart. Little bits of teddy bear stuffing are torn out of the way.
00:16:34
Speaker
All right. There's Clown Puzzle.
00:16:40
Speaker
I forgot about reverse. Yeah. I was wondering me what your big plan was with two. You see this little boy um and he's holding the teddy bear and he looks like he's talking to it.
00:16:53
Speaker
And then he gives it a big hug. And you watch him kind of toddle his way into the circus tent. As you see that happen, the teddy bear waves its little paw at you, and you feel the ground just pull in distance. Huge space, as though it was being just being stretched apart. You feel like the tent is further and further away as the teddy bear is expanding his domain.
Challenges in Approaching Boy and Bear
00:17:18
Speaker
This might be a stretch. I still have Unbound for an hour.
00:17:22
Speaker
Well, you pass directly through it, you become intangible and can move easily through walls, chains, and other obstructions. Is a lengthening of space an obstruction? Uh, no. Fuck.
00:17:41
Speaker
Never mind. I start to sprint. Um, I want to connect us to our... my whole music volume one ah guys um i just have a question about our intention um do we like this little boy well he's a little boy i mean sure there there are little kids who are like you know little little scamps pardon my french but um you know
00:18:16
Speaker
a it kids are gonna kids, you And so... you know and so We don't need to. We don't. Are you threatening the boy? Yeah, I don't like the tone of this. I respect your opinion, but ah Felix looks like someone who has really spent a lot of time with children. he just seems like that kind of soul. So, like, I just, I kind of want to hear from him how he feels about this child. i actually haven't spent any time with children ever.
00:18:47
Speaker
but yeah Stop lying. I grew up on a farm with old man farmer, you know? i don't know what to tell you. You have, like, babysitter face. Babysitter face. What are we doing here? why Why are you asking if we like the kid? I don't want to do anything. I don't want to be hurting kids here. oh This is a PG-13 podcast. I just thought we could set the tent on fire.
00:19:10
Speaker
or um well. Eliminate the bear. Tata, problem solved. We go back. Time for brunch. um Really go for a mimosa. i You know, there are no bad ideas in the waiting room.
00:19:28
Speaker
um What if we put a pin in that one, though? We're going straight to burning. Yeah. Like, what if we just try to separate the child from the bear?
00:19:40
Speaker
Or, you know, maybe, maybe we can, maybe we can talk to the bear and see sort of, you know, what it, what it wants. Maybe it's, you know, it's, it's trying it's, it's best to protect the kid, but it, you know, it's, it's getting some things wrong. You know what I mean? You guys know what I'm saying? You know?
00:19:57
Speaker
Well, you know, we tried your way of talking to the anomaly last time. That's true. And it escaped. I don't know exactly did that. I feel like we skipped straight to gun. So where our our our mission our mission is not to kill any kids.
00:20:09
Speaker
Our mission is to kill anomalies. Okay, but he didn't specify we couldn't. We can be friends friends with a kid. We can't be friends with the anomalies. So we got either capture it. We got a suitcase, Stuber. If you don't want to kill it, we just got to go in there with a suitcase. Okay, but plan C, you have to promise me that plan C is tent on fire.
00:20:30
Speaker
Can like plan Q be tent on fire? Yeah, I actually was going to say the same thing. Let's go what's she let's call it a backup plan of all backup plans.
00:20:43
Speaker
It's the ultimate backup point. That's our last possible solution is burning down the tent and killing a child. that Come on. Okay, fine. When you pop back to reality, Stubart, I'm going to spend five chaos.
00:21:05
Speaker
Yeah. No. I'm going to no bring somebody from your life into this world. When you no no wake up no from this meeting, you look over and you see Meredith is at one of the games.
00:21:24
Speaker
ah Just, you know, playing and like a dart game, trying to pop balloons. ah I'm going to stop sprinting and go up to Meredith.
00:21:37
Speaker
Rory! What are you doing here? What are you doing here? I asked you first. No, I... What are you doing here? i worry I'm doing a little game. I'm playing a game right now. That's not... it We're not doing games.
00:21:49
Speaker
Meredith. You ever play Darty Poppy? That's an Irish game, right? This is such... ah You know every child from Belfast has grown up playing Darty Poppy. Darty Poppy. I'm going to take them for so much money. They have no idea what they're up to.
00:22:06
Speaker
I'm not entirely sure that they understand money here. They're just giving bears away. By the way, have you seen any bears moving around? Because if you do, you need to get away from it as fast as possible.
00:22:19
Speaker
I don't think I've seen any bears. I've just seen the one bear with the kid when I came into the fair, but... Now, wait. When did I get here? yup Rory, when did I get here? I understand.
00:22:33
Speaker
Listen. Listen to me very carefully. You're just having a weird dream. Thinking about your old friend Rory, and I'm your subconscious. Oh, subconscious Rory. Yes, Meredith.
00:22:47
Speaker
Subconscious. Subconscious Rory. Do you think... Do you think a real lord Rory likes me? He... Oh. You know, Meredith, I'd say that haste he's pretty fond of you.
00:23:03
Speaker
That's Nate. Maybe if I see him again, I just miss him. i think he I think he probably misses you too. You have two more darts, and I would love to not be a part of this conversation. If you could just throw those and leave my game. There's no rule that says that there's a time limit on Darty Poppy.
00:23:23
Speaker
Yeah, you bastard. I'm going to leave with these two darts. ah So she is walking with you through the circus. Felix. Yes. You're there. Shit. I'm there. And you see this skeletal looking man. He's old and the skin is hanging off of his face, but there's no extra fat. And he goes, looks, and he goes, hi, kid.
00:23:46
Speaker
How are you doing today? oh I'm I was doing OK. How are you? opposed How are you? Great. Do you want to play my game?
00:23:58
Speaker
I can guess your age, and i if you can guess my weight. and he And he looks you in the eyes, deeply. ah Pretty bad at weights, but ah okay. I'm looking around at everyone else for support, but I guess they're preoccupied. Good, because I'm looking for something that's heavy.
00:24:17
Speaker
And hard to forget. And he looks into your eyes. We're going to go to a flashback. Fuck. Felix. Okay. Who of one of your NPCs or any point in time is ah like a heavy experience that you maybe remember? A heavy experience? Yeah. Like emotionally heavy in one way or another. How heavy do we want to go? I mean, it doesn't. He's asking for a six out of ten. I'm not i'm not looking for this to be a trauma episode. He's asking for six out of ah How about, um you know, the time ah I had a friend on the farm. It was a cow.
00:24:53
Speaker
Her name was ah Marianne. And Marianne, the cow, got sick and and the farmer had to put her down. And it was the first time I had ever had one of my farm friends put down by the farmer.
00:25:08
Speaker
who well he We get to pivot this. Old Man Grissom and Ivana, you're going to be playing Marion the Cow, and we're going to have you explain, you Marion, you're going to try to get ah Old Man Grissom to delay ah this.
00:25:21
Speaker
Jesus Christ. Oh, God. ah and Obviously, Marion the Cow can't speak. She just moves. no, but this is... No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Do whatever. Don't. You think you could do that, Ivana? Hell, yeah. Great.
00:25:36
Speaker
Sorry. Hell, yeah. Moo. Well, almost done with all the choring for today. Felix, you could probably head inside, my little buddy, and you probably don't want to see what this next part is going to do. I know you're pretty close with Mary in here, but I think her her time has come.
00:25:56
Speaker
What do you mean her time has come? You know... Mary Ann got a little sick. I noticed when I was doing my cow-ing the other day that her milk wasn't milking right.
00:26:12
Speaker
See that? What do you mean? Mary Ann was just telling me that she was going to be fine, that you guys were going to have the vet come out and and that we were going to be able to play in the field tomorrow. Yeah, well, the vet did come out.
00:26:28
Speaker
I had to bring them out to the pasture of the neighboring farm so they wouldn't know where we live. Don't let them know where you live. But okay the vet said that, ah yeah, Mary Ann's got what's what's known as
00:26:47
Speaker
bad cow. Bad cow? Yeah, she's got bad cow in her. Really quickly, really quickly. I want to cut to the veterinarian now talking to old man Grissom. I think she looks healthy. It turns out she's a bit of kleptomaniac. That's what's problem. She's been stealing from your farm. She's been taking my stuff.
00:27:06
Speaker
Yeah, now I think we can, with some therapy and some negotiation, we can stop this trip. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, if you're talking crazy, Doc. You're talking crazy. What you're telling me is I got a bad cat. I guess society and morals would say theft is bad. I knew it was suspicious that one of my galoshes kept on walking its way out into the hay bales.
00:27:35
Speaker
Well, Doc, that's all I need you for. I don't need any more of your services, and I'm going to pay you in cash right now, and you're going to forget we ever had this conversation. is what Yeah, you got it. That's great. The briefcase was a lot. Thank you. I'm going to go get that bad cow.
00:27:51
Speaker
Mealix.
00:27:55
Speaker
Mealix. Yeah, Marianne? It's the old man car keys. Keep him safe. Ha, ha, ha. um I'll treasure them forever. I'll never tell him.
00:28:07
Speaker
Thank you. Felix, you seen my gosh dang car keys? the The old man sees that and he pulls this thread ah from your head and he looks at it and goes, yeah, that's a that's a six weight.
00:28:20
Speaker
Thank you very much for playing. And he fades away and he leaves a little teddy bear with you. On the back of it, it has the words from mom and dad. Me? The teddy bear.
00:28:33
Speaker
Yeah, okay. You on your back, all of a sudden tattooed. Mom and dad. was already there. All right. Am I keeping this? t Like, the teddy bear is in my possession now? If you want. It's a clue. It's a clue. okay it's good Oh, no. It's a clue. Oh, no. Paul. Is there any place in this carnival I can get a mimosa?
00:29:00
Speaker
Is there a place in this carnival I can get a mimosa? No, it's a circus. You get maybe a beer, but it's popcorn, cotton candy. Oh my goodness, beers make me feel bloated. and The three of you gather as you slowly walk over time and you make your way to the tent where um you watched Alexander Peepsy run in.
00:29:24
Speaker
you When you get there, you see ah the the gate not the gates the flaps of the tent open up, and you just see the word mirrors on the front with a single door. Oh,
00:29:37
Speaker
I'm gonna stop them before we all walk in and take out my lighter and just look at you in the eyes at both of you and go, huh? No, we're not to plan Q yet.
00:29:47
Speaker
Okay, fine. I'll hide it. Put it away. But it's here in my purse in case we need it. So, hey, you know, here's the thing. Why don't you guys go ahead in there?
00:30:02
Speaker
um I'm going to stay out here with Meredith. Meredith, don't mind the way I'm talking. That's just how I talk to my coworkers. Are you going to introduce us? No. Yes, I will introduce you. This is Meredith. yeah Meredith, these are people I work with. You've been introduced. um Enchanted.
00:30:24
Speaker
Hi, Meredith. Hi. So you've been working with Rory Long? Oh, that's his name. Um, sure. He's embarrassed.
00:30:35
Speaker
I'm not embarrassed. It's, uh... Listen, there's a a a... Child's safety is at stake here, right? So I think maybe we should go. But you guys should go into the hall with the mirrors. I don't do well with mirrors and...
00:30:52
Speaker
And I'll stay out here with Meredith in case he comes out. If you flush him out this way, I'll be able to, I'll get him. And I'll be like, ah, you little so-and-so. Yeah, you're causing some problems. And the boss wants a word. You know, and then we'll be hunky-dory. You guys just go ahead.
00:31:07
Speaker
All right, as long as you're, oh oh, as long as you are sure you're up for it. I don't want to keep harping on last time, but you really, what happened last time was a one-time deal and it's not going to happen. Who's got the suitcase, him or, or Barabell?
00:31:27
Speaker
Super Barabell? I don't have anything. and I wanted the gun and you didn't give it to me. I did not. That's true. I have the suitcase. yeah I'm going to take the suitcase. to You have the gun and the suitcase? Gun and the suitcase? i'll give it to I'm going to give the suitcase to Barabel. It's okay.
00:31:45
Speaker
i don't I already have a... Okay, fine. I am a woman. i am used to carrying a lot of bags. Great. Which one of you enters first? I can go in first. Great. Nate, can you roll me a d4? That is a one.
00:31:59
Speaker
Which is the best one, right? Felix, you... see something you really have never expected before. You see you're a perfect, idealized agent self.
00:32:12
Speaker
You look, you see yourself in the same sweet suit that the boss was wearing. You stare even more and you see that little fireplace that he had set up this one time. You see a secretary running to come to you and all these other things. And you're like, you're thrilled. You've never felt more powerful and confident. And then it shimmers away and it's replaced by you as just a little cat.
00:32:36
Speaker
Your pure self, just who you are your youre Who you are at your real, you know, who you're hiding from. And then the cat fades away and you see your anomaly.
00:32:48
Speaker
What does Felix's anomaly look like? Great question. let me ah look up the name of my anomaly real quick. Drain. You have the drain. Yeah, yeah. um and This is... Okay, yeah. Let me see. My anomaly um manifests to me as a Kind of like a cat, actually, um but but it has like a flowing, almost like a mermaid tail or like a, ah what's the word? like a
00:33:23
Speaker
Like a dratini tail, you know? Like ah it's it's like like a serpentine. Yeah, it's like 15 feet long, um and it does have very prominent like vampire fangs to go with like the drain aesthetic. Yeah.
00:33:37
Speaker
And that is Drain. You watch and you see this serpentine thing. It looks small. And it slowly begins to uncoil itself. And you start to realize how huge this snake thing is. And it begins to rear up. And it begins to block out the light source behind it. And it's an unusual effect because it's a mirror. And how is the reflection blocking out And you look behind you and it's not there.
00:34:02
Speaker
And it stares at you and goes, Felix. Felix. Yeah? Why do you avoid me? Haven't I helped you? Don't I do good things for you?
00:34:14
Speaker
Uh, I don't avoid you. We're... we're a team. What do you mean? We're a team, huh? Yeah. Are we?
00:34:25
Speaker
You haven't let me feed? Uh... You keep me hidden? In the dark? what do you What do you want to feed on? What are you hungry for?
00:34:37
Speaker
Let me out, Felix. It closes its eyes, and then it goes back down, and as it is about to lunge at you, the mirror shatters.
00:34:58
Speaker
And you take harm. Oh, boy. going to take a point of harm. Okay. And remind me where that manifests is. You can... So no matter what, you you can take a QA. When harmed, an agent can automatically expend one QA anywhere okay to prevent that harm from happening.
00:35:18
Speaker
um Okay, yeah. i'll I'll do... Well... Am I nearby? am I nearby to the... The bear, the bear anomaly?
00:35:30
Speaker
No, you don't know where it is. Okay, I'll just take the QA. I guess, ah yeah, I guess it would be sort of ironic or mind fucky to use my use my anomaly's ability to avoid damage from my anomaly, but that's what I was...
00:35:47
Speaker
it Sort of a tough one. I don't know if it would allow that. But it's actually not the anomaly doing it. It's the mirror. Oh, I see. It's shattering at you. So if you wanted to use your anomaly's power, I would like. Well, i did it has to be a nearby person. So if if I don't have an enemy nearby, i won't. So yeah, you do in this huge ah wedge of mirror, what do you call Shard? Feels too small. What would you describe like ah like a large piece of glass or mirror?
00:36:14
Speaker
Mega shard. Mega shard! A mega shard in your neck! And you pull out the shard and just only a little bit of that white ooze comes from it. But you see the metallic etching just stitch itself back up together again.
00:36:30
Speaker
And you drop the the mirror to the ground and the door to the ah the funhouse opens up as you can pass through. Ivana. No, that's great. ah what you What are you doing Well, I'm second to walk in through these doors.
00:36:47
Speaker
on But specifically what I'm doing, I'm checking if by any chance I brought my small cooler inside my purse. Your small cooler? But I don't think I brought it.
00:36:59
Speaker
so I'm just checking. Yeah, I just have like a small little like champagne bottle inside my cooler because I really want a mimosa. You could use your power. er Yeah, but like, I'm usually a prepared person. Like, I would bring my cooler.
00:37:17
Speaker
I just probably left it. Your character is exceptionally equipped to do this. You make your way. Can you roll a d4? and I absolutely can. Roll, no, not how many siblings does the Octomom have. Roll one d4.
00:37:33
Speaker
Hold up.
00:37:37
Speaker
Never mind. We don't have to hold up. I just needed that hold up moment for my brain to process the question that I don't need to ask. I constantly need to keep expanding my knowledge of middle children. And I was wondering if Octomom was a middle child. I don't think so. It's a two. You walk in and you see...
00:37:59
Speaker
What does Barabelle's idealized reality look like? If all of her her her career and and identity and dreams came true, what does the world look like? Because for me, it would I imagine your Nate character like sitting on essentially like a throne of skulls as like a queen heralded for like, you know, what is your envision?
00:38:23
Speaker
Same thing, except I'm not sitting in the throne. I'm standing right next to it. yeah My daughter is sitting on the throne and I'm standing right next to it with my arms arms crossed and a designer dress. Can we see that scene?
00:38:39
Speaker
We are on day 50. know and Like year 50. You're like living eternally. You've been granted immortality, to the
Visions of Idealized Futures
00:38:48
Speaker
two of you. All right, honey. So the citizens are coming again this morning and we have to be ready to hear their requests. You know, you can do whatever you want and I'm here to support you 1000, 1000, 100%. You keep saying I can do whatever I want, yeah but then, but then, you know, i just have to sit here and, you know, all these, all these kids come in and they're complaining about their older siblings and they're complaining about their younger siblings and i'm sick of it. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I did not think. Oh my. I'm so sorry. Do you want a standing desk?
00:39:22
Speaker
With like a little treadmill that you can just walk on? No, the sitting desk hurts my butt. The standing desk hurts my knees. It's not about that. It's not about that.
00:39:33
Speaker
Lyra, we can go aerial. We can get some ah some silks to drop down, and then we can just wrap you up. Oh my gosh, it's going to be so impressive for the citizens. They want to walk in and be like, oh my gosh, the ruler's flying. I don't know. it's It's more of a...
00:39:52
Speaker
it's just something, something's, I'm not feeling fulfilled anymore about, you know, imprisoning younger daughters and beheading older sons. Like the, we keep talking about equilibrium and middle children. And, and I don't know, sometimes i just want to be a normal kid.
00:40:12
Speaker
You know, I've been doing this for so long and I never really had, i feel like I never really had a chance to, to choose my path, ma. That's fair. And I hear you.
00:40:23
Speaker
And I feel like I haven't given you the freedom that you to deserve. Therefore, for today and one day only, i will personally be doing the beheading of the older children. Okay? So that way you don't have to worry about it. You can keep your hands clean.
00:40:40
Speaker
right? And then... You can just give them, like, the good news, and I'll come behind and like, you're done. It's gonna be so fun, mommy-daughter time! ah And then you see that, um but it just sort of fades away in the distance.
00:40:57
Speaker
No! Bring back! No!
00:41:02
Speaker
um You very quickly, you see yourself ah working at a desk. Mundane desk. You got a white shirt, black tie, just struggling. And over your shoulder, you see your anomaly. um The little, what was her name? Caddy?
00:41:18
Speaker
Loggy? It's a little book. yeah or no Yeah. But I forget what your, I named it, I named it. Logan. Logan. His name is Logan. And he look he's sitting over your shoulder. yeah You filled that paperwork out wrong, ma'am.
00:41:33
Speaker
You did that wrong. your No, other form. Go get the other form. Logan. Logan, I swear. It's been over 12 hours, and I haven't been able to go to the bathroom.
00:41:46
Speaker
Well, if you did it right the first time, I would let you get the form to go to the bathroom. Logan! And it wipes down, and you're standing there in the mirror. And then the mirror goes away, and you see Felix.
00:41:58
Speaker
And you can walk towards him, too, to see the boy.
00:42:04
Speaker
There you are There you are Just the way your station is insane but Felix Felix Did you also see Like a version of you In the mirror That you like know is gonna happen But like kinda not yet Actually i did Yeah I did I saw into my future At the agency Wait, you didn't get two futures?
00:42:37
Speaker
I saw two futures. I saw like option A, option B, and I want to go with option C and burn it all down again, but it's fine. That's option Q. I've never been good at filling out paperwork. I'm sorry. I can confuse my letters.
00:42:54
Speaker
We're going to cut back to Stubert and Meredith. So I still have... It hasn't been an hour yet, so I still have Unbound on. I can't take her with me.
00:43:06
Speaker
But... um If there's a way to get into the tent without going through the hall of mirrors, I'm going to want to do that. You would be able to go through because you're unbound. I would let you sneak through, but you wouldn't be able to take Meredith with you.
00:43:22
Speaker
Great. Great. So I need to say goodbye to Meredith real quick. God!
00:43:28
Speaker
Meredith, listen, it's been really lovely catching up in this definitely a dream that you're definitely having. um But I think it's time for you to go, and I gotta go deal with that child and the teddy bear, and I can't take you with me.
00:43:46
Speaker
Rory, I remember being here. I was here 28 years ago, however old that child is in reality. Whatever happens here is real.
00:43:59
Speaker
Oh, right. That's even more disconcerting. But you're going to have to let me deal with that. And you're going have to go and... and wake up.
00:44:14
Speaker
And I think, and I'm so sorry to do this to you, but if I could just... You remember that movie where you plant little seeds inside people's minds? When you wake up, could you put me in your will?
00:44:30
Speaker
Yeah, of course. I... You know, i I don't have much after they destroyed the pub, but I could give you what I have left. course, Rory. No, no, no.
00:44:42
Speaker
You could just, you could just give me, you could leave to me a song that you penned yourself. I don't, I, yeah. I'll do that for you, Rory. I'll write you a And that'd be lovely.
00:44:54
Speaker
Thank you. But I think you need to leave now. And I'm so sorry. All right. I'm going to watch the clowns. so to dooo do No, wait. You are able to skip the House of Mirrors if you want to.
00:45:07
Speaker
Yeah, I ain't going in there. I'm not talking to that guy. ah but you think you You make your way through, and if the mirrors are all like, you must, no, no, no, fuck, no, no, come back, whoa, what the fuck, no, oh, man. ah and you ah you are gathered with the two of them, standing in this big circus tent, and you see the little boy alone.
Encounter with Alex and the Bear
00:45:33
Speaker
Oh, gosh, that was crazy. ho Hey, guys, hey. Oh, well, this looks ominous. Hey. No, we know. Did you also see two futures? Oh, no, I went through the wall. I didn't go. I don't do mirrors, me and them. mean, you can tell. We don't have a full arrangement. We don't do mirrors. Yeah, we don't have to get into it. Hey, look, there's Alexander. When you say the name Alexander, the boy turns and goes,
00:46:01
Speaker
Hi, I'm Alex. Have you seen my parents? Oh, hey there, buddy. um You know, if you come with us, we can go look for him.
00:46:16
Speaker
You know what, together? Okay, I think... Okay, I was... They gave me a bear, and I lost him. i don't know where he went. Oh, there he is. And he points behind you. oh no. And you look. And a huge 15 foot tall bear.
00:46:37
Speaker
Regular huge bear. With big plastic button eyes. And huge paws that extend out further than they normally would.
00:46:50
Speaker
And it reaches out. What? No! And it grabs the two of you. It's going to crush Felix and Barabel. And a tremendous bear hug. How do why reflect that?
00:47:03
Speaker
Okay. That is going to be two points of harm to both of you. So can I just continue to QA as long as I want? As long as you have QAs left. Okay. you can remove prevent two points of harm.
00:47:15
Speaker
If an agent receives harm while they have no remaining assurance QAs, that's when you can be killed. If you're killed, there are other things, like there's like the company will bring you back to life, but it's going to cost you demerits for the mission. you're going to have to have a conversation with your manager and things like that.
00:47:32
Speaker
So, ah yeah. Do if you want to do anything to prevent that damage or is it happening? Um... Oh, I guess, can I can i try to, ah yeah, I think I'll just try to use universal recipient, which means when I receive harm, I can roll persistence, and if I succeed, I can redirect it. Okay.
00:47:53
Speaker
Yeah. Oh boy, i rolled zero, but I'm going to spend one persistence QA to get one three. Okay. So on a success, I will select a nearby... goddammit, I'm not reading these rules. oh oh It says other than the one who hurt you. i apologize. ah Okay, I'm just going to take the damage.
00:48:21
Speaker
And i I can, if I can meta here for a bit, you can try to send it to me and I can. don't i don't know.
00:48:32
Speaker
Sure. Let's do that. Do it. um Okay. So I, so I did roll. I used a QA in persistence and i will send it at stubert, which feels awful, but you literally asked for it. Good guy, you're a good guy. While it's happening to you, Stubert, you feel the same pain in your body like a voodoo doll.
00:48:56
Speaker
You feel your arms begin to snap and twist out of position, and your organs begin to stress and burst as the pressure builds within that's not great, but you know what? You forgot one thing.
00:49:07
Speaker
You missed! And I'm gonna use mist. Giving me all the chaos I want. Roll duplicity. Shut up. This is such a gambler's attitude. I'll get enough tricentants to burn back the QAs. It's fine. Two threes.
00:49:24
Speaker
two threes And I'm going to spend... Oh, no, wait. I don't need to do that. Yes. Okay.
00:49:35
Speaker
ah Honest success. You were always somewhere else nearby, perhaps behind or on top of whatever tried to touch you. and don't want to do on top again. I'm going to go Alex.
00:49:47
Speaker
alex um And then, because I rolled two threes on this, for each additional three, another willing nearby target may be moved with you to the new location. Since Felix didn't take any damage from that, I'm going to save Barabelle two and move her with me.
00:50:06
Speaker
ah Okay, fine. So like I'm going to get my two points back. Barabelle, what does it look like when you are pulled away? What do you do? um ah Well, can can the pulling be described, please?
00:50:21
Speaker
Just the, the what is the spell or ability? yeah Yeah. What does mist look like, Tucker? You were always somewhere else nearby.
00:50:33
Speaker
So, I would guess there is a stretching and warping of reality, and all of a sudden, you and i entered the tent, stood next to Alex, and for some reason, Felix was far enough away from us that he got picked up by the bear. I swear, with my age, I am developing vertigo, because I could have sworn I was standing much closer, and I was getting one of them bear hugs, but right, but I'm over here, and I am confused.
00:51:11
Speaker
The bear lets out a thunderous roar, but it only comes out as a, love you Told you to take care of the voice box. but And Alexander Peepsie went, ah ah looks to the bear, and slowly starts walking to it.
00:51:28
Speaker
ah Can I grab Alex's shoulder? course. He's a little kid. Hey there, buddy. Hey. Hey. You know, your bear is hurting our friend there.
00:51:41
Speaker
you think you could get your your bear buddy to stop hurting our buddy? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know how to calm him down. He he usually gets like this when when i tell when I tell him things that have made me sad. So all i have all all I do is I tell him something that makes me happy. And then he usually calms down.
00:52:05
Speaker
you you should You should do that. like What kind of thing makes you happy? I really can't think of anything right now. I just want to find my parents. Oh, that's a little sad. And so when he says that, the bear roars again. I'm going to spend 10 chaos.
00:52:23
Speaker
Shit! Sorry! To kill someone. what the fuck Wait, what? You can spend... I'm going to make this fun. I'm going roll a D4. Oh, fun. Fun.
00:52:38
Speaker
gonna make It's fun. Going to make it fun. Like those Saw movies were fun. Nate, Tucker, Ivana is one, two, three. And four will be tragic.
00:52:51
Speaker
Roll a four. Roll a four. Roll a four. You see the boy coming up to the guy.
00:53:06
Speaker
ah no. And it moves its way towards Felix and gets real close and shoves him out of the way to get right up to Stubert, the boy that is separating him from its
Defeating the Anomaly Bear
00:53:21
Speaker
cub.
00:53:21
Speaker
Oh, thank God. It picks him up and in one movement just swallows him. Entirely. Wait, can we distract him? Or is this, is he undistractable? That's me using, I'm spending chaos to do this. This is three points of harm. Fuck me.
00:53:38
Speaker
Great. Well, um what I need to go through the... Fuck! Per point of harm to ignore, it or no, it's kill, because it's not harm, right? Or is it... I'm doing three harm.
00:53:51
Speaker
Three harm. Okay. So I can expend three QAs. Yep. I'm going to expend three QAs. You feel this contraction and this pressure.
00:54:04
Speaker
The cotton inside of you is starting to fill up in your mouth, and you're feeling even the blood vessels of your body being replaced by the stringy cotton. You will lose a memory from this. Oh, fuck.
00:54:19
Speaker
I'm not going to take Meredith from you. Oh, thanks. What are you going to take? But do you have a sibling?
00:54:28
Speaker
Yeah. Not anymore. And if you did, you certainly don't know who they are. You fall through the bear out of its butt. What a tone shift. And the bear lets out a roar. I'm going let you guys take a chance to try to deal with the anomaly.
00:54:48
Speaker
Well, that was a lot. I'm going to take out my gun and try to shoot it. Wait! Wait, no! Yeah, do that! no No conversation. I'm taking out the gun. I'm pointing it at the bear. I'm pulling the trigger. pew Fuck you, stupid. The bear turns to you.
00:55:07
Speaker
And goes wide the buttons are just big and wide. The beam fires at the bear, and it bursts into a plume of cotton. All that's left is a little tag that falls to the ground that says, from mom and dad. You guys fade and fade and fade.
00:55:25
Speaker
And you wake up back at the gas station.
Emotional Return to Gas Station
00:55:27
Speaker
Oh, my God. You see Alexander Peepsy sitting on the ground. sobbing. All these memories that he's been repressing his whole life are flooding him all at once.
00:55:42
Speaker
You all right there, Mr. Peepsie? We just saved you.
00:55:51
Speaker
Sir Peepsie? We need you to calm down.
00:55:59
Speaker
do you want a mimosa? Yeah, want a mimosa. Give me one second. I'm going to go into the gas station and see if they have champagne. but They have champagne. Excellent. I will purchase some champagne and orange juice.
00:56:19
Speaker
um You make him a little mimosa in a Dixie cup out of the front. Dixie cup? Ew, no, I do have glassware in my purse. just didn't...
00:56:30
Speaker
Here you go, honey. Drink up, baby. Thank you. You're welcome. This is fine in Spain. Don't judge me. Hey, it's weird to do on a street corner. I get it.
00:56:41
Speaker
We've all been there. Uh, I'm gonna... Stewart's gonna go up to Alexander. um Hey there. Um... and I'm real sorry about, um... You know, everything that had to happen that way.
00:56:55
Speaker
Do you, uh...
00:56:59
Speaker
Do you remember that that circus often? Yeah. Yeah, i was i was a it was hard. And that's that's where your parents, they left you, didn't they?
00:57:11
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, it was the last time I saw them. And then i'm helping you I got picked up by the agency little later. And they've had me working for them for a while.
00:57:22
Speaker
Oh, Peeps, he's an adult now. He's no longer a kid. Yeah, he's the same guy you saw on the street. Yeah, right. Okay, I wasn't giving champagne to a child. Good, good, great. Oh, weird that you even chose that then. Well, that's why I said that it's acceptable in Spain. Don't judge me. I thought you meant like drinking out on the street. thought it was about the time of day.
00:57:42
Speaker
No, no, no. Just because it ain't the child. My bad. Keep going. So let's let's have you guys do our favorite thing, which is returning to the office and filling out paperwork.
Mission Conclusion and Gen Con Announcement
00:57:53
Speaker
It was neutralized, which means you will not receive or gain any additional demerits or commendations for your work. yeah ah What is the alias?
00:58:06
Speaker
Remember. bear ah the Remember. Remember. Very good. That's really good. all Damn.
00:58:18
Speaker
Okay. ah What is its behavior? What is the action that this bear is doing? it It eternal sunshine of the smallest minds people. Basically, it it either represses bad memories or turns bad memories into good feelings, right? Like that was the other thing you saw. ah Where is the bear's focus?
00:58:39
Speaker
Do you remember bear? That was great, baby.
00:58:50
Speaker
anomaly's focus is the thought it was born from which feeds and empowers it, if that makes sense. So... ah Oh, I don't have any good thoughts. I can't think of anything happy right now.
00:59:05
Speaker
Almost. Yeah, I think like, that's a good way to put it. Just the memory of... of Yeah, just kind of a child. And what was the domain for... I mean, the circus, but the circus was inside Alexander Peepsie's mind.
00:59:23
Speaker
Alexander's memories. Yeah, his mind. That's a good way to do it. All right. So let's count up your commendations and such. ah does what was so How did we do this last time? I think we just had you guys go through the mission commendations first.
00:59:38
Speaker
So did anyone feel like they completed any of the mission commendations? So earning a place in somebody's will. Yes. That's three commendations. Yes. Bravo. That was so good. Did all of you quoted a movie? Yes.
00:59:54
Speaker
So that is... What did Ivana quote? I missed it. don't remember, but it was last session and I said it and then I just looked at everyone and it was like a lyric from a song within a movie. think it like Let It Go or something like that. What will get to do is find it and if she got it wrong, she will get demerits because that was one of the challenges if you incorrectly quoted it verbatim. That's right.
01:00:16
Speaker
And Nate, do you remember what your role model quote was? Just so I can look it up and see if you got the quote. Oh, it was Falling Slowly. That's right. And I remember you said it with a weird emphasis that I was like, this is probably a movie part that don't know or not remembering. lee um I said something to the extent of suck it, reindeer games. okay Okay, I will look it up. and okay I'll believe it. I'll see if I can find that. ah Great.
01:00:43
Speaker
Next is is... Nobody cheated at chess. i only played if I only play clean games of chess. And then property damage. yeah Now, Ivana, you you tore up a teddy bear.
01:01:01
Speaker
But it was your gift, so I think that's fine. It's my own property. don't think anyone destroyed any property, but I might have to listen to that Irish pub sequence to see if anyone broke or did anything in there.
01:01:15
Speaker
there was ah There was gunfire and we left, but I don't know if... I don't think any of you were responsible for it. We did not do that. I will be very curious if you maybe... How did we get out of the closet?
01:01:27
Speaker
Oh my god, you axed through it. That firefighter bear bell axed through the... Does anyone feel like they completed any of their personal commendations?
01:01:39
Speaker
No. i feel i mean i feel like it's kind of silly because I can always say I changed someone's life permanently because this guy is... Yeah, I'm going to say it has to be somebody who wasn't a part of that.
01:01:50
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that's... that's um I agree. Ivana? Yes, I helped someone unburden themselves by giving them a mimosa. Well, you really worked towards that. But I will give it to you because you set it up so much at the beginning that it wasn't like completely ah unset up. And didn't you get... Even though he was a part of it. I mean, it wasn't... who the tricendence too, right? So Tucker got the tricendence? Oh, Vanna is swimming towards MVP this session. And Tucker?
01:02:15
Speaker
I did not... I don't think I confidently failed, embarrassed myself for others' benefit, or brought something to a screeching halt. I also feel like I connected Felix to a non- I'm going to hold back on this one because if I want to be able to have a successful trial, I can't say I was responsible for axing that. It was my twin.
01:02:38
Speaker
Well, then I will have to do some research to see because I don't think any of you received any demerits this mission. Unless we got our movie quotes wrong. Unless you got the movie quotes wrong.
01:02:48
Speaker
Or if you got who and who did the actual property damage. well Because it goes to whoever scored the most demerits, regardless of if they got the most commendations.
01:02:59
Speaker
So if Ivana did axe the door down, she will still be the on probation despite having the most commendations. Lastly, i only think there was one loose end, which is the Irish woman who Tucker abandoned at a circus.
01:03:18
Speaker
I'll let you know that that pushes your loose end count up to the official weather mark, which means at the start of the next session, we'll be seeing some unusual occurrences in your reality due to the number of escaped loose ends.
01:03:33
Speaker
Ooh, weather. It's spooky and dramatic. This has been our Triangle Agency campaign. Gen Con is right around the corner and we're going to be there. We're so excited. Let us know if you're going to be attending. We'd love to connect with you.
01:03:49
Speaker
We're going to be playing all kinds of RPGs and other tabletop demos. It's so much fun. We really can't wait. If you like what we've been doing, please leave us a five star review wherever you're listening. We really appreciate it. It helps us with the visibility.
01:04:01
Speaker
But honestly, the best way for us to get exposure is you for to sit down and tell your friends, hey, this is kind of fun. We want to play this TTRPG. You might like them. They're kind of funny. They've been learning a lot about post production, and maybe it's important to show off their efforts by expressing that by showing it to other people.
01:04:17
Speaker
As always, we want to thank Blood Boy for providing us with the music and the creators of Triangle Agency for their fantastic system. Tune in two weeks from now for our next episode. See you there.
