Introduction to Ursared's World
00:00:53
Speaker
Hey, Wizards, weeaboos, and wombo weasels. Welcome to Ursared. Ursared is a post-dystopian, habitated asteroid floating around the star of Ayleth in the Ursa Major Constellation. Today we jump into the fourth installation of the adventures of our Street Bar patrons, Carter Prophet. Hi, I'm Carter Prophet. I play Mr. Sunbody. Yeah, coordination is not exactly where I wish it would be. I feel like I should have hit that kick lots episode, but, you know, you live anywhere.
00:01:22
Speaker
That's your fun fact? Yep. That is fair. I mean, you just woke up from a surgery with like a robotic arm.
Personal Anecdotes: Orange Memories and Balloons
00:01:31
Speaker
Chase Dixon. Hey everybody. I'm Chase Dixon and I play Antonio Moretti. My fun fact for today is Antonio's favorite color is orange. Why? Because when he was scavenging on the streets for food,
00:01:50
Speaker
The only place that was warm at night was underneath this, uh, this like awning of a shop and it was cast, uh, orange light was cast down upon it. So he has an intrinsic fond memory of the color orange. That was the only place that he played. Exactly. Exactly. So to answer the question from the first episode, what color are you now? Orange.
00:02:20
Speaker
So why do you wear all black?
00:02:29
Speaker
It'd be really conspicuous if a fucking of a dude wearing a constructor or construction workers jacket fucking pulls up to shank you in the middle of the night, you know, you would not be conspicuous because you're sticking out and they were like, Oh, that would never be a guy coming to murder me. You played hit man, right? Yeah. Dean Walter. All right. So my name is Dean Walter. I play a card.
00:02:57
Speaker
for now. And fun fact about Karg is that the first few years that he had lived in the Under and had gone to the Prospect Festival, his best memory of being in the Under has now been squandered and pushed away and locked deep inside of his mind.
00:03:27
Speaker
still comes up in dreams, is that when he was at the Prospect Festival at a younger age, his mother bought him a giant red balloon. And since then, he doesn't really remember this, but that's why he's so infatuated with balloons.
00:03:52
Speaker
amazing yeah that was that was really awesome that was that was a real one damn i would like to say first off uh for those from the last episode we don't know the outcome yet no and so if that's your last fun fact uh
00:04:09
Speaker
Yeah, it could be foreshadowing. Hopefully not. We'll see. Oh God. Now I just imagine if you, if it, if it, if it goes south, like cards, just the, the white light is just a red balloon floating away. Oh no, man. You guys know that Banksy painting with the girl on the blog. Yeah. Oh man, dude, I have chills right now. That was beautiful.
Phelps' Detective Tales
00:04:40
Speaker
Dominic Weymeyer. Hello, I am Dominic Weymeyer. I play Johnny Phelps. In my time as a private investigator, not self-proclaimed, self-taught, I have solved 157 cases. Exactly. Lost cats, missing pens. Define solved. Disappearance of 10 millimeter stockets.
00:05:08
Speaker
You gotta count what you can get. Yeah, I was about to ask, how many 10mm sockets have you found? I have found... No, 157 of those cases have all been 10mm sockets, but he hasn't returned any of them to you. How many cases are finding lost knocks in the laundry?
00:05:30
Speaker
That's harder than than figuring out where DB Cooper went did His closed cases I want to know did you ever figure out why corn stopped talking to Karg I Have not
00:05:48
Speaker
For those of you who don't remember, Korn is the pet rock Karg keeps in his pocket that used to talk to him, but then he stops. I'm still looking into that one. It might coincide with the fact that Karg ran out of absinthe. Right around the time that Korn stopped talking to him.
00:06:13
Speaker
The problem is car can never really run out of absence. Tim Lincoln.
Optimus Crime's Origins
00:06:22
Speaker
Hi, I'm Tim Lincoln and I play optimist crime. I'm the warforged artificer of the group and the caveat off of Dean's fact, he said he can't run out of absinthe. That's because I have a absynthesizer in me, but that wasn't my fun fact. Nope. That's it. That's it. My fun fact. No, no, no, no. Nope. I get two. It's a double.
00:06:44
Speaker
It's a two for this week a two for one. That was a free fact. Y'all got bonus fact. So last week I told you what optimus stood for crime is also an acronym that stands for crime response and intervention mobile enforcer because
00:07:11
Speaker
that before crime was built, he's like a rebuilt robot. His chassis was previously used as a crime enforcement robot. Quick question. Like old police cars, do you still have little symbols that should be taken off or they're not taken off yet as law enforcement? Yeah, somewhere on his chassis on his back, he has just
00:07:40
Speaker
a spray painted acronyms. He is tatted up. That's where I'm assuming Karg gave him that nickname. That sounds about right. What a week of facts.
00:07:57
Speaker
Yeah, we're getting better at this. Yeah. And I guess that brings us to
GM's Red Bull and Dice Promotion
00:08:02
Speaker
me. I am your GM for this campaign, Alexander Crutchfield. My fun fact is I drink way too much Red Bull. And that's going to kind of spin off into a little shameless promotion. If you subscribe on Patreon to our Bias Red Bull or Bias caffeine, I believe is what it's called. It's one of those.
00:08:30
Speaker
Every 15th game so 15 30 45, etc I will be giving away the metal dice that I use as the GM for this campaign to one of our random Patreon subscribers They're sick dice people. They're really cool. I can confirm but now it's time to get into We've all been dreading
00:08:53
Speaker
Well, we've all been dreading. So at the end of the last game, we were left with a moment of truth where Karg was on his final death saving throw. Karg, I'm going to leave this up to you.
Tension in Karg's Fate
00:09:13
Speaker
Do you want the tension?
00:09:16
Speaker
Me rolling that last one for you or do you want to do it? Car's gonna roll it. It's gonna roll it Okay, and then you're gonna send me the number and I will let everyone know Yeah I almost don't want to roll the dice cross feet across posies across across my heart and
00:09:43
Speaker
I'm going to take a picture of this, regardless of what this is. I feel like we should have had him roll a new character. I'm about to put the camera on the dice. Glad you're optimistic. I don't, I don't think the dice are going to show because the, oh, okay. Yeah. Maybe. Uh, maybe. Oh, I can't even tell what it is. I can't even tell.
00:10:12
Speaker
We can't see it. We can't see it. I'm going to text it to the GM and you'll find out in a second. Oh my God. Oh my God, bro. What is it? I think he passed. Wait, wait, wait. Before he sends it, what does everyone think? I think he passed. I would like to think he was really excited about his next character. The pipes. I am excited. I think he passed. All right. The pipes. The pipes.
00:10:42
Speaker
calling calling so we're gonna we're gonna do out for our patreon are just so I can see if you think that he did not make it arms crossed if you think he made it salute
00:11:11
Speaker
As. No. No. I. Did I know where you live you motherfucker. We were all saluting. Such a tease. And then he salutes and then he shrugs his shoulders. Oh. He's playing with our offspring. As Antonio runs over to Karg.
00:11:37
Speaker
Uh, he's going to get dropped down onto his knees and start putting all of his body weight in trying to press the elves heart back to working. And immediately afterwards, he's going to realize that he was pushing way too hard, way too hard, hurting more than helping. And he kind of takes a moment and thinks to himself, did I just kill Karg?
00:12:10
Speaker
and then he sees it movement as card pulls out a little bottle of shooter motherfucker takes a shot before saying I think he's muted Jesus Christ I still have balloons oh wait wait wait cry me
00:12:40
Speaker
Tell me there's still bottles behind the bar. Dean, what did you roll? I rolled a 14. That was the scariest roll I've ever rolled. Fuck, dude. That was looking grim. I was going through it over here. He was like, oh, he's pressing too hard. Music swells up and I'm like, oh,
00:13:09
Speaker
So, as, uh, Karg says that Optimus is going to turn his head. He's going to say, Karg, Karg, Karg, Karg, Karg, Karg. Buddy! I'm sure we have some extra bottles for you somewhere, but first. Yeah, buddy. Let's finish this thing off.
00:13:35
Speaker
This motherfucker still alive? Korg, Korg, you stay here, brother. Get the get the cover. We'll take care of this. Just don't fucking do that again. And Korg's gonna look over at uh, he's gonna look over at Optimus and just look over and say, you're right. Don't bring this sword to a gunfight.
00:14:04
Speaker
uh i hate to do this to you but uh none of you are next in initiative uh what do you mean mr somebody is yeah no because you forgot that henry is going to raise a shotgun above his head pull the trigger rolls and that one kills garg
00:14:33
Speaker
He's going to shoot the pillar, and then Spittles gonna get up, hop over the bar, run over to the dude, just jump on him, just front straddle, and just two pistols at the bottom of the guy's head, blow it off, as he rides the guy down to the ground, and then he's gonna look around and go, Why'd you fuck up my hotel? Also, no yelling.
00:15:03
Speaker
And his bill. Optimus is just going to stop what he's doing. The lights on his body go from red back to blue. His screen stops glitching out. And he's just going to completely ignore that awesome kill that the guy did and just go straight back over to card.
Safehouse Retreat and Planning
00:15:24
Speaker
Antonio is going to run straight back into the room to try and see how Marcellus is doing. I will follow Antonio. Mr. Somebody, what are you doing?
00:15:33
Speaker
I am going to go, yeah, I'm gonna go in the conference room. When you guys, so you guys get into the conference room, conference room, still bloody, uh, metal desk in the shape of a U conference screen turned off. I think I forgot to specify it was turned off last time. And you guys go to the place where you are, you're going to walk past, uh,
00:15:58
Speaker
Marcus who is very clearly dead and go to his son who you guys tucked underneath the desk uh you're gonna find that he's stable but he's missing his ear and there's scarring from the plasma that was shot that took off his ear hey mr somebody Phelps you get over here help me move this guy come on we got to get him out of here there's a safe house a couple blocks away for the family
00:16:42
Speaker
Also for information. Also for your boss of a family. All right. You were trying to bring your money to him. No, no, no. He's the guy you were trying to give the money to, right? No, no. The collections were going to Marcellus and then Marcellus passes it up. If I just hit a lick on Marcus's body, Marcellus is never going to know and I get to keep that. I'm going to pick up Marcellus and just kind of like don't move my shoulder.
00:16:52
Speaker
We need to move him quickly. He is not looking in good shape.
00:17:09
Speaker
I'm also I'm also looking for information. You're not really gonna find much information And you're not really gonna find credits because remember these guys are paranoid. They don't like technology and What he does have is 20 billion platinum coins on those He's got a canvas bag with the dollar sign on it
00:17:34
Speaker
Yeah, you're not gonna find any money on him, but you are gonna find, you know, just his normal things. He's wearing a watch. Yeah, it's mine now. You can grab the watch, but, well, no one's gonna buy it off you.
00:17:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's sentimental. All right. That's the guy that took me off the streets. It's an heirloom. Mr. Somebody that saved you from the streets. So I'm so grateful. I'm taking your shit. It's an heirloom. I should go to his son. Yeah. Well, the son's not in a fucking predicament to take the watch off him and something tells me that the body's not going to be forever. I see. Yeah, I guess. All right. Yeah.
00:18:23
Speaker
So what are you guys doing? Where are we going? Where's the safe house? Let me pull up the map. We need to get to the safe house. Yeah, Karg is going to follow. So realistically, you would have been stabilized, not awake. You're not able to walk on your own. Oh, you are absolutely correct. I'm going to pick up Karg.
00:18:46
Speaker
That was kind of a rule of cool moment where the tension was so high. No, yeah, you're absolutely correct. He said that and then just passed right back out again. So you guys are going to a safe house? Yes, so on the map, look on the map where the expansion showroom is. If you go southwest to the corner where there's that greenery on the other side of the yellow line,
00:19:11
Speaker
Okay, keep in mind that that's a podcast. Yes, yes. So we're we're going to travel about 123 five blocks south west and one block northwest to the corner most building of this hotel is strange from from from the hotel. Oh, nevermind. That was the expansion. Yeah, I'm
00:19:48
Speaker
Okay, so you guys are gonna yeah, so you guys are basically gonna get to a little it's looks like a normal like apartment complex and you get to a
00:20:03
Speaker
you're gonna have to carry him up to like carry him and Karg up to the second floor you guys are now across the street from the vein which is another club in the area this is where the less family related criminals go to have a good time but
00:20:29
Speaker
You're, you know, it is still under the chin of SC family. Once you get to the second floor, you can open it, open it up the door and with a key that Antonio's going to have on him.
00:20:45
Speaker
And as you guys walk in to the left, you're going to see that there's a kitchenette kind of thing. But really all you can do is reheat, reheat, goop. And they do have a few bottles of alcohol there to the right. There's a little setting area. It's a couch and.
00:21:03
Speaker
just kind of looks out the window at the vein nightclub and you can see over the vein nightclub is the park with the train station with the train that goes to the surface. If you go past the sitting area there's a little hallway and there's four doors.
00:21:25
Speaker
Uh, the first door on the left is going to have an office, but there's not really anything in the office except for like blank writing paper and stuff like that. Then the other three rooms, when you open them up, there's a bed, a nightstand that just has like basic suit type clothing and a little neon nightlights.
00:21:52
Speaker
or neon, sorry, neon, uh, table lamps on the dressers. I'm going to go and take a cargo over to one of the beds and lay them down there. And, uh, see if there's anything that we can start cooking up. Okay. Yeah. If there's any like food, water, just anything, you know, optimist likes to fix things. And right now he's got to try and fix his friend. Gotcha.
00:22:22
Speaker
I'm gonna sit Marcellus up on the couch, so he's sitting upright. I'm gonna take the watch I took off of Marcus's body and I'm gonna put it on Marcellus's wrist.
Symbolic Leadership Transition
00:22:33
Speaker
Kinda is like a way to communicate to him that he is now the lead, like it is now his turn in the seat. This is, it has been metaphorically passed from his father down to him.
00:22:46
Speaker
Okay. Uh, are you going to do anything else to like with the, with his body essentially, or are you just going to let him sit there? Well, I try to do something with a medicine check, but right now I'm not in the mood to do any of those. So if anyone's got a higher mod, I'd love for you to help out my boss. Is he like wounded anywhere else? Yeah. I'm just going to check to see if he's like wounded anywhere else other than his ear.
00:23:15
Speaker
Uh, so you just want to like, look and see if he's like a good, like, you know, look over. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Go ahead. Roll medicine for, or roll insight or medicine. Okay.
00:23:34
Speaker
six six for which one both uh i'm gonna say you walk up and you look at the missing ear and you quickly get distracted by the thought of do you have ears
00:23:58
Speaker
Cause you can't quite remember it. So like your hands are like filling your own ears. You didn't, you didn't really do much for him, but you have confirmed that you do in fact have two ears. That's good. Antonio. Yeah. What's up, man. I've got two years. We're good. I'm happy for you. Just kind of start like doing around.
00:24:20
Speaker
I'm gonna try and I'm gonna get like a bucket or something of hot water because you said the vein is where like more like petty criminals kind of People who might do an occasional job for the family but aren't
00:24:36
Speaker
in the direct employment. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna do my best to clean more sell this up because we don't need to see or we don't need the patrons of the vein seeing this guy who's supposed to represent the most powerful family in this area as like weak and vulnerable make them think there's a power vacuum and they start to make a move against the family. So to keep our parents is I'm gonna do my best to make more sellers look look better. Are there blinds on the window?
00:25:06
Speaker
uh there are but you guys are one like a floor above the the vein so no one can see in through those windows unless they're like standing on the roof of the vein okay i'm still gonna close them just uh be on the safe side it's like that way like there's no chance of someone just seeing it one way or another all right john felps what are you doing i would like to look around for some food
00:25:35
Speaker
and then go sit down at the table and start going over my notes. Because I'm putting some things together in my head and I got a feeling that that train on the other side of the park, it is bad news. I mean, yeah. So the train has been going up and down for pretty much your whole life. You guys just kind of know that there's like a certain perimeter around the train that's really hard to get to.
00:26:04
Speaker
And all of the goods that are delivered to the train are brought by the different families of the under with the goods from safe harbor being delivered by the Genovese family and so on. Uh, one thing I would like to remind the party, especially in this situation is that a short rest is one night's sleep. A long rest is a night's sleep, a day of, uh, light activity and another night's sleep.
00:26:35
Speaker
So just keep that in mind as you guys are making a plan forward. I'm now going to take a step back from the microphone and let you guys talk to each other and kind of decide what your next step is. One quick question. Yeah. What time of glow is it right now? So right now it is late dim about to be early glow. Has Karg regained a little bit of consciousness? Not yet. Okay.
00:27:06
Speaker
There has to be some kind of food in this place. There's goop. There's, yeah, so there's goop and there's, oh, my bad. Sorry. So there's goop, there's alcohol, and then there's like very basic packaged food.
00:27:25
Speaker
That's kind of rare, but you have enough to like, essentially stay in the six or yeah, the six of you to stay in here, eat three meals a day for a week because this is a safe house. So they kind of stock it up so that someone could hide out here for a little bit. Hey, I am giant. You're a.
00:27:49
Speaker
We know Cog likes to booze. How about a wave in one of those bottles underneath his nose? Maybe that'll park him up. I'm currently mixing up some goop along with alcohol in something that I believe would be a palatable combination. That should raise his health and his spirits. That is Cog's favorite. A little bit of goop, a little bit of booze. Everything goes well, you know? Like a real man's Jack and Coke. 90% Jack, splash of cola. This is more like a Jack and oatmeal.
00:28:21
Speaker
But it's like the same thing, yeah. Breakfast of champions. So your important question is, what color goop is it? The best color goop. Rainbow goop. Yes. You are wrong. Rainbow goop is the worst. What I do know is one or a few of us need to make a stop up at the general store, see if there's something we can we can use to heal up our guys here.
00:28:50
Speaker
They ain't doing no good unconscious. That is something that we need to do. Phelpsy, how are you feeling? Feeling pretty hurt. Mr. Somebody. Yes, sir. Can you make a run to the general store and find any medical supplies or palatable alcohol?
Supply Run Planning
00:29:11
Speaker
I mean, food. For card. Make it double for Marcellus. I can do that. I can do that.
00:29:18
Speaker
I feel like hard probably like he's still way out, but he kind of like mumbles out the words. It doesn't have to be that palatable ever clear will do. I start walking out towards the door.
00:29:35
Speaker
Uh, I head out before immediately turn around and coming back in. Uh, where's the store? Let's wait a little while and then go. Cause it's probably about to open in a little while.
00:29:50
Speaker
So around mid glow is when they would have completed a short rest. I'm going, so at the end of the short rest, Karg, you get to recover one hit die because you're level one. Does me being a high elf do anything about that? That does. I got three hit points. All right.
00:30:23
Speaker
So he's up I'm going to just roll to see if Marcellus wakes up He's showing signs of kind of like near consciousness he's kind of starting to do that thing that Karg was doing where like he kind of like wakes up says like three words and then like
00:30:49
Speaker
goes back to sleep. I'm going to stay on the couch next to Marcellus until either Phelps and somebody get back from the store or Marcellus wakes up. Mr. Phelps. I saw you looking at your notes. What is it that you're looking at?
00:31:11
Speaker
I just need I need more information on train the train do you think it's connected with our new friend here no which one mr somebody it could be we know that could be the company that makes his arm also makes robots that protect the train do you think any of that
00:31:30
Speaker
is related to what happened with Marcellus today. And who is that strange doctor? I think the train and the doctor do have something that happened to something to do with what happened to Marcellus. I do also think that they did do something to our friends here. I am not sure what, but I think finding out would be very beneficial. What did you guys find up in the hotel room, by the way? Oh, great question. Optimus opens up his
00:32:00
Speaker
Show him the thing. You should take a sniff. This was pretty strong.
00:32:30
Speaker
But the shark, can I see it? Absolutely. I'm not sure if that's his best idea, but I will not stop you. Phelps, you catch me if I fall. I'll do my best. What? Do I get lightheaded at all? I'm giving a little like, like smelling salts at the gym, you know.
00:32:46
Speaker
No, so whatever was in this is now dissipated. Yeah. You know, can I get a sniff real quick? So sniff it. I'm not going to deny an almost dying man's last request, of course. It's not the last request. Car's gonna go sniff it. And can I with my sniff?
00:33:15
Speaker
try to like determine what I smell out of this yeah so it smells exactly the same as before which is it doesn't so whatever was in this is was odorless or potentially something that's already
00:33:37
Speaker
Present in the under and is a thing that like you wouldn't notice like Nova chalk Let's just potency. It's no longer useful. You guys can throw it out Wait optimus is gonna grab it before he throws it or damages it Is that all you is that all he was definitely gonna throw it too he was he was like right about to a football throw like into the trash can and
00:34:03
Speaker
We also found the sheet of numbers. Unintelligible. I have copied all numbers down. I do not know what they mean. I'm going to hand the original sheet to Antonio. Do these numbers mean anything to me? Roll.
00:34:22
Speaker
a history check. I'm not rolling with that die. That's a bad die. You're in timeout bad die. Bad, bad, bad die. Negative one. 17. You know a guy who might know what this means. What's the guy? You've seen a series of numbers that look similar whenever you took money to Marcellus while Marcellus was
00:34:53
Speaker
the expanse showroom, he would sit down with the guy who took care of the family's finances and he kept the ledger. And in the ledger, there's a series of numbers that looks similar. You just never really cared to learn what they mean. And honestly, it wasn't really the time or place to ask those kinds of questions. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Hi.
00:35:20
Speaker
So I can't tell you what these mean, but I do know a guy that might, maybe it's a, not even a friend, he's an acquaintance of mine, Joey Pepparelli, hopefully he knows a thing. Once we get this situation in the, once we figure out what the fuck's going on, we'll make a run. Sounds good. Can I see those back?
00:35:45
Speaker
Uh, we should make a copy for myself real quick. So I'm going to, I'm going to go into the office, grab one of those blank pieces of paper, write down the copy and hand you back the original tool. All right. So you've got that done. So what are you guys, what's your guys's plan for, let's say till, till Dem, are we going to sleep at Dem tonight? Or are we going to pull another all nighter? I'm going to go to sleep.
00:36:12
Speaker
I am on the one. While I don't need to sleep, I definitely do need to charge. Are you like a Tesla? Or like, if you get caught in the wrong part of the town with like low battery charge, you're just fucked. I would be. The great part about being mechanically inclined is I can create my own. Yeah, I think, I think hard slowly, well, slowly for a, a human, I guess, but, but normal speed for, sorry, fast for a human and like kind of normal speed for a high elf.
00:36:42
Speaker
He's going to take his long rest, but he's going to still have some extra time left over. So after everyone else is going to bed and he ends up waiting up a little bit early, he's just going to kind of sit there, drink a couple, uh, drink a couple shots and kind of just getting his, his version of like, trancing is more like getting drunk and praying to his, uh,
00:37:12
Speaker
his, his alcohol God. So he's just going to be sitting there drinking some scotch, watching the door and being like, you know, this is, this wasn't so bad. This experience was kind of fun. Maybe I'll, maybe I'll almost die again. Are Jameson are Johnny Walker who art hallowed be thy booze. I mean, I don't, I don't discriminate.
00:37:40
Speaker
All the boozes are the same. Johnny Walker one day, and the next day a little bit of Jim Dean. They're all good gods. God is great, God is good. What a fun pantheon. The pantheon of bad decisions. Absolutely. Yeah, like running into a gunfight with a sword? Yeah. No, that was badass.
00:38:04
Speaker
It was really cool until I rolled. It's badass. It's badass. Now that you're still with us, it would have been really shitty if they got real fucking close. Real close. So we're going to you guys. OK, if we kind of jump to. Waking up tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. In the night, does Marcellus wake up at all? He wakes up for a little bit of time, but
00:38:35
Speaker
Uh, went around the time that you guys wake up like a little bit beforehand, he's going to wake up and he's just going to start eating the goop that you guys kind of left prepared for him. Yeah. Card probably gives me a couple of shots with him. Yeah.
00:38:54
Speaker
In fact Antonio he's gonna wake you up But cuz he's looking for a new suit And so he's gonna be digging through the dresser in the room that you fell asleep in. Yeah boss boss What's going on? What's going on? Wait Marcellus I What the fuck happened? They they devil crossed us Who's they who was they? Oh
00:39:22
Speaker
stupid risers we've good my bad boss we've we've had it fuck it and then he's just gonna kind of reach in to the thing pull out shit it's like where the fuck am i loss uh when we found you it was the the conference room at the at the hotel
00:39:52
Speaker
They I saw you go in with with with your pops and into the some weird fucking doctor with his Stu not security walked out and I I came to talk to you. I was just dropping off collections. I don't I don't know if you remember boss, but Pops is dead. Yeah I know But Let's not worry about that right now pops we're
00:40:21
Speaker
Marcelo, sorry, I'm flustered. Right now, let's get you back on your feet, let's figure out what the fuck is going on, and we're gonna strike these cocksuckers where it hurts, you understand me? No one fucks with the fucking family and goes unscathed. That, I can assure you. He's gonna put his hand on your shoulder, and look you in the eye, and he's gonna say,
00:40:52
Speaker
If you thought that these guys were someone that we could handle, you think Pops would be dead?
Debate on Family and Revenge
00:41:06
Speaker
Lucky fucking shot. Every dog's got their fucking day. And it's about to be this dog's fucking day. I don't know when, but it's fucking coming.
00:41:15
Speaker
All right. I don't care if we got to call in the fucking cavalry, the fucking national God, we're getting the fucking revenge that is owed to us. We're going to take these fuckers down one way or another. I don't care if it costs me everything. Give up kid. And he's going to kind of pull his jacket on and be like, we got a business to run. And that kind of talking, she's going to get us all killed.
00:41:46
Speaker
No one's going to run the business then right now. Number one goal, goal I have is keeping this family alive. Cause there's no one to avenge, no one to revenge for all land on the floor of pops.
00:42:06
Speaker
I got a brother, I got a sister, I got my brother in law. And someday that shit detective Phelps is gonna find my nephew. There's other things more important. Trust me, it's not that I don't want revenge. You think I fucking grew up in this life and I don't want revenge? You're just putting it
00:42:39
Speaker
You put in your emotions before your mind. And that's why you fucking collect. You had potential to be higher. Pop saw it. I saw it. Fuck. I was intimidated by it. But you're too emotional, Tonio.
00:42:58
Speaker
You remember where I came from? I scavenged for fucking peanuts. Yeah, you came from the fucking street. The man that gave me everything is sitting dead in that fucking conference room right now. And you're just gonna sit there and not do nothing? Worrying about fucking money and collections? Nah, if it's that if I gotta do it by my fucking self and my merry band of retards, then I'm gonna fucking do it. You can run the fucking family. Then you lead your band of merry fucking retards.
00:43:28
Speaker
to their death. But you're not taking me, you're not taking my brother, and you're not taking my sister down with you. Then you can have nothing to fucking do with it, but I'm gonna get revenge for Pops, one way or a fucking other. Uh, he's gonna look at you and be like, well Antonio, it was nice having you in the family.
00:43:52
Speaker
And he's gonna walk out. And he's be like, he's also gonna stop me. He's like, I'll, uh, I'll be sending men to restock this place in a few hours. Unless you want to fight the family also with your emotional, stupid fucking go get her attitude. I would be gone.
00:44:16
Speaker
And he's gonna walk out. And he's gonna close the door and walk out. I'm gonna chase after him real quick. I'm gonna swing the door open, sprint after him.
00:44:41
Speaker
Marcellus, if I ever fucking meant anything to you, I just need to know one more thing. Who the fuck was that doctor in the conference room? What's his name? I need to know something. After this, if you don't ever want to fucking see me again, if you never want to speak to me again after this, that's fine. But I'm going to go and do this. And the least you can do after everything we've been through is give me a lead.
00:45:08
Speaker
He's just going to kind of like shrug his shoulders and look at you and be like, I'll tell you if I know you. He's just going to walk out and like keep, like he's going to walk out the front door and hook a right heading north. Cars going to look over and, uh, we're like, Hey, that's funny. He got on a retard.
00:45:37
Speaker
Nice this I gave him booze when he woke up and he called those retards You can't you can't even get like just so civil these days. Nope. Nope. Not today He said just take another shot I walk back in the apartment and Say to the audience I'm assuming y'all heard all of that
00:46:06
Speaker
Yeah, those fucking retards. Yeah, so did I. You want a shot? You want? Yeah, give me a fucking give me a fucking shot. It's Sean boys and car pulls out Casamigos because it's a great shot to have.
Escape Plan to the Street Bar
00:46:24
Speaker
All right, we gotta we gotta get out of here. We got nobody it's us right now.
00:46:33
Speaker
Would I would I prefer better company abso-fucking-lutely, but we got what we got Don't give me that book Somebody and he's just like yeah, probably would do better company, you know Say it would have been burned sooner or later We actually might still haven't we might actually still have an in with the family
00:47:03
Speaker
Kelsey, Marcellus said you're looking for his nephew. We're going to hold on to that. I think we can use that. So we got to get out of here. And we can go to the street bar. We can go to my place. But neither is supposed to be a booth. So maybe when you guys got some place to go, I mean, I got some parents not too far from here. And we can go there.
00:47:33
Speaker
You gotta take your shoes off when you go inside. Well, it looks like our options is we could go to the street bar and stop at the store and get some liquor along the way. Or we could head over to Timmy's Pub, which isn't too far. We could head a little bit further uptown if we need to get ammo for you, Antonio, to Fang's Clang and Bang Fangs, which is pretty close to the general store too. Oh, as long as you're some of this,
00:48:03
Speaker
And you get some bullets, and we do the thing. Oh, everyone knows the best place to go is the street bar. We walk there, and pick some stuff up along the way, and we get drunk. Sounds like a plan. I'm gonna grab some, uh, some bullets on the way. You guys are going on the way by, uh, going past things, banging, clang things. Uh,
00:48:34
Speaker
and just pick up some ammo. You're just gonna, like you're not really gonna interact too much. You're just gonna like walk in, drop the ammo, pay for it, pick it up, walk out kind of thing. Kinda like a Walmart. Yeah. Complete with the disgruntled like teenager behind the counter that like doesn't wanna be there.
00:49:03
Speaker
I also need to buy another dagger because my other dagger is still sitting in that guy's eye socket and You said after the stores you guys are going back to the street bar. Yeah Yeah, now that we got everything Let's head back to the street bar. You guys get to the street bar. It looks almost identical to as you left it but I
00:49:25
Speaker
Sheriff and Shockey have successfully put the chairs standing up again and taking up their normal seats and just falling asleep on the bar. It's around, I don't know, I'd say, it's around mid glow now. Mid after glow? Yeah. And they're asleep on the bar. They don't really seem to have any alcohol with them. They each have like an empty bottle.
00:49:56
Speaker
But they're both very much asleep as you guys walk up to the bar. What do you guys want to do? Optimus is going to grab one of the bottles from Karg. Hey, Karg, pass me one of those bottles. Throws the bottle. And then he's going to start doing some fancy bar tricks, pops the cork, pours shots for everyone.
00:50:20
Speaker
Sheriff Sparky wake up. We got more booze It's been one heck of a day cargo is also at after he throws this bottle he walks in sees a couple chairs Sitting around like in the area And he's like no one even fucking uses chairs anymore and he kind of like kicks him over to the side
00:50:51
Speaker
and then stands by the bar. Cheers, everybody. Let's knock one back and forget that yesterday ever happened.
