Meet the Hosts and Characters
00:01:33
Speaker
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Let's Play Pretend.
00:01:38
Speaker
I am Jordan Derringer.
00:01:39
Speaker
I am your DM, GM, keeper, handler, and host.
00:01:43
Speaker
And I have with me, as always, Mr. Nick Barnett.
00:01:47
Speaker
Ned Dolaran.
00:01:48
Speaker
He's the man with no plan, and he's hanging with his older version of Sam Pond.
00:01:57
Speaker
That was good.
00:01:59
Speaker
I like that.
00:02:00
Speaker
I really like that.
00:02:02
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:02:03
Speaker
Oh, man, that put a smile on my face.
00:02:05
Speaker
All right.
00:02:06
Speaker
What have you got to contribute, Breck?
00:02:08
Speaker
Mr. Breck, Black.
00:02:09
Speaker
Sorry.
00:02:11
Speaker
Ryan Winchester and Ryan can't rhyme or rap.
00:02:15
Speaker
So I'm just going to leave that there.
00:02:18
Speaker
That works for me.
00:02:20
Speaker
I'm still in awe of Ned's rhymes.
00:02:24
Speaker
Yeah, that was good.
00:02:25
Speaker
I mean, I got to say that was really good.
00:02:28
Speaker
Do you have anything that you can add to it, Mr. Matcheck?
00:02:31
Speaker
Arthur Gooseberg, and I'm here to say, I really don't want to die in a horrible way.
00:02:41
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:02:43
Speaker
All right, come on.
00:02:45
Speaker
Let's keep the ball rolling, Mrs. Melanie Derringer.
00:02:49
Speaker
I play Samantha Williams, and I can't fucking rap either, so I'm just going to sit over with Breck and just listen and watch.
00:02:56
Speaker
That's fair.
00:02:58
Speaker
We could be the producers.
00:03:00
Speaker
There we go.
00:03:00
Speaker
There you go.
00:03:03
Speaker
Oh, man.
00:03:04
Speaker
That was a good way to start an episode.
00:03:06
Speaker
That was fun.
00:03:07
Speaker
I like that.
00:03:09
Speaker
All right.
00:03:10
Speaker
Who's ready for a recap?
00:03:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:16
Speaker
I don't remember anything from last fucking week or whatever recording was.
00:03:19
Speaker
Yeah, we need a look.
00:03:21
Speaker
I just remember there's an older me with my face.
00:03:24
Speaker
Yeah, it's been a couple weeks.
00:03:25
Speaker
So...
00:03:27
Speaker
Let's do this.
Encounter with Older Samantha
00:03:29
Speaker
You guys headed towards Samantha's house, ended up falling into a net trap.
00:03:40
Speaker
A like a net from underneath you pulled you up into a tree.
00:03:43
Speaker
An older version of Samantha writing Anubis came by and said, well, Anubis, look what we got here.
00:03:50
Speaker
You guys instantly clocked that it was Samantha, older Samantha, by about maybe five years or so, as she confirmed later, with a big scar on the left side of her face going from the corner of her mouth up to about her ear.
00:04:04
Speaker
Don't know how she got it.
00:04:05
Speaker
Don't know where she got it.
00:04:06
Speaker
You haven't asked her.
00:04:07
Speaker
She hasn't told you.
00:04:10
Speaker
After she reached through and felt Ned's forget-me-not, she instantly, like you guys saw her eyes, go wide and she cut you guys down.
00:04:19
Speaker
You started talking and she goes, you know, let's go back to the barn.
00:04:22
Speaker
We're safe out here, but better safe than sorry.
00:04:25
Speaker
So you guys headed back to the barn.
00:04:29
Speaker
You were talking, kind of figuring out where things laid with this, like what she went through, what you guys are going through, what's different.
00:04:40
Speaker
She told you guys that she ended up doing a ritual,
00:04:46
Speaker
They were originally going to redo Ashley's ritual and ended up going a different route.
00:04:53
Speaker
And the ritual they did, someone had to stay behind, which is where she is.
00:04:59
Speaker
After she discussed the ritual with you guys, she seemed very interested in that magic tooth that you guys had with you.
00:05:06
Speaker
And...
00:05:09
Speaker
As you guys were deciding that you wanted to go to Ashley's house to see if her and Chris were there, you got a text message, all of you, from your normal group chat with Ashley in it from a brand new number that said, I wouldn't go there if I were you.
Mystery Texts and Humorous Exchanges
00:05:26
Speaker
And that's where we are now.
00:05:28
Speaker
So what would you guys like to do?
00:05:32
Speaker
I'm going to call that number.
00:05:36
Speaker
Go straight to voicemail.
00:05:37
Speaker
Nope.
00:05:40
Speaker
Are you actually calling the number?
00:05:41
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to put on speaker.
00:05:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:05:46
Speaker
Ring, ring.
00:05:47
Speaker
Ring, ring.
00:05:50
Speaker
Banana phone.
00:05:54
Speaker
It rings seven, eight times.
00:05:57
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:05:58
Speaker
Do they not have a voicemail set up?
00:06:01
Speaker
And then instantly disconnects.
00:06:04
Speaker
You don't get a chance for voicemail or anything.
00:06:08
Speaker
Ryan is going to pull.
00:06:11
Speaker
Ryan is going to pull out his phone and just send a middle finger emoji to the random number.
00:06:17
Speaker
It's always a good jumping off point.
00:06:20
Speaker
Ned is looking at his phone and sees that come through.
00:06:23
Speaker
Hey, Ryan, I think we were on the same page.
00:06:28
Speaker
We all agree that's probably like evil Chris, right?
00:06:33
Speaker
Honestly, at this point, I don't care.
00:06:36
Speaker
Because if they're not in this group here, or a select few of, like, I don't know, two or three people, I don't care what they say.
00:06:45
Speaker
Sam just texts, who is this?
00:06:48
Speaker
New phone, who dis?
00:06:49
Speaker
It's also weird that they won't answer a phone call right after they send a goddamn text message.
00:06:56
Speaker
Ghost.
00:06:58
Speaker
They're ghosting.
00:07:00
Speaker
You guys don't get a response to the text message.
00:07:05
Speaker
I'm gonna send a da fuck emoji.
00:07:10
Speaker
No, sorry, a gif.
00:07:12
Speaker
Okay, I was gonna say you're gonna have to send me that emoji.
00:07:14
Speaker
There's no emoji.
00:07:15
Speaker
I can only send like, I'm gonna send like a Garfield emoji or a gif that's like da fuck.
00:07:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:24
Speaker
Everyone has a relatable Garfield gif.
00:07:29
Speaker
Yeah, mine's the one where he plops into bed.
00:07:30
Speaker
Oh, are you serious?
00:07:32
Speaker
I was making a fucking joke.
00:07:38
Speaker
You guys get a text back.
00:07:40
Speaker
It's another Garfield gif.
00:07:42
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:07:43
Speaker
It's like this guy doesn't quite understand the assignment or girl.
00:07:47
Speaker
It's like they don't quite understand the assignment because it's just a gif of Garfield shrugging that says Mondays, right?
00:07:56
Speaker
Wait, do we for real get that back or are you just fucking with us?
00:08:00
Speaker
No, yeah, you get that back.
00:08:02
Speaker
I'm looking at my phone to search Garfield gifts to actually give a response.
00:08:08
Speaker
Ned's going to look up to older Sam.
00:08:11
Speaker
Hey, do you still have your phone?
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah, I do.
00:08:18
Speaker
She reaches into her pocket and pulls out her phone.
00:08:21
Speaker
The same one from when you got transferred in here?
00:08:23
Speaker
Yes.
00:08:25
Speaker
Does your phone still work?
00:08:26
Speaker
Did you get that message?
00:08:27
Speaker
Because you two ought to have the same number then.
00:08:31
Speaker
I didn't feel my phone go off.
00:08:35
Speaker
She opens her phone and there is not a message to her.
00:08:38
Speaker
Wait, you're saying your phone number is not 555-1234?
00:08:40
Speaker
Really?
00:08:41
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:08:41
Speaker
Mine's 555-4321.
00:08:42
Speaker
She's doxing some people.
00:08:44
Speaker
Got it.
00:08:45
Speaker
I'm going to call her phone real quick.
00:08:55
Speaker
My phone or her phone?
00:08:56
Speaker
Her phone, not your phone.
00:08:57
Speaker
I got your phone.
00:08:59
Speaker
How are you going to call her phone?
00:09:01
Speaker
I have my phone.
00:09:02
Speaker
She just said her phone number is 555-4321.
00:09:04
Speaker
Oh, I thought we were doing a bit, but okay.
00:09:09
Speaker
No, no bit.
00:09:10
Speaker
I'm legitimately calling her phone just because I want to see if it still works.
00:09:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:09:14
Speaker
Her phone rings.
00:09:16
Speaker
I hit hang up before she can answer.
00:09:18
Speaker
I don't need another incident like with Arthur.
00:09:20
Speaker
You weren't there, but I promise you I don't want to do it again.
00:09:24
Speaker
Hello?
00:09:25
Speaker
All right.
00:09:28
Speaker
One of y'all want to add her to the group chat?
00:09:30
Speaker
You know I'm not good at doing that whole group chat thing.
00:09:33
Speaker
I guess Sam puts older Sam's number into the chat.
00:09:38
Speaker
It's really weird.
00:09:39
Speaker
I don't like typing my phone number backwards.
00:09:44
Speaker
But then Sam just puts her phone away and just kind of...
00:09:50
Speaker
stares at everyone and goes, regardless, we got to go that way anyways.
00:09:55
Speaker
I don't know who this person is or if they're just trying to scare us out of there, but I think we should head that way.
00:10:01
Speaker
I don't think we have any other choices, do we?
00:10:05
Speaker
Well, I mean, we could just not go to Ashley's house, but it's really weird that they said that
Decision to Visit Ashley's House
00:10:11
Speaker
right as we mentioned going there when we didn't really plan on it.
00:10:15
Speaker
So how did they know?
00:10:17
Speaker
We're being watched.
00:10:21
Speaker
Bum bum bum.
00:10:23
Speaker
Fuck.
00:10:24
Speaker
It don't really matter what we do or where we go.
00:10:26
Speaker
All we know is if they don't want us to go there, then that means there must be something there they don't want us to see.
00:10:31
Speaker
We need to book it.
00:10:32
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:10:33
Speaker
We need to head to Ashley's house because apparently there's something there that we're missing.
00:10:37
Speaker
Maybe it'll be our way to get home.
00:10:41
Speaker
Hey, older Sam, where did you meet the man in the suit?
00:10:46
Speaker
I was just out on a supply run in the town.
00:10:50
Speaker
Kinda close to the nest, but not close enough to be dangerous.
00:10:56
Speaker
That was the first place I met him.
00:10:57
Speaker
After that, he always kinda seemed to just show up.
00:11:02
Speaker
Just show up?
00:11:03
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:11:05
Speaker
Okay, could he be the one who's telling us not to go there?
00:11:08
Speaker
Well, he never texted us or called us, and I saw him die.
00:11:14
Speaker
Yeah, I told you that before.
00:11:17
Speaker
I'm going to be honest with you, older Sam, the whole dying thing, that's really relative here.
00:11:22
Speaker
Because we all watched Ashley die, and she's still around, I believe.
00:11:27
Speaker
That's fair.
00:11:28
Speaker
That's 100% fair.
00:11:30
Speaker
And according to you two, and he points at both Sams, you saw Chris die from his point of view, and he's still around, so... He's got a point.
00:11:41
Speaker
Like he's going to fucking answer.
Meeting the Creature 'Nobody'
00:11:43
Speaker
Nick.
00:11:43
Speaker
Nick.
00:11:47
Speaker
You need to say that so that way the listeners can hear you, can hear what you're doing.
00:11:55
Speaker
I didn't want to interrupt the conversation.
00:11:56
Speaker
I'm just letting you know what's going to happen later.
00:12:02
Speaker
Yes, let's antagonize the evil entity.
00:12:05
Speaker
Why don't we?
00:12:07
Speaker
That's a surprise tool for later.
00:12:10
Speaker
Guys, we have a really weird energy tonight.
00:12:15
Speaker
I'm liking this energy tonight.
00:12:17
Speaker
I hope we run into evil Chris because he don't want to deal with this shit.
00:12:21
Speaker
This is a gas leak episode.
00:12:26
Speaker
I don't know about y'all, but I haven't slept well in like a week, so I'm running on very little sleep.
00:12:31
Speaker
Hey, I haven't slept well in like seven months, so I get it.
00:12:36
Speaker
Is this the sleep deprived episode?
00:12:39
Speaker
Welcome to sleep deprivation.
00:12:40
Speaker
I'm adding it to the footnotes for a title.
00:12:43
Speaker
We're going to call this one slap happy.
00:12:47
Speaker
I'm also drinking.
00:12:48
Speaker
That's not helping.
00:12:49
Speaker
Disagree.
00:12:50
Speaker
It always helps.
00:12:54
Speaker
All right.
00:12:54
Speaker
So while everyone's having their conversation, Ned is going to send a message to the group chat to that new number.
00:13:01
Speaker
And I'm just going to say evil Chris, I assume question mark.
00:13:05
Speaker
And then after like five seconds after that, I'm going to send a gif image from Pulp Fiction that says, does he look like a bitch?
00:13:12
Speaker
And it's Samuel L. Jackson with the afro.
00:13:16
Speaker
The best Samuel L. Jackson.
00:13:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:21
Speaker
You get a Pulp Fiction gift back and it's John Travolta with the coat over his arm looking around like, where the fuck is it?
00:13:27
Speaker
What the fuck is happening?
00:13:30
Speaker
Y'all, that's gotta be evil Chris.
00:13:32
Speaker
I don't see how that could be anyone else.
00:13:33
Speaker
I think we need to beat feet.
00:13:35
Speaker
We need to get there quick.
00:13:36
Speaker
Everybody got your like pocket knives and flashlights and all your weird little trinkets and shit.
00:13:42
Speaker
Oh yeah, I'm trinketed up.
00:13:43
Speaker
I can't remember.
00:13:44
Speaker
As you're about to put your phone away, you see another text come in from this number.
00:13:51
Speaker
It says, I go by many names, but Evil Chris is not one of them.
00:13:57
Speaker
Sam texts back and says, are you the man in the suit?
00:14:03
Speaker
I own suits, yes.
00:14:05
Speaker
You're no fucking help.
00:14:07
Speaker
If you are asking if I am currently in a suit, the answer would be no.
00:14:12
Speaker
Are you in your birthday suit?
00:14:17
Speaker
You just get the devil horns emoji.
00:14:19
Speaker
Like the devil smile.
00:14:20
Speaker
Okay, well, if he's naked, I'm not going.
00:14:23
Speaker
Oh, yeah, nobody wants to fight somebody naked.
00:14:25
Speaker
Nope.
00:14:27
Speaker
He can have Ashley at that point.
00:14:30
Speaker
I don't know about that now.
00:14:31
Speaker
I started walking towards Ashley's house at a rapid pace.
00:14:38
Speaker
There ain't going to be no naked man near my girlfriend.
00:14:50
Speaker
Brian is going to run up and grab Ned's shoulder and say, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:54
Speaker
I know we need to go there, but this also may be a trap.
00:15:00
Speaker
So let's not just run straight in?
00:15:03
Speaker
It's not any worse than running towards the door of a movie theater.
00:15:06
Speaker
Right, Sam?
00:15:08
Speaker
We're not going to talk about that.
00:15:11
Speaker
All right.
00:15:12
Speaker
See, Sam agrees with me.
00:15:16
Speaker
As they're talking, Sam will text the number back saying, oh, fuck.
00:15:25
Speaker
What was I going to have her say?
00:15:28
Speaker
I got distracted.
00:15:29
Speaker
Hold on.
00:15:30
Speaker
It's there.
00:15:30
Speaker
Nope.
00:15:30
Speaker
It's gone.
00:15:31
Speaker
No.
00:15:31
Speaker
Yes.
00:15:34
Speaker
She's going to text it back saying.
00:15:38
Speaker
Hang on.
00:15:39
Speaker
Hang on.
00:15:40
Speaker
Hang on.
00:15:43
Speaker
Pregnancy brain filly does suck.
00:15:45
Speaker
Okay, guys.
00:15:46
Speaker
I literally had this whole thing planned out and then it just went.
00:15:51
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:51
Speaker
Retake that one without me laughing over you.
00:15:54
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:15:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:15:56
Speaker
Sam is going to text the number back as they're talking and ask, are you here to help us or harm us?
00:16:05
Speaker
Everybody roll me an alertness check.
00:16:09
Speaker
Ooh, first roll of the night.
00:16:12
Speaker
Dang it.
00:16:12
Speaker
That is a 24 on a 26.
00:16:15
Speaker
A 49 on a 67.
00:16:15
Speaker
A 55 on a 40.
00:16:25
Speaker
29 out of 68.
00:16:29
Speaker
As usual, Arthur doesn't fucking notice anything.
00:16:34
Speaker
I'm reading my book.
00:16:37
Speaker
But the rest of you notice that when Samantha sends that text, all of a sudden from the other side of the barn, you can hear a... What?
00:16:52
Speaker
What?
00:16:54
Speaker
Well, we'll surely never know where that person is.
00:16:58
Speaker
Ryan immediately levels his spear at the other end of the barn.
00:17:03
Speaker
As you level your spear at the other end of the barn, you see, crouched down on top of one of the stall posts, this humanoid-looking creature.
00:17:17
Speaker
I don't like how you're saying that.
00:17:19
Speaker
Well, I mean, it looks like a human, but...
00:17:22
Speaker
It's completely gray.
00:17:25
Speaker
It's got long limbs.
00:17:27
Speaker
It has this face that the best way I can describe it is his eyes are wide, but very sunken back into his head.
00:17:37
Speaker
He looks very got, if that makes sense.
00:17:40
Speaker
It's Magal, get him.
00:17:45
Speaker
And he looks at you and his head's kind of cocked.
00:17:50
Speaker
And he looks at you and he goes, helping is a relative term, don't you think so?
00:17:57
Speaker
Sweet Jesus.
00:17:58
Speaker
I don't like you.
00:18:01
Speaker
I don't like you.
00:18:02
Speaker
That's not Sam, that's Melanie.
00:18:05
Speaker
I don't like you.
00:18:07
Speaker
So, um, God?
00:18:11
Speaker
Yes?
00:18:13
Speaker
Does this trigger my dysmorphobia?
00:18:18
Speaker
Oh, I forgot you had that.
00:18:20
Speaker
Yes, it does.
00:18:21
Speaker
What is that?
00:18:22
Speaker
It's the phobia I got from hitting my breaking point last session.
00:18:31
Speaker
Basically, he has a phobia of things that look humanoid but are not human.
00:18:37
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:18:39
Speaker
So, Arthur.
00:18:40
Speaker
Fight, flight, or faint.
00:18:44
Speaker
Oh.
00:18:45
Speaker
Uh, uh, um, I'm gonna run.
00:18:50
Speaker
You're gonna run?
00:18:51
Speaker
And then what?
00:18:53
Speaker
Um, actually, how far away is it from me?
00:18:56
Speaker
It's on the other side of the barn.
00:18:58
Speaker
You guys are probably 40, 50 feet away from it.
00:19:01
Speaker
My barn is pretty big.
00:19:02
Speaker
It's fight, flight, or faint.
00:19:04
Speaker
You're gonna roll a d6.
00:19:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:07
Speaker
So you need to give me the order of what...
00:19:10
Speaker
Most likely to least likely what Arthur would do.
00:19:13
Speaker
I would probably flight, faint, and fight.
00:19:19
Speaker
Okay, so here's what you're going to do.
00:19:21
Speaker
You're going to roll a d6.
00:19:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:19:24
Speaker
One, two, or three, you're going to run away.
00:19:27
Speaker
Four, five, you're going to pass out.
00:19:30
Speaker
Six, you're going to charge it and try to attack.
00:19:35
Speaker
Don't be like Sam.
00:19:37
Speaker
Two.
00:19:42
Speaker
So as you lay eyes on this thing and it starts to talk, something in your brain just goes, nope.
00:19:49
Speaker
And you turn around and beat feet.
00:19:53
Speaker
Arthur doesn't say a word.
00:19:54
Speaker
His eyes just get fucking like massive and just run.
00:19:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:00
Speaker
Hey, Matt.
00:20:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:03
Speaker
Go ahead and remove your headphones for me, please.
00:20:05
Speaker
Oh, lordy.
00:20:06
Speaker
You got it.
00:20:08
Speaker
Oh, merciful Lord.
00:20:11
Speaker
That's a word for it.
00:20:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:23
Speaker
So you guys see Arthur just fucking hauls ass out of there and the creature goes, what's wrong with your friend?
00:20:36
Speaker
I don't know, maybe you scared the shit out of him like you almost did the rest of us?
00:20:42
Speaker
No.
00:20:43
Speaker
I'm not that scary, am I?
00:20:47
Speaker
Have you looked in the mirror lately?
00:20:49
Speaker
You see, before you can say anything else, he puts his hands down on the post in front of him and does a very graceful
00:20:59
Speaker
front flip off and lands in a crouch position in front of you guys.
00:21:05
Speaker
How tall is this thing?
00:21:07
Speaker
You haven't seen him standing straight up yet.
00:21:10
Speaker
But does he look little or does he look like normal human size?
00:21:12
Speaker
Oh, he looks... You get the idea that if he stood at full height, he's taller than you guys by a couple feet.
00:21:20
Speaker
What I'm picturing is like sun and moon from Security Breach, like that tall.
00:21:28
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair.
00:21:30
Speaker
Just a little bit taller than the average human height, yeah.
00:21:32
Speaker
Ryan is gonna slowly pull up his spear so it's just gonna point it up towards the ceiling and be like, so, where'd you get the cell phone?
00:21:43
Speaker
Oh, I don't have a cell phone.
00:21:47
Speaker
That's primitive.
00:21:51
Speaker
Um, but was it you texting us?
00:21:53
Speaker
Oh yeah, yeah, it was me.
00:21:55
Speaker
How?
00:21:57
Speaker
With my brain.
00:22:01
Speaker
You're lying.
00:22:02
Speaker
Your brain vibrated.
00:22:06
Speaker
I like to make noise.
00:22:08
Speaker
I'm going to look at older Sam to see what her reaction is.
00:22:14
Speaker
She is absolutely pale and not saying anything.
00:22:18
Speaker
She's just staring at this thing.
00:22:21
Speaker
So clearly she doesn't know what this thing is.
00:22:24
Speaker
Nope.
00:22:26
Speaker
Cool.
00:22:26
Speaker
Or she does know exactly what it is, and that's why she's so silent.
00:22:30
Speaker
That could also be.
00:22:32
Speaker
So, why don't you want us to go to Ashley's house?
00:22:36
Speaker
It would not end well for you.
00:22:41
Speaker
Okay, but like, why?
00:22:43
Speaker
Because you don't want to get hurt now, do you?
00:22:49
Speaker
Not particularly.
00:22:50
Speaker
Then it wouldn't end well for you.
00:22:54
Speaker
Do you have a name?
00:22:59
Speaker
Like I told you, I go by many names, but Evil Chris isn't one of them.
00:23:05
Speaker
But what do you call yourself?
00:23:08
Speaker
I don't call myself anything.
00:23:12
Speaker
Well?
00:23:13
Speaker
Why would I call myself anything?
00:23:16
Speaker
Then I'm just going to call you nobody.
00:23:19
Speaker
Nobody works.
00:23:20
Speaker
That's a new one.
00:23:22
Speaker
Okay, okay, I can't.
00:23:23
Speaker
That laugh.
00:23:29
Speaker
So what's your angle there, bud?
Arthur's Panic and Creature's Abilities
00:23:32
Speaker
Are you going to help us or?
00:23:34
Speaker
From the crouch position, about 45 degrees.
00:23:38
Speaker
Ned's going to start walking just straight towards this thing.
00:23:42
Speaker
Ned, what are you doing?
00:23:44
Speaker
If he wanted to hurt us, he was going to hurt us already.
00:23:47
Speaker
I'm going to walk up and be like six inches away from this thing.
00:23:51
Speaker
As you start walking towards him, you see the smile fade from his face and he stands up at full height.
00:23:56
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:23:57
Speaker
And he's a little bit taller than I may have let on.
00:24:01
Speaker
He's standing over you at about seven and a half feet.
00:24:05
Speaker
Sam's going to back the fuck up.
00:24:08
Speaker
Why shouldn't we go?
00:24:08
Speaker
You didn't answer that question.
00:24:10
Speaker
You just said, if you don't want to get hurt, that doesn't help anything.
00:24:13
Speaker
Why?
00:24:14
Speaker
What's there?
00:24:15
Speaker
Evil.
00:24:17
Speaker
And you're not?
00:24:19
Speaker
Like you said, if I wanted to hurt you, I would have done it already.
00:24:25
Speaker
Yeah, like the other things that already tried to kill us.
00:24:27
Speaker
I've already almost died three times in the last 12 hours.
00:24:31
Speaker
So the fact that we're having a conversation and not attacking each other should be good for you, right?
00:24:42
Speaker
Ryan is going to come up behind Ned and clap a hand over his mouth and just be like, I apologize for him.
00:24:47
Speaker
He's having a bad day.
00:24:49
Speaker
Just give us a second.
00:24:50
Speaker
And he's going to drag Ned back.
00:24:52
Speaker
I'm going to resist that.
00:24:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:57
Speaker
So you guys know what to do.
00:24:58
Speaker
I'm going to need opposed strength checks.
00:25:02
Speaker
Strength.
00:25:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:04
Speaker
Would Ryan get advantage if I tried to help?
00:25:08
Speaker
Yes.
00:25:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:10
Speaker
So how does advantage work?
00:25:12
Speaker
Advantage works where Ryan can roll the 10 spot.
00:25:15
Speaker
So the dice that has 10, 20, 30, 40, he can roll that one twice and take the lower of the two or the higher of the two, whatever gives him the advantage.
00:25:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:28
Speaker
Since it's an opposed thing.
00:25:29
Speaker
Sam is going to help Ryan.
00:25:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:31
Speaker
I got a 60 out of 70.
00:25:32
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:39
Speaker
No, I rolled the same thing twice.
00:25:41
Speaker
I got a 67 out of 75.
00:25:44
Speaker
So he is able to pull you away, Ned.
00:25:50
Speaker
As Ryan's pulling away, he's just like, Ned, I know you're upset, but shut the fuck up.
00:25:55
Speaker
You wanted to leave the goddamn movie theater.
00:25:58
Speaker
We saw how that played out.
00:26:00
Speaker
Maybe somebody else can take a lead for a quick second.
00:26:03
Speaker
Yeah, that's great, except don't antagonize the first thing it hasn't tried to kill us in two seconds.
00:26:08
Speaker
I didn't antagonize anything.
00:26:12
Speaker
Give me an alert, Jack.
00:26:13
Speaker
I walked up to him.
00:26:15
Speaker
A what?
00:26:16
Speaker
I need all three of you to give me alertness.
00:26:19
Speaker
Ooh.
00:26:20
Speaker
Ah, fuck.
00:26:21
Speaker
That didn't go good.
00:26:22
Speaker
Nope.
00:26:22
Speaker
61 on a 26.
00:26:22
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:23
Speaker
Nat 8 on a 67.
00:26:24
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:31
Speaker
Uh, 92 on a 68.
00:26:33
Speaker
Oof.
00:26:34
Speaker
Oof.
00:26:35
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:36
Speaker
As you guys are talking, Ryan, you turn Ned around to have a conversation with him, and you glance over Ned's shoulder and the creature's gone.
00:26:46
Speaker
And with that, I need you guys to take off your headset so I can check in with Sir Matt.
00:26:52
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:26:53
Speaker
Ooh.
00:26:54
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:27:01
Speaker
Okay, so you hit your fight, flight, or faint, and you hauled ass.
00:27:08
Speaker
So what are you doing?
00:27:12
Speaker
I'm trying to find, like, just a spot to hide.
00:27:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:17
Speaker
Maybe like a bush or maybe like a hollowed out tree.
00:27:20
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:21
Speaker
Something to hide.
00:27:23
Speaker
So...
00:27:28
Speaker
I would say... Let me see what skills we have here that I can make you do.
00:27:34
Speaker
Because I don't want to make you roll alertness.
00:27:36
Speaker
That's dumb.
00:27:38
Speaker
What about... Why don't you roll me a survival?
00:27:41
Speaker
Oh, boy.
00:27:48
Speaker
Well, that's a fucking no.
00:27:51
Speaker
75 on a 10.
00:27:53
Speaker
Oh, you didn't put anything into survival.
00:27:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:55
Speaker
Um...
00:27:56
Speaker
No, shut up.
00:27:57
Speaker
What else could I make you... Okay, so you're running.
00:28:04
Speaker
You failed that one.
00:28:07
Speaker
You're still going.
00:28:09
Speaker
Still going.
00:28:11
Speaker
Starting to breathe a little heavy.
00:28:14
Speaker
You've been running a while, so you start to slow.
00:28:18
Speaker
You turn around and glance over your shoulder.
00:28:20
Speaker
You still see the barn.
00:28:22
Speaker
But the barn is...
00:28:26
Speaker
It's pretty far away by now.
00:28:28
Speaker
You hauled ass pretty hard.
00:28:32
Speaker
And you stop.
00:28:34
Speaker
And... What's running through your head right now?
00:28:40
Speaker
Gotta get away, gotta get away, but as soon as I stop, I'm like, wait a minute.
00:28:45
Speaker
I'm alone.
00:28:47
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:28:52
Speaker
I should probably get back to my friend's
00:28:56
Speaker
I'm going to look around to my surroundings immediately.
00:28:58
Speaker
I'm like, I gotta, I gotta nut up or shut up.
00:29:03
Speaker
I kind of like smack myself in the face.
00:29:05
Speaker
Like, come on, Arthur.
00:29:07
Speaker
Get your gooseberries in a fucking, in a bunch of, get back to your goddamn friends.
00:29:14
Speaker
I'm trying to hype myself back up.
00:29:17
Speaker
I'm not going to make you roll alertness for this because I want you to see it.
00:29:22
Speaker
Why?
00:29:22
Speaker
You think I'm going to fail or something?
00:29:25
Speaker
What?
00:29:27
Speaker
Your phone goes off.
00:29:28
Speaker
You get a text message.
00:29:30
Speaker
It's from that number.
00:29:32
Speaker
And it just says, oh, are we playing hide and seek?
00:29:36
Speaker
Oh, sweet Jesus.
00:29:40
Speaker
Arthur has a shield on his spine.
00:29:42
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:29:44
Speaker
And I just say, fuck off with Garfield flipping them off because that's obviously a gift somewhere.
00:29:51
Speaker
I can come collect you if you'd like.
00:29:53
Speaker
Oh, sweet Jesus.
00:29:56
Speaker
After I read that, I'm going to start booking it back to the group.
00:29:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:03
Speaker
I'd rather deal with the monster I know instead of the unknown fucking voice that we're getting a message from.
00:30:11
Speaker
I might not run into the barn immediately, but I'm going to run back to where my friends are.
00:30:15
Speaker
They are still in the barn.
00:30:17
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:19
Speaker
I feel like I calmed myself down for a millisecond and then I got a goddamn text message that just brought my anxiety to 200.
00:30:27
Speaker
So you're running back to the barn?
00:30:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:30
Speaker
I'm full tilt.
00:30:32
Speaker
I'm fucking fully freaked, so I'm not really checking.
00:30:35
Speaker
I'm just fucking running.
00:30:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:37
Speaker
As you're running back to the barn, you hear from behind you, I found you!
00:30:43
Speaker
Oh my god!
00:30:44
Speaker
Oh my god!
00:30:45
Speaker
I hate this.
00:30:49
Speaker
I hate this and I hate you.
00:30:51
Speaker
And all of a sudden there are arms wrapped around your torso.
00:30:58
Speaker
Arthur screams the loudest scream he's ever screamed.
00:31:06
Speaker
I'm not going to do that because I'm not going to subject my apartment.
00:31:10
Speaker
That's fair.
00:31:10
Speaker
That's fair.
00:31:12
Speaker
Are you going to try to resist it or what?
00:31:15
Speaker
Oh, yes.
00:31:16
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:31:17
Speaker
I'm fighting for my life.
00:31:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:19
Speaker
Screaming, fighting, kicking, trying to squirm my way out of it.
00:31:24
Speaker
Before you're able to try to physically resist it, we're going to try to mentally resist it.
00:31:30
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:31:30
Speaker
So I need you to roll me a contested power roll.
00:31:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:37
Speaker
Oh my god, dude.
00:31:38
Speaker
These dice.
00:31:39
Speaker
I'm swapping them.
00:31:42
Speaker
55 out of 50.
00:31:44
Speaker
Ooh.
00:31:45
Speaker
I know.
00:31:46
Speaker
And I rolled an ought one.
00:31:48
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:31:51
Speaker
So you are limp and not able to move.
00:31:54
Speaker
Oh, god.
00:31:57
Speaker
And all of a sudden you feel like your body is being tugged in a way that you can't
Arthur's Disorienting Experience
00:32:04
Speaker
describe.
00:32:04
Speaker
Like it's like in the pit of your chest.
00:32:06
Speaker
It feels like it's just being sucked through something and your vision gets all blurry.
00:32:12
Speaker
And it's like, it's almost like someone knocked your glasses off and then put a very colorful kaleidoscope right in front of you.
00:32:19
Speaker
Like all kinds of different colors and shapes moving around.
00:32:23
Speaker
You can't focus on anything.
00:32:26
Speaker
And then all of a sudden,
00:32:29
Speaker
I can't snap tonight, apparently.
00:32:30
Speaker
All of a sudden, you're back in the barn.
00:32:34
Speaker
Huh?
00:32:36
Speaker
You're facing your friends.
00:32:38
Speaker
What?
00:32:39
Speaker
And you feel the constriction around you let go and you're able to move freely.
00:32:42
Speaker
What?
00:32:43
Speaker
And with that, I'm going to get everyone else back in.
00:32:46
Speaker
What the fuck?
00:32:47
Speaker
What the fuck?
00:32:54
Speaker
So Ryan, last thing that you saw was you guys were talking and you looked over Ned's shoulder and the creature was gone.
00:33:02
Speaker
Yes.
00:33:03
Speaker
You guys are wondering where the hell did it go?
00:33:05
Speaker
And after about five seconds, you hear a... As it pops back into existence in front of you, holding Arthur.
00:33:17
Speaker
Holding Arthur?
00:33:18
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:33:21
Speaker
And it has this big grin on its face.
00:33:25
Speaker
And really gently, very nicely sets Arthur down, feet on the ground, lets go of him.
00:33:33
Speaker
And he goes, we played hide and seek and I won.
00:33:40
Speaker
How far away did he place Arthur from us?
00:33:44
Speaker
Right in front of him.
00:33:44
Speaker
But he just he came back into the same point he was at and just let Arthur go.
00:33:52
Speaker
Like, he's not... You guys get the feeling that this thing really thought that him and Arthur were just playing a game and just brought him back like, ah, I got him.
00:34:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:04
Speaker
Arthur frantically scurries back to his group and he's hiding behind them.
00:34:09
Speaker
Yes, Sam reaches out her arms and pulls Arthur over.
00:34:14
Speaker
Shaking like a fucking chinchilla out in the rain.
00:34:21
Speaker
But Ryan, still holding Ned, just says, can you teach me to teleport like that?
00:34:28
Speaker
Absolutely not.
00:34:30
Speaker
Humans can't do that.
00:34:31
Speaker
You're mad I wanted to talk to it, but you're going to ask it to teach you shit?
00:34:36
Speaker
I'm sorry, would you like to fight Negachris without the ability to teleport or with the ability to teleport?
00:34:42
Speaker
Wow.
00:34:44
Speaker
All right.
00:34:48
Speaker
Well?
00:34:49
Speaker
Is this thing a child?
00:34:52
Speaker
You kind of get that feeling.
00:34:56
Speaker
Ryan turns to him and is like, how old are you?
00:35:01
Speaker
What is old?
00:35:06
Speaker
How many times has the planet gone around the sun since you've been alive?
00:35:09
Speaker
Ned looks at the sky that hasn't changed once.
00:35:15
Speaker
Exactly.
00:35:16
Speaker
Hey, excuse me.
00:35:18
Speaker
He knows how to tap into cell phones.
00:35:20
Speaker
I'm assuming he knows a little bit more than he's letting on.
00:35:22
Speaker
I don't know what the sun is.
00:35:25
Speaker
What's a sun?
00:35:29
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:31
Speaker
Never mind.
00:35:34
Speaker
Sam looks over to older Sam.
00:35:38
Speaker
As she's, you know, cradling the shaking chinchilla.
00:35:40
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:35:44
Speaker
And goes, um, we need answers.
00:35:47
Speaker
What the fuck is that thing?
00:35:50
Speaker
Do you think I have answers?
00:35:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:52
Speaker
I'm just as confused as you are.
00:35:53
Speaker
I've never seen this thing before in my life.
00:35:56
Speaker
I don't believe you.
00:35:57
Speaker
You can roll a human on it if you want.
00:35:59
Speaker
Me?
00:36:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:02
Speaker
Sure.
00:36:03
Speaker
That's not going to go very well, because... Hold on.
00:36:08
Speaker
Hold on.
00:36:09
Speaker
Damn it.
00:36:11
Speaker
That was a 15 out of 11.
00:36:14
Speaker
You can burn for luck if you want.
00:36:17
Speaker
Sure.
00:36:17
Speaker
I haven't used any of my luck, so I'll burn for luck.
Exploring 'Nobody's' Powers
00:36:20
Speaker
Where the hell is my luck?
00:36:23
Speaker
In the top section, I think.
00:36:26
Speaker
Where'd I have you guys put luck?
00:36:28
Speaker
The very bottom.
00:36:30
Speaker
Oh.
00:36:32
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:36:32
Speaker
I will definitely burn for luck.
00:36:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:37
Speaker
After burning for luck, you can tell she's being 100% honest with you.
00:36:43
Speaker
She has no clue what this thing is.
00:36:49
Speaker
Ryan just turns to him and says, Hey buddy, what are you?
00:36:53
Speaker
They call me a jumper.
00:36:57
Speaker
I mean, that makes sense.
00:36:59
Speaker
I'm still going to call you nobody.
00:37:01
Speaker
That's fine.
00:37:02
Speaker
I like having new names.
00:37:05
Speaker
We have to kill it.
00:37:08
Speaker
Kill it with a gun.
00:37:10
Speaker
Someone's got to have a gun, right?
00:37:11
Speaker
Come on.
00:37:13
Speaker
Sam just starts stroking Earther's hair like, it's okay.
00:37:16
Speaker
It's all right.
00:37:21
Speaker
How many people can you jump with at one time?
00:37:25
Speaker
I don't know.
00:37:26
Speaker
I've never tried.
00:37:29
Speaker
Do you want to play a little game?
00:37:30
Speaker
You want to try to do two people at once right now?
00:37:34
Speaker
I look over at Ryan like, just trust me.
00:37:39
Speaker
Ryan's just giving him a wide-eyed look of like, okay, where did this come from?
00:37:46
Speaker
We could try, but can't blame me if it doesn't end well.
00:37:53
Speaker
Well, you brought Arthur back, right?
00:37:57
Speaker
Awesome, awesome.
00:37:59
Speaker
And one is all I've ever tried it with.
00:38:02
Speaker
How far can you jump?
00:38:04
Speaker
It's got to be a lot of fun.
00:38:06
Speaker
It is so much fun.
00:38:08
Speaker
It's so fun.
00:38:10
Speaker
It's like a fun game.
00:38:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:15
Speaker
Real quick, before we might try something, are there any more of you?
00:38:19
Speaker
Other creatures like you?
00:38:22
Speaker
You see his face goes like from happy and joyous to straight face and he goes, I don't talk about the others.
00:38:30
Speaker
They're mean.
00:38:32
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:38:32
Speaker
Okay.
00:38:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:38:33
Speaker
No, I don't want to make you upset.
00:38:34
Speaker
I want to be your friend.
00:38:36
Speaker
Right?
00:38:36
Speaker
Right, guys?
00:38:37
Speaker
We want to be his friend, right?
00:38:40
Speaker
Right.
00:38:41
Speaker
No!
00:38:43
Speaker
Thanks for bringing our buddy back.
00:38:45
Speaker
Arthur got scared and that's... It's okay.
00:38:48
Speaker
But thank you for bringing him back to us.
00:38:50
Speaker
Thank you very much.
00:38:53
Speaker
It was fun.
00:38:56
Speaker
I like fun.
00:38:57
Speaker
I'm going to look to Ryan since he's like the one who's right next to me.
00:39:03
Speaker
Uh, man, if... If we can make friends with this thing, he might be able to move us around town a lot quicker.
00:39:10
Speaker
Ryan is gonna slowly turn his head from looking at the creature to look at Ned and just go, I don't think he's gonna wanna be at taxi service.
00:39:21
Speaker
But, I mean... He's acting like a little kid, man.
00:39:25
Speaker
Like, I'm not even really that afraid of what I'm saying out loud, because he didn't know what a name was until you called him nobody.
00:39:33
Speaker
Yeah, and the moment he gets bored, he's gonna stop wanting to do something.
00:39:38
Speaker
So maybe don't force him to basically have a job?
00:39:42
Speaker
You asked him to be your mentor.
00:39:45
Speaker
Well, yeah.
00:39:46
Speaker
Teaching a human to teleport would probably be a lot more fun than just jumping between two spots because we need to, you know, I don't know, go to the bathroom or some shit.
00:39:58
Speaker
How far can you go in one jump, man?
00:40:01
Speaker
Nobody?
00:40:02
Speaker
Sorry?
00:40:03
Speaker
That's your name now, right?
00:40:04
Speaker
Nobody?
00:40:05
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:06
Speaker
Yeah, nobody.
00:40:07
Speaker
I like nobody.
00:40:08
Speaker
You'd call me nobody.
00:40:11
Speaker
I can jump so far.
00:40:14
Speaker
That doesn't help.
00:40:17
Speaker
Wait, wait, wait.
00:40:18
Speaker
Hold on.
00:40:18
Speaker
I have an idea.
00:40:19
Speaker
Do you know that really crazy little... It looks like a little house and it's in a tree.
00:40:25
Speaker
Do you know where that's at?
00:40:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:28
Speaker
You do?
00:40:29
Speaker
I like that place.
00:40:30
Speaker
You do?
00:40:30
Speaker
That place is nice.
00:40:32
Speaker
Awesome.
00:40:33
Speaker
Can you, just cause I want to see how far you can really jump.
00:40:36
Speaker
Can you go there and bring us back one of the fire sticks that was there?
00:40:41
Speaker
We call it a candle.
00:40:43
Speaker
Ryan, did you take all the candles?
00:40:48
Speaker
He would have grabbed a couple or a bunch of them, but he wouldn't have taken every single one.
00:40:52
Speaker
You made it sound like there was a lot.
00:40:54
Speaker
I mean, there was a lot, but I didn't know how many it took either.
00:40:59
Speaker
Not all of them.
00:41:00
Speaker
That would be a hassle.
00:41:03
Speaker
Okay.
00:41:04
Speaker
Especially after we had a fight there.
00:41:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:41:09
Speaker
So he kind of cocks his head the other way and goes...
00:41:15
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:41:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:18
Speaker
Yeah, I'll bring back a fire stick.
00:41:22
Speaker
And then he's gone.
00:41:27
Speaker
All right, let's get the fuck out of here.
00:41:31
Speaker
I agree with Arthur.
00:41:33
Speaker
If you need to stand outside, stand outside.
00:41:35
Speaker
But this is the first thing that hasn't tried to kill us.
00:41:38
Speaker
The last time he stood outside, it just brought him back.
00:41:42
Speaker
Sam, you should take Arthur outside.
00:41:44
Speaker
I feel like we might be able to use this guy for some... I don't know.
00:41:48
Speaker
I agree with you guys.
00:41:50
Speaker
Last time one of us went outside, Arthur, he was instantly teleported back here.
00:41:56
Speaker
But he also said he hasn't been able to transport more than one person.
00:42:02
Speaker
No, he said he hasn't tried.
00:42:04
Speaker
And he did say it might not end well.
00:42:07
Speaker
Shut up, God.
00:42:07
Speaker
Um...
00:42:10
Speaker
I appreciate the fact that you look at your older self as a god, but... I thought that was you.
00:42:18
Speaker
I forget that older Sam is here because she has my fucking face.
00:42:24
Speaker
Look, I'm just saying, we're talking to this thing like it's a child.
00:42:28
Speaker
Maybe we can convince it like it's a child.
00:42:32
Speaker
I got your fire stick.
00:42:34
Speaker
No way.
00:42:35
Speaker
Hold on.
00:42:36
Speaker
Let me see that.
00:42:36
Speaker
Let me see that.
00:42:37
Speaker
And I put my hands out.
00:42:40
Speaker
He gives you a stick that is on fire.
00:42:49
Speaker
Well, I didn't even have to go all the way to the little house to get this one.
00:42:54
Speaker
Wait, then where'd you go?
00:42:58
Speaker
I found a stick and lit it on fire.
00:43:01
Speaker
That wasn't hard.
00:43:05
Speaker
This thing's naked, right?
00:43:08
Speaker
Yes.
00:43:09
Speaker
How did you light it on fire?
00:43:13
Speaker
Same way I sent you words on your little phones with my brain.
00:43:20
Speaker
You can set things on fire with your mind.
00:43:27
Speaker
I mean, he sent a text message through a digital system.
00:43:30
Speaker
I think setting something on fire is probably easier.
00:43:34
Speaker
As you guys start talking, you see his arms are like behind his back, not like hiding anything, just like resting there.
00:43:41
Speaker
And he's just kind of using his head and swaying back and forth with a smile on his face like he's waiting for something.
00:43:48
Speaker
Like just da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:43:51
Speaker
Well, you gave me something.
00:43:54
Speaker
Here, hold on, hold on.
00:43:55
Speaker
I got something for you.
00:43:57
Speaker
And I fidget through the, like,
00:44:00
Speaker
man purse that I got from Arthur's house and I grabbed one of my two flashlights and I'm like, here you go.
00:44:06
Speaker
Check this thing out.
00:44:09
Speaker
Do you turn the flashlight on?
00:44:11
Speaker
Nope.
00:44:12
Speaker
I hand it to him and let him look at it.
00:44:15
Speaker
He slowly takes it from you.
00:44:18
Speaker
Hey buddy, see that little black part on the top of it?
00:44:21
Speaker
Push that down.
00:44:21
Speaker
Just push that down into it.
00:44:24
Speaker
I don't see this going well.
00:44:26
Speaker
As he takes it out of your hand, you feel his fingers run across your hand as he picks it up.
00:44:32
Speaker
Salad fingers.
00:44:33
Speaker
And he is cold to the touch.
00:44:38
Speaker
So cold to the touch.
00:44:41
Speaker
And he picks it up and he's looking at it.
00:44:45
Speaker
And he clicks the light.
00:44:51
Speaker
And he's looking down into the light.
00:44:55
Speaker
Oh man, you shouldn't look right at it.
00:44:57
Speaker
Don't look right at it.
00:44:57
Speaker
That's not really good for your eyes.
00:44:59
Speaker
And as the light turns on, you see his skin start to burn and he screeches out in pain as he chokes the flashlight back at you.
00:45:11
Speaker
After he's done screaming out, he goes, I gave you fire stick and you heard me?
00:45:17
Speaker
I didn't, I couldn't have known.
00:45:22
Speaker
I couldn't have known.
00:45:24
Speaker
Sam is starting to like reach out and try and grab it.
00:45:27
Speaker
Ned's.
00:45:29
Speaker
I almost called you Nick.
00:45:31
Speaker
I mean, you're right either way.
00:45:32
Speaker
I know I'm right either way, but we need to go for Ned's arm, not Nick's arm.
00:45:38
Speaker
For Ned's arm to kind of like pull him back to get him away from the thing.
00:45:46
Speaker
I thought we were friends and you gave me something to hurt me.
00:45:53
Speaker
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, wait, wait, hold on.
00:45:55
Speaker
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:45:56
Speaker
I put my hands up in the air still holding the fire stick.
00:45:59
Speaker
Hold on.
00:46:01
Speaker
I didn't know the flashlight could hurt you.
00:46:03
Speaker
Did you know that the fire stick could hurt me?
00:46:05
Speaker
Did you know that?
00:46:07
Speaker
I did not know that.
00:46:09
Speaker
Wait, hold on, watch, watch, just, just, just, just watch.
00:46:14
Speaker
And...
00:46:15
Speaker
I'm going to like hold it close enough to my arm to where it starts to singe the hairs away so that he can see it's damaging the top of my arm.
00:46:25
Speaker
You see his eyes narrow as he studies a situation and for a second you think you want him over, but then he cocks his head to the other side and he goes, the difference is you asked for the fire stick.
00:46:42
Speaker
I thought you'd like it.
00:46:45
Speaker
If we knew it was going to hurt you, we wouldn't have given it to you.
00:46:49
Speaker
We've never seen anything like you before, so we didn't know.
00:46:58
Speaker
We haven't been here all this long, so we don't know a lot of things.
00:47:05
Speaker
Oh no.
00:47:09
Speaker
I missed my dice tower.
00:47:10
Speaker
76 on a 50-50, he does not believe you.
00:47:16
Speaker
Sam with Arthur in tow kind of just starts to back away towards the barn, the open barn doors.
00:47:24
Speaker
His eyes instantly snap at you and then.
00:47:31
Speaker
Where do you think you're?
00:47:34
Speaker
Nowhere.
00:47:35
Speaker
Hey, hey, nobody.
00:47:38
Speaker
If you want to leave, you can leave and never see us again.
00:47:43
Speaker
I mean, we literally can't jump like you do.
00:47:46
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:47:48
Speaker
I'll be watching.
00:47:51
Speaker
And again, we can't stop you.
00:47:53
Speaker
So if you want to, go ahead.
00:47:55
Speaker
I'm sure it'll be interesting to watch us.
00:47:56
Speaker
Just, we're sorry.
00:47:59
Speaker
Go ahead and leave.
00:48:01
Speaker
He looks at you all.
00:48:03
Speaker
And in an instant, reaches out and grabs old Samantha by, like, the front of her shirt and pulls her in.
00:48:13
Speaker
And just kind of studies her for a second.
00:48:16
Speaker
And then, still looking at her, wraps his arms around Sam and Arthur.
00:48:23
Speaker
Pulls the two in.
00:48:26
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:48:27
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:48:28
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:48:29
Speaker
Arthur's eyes are not focusing on him at all.
00:48:34
Speaker
Trying to keep his eyes away from nobody as best he can.
00:48:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:48:39
Speaker
He lets go of old Sam, and old Sam just stands in front of him.
00:48:44
Speaker
Seems like she's almost frozen in place.
00:48:48
Speaker
And lightning fast, he reaches out and...
00:48:52
Speaker
You guys see something impossible, but his arm extends and in one big swipe pulls Ryan and Ned into a tight hug on the other side.
00:49:11
Speaker
So all four of you are restrained and he reaches out and clasps his hands together.
Arrival at Ashley's House
00:49:19
Speaker
And in doing so, pulls old Samantha in to this big embrace.
00:49:25
Speaker
You guys are all being held by him.
00:49:27
Speaker
Can I get my flashlight out?
00:49:29
Speaker
My other one?
00:49:31
Speaker
Your arms are pinned at your side.
00:49:34
Speaker
Even when he extended his arms out to grab old Sam, I didn't have a quick second to try and reach down to grab it.
00:49:41
Speaker
No, because it was more like at that point it was just his forearm stretching.
00:49:45
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:49:46
Speaker
Like he still had you tighten his arms.
00:49:48
Speaker
Damn.
00:49:53
Speaker
And he looks down at you, Ned, and he goes, you wanted to try more than one, right?
00:50:01
Speaker
Not like this.
00:50:02
Speaker
Not like this.
00:50:06
Speaker
Let's have some fun.
00:50:09
Speaker
I'm sorry, everybody.
00:50:11
Speaker
If you want me to trust you again, we're going to play a game.
00:50:19
Speaker
What are the rules to this game?
00:50:21
Speaker
Hold on tight.
00:50:25
Speaker
I was afraid of that.
00:50:28
Speaker
And you guys see...
00:50:33
Speaker
It feels like... Arthur, you already know this feeling intimately.
00:50:39
Speaker
It feels like something grabbed you by the chest and is pulling you through a pipe.
00:50:48
Speaker
Like, originating at your chest.
00:50:49
Speaker
Like, that's where you're being dragged by.
00:50:52
Speaker
And it's as if...
00:50:56
Speaker
Your vision is blurry and a very bright kaleidoscope showed up in front of your face.
00:51:02
Speaker
You see all these colors and all these shapes that are merging in and out of each other as you're being pulled by your chest.
00:51:11
Speaker
Not harmful, just that's where you feel the pressure from and all these colors and it feels like the pressure is just pulling in on you.
00:51:19
Speaker
And as you think you just can't take the pressure anymore, you guys are standing outside.
00:51:28
Speaker
And you're standing in front of Ashley's house.
00:51:32
Speaker
And he lets go.
00:51:35
Speaker
Sam immediately drops to her knees and throws up.
00:51:38
Speaker
Likewise.
00:51:39
Speaker
Yeah, that's a fair response, yeah.
00:51:45
Speaker
Ryan just starts breathing heavy and just says, God, is that what Mario feels like every time he goes through a pipe?
00:51:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:58
Speaker
And then Ryan is going to look for nobody to see if he's still there.
00:52:03
Speaker
He is.
00:52:04
Speaker
But he's kind of backed away a little bit now.
00:52:06
Speaker
Oh yeah, Arthur's keeping a wide berth.
00:52:12
Speaker
Is older Sam there?
00:52:14
Speaker
Yes.
00:52:14
Speaker
And she has kept her composure and is just staring at him and very solemnly just nods as a sign of thank you.
00:52:26
Speaker
Ryan just says, I'm going to be honest, nobody.
00:52:29
Speaker
That was both terrifying and very impressive.
00:52:33
Speaker
That was kind of a fun game.
00:52:36
Speaker
I'm just, I'm happy I didn't leave parts of you behind.
00:52:39
Speaker
Parts of us behind?
00:52:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:46
Speaker
I mean, the hole that I jumped through is only so big.
00:52:52
Speaker
I could have very easily left someone's legs back at the barn, but I didn't.
00:52:58
Speaker
Appreciate that.
00:53:00
Speaker
You are very talented.
00:53:03
Speaker
I was going to say the same thing.
00:53:07
Speaker
This is where you wanted to be, correct?
00:53:11
Speaker
Um, kinda.
00:53:14
Speaker
We were still deciding.
00:53:16
Speaker
Well, decision made.
00:53:18
Speaker
Yeah, I noticed.
00:53:22
Speaker
Um, do you eat?
00:53:26
Speaker
Yes, I do.
00:53:27
Speaker
I don't like the way you said that.
00:53:30
Speaker
Ryan is going to pull out a bag of jerky from Cryptic Crafts, the Sasquatch jerky, and hold it out to him and be like, there's dried meat in here?
00:53:40
Speaker
I don't know if that's something you like.
00:53:42
Speaker
I love meat.
00:53:47
Speaker
And he reaches out and takes the bag from you, and you also feel, as his fingers run across your hand to pick up the bag, just how cold and clammy his skin is.
00:54:01
Speaker
Ryan resists with all his might to not violently flinch at that feeling.
00:54:07
Speaker
That's fair.
00:54:08
Speaker
That is fair.
00:54:12
Speaker
Um, if you ever want more nobody, you can always pop in and ask for some.
00:54:18
Speaker
I can't promise to have some forever, but I can try.
00:54:25
Speaker
We'll see how good it is first.
00:54:29
Speaker
That's fair.
00:54:31
Speaker
But you guys do what you have to do here.
00:54:35
Speaker
I will be on my way.
00:54:39
Speaker
Wait, how...
00:54:42
Speaker
How do we get in contact with you again?
00:54:46
Speaker
With your phone.
00:54:48
Speaker
Oh, right.
00:54:49
Speaker
I told you I can hear it with my mind.
00:54:50
Speaker
Yes, that's right.
00:54:54
Speaker
Are you the reason why people don't answer their calls?
00:54:59
Speaker
No, I don't.
00:55:00
Speaker
I don't interfere at all.
00:55:02
Speaker
Oh.
00:55:04
Speaker
Damn, I was hoping you were going to say yes.
00:55:07
Speaker
And I continue to vomit.
00:55:10
Speaker
At this point, older Samantha turns around and is facing Ashley's house.
00:55:16
Speaker
Is she like in like a stoic trance or something or is she just?
00:55:20
Speaker
She's very stone faced, yes.
00:55:23
Speaker
Well, we're going to figure out what we're going to do.
00:55:25
Speaker
Nobody.
00:55:26
Speaker
So enjoy the meat if you like it.
00:55:31
Speaker
Okay, thank you.
00:55:32
Speaker
Goodbye, everybody.
00:55:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:55:38
Speaker
What the fuck?
00:55:42
Speaker
We should definitely not talk to that thing again.
00:55:47
Speaker
Arthur?
00:55:50
Speaker
You literally have a book on these things.
00:55:53
Speaker
Yeah, I know.
00:55:55
Speaker
I know.
00:55:55
Speaker
There's a difference between having a book and being kidnapped by one.
00:56:00
Speaker
It's a little different.
00:56:04
Speaker
As they're talking, Sam is going to get up and walk over to older Sam.
00:56:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:56:14
Speaker
And kind of see if she's like, I know she's very stoic, but she's going to kind of walk over to her and kind of like tap her on the shoulder and see if like she's in some sort of trance or something like that.
00:56:31
Speaker
As you tap her on the shoulder, she kind of snaps out of like it.
00:56:37
Speaker
It was almost like she was staring off into space and she just looks down at you and is like, oh, hi.
00:56:45
Speaker
Sorry.
00:56:49
Speaker
I haven't been here since they left.
00:56:54
Speaker
You sure you're OK?
00:56:56
Speaker
No, no, I'm not.
00:56:57
Speaker
Because you're kind of freaking me out.
00:57:01
Speaker
You know as well as I do my feelings towards Ashley and Chris.
00:57:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:07
Speaker
Being here is kind of hard.
00:57:09
Speaker
Well, clearly.
00:57:10
Speaker
But, uh, again, you're kind of freaking me out a little bit.
00:57:15
Speaker
I feel like you know something more than you're letting out.
00:57:18
Speaker
No.
00:57:19
Speaker
No, I don't know.
00:57:21
Speaker
But now that they're gone, I'm just afraid of what we're going to find here.
00:57:24
Speaker
Sam, kind of nod a little bit and look towards Ashley's house.
00:57:31
Speaker
And while everybody's still kind of talking, she just decides to walk towards the door to see if it's unlocked.
00:57:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:57:40
Speaker
Does Ryan notice this?
00:57:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:57:44
Speaker
I mean, they weren't talking like privately or anything.
00:57:47
Speaker
Great.
00:57:48
Speaker
Ryan spins around and points at Sam and goes, don't you fucking touch that door.
00:57:56
Speaker
What?
00:57:57
Speaker
Does Sam have something like, you know, a habit of getting into trouble or something like that?
00:58:02
Speaker
What are you trying to say, Ryan?
00:58:05
Speaker
I'm saying we were told not to go here, otherwise we'd get hurt.
00:58:09
Speaker
So walking into the place, just through the front door, probably not the best idea.
00:58:14
Speaker
Well, I just wanted to see if it was locked.
00:58:17
Speaker
The last time you said that, you attacked a door.
Exploration of Ashley's House
00:58:22
Speaker
The last time she said that, she got choked out by a demon.
00:58:26
Speaker
You're not wrong.
00:58:27
Speaker
Now that I think about it, Samantha does not have a good track record with doors, does she?
00:58:31
Speaker
No.
00:58:32
Speaker
No.
00:58:33
Speaker
She doesn't.
00:58:37
Speaker
Sam, you're the one who said it way back when.
00:58:40
Speaker
We don't split up.
00:58:42
Speaker
I wasn't gonna split up.
00:58:43
Speaker
I just...
00:58:46
Speaker
I wanted to see if the door is unlocked.
00:58:48
Speaker
I- I'm- Splitting up ten feet got you in a chokehold.
00:58:51
Speaker
I don't want that to happen again.
00:58:52
Speaker
We don't have that weird creature thing we almost killed that tried to end up defending us.
00:58:58
Speaker
Splitting up fifteen got, uh, Arthur kidnapped.
00:59:02
Speaker
Then get your asses over here so we can go through the damn door.
00:59:05
Speaker
Ryan just says, maybe we should maybe glance through a couple of windows, maybe, you know, bang on the walls to see if anything comes to try to kill us so we can run away outside rather than inside.
00:59:17
Speaker
At that old Samantha walks past and puts her hand on young Samantha's shoulder and she goes, my friends are gone.
00:59:27
Speaker
They're back home.
00:59:30
Speaker
I'm here alone.
00:59:31
Speaker
Let me go through first.
00:59:33
Speaker
If anything happens to me, it's not splitting up your group.
00:59:37
Speaker
Gonna be totally honest with you, Samantha, older Sam, whatever we're going to call you.
00:59:42
Speaker
Fuck that.
00:59:45
Speaker
I say let it go through.
00:59:48
Speaker
Damn it, Sam.
00:59:49
Speaker
We'll get you a horse, okay?
01:00:03
Speaker
Do I still have the fire stick?
01:00:05
Speaker
No.
01:00:06
Speaker
Damn it.
01:00:07
Speaker
Damn, he did leave something behind.
01:00:09
Speaker
Nope, that got left behind in the jump.
01:00:11
Speaker
Yep.
01:00:14
Speaker
Older Samantha just kind of smiles at you and puts her hand on the doorknob.
01:00:20
Speaker
Hold on.
01:00:21
Speaker
Side note.
01:00:22
Speaker
If Nick dropped the fucking fire stick in the barn, the barn's on fucking fire now.
01:00:31
Speaker
Not necessarily.
01:00:34
Speaker
I look over.
01:00:35
Speaker
Do I see smoke?
01:00:37
Speaker
I don't think you can see the barn from Ashley's house.
01:00:40
Speaker
Look at the map.
01:00:41
Speaker
We weren't that far.
01:00:42
Speaker
Okay.
01:00:43
Speaker
How about this?
01:00:45
Speaker
It came with you, but when you dropped it here, it went out because of the dew on the grass.
01:00:51
Speaker
Sure.
01:00:52
Speaker
Just don't set my barn on fire.
01:00:54
Speaker
That was a very confident retcon.
01:00:59
Speaker
Damn.
01:01:01
Speaker
So you have a stick, but no fire.
01:01:03
Speaker
Look, guys, before we go in, before we go in, both Sams, if anything else, that nobody creature is probably the most honest thing we've seen.
01:01:16
Speaker
I don't think he knows how to tell a lie, nor cares to lie to somebody.
01:01:21
Speaker
He said it was going to be dangerous here.
01:01:26
Speaker
I believe it.
01:01:26
Speaker
How do we know he wasn't just messing with us like everything else has in this realm?
01:01:33
Speaker
Because he didn't.
01:01:34
Speaker
Everything he did was with point.
01:01:37
Speaker
And because he doesn't have to.
01:01:39
Speaker
He can do what he wants.
01:01:40
Speaker
He doesn't have to lie.
01:01:45
Speaker
I guess.
01:01:46
Speaker
And Sam kind of takes a step back from the door.
01:01:50
Speaker
Ryan is going to walk up and try to pull older Sam away from the door.
01:01:54
Speaker
Oh, she is so pushing you back.
01:01:56
Speaker
I'm with Ryan.
01:02:01
Speaker
You guys are going to try and pull her away, huh?
01:02:04
Speaker
Oh yeah.
01:02:04
Speaker
We're going in first.
01:02:07
Speaker
Okay.
01:02:08
Speaker
Um, can I try and persuade her instead of it being a contest?
01:02:13
Speaker
Hey, you can try and persuade her.
01:02:15
Speaker
Sam, look, let us go in first.
01:02:23
Speaker
You even got a, you got a flashlight on you.
01:02:25
Speaker
You got anything to where you can look around or see?
01:02:28
Speaker
Yeah, I don't leave home without it.
01:02:31
Speaker
Get out of the way.
01:02:33
Speaker
I'll roll my disadvantage.
01:02:34
Speaker
Some persuasion, Ned.
01:02:37
Speaker
Get out of the way.
01:02:40
Speaker
I got a 65 on a 50.
01:02:41
Speaker
Yeah, she just kind of puts her hand on your chest and goes, like I said, if anything happens to me, at least I'm not splitting up your group.
01:02:54
Speaker
And she just lightly pushes you back.
01:02:57
Speaker
Ryan is going to grab the arm she used to push Ned back and just yank her off the porch.
01:03:04
Speaker
Okay.
01:03:06
Speaker
She is going to try to not get grabbed, so I'm going to have you roll... Do you want unarmed combat or dex or... You can roll your dex versus her dodge.
01:03:28
Speaker
Her dodge was a 35 out of 40.
01:03:32
Speaker
That was a 12 out of a 50.
01:03:34
Speaker
All right.
01:03:35
Speaker
So she's able to just kind of move out of the way.
01:03:40
Speaker
And as she does, she grins at you guys and she opens the door and nothing happens.
01:03:46
Speaker
See, I told you I would have been fine.
01:03:50
Speaker
And how many times have we opened something, nothing happened, and then two seconds later, someone's getting hurt?
01:03:56
Speaker
Yeah, pretty much.
01:03:57
Speaker
We, uh...
01:03:59
Speaker
He didn't say where we were going to get hurt in here.
01:04:02
Speaker
He just said that we were going to get hurt here.
01:04:05
Speaker
Ryan is going to walk up and just push older Sam to the side, not off the porch, and just take and slam the door closed and open a couple of times, and then just wait here as if he hears anything.
01:04:19
Speaker
She crosses her arms and looks at you like, is this really what we're doing?
01:04:23
Speaker
I don't think that was any smarter of an idea either.
01:04:27
Speaker
Again,
01:04:29
Speaker
Running outside in the open is much easier than trying to run away from something in a confined house.
01:04:35
Speaker
Depends on what you're running from.
01:04:36
Speaker
Shush, God.
01:04:39
Speaker
I would rather run from a fucking cheetah in my house than outside.
01:04:46
Speaker
I would not.
01:04:46
Speaker
My house is tiny.
01:04:48
Speaker
Yeah, but there's more twists and turns to lose it in.
01:04:53
Speaker
It gets fast when it's going straight.
01:04:57
Speaker
I'm sorry, a couple hundred pound cat making two turns?
01:05:00
Speaker
I don't think I'm outrunning it.
01:05:02
Speaker
Anyways, does anything show up?
01:05:05
Speaker
No, nothing happens.
01:05:06
Speaker
No cheetah?
01:05:07
Speaker
A bobcat!
01:05:11
Speaker
Nothing happens.
01:05:14
Speaker
And Samantha steps inside and closes the door behind her.
01:05:19
Speaker
No, Ryan immediately puts his foot in the way when she tries to close it.
01:05:24
Speaker
Sam, why do you have a death wish?
01:05:26
Speaker
Both of you.
01:05:27
Speaker
I don't know.
01:05:29
Speaker
Are we doing this again, Brick?
01:05:31
Speaker
Yes.
01:05:32
Speaker
Okay.
01:05:34
Speaker
There's a reason, and I know you know the reason.
01:05:41
Speaker
Okay.
01:05:43
Speaker
Roll your dex.
01:05:46
Speaker
Versus her unarmed combat this time.
01:05:48
Speaker
Because she's trying to slam the door faster than you can put your foot in there.
01:05:55
Speaker
Fuck.
01:05:59
Speaker
What was yours?
01:06:01
Speaker
A straight hundred.
01:06:02
Speaker
So she got a 72 on a 70.
01:06:10
Speaker
So she also failed, but since you crit failed, that makes her as a success because she failed less than you.
01:06:18
Speaker
Yep.
01:06:19
Speaker
Or I will let you decide this one.
01:06:24
Speaker
You can either take it as a you failed and she succeeded and is able to close the door behind her, or you are able to get your foot in there, but you're going to take a D4 of damage.
01:06:36
Speaker
Move your fucking foot.
01:06:38
Speaker
Yeah.
01:06:41
Speaker
Nah, she can get the door closed.
01:06:43
Speaker
Okay.
01:06:45
Speaker
She gets the door closed.
01:06:47
Speaker
And you guys wait and wait.
01:06:52
Speaker
Maybe a minute.
01:06:54
Speaker
And the door opens again.
01:06:56
Speaker
And she goes, nothing happened here.
01:07:00
Speaker
So I guess we're good to go in.
01:07:04
Speaker
Arthur screws in.
01:07:06
Speaker
Ryan is going to look at young Sam as we go in and be like, you're not allowed to get this stubborn.
01:07:14
Speaker
I already am.
01:07:15
Speaker
Yeah, this is nothing new for you.
01:07:20
Speaker
I turn on my flashlight.
01:07:21
Speaker
Okay.
01:07:24
Speaker
Sam will grab hers and do the same.
01:07:26
Speaker
And then she'll walk inside.
01:07:28
Speaker
Okay.
01:07:30
Speaker
I also turn my flashlight on.
01:07:33
Speaker
Ryan will light a candle and go in.
01:07:36
Speaker
No.
01:07:37
Speaker
You hear candles.
01:07:39
Speaker
Hey, that stick is still probably warm.
01:07:41
Speaker
Yeah, but I don't know how long that's going to last.
01:07:43
Speaker
What, a minute or two before I burn my hand?
01:07:46
Speaker
Candle.
01:07:47
Speaker
And besides, if nobody wants to pop in, I don't want to hurt him.
01:07:51
Speaker
Fuck nobody.
01:07:54
Speaker
Hey, you all had a problem with him.
01:07:56
Speaker
I thought he was pretty okay.
01:07:58
Speaker
He just wanted to play games.
01:08:00
Speaker
Like, there's nothing wrong with that.
01:08:02
Speaker
You guys all get a text in your group chat.
01:08:06
Speaker
And it's nobody's number, just sending a thumbs up emoji.
01:08:10
Speaker
Stop listening to us, you creep.
01:08:12
Speaker
That's some horse shit.
01:08:13
Speaker
I'm the one who liked him first.
01:08:16
Speaker
No, you wanted to use him as the taxi service.
01:08:19
Speaker
Like, don't try to spin that.
01:08:21
Speaker
You're the one who pulled me away and covered my mouth, sweetheart.
01:08:24
Speaker
Calm down.
01:08:25
Speaker
You ain't twisting this your way neither.
01:08:26
Speaker
Because you got in the face of a child.
01:08:29
Speaker
Has that ever worked before?
01:08:30
Speaker
Boys.
01:08:31
Speaker
I'm going to push past Ryan and go in the house and start looking around with the flashlight.
01:08:37
Speaker
And that's a sign that I won the argument.
01:08:39
Speaker
And now I'm going to follow.
01:08:41
Speaker
No, it's a sign I don't like to play stupid games to win stupid prizes.
01:08:47
Speaker
You're just jealous I have a new friend.
01:08:48
Speaker
Ned scurries away from that one.
01:08:55
Speaker
He did like the tall Smeagol.
01:08:59
Speaker
Hell no.
01:09:01
Speaker
Ryan is just going to make a beeline for Ashley's room.
01:09:04
Speaker
Keep it in your out to hear if he hears anything.
01:09:09
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:11
Speaker
So you guys, Ryan, you go up to Ashley's room.
01:09:15
Speaker
Is anyone else going with Ryan?
01:09:16
Speaker
Yeah, go.
01:09:18
Speaker
That's where I was heading to.
01:09:20
Speaker
Sam is going to Chris's room.
01:09:23
Speaker
Sam is going to Chris's room, so we're going to have a party split here.
01:09:29
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:30
Speaker
Are both Sam's going to Chris's room?
01:09:33
Speaker
Yeah.
01:09:34
Speaker
Yeah.
01:09:34
Speaker
You know what?
01:09:35
Speaker
Both Sam's can go to Chris's room.
01:09:37
Speaker
So here's what I'm going to say.
01:09:39
Speaker
I am going to resolve Brian and Ned and Arthur first in Ashley's room.
01:09:47
Speaker
All right.
01:09:48
Speaker
So go ahead and take off your headset.
01:09:49
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:57
Speaker
You guys are heading to Ashley's room and you see both Samantha's just kind of look at each other and stop at Chris's room.
01:10:10
Speaker
And you guys keep going.
01:10:13
Speaker
And as you, Ryan, you were kind of leading the group here.
01:10:19
Speaker
You reach down and she's got one of those handles.
01:10:22
Speaker
It's not like a knob.
01:10:23
Speaker
It's like an actual handle.
01:10:26
Speaker
So as you push down on the handle, you hear the latch open and the door glides in nice and smooth.
01:10:37
Speaker
Nothing, no squeaking, no nothing.
01:10:40
Speaker
And at a quick glance, you guys don't notice anything like out of the ordinary.
01:10:49
Speaker
Ashley's house is also, you know, one of them that one of the places that doesn't look decrepit and it looks basically the same way you guys remember it.
01:11:03
Speaker
It's, it's got her bed.
01:11:04
Speaker
It's got her desk.
01:11:07
Speaker
You, I will say on her bed, you see what Samantha saw in the real world.
01:11:17
Speaker
You see the list.
01:11:19
Speaker
And this is the updated list of the ingredients that she needed to do this ritual.
01:11:26
Speaker
So I will let you guys ask questions or do what you have to do here.
01:11:31
Speaker
I'm going to grab the list.
01:11:33
Speaker
Okay.
01:11:33
Speaker
Compare it to her old list.
01:11:38
Speaker
So the old list is the one that you guys found when she had first started researching.
01:11:46
Speaker
That's the word I'm looking for.
01:11:47
Speaker
When she first started researching how to contact the dead.
01:11:51
Speaker
This list that you find on her bed matches the one that you guys found at the tree house that she actually used for the ritual.
01:11:59
Speaker
Let's see.
01:12:03
Speaker
Is the light on in the bedroom?
01:12:06
Speaker
No.
01:12:08
Speaker
I'm going to try hitting the light switch and see if it turns the light on.
01:12:12
Speaker
Yep.
01:12:12
Speaker
The light turns on.
01:12:13
Speaker
The overhead light turns on.
01:12:16
Speaker
Ryan is going to start digging under Ashley's bed for her stash of alcohol she has under there that he would know about.
01:12:24
Speaker
Yeah, God, he would know about this.
01:12:27
Speaker
I'm just trying to decide if Ashley would actually have that or not.
01:12:31
Speaker
I mean, she's the one that was throwing parties, so I just made an assumption.
01:12:34
Speaker
Yeah.
01:12:37
Speaker
That is a good point.
01:12:37
Speaker
Yeah.
01:12:38
Speaker
Okay.
01:12:38
Speaker
All right.
01:12:40
Speaker
Yeah.
01:12:41
Speaker
Go ahead.
01:12:41
Speaker
Reach under there.
01:12:43
Speaker
See what happens.
01:12:45
Speaker
I was just about to say the way you said reach under there makes me want to nod, but I've already committed.
01:12:52
Speaker
So you put your hand under there.
01:12:53
Speaker
You're reaching for a bottle, trying to find something and your hand bumps up against a bottle.
01:13:05
Speaker
Ryan is going to grab it and pull it out.
01:13:09
Speaker
It's the only bottle you were able to find.
01:13:12
Speaker
And you pull it out, expecting it to be her favorite rum.
01:13:17
Speaker
And instead, in the bottle, you see a red liquid.
01:13:24
Speaker
Ryan just stares at it for a second and then just kind of glances over to see if there's a label or anything.
01:13:33
Speaker
It still has the label of the alcohol that used to be in it.
01:13:37
Speaker
Does this look like the seal on the top is broken?
01:13:42
Speaker
Yes.
01:13:44
Speaker
Ryan is going to pop it open and take a small sniff.
01:13:49
Speaker
Okay.
01:13:51
Speaker
Does what does he smell?
01:13:55
Speaker
It's weird.
01:13:57
Speaker
It smells sweet.
01:14:00
Speaker
Is it full enough for Ryan to like dip the tip of his finger into?
01:14:05
Speaker
No, it's about half full.
01:14:08
Speaker
Ryan just kind of stares at it before closing it and just kind of keeps staring at it and goes, Hey guys, you have any idea what this red liquid might be in this bottle?
01:14:19
Speaker
Because I'd rather take guesses before trying to drink any.
01:14:24
Speaker
Because it's definitely not rum.
01:14:26
Speaker
Can I roll for it?
01:14:29
Speaker
Yeah, go ahead.
01:14:30
Speaker
What should I roll?
01:14:31
Speaker
Roll!
01:14:34
Speaker
Would this be like some sort of ritual thing, like an occult thing?
01:14:38
Speaker
You can roll a cult to see if it is.
01:14:40
Speaker
Otherwise, you can just roll a general intelligence check.
01:14:44
Speaker
Intelligence.
01:14:48
Speaker
I'll do intelligence.
01:14:49
Speaker
33 out of 70 intelligence.
01:14:51
Speaker
Ooh!
01:14:51
Speaker
13 out of 60 intelligence.
01:14:52
Speaker
13 out of 60 intelligence.
01:14:59
Speaker
Okay.
01:15:00
Speaker
So Arthur, you take the bottle and open it and you also give it a sniff and that sweet smell, you can almost place it.
01:15:13
Speaker
Not quite yet.
01:15:14
Speaker
The smell is very familiar.
01:15:17
Speaker
And Ned, as you look at it and that scent hits your nose, you know exactly what it is.
01:15:25
Speaker
She was trying to make her own wine.
01:15:31
Speaker
Oh, God.
01:15:34
Speaker
Man, I really thought that was going to be blood in there for a minute.
01:15:38
Speaker
What?
01:15:39
Speaker
No, it's not thick enough to be blood.
01:15:42
Speaker
I mean, I totally didn't think that when I saw it.
01:15:44
Speaker
No.
01:15:47
Speaker
I just smirk at him.
01:15:50
Speaker
All right.
01:15:51
Speaker
Shut up.
01:15:51
Speaker
You attacked a door.
01:15:55
Speaker
He's right.
01:15:56
Speaker
You pretended like you took my friend.
01:15:58
Speaker
And I push the bottle back into his chest and smile at him.
01:16:01
Speaker
I'm going to go and is her computer in the bedroom?
01:16:06
Speaker
It is.
01:16:07
Speaker
Yes.
01:16:08
Speaker
It's a desktop.
01:16:09
Speaker
I'm going to go try and power on the computer.
01:16:11
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:13
Speaker
It powers on.
01:16:15
Speaker
No lock screen or nothing.
01:16:16
Speaker
I can just get in.
01:16:18
Speaker
I mean, it has a lock screen.
01:16:19
Speaker
Yeah.
01:16:20
Speaker
I hit space bar to unlock.
01:16:23
Speaker
Pops up with the password.
01:16:28
Speaker
Ryan, Arthur, either of you know what this might be.
01:16:36
Speaker
Can I roll computer science?
01:16:40
Speaker
Yeah, you can roll computer science.
01:16:45
Speaker
Damn it.
01:16:46
Speaker
Can I?
01:16:48
Speaker
I rolled a 60 out of 43.
01:16:54
Speaker
Yep, you don't know what the password could be?
01:16:58
Speaker
Try Puma.
01:17:00
Speaker
It ain't Puma.
01:17:01
Speaker
She don't like those shoes.
01:17:03
Speaker
Jordan, I rolled a 31 out of 40 on a computer science.
01:17:07
Speaker
Do I get to pick a password?
01:17:09
Speaker
I'm trying to think here.
01:17:12
Speaker
No, I got it.
01:17:13
Speaker
I got it.
01:17:14
Speaker
Oh, no, I know what her password is.
01:17:17
Speaker
Oh, no, I have a way around it.
01:17:19
Speaker
Oh, okay.
01:17:21
Speaker
Ned is going to scroll down to the bottom right, and I'm going to shut it down, and I'm going to restart the computer and boot it up into safe mode to bypass the lock screen.
01:17:33
Speaker
Okay.
01:17:34
Speaker
Yeah, with the 31 computer science, I'd say you know how to do that.
01:17:39
Speaker
So I do that.
01:17:40
Speaker
I smash the delete key to get into the BIOS and I boot it up that way.
01:17:45
Speaker
All right, I can't like get online or anything like that right here, but we can at least look through the computer and see what, I don't know what files she may have downloaded, what she's got saved or typed up.
01:17:58
Speaker
So I'm just going to go through like her desktop recent documents
01:18:06
Speaker
As he does this, Ryan is going to start searching the rest of the room.
01:18:10
Speaker
Okay.
01:18:13
Speaker
So what exactly are you looking for, Ned?
01:18:18
Speaker
Anything she may have taken a screenshot of or capture of, like how she got ready for the ritual or anything pertaining to how it ended up getting us here.
01:18:31
Speaker
Okay.
01:18:32
Speaker
I will say this.
01:18:33
Speaker
The first thing you notice when you boot up the computer is her background is the picture that you took at the party.
01:18:42
Speaker
I won't go back to that.
01:18:44
Speaker
That's the background that she has set on her computer.
01:18:47
Speaker
For what you're looking for, roll me a search.
01:18:53
Speaker
Search.
01:18:59
Speaker
That's the same as my computer science.
01:19:03
Speaker
16 out of 40.
01:19:03
Speaker
Okay.
01:19:06
Speaker
So you're thinking to yourself, God, how can I find any of this stuff?
01:19:15
Speaker
And you are able to go to the search bar and type in recents.
01:19:24
Speaker
Recent.
01:19:24
Speaker
Recent.
01:19:26
Speaker
And able to see what was used the most recently.
01:19:30
Speaker
Obviously, you have your internet was used.
01:19:34
Speaker
All that fun stuff.
01:19:37
Speaker
But then a Word document pops up.
01:19:46
Speaker
And you click on the Word document.
01:19:49
Speaker
And it's basically like she was keeping an electronic diary.
01:19:53
Speaker
And a lot of it's all the same stuff that you would assume.
01:19:56
Speaker
You know, after Chris died, she talked about how depressed she was and how she couldn't really think about living in this world without him.
01:20:07
Speaker
Her brother was her rock.
01:20:08
Speaker
Her brother was her best friend.
01:20:11
Speaker
All that kind of stuff.
01:20:14
Speaker
And there are a...
01:20:16
Speaker
A couple entries that talk about things that, for you being in love with this woman, are kind of hard for you to read.
01:20:26
Speaker
I think once Ned starts seeing anything that would go in that kind of direction, he would close it and not read it.
01:20:38
Speaker
Okay.
01:20:40
Speaker
Once I get to that point, I'll just close everything out and hit the shutdown.
01:20:44
Speaker
All right.
01:20:44
Speaker
I couldn't find anything on there, man.
01:20:45
Speaker
Just some diary entries and stuff.
01:20:47
Speaker
There's nothing useful on the computer that I could see.
01:20:51
Speaker
Damn.
01:20:52
Speaker
Arthur's going to look around the room and see if there's anything else.
01:20:55
Speaker
Like, maybe that looks a little out of the ordinary for her room.
01:21:01
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:02
Speaker
You and Ryan are both doing the same, so I'll have you both roll me a search check.
01:21:07
Speaker
Uh, Ryan is gonna take it a step further rather than just looking at he's gonna start, like, fully tossing the room.
01:21:13
Speaker
48 out of 22.
01:21:15
Speaker
I don't see shit.
01:21:18
Speaker
That sounds about like Arthur.
01:21:19
Speaker
Uh, 25 on a 42.
01:21:21
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:23
Speaker
I was gonna say I was gonna let you roll that advantage, but you don't need to.
01:21:26
Speaker
Yeah.
01:21:30
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:31
Speaker
So you're tossing the room and...
01:21:36
Speaker
What exactly are you looking for?
01:21:40
Speaker
Having known Ashley a while, he knows her pretty well, probably not as well as Sam, but he'd know if anything was out of place in a room.
01:21:48
Speaker
He'd been in there enough to notice if anything was odd or not supposed to be there.
01:21:54
Speaker
Okay, so you're just looking for generally out of place.
01:21:56
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:57
Speaker
Yeah, and anything that might be useful and to not die in the next 12 hours.
01:22:02
Speaker
I'm trying to think of what you can find.
01:22:06
Speaker
So you're tossing the room.
01:22:10
Speaker
Oh, go ahead.
01:22:11
Speaker
Oh, I was just going to say instructions to get out.
01:22:15
Speaker
Possibly.
01:22:17
Speaker
Possibly.
01:22:18
Speaker
I know what you can find.
01:22:19
Speaker
You are looking through the room.
01:22:27
Speaker
And you're not really finding anything.
01:22:31
Speaker
You're tossing, you're flipping the mattress.
01:22:34
Speaker
At this point, you are just desperate to find anything.
01:22:39
Speaker
And... I mean, you've been going through her drawers, you've been going through her closet, you've been everywhere.
01:22:48
Speaker
There is a pair of jeans that is laying on the ground that you have...
01:22:57
Speaker
Moved around a couple times at this point.
01:22:59
Speaker
Like, you've been checking pockets, you've been doing everything.
01:23:01
Speaker
And you notice something that you didn't notice before, which you find kind of hard to believe with how many times you've moved that specific pair of pants.
01:23:12
Speaker
There's a piece of paper that's folded up in the back pocket.
01:23:15
Speaker
Ryan is going to grab and open the piece of paper.
01:23:18
Speaker
Okay.
01:23:21
Speaker
Grab and you open the piece of paper.
01:23:23
Speaker
And...
01:23:25
Speaker
you see on the piece of paper in handwriting that you don't recognize five words.
Discoveries in Chris's Room
01:23:33
Speaker
You see the words, hang on, I'm pulling it up.
01:23:40
Speaker
Horn, finger, eye, tooth, and heart.
01:23:46
Speaker
And as you are looking at the piece of paper,
01:23:53
Speaker
In front of your eyes, you see a red line scratch through the word tooth.
01:24:02
Speaker
Only he sees that?
01:24:04
Speaker
I mean, you guys can all see it if you're looking at him.
01:24:07
Speaker
I am not.
01:24:09
Speaker
I rolled a bad shirt, so I don't think I am.
01:24:13
Speaker
Uh, as Ryan watches this, he slowly pulls out the tooth that he's holding.
01:24:19
Speaker
He looks up at Ned and Arthur and goes, I think I know what we need to do now.
01:24:27
Speaker
And I really hate that I'm going to say it, but I think we need to piss off Negachris and find all the rest of the things that belong to him.
01:24:37
Speaker
And he shows them the piece of paper and says, the tooth just scratched itself out in front of my eyes.
01:24:45
Speaker
I don't like that, man.
01:24:46
Speaker
Not one bit.
01:24:49
Speaker
I don't either, because just finding this tooth and not knowing what it was pissed off Nugget Chris enough to pretty much do anything he wanted to try to kill us.
01:24:59
Speaker
I'm assuming going after the rest of these, not going to go any better.
01:25:04
Speaker
How are we supposed to defend ourselves if he gets worse?
01:25:07
Speaker
Well, if we can figure out what he is.
01:25:09
Speaker
I'm close.
01:25:13
Speaker
I'm sure we'll figure out the rest of it here soon.
01:25:15
Speaker
There's only a couple more options, right?
01:25:17
Speaker
Absolutely.
01:25:19
Speaker
I think I had him down to four.
01:25:22
Speaker
Yes, you had it down to four.
01:25:24
Speaker
We'll figure him out soon.
01:25:27
Speaker
I hope so.
01:25:29
Speaker
I'd like to research it more, but probably in a safer area.
01:25:33
Speaker
We don't really know if this is that safe.
01:25:36
Speaker
Yeah, we should probably check on the girls.
01:25:38
Speaker
I think we have just about everything we need here.
01:25:41
Speaker
Yeah, I think so.
01:25:43
Speaker
All right, let's go get them.
01:25:47
Speaker
And with that, you guys can take your headsets off and I'll get Melanie back in here.
01:26:01
Speaker
You are walking up with the whole group and you and older Samantha just kind of glance at each other and both stop at Chris's room as everyone else goes to Ashley's room.
01:26:21
Speaker
The door is closed.
01:26:25
Speaker
Chris has, same as Ashley,
01:26:29
Speaker
Not a doorknob, but like a door handle.
01:26:32
Speaker
So Samantha looks at you and she's like, do you want me to do the honors here too?
01:26:46
Speaker
Um, no, I'll do it.
01:26:48
Speaker
And she kind of like brushes Sam's hand away and puts it on the door handle.
01:26:55
Speaker
By all means.
01:26:57
Speaker
She takes a deep breath and then
01:26:58
Speaker
pushes it down and pushes the door open okay you open the door and same thing I told the boys the house is not decrepit it's a normal house it's normal okay how many times have you been into Chris's room we're not gonna talk about that
01:27:30
Speaker
Well, I mean, you guys didn't know you had a flame with each other, so... We're not gonna talk about that.
01:27:37
Speaker
Okay.
01:27:39
Speaker
Sam has snuck into Chris's room multiple times.
01:27:44
Speaker
She may or may not have stolen a t-shirt or two.
01:27:51
Speaker
I can see that.
01:27:54
Speaker
So you are very intimate with this room?
01:27:56
Speaker
Yes.
01:27:58
Speaker
And...
01:28:01
Speaker
You and older Samantha kind of both have that look of recognition, that look of longing, of just wishing for a simpler time.
01:28:14
Speaker
And as you step in, you start looking around and nothing really seems out of place.
01:28:20
Speaker
What is it that you're looking for?
01:28:24
Speaker
Any signs that Chris has been here for?
01:28:29
Speaker
Or if he is here.
01:28:32
Speaker
Okay.
01:28:34
Speaker
The room is empty.
01:28:38
Speaker
And I'm guessing you've snuck into his room since he was deployed?
01:28:43
Speaker
The room looks exactly the same as you remember it being after he was deployed.
01:28:47
Speaker
Okay.
01:28:52
Speaker
So there's no sign of anybody have been living there at all?
01:28:58
Speaker
Nope.
01:29:01
Speaker
You just see the normal You know he was really excited to go into the military So you see like the military posters Um You see His computer in the corner He's got his TV with his Xbox With the latest version of Call of Duty there Like he was He was big into the whole military scene Before he left Well I don't really know what to do
01:29:29
Speaker
Because if there's no signs of anybody living there, she wouldn't keep snooping, I guess.
01:29:37
Speaker
No?
01:29:41
Speaker
I don't know.
01:29:42
Speaker
I mean, if she's stolen like t-shirts and stuff, I figured she'd want to take a t-shirt of his or something.
01:29:47
Speaker
I mean, she would probably do that.
01:29:53
Speaker
So she will go over to his dresser and start
01:29:59
Speaker
rummaging through it to find a t-shirt to take with her.
01:30:03
Speaker
Okay.
01:30:06
Speaker
Older Sam is kind of looking over your shoulder as you do it.
01:30:10
Speaker
And she looks at the t-shirt that you pick and she's like, yeah, it's a good choice.
01:30:15
Speaker
That's a good one.
01:30:17
Speaker
I don't like the fact that you know his clothes like I do.
01:30:23
Speaker
I know you're me, but I don't like that you're me and it's freaking me out.
01:30:29
Speaker
I think it's just something we have to come to terms with.
01:30:34
Speaker
Not gonna lie, there's part of me that still doesn't trust you.
01:30:38
Speaker
That's understandable.
01:30:41
Speaker
I don't know what to do to make you trust me.
01:30:44
Speaker
What, uh... What can I say?
01:30:46
Speaker
What can I do?
01:30:48
Speaker
Um... Something only I would know.
01:30:52
Speaker
I don't know.
01:30:53
Speaker
I really don't.
01:30:55
Speaker
But... I got it.
01:30:56
Speaker
I got it.
01:30:58
Speaker
The day...
01:30:59
Speaker
that we found Ashley in the tree house.
01:31:03
Speaker
I was riding Anubis and I was an idiot.
01:31:11
Speaker
I forgot to check the radar and it started pouring on us.
01:31:20
Speaker
And of course, you know, we're stuck out in the middle of this ride with the rain pouring down.
01:31:26
Speaker
And my phone goes off and it's our friends telling us that they can't find Ashley.
01:31:34
Speaker
So in the pouring rain, Anubis and I hauled ass over to her house to try to find her.
01:31:41
Speaker
And we went through her house and found her ritual list on the bed.
01:31:47
Speaker
That is something that only I was there for.
01:31:51
Speaker
I thought Arthur found the list.
01:31:54
Speaker
No.
01:31:55
Speaker
Arthur found the list in the treehouse.
01:32:01
Speaker
This was like, this was in the real world.
01:32:03
Speaker
This was like episode two, where you guys ended up going to the mall afterward.
01:32:07
Speaker
Okay, yeah.
01:32:11
Speaker
Yeah, I'm referring to that episode.
01:32:14
Speaker
I guess.
01:32:14
Speaker
I just... Something about you makes me very uneasy.
01:32:22
Speaker
It's weird seeing yourself.
01:32:24
Speaker
I get that.
01:32:26
Speaker
Sam just nods and slides the t-shirt into her backpack.
Commotion and Clues in Ashley's Room
01:32:31
Speaker
At that point, because Chris and Ashley's room are right next to each other, you hear a giant commotion coming from Ashley's room.
01:32:46
Speaker
I guess she will go and investigate.
01:32:50
Speaker
Samantha kind of looks at you as well and just nods.
01:32:55
Speaker
I was like, all right, let's, uh, let's go check that out, I guess.
01:33:00
Speaker
Yeah.
01:33:02
Speaker
She reaches out and squeezes your shoulder and she goes, look, I know as you guys are walking to Ash's room, she's like, look, I know it's weird, but we just have to trust each other.
01:33:17
Speaker
I'll try, but I make no promises.
01:33:21
Speaker
As that thing said, if I wanted to hurt you guys, I would have done it already.
01:33:28
Speaker
That doesn't mean anything here.
01:33:32
Speaker
That's fair.
01:33:33
Speaker
Alright, you get to Ashley's room.
01:33:41
Speaker
And the place looks like a bomb went off.
01:33:46
Speaker
The bed is flipped, the drawers are dumped.
01:33:48
Speaker
It looks...
01:33:52
Speaker
Not anything like Chris's room.
01:33:55
Speaker
And as you step in, you see all three boys are standing in the middle looking down at a piece of paper.
01:34:04
Speaker
They destroy your bedroom.
01:34:07
Speaker
As I, you know, gently walked through Chris's bedroom.
01:34:11
Speaker
What assholes.
01:34:13
Speaker
So let me get them back in here so we can finish this one.
01:34:24
Speaker
Samantha and older Samantha walk into the room and see the room just completely tossed.
01:34:31
Speaker
And all three of the boys are standing in the middle of the room.
01:34:38
Speaker
Ryan is holding a piece of paper and the tooth.
01:34:42
Speaker
And the other two are looking over his shoulder at this piece of paper.
01:34:47
Speaker
What did you three do to her room?
01:34:53
Speaker
I mean,
01:34:54
Speaker
I didn't do anything.
01:34:56
Speaker
I did it.
01:34:57
Speaker
And we're not in her room.
01:34:59
Speaker
We're in a version of her room.
01:35:01
Speaker
So like, suck it.
01:35:04
Speaker
You could have at least, you know, been nice about it.
01:35:09
Speaker
I mean, if this was actually her room, I wouldn't have done this in the first place, but you know, and he points out the window towards the red sky.
01:35:17
Speaker
Fair, I guess.
01:35:21
Speaker
What do you have in your hand?
01:35:24
Speaker
Oh, I found a piece of paper that's not in Ashley's handwriting that has something written on it.
01:35:33
Speaker
Can you not read it?
01:35:36
Speaker
No, I just had to bring up my notes.
01:35:40
Speaker
It says, I finger horn tooth heart.
01:35:45
Speaker
And as I stared at it, it scratched out tooth with a red line.
01:35:53
Speaker
So is it like a reverse list of what we had to get in the real world?
01:35:59
Speaker
I'm not sure, but considering that Negagris called this tooth his, I have a feeling it's connected to that somehow.
01:36:09
Speaker
Hold on.
01:36:12
Speaker
Do you think we have to get those parts off of him?
01:36:20
Speaker
I don't think it's off of him.
01:36:21
Speaker
I found this tooth in the theater in the movie theater.
01:36:27
Speaker
Yeah, but he has both his eyes.
01:36:30
Speaker
Does he?
01:36:31
Speaker
Yeah, I thought so.
01:36:34
Speaker
You guys never did an investigation on that.
01:36:38
Speaker
We would notice if he had eyes or not.
01:36:40
Speaker
Yeah.
01:36:42
Speaker
That's not going to fly.
01:36:44
Speaker
We'd notice if he was missing an eye.
01:36:46
Speaker
Wasn't the first description of Chris in the treehouse of him being like all fucked up?
01:36:52
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
01:36:56
Speaker
What did the list say?
01:36:57
Speaker
Tooth, finger, eye?
01:37:00
Speaker
It said eye, finger, horn, tooth, heart.
01:37:05
Speaker
If I remember correctly, after he snapped Ashley's neck and her body fell backwards, you guys saw how fucked up he looked.
01:37:17
Speaker
And you saw exactly how he died.
01:37:21
Speaker
You saw the claw marks all over his chest.
01:37:24
Speaker
You saw all the damage that was done to him, including the right half of his face gone.
01:37:40
Speaker
So I have a feeling the rest of these parts are going to be spread around wherever here is.
01:37:48
Speaker
Fantastic.
01:37:52
Speaker
And considering we found one of them in a place that we all went to a lot that wasn't, like, decrepit like everything else, I'm assuming if we go to enough of these locations, we'll find at least some of these parts.
01:38:07
Speaker
You see that older Sam has a very quizzical look on her face, like she's really thinking about something.
01:38:14
Speaker
Penny for your thoughts, older Sam?
01:38:25
Speaker
What do you mean?
01:38:28
Speaker
That seems way too easy.
01:38:29
Speaker
What do you mean?
01:38:31
Speaker
I have a horn at the barn that, or at my house, house, barn, same thing, that I didn't have in the real world that's hanging up on a wall.
01:38:48
Speaker
It was here when I got here, and I never tried to fuck with it.
01:38:57
Speaker
You're telling me this entire time we didn't have to come here?
01:39:01
Speaker
I mean, to be fair, we wouldn't have known about the list if we didn't, right?
01:39:05
Speaker
Yeah, but nobody said this place was dangerous.
01:39:07
Speaker
There hasn't been any danger anywhere.
01:39:09
Speaker
Chris's room was basically empty.
01:39:13
Speaker
You had to say that, didn't you, Sam?
01:39:16
Speaker
You checked one room, we checked another.
01:39:18
Speaker
It's a whole damn house, a whole damn backyard.
01:39:21
Speaker
Come on, I know you want to go home, but you are not that narrow-minded.
01:39:27
Speaker
We need to go check the deck.
01:39:29
Speaker
Why do we need to check the deck?
01:39:31
Speaker
Because that's where we always hung out here.
01:39:33
Speaker
We didn't always all hang out up here.
01:39:35
Speaker
We didn't all hang out in Chris's room.
01:39:37
Speaker
We're not even checking the place where we actually spend our time.
01:39:39
Speaker
I mean, yeah, he's not wrong.
01:39:44
Speaker
I'm inclined to trust nobody.
01:39:46
Speaker
As much as I don't want to, I don't see a reason to distrust him.
01:39:54
Speaker
If he said there's danger here, there probably is.
01:39:56
Speaker
If we can walk into it expecting it, that's a better situation.
Searching the Backyard Deck
01:40:01
Speaker
Yeah, but you would think that the danger would have found us somewhere down the hallway.
01:40:08
Speaker
If we're not finding it in the hallway, how are we supposed to expect it?
01:40:13
Speaker
Well, I mean, like, how long did it take that inside-out man to attack us in the theater?
01:40:21
Speaker
And that was just because you lit a candle and you saw it.
01:40:24
Speaker
Arthur, do you have me say?
01:40:25
Speaker
Ned's gonna grab the wine and start moving towards the back deck.
01:40:29
Speaker
The wine?
01:40:30
Speaker
I think... Yeah, we got wine.
01:40:35
Speaker
In Ashley's room?
01:40:36
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
01:40:39
Speaker
Excuse me, Ryan would not let that go.
01:40:44
Speaker
You handed it off so that way they could examine it.
01:40:48
Speaker
Fuck, I did do that.
01:40:50
Speaker
Anyways, Arthur, what were you going to say?
01:40:51
Speaker
I was going to say, I think the deck might be our best bet.
01:40:58
Speaker
Okay.
01:40:58
Speaker
Let's go to the backyard then.
01:41:02
Speaker
Okay.
01:41:04
Speaker
So we made the decision to go to the backyard.
01:41:06
Speaker
Perfect.
01:41:09
Speaker
As you guys are walking through the house...
01:41:14
Speaker
You notice, again, like I said, the house isn't decrepit in any way.
01:41:17
Speaker
It's the normal house that you guys all knew.
01:41:21
Speaker
It is a post-Chris being deployed house.
01:41:25
Speaker
So you see, like, pinned up on the refrigerator, you see letters.
01:41:31
Speaker
You see pictures of him in uniform.
01:41:36
Speaker
All that fun stuff.
01:41:40
Speaker
And...
01:41:43
Speaker
you guys get out onto the deck and you start looking around.
01:41:52
Speaker
And at first you don't notice anything.
01:41:56
Speaker
Just this is where you guys all used to hang out.
01:42:01
Speaker
And as you guys are kind of looking around on the deck, like I said, you don't see anything, at least anything that would match this list, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
01:42:14
Speaker
Nothing, but nothing.
01:42:16
Speaker
Okay.
01:42:18
Speaker
So we're just standing on the deck, looking at the bright red sky, going, this is fantastic.
01:42:23
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
01:42:24
Speaker
Okay.
01:42:28
Speaker
It's basically kind of like a party deck.
01:42:32
Speaker
It's a bigger back deck.
01:42:34
Speaker
It's got...
01:42:36
Speaker
table chairs.
01:42:37
Speaker
It's got, you know, around the railing, it's got places for like tiki torches and the tiki torches are there.
01:42:44
Speaker
Yeah, it's just a deck.
01:42:45
Speaker
This is where you guys used to hang out.
01:42:48
Speaker
I want to reach over and touch Arthur's arm where the forget me not is at.
01:42:52
Speaker
Okay.
01:42:53
Speaker
Arthur, does she feel it?
01:42:54
Speaker
Yeah.
01:42:55
Speaker
Okay.
01:42:59
Speaker
Carrots and hummus.
01:43:00
Speaker
Jeez.
01:43:03
Speaker
You know, the code doesn't work if you say both sides of the code.
01:43:09
Speaker
Shit.
01:43:11
Speaker
That is true, God.
01:43:16
Speaker
You see older Samantha kind of chuckle and just go, carrots and hummus.
01:43:24
Speaker
I'm going to kind of start turning everything over.
01:43:26
Speaker
I'm going to start looking on top of underneath the chairs, the table, everything out there.
01:43:32
Speaker
Okay.
01:43:33
Speaker
What were you saying, Brick?
01:43:35
Speaker
I was about to say the same thing as him.
01:43:39
Speaker
Okay.
01:43:40
Speaker
So you guys go to work trying to move stuff to see if you can find anything.
01:43:50
Speaker
I mean, you're not really seeing anything.
01:43:53
Speaker
You guys can roll search if you'd like.
01:43:57
Speaker
Sure.
01:43:58
Speaker
Maybe I'll pass a roll tonight.
01:44:04
Speaker
58 on a 40.
01:44:04
Speaker
54 on a 42.
01:44:07
Speaker
39 on a 22.
01:44:07
Speaker
We don't see shit.
01:44:11
Speaker
So you guys are moving stuff, not seeing anything.
01:44:22
Speaker
And Ned.
01:44:25
Speaker
Yes.
01:44:30
Speaker
You're just kind of fed up at this point of not being able to find anything.
01:44:33
Speaker
And you just lean against the railing.
01:44:41
Speaker
And as you do that, one of the tiki torches that you're next to makes a very, very, very faint, like a snick, like a sound.
01:44:52
Speaker
What the fuck?
01:44:57
Speaker
Hey, any of y'all hear that?
01:44:59
Speaker
And as you say that, the entire deck falls away from underneath you guys as you enter a free fall.
01:45:11
Speaker
And that's where we're going to end the session.
01:45:14
Speaker
What?
01:45:15
Speaker
No way.
01:45:16
Speaker
Face jumping.
01:45:19
Speaker
For fuck's sake.
01:45:20
Speaker
For fuck's sake.
01:45:24
Speaker
Where's the fuck's sake guy when you need him?
01:45:27
Speaker
That makes me so happy.
01:45:31
