Starting point is 00:00:00 Okay, hello everyone. Welcome to, um, Visigoths vs. Morgoths, episode two, about two Earth Years Later. Here we are. I'm so excited to play this game again. Before we get into all of my lovely friends and this lovely game, I just want to say thank you for watching. If you want to support us, see us on Twitter, Instagram, Patreon. We have all kinds of weird things going on over there. We also, of course, have a Discord that is even weirder than the three things I just mentioned. Um, I think that's, yeah, I don't have any announcements, but does anyone else have any announcements? Yeah, I just want to say that I am wearing some sweet Street Wolves shwag that was sent to us by our friends at TableCat Games. We
Starting point is 00:00:49 all received a little bit of something. I want to remind everyone that Street Wolves is out. It came out February 6th. We're not currently going to be showing this on February 6th, but it's out. So go catch it. It's a really fun game. We'll eventually be running it. I suggest you get it. Alright, wonderful. Um, okay, cool. So, oh, I want to talk about Visigoths vs. Morgoths as a game first for anyone that has never seen this game be played or has never even heard of this game. It's relatively new. It's created and distributed by wonderful, queer, talented TTRPG writers, specifically Lucian Khan. We want to give a shout out to them. Um, because without their work, we would not be here this morning. So,
Starting point is 00:01:34 yeah, it's super simple system. Um, everything we're going to be rolling is 2D6s. Characters cannot die. There will be no actual death in this game. And the mall sort of exists in a parallel dimension where you can't technically leave. I encourage you all to try, but you can. So the whole game is going to be in a very much 80s and 90s before malls sort of died off. So I encourage you all as you're watching this to get very nostalgic. As you can see behind me and the way that we all look and behave. I will now kick it to my friends to introduce themselves. Let's do alphabetical order. Why do we always got to be first? We can do reverse. I'm Aaron, and this is very unfair. And I'm playing to dig this
Starting point is 00:02:27 close. Hands down one of the most difficult names I've ever had. You really found the hardest one. Uh, I'm Allegra and I'm playing Theo Denanda or just Theo. I'm Amanda and I am playing the Brunhilde. Brunhilde. Now it's just B. It's B. Goddess. Or BHB. B is mostly it. I'm Caleb James Miller, and I'll be playing Apex Bonanaw, better known as Greg. I'm Eli and I am playing Bliss. I'm Sergio and I'm playing Lenore. And I am Zach and I will be your mall rat for this moment in time. If we are ready to begin, I will set our first scene, which is usually early morning at the mall. However, it is summer 1990, which means that it is way too hot and way too early to be around in the mall in the morning.
Starting point is 00:03:51 We're going to begin our story early afternoon at Floppy Joe's Cyber Chili, where we have known both the Visigoths and the Goths to hang out very often. If we can go around, I have some questions for all of you guys. This scene is going to kind of be our establishing session zero sort of session, so everyone bear with us. But I'm going to ask you to describe the way your character looks. Has anything changed since we last played together? And where are you planning to go after the summer is over? This is kind of the last summer before whatever happens after high school. So what happens for you all? I would kick it to honestly, let's popcorn, because Aaron, I understand that you're oppressed
Starting point is 00:04:37 in this February. Sergio or Lenore to start us off. So Lenore has definitely had a costume change in the last two years. Last time we saw her, I believe Lenore was a lot more goth like fishnets, black on black on black, black eye light, you know, the whole thing. I think that the makeup has remained traditional goth, but I think that the clothing has become a little bit more she is a theater tech. And so I think it's looking a little bit more like black overalls with maybe like a dark blue shirt, you know, long sleeve. She's been known to carry around tools. There's almost like a little bit of a I think as she's had a relationship with Theo Denanda as well, I think she's come into a little bit more of a of a tomboy, I guess is a way of
Starting point is 00:05:37 saying it like she was super, super girly and goth at one point and now it's kind of just like, I don't know, almost like embrace the two halves of her. And there's just something a little bit more professional in that kind of working sense. And she is definitely like dead set on going to a school where she can learn, you know, lighting for theater and special effects and seems very gung-ho to one day work, you know, on Broadway or something like that. You know, on like cool dark shows like, you know, Jekyll and Hyde or fucking, you know, Lidny's or something instead of something more humble gun poppy. But yeah, otherwise Lidnor is, yeah, that's it. Okay, then we'll kick it to Theo and I'll let you guys
Starting point is 00:06:27 both chime in on this. Are you two still together also? It's complicated. Yeah, it's been a little awkward lately. Theo does not understand it's complicated. Right. We are still technically in a relationship. Yes. Yes. Oh, technically. Okay. Another word I don't understand. Okay, Theo, how you feeling? How you looking? Theo has not changed physically whatsoever, except for that their hair is longer. Theo refuses to embrace the fashion of the 90s. They're still obsessed with hip hop and rap music. They think it is verbal poetry, which it is. And they they're experimenting with makeup a tiny bit, but they are still very aggressively, I am a Visigoth. It does not matter where I am. I'm still a Visigoth.
Starting point is 00:07:24 But they did find the school's rugby team and found a way to be a warrior in the present day. So they have been the word is scouted for a rugby team at a college. I don't understand what that means or what I'm supposed to do there. But I get to fight other people. So that is good. Feels good. Good. Thank you. Okay, let's kick it to Brett Hilda. And Hilda has definitely definitely embraced the 90s culture. I mean, everything is like you'll see the bright shirt. They even have sports memorabilia. They don't they just saw they thought football was a thing you could chop off feet. But it's just a bunch of people tackling each other. So it's what they take it and they have a bunch of different socks. They quote TV shows. That's how they
Starting point is 00:08:35 learned a little bit. But they get it slightly off and they have a glorious, glorious fanny pack. It's for where you can hold the weapons and any other things you need. It's very useful. Do you keep somehow do you keep Britney Spear in the fanny pack or where is that? Ah, the spear of Britney is always attached because it is a glorious piece. But yeah, think of it like like Donatello and the Ninja Turtles is always like on the back. My favorite Ninja Turtle. I like Donnie. He's very smart. I learned a lot of lessons from those brothers. Wonderful. Then we'll kick it to the other side of this couple. Apex, how you feeling?
Starting point is 00:09:28 Apex has been good, man. He is actually thriving like he's in his element and he's looking towards the future. He's about to go off to college. He recently qualified for a NASA scholarship to attend MIT and he's waiting back on an acceptance letter for whether that goes through or not. He's just really trying to embody this new life he's about to have. He's been very happy with Bren and being with Bren has brought out a new quality to him. He's not quite a top or anything like that anymore. He's just gained a newfound confidence that has brought a new layer to Apex. But recently he started thinking about how finite the world is when you're going off to college and he's questioning things. He's questioning a lot of things. Physically, he's changed his look
Starting point is 00:10:28 because he felt he was too forward-presenting in his past. He's become a very fashionable furry. He even added a little bandana to let people know he's a cool wolf, not a lame wolf. I think that him and Bren have been together, been very happy. He's been showing Bren television. He just spises that Bren is into football but allows it. It was purely because it means that Bren will tackle him on request at any time. And somehow the socks just really get him going. He likes the feel of the fabric. And they've taken two spending a lot of time together. Almost every night he curls up at our feet. Amazing. I'm going to take this time now, as I'm all rat, to say that this is the summer after high school. So everyone's going to be
Starting point is 00:11:26 18. Because based on the words you just said to me, it's better that everyone is 18. But it does look like Apex and Bren are still together and they're happily together. We fucking. Great. Yeah, I'm so glad I said that. And we're going to call me 18, Zach. Thank you. We're going to go to Bliss. Bliss has not necessarily changed but just elevated and upgraded themselves. So they're just now ascending into the true goth form that they were always meant to be. Um, so, you know, usually get a like, you know, leather jacket, like it's summer, but, you know, leather jacket, pants, boots, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:19 she's got fancy shades for, you know, to keep the sun out. But other than that, nothing has relatively changed for Bliss. Sweet. Sweet. And lastly, food, how you feel? Dex is close. It is not that hard. But I, I don't think I've changed in any substantive way. I think I am very much dedicated to the old ways and maintaining the semblance of our great culture. We are, after all, the ones who defeated the Romans in the forest. And that is a legacy worth living up to. So it is my, I have made it my duty in life to resurrect the old Germanic religion. I'm calling it neo-Germanism. And I am ready to
Starting point is 00:13:17 spread it to the world. My intention is to go from town to town, village to village, hamlet to hamlet, spreading the good word of Walden and his murderous ways. Thank you, Deacon. Thank you so much for that. I have, I now have several follow-up questions for everyone. So, okay, so it looks like food is leaning into it, into everything that a visigoth is. How does that affect your relationship between Theo and Bran? Because it seems like Bran is fully doing the opposite thing. Are y'all still cool? How are the visigoths feeling as a unit? I am pretending to be cool with Bran Hilda, but deep down, I am very depressed that they are abandoning their culture. They used to be such a mighty symbol of our ways. They were
Starting point is 00:14:08 our greatest warriors, and now look at them. Their visage has completely been destroyed. Once a proud visigoth warrior, and now this... I still have not forgiven Tugekska's close for dabbling in the capital G-O-D-E god. I said, I'm sorry, sister, I'm sorry. An apology does not forgive going toward the Romans. And in the words of Cher, as if, talk to the hand. Speaking of dabbling in the capital G-God, Thud, are you still sneaking around with Benedict? I'm sorry, what did you say? Are you still sneaking around with the Catholic boy that runs the Christian bookstore? Oh, I forgot about that. Let's, let's say yes. Yes, let's say yes.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Okay, lovely, thank you. Okay, my... I forgot, are you hooking up with the Catholic boy? I don't think, no, I think I'm just really fascinated with, with his whole, with his whole shtick. He tells me, he tells me about the... It would be less shameful if you were fucking... He introduced me to the John the Foreman. And he has, he has most, most, most magnificent, most magnificent hair. Okay, I do want to clarify that Apex told everyone that somebody was giving somebody sloppy toppy, and I, we didn't address that again. I know who it is. Okay, great. I think we all do. You can work out the truth of that between the three of you. While you're doing that, I will move on to my mock-offs. It looks like
Starting point is 00:16:10 some of these notes that I have about last session have no context anymore. Half of this game is just going to be interpreting what the hell we did last session. Honestly, no. Okay, but as a unit, mock-offs, do you guys feel that you're all still friends? I want to... One of the things we left off at was Apex was level four, or at, like, the fourth member of the team. We got about the levels. Yeah, there's been a promotion. Wait, he ended up... That's up to Bliss whether there's been a promotion. I mean, two years? That has to require... We're still together, yeah. We're still together. Yeah, you have to be at least number three now. Okay, great. Congratulations. I'm coming for that two spot.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I beat the invisible third member. I think we're okay for the most part. I think that LeNor is probably struggling the most out of everybody with the fact that she's going to be going away to college. She sees that Bliss is still basically the same Bliss that she was two years ago, and that bothers her a little bit, but she's not going to say anything about it. But I think she's feeling it, but I think everything's copacetic as long as they're all hanging out and stuff from the mall. We always have them all. We always have them all. I think that Apex sees a little bit of weakness in LeNor being afraid of going off to college, and that forward movement, and senses an unseen tension between the two,
Starting point is 00:17:46 and thinks he can use that momentum to climb up and rank. But he's also in the same boat as LeNor, where he's realizing that he has to be a real person after this summer, and so he's really forward thinking. He's trying to think of the furry he's got to be tomorrow, not the furry he's got to be today. Great. Thank you. Okay, lovely. While you all, I will start you all off in Floppy Joe's Cyber Chili Cafe. Like I said, it's late afternoon, or early afternoon. You all have been coming to the mall. After all, you always have the mall a little later in the dog days of summer. But we're coming towards the end of it. We've got a few more weeks, and Floppy Joe comes up to you. Actually, are you all sitting together,
Starting point is 00:18:40 or are you sitting in your separate groups? I think together. I think together, yeah. There's enough crossover. Lovely. Yeah, we're the really annoying fucking table of theater kids at Denny's and until this clock in the morning. Yes, and I like to push two tables together. And I would like to be scratching Epex's ear. I'm like completely cuddled up into the patterned shirt, like underneath and nuzzling on the neck of Bran. You guys are getting hair on the food. Could you not? Usually dogs sit on the floor. Usually. Wow. This is like a part of my culture. So if you're like speaking against my identity, we're going to have like serious issues, because this is a lot more than just me. And it's who I am. And it is a part of our culture
Starting point is 00:19:31 that the dogs live out on the street and fend for themselves. He is not a dog. He is a wolf. Great. The forest even further away. That is what we do with wolves. We kill them. And then wear their pelts as a suit. Brother understands. Well, I mean, we have been here for a while. Seems like you two just need to adapt, but that's what all warriors do. Yeah, maybe. I still fight. Well, maybe B's right. Maybe you guys have been here for a while. It's time to like, you know, find some new digs. But perhaps it is time to conquer. I'm taken. As soon as you say that, I'm kind of just kind of zoned out and just like kind of like, let them be bitchy. I'm enjoying my life. You hear the sound of a vacuum, a very,
Starting point is 00:20:27 very loud, old vacuum that is steadily getting louder as it's like approaching the table. I'm reaching Britney Spears. Like, that noise scares me a little bit. You hear an old, older black man saying, no Spears. We've already talked about this. And it is our boy Floppy Joe. Floppy. Hello, Floppy Joseph. Thank you. Floppy Joseph, as if. I'm not just going to sit here and pretend like I'm not hungry. So I'll order a Floppy Joe,
Starting point is 00:21:07 if you don't mind. Joe. Yeah, Joe's all around, I assume. No, doesn't really work with my diet. Could I get a steak as rare as you can get it? I've got a hunger that can't be matched. We don't. I'm going to point to the side and I want you to read it. This is Floppy Joe's cyber chili. We got chili. We got Floppy Joe's. Yeah, but you got to make the chili out of some kind of meat, right? Yeah. You know what? You know what? We actually did have a recent change to the menu. And he looks at the Visigoths last time, when you guys first got here, you complained about not having mice on the menu. And I can't do that, because this is where food is. But I did have sort
Starting point is 00:21:57 of a second weird option that might appeal to some of your more primal people. And it is just ground turkey. Oh, that's lovely. As raw as it comes, fresh off the bird. Yes. You ground the meat of a bird. This fresh ground meat that is fresh that I have for you. Eating a ground bird sounds dangerous. It sounds like I don't want to eat the feathers, you know? No, no, no, no. There's no feathers. But you said you ground up a bird. Yeah, the meat of the bird. You take the meat out and you grind it and you take it. But then what happens to the rest of the bird? That seems awfully wasteful, Floppy of the Joe. A good question. I don't know. Theo, we went over this last Fourth of July,
Starting point is 00:22:47 okay? It's just ground meat. It's not a big deal if you want some, eat it. Ground, but it sounds like it's been on the ground. I thought you weren't supposed to eat things that came off the ground. You told me this. You know what, they're kind of getting to me, because you bring the feathers too. You want the feathers? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And Floppy Joe goes back and he's, you know, you're lucky that certain people stopped in today and puts what looks like, like Michael's feathers, like craft feathers. He just like sprinkles them on the plate like garnish and delivers them to you. Some glitter scouts dropped these off this morning. So I guess that those are your feathers. Is this a particular bird? Like,
Starting point is 00:23:35 is this a fancy turkey? Because it has multiple colors. Yeah, it's the new turkeys. The new turkeys. What did you do with the old ones? They no longer live. That's probably what I would do. Yep, exactly what she said. They no longer live. Do you guys, are you good? Can I, these are good? I guess this will subside my hunger for now. Watch out for me, Floppy Joe. I may need some servings, but Joe starts fucking just going ham on the plate. No hands, like mouth straight to the plate. Joe, before you go, I have a question. Yeah. What, what is it that you do? I'm so curious. What is it that you do that makes the Joe's so floppy? Oh, well, I guess I, I take it, right? And I put it in a bag with the seasonings
Starting point is 00:24:32 and stuff. And then I just kind of, you know, and that sort of gets them where they need to be. Usually I don't have time for that now, because it's the lock in tonight. But that's what I like to do. You're showing good form, by the way. That's a good form when you actually need to take off multiple like heads of your enemies. That's a good form. Yeah, that's what Brent does with my body. Okay, okay. You have to raise your hand. This is all the time. Wait, Joe, did you say there was a lock in? Yes, that is my question as well. Yeah, the glitter scouts lock ins tonight. That's why I got to make all these sandwiches. All these little kids are going to be running around here overnight and they never bring enough food and suddenly it's up to them all to make sure
Starting point is 00:25:15 they don't die. I remember when my mom wanted me to be a glitter scout. Yeah, it's what to glitter scouts. What glitter scouts again? Yeah, okay. Can I have, actually, no, you guys don't have to roll for it. You can see the, yeah, that basically it's a form of like girl scouts, boy scouts combined together. They are a bunch of little kids in purple glitter sashes that go around selling cupcakes. And this is their one little like end of summer event where they are locked into the mall overnight. I never wear one of those dumb sashes. Maybe look like an idiot. Yeah, more than usual. Man, I love to flip one of their trays. I mean, I mean, I want to, I want to support them. Maybe I'll give them some money. Well, they're all over the place
Starting point is 00:26:05 selling cupcakes. They're going to try to get as much as they can before the mall actually closes. So if you see one. Manor, you got money? I mean, I've been working a little bit on the side. Yeah. Saving up for college and stuff. She has done hard work. She is good at this. Shit. Where you been working? Mostly at Dracula video on the side once in a while. Because, you know, I love movies and stuff. I was actually going to say Theo, if you wanted, I wanted to pick up something at Dracula video for one company later. Life without dreaming is a life without meaning. Shit. Is that another rap lyric? Yes. Wow. You're really good at keeping that up. And yet, rejecting modernity at the same time. Yes, that is the only thing I like about this world.
Starting point is 00:26:55 It's very gangster of you. Thank you. That's what I like about you. I have heard that gangster is a good thing. You are also gangster. Actually, if you kids are both gangster and don't have anything to do for the afternoon, can I ask you to go to FEDA for me? I just want to see what they're doing to get prepared. We just, yeah. We don't work for you, Joe. Is there something you could give us in return? Yeah, the mall. If we don't pull this off, if these kids don't go to sleep and wake up with the same amount of people that were alive as the kids that went to sleep, they're going to shut them all down. Not forever, but it's just... They shut down the mall? This is like a really risky venture to to risk the entire mall over this. They should hold it
Starting point is 00:27:40 somewhere else. It's not normally, but the air conditioner has been kind of weird lately and they don't even want to hold the lock in. They think the mall is not safe for anyone to be in, and if this goes badly, it'll just prove them right, and they'll shut them all down until they're... Who are these raiders that threaten to come and shut down this glorious mall? Yes, because I want to tell them to take a chill out. Where? Like the city. Where is this city? Point them out and they shall be dead. Where is the city? Who is the city? He points... Oh, well, first it's the mall boss, and then like the commerce person, whatever their name is. I don't even know. But do they have an office at the mall? They might. Do they have a name?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Yeah, um, you want to look for Evans? Evans. I don't know their first name, they just go by Evans. Is there like a Sharpie pen like here? I think, I think you have a collection of like gel pens around you at all times. Out of my fanny pack, and I'm gonna write Evans just on the arm. Wait, no. B, don't scar your skin like that. Use me and Apex's skin in his forehead. I will write Evans on his forehead. And then I will go ahead... I mean, my god, the thought of a world without malls, like, impossible. We have to make sure tonight goes off without a hitch. Yes, we will find this Evans and we will blood eagle him for all to see. What's a blood eagle? Oh, you do not want to know.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Okay, it sounds pretty sick. I kind of want to know. Okay, so... Do you know that Dracula movie? Yeah, it's the worst. Well, that that they just stick. Yes. So what you do is you place a person on their knees and you bind their hands behind their back. And then you take a very long blade and you split their back open and you remove both of their lungs and place them up on their shoulder. And then they slowly suffocate. And now it's actually a very merciful way to execute someone because if they do not scream, if they do not cry out in pain for help or for mercy, then they have a chance at entering the glorious afterlife. If they do cry out, then they are damned. Is this the kind of thing we can expect at your church?
Starting point is 00:30:35 Fascinating. You said, fed? Yeah, thank you. If your kids just want to go and see what they're doing, I'm starting to get a little nervous. Like, I don't know if I made enough sandwiches. And if those little kids get hungry, it'll be a problem. If it gets me away from this conversation, I'm happy to go talk to Feta for five seconds. Great. Good one, Bliss. This sucks. I agree. I just look at apex for a second and then look away. Okay, good. Now we will close out this first scene unless anyone has anything else they want to accomplish. We will also reintroduce the concept of passageways between every scene while you guys are in the hallways of the mall. You can also perform actions, speak to each other.
Starting point is 00:31:23 This was more for when you guys were two separate groups and wanted to connect, that if you just want to like pass notes or have a little moment before you get to a store, you can do that after every scene. The mall away hallway. Exactly. I think Lenora would just have a moment with the other Doth's where she's like, and I suppose Theo could be there as well, but she would just kind of like, wow, you know, all this talk about the mall, I realize I haven't been here for a couple months, actually. It's been a little while, like things have changed. Man, we're all growing up so fast. I think it's changed so much. It's just like any other day. Yeah, we just like graduated, like it's not such a big deal. Where were you guys, by the way,
Starting point is 00:32:08 during graduation? I went looking for you guys couldn't find you anywhere. Which party did we go to, Bliss? We were somewhere, right? Yeah, we were at the same place. I thought we were calling you like we totally tried to text you. It's weird. Yeah, it must be that weird glitch we're always talking about where I get no messages or calls from either of you. I mean, you were probably just making out with B again, and you always ignore the phone at that point. Yeah, you're right. She does have a pretty big hold on me. Big hold on me. But we know. But I do think tonight would be a very awesome time to just lay the final legacy for us here at the mall. You know what I'm saying? If we can keep this glitter scout thing under wraps and the mall
Starting point is 00:32:55 can keep going, don't remember us. You know, once we all go off to wherever it is, we are all going. You think they'll put our faces like on a plaque or something on the walls? At least a sticker or some kind on a door. I could always bring some spray paint. We could do a little graffiti. That might be a little more permanent. Oh, I like that too. Oh, fuck yeah. Always with good ideas, Lenore. Either way, it's crazy that like this is going to be the last summer we all spend together the three of us. I mean, we've been doing this since God, the last thousand years. Now, don't remind me. I'm feeling weird about it, but whatever. If you ever need to talk about it, Lenore, we're here for you. Another time. Let's just get this feta thing over with. Sick. Yeah, it's not really
Starting point is 00:33:46 a sigma thing to talk about your feelings anyway. So let's keep moving. Now, gods are clearly going to feta. Visigoths and Morgoths can technically always move independent of each other. Visigoths, are you also going to feta? I am going to go to feta. I will also go to feta. But on the way, I would like to speak to my brother and Bren Hilda, or I'm so sorry, B. I believe we have a singular opportunity this evening. Ah, go on. These small scouts, these little glitter bugs, or whatever they were called. I believe we can turn them to the glory of the Visigoths and leave our mark in a very certain way. Go on. We sack them all with the tiny. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:51 We sack them all. You sack them all. For glory. For glory. That's what we do. We sack, we pillage, we burn. Yes, but we don't pillage our own. Very frequently we do. We pillage others. We usually pillage with our enemies. But our enemies here, we find Benedict and anyone is an enemy if you pillage them. But I always kind of thought of this place as like, was that he showed me like how you do in France. This is our place. That's what I, that's why will we destroy our own. We should be destroying others. That's where I'm at. Much like Walden had to die before he could be made new on the tree of life, we must too hang ourselves on the Yggdrasil of this small so that we can start our new lives as adults.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Brother understands. Yes, but brother has been, haven't you been still talking to the Catholic boy? He has. Who, who told you that? I mean, he's a sneaky brother. None at all. They are sneaky. You. I just want to pillage and burn. I do not wish to, I do not wish to talk about this. It seems like you don't want to talk about your feelings, and that's a problem with. We are, we are Visigas. We don't talk about our feelings. We pillage and we burn. Not talking about our feelings is a very Roman thing to do. Look, I have, I have a confession. I have dedicated myself to the ways of Brittany and Spears, and I am stronger than I was yesterday. That is true. You are losing your edge, but your strength has not waned.
Starting point is 00:36:48 I have evolved, adopted. I am now more powerful because of that. Look at you, stand out. Me, I can sneak up behind Evans and kill him because I blend. And with, with you blending in front of the store, we will start our second scene. It is late afternoon. We are at Feta Worse Than Death as you all approach the entrance of the store. You see a Victorian goth girl about the same age as you all in a Victorian dress, like full Lolita sort of outfit. And she is, she doesn't even see you walking, so you do not get a high welcome. Lenore is going to go ahead, Vliss if you have something. Oh no, no, you go. Lenore just walks in and probably like literally every other customer is like,
Starting point is 00:37:36 oh, did someone fart in here? And then immediately regrets saying it. It's like, I'm sorry. Hi, how are you guys? Nice to see you all. Judith, hey. Judith's head whips around and she has like a suspiciously, like large amount of like different cheese on like her hands or like where she might have like wiped off her face like she is a mess. And she goes, it looks like she's going to yell like she's so upset. And then she goes, we're doing the best we can. Please be nice. Okay, the Glitter Scouts are coming and I do not have enough samples. They keep asking for samples. What can I do for you? Judith, so nice to see you. Yeah, really good to see you.
Starting point is 00:38:27 We were just coming by because Sloppy Joe was just wanting to check in to see how you're doing and we're just stopping by. I'm fine. Yeah, fine. You look. You're not a very good liar. I'm fine. It's just we're running out of cheese and they keep, the Scouts, they keep coming in and asking for samples. They usually something will tell you to stop asking for samples like we're going to run out of samples and we sell the cheese so we can't give away the cheese for free. We can't give it all away for free, but they keep asking. Judith, have you tried saying no? They're too cute to say no. Have you ever said no to a Glitter Scouts? Why don't you like just go by like craft singles and give them that stuff? They won't know the difference. They'll love it.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Yeah. Oh, good idea. Good idea. Why don't I just scrape the dust off the ground and wet it a little bit and give it to everybody? I mean, it'll be cheese dust, so it probably wouldn't be bad. I believe they do it with what you call hot dogs that they sell in the food court all of the time. Oh, the liquid cheese. Is there something I can do for all of you? We were just told to check in on you and see what you were doing to prep for the kids. Like, what should we tell Joe? Like, is he ready for this or no? No one can ever be ready for this. I'm doing the best I can, but we will never have enough. These babies are so hungry. This mall is going to stink if all these kids are eating cheese.
Starting point is 00:40:08 I mean, to say your food is delicious, but come on, cheese has a byproduct. Have you thought of just scaring the children away? That usually will fix a lot. Yeah, be like just like use your howl. You got to get in deep from the chest and just growling away. Yeah. I mean, Apex could always just post up outside and scare the kids if they come too close. Or an excellent guard dog. I was once hired to stand outside of a barn's nobles for 14 hours. I was there for 16. They didn't even have to ask me. Can Blisk just go over to the door and then flip the sign from open to close? Yes, you can. Oh, that works too. Yeah. Look, problem solved, Judith. They won't be coming in here anymore until you're ready, at least.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Thank you. Yes, that should keep them away. But I like the idea of scaring them. If you can, if you see them, if you can scare them or, I mean, during, while the mall is open, it's fine. But it's really when the mall closes that things get weird. So please, yes, if you could just sort of be the protection between us and them, all of you, that would be great. What do you mean? Oh, yeah, I scare plenty of children. I got you. Giving children fear is a great joy to me. It's a good way to build character. Blisk, can I just have you roll 2d6 real quick? Sure. Cool. I heard your question. Five. Okay. So of the things that you've been noticing, because you're also a witch,
Starting point is 00:41:44 so you're tuned into this, the moon is slightly and every night up to this night has been getting increasingly more purple. Now that you are all in the mall and you have seen Floppy Joe was vacuuming purple glitter. What is left in the store, there's evidence of glitter scouts being in here and asking for samples. There's glitter on the floor, on the counter, just the same purple that the moon has been. And the fact that all of these grown adults are afraid of a couple of kids in overnight, this is the weird. Something is happening. I think Blisk is going to go up to Judith and just be like, what do you know that I don't know? What's going on? Why are you so scared? What's weird? Is it the moon? It's the moon. But honestly, I like that kind of thing. So that's
Starting point is 00:42:44 fine. But it's just the girls are working on something and I don't know what they're working on. They're very serious about it. One of them left their shopping list here and I know they're going to come back for it, but I can't leave because I don't want to go find them and hands you a shopping list or rather a to-do list that the glitter scouts have created. And I will send that to everyone over at this court right now. Okay. While Blisk is having that conversation just a moment ago, Apex and B were agreeing on about something. What was it? It was like you both should just howl. Right, right. The whole howling thing and hair kits maybe stay out and go. Right. And so Lenore is standing next to Theo and just kind of like whispers to Theo like,
Starting point is 00:43:38 man, it's crazy how much B and Apex just are really in sync, you know? In sync. That is a band. I don't listen to that band. I mean, like they just like get each other. Like they really are always agreeing on everything. It's kind of rare, you know? Yes, that is very special. Our relationship is also very special because you like things that I do not like and I like things that you do not like. But don't you think that could also like pull people apart also? Hmm. I had not considered that. Yeah. Don't worry about it anyway. It just let's just let's keep talking cheese.
Starting point is 00:44:28 You guys, ma visigoths, I can't read this. Does this look familiar to you? You're illiterate? Not that I'm a Lenore, please. It's just written in a different language. It feels more your avenue. May I see? I hand Theo the note. Sounds like this reads like the names of Theo Fidusa Kloos's cousins. Who is trying to read the note after Bliss? Me. Okay, everyone that's trying to read it, give me a quick 2D6. If you can add any modifiers, if you think you can try to weed that in there, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Can I detect lies? Yeah, if you want to see if anything on the list is bullshit, feel free. Can I see if anything is... Okay, no. Can I use make levitate on the list to hold it up to the light to see if there's any information that's like been erased or anything like that or like... Yes, incredible. Yes, roll in after modifier. I rolled a 9. 9, Lenore.
Starting point is 00:45:44 14, and Lenore you rolled an 11? Yes. Sweet. Okay, so all of you know that this is not English. This is not any language that physicals speak. For the bullshit check, everything on this list is real. It was written by a Glitter Scout and is something that they intend to get in the mall today. It's almost like Pig Latin, you know what I mean? We think it's maybe like the letters are mixed up or something. Do your pigs speak the Roman language?
Starting point is 00:46:17 Is there any chance it's like Wolf Latin? Well, no, can you speak on Wolf Latin? Yeah. I only know like preliminary phrases and everything. It's really in depth and you've got to go to the 8chan link to really learn through because it's like a Duolingo API that you can put in through the back of the channels so that you can learn every day. But like write this one that like kind of sounds like Fudica in Wolf Latin that'd be... Fascinating. Can you give me another example I'd like to learn? Sure. Yeah, absolutely. The second word.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Aric Amorica is more like... Keep going. What about Game Sika? That one's a little more delicate. That one's... I mean, we're almost there. Can it Kadele Sika? Yeah, let me just walk away from my my mall mic. Last but not least, Mevica. Yeah, Mevica. That took a lower turn than I was expecting. I think I should maybe stop before my mom neighbors are really upset.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I don't think there's inspiration in this game, but just know that like the next game by DM, it'll absolutely roll over. Yeah, Apex just always is. Oh my god, thank you so much. That's going to turn into one of those fucking little shorts we do on Twitter. It's just going to be like... No, no, it's not. Never, never, Sergei. We'll never do that.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Thank you for sharing your culture with us. Yeah, as informative as it was, I still am no closer to understanding what this stuff is. Like Fudica, are they just saying food? It would never be that simple, right? It sounds like the wise warrior of Fudica that I've heard of. So you mean like the food court? Yeah, about court, CA. Oh, is it one of those game things?
Starting point is 00:48:33 Like the word, like the word, Sergei. A word to scramble, perhaps. Yes, Eric Murka. What would you food guys? Yeah, what would you re-contextualize that as, Mevica? One minute. Acid food. Well, the third one could be games.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Judith sees you all after that moment and says, you might want to ask one of them at night because they wrote it. It might be helpful. You can try and decipher it. I think that's super fun too, but if you'd like to... I think we got this, Judith. Thanks. Yeah, so I think that third one might be games. Like the arcade?
Starting point is 00:49:22 The second one might also be arcade. Oh, why would they have two? I mean, if we happen to pass these little sprites, we can ask them. All right, okay. You guys mind if we go to the Dracula video real quick? Yeah, Lenore, whatever you want to do, man. We got to cross more things off the little college bucket list. Maybe we'll find some of them at the Dracula video, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:56 There's not food there. I thought they said the babies were hungry. But how hard can it be to find a glitter scout? I mean, one must imagine that they sparkle everywhere that they go. I suppose, yeah, we could literally just follow the glitter trail. That is true. Well, there's no telling they're not at Dracula's. Maybe they're getting a movie for tonight's sit-in.
Starting point is 00:50:16 I mean, we can always separate if you want to try to, you guys can go take your movie. We can go find this glitter scout. I don't see why we can't. It immediately looks at feels. Is that what you want to do? You want to break up? Or I mean, I mean, split up, split the groups up?
Starting point is 00:50:33 Split up. Whoa. We can split up. Yes. You know, splitting up is how we killed the Romans, right? Because we split the Roman army in half, and then half of them once we do it. Divide them and conquer.
Starting point is 00:50:46 No, I'm saying we, if we split up, we're the Romans. It's a very bad idea. So I'll go to the food court, and you guys go to the movie theater. And anybody else who wants to come with me can come with me. We're splitting up again? I mean, guys, this is our last summer together. We got to soak up as much time as we can all together. All of us are going to college.
Starting point is 00:51:15 All of us. It is like the eve of a fun, like before the night of a great battle. We have a last hurrah for all the potential death. We'll have that last hurrah, but we still need to just find these little sprites or whatever. Apex. Apex is right. I don't think we should split up anymore.
Starting point is 00:51:33 We have, we have a saying in our culture, and it's that, sleeping is practicing for death. Think of this temporary splitting up as practicing for the time to come. Yes, because whatever you love can be taken away. So live like it's your dying day. Who are those in Muto Woods? Uh, Kelly with the machine gun. I got to be honest with you, all that advice fucking blows.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Most of it has to do with me fucking dying. I don't like that beat. You will not die with me here. Thanks be. And if you do die, just make sure that you do so gloriously. Living life is a choice. Making a difference. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Who told you about that? Keep your tongue in our mouth. Okay. Do not get mad at him. And I look at the selection right now. The text is close. She's so modernized. She can't even pronounce the name anymore.
Starting point is 00:52:51 She lost the language. He hasn't said B at all. He's been calling me by my name. So why should I be calling his name? Okay, no more dead name each other. I can't decide. Whatever, whatever the group's doing, I'll just do it. Maybe there's a lot of tension.
Starting point is 00:53:07 I'm starting to... We'll just go to the... We'll just go to the movies, to the video store. Jesus. Okay, looks like we're all going to... Are you okay, Bliss? You sound upset. You're not upset with us, with me and Lenore, are you?
Starting point is 00:53:21 It's more like them, right? Not me, of course. I just turned around and walked towards the video store. Sick, cool. I'll take your silence as an affirmative. You know that can be interpreted as rude. How rude. All right, to the store of the moving paid things.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Wonderful. Okay, so we are now... We're at scene three, which is early evening. We're at Dracula video. The mall is starting to clear out most of the people that stay here are either people that work here, or other cool teens, such as yourself. You enter Dracula video, which is the video rental store.
Starting point is 00:54:15 You see Fritz Fang, who apex you absolutely know, because he is a werewolf. And I believe you guys touched foreheads last time. Did we really? Yes. This kind of feels like we all had way too much to drink last night, and Zach is like retelling everything that happened. And Zach is like, oh yeah, Zach is going to do that.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Yeah, we worked extremely hard last night. I have no recollection of Fritz Fang. I know, I know. I'm here to give you guys a couple of cues before we start. Did we really like each other? We found like werewolf solidarity. Yeah, you guys were bros. Was I into him at all?
Starting point is 00:54:55 No, it wasn't like that. It was very much homies. Like you guys were talking about how hard it was to be furries. Together, you guys were in struggle. Just two bottoms talking. I got you. Exactly. Do we see any sprites around here?
Starting point is 00:55:12 Any, what are these called, the glitter scouts? Glitter scouts. Glitter scouts. The purple glitter bombs. Roll, and everyone that wants to take a quick look around the store that wants to see something other than Fritz going to roll for me. Can I use my levitation again to rise above all of the shelves and just look down?
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yes, yes you can. I rolled a four. I rolled a four. I rolled 10. I rolled 11. Cool. Damn. Food apex, y'all looking?
Starting point is 00:55:44 For your right. I got the five. Okay, so Lenore and Theo, you see a sort of like rush, like someone quickly turning a corner around a wall or a doorway. And a adult like foot that looks like someone that's been laying on the ground quickly pulls their foot back from behind the counter. No one else sees that. I drop my levitation and plummet to the ground and land over top of the person.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Okay, who are you? I'm going to rush over because I saw that. Okay, what's everyone else doing? I'm going to go see Fritz if I don't see this. Okay. Plus this is aimlessly wandering through the store looking at different videos and stuff like that. I'm not engaged. I'll probably follow Theo.
Starting point is 00:56:42 I too wish to charge into battle. I was going to say if I saw Theo drop down, I would assume they caught someone. So I'm going to go with Britney Spear. I'm going to take that out. Okay, so you see, you do see a glitter scout. It is a very short, maybe four foot tall brown skin girl with a purple sash who's standing over a grown man who's like maybe mid 40s in a sort of janitor's like suit, like one piece suit who's laying on the ground and he looks like he's lost a fight.
Starting point is 00:57:26 He's sort of like scoot back against the wall from this girl. And immediately when you all turn the corner, they both look at you. He looks terrified and she looks as if she's been caught. Hey little glitter shit, what are you doing? I bend the knee to this tiny glitter scout who has downed a janitor. Small but mighty warrior. What is your business here? What has this cretin done to deserve such treatment?
Starting point is 00:58:06 He just got my way and the janitor goes I was doing my job. I was doing my job. All I did was clean and you leave so much glitter everywhere and she goes shut up. Listen to the tiny warrior. It would do you well to keep her mouth closed. Who are you? Why are you helping me? What is this?
Starting point is 00:58:28 I'm not here for you. I'm here and I turned my attention to the glitter scout for you tiny warrior. This is the tiny warrior saying who are you and why are you helping me? Oh it is. I thought it was the man. I forgot he had a moustache accent. My bad. Look first of all feel you're approaching this the wrong way.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Okay it's a little kid. You don't show them that amount of respect. Okay they got to show us respect. They have already shown their value Lenore. Why scaring an old dude? Oh the glitter ship what the hell are you doing scaring this guy? What are you up to? What is this thing?
Starting point is 00:59:00 Now I'm going to hold up the menu. The list. Yeah menu. Well she tries to actually roll a D roll 2d6 for me. She's going to try to snatch it out of your hand. Oh no you don't. Oh boy here we go. Oh another I keep rolling a five and a six eleven.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Yeah. She rolled a six. She's going to snatch it and it's just too tall for her. She goes give that back. We're trying to. Yeah that's right. I'm looking at you like this is why you don't. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:59:31 We're trying to get everything bright for tonight and he was getting in my way. Now this is our mall now. You two are just going to have to wait until we're done. What is your plan here? I am also a warrior as is my friend Bee and we would love to help execute your plan. You would?
Starting point is 00:59:52 To take the mall. Yes I would. This is wait wait wait it's but it's our mall not your mall. No we would like to share the mall with you and learn of your plans. Yes let us merge forces so that we can better conquer. Well first off I only work with other glitter scouts. We're the future. You guys have had your time in the mall but it's kind of played.
Starting point is 01:00:20 It's kind of done. Wow this is really this is striking me harder than it should. This hurts. Well I'm sorry. The fact that my girlfriend just loves this new regime change and Lenore's just going to stomp off. Little glitter scouts. People are weird.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Are you going as well? Please tell me what do these words mean? Yes. Oh it's it's like double talk. What does double talk mean? I do not understand double talk. You will have to make this simple for a little fool like me. Yes is this like category?
Starting point is 01:00:59 No like okay so my name is like Maisie like Mytica Namica Isaka Maisika Isaka. Oh my goodness that's to the name we were right. Yes. Okay okay. Wait wait. Aureka Morica. Armor?
Starting point is 01:01:20 Armor? Gamesica? American Eagle? Canica? Candles? Okay. Meb. I don't know what meb is.
Starting point is 01:01:30 What is meb? My name is meb. Says the man on the ground. Wait wait. Meb your name is meb. Yes my name is meb and I'm the janitor and I just want to finish my job. If you could get this girl away from me please. Why is the name meb?
Starting point is 01:01:49 That does not that is not that is not the good one. What do you mean why is my name? The names are the way they are. But meb? It's my fuck name. I'm not one who got defeated by the warriors. I would shut the fuck up. Okay well first off have you ever had a bag full of glitter
Starting point is 01:02:04 shoved down your throat? Because you can't spit that all out at once. It's choking hazard and that's why I keep trying to get them to clean the fucking glitter. Are you choking? This is a baby. Why are you shoving glitter down your throat? Because I wanted him to be quiet. Understandable.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Thank you. I mean he is annoying. He keeps telling us that we can't walk around with our glitter sashes because it's messing up them all and it's a choking hazard and it's like I don't understand. Only for me because it's a choking hazard. Only that we die of choking. Yes so I'm trying to make sure that he doesn't leave and he won't stop moving and meb is like
Starting point is 01:02:52 stuck up against this wall like Maisie is holding it down. Well as you were small warrior thank you for your wisdom and I look forward to you taking on the new leadership of them all and I walk out. They're cool thank you now meb says well now that they see you leaving if I can't stop these girls I can't clean the air conditioner which means I'm gonna have to close them all. That is your problem meb figure it out. Meb is terrified. I immediately go to bliss.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I hate them all. I'm yeah I'm still I'm still perusing through through stuff I'm like sliding. I go to bliss first because I left the group earlier. Yeah okay okay we hold quiet. There you time with bliss here we go take a number. So Lenore, Lenore comes up first and she's like god I fucking oh my god sometimes I wish I was asexual like you. Trey I mean Lenore I do enjoy the occasional kissing but yeah you're right I do not like
Starting point is 01:04:03 to attach myself. Yeah yeah you're right I mean I just noticed you yeah you're not as attached and it is messy. It's messy things are getting messy I don't know what to do I think Theo and I are drifting apart as I get ready to go to college. I mean is that so much of a bad thing Lenore? I mean I haven't thought about it but I mean I feel like Theo's been a good influence on me I mean I've been like bullying a lot less people. Sure sure and now you have an eclectic spread of little quips of rap lyrics too.
Starting point is 01:04:40 It's fine it's great it's a time and a place but you know. So you're saying I should be in the college mindset of just experimenting and you know dating people and love isn't real real. I think that is what I'm trying to tell you yes yeah be free. Well she's coming let's pretend like we're not talking about it. Theo! Always spry as ever I saw you over there yeah that's great. Hello yes I have broken the code.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Cozu. Candles. Arcade. Games. Hold on I have to look at the list again. Food. Arcade. Games. Candles. Meb. They have already crossed one thing off of their list so we must take all of the things that they need before they can get to them. We must get the armor we must destroy the arcade so they cannot use it and we must get candles I don't know why we need candles but we need to get their things before they get their things because this is our mall they cannot take our mall. Yeah but earlier you sounded like you wanted them to destroy the mall and destroy the AC like you don't care about the mall. For a person who deals in theater you do not understand lies.
Starting point is 01:05:49 You were lying the whole time you were pretending? Yes you lied to children. Lied to children there's nothing wrong with lying to children. Wow I'm impressed. There is don't lie to kids. Okay so if we're still all in this together then I mean what they got meb they wanted to stop meb so I guess he couldn't fix the AC but what do they want candles games and the arcade for? I don't know but we need to take all of them and armor we need armor because they are small and they are rainbow. I was gonna say what was interpreted as arcade is actually armor. Oh excuse me armor. Okay. Yeah you guys already got to it you just forgot.
Starting point is 01:06:35 I mean my overalls are pretty thick I don't think anything any glitter is gonna get through it. Your overall armor may be thick but spears are sharp and they have teeth. These kids are gonna have spears? They could. Yeah why are they arming themselves? Well then I guess we need to go to these stores and stop them from grabbing something from there then right? Yeah you didn't hear this little glitter shit talking about how they are taking over the mall that they're the new you know leads of this mall. Everyone every year tries to say that they want to take over the mall and at the end of the day who takes over the mall it's fine. You know all we need to do is get battle ready isn't that what does it cost to just get battle?
Starting point is 01:07:19 Yes. Yeah so why don't we just armor up or whatever and kick little glitter sprites. Man my therapist is gonna hate this but I can't wait to kick their ass. From there we're gonna wipe two frints and apex at the counter. Oh wait wait sorry. Okay um um Brent just uh come back to me later just no I'm not gonna leave meb with this little kid. Okay you're still in the hallway. Yeah I'm still with that yeah. Sweet sweet okay um apex you are at the counter with Fritz uh he is excited to see you. He also has he has his ears or not like you have four ears right Fritz's ears are like fully wolf ears. You don't know if it's like surgery or if he's an IRL werewolf but it's a different thing. Damn. He goes what's up dude?
Starting point is 01:08:16 I think that apex doesn't even speak at first he's just kind of put his hands down on the counter at least primed himself into a very like cautious uh point of view. You see Fritz getting more and more animalistic and almost jumps on the counter and starts like Yeah why do we permit this? Fritz comes across the counter and grabs your your like the back of your shirt and just like headbutts you. I fully headbutt back and then like somehow turn it into this very big deep hug yeah um that comes out of nowhere. Yeah it's a lot of like grab like re-grabbing and like padding and like it's more than it needs to be. Yeah there's so many claps on the back like it's just
Starting point is 01:09:20 unnecessary. Sup man what's up dude? Hey Fritz oh man so good to see you man. Haven't fucking lost your edge I see you. What's up man? No never lose my edge never lose my edge moving on from Sigma to Alpha that's what this year's about. Now that's right you're going to some like nerd school I heard? Yeah yeah um yeah yeah uh yeah can I show you that actually? Fuck yeah dude. And and apex reaches into his bra just reaching into his shirt and he pulls out an envelope that he sets down on the the counter in front of him and in big like sharpied letters it reads MIT and he slides it over and uh if uh if Fritz reads through the letter he learns that uh apex has been given a NASA scholarship to MIT with the expressed major of rockets um and that he's been accepted
Starting point is 01:10:18 with a full ride. Where are you? Is this like is this like something that there's a lot of furries in the NASA community? There's so many stem furries actually. Seriously? Every every furry is a stem I promise you the government is run by furries. That's not even dramatic yeah. So many furries and rockets um and apex is the next in the long line of very prestigious furries. Fritz looks at you and goes fucking wolves in space dude. Yeah man wolves and stem wolves and stem that's important man. We gotta get more of us up there there is not enough representation is important and it's it's so hard oh I'm so proud dude. I knew you would get it Fritz. I knew you would get it. Yeah man. My dad was totally against it man he wants me to be a preacher
Starting point is 01:11:10 and you know how I feel about the lord he's close to my heart but he's not first he's not number one you know yeah that's uh that's belongs to BB you know oh oh it's still it's still you know it's still going yeah yeah we're good we're totally good doesn't know about this yet and he points down at the MIT envelope but you know it's don't you have to like move in soon and stuff yeah in like a week you know uh yeah I don't tell the others but like might be the end of the road for old apex moving from that sigma grind set to the alpha existence. You're excited I mean you seem happy but this is tough dude this is no new moon I am really excited I'm really happy like I like the person I'm gonna be and like I
Starting point is 01:12:12 know who I am and everything but like I don't know there's comes a time in every young wolf's existence that he realizes he's got to start his own path you know yeah yeah and I just don't know how this path is gonna take it they kind of need me you know I'm like the glue that keeps us all together I'm like the leader I'm like the one in charge I'm like the one that leads everything I see that I see that I see that all the time I just assume that that's you because yeah it's not like a lead from the back point of view so that they don't get too intimidated by what I'm trying to lay down it's like that's a big grind set like I was telling you yeah yeah that's a natural pack structure to put the leaders in the back so you can see if everyone's alive yeah Fritz I
Starting point is 01:12:55 just don't know how to I don't know how to tell her hey like it's all coming to an end she kind of lives here in a liminal space that is constructed through a time travel situation that kind of traps her in the mall for forever and so she's just kind of been regurgitating anything she can find at a Spencer's yeah like I'm not in that place you know so you gotta you gotta sit her down right you gotta sit her down you're the alpha guy she's the alpha gal and you gotta sit her down and say we are both alphas that I've got to go to space and if she doesn't fucking get with you dude she should have never been with you man you gotta let her go Fritz man you always know what to say that spaceship was really good thanks man thanks man
Starting point is 01:13:47 it's just real it's just the real shit and not everyone's ready for it and but I think you are yeah yeah so like do you want to buy something yeah you got any copies of avatar 2 way of water fucking of course dude I would just love to be one of those big blue guys this is a 90 listen you guys have said so many time sins already that I you know what a use baby a use I cannot sweet sweet knobby love yeah I got you man but actually no one else has even touched this movie I don't know what's going on but it's there all of the copies we have are still here and he checks one out for you and as he's handing me the avatar 2 way of water I hold it with one hand he holds it with another and then I take my separate hand I put it to the
Starting point is 01:14:41 back base of his neck and I pull him forward so that our foreheads touch yeah and we howl desperately at the moon and then I take my copy of avatar 2 way of water okay I will say at this point all of you hear these two howling at the counter and you all hear the adult voice of what is going on in here and you all see a short thin white man in all purple in like purple shorts and a purple shirt a collar and a bunch of patches on it and a glitter sash as well and he's walking he heard the howl but he's continuing towards the people of the hallway but he's addressing everyone what's going on in here sounds like a bunch of people being loud Theo this is like they're like they're warlord
Starting point is 01:15:42 the glitter can we take him down now do we know his name not yet do you want to ask my name I wasn't talking to you thanks but I'm sorry I'll ask your name I'm scout master pebble stances pebble excuse me pebble pebble he does look he stands does look like a bit of a pebble he's just a little tiny rock yes yes I'm here overseeing the overnight lock-in for all the glitter scale let's make sure they're safe and fit and ready for tonight's first dividers what can I do for all of you it seems like one of my little kiddos is back in the hallway I'm gonna see about them yeah they were a costing one of the employees of the mall did you know that no I did not making making fear for his life is there a patch for that
Starting point is 01:16:35 well yes but that's that's not we're not doing that tonight it's it's time for fun it's not time for for pseudo political aspirations oh that does sound fun yeah I mean is this fun include overthrowing the current coolest people in the mall I mean is this about the commerce department commerce department what is that the government thing that evans evans yeah yeah evans lovely person friend of mine actually but this isn't about them this looks like it's about something else can we ask the old where is this sevens we would like to meet him well Evan's office is right by the mall boss's office it's on the way out of the mall you can find it in the hallway interest let's go find the sentence but I'm gonna go see about my
Starting point is 01:17:34 little my little glitter scout here excuse me and um meb you can see that pebble basically takes meb and this is or not meb pebble is a little man a very little frail man but fully in both arms picks up mazy by her shoulders like rocket ships her away and meb like it's like scrambling and crawling for his life and runs out of the store and is just holding mazy I'm gonna make sure that she's all right I'll see you guys around the mall I assume you guys are gonna be here for a minute yeah we'll be around yes we must be careful of this one it is always the tiny frail ones that are the most competent generals yes why do you think you have survived this long brother under my rule your rule didn't know there was a hierarchy so what now
Starting point is 01:18:37 are we are you are we stopping the glitter shits or are we going to talk to Evan's because I we have to do this as a team I guess I don't think anything that productive is going to come out of talking to Evan's this could be when we split the party well now we want to split the party interesting fascinating I was always in favor of splitting the party I knew it oh no I oh no I'm supposed to run after her yeah I like give that look like dead yes oh dear I like tautel after okay we will actually yeah we'll do passageways and then I think we'll go on a break
Starting point is 01:19:32 but brand new something to say um I want to make sure that the girl doesn't kill the janitor okay so pebble is holding mazy just like a loft um between his hands and mazy is just like kind of in neutral mode like if you pick up a puppy by the back of their neck that's sort of like honestly that's what I would have liked to do earlier it's like kind of like pick her up by the scruff of the shirt just to keep her away from him because okay technically I'm stronger than her and she can kick all she wants and don't mean shit technically do you say while while the fritz scene is happening while this is happening do you say anything too mazy we got a lot of spank like that but use it elsewhere that's I just not really because I'm kind of just finding it funny
Starting point is 01:20:23 but okay you're not like trying to like struggle the way that kids do and you're it's funny to me I'm giggling you squeaking like a worm until pebble picks her up that's that's where you two are at um we will cut to looks like Theo's chasing after Lenore for passageways Lenore is uh just getting a quick uh like smoothie to drink she's like in line hello Lenore you looked upset and I was told that if you are upset I'm supposed to follow you oh yeah very intuitive yeah just you know thank you Theo isn't there something we need to talk about
Starting point is 01:21:14 uh well the mall is in danger but I have a plan it's not about the mall it's about us yes us uh hmm your hair looks nice today is that what you were looking for about this no you've always been really stoic but now I'm starting to realize this is like I don't know like I'm going away to college and we haven't talked about the fact that we might never see each other again and you just seem totally okay with just keep doing your thing my heart will break when you are away but it will be knit back together when you return or it might be knit back together by another in your absence who's to say I mean at first I was like oh my god she's gonna wait for me and now it's like forget it I mean
Starting point is 01:22:10 you're totally gonna sleep with someone else well technically we're all sleeping with someone else because sleeping happens at the same time oh my god you're so confusing sometimes just fine all right if you don't want to be together anymore that's fine it's like fine you're together now Lenore as the great Tupac said you've got to be able to smile through the bullshit you know how your quotes always get me so I know all right let me just order this orange Julius and I'll feel better than we can keep going on our adventure to say the mall you can you can be with me or not with me but I will carry you in my heart forever in one way or another what if I didn't go to college what if I stayed here with you and just like rejected society and
Starting point is 01:23:03 just like you know eight wild animals like you and stuff I can do that would that make you happy no I would fucking hate it well then don't do that you're only alive for a very short amount of time honestly I'm at like middle age at this point for for my my civilization so I won't live that much longer that's not true you're just like you're like 20 and I'm 18 you're not that much longer than me I am I am in fact also 18 oh well then what are you talking about I mean you're now that you're in the modern world you're gonna live a long time like you can start thinking more modern like be honestly oh interesting think more modern will I still be able to play the warriors game of rugby when I go to college yeah of course it's a modern thing yeah I just look just think about
Starting point is 01:23:56 this whole thing like I don't know if I'm into this whole like casual friends with benefits thing you know what I mean it's kind of all or nothing with me oh well do you want the all or do you want the nothing I don't know that's what I'm trying to tell you and I mean forget it forget it we'll we'll just we'll talk about more later you still seem upset I don't know if our conversation has been concluded no I don't think it has either but I want to sip on my orange julius now okay that is your choice but thanks for talking to me it does help fantastic okay let's meet up with the others I'll pat her head kiss her on the head does anyone else have a conversation they want to have during passageways where are we going next yeah where are we going that's I think
Starting point is 01:24:51 isn't armor yeah we don't we have a list of things that could point to some stores um we're also right at a good time to take a break if we want to take this time to think about where to go next yeah that'd be great in the top zone welcome back we are getting into the second half of the game we are starting off at the fourth scene it is late evening um I do want to know what the plan is for the goss before I get into it so we're I think we're going downstairs wait wait I thought gauze or did you say visit gauze oh no fair did you mean all gauze when I say gauze umbrella term every gauze if I'm talking to mall gauze I will say mall gauze right but that is fair because that's how I interpreted it yeah thank you um well we would cover more ground if we
Starting point is 01:25:46 split up we would be able to see a couple more stores so might be smarter well shall we who will go with who I would like to go to hail satin I also would like to go to hail satin obelisk hello what is it hail satin that we need candles ah why don't I take the brother yeah why don't I take the brothers and you guys go to another store see what the glitter scouts are doing and then we'll come back and reconvening trade notes apex we need to get some armor you want to go look for some armor okay yeah I'm totally down for some armor I don't naturally wear armor because my thick padded uh down fur is so powerful that it doesn't really need anything in addition to what I already have but if we need to get you kitted out of course well go ahead we could
Starting point is 01:26:46 get him some good wolf armor because we want to make sure the fur we want to keep it all clean and I like it yeah I keep it smart yeah but I don't think silky's gonna help you in a situation against glitter sprites or glitter scouts whatever the hell these kids are called so I will go with him get you out too I will go with him to get everyone armor I need sizes and preferences you know what I like you're the theater tech uh Lenore so you probably have the most experience costuming people I mean honestly yeah yeah so I think me and be will make a good partnership here to get us some armor those weird costumes you did for suzuko last year were fucking crazy man I love the part where they were really horrifying to look at that wasn't my intention but thanks
Starting point is 01:27:36 yeah there's super goth uh in the way that it made me physically uncomfortable I guess it does yeah it's just you know when you're goth it just comes out everywhere you know everything yeah okay so three and three we are splitting the party but not in straight visigoths and straight moguls we are mixing things they've never done anything straight before that why start now this is true nothing about this game is straight but uh clarify for me armor gang what store are you going to I have a couple of stores to recommend if that's helpful but if you know where you want to be second I don't think we know where we want to be yeah I'll go with your recommendations suggestions yeah yeah so there's um I think brink and mortal or brick and mortal is a hardware store but of
Starting point is 01:28:26 course there's a lot in there that could be repurposed for armor there's play gall which is the sports store and then there's the bears those are the three sort of what was the last one stores bears jewelry and accessories yes run by gay bar and gaydar yes oh god that's tempting that is on the top floor um I'm between bears and brick and mortal personally okay let's go to bears then okay fire is go to bear these are all have like sequence and stuff on it hopefully not glitter because that might be confusing but okay it might be a good disguise let me we just did our passageways so I will actually catch up with candles people first you guys are going to hail satin correct beautiful okay so hail satin is demonic bed and bath store
Starting point is 01:29:32 with black terry cloth curtains it is of course mall golf territory but now that you guys are sort of mixing together it doesn't really matter uh this is where our boy hemlock is um he is uh black black lipstick trench coat traditional cloth um he is at the counter as well hi welcome I'll uh I'll go and like put my hands out and just greet hemlock um like I normally do so good to see you yes lovely to meet you again I'm so excited that you're here uh it's kind of a scary time but that's kind of good for the both of us I think yes and no I mean are you dealing with the glitter shenanigans yes the little uh glitterati have been running around everywhere thankfully they have no interest in towels but I've seen them through the door
Starting point is 01:30:30 it's been tragic yeah actually well it's not really my bag right because I'll be gone but they do tend to sleep in here overnight because of the mattresses right so they will be in here but I won't be here for that so if we wish to lay a trap this would be the place this is the place you so can't you sell candles don't you we're looking for some candles thousands of candles what kind all of them now is this for something spicy or are we doing this is to save them all so I think spicy yes I think spicy my usual package would probably be enough like the usual ones I get every month or so let's see these spicy candles what uh what what makes them so so hot to the palette they're full of magic yes they are and what's fun is
Starting point is 01:31:33 they're actually way colder than the other candles they're made of soy and she or hemok pulls out uh belises normal order which is 20 uh actually describe what these candles look like um they're primarily like black and white candles of different heights and sizes and like lengths and stuff like that um but yeah it's a it's an excessive amount and I use them all um it is like a a brick's worth of candles that hemlock puts on the counter um these are all sort of soy candles which of course means they burn a little slower but also they could be used as lotion you know what I mean I do know what you're saying I do not know what you mean are you implying that you pour the hot candle wax onto your body that's exactly what we're saying that sounds painful you know you get you
Starting point is 01:32:29 get it I do understand no that sounds nice um I give whatever money I owe yeah yeah it's done it's fine um you uh you get the candles I'll this is um oh the last thing I was gonna say is like I heard those glitter shits are looking for candles so maybe not sell them any oh interesting do you know why they're looking for heavens heavens doesn't know why something about they want to like bring in the new like takeover the mall whatever whatever preteens think that they can do um hmm well why not encourage it which is why we are asking you to give us all of your candles for safekeeping of yes you want all of the candles to own you want to buy all these candles uh we were thinking more of just we will see here is our pitch we hold the candles for you and we protect
Starting point is 01:33:36 them we defend them from these glitter children and uh in return perhaps we could use a couple but we will keep them all safe for you okay so I can like lock the candles away oh trust me that's not going to be enough you've not seen these children they are rabid little black-hearted monsters your store your store is not safe make no mistake they will come to pillage and burn and destroy everything that you hold dear so it's best if you just hand it all over to us but how do I know I'll like get them back and stuff oh we're cool don't worry we'll give them back and look looks at bliss it's it's okay I it's it's better than you know if he'll escalate it you know um so just might be better just you know I I will make sure that nothing happens to the
Starting point is 01:34:42 candles that I didn't buy you know okay can I have you both roll 2d6 unless one of you wants to assist the other which if you have a modifier that you can add to the other person I have persuade does that give me a plus two yes oh I will need it five in total four oh wait I have persuade two um so that's a plus two um six okay Theo before we we move forward here Theo what are you doing uh Theo has pulled a very small stone out of their pocket and they are carving something and they are carving something and they uh will just walk up behind hemlock and touch it to their cheek and I want to sun them okay uh roll for it and add whatever modifier
Starting point is 01:35:55 ten oh my god okay uh hemlock is feels the cold stone on their face uh and what does the stun is it like a like a taser stun or like a frozen in time it's like a frozen in time son I don't think I'm trying to hurt them I think it's just a freeze okay okay well they're like what I don't really think that's a good and they are frozen yes their opinion does not matter right now what did you do they're fine they will be fine they are simple done for a little bit of time did you just use magic on another witch they are not a witch like me we are not the same witch no it doesn't matter it's a cult of ethics thing you don't use magic on another witch what are you doing I have cursed
Starting point is 01:36:45 so many witches in my day bliss please what is she going to do what are what what what what he he he did what what what what did they all of them okay uh whatever they sorry I got ripped up on the characters I did um um uh I'm sorry I totally derailed uh um then what are they going to do well nothing now because you've done I don't know what it's just a stun they are frozen for now in a few hours or minutes I'm not sure which they will understand everything will be fine either way we should take all the candles quickly exactly can you um can you just roll a theo can you just roll 1d6 for me
Starting point is 01:37:40 all right let's see use my skull dice I don't know how long three three okay that is that means the world that I make is going to be measured in minutes instead of hours for how long they are frozen they are frozen for the next four minutes whatever you have to do you have four minutes get the candles in the run or or we just snip all the wicks but then they can just cut like it's much better if we just take them but it takes work to get to them and then we can get to them getting to the wicks that you are planning to do please do it it's going to take too long to clip the wicks we just grab them smash and grab smash and grab fine fine fine fine fine fine fine you guys are smashing these candles are cutting the wicks off of these candles
Starting point is 01:38:33 handle destruction is my friend I want I do want a candle destruction roll from everybody destroying candles I refuse to destroy candles as in as a one your witchcraft is soft if you need candles for it is there anything like uh is there like a radiator or anything like that anything hot the candles yeah you just light all the candles on fire there is like a vent system um if you want to try and are you trying to melt them yes I'm trying to melt all of the candles okay I will say it's going to take longer than four minutes to do that but if you want to sort of set them up where they can be melting yeah there's like a there's like a radiator I have an eight beautiful I got a seven okay okay twins are going off so the twins decide to stone a man and destroy all
Starting point is 01:39:30 of his candles this is mostly successful the rest of the candles are sitting on a radiator and those just have time um hemlock is completely unaware when they come back into the timeline a good idea I maybe if there's something else that could be done sure I just I don't think that that's like I understand thank you for your time yeah why are you guys all out of breath oh I have breathing difficulties yes we're just generally very out of shape very out of practice okay well good luck with that bless I'll see you later I'll see you later hemlock I'll buy a weak little bitch wait what I kiss hemlock on the head as I walk away okay as you walk away I think
Starting point is 01:40:32 now that hemlock is not in customer service mode sees the shit y'all did and you see you hear a what unless there's anything else to do before we cut to passage it's a good thing that we are done with this mile do you know how much you know how hard it will be to find another candle distributor for me whatever you gotta find a plug you can go to the little little church boy and you can scare him into giving you candles thank you it's much more fun that way bless shoot is that should that be our passageways going there you can't I will say that was that was pretty quick if you want to I'm going to cut to the
Starting point is 01:41:21 other team and then if you want to hit up I would say we duck sense and hail satans right next to Benedict's shop we'll just like just immediately jump in there so if hemlock like runs out we're not a lot of look at the Jesus job yeah I think what happens is we're running past the window and we look and we see there's more candles in there and then we do detour okay as that happens I think um let me sorry let me get my notes together because I did not expect you to just smash and run leaning over the counter like peaking in a concerned way is benedict in st. Sebastian's catholic gifts um hey are you guys what the fuck was that they are you're so loud
Starting point is 01:42:20 um keep your voice down man how many candles do you have in this store wait what like what yes candles there's a lot of them there's one for a bunch of saints I don't know they're all the place there's like 30 I don't know okay benedict listen to me very closely you and I are friends yes you told me you told me about the john of the foreman and for that I am forever in your debt but now I must ask another favor of you my friend okay you must forfeit to us all of your candles for safekeeping lest your store be pillaged and destroyed I am just trying to protect you my friend is this this is like are we playing like pillage
Starting point is 01:43:14 is this is not a game you play it's a it's a good game I don't know if you guys have tried it are we playing pillage he like turns it to look at you benedict this is no time for games it's okay no okay okay real pillaging fine I'll go get the candles and they go bring them they just bring a small collection of what they have outside okay what the fuck here you have to pay for these oh no what do you mean no you're just like cat like bat one out of their hands no no stop breaking the candles they they're what is happening some someone explain your god cannot help you here listen listen benedict isn't it isn't it the part of of your
Starting point is 01:44:14 church's principles that you should help those in need yes well we are in need of candles okay so buy candles that's not your what your your jesus of the christ wasn't super into this whole capitalism thing so why don't you just give us the candles benedict benedict if if you don't give us the candles I'm gonna have to haunt the store again you remember last time it took months we had to bring in you had to bring in baptist and I'm I'm it's it's yeah and since then I've gotten even more powerful and do you not see the amount of candles I have in my hands okay no that's it's weirdly a lot of candles okay yeah a lot of power so I give you the I give you the candles and you leave the store alone and don't come in here demanding candles again well
Starting point is 01:45:09 we can't make those promises there won't be any candles left so that you don't have to worry about this okay but no more of this kind of pillaging they're kind anytime but no more of this I think you need a better name than pillaging thank you benedict as we're running out I grabbed one of the switchfoot cds from the counter we have I could get you never mind okay I love you over the mirror I guess I'm pillaging with my brother you must be stronger than this use a weapon next time and I like hand them a rock chisel you hand benedict a rock chisel yeah yeah I do okay all right I guess okay get out please okay I think we got I think we got the
Starting point is 01:46:07 ball I think you have successfully cleared them all out of candles we will wipe to our other team who is where did you guys say you were going we're going to bears we got to go up the stairs and stuff for the the elevator I think I have an idea guys I could if we come across another of these uh I don't know why I keep calling them sprites but you know these fucking girl scouts these glitter scouts glitter scouts um I could dress as a glitter scout and maybe try to get a little espionage a little insider information as to what they're up to oh shit yeah your little petite frame would fit in very well with a bunch of 14 year old girls I mean it's better than nothing right like do you the both of you are bigger than me I was agreeing yeah I know it didn't sound like
Starting point is 01:47:05 I was totally in favor no I was just only concerned because you're so you're not you need to have more purple we need to get you into lots of purple don't worry about it I've got plenty of stuff in my backpack no no yes I'm gonna start changing into a glitter scout to try to prove to them that I can look like a glitter scout how successful are you can you can you roll I believe you have a modifier yeah I've got a costume of three so let's see yeah see you'll play a role well oh man I rolled like shit uh a six total six total okay um describe what you do with what's what's available to you be creative and describe how you uh assimilate glitter scout culture um I think I pull out a lot of stuff in my backpack that is like you know costuming for theater and stuff and a
Starting point is 01:48:04 lot of it has glitter and sequence on it so I maybe there's like a uh a you know a necktie or something like that that has glitter on it that I wrap around like a pretend sash and I put my backpack on my head like they're don't don't glitter scouts have like hats or something like that um and uh I I do the thing where I put my shoes on my knees so I'm a lot shorter and I'm just kind of like shuffling around um and as long as they don't look behind me they won't see that I have my legs in the ground but um yeah I'm gonna try to act like a glitter scout and uh enter bears and if I see one I'll approach them incredibly shit Lenore pretty good right yeah I really just like one
Starting point is 01:48:56 I think it's the uh the knees is an interesting choice but yeah I'll let this play out this is why I got a scholarship to uh Juilliard if that's a place that you go for theater text you go to well you're going to Juilliard that's just a weird place for schooling but no shit you got into Juilliard don't yes yes I did I mean yeah yeah well no we're both we're both gonna be on the east coast how do you guys do it the two of you like this whole like you know splitting up thing like it's driving me and feel crazy what do you mean east coast and splitting up uh oh you guys haven't talked about it no we're doing fine we're doing just great we're very good with each other and it will be fine uh east coast is another part of the mall ah it's there's another place I have not
Starting point is 01:49:57 explored here yes it's like yeah I can show you the east coast of the mall it's over by lemon Theodosius you'll love it it's very far ah I look forward to the east coast I give a look to Lenore like please yeah I think like as B walks past this I'm like oh my god you haven't even I mean I guess I can't judge you because I haven't really had the conversation I tried to have the conversation with Theo but it's like talking to a rock they really not very emotional yeah yeah bb's sort of like a rock with more in the body type yeah but you're like into that kind of thing like I am I am yeah it's just I don't know I feel like I'm splitting up not just from the gods but like this place I mean we can't be in an interdimensional mall where we're trapped forever
Starting point is 01:50:50 forever right yeah surely we'll leave for college at some point yeah it's not like we could live the rest of our lives trapped here forever and never be able to leave this place no no no don't talk silly Lenore did you ever get worried that maybe we're gonna outgrow the people we love and that we may have to leave somebody behind oh my god apex you always have to say the loud part out loud or the quiet part out loud fuck I mean yes that's my whole thing look can we make a pact or something like a goth pact to like well you're gonna tell our significant others the truth and go on with our lives oh shit a goth pact are you for real yes I'm I'm invoking a goth pact Lenore you know that means a fucking

Starting point is 01:58:49 when you tell me about the old country BB it's so nice did I tell you that the Visigoths we actually were the ones that created what did you say your Olympics that would be us that created really wow that's right there's a lot more culture than I thought so everyone else tried to take an abliment on us now we were the ones who created it we created the real competition it's just originally we didn't give out medals you just died that's not true that's not true oh shit I'm gonna believe it is true guys you know I think I've been thinking about this whole thing between me and Theo and I'm worried that the reason Theo doesn't even care is because I'm not like I've changed I don't know if you guys have noticed like you know I've been going to therapy
Starting point is 01:59:31 and stuff like that like you know my parents found my slam book and I got in trouble for always bullying people so I don't know I've learned a lot of tactics to be a better person but I don't know if that's working for me maybe I need to just go back to being the same loner I was before you know just like a big bitch I like who you were you are just great you're saying I should go back to the person I was well you always were a bitch you didn't really change you say you and I after all my therapy I'm still a bitch I mean that's kind of who you are you just you just say what you like and just say it from your chest and I like if it's fair you're like a bitch with way better communication like you got more tools to be a bitch which I think just makes you better and you
Starting point is 02:00:17 don't bitch too weak links that's just a being a bitch if you're going to be a bitch be a bitch to a bitch does that make sense alphas fight alphas you don't fight bates that's just bb shit alphas fight alphas that's what you need lino like consider this man if if you got to come down the O's level then you're going backwards now forwards and that's how you get stuck in the mall so I got to be an alpha bitch alpha bitch that's my bitch all right yeah like that's enough of that and they bring the strip of leather you ask for ah yes okay that's that's it right you guys are good because you've been hold on wow hold on what where's gay dark he's in the back you want to go get him bring him out
Starting point is 02:01:11 I want to meet him oh my god okay gay war comes back goes in the back gay dark comes out what's happening hi what can I do for any of you that have been so loud I just want to know what you were like before I left zikia's game it's our first time in here good to meet you gay dark thanks that's it you just want to see my face that's it just want to know what you sounded like are they both like bears or are they both uh they're both bears they are I'm gonna go shake their hand I was like I heard a lot about you and I just wanted to meet the the bear well wonderful to meet you I'm I'm usually just doing inventory but I'm here this that's it I'm gonna go back to work then hey um before you go gay dark gay bar uh you guys are together right or is that really presumptuous
Starting point is 02:02:02 just based on their names no no it's bear for bear over here okay good that's what I thought and do we children as bears by the way what the fuck did you just ask me well like that that bears they kill and eat people in the woods like you heard her question answer her question we don't eat children okay sick sick I I got a little follow-up what's this secret gay dark gay bar uh of like just keeping a relationship together because obviously Lenore and Theo are having a lot of problems yeah and they're the only ones that are having problems and no one else in this little group is having a relationship problem please solve our you could solve our relationships magical gay people please yes they need Lenore needs a lot to help sometimes a wolf needs to hear from their
Starting point is 02:02:51 bears you see you see gay dark just sort of like lean on to gay bar um and they sort of look at each other like oh I understand um and gay dark goes the key is being almost aggressively honest with one another while being soft like sometimes um gay bar thank you gay bar will just be upset right and we have it as an agreement between the two of us where if he's upset he could just pick me up and sort of just John Cena neon at the ground and I find it incredibly exciting um and then that's how we know to sort of have discussions but it's about being honest and knowing what works for each other like you're a dog right so with wolf I'm sorry I'm sorry baby you're a wolf right so if there's a problem with the pack then it should usually be discussed as a pack yeah I get that John Cena bit
Starting point is 02:03:59 I get the pack bit but like what did you do when gaydar went off to MIT without you um is that a euphemism for something no it's just what did you guys do please answer that directly uh well I won't speak to that because that never happened but there was one time where gaydar had to go to a so gaydar was really into like mushrooms and they went to like a mycology conference for a minute and that was really hard would you refer to the mycology conferences maybe like MIT so I could follow okay so they had to go to MIT and that was really hard for us but then we just sort of FaceTimed while they were there and we were honest about it and and you guys are all adults right sort of yeah pretty much okay well sometimes when you get a
Starting point is 02:04:57 little sad and being alone you just gotta go outside and fuck somebody and we just sort of let ourselves do that oh okay that sounds actually very good I was sorry I wasn't really paying attention I was taking notes by my hand you said aggressively blank and then soft what was that again honest honest thank you you want to be honest you know if you if you don't think that you can just sort of keep it together while the other person's away 100% just sort of let off steam somewhere else and come back together damn as long as everyone knows what's going on these are really rubbing again I'm I'm starting to realize all these kinds of conservative values I have about relationships so how this is like this conversation is affecting me oh yeah these really these bears really shook
Starting point is 02:05:48 up my worldview yeah well thanks gay darn bar yeah for sure they both say at the exact same time yeah and so this so I want to say this name correctly John Cena is is he a warrior he he's a warrior as well I've heard that before oh he's the greatest warrior there's ever been where could I find him he's very hard to see so I'm not sure we'll show you the show on television surprised apex hasn't shown you yet actually I was really worried she'd break my back yeah those suplexes look like they hurt oh yes if there's a John Cena show I would love to see yeah okay we can show you baby oh great dude we is there anything else I can do for you no you already sort of taught us the secret to love yeah we're good
Starting point is 02:06:55 happy to help do you transform into bears at all during like full moon no get out of my store please that's please leave thank you oh my god apex now like you have to talk to be about this you know I mean because the gays told us to oh man you're right oh we both got to like make forward progress in our relationships before we lose them all oh I mean I know I don't like the thought of Theo just like boinking somebody else so I don't know I'm I think I'm leaning towards like the whole breakup thing oh Lenore I think you might be right I think it might be healthy for you you're going in like a whole different physical direction and like Theo's not really a theatrical person not at all you need to find you Jonathan Graw first love hurts yeah what are you guys gonna
Starting point is 02:07:49 think we're what are you gonna do I think I gotta tell baby and hope to god that she's with me and tell me what oh wait wait because I was like did you guys were like sitting right in front of me or did you guys walk ahead of me I love that we're just sitting right in front of you and it's like because I blend into the wall yeah I was so still you didn't see me oh shit um I'll let you guys have a moment tell me what baby I want you to know we show we're good for poor and then my leg starts kicking listen yeah baby that feels really good but I gotta talk to you about something something for real I got this letter and I know sometimes you have trouble reading so I'll read it out to you
Starting point is 02:08:53 and he takes out the envelope from his bra and he begins reading the MIT acceptance letter and basically what this all means is that like the space people you know stars yes stars want me baby and they're not going to take no for an answer is this like uh that movie you showed me with the like aliens right that's what you mean by stars right yeah what's the corny weaver that's it exactly like that movie so you're going you're going up is that I'm confused for four years to MIT in space baby this might mean a lot for us I want you to know I've so enjoyed every year that I've been at the end of your leash and when you callered me in front of my father and it made him stop talking to
Starting point is 02:09:59 me for quite a long time wait it changed my life wait why are you sounding like this okay so you go to new oh I'm still sorry Amira it's okay she's accidentally smacked your cat it's my sister's cat I didn't smack her I with yeah I'm so sorry hold for cat um she's been with me well this way um so you're just gonna go to like okay you go conquer and you I don't get it what's is the problem this is a good academy right this is you go to space you go to space to stare right what's your answer apex listen listen uh there's this thing about the mall where like you're gonna be stuck here forever and like this is the only place that you exist within liminal space and um you can never leave here because you're like you're 2000 years dead
Starting point is 02:11:08 and stuck here you know so it it might be a little complicated when I go to space we're not gonna see each other for a long time so did you just planning wait to go not you don't want me to go with you or thought of it wow you want to come to space MIT with me I thought that's what you were kind of asking but it sounds like you're not and I'm kind of now wait because I thought that's what you meant by aliens you were bringing up aliens because we liked aliens you know you wanted me to go with you but I know how much you love that scene when the chest hugger escapes that man's chest and kills everyone in the room it was the cutest thing ever it was
Starting point is 02:12:01 just so just a door that's yeah I've always wanted to be your chest hugger but I don't know if you can come with me I don't know if we can escape this mall it's sort of the whole conceit of the game is that we're stuck here I'll tell you this if you just broke up with me to be alone in a mall forever that's a big mistake on your part but if we can leave this mall did you ask what I wanted to do or did you just again like everybody else just assume that I have just gone off the rails and not do anything and it's like oh friend Hilda you no longer visit goth because you're just wearing I like colors and all this and I guess that doesn't mean you I you know I try to be like you know live in my environment but you just leave okay that's fine shit BB you're right I haven't taken any of
Starting point is 02:12:55 your emotions or feelings into consideration in this decision I just assumed that all of this was for me there's wrong I have the hiccups I'm sorry BB you just have I just feel very well you didn't even ask me what I thought what if we could make this right what if I could ask you now well you and he he kind of moves in and if she allows he kind of nuzzles up against your neck and starts purring gently like this cat is purring thank you listen BB I haven't asked before but um what do you want to do I
Starting point is 02:13:50 I brain health and there's a goth of the giants yes I wanted to be a stuntwoman I wanted to go to the gladiators of America and destroy all of the supposed champions that's what I wanted I wanted to go rain terra and bring you along but that's that but if we can do that in space that means we could take over the world and
Starting point is 02:14:27 beyond but if you don't want that then fine honestly this is coming from left field I never once thought you were going to name drop American gladiators but I'm so fucking here for it well what else was I like you were showing me everything I saw the I saw the star wars I saw the twilight I saw the the buffy of the vampire slayers uh friends I have how you doing I'm doing good I was Joey don't share food so we don't share food Joey don't share food and bril hindak does not share apex and apex doesn't share brunette on he's a good boy I'm gonna pick him up by the way and he's if you can wrap his legs I'm gonna hold like hold ice fully straddle around brunhilde and while this while this war crime is happening
Starting point is 02:15:23 I'm gonna check in with you that was incredible thank you both so much but I'm gonna check in we're gonna take that as your passageways because I think that happened outside of the store um my other team is there anything you would like to accomplish in a passageway see yes probably yeah okay I was gonna say you can give me a second uh I have the same way to predict see um you can all have witnessed that because that happened outside of a store if you would like to catch up I want to see maybe we're on the are we heading back up to meet everybody um because I I want to say we saw this as we were going up the escalator I feel like we have like one more scene that we could all do in different stores before we all get together for the final
Starting point is 02:16:14 scene okay maybe you can do one more okay we're still on the bottom floor for right now maybe we can just like look up and that's just happening because it's just it got really loud um just loud sobs from apex draw our eyes yeah yeah it's really nice that uh I'm like standing next to Theo it's really nice that uh apex and b have such a good relationship after all these years yes that is true love and you and uh Lenore so lucky Lenore she she has the heart of a bard yes yes that is the theater yes that is that and you are not the heart of the bard all right well you say so you're saying you don't dance
Starting point is 02:17:10 I do not dance no no no no I dance on the battlefield you can dance if you want to you can leave your friends behind hmm well Lenore likes to dance yes I've tried to dance for Lenore uh but you know it it it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none I never know what that means when you say that but okay um well the snoop dog is a wise poet I'm sure he is um also has glorious hair glorious hair and a team for whom he speaks so I don't know I feel like Lenore does not speak for any team
Starting point is 02:18:01 maybe maybe my heart will find her in the future but I do not think her heart is mine now her heart is for the world you can't be with the world with Lenore you're just going to spend your life in a mall the world that's a lot for Theo Theo Dananda eat a little bit smaller you're saying Theo Dananda the person that freezes people with stones in shed can't go outside Theo Dananda has never tried to deck this close yes sister have you tried to go outside no should we try it right now hmm I'm not saying that's something that we need to to check off the box this instance but you
Starting point is 02:18:57 know there's a big flashing exit sign right there what I'm saying is that Lenore is prepared to go out the door and is willing to be fearless about it while they're talking I'm walking towards the door but you know you could do it too well my my battle is on the field of rugby the field of rugby yes like playing rugby or like I do not know the rules I just saw someone from a college and they said you are strong you are violent but rugby is played outside see this is the drama I don't know it sounds like you're making excuses and you're making Lenore really sad about it and it just kind of brings the vibe down and I've been trying to have a good
Starting point is 02:19:54 summer you know I've been sorry I'm just gonna kind of like break off from this nice tone of it I'm just trying I appreciate your kindness but truly I like the blunt speaking but fine okay but you're fucking up your relationship with Lenore and if you want to keep that relationship with Lenore and stop making Lenore look so sad and blue all the time because it's really a drag and I have to go look for apex for entertainment and tell me let me tell you it is not as fun as you think it is so if you really want you know the focus I'll see her in the next life kind of she's here now so either break it off and let's get this band-aid over with or go out the door with her and go do rugby because rugby is a college thing and you know you both could do that
Starting point is 02:20:44 you see what I'm saying do they have rugby at Julie's yard I don't know honestly but you can figure it out right I have been lying to Lenore oh I have told her my heart is hers but it is not and I do not know how to what is the word break this up yeah yeah it's obvious you don't know how to do that I would just say be honest like be a friend tell her that I do not love her that my heart is not hers I feel you know poets have much eloquent ways of presenting arguments to people
Starting point is 02:21:45 I would suggest consulting the poets on this and maybe find something that makes it a little bit more edible than my heart is no longer yours or I don't love you know because that just that comes with feelings you could also simply murder her my hands on the door there is that I would not hurt her feelings if I destroyed her body I will destroy you if you hurt Lenore if anyone's going to destroy Lenore it would be me so yeah no um so yeah just um I don't know what you have to do but do it and do it quickly because you know summer's running out you know I'm doing this because I want to not because you're telling me to let's say that if it gets the job done I'm going to go consult the poets be careful pushing the door open
Starting point is 02:22:44 does anything happen if you oh you're at the you're at the exit yeah like cobwebs on the door I'm just pushing the door open excellent I should have known that this would come and I should have known that it would come you are at the exit of the mall it is a set of like three double doors traditional like glass wall you can see the outside there is mountains there's street there's cars there's stop lights there's homes you push the door open and you feel the wind the hot summer air you walk outside do you walk outside I'm not walking outside yet but my hand is like out me like you know I pushed the door open and I may be like like from the elbow down my hand is outside you can feel it's hot it's late August it's it's later it's kind of night
Starting point is 02:23:44 but it's still hot that's it it seems fine I don't see why we couldn't just walk out there look my hand is still here it's my hand is still here right yes your hand is still here you can see people parking and walking into everything is fine look the sun is shining bright it is a beautiful day do you do you leave them all not yet I feel like I feel like that it is it is still early and that would be potentially a day yeah okay okay follow your heart follow your heart whenever you want to exit the mall you have every right to do so but if you don't we will go to scene five
Starting point is 02:24:41 um we sounds like we're gonna split the party again where are we looking it does look like we crossed out we did absolutely cross out candles from the list we should go to games we should go to number six the uh the dark aid okay yeah that's left all and um what can what store do you guys want to go to for games you said dark aid okay sweet is that everybody or are we splitting um well is there other places that we have to go food you know food so I will say you did see um uh floppy joe and feta are both working on food so if you want to go back to those places you can but you have already seen like if you're if information gathering is the priority you've seen what's going on here I'm still dressed like a
Starting point is 02:25:41 girl's glitter scout I need to hand out this stupid armor then I guess we all meet up then right or play golf for games too could go to play golf for games we need to know what these little fuckers are doing before our last scene so yeah I think being all together is is better that's fine I think what we do is we follow whatever trail of glitter we find to the closest glitter yeah let's do what we're selling oh my god this is like this is like that time and we were finding the scent remember we got led outside to the horseshit we're just talking about it with apex what good times that was you guys remember we stole those ponies and my dad just owned me that was great you do not need to follow you only need the wolf pack and you have one yeah
Starting point is 02:26:42 let's do a last thing we do in passageways let's do a team glitter check I need everybody to roll 2d6 and add whatever modifiers you think are relevant but feel free to explain them if I use haunt can I contact the spirits to find me a glitter scout yes you can or I'll put a pin in that but yes you can apex uses his rockets to wire into the surveillance system of the mall and use hack electronics nice to try and find some glitter scouts that's a nine for me okay Theo elevates once again to look down on them I know what they look like I'm going to use costumes to try and find them oh I'm sorry 11 because I have a five a four plus two yeah 11 I have an 11 as well I haven't eaten 11 I have a nine I rolled a four four what would you say
Starting point is 02:27:41 five excellent okay um if your combined roll can meet the mall then I will say that you have what it takes to get to I'm just going to use a calculator because my brain there oh is that a quick question yes so I can control animals and it says I cannot control humans in fursuits but since these are little like demon kids are they considered animals very very good question um I will say as of now as you understand it children are not animals got it but I'm not going to shoot that down got it I don't think so at all that's not a no it's not a no is not a no but um you guys did absolutely beat them all um you can see a clear trail of glitter heading towards the dark aid

Starting point is 02:29:42 in this arcade um and you also see a woman in the in the back sort of against the wall just surveying all of this and she looks very well off she looks put together she doesn't look scared um but these sort of separate things are all happening at once what do you guys do first god they've already started the ritual we must stop them well they don't have any candles that's for them sure they got taco what do we do what do we do uh that one in the back that one i'm going for that one okay i'm gonna like not like be i'm just gonna like work my way through the arcade okay be your be letting for the woman in the back anyone else going with you well apex is still straveling be he has not stopped this whole way through ah yes i must drop you sorry good

Starting point is 02:35:10 pupils are also equally blown out and they are equally fucked up looking they're like sweating in this dark aid um they're also like hunched over like a pinball machine that is clearly like from a time that this is their their mall goff era activity um and they're like it's it's almost time there is a table of like chili and cheese in the corner and this woman again is still unbothered um they um mazy looks up at you and says do you know what to do do you know what the plan is no tell me what the plan is okay so we wait till midnight right have you been eating candy you've been getting strong right yeah i'm all popped up good get fucking stronger right once it's midnight we're gonna find the air conditioner and we're gonna break it
Starting point is 02:36:02 and they fucking maniacally laugh you know like this is probably the scariest thing you've ever heard you've heard like layered special effects on people like doing vl before this is way worse okay so um sounds great um quick question for you though as a newbie why break the ac because wouldn't that close the mall and don't we want to be the new heads of the mall but it's gonna close the mall everyone's gonna leave right by the time the mall reopens no one even knows what the mall is anymore and it's our time we'll get in and we'll take it over make it worse these stupid goths will be gone by then school starting we can do whatever we want guess what i'm a bitch goth i'm just gonna punch the kid in the face oh my god we're all gonna put content warning on it
Starting point is 02:36:58 i might get an automatic hurt feeling i think what i engage in physical combat yes yes uh fighting does automatically mean a hurt feeling for you and a hurt feeling for mazy i yeah i'm i'm just like pushing her getting up off of my knees and running like a normal person back to uh blitz to tell her what i've discovered i oh blitz is watching this well they're gonna destroy the ac good well now we know and really linoar punching a child i got swept up in the moment go find the rest of them mazy's like covering her nose and is looking to her distracted uh glitter scouts and she goes while this was happening i was doing something invisibly can i see if it happened absolutely
Starting point is 02:37:51 let's go what were you doing i since he was putting up the sign and doing his whole thing i was hoping to um invisibly invisibly grab the pot of chili and dump it behind him so that he falls when he tries to get away when pebbles tries to get away yeah brilliant um honestly my boy is not at the top of this game go ahead and roll for me ten perfect he rolled a six so uh you fully spill this vat of chili onto the floor of the arcade um and when mazy says seize him pebble goes oh my god and immediately banana peels slapstick comedy slips and it's like the people that slip and they fight for their lives on the way down instead of just giving up this man almost pulls a muscle in his back
Starting point is 02:38:48 trying to fall can i can i take the spears of britney and just kind of just do a little like leg flip to make sure he goes down yeah yeah you you trip his ankle that's it he hits the chili with a depressing slap that carpet should not make and we're going to cut to those of you that were approaching the women the woman in the back of the room she's up against the wall yo what are you doing here this is this is my mall what do you mean what's your what is your name i have a lot of names that's not really important uh but i'm i am the mall boss i suppose this is what people call me here what are your names well that is not important since you won't give me yours i won't give you mine what should i call him i'm apex bone now excellent thank you apex
Starting point is 02:39:49 you may call me britney okay and my name and i expect you to call me this in full is to take this close say that back to me through dex is close it's not that hard is your last name bitch or was that for me it is to you bitch oh bitch was for me okay that's fine well i said yes to both but yes okay well miss bitch uh through dex is close and apex what can i do for you but you don't look like glitter scouts neither do you you do not look like a glitter scout you look like a creeper in the corner that's why i'm asking who the fuck are you i'm not i'm in charge of the mall this is all mine everything you see is mine everything the glitter touches exactly i'm just here to make sure that no one gets hurt too badly you're telling
Starting point is 02:40:50 me and then she looks you're telling me that you're mrs moll yes yes that's me and she gestures to herself she's very much giving miss frissel she has like freckles and like very extravagant sort of twie era fashion do they have anything on themselves like i don't know bag or anything that they have like a like a gucci bag um but what are you what are you looking see if they got weapons that's the only way oh yeah there's a it's a larger bag like it's not like a purse this is a day back oh so that's a weapon uh reasonably inferable there's a weapon name at least two stores if you're in charge of this place okay with the dark aid and sebastian's catholic gifts i could name all the stores okay now what do you say on what do you
Starting point is 02:41:45 mean by own it belongs to me you have the title the deed what lord or baron assigned you this land and prove it because i don't see it i could say it on the mall i don't believe that she snaps her fingers and a scroll rolls appears out of thin air and unfurls in her hands that is a full like illuminated manuscript deed well that looks great the official shit bb you remember i told you about that clinton administration i think that's this because they unravel the scroll what's the name on there that i see the name literally just says the mall boss bitch all right so this is boss you're looking around did you like you're okay with all of the you're okay with all of these people messing up your mall you're just
Starting point is 02:42:47 fine with that yes like i said i've been here since the mall first opened this is not the first time a bunch of small color coordinated demons destroy the mall it opens up again and it's fine it's a circle of life wow it's like the matrix are you're just under well what happens to us if once this mall gets destroyed and closed exactly i don't i don't know i assume you guys are the goths right yeah there's the two opposing okay so you're the two opposing forces that keep them all together eventually more of you will come so we're not it you think you're the last ones to be in the mall yeah sorry mall not oh i'm so sorry uh not unless someone destroys the mall but if it lives on there will be more goths there will always be more goths
Starting point is 02:43:48 but not like us well not exactly but close enough yeah listen it's nothing to be sad about it's just natural you can always come back it's just it's time for a new generation i i think i literally can't leave this area too much oh did you try to leave did any of you try to leave i put my hand out of the door and look at me i'm fine so you'll forgive me if i'm a little skeptical of your whole shtick did you walk outside no but look my arm is still here yes you were in the mall your soul was in the mall i'm gonna go ahead and walk out i'm gonna like stare for a second and not move and i'm gonna go ahead and just go and start walking out towards the exit where where's where's she going i want to say something baby what are you thinking i'm gonna say something what if you like straight
Starting point is 02:44:53 up die like instantly fucking die what does lady tell you curious and uh i'm gonna go ahead towards the exit she's the boss what she said what happens if b walks out that door i don't know i think we all like poke our heads out the store to see what happens i'm gonna go ahead and go i'm gonna go ahead and i will see because uh you walk out the ball because i'd be like well i want to go to these coasts i have to go with that so i have to leave anyone can leave them all whenever they'd like is that what you're doing can i come back in if you come back you won't be the same as when you left ah well you can leave you'll come back you'll see your friends again but you will be changed
Starting point is 02:45:58 i do want to say i am still kangaroo pouched on my woman so both of you are leaving if bb decides to go then that's when we go we gotta go to space i won't go until you want to go well we don't have to go now we can go later i think if we're not the only ones if we're not the only goths and we got to do what we got to do for our goth time in our garth world so we got to stop these stupid little fucking 12 year olds we got to kill every last one of them are we doing our own final night final night final night final final village burn the place to the ground burn it on the ground okay let's go back in let's go kill let's go defeat the children and then we can go leave ragnarok sorry i just want to clarify one of them
Starting point is 02:47:08 b did you clap your hands and yell final night no yes you did i just want to make sure you're standing by your behavior yes i am is that what you did excellent i forgot is that a thing that we do here and i realize it is it's about to be a thing um so you did i'm so sorry guys the mall i love it this is the mall as we've known what a beautiful place we're in right now the mall as we've known is been filled with mall goths and physics goths like you say final night theo says pillage and you you feel like a telepathic connection of every vizagoth in the mall going pillage pillage pillage do you approve do you say pillage back pillage oh my god dang i'm still a vizagoth dang you smell fire
Starting point is 02:48:21 almost immediately oh no almost immediately you smell fire you hear things being thrown around as people are closing it is the last like 10 minutes of people's shifts it is natural to burn down the store that you're in at the end of a retail shift people have to actively resist this but you have given them permission with your pillage command and they are burning down the mall yes the mall glitters guys i don't think the ac is gonna stand up to this this is our this is really it now what is everyone else doing the mall the mall boss just looks around and says this could have happened at any time yeah honestly yeah i think i'm sitting with my goth friends um my mall goth friends that um just kind of like you know they've they've told me what they learned from
Starting point is 02:49:15 the mall boss and i'm just like i don't know i guess maybe we just hang out and drink an orange julius until this all blows over yeah yeah i i think i spend a lot of time near bliss and uh lenore but i do think apex is trying to bite every nearest 12-year-old as often as he possibly can you know i'll probably try to sling a glitter bomb at one or two yeah we're just but we're not we're not putting any real effort to it we're just like we're drinking like halfway through the killings mayday role play does not endorse the does not endorse the murder of children i'm just like glitter bombing of them children are not being children are still alive they're being incensed by glitter or
Starting point is 02:50:03 potentially knocked out by abiding the shit out of them i'm doing like harley quinn birds of play just like throwing glitter and just slow-mo hitting them and it's like exploding as as we approach midnight our goths and visigoths are walking and enjoying smoothies as the mall burns down around them and several feral 10 to 12-year-olds clad only in purple and glitter are feeding off of this energy they are screaming shrieking throwing things having a blast and the mall boss is just standing next to you all completely content wow that's i didn't expect it from all of you but i'm so glad that it was all of you i guess we figured if we can't beat him join him and just enjoy her last night you know yes you said it yourself exactly it was over so you must
Starting point is 02:51:03 leave for the people who come after yeah final night we all gotta grow up sometime in our thousand year existence in the interdimensional liminal space that is the mall exactly i'm so glad you get it shall we all go one last time and that will put us in passageways oh before our final seas are they are they gesturing to the exit door they they do start to walk towards the exit no it is the opposite side of the mall you're gonna have to walk through the carnage that you have initiated but it's safe Theo is actively throwing children and casting levitate on them and throwing casting levitate on them hit Theo can i talk to you real quick while you're doing that yes of course
Starting point is 02:51:57 you can keep going you know i just want to say that you know i've it's been really nice last couple years with you but i don't know i'm just not getting the feeling that you really want to keep this going so i'm just gonna go off to school and we can be friends and it's really not that big of a deal you know yeah that is okay i was not expecting to be with you for the rest of my life if i'm being honest oh and i i totally wasn't expecting to be with you for the rest of my life at all yeah totally um all right cool as the poets say moving on is easy but what you leave behind is what makes it hard from the taiga i knew that of course yeah all right cool yes all right well cool being in a
Starting point is 02:52:49 relationship with you let's make out carnage one last time oh yeah sure of course yeah right we hardcore make out on the way as the fire is coming down slow mo i pull away every now that uh little children floating around us beautiful i want to check in with um i imagine apex is still on b yeah yeah still you could be chasing the kids or i haven't yeah we we've just been killing i mean beating up 12 year olds this whole time okay i kind of just been throwing a lot of glitter bombs it's just really pretty with the fire and all that so that's where it's like okay i i do think apex is gonna first check in with the other goths he's gonna go to blitz and lanor once we we get some time away he rushes up and he's he's just he's got a two 12 year olds in each hand uh and as he
Starting point is 02:53:42 comes up to him he just fuck it up from all gets up close to the two of you he's deep and heavy breaths guys holy shit this is great right we always know how to make it go out with the bank yeah he's a good style yeah listen i just wanted to tell you both that like for a while there it really mattered to me that i was number nine out of a three person group you worked hard you worked hard to where you got you know yeah i was thinking earlier today it kind of sucks i never got to number two but like i realized i don't really care i like being the third of us i like being with all of us i love both of you and i know that our time and whatever the fuck this was is coming to an end but i don't think i would have spent it with any better people than i would with you two
Starting point is 02:54:44 i look at uh blitz and i look at apex i'm like look if it's any constellation you're always the number one number three person in my heart same that means so much to me i don't really understand it but it means so much hey you know i'm also going to be on the east coast too so we could totally hang out yeah you two should totally come up to our space station it has a mall in it blitz you could ride your your broom it just i'm going to the east coast too so yes we're gonna see each other we're just not gonna see each other as often yeah i just i'm gonna miss you constantly put me down and hurt myself esteem and make me think differently about myself in the mirror well this is facetime exists and i can always call you if you need the occasional

Starting point is 02:57:45 that they're automatic doors so they sense the warm body coming to towards the door the door opens and as soon as their body leaves the building they sort of um turn to dust like uh like the snap and they're gone and we'll say for everyone's hearts that it is not deaf that it is not painful but they are gone it kind of just seems like they sort of teleported somewhere else whoa um at that the mom boss says oh no um they were not supposed to be the first ones through the door we were sort of um i'm gonna start it again and it's gonna be right i don't know where they went but we won't it won't be that i thought we were gonna go through first yes like that matters becomes obsessed and starts throwing more excuse me but what why what whoa whoa
