- Hello, one and all!

13
00:00:30,423 --> 00:00:31,309
Welcome back to another thrilling episode

14
00:00:31,309 --> 00:00:33,267
of "Dimension 20: Gladlands."

15
00:00:33,267 --> 00:00:34,671
I'm your humble GM, Brennan Lee Mulligan.

16
00:00:34,671 --> 00:00:36,851
With me, as always, are
our dusty do-gooders.

17
00:00:36,851 --> 00:00:38,399
Say hi, Dusty Do-Gooders!

18
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,225
- Hi.
(Zac coughs dryly)

19
00:00:40,225 --> 00:00:41,815
- Nat one.
- [Vic] Hi, Dusty Do-Gooders.

20
00:00:41,815 --> 00:00:43,475
- You got a one.
- [Ally] Nat one.

21
00:00:43,475 --> 00:00:45,939
- A bouquet of teeth. Beautiful.

22
00:00:45,939 --> 00:00:49,051
Last we left off, the Carer Van

23
00:00:49,051 --> 00:00:51,587
had arrived at the History Heap

24
00:00:51,587 --> 00:00:52,420
(Vic groans)

25
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:56,024
to find Aunt Freaky, Hugi's beloved aunt

26
00:00:56,024 --> 00:00:58,578
and the mother of long-lost Muni.

27
00:00:58,578 --> 00:00:59,982
- "Beloved."

28
00:00:59,982 --> 00:01:01,656
- [Brennan] Beloved and long-lost Muni.

29
00:01:01,656 --> 00:01:02,823
- "Beloved."

30
00:01:02,823 --> 00:01:04,334
I thought she was gonna be a lot funner

31
00:01:04,334 --> 00:01:05,167
with that name, honestly.

32
00:01:05,167 --> 00:01:06,000
- [Oscar] Mm-hmm.
- With Aunt Freaky?

33
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,833
- [Ally] Let's be real.

34
00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:07,733
- "Beloved."

35
00:01:07,733 --> 00:01:09,202
- [Brennan] Sometimes,
it's important to go back

36
00:01:09,202 --> 00:01:11,964
to the original concept,
you know what I mean?

37
00:01:11,964 --> 00:01:14,690
Where it's like, freaky
doesn't just mean sexually fun.

38
00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:15,523
- You're right.

39
00:01:15,523 --> 00:01:16,697
- Freaky can also mean, I'm alarmed.

40
00:01:16,697 --> 00:01:17,530
- [Ally] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Right?

41
00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:18,932
- And it's French so
it's spelled different.

42
00:01:18,932 --> 00:01:19,765
- Freaky!

43
00:01:19,765 --> 00:01:20,739
- [Ally] With a Q?
- Freaque. (laughs)

44
00:01:20,739 --> 00:01:21,738
- Freaky.

45
00:01:21,738 --> 00:01:23,038
- Aunt is French as well?

46
00:01:23,038 --> 00:01:24,597
- Yeah. (laughs)

47
00:01:24,597 --> 00:01:25,686
- Freaque.
- Freaky!

48
00:01:25,686 --> 00:01:26,519
- Yeah, what's French for aunt?

49
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:27,352
- [Zac] Freaque.
- I never took French.

50
00:01:27,352 --> 00:01:29,370
- It's actually based on the name-

51
00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:31,488
the name Freaky's based
off the name Freki,

52
00:01:31,488 --> 00:01:33,664
which is one of Odin's wolves.

53
00:01:33,664 --> 00:01:34,497
- Is that true?

54
00:01:34,497 --> 00:01:35,547
- [Brennan] That's true.
- Come on, huge.

55
00:01:35,547 --> 00:01:36,798
- Are you pretending?

56
00:01:36,798 --> 00:01:39,217
- [Vic] Huh? (laughs)

57
00:01:39,217 --> 00:01:42,304
- Are you- (laughing)
(Brennan laughs)

58
00:01:42,304 --> 00:01:43,137
- Don't listen.

59
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:44,313
- [Brennan] Don't listen, don't listen.

60
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:45,197
- That was private.

61
00:01:45,197 --> 00:01:46,155
- That was a private comment.
- [Brennan] Don't listen.

62
00:01:46,155 --> 00:01:46,988
- That was private for them.

63
00:01:46,988 --> 00:01:48,212
- I just so don't know who that is-

64
00:01:48,212 --> 00:01:49,487
(players chattering)

65
00:01:49,487 --> 00:01:50,320
- But this is absolutely not for you.

66
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,338
- Wait, who's Odin?

67
00:01:51,338 --> 00:01:53,031
- [Oscar] With one eye?
- [Kimia] The one-eyed god.

68
00:01:53,031 --> 00:01:54,153
- [Oscar] Is that true?

69
00:01:54,153 --> 00:01:54,986
- [Ally] I appreciate the translation.

70
00:01:54,986 --> 00:01:56,097
- Jacob.
- Who's Odin?

71
00:01:56,097 --> 00:01:59,875
- [Brennan] Who's Odin? (laughing)

72
00:01:59,875 --> 00:02:02,298
This temptress behavior.
- [Ally] Who's Odin?

73
00:02:02,298 --> 00:02:03,131
(Jacob cackling)

74
00:02:03,131 --> 00:02:04,773
- This is like the kid who wants us

75
00:02:04,773 --> 00:02:07,663
to not get to turning in our homework.

76
00:02:07,663 --> 00:02:09,264
(Jacob laughing)
- [Brennan] I also...

77
00:02:09,264 --> 00:02:10,555
- No, keep going on that.

78
00:02:10,555 --> 00:02:12,399
- For me, how I experienced that was like

79
00:02:12,399 --> 00:02:14,342
if I was supposed to do, like,

80
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:17,252
nine straight days of
meditation to be like,

81
00:02:17,252 --> 00:02:18,321
"The world is depending on it.

82
00:02:18,321 --> 00:02:19,755
As long as I stay here..."

83
00:02:19,755 --> 00:02:21,461
My demon would be like,

84
00:02:21,461 --> 00:02:24,903
"There's some people next door
who don't know who Odin is."

85
00:02:24,903 --> 00:02:26,768
(cast laughing)

86
00:02:26,768 --> 00:02:28,730
- You just start sweating.
- [Oscar] Yeah.

87
00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:29,825
- They're actually really relaxed

88
00:02:29,825 --> 00:02:31,453
and have open ears right now.

89
00:02:31,453 --> 00:02:33,276
(Brennan laughing)

90
00:02:33,276 --> 00:02:35,760
- Last we left off-
(players laughing)

91
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,593
- That's what that deserved.

92
00:02:36,593 --> 00:02:37,426
- [Brennan] We arrived
at the History Heap.

93
00:02:37,426 --> 00:02:38,259
- Moving past it.

94
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:41,421
- Hugi ran into her old
friend, Void Warranty,

95
00:02:41,421 --> 00:02:43,068
who had recently been
relieved of their duties

96
00:02:43,068 --> 00:02:47,988
as the head History Heaper
of the non book library,

97
00:02:47,988 --> 00:02:50,804
believing instead in the
existence of laser books,

98
00:02:50,804 --> 00:02:53,039
that these would be able to have writing

99
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:56,230
hidden in the iridescent
side of these disks,

100
00:02:56,230 --> 00:03:00,960
sought after by Connor
Kawasaki and Quinn Wedbush,

101
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,777
who have now tracked Hugi
down to this area perceiving

102
00:03:04,777 --> 00:03:08,968
that, I believe, Hugi only
has two remaining dice left

103
00:03:08,968 --> 00:03:12,080
above a d4 as the burnout increases.

104
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,913
Herbie, Poppy Persona out of drag,

105
00:03:15,792 --> 00:03:18,572
Herbie Miggs in the History Heap robes,

106
00:03:18,572 --> 00:03:22,293
tracking down, with Parcel,
to Aunt Freaky trying to talk

107
00:03:22,293 --> 00:03:24,623
about different missions
of the History Heap.

108
00:03:24,623 --> 00:03:25,695
Parcel, boo.

109
00:03:25,695 --> 00:03:26,617
- Parcel.

110
00:03:26,617 --> 00:03:28,160
- No, no, we...

111
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,137
It's understandable.

112
00:03:29,137 --> 00:03:29,970
- Fake.

113
00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:31,542
- Fake? (laughs) Fake friend.

114
00:03:31,542 --> 00:03:32,431
- Fake friend.
- [Ally] Fake friend.

115
00:03:32,431 --> 00:03:33,959
- Fake friend, Parcel.

116
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:36,379
- No, if you like Parcel, we'll
hang out with Parcel, but...

117
00:03:36,379 --> 00:03:37,587
(cast laughing)

118
00:03:37,587 --> 00:03:39,309
- But we don't think he's
a good friend to you.

119
00:03:39,309 --> 00:03:40,142
- Everyone makes mistakes.

120
00:03:40,142 --> 00:03:41,039
- They're not a good friend to you.

121
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:41,872
- Like, if that's your pick, okay.

122
00:03:41,872 --> 00:03:42,705
- [Ally] Everyone deserves grace.

123
00:03:42,705 --> 00:03:43,538
- Then we're gonna hang.
- [Ally] Not Parcel though.

124
00:03:43,538 --> 00:03:45,469
- That's totally fine. Just go hang out.

125
00:03:45,469 --> 00:03:48,721
- But with that, KoKoMo sort
of tracking down right outside,

126
00:03:48,721 --> 00:03:50,546
hearing in this moment that, you know,

127
00:03:50,546 --> 00:03:53,562
Aunt Freaky does not seem to be that

128
00:03:53,562 --> 00:03:56,050
into what Herbie is suggesting

129
00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:58,180
in terms of the History
Heap's responsibilities.

130
00:03:58,180 --> 00:04:02,763
You know, going after this
new, sort of salt coast

131
00:04:03,608 --> 00:04:07,202
off the edge of the Salt
Catchers versus this thing

132
00:04:07,202 --> 00:04:09,544
you heard about from
a rumor in Glider Town

133
00:04:09,544 --> 00:04:11,662
when you were at the
hospital of Bloodslug,

134
00:04:11,662 --> 00:04:15,396
which was a downscraper
in the Red Dust Plains

135
00:04:15,396 --> 00:04:20,396
that had tomes of the Spear
Shaker from the before times.

136
00:04:20,492 --> 00:04:22,724
(gasps) What could it mean?

137
00:04:22,724 --> 00:04:25,862
And of course, Tess, tracking down

138
00:04:25,862 --> 00:04:29,386
in a section of the History
Heap put together by none other

139
00:04:29,386 --> 00:04:33,129
than Uncle Pus, the
mysterious figure that seemed

140
00:04:33,129 --> 00:04:37,097
to have found your test
tube way back in the day.

141
00:04:37,097 --> 00:04:40,684
You've come across a massive bug person,

142
00:04:40,684 --> 00:04:41,795
(menacing dramatic music)

143
00:04:41,795 --> 00:04:44,678
rhinoceros beetle wings
beating behind them

144
00:04:44,678 --> 00:04:47,045
and an enormous spiked nose.

145
00:04:47,045 --> 00:04:48,281
This is where we left off

146
00:04:48,281 --> 00:04:51,698
here at the History Heap where we return.

147
00:04:53,226 --> 00:04:56,278
Stars scintillating in the night sky.

148
00:04:56,278 --> 00:04:57,353
Off in a corner,

149
00:04:57,353 --> 00:05:02,353
Quinn is busy working
feverishly on a engine,

150
00:05:02,989 --> 00:05:05,512
on a small engine to help play
(baby chainsaw buzzing)

151
00:05:05,512 --> 00:05:06,920
one of these non books.

152
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,905
As Quinn is working on that,

153
00:05:08,905 --> 00:05:13,680
we return to Connor Kawasaki
and Hugi in a corner.

154
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:18,505
Hugi, having left the machine behind

155
00:05:18,505 --> 00:05:23,505
that is now in Quinn's hands
with this Creativity check

156
00:05:23,723 --> 00:05:28,222
that is needed that you cannot
make it work in your hands.

157
00:05:28,222 --> 00:05:30,648
Connor, you behold Hugi kind of with

158
00:05:30,648 --> 00:05:32,158
whatever charred remains

159
00:05:32,158 --> 00:05:34,774
of that now-destroyed non book are.

160
00:05:34,774 --> 00:05:38,080
Connor, what do you do in this moment?

161
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,734
- [Zac] I think Connor is kind of hovering

162
00:05:41,734 --> 00:05:45,973
almost like "dad in the doorway" energy,

163
00:05:45,973 --> 00:05:50,127
but no dad energy at all. (laughs)

164
00:05:50,127 --> 00:05:52,593
(players chuckle)

165
00:05:52,593 --> 00:05:57,585
And is trying to figure
out how to approach it,

166
00:05:58,455 --> 00:06:02,054
but I think Connor goes
up to Hugi and says,

167
00:06:02,054 --> 00:06:04,720
uh... (nervous stammering)

168
00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:10,543
Uh, hey, hey, Hugi, um...

169
00:06:10,543 --> 00:06:11,771
(Kimia chuckling)
- [Vic] Hey.

170
00:06:11,771 --> 00:06:12,833
- I think, um...

171
00:06:12,833 --> 00:06:14,008
(Oscar laughing)

172
00:06:14,008 --> 00:06:15,726
Hey. (laughs)

173
00:06:15,726 --> 00:06:16,595
Hugi, uh...

174
00:06:16,595 --> 00:06:18,118
- It seems like this
conversation is maybe over

175
00:06:18,118 --> 00:06:19,505
so Hugi just starts
walking away a little bit.

176
00:06:19,505 --> 00:06:21,329
- Oh wait, I'm sorry. I just...

177
00:06:21,329 --> 00:06:22,336
I just wanted to say-

178
00:06:22,336 --> 00:06:23,169
- Oh, yeah.

179
00:06:23,169 --> 00:06:25,577
- I'm actually just
starting the conversation.

180
00:06:25,577 --> 00:06:26,410
- Oh, sorry.

181
00:06:26,410 --> 00:06:27,913
- I know it's kinda confusing and...

182
00:06:27,913 --> 00:06:32,376
Look, I think connection is hard

183
00:06:32,376 --> 00:06:36,511
(gentle music)
and I think, you know,

184
00:06:36,511 --> 00:06:40,025
I didn't really learn how to
connect with people very...

185
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:43,035
My parents weren't very good
at connecting, you know.

186
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:46,591
My mom is a condor and
my dad's a dirt bike

187
00:06:46,591 --> 00:06:49,131
and so I don't really...

188
00:06:49,131 --> 00:06:51,029
They didn't really teach me
how to connect to people very-

189
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:52,839
- I'm sorry, did you say dirt bike?

190
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,790
- Yeah, dirt. He is a dirt bike.

191
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:56,576
- I kept thinking that
you were saying dirtbag.

192
00:06:56,576 --> 00:06:58,522
- [Zac] Well...
- [Vic] Like a bad guy.

193
00:06:58,522 --> 00:07:00,458
- I-
- A dirt bike?

194
00:07:00,458 --> 00:07:02,179
- He's a dirt bike and-

195
00:07:02,179 --> 00:07:03,012
- Okay.

196
00:07:03,913 --> 00:07:05,594
- You know, we just didn't get along,

197
00:07:05,594 --> 00:07:09,645
and he had his own way
and my mom had her own-

198
00:07:09,645 --> 00:07:12,705
She's like, up there, so like,

199
00:07:12,705 --> 00:07:14,343
I didn't really learn how to...

200
00:07:14,343 --> 00:07:19,343
I learned how to talk through
binoculars, so like, this-

201
00:07:19,792 --> 00:07:21,302
I'm not used to doing this kinda thing.

202
00:07:21,302 --> 00:07:22,695
- Like a physical condor.

203
00:07:22,695 --> 00:07:23,528
- Hm?

204
00:07:23,528 --> 00:07:24,964
- Like a physical condor.

205
00:07:24,964 --> 00:07:26,183
- Is there a mental con-

206
00:07:26,183 --> 00:07:27,886
- Well, sort of, you had
sort of said like a condor

207
00:07:27,886 --> 00:07:29,742
and I thought you sort of
were referring to a person.

208
00:07:29,742 --> 00:07:32,833
Sometimes you know how people
are sorta described birdlike?

209
00:07:32,833 --> 00:07:33,666
- Oh.
- I always sorta thought

210
00:07:33,666 --> 00:07:35,266
you said your dad was like a bad guy

211
00:07:35,266 --> 00:07:36,544
and your mom was like a beautiful-

212
00:07:36,544 --> 00:07:38,338
- Hugi, give me an Awareness check,

213
00:07:38,338 --> 00:07:40,685
difficulty of five in this moment.

214
00:07:40,685 --> 00:07:42,653
- [Vic] (laughs) Oh, which one?

215
00:07:42,653 --> 00:07:43,507
- [Brennan] Awareness.

216
00:07:43,507 --> 00:07:45,286
- [Vic] Awareness, of
course. Okay, I have that.

217
00:07:45,286 --> 00:07:47,106
- [Oscar] Is that one of your burnt out?

218
00:07:47,106 --> 00:07:49,545
- [Vic] No, that's one
of my two that's not.

219
00:07:49,545 --> 00:07:50,584
- [Kimia] Nice.

220
00:07:50,584 --> 00:07:51,417
- Six.

221
00:07:51,417 --> 00:07:53,546
- [Brennan] Okay.
- But would...

222
00:07:53,546 --> 00:07:55,708
Is this conversation near death?

223
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,582
- No, I think in this moment,

224
00:07:58,582 --> 00:08:00,181
on that five-
- You can halve that.

225
00:08:00,181 --> 00:08:01,014
- Oh, yeah. Oh!

226
00:08:01,014 --> 00:08:01,847
- [Brennan] On that five Awareness.

227
00:08:01,847 --> 00:08:02,896
- Oh, I got a six Awareness.

228
00:08:02,896 --> 00:08:03,997
- [Brennan] Oh, six Awareness.
- Which is half anyway.

229
00:08:03,997 --> 00:08:06,020
- So you succeed on this check.

230
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:06,853
I think in this moment,

231
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:09,940
as you're looking at
Connor speaking to you,

232
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:11,601
the Gladlands is a wild place, right?

233
00:08:11,601 --> 00:08:14,944
KoKoMo's got fuzzy ears. Tess is part bug.

234
00:08:14,944 --> 00:08:17,836
Things sort of fly past a lot of times.

235
00:08:17,836 --> 00:08:19,802
You in your head were like,

236
00:08:19,802 --> 00:08:22,073
"Oh, when Connor said he was raised

237
00:08:22,073 --> 00:08:23,551
by a dirtbag and a condor,

238
00:08:23,551 --> 00:08:27,677
he meant like a bad guy and
then a condor-like woman.

239
00:08:27,677 --> 00:08:29,887
Like a woman who's maybe condor-themed."

240
00:08:29,887 --> 00:08:30,720
- Yeah.

241
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,838
- In a moment of stark analysis
piercing into the depths

242
00:08:33,838 --> 00:08:38,304
of your kind of crisis spiral
that you're in right now,

243
00:08:38,304 --> 00:08:43,304
you realize that Connor was
raised by a physical dirt bike,

244
00:08:43,585 --> 00:08:47,918
meaning an un-sentient
machine, and a condor, a bird.

245
00:08:49,177 --> 00:08:50,875
And I think that you go like,

246
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:52,910
"Ah, a lot of crazy stuff has happened."

247
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:54,047
This is one of the craziest things

248
00:08:54,047 --> 00:08:55,324
you've heard in the Gladlands.

249
00:08:55,324 --> 00:08:58,992
How Connor is alive
completely escapes you.

250
00:08:58,992 --> 00:09:00,299
- Right.

251
00:09:00,299 --> 00:09:04,582
- So like, my mom was
flying around and like...

252
00:09:04,582 --> 00:09:06,985
Obviously, she's like, gonna
do her thing or whatever.

253
00:09:06,985 --> 00:09:09,095
And then my dad is like
(mimics dirt bike revving)

254
00:09:09,095 --> 00:09:12,042
and I just felt I didn't really understand

255
00:09:12,042 --> 00:09:13,570
how to connect with people-

256
00:09:13,570 --> 00:09:14,403
- Right.

257
00:09:14,403 --> 00:09:18,364
- ...for a long time, and I
think even within the group,

258
00:09:18,364 --> 00:09:19,654
I'm usually on my bike

259
00:09:19,654 --> 00:09:21,668
a little further away from people.

260
00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:23,223
- And your bike's not...

261
00:09:23,223 --> 00:09:24,056
- Not my dad, no.

262
00:09:24,056 --> 00:09:25,867
- Right.
(Brennan cackling)

263
00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:27,901
- Come on! (laughs)

264
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,767
- My dad is a different bike.

265
00:09:29,767 --> 00:09:30,680
- Right.

266
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,859
- And so my point is, you know...

267
00:09:33,859 --> 00:09:38,859
I feel like I'm not good at
kinda connecting to people,

268
00:09:38,941 --> 00:09:39,774
but I just-

269
00:09:39,774 --> 00:09:41,322
- 'Cause of the machine and bird.

270
00:09:41,322 --> 00:09:42,592
- Yeah, they just weren't good at it.

271
00:09:42,592 --> 00:09:44,810
- Right, right. Right.
- And so I didn't really...

272
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:46,085
I had to kinda figure it out on my own,

273
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:48,233
but what I'm just saying like,

274
00:09:48,233 --> 00:09:50,023
you know, seeing everything here,

275
00:09:50,023 --> 00:09:53,424
I feel like connection is rare,

276
00:09:53,424 --> 00:09:56,559
and it seems like you
had something really,

277
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,641
you know, special with your cousin.

278
00:09:59,641 --> 00:10:04,030
And if you ever wanna,
you know, talk about them

279
00:10:04,030 --> 00:10:09,030
or do anything that y'all did
together, I would be happy to.

280
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:11,061
(tender wistful music)

281
00:10:11,061 --> 00:10:13,863
- I really appreciate that.
Can I ask you a question?

282
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:15,446
- Mm-hmm, anything.

283
00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:19,309
Is it about my mom and dad?

284
00:10:19,309 --> 00:10:21,122
- Well, I just had a couple
of follow-up questions

285
00:10:21,122 --> 00:10:22,430
on that if that's okay.
- [Zac] Sure. Yeah, yeah.

286
00:10:22,430 --> 00:10:23,263
- [Vic] If you don't wanna talk about it,

287
00:10:23,263 --> 00:10:24,546
I totally get that.
- [Zac] No, I'm happy to.

288
00:10:24,546 --> 00:10:25,952
It's confusing to me, so-

289
00:10:25,952 --> 00:10:27,130
- Like an egg?

290
00:10:27,130 --> 00:10:28,803
- An egg?
- Or were you built?

291
00:10:28,803 --> 00:10:30,382
- Hmm. I'm not sure.

292
00:10:30,382 --> 00:10:32,840
(players stifling laughter)

293
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,811
I don't remember. Do you
remember when you were born?

294
00:10:35,811 --> 00:10:38,442
- No. No, I don't, actually.

295
00:10:38,442 --> 00:10:41,498
- I don't remember what happened
to that. It's kinda like-

296
00:10:41,498 --> 00:10:43,156
- It was like a series of eggs, right?

297
00:10:43,156 --> 00:10:45,281
And each one had a part
to a motorcycle in it?

298
00:10:45,281 --> 00:10:47,397
(players laughing)

299
00:10:47,397 --> 00:10:48,527
- What's up, Quinn?

300
00:10:48,527 --> 00:10:52,440
(cast laughing)

301
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,413
I think that could be it. I don't know.

302
00:10:54,413 --> 00:10:55,843
I haven't really thought
about that part that much.

303
00:10:55,843 --> 00:10:57,980
- Do you talk to your parents?

304
00:10:57,980 --> 00:11:01,056
- No. I mean, my dad, he kinda retired.

305
00:11:01,056 --> 00:11:02,352
- Can you talk to your parents?

306
00:11:02,352 --> 00:11:04,385
- I can talk to them easy.

307
00:11:04,385 --> 00:11:05,218
- Okay.

308
00:11:05,218 --> 00:11:06,649
- They don't really talk too much to me.

309
00:11:06,649 --> 00:11:08,566
- Oh. (laughs)
(Brennan sputter laughs)

310
00:11:08,566 --> 00:11:10,174
- And that's something, I gotta,

311
00:11:10,174 --> 00:11:11,911
you know, deal with or whatever.

312
00:11:11,911 --> 00:11:14,121
- [Vic] Right.
- But, you know, I think...

313
00:11:14,121 --> 00:11:17,324
I don't know, I think I'm just saying

314
00:11:17,324 --> 00:11:19,421
it can be complicated, family, you know?

315
00:11:19,421 --> 00:11:20,668
- Yeah.

316
00:11:20,668 --> 00:11:24,185
Sometimes your aunt sorta has
an inability to listen to you

317
00:11:24,185 --> 00:11:25,240
and sometimes-
- Mm-hmm.

318
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,867
- ...your parents are
a bird and a dirt bike?

319
00:11:27,867 --> 00:11:29,980
- Yeah, sometimes.
- Yeah.

320
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:31,067
- Sometimes.

321
00:11:31,067 --> 00:11:32,900
(Ally chuckling)

322
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,970
(Zac mimics suavely lighting
a cigarette and inhaling)

323
00:11:34,970 --> 00:11:35,803
(Brennan laughing)
- [Kimia] Whoa.

324
00:11:35,803 --> 00:11:37,301
- Straight stogie to the dome.

325
00:11:37,301 --> 00:11:38,563
- [Kimia] Oh.
(Brennan laughing)

326
00:11:38,563 --> 00:11:39,396
(Zac coughing and hacking)

327
00:11:39,396 --> 00:11:42,204
- Cool. Honestly, a cool reveal for me.

328
00:11:42,204 --> 00:11:44,101
- Is that the first time
this character smoked?

329
00:11:44,101 --> 00:11:45,635
- What was that?
- I've never seen you...

330
00:11:45,635 --> 00:11:47,135
(Brennan and Oscar laughing)

331
00:11:47,135 --> 00:11:48,554
- Crawled into my hand.

332
00:11:48,554 --> 00:11:50,729
- You lit two feathers on fire and then...

333
00:11:50,729 --> 00:11:52,102
(Zac hacks)

334
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:53,264
- I don't know.
- Okay.

335
00:11:53,264 --> 00:11:55,065
- I watched someone do
that from a distance.

336
00:11:55,065 --> 00:11:56,513
- Oh, I see.
(players laugh)

337
00:11:56,513 --> 00:11:58,042
Connor, I know you don't
spend a lot of time

338
00:11:58,042 --> 00:11:59,336
on the Carer Van so like-
- Uh-huh.

339
00:11:59,336 --> 00:12:00,730
- I feel like I don't...

340
00:12:00,730 --> 00:12:03,820
I hope it's not new information to say

341
00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:04,692
I don't feel as close to you

342
00:12:04,692 --> 00:12:06,039
as maybe some of the other
people on the Carer Van.

343
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:06,872
- Yeah, it makes sense.

344
00:12:06,872 --> 00:12:07,705
I'm kinda far away,

345
00:12:07,705 --> 00:12:09,766
watching you guys from
a distance, usually.

346
00:12:09,766 --> 00:12:10,621
- But I just wanted to say,

347
00:12:10,621 --> 00:12:11,637
I would like to get to know you better,

348
00:12:11,637 --> 00:12:13,730
and I'm gonna make more
of an effort to do that.

349
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,109
- Connor (laughs) puts the
visor of his helmet down.

350
00:12:19,109 --> 00:12:20,674
(voice cracking) That's awesome.

351
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:23,435
(Brennan laughing)
(players awing)

352
00:12:23,435 --> 00:12:24,268
Cool, cool.

353
00:12:24,268 --> 00:12:25,101
- Cool, cool.

354
00:12:25,101 --> 00:12:25,934
- Cool.

355
00:12:25,934 --> 00:12:27,094
- You guys, what I've found here

356
00:12:27,094 --> 00:12:30,456
is some of the newest technology
that they had, I think,

357
00:12:30,456 --> 00:12:33,186
literally right before
the world collapsed.

358
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:36,500
It's called anti-skip technology.

359
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:37,333
- [Vic] What do you mean?

360
00:12:37,333 --> 00:12:40,418
- And you can shake this and
the disk won't even skip.

361
00:12:40,418 --> 00:12:42,027
- Was the disk skipping before? Was that-

362
00:12:42,027 --> 00:12:44,823
- Yeah, yeah, I guess
some scientist was able to

363
00:12:44,823 --> 00:12:47,540
make that, and so it's
actually really sick.

364
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:48,743
- Skipping what?

365
00:12:48,743 --> 00:12:50,378
- You know, it's like if
you were on a road trip

366
00:12:50,378 --> 00:12:51,583
or something and you hit a pothole

367
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:54,419
and it just totally ruined the CD.

368
00:12:54,419 --> 00:12:56,662
It just would kinda skip forever?

369
00:12:56,662 --> 00:12:58,054
This person was able to stop that.

370
00:12:58,054 --> 00:12:59,950
- Where'd you come up with that word, CD?

371
00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:00,883
- It says it here.

372
00:13:00,883 --> 00:13:02,296
- Does it?
- [Ally] Yeah.

373
00:13:02,296 --> 00:13:03,129
- Okay.

374
00:13:03,129 --> 00:13:04,626
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Okay, okay!

375
00:13:04,626 --> 00:13:05,513
- That's good.
- That's great.

376
00:13:05,513 --> 00:13:07,267
- So I'm able to, like, totally fix...

377
00:13:07,267 --> 00:13:10,723
We could listen to any of Void's-

378
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:11,556
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.

379
00:13:11,556 --> 00:13:12,591
- Like, disks, right?
- [Brennan] Yeah, you begin.

380
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:15,123
Some of the disks, for some
reason, don't play in it.

381
00:13:15,123 --> 00:13:17,168
Some do. You're looking at them.

382
00:13:17,168 --> 00:13:19,716
You begin to see that ones that say...

383
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:22,375
that have a C and a D on them do.

384
00:13:22,375 --> 00:13:25,828
And you see in Void's notes,
like, Void's presentation here

385
00:13:25,828 --> 00:13:28,201
was very clear in terms of how they proved

386
00:13:28,201 --> 00:13:29,968
that there might be secret writing.

387
00:13:29,968 --> 00:13:31,419
You know, a lot of people were like,

388
00:13:31,419 --> 00:13:33,983
"These disks might just
be strangely shaped books

389
00:13:33,983 --> 00:13:38,229
that describe something elsewhere
buried in the Gladlands."

390
00:13:38,229 --> 00:13:42,827
And Void's whole theory
was predicated on this word

391
00:13:42,827 --> 00:13:45,563
that appears everywhere
on these called "runtime"

392
00:13:45,563 --> 00:13:46,763
and was basically like,

393
00:13:46,763 --> 00:13:48,197
"This is an indication that there

394
00:13:48,197 --> 00:13:51,260
is something associated with
this that we're not seeing."

395
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:52,599
- Wow.
- And other people were like,

396
00:13:52,599 --> 00:13:55,241
"Perhaps Runtime is the name of a deity!"

397
00:13:55,241 --> 00:13:56,950
You know, something like
that, and it's like,

398
00:13:56,950 --> 00:14:00,306
"No, this is connected
with this machine here."

399
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:02,210
As you take a look at Quinn doing that,

400
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:05,835
Connor, I'd like you to
make an Awareness check.

401
00:14:05,835 --> 00:14:07,778
Difficulty is gonna be seven.

402
00:14:07,778 --> 00:14:09,036
If you can beat that by five or more,

403
00:14:09,036 --> 00:14:11,272
there's gonna be some extra
goodies associated there.

404
00:14:11,272 --> 00:14:12,105
- By five or more?

405
00:14:12,105 --> 00:14:13,953
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Okay, let's see.

406
00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:14,879
(die taps table)

407
00:14:15,804 --> 00:14:17,268
That's a 19, baby!

408
00:14:17,268 --> 00:14:18,657
(players cheering)
- [Brennan] 19.

409
00:14:18,657 --> 00:14:19,490
- Ooh!

410
00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:20,323
- Sweet, sweet, sweet.

411
00:14:20,323 --> 00:14:23,342
- Here at the History Heap,
you look far to the...

412
00:14:23,342 --> 00:14:25,659
With the visor down, you're like...

413
00:14:25,659 --> 00:14:28,245
(Zac and Ally laughing)

414
00:14:28,245 --> 00:14:29,423
(laughs) That's awesome.

415
00:14:29,423 --> 00:14:31,512
- [Ally] Don't let 'em see
the whites of your eyes.

416
00:14:33,487 --> 00:14:34,320
(Zac laughs)

417
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,126
- Looking out in that
moment of connection,

418
00:14:38,126 --> 00:14:43,068
I think you remember back
to discovering the first

419
00:14:44,683 --> 00:14:48,431
human encampment in the
waste as a little kid

420
00:14:48,431 --> 00:14:51,366
with your binoculars, hiding in the rocks,

421
00:14:51,366 --> 00:14:55,063
scavenging debris and
dirt to eat, you know?

422
00:14:55,063 --> 00:14:58,142
Your dad nearby with the kickstand up,

423
00:14:58,142 --> 00:15:01,912
your mom somewhere, you
know, flying overhead.

424
00:15:01,912 --> 00:15:04,830
And looking at a town
and seeing that people

425
00:15:04,830 --> 00:15:07,248
were making noises at each other

426
00:15:07,248 --> 00:15:10,612
and just developing your eyesight so long,

427
00:15:10,612 --> 00:15:12,084
looking through the binoculars,

428
00:15:12,084 --> 00:15:14,120
figuring out what they
were saying to each other,

429
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,272
how to make the noises so that one day

430
00:15:17,272 --> 00:15:19,356
you could walk into that town

431
00:15:19,356 --> 00:15:22,500
and speak for the very
first time in your life

432
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:25,605
in a completely full
and complete sentence.

433
00:15:25,605 --> 00:15:27,199
- You're out of the tuna?

434
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:28,496
(Brennan laughs)

435
00:15:28,496 --> 00:15:30,368
Someone's ordering a sandwich.

436
00:15:30,368 --> 00:15:31,791
- With that same eyesight, you look now

437
00:15:31,791 --> 00:15:33,664
and see far to the north of here

438
00:15:33,664 --> 00:15:36,844
at the edge of the History
Heap, not headed this way

439
00:15:36,844 --> 00:15:38,885
but headed west of here,

440
00:15:38,885 --> 00:15:41,243
(Brennan mimics lightning crackling)

441
00:15:41,243 --> 00:15:44,693
lightning distantly across the sky.

442
00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:49,693
As storm clouds begin to move
across the north of the desert

443
00:15:50,327 --> 00:15:53,425
(rain pattering)
you see distant rain falling

444
00:15:54,383 --> 00:15:57,608
upland of the Red Dust Plains.

445
00:15:58,806 --> 00:16:01,286
- Does it seem like
it's coming towards us?

446
00:16:01,286 --> 00:16:02,571
- Doesn't seem like
it's coming towards you.

447
00:16:02,571 --> 00:16:04,861
It seems like it's heading slowly west,

448
00:16:04,861 --> 00:16:05,876
but you know that those-

449
00:16:05,876 --> 00:16:06,894
- That's where the...

450
00:16:06,894 --> 00:16:08,257
- [Brennan] That's where
the downscrapers are

451
00:16:08,257 --> 00:16:12,191
and thing that was a
concern from Glider Town

452
00:16:12,191 --> 00:16:14,710
was that whatever was
left in the downscrapers,

453
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:16,849
the submerged skyscrapers,

454
00:16:16,849 --> 00:16:19,136
if that storm gets all the way west,

455
00:16:19,136 --> 00:16:21,007
which it looks like it's headed there

456
00:16:21,007 --> 00:16:22,883
or at least the weather
is kind of moving off

457
00:16:22,883 --> 00:16:27,160
in that direction, that there
could be some flash flooding

458
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,405
in the direction of the Red Dust Plains.

459
00:16:29,405 --> 00:16:32,031
It looks like you're- Again, on a 19,

460
00:16:32,031 --> 00:16:35,126
I will say you are
catching this very early.

461
00:16:35,126 --> 00:16:37,399
You're seeing the earliest storm clouds.

462
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:39,647
But just looking at the weather
patterns on the horizon,

463
00:16:39,647 --> 00:16:41,492
you can tell that that's
gonna pick up intensity

464
00:16:41,492 --> 00:16:45,703
probably over the next 24 hours.

465
00:16:45,703 --> 00:16:47,698
- Oh, okay.

466
00:16:47,698 --> 00:16:49,573
Uh, uh...

467
00:16:51,471 --> 00:16:54,470
Hugi, Quinn, I was looking out that way,

468
00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:55,931
and do you guys see those?

469
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:58,299
And I just hold up my- I
break my binoculars in half

470
00:16:58,299 --> 00:16:59,972
and hand you each one.
- [Oscar] Wow.

471
00:17:01,589 --> 00:17:03,673
- Are they ordering a tuna sandwich?

472
00:17:03,673 --> 00:17:05,765
(cast chuckling)

473
00:17:06,615 --> 00:17:07,540
- It's that. Sorry.

474
00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:08,373
- Okay.

475
00:17:09,581 --> 00:17:11,427
- It's way too late for that.
- There's a storm.

476
00:17:11,427 --> 00:17:12,674
It's way too late for...

477
00:17:12,674 --> 00:17:14,245
Sorry, I'm also gonna move your...

478
00:17:14,245 --> 00:17:15,611
- Oh, thanks. Oh, got it.

479
00:17:15,611 --> 00:17:16,998
Okay, yeah, yeah.
- Storm clouds headed.

480
00:17:16,998 --> 00:17:17,831
Don't we...

481
00:17:17,831 --> 00:17:19,890
We're gonna lose everything
that was down there, right?

482
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:21,859
- [Ally] We gotta tell-
- In the downscrapers?

483
00:17:23,176 --> 00:17:25,056
- It's still so hard for me
not to say Poppy, but yeah.

484
00:17:25,056 --> 00:17:28,294
- [Zac] Yeah. I think
they would wanna know.

485
00:17:28,294 --> 00:17:30,626
- Okay, should we...

486
00:17:30,626 --> 00:17:33,021
We cracked this open.

487
00:17:33,021 --> 00:17:34,139
Should we tell Void

488
00:17:34,139 --> 00:17:36,525
or should we just leave
some instructions for Void?

489
00:17:36,525 --> 00:17:39,771
- Is it crazy to split up?
I have to get this to Void.

490
00:17:39,771 --> 00:17:40,622
I do.
- [Ally] Yeah.

491
00:17:40,622 --> 00:17:42,603
- It's really important.
- We'll go with you, yeah.

492
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:45,587
- Well, I mean, do we
want somebody to tell...

493
00:17:45,587 --> 00:17:46,541
I mean, I think at the very least,

494
00:17:46,541 --> 00:17:48,136
we should let Herbie know.

495
00:17:48,136 --> 00:17:50,272
- I imagine that this is
all in the same direction.

496
00:17:50,272 --> 00:17:52,814
Let's just go and try to-
Whoever we run into first

497
00:17:52,814 --> 00:17:54,931
and maybe see if Void wants to join us

498
00:17:54,931 --> 00:17:57,167
'cause didn't they just get fired?

499
00:17:57,167 --> 00:17:58,698
They could work on this in the Carer Van.

500
00:17:58,698 --> 00:18:00,945
- Well, we're trying to save this area.

501
00:18:00,945 --> 00:18:02,853
That's why this was so important.

502
00:18:02,853 --> 00:18:04,870
- Oh, I got you. Yeah, okay.

503
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:07,503
- Would your aunt care about it or no?

504
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:10,292
- I think we should leave her be.

505
00:18:10,292 --> 00:18:11,125
- Okay.

506
00:18:11,125 --> 00:18:14,794
- Do you wanna bag up your
stuff here that's most important

507
00:18:14,794 --> 00:18:16,103
and take it with us on the Carer Van

508
00:18:16,103 --> 00:18:17,571
or do you want it to live here?

509
00:18:17,571 --> 00:18:19,389
- Well, you know, as
long this place is safe,

510
00:18:19,389 --> 00:18:20,847
we're not gonna need it,

511
00:18:20,847 --> 00:18:22,282
and I think it should
stay exactly where it is.

512
00:18:22,282 --> 00:18:23,530
- Okay, great. Let's go.

513
00:18:23,530 --> 00:18:27,813
- Heading out, Hugi, you
have this incredible insight

514
00:18:27,813 --> 00:18:30,106
that Void was right.
(enigmatic electronic music)

515
00:18:30,106 --> 00:18:32,256
You have a memory of you
and Muni hearing something

516
00:18:32,256 --> 00:18:33,206
back here when you were kids,

517
00:18:33,206 --> 00:18:34,990
and you couldn't convince anybody.

518
00:18:34,990 --> 00:18:37,717
It happened by accident. There
wasn't a way to explain it.

519
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:39,978
But Void has followed
through, and now Quinn

520
00:18:39,978 --> 00:18:42,980
putting this technology back
together, been proven right.

521
00:18:42,980 --> 00:18:45,988
Leaving from this place with
this sort of charred non book,

522
00:18:45,988 --> 00:18:50,315
how is Hugi feeling both, like,
there's a big success here

523
00:18:50,315 --> 00:18:52,093
in that you're gonna be able
to prove that Void was right,

524
00:18:52,093 --> 00:18:54,672
but you weren't able
to be the one to do it.

525
00:18:54,672 --> 00:18:58,762
- Yeah, I think it's very
similarly to that moment

526
00:18:58,762 --> 00:19:02,142
of the dock where it is this

527
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:06,682
feeling of failure that
is sort of swirling.

528
00:19:06,682 --> 00:19:11,141
And as it's swirling, Hugi is spinning it

529
00:19:11,141 --> 00:19:12,438
and it's spinning it into like,

530
00:19:12,438 --> 00:19:13,478
this was actually a good thing.

531
00:19:13,478 --> 00:19:14,436
This was a better thing.

532
00:19:14,436 --> 00:19:15,269
- Yeah.
- [Vic] This is actually,

533
00:19:15,269 --> 00:19:17,010
this is exactly the way
it was supposed to be.

534
00:19:17,010 --> 00:19:20,002
And that is just sort of
spinning faster and faster

535
00:19:20,002 --> 00:19:22,308
and that's the battery that's
running Hugi right now.

536
00:19:22,308 --> 00:19:23,141
Mm-hmm.

537
00:19:23,141 --> 00:19:24,247
- [Brennan] We move back to Herbie

538
00:19:24,247 --> 00:19:26,683
with Parcel standing
there with Aunt Freaky,

539
00:19:26,683 --> 00:19:29,911
one of her hands on
the skull, looking off,

540
00:19:29,911 --> 00:19:31,454
as you look at Parcel

541
00:19:31,454 --> 00:19:33,965
not speaking up in your defense.

542
00:19:33,965 --> 00:19:36,823
And again, even in your
advocacy for a different

543
00:19:36,823 --> 00:19:39,480
way of doing things, you're
not giving the full...

544
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,948
Like, you're not mentioning Poppy.

545
00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:43,725
You're not giving the full
story of what's been happening.

546
00:19:43,725 --> 00:19:45,916
But entering through the door is KoKoMo.

547
00:19:45,916 --> 00:19:49,483
KoKoMo, you enter in, see
Aunt Freaky standing here.

548
00:19:49,483 --> 00:19:51,934
This place is actually
quite- This den is very cozy.

549
00:19:51,934 --> 00:19:54,322
It's not that dissimilar from your nest

550
00:19:54,322 --> 00:19:57,124
in terms of how
well-appointed and nice it is,

551
00:19:57,124 --> 00:19:58,534
and there's little artifacts

552
00:19:58,534 --> 00:20:01,154
and beautiful little decorations,
bits of stained glass

553
00:20:01,154 --> 00:20:02,935
and other fractured little broken things

554
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,634
that are very pretty and refined

555
00:20:04,634 --> 00:20:07,495
and have been cared for and tended to.

556
00:20:07,495 --> 00:20:09,932
You see Aunt Freaky swivels around.

557
00:20:09,932 --> 00:20:11,923
"Ah, KoKoMo."

558
00:20:11,923 --> 00:20:13,163
- KoKoMo.

559
00:20:13,163 --> 00:20:16,177
- Welcome, welcome, my friend.

560
00:20:16,177 --> 00:20:18,593
Can I assist you with anything?

561
00:20:18,593 --> 00:20:19,691
- Do I see my friend?

562
00:20:19,691 --> 00:20:21,939
- [Brennan] Yeah, Herbie's
right there along with Parcel.

563
00:20:21,939 --> 00:20:24,291
- I just kinda move
over to their direction.

564
00:20:24,291 --> 00:20:25,403
I'm good.

565
00:20:25,403 --> 00:20:26,236
- Oh!

566
00:20:26,236 --> 00:20:28,217
- Do you have anything for me?

567
00:20:28,217 --> 00:20:29,050
- "Not at-"

568
00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:30,899
And you see that her eyes...

569
00:20:30,899 --> 00:20:34,138
Would you have left
the Cali Vibes postcard

570
00:20:34,138 --> 00:20:35,874
in the truck, do you think?

571
00:20:35,874 --> 00:20:38,388
- I think it'd be probably
with the other cassette tape

572
00:20:38,388 --> 00:20:42,969
and the mismatched
pitter-pattered album cover.

573
00:20:42,969 --> 00:20:43,802
- Cool.

574
00:20:43,802 --> 00:20:45,960
You see that she turns to you and says,

575
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,087
"Well, welcome, my good friend.

576
00:20:49,087 --> 00:20:53,872
I believe there are some
members of the History Heap

577
00:20:53,872 --> 00:20:57,825
that may have some use for your services.

578
00:20:57,825 --> 00:21:00,997
It's come to our attention
that a lack of touch

579
00:21:00,997 --> 00:21:05,330
can render one's ability
to research less effective.

580
00:21:06,810 --> 00:21:09,995
We have a list of people who may benefit

581
00:21:09,995 --> 00:21:12,222
from a hug of 10 seconds or longer,

582
00:21:12,222 --> 00:21:15,087
and they are ready to line up
first thing tomorrow morning."

583
00:21:15,087 --> 00:21:16,663
- I'd love to see that list.

584
00:21:16,663 --> 00:21:20,179
- You see that she goes over-
(Jacob and Vic laughing)

585
00:21:20,179 --> 00:21:23,042
(Brennan laughs) Goes over and
hands you a list of people.

586
00:21:23,042 --> 00:21:24,890
And you see that there's
a small spreadsheet

587
00:21:24,890 --> 00:21:27,656
with a list of names, the
order they signed up in.

588
00:21:27,656 --> 00:21:28,666
There's a column.

589
00:21:28,666 --> 00:21:29,609
- I read the names.

590
00:21:29,609 --> 00:21:30,673
- [Brennan] There's a column-

591
00:21:30,673 --> 00:21:32,814
(players laughing)

592
00:21:32,814 --> 00:21:35,839
Hold on one second. Here we go.

593
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:37,897
- I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

594
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:40,132
- Okay, okay.
(Jacob chuckling)

595
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:42,590
You see that in the third column of it

596
00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:44,486
you see there's some slashes and X's

597
00:21:44,486 --> 00:21:47,779
that you see are, she says,
"This is a small rubric

598
00:21:47,779 --> 00:21:52,779
for double overarm, one
arm over, one arm under,

599
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,379
or both arms under based on preference."

600
00:21:56,379 --> 00:21:58,708
- I look at just one name on the list.

601
00:21:58,708 --> 00:21:59,547
- Great.

602
00:21:59,547 --> 00:22:01,434
(players laughing)

603
00:22:01,434 --> 00:22:02,770
Mrs. Jennifer Mandible.

604
00:22:02,770 --> 00:22:03,748
- Cool.

605
00:22:03,748 --> 00:22:08,028
- I very subtly say to KoKoMo,

606
00:22:08,028 --> 00:22:11,454
but I also am saying it
so Auntie Freaky can hear.

607
00:22:11,454 --> 00:22:15,384
I say, is Auntie Freaky's
name on that list?

608
00:22:15,384 --> 00:22:16,217
- Is it?

609
00:22:16,217 --> 00:22:17,217
- It is not.

610
00:22:18,358 --> 00:22:22,026
She turns to you and
says, "Regardless, Herbie,

611
00:22:22,026 --> 00:22:26,778
if you can try to summarize
for me what your concerns are.

612
00:22:26,778 --> 00:22:30,977
This addition of this marine biology sign

613
00:22:30,977 --> 00:22:33,900
to the Science Heap is a welcome endeavor,

614
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:38,011
and I think returning the Truthbrary,

615
00:22:38,011 --> 00:22:40,743
maybe decoupling from the Carer Van,

616
00:22:40,743 --> 00:22:43,647
would be to everybody's benefit.

617
00:22:43,647 --> 00:22:47,397
The work of the History
Heap ever continues."

618
00:22:48,387 --> 00:22:51,487
- I'd like to alter my
course, if that's possible.

619
00:22:51,487 --> 00:22:53,859
(gentle mystical music)

620
00:22:53,859 --> 00:22:55,559
- Well, altering your course

621
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:59,428
will require speaking
to the History Council.

622
00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,420
- Which is exactly why I'm here.

623
00:23:01,420 --> 00:23:05,827
- Very well. You shall
speak to them on the morrow.

624
00:23:05,827 --> 00:23:08,123
Is there anything else
I can help you with?

625
00:23:08,123 --> 00:23:09,287
(peaceful soothing music)

626
00:23:09,287 --> 00:23:12,208
- [Oscar] Information-
- Does KoKoMo gesture to her?

627
00:23:12,208 --> 00:23:16,092
I would like you to give me a Charm roll.

628
00:23:16,092 --> 00:23:17,176
- Oh, interesting.

629
00:23:17,176 --> 00:23:18,042
- Knock her out, dog.

630
00:23:18,042 --> 00:23:19,282
- [Brennan] Difficulty of-

631
00:23:19,282 --> 00:23:21,605
(players laughing)

632
00:23:21,605 --> 00:23:22,831
Difficulty of-

633
00:23:22,831 --> 00:23:25,252
- Smother her. (laughs)

634
00:23:25,252 --> 00:23:26,585
- Difficulty of,

635
00:23:28,262 --> 00:23:30,323
we'll call it a seven.

636
00:23:30,323 --> 00:23:32,442
DC seven Charm roll.
- Okay.

637
00:23:32,442 --> 00:23:33,697
(die taps table)
(peaceful music continues)

638
00:23:33,697 --> 00:23:35,266
A one.
- [Kimia] Ooh.

639
00:23:35,266 --> 00:23:36,776
- [Brennan] Go ahead and take a Boo-Boo.

640
00:23:36,776 --> 00:23:38,454
This is a failure by five or more.

641
00:23:38,454 --> 00:23:39,287
(sad guitar string twangs)

642
00:23:39,287 --> 00:23:40,307
You see that she says,

643
00:23:40,307 --> 00:23:44,971
"This double-handed 'come
hither' gesture, what is this?"

644
00:23:44,971 --> 00:23:47,018
- I was offering you a hug.

645
00:23:47,018 --> 00:23:48,087
- I'm not interested.

646
00:23:48,087 --> 00:23:49,077
- Great.

647
00:23:49,077 --> 00:23:51,798
- She turns over to you and goes...

648
00:23:51,798 --> 00:23:53,182
- Oh.
(cast laughing)

649
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:54,660
(slaps head) Oh.

650
00:23:54,660 --> 00:23:56,630
- And I'll say to Herbie and KoKoMo here,

651
00:23:56,630 --> 00:24:00,639
give me Awareness, difficulty of nine.

652
00:24:03,401 --> 00:24:04,759
- I wanna Bungle.

653
00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:05,592
- Your Awareness...

654
00:24:05,592 --> 00:24:08,316
Oh, oh, I was gonna say, your
Awareness is way higher now.

655
00:24:08,316 --> 00:24:09,149
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.

656
00:24:09,149 --> 00:24:11,215
- 'Cause you're Herbie.
- Oh, that's true! It's...

657
00:24:11,215 --> 00:24:12,555
I forgot who I was. Thank you.

658
00:24:12,555 --> 00:24:14,507
- Yeah, I'm always here to let
you know you're out of drag.

659
00:24:14,507 --> 00:24:16,043
- [Brennan] What did we
get for Awareness here?

660
00:24:16,043 --> 00:24:16,952
(Ally and Oscar laughing)
- Six.

661
00:24:16,952 --> 00:24:17,910
- [Brennan] Six.
- Ooh, I blew up.

662
00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:19,374
(engine revving)
- [Brennan] Oh shit!

663
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:20,219
- Four, 10.

664
00:24:20,219 --> 00:24:21,791
10! KoKoMo!
(players cheering)

665
00:24:21,791 --> 00:24:22,844
- And I wanna Bungle that.

666
00:24:22,844 --> 00:24:24,997
- You wanna Bungle that? Okay.
- Yeah, I do.

667
00:24:24,997 --> 00:24:25,937
I wanna Bungle that.

668
00:24:25,937 --> 00:24:26,981
- All right, you're gonna Bungle that?

669
00:24:26,981 --> 00:24:31,174
Go ahead and Bungle it.
Go ahead and give me a...

670
00:24:31,174 --> 00:24:33,811
You're gonna subtract a
d20 from this 10 roll.

671
00:24:33,811 --> 00:24:34,735
- Yep.

672
00:24:34,735 --> 00:24:35,814
(die taps table)

673
00:24:35,814 --> 00:24:37,186
That's a six.

674
00:24:37,186 --> 00:24:38,888
- So that goes down to a four.

675
00:24:38,888 --> 00:24:39,721
- Cool.

676
00:24:39,721 --> 00:24:41,449
- [Brennan] Okay, so you each take

677
00:24:41,449 --> 00:24:44,053
two Boo-Boos in this moment.
(sad guitar string twangs)

678
00:24:44,053 --> 00:24:46,376
- Can I ask what the hat does
again, just as a reminder?

679
00:24:46,376 --> 00:24:47,209
- [Oscar] Oh, yes.

680
00:24:47,209 --> 00:24:48,042
While wearing this hat,

681
00:24:48,042 --> 00:24:49,798
you gain twice as many adversity tokens

682
00:24:49,798 --> 00:24:51,857
when you Bungle someone else's check.

683
00:24:51,857 --> 00:24:53,170
- So you get four Boo-Boos right now.

684
00:24:53,170 --> 00:24:54,717
- [Oscar] Yes.
- Whoa!

685
00:24:54,717 --> 00:24:55,824
- [Jacob] Whee!
- [Brennan] Wow! Okay.

686
00:24:55,824 --> 00:24:56,884
- [Ally] What was this check for?

687
00:24:56,884 --> 00:24:58,088
- [Brennan] This was an Awareness check.

688
00:24:58,088 --> 00:24:59,882
- Just a general, we don't
know what it's for yet?

689
00:24:59,882 --> 00:25:00,715
- [Brennan] Don't know what it's for yet.

690
00:25:00,715 --> 00:25:01,673
- What does that say?

691
00:25:01,673 --> 00:25:04,419
- Does this usher her out faster?

692
00:25:04,419 --> 00:25:05,852
(Oscar laughing)

693
00:25:05,852 --> 00:25:07,647
- Does this usher her out faster?

694
00:25:07,647 --> 00:25:09,109
So this is her den.

695
00:25:09,109 --> 00:25:09,942
- Okay.

696
00:25:09,942 --> 00:25:10,775
- [Brennan] But you would probably-

697
00:25:10,775 --> 00:25:12,190
(players laughing)

698
00:25:12,190 --> 00:25:13,683
- And it's kicking her
out, right? (laughs)

699
00:25:13,683 --> 00:25:15,871
- (laughs) I was trying
to turn something bad

700
00:25:15,871 --> 00:25:17,172
into something good.
- [Brennan] KoKoMo-

701
00:25:17,172 --> 00:25:19,808
- The moment that your voice
clicks into, like, polite

702
00:25:19,808 --> 00:25:22,569
and gentle even though what
you're saying is so funny.

703
00:25:22,569 --> 00:25:24,459
- Well, you're in her house, so.

704
00:25:24,459 --> 00:25:25,292
- So this is, you're in her house.

705
00:25:25,292 --> 00:25:27,120
- Okay, so this, hm, what
is this? Hm. (laughs)

706
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:28,771
(Ally laughing)

707
00:25:28,771 --> 00:25:31,004
- 'Cause this actually, yeah, she's like,

708
00:25:31,004 --> 00:25:32,672
"You guys know where the keys are, right?"

709
00:25:32,672 --> 00:25:34,841
- Yeah, yeah. "Make sure
you turn off the light."

710
00:25:34,841 --> 00:25:37,492
- KoKoMo, as you stare
through, you look at her,

711
00:25:37,492 --> 00:25:42,492
and as you offer a hug,
you see that she looks

712
00:25:42,654 --> 00:25:47,546
and moves a hand to the crook
of her elbow unconsciously.

713
00:25:48,669 --> 00:25:50,133
She does something...

714
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:50,966
There's something gestured,

715
00:25:50,966 --> 00:25:52,931
but before you can interpret what that is,

716
00:25:52,931 --> 00:25:54,584
how does Herbie Bungle this?

717
00:25:54,584 --> 00:25:59,584
- I look at the skull that Aunt
Freaky was sort of holding.

718
00:26:00,008 --> 00:26:00,841
- [Brennan] Yeah.

719
00:26:00,841 --> 00:26:03,228
- And I panic.

720
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:04,061
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.

721
00:26:04,061 --> 00:26:06,067
- And I sort of like,

722
00:26:06,067 --> 00:26:08,266
jerk around and knock the skull over.

723
00:26:08,266 --> 00:26:11,085
(dramatic impact pounds)
- A hand flashes out,

724
00:26:11,085 --> 00:26:13,966
grabs the skull, and
her face wheels around

725
00:26:13,966 --> 00:26:15,198
right in your face and says,

726
00:26:15,198 --> 00:26:17,014
"Have a care, won't you?"

727
00:26:18,143 --> 00:26:18,976
- I'm sorry, it was an-

728
00:26:18,976 --> 00:26:20,337
- You trudging idiot!

729
00:26:21,604 --> 00:26:23,182
- I'm sorry, it was an accident. I didn't-

730
00:26:23,182 --> 00:26:26,308
- Don't make those, Herbie!

731
00:26:26,308 --> 00:26:30,243
Don't make accidents! Do it right!

732
00:26:30,243 --> 00:26:32,032
(tense dramatic music)
- Okay.

733
00:26:32,032 --> 00:26:33,312
Okay.

734
00:26:33,312 --> 00:26:36,065
I just kinda usher Herbie away.

735
00:26:36,065 --> 00:26:39,087
- She looks around and
says, "I am not required

736
00:26:39,087 --> 00:26:43,587
to be kind to you when you
do things that frighten me.

737
00:26:44,601 --> 00:26:46,305
This is my home!"

738
00:26:46,305 --> 00:26:48,368
- I'm sorry, that was frightening to you?

739
00:26:48,368 --> 00:26:49,358
- Leave!
(dramatic impact reverberates)

740
00:26:49,358 --> 00:26:51,178
- Okay, okay, okay.
(haunting notes squeal)

741
00:26:51,178 --> 00:26:54,198
- And you see Parcel walks
out the door with you.

742
00:26:54,198 --> 00:26:57,348
I'll ask for one last Awareness
here just from KoKoMo.

743
00:26:57,348 --> 00:27:00,199
Once again, this is going
to be a difficulty of...

744
00:27:00,199 --> 00:27:01,465
No, we're gonna do eight
again. Difficulty of eight.

745
00:27:01,465 --> 00:27:02,298
- This is an Awareness check?

746
00:27:02,298 --> 00:27:03,131
- [Brennan] This is an Awareness,

747
00:27:03,131 --> 00:27:03,964
but I'm just gonna have
KoKoMo do it this time.

748
00:27:03,964 --> 00:27:04,797
- I'm Bungling it too.

749
00:27:04,797 --> 00:27:06,798
- I Bungled, yeah, 'cause I have a d6, so.

750
00:27:06,798 --> 00:27:07,631
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
(die taps table)

751
00:27:07,631 --> 00:27:08,998
- A one. It's cocked, I'm gonna redo it.

752
00:27:08,998 --> 00:27:10,126
- [Brennan] Cool.

753
00:27:10,126 --> 00:27:12,094
- It's a one again.
- [Brennan] Cool, cool.

754
00:27:12,094 --> 00:27:13,032
Go ahead and take a Boo-Boo.

755
00:27:13,032 --> 00:27:14,536
- Yeah. Are you gonna Bungle?
(sad guitar string twangs)

756
00:27:14,536 --> 00:27:15,531
- [Oscar] Yeah.
- Yeah.

757
00:27:15,531 --> 00:27:16,768
- [Brennan] I don't-
- Is that possible?

758
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:18,328
Can I Bungle a one?
- He said just from Jacob.

759
00:27:18,328 --> 00:27:19,729
- [Brennan] It was just, yeah.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

760
00:27:19,729 --> 00:27:21,292
- That's fair. Yep,
yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

761
00:27:21,292 --> 00:27:22,657
- Yeah, I think that on that one,

762
00:27:22,657 --> 00:27:25,174
you just get Herbie out of there

763
00:27:25,174 --> 00:27:29,207
with this extreme lashing
out from Aunt Freaky.

764
00:27:29,207 --> 00:27:32,225
Parcel steps out, turns to
look at you, KoKoMo, and nods

765
00:27:32,225 --> 00:27:34,935
and turns to look at you,
Herbie, nods, and begins to walk

766
00:27:34,935 --> 00:27:37,259
back to another section
of the History Heap.

767
00:27:37,259 --> 00:27:38,210
- [Oscar] Parcel.

768
00:27:39,177 --> 00:27:40,076
- Hm?

769
00:27:40,076 --> 00:27:43,717
- I would request you to find
as much information as you can

770
00:27:43,717 --> 00:27:46,540
about be'ach.

771
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:48,910
(players snickering)

772
00:27:48,910 --> 00:27:52,380
And send all of the paperwork
to KoKoMo, if possible.

773
00:27:52,380 --> 00:27:55,176
- [Brennan] Uh, KoKoMo,
before you arrived,

774
00:27:55,176 --> 00:27:57,619
we were in conversation with Aunt Freaky,

775
00:27:57,619 --> 00:28:02,619
and she communicated much of the lore

776
00:28:02,926 --> 00:28:05,170
of a word that I've heard you say before.

777
00:28:05,170 --> 00:28:06,725
You've referred to this many times.

778
00:28:06,725 --> 00:28:07,799
A place that you were searching for

779
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:10,594
that has sort of mythic
potentiality to it.

780
00:28:10,594 --> 00:28:11,427
- Beach?

781
00:28:11,427 --> 00:28:12,260
- Is that how you say it?

782
00:28:12,260 --> 00:28:13,139
- Beach.

783
00:28:13,139 --> 00:28:13,972
- Beech.

784
00:28:13,972 --> 00:28:15,013
- [Oscar] Oh.
- Beach.

785
00:28:15,013 --> 00:28:16,526
- Aunt Freaky says it differently.

786
00:28:16,526 --> 00:28:19,369
- Aunt Freaky is wrong on many things.

787
00:28:19,369 --> 00:28:21,397
- Beach. Very well.

788
00:28:21,397 --> 00:28:26,201
I shall accumulate as
much beach lore as I can.

789
00:28:26,201 --> 00:28:27,034
- Parcel?

790
00:28:27,034 --> 00:28:28,168
- Mm-hmm.

791
00:28:28,168 --> 00:28:29,820
- Try not to be a bad friend again.

792
00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:33,225
(dramatic impact pounds)
- Give me Determination,

793
00:28:33,225 --> 00:28:35,860
difficulty of five.

794
00:28:35,860 --> 00:28:36,693
(die taps table)

795
00:28:36,693 --> 00:28:37,594
- I'm Bungling it.

796
00:28:37,594 --> 00:28:38,708
(Brennan gasps)
- Four.

797
00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:39,775
- [Brennan] Four.
(sad guitar string twangs)

798
00:28:39,775 --> 00:28:41,352
How do you Bungle in this moment?

799
00:28:42,385 --> 00:28:44,071
- I stand in front of...

800
00:28:44,071 --> 00:28:47,920
I stand in between of
KoKoMo and Parcel and I say,

801
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,681
that's enough.

802
00:28:49,681 --> 00:28:50,514
- Wow.

803
00:28:51,711 --> 00:28:53,828
That moment of tension.

804
00:28:53,828 --> 00:28:54,681
As you see-

805
00:28:54,681 --> 00:28:55,537
- Oh.
- [Brennan] As you attempt

806
00:28:55,537 --> 00:29:00,537
to advocate on Herbie's
behalf, Herbie gets in the way.

807
00:29:03,030 --> 00:29:04,665
And I'll ask, in this instance.

808
00:29:04,665 --> 00:29:06,309
I know there's getting
a lot of these in a row.

809
00:29:06,309 --> 00:29:10,543
I'll ask for one more Awareness
check, difficulty of eight.

810
00:29:12,260 --> 00:29:13,093
- Two.

811
00:29:13,093 --> 00:29:13,963
- 18.

812
00:29:13,963 --> 00:29:17,947
- You see that Parcel's eyes
well up with tears as they go,

813
00:29:17,947 --> 00:29:18,780
"Beach lore."

814
00:29:18,780 --> 00:29:20,577
And you see that they reach up

815
00:29:20,577 --> 00:29:23,594
to something inside one of
their robes and touch something

816
00:29:23,594 --> 00:29:26,877
that appears to be like an
article of either clothing

817
00:29:26,877 --> 00:29:31,470
or jewelry that is hidden
inside of their garb or attire,

818
00:29:31,470 --> 00:29:33,204
and they head out.

819
00:29:33,204 --> 00:29:37,204
At this moment, I think
Quinn, Connor, and Hugi,

820
00:29:38,190 --> 00:29:40,911
you're sort of out a little
ways on one of the main drags

821
00:29:40,911 --> 00:29:43,313
through the stacks of books everywhere

822
00:29:43,313 --> 00:29:45,473
and reunite with KoKoMo and Herbie.

823
00:29:45,473 --> 00:29:46,823
As the group begins to reunite,

824
00:29:46,823 --> 00:29:48,220
I'm gonna need a d4 roll from you, Jacob,

825
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:50,577
and a d4 roll from you, Oscar, as well.

826
00:29:51,594 --> 00:29:52,709
- One.

827
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:53,542
- Two.

828
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:55,298
- [Brennan] Two. That
is for a total of three.

829
00:29:55,298 --> 00:29:59,984
The fabric of the Gladlands

830
00:29:59,984 --> 00:30:01,518
is a tenuous one

831
00:30:01,518 --> 00:30:06,185
and one that requires careful
work, attention, kindness.

832
00:30:08,229 --> 00:30:10,704
And I think you can feel in this moment

833
00:30:10,704 --> 00:30:15,704
panic, paranoia, keeping
important feelings internal.

834
00:30:16,050 --> 00:30:18,697
You know, this intercession to stop KoKoMo

835
00:30:18,697 --> 00:30:22,427
for standing up on your
behalf, things left unsaid,

836
00:30:22,427 --> 00:30:25,864
Parcel's silence, Aunt Freaky's outburst.

837
00:30:25,864 --> 00:30:29,520
As the social fabric
of the Gladlands frays,

838
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,614
we move the Bummerometer into
the red for the first time.

839
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:35,967
- No!
- Oh no!

840
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:39,548
- [Brennan] On that roll, we
reduce the Good Goo by three.

841
00:30:39,548 --> 00:30:40,578
(players sigh)

842
00:30:40,578 --> 00:30:41,500
- [Jacob] Damn.

843
00:30:41,500 --> 00:30:42,349
- Oh.

844
00:30:42,349 --> 00:30:43,231
- No!

845
00:30:43,231 --> 00:30:44,151
- Pizza.

846
00:30:44,151 --> 00:30:45,742
- Pizza.
(Brennan laughs)

847
00:30:45,742 --> 00:30:46,801
- [Kimia] What the heck?

848
00:30:46,801 --> 00:30:49,462
- Can I get a reminder on this guy?

849
00:30:49,462 --> 00:30:50,295
- [Brennan] The Bummerometer?

850
00:30:50,295 --> 00:30:51,229
- Yeah, what is happening

851
00:30:51,229 --> 00:30:54,985
when we get to the other
side of that again?

852
00:30:54,985 --> 00:30:57,465
- A critical all the way to
the end of the Bummerometer

853
00:30:57,465 --> 00:31:00,062
will reduce the Good Goo to zero.

854
00:31:00,062 --> 00:31:00,895
(dramatic impact pounds)
- Oh!

855
00:31:00,895 --> 00:31:01,842
- To zero?

856
00:31:01,842 --> 00:31:02,675
- [Kimia] To zero.

857
00:31:02,675 --> 00:31:03,508
- Okay.

858
00:31:03,508 --> 00:31:04,808
- No more pizza.

859
00:31:04,808 --> 00:31:07,755
- Well, hey, let's not say
that. (laughs nervously)

860
00:31:07,755 --> 00:31:09,663
- Could have been eight if
you both rolled fours, so.

861
00:31:09,663 --> 00:31:11,027
- It could have been eight, you're right.

862
00:31:11,027 --> 00:31:11,985
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Right.

863
00:31:11,985 --> 00:31:13,123
- Dang.

864
00:31:13,123 --> 00:31:14,827
- Going into the red for the first time,

865
00:31:14,827 --> 00:31:17,700
I would like to draw everyone's
attention to the fact

866
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:22,337
that you all also have your
own personal Bummerometers

867
00:31:22,337 --> 00:31:23,545
in front of you.
- [Kimia] Hm?

868
00:31:23,545 --> 00:31:24,378
- Oh!

869
00:31:24,378 --> 00:31:25,211
- No.

870
00:31:25,211 --> 00:31:26,793
- Whoa!
(Oscar laughing)

871
00:31:26,793 --> 00:31:28,267
- What I would like for us to do here is,

872
00:31:28,267 --> 00:31:31,265
how many points of Burnout

873
00:31:31,265 --> 00:31:33,005
are shared amongst the group right now?

874
00:31:33,005 --> 00:31:33,838
- [Kimia] Vic?

875
00:31:33,838 --> 00:31:37,524
- Burnout does not count for
your d4, right? Or is that-

876
00:31:37,524 --> 00:31:38,623
- It does not count for your d4.

877
00:31:38,623 --> 00:31:39,683
- Okay, then three.

878
00:31:39,683 --> 00:31:40,516
- [Brennan] Three.

879
00:31:40,516 --> 00:31:41,474
- I have one.
- [Brennan] One.

880
00:31:41,474 --> 00:31:45,466
I would like all four of
you, one, two, three, four,

881
00:31:45,466 --> 00:31:48,685
to each roll a d4 for
me, if you'd be so kind.

882
00:31:48,685 --> 00:31:50,729
(tense uneasy music)

883
00:31:50,729 --> 00:31:51,731
(die clatters)

884
00:31:51,731 --> 00:31:53,306
- Why? I can't roll today.

885
00:31:53,306 --> 00:31:54,741
- Two. The fours are hard.

886
00:31:54,741 --> 00:31:56,520
- Too strong, too powerful.
- [Ally] Fours are hard.

887
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,353
- One.

888
00:31:57,353 --> 00:32:00,203
- [Brennan] Three, great. Two, two, three.

889
00:32:01,069 --> 00:32:03,779
If you'd be so kind, Zac,
can you roll 2d4 for me?

890
00:32:03,779 --> 00:32:05,182
(players groan)
- Oh no.

891
00:32:05,182 --> 00:32:07,145
- You're rolling four.
- Vic!

892
00:32:07,145 --> 00:32:08,204
- Oh my gosh.

893
00:32:08,204 --> 00:32:09,390
- This feels like déjà vu.

894
00:32:09,390 --> 00:32:10,223
- Two ones!

895
00:32:10,223 --> 00:32:11,056
- [Brennan] Two ones.
- [Oscar] Oh, dang.

896
00:32:11,056 --> 00:32:15,126
- Incredible. So for
Connor, Tess, and Quinn,

897
00:32:15,126 --> 00:32:17,592
I'd like you to move up your
Bummerometers just to two.

898
00:32:17,592 --> 00:32:18,960
You're still in the green.

899
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:19,793
- Tight.

900
00:32:19,793 --> 00:32:21,310
- [Brennan] All of you
are still in the green.

901
00:32:21,310 --> 00:32:22,607
- Oh, I'm in two?

902
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:23,574
- [Brennan] You're at two as well,

903
00:32:23,574 --> 00:32:25,776
so even with that extra die
of Burnout, you're okay.

904
00:32:25,776 --> 00:32:28,066
I'd like you to move yours to three,

905
00:32:28,066 --> 00:32:30,956
which is right on the lip
between yellow and green,

906
00:32:30,956 --> 00:32:32,294
which feels appropriate for
where Herbie's at right now.

907
00:32:32,294 --> 00:32:33,531
- Yeah, makes sense.

908
00:32:33,531 --> 00:32:34,617
- [Brennan] KoKoMo, what did you roll?

909
00:32:34,617 --> 00:32:35,477
- I rolled a one.

910
00:32:35,477 --> 00:32:36,828
- Then just move your
Bummerometer to a one.

911
00:32:36,828 --> 00:32:38,622
KoKoMo doing the best
out of everybody here,

912
00:32:38,622 --> 00:32:40,611
but now with the red in the Bummerometer,

913
00:32:40,611 --> 00:32:44,305
everyone's individual
Bummerometers get up even higher.

914
00:32:44,305 --> 00:32:47,118
I'm gonna need 4d4 rolled for Hugi.

915
00:32:47,118 --> 00:32:49,271
- Oh my god, Vic!
(Kimia yelps nervously)

916
00:32:49,271 --> 00:32:50,393
- [Vic] Okay. (sighs)

917
00:32:51,326 --> 00:32:53,518
- Oh!
- Four, three, four, three.

918
00:32:53,518 --> 00:32:54,502
- Oh!
- [Kimia] Oh my goodness.

919
00:32:54,502 --> 00:32:59,046
- [Brennan] That's gonna be
14. As you are walking up-

920
00:32:59,046 --> 00:33:00,079
- That's off the chart.

921
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:00,945
- Yeah.
- Okay.

922
00:33:00,945 --> 00:33:03,197
- I'm gonna need you to
go all the way to a 10

923
00:33:03,197 --> 00:33:04,573
on the Bummerometer.

924
00:33:04,573 --> 00:33:06,767
- [Jacob] It's over 9,000!
- [Kimia] Oh, what? Wait...

925
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:07,600
(Kimia groans)

926
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,600
- And we're gonna drop one, two, three-

927
00:33:12,753 --> 00:33:15,776
- This is tragedy.
- [Brennan] Four.

928
00:33:15,776 --> 00:33:17,274
The excess rolled-

929
00:33:17,274 --> 00:33:18,107
- Goes into...

930
00:33:18,107 --> 00:33:19,226
- [Brennan] Goes into the Good Goo.

931
00:33:19,226 --> 00:33:20,627
- Oh my god.
- [Vic] Yeah.

932
00:33:20,627 --> 00:33:22,245
- I can make it less.
- Tough but fair.

933
00:33:22,245 --> 00:33:23,435
- Do we wanna make it less?
- Tough but fair.

934
00:33:23,435 --> 00:33:24,602
- Or should I save it?

935
00:33:24,602 --> 00:33:25,435
- [Jacob] What do you mean?

936
00:33:25,435 --> 00:33:26,490
- [Vic] I'll order-
- My teddy can make it less.

937
00:33:26,490 --> 00:33:28,722
- I'm gonna order a pizza, I decided.

938
00:33:28,722 --> 00:33:30,130
- The Good Goo.
- Make it less!

939
00:33:30,130 --> 00:33:31,605
- Like less of a-
- Is it once per session?

940
00:33:31,605 --> 00:33:33,928
- Yeah, per session so I could
save it, save it, save it.

941
00:33:33,928 --> 00:33:37,261
- If the Bummerometer
for the Gladlands overall

942
00:33:37,261 --> 00:33:41,521
reaches maximum value, the
Good Goo will drop to zero

943
00:33:41,521 --> 00:33:44,851
and anyone whose personal
Bummerometer is in the red

944
00:33:44,851 --> 00:33:49,568
will experience catastrophe
and retire from the game.

945
00:33:49,568 --> 00:33:51,375
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Stop! Stop!

946
00:33:51,375 --> 00:33:53,304
- Not my friend! No!

947
00:33:53,304 --> 00:33:54,479
- Right, but we're not there.

948
00:33:54,479 --> 00:33:56,248
- [Ally] So those are our stakes?

949
00:33:56,248 --> 00:33:57,539
- [Jacob] We're not there. Plenty of room.

950
00:33:57,539 --> 00:33:58,372
- We're not there.
- Plenty of time.

951
00:33:58,372 --> 00:33:59,205
- Look at that.
- Plenty of stuff to do.

952
00:33:59,205 --> 00:34:01,542
- Five points! Let's drop it
two more points just for fun!

953
00:34:01,542 --> 00:34:03,386
- We gotta figure it out.
(Brennan laughing)

954
00:34:03,386 --> 00:34:04,300
- We're fine.

955
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:05,748
- [Kimia] Okay.
(Oscar sighs deeply)

956
00:34:05,748 --> 00:34:07,002
- I think as we rejoin,

957
00:34:07,002 --> 00:34:08,580
if I'm not pressing too far forward,

958
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:11,711
I think this is a big deal for KoKoMo.

959
00:34:11,711 --> 00:34:14,326
I don't think that- I don't
know if it ever ticks up.

960
00:34:14,326 --> 00:34:16,425
And so I think for the first time

961
00:34:16,425 --> 00:34:18,482
as he's joining back with his friends,

962
00:34:18,482 --> 00:34:22,732
you see him take a giant-
He gets almost Kirby-esque.

963
00:34:22,732 --> 00:34:24,536
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- And he yells and he says,

964
00:34:24,536 --> 00:34:27,201
we'd always said that
we'd be good friends!

965
00:34:27,201 --> 00:34:30,618
(intense dramatic music)

966
00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:34,165
- No, stop.

967
00:34:34,165 --> 00:34:34,998
We stop him.

968
00:34:34,998 --> 00:34:36,456
- Stop.

969
00:34:36,456 --> 00:34:37,289
- Oh.

970
00:34:37,289 --> 00:34:38,683
- What happened?

971
00:34:38,683 --> 00:34:40,108
And you can you guys just fill us in?

972
00:34:40,108 --> 00:34:42,241
However much you would be
comfortable filling us in,

973
00:34:42,241 --> 00:34:43,074
what would you tell us?

974
00:34:43,074 --> 00:34:45,901
- As you are about to fill
in, you guys hear a noise.

975
00:34:45,901 --> 00:34:46,741
(monstrous scream echoes)

976
00:34:46,741 --> 00:34:49,814
And we're gonna go over to Tess.

977
00:34:49,814 --> 00:34:54,809
Tess, staring you down in the stacks,

978
00:34:54,809 --> 00:34:56,825
(menacing suspenseful music)
you see a massive,

979
00:34:56,825 --> 00:35:00,144
it's probably a good foot
and a half taller than you

980
00:35:00,144 --> 00:35:03,538
and easily two and a half times as broad.

981
00:35:03,538 --> 00:35:05,931
Like, tall and wide,

982
00:35:05,931 --> 00:35:08,120
this massive bug.
- [Kimia] Okay, sure.

983
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,787
(Brennan snarls and snorts)

984
00:35:12,963 --> 00:35:14,092
Hello.

985
00:35:14,092 --> 00:35:15,593
(menacing music intensifies)

986
00:35:15,593 --> 00:35:17,758
(Brennan roars)

987
00:35:17,758 --> 00:35:20,854
- Wind rattles past.
Books fly off the shelves.

988
00:35:20,854 --> 00:35:24,377
And all of you guys hear that roar.

989
00:35:24,377 --> 00:35:25,210
- [Ally] We run to it.

990
00:35:25,210 --> 00:35:26,324
- We, I mean, yeah.
- [Brennan] You start running.

991
00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:28,780
- [Vic] Yeah.
- But it's a distance away

992
00:35:28,780 --> 00:35:30,277
because of all the time that had to elapse

993
00:35:30,277 --> 00:35:31,818
for you guys to have
those interactions that-

994
00:35:31,818 --> 00:35:34,144
- I'm walking my dirt
bike up at this point.

995
00:35:34,144 --> 00:35:35,477
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- My god! (laughs)

996
00:35:35,477 --> 00:35:36,922
- You're pretty far behind just like-

997
00:35:36,922 --> 00:35:39,322
- [Brennan] You see the
bug looks at you and goes,

998
00:35:39,322 --> 00:35:40,754
(growls)

999
00:35:40,754 --> 00:35:43,000
"Where's Uncle Pus?"

1000
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,792
- Yeah, where is Uncle P...

1001
00:35:45,792 --> 00:35:47,182
Where's Uncle Pus?

1002
00:35:47,182 --> 00:35:48,048
- Don't lie to me!

1003
00:35:48,048 --> 00:35:49,131
- I'm not.

1004
00:35:49,131 --> 00:35:51,736
I actually don't know where Uncle Pus is,

1005
00:35:51,736 --> 00:35:54,302
and we have the same goal, so
if you're mad, I can help you.

1006
00:35:54,302 --> 00:35:56,556
I also wanna know where Uncle Pus is.

1007
00:35:56,556 --> 00:35:59,667
- Give me Charm, difficulty of 15.

1008
00:35:59,667 --> 00:36:01,754
- [Vic] We're not there yet?

1009
00:36:01,754 --> 00:36:02,929
- (stammering) I have a four.

1010
00:36:02,929 --> 00:36:03,762
- I believe in you.

1011
00:36:03,762 --> 00:36:05,104
- I have a four.
- [Zac] Explode?

1012
00:36:05,104 --> 00:36:05,937
- Four!
- That's a four!

1013
00:36:05,937 --> 00:36:07,480
- Four! It blows up.
(engine revving)

1014
00:36:08,388 --> 00:36:09,674
- Two!
- Yeah!

1015
00:36:09,674 --> 00:36:10,982
- [Brennan] Go ahead and take a Boo-Boo.

1016
00:36:10,982 --> 00:36:12,396
- Yeah.
- He looks at you and says,

1017
00:36:12,396 --> 00:36:15,063
"Same team? No one's on my team.

1018
00:36:15,996 --> 00:36:19,090
You ever seen him? Don't lie to me."

1019
00:36:19,090 --> 00:36:22,068
- I'm not gonna lie. I actually can't lie.

1020
00:36:22,068 --> 00:36:25,319
I'm one of those "too stupid to lie" guys.

1021
00:36:25,319 --> 00:36:26,296
I've seen him.

1022
00:36:26,296 --> 00:36:27,254
- I'm gonna need a Resilience roll versus-

1023
00:36:27,254 --> 00:36:28,381
- One of those.
- [Oscar] One of those.

1024
00:36:28,381 --> 00:36:31,058
- One of those.
- Too stupid to lie. (laughs)

1025
00:36:31,058 --> 00:36:34,423
- It's gonna be Resilience
versus Postapocalyptic Mayhem.

1026
00:36:34,423 --> 00:36:36,478
- Oh my god!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait,

1027
00:36:36,478 --> 00:36:37,898
wait, wait.
- Do a flip or something.

1028
00:36:37,898 --> 00:36:39,711
- Wait, hang on. So I'm rolling what?

1029
00:36:39,711 --> 00:36:40,559
- You're rolling 1d20.

1030
00:36:40,559 --> 00:36:41,912
He gets to roll two and take the higher.

1031
00:36:41,912 --> 00:36:43,971
- So you need to beat a
12 on a Resilience check.

1032
00:36:43,971 --> 00:36:44,804
- You got this. Easy.

1033
00:36:44,804 --> 00:36:45,732
- [Jacob] Bang, bang, bang, bang.

1034
00:36:45,732 --> 00:36:47,283
- Five.
(Ally groans)

1035
00:36:47,283 --> 00:36:48,871
(Oscar laughing)

1036
00:36:48,871 --> 00:36:51,777
- All of you running, there's
five of you that are running.

1037
00:36:51,777 --> 00:36:56,706
We need three of you to roll
an 11 or higher on a d20

1038
00:36:56,706 --> 00:36:59,425
for you guys to make
it in this next round.

1039
00:36:59,425 --> 00:37:00,258
(Kimia groaning)

1040
00:37:00,258 --> 00:37:03,505
- Can I say that I have, once
we hear the scream and noises,

1041
00:37:03,505 --> 00:37:06,156
once noises are happening,
I'm on my dirt bike

1042
00:37:06,156 --> 00:37:07,627
and I've turned it on.

1043
00:37:07,627 --> 00:37:08,553
(engine revving)
- Yes. Hell yeah.

1044
00:37:08,553 --> 00:37:09,386
And you are taking off.

1045
00:37:09,386 --> 00:37:12,735
I'm actually gonna say, I'll start here.

1046
00:37:12,735 --> 00:37:16,930
Because it's taking a while,
I'm going to need three

1047
00:37:16,930 --> 00:37:19,404
out of five of you to
roll an 11 or higher.

1048
00:37:19,404 --> 00:37:23,764
Connor, if you wanna take off,
you can get there immediately

1049
00:37:23,764 --> 00:37:28,168
on the dirt bike, but it'll
be three out of four of you

1050
00:37:28,168 --> 00:37:29,798
need to roll to get there in time.

1051
00:37:29,798 --> 00:37:32,203
- If dirt bike is a relative of Connor's,

1052
00:37:32,203 --> 00:37:34,786
can dirt bike also have a roll?

1053
00:37:35,817 --> 00:37:38,038
- Cannot knock the hustle, and no.

1054
00:37:38,038 --> 00:37:39,195
- Okay.
- [Brennan] But love it.

1055
00:37:39,195 --> 00:37:41,334
- And just to be clear,
my dirt bike is not...

1056
00:37:41,334 --> 00:37:42,231
I'm not related to this dirt bike.

1057
00:37:42,231 --> 00:37:43,676
- I'm sorry. Yeah, I just-

1058
00:37:43,676 --> 00:37:45,359
- It's not a cousin, it's not an auntie.

1059
00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:46,192
- [Zac] This is-
- [Vic] Yeah.

1060
00:37:46,192 --> 00:37:47,025
- [Jacob] Not a pop-pop.

1061
00:37:47,025 --> 00:37:49,762
- This is just a dirt bike.
- Yeah, okay. Sorry.

1062
00:37:49,762 --> 00:37:51,370
- So Connor, are you just like,

1063
00:37:51,370 --> 00:37:52,592
"I gotta get there as fast as possible"?

1064
00:37:52,592 --> 00:37:53,648
(Zac mimics engine whining)

1065
00:37:53,648 --> 00:37:54,698
Cool.
- I think it's go time.

1066
00:37:54,698 --> 00:37:56,326
- [Brennan] It is go time.
Connor, you take off.

1067
00:37:56,326 --> 00:37:57,172
That's definitely the right call

1068
00:37:57,172 --> 00:37:59,919
because the odds are not in your favor.

1069
00:37:59,919 --> 00:38:00,752
- The odds aren't on-

1070
00:38:00,752 --> 00:38:01,585
- [Brennan] Even with five people.

1071
00:38:01,585 --> 00:38:02,418
- Yeah.

1072
00:38:02,418 --> 00:38:03,445
- [Brennan] And someone needs
to get to Tess right now.

1073
00:38:03,445 --> 00:38:04,278
- [Zac] I'll get there or I'm gonna die.

1074
00:38:04,278 --> 00:38:06,220
- [Brennan] So we're looking
for three out of four. KoKoMo-

1075
00:38:06,220 --> 00:38:08,244
- I rolled a 12.
- [Brennan] Hugi, Quinn.

1076
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:09,507
- [Ally] Okay.
- Nine.

1077
00:38:09,507 --> 00:38:10,411
- [Brennan] Nine.
- Yes! 19.

1078
00:38:10,411 --> 00:38:11,244
- [Brennan] 19.

1079
00:38:11,244 --> 00:38:12,077
- [Jacob] I rolled a 12.
- 16!

1080
00:38:12,077 --> 00:38:14,311
- 16, incredible! All right,
everyone made the right call.

1081
00:38:14,311 --> 00:38:16,189
(Jacob high fives himself)
So Connor's gonna get there

1082
00:38:16,189 --> 00:38:17,212
and then the other four-
- [Jacob] We're gonna get it.

1083
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:18,045
- [Brennan] ...will get
there right after Connor.

1084
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:19,104
- We'll get one.
- We're gonna get one.

1085
00:38:19,104 --> 00:38:19,937
- We're gonna get one.

1086
00:38:19,937 --> 00:38:21,202
- [Oscar] It hasn't happened yet, has it?

1087
00:38:21,202 --> 00:38:25,047
- With that, Tess, on
failing that Resilience check

1088
00:38:25,047 --> 00:38:28,462
by five or more, go ahead
and roll a d4 for me.

1089
00:38:28,462 --> 00:38:29,477
- Today sucks.

1090
00:38:29,477 --> 00:38:30,636
- Yeah.

1091
00:38:30,636 --> 00:38:31,469
- [Jacob] Shit.

1092
00:38:31,469 --> 00:38:32,302
- One!
- One, one.

1093
00:38:32,302 --> 00:38:33,135
- [Brennan] One.
- Yeah.

1094
00:38:33,135 --> 00:38:34,768
- [Brennan] We're gonna tick
up from a two to a three

1095
00:38:34,768 --> 00:38:35,723
on your Bummerometer.

1096
00:38:35,723 --> 00:38:37,800
- [Ally] We're good.
- Okay, yeah.

1097
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,375
- [Brennan] So you see that
this massive beetle goes,

1098
00:38:42,375 --> 00:38:43,660
(surging rock music)

1099
00:38:43,660 --> 00:38:47,769
(grunts) "Nobody messes with Breaker!"

1100
00:38:47,769 --> 00:38:50,468
(impact echoes) And slams
through to the ground.

1101
00:38:50,468 --> 00:38:53,894
Boom! This is the hardest
you've been hit in your life.

1102
00:38:53,894 --> 00:38:56,451
(players gasp)

1103
00:38:56,451 --> 00:38:57,989
- A chance to feel pain?

1104
00:38:57,989 --> 00:39:00,231
- A chance to feel pain.
- [Oscar] An opportunity.

1105
00:39:00,231 --> 00:39:02,433
- [Ally] Yeah, wow. Beautiful.
- Whipping around the corner,

1106
00:39:02,433 --> 00:39:04,441
ahead of the pack, Connor Kawasaki.

1107
00:39:04,441 --> 00:39:05,274
(Zac mimics motor whining)

1108
00:39:05,274 --> 00:39:06,467
- Yeah, he's doing the full turns,

1109
00:39:06,467 --> 00:39:09,129
like, almost touching the ground.

1110
00:39:09,129 --> 00:39:10,083
(Brennan mimics engine revving)

1111
00:39:10,083 --> 00:39:11,963
- On the shelves.
- Sorry, sorry. Ssh, ssh.

1112
00:39:11,963 --> 00:39:13,134
- [Oscar] Sorry. (laughs)
- Connor,

1113
00:39:13,134 --> 00:39:15,677
you see this massive bug man.
- [Zac] Be quiet!

1114
00:39:15,677 --> 00:39:18,452
- Rhinoceros beetle bug man whips around.

1115
00:39:18,452 --> 00:39:19,375
- Shit!

1116
00:39:19,375 --> 00:39:21,688
(players laughing)

1117
00:39:21,688 --> 00:39:23,656
- [Brennan] What do you
do? It's your time to act.

1118
00:39:23,656 --> 00:39:24,489
- I'm looking for Tess.

1119
00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:27,953
I'm gonna try to grab
Tess's arm and wheel-

1120
00:39:27,953 --> 00:39:29,617
- Give me Postapocalyptic Mayhem.

1121
00:39:29,617 --> 00:39:33,259
- All right.
(mimics engine revving)

1122
00:39:33,259 --> 00:39:35,260
17.
- 17. Hell yes.

1123
00:39:35,260 --> 00:39:38,856
That is a flawless
success. You whip under.

1124
00:39:38,856 --> 00:39:40,794
Describe for me how you free Tess

1125
00:39:40,794 --> 00:39:42,756
from the clutches of this massive bug man.

1126
00:39:42,756 --> 00:39:47,352
- I fully launch into a
shelf of books that falls

1127
00:39:47,352 --> 00:39:49,343
and as its falling, uses it as a ramp

1128
00:39:49,343 --> 00:39:53,637
to do sort of a backflip
and let go in the sky.

1129
00:39:53,637 --> 00:39:56,166
(Ally laughing)
Grab onto the handles again.

1130
00:39:56,166 --> 00:39:57,291
It didn't help anything, but-

1131
00:39:57,291 --> 00:39:59,110
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
- Yeah.

1132
00:39:59,110 --> 00:40:02,355
- And just reach out to Tess's arm.

1133
00:40:02,355 --> 00:40:04,135
- So I reach out, but before we grab,

1134
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:05,738
I gotta do a sick dap up

1135
00:40:05,738 --> 00:40:09,274
'cause that was such a good move, dude!

1136
00:40:09,274 --> 00:40:11,769
- It doesn't help us grab
each other's hands at all.

1137
00:40:12,919 --> 00:40:14,344
- (slaps fist) Yeah, dude, Yes!

1138
00:40:14,344 --> 00:40:15,602
- Okay!

1139
00:40:15,602 --> 00:40:19,618
And then whip Tess around to
kick him in the face. (laughs)

1140
00:40:19,618 --> 00:40:21,567
- Ow! Ah.

1141
00:40:21,567 --> 00:40:22,986
- Not Tess, but kick Tess.
- [Brennan] Yes.

1142
00:40:22,986 --> 00:40:25,774
- Oh, oh, okay. (laughs)

1143
00:40:25,774 --> 00:40:27,380
- [Brennan] Hell yes.
- I kick Tess in the face.

1144
00:40:27,380 --> 00:40:28,605
- [Ally] I kick Tess in
the face really fast.

1145
00:40:28,605 --> 00:40:30,536
- You rescue, with this awesome flip,

1146
00:40:30,536 --> 00:40:33,799
rescue Tess from underneath Breaker.

1147
00:40:33,799 --> 00:40:37,728
Tess, you have one action
before Breaker will go again

1148
00:40:37,728 --> 00:40:39,484
and then the four of you will arrive.

1149
00:40:39,484 --> 00:40:40,643
- Whoa.

1150
00:40:40,643 --> 00:40:42,726
- Whoa. Okay, one action.

1151
00:40:44,173 --> 00:40:46,422
Okay, I don't wanna hurt this guy.

1152
00:40:46,422 --> 00:40:51,119
I just want him to stop from
doing any more big moves.

1153
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:53,072
I think I'm gonna try to
level with him one more time

1154
00:40:53,072 --> 00:40:55,357
even though I'm so bad at it, so...

1155
00:40:55,357 --> 00:40:56,428
- If you wanna try to level with him

1156
00:40:56,428 --> 00:40:59,310
you can also attempt
Warmth here, if you want.

1157
00:40:59,310 --> 00:41:00,894
- Okay.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.

1158
00:41:02,826 --> 00:41:03,659
- Yeah.

1159
00:41:03,659 --> 00:41:05,966
- Give me Warmth. Difficulty is still 15.

1160
00:41:07,849 --> 00:41:09,422
- Five. Okay, so.

1161
00:41:09,422 --> 00:41:10,880
- [Brennan] Go ahead and
take another Boo-Boo.

1162
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,281
How do you attempt to connect
with him in this moment?

1163
00:41:13,281 --> 00:41:14,793
- I'm gonna go, hey!

1164
00:41:14,793 --> 00:41:15,865
(Brennan snarls)

1165
00:41:15,865 --> 00:41:17,861
(Kimia ululating)

1166
00:41:17,861 --> 00:41:19,504
- Oh.

1167
00:41:19,504 --> 00:41:23,671
- On a five, which is a
failure by more than five,

1168
00:41:25,227 --> 00:41:28,350
Breaker hears you go- (ululates)

1169
00:41:28,350 --> 00:41:32,000
You see mandibles extend
and you hear- (hissing)

1170
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,138
- Oh, made it worse! Worked with Ash.

1171
00:41:35,138 --> 00:41:36,932
- As you say, "Worked with Ash,"

1172
00:41:36,932 --> 00:41:38,989
you see that Breaker goes, "Ash?"

1173
00:41:38,989 --> 00:41:40,462
- [Oscar] Oh.
- Uh...

1174
00:41:40,462 --> 00:41:41,439
- [Brennan] And in the distance you hear-

1175
00:41:41,439 --> 00:41:42,272
- Dude!

1176
00:41:42,272 --> 00:41:43,189
- [Brennan] In the distance you hear-

1177
00:41:43,189 --> 00:41:45,905
- Dude!
- You hear (ululating)

1178
00:41:45,905 --> 00:41:47,719
of Ash repeating your call back to you.

1179
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,828
- No! I called her to the den of danger!

1180
00:41:50,828 --> 00:41:53,495
(Brennan and Jacob laughing)

1181
00:41:53,495 --> 00:41:55,223
Oh no!
- [Vic] Oh no!

1182
00:41:55,223 --> 00:41:57,333
- Tess, are you okay?

1183
00:41:57,333 --> 00:42:00,529
- It is Breaker's turn,
and you see he says,

1184
00:42:00,529 --> 00:42:03,758
(snarls) "The little one, she'll know."

1185
00:42:05,083 --> 00:42:10,083
His wings extend and he
alights up into the air,

1186
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,579
his massive, heavy body
(grunts) surging upward

1187
00:42:14,579 --> 00:42:17,711
under these enormous, powerful
wings like a helicopter,

1188
00:42:17,711 --> 00:42:19,963
scattering books and pages everywhere.

1189
00:42:19,963 --> 00:42:22,347
On that, Connor, it is your turn again

1190
00:42:22,347 --> 00:42:25,120
as these four wheel around the corner

1191
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,500
to see pages scattering and
this massive bug monster,

1192
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:33,302
Breaker, rising into the air overhead.

1193
00:42:33,302 --> 00:42:34,754
Connor, what do you do?

1194
00:42:34,754 --> 00:42:36,521
- Let's follow him, right?

1195
00:42:36,521 --> 00:42:37,783
(engine revving)
- We have to.

1196
00:42:37,783 --> 00:42:39,503
- I'm just gonna tear off after him,

1197
00:42:39,503 --> 00:42:42,798
and understanding that it seems
like he's going after Ash,

1198
00:42:42,798 --> 00:42:46,425
I'm gonna try to ramp off and land on him.

1199
00:42:46,425 --> 00:42:49,783
- Hell yeah. We're gonna
go for it on this action.

1200
00:42:50,666 --> 00:42:55,416
Being airborne, you're gonna
roll Postapocalyptic Mayhem.

1201
00:42:56,688 --> 00:43:00,830
He is going to attempt
to resist this roll,

1202
00:43:00,830 --> 00:43:03,278
and I think he's gonna
just use his Resilience,

1203
00:43:03,278 --> 00:43:07,861
but much like Tess, he has
that +5 bug durability.

1204
00:43:09,097 --> 00:43:10,942
I'm gonna go ahead and roll right here.

1205
00:43:10,942 --> 00:43:11,854
- Hey, I haven't been using any

1206
00:43:11,854 --> 00:43:15,911
of my +5 bug durability.
- Six plus five is 11,

1207
00:43:15,911 --> 00:43:18,154
so on Postapocalyptic Mayhem,
you just need to beat an 11.

1208
00:43:18,154 --> 00:43:18,987
- Gotta start.
- [Kimia] Okay.

1209
00:43:18,987 --> 00:43:19,940
- [Oscar] You got this.
- [Ally] All right.

1210
00:43:19,940 --> 00:43:21,507
- [Kimia] Here we go.
- Come on, now.

1211
00:43:21,507 --> 00:43:22,748
(energetic rock music)

1212
00:43:22,748 --> 00:43:24,058
Does an 18 do it?

1213
00:43:24,058 --> 00:43:25,266
(Brennan and Zac laughing)

1214
00:43:25,266 --> 00:43:27,520
- Hey, does an 18 do it?

1215
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,664
- Hell yes.
(Zac mimics engine revving)

1216
00:43:29,664 --> 00:43:33,248
Right as he's about to
achieve that escape velocity

1217
00:43:33,248 --> 00:43:35,415
over the top of the books,

1218
00:43:37,003 --> 00:43:40,391
you are able to, boom, take
off of a fallen shelf, ramp,

1219
00:43:40,391 --> 00:43:43,393
and slam and grapple
him with your dirt bike

1220
00:43:43,393 --> 00:43:47,318
to the top of this 50-foot bookshelf.

1221
00:43:47,318 --> 00:43:49,006
(engine roaring)

1222
00:43:49,006 --> 00:43:51,138
(Brennan grunts and screams)

1223
00:43:51,138 --> 00:43:52,551
For the four of you, it is your turn.

1224
00:43:52,551 --> 00:43:53,638
Go ahead and roll d20s

1225
00:43:53,638 --> 00:43:55,329
just so that we can
decide turn order here.

1226
00:43:55,329 --> 00:43:56,863
(dice tap table)

1227
00:43:56,863 --> 00:43:57,877
- 14.

1228
00:43:57,877 --> 00:43:59,210
- 17.
- [Brennan] 17.

1229
00:43:59,210 --> 00:44:00,207
- Eight.
- [Brennan] Eight.

1230
00:44:00,207 --> 00:44:01,235
- Two.
- [Brennan] Two.

1231
00:44:01,235 --> 00:44:02,514
Hugi, you're first to act.

1232
00:44:02,514 --> 00:44:04,651
- Okay, as Connor was wheeling past,

1233
00:44:04,651 --> 00:44:06,902
can I have gotten my wingsuit
clipped onto the back

1234
00:44:06,902 --> 00:44:08,796
of his bike so I'm like-
- [Ally] Sick. Like a kite?

1235
00:44:08,796 --> 00:44:09,629
- ...floating behind him?

1236
00:44:09,629 --> 00:44:11,576
- [Brennan] Yeah, absolutely.
You wanna kite up after him?

1237
00:44:11,576 --> 00:44:12,538
Hell yes. Go ahead and give
me Postapocalyptic Mayhem.

1238
00:44:12,538 --> 00:44:13,602
- That's so funny!

1239
00:44:13,602 --> 00:44:14,620
- Yeah, okay.

1240
00:44:14,620 --> 00:44:15,878
- The rope just going before it pulls.

1241
00:44:15,878 --> 00:44:17,748
- [Ally] Multiple people fly.

1242
00:44:17,748 --> 00:44:18,806
- 15.

1243
00:44:18,806 --> 00:44:19,754
- [Brennan] 15.
- [Kimia] Yes!

1244
00:44:19,754 --> 00:44:22,137
- You take to the sky.

1245
00:44:22,137 --> 00:44:27,137
- Okay, great. So as I sort of like, kite,

1246
00:44:27,363 --> 00:44:30,011
I'm a kite and so I'm sort of like, I'm...

1247
00:44:30,011 --> 00:44:32,003
(Jacob laughing)
I sorta like, I wanna like...

1248
00:44:32,003 --> 00:44:32,836
- Kiting.

1249
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:33,703
- I'm a kite.

1250
00:44:33,703 --> 00:44:34,730
- That's enough.
- So I wanna like,

1251
00:44:34,730 --> 00:44:38,020
dive-bomb in underneath
to sort of get ahead

1252
00:44:38,020 --> 00:44:41,393
and then re-kite out,
that way I'm back behind.

1253
00:44:41,393 --> 00:44:43,523
And then I wanna try and roll a Charm roll

1254
00:44:43,523 --> 00:44:47,448
to see if I can defuse the
situation a little bit.

1255
00:44:47,448 --> 00:44:51,042
- Hell yes. You're gonna
give me a Charm roll here.

1256
00:44:51,042 --> 00:44:54,560
Difficulty, as it has been
so far, is gonna be 15.

1257
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,350
And I will say, you have incredible Charm.

1258
00:44:57,350 --> 00:44:59,542
With your Bummerometer in the red,

1259
00:44:59,542 --> 00:45:01,353
you don't wanna fail this by five or more.

1260
00:45:01,353 --> 00:45:02,311
- Okay.
- [Brennan] Cool?

1261
00:45:02,311 --> 00:45:03,144
- Great.

1262
00:45:03,144 --> 00:45:06,499
- But go ahead and roll.
You're looking for a 15.

1263
00:45:07,632 --> 00:45:08,564
- 10.

1264
00:45:08,564 --> 00:45:09,664
(Oscar groans)
- [Brennan] Okay.

1265
00:45:09,664 --> 00:45:10,591
- [Ally] Do you have Boo-Boos?

1266
00:45:10,591 --> 00:45:11,424
- Nope.

1267
00:45:12,633 --> 00:45:14,774
Does it seem like Ash is...

1268
00:45:14,774 --> 00:45:18,061
Would I reasonably think that Ash is in-

1269
00:45:18,061 --> 00:45:19,283
- [Brennan] Danger or?
- In like-

1270
00:45:19,283 --> 00:45:20,234
- I'd like to help.
- [Vic] Deathly danger.

1271
00:45:20,234 --> 00:45:21,067
- Yeah, that's awesome.

1272
00:45:21,067 --> 00:45:21,956
- [Brennan] You wanna help out here? Okay.

1273
00:45:21,956 --> 00:45:23,053
- Yeah, and I wanna use this hat, so-

1274
00:45:23,053 --> 00:45:23,970
- [Brennan] Okay.

1275
00:45:23,970 --> 00:45:26,525
- Once per session when I help
out while wearing this hat,

1276
00:45:26,525 --> 00:45:29,630
add the full maximum value
of my virtue die to the roll

1277
00:45:29,630 --> 00:45:30,875
(Ally gasps)
rather than half.

1278
00:45:30,875 --> 00:45:34,206
So I have a d6 in Charm as Herbie.

1279
00:45:34,206 --> 00:45:35,349
- [Brennan] As Herbie. Hell yes.

1280
00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:37,420
- Yes, so it's plus six.

1281
00:45:37,420 --> 00:45:38,712
- [Brennan] Go ahead and spend a Boo-Boo.

1282
00:45:38,712 --> 00:45:39,545
- 16.

1283
00:45:39,545 --> 00:45:40,541
- [Brennan] That gets you to a 16.

1284
00:45:40,541 --> 00:45:41,374
- [Ally] Awesome, awesome.
- [Kimia] Nice!

1285
00:45:41,374 --> 00:45:43,029
- [Brennan] How is Herbie
helping from down below here?

1286
00:45:43,029 --> 00:45:45,351
- I've seen Hugi in kite mode.

1287
00:45:45,351 --> 00:45:46,955
(players laughing)

1288
00:45:46,955 --> 00:45:47,788
- Many a-time.

1289
00:45:47,788 --> 00:45:51,646
- Many, many, many a-time, and the tactic

1290
00:45:51,646 --> 00:45:56,211
of Hugi in kite mode is to
get closer to the target

1291
00:45:56,211 --> 00:45:57,971
to be like, "Hey," you know?

1292
00:45:57,971 --> 00:46:01,526
So I know that a conversation's
about to head down.

1293
00:46:01,526 --> 00:46:04,361
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- And so I look through.

1294
00:46:04,361 --> 00:46:06,469
I just, as I'm running, I'm like,

1295
00:46:06,469 --> 00:46:10,363
'cause I'm very familiar
with History Heap, I sort of

1296
00:46:10,363 --> 00:46:12,817
flip through the books
that have been taken down

1297
00:46:12,817 --> 00:46:14,740
and I throw a book at them,

1298
00:46:14,740 --> 00:46:17,154
and the book is "How to Talk to Bugs."

1299
00:46:17,154 --> 00:46:19,492
(Brennan and Kimia laughing)

1300
00:46:19,492 --> 00:46:20,504
- Bam! The book lands in your hand.

1301
00:46:20,504 --> 00:46:21,337
- I love that book.

1302
00:46:21,337 --> 00:46:24,170
- There's some good stuff in
it. There's some good stuff.

1303
00:46:24,170 --> 00:46:25,859
- You that it opens up to a page

1304
00:46:25,859 --> 00:46:28,626
about bumblebees that
communicate through dance.

1305
00:46:28,626 --> 00:46:30,494
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Oscar laughing)

1306
00:46:30,494 --> 00:46:34,197
And so I just, so I am in
full kite mode right now

1307
00:46:34,197 --> 00:46:36,765
so I just have my hands.
(lively guitar music)

1308
00:46:36,765 --> 00:46:40,210
So I'm just gonna, yeah, do
a little bit of this like...

1309
00:46:40,210 --> 00:46:42,348
(Vic snaps fingers)
(Brennan and Ally laugh)

1310
00:46:42,348 --> 00:46:43,576
- [Ally] It's all in the wrist.

1311
00:46:44,876 --> 00:46:49,876
- I'm going to dance as well
and Bungle this because-

1312
00:46:49,888 --> 00:46:50,742
- No!

1313
00:46:50,742 --> 00:46:52,337
- What?
- She just got help!

1314
00:46:52,337 --> 00:46:53,834
- But I'm gonna use one of my-

1315
00:46:53,834 --> 00:46:54,667
- [Brennan] One of your treats? Yeah.

1316
00:46:54,667 --> 00:46:58,127
- ...larva to not make it so
that it doesn't hurt anything

1317
00:46:58,127 --> 00:46:59,632
just so I get a token.
- A Boo-Boo.

1318
00:46:59,632 --> 00:47:01,955
- Just so you get a token. Incredible.

1319
00:47:01,955 --> 00:47:02,788
- [Ally] That's how that works?

1320
00:47:02,788 --> 00:47:04,589
- Using our stuff! It's fun!
- [Brennan] Using our stuff.

1321
00:47:04,589 --> 00:47:05,672
- Yes.

1322
00:47:05,672 --> 00:47:08,493
- So everyone's dancing. You're
eating a little larva treat.

1323
00:47:08,493 --> 00:47:12,245
What does Hugi say as
Connor pins this massive bug

1324
00:47:12,245 --> 00:47:14,409
to the top of the shelf.
(mimics engine revving)

1325
00:47:14,409 --> 00:47:16,374
Tess is up there as well. You kite up.

1326
00:47:16,374 --> 00:47:19,174
The book gets thrown to you.
What do you say in this moment?

1327
00:47:19,174 --> 00:47:20,952
- I will say, hey.

1328
00:47:20,952 --> 00:47:22,117
- And you are dancing.
- Yeah.

1329
00:47:22,117 --> 00:47:24,492
Hey, hey, hey.

1330
00:47:24,492 --> 00:47:26,162
- [Brennan] Hey.
- Hey.

1331
00:47:26,162 --> 00:47:28,371
(Brennan snarls and growls)
(wings buzzing)

1332
00:47:28,371 --> 00:47:30,545
(Brennan buzzes with interest)

1333
00:47:30,545 --> 00:47:32,926
Hey, we started at a 10,
and I just wanna say,

1334
00:47:32,926 --> 00:47:34,580
let's just, let's take it down a second.

1335
00:47:34,580 --> 00:47:36,000
And I just wanna say, we're here to help.

1336
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,478
I know it seems like maybe
we've come in a little bit hot.

1337
00:47:39,478 --> 00:47:42,270
We're here to help this
situation. We're on the same...

1338
00:47:42,270 --> 00:47:43,267
Maybe I'm not gonna say same team.

1339
00:47:43,267 --> 00:47:45,418
- Don't say it!
- Okay, so I just wanna say,

1340
00:47:45,418 --> 00:47:48,460
listen, we have a
similar end goal in mind,

1341
00:47:48,460 --> 00:47:51,342
which is to make this
situation a better situation.

1342
00:47:51,342 --> 00:47:54,628
How can I help you
today? (snapping fingers)

1343
00:47:54,628 --> 00:47:55,711
- [Kimia] Oh!

1344
00:47:57,467 --> 00:48:01,649
- You see that Breaker stops
fighting for a second and says,

1345
00:48:01,649 --> 00:48:03,826
(huffs) "Get off me!
(bike motor rumbling)

1346
00:48:03,826 --> 00:48:04,729
Get this bike off me!"

1347
00:48:04,729 --> 00:48:07,060
- Hey, why don't we
get the bike off first?

1348
00:48:07,060 --> 00:48:08,169
- Get the bike off him?

1349
00:48:08,169 --> 00:48:10,632
- Yeah, let's get the bike off for a sec.

1350
00:48:10,632 --> 00:48:11,968
- You sure? Okay.

1351
00:48:11,968 --> 00:48:13,953
(bike motor rumbles to a stop)

1352
00:48:13,953 --> 00:48:15,151
And just do that thing where you like,

1353
00:48:15,151 --> 00:48:16,735
kinda awkwardly walk backwards.

1354
00:48:16,735 --> 00:48:19,356
- [Brennan] Walk backwards.
(Oscar and Ally laughing)

1355
00:48:19,356 --> 00:48:24,356
On that successful Charm
roll, you buy enough time

1356
00:48:25,140 --> 00:48:29,027
that running around, KoKoMo
and Quinn right behind you,

1357
00:48:29,027 --> 00:48:30,770
but with the time you
bought on that Charm roll,

1358
00:48:30,770 --> 00:48:33,496
you see Rubby and Ash run up.

1359
00:48:33,496 --> 00:48:36,047
Ash, thinking that Tess
was calling for her

1360
00:48:36,047 --> 00:48:38,015
and now is reunited and you
are all safe and together.

1361
00:48:38,015 --> 00:48:39,671
- How big is Ash, by the way?

1362
00:48:39,671 --> 00:48:40,629
- Tiny, tiny, tiny.
- [Kimia] Little.

1363
00:48:40,629 --> 00:48:42,518
- [Ally] I put her in
my cage with my head.

1364
00:48:42,518 --> 00:48:44,376
- [Brennan] (laughs)
Open a latch and you see-

1365
00:48:44,376 --> 00:48:45,209
- [Ally] No, no, she can fit...

1366
00:48:45,209 --> 00:48:47,189
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll open up the latch.

1367
00:48:47,189 --> 00:48:48,623
- [Brennan] Open the
latch. So it's like she-

1368
00:48:48,623 --> 00:48:50,901
- [Ally] I take a key that
I've had around my neck,

1369
00:48:50,901 --> 00:48:51,734
(Oscar gasps)

1370
00:48:51,734 --> 00:48:52,613
and I use it really quick

1371
00:48:52,613 --> 00:48:53,866
and I open up the thing.
- Wait a second.

1372
00:48:53,866 --> 00:48:54,916
- Clocked it.
- And I put Ash in there-

1373
00:48:54,916 --> 00:48:56,286
- Whoa.
- ...and I put it back.

1374
00:48:56,286 --> 00:48:57,850
- Like, unthinkingly, you just (whooshes)

1375
00:48:57,850 --> 00:48:59,588
throw her in there because she's safe.

1376
00:48:59,588 --> 00:49:02,408
No one will be able to grab
her without grabbing you too.

1377
00:49:02,408 --> 00:49:06,504
- And I'm sorry, just above
table, do we know this?

1378
00:49:06,504 --> 00:49:07,587
- No.
- [Brennan] No.

1379
00:49:07,587 --> 00:49:08,427
- So this is the first time-
- Now you know.

1380
00:49:08,427 --> 00:49:09,935
- ...the crew has heard.
- I just have the key myself.

1381
00:49:09,935 --> 00:49:13,775
- Above table, are you
cannibalistic for bugs also?

1382
00:49:13,775 --> 00:49:14,608
Is this something we should-

1383
00:49:14,608 --> 00:49:16,306
- You guys are about to watch
me have a tuna sandwich.

1384
00:49:16,306 --> 00:49:18,449
(players laughing and shouting)

1385
00:49:18,449 --> 00:49:22,522
- Throw some toast in there, a
little Dijonnaise, and I eat-

1386
00:49:22,522 --> 00:49:23,355
- Some Kewpie Mayo?

1387
00:49:23,355 --> 00:49:24,668
- No, of course not.
- No.

1388
00:49:24,668 --> 00:49:25,995
- I'm not cannibalistic for bugs.

1389
00:49:25,995 --> 00:49:28,992
- Does Quinn do this sort
of without a second thought?

1390
00:49:28,992 --> 00:49:30,228
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like reflexive

1391
00:49:30,228 --> 00:49:32,186
'cause I know that he was just flying

1392
00:49:32,186 --> 00:49:34,019
to try to get her.
- What a beautiful key!

1393
00:49:34,019 --> 00:49:35,722
(Brennan and Vic laugh)
- Yeah, it's really ornate.

1394
00:49:35,722 --> 00:49:39,341
- [Brennan] KoKoMo, give me
five Awareness down there,

1395
00:49:39,341 --> 00:49:40,572
if you'd be so kind.

1396
00:49:40,572 --> 00:49:41,714
- [Ally] Get in here, and then I-

1397
00:49:41,714 --> 00:49:42,618
- Five!
- [Brennan] Five!

1398
00:49:42,618 --> 00:49:43,700
- On the dot, baby!

1399
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:48,700
- KoKoMo, Quinn is unaware, you
are not, of the significance

1400
00:49:49,068 --> 00:49:54,043
of Quinn deciding that
someone is safer close to her

1401
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,765
than kept apart from her.

1402
00:49:56,765 --> 00:49:57,708
- KoKoMo!

1403
00:49:57,708 --> 00:49:58,853
- [Brennan] Ash jumps in there.

1404
00:49:58,853 --> 00:50:01,115
You see that Rubby jumps
up on your shoulder, Quinn,

1405
00:50:01,115 --> 00:50:02,672
and you see draws a katana
(metal slices)

1406
00:50:02,672 --> 00:50:03,862
and stands there at the ready for-

1407
00:50:03,862 --> 00:50:05,580
- Oh! (laughs)
- Oh!

1408
00:50:05,580 --> 00:50:06,914
- Guard the gate! And the gate is my face.

1409
00:50:06,914 --> 00:50:07,782
- See?

1410
00:50:07,782 --> 00:50:09,661
- The gate?
- We kinda get it now.

1411
00:50:09,661 --> 00:50:10,494
- See?

1412
00:50:10,494 --> 00:50:12,133
(cast laughing)

1413
00:50:12,133 --> 00:50:13,731
- [Kimia] Oh, it makes sense.

1414
00:50:13,731 --> 00:50:16,549
- Rubby sees Breaker standing
up, looking at you, Hugi.

1415
00:50:16,549 --> 00:50:18,286
You see Rubby from down there goes,

1416
00:50:18,286 --> 00:50:21,739
"You put a hand on her,
I'll put a thumb on you."

1417
00:50:21,739 --> 00:50:22,870
(Vic and Kimia laugh)

1418
00:50:22,870 --> 00:50:23,703
- This is huge.

1419
00:50:23,703 --> 00:50:24,536
- Dang.
- Wow.

1420
00:50:24,536 --> 00:50:26,078
- A match made in fucking hell.

1421
00:50:26,078 --> 00:50:27,565
- I totally get it.

1422
00:50:28,407 --> 00:50:30,745
- It took five episodes,
but we fucking get it now.

1423
00:50:30,745 --> 00:50:31,578
(Oscar laughs and claps)
- We get it now.

1424
00:50:31,578 --> 00:50:33,220
- I just sorta look around
at my friends like this.

1425
00:50:33,220 --> 00:50:35,524
- Well, I didn't know the
thumb guy had a cool sword.

1426
00:50:35,524 --> 00:50:38,010
(Brennan laughing)
How was one to know?

1427
00:50:38,010 --> 00:50:39,101
- How was one to know?

1428
00:50:39,101 --> 00:50:39,934
He never brings it up.

1429
00:50:39,934 --> 00:50:41,124
- It honestly changes everything.

1430
00:50:41,124 --> 00:50:43,322
- He's humble about it.
That's even hotter, dude!

1431
00:50:43,322 --> 00:50:44,839
- A little bit of valor.

1432
00:50:44,839 --> 00:50:45,996
- We're all turned on now.

1433
00:50:45,996 --> 00:50:47,167
- I know he's not the most attractive

1434
00:50:47,167 --> 00:50:48,029
when he has the sword out,

1435
00:50:48,029 --> 00:50:49,732
but imagine him without
the sword and you're-

1436
00:50:49,732 --> 00:50:51,910
- No!
- Whoa!

1437
00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:53,388
- Whoa!
- [Ally] Oh!

1438
00:50:53,388 --> 00:50:55,258
- I don't wanna do that.
(Jacob laughing)

1439
00:50:55,258 --> 00:50:56,593
You can't make me do that!

1440
00:50:56,593 --> 00:50:58,038
- You can't make me do that.

1441
00:50:58,038 --> 00:50:58,942
- When you get to know him, the sword,

1442
00:50:58,942 --> 00:51:01,682
it doesn't detract anymore,
you know what I'm saying?

1443
00:51:01,682 --> 00:51:04,046
- The only thing going for him. Okay.

1444
00:51:04,046 --> 00:51:06,503
- Breaker turns around and goes, (snorts)

1445
00:51:06,503 --> 00:51:10,460
and you see Ash goes, (gasps)
"Tess, the guy from my dream!"

1446
00:51:10,460 --> 00:51:13,589
- I know, I got it now. I didn't.

1447
00:51:13,589 --> 00:51:15,739
Actually, just a minute ago I got it,

1448
00:51:15,739 --> 00:51:17,615
and I'm so sorry I called you.

1449
00:51:17,615 --> 00:51:19,816
- "No, it's okay. I'm
glad you saved us, he..."

1450
00:51:19,816 --> 00:51:21,436
You see Breaker goes- (growls)

1451
00:51:21,436 --> 00:51:25,546
Ash calls up and says, "Hey,
you don't have to be mad!"

1452
00:51:25,546 --> 00:51:29,247
And you see he goes,
(huffs) "You wanna help me?"

1453
00:51:29,247 --> 00:51:30,080
- Yes.

1454
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:34,406
- You have to find the man
who did this. He came here.

1455
00:51:34,406 --> 00:51:35,673
(weighty dramatic music)

1456
00:51:35,673 --> 00:51:39,507
Uncle Pus. He's the one.

1457
00:51:39,507 --> 00:51:44,316
Found us and abandoned us.
He's the one who did this!

1458
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,246
I smelled him. He came here.

1459
00:51:48,246 --> 00:51:50,450
He was looking for something.

1460
00:51:50,450 --> 00:51:54,733
He was looking for something
instead of... (grunts)

1461
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,962
Well, he's gone now,

1462
00:51:57,962 --> 00:52:00,258
and I know there's a
clue to find him here.

1463
00:52:00,258 --> 00:52:03,755
- Instead of what? Say it.

1464
00:52:03,755 --> 00:52:08,028
- Give me Warmth, difficulty of 15.

1465
00:52:08,028 --> 00:52:09,172
(die taps table)

1466
00:52:09,172 --> 00:52:11,490
- 15!
(players cheering)

1467
00:52:11,490 --> 00:52:13,955
(mystical flute flutters)
- KoKoMo, he looks up at you,

1468
00:52:13,955 --> 00:52:17,110
and I think, he's
totally based in strength

1469
00:52:17,110 --> 00:52:20,733
looks at another
physically imposing figure

1470
00:52:20,733 --> 00:52:23,671
and turns around to square up with you

1471
00:52:23,671 --> 00:52:26,908
regarding this confrontation
as being potentially violent

1472
00:52:26,908 --> 00:52:29,791
or potentially like a showdown.

1473
00:52:29,791 --> 00:52:31,070
In this moment as you say that,

1474
00:52:31,070 --> 00:52:33,597
you see he looks stunned and confused.

1475
00:52:33,597 --> 00:52:37,078
What do you do as you see
him in this vulnerable state?

1476
00:52:37,078 --> 00:52:39,942
- I just play my flute to
give him some backing music

1477
00:52:39,942 --> 00:52:42,610
so he can speak his mind if he chooses to.

1478
00:52:42,610 --> 00:52:44,836
- [Brennan] You play this
flute. You see he goes-

1479
00:52:44,836 --> 00:52:45,923
♪ Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ♪
(peaceful soothing music)

1480
00:52:45,923 --> 00:52:48,476
- What do you mean, "Instead
of what?" Instead of what?

1481
00:52:48,476 --> 00:52:50,937
- You were gonna say something
but you stopped yourself.

1482
00:52:50,937 --> 00:52:52,230
Instead of what?

1483
00:52:52,230 --> 00:52:54,925
He was looking for
something instead of what?

1484
00:52:54,925 --> 00:52:56,425
- Instead of me.

1485
00:52:58,450 --> 00:52:59,707
(Brennan bawling)

1486
00:52:59,707 --> 00:53:01,946
- Let it out.
- You see he leaps down

1487
00:53:01,946 --> 00:53:05,857
and just embraces KoKoMo and
just starts crying so hard.

1488
00:53:05,857 --> 00:53:06,690
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

1489
00:53:06,690 --> 00:53:11,260
- He goes, (cries
aggressively) "He abandoned us!

1490
00:53:11,260 --> 00:53:13,721
He woke us up in that place!"

1491
00:53:13,721 --> 00:53:15,622
- It's not fun to be alone.

1492
00:53:15,622 --> 00:53:20,078
- No. (snorts) I was gonna make him pay.

1493
00:53:20,078 --> 00:53:25,078
I was gonna make him pay.
He shouldn't have done that.

1494
00:53:25,133 --> 00:53:26,078
Why would he wake us up?

1495
00:53:26,078 --> 00:53:30,808
Why would he smile at us
if he was just gonna leave?

1496
00:53:30,808 --> 00:53:35,808
- Yeah. I remember asking him
if we would always be together

1497
00:53:36,711 --> 00:53:41,036
and he said, "Yeah," but I
guess that's not true now.

1498
00:53:41,036 --> 00:53:43,155
So I know how you feel.

1499
00:53:43,155 --> 00:53:45,215
- [Brennan] Give me an Awareness check.

1500
00:53:45,215 --> 00:53:46,842
The difficulty on this
is gonna be an eight.

1501
00:53:46,842 --> 00:53:48,034
- Well, I got a seven.

1502
00:53:48,034 --> 00:53:48,867
- [Brennan] Okay.

1503
00:53:48,867 --> 00:53:53,678
- I'm gonna use this to
give you half, which is 10.

1504
00:53:53,678 --> 00:53:58,670
- A 17. On that Awareness, you reach back.

1505
00:53:59,682 --> 00:54:02,243
And I think, Ash, her first memory

1506
00:54:02,243 --> 00:54:05,617
was walking through the swamp
where her test tube was.

1507
00:54:05,617 --> 00:54:06,700
- Yeah.

1508
00:54:06,700 --> 00:54:10,031
- Connor, you just had this
conversation with Hugi,

1509
00:54:10,031 --> 00:54:12,848
and you look at Tess leaning back,

1510
00:54:12,848 --> 00:54:17,443
but obviously Tess and
Breaker and Ash were all

1511
00:54:17,443 --> 00:54:20,402
fabricated in a laboratory,

1512
00:54:20,402 --> 00:54:24,782
but I think that you look
at a struggle with memory.

1513
00:54:24,782 --> 00:54:27,461
And I think that there's
something to the idea of like-

1514
00:54:27,461 --> 00:54:29,959
You had that moment with
Hugi where you said like,

1515
00:54:29,959 --> 00:54:32,376
"Do you remember being born?"

1516
00:54:32,376 --> 00:54:36,996
You wonder if there is
a fog of forgetfulness

1517
00:54:36,996 --> 00:54:39,415
over a period of youth here.

1518
00:54:39,415 --> 00:54:41,647
Is there anything you say
to Tess in this moment

1519
00:54:41,647 --> 00:54:44,495
as you offer that Help action to him?

1520
00:54:44,495 --> 00:54:47,208
- [Zac] You know, sometimes,

1521
00:54:47,208 --> 00:54:49,875
I don't really feel
anything like a dirt bike.

1522
00:54:51,108 --> 00:54:53,623
And I hope that makes
this make sense for you.

1523
00:54:53,623 --> 00:54:55,306
- I'm listening. Oh, that was it?

1524
00:54:55,306 --> 00:54:56,466
- That was the entirety of it.

1525
00:54:56,466 --> 00:54:57,299
- Got it.

1526
00:54:58,149 --> 00:55:02,312
- But I do feel more
connected to being a condor.

1527
00:55:02,312 --> 00:55:03,545
- Yeah.

1528
00:55:03,545 --> 00:55:06,571
- It can be really frustrating

1529
00:55:06,571 --> 00:55:10,154
to not know how to put
the pieces together,

1530
00:55:11,202 --> 00:55:13,836
so let me know if I can help.

1531
00:55:14,910 --> 00:55:15,743
- Hm.

1532
00:55:16,959 --> 00:55:19,669
I don't often think very deeply,

1533
00:55:19,669 --> 00:55:24,669
so maybe I can try to think harder.

1534
00:55:24,787 --> 00:55:27,821
- You look at Connor, and processing this

1535
00:55:27,821 --> 00:55:32,030
familial fighting or something
like from a distant past.

1536
00:55:32,030 --> 00:55:33,874
The Gladlands doesn't remember its past

1537
00:55:33,874 --> 00:55:35,734
and that's why the History Heap is here.

1538
00:55:35,734 --> 00:55:38,736
And trying to remember these
things that happen in childhood

1539
00:55:38,736 --> 00:55:43,060
that are so significant,
but the memories are so old

1540
00:55:43,060 --> 00:55:45,736
from a time where you
didn't even have context.

1541
00:55:45,736 --> 00:55:50,011
Looking around as Breaker sort
of heaves into KoKoMo's chest

1542
00:55:50,933 --> 00:55:54,321
you look down and see
this Uncle Pus section

1543
00:55:54,321 --> 00:55:56,268
with wind having scattered everywhere

1544
00:55:56,268 --> 00:55:58,916
from Breaker's wings, the fallen shelf.

1545
00:55:58,916 --> 00:56:02,045
You look down and you see there's a small,

1546
00:56:02,045 --> 00:56:05,654
stained manila envelope
that has scattered.

1547
00:56:05,654 --> 00:56:09,795
And you see it was hidden
in Uncle Pus's section

1548
00:56:09,795 --> 00:56:14,055
from behind where everything was shelved.

1549
00:56:14,055 --> 00:56:17,885
And you realize it was put
here because it was non books.

1550
00:56:17,885 --> 00:56:20,717
These laser disks have sort of scattered.

1551
00:56:20,717 --> 00:56:21,550
- Oh.

1552
00:56:21,550 --> 00:56:22,677
- [Brennan] These little laser
books have sort of scattered

1553
00:56:22,677 --> 00:56:25,587
on the ground in a section
that looks like nobody

1554
00:56:25,587 --> 00:56:29,055
would have seen them or found
them as you try to remember,

1555
00:56:29,055 --> 00:56:33,293
why did Uncle Pus say he
would never go anywhere?

1556
00:56:33,293 --> 00:56:36,437
Why did he say that you
would always be together?

1557
00:56:36,437 --> 00:56:38,284
And you look at these non books

1558
00:56:38,284 --> 00:56:41,285
on the ground in front of
him on that Awareness check

1559
00:56:41,285 --> 00:56:44,359
and remember something.

1560
00:56:44,359 --> 00:56:49,359
You're in a room. There's green
light that is underground.

1561
00:56:49,650 --> 00:56:52,065
There's some tasty little
thing you're eating.

1562
00:56:52,065 --> 00:56:53,262
You're so small.

1563
00:56:53,262 --> 00:56:58,262
You look and see a spoon
that is the size of a van,

1564
00:56:58,873 --> 00:57:01,702
and you realize this is a
memory of being so small

1565
00:57:01,702 --> 00:57:04,057
that you're crawling around on a table.

1566
00:57:04,057 --> 00:57:06,211
And you see next to you-
- Tiny.

1567
00:57:06,211 --> 00:57:08,021
- Tiny.
- There's a tiny little,

1568
00:57:08,021 --> 00:57:11,144
calling out to you, you hear, "Tess, help!

1569
00:57:11,144 --> 00:57:12,506
I'm on my back!"

1570
00:57:12,506 --> 00:57:16,085
And you see Breaker on his
back as a little beetle

1571
00:57:16,085 --> 00:57:18,443
who is struggling to get up.

1572
00:57:18,443 --> 00:57:19,715
- (high-pitched) Oh, I got you, I got you!

1573
00:57:19,715 --> 00:57:21,395
Hang on. One sec, one sec!

1574
00:57:21,395 --> 00:57:22,386
- [Brennan] You move over.

1575
00:57:22,386 --> 00:57:25,322
You have a memory of Uncle Pus

1576
00:57:25,322 --> 00:57:28,433
holding a couple other little
test tubes and looking at one,

1577
00:57:28,433 --> 00:57:30,072
and you see writing something down.

1578
00:57:30,072 --> 00:57:32,361
You see, speaking on a
shortwave radio and saying,

1579
00:57:32,361 --> 00:57:34,657
"Well, the only two that have opened

1580
00:57:34,657 --> 00:57:37,062
are the ones that are the most resilient.

1581
00:57:38,087 --> 00:57:40,620
They were able to hatch even
in the adverse conditions

1582
00:57:40,620 --> 00:57:42,302
of the subterranean bunker.

1583
00:57:42,302 --> 00:57:43,670
I think this poor little one

1584
00:57:43,670 --> 00:57:47,176
is gonna need a more rich,
biodiverse environment.

1585
00:57:47,176 --> 00:57:48,382
She won't be able to survive

1586
00:57:48,382 --> 00:57:52,414
unless she has plenty of
vegetation and humidity around."

1587
00:57:52,414 --> 00:57:56,318
And is looking at Ash as
a tiny, tiny little egg-

1588
00:57:56,318 --> 00:57:57,151
- Oh.

1589
00:57:57,151 --> 00:57:59,646
- ...in this test tube, and
you think of her test tube

1590
00:57:59,646 --> 00:58:02,293
floating in the water outside of Rotglob.

1591
00:58:02,293 --> 00:58:03,686
- Oh.

1592
00:58:03,686 --> 00:58:06,585
- The veil of memory passes away,

1593
00:58:06,585 --> 00:58:10,716
and you end up looking
down at these non books.

1594
00:58:10,716 --> 00:58:12,909
Looking at them, you see that
there are scratches on them,

1595
00:58:12,909 --> 00:58:16,244
and you realize these are not non books

1596
00:58:16,244 --> 00:58:18,779
from the before times.

1597
00:58:18,779 --> 00:58:22,229
These were recorded by Uncle Pus.

1598
00:58:22,229 --> 00:58:26,475
Up on top of the shelf,
Connor and Tess and Hugi,

1599
00:58:26,475 --> 00:58:29,270
all of you guys have that
ramp to scoot your way down

1600
00:58:29,270 --> 00:58:31,247
as you bumblebee dance.

1601
00:58:31,247 --> 00:58:33,049
KoKoMo, you see Breaker

1602
00:58:33,049 --> 00:58:38,049
is just sobbing in your
chest, looks around.

1603
00:58:38,089 --> 00:58:40,951
Down here, I think Herbie, you're looking

1604
00:58:40,951 --> 00:58:42,496
at these sort of scattered disks

1605
00:58:42,496 --> 00:58:44,192
that I think Tess is seeing as well.

1606
00:58:44,192 --> 00:58:47,402
Quinn-
- Hey, I have something...

1607
00:58:47,402 --> 00:58:48,736
I can play these.

1608
00:58:48,736 --> 00:58:49,825
- What?
- You can play those?

1609
00:58:49,825 --> 00:58:50,661
- [Ally] Yeah, wait.

1610
00:58:50,661 --> 00:58:53,296
I think we put the whole
setup in your saddlebags-

1611
00:58:53,296 --> 00:58:54,820
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- ...when we left the...

1612
00:58:54,820 --> 00:58:57,122
- Turns out there's a CD drive in my...

1613
00:58:57,122 --> 00:58:57,971
- In your motorcycle?

1614
00:58:57,971 --> 00:58:59,340
- Oh my god!

1615
00:58:59,340 --> 00:59:00,842
- I've been wondering
what that was. (laughs)

1616
00:59:00,842 --> 00:59:02,863
- Oh, no. Yeah, that's one of the readers.

1617
00:59:02,863 --> 00:59:03,696
And I kinda-

1618
00:59:03,696 --> 00:59:06,735
- Can KoKoMo put this big
beetle man down apologetically

1619
00:59:06,735 --> 00:59:08,825
and scurry off to his house real quick

1620
00:59:08,825 --> 00:59:10,430
to retrieve something?

1621
00:59:10,430 --> 00:59:11,263
- Yes, absolutely.

1622
00:59:11,263 --> 00:59:13,350
- Can I go faster because I fart?

1623
00:59:13,350 --> 00:59:14,758
(players giggling)

1624
00:59:14,758 --> 00:59:17,203
- [Oscar] What?
- Whose house? Your house?

1625
00:59:17,203 --> 00:59:18,922
- My stuff. I'm trying to
get to my stuff quickly.

1626
00:59:18,922 --> 00:59:21,745
- I'm gonna say, give
me a Resilience of...

1627
00:59:21,745 --> 00:59:23,179
We'll give it a Resilience of three,

1628
00:59:23,179 --> 00:59:24,859
and if that allows you to fart,

1629
00:59:24,859 --> 00:59:26,048
you can do it instantaneously.

1630
00:59:26,048 --> 00:59:28,531
- I'd like to Bungle that.
(Brennan laughing)

1631
00:59:28,531 --> 00:59:29,489
- What the hell?

1632
00:59:29,489 --> 00:59:31,177
- I'm gonna throw a
cricket into your mouth.

1633
00:59:31,177 --> 00:59:33,165
- Okay. So the Bungle, okay.

1634
00:59:33,165 --> 00:59:35,201
(die taps table)
Oh!

1635
00:59:35,201 --> 00:59:36,034
It's a nine.

1636
00:59:36,034 --> 00:59:37,492
- So you're gonna take four Boo-Boos and

1637
00:59:37,492 --> 00:59:38,770
it doesn't detract at all.
- [Ally] It didn't fail.

1638
00:59:38,770 --> 00:59:39,603
- [Brennan] But you
still get the Boo-Boos.

1639
00:59:39,603 --> 00:59:40,436
- Yeah, I still get them.
- Oh!

1640
00:59:40,436 --> 00:59:42,386
- [Vic] Yeah, we need that.
- And you get two as well.

1641
00:59:42,386 --> 00:59:43,219
So you get two Boo-Boos from that.

1642
00:59:43,219 --> 00:59:44,336
- [Ally] Awesome.
- Cool.

1643
00:59:44,336 --> 00:59:45,331
- [Brennan] You guys have really taken

1644
00:59:45,331 --> 00:59:46,789
our lovely little indie game system

1645
00:59:46,789 --> 00:59:49,093
and just absolutely torn it to shreds.

1646
00:59:49,093 --> 00:59:50,366
(Jacob cackling)
God bless.

1647
00:59:50,366 --> 00:59:51,929
Cool, you blast off.

1648
00:59:51,929 --> 00:59:53,663
- I'll be right back! (blows raspberry)

1649
00:59:53,663 --> 00:59:54,496
(Brennan and Vic laughing)

1650
00:59:54,496 --> 00:59:56,179
- [Ally] Sick.
- Oh, nasty!

1651
00:59:56,179 --> 00:59:57,333
- I try to stop you, but instead,

1652
00:59:57,333 --> 00:59:58,925
I'm giving you a high five.
- [Brennan] Yes.

1653
00:59:58,925 --> 01:00:01,463
(Jacob blows raspberry)
(Oscar laughing)

1654
01:00:01,463 --> 01:00:02,796
- [Brennan] What do you
grab from your stuff?

1655
01:00:02,796 --> 01:00:05,879
- I assume I have a Beach Boys CD.

1656
01:00:05,879 --> 01:00:08,443
- Yes.
- [Jacob] In amongst my-

1657
01:00:08,443 --> 01:00:09,622
- Amongst your stuff. Yeah, absolutely.

1658
01:00:09,622 --> 01:00:11,866
- Yes, and I grab that.

1659
01:00:11,866 --> 01:00:13,914
- [Brennan] You grab it, rush off.

1660
01:00:13,914 --> 01:00:14,768
(Jacob shouting)

1661
01:00:14,768 --> 01:00:15,983
You come back.

1662
01:00:15,983 --> 01:00:17,385
- Cute!
- So cute.

1663
01:00:17,385 --> 01:00:18,660
(Jacob shouting)

1664
01:00:18,660 --> 01:00:19,730
- You rush all the way back.

1665
01:00:19,730 --> 01:00:23,530
As you do so, you have this
machine in front of you,

1666
01:00:23,530 --> 01:00:26,602
and you can see, Ash, still
in your cage, is there.

1667
01:00:26,602 --> 01:00:30,576
And you look over and see that
Ash is seated on the floor

1668
01:00:30,576 --> 01:00:33,229
of the cage in a corner and is kind of

1669
01:00:33,229 --> 01:00:35,677
leaning her head against your head with

1670
01:00:35,677 --> 01:00:38,634
arms wrapped around your head-
- Oh my god.

1671
01:00:38,634 --> 01:00:39,959
- [Brennan] Sort of
like, sitting up there.

1672
01:00:39,959 --> 01:00:40,936
It's very comfy.

1673
01:00:40,936 --> 01:00:43,263
- I say, we're probably out of the weeds.

1674
01:00:43,263 --> 01:00:44,813
Like, he seems like he's calmed down now.

1675
01:00:44,813 --> 01:00:47,463
He got a nice hug, so you
can get out if you want,

1676
01:00:47,463 --> 01:00:49,388
but are you comfortable?

1677
01:00:49,388 --> 01:00:51,325
- I like small, enclosed spaces.

1678
01:00:51,325 --> 01:00:53,483
(Brennan chittering)
- Yeah, me too. Okay, great.

1679
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:55,286
So I kinda set up the thing
so we can start listening

1680
01:00:55,286 --> 01:00:58,939
to the tapes from Dr. Pus.

1681
01:00:58,939 --> 01:00:59,951
- [Brennan] Hell yes.

1682
01:00:59,951 --> 01:01:00,784
- Uncle Pus.

1683
01:01:00,784 --> 01:01:02,630
- [Brennan] Uncle Pus. You see-

1684
01:01:02,630 --> 01:01:03,600
- Professor Pus?

1685
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,007
- [Brennan] Professor Pus.

1686
01:01:05,007 --> 01:01:06,200
- Uncle Professor Dr. Pus.

1687
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:07,535
- Yeah.
- Professor Pus.

1688
01:01:07,535 --> 01:01:08,912
- I think we all know deep down

1689
01:01:08,912 --> 01:01:11,224
that an uncle and a professor
and a doctor are the same.

1690
01:01:11,224 --> 01:01:12,057
- Kinda the same guy.

1691
01:01:12,057 --> 01:01:13,400
- Kind of the same thing.
- Deep down.

1692
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:14,803
- [Brennan] Deep down.
- Same vertical stack.

1693
01:01:14,803 --> 01:01:15,926
- When you really boil it down.

1694
01:01:15,926 --> 01:01:18,024
- What's an uncle if not a professor?

1695
01:01:18,024 --> 01:01:20,217
- Yeah, but a doctor in the
sense that they're a dentist

1696
01:01:20,217 --> 01:01:22,041
but they went to medical school.

1697
01:01:22,041 --> 01:01:24,373
(Vic and Brennan laughing)

1698
01:01:24,373 --> 01:01:25,206
- You see-

1699
01:01:25,206 --> 01:01:27,321
- Uncle Professor Dr. Dentist Pus.

1700
01:01:27,321 --> 01:01:31,506
- You hear a little
voice recording saying,

1701
01:01:31,506 --> 01:01:34,651
"This is the voice of Uncle Pus

1702
01:01:34,651 --> 01:01:38,818
recording on an extremely
experimental technology.

1703
01:01:39,890 --> 01:01:42,685
I know that this device is capable

1704
01:01:42,685 --> 01:01:44,816
of creating one of these recordings,

1705
01:01:44,816 --> 01:01:47,557
but I've not yet cracked
which of the devices

1706
01:01:47,557 --> 01:01:50,237
available here at the History
Heap can actually play them.

1707
01:01:50,237 --> 01:01:53,482
I keep putting it in a little flat one

1708
01:01:53,482 --> 01:01:55,031
that feels like it fits

1709
01:01:55,031 --> 01:01:57,387
and it keeps opening
up with a sort of menu

1710
01:01:57,387 --> 01:01:59,659
where a little logo
bounces around a screen,

1711
01:01:59,659 --> 01:02:01,570
and boy, I wait for it
to get in the corner

1712
01:02:01,570 --> 01:02:04,775
'cause it reverses
direction, bounces back."

1713
01:02:04,775 --> 01:02:07,648
(cast laughing)

1714
01:02:07,648 --> 01:02:08,849
(Zac snapping fingers)

1715
01:02:08,849 --> 01:02:10,422
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.

1716
01:02:10,422 --> 01:02:11,255
- So true.

1717
01:02:11,255 --> 01:02:15,173
- Just sitting there,
"Wait for it..." (laughs)

1718
01:02:15,173 --> 01:02:20,173
You see that he goes, "This
is a missive that I am leaving

1719
01:02:20,666 --> 01:02:25,666
for my wonderful bambinos

1720
01:02:25,976 --> 01:02:27,742
back in the bunker,

1721
01:02:27,742 --> 01:02:31,500
to number five and number three."

1722
01:02:32,365 --> 01:02:33,947
- They tell.

1723
01:02:33,947 --> 01:02:34,840
(Ally laughs)

1724
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,028
- "Number one has been planted deep

1725
01:02:37,028 --> 01:02:41,471
in the warm vegetation of
Rotglob, and as soon as I am back,

1726
01:02:41,471 --> 01:02:46,138
she should be healthy enough
for you all to be reunited.

1727
01:02:47,525 --> 01:02:51,583
I have discovered that your siblings,

1728
01:02:51,583 --> 01:02:53,731
number two and number four..."

1729
01:02:53,731 --> 01:02:56,984
And I think here, Tess, you go, "Tubes."

1730
01:02:56,984 --> 01:03:01,984
- Tubes. Oh, grabs a piece of
paper, writes his name down.

1731
01:03:02,309 --> 01:03:03,939
Oh!

1732
01:03:03,939 --> 01:03:04,772
Tubes.

1733
01:03:05,719 --> 01:03:10,594
Tubes. Guys, how do you make a S?

1734
01:03:10,594 --> 01:03:11,427
- Like this.

1735
01:03:11,427 --> 01:03:13,014
And I write one next to it.

1736
01:03:14,272 --> 01:03:16,369
- How do you make a five?
(Brennan laughs)

1737
01:03:16,369 --> 01:03:18,003
- [Ally] Like this. Flat on top.

1738
01:03:18,003 --> 01:03:18,920
- I'm five.

1739
01:03:19,770 --> 01:03:24,571
- You see Breaker turns from
KoKoMo and goes, "I'm three."

1740
01:03:24,571 --> 01:03:28,210
And you remember seeing the
bottle that Ash never saw,

1741
01:03:28,210 --> 01:03:31,335
the one in the bottom, Test Tube 1.

1742
01:03:31,335 --> 01:03:32,415
- Ash!

1743
01:03:32,415 --> 01:03:33,271
- Huh?

1744
01:03:33,271 --> 01:03:35,439
- I think you're one.

1745
01:03:35,439 --> 01:03:37,223
- What? But I'm so little!

1746
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:40,202
- Yeah, but I mean, size doesn't matter,

1747
01:03:40,202 --> 01:03:42,446
and that's something big
brothers can teach you.

1748
01:03:42,446 --> 01:03:44,540
You can be number one and still be little.

1749
01:03:44,540 --> 01:03:46,755
- And I'm 20-something.

1750
01:03:46,755 --> 01:03:47,621
- What?

1751
01:03:47,621 --> 01:03:48,454
- Years old.

1752
01:03:48,454 --> 01:03:50,334
- [Oscar] They're not
talking about age, Connor.

1753
01:03:50,334 --> 01:03:51,167
- Connor it's- Yeah.

1754
01:03:51,167 --> 01:03:52,679
- They're not talking about age, Connor.

1755
01:03:52,679 --> 01:03:54,456
- Wait, did he say two and four are...

1756
01:03:54,456 --> 01:03:58,214
- You see he says, "I've
discovered a likely location

1757
01:03:58,214 --> 01:04:03,189
here at the History Heap of a technology

1758
01:04:04,044 --> 01:04:09,044
that may be capable of
aiding the hatching process.

1759
01:04:10,951 --> 01:04:14,926
Your siblings, two and four,
are in arrested mitosis,

1760
01:04:14,926 --> 01:04:19,452
meaning that their growth process is...

1761
01:04:19,452 --> 01:04:22,410
Part of the cryogenics of how
you were kept for so long,

1762
01:04:22,410 --> 01:04:27,093
they just haven't unfrozen,
and there needs to be a...

1763
01:04:27,093 --> 01:04:30,245
There's a technology that I believe exists

1764
01:04:30,245 --> 01:04:33,438
in the Red Dust Plains that
I may be able to recover."

1765
01:04:33,438 --> 01:04:34,881
- Come on, now.
- Hm.

1766
01:04:34,881 --> 01:04:38,222
- That I may be able to
recover, if it is possible,

1767
01:04:38,222 --> 01:04:41,312
that would allow your
siblings to actually hatch

1768
01:04:41,312 --> 01:04:44,809
and begin growing, and
I am out to seek it.

1769
01:04:44,809 --> 01:04:48,991
As soon as I am done, I
will return to collect you.

1770
01:04:48,991 --> 01:04:52,413
Don't worry, I told you that
I'd always be by your side,

1771
01:04:52,413 --> 01:04:54,538
and that's a promise I intend to keep.

1772
01:04:54,538 --> 01:04:59,213
Recording date, 14th
day of Hot Time Sequence

1773
01:05:00,099 --> 01:05:03,224
five years after the last time

1774
01:05:03,224 --> 01:05:05,269
we wrote down what year it was.

1775
01:05:05,269 --> 01:05:07,218
- Oh man, why do we do that?
- Brutal.

1776
01:05:07,218 --> 01:05:08,623
- We gotta be writing down the year.

1777
01:05:08,623 --> 01:05:10,124
- It's like, you don't even really need

1778
01:05:10,124 --> 01:05:11,310
to put something there in that way.

1779
01:05:11,310 --> 01:05:12,566
- [Kimia] It's hard.
- Well, the paper gets lost

1780
01:05:12,566 --> 01:05:14,772
and then we just start again
so it's really hard to know.

1781
01:05:14,772 --> 01:05:16,497
- Off in a corner of the
History Heap, you see

1782
01:05:16,497 --> 01:05:19,331
there's a group of History
Heap researchers being like,

1783
01:05:19,331 --> 01:05:23,225
"I think the calendar should
be a circle and not pages!"

1784
01:05:23,225 --> 01:05:25,971
And someone says, "Guys,
they are counting on us.

1785
01:05:25,971 --> 01:05:28,888
We gotta wrap this up pretty soon."

1786
01:05:29,948 --> 01:05:31,208
- They'll get there.

1787
01:05:31,208 --> 01:05:34,554
This is reminding me, guys,
there's another reason

1788
01:05:34,554 --> 01:05:38,969
we really need to get
to the Red Dust Wastes.

1789
01:05:38,969 --> 01:05:39,802
- [Zac] Oh, yeah.

1790
01:05:39,802 --> 01:05:40,635
- Connor...

1791
01:05:40,635 --> 01:05:43,090
- I don't have a way...

1792
01:05:43,090 --> 01:05:46,615
There's a rain system
floating in towards it.

1793
01:05:46,615 --> 01:05:50,075
- There's gonna be flash floods
all over that book cache.

1794
01:05:50,075 --> 01:05:50,908
- Wait, what?

1795
01:05:50,908 --> 01:05:52,860
- The downscrapers,
they're about to be flooded

1796
01:05:52,860 --> 01:05:54,093
if we don't get over there.

1797
01:05:54,093 --> 01:05:55,176
It's gonna happen no matter what.

1798
01:05:55,176 --> 01:05:56,541
- [Ally] Where the person
said all the books are.

1799
01:05:56,541 --> 01:05:59,316
- Connor, can you calculate
when the rains will...

1800
01:05:59,316 --> 01:06:00,149
- Yes.

1801
01:06:00,149 --> 01:06:01,438
My eyes roll back in my head,

1802
01:06:01,438 --> 01:06:03,429
whites like "Dune."
(electronic buzzing)

1803
01:06:03,429 --> 01:06:06,427
- [Ally] He's beautiful! He's beautiful!

1804
01:06:06,427 --> 01:06:09,114
- I don't know. A day?

1805
01:06:09,114 --> 01:06:10,620
- No, you're exactly right.

1806
01:06:10,620 --> 01:06:12,016
It's already raining,

1807
01:06:12,016 --> 01:06:14,800
but there's a small
ridge of the mountains.

1808
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,889
The storm will cross that ridge,

1809
01:06:16,889 --> 01:06:19,882
and basically the second
it crosses that ridge,

1810
01:06:19,882 --> 01:06:21,860
it's gonna start hitting the
other side of the mountains

1811
01:06:21,860 --> 01:06:24,320
and (mimics rain pouring) floods.

1812
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,763
- Which means not only is
the book gonna be demolished

1813
01:06:26,763 --> 01:06:29,013
but the technology as well.

1814
01:06:29,013 --> 01:06:30,633
- And Uncle Pus maybe.

1815
01:06:30,633 --> 01:06:32,515
- Yeah, it sounds like he was still there

1816
01:06:32,515 --> 01:06:33,567
if we haven't seen him.

1817
01:06:33,567 --> 01:06:35,016
- Hopefully, he's still out there.

1818
01:06:35,016 --> 01:06:38,748
See, Breaker, I told you
we were on the same team.

1819
01:06:38,748 --> 01:06:40,174
- Wait.
- Wha?

1820
01:06:40,174 --> 01:06:42,407
- Does that team...
(tender sentimental music)

1821
01:06:42,407 --> 01:06:43,740
Would you say that team-

1822
01:06:43,740 --> 01:06:45,289
- Is a

1823
01:06:45,289 --> 01:06:46,897
family?
- Family?

1824
01:06:46,897 --> 01:06:47,832
(Brennan bawling)

1825
01:06:47,832 --> 01:06:48,665
- Oh!

1826
01:06:50,899 --> 01:06:52,520
- I'm in the hug too just so
that Ash can be part of it.

1827
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:53,353
- Just the cage.

1828
01:06:53,353 --> 01:06:54,186
- [Brennan] Ash can get in there.

1829
01:06:54,186 --> 01:06:57,081
- I just slowly start pulling
everybody into one big hug.

1830
01:06:57,081 --> 01:06:58,965
- [Brennan] One giant hug.
- [Jacob] Yeah.

1831
01:06:58,965 --> 01:07:00,550
(cast shouting)

1832
01:07:00,550 --> 01:07:02,732
- Does this affect us at all?

1833
01:07:02,732 --> 01:07:04,780
- [Brennan] Does the giant
hug effect everybody?

1834
01:07:04,780 --> 01:07:06,374
- [Oscar] Does this-
- Well...

1835
01:07:06,374 --> 01:07:07,721
- Can't help but notice-
- Nice vibe.

1836
01:07:07,721 --> 01:07:08,873
- ...we're really
playing to our strengths.

1837
01:07:08,873 --> 01:07:09,706
- [Zac] Can you get in the hug?

1838
01:07:09,706 --> 01:07:12,140
- [Ally] And we're in a massive group hug.

1839
01:07:12,140 --> 01:07:13,669
- Get in here, DM.

1840
01:07:13,669 --> 01:07:15,502
Get in the hug.
- Yeah.

1841
01:07:15,502 --> 01:07:16,349
- I'm gonna say, everybody,

1842
01:07:16,349 --> 01:07:19,171
give me a difficulty five Warmth check.

1843
01:07:20,204 --> 01:07:21,037
- Okay.

1844
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,982
- I just half it. I make it.

1845
01:07:22,982 --> 01:07:23,982
- [Brennan] And in halving it-
- Same.

1846
01:07:23,982 --> 01:07:26,299
- [Oscar] Yeah, so do I.
- Six.

1847
01:07:26,299 --> 01:07:28,236
- [Brennan] Cool, what did we get here?

1848
01:07:28,236 --> 01:07:29,379
- Six.
- [Brennan] Six.

1849
01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:30,439
- Two.
- [Brennan] Two.

1850
01:07:30,439 --> 01:07:33,092
I'm gonna say you halve yours,
which means that you can,

1851
01:07:33,092 --> 01:07:35,831
I think, extend a tick in someone else.

1852
01:07:35,831 --> 01:07:37,025
So someone that fails their roll,

1853
01:07:37,025 --> 01:07:38,379
you just squeeze them extra tight

1854
01:07:38,379 --> 01:07:39,855
and you can give them a success here.

1855
01:07:39,855 --> 01:07:41,219
We get a six over here.
- [Kimia] Mm-hmm.

1856
01:07:41,219 --> 01:07:43,450
- I halved it for a six as well.

1857
01:07:43,450 --> 01:07:44,321
- [Brennan] Halved it for a six.

1858
01:07:44,321 --> 01:07:47,615
- I got a three and I do
think that this is a moment

1859
01:07:47,615 --> 01:07:49,220
where I've said my piece and I don't feel

1860
01:07:49,220 --> 01:07:52,154
like people were listening
to what I had to say earlier.

1861
01:07:52,154 --> 01:07:53,541
- Yeah. I dig it.

1862
01:07:53,541 --> 01:07:55,511
For Quinn, if you wanna
extend that to Quinn

1863
01:07:55,511 --> 01:07:58,472
and pull them into the
hug, you can do so, KoKoMo.

1864
01:07:58,472 --> 01:07:59,727
- Yeah, I would love to.

1865
01:07:59,727 --> 01:08:02,015
- All of you can tick down
one on your Bummerometer.

1866
01:08:02,015 --> 01:08:05,682
- I'm gonna use music
box so you can re-roll.

1867
01:08:06,768 --> 01:08:08,387
- Oh.
- Unless that's...

1868
01:08:08,387 --> 01:08:09,252
- [Kimia] Unless you don't want to.

1869
01:08:09,252 --> 01:08:10,085
- Yeah, unless you wanna-

1870
01:08:10,085 --> 01:08:12,309
- I can, but I got a
three on that first one.

1871
01:08:12,309 --> 01:08:13,142
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.

1872
01:08:13,142 --> 01:08:14,085
- Oh, you have a four Warmth.

1873
01:08:14,085 --> 01:08:16,149
- Mm-hmm.
- Never mind.

1874
01:08:16,149 --> 01:08:17,563
Even KoKoMo knows.

1875
01:08:18,730 --> 01:08:20,412
- In this moment, big, big hug.

1876
01:08:20,412 --> 01:08:23,206
- Yes, we're a family and we're all

1877
01:08:23,206 --> 01:08:25,757
on the same page!
- We won, we won!

1878
01:08:25,757 --> 01:08:27,473
(Brennan laughing)
- I love this!

1879
01:08:27,473 --> 01:08:28,306
- Yeah, yeah.

1880
01:08:28,306 --> 01:08:29,975
- [Brennan] In that moment, Hugi,

1881
01:08:29,975 --> 01:08:31,728
with the big expression-
- Yeah, yeah.

1882
01:08:31,728 --> 01:08:33,347
- ...of the Red Dust Plains, are you

1883
01:08:33,347 --> 01:08:34,496
sort of going through the motions?

1884
01:08:34,496 --> 01:08:35,637
You're participating in the hug?

1885
01:08:35,637 --> 01:08:36,738
- Yeah, 'cause I think at this point,

1886
01:08:36,738 --> 01:08:38,318
it is one of those things where

1887
01:08:38,318 --> 01:08:42,901
I think it took a lot to
express discord the first time

1888
01:08:43,914 --> 01:08:48,180
and so I got to speak
this big, unfortunate need

1889
01:08:48,180 --> 01:08:49,479
and now I feel like I've spoken it

1890
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,081
and it's sort of like
we've decided as a group

1891
01:08:52,081 --> 01:08:55,792
that we're gonna go forward with it anyway

1892
01:08:55,792 --> 01:08:58,206
and so it feels too insurmountable.

1893
01:08:58,206 --> 01:09:00,130
I'm too tired at this
point, I think, to...

1894
01:09:00,130 --> 01:09:01,563
- Hugi's request from the previous episode

1895
01:09:01,563 --> 01:09:04,207
was that the Carer Van not dedicate itself

1896
01:09:04,207 --> 01:09:05,440
to this History Heap.

1897
01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:06,938
- That we can't, yeah.
- [Brennan] We can't.

1898
01:09:06,938 --> 01:09:07,771
- Mm-hmm.

1899
01:09:07,771 --> 01:09:12,271
- Go ahead, give me a Charm
roll, if you'd be so kind.

1900
01:09:13,586 --> 01:09:14,419
- 14.

1901
01:09:14,419 --> 01:09:15,281
- [Brennan] 14.

1902
01:09:15,281 --> 01:09:17,515
On that 10, I would like you

1903
01:09:17,515 --> 01:09:21,007
to just subtract a d6 from that roll.

1904
01:09:21,007 --> 01:09:22,572
- [Vic] Great.
- [Brennan] A d6 roll.

1905
01:09:22,572 --> 01:09:24,256
- And so that's, and roll the d6.

1906
01:09:24,256 --> 01:09:25,815
- [Brennan] Roll the d6.
- Of course.

1907
01:09:25,815 --> 01:09:26,648
- I do calculus, not regular math.

1908
01:09:26,648 --> 01:09:28,396
- 'Cause you're math, you're math.

1909
01:09:29,729 --> 01:09:32,169
- Four.
- Four moves that 14 to a 10.

1910
01:09:32,169 --> 01:09:33,294
- 10.

1911
01:09:33,294 --> 01:09:36,307
- [Brennan] Connor, because
you connected before,

1912
01:09:36,307 --> 01:09:39,451
I'd like you to make a DC
10 Awareness check for me

1913
01:09:39,451 --> 01:09:41,037
if you'd be so-
- Which I'm just gonna halve.

1914
01:09:41,037 --> 01:09:42,172
- Halve and succeed.

1915
01:09:42,172 --> 01:09:44,404
I'm gonna say, Connor, on that 10,

1916
01:09:44,404 --> 01:09:46,552
I think you just see that, like,

1917
01:09:46,552 --> 01:09:49,277
the ghost has fully gone out of Hugi.

1918
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:51,669
She's just not present in this moment.

1919
01:09:51,669 --> 01:09:56,079
As the hug decommences, Herbie,
time is now of the essence,

1920
01:09:56,079 --> 01:09:57,530
but you're not talking to the History Heap

1921
01:09:57,530 --> 01:09:59,406
until tomorrow morning.
- Mm-hmm.

1922
01:09:59,406 --> 01:10:02,724
- You have these CDs. Breaker
is no longer an active threat.

1923
01:10:02,724 --> 01:10:06,946
KoKoMo, you've returned with
this Beach Boys CD as well.

1924
01:10:06,946 --> 01:10:07,779
- Mm-hmm.

1925
01:10:07,779 --> 01:10:08,737
- [Brennan] After
listening to this message.

1926
01:10:08,737 --> 01:10:09,570
- Yeah.

1927
01:10:09,570 --> 01:10:10,716
- And I think, KoKoMo, you also see that,

1928
01:10:10,716 --> 01:10:14,228
again, Ash is hanging out
in Quinn's helmet here.

1929
01:10:14,228 --> 01:10:15,967
But you hear off in the distance.

1930
01:10:15,967 --> 01:10:18,276
(as Aunt Freaky) "Hugi! Hugi!"

1931
01:10:18,276 --> 01:10:19,709
(somber desolate music)

1932
01:10:19,709 --> 01:10:21,000
- Yes, ma'am.

1933
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:22,659
- You just hear Aunt Freaky's
voice off in the stacks

1934
01:10:22,659 --> 01:10:25,542
being like, "Please come by and visit.

1935
01:10:25,542 --> 01:10:28,380
You are family, after all,
the only I have left."

1936
01:10:29,547 --> 01:10:32,736
- Yes, ma'am, I will be there.
I'll be there in a minute.

1937
01:10:32,736 --> 01:10:34,879
- Mm-hmm, but you don't leave right away.

1938
01:10:34,879 --> 01:10:36,010
You stay here for the moment.

1939
01:10:36,010 --> 01:10:37,845
- Yes.
- Okay, cool. Copy that.

1940
01:10:37,845 --> 01:10:38,884
Hell yeah, what do you guys do?

1941
01:10:38,884 --> 01:10:41,744
- Do I recognize the
faltering? Can I roll to see?

1942
01:10:41,744 --> 01:10:44,275
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Give me a roll.

1943
01:10:44,275 --> 01:10:46,743
- Six, blow it up.
(engine revving)

1944
01:10:46,743 --> 01:10:47,576
One, seven.

1945
01:10:47,576 --> 01:10:48,409
- Seven, hell yeah.

1946
01:10:48,409 --> 01:10:51,919
I think that is a success to
see the faltering here, yeah.

1947
01:10:51,919 --> 01:10:52,752
- Okay.

1948
01:10:52,752 --> 01:10:53,585
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.

1949
01:10:53,585 --> 01:10:56,668
- I think KoKoMo's gonna try
and play the CD for everybody.

1950
01:10:56,668 --> 01:10:57,751
- [Brennan] Cool.

1951
01:10:57,751 --> 01:11:01,650
- In maybe hopes that it could
maybe turn the vibe around.

1952
01:11:02,550 --> 01:11:05,312
I haven't listened to
this for a very long time,

1953
01:11:05,312 --> 01:11:08,413
but this gave me hope when
I was just a dust wanderer

1954
01:11:08,413 --> 01:11:10,120
before Poppy found me.

1955
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,038
I spent a lot of time trying
to find more of these things,

1956
01:11:14,038 --> 01:11:16,019
and sometimes I did and
sometimes they didn't work

1957
01:11:16,019 --> 01:11:18,834
and sometimes there was just pictures.

1958
01:11:18,834 --> 01:11:22,265
But anytime I was out
there wandering the dust

1959
01:11:22,265 --> 01:11:23,857
and everybody said, "You
should go crush bones,

1960
01:11:23,857 --> 01:11:25,895
you should go crush bones,"

1961
01:11:25,895 --> 01:11:30,244
I knew that there was something
a little more special,

1962
01:11:30,244 --> 01:11:34,174
and I knew that maybe
I could find the beach.

1963
01:11:34,174 --> 01:11:38,420
I just want you to know what
the beach really means to me

1964
01:11:38,420 --> 01:11:39,640
and how good it can feel.

1965
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,445
- [Brennan] The CD begins to play.

1966
01:11:41,445 --> 01:11:43,834
Go ahead and just make
a Warmth roll for me.

1967
01:11:43,834 --> 01:11:46,417
We'll call it difficulty of 10.

1968
01:11:47,727 --> 01:11:49,306
- 10.
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.

1969
01:11:49,306 --> 01:11:50,679
- Wow, you're rolling it today.

1970
01:11:50,679 --> 01:11:52,150
- [Brennan] Rolling it.
- I'm right on the dot.

1971
01:11:52,150 --> 01:11:53,649
- The Good Vibrations begin.

1972
01:11:53,649 --> 01:11:55,462
(groovy surf pop music)
As Good Vibrations begin,

1973
01:11:55,462 --> 01:11:59,662
nearby, you hear some shouting
(Jacob vocalizing)

1974
01:11:59,662 --> 01:12:01,613
that's been going on
a little distance away

1975
01:12:01,613 --> 01:12:03,302
at the Screamatorium-
- Hm.

1976
01:12:03,302 --> 01:12:06,144
- ...begins to stop and you
see that these robed figures

1977
01:12:06,144 --> 01:12:09,499
just begin to approach, sort
of leaning in and going,

1978
01:12:09,499 --> 01:12:11,267
"What's, what's happening here?"

1979
01:12:11,267 --> 01:12:14,167
And you see that Void
is amongst their number,

1980
01:12:14,167 --> 01:12:16,927
kind of looking off, has
been at the Screamatorium.

1981
01:12:16,927 --> 01:12:19,947
You see Void looks up and says, "Hugi?"

1982
01:12:19,947 --> 01:12:21,359
- We fixed it.

1983
01:12:21,359 --> 01:12:23,290
- Everyone gathers around,
looking at these little disks,

1984
01:12:23,290 --> 01:12:25,932
but you see that Professor Dogmouth says,

1985
01:12:25,932 --> 01:12:27,059
"What do you mean you've...

1986
01:12:27,059 --> 01:12:31,341
You were tampering with
the non books? I...

1987
01:12:31,341 --> 01:12:33,463
(lively upbeat pop music)
My god."

1988
01:12:33,463 --> 01:12:34,855
Just hears the Good Vibrations.

1989
01:12:34,855 --> 01:12:39,394
On that 10 Warmth check,
looks over at Void and goes,

1990
01:12:39,394 --> 01:12:40,644
"Void Warranty,

1991
01:12:42,854 --> 01:12:46,821
it appears your assertions were correct."

1992
01:12:47,692 --> 01:12:49,469
You see that over in a corner,

1993
01:12:49,469 --> 01:12:54,469
one of the robed History
Heapers goes (clapping)

1994
01:12:55,169 --> 01:12:56,555
and starts clapping, and
you see a bunch of them

1995
01:12:56,555 --> 01:12:59,318
lift Void up on their shoulders.

1996
01:12:59,318 --> 01:13:01,746
And on that Warmth check
with Good Vibrations playing,

1997
01:13:01,746 --> 01:13:02,603
the Good Goo...

1998
01:13:02,603 --> 01:13:06,145
- [Oscar] Oh, thank god.
(Jacob vocalizing)

1999
01:13:06,145 --> 01:13:08,690
- [Brennan] So two. The
Good Goo goes up by two.

2000
01:13:08,690 --> 01:13:10,156
But I think in that
moment of celebrations,

2001
01:13:10,156 --> 01:13:12,333
they start cheering and clapping

2002
01:13:12,333 --> 01:13:13,712
and looking around at each other.

2003
01:13:13,712 --> 01:13:15,625
You also see that a lot
of the History Council

2004
01:13:15,625 --> 01:13:18,948
has sort of appeared from the
Screamatorium in this place.

2005
01:13:18,948 --> 01:13:21,775
You see that they say like, one
of the History Heapers says,

2006
01:13:21,775 --> 01:13:24,928
"Well, a new technology
has been discovered

2007
01:13:24,928 --> 01:13:28,866
by these helpers of the Carer Van.

2008
01:13:28,866 --> 01:13:33,699
To the Carer Van is a great
debt owed by the History Heap.

2009
01:13:34,735 --> 01:13:37,738
Thank you for your service in this regard.

2010
01:13:37,738 --> 01:13:42,738
Void Warranty, though you
tampered with non books

2011
01:13:43,226 --> 01:13:47,261
against express orders
and were responsible

2012
01:13:47,261 --> 01:13:50,730
for the destruction of
some historical artifacts,

2013
01:13:50,730 --> 01:13:55,730
in this instance, perhaps,
can some leniency be gathered,

2014
01:13:55,825 --> 01:14:00,122
though we ask, in the future,

2015
01:14:00,122 --> 01:14:02,375
to please check in with us

2016
01:14:02,375 --> 01:14:05,816
if you're gonna fly off
the handle and go rogue.

2017
01:14:05,816 --> 01:14:09,189
You're a loose cannon, Warranty!

2018
01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:12,106
What could that be, a loose cannon?

2019
01:14:13,527 --> 01:14:16,476
More research required.
(players chuckling)

2020
01:14:16,476 --> 01:14:18,264
The important thing is this,

2021
01:14:18,264 --> 01:14:23,014
we will have to conclude our
Screamathon tomorrow due to,

2022
01:14:24,650 --> 01:14:27,306
we have to dive into all
these non books tonight.

2023
01:14:27,306 --> 01:14:29,273
We will conclude the Screamathon tomorrow

2024
01:14:29,273 --> 01:14:32,763
over whether or not to
establish a forbidden section

2025
01:14:32,763 --> 01:14:35,807
and whether knowledge can be evil or not."

2026
01:14:35,807 --> 01:14:37,765
And you see that someone holds up a copy

2027
01:14:37,765 --> 01:14:41,098
of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and goes,

2028
01:14:42,031 --> 01:14:44,482
"I think it should be destroyed!

2029
01:14:45,349 --> 01:14:48,513
It will poison the world
again if we let it!"

2030
01:14:48,513 --> 01:14:49,557
And you see that someone else says,

2031
01:14:49,557 --> 01:14:51,889
"Knowledge can be neither good nor evil.

2032
01:14:51,889 --> 01:14:54,833
If we do not read the book,
how do we stop ourselves

2033
01:14:54,833 --> 01:14:57,627
from accidentally writing
it in the future?"

2034
01:14:57,627 --> 01:14:58,720
- I try to snap, and I was like,

2035
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:02,056
oop! Wait, I'm not in drag.
(cast laughing)

2036
01:15:02,056 --> 01:15:03,901
- Was there a fly? Are you okay?

2037
01:15:03,901 --> 01:15:05,598
- Yeah, I was swatting a fly.
- Oh, cool.

2038
01:15:05,598 --> 01:15:08,222
- You see Breaker goes, "Brother!"

2039
01:15:08,222 --> 01:15:09,055
- Brother!

2040
01:15:10,169 --> 01:15:11,200
- Oops.
- [Brennan] Yes, Connor.

2041
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,936
- Oh, I was just gonna see
if I could, real quickly,

2042
01:15:14,936 --> 01:15:17,450
try to get Hugi's attention.

2043
01:15:17,450 --> 01:15:20,554
Hugi, um, I know that there's

2044
01:15:20,554 --> 01:15:24,637
a lotta complicated feelings
about all this stuff

2045
01:15:25,626 --> 01:15:30,626
and uh, I know that's maybe not
what you were wanting to do.

2046
01:15:30,718 --> 01:15:32,624
(soft tender music)
- Hm.

2047
01:15:32,624 --> 01:15:37,624
- Um, but I'm just
trying to figure it out,

2048
01:15:37,788 --> 01:15:41,154
and I feel like Poppy,

2049
01:15:42,036 --> 01:15:44,820
some part of Poppy needs
to go there for Poppy

2050
01:15:44,820 --> 01:15:47,858
and some part of Tess
needs to go there for Tess.

2051
01:15:47,858 --> 01:15:50,630
So I want you to feel supported,

2052
01:15:50,630 --> 01:15:53,125
and I'll help you do
whatever you need to do,

2053
01:15:53,125 --> 01:15:56,301
but I'm wondering if there's
a way we could also go there.

2054
01:15:57,834 --> 01:16:00,570
- And then I think Hugi just
thinks about it for a second

2055
01:16:00,570 --> 01:16:02,320
and just goes like...

2056
01:16:03,155 --> 01:16:05,834
Just can't really form the words

2057
01:16:05,834 --> 01:16:08,078
and is searching for
them and then just goes,

2058
01:16:08,078 --> 01:16:09,560
can I show you something?

2059
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:10,393
- Mm-hmm.

2060
01:16:10,393 --> 01:16:12,552
- Maybe, can I show you guys something?

2061
01:16:13,627 --> 01:16:14,460
- Yeah.

2062
01:16:14,460 --> 01:16:18,228
- Should we go somewhere
where we can do that?

2063
01:16:18,228 --> 01:16:20,161
- Yeah. Do you mind if I just...

2064
01:16:20,161 --> 01:16:21,761
And then I just sort
of wanna lead them back

2065
01:16:21,761 --> 01:16:25,477
to that little alcove in the library.

2066
01:16:27,454 --> 01:16:28,981
- You guys head back to the library.

2067
01:16:28,981 --> 01:16:30,663
Void is being celebrated.

2068
01:16:30,663 --> 01:16:34,697
You see that as you guys
head back to the library,

2069
01:16:34,697 --> 01:16:35,978
you see that there's a quick-

2070
01:16:35,978 --> 01:16:37,543
The History Council gathers here.

2071
01:16:37,543 --> 01:16:39,577
Professor Dogmouth is there, says,

2072
01:16:39,577 --> 01:16:42,898
"We should go and gather with Aunt Freaky.

2073
01:16:42,898 --> 01:16:44,957
This non book thing,

2074
01:16:44,957 --> 01:16:48,656
it's an absolutely critical breakthrough."

2075
01:16:48,656 --> 01:16:52,061
You see here looks- Professor
Dogmouth who has a bunch of,

2076
01:16:52,061 --> 01:16:54,949
you know, pronounced canines,
big jaw, just looks over

2077
01:16:54,949 --> 01:16:59,532
and goes, "Thank you to you
for repairing that device."

2078
01:17:00,758 --> 01:17:02,166
- Mm.

2079
01:17:02,166 --> 01:17:07,074
- We appreciate that your
bunker-dweller tech proficiency

2080
01:17:09,455 --> 01:17:11,592
has come in handy.

2081
01:17:11,592 --> 01:17:14,150
I know that you are part of
the detail of the Carer Van,

2082
01:17:14,150 --> 01:17:19,087
but perhaps a time at the
History Heap would be of benefit.

2083
01:17:19,087 --> 01:17:20,424
- That's- Oh, cool.

2084
01:17:20,424 --> 01:17:23,111
Yeah, I did live in a
bunker for a long time.

2085
01:17:23,111 --> 01:17:24,724
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.

2086
01:17:24,724 --> 01:17:27,420
- But I'll think about coming
to the History Heap, maybe.

2087
01:17:27,420 --> 01:17:28,534
- [Brennan] Mm.

2088
01:17:28,534 --> 01:17:30,363
Mm-hmm?
- Can I roll for Awareness?

2089
01:17:30,363 --> 01:17:32,288
- [Brennan] Yeah, roll for Awareness.

2090
01:17:32,288 --> 01:17:35,224
- I just wanna listen
in to this conversation

2091
01:17:35,224 --> 01:17:39,141
and realize that Quinn
did not bring up the fact

2092
01:17:39,141 --> 01:17:40,997
that she ate her husband.

2093
01:17:40,997 --> 01:17:41,900
(Brennan laughing)
No such thing.

2094
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:44,134
- I think you notice
that, no roll necessary.

2095
01:17:44,134 --> 01:17:45,636
- Mm-hmm.

2096
01:17:45,636 --> 01:17:47,977
- But I think he goes, "Very
well." And you see that-

2097
01:17:47,977 --> 01:17:50,002
- And I'm sorry, it's dunker.

2098
01:17:50,002 --> 01:17:51,316
(Ally and Oscar laughing)

2099
01:17:51,316 --> 01:17:52,971
It's pronounced dunker.

2100
01:17:52,971 --> 01:17:53,804
- Dunkirk?

2101
01:17:53,804 --> 01:17:57,207
- God, here's the thing about that.

2102
01:17:57,207 --> 01:18:02,207
If you're sure about that,
we will double-check. We are-

2103
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:03,113
- I have to know.

2104
01:18:03,113 --> 01:18:07,444
- We are 99% that this makes a "buh" sound

2105
01:18:07,444 --> 01:18:10,534
and this makes a "duh"
sound, but they're close!

2106
01:18:10,534 --> 01:18:12,910
- You're gonna have to
check the math on that.

2107
01:18:12,910 --> 01:18:14,903
- I'll tell you when,
from living down there,

2108
01:18:14,903 --> 01:18:17,255
we just called it the Good Dark.

2109
01:18:17,255 --> 01:18:20,074
- "The Good Dark. Amen."

2110
01:18:20,074 --> 01:18:21,793
You see that Professor Dogmouth-

2111
01:18:21,793 --> 01:18:23,996
- As we turn and we walk,
I think we lock eyes,

2112
01:18:23,996 --> 01:18:25,766
and I link arms with you and I go,

2113
01:18:25,766 --> 01:18:26,929
I ate my husband, I ate my husband,

2114
01:18:26,929 --> 01:18:28,893
I ate my husband, I ate
my husband, I ate him-

2115
01:18:28,893 --> 01:18:30,493
- Let it all out.
- I ate him, zero seasoning.

2116
01:18:30,493 --> 01:18:32,336
Not even salt, Herbie.

2117
01:18:32,336 --> 01:18:34,091
- [Brennan] (laughs) You see-

2118
01:18:34,091 --> 01:18:35,327
- I just have to get it out.

2119
01:18:35,327 --> 01:18:37,378
- As you move away from this place,

2120
01:18:37,378 --> 01:18:39,499
you see that the History
Council gets together and says,

2121
01:18:39,499 --> 01:18:41,981
"Well, we should go to Aunt Freaky's.

2122
01:18:41,981 --> 01:18:43,789
This non books thing is an
incredible breakthrough,

2123
01:18:43,789 --> 01:18:47,458
but it's absolutely
gonna fuck our schedule."

2124
01:18:47,458 --> 01:18:50,682
And you see that he walks off.
(Ally laughing)

2125
01:18:50,682 --> 01:18:54,519
And you guys arrive at
the non book section

2126
01:18:54,519 --> 01:18:55,690
and see a small shelf.

2127
01:18:55,690 --> 01:18:57,116
And Hugi, you can describe for everybody

2128
01:18:57,116 --> 01:18:58,757
what's on that shelf.

2129
01:18:58,757 --> 01:19:02,474
- Yeah, so it looks like
garbage, and I recognize that.

2130
01:19:02,474 --> 01:19:04,761
It just looks like a bunch
of little pieces of garbage.

2131
01:19:04,761 --> 01:19:05,819
No, and I know that it does.
- Stop.

2132
01:19:05,819 --> 01:19:06,652
- [Oscar] Beautiful.

2133
01:19:06,652 --> 01:19:07,485
- And I know and I recognize that.

2134
01:19:07,485 --> 01:19:08,472
I just wanna say it's like-

2135
01:19:08,472 --> 01:19:09,456
- It's funky!

2136
01:19:09,456 --> 01:19:10,732
- Well, so here's the thing.

2137
01:19:10,732 --> 01:19:12,732
I don't know if you guys have noticed.

2138
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,933
This place makes people from
here a little bit crazy.

2139
01:19:16,933 --> 01:19:17,766
- I know.

2140
01:19:17,766 --> 01:19:18,729
- I don't know if that's been a thing

2141
01:19:18,729 --> 01:19:19,979
that you've noticed at all.

2142
01:19:19,979 --> 01:19:21,322
- I definitely noticed that.
- Immediately.

2143
01:19:21,322 --> 01:19:22,761
- I mean, I just met my new brother,

2144
01:19:22,761 --> 01:19:25,017
and he was terrible at the start.

2145
01:19:25,017 --> 01:19:27,256
Knocked me into a wall.
- Yeah, yeah.

2146
01:19:27,256 --> 01:19:29,051
- Seems like a high-stress situation

2147
01:19:29,051 --> 01:19:31,533
like when you find out a lot of

2148
01:19:31,533 --> 01:19:36,165
EMT drivers struggle with substance abuse.

2149
01:19:36,165 --> 01:19:37,303
- Huh?

2150
01:19:37,303 --> 01:19:39,411
- And EMT stands...?

2151
01:19:39,411 --> 01:19:42,160
- Electric-magnetic teedled.

2152
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:42,993
- Right.

2153
01:19:42,993 --> 01:19:44,660
- Struggle with substance... (laughs)

2154
01:19:44,660 --> 01:19:46,505
- [Vic] Okay.
(Oscar laughing)

2155
01:19:46,505 --> 01:19:47,398
- That's awesome.

2156
01:19:47,398 --> 01:19:48,673
- [Vic] Yeah.
(Oscar cackling)

2157
01:19:48,673 --> 01:19:50,305
- And that's not KoKoMo. That's just Jake.

2158
01:19:50,305 --> 01:19:52,618
- Just kinda high stress.
- No, Jake's here!

2159
01:19:52,618 --> 01:19:53,868
You brought Jake out!
- Get him outta here!

2160
01:19:53,868 --> 01:19:55,073
- [Jacob] Jacob thinks that's awesome.

2161
01:19:55,073 --> 01:19:55,906
- You got Jake out.

2162
01:19:55,906 --> 01:19:57,285
- You have no lines.

2163
01:19:57,285 --> 01:19:59,121
- Oh, cool, cool, cool.

2164
01:19:59,121 --> 01:20:01,985
- I'm positive that can
all be cut. I'm positive.

2165
01:20:01,985 --> 01:20:03,279
- No, leave it in. It's
an important message.

2166
01:20:03,279 --> 01:20:04,796
- I hope you leave it in,
but I'm positive it could be-

2167
01:20:04,796 --> 01:20:06,623
- Not if I call it back in three minutes.

2168
01:20:06,623 --> 01:20:09,434
(Ally and Oscar laughing)

2169
01:20:09,434 --> 01:20:10,567
- So, um...

2170
01:20:10,567 --> 01:20:12,400
- [Ally] Yeah.
(gentle wistful music)

2171
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:13,782
- My cousin and I, when we were little,

2172
01:20:13,782 --> 01:20:15,038
we would, like, run around.

2173
01:20:15,038 --> 01:20:15,909
And I kept being like,

2174
01:20:15,909 --> 01:20:17,400
"This is garbage, this is trash,"

2175
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,162
and he's like, "No,
it's really beautiful."

2176
01:20:19,162 --> 01:20:21,491
And he was always really good
at finding stuff like that.

2177
01:20:21,491 --> 01:20:23,579
And so we would hide it
'cause obviously it's trash

2178
01:20:23,579 --> 01:20:26,238
and trash is not useful,
and so it would be burned.

2179
01:20:26,238 --> 01:20:27,768
And so we would hide it here,

2180
01:20:27,768 --> 01:20:29,893
and we found these little...

2181
01:20:29,893 --> 01:20:31,295
If you look at the backside of a wrapper,

2182
01:20:31,295 --> 01:20:32,656
it's kinda shiny, actually.

2183
01:20:32,656 --> 01:20:34,476
And this one in particular, you can

2184
01:20:34,476 --> 01:20:36,529
see sort of a warped
reflection of yourself

2185
01:20:36,529 --> 01:20:38,554
so it's kinda like a
mirror, but kind of like,

2186
01:20:38,554 --> 01:20:41,372
it's fun when you look at
it so we kept that one.

2187
01:20:41,372 --> 01:20:42,611
- This is cool stuff.

2188
01:20:42,611 --> 01:20:43,444
- Thanks.

2189
01:20:43,444 --> 01:20:45,308
- I wandered the desert
looking for cool stuff

2190
01:20:45,308 --> 01:20:46,575
for a long time.
- Yeah.

2191
01:20:46,575 --> 01:20:47,943
- Yeah, this stuff's not trash.

2192
01:20:47,943 --> 01:20:51,768
Like this, this tiny
little cap-looking thing

2193
01:20:51,768 --> 01:20:54,212
could be a hat for Ash.

2194
01:20:54,212 --> 01:20:56,120
- Yeah.
- Not trash.

2195
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:57,243
- Yeah.
- Treasure!

2196
01:20:57,243 --> 01:20:58,518
- It's pretty cool to me.

2197
01:20:58,518 --> 01:21:00,002
- Okay, well...
- What does it say?

2198
01:21:00,002 --> 01:21:01,413
Mount-ain Dew.

2199
01:21:01,413 --> 01:21:02,711
- Wonder what that is?

2200
01:21:02,711 --> 01:21:04,122
- Mount-ain Dew.

2201
01:21:04,122 --> 01:21:05,269
- Mount-ain Dew.

2202
01:21:05,269 --> 01:21:06,531
- Mount-ain Dew.

2203
01:21:06,531 --> 01:21:09,346
- Mount-ain Dew.
- But um, you guys,

2204
01:21:09,346 --> 01:21:13,146
we really can't leave, you know?

2205
01:21:14,425 --> 01:21:17,875
It's like, about 12 years ago,

2206
01:21:18,772 --> 01:21:22,291
me and my cousin Muni
were gonna be doctors.

2207
01:21:22,291 --> 01:21:24,629
We went through all of
our training, like 27,

2208
01:21:24,629 --> 01:21:26,105
and it was really exciting.

2209
01:21:26,105 --> 01:21:28,543
Muni was really good at the doctor stuff,

2210
01:21:28,543 --> 01:21:29,950
and right away they were like,

2211
01:21:29,950 --> 01:21:32,579
"You're gonna be charge of all
the bedside manner things."

2212
01:21:32,579 --> 01:21:33,570
You know, like, "You're gonna be in charge

2213
01:21:33,570 --> 01:21:35,369
of diagnosis and helping people."

2214
01:21:35,369 --> 01:21:38,929
And he was incredible at
it. Was, like, amazing.

2215
01:21:38,929 --> 01:21:40,460
I didn't know what I wanted to do exactly

2216
01:21:40,460 --> 01:21:43,243
so I was just sorta bopping around.

2217
01:21:43,243 --> 01:21:46,797
And one day, we were driving back home,

2218
01:21:46,797 --> 01:21:48,926
just across the Waste.

2219
01:21:48,926 --> 01:21:51,554
And we were talking and I don't remember

2220
01:21:51,554 --> 01:21:53,661
exactly what we were talking about,

2221
01:21:53,661 --> 01:21:55,985
but he was laughing really hard, and

2222
01:21:57,744 --> 01:22:00,632
then he just stopped laughing.

2223
01:22:00,632 --> 01:22:02,049
And I turned over,

2224
01:22:03,435 --> 01:22:05,173
and he was just gone.

2225
01:22:05,173 --> 01:22:07,111
(soft sorrowful music)

2226
01:22:07,111 --> 01:22:09,428
Yeah, they think maybe it was an aneurysm

2227
01:22:09,428 --> 01:22:10,399
or something like that.

2228
01:22:10,399 --> 01:22:14,363
We don't really know. He just
was here and then he was gone.

2229
01:22:15,288 --> 01:22:17,479
And you know,

2230
01:22:19,486 --> 01:22:20,931
when you love somebody

2231
01:22:20,931 --> 01:22:23,429
and then that love doesn't
have anywhere to go,

2232
01:22:24,604 --> 01:22:25,906
and they say that that's grief,

2233
01:22:25,906 --> 01:22:30,356
and I think that when the grief
doesn't have anywhere to go,

2234
01:22:31,900 --> 01:22:34,515
it just turns rotten sometimes,

2235
01:22:34,515 --> 01:22:38,800
and I'm kinda scared it's
what's happening with me.

2236
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:43,550
- Is that why you sort of
hesitate to take off your mask?

2237
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:49,078
Listen, I know what
it's like to be in drag,

2238
01:22:49,970 --> 01:22:52,393
but to me, drag is an escape.

2239
01:22:52,393 --> 01:22:55,922
It's who I am externalized.

2240
01:22:55,922 --> 01:22:58,524
But you use your drag to hide.

2241
01:22:58,524 --> 01:23:00,366
- And then I just wanna sorta like,

2242
01:23:00,366 --> 01:23:03,982
(latch clicks)
unclip the back of my mask

2243
01:23:03,982 --> 01:23:08,982
and just sorta slowly take it
off and sorta cradle the mask.

2244
01:23:10,743 --> 01:23:11,576
- Whoa.

2245
01:23:11,576 --> 01:23:12,536
- Wow.

2246
01:23:12,536 --> 01:23:16,346
- [Brennan] I think that you
would all probably see a level

2247
01:23:16,346 --> 01:23:20,309
of indentation where the
mask touches the skin,

2248
01:23:20,309 --> 01:23:22,647
and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong,

2249
01:23:22,647 --> 01:23:26,571
but there's probably no
way to look at the ridges

2250
01:23:26,571 --> 01:23:29,526
of pressed skin that does not conclude

2251
01:23:29,526 --> 01:23:33,881
that there is a degree of pain

2252
01:23:33,881 --> 01:23:37,033
and tightness in keeping that on.

2253
01:23:37,033 --> 01:23:38,835
- Yeah, for sure.

2254
01:23:38,835 --> 01:23:41,764
As you know, when people
die in the History Heap,

2255
01:23:41,764 --> 01:23:42,963
it's like, a little bit different here.

2256
01:23:42,963 --> 01:23:44,170
In most places, it's something

2257
01:23:44,170 --> 01:23:46,156
that you get people
around and you celebrate.

2258
01:23:46,156 --> 01:23:50,736
And when you leave here,
you just kind of disappear,

2259
01:23:50,736 --> 01:23:52,936
and I couldn't let that happen.

2260
01:23:52,936 --> 01:23:57,784
So, I don't know, I built
something as special as he was

2261
01:23:57,784 --> 01:24:02,784
to remember him for myself,
and everybody really liked it

2262
01:24:04,071 --> 01:24:06,778
and they started asking me
to do it for other people.

2263
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,011
And so I started traveling around

2264
01:24:10,011 --> 01:24:11,656
and then people were requesting it,

2265
01:24:11,656 --> 01:24:15,808
and I started making
it unique to as unique

2266
01:24:15,808 --> 01:24:19,250
as the people were in which I
was providing the service for.

2267
01:24:19,250 --> 01:24:20,497
And if I can't do that for people,

2268
01:24:20,497 --> 01:24:22,358
then they just don't get that.

2269
01:24:23,333 --> 01:24:25,891
Nobody else wants to do
this job. I have asked.

2270
01:24:25,891 --> 01:24:29,268
I have tried to get people to help,

2271
01:24:29,268 --> 01:24:32,263
and it's not the kind of
thing you can make people do.

2272
01:24:32,263 --> 01:24:34,904
It's not like being a nurse

2273
01:24:34,904 --> 01:24:36,475
where you can train people for it.

2274
01:24:36,475 --> 01:24:38,506
You have to want to do this,

2275
01:24:38,506 --> 01:24:41,589
otherwise people just

2276
01:24:42,568 --> 01:24:44,667
slip away and that's it.

2277
01:24:44,667 --> 01:24:46,614
And I want- I so badly want you guys

2278
01:24:46,614 --> 01:24:47,909
to have the things that you wanna have.

2279
01:24:47,909 --> 01:24:48,742
I want that.

2280
01:24:48,742 --> 01:24:51,580
I want that for you, but I'm
so scared if I'm not here,

2281
01:24:51,580 --> 01:24:53,426
then what happens, you know?

2282
01:24:54,376 --> 01:24:56,008
- That's how you started.

2283
01:24:56,008 --> 01:24:59,057
You first did the procession for Muni?

2284
01:24:59,057 --> 01:25:00,122
- Yeah.

2285
01:25:00,122 --> 01:25:01,278
- [Ally] Whoa.

2286
01:25:01,278 --> 01:25:04,284
- And then I didn't go
back to the hospital and...

2287
01:25:05,542 --> 01:25:09,042
Yeah, so my medical
training gets used to...

2288
01:25:10,977 --> 01:25:13,447
If people need coroner
services, I go do that.

2289
01:25:13,447 --> 01:25:16,395
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Okay, I understand.

2290
01:25:16,395 --> 01:25:18,624
I'm also dealing with something similar.

2291
01:25:18,624 --> 01:25:23,624
I fear like I'm being
selfish going over there

2292
01:25:23,777 --> 01:25:28,777
to find what I think would help
people to find some fiction.

2293
01:25:30,236 --> 01:25:35,236
This Spear Shaker, I've heard
stories, fictional stories

2294
01:25:35,861 --> 01:25:39,188
that I think are powerful
enough to change people's minds,

2295
01:25:39,188 --> 01:25:41,812
but it's not what the Gladlands needs,

2296
01:25:41,812 --> 01:25:43,976
according to the History Heap,

2297
01:25:43,976 --> 01:25:47,437
but I feel like it can
invoke so much change.

2298
01:25:47,437 --> 01:25:48,770
And going there,

2299
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:53,428
I'm scared that I'm
making the wrong decision,

2300
01:25:53,428 --> 01:25:58,428
sacrificing the good of people's
needs and wants for my own.

2301
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:03,382
But when have you ever
sacrificed other people's needs

2302
01:26:03,382 --> 01:26:05,429
(gentle warm music)
for your self-interest?

2303
01:26:05,429 --> 01:26:06,264
- What do you mean?

2304
01:26:06,264 --> 01:26:08,890
- Like, you just do whatever you wanna do,

2305
01:26:08,890 --> 01:26:12,322
no matter what people need from you.

2306
01:26:12,322 --> 01:26:13,730
- I don't understand.

2307
01:26:13,730 --> 01:26:15,278
- I mean-
- You know, like-

2308
01:26:15,278 --> 01:26:19,278
- Like your own Bub's Day
for you and nobody else.

2309
01:26:20,179 --> 01:26:22,718
- Like a Bub's Day that
was like a Hugi Day?

2310
01:26:22,718 --> 01:26:24,133
- Hugi Day.
- Hugi Day.

2311
01:26:24,133 --> 01:26:26,388
- Where Hugi just does whatever you want.

2312
01:26:26,388 --> 01:26:28,812
- Or even a Hugi hour.

2313
01:26:28,812 --> 01:26:30,954
- We could start with a Hugi minute.

2314
01:26:30,954 --> 01:26:33,212
- [Oscar] Where you take
off the mask and you just-

2315
01:26:33,212 --> 01:26:34,045
- Like what? Like-

2316
01:26:34,045 --> 01:26:34,878
- Do things for you.

2317
01:26:34,878 --> 01:26:37,908
- One time my dad went
down a hill on his own.

2318
01:26:38,916 --> 01:26:42,077
No one was there to tell him...

2319
01:26:42,077 --> 01:26:44,018
I was there like, "Please stop."

2320
01:26:44,018 --> 01:26:45,415
And he was like, "I got..."

2321
01:26:45,415 --> 01:26:48,715
I think he meant this. He
was like, "I gotta do me."

2322
01:26:48,715 --> 01:26:49,548
- Right.

2323
01:26:49,548 --> 01:26:50,403
- I'm really sorry that happened to you.

2324
01:26:50,403 --> 01:26:51,250
- [Vic] Down the hill.

2325
01:26:51,250 --> 01:26:52,250
- Thank you.

2326
01:26:53,246 --> 01:26:55,244
- Were you able to get your father back?

2327
01:26:55,244 --> 01:26:56,542
- He's still at the bottom of that hill,

2328
01:26:56,542 --> 01:26:57,662
I'm pretty sure.
- What?

2329
01:26:57,662 --> 01:26:58,698
- But he's happy.
- You saw it happen.

2330
01:26:58,698 --> 01:27:00,259
Why didn't you go get him?
- [Ally] What?

2331
01:27:00,259 --> 01:27:04,828
- 'Cause I had to let
him do him and me do me.

2332
01:27:04,828 --> 01:27:05,661
- [Vic] That was the
last time you saw your-

2333
01:27:05,661 --> 01:27:09,302
- And my condor mom do condor mom.

2334
01:27:09,302 --> 01:27:12,412
- [Kimia] Yeah...
- Hugi, I don't know.

2335
01:27:12,412 --> 01:27:13,245
- Thank you for sharing.
- I think maybe one

2336
01:27:13,245 --> 01:27:15,810
of the issues that you're feeling,

2337
01:27:15,810 --> 01:27:17,512
I'm just curious if
this resonates with you,

2338
01:27:17,512 --> 01:27:19,749
but I feel like some of this kind of

2339
01:27:19,749 --> 01:27:24,724
more personal relationship-based work

2340
01:27:26,035 --> 01:27:29,940
that's coming from a
thing very deep inside

2341
01:27:29,940 --> 01:27:33,776
is sometimes passed down through families.

2342
01:27:33,776 --> 01:27:34,609
- Mm-hmm.

2343
01:27:34,609 --> 01:27:37,009
- I could so see that feeling extra hard

2344
01:27:37,009 --> 01:27:39,170
'cause maybe this was, like,

2345
01:27:39,170 --> 01:27:41,658
one of the last people in your family

2346
01:27:41,658 --> 01:27:44,325
that could have this connection.

2347
01:27:45,390 --> 01:27:47,983
So maybe we can just
kinda be on the lookout

2348
01:27:47,983 --> 01:27:49,606
for if someone has that spark

2349
01:27:49,606 --> 01:27:51,065
and maybe you would want to teach them,

2350
01:27:51,065 --> 01:27:53,706
but in the meantime, I would
be really down to kinda like-

2351
01:27:53,706 --> 01:27:55,838
I don't feel like I really have a role.

2352
01:27:55,838 --> 01:27:57,156
I would love to apprentice a little.

2353
01:27:57,156 --> 01:27:58,927
I don't think I'll ever
be as gifted as you,

2354
01:27:58,927 --> 01:28:01,755
but maybe we could start writing it down

2355
01:28:01,755 --> 01:28:04,265
and have some kind of

2356
01:28:04,265 --> 01:28:05,519
a tradition or something like that.

2357
01:28:05,519 --> 01:28:06,676
- Well, and this isn't a jab,

2358
01:28:06,676 --> 01:28:09,859
but you're kind of good
around dead bodies already.

2359
01:28:11,451 --> 01:28:13,304
- [Kimia] KoKoMo!
- It's not a jab.

2360
01:28:13,304 --> 01:28:15,247
- No, it's true, and I do appreciate that.

2361
01:28:15,247 --> 01:28:18,370
- Sometimes you have to say
hard things to be a good friend.

2362
01:28:18,370 --> 01:28:19,203
- That's true.

2363
01:28:19,203 --> 01:28:20,517
- I just wanna say something to the group.

2364
01:28:20,517 --> 01:28:22,107
It's not really that I'm a cannibal.

2365
01:28:22,107 --> 01:28:25,297
It's just that I really
break down under stress

2366
01:28:25,297 --> 01:28:28,064
just a little bit earlier
than anybody else would.

2367
01:28:28,064 --> 01:28:30,323
- You see Ash goes, "What? You're a what?"

2368
01:28:30,323 --> 01:28:32,168
(Jacob and Oscar laughing)

2369
01:28:32,168 --> 01:28:33,778
- Look, I did eat my husband,

2370
01:28:33,778 --> 01:28:35,605
but the issue wasn't me eating him.

2371
01:28:35,605 --> 01:28:37,498
Anyone would have done that
given the amount of time.

2372
01:28:37,498 --> 01:28:40,062
I just did it a little bit too early.

2373
01:28:40,062 --> 01:28:41,751
I just did it a little bit too early.

2374
01:28:41,751 --> 01:28:42,584
- I'm just gonna go,

2375
01:28:42,584 --> 01:28:44,544
hey, hey, I really appreciate
that, and you know,

2376
01:28:44,544 --> 01:28:46,667
I don't even think we need
to fix this right now.

2377
01:28:46,667 --> 01:28:48,302
I just really-

2378
01:28:48,302 --> 01:28:49,135
- Yeah, you're right.

2379
01:28:49,135 --> 01:28:50,604
- But sometimes just the hope helps.

2380
01:28:50,604 --> 01:28:51,437
- [Vic] I really appreciate-

2381
01:28:51,437 --> 01:28:54,382
- Just knowing that some relief
might be somewhere helps.

2382
01:28:54,382 --> 01:28:55,215
- Yeah.

2383
01:28:55,215 --> 01:28:58,019
- Like I have two other
siblings. Who knows?

2384
01:28:58,019 --> 01:29:01,460
They might be freaking
fire-breathing buggos.

2385
01:29:01,460 --> 01:29:04,372
They could help. There might be help.

2386
01:29:04,372 --> 01:29:05,393
- Why would the fire breathing
help in this situation?

2387
01:29:05,393 --> 01:29:07,184
(players chattering over each other)

2388
01:29:07,184 --> 01:29:08,337
- To cremate the body.
I mean, it makes sense.

2389
01:29:08,337 --> 01:29:09,430
- [Vic] Oh, oh, to cremate the bodies.

2390
01:29:09,430 --> 01:29:10,642
- They might already
have half the knowledge!

2391
01:29:10,642 --> 01:29:12,395
- Good at that.
- Right, okay.

2392
01:29:12,395 --> 01:29:16,908
- And Hugi, I don't think
I could be like you.

2393
01:29:16,908 --> 01:29:18,722
I couldn't do it like you do it,

2394
01:29:18,722 --> 01:29:20,928
but maybe we could all
kinda help a little.

2395
01:29:20,928 --> 01:29:22,511
- [Ally] Yeah.

2396
01:29:22,511 --> 01:29:26,180
- It's like the story
in the Dome of Dreams.

2397
01:29:26,180 --> 01:29:30,527
We were all inchworms working
together to build a hut.

2398
01:29:30,527 --> 01:29:32,615
We can do that here too.

2399
01:29:32,615 --> 01:29:35,887
Sometimes we tell stories
that we don't even listen to.

2400
01:29:35,887 --> 01:29:36,970
- Hm.

2401
01:29:36,970 --> 01:29:39,224
- [Oscar] And I'm guilty of doing that.

2402
01:29:39,224 --> 01:29:42,609
- Heck, we could make a
story that's totally our own

2403
01:29:42,609 --> 01:29:44,496
and we don't even know what's gonna happen

2404
01:29:44,496 --> 01:29:47,164
and we don't even know how it's gonna end.

2405
01:29:47,164 --> 01:29:49,345
We could make it our own.

2406
01:29:49,345 --> 01:29:50,195
- Slackline.

2407
01:29:50,195 --> 01:29:51,307
- [Jacob] We could surprise us.

2408
01:29:51,307 --> 01:29:52,222
- I wanna slackline.

2409
01:29:52,222 --> 01:29:53,271
- Did you say slackline?
(Kimia gasps)

2410
01:29:53,271 --> 01:29:54,244
- You wanna slackline?

2411
01:29:54,244 --> 01:29:55,108
- [Ally] What?

2412
01:29:55,108 --> 01:29:56,175
- [Zac] You wanna slackline?

2413
01:29:56,175 --> 01:29:57,954
- Kinda like barefoot

2414
01:29:57,954 --> 01:30:00,538
in between trees?
- Between two trees?

2415
01:30:00,538 --> 01:30:01,573
- In a quad?

2416
01:30:01,573 --> 01:30:02,406
- [Ally] In a quad?

2417
01:30:02,406 --> 01:30:04,222
- You guys see, entering
into this non book area,

2418
01:30:04,222 --> 01:30:06,407
you see Void walks in.

2419
01:30:06,407 --> 01:30:07,240
- Void!

2420
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:08,073
- [Brennan] Void says-

2421
01:30:08,073 --> 01:30:09,899
- You're being celebrated!
- Congratulations!

2422
01:30:09,899 --> 01:30:11,375
- Thank you so much.
- Congratulations.

2423
01:30:11,375 --> 01:30:12,535
- KoKoMo!
- [Brennan] Thank you.

2424
01:30:12,535 --> 01:30:15,618
Hey, that thing, the music, that's...

2425
01:30:16,761 --> 01:30:18,422
I thought it would be words,

2426
01:30:18,422 --> 01:30:20,720
it would make writing,
but it can make sounds.

2427
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:22,931
It can have voices!

2428
01:30:22,931 --> 01:30:26,163
(pants) I came because
the History Heap wants,

2429
01:30:26,163 --> 01:30:29,182
your aunt wants you to come right away.

2430
01:30:29,182 --> 01:30:30,503
The History Council's

2431
01:30:30,503 --> 01:30:32,262
actually all gathered at Aunt Freaky's.

2432
01:30:32,262 --> 01:30:34,253
- Okay, yes. Yes, of course.

2433
01:30:34,253 --> 01:30:36,687
- Just want to mirror
back at you really quick.

2434
01:30:36,687 --> 01:30:38,849
What you do is so incredibly special,

2435
01:30:38,849 --> 01:30:41,002
and I do understand that
that's a burden on you,

2436
01:30:41,002 --> 01:30:43,302
and that's really not fair.

2437
01:30:45,009 --> 01:30:47,354
- Thank you.
- I'm gonna squeeze my elbow

2438
01:30:47,354 --> 01:30:50,415
and get some KoKoMo lard.

2439
01:30:50,415 --> 01:30:51,248
- [Brennan] Yeah.

2440
01:30:51,248 --> 01:30:53,927
- And gently put it on

2441
01:30:53,927 --> 01:30:54,882
(Ally gasps)

2442
01:30:54,882 --> 01:30:56,160
the spaces in which-

2443
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:57,238
- [Brennan] Where the mask is cut in?

2444
01:30:57,238 --> 01:30:59,065
- [Jacob] Like a sort of...

2445
01:30:59,065 --> 01:31:00,133
- [Brennan] Incredible.

2446
01:31:00,133 --> 01:31:03,988
Go ahead and give me a Warmth
check, difficulty of five.

2447
01:31:03,988 --> 01:31:05,312
- [Ally] Come on.
(die clacks)

2448
01:31:05,312 --> 01:31:06,723
- 12!
- I'm gonna Bungle it.

2449
01:31:06,723 --> 01:31:08,691
- [Brennan] (laughs) More Bungling?

2450
01:31:08,691 --> 01:31:11,417
All right, go ahead and
subtract your Warmth from it.

2451
01:31:11,417 --> 01:31:12,430
Are you throwing another larva in there?

2452
01:31:12,430 --> 01:31:13,263
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.

2453
01:31:13,263 --> 01:31:14,096
- [Brennan] All right.
Great, great, great.

2454
01:31:14,096 --> 01:31:14,929
- How many are left?

2455
01:31:14,929 --> 01:31:15,762
- You've used one already, right?

2456
01:31:15,762 --> 01:31:16,595
- I've used one.

2457
01:31:16,595 --> 01:31:17,428
- [Zac] So I have five left.

2458
01:31:17,428 --> 01:31:18,399
- [Vic] Yeah.
- So that's 12.

2459
01:31:18,399 --> 01:31:20,873
You take two, you take two...

2460
01:31:20,873 --> 01:31:22,516
Oh, you take four and you take two.

2461
01:31:22,516 --> 01:31:25,584
(sad guitar string twangs)
And, KoKoMo, as you apply that

2462
01:31:25,584 --> 01:31:27,457
go ahead and roll...

2463
01:31:27,457 --> 01:31:29,578
Oh, did you beat it by five
or more? You did, right?

2464
01:31:29,578 --> 01:31:31,304
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah.

2465
01:31:31,304 --> 01:31:33,505
Go ahead and roll 2d4 for me.

2466
01:31:33,505 --> 01:31:34,467
- 2d4. May I borrow?

2467
01:31:34,467 --> 01:31:35,517
- [Kimia] Mm-hmm.

2468
01:31:37,044 --> 01:31:38,347
(dice tap table)

2469
01:31:38,347 --> 01:31:39,180
- Three and one.

2470
01:31:39,180 --> 01:31:40,991
- You may reduce your
Bummerometer by four.

2471
01:31:40,991 --> 01:31:42,657
- [Ally] It's at the yellow!

2472
01:31:42,657 --> 01:31:44,993
- One, two, three, four!

2473
01:31:44,993 --> 01:31:46,257
- Oh my gosh.
- Yes.

2474
01:31:46,257 --> 01:31:49,249
- And I will ask this, and
there's no wrong answer.

2475
01:31:49,249 --> 01:31:54,070
I will either allow you to
take a number of Boo-Boos

2476
01:31:54,070 --> 01:31:56,181
equal to that four, so
you take four Boo-Boos,

2477
01:31:56,181 --> 01:31:59,400
or if you feel that it makes sense to,

2478
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,176
one of your burned-out
dice can come back online.

2479
01:32:02,176 --> 01:32:03,957
But it's whichever you
think is more realistic.

2480
01:32:03,957 --> 01:32:04,790
Either you have

2481
01:32:04,790 --> 01:32:06,107
more resolve and
determination going forward,

2482
01:32:06,107 --> 01:32:07,151
but you're still burnt out,

2483
01:32:07,151 --> 01:32:10,463
or you're slightly
healed by that ointment.

2484
01:32:10,463 --> 01:32:12,907
- I think I'd like to
take the Boo-Boos for now.

2485
01:32:12,907 --> 01:32:13,958
- [Brennan] Good. Go for it.
- [Jacob] Makes sense.

2486
01:32:13,958 --> 01:32:14,843
- Yeah.

2487
01:32:14,843 --> 01:32:16,393
- You take those Boo-Boos.
(sad guitar string twangs)

2488
01:32:16,393 --> 01:32:17,428
You guys head off.

2489
01:32:17,428 --> 01:32:18,538
Walking back into Aunt Freaky's den,

2490
01:32:18,538 --> 01:32:20,525
you see that her, Professor Dogmouth,

2491
01:32:20,525 --> 01:32:23,469
several other professors of
the History Heap are all here.

2492
01:32:23,469 --> 01:32:25,743
It becomes quite a compact space.

2493
01:32:25,743 --> 01:32:27,360
You're also here with the
other Carer Van people.

2494
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,723
I think Ash and Breaker
are off to one side.

2495
01:32:29,723 --> 01:32:32,282
Rubby is standing near the door.

2496
01:32:32,282 --> 01:32:33,901
You don't see Parcel anywhere.

2497
01:32:33,901 --> 01:32:34,734
- I was gonna ask.

2498
01:32:34,734 --> 01:32:36,846
- But you see Aunt Freaky there.

2499
01:32:36,846 --> 01:32:39,230
As you walk in, she whips something out

2500
01:32:39,230 --> 01:32:43,285
from the crook of her
arm, this little place,

2501
01:32:43,285 --> 01:32:47,410
and you see quickly deposits Muni's skull

2502
01:32:48,301 --> 01:32:50,099
on the table near her,

2503
01:32:50,099 --> 01:32:52,437
something that you've
not seen in a long time.

2504
01:32:52,437 --> 01:32:56,891
She looks and says, "Ah! Hugi, welcome.

2505
01:32:56,891 --> 01:32:59,517
The discovery of these,

2506
01:32:59,517 --> 01:33:03,072
I suppose as we will now have
to call them, laser books

2507
01:33:03,072 --> 01:33:05,615
is of great interest to us.

2508
01:33:05,615 --> 01:33:09,780
The Carer Van has come
at a fascinating time.

2509
01:33:09,780 --> 01:33:13,680
We appreciate the bringing
of food and water,

2510
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,708
and the matter has come up for

2511
01:33:16,708 --> 01:33:20,008
the decoupling of the Truthbrary

2512
01:33:21,185 --> 01:33:25,728
from the crematorium kiln,
from the ash maker's kiln.

2513
01:33:25,728 --> 01:33:29,447
But of course, you have just
aided us in a tremendous way.

2514
01:33:29,447 --> 01:33:32,806
We owe you a debt of service.

2515
01:33:32,806 --> 01:33:36,132
Hugi, I wished to speak
to you in particular."

2516
01:33:36,132 --> 01:33:37,103
- Yes.

2517
01:33:37,103 --> 01:33:41,303
- [Brennan] Because
this matter before us...

2518
01:33:42,327 --> 01:33:47,302
Essentially, Hugi, I think
there may be some need

2519
01:33:49,374 --> 01:33:54,374
for a reexamining of priorities here.

2520
01:33:54,533 --> 01:33:57,224
It's come to my attention
that Void has been reinstated.

2521
01:33:57,224 --> 01:34:01,517
(sighs) While the discovery was made,

2522
01:34:01,517 --> 01:34:04,170
the discovery was not made by Void,

2523
01:34:04,170 --> 01:34:08,053
and Void did still disobey
a direct intercession

2524
01:34:08,053 --> 01:34:12,822
from the History Council,
and it is my opinion

2525
01:34:12,822 --> 01:34:15,855
that if anyone were to be placed in charge

2526
01:34:15,855 --> 01:34:20,855
of the laser book section,
it would be Quinn Wedbush,

2527
01:34:21,105 --> 01:34:24,252
whose breakthrough allowed this to occur.

2528
01:34:24,252 --> 01:34:26,706
And I believe that Void,

2529
01:34:26,706 --> 01:34:31,706
as punishment for destroying
historical artifacts,

2530
01:34:31,846 --> 01:34:34,780
should be taken into your care and...

2531
01:34:34,780 --> 01:34:39,540
Well, we need more ash makers,
and I think that Void should,

2532
01:34:39,540 --> 01:34:42,290
as punishment, be made to do it.

2533
01:34:43,251 --> 01:34:44,084
- Hm.

2534
01:34:44,994 --> 01:34:45,827
No.

2535
01:34:48,971 --> 01:34:50,057
- [Brennan] I'm sorry?

2536
01:34:51,590 --> 01:34:52,423
- No.

2537
01:34:53,334 --> 01:34:57,602
- No to what, exactly, Hugi?

2538
01:34:57,602 --> 01:34:59,581
(tense pensive music)

2539
01:34:59,581 --> 01:35:01,183
- All of it.

2540
01:35:01,183 --> 01:35:03,693
- I'm going to need a Determination roll.

2541
01:35:03,693 --> 01:35:07,850
- I press the mini
chainsaw into their hand.

2542
01:35:07,850 --> 01:35:10,991
- [Brennan] I'm gonna
need a Determination roll.

2543
01:35:10,991 --> 01:35:15,991
- If I burn out, can I get
an auto-success on this?

2544
01:35:16,528 --> 01:35:18,685
- Burn out your second to last die?

2545
01:35:18,685 --> 01:35:19,518
- Mm-hmm.

2546
01:35:19,518 --> 01:35:20,351
- [Brennan] Yeah, go for it.

2547
01:35:20,351 --> 01:35:21,184
- Okay.

2548
01:35:21,184 --> 01:35:24,360
- As you are filled with
determination in this moment,

2549
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:28,159
your second to last ability is what?

2550
01:35:28,159 --> 01:35:28,992
- Awareness.

2551
01:35:28,992 --> 01:35:33,742
- Awareness. So all of your
vision is like tunnel vision.

2552
01:35:34,859 --> 01:35:36,623
All of it scans down.

2553
01:35:36,623 --> 01:35:40,656
You see Aunt Freaky goes,
"Hugi, need I remind you,

2554
01:35:40,656 --> 01:35:43,545
your role as ash maker was provisional

2555
01:35:43,545 --> 01:35:48,545
given that the lead ash maker
died suddenly and abruptly

2556
01:35:49,372 --> 01:35:52,394
while solely in your company.

2557
01:35:52,394 --> 01:35:54,878
You are, as you have always been,

2558
01:35:54,878 --> 01:35:56,800
the runner-up to that position."

2559
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:59,145
- Oh.
- [Brennan] We must...

2560
01:35:59,145 --> 01:36:04,126
we must ensure the future
stability of the Gladlands.

2561
01:36:04,126 --> 01:36:07,936
If funereal proceedings
are not widespread,

2562
01:36:07,936 --> 01:36:12,394
then everyone hinges on
a unique failure point.

2563
01:36:12,394 --> 01:36:15,664
Your inability to convince anyone else

2564
01:36:15,664 --> 01:36:19,388
to study ash making with you
has left us at this crossroads,

2565
01:36:19,388 --> 01:36:22,523
and now, at least, a
punitive measure may be taken

2566
01:36:22,523 --> 01:36:26,995
to ensure that at least
someone is studying this craft.

2567
01:36:26,995 --> 01:36:28,542
- This is no runner-up!

2568
01:36:28,542 --> 01:36:30,097
- It's okay.

2569
01:36:30,097 --> 01:36:32,212
- That's not a runner-up!

2570
01:36:32,212 --> 01:36:35,102
You don't even know! You haven't seen!

2571
01:36:35,102 --> 01:36:40,102
You haven't seen what my
little sibling has done.

2572
01:36:41,316 --> 01:36:43,256
Yeah, that's right!

2573
01:36:43,256 --> 01:36:47,058
We've been all over this
town doing a lot for people,

2574
01:36:47,058 --> 01:36:48,141
and the only person

2575
01:36:48,141 --> 01:36:51,419
who knows how to do those things is Hugi.

2576
01:36:51,419 --> 01:36:53,660
And they never asked

2577
01:36:53,660 --> 01:36:55,968
if anyone else wants to learn, actually.

2578
01:36:55,968 --> 01:36:57,553
So they also haven't failed

2579
01:36:57,553 --> 01:37:01,554
in finding other people to do this job.

2580
01:37:01,554 --> 01:37:05,962
There are people out there.
We just gotta ask for help.

2581
01:37:06,959 --> 01:37:09,137
- I didn't know you still kept his skull.

2582
01:37:10,987 --> 01:37:14,127
- [Brennan] You see here,
everyone from the History Council

2583
01:37:14,127 --> 01:37:16,989
looks over at this skull.

2584
01:37:16,989 --> 01:37:21,215
Bones are a common decoration
item in the Gladlands,

2585
01:37:21,215 --> 01:37:24,135
but you see everyone looks
over, and you see she goes,

2586
01:37:24,135 --> 01:37:24,968
"You recog...

2587
01:37:24,968 --> 01:37:26,326
You recognize this?"

2588
01:37:26,326 --> 01:37:28,653
- Yeah, I didn't think
you were at the service.

2589
01:37:29,937 --> 01:37:31,020
- I wasn't.

2590
01:37:32,016 --> 01:37:34,775
- I kept his skull and I put it

2591
01:37:34,775 --> 01:37:37,457
on top of the place where I
spread the rest of his ashes.

2592
01:37:37,457 --> 01:37:39,299
I didn't realize that anybody took it.

2593
01:37:41,740 --> 01:37:44,787
- It is not for reasons
of rank sentimentality

2594
01:37:44,787 --> 01:37:45,997
that I keep this.

2595
01:37:45,997 --> 01:37:49,730
Obviously, as an ash
maker, you are well aware

2596
01:37:49,730 --> 01:37:52,967
that death is beautiful
and a part of life.

2597
01:37:53,842 --> 01:37:57,578
The actions that were taken at the funeral

2598
01:37:57,578 --> 01:38:02,079
were taken for everybody
to process their feelings.

2599
01:38:02,079 --> 01:38:05,830
The facts of Muni's death were
such that it was a tragedy,

2600
01:38:05,830 --> 01:38:09,148
and in so acknowledging it and
rendering funereal services,

2601
01:38:09,148 --> 01:38:10,937
those feelings were processed.

2602
01:38:10,937 --> 01:38:15,520
- You aren't gonna be able
to know away these feelings.

2603
01:38:17,278 --> 01:38:18,367
- As you say that,

2604
01:38:18,367 --> 01:38:21,441
I would like you to make
a Charm roll for me,

2605
01:38:21,441 --> 01:38:25,018
and I'd like you to
make it with advantage.

2606
01:38:25,018 --> 01:38:26,664
Difficulty, as I've said before,

2607
01:38:26,664 --> 01:38:28,291
we're gonna make this difficulty 15.

2608
01:38:28,291 --> 01:38:30,902
And you could add any
specializations you have here.

2609
01:38:30,902 --> 01:38:32,497
- Okay.

2610
01:38:32,497 --> 01:38:33,330
Okay.

2611
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:38,796
(sighs) Two fives. Plus a two is a seven.

2612
01:38:38,796 --> 01:38:39,629
- [Brennan] Music box.

2613
01:38:39,629 --> 01:38:41,352
(bright gentle music)
- Plus we got a music box.

2614
01:38:41,352 --> 01:38:43,402
- And you've got the chainsaw.
- And I have the chainsaw.

2615
01:38:43,402 --> 01:38:46,027
- Ooh, does the chainsaw and
music box step on each other?

2616
01:38:46,027 --> 01:38:46,860
Do they synchronize?

2617
01:38:46,860 --> 01:38:47,693
- [Brennan] Yeah.

2618
01:38:47,693 --> 01:38:51,228
- I have the chainsaw and
I just go and I... (laughs)

2619
01:38:51,228 --> 01:38:52,973
- [Jacob] Justify, justify.

2620
01:38:52,973 --> 01:38:54,083
- I go, you can't...

2621
01:38:54,083 --> 01:38:56,852
And then I realize a little,
'cause I don't have my mask on,

2622
01:38:56,852 --> 01:38:58,231
a little hair falls into my face,

2623
01:38:58,231 --> 01:38:59,463
and I just take the chainsaw

2624
01:38:59,463 --> 01:39:01,580
and I gently brush it off of my face.

2625
01:39:01,580 --> 01:39:03,069
(Oscar laughing)
- Just brush it away.

2626
01:39:03,069 --> 01:39:04,743
Remind me what the music box does.

2627
01:39:04,743 --> 01:39:06,375
- "Once per session, you
can play this music box

2628
01:39:06,375 --> 01:39:07,299
for another character to

2629
01:39:07,299 --> 01:39:08,573
allow them to re-roll a failed check

2630
01:39:08,573 --> 01:39:09,703
without taking a burnout."

2631
01:39:09,703 --> 01:39:10,536
- [Brennan] Incredible.

2632
01:39:10,536 --> 01:39:11,988
Go ahead and re-roll
both those dice for me.

2633
01:39:13,138 --> 01:39:14,924
You're also adding a +5 from the chainsaw.

2634
01:39:14,924 --> 01:39:15,811
- Two 15s.

2635
01:39:15,811 --> 01:39:18,367
- Yes. And you roll a d6 for
the chainsaw. You add a d6.

2636
01:39:18,367 --> 01:39:19,702
- [Brennan] Oh, roll
a d6 for the chainsaw.

2637
01:39:19,702 --> 01:39:21,980
- And a d6 for the chainsaw.

2638
01:39:21,980 --> 01:39:22,949
- [Oscar] It's about to go down.

2639
01:39:22,949 --> 01:39:23,782
- [Kimia] Yeah.
- Four.

2640
01:39:23,782 --> 01:39:24,780
- Nice, 19.

2641
01:39:24,780 --> 01:39:29,234
- So with a 19 plus any
specializations you have

2642
01:39:29,234 --> 01:39:30,879
so I think that's a 21.

2643
01:39:30,879 --> 01:39:31,712
- Yeah.

2644
01:39:31,712 --> 01:39:32,724
- [Brennan] You see as you say-

2645
01:39:32,724 --> 01:39:33,923
- Can I say something else to her?

2646
01:39:33,923 --> 01:39:35,554
- [Brennan] Yeah.

2647
01:39:35,554 --> 01:39:40,554
- I know it feels safer when there's facts

2648
01:39:41,192 --> 01:39:42,712
and there's good things that happen

2649
01:39:42,712 --> 01:39:43,953
and bad things that happen,

2650
01:39:43,953 --> 01:39:47,354
but the reality is,
sometimes things just happen.

2651
01:39:47,354 --> 01:39:49,478
And there's no amount of knowledge

2652
01:39:49,478 --> 01:39:52,203
that can stop that from happening,

2653
01:39:52,203 --> 01:39:55,323
but I'm here if you ever
wanna talk about anything.

2654
01:39:55,323 --> 01:39:56,915
(tender somber music)

2655
01:39:56,915 --> 01:39:58,608
- "I'm well aware.

2656
01:40:00,591 --> 01:40:01,824
I'm well aware."

2657
01:40:03,843 --> 01:40:05,938
And you see the word "aware"

2658
01:40:05,938 --> 01:40:09,115
just catches in her throat like poison

2659
01:40:09,115 --> 01:40:12,436
because if awareness could make her happy,

2660
01:40:12,436 --> 01:40:15,896
it would have a long time
ago, and she realizes suddenly

2661
01:40:15,896 --> 01:40:20,063
that whatever kind of awareness
she had, it hasn't helped.

2662
01:40:20,063 --> 01:40:24,346
And you see her reach absentmindedly.

2663
01:40:24,346 --> 01:40:27,229
She crooks her elbow
but can't make herself

2664
01:40:27,229 --> 01:40:29,946
reach for the skull in front of people.

2665
01:40:31,462 --> 01:40:33,661
"His little head was always right here."

2666
01:40:33,661 --> 01:40:34,494
- Yeah.

2667
01:40:35,686 --> 01:40:39,761
- What we do here is find
information and knowledge,

2668
01:40:39,761 --> 01:40:42,409
and we found the ways that
people buried their dead,

2669
01:40:42,409 --> 01:40:43,787
and it's supposed to work,

2670
01:40:43,787 --> 01:40:47,104
so if that doesn't work,
then what are we doing?

2671
01:40:48,396 --> 01:40:52,646
If you can't make it okay
with what you've learned,

2672
01:40:53,733 --> 01:40:56,033
then does learning even help?

2673
01:40:59,295 --> 01:41:01,169
Have I been unkind to you?

2674
01:41:02,353 --> 01:41:04,083
- Yeah.

2675
01:41:04,083 --> 01:41:07,325
- I don't know why I can't be nice.

2676
01:41:09,330 --> 01:41:10,663
I'm very sorry.

2677
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,472
- I think I'm realizing I
haven't been very kind either.

2678
01:41:16,497 --> 01:41:18,112
I thought maybe not coming
back and not visiting

2679
01:41:18,112 --> 01:41:19,618
and giving you the space that you needed

2680
01:41:19,618 --> 01:41:21,761
was what you needed in that situation,

2681
01:41:21,761 --> 01:41:25,036
and I'm realizing maybe you
just needed me to be here.

2682
01:41:28,242 --> 01:41:31,233
- Even though I've been very unkind,

2683
01:41:31,233 --> 01:41:36,050
I have always loved you and thought of you

2684
01:41:36,050 --> 01:41:41,050
because I know that you
know how much this hurts.

2685
01:41:41,108 --> 01:41:45,275
And I feel like if we had
been in pain together...

2686
01:41:47,319 --> 01:41:48,569
I'm very sorry.

2687
01:41:50,621 --> 01:41:54,023
I don't know how to
learn my way out of this

2688
01:41:54,023 --> 01:41:57,217
and I don't have anything
else that I know how to do.

2689
01:41:57,217 --> 01:41:58,050
- Mm-hmm.

2690
01:42:01,925 --> 01:42:06,050
Hey, um, it's, like,
way too late to go back,

2691
01:42:07,665 --> 01:42:08,498
but

2692
01:42:11,583 --> 01:42:15,774
we could try something
new moving forward maybe?

2693
01:42:15,774 --> 01:42:18,751
Can I just reach out a
hand for a handshake?

2694
01:42:18,751 --> 01:42:21,918
- You see that she reaches out a hand.

2695
01:42:23,370 --> 01:42:26,428
As you reach out a hand for a handshake,

2696
01:42:27,626 --> 01:42:30,509
you see that there's a moment
where she goes for her hand,

2697
01:42:30,509 --> 01:42:34,231
and you can see that her hand
is going to wrap around you,

2698
01:42:34,231 --> 01:42:35,064
but there's a moment

2699
01:42:35,064 --> 01:42:36,759
where she sees you going for a handshake

2700
01:42:36,759 --> 01:42:38,822
and starts to falter.

2701
01:42:38,822 --> 01:42:42,942
In this moment, do you widen
for an embrace or stay-

2702
01:42:42,942 --> 01:42:44,143
- Yeah.

2703
01:42:44,143 --> 01:42:45,866
- As you suddenly go like,

2704
01:42:45,866 --> 01:42:48,498
"No, no, we're gonna do that
instead," I would like you

2705
01:42:48,498 --> 01:42:52,467
to add a permanent +2
specialization to Warmth.

2706
01:42:52,467 --> 01:42:54,155
- Oh, nice.

2707
01:42:54,155 --> 01:42:54,988
- Can I-

2708
01:42:54,988 --> 01:42:56,183
- [Brennan] Which I know is your d4. Yeah?

2709
01:42:56,183 --> 01:42:58,679
- Can I join this for a second with Hugi?

2710
01:42:58,679 --> 01:42:59,900
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Say,

2711
01:42:59,900 --> 01:43:03,713
one thing that I've really
loved about Hugi's whole process

2712
01:43:03,713 --> 01:43:08,713
is how it's really not intellectual.

2713
01:43:08,969 --> 01:43:12,033
It's just really beautiful
and you can feel that,

2714
01:43:12,033 --> 01:43:15,700
and I'm curious if there's a way to do

2715
01:43:17,006 --> 01:43:20,789
a second funeral for Muni

2716
01:43:20,789 --> 01:43:24,710
that you could be at,
if you're interested,

2717
01:43:24,710 --> 01:43:28,638
'cause I think closure
is kinda non-intellectual

2718
01:43:28,638 --> 01:43:29,471
and it's just something

2719
01:43:29,471 --> 01:43:31,406
that you could feel if you wanted to.

2720
01:43:31,406 --> 01:43:32,835
I don't know if that's
something either of you

2721
01:43:32,835 --> 01:43:35,845
would be interested in before we leave.

2722
01:43:35,845 --> 01:43:40,345
- Yeah, I think as you
embrace, and you- and Quinn

2723
01:43:41,203 --> 01:43:44,190
offers that up, you see
the history professors,

2724
01:43:44,190 --> 01:43:46,337
the History Council is sort of stunned.

2725
01:43:46,337 --> 01:43:48,797
You see that Aunt Freaky embraces you.

2726
01:43:48,797 --> 01:43:51,356
Like, you're so tall and
she's towering over you still,

2727
01:43:51,356 --> 01:43:54,796
and she picks you up and
is just holding you there

2728
01:43:54,796 --> 01:43:57,212
like this little crow
wrapped against her breast.

2729
01:43:57,212 --> 01:43:58,872
She's leaning down.

2730
01:43:58,872 --> 01:44:02,069
And you see that she
absentmindedly reaches down

2731
01:44:02,069 --> 01:44:06,236
and gets the skull and
holds it in close and goes,

2732
01:44:07,098 --> 01:44:12,089
"I would love another ceremony.

2733
01:44:13,078 --> 01:44:18,078
(tender warm music)
I didn't attend the first one.

2734
01:44:18,789 --> 01:44:23,731
I forget what lie I told
about why I couldn't come.

2735
01:44:26,155 --> 01:44:27,580
I'm so sorry.

2736
01:44:28,729 --> 01:44:31,312
And there's a carelessness here

2737
01:44:32,829 --> 01:44:37,091
that I don't agree with
on my part. (sniffles)

2738
01:44:37,091 --> 01:44:39,037
I think I have treated feelings

2739
01:44:39,037 --> 01:44:43,870
as if they are very inconsequential
because to regard them

2740
01:44:45,264 --> 01:44:49,956
would be staring at the
oncoming of a great storm.

2741
01:44:51,629 --> 01:44:55,366
Perhaps by not seeing it,
it would never become real,

2742
01:44:55,366 --> 01:44:57,861
but it has simply grown in the darkness."

2743
01:44:58,903 --> 01:45:02,599
You see that she kneels
down with you here and goes,

2744
01:45:02,599 --> 01:45:04,447
"You do not need to do
all of what you did,

2745
01:45:04,447 --> 01:45:07,199
but some of what you did,

2746
01:45:07,199 --> 01:45:10,982
it maybe would be like a funeral again."

2747
01:45:11,877 --> 01:45:12,710
- Yeah.

2748
01:45:13,863 --> 01:45:15,555
Yeah. Okay, yes.

2749
01:45:16,849 --> 01:45:17,770
KoKoMo?

2750
01:45:17,770 --> 01:45:18,603
- KoKoMo.

2751
01:45:18,603 --> 01:45:21,547
- Can you fart and go grab
all of my stuff from there?

2752
01:45:21,547 --> 01:45:22,527
- Abso-toot-ly.

2753
01:45:22,527 --> 01:45:24,371
- [Vic] Do you know
what I'm talking about?

2754
01:45:24,371 --> 01:45:25,693
- Yes, I know.
- Okay, if you-

2755
01:45:25,693 --> 01:45:28,021
- All the smell good and the
good stuff and the round guys?

2756
01:45:28,021 --> 01:45:30,126
- Oh, that, but I was wondering

2757
01:45:30,126 --> 01:45:32,692
if you could go back to
that area in the library

2758
01:45:32,692 --> 01:45:35,224
and if you could go grab some of my stuff.

2759
01:45:35,224 --> 01:45:36,297
- KoKoMo.
- Yeah.

2760
01:45:36,297 --> 01:45:37,728
- I toot off.
- I go get the other stuff.

2761
01:45:37,728 --> 01:45:38,561
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.

2762
01:45:38,561 --> 01:45:40,464
- And Tess runs away to do something.

2763
01:45:40,464 --> 01:45:41,297
- [Brennan] Cool.

2764
01:45:41,297 --> 01:45:42,130
- Runs off to do something real quick.

2765
01:45:42,130 --> 01:45:44,026
- [Brennan] Cool. (mimics zooming)

2766
01:45:44,026 --> 01:45:45,975
(Jacob mimics tooting off)
Yeah.

2767
01:45:45,975 --> 01:45:47,465
- We all fart. Let's be honest.

2768
01:45:48,382 --> 01:45:49,215
- [Brennan] You scoot off, you scoot back.

2769
01:45:49,215 --> 01:45:51,352
- I stay, but I do fart.

2770
01:45:51,352 --> 01:45:52,310
- Before I do that, real quick,

2771
01:45:52,310 --> 01:45:57,302
I just hold my necklace that
you made and then I run off.

2772
01:45:58,795 --> 01:46:00,261
- I'm like, oh, okay.

2773
01:46:00,261 --> 01:46:03,669
- [Brennan] KoKoMo returns
with Hugi's effects.

2774
01:46:03,669 --> 01:46:05,386
And Tess, you said Tess
headed off as well.

2775
01:46:05,386 --> 01:46:06,400
- Tess headed off somewhere.
- [Brennan] Okay.

2776
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:07,929
- Blasted off real quick.
- [Brennan] Cool.

2777
01:46:07,929 --> 01:46:08,959
- Farted off?

2778
01:46:08,959 --> 01:46:10,419
- Farted off.
- [Brennan] Farted off.

2779
01:46:10,419 --> 01:46:12,632
Hugi, with your effects in front of you,

2780
01:46:12,632 --> 01:46:16,264
you see Aunt Freaky just sort of kneels,

2781
01:46:16,264 --> 01:46:18,249
putting the skull in the
little place of honor

2782
01:46:18,249 --> 01:46:21,825
on her table that it normally rests in.

2783
01:46:21,825 --> 01:46:23,654
- So normally, at this
part there's a body.

2784
01:46:23,654 --> 01:46:26,337
There's obviously no body, so I'm going to

2785
01:46:28,244 --> 01:46:30,617
take just some of these effects,

2786
01:46:30,617 --> 01:46:33,745
some of the ones that maybe
are a little bit more flammable

2787
01:46:33,745 --> 01:46:35,293
and put them in the middle in this

2788
01:46:35,293 --> 01:46:37,549
little basin that I carry sometimes

2789
01:46:37,549 --> 01:46:40,897
for grinding stuff up.
Like a mortar and pestle.

2790
01:46:40,897 --> 01:46:42,301
And I'm gonna place that in the middle,

2791
01:46:42,301 --> 01:46:46,215
and I am going to light it

2792
01:46:46,215 --> 01:46:48,837
the way that I normally
light stuff which is

2793
01:46:48,837 --> 01:46:52,087
I've got a match, but it
kinda catches on my sleeve,

2794
01:46:52,087 --> 01:46:53,940
and I'm not getting it
out the way I normally do

2795
01:46:53,940 --> 01:46:56,095
so I sorta tug a little bit and it breaks.

2796
01:46:56,095 --> 01:46:58,145
Okay, that's fine.

2797
01:46:58,145 --> 01:46:59,887
So I'll just take the smaller one

2798
01:46:59,887 --> 01:47:00,841
'cause I don't need a longer one

2799
01:47:00,841 --> 01:47:03,788
'cause it's not going
in there, which is fine.

2800
01:47:03,788 --> 01:47:06,871
And I go to strike it, but
I don't have my mask on

2801
01:47:06,871 --> 01:47:09,788
and so I'm just sort of doing this.

2802
01:47:10,670 --> 01:47:12,281
Okay, that's fine.

2803
01:47:12,281 --> 01:47:13,317
Does anybody have a lighter?

2804
01:47:13,317 --> 01:47:14,850
- Rowan Atkinson is playing this role.

2805
01:47:14,850 --> 01:47:16,895
- Wow, brutal. Yeah. (laughs)

2806
01:47:16,895 --> 01:47:18,743
(Oscar and Jacob laughing)
- It's Mr. Bean?

2807
01:47:18,743 --> 01:47:21,179
- Does anyone have a lighter
or like, something fire?

2808
01:47:21,179 --> 01:47:22,137
Do we have fire?

2809
01:47:22,137 --> 01:47:23,549
- I can help, I can help.
- [Vic] There's no flame here,

2810
01:47:23,549 --> 01:47:24,838
typically, so it's...

2811
01:47:24,838 --> 01:47:26,818
- So I think Quinn's gonna try to help

2812
01:47:26,818 --> 01:47:28,400
in any way that she can.

2813
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:31,134
- Do you wanna spend a Boo-Boo
with the help out action here

2814
01:47:31,134 --> 01:47:33,015
or do you not have?
- Would if I could.

2815
01:47:33,015 --> 01:47:34,351
- [Brennan] Would if I could.
- I don't have a Boo-Boo.

2816
01:47:34,351 --> 01:47:35,289
- [Brennan] So I think that with Connor,

2817
01:47:35,289 --> 01:47:36,387
you have a lighter here, right?

2818
01:47:36,387 --> 01:47:37,789
- I have, I don't know
where this came from,

2819
01:47:37,789 --> 01:47:41,194
but I used it to light a
couple feathers earlier.

2820
01:47:41,194 --> 01:47:43,829
- That's fine. Okay, we light it.

2821
01:47:43,829 --> 01:47:46,829
It's normally- it goes a lot
smoother than this, typically.

2822
01:47:46,829 --> 01:47:48,799
- You see that she nods, looking,

2823
01:47:48,799 --> 01:47:50,082
for the first time that
you've ever seen her,

2824
01:47:50,082 --> 01:47:53,644
looking vulnerable because
she's completely lost

2825
01:47:53,644 --> 01:47:57,853
in her own mind, knowing
that you're making mistakes

2826
01:47:57,853 --> 01:48:00,552
and realizing that
there's something in this

2827
01:48:00,552 --> 01:48:02,515
that's sort of like, well...

2828
01:48:02,515 --> 01:48:06,995
In her head, there's no
criticism of you. It is all...

2829
01:48:06,995 --> 01:48:08,012
Although you might not have the awareness

2830
01:48:08,012 --> 01:48:09,876
to even recognize that.

2831
01:48:09,876 --> 01:48:11,416
You see that she's criticizing herself

2832
01:48:11,416 --> 01:48:13,270
for not being at the first
funeral 'cause she's like,

2833
01:48:13,270 --> 01:48:14,764
"Of course, this is an echo.

2834
01:48:14,764 --> 01:48:17,433
I'm not getting the real thing."

2835
01:48:17,433 --> 01:48:18,936
You can see that there's
self-doubt creeping in

2836
01:48:18,936 --> 01:48:21,268
for her being like, "I
shouldn't have asked for..."

2837
01:48:21,268 --> 01:48:23,338
Like, "I asked for something wrong."

2838
01:48:23,338 --> 01:48:25,347
What do you do as you continue?

2839
01:48:25,347 --> 01:48:29,680
- I'm gonna light it on
fire and so sorta this like,

2840
01:48:30,793 --> 01:48:32,313
it's normally a really sweet smell

2841
01:48:32,313 --> 01:48:34,259
because I have things that I put in

2842
01:48:34,259 --> 01:48:35,716
and that I sort of am like, oh, right,

2843
01:48:35,716 --> 01:48:38,102
and I throw a little bit of
some flower petals in there

2844
01:48:38,102 --> 01:48:39,363
just to make it smell a little bit better

2845
01:48:39,363 --> 01:48:41,281
'cause we are burning trash right now,

2846
01:48:41,281 --> 01:48:43,391
and I'm realizing as the smell of

2847
01:48:43,391 --> 01:48:46,196
trash is coming out of this that I'm like,

2848
01:48:46,196 --> 01:48:49,430
I should have mentioned
before I lit this on fire.

2849
01:48:49,430 --> 01:48:50,269
You know...

2850
01:48:50,269 --> 01:48:52,238
Well, I mean, you might
not have known this part.

2851
01:48:52,238 --> 01:48:54,551
We used to collect sorta little trinkets

2852
01:48:54,551 --> 01:48:55,659
and there's some

2853
01:48:55,659 --> 01:48:57,572
shiny things that we thought were cute

2854
01:48:57,572 --> 01:49:00,886
and so that's sort of, I'm offering that.

2855
01:49:00,886 --> 01:49:05,886
Okay, and I throw the end of
the flame in there and I go,

2856
01:49:06,295 --> 01:49:11,295
okay, now anybody can say- At this point,

2857
01:49:11,938 --> 01:49:13,066
I'm gonna open up the floor

2858
01:49:13,066 --> 01:49:18,066
to anybody that would like
to say anything about Muni.

2859
01:49:18,305 --> 01:49:20,884
- Is there a sort of rubric

2860
01:49:20,884 --> 01:49:23,576
for what sort of things
people say, typically?

2861
01:49:23,576 --> 01:49:26,159
Or I guess, what's the...

2862
01:49:26,159 --> 01:49:31,159
The purpose of saying these
feelings is that one will, um...

2863
01:49:34,824 --> 01:49:36,339
In an ideal situation,

2864
01:49:36,339 --> 01:49:39,797
the end state for the
funeral is one in which...

2865
01:49:42,104 --> 01:49:46,136
- So, um, this is more
so that way you and me

2866
01:49:46,136 --> 01:49:49,328
and people that know and love us

2867
01:49:50,329 --> 01:49:55,254
can sort of come together
and mark a moment

2868
01:49:55,254 --> 01:49:58,515
for somebody that's not here anymore.

2869
01:49:58,515 --> 01:50:01,744
- This is just an experiment
in, what would you do

2870
01:50:01,744 --> 01:50:03,723
if you weren't allowing yourself

2871
01:50:03,723 --> 01:50:06,575
to judge yourself in any way.

2872
01:50:06,575 --> 01:50:07,408
- Ah.

2873
01:50:07,408 --> 01:50:09,506
- So anyone can say something.

2874
01:50:10,631 --> 01:50:14,567
- This is a moment where
we mark the passage

2875
01:50:14,567 --> 01:50:15,525
of someone who's not here.

2876
01:50:15,525 --> 01:50:17,449
- So that's what I said,
and I think for you,

2877
01:50:17,449 --> 01:50:20,348
it's just whatever, um...
It doesn't have to be that.

2878
01:50:20,348 --> 01:50:22,791
There's not like... It's
not written down anywhere.

2879
01:50:22,791 --> 01:50:26,355
It's kind of whatever your
heart is telling you to say.

2880
01:50:26,355 --> 01:50:27,486
Maybe a memory.

2881
01:50:27,486 --> 01:50:31,183
- May I suggest using facts and knowledge

2882
01:50:31,183 --> 01:50:35,933
and then personalizing that.
Making it meaningful to you.

2883
01:50:38,802 --> 01:50:43,760
- "Uh, Muni was born at
three o'clock in the morning

2884
01:50:44,719 --> 01:50:48,613
and there was a waxing crescent moon.

2885
01:50:48,613 --> 01:50:51,771
(soft peaceful music)

2886
01:50:51,771 --> 01:50:56,771
Um, my brother and I,
long ago, were named...

2887
01:50:58,633 --> 01:51:00,550
He's passed long since,

2888
01:51:02,485 --> 01:51:07,485
but my brother was expecting a little girl

2889
01:51:07,652 --> 01:51:12,627
around the same time as my
son was going to be born,

2890
01:51:13,716 --> 01:51:15,759
and we decided, 'cause the History Heap

2891
01:51:15,759 --> 01:51:17,409
was much younger then,

2892
01:51:17,409 --> 01:51:22,409
to name them after two beautiful birds

2893
01:51:25,256 --> 01:51:28,506
that we had found a long, long time ago.

2894
01:51:31,544 --> 01:51:36,411
That the little girl would be named Hugi.

2895
01:51:38,388 --> 01:51:40,721
My son would be named Muni."

2896
01:51:42,372 --> 01:51:45,062
And you see here, she sort
of pauses for a moment

2897
01:51:45,062 --> 01:51:47,751
as it sort of catches in her throat.

2898
01:51:47,751 --> 01:51:52,037
And I believe Hugi is thought, correct?

2899
01:51:52,037 --> 01:51:54,094
And then Muni is memory.

2900
01:51:54,094 --> 01:51:55,478
"Thought and memory.

2901
01:51:55,478 --> 01:51:58,160
The memory of this place,

2902
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:01,771
memory of the History Heap and thought.

2903
01:52:01,771 --> 01:52:06,604
And I named them after that
because ravens collect things,

2904
01:52:08,589 --> 01:52:11,422
and we collect things here and..."

2905
01:52:12,528 --> 01:52:14,017
And you see that you can
see here getting caught up

2906
01:52:14,017 --> 01:52:18,194
on trying to get these
facts right and trying to

2907
01:52:18,194 --> 01:52:21,721
talk about more knowledge,
more information.

2908
01:52:21,721 --> 01:52:26,663
She goes, "I loved when
he played with my niece,

2909
01:52:29,712 --> 01:52:33,655
and we are here in this
moment to say goodbye,

2910
01:52:33,655 --> 01:52:36,127
which is the point of this.

2911
01:52:36,127 --> 01:52:39,366
And I think the reason I
didn't go the first time is,

2912
01:52:39,366 --> 01:52:41,373
even though this is the point,

2913
01:52:41,373 --> 01:52:45,532
and you're supposed to
process the feelings

2914
01:52:45,532 --> 01:52:48,876
because death is beautiful
and it's a part of life

2915
01:52:48,876 --> 01:52:51,709
and there's nothing wrong with it.

2916
01:52:53,213 --> 01:52:55,232
So that's what we tell people is,

2917
01:52:55,232 --> 01:52:57,742
'There's nothing wrong with it.'

2918
01:52:57,742 --> 01:53:00,467
So if we're telling that
to people and that's true,

2919
01:53:00,467 --> 01:53:03,142
then what do you do if
you don't believe that?

2920
01:53:04,867 --> 01:53:07,967
What do you do if you don't
really want to say goodbye?"

2921
01:53:11,282 --> 01:53:13,475
- Yeah, and I didn't say
something the first time

2922
01:53:13,475 --> 01:53:15,670
so I can say something this time.

2923
01:53:15,670 --> 01:53:19,809
- It think as they're
about to say something,

2924
01:53:19,809 --> 01:53:24,809
I kind of very gingerly usher
them away from the kiln,

2925
01:53:25,582 --> 01:53:29,882
and I look at Connor and bring him over

2926
01:53:29,882 --> 01:53:34,401
and him and I shut the
furnace and open the flume

2927
01:53:34,401 --> 01:53:36,325
so the flame...
- [Brennan] Yeah.

2928
01:53:36,325 --> 01:53:38,715
- Which is something
normally Hugi would do,

2929
01:53:38,715 --> 01:53:42,513
but we, together close it,
(panel squeaks and latches)

2930
01:53:42,513 --> 01:53:43,826
open the flume.

2931
01:53:43,826 --> 01:53:45,873
- [Brennan] So that smoke
can start to travel out.

2932
01:53:46,931 --> 01:53:48,928
- Yeah, I can go.

2933
01:53:48,928 --> 01:53:49,761
- Please.

2934
01:53:49,761 --> 01:53:50,594
- [Vic] Okay.

2935
01:53:52,149 --> 01:53:54,316
I'm so fucking mad at you, dude.

2936
01:53:56,184 --> 01:53:57,867
Oh man. Oh god.

2937
01:53:59,531 --> 01:54:00,991
You coulda told me you were gonna die

2938
01:54:00,991 --> 01:54:02,689
and then I could've, like,
gone with you or something.

2939
01:54:02,689 --> 01:54:05,157
I don't know. Like...

2940
01:54:05,157 --> 01:54:08,709
Oh man, we were... (sobs softly)

2941
01:54:08,709 --> 01:54:12,255
(soft melancholy music)

2942
01:54:12,255 --> 01:54:15,773
Oh, god, we were supposed
to do this together,

2943
01:54:15,773 --> 01:54:18,275
and now it's just me,
and this fucking sucks!

2944
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:22,327
And I hate it here. (sighs)

2945
01:54:23,860 --> 01:54:26,160
Like, I hate this. I
hate everything about it.

2946
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:30,085
I hate waking up in the morning,
and I hate walking around,

2947
01:54:30,085 --> 01:54:32,118
and then I see something
really beautiful and I'm like,

2948
01:54:32,118 --> 01:54:33,808
"Oh my god, Muni would love this,"

2949
01:54:33,808 --> 01:54:35,376
and I don't even have
anybody to tell that to,

2950
01:54:35,376 --> 01:54:37,182
so I'm just like...

2951
01:54:37,182 --> 01:54:39,607
I'm just, like, here? It sucks!

2952
01:54:44,615 --> 01:54:48,485
I'm really glad I have an
ability to help people,

2953
01:54:48,485 --> 01:54:49,868
and when I'm not helping people,

2954
01:54:49,868 --> 01:54:54,435
I just don't really know what to do.

2955
01:54:57,563 --> 01:55:00,164
And if you were here,
you'd tell me what to do.

2956
01:55:00,164 --> 01:55:03,715
I don't have anything beautiful or nice,

2957
01:55:03,715 --> 01:55:06,502
or I don't have good memories to share.

2958
01:55:06,502 --> 01:55:08,655
That's it. That's all
I think all the time.

2959
01:55:08,655 --> 01:55:10,530
That's all I feel all the time.

2960
01:55:12,426 --> 01:55:15,176
- I think what you said is very beautiful.

2961
01:55:17,525 --> 01:55:20,748
I don't typically talk
this way, but this sucks.

2962
01:55:21,923 --> 01:55:24,904
I think that's the most
profound thing I've ever heard.

2963
01:55:24,904 --> 01:55:25,862
- Do you mean that?

2964
01:55:25,862 --> 01:55:28,137
- And I read profound things all day.

2965
01:55:28,137 --> 01:55:30,675
I think it sucks. I
think it's really awful.

2966
01:55:30,675 --> 01:55:32,033
I miss my son.

2967
01:55:34,389 --> 01:55:39,389
- When Princess Diana died,
her son walked behind the car,

2968
01:55:39,929 --> 01:55:42,499
and I was wondering if you
wanted to go for a walk.

2969
01:55:43,590 --> 01:55:47,581
- The ancient histories are
well recorded in this regard.

2970
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:52,975
I think the pressure I've
felt to do this right

2971
01:55:53,850 --> 01:55:55,517
and the feeling that

2972
01:55:58,498 --> 01:56:01,153
we're working really hard all the time

2973
01:56:01,153 --> 01:56:05,076
to find things that are
true, that are one way

2974
01:56:05,076 --> 01:56:07,435
and we have to try to
find them the right way,

2975
01:56:07,435 --> 01:56:10,098
and we tell people that death is beautiful

2976
01:56:11,006 --> 01:56:13,775
and that it's okay to say goodbye.

2977
01:56:13,775 --> 01:56:16,608
And I think I need to make it okay

2978
01:56:17,658 --> 01:56:22,658
that that's one thing that's true,

2979
01:56:22,693 --> 01:56:24,610
but also it's not true.

2980
01:56:26,485 --> 01:56:27,818
That this sucks.

2981
01:56:29,159 --> 01:56:30,531
And it's very confusing

2982
01:56:30,531 --> 01:56:33,339
'cause I wouldn't know
which one to write down,

2983
01:56:33,339 --> 01:56:34,630
and now I'm realizing that the point

2984
01:56:34,630 --> 01:56:36,154
is not to write either down,

2985
01:56:36,154 --> 01:56:37,525
that it's not death is beautiful

2986
01:56:37,525 --> 01:56:39,408
and it's not that death is horrible,

2987
01:56:39,408 --> 01:56:40,875
and that from moment to moment,

2988
01:56:40,875 --> 01:56:44,066
it's just gonna be both of those things,

2989
01:56:44,066 --> 01:56:46,730
and I shouldn't have thought
about which one to write down.

2990
01:56:46,730 --> 01:56:50,605
I just should have thought
about which one I was feeling.

2991
01:56:52,540 --> 01:56:53,957
And I'm so sorry.

2992
01:56:55,087 --> 01:56:57,626
I like this funeral.

2993
01:56:57,626 --> 01:56:58,459
- Really?

2994
01:57:02,473 --> 01:57:04,022
- I didn't know that you were allowed

2995
01:57:04,022 --> 01:57:06,005
to say, "This sucks," at a funeral,

2996
01:57:06,005 --> 01:57:07,497
and it's the only thing I've been thinking

2997
01:57:07,497 --> 01:57:08,738
for so many years.

2998
01:57:10,335 --> 01:57:11,658
- I kinda didn't either,

2999
01:57:11,658 --> 01:57:14,412
and I feel like maybe I'm
gonna bring this forward.

3000
01:57:16,129 --> 01:57:19,362
- She wraps her arms around you and says,

3001
01:57:19,362 --> 01:57:20,612
"I hope you do.

3002
01:57:22,011 --> 01:57:22,976
(Vic sniffles)

3003
01:57:24,559 --> 01:57:25,701
I love you.

3004
01:57:28,034 --> 01:57:30,742
I need to treat you like that's true.

3005
01:57:32,431 --> 01:57:34,848
It's not enough for you to...

3006
01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:39,510
I think we need to stop focusing
so much on knowing things

3007
01:57:40,568 --> 01:57:43,362
because I knew that you
knew that I loved you,

3008
01:57:43,362 --> 01:57:46,720
but if I don't feel it
and if you don't feel it,

3009
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:49,220
then it doesn't really matter.

3010
01:57:50,126 --> 01:57:53,543
I need to make you feel like I love you."

3011
01:57:54,654 --> 01:57:57,837
And you see that she wipes
a tear away from your cheek

3012
01:57:59,079 --> 01:58:04,079
and permanently adds a
specialization to her Charm.

3013
01:58:04,707 --> 01:58:06,683
- Oh, nice.

3014
01:58:06,683 --> 01:58:08,399
- You're always very good

3015
01:58:08,399 --> 01:58:13,008
at making people feel
like you care about them,

3016
01:58:13,008 --> 01:58:16,508
and that's important, and I can do better.

3017
01:58:19,472 --> 01:58:20,553
Muni-

3018
01:58:20,553 --> 01:58:21,386
- Yes.

3019
01:58:22,536 --> 01:58:25,994
- ...should still be here,
and I hate that he's not.

3020
01:58:25,994 --> 01:58:30,077
And I can say, as someone
who knows a great deal,

3021
01:58:32,049 --> 01:58:33,132
I know,

3022
01:58:34,492 --> 01:58:36,160
know

3023
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:40,543
that he would be very proud of you.

3024
01:58:42,426 --> 01:58:44,009
And I know that he,

3025
01:58:45,706 --> 01:58:50,697
in what we assume is either
a big ball of gas somewhere

3026
01:58:52,058 --> 01:58:55,438
or maybe a different dimension,

3027
01:58:55,438 --> 01:58:59,805
I know that he loves you too.

3028
01:59:01,991 --> 01:59:03,829
- Even though I was never
good at drawing blood,

3029
01:59:03,829 --> 01:59:06,050
and he was so good at drawing blood.

3030
01:59:06,050 --> 01:59:08,258
- [Brennan] He was a prodigious talent.

3031
01:59:08,258 --> 01:59:09,686
- [Vic] Yeah.

3032
01:59:09,686 --> 01:59:12,543
- The things that are gone
now that he's gone were good

3033
01:59:12,543 --> 01:59:16,392
because he was good, and if it
didn't suck that he was gone,

3034
01:59:16,392 --> 01:59:18,101
it would be us saying in some regard

3035
01:59:18,101 --> 01:59:20,100
that it wasn't good that he was here,

3036
01:59:20,100 --> 01:59:25,100
so it's okay that it sucks
'cause something good is gone.

3037
01:59:25,620 --> 01:59:27,037
- I love you too.

3038
01:59:29,312 --> 01:59:31,479
- [Brennan] A big, big warm embrace.

3039
01:59:33,147 --> 01:59:36,064
She steps out of the funereal kiln,

3040
01:59:36,902 --> 01:59:39,527
looks at the skull, and goes,

3041
01:59:43,916 --> 01:59:45,783
"Muni, um...

3042
01:59:48,543 --> 01:59:51,468
Muni didn't like being cooped
up at the History Heap.

3043
01:59:53,902 --> 01:59:56,507
When you go on these adventures,

3044
01:59:56,507 --> 01:59:59,692
would you do me a favor
and bring him with you?"

3045
02:00:00,767 --> 02:00:01,600
- Yeah, I...

3046
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:03,827
Oh, yeah, I'd really like that.

3047
02:00:03,827 --> 02:00:06,506
And then I'm gonna reach
into my pocket here,

3048
02:00:06,506 --> 02:00:07,926
and I've got this little pebble

3049
02:00:07,926 --> 02:00:09,822
that I've turned over so much in my hand

3050
02:00:09,822 --> 02:00:12,039
that it looks like a pearl,

3051
02:00:12,039 --> 02:00:15,347
and I'm gonna hand it to Aunt Freaky.

3052
02:00:18,002 --> 02:00:20,977
Maybe you'd like something
else of his then.

3053
02:00:23,180 --> 02:00:25,513
- "I know you'll be back soon,

3054
02:00:25,513 --> 02:00:28,687
and I'll see him again
then, and until then,

3055
02:00:28,687 --> 02:00:32,804
I'll keep working on this."

3056
02:00:34,098 --> 02:00:37,070
And you see that she
hands the skull to you

3057
02:00:37,070 --> 02:00:38,921
and gives you a kiss on the cheek.

3058
02:00:40,046 --> 02:00:42,193
"Ooh, some kind of ointment."
(Vic laughs)

3059
02:00:43,260 --> 02:00:44,093
Tess.

3060
02:00:44,093 --> 02:00:47,223
- I just had a small idea
to round out the ceremony.

3061
02:00:47,223 --> 02:00:48,056
- Oh yeah.

3062
02:00:48,056 --> 02:00:51,137
- I know that sometimes
you like to do some sort

3063
02:00:51,137 --> 02:00:53,952
of a spectacle or leave something behind

3064
02:00:53,952 --> 02:00:55,850
so that people can have memories,

3065
02:00:55,850 --> 02:00:58,445
and I know memories are super important.

3066
02:00:58,445 --> 02:01:03,445
So I did my best to use all
my smartest brain cells,

3067
02:01:03,992 --> 02:01:08,900
and I picked one of the non books up

3068
02:01:08,900 --> 02:01:13,590
and I scribbled down, if
you guys wanna hold these,

3069
02:01:13,590 --> 02:01:17,871
the words that they were
saying to one of the songs,

3070
02:01:17,871 --> 02:01:19,687
and if you could play this.

3071
02:01:19,687 --> 02:01:21,556
It's "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch.

3072
02:01:21,556 --> 02:01:22,610
- Sure.

3073
02:01:22,610 --> 02:01:25,712
- (sighs) I know you like to read,

3074
02:01:26,887 --> 02:01:28,602
and sometimes reading
is easier than feeling

3075
02:01:28,602 --> 02:01:33,602
so if you read the words while
they're happening on here,

3076
02:01:33,817 --> 02:01:37,003
I think something really
special and fun can happen.

3077
02:01:37,003 --> 02:01:40,187
- You see one of the professors
sort of off in the corner,

3078
02:01:40,187 --> 02:01:44,575
as you begin to play "Everywhere"
by Michelle Branch goes,

3079
02:01:44,575 --> 02:01:47,153
(grumbles) "This is
absolutely preposterous.

3080
02:01:47,153 --> 02:01:50,026
We're aware of the existence of the poetry

3081
02:01:50,026 --> 02:01:51,490
of 'Everywhere' by Michelle.

3082
02:01:51,490 --> 02:01:54,062
Within the case that was discovered,

3083
02:01:54,062 --> 02:01:56,932
the words to the song
are made very clear!"

3084
02:01:56,932 --> 02:01:58,497
- So I didn't have to write it all down?

3085
02:01:58,497 --> 02:02:00,455
It took everything I had!

3086
02:02:00,455 --> 02:02:02,954
It took everything I had to
write every single word down,

3087
02:02:02,954 --> 02:02:04,457
and yeah, the S's are fives,

3088
02:02:04,457 --> 02:02:06,037
but everybody knows how to read that.

3089
02:02:06,037 --> 02:02:07,199
That's just my handwriting.

3090
02:02:07,199 --> 02:02:09,697
- As you see the music starts
playing, this guy says,

3091
02:02:09,697 --> 02:02:11,517
(warm upbeat pop music)
"Yes, the lyrics are..."

3092
02:02:11,517 --> 02:02:12,705
The music begins to play.

3093
02:02:12,705 --> 02:02:14,253
♪ Everywhere to me ♪
♪ Turn it inside out ♪

3094
02:02:14,253 --> 02:02:15,086
♪ So I can see ♪

3095
02:02:15,086 --> 02:02:16,059
- And you see this person goes,

3096
02:02:16,059 --> 02:02:18,844
"Well, that's simply..." (breath catching)

3097
02:02:18,844 --> 02:02:20,019
(Brennan bawling)

3098
02:02:20,019 --> 02:02:22,123
And starts weeping fully.

3099
02:02:22,123 --> 02:02:25,956
"The context of the music
is very significant!

3100
02:02:27,134 --> 02:02:29,217
I am being made to feel!"

3101
02:02:30,327 --> 02:02:31,369
(Ally laughs)

3102
02:02:31,369 --> 02:02:33,552
And just bellows that out.

3103
02:02:33,552 --> 02:02:36,840
And you see, taking the
lyrics written down,

3104
02:02:36,840 --> 02:02:40,156
you see that the professors
here begin singing,

3105
02:02:40,156 --> 02:02:42,931
and you see this joy begins to go out.

3106
02:02:42,931 --> 02:02:44,436
All the other professors come over

3107
02:02:44,436 --> 02:02:48,537
and begin to feel this joy all throughout.

3108
02:02:48,537 --> 02:02:50,643
- If you're watching this on
YouTube, it's actually playing.

3109
02:02:50,643 --> 02:02:51,568
- Yeah. (laughs)

3110
02:02:51,568 --> 02:02:52,526
(Zac and Oscar laughing)

3111
02:02:52,526 --> 02:02:55,345
Is it fair use to sing
the chorus if we sing it?

3112
02:02:55,345 --> 02:02:57,495
- Somewhere in the
Gladlands, a grand piano

3113
02:02:57,495 --> 02:02:59,593
whips across the road.
(piano glissando resounds)

3114
02:02:59,593 --> 02:03:00,649
- Yeah.
(Ally mimics piano glissando)

3115
02:03:00,649 --> 02:03:02,043
- [Brennan] Incredible.

3116
02:03:02,043 --> 02:03:05,223
As you all begin to sing,
you see this hush goes out

3117
02:03:05,223 --> 02:03:06,806
over the History Heap,

3118
02:03:06,806 --> 02:03:10,430
and the researchers everywhere
hear this music playing,

3119
02:03:10,430 --> 02:03:14,887
which fills them with- It's
like, joyful and charming

3120
02:03:14,887 --> 02:03:19,057
and goes out everywhere
and is a type of knowledge

3121
02:03:19,057 --> 02:03:22,773
that taps directly into a feeling.

3122
02:03:23,850 --> 02:03:25,788
There is a type of information

3123
02:03:25,788 --> 02:03:28,030
that not only communicates
the significance of something

3124
02:03:28,030 --> 02:03:29,786
but also the feeling of it.

3125
02:03:29,786 --> 02:03:30,942
And you see, (mimics wind whooshing)

3126
02:03:30,942 --> 02:03:33,579
and you see out, all these
robed shuffling figures

3127
02:03:33,579 --> 02:03:38,189
begin to link arms and sway
side to side on the beat.

3128
02:03:38,189 --> 02:03:41,798
And then you see someone says,
"Absolutely illuminating!

3129
02:03:41,798 --> 02:03:43,745
It's extraordinary!

3130
02:03:43,745 --> 02:03:45,156
Ah!

3131
02:03:45,156 --> 02:03:47,573
My body!" And starts dancing.

3132
02:03:48,869 --> 02:03:50,365
- Starts skanking-
- [Brennan] Starts skanking.

3133
02:03:50,365 --> 02:03:51,564
- ...to "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch?

3134
02:03:51,564 --> 02:03:52,418
- "Pick it up, pick it up,

3135
02:03:52,418 --> 02:03:54,305
pick it up, pick it up."
- Oh!

3136
02:03:54,305 --> 02:03:57,213
This is just like in the
book with the spinach man!

3137
02:03:57,213 --> 02:03:58,046
- Yes!

3138
02:03:58,046 --> 02:03:58,879
(Jacob mimics upbeat trombone music)

3139
02:03:58,879 --> 02:04:01,126
- It's just like the end of "The Sprinch!"

3140
02:04:01,126 --> 02:04:02,219
- Sprinch? (laughs)

3141
02:04:02,219 --> 02:04:03,615
♪ Michelle Branch ♪

3142
02:04:04,498 --> 02:04:05,890
- [Oscar] Can I say something?
- [Brennan] Yes.

3143
02:04:05,890 --> 02:04:10,236
- So like, while y'all
were having a moment.

3144
02:04:10,236 --> 02:04:11,069
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3145
02:04:11,069 --> 02:04:14,432
- I think Herbie excuses
himself and leaves.

3146
02:04:14,432 --> 02:04:15,265
- Yeah.

3147
02:04:15,265 --> 02:04:19,431
- This sort of act of
emotional vulnerability,

3148
02:04:19,431 --> 02:04:22,816
it's very tough for someone who has been

3149
02:04:22,816 --> 02:04:25,303
trying to convince the History Heap-

3150
02:04:25,303 --> 02:04:26,136
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3151
02:04:26,136 --> 02:04:28,558
- ...of the thing that
is happening before him.

3152
02:04:28,558 --> 02:04:29,391
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3153
02:04:29,391 --> 02:04:30,658
- And it's a little overwhelming.

3154
02:04:30,658 --> 02:04:32,248
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3155
02:04:32,248 --> 02:04:34,134
- So he removes himself from it.

3156
02:04:34,134 --> 02:04:37,178
And then there's also a
little bit of frustration too.

3157
02:04:37,178 --> 02:04:40,083
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Of the fact of like,

3158
02:04:40,083 --> 02:04:41,635
especially that earlier interaction

3159
02:04:41,635 --> 02:04:45,441
between Hugi and Aunt Freaky.

3160
02:04:45,441 --> 02:04:46,496
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3161
02:04:46,496 --> 02:04:48,458
- Of just like, you don't know...

3162
02:04:49,350 --> 02:04:51,739
You don't know how magical this person is.

3163
02:04:51,739 --> 02:04:52,572
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3164
02:04:52,572 --> 02:04:55,597
- [Oscar] The dismissal of,
like what Tess was saying,

3165
02:04:55,597 --> 02:04:57,217
like, you don't know.

3166
02:04:57,217 --> 02:04:58,050
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3167
02:04:58,050 --> 02:04:59,280
- [Oscar] You haven't seen this person.

3168
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:00,113
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3169
02:05:00,113 --> 02:05:03,789
- And it's that recognition also of like,

3170
02:05:03,789 --> 02:05:08,716
these people don't see me as
me and don't value me as me,

3171
02:05:08,716 --> 02:05:11,051
and it's overwhelming and I leave.

3172
02:05:11,051 --> 02:05:11,884
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3173
02:05:11,884 --> 02:05:15,097
- And what I decide to do
while I'm walking around,

3174
02:05:16,064 --> 02:05:19,742
and I've been debating it,
but I take this opportunity

3175
02:05:19,742 --> 02:05:21,825
to go to Aunt Freaky's...

3176
02:05:23,382 --> 02:05:25,672
- [Brennan] Den, yeah.
- Den.

3177
02:05:25,672 --> 02:05:26,920
And I remember I clocked earlier

3178
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:31,722
that there is a piece of paper,
information, on Dr. Puss or-

3179
02:05:31,722 --> 02:05:32,555
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3180
02:05:32,555 --> 02:05:33,388
- Uncle Pus.

3181
02:05:33,388 --> 02:05:34,924
- [Oscar] Uncle Pus.
- [Brennan] Uncle Pus.

3182
02:05:34,924 --> 02:05:36,028
(players laughing)
Uncle Pus, yeah.

3183
02:05:36,028 --> 02:05:36,861
- [Jacob] A lot of
information on the table.

3184
02:05:36,861 --> 02:05:38,215
- Don't point at me-
- Professor Pus.

3185
02:05:38,215 --> 02:05:39,266
- [Jacob] A lot of data on the table.

3186
02:05:39,266 --> 02:05:40,575
- ...and go, "Dr. Puss!"

3187
02:05:40,575 --> 02:05:41,978
- A lot to remember.

3188
02:05:41,978 --> 02:05:42,980
(Vic laughing)
- [Brennan] Yeah.

3189
02:05:42,980 --> 02:05:44,123
- Can't get too caught up in names.

3190
02:05:44,123 --> 02:05:46,109
- I just spit coffee everywhere.

3191
02:05:46,109 --> 02:05:47,290
- [Oscar] Dr. Pus.

3192
02:05:47,290 --> 02:05:48,123
- [Brennan] I love it, I love it.

3193
02:05:48,123 --> 02:05:49,736
- Wait, you spilled coffee?

3194
02:05:49,736 --> 02:05:52,547
- I spit coffee everywhere.
(Oscar laughing)

3195
02:05:52,547 --> 02:05:53,925
- And I just take that infor...

3196
02:05:53,925 --> 02:05:58,883
I just take the files
and I take 'em with me.

3197
02:06:00,672 --> 02:06:01,920
- Dr. Puss.

3198
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:03,455
- [Kimia] (laughs) No, don't bully.

3199
02:06:03,455 --> 02:06:04,961
- [Oscar] Trying to... (laughs)

3200
02:06:04,961 --> 02:06:07,395
- Waiting until the second
I take a sip of something.

3201
02:06:07,395 --> 02:06:08,228
- You take the files

3202
02:06:08,228 --> 02:06:10,975
and just start heading
out of the History Heap?

3203
02:06:10,975 --> 02:06:13,667
- Yeah and make my way
toward the Carer Van.

3204
02:06:13,667 --> 02:06:16,311
- As you arrive at the Carer Van,

3205
02:06:16,311 --> 02:06:17,682
you sort of move around the people

You can hear the music
playing and see the group

3208
02:06:21,709 --> 02:06:25,293
sort of gathered here.
♪ Everywhere to me ♪

3209
02:06:25,293 --> 02:06:27,350
- [Brennan] Where do you
go to in the Carer Van?

3210
02:06:27,350 --> 02:06:28,735
- I go back to the Truthbrary,

3211
02:06:28,735 --> 02:06:31,932
and I'm honestly trying to look for Parcel

3212
02:06:31,932 --> 02:06:33,561
'cause Parcel is nowhere
to be found, correct?

3213
02:06:33,561 --> 02:06:34,980
- Parcel is nowhere to be found.

3214
02:06:34,980 --> 02:06:37,863
As you go back, give me
Awareness, difficulty of five.

3215
02:06:39,271 --> 02:06:40,199
- 10.

3216
02:06:40,199 --> 02:06:41,695
- You arrive back to the Truthbrary.

3217
02:06:41,695 --> 02:06:44,210
You see that there is a locked sort of

3218
02:06:44,210 --> 02:06:46,164
privy area in the side of the house.

3219
02:06:46,164 --> 02:06:47,181
There's no working...

3220
02:06:47,181 --> 02:06:49,461
The bathroom just drops into a hole

3221
02:06:49,461 --> 02:06:50,819
off the back of the truck,

3222
02:06:50,819 --> 02:06:52,708
but you see that there's
a small locked bathroom

3223
02:06:52,708 --> 02:06:55,872
in the Truthbrary that there
appears to be a light under.

3224
02:06:55,872 --> 02:06:57,812
You don't hear anything too
advanced going on in there,

3225
02:06:57,812 --> 02:06:59,270
but maybe that's where Parcel is.

3226
02:06:59,270 --> 02:07:01,327
But the rest of the Truthbrary
is around there as well,

3227
02:07:01,327 --> 02:07:02,618
but yeah, I think, yeah.
- I like...

3228
02:07:02,618 --> 02:07:05,689
Yeah, I gently knock on the door.

3229
02:07:05,689 --> 02:07:06,968
- You hear, "Uh...

3230
02:07:06,968 --> 02:07:07,894
I'm, uh...

3231
02:07:07,894 --> 02:07:09,318

3234
02:07:10,984 --> 02:07:11,817
- Parcel?

3235
02:07:11,817 --> 02:07:13,745
- "Uh, please leave. Sorry, uh, I need..."

3236
02:07:13,745 --> 02:07:15,606
And you hear a bag fall

3237
02:07:15,606 --> 02:07:20,448
and a number of clattering
things on the ground.

3238
02:07:21,385 --> 02:07:23,035
- Sounds familiar to me.

3239
02:07:23,035 --> 02:07:23,898
- [Kimia] Hmm.

3240
02:07:23,898 --> 02:07:25,017
- Hmm.

3241
02:07:25,017 --> 02:07:26,090
- He's coked up.

3242
02:07:26,090 --> 02:07:29,107
(Brennan laughs)
- (laughs) Clattering coke?

3243
02:07:29,107 --> 02:07:29,941
- It's the coke spoon.

3244
02:07:29,941 --> 02:07:32,953
- Parcel's been hitting rails
for the past hour, yeah.

3245
02:07:32,953 --> 02:07:33,786
- The mirror.

3246
02:07:33,786 --> 02:07:35,060
- The can.

3247
02:07:35,060 --> 02:07:38,170
- I say through the door, I say,

3248
02:07:38,170 --> 02:07:42,989
Parcel, you don't have
to tell me anything,

3249
02:07:42,989 --> 02:07:47,989
but I'd like for us to talk,
really talk to each other.

3250
02:07:48,298 --> 02:07:51,626
- Give me Warmth, difficulty of...

3251
02:07:51,626 --> 02:07:53,149
I'm gonna say difficulty of seven.

3252
02:07:54,207 --> 02:07:55,465
- Nine.
- [Brennan] Nine.

3253
02:07:55,465 --> 02:07:57,756
As you say, "Parcel I want you to...

3254
02:07:57,756 --> 02:08:02,506
You can say anything to me,"
there's a beat, a deep sigh.

3255
02:08:04,869 --> 02:08:06,726
"Parcel's not in here."
