I'll do a shot of vodka.
$28.
28.
And a lot of people come up to my bar and tell me they know magicians and want to know where they are.
I'm not lying to you. I really would like to see him.
My name's Stu. So come find me if you can't find anyone else. It's spelled S T E W, by the way. Why? No, there's no why.
I always hear about people knocking others out with chloroform. Now, is there another like.
Okay, sir, they are escorting four guests out. And you see Chris Blaine, one of the council members, holding his head.
Tell me the truth. Is it worth having the dinner?
Oh, yeah. Well, if we're going into the restroom to try to get some info from Captain Handy, then we're gonna have to go through the wall.
This guy in a nice gray suit walks up. I want to know what's going on over there.
Which one of these magicians seems like they have the most to say about this crazy thing that just happened with Chris Blaine over here?
Well, come on. I mean, this golden rule is you always talk to the chefs and the cooks and the wait staff. They know all the gossip.
That's great.
Gotta. We gotta get upstairs.
That's great. Someday you gotta tell me your name.
Chandler. Ricky, you were in the back room. The door opens and Captain Handy and the Great Panini are looking at you. You're all looking at each other. What do you do?
I am trying to find Razor. I am his cousin. I'm so sorry. I'm Felicia Tolle. I'm just trying to find him. We had a death in the family and he's not answering his phone. Can anybody just tell me. I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to be in here. I just started feeling for anything magical and I wound up in this bathroom again. If anyone can just point me to Razor, that would be awesome. Otherwise, I'll just help myself out.
Ricky, this feels like a move. Are you trying to do Jessica Jones entry?
Well, yeah, kinda. But that's only once I'm into a secure location.
It says when you double talk your way into a secure location.
Right.
You're trying to get to Razor. Now you are in a secure location. But I would allow this move to double talk your way. It doesn't say talk your way out of a secure location. But in this situation, I'm going to allow that if you want to do so. Because I was going to have you roll manipulate someone anyway and this feels like this is more Jessica Jones entry move related.
Okay. If you will oblige.
Yes. Roll that move for me and we'll see what you roll and I'll recap what happens on that move. That's a mixed success on an eight. So on a seven to nine, pick two. So I'm going to read this list to you and you choose two of these for me. You don't leave any trace of what you searched, which I think could still apply here. Although you didn't do a whole lot of searching. You find what you wanted. You find something else that's important. You don't piss anyone off. You aren't recognized. Pick two for me.
I find what I wanted.
Okay. And that is?
I find out where Razor is.
Okay. And then the second one.
The second is I don't piss anybody off.
You don't piss anyone off. Panini looks at you, Chandler, and he realizes there's some. There's some mental calculus going on in his head. He looks to you, Chandler, get her out of here. Now. In exchange, we don't talk about what you heard in here. Deal?
I fully nod my head. Deal.
He looks at Chandler. Deal.
Say deal.
No deal.
I'm on to you, Panini. I smell what kind of panini you are and just know that whatever you're covering up, it's gonna come to light.
Well, you're being a real sourdough right now. I was gonna let the two of you leave. Let's get the two of you leave without any issue. But if you're going to push this issue, Chandler, then we're going to have to have another meeting in the morning about your status here in the Grifter's Guild. Is that what you want?
Why wait until morning?
Chandler's butt.
What?
In this moment, as you pinch Chandler's butt, Captain Handy turns to grape. Panini. Did you know the great panini he looks at you? Earlier tonight, I was going to do Chandler's magic trick in front of the entire viewing audience. I was going to steal a magic trick right in front of everyone's eyes. How do you feel about that, Panini? And Panini's face is, like, confused. What do y' all do?
So wait a minute. You do remember that Captain Handy, he looks at you?
I sure did. And I was going to do it in front of everybody. I. In fact, I was going to do your whole act for the entire audience.
Well, you know that wouldn't work very well for you because I referenced myself so many times during my act that you Would have just looked stupid. But now that I now I know that you did have your mental faculties intact at the start of that show.
Chandler, if you could for me rolled read a bad situation.
As they're talking, I'm moving my body so that my lapel camera gets everyone's faces in it.
That's a failure. So this is a great. This has not come up in our game yet. So you rolled a six, which is a failure. There is the move in monster of the week called help out, which gives a plus one to a roll. Ricky, you happen to be in the room here with Chandler. Would you like to roll help out? You have to tell me what that is and then I'll have you roll. How are you going to help out this situation right now?
May I hear it one more time about how it went down exactly?
Are you asking to be the keeper or the character?
The keeper, please.
So sorry, what's your question exactly how.
This, how Chandler's move went down. Can you recap it for me so I can exactly figure out how I would want to help?
So from your point of view, Ricky Panini is. I want to be nice. Chandler, he's very boastful. He's very. He's very confident right now. He is thrown completely off by what Captain Handy is saying. You're. You feel something is. Something is definitely wrong right now. And so Chandler's spidey sense is activated. So something is off. So what are you doing to help maybe figure out, like what's going on, like something. The energy has shifted in here.
I'll do a firm pat on the back.
Okay, so. So before you roll, I want to be sure I'm fair here. Rolling help out. When you help out. Another hunter roll plus cool on a 10 plus your help grants them plus one to their role, which will give Chandler a 7. A mixed success. On a 7 and 9, your help grants them plus one to THEIR role, but also expose yourself to trouble or danger. So there is some danger here for you, Ricky, if you help out Chandler.
Yeah, it just seemed like the Keeper was trying to nudge towards doing help, so I felt I had to take it. So I'm doing. I'm doing it. I'm helping.
You don't have to do anything. Feel free to roll if you would.
Like I a nice firm pat on the back.
You rolled a seven, which is a vic success. On a seven and nine, your help grants some plus one to the roll, but you also expose your. Expose yourself to trouble or danger. So, Chandler, that gets you up To a seven. We'll get to your danger in a moment here, Ricky. On a rate a bad situation. On a 7 and 9, you get a hold one. Chandler, what's my best way in? My best way out? Dangers we haven't noticed. Biggest threat, most vulnerable to me. Best way to protect the victims. And one other thing which I think we have addressed so far on the. On this show, if you act on the answers, you get a plus one ongoing while the information is relevant. So we'll decide how that factors in as we go, depending on what you ask me. Chandler, what's your question?
What's the biggest threat?
I'm glad you asked that question, Chandler, because as you look at Captain Handy, you see the same posture, the rhythm of voice, the direct insult to some of the rules of the Grifter's Guild that he is flaunting in front of the head of the council. Captain Hanny is currently possessed by the spirit. What did the two of you do?
Well, we go. We better go find Edna's cousin. Here, kitty. What's your. What was it? Which middle name are you going by today?
Mitch Mill. Excuse me, my new friend here, I believe. I am Felicia Tolle.
Felicia Tully. Right. I. I gotta go help Felicia find her cousin. I'm her wingman for. Only for. For relatives, though. Not for dating. Not for finding dates, only for finding cousins. So we'll leave you guys to talk. Sorry to disturb you. I'll be back though. Or later maybe more or less. Just gonna have a little pow wow with Felicia while we find her cousin.
Yeah. By the way, cool, cool wall door thing. Very cool. Didn't see it at all. I just have, like I said, happened to touch the right thing in the wall. Otherwise no one knows this is here. Very cool. Love it a lot. Thank you. Take me away, new friend.
You see, Panini is so thrown off by what's happening with Handy. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, just. Just leave. Handy is looking at you, Ricky, like a little like narrowing of the eyes. A little. Little, A little directly. If you two want to leave you. There is an opening here. Literally add metaphorically to. To leave this area. Is that what you'd like to do?
Yeah, let's just go slip down over here and go look for people that we're looking for.
Razor, my cousin Razor. Yeah, we're going to go. But I look at Captain Handy, seeing him do the eyes at me, and I wink back as I leave.
It's important to note, Chandler, because we talked about this off mic. When you will Read a bad situation. It opens your third eye to invisible things. You did not see anything invisible in this room this time.
Okay, well, here's a question for the keeper.
Yes, that is me.
Hi, keeper. If someone is possessed by a spirit, would I see said spirit while they are inside a host body? Does it work like an. Does it work like an X ray machine for spirits?
I will give you two answers. One will leave you satisfied, one will not.
Okay, so I'll break even.
So when you see invisible things, you see invisible things and the first time that were that happened to you, you saw the thing leave Captain Hannity's body and like, phase into the wall. If you want to dig further into the more detailed part of your question, I'll have to have you roll investigate a mystery and you'll have to like, you know, figure out, you know, do something to figure that part out. But notice notably, maybe I'll put it this way. You did not see the spirit leave Campton handy or panini or anything. You didn't see a spirit in this room last time you saw it actually leave when the trick failed.
But we did see red glowing eyes.
Correct? Was anyone looking for the glint in the eyes?
I thought you said that we saw that moments ago.
Perhaps not in this room. You rolled dangers we haven't noticed. Okay, you can go back in the room and. Hey, hey, buddy.
I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna grab Felicia by her shirt collar and tug her a little bit down the hall so that we're out of ear range of those two.
Because listen, this is designer.
Yeah, so. So Chandler, just so I know. Chandler, before you move further, there is more. So you're in like the lounge area and the bathroom is to like to your right. You could go back into the general, like where the guests are or you can go further into. There's a whole bunch of like smaller dorms like that line the south of the building. So you can like go, go like down another hallway but still in the magic, you know, person's area. Is that where you want to go or do you want to go into the general pop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, definitely you want to find a little crevice, you know, even if it's just between sconces. Just a little. Just a little something. Sure.
You're in. You're in this constance. Great. I want to check in with Hal really quick. What are you doing? Hal, your best friend. He's like. Two vodka tonics, please. This is amazing. Getting some drinks at the bar.
Okay, great. That I Followed him to the bar. And I'm trying to talk to the person that's either available or that is making the. The Vico tonics.
Yeah, there's a bartender there and this guy's like, this guy doesn't even know my name. And I'm buying two drinks for us new best friend. The bartender like rolls his eyes and.
Makes the drinks because that's how you know it's a real connection.
Huh. Bartender just does one of the head nods like. Yep.
It seems like somebody is tricking the tricksters tonight, huh? Are you have a good view from back there?
Yeah, yeah, I see. I see a lot. Yeah, I see a lot of stuff. Yeah.
Wow.
$78. I got it. Your new friend says, I got it. Don't worry.
Yeah, sure. I don't want one.
Two for me.
Hey.
It'S.
It seems. It seems like a crazy. I've rarely ever been here. It seems like a strange energy for tonight. Are you doing okay back there?
Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, it's just. It's very clearly written on, you know, the ticket on your email. Like, don't go in the magic magician's areas. And I guess. I guess one of the magicians led a whole bunch of guests in the back area, which is like one of the big rules, you know, I can't. I can't believe he did that.
But. Yeah. Do you know anybody that would want revenge on him? Try to. Try to trick him into doing that?
Trick him into doing it? I mean, it's pretty hard to trick someone to do that. Unless they were.
You think they were? Oh, yeah.
What?
Oh, yeah.
What do you think might have happened to make him do that?
I guess he just forgot. I don't know. Or maybe he didn't care. I don't know. I mean, that's.
I guess I'm more cynical. My name is Hal. What's your name?
Oh, I'm Liam.
I'm the bartender.
Liam. Hi.
Hi.
Liam the bartender.
Your friend says, I am Aiden, by the way he looks at you.
Oh, I. I'm. I'm Hal.
We just. We just. We just exchanged names. He. Aiden, says to Liam, it was a.
Remarkable connection up until now.
I got two drinks.
Which one's better?
I'll let you know. And he kind of wanders off away from the bar.
The two drinks will. Liam. I feel like maybe I'm just more cynical than you. If somebody were like, blackmailing him or twisting his arm or somehow making him do this thing that he knows he's not supposed to do all night. Crazy all day. In fact, crazy things have been happening to the, the members here. And I'm just wondering, like, does somebody, like, have it out for them? Do you think anybody wants revenge on this group of people?
Get in line. These people are not the easiest to deal with sometimes.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Yeah, but you didn't hear that from me.
Okay? Yeah. Lips are sealed.
Did you? By the way, do you want any drinks? Or you just. It's a water situation, huh?
I'll buy you a drink.
I'm working.
Oh, it could be water.
They're free.
Yeah, have one.
Thank you. He takes his cap off his water. All right, I'm going to tend the customers, you know. Okay. So I'll be back.
Okay. All right.
Our timelines have collided. I just want to check Chandler and Ricky. You want to hide in the back rooms there and. And do what? What's your next move here?
We're just, just hiding out just for a moment. Just for a quick little chitty chat.
Sure.
Look, Ricky, they are in on it, okay? Because did you see. Look, Captain Handy, he was talking about trying to do my show. He. He knew what was going on at the beginning of that show, which means that he is possessed right now. Otherwise he would have no idea. And then Captain Panini was totally trying to keep him down and keep him quiet. He knows what's going on. So at least those two are in on it. We don't know how big this could be.
So what I'm getting is they're in on it. I've dedicated. They're in on it.
Yeah, here's it. And they're not just in it, but they're on it.
They're on it. They're in it and on it. On it.
There.
Yeah, I didn't know how much that shot would mess up my head. That is a. That is a shot on sale, but it has the full price effect, I'll tell you that.
Yeah, that's the silver lining of the overpriced drinks. They're very.
Love that movie. Love it. Okay, so they're on it. They're in it. Those two. He's possessed right now because he repeated everything to you. You wanted to hear. All right, let's go back in there. Let's just go back in the bathroom and arrest. Oh, wait, wait. No. What did they say? We're supposed to do something. I wish Hal was here. I would call him. I don't have my phone. I don't know where I left it. Oh, geez.
Well, you left it with security.
Oh, I left.
I mean you left it at the front desk slash security.
Thank you so much. I don't know what I'd do without ya.
Really? Do you mean it?
What? Let's go find Hal.
Urgent care splinter under your fingernail. Urgent care kidney stones. Urgent care splinter in your palm. Urgent care appendicitis. Urgent care splinter in that fleshy part of your finger. Urgent care heart transplant. Urgent care Splinter wedged in the back of your mouth where the base of your tongue meets your gums. How did that get there? We've got questions.
As a doctor visiting from Los Santos, I can attest to the importance of having urgent care in your neighborhood. I'm Dr. Perry O' Dontal and go see your urgent care today.
Today's modern world emphasizes self care. But how do you self care for a ruptured spleen or a splinter in your spleen? We here at Urgent Care of Los Angeles recognize your limitations and we've got doctors on staff to handle all that medical stuff for you. Urgent Care of Los Angeles. Got the urge.
Hal, you're outside. You see that Chris Blaine has been moved inside the security room. You see a couple people talking with him. As you're where you are. From your eagle eye vision, you see handy and panini. I love that we have these last names with the E sound. They come through the, the general area here and they also go into security room. It looks like security is like locking down that spot. You also see it's the dinner time. So you see guests are, they're still kerfuffle. But you see like some of the staff like okay, everyone, sorry for that disruption, but dinner is served. Please make your way up to your tables upstairs and we apologize for that inconvenience, but everything is fine. And enjoy your meal. And you. So you see like a, a, you know, people moving to that second floor, that large dining room. So there's a lot happening. What, what's your next step here, Hal?
I am going to go see if, if my phone's got a little juice. I'm going to go to the coat room with Janice.
Great. This is going to be our new move. We're going to use plugged in. I need you to roll a 2D6 plus 3 for me.
Yeah.
And the flavor of this move, using it here. Has Janice even gotten to your phone to plug it in yet? What's what I got here? You rolled a 10, which is a full success on plugged in. She hands you your phone. Is that by the way, that's a plus one. And that. So it'd be 11, right? Or did you add that already?
I added the one.
Great. So that's a full success on a 10. She hands you your phone, looks like you're probably the one. The first one she plugged in and she goes, here you go.
Ah, Janice, thank you so much. Quick question. Has anyone on staff been fired recently, particularly angry about it? Somebody been kicked out and made a stink before? You know, before today.
I can't think of anything specific. No, I just. I mean, I'm sure you saw Blaine's out. Can't believe you did that.
Neither can I. Neither can I. Okay, great.
Thanks.
I'm gonna look and see if I've had a response from Laser and Feelings. Feelings and Lasers.
You look at your phone and no response. No response yet. No response yet.
That's super aggravating. What is this person doing? It's been many, many minutes. Okay, great. Anybody else topped up that I should return their phone to them or are they just starting the other phones?
Well, I unplugged your phone, so I'm going to plug in the next one on my pile here.
That's super nice of you.
There's like 10 phones here. Everyone hands me their phones. It's a code check, but people think it's a charging station.
I don't get it, but did they tip you for it?
No.
Oh, that's too bad. I was going to give you a tip.
Thanks anyway.
Bye.
Great. Chandler and Ricky, what are you doing?
We're still huddled in the little. In our little nook.
Okay.
And I'll tell you one thing. As quick as that shot comes on, the quicker it leaves. All right, I'm feeling back to normal. Let's go find Hal.
Okay. Let me just ask you this, Ricky. Were you possessed with that shot when you pinched my butt?
I was trying to get us out of that situation. I know what I'm doing. I just feel a little happier.
Oh, so you. So you wanted to pinch my butt? Just. Okay.
Just.
Just making sure.
Were you not uncomfortable in that room?
Oh, no, that was. Yeah, that was. Yeah.
Something going on with those two guys?
A whole something. Big. Big something.
But, like, I would say one of them was possessed if I could.
Yeah, I think we covered that. But. But you're. But, yeah.
Okay.
But I still, you know, nice. It was a nice pinch on the butt. That's all I'm saying.
All right, thank you.
We should move on.
Thank you.
Okay, so it's either back to the bathroom to deal with those guys or. You know what I mean, I don't know if. I don't know if we're gonna get anywhere with those two right now. We need like to find Hell. That too. I mean. Yes, that. And then we got to get to the bottom of who is behind all of this. Because I feel like it's a conspiracy. It's more than just one person in on it. I don't know who the, you know, the leader guy is.
You know, sometimes I feel really held back by you two boys. I could have scheduled an hour with at least three different men by now, but could have done some investigating, some deducing. I am a detective after all.
Well, yeah, I mean, look, you. I. I don't mean to hold you back. You're free to do as much platonic detecting as you want.
Okay? Next time I go to do it, just let me do it, all right?
Okay. Just let me know that it's just platonic. Yeah, that. Thanks.
And I start walking to the.
How. Go ahead. You have something? Do you have something?
Just gonna say I turn around and start walking.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Hal, the people are leaving. You notice your new friend Aiden is making his way up the stairs. He's like, did you buy dinner? You coming up?
Oh, I'm not hungry either. I haven't had anything to drink.
You're not gonna eat anything? Dude, it's pretty good.
What are they serving?
You could do prime rib with mashed potatoes or chicken with green beans. I think they have a vegetarian dish too.
What are you.
What?
I mean, like, what are you having?
I'm getting all three, baby. Yeah, you only live once. You only live once, man.
Why don't you pack one up in a box for me? Maybe I'll swing by and get it a little bit later.
Boo. And he walks up the stairs. It's kind of a no. Chandler and Ricky, are you emerging from the secret hallway to find hell? Yes.
Yeah.
Okay. We are emerging big.
No, I feel like we're close.
I'm glad you are feeling something like that. I feel like I've gotten all dead ends.
Is that Hal across the way talking to us?
Sorry.
I'm glad you're feeling that way. I feel like I've had nothing. Nothing but dead ends.
Well, hey, hell, I'm still not sure if he's talking to us or if that was directed at Grey suit guy.
That's fair. I start speed walking to Hal.
I start speed following.
I start speed waiting. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Hey, Hal.
Thank goodness How'd you beat me here? I somehow got behind Chandler.
I.
Behind you, Chandler. You see, you hear. Hey, Chan. Hey, Chandler, behind you.
I whip around.
Abby Kadabra is there in her magician outfit. Oh, I didn't know. I know you're gonna be here tonight. Tonight, but, you know.
Hi, Abby Kadabra.
He says hello. Perfect. Just making sure. I'm going back.
What?
Is your friend okay?
She had a shot.
I'm drunk.
Oh, they are on sale. They're a good deal.
She drank the whole thing.
Okay, I'm leaving.
Oh, wow, Abby, you seem unpleasantly surprised that I'm here.
No, I am. I'm just. I wasn't sure if you're gonna show up because, you know, you don't come around here all that often anymore, you know, So I was. I was kind of getting a lot.
Of parties to do.
No, I mean, I got a lot of parties to do, too.
And I got a lot of. Asked to perform.
Yeah.
To do.
Me, too. I'm so booked and stuff. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I was. I was going to get dinner, but, you know, I don't want to, like, interrupt you and your friends and your time together, so I'll just.
No, we're sitting. She's too drunk. Let's sit.
We're sitting.
Yeah, let's.
I'm going to go with this guy. This guy is my partner.
Oh, you're together.
And I'm pointing to Hal.
Oh, you're together. Pretty much. So you're.
I'd say 98% degrees.
Perfect.
I love that. I love that group. I love that group. Yeah.
I like her.
Yeah. Do you want to. Do we want to go up and have dinner or. I don't mind trying to, like, pressure you or.
Yeah, let's have dinner.
Okay.
Yeah. Ricky, I'm gonna have dinner with her.
Well, all of us are gonna have dinner.
Okay.
Prove so hard.
Okay. I feel like I'm interrupting something. I'm interrupting something. You have all of an energy.
No, they're interrupting something. They're. They're interrupting our dinner, which should start right now.
All our dinner. But. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, yeah, let's.
Let's head upstairs.
I will say I'm trying to slow down the group space as we're walking up there and. And talking a lower volume. I.
You.
You're not wrong. I'm feeling a little weird. All the strange things happening to magicians tonight.
What do you mean?
Oh, I think Chris Blaine had a problem earlier, and I think. Oh, Handy was in an argument with Panini.
I'm Missing all this gossip.
Oh, yeah. So that's nice. That's nice. I don't. I don't want to stress you out or anything.
It just does.
It.
It does feel like someone is trying to, you know, bring. Bring the leadership down, you know?
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Can I just.
I know. I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no. I get it. Women and women. We're sorry.
Women and women.
Can I just ask you one question, and maybe. This is private. I'm so sorry. How have you not been around for any of the kerfuffle with anybody? How is this all new information I'm.
Preparing at my show later in the.
Huh.
Not the palace of Premonition, the parlor premonition. I was getting ready for my show, so. I mean, I guess you are all plugged in more than I am.
Guess we had a front for a seat, huh?
Yeah, well, I. I have plenty of seats here. And she sits down at one of the tables for. For dinner.
Oh, yeah. Not being literal. I did. I did hear from some people the idea that these. These guys kind of had it coming, you know?
I don't know.
I.
No, I don't know what you mean. What are you talking about?
Oh, I just feel like they were humbling and grumbling among some of the staff about how these, you know, these. These. These Guild members. Not the easiest. The. The council. Maybe not the easiest to.
You know.
So I don't.
Maybe.
Maybe some people think it's good, it's time for a change, you know?
She looks at you. Chandler. I. What? What? What. What are you talking about? What's going on?
Look, Abby, there's something. Possessing magicians tonight and.
Don't say that word. Do not say that possessing word.
You mean possessing?
Don't say it.
Okay.
Saying that alone might get us kicked out.
Well, see, now that. That's a rule that needs to change. I mean, there should be.
That's a rule they have.
There should be no censorship here. And while we're on it, they need to loosen up on this dress code.
Yeah, I wasn't in possession of a full suit.
Oh, I thought that's not your suit. She points at you, Hal. That's not yours.
This vertically striped behemoth? No.
You do look very tall.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
And very slim, by the way.
What do y' all want? I can have. We can. We can customize the orders. They have beef, chicken and vegetarian.
Oh, the custom would be great. Can I have the chicken, but instead of the greens, I Have no.
There's no. I'm sorry, I missed. Oh, I misspoke. There's not. You can't substitute. But you can. I. I can tell them to. Usually you pre order. When you sign up online, you pre order your. Your dinner.
Okay.
So I could tell them, like, what are the three dishes you want?
Oh, yeah, I'll have the three dishes.
Okay.
They don't have any tilapia.
Fine with me.
Tilapia dough. I don't think we've had that since the 80s.
Oh.
How hungry are you?
Me? I was gonna have one dish.
Okay. And on a scale of one to five, five being the most, zero being nothing. How.
How well, that is zero.
Yeah, I know. Thank you. I just wanted to ask, how happy are you here at the Magic Palace? Are you sitting comfortable? Are you rage filled? Fit the scale accordingly.
This chair is very comfortable. And I love being a magician. I love that this is what I do for a living, for my life. I mean, it's been dreaming since I've been a little girl that I could be a magician here at the Magic palace, part of the Grifter's guild, of all things. It's dream come true. Across the dining room, Hal. Hey. Aiden shouts, holding up his pair of Sorry, I moved away from my mic. He shouts up from across the room. Hey. With his Bakatonix looking your way, like, really happy to see you up here having dinner.
I took your advice. I'm gonna have three.
He like, fist pumps in the air. And in that moment, the panel. Chandler, you're where? So the dining room is like, situated as. It's kind of like a big L, right? So there's like a. A large part of the L that you're in. And then it kind of curves around to more. Some more dining areas. Along the far wall are rooms. There's more secret magic, you know, magician hallways and that sort of thing. And a lot of those panels, one in which that you accessed earlier to listen in on the council meeting. One of those panels opens and emerges from the. The back hallway is Nick Nichols. She is one of the other members on the council. And she goes, apologies, everybody. I. I'll let you all eat your dinner. I just had to get something off my chest. And she pulls out two women who look just like her. And what you all notice is that there's this weird, like, vibe between the three of them. Like there's a hesitation and then they. They come out. They're hesitation and they come out. The hesitation. They come out. And she says, Nick says, I want to reveal how I've been doing my tricks all these years. I'm not just one person.
I stand up and I yell.
It.
