WEBVTT 00:00.160 --> 00:14.720 Previously on Absolutely Killing It. Chandler, Ricky, you were in the back room. The door opens. Captain Handy and the Great Panini are looking at you. You're all looking at each other. He looks to you. Chandler, get her out of here now. In exchange, we don't talk about what you heard in here. Deal? 00:14.800 --> 00:15.840 Deal. Say deal. 00:16.079 --> 00:20.320 No deal. Captain Hanny is currently possessed. Oh, I'm Liam. I'm the bartender. 00:20.320 --> 00:20.720 Liam. 00:20.720 --> 00:21.040 Hi. 00:21.040 --> 00:22.200 Hi. Liam the bartender. 00:22.200 --> 00:24.560 I am Aiden. By the way he looks at you. 00:24.720 --> 00:26.560 We don't know how big this could be, so. 00:26.630 --> 00:29.270 So what I'm getting is they're in on it. Let's go find Hal. 00:29.510 --> 00:36.310 Abby, Kadabra is there. Well, I was gonna get dinner, but, you know, I don't wanna, like, interrupt you and your friends and your time together, so I'll just. 00:36.310 --> 00:38.310 No, we're sitting. She's too drunk. Let's sit. 00:38.310 --> 00:48.070 We're sitting. And emerges from the back hallway is Nick Nichols. She is one of the other members on the council. All these years, I'm not just one person. 00:48.230 --> 00:49.910 I stand up and I yell. 01:11.020 --> 01:29.500 Hunters. I would like to take this opportunity to allow you to chat as players, not necessarily as characters, to kind of catch yourselves up. Where. Where are you at? What do you think is going on? What is most important? And then we're gonna pick up where we left off from there. So I want to give you the opportunity to talk amongst yourselves. 01:30.140 --> 01:36.300 I never remember anything. I tried taking notes, but then I'm just. 01:36.300 --> 01:36.899 As a rule. 01:36.899 --> 01:42.380 It's like when you wake up from a dream and you write it down. I don't know what the any of this means. 01:46.960 --> 01:56.080 Oh, I think of it more as when you're trying not to fall asleep in class and you're trying to take notes, and then you look down later and it's just lines. 01:56.480 --> 02:07.760 I think of it more of you're in class to communicate telepathically with a dog and you're writing what you want them to know. And then later you ask the dog what you guys talked about. 02:08.560 --> 02:10.000 So what do your notes say? 02:12.240 --> 02:12.640 Food. 02:12.640 --> 02:13.040 Food. 02:13.040 --> 02:13.760 Stinky. 02:14.880 --> 02:19.480 We did eat dinner. We did sit down to eat dinner at the Magic Palace. That is true. 02:19.960 --> 02:28.560 It's true. And some leader came out and revealed how she does some of her illusions. 02:28.560 --> 02:32.439 And we've already had dinner. Are we seated to have dinner? 02:32.439 --> 02:34.480 Is that Nick? Is that Nick? 02:34.480 --> 02:43.320 Okay, good. Because I don't remember what we ordered seated. And I think it would be pretty memorable. You're having the fish. I'm having tilapia. 02:43.320 --> 02:47.680 I think I feel like There was no fish specifically. 02:47.680 --> 02:50.480 There definitely wasn't tilapia, but I think you could bring your own. 02:50.720 --> 02:54.200 Oh, then I should look into that, too. I. I think I'm having both the. 02:54.200 --> 02:55.680 Prime and the chicken. 02:55.760 --> 02:56.040 Look. 02:56.040 --> 02:56.800 This I remember. 02:56.960 --> 03:11.440 I love that the dinner selection is top of mind. Let me ask a question to kind of summarize the entire mystery so far. What do you think is. What do you think is going on? Have you identified the threat, do you know what. How to deal with said threat, etc. 03:12.100 --> 03:15.460 Against my better judgment, I do believe a possession is occurring. 03:15.780 --> 03:53.900 Yeah. Yeah. Nick comes out from one of the theaters and starts to get everyone's attention in the restaurant saying, look at me. And she starts to reveal a trick. And I know. I stand up and I yell no to try and stop them from revealing a trick. That's where we left off last. Now, I also, along with Chandler, got stuck. Stuck in a pretty hot bathroom. And I luckily was able to work my way out of that situation. No harm, no foul. But we overheard some talking, Captain Handy. 03:54.300 --> 04:02.140 And then didn't Abby show up right at the end there for something? Okay, we're eating with her. 04:02.140 --> 04:02.940 She's at your table. 04:03.900 --> 04:04.620 Yeah, yeah. 04:04.620 --> 04:19.100 I'm very suspicious of her, but she's fine. I mean, I still want to get to Razor's quarters to ask him who else has wronged. Who else is maybe on the bad list, the con list, that they would be targeted for a possession. 04:19.660 --> 04:45.620 But I feel like the. If we haven't heard it verbatim, it feels like everyone in the leadership is. Is probably, like, you know, up for possession would warrant revenge of some kind. Because so many people think that there's so many reasons for somebody to be unhappy with the palace leadership, but there's. 04:45.620 --> 04:49.820 One person, the most upset who's been calling upon this possession. No. 04:50.380 --> 04:51.260 Oh, wow. 04:51.260 --> 04:54.700 Do they have to be the most upset? Maybe they're just the most willing, you know? 04:54.860 --> 04:58.380 All right, it's time to ask all the ladies how they're feeling. 04:58.780 --> 05:04.170 If they're all equally upset and. And vengeful, then it's gonna be a long day. Have a cult. 05:05.530 --> 05:11.650 But I do remember last time thinking I have been hung up on the question of. Yeah, who. 05:11.650 --> 05:12.010 Who. 05:12.250 --> 05:31.660 Who is the person that brought about this possession? But a more salient question might be the. The nature of the. Or the vulnerability of the. Of the possessing spirit or whatever. So we can do away with their possession. 05:32.780 --> 05:44.540 Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, we know that whoever's possessed, if we get them to fall asleep kindly, then they'll leave the body. Is that. Is that correct? 05:46.780 --> 06:09.409 Yeah, it's true, actually. Stu with no Y is in the tape viewing office. So if I threw my flashlight right now at Nick and was able to knock her out, at least I wouldn't be face to face with Stu right away. There's probably other security guards up here. 06:12.850 --> 06:18.930 Great. Any. Anything else you want to talk amongst yourselves before. Before we. Before we hop in, how many. 06:20.170 --> 06:25.010 Remind me how many people again, were being escorted away amongst that kerfuffle with. 06:25.010 --> 07:57.140 This is a small group. It looked like like four or five people. It looked like, well, a group of your size probably. Probably a party that came in. It looked from people's vantage point in character who saw it looks like, you know, Chris led this group to the back hallways, which does violate one of the rules of the Magic Palace. And this is not the first, this is not the last time I'm letting you check in as a. As a. As players. It's. I just wanted to give you the opportunity to check in. What parts of the puzzle are you missing? Because that might be very informative about what's going to happen here at the top of our session. So at the end of last session, last time, as you recapped properly, Abby had joined your group. It's dinner time. Y' all didn't really want to go to dinner, but eventually decided you're going to have. Have the dinner because a lot of the people. That's usually this part of the evening where dinner is served and then there's more magic. Usually afterwards you sit down and as you correctly described, Ricky, one of those panels that looks like a wall opens up and Nick Nichols appeared, but behind her were two women who looked just like her. And she said in front of the entire audience, like all the guests here tonight, she revealed how she does her illusions. She's. She's one of triplets. As she was doing that, Ricky stood up and said, no, Ricky, we're going to start with you. I don't know if you recall, but you met eyes with Fill in the blank. You have now caught this entity's attention. So I'm going to let you roll for me before we do anything else. Read a bad situation. 07:57.380 --> 07:59.620 I am rolling. Read a bad situation. 08:00.420 --> 08:26.380 That is an eight. That is a mixed success. So on a mixed success, you get a hold one. I'll recap the questions once again for you. What's my best way in? What's my best way out? What's my best. Are there any dangers we haven't noticed? What's the biggest threat. What's most vulnerable to me? Meaning what? What impact could you do to, you know, a threat that you name? Right. And what's the best way to protect the victims? Which of those questions would you like to ask? 08:29.580 --> 08:42.069 Ooh. Okay. So my brain goes to wanting to. Because I'm clearly aware that that possession's happening. 08:42.229 --> 08:53.029 Yes. So as you stood up and shouted. No. Nick turns and you see that this person locks eyes with you as you. As you stand up and shout no. Hence the role. 08:53.189 --> 09:09.760 So, yeah, I guess I kind of want to know what's my best way into getting this possessor to getting the entity within. Like, I want to know how to trap it or hold it so it doesn't escape, to vanish. 09:10.400 --> 09:11.600 So it doesn't vanish. 09:12.160 --> 09:18.400 Mm. Because so far we've seen the. We've known that the red leaves. 09:18.480 --> 09:35.070 Well, let me. Well, let me. Let me answer your question with a question. Best way in is typically. I guess it could. Yeah, usually it's a space. But it sounds like you might be asking, what? Most vulnerable to me. But that would imply hurting the entity. Are you trying to hurt this entity, or are you trying to do something else? 09:35.550 --> 09:44.590 No, not hurting it. Just. I want it to not immediately flee upon my recognition of it. 09:44.990 --> 09:47.230 Well, then maybe that's. Are there any dangers we haven't noticed? 09:47.790 --> 09:52.590 Okay, so I would like to choose. Are there any dangers here we haven't noticed? 09:53.150 --> 10:34.460 It seems as though whatever this is can move between bodies as it needs to. You saw. I forget who rolled the last time. I apologize. But I did describe this to you. It looked like each one of the triplets were, in turn, being adjusted, as if it was like, this one is. And then the other two. The other one moved. It was kind of like managing all three. It felt. It looked like. And they kind of all came out, like, kind of jaggedly. So it looks like it has the ability to kind of move as it sees fit. You suspect that even though you did stand up and point. No. That it may have accomplished its goal. So it's probably going to be leaving the body now. But it is looking at you, Ricky. 10:34.860 --> 10:45.780 Come on here. Come take me over. Let's go. This is my T date that I. 10:45.780 --> 11:25.850 Wanted in this moment. So I'm going to back. Literally back 10 seconds for Chandler and for. Almost called you by your government name, Hal, as Ricky stands up and points. No. Part of the reason why. I want to give you as players, opportunity to kind of collect yourselves, each of you, if you want to take this chance in this split Moment before things are going to happen. Is there anything now that you're in the room with this happening, Is there a new thing you want to try to figure out? Like I'll let you try to roll something is basically what I'm saying that, like, this is a chance to do it. Like, you're in there. There's a lot going on. Whoever wants to go first, tell me what you're thinking or what you're trying to figure out, and I'll have you roll something. 11:26.410 --> 11:36.570 I mean, I don't know offhand what I want to figure out. I feel like it's. If I can roll my sensitive, I should try it. 11:36.650 --> 11:37.210 I love that. 11:37.210 --> 11:37.770 I love that. 11:38.650 --> 11:42.170 What would you like to. Yeah, Would you like to try to pick up? 11:43.930 --> 11:53.310 I. I mean, I'd like to pick up what. What can do away with this possessive spirit. 11:53.470 --> 12:02.750 Roll me sensitive. So sensitive. When you open up your brain to the psychic environment, roll. Weird. So we'll see what you roll first, and then we'll see what you get. How about that? 12:02.990 --> 12:04.110 How about it? 12:04.510 --> 12:25.550 A 13. That is an advanced success, which you don't have yet, but a 13 is a full success. On a 10 or more, you gain a definite impression, a vision, tangible aura, overheard thought, et cetera, about something important. Obviously that's worded vaguely because you get to choose what that means. Something important. So you do your thing. What is it you're trying to pick up on? 12:25.550 --> 12:28.190 Yeah, I want to know what could. 12:28.830 --> 12:29.390 Like what. 12:29.470 --> 12:35.070 What. What is like the crucial vulnerability of. Of. Of the possessor. 12:35.630 --> 12:37.310 The. The possessor. 12:37.910 --> 12:39.350 The possessing entity. 12:39.590 --> 12:56.550 Vulnerability of the possessor. How about that? Let me. Let me refine your question. Vulnerability in terms of getting it out of here, getting it to stop what it's doing, destroying it. Find out what it's doing. Because there might be. I might give you a different answer based on. Based on what you wanted you to. 12:56.550 --> 12:59.670 Do to end its mission of revenge. 13:00.150 --> 13:43.490 Perfect use of this move. So Ricky stands up like. And you see Nick Nichols, one in front. Lock eyes with Ricky. You get hit with a vision. You see Hollywood Forever Cemetery. And like a c. Like a first person camera. First person camera view of you going through the cemetery. And you see it land on a grave. And it says on the gravestone, milo Bumpkus. This person died a few years ago. You can tell in this vision and in the little epitaph, it says, being part of the guild does not make or break a magician. Milo was a magician. In our hearts, being a part of. 13:43.490 --> 13:45.250 The guild does not make or break a Magician. 13:46.050 --> 13:49.370 Semi. New line. Full new line. New line. 13:49.370 --> 13:50.130 New line. 13:50.130 --> 14:18.280 Break. Milo is a magician in our hearts. And. And you rolled a 13, so I'm gonna say I. I don't know if this is something you'd want to do. Like, it is so clear. Like, you could go to that grave site. Like, you know, like you could see the path. It's. It's a very humble grave. Not, no offense to Milo, but it, you know, it is in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. And you could see the little, you know, the headstone and you could get that. You could go there if you wanted to. That's how good of a role you did. Chandler. Ricky stands up. 14:18.280 --> 14:18.640 No. 14:19.600 --> 14:31.060 And just for my own knowledge, Hal, apologies if you've already told me. What does it look like when you get sensitive? Like if someone's looking at you, what does it. Does your eyes, like, turn white or something? Like, what happens when you too sensitive. 14:31.060 --> 14:36.540 They get a little glazed over. But I'm not crying. I'm not crying. 14:36.940 --> 14:40.060 They get glazed over and I start to wait. 14:40.060 --> 14:42.220 Are you crying that. That house doing sensitive. 14:42.220 --> 14:43.900 Are you asking me or are you asking how? 14:44.860 --> 14:47.860 No. Well, I like that you're getting emotionally attached. 14:47.860 --> 14:50.020 I thought I heard my name, but. 14:50.020 --> 15:01.630 Hal is doing his. No, but, but Hal is. I was curious what you would see if you look at Hal when he's doing a sensitive. So, Hal, what does that look like? Yeah, I glazed over was suggested. I don't know. What. What does that look like? 15:02.020 --> 15:16.980 I do think they're a little. No, that's fine. I think you're accurate. I think you're accurate. But they're a little glazed over. I'm looking off into the middle distance and I poke my tongue out of the left side of my mouth a little. Oh, like Uncle Jordan chewing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 15:17.300 --> 15:58.310 So the MJ tongue with a little glazed, distant look. I love that. So, Chandler, no 360 dunk. Coming up on Hal. In this moment, you're. Nick Nichols has come out. I'm gonna this. I'm giving this to you for free because you would know this. She has broken yet another rule. She has revealed to an entire group how she's done all of her magic. I don't even know if you would know the Chandler. That's a choice you could make as, as a character or player. But she has just revealed to everyone like, she's ruined her entire magical career here in this moment. What either Chandler or Mitchell are you trying to figure out? You know, what questions you have, and I'll let you Roll something to see if there's another. 15:58.470 --> 16:05.830 Okay, so Nick Nichols just comes out and starts revealing her secrets. See, that's super sketchy because. 16:06.710 --> 16:07.070 Yes. 16:07.070 --> 16:11.110 Yeah, something's up. She's got to be possessed. Why else would she do that? You know? 16:12.550 --> 16:13.270 Absolutely. 16:13.270 --> 16:17.030 I mean, is that obvious? Am I stating the obvious? I mean, that does seem obvious. 16:17.670 --> 16:36.409 No, no, I like this. I like that. Chandler's. That's Chandler's. Sir, is there. Is there a question you have, Like I said, either character or player, that in this moment, I will let you roll something like, is there a piece of this puzzle you're trying to figure out now that you have all this, you know, evidence, for lack of a better word, happening in front of you? 16:38.170 --> 17:12.660 I don't know if this is the answer to the question you're asking, but. Exactly. But it does. Is there any. Is there any strategy or deliberate intention for this. For this possessor to go from one person to the next and not others? Or is it just escaping into whoever it can, based on its circumstances? How cunning is this possessor? 17:12.660 --> 17:35.550 Fantastic question. Roll investigative mystery for me. You rolled a seven, which is a mixed success. That is a. That is a hold one. What happened here? And. And I'll. I'll read. I'll restate the questions, and then if you want to just tell me a question. We'll find one that fits. Right. What happened here? What sort of creature is it? What can it do? What can hurt it? Where did it go? What was it going to do? What is being concealed here? 17:37.390 --> 17:39.070 What is being concealed here? 17:39.230 --> 18:24.800 Based on what you were saying earlier, I think it is. It strikes you so far, it appears to have taken possession. You know Razor, you know Nick, you know Handy, you know that. That's three so far. It does seem to be targeting the leaders of the council. You think that this entity was being concealed here? This is probably its main objective. You're not sure if this is going to be enough. You feel like this is only part of the plan, like. Like you know already? Razors have his, right. Razor has the thing. In the morning, Handy tried to do your trick in front of you, Nick. Just ended her magical career here. Is that enough for this entity? You fear that that might not. That might not be where it stops. 18:24.800 --> 18:30.120 That's. That's not enough, Ricky. 18:31.080 --> 18:43.930 You shout, you point. No. Are you doing anything in this immediate aftermath, as it's kind of a stunned silence in the room and some murmurs. Are you just standing with your point finger pointing out, or what are you doing? 18:45.210 --> 18:47.450 I think she issued an Invitation, right? 18:48.090 --> 18:49.370 I guess you did invite. 18:49.930 --> 19:04.730 Yeah. I start spewing off about how I'm a magician, how I know magic, how I can juggle like no other. Come on. Come into this body. Yeah. Don't you wonder how, like, the balls don't collide in the air? That's magical magic. 19:04.730 --> 19:06.090 I think it's athleticism. 19:08.170 --> 19:11.050 I mean, beauty's in the eye of the whole beholder. Of course. 19:12.330 --> 20:36.570 Ricky, you freeze in place. What's the matter, Charles? My phone battery is too low to play any games. I thought you had Candy Crush downloaded. I do, but I'm at, like, 13%. What if an important call comes in and my battery is fully drained before I even get a chance to answer? But haven't you heard? Candy Crush is perfect for folks who suffer from clb. Clb? Chronic Low battery. Candy Crush is the ideal game. It is? Yes. With their patented technology, the graphics and sound effects in Candy Crush draw energy from other apps already running in the background. The functions in those apps are reduced in order to make sure that you can put bust sugar with the best of them. And the juice in your batter remains almost completely untouched. Wow. I'm gonna fire up a game right now. You're welcome. And you know what? What's that? I've got a Candy Crush on you. Candy Crush. Give us 1% charge, and we'll give you 100% quality. Yes. People are still playing this game. Ricky, you and I get to create this together. And I'll actually. I'll let you do. I'll let you tell me what it's like when one is possessed. What is Ricky's experience of that like? Is it like nothing? Are you in a. In a place like, where is Ricky right now that's not here in the world? 20:36.810 --> 20:58.280 Yeah. You know the movie Inside out, created by Disney Pixar. How they're inside of the mind is a room with a table. You know, Stranger Things that's on Netflix. How there is a room where 11 goes in the mind, that it has a wet floor and it's all dark. 20:59.160 --> 21:00.040 Is there a table? 21:01.160 --> 21:34.290 Sometimes this is a place in the mind of my body that everything disappears. And I have a clear view to the world outside. But they can't hear me, they can't see, see me that I have no control over. It's not cold, it's not wet, it's not hot. It's a very controlled comfortable. There's no perspiring happening. You're just stuck, not floating. My feet are on the ground of some kind. 21:36.130 --> 21:37.490 And what Kind of table, is it? 21:38.370 --> 21:43.650 If I were to have a table, it would be an L shaped table. And I'll wonder why. Because there's no corners here. 21:44.080 --> 21:53.200 That feels like there would be a sign that says no quarters here, no cutting corners here. Also being John Malkovich, would that be an appropriate also reference? 21:53.440 --> 21:56.000 What about Herman's head, the 90s? 21:57.040 --> 21:58.800 If I'd seen it, absolutely. 21:59.120 --> 22:02.080 Guys, can we get production companies on these references, please? 22:02.640 --> 22:06.200 We're going to be sponsored by all of them, so I see no problem in any of them. 22:06.200 --> 22:07.480 I thought we're being sponsored by Hollywood. 22:07.480 --> 22:09.520 Forever for Hal and Chandler. 22:09.520 --> 22:09.730 You. 22:09.800 --> 22:17.440 You see, Ricky sit down calmly in her chair and she turns to the table and she says, first of all. 22:17.440 --> 22:30.600 I want to apologize to Chandler. I've always liked your magic. And I was trying to think of a magic trick that, you know, handy could do so that he would get in trouble. I would never do that personally, so my apologies. 22:31.320 --> 22:33.560 He turns, Ricky turns to Abby. 22:33.720 --> 22:37.500 Abby, a pleasure. I was always a fan of your magic. 22:37.580 --> 22:39.820 Ricky looks at the table and she. 22:39.820 --> 22:45.740 Says, I don't want any harm to come to you, so I'm just gonna tell you this once. You should leave now. 22:46.140 --> 22:47.660 Are you gonna block the doors and. 22:47.660 --> 22:52.060 Set a fire, Ricky, Your vision comes back to your body. 22:52.940 --> 22:56.380 Holy moly. I should write a book about this. 22:57.500 --> 22:58.460 What would you write? 22:59.500 --> 23:08.650 I've been places you can only dream of going. Let me tell you. Well, dark, empty, whatever furniture I want. 23:08.970 --> 23:16.010 Abby is. Is stunned and she's looking at you. Chandler, then the Ricky, then Chandler, then the Ricky. What do you do? 23:16.250 --> 23:19.490 So remind me how long you've done. Who are you? 23:19.490 --> 23:20.970 What just happened? What was that? 23:21.050 --> 23:22.170 Yeah, who are you? 23:22.490 --> 23:22.970 Wait. 23:23.530 --> 23:26.490 What? Wait, how long have you been gone? 23:27.530 --> 23:33.630 Feels like a blink of an eye, but also like forever. What is it like Hollywood forever? 23:33.950 --> 23:34.350 What? 23:34.510 --> 23:37.950 Have you been in my mind too? I'm sure I. I got news about Hollywood forever. 23:38.030 --> 23:49.950 No, I have not been in your mind. But your face has seemed. I could definitely tell something was happening. I could see you. I couldn't talk to you, you couldn't hear me. And then I just. What did I say? 23:49.950 --> 23:55.630 I need to go. Chandler. I'm sorry. This is. This is too much. And Abby gets up and leaves. 23:56.260 --> 23:56.820 One second. 23:57.140 --> 24:01.300 Oh, no. Back downstairs. 24:02.740 --> 24:15.780 I'm gonna try to casually keep step and, and, and yeah, if, if I can. If she doesn't go into a, like a magician's only area, I'll be like. Just a couple quick questions and then I swear I'll leave you alone. 24:15.780 --> 24:33.820 If, if you Want to follow her to really quickly. Chandler, Hal, if you want to follow her, it looks like she's just headed out the front door maybe to get some air. So if you want to follow her out the palace, you're more than welcome to. And then I'll check in with Chandler and Ricky. You want to follow her? Okay. Yes. So Hal and Abby leave. Chandler and Ricky. What are you doing? 24:34.700 --> 24:40.940 Yeah, I mean, look, we've sat down and started drinking this water, so we're committed. I mean, we can't. You can't abort dinner now. 24:42.140 --> 24:51.810 Fantastic. Fantastic. A very shocked waiter does start delivering the plates to the table, and they point to the empty seats. Are they. 24:51.810 --> 24:52.410 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 24:52.410 --> 24:53.490 Are they coming? Do you know? 24:53.650 --> 24:55.730 They're just going out to make sure their cars are still there. 24:56.050 --> 24:58.690 They start serving. They start serving the meal. 24:59.010 --> 25:03.730 Well, it's still. The other two are going to eat theirs when they come back, so don't. 25:03.890 --> 25:07.010 Okay, but I have a rule. If it gets a little too cold, I'm going to have to eat it. 25:07.170 --> 25:26.140 Hell. Outside, you see Abby just like, make, make, like, take like, you know, 20 steps, just out into the parking lot. You hear kerfuffle from the valet crew outside. Like, did Nick Nichols just reveal. Like, you can hear them chatting about what happened inside. And she looks like she just had to get out of there. What do you do? 25:26.300 --> 25:34.460 I say, yeah, a weird night. I think you're, you're probably right to, to leave for the evening, but yeah. 25:34.620 --> 25:37.100 Ricky said we should leave. That freaked me the hell out. 25:37.900 --> 25:53.700 I, I totally get it. I think it's probably smart to leave. So maybe, you know, wait till tomorrow if you're going to come back. But I did have a weird kind of vision or memory of someone I'm wondering if, you know, named Milo Bubkus. 25:53.700 --> 26:15.090 Roll me. Manipulate someone. That is a five. That's a failure. So Mark experience. And she says, I, I don't, I don't know who that is. I don't know. I just got to, I got to get out of here. I'm really kind of freaking out first because Ricky just kind of threatened me vaguely. And also, I don't. We can't do anything with the real stuff. The real stuff. I, I know. I, I just gotta go. 26:15.170 --> 26:15.610 Yeah. 26:15.610 --> 26:18.330 Okay. You know, call Chandler. Why? 26:18.330 --> 26:21.090 Did he say why did he, did he, did he say something or. 26:21.410 --> 26:23.330 I think he was looking forward to dinner. 26:23.650 --> 26:30.690 Okay. But I gotta go. I, I, I feel really, I feel real. I feel real scared. I'm very scared right now. I do want to see him. But I'm really scared. 26:31.170 --> 26:37.200 I. I hope you have. I hope. It feels totally like a. A new and better night once you get to your next place. 26:37.920 --> 27:01.600 She like does a hesitation, but then she. She gets her keys from the valet crew back inside. Your keeper forgot what you ordered. But Chandler and Ricky, you get the dishes that you requested as appropriate. I believe there's chicken, steak, vegetarian. The dishes are properly laid out. The two are covered for your two tablemates. 27:01.760 --> 27:02.320 What do you do? 27:02.320 --> 27:02.720 This is. 27:02.720 --> 27:14.530 This dish is delicious. This is a delicious dish. It's just what I wanted. Everything about it is perfect and delicious. Don't you agree? Ricky? This is like a date. It's like we're on a date. 27:14.930 --> 27:16.130 Okay. Yes. 27:16.130 --> 27:18.930 There's just the two of us and there's a candle on the table. 27:21.330 --> 27:26.210 Will you just answer the question? What did I say when I was possessed? 27:26.530 --> 27:34.470 You were talking a lot about Wayfair and stuff you wanted to order from there. 27:37.350 --> 27:37.910 Yeah. 27:38.470 --> 27:45.430 Something about a coffee table and a credenza and like a 70 inch long entertainment system. 27:45.910 --> 27:56.750 Okay. Okay. I guess we're gonna get new furniture when we're back home. And that's it. Because Abby was pretty scared she'd immediately. 27:56.750 --> 28:08.410 You don't remember anything about her? That's kind of pointless. And hey, maybe I could use my third eye to see what you saw. I don't know. I'm just talking. 28:08.570 --> 28:11.050 Okay. But I feel like myself right now. Are you? 28:11.050 --> 28:11.290 Maybe. 28:11.290 --> 28:12.410 But trying to impress me? 28:12.490 --> 28:12.850 Maybe. 28:12.850 --> 28:27.650 But that's just skills. That's just bonus on top of trying to find out. Maybe I could see what you saw because maybe those memories are still in your brain. They're just not active. You know how scientists are flipping genes on and off these days like that. It's got to turn those memories on. 28:28.850 --> 28:32.290 Do they do to go boxes. Can we take these meals to go? 28:32.370 --> 28:33.130 You take it. 28:33.130 --> 28:33.730 Two bites. 28:34.290 --> 28:36.530 I am full. Let me be full. 28:36.610 --> 28:39.730 The waiter comes back. Did you want. You said you want a to go back. 28:40.610 --> 28:43.050 All of these. All of these. He's done. 28:43.050 --> 28:43.330 Also. 28:43.730 --> 28:44.930 We want all of this to go. 28:44.930 --> 28:52.770 Sure. And then go back to retrieve cartons. Hal, you're outside by yourself at the moment. What are you doing? Where do you want to go next? Is. 28:54.850 --> 28:55.330 Hugo. 28:56.130 --> 28:58.130 Yeah, Hugo's out there with the rest of the crew. Yeah. 28:58.690 --> 29:05.170 I'm gonna walk up to wherever he is, whether he's with people or not and I'm gonna say, hey, Hugo. 29:05.410 --> 29:06.210 Yeah. What's going on? 29:06.210 --> 29:09.650 Question. Does the name Milo Bumpkiss mean anything to you? 29:10.770 --> 29:13.650 Sounds vaguely Familiar? Why? Is he a friend of yours? 29:14.290 --> 29:16.210 I don't think so, but I'm not totally sure. 29:16.450 --> 29:17.330 I don't think so. 29:17.980 --> 29:18.900 Our cars are still here, right? 29:18.900 --> 29:19.980 Yeah. Are you taking off? 29:20.380 --> 29:25.660 Oh, no, thank you. I'm gonna go see if I can get any of their. Either of their phones from. 29:29.100 --> 30:23.970 Before. I have you roll luck. I need you to observe. It's not like I was gonna make you roll something. But you do see that, not just Abby. Some people are starting to leave early. Some people are just kind of. You know, that was. That was weird that Nick Nichols revealed her magic. So some people you do see are leaving early. You approach Janice. Roll luck for me. Which in our game is your luck half run down. So it's a plus three. So 2D six plus three. And my. As a reminder, hunters, you have luck. Now, I know luck has issues, but it does give you an automatic success if you use a point of luck. That's what luck does. So just keep that in mind. If something really important comes up and you really want to do a roll of 12, you would use a point of luck to get that 12. Oh, you rolled a nine. Janice says. I. I'm just really busy right now. Could you just come back in just a few moments? People are grabbing their coats. I. I'll have it ready for you. 30:24.370 --> 30:28.690 Oh, sure. Tip Janice. Probably everybody. Okay. 30:28.690 --> 30:38.690 Okay, so like in the next moment or two, you can go back and Janice will have a phone to. Our phone or phones to hand you. You're. The three of you are upstairs. What's next? Where to? 30:39.110 --> 30:40.070 What happened to my dinner? 30:40.230 --> 30:42.270 I packed it to go, but I don't want. 30:42.270 --> 30:42.910 I want it now. 30:42.910 --> 30:44.590 You get no platter and no fancy. 30:44.590 --> 30:51.430 Cover here out of a. Yeah, like a hobo looking at magic or something. 30:51.830 --> 31:00.070 I believe we talked about hobos earlier, and they're totally okay here. There's. If anything, we're all hobos right now. 31:00.230 --> 31:00.750 Ugh. 31:00.750 --> 31:01.190 Yeah. 31:01.430 --> 31:03.990 Eating out of these plastic coated cartons. 31:03.990 --> 31:08.560 In the fanciest establishment in Hollywood. What a life, huh? 31:10.880 --> 31:11.320 You're right. 31:11.320 --> 31:17.680 I do feel like a squatter. Listen, did you guys find anything out about Myla Bumpkus? I don't think I told you about it. 31:17.760 --> 31:18.480 Who's that? 31:18.560 --> 31:20.080 I just found out that there's. 31:20.160 --> 31:21.120 That's what I want to know. 31:21.120 --> 31:22.280 Somebody that we don't know about. 31:22.280 --> 31:24.080 Well, this is the first I've heard about it. 31:24.800 --> 31:36.980 Yeah, well, we should all be finding out more about this person that we've just found out about. I got a distinct vision of this person's Grave when Nick was doing her. Big mistake. 31:37.220 --> 31:40.420 And what did the grave. What did the grave tell you? 31:40.580 --> 31:54.100 Well, the grave told me this person is most likely deeply involved. There either is the possessing spirit or brought it about. I think they have a tombstone that says being part of the guild does not make or break a magician. Milo was a magician. 31:54.100 --> 32:03.490 Wait a minute. Milo was a magician? If he was a magician, then I should know who he is. He should have his picture up on the wall here. But yet there's no. 32:03.730 --> 32:04.530 Let's go look. 32:05.250 --> 32:07.490 And I definitely don't know who he is in a picture. 32:07.730 --> 32:11.570 Chandler, are there any really quickly. Chandler, roll me investigate a mystery. 32:11.810 --> 32:17.730 Let me investigate a mystery. That's for me to know and for you to find out. 32:18.690 --> 32:43.570 That is a 12. That is a full success. So that is a hold two. So if you're wondering why. Why Keeper. Why did you ask me that? So as you were you. You said you don't see a picture on the wall of Milo. So on that train of thought, you get a hold to what happened here. What sort of creature is it? What can it do? What can hurt it? Where did it go? What was it going to do? What was it going to do? What is being concealed here in the mystery that is Milo Bupkis. 32:44.050 --> 32:44.930 What happened here? 32:45.090 --> 33:00.410 What happened here? So I'm going to connect the dots that you laid out perfectly. You intuit well. Milo knew my trick. Milo knew Abby. I don't see their photo. Milo probably auditioned and didn't get to join the guild. 33:02.090 --> 33:03.290 That would explain a lot. 33:03.690 --> 33:21.210 And it's possible he. It's possible he saw your show like he was going to. Captain Henny was going to do your trick. So Milo was probably someone who familiar with Chandler. No last name that we know. You do have a hold left. So you have another question for me, if you'd like. 33:22.130 --> 33:49.580 Okay. Well, it sounds like we've identified who the possessor is and more or less what their motive is. They just felt like. Right. They just felt like they got the shaft, which happens all the time. But most magicians just realize that they suck and they move on to office jobs. So I guess we've got all that information. So maybe we just need to know. Where did it go? 33:49.740 --> 34:05.420 Where did it go? I love that. Something about improvisers. But where did it go? You suspect? It's hit four of the five council members so far. There's one left. Your favorite person in the guild. 34:06.940 --> 34:07.980 The Panino. 34:08.220 --> 34:09.420 The bread man himself. 34:09.500 --> 34:14.300 The master of malt. The crustless hero. The crummiest Crete. 34:14.530 --> 34:15.730 The Baron of Baguettes. 34:16.930 --> 34:23.290 And so cheesy. Hey, Ricky. 34:23.290 --> 34:24.770 That's a point in his favor, I guess. 34:25.330 --> 34:26.450 The Duke of Doe. 34:26.850 --> 34:27.410 Sorry. 34:27.810 --> 34:29.250 Look, yes. 34:29.650 --> 34:53.420 Now might be your opportunity to go out with Panini, if you still want to, for investigatory purposes only. Because you might be our way into capturing this ghost demon entity. Can it be all of them or is it one or the other? I don't know. 34:55.500 --> 34:56.299 I don't know. 34:57.180 --> 35:00.700 Yeah, I mean, I'm always down to try a date. So let's do it. 35:01.900 --> 35:13.020 I'm gonna do some more poking around about what Milo might have done on or before his death. But I should be up soon with one or both of your phones. 35:13.420 --> 35:14.700 Yeah, I forgot I had a phone. 35:14.700 --> 35:15.820 Let's make sure our phones are cool. 35:15.900 --> 35:16.300 Great. 35:17.020 --> 35:17.980 Oh, can I have it? 35:18.220 --> 35:31.500 No, no, no. I. I do believe in this. This year we're gonna need it. So I'll take my phone as soon as you can get that for me. Thank you. Also, when you're investigating, can you see if there's a yearbook? Does the Magic palace do any yearbooks? 35:31.740 --> 35:32.140 Well. 35:32.140 --> 35:33.180 Or anything like that? 35:33.180 --> 36:08.940 Probably not a physical one. I'm sure that there's a record. Yeah, they're all mental. There's. You just remember who's. Who is in the class. Actually, I think that system in the library, there should be a. I mean, like I said, I don't know if it's a yearbook. I don't know if it's annual, like a traditional high school yearbook, but there would be. Maybe it's a biannual or maybe it's every other annual. Could be quarterly. I'm sure that there's got to be a record of every magician. I don't know how often they update it. That's the thing. 36:09.260 --> 36:10.700 Am I allowed in the library? 36:10.940 --> 36:13.980 No. But I am, because I've got this pin. 36:15.740 --> 36:18.460 Hal, what were the dates on the tombstone? 36:19.020 --> 36:19.740 They were recent. 36:19.980 --> 36:20.700 Both of them. 36:20.860 --> 36:27.100 Okay, so maybe the staff also knows about Milo. Okay, great. 36:27.570 --> 36:29.170 Wait. How old was Milo? 36:29.410 --> 36:37.490 I got the distinct impression he was of age to drink or be drafted. But not exceptionally aged. 36:37.730 --> 36:45.130 Okay. I was gonna say. I mean, if he was like 8 years old. I mean, that right there is why you would get turned away from the. From the palace. 36:45.130 --> 36:55.020 I don't think so. I. I will say it is strange, though, because my. My. My level of detail with all the rest is. Is amazing. I know where the line breaks. 36:55.020 --> 37:04.380 Where the. What are you talking about? Aiden says as he approaches your table. I mean, did you see that? I'm a fan of Nick Nichols work. I had no idea that she was a triplet. 37:08.140 --> 37:09.820 We shouldn't leap to conclusions, right? 37:09.820 --> 37:14.300 We just saw they all had the same outfit on. Who could be part of or wait a minute. Wait. 37:14.300 --> 37:14.660 Yeah. 37:14.660 --> 37:16.380 Are you telling me that's part of the trick too? 37:18.870 --> 37:23.430 Couldn't it be? Wouldn't that be a mind. How was the dinner? I didn't get any of it. 37:23.670 --> 37:27.190 Oh, you should have gotten your dinner. Did you pay for your dinner? You should have gotten your dinner. 37:27.430 --> 37:31.030 Oh, I'm not paying. I didn't and I won't. But I did. I did order it. 37:31.350 --> 37:32.230 I walk away. 37:35.750 --> 37:41.710 I guess your friend's taken off. I listen. I'll see you later, bud. Right? He points at you. 37:41.710 --> 37:43.030 Hal by bud. 37:43.110 --> 37:43.750 Bye, buds. 37:43.750 --> 37:44.350 Later, bud. 37:44.350 --> 37:56.060 And Aiden walks off with a young woman behind him as they go back downstairs to enjoy the rest of the night. Ricky, you. You left ahead of the other two. Where are you headed with the leftovers? 37:56.060 --> 37:57.420 With the leftovers, apparently. 37:57.580 --> 37:59.700 Or. Or the pack, which would be in. 37:59.700 --> 38:03.540 A bag with howl's packed dinner and Abby's. 38:03.540 --> 38:04.300 Let's not forget. 38:06.220 --> 38:09.900 Every time I walk past, somebody in the bag hits them. I do apologize. 38:09.900 --> 38:12.550 And it's hitting every button. Everyone's shining. 38:12.780 --> 38:31.340 Yes, I. As I walk, I. I go up and down the different stairwells, asking anybody if they know where the Greek panini is and if they could help guide me in the correct direction because they keep telling me a theater room and I don't know where it is. 38:31.580 --> 39:09.040 I will let you roll. What? I want to have you roll here because someone wouldn't know. Roll me. Roll me. Act under pressure. I don't use that move enough as other games do. So let's just call this act under pressure because nothing really fits. But I want you. So where we act under pressure to like not ups. How about this? To not hit upset someone who may know the answer with a bag, you're hitting with their shin. That's my justification for this role. Oh, that's a failure. That's a five. So I get to do something I haven't been able to do yet. Ricky, you're like wandering through the. Wandering through the. You know, up and down the stairs like there's people milling about. That's a failure. You rolled a five, so be sure you mark experience. Did you level up? 39:09.440 --> 39:14.080 I am scrolling. I did Great. 39:14.560 --> 39:53.610 We should do that right now. Do you have something in mind you can always just do the plus one to like you have options to. Well, let me take you through it since Listeners may be also doing this with us. You could add a plus one to your charm, plus one to your cool, plus one to sharp, plus one to tough. You could take another gumshoe move. I didn't know you had this, Ricky. You can gain a haven, Ricky. Your office, perhaps, like the expert, with two options. And we can get into the details of that after our session. But basically, the haven. And you can tell me what that looks like. It could be your current apartment, or it could be another location that becomes, like, the place where you all get your have your stuff, like, your. Like, your hideout, you know? 39:54.250 --> 39:56.570 So it probably shouldn't be Precinct 17. 39:57.530 --> 40:14.780 It can be Precinct 17. We just have to come up with the narrative reason why that that's the place you pick. But you get to pick what it is. You can add four additional or new contacts for Naked City and add an extra harm box on the dying side, which is interesting. You get a little tougher, so you have some options there. 40:14.780 --> 40:17.500 Wow. So I could have up to eight contacts. 40:17.500 --> 40:20.460 You correct? Well, the. The categories. Yeah. 40:20.620 --> 40:22.860 How much more naked can a city get? 40:22.940 --> 40:23.820 Pretty naked. 40:25.260 --> 40:38.820 Well, okay, I have to figure this out. I do have a negative one in cool. Okay, but how much do I use cool? 40:39.300 --> 40:40.900 Well, you just failed it right now. 40:43.140 --> 40:47.300 I'm gonna give myself. I'm gonna get myself to zero with cool. 40:47.620 --> 40:50.740 Great. So you can click the box there. 40:51.380 --> 40:51.900 Okay. 40:51.900 --> 41:33.280 See that on your sheet on improvements. So it'll add plus one to that. Fantastic. So on a five, something happens. You're wandering through the hallways. You suddenly feel like yourself. Get, like, pushed or moved. And you're in one of the rooms, one of the magic rooms. This is on the opposite side of where. You may not know this, but Hal and Chandler would. It's another room where magic is done. And in the room on the stage is the Great Panini. And you're in the room now, Ricky. You just get, like, transported there. And the great Panini says to you, I told your friends to leave. You try that. And he starts saying words. And then appearing out of a portal appears a monster. 41:33.520 --> 41:35.040 This isn't the date I expected.
