foreign well I've gotten notice that um corenta may be late if at all let me know that Haas is busy while we play for time and see if uh either the two might make an appearance before we actually officially start uh what if any are the questions suggestions big boy big old boy he uh he did right he like he [ __ ] he gone right he he straight up pile of Ash in the bottom of five right one way to find out for sure saw that coming I have a question yeah is Jimmy's fabulous a lot yes okay aha so they just caught it all right oh no oh we probably have to do some kind of a sleeve to try to find our weapons for the server Jimmy has his weapons oh yeah look at you oh maybe it should have been a bit more a sneaky like Jim was take to be honest I felt like okay cool Jimmy's gonna be our East in the hole and then that uh yeah yeah they gotta start yeah oh they said like Jimmy whoops it's just a simple reply whoops well I'd like to think that it was a bit of a surprise to think that um the bullfrog would so carelessly callously destroy one of your uh one of your number one of your fellowship of the Frog oh that's good to know well it's good for someone you just you still have a relatively angry Hornet it's a while after while Jimmy himself may be purposely okay for every intents and purposes everyone else it may not be well that sounds like a them problem but it is so chat sounds like we may not have horse that sounds like text chat might be texture horse well having and having are often two separate things horses with you in body and mind and spirit you just go to Ross people except yeah oh that's right doesn't he go back to work tonight on the Sunday that's Raw yeah um Whatchamacallit I will say we have issues with our radios like it just keeps on cutting in and out and everything oh yeah do you like the movies outside and um and then I was trying to communicate you know with uh you know with my department of like you know hey this is all secure this is fine this is this that and the other but the radio kept cutting in and out so they were just they actually got worried like did she get jumped by injury out there or like hey what's your status we do have a homeless guy named Andrew um it's quite interesting he is a charismatic homeless guy where uh yeah it's um if he can actually make sense he would be really good at Tick Tock I mean sorry at a TED Talk sure maybe you can take talk like he'd be good at that he can just be a nonsense and it's like yeah this is what we deal with on a daily basis thank you excuse me are you in a sense basically forced to share space with the homeless even though that they are like a menace to your property it's like oh they destroyed your your tree that you had yeah it's fun to forget it oh he's uh running around with the machete uh while your kids are you know they're kind of out and about oh uh sounds like a damn problem uh there you go all right oh you want me to arrest the guy for you know [ __ ] like he's about to assault somebody with a machete no no it's fine oh you want to find him for the junk that he has everywhere well you see that's his stuff and it shut up so it's like you're having quite the time with the houseless individuals in your area I wish all the luck you need dear I wish all the luck you need we do and I probably should mute that because that's going to get a problem if I can figure out which server that is beautiful Waheed Gallery a gallery and then I put that I just hate when you just have too many servers that you have and you figure out which one is where it's always fun I put them in files um it makes it easier for me like to separate what servers are what like oh these are the ones that stream oh these are the ones that I'm personally involved in oh these are the ones that are quite close to me let's just do that and then that no it's good all right if you do it but you my friend there they are all right so that should be just about all of them and we are fastly approaching up on 18 after the hour well half is an inch Reserve but the the player not the character and besides um items of Discovery the floor is yours in regards to questions and suggestions and the like while I take a pain pill really quickly oh man I've been fighting and I didn't behave correctly today oh what did you do um I lived richly in regards to what I took in today what I ate and drank and I probably shouldn't have hey paperwork um it initially wasn't that bad it was just a nice big thick uh tuna steak with artisanal rice and a cream sauce um but that combined with because it was cooked in avocado oil but that combined with um a nice big thick Avocado Burger nice tomato onion a uh choppy old style old-fashioned mustard aioli with a heaping helping of onion rings and beef bites which are literally just fried pulled beef inside of these little small Hush Puppy size crispy doughed rolls um yeah I hope I look already just thinking about it and then I had a um small small a very small very small but still I had it and then I shouldn't a strawberry uh Frosty with a huge um Vanilla Coke and I completely fell off my average daily diet and so speaking of background phase as far as such things go we are comfortably past our hard start the question that matters most in this beginning this warm-up is what questions suggestions hypotheses and Corners would we like to round off before diving in both feet and holding on for dear life so let me get this straight we went through a bunch of doors that were all locked behind us by that old fellow with the ballpark is still there and hasn't done anything so far and all frog has fallen through the floor potentially into fire and there's fire above us as well yes and while we didn't see the house on fire while we ended from almost the moment we entered and it was getting hot yes like as stated during that uh entry portion most of you all who have control of your over your thermostat or exist in a place that is provided with modern Heating and Cooling for comfort's sake keep it around 95 degrees Fahrenheit around 90 to 96 you all keep it nice and warm which helps you all feel or hide the fact that you are not actively actually alive above that even Kendrick begin to notice maybe that's a bit much bend them from the moment that you've all walked in it started at about 115 120 degrees inside the building and it's been going up in small increments the entire time now none of you are or were in life firefighters or Personnel but there's a ignition point for everything in the house for everything in Modern Heating and Cooling there is an ignition point for all the materials that are used to build a home this home was built before those things were codified into existence this home was built before the Advent of environmentally relatively friendly Heating and Cooling practices this home was built before the idea of central AC where the Hearth set the temperature for the home the fireplace and the center of the of the house and the kitchen yeah all of those things all the modern conveniences have been added to this home without changing any of the material that was used to build it so easily within a few degrees you were above the set point or the ignition point for most of the things inside the walls hmm that sounds precarious yep um the doors are made out of wood they were locked behind us as well presumably the locks on our side but we'd probably also need to get the key off of the old dude we um unless they're dead bolts we hear Calloway screaming away down there or is the Roar of the fire too much there is a royal volume to the flames and the realization that you've all been inside of an oven for those of you who rode at and were made aware are wary of the real fact that you all were in a pot where the temperature had been being increased incrementally the entire time that action of recognition that action of understanding one of the tantamount Testaments and facts of the world is even in action is an action something to hold true and know that if someone's not doing something that is a choice of not doing something and that is an actual action use what you learn act on what you believe and well stay in the moment and I will be back go on uh oh no I just was thinking to myself that um once Oliver becomes aware that he is in a burning building uh Calloway's current condition and Calloway's uh soon to be future can go [ __ ] itself Oliver is not composed enough to give a [ __ ] about Calloway and to be honest there's there's not many Kindred who whilst in a burning building would be composed enough to give a [ __ ] about anyone but themselves composure 3 or higher would be the standard need minimum for that would composure for being right at the point where you can actually hmm the building is burning I think I should remove myself and those that I care about From This Moment instead of oh just like you know uh Oliver's first and almost immediate action is going to be to try and get the [ __ ] out of here that's uh yeah that's uh Vanessa's thought as well and she's also gonna try to help a Kannitha too like on her way out through doors Jimmy would be lunging for his um that has his families in it and then tear tearing him out of it him in his mouth to keep him away from the flames excellent so we have our we have our decisions well in hand so before we dive fully in one more question yes are there any windows noted windows are at risk so while they were part of the building initially a lot of the windows have themselves been well skewered there are partitions and wood screens and the light so that outside it appears as if there is something always happening inside it always seems as if there's lights moving and what have you but it's all theater the windows are sealed to prevent well accidental immolation very hard to say I have you you name a villain hold it takes is a ray of sunshine to kill you amongst other things the bullfrog is as evidence not as dumb as he most people would immediately believe we live in a very vain culture and that's not something that's just simply discovered as of late there's a vanity to society and people immediately begin marking off another person's intelligence based on how attractive they are the bullfrog is aware of this and uses it to their own ends or has used it to their own ends people automatically assume the large fellow is the Dullard people automatically assume someone from a family such as his is clearly you know inbred and well behind the times oh he's heard all of the jokes in fact he's started some of them purposefully to disarm others but he's a smart individual he keeps his fingers on the pulse of what's Happening he has pawns and Tin Jews throughout the community or had or as the case may actually end up being which is one of the many reasons why the bareness was insistent on utilizing his Network or destroying it so that no one else might and so once more with a Feeling without any further adoing until we don't I'd like to thank you for your time your effort and your energy is leading us to this moment this Grand unveiling of well the inaugural twofer of the coast I'm your Storyteller your host your number one fan nobody and this is without a shadow of a doubt Coast after dark path of stone and Pebbles part two and we pick up Men's on scene as they say in certain portions of Hollywood and Hollywood situations it means we are already in the middle of where we left these characters so we left this codery of convenience the estate the Calloway a state that they've entered and where they've been given in treaties where some of the less than Humane aspects of Oliver and horse's past has reared its less than beautiful head the immense gargantuan bullfrog being made evident to those who had not had the pleasure of his presence and the Roaring flames of the estate now to put it in a proper perspective the Calloway estate and the grounds have been as part of the city and cities as the red mud all around it just like Mississippi is known for its red clay foundations the Calloways have been parred of the areas is the founding of the area they are embedded like ticks a parasitic blood sucking facet of life there are rumors and rumors of rumors being real power knowing which ear to whisper into knowing whose secret belonged to whom well you could change the fate of entire families could change the fate of entire immortalities and the bullfrog is the penultimate form an undying Immortal thing sitting at the center of a web that stretches across the entirety of the coast manner the physical side a landmark that you've entered into real Mississippi history it's often photograph from a distance or someone tours the ground with drones or in person with paid tours sometimes a person here and there will get lost and maybe never be seen again but no one pays attention to that sort of thing after all you shouldn't go poking around other people's closets if you don't expect to get trapped inside of it blind eyes are turned but it very much is an institution amongst mississippians and the codery is inside the prime Calloway Mansion the prime Calloway Manor as the building around them has erupted in flames and there's part of them that has a sense of self-preservation a part of them that is insanely seeking Escape the floor a huge hole within it Flames looking up from beneath it let the guy that know that the Flames are in fact all around where they are choice of actions choice of decisions and Hell choice of where to plant one's feed it's very important so we'll begin in alphabetical order as to actions and steps taken if any well as I said Jimmy would rush over and remove his family from the cage um there's a rumored bearing at the moment isn't on fire yet though is it it is not well then before telling him to seek Refuge uh Jimmy will get him to scout the edge of the hole to see if he can see the large one we've got a large one but in his chittering bug language indeed which I won't attempt to emulate it's corpulence okay well that would require a good deal of work because unlike the Dead the living have a a reason to fear the fire that well there's a little more pressing because unlike yet Kindred death for them is in fact death like it's over the party's done there's no coming back for it like there's no I haven't already died and survived it once that means the end of most of them she doesn't want to do it Jimmy's not going to force him he's already been captured and had a bit of bed run already so it'll just be like well all right let's [ __ ] get out of here one ear buzzing and cooking and making all the correct motions with a slight accent your accent is a little different than his but you guys look past such things because well you know communication is is important how you communicate not so much so long as you do and so there's that built up already since the respect for one another as it's buzzing back and doing Bobs and weaves communicate because it communicates like all other wasp and Apiaries with its full body the tilting of the head as the mandibles move back and forth and the buzzing emits from it from the wings moving as quickly or slower to get across syntax and how it's delivered in tone and Jimmy mimicking that as they go back and forth in a matter of seconds while that's happening several things has always happened at once during moments of stress uh Jimmy is communicating with their friend associate servant false drops the knives that the bullfrog had given them frog and goes into the hole after him [ __ ] [ __ ] oh damn you call the uh the boss back into the safety of his mouth so that he doesn't get burnt and then you snoring leap to follow Hoss thank you oh man uh yeah so like I would have to roll rock check to jump down there wouldn't I yeah you are aware of what fire means you have through your past no explicitly how damaging fire is if you failed dances with your former group an association lets you know exactly that while pain don't hurt fire sure as hell does really do but homie just images of the mouth of Mordor oh [ __ ] with a with a with a result of three would my with my brotherly bond be able to kick in here like I'm trying to figure out whether or not I can even reasonably buy the character's own personality justify going in I need to roll her up track as well which means never actually experienced five despite the fact that he looks like he has exactly he has never experienced it his Beast is kicking his ass as he's already met weep but it's a little sleep for that all right I'm just gonna try and guarantee us a way up and uh just you know so once I see that those two [ __ ] idiots dive down in there just uh turn the can of uh you can get that dog that's when yeah Vanessa will say you know I will sure try and um she will like have like a running start and like you know charge towards the door since you know it blocked um and um um yeah I I don't have any pick locking tools and um while we're here I'll just collect a knife off the table in case I need to stab somebody before I get my my knives back uh if the initial charge doesn't work I'm thinking of seeing if I seeing if I can claw my way through using my feral claws so no boob I know you narrated the upstairs being on fire too right we've yet to see that correct all right all I know is there's this weird [ __ ] hole in the ground and it's full of fire and I'm locked in this room yeah all right well whether or not Kenneth I can get that door open I guess is gonna figure out whether or not I have to go into the [ __ ] mouth of the demon all right that being the case Moment of Truth Vanessa as you charge the door to literally use your head would you be so kind to go ahead and roam your strength and brawl strength involved copy that uh and since this is a scary situation I might actually surge this so all right so I'll just uh brows oh wow I am not hungry okay uh make sure to do this in live play dice right um where's quite nice to upsies okay um said strengthen brawl yes uh what's the difficulty or yeah or whatever as high as you possibly can oh a good standard or good practice to put into place is always think that three is a complete success there are certain things that shouldn't happen humans should not ever know that Kindred exists one should never try to open a security door with one's head and the security door should not give away as if you were a chess burster in the aliens movie moment with fire roaring and whispering to the fear in every Kindred in presence it does just that Vanessa tears through the door as if she is in fact the Kool-Aid man and every mascot rode into one sending wood and shrapnel flying five six ten feet further from her as there is a virtual person-sized hole in the door from the dining room the banquet hall where you all are into the Hall which only as you are not being led through do you realize that the hall isn't really a hall it's a room unto itself does it also have a locked security door on the other end there's several doors in the room several doors along the hall and because of the left right left up and down of this of the leading you from the sitting room at the front portion of the manor to here what was the chance that you all remembered exactly which steps you were taking because you were guided alone I'll just um I'll try the nearest door is it is it locked into as solid as the uh the door that we just came through here's a question uh the nearest door are you going straight down the space the room to the next door are you taking the right or the left take the right to the right opening the door you are frustrated and not frustrated in the way that makes you think oh well [ __ ] this [ __ ] I'm out but frustrated in the way of oh [ __ ] when fire is Raging the one the last thing you want to see is a room filled with shelves of very combustible books and papers and that's exactly what happens as you open the nearest door there are boxes upon boxes of old Ledger entries you can tell because some of the pages are yellowed and hanging over the edge of the Box not yellow because they were dyed yellow like modern legal Pad but yellow from age meaning that if you even so much has had an actual living hot breath on those pages there was a chance of it igniting the shell is filled with leather-bound tomes of all manner of size and colors covered in the dust of well dead flesh because that is what dust is made out of flaked off slawed off skin and realizing that you've just opened or added fuel to the fire raging elsewhere in the building is one of those most frustrating moments possible and it is literally an oh [ __ ] what did I do because you can feel the heat easing and rushing around you filling the space the heat from beneath you where the fire is Raging the heat from the fire above this floor and well the heat all that hot expected in breath gotcha I'm just screaming this one's bust try the other door I'm gonna try the one straight ahead um slammed the door shut and move on um wait and Oliver chose which door first yeah yeah the one on the left it was the one on the left okay I know I chose the one on the right I told you to choose the door on the left oh you told Vanessa to go okay so yeah Vanessa's gonna go towards the the left door then that one's locked right so I guess yeah but no it is not in fact locked you you open the door and there's no reason for a kindred anywhere in the world to need such firing it is a waste you see pots and pans that are worth more than some people's entire assistances huge copper things where you can actually put the entirety of a human body inside of you so much a cutting board made out of marble that clearly was handcrafted a counter long enough to well conduct an autopsy on the tiled floor with drains built into it with flames licking through the stainless steel that you can see and a stove large enough that you can actually cook an entire steer a full-fledged 1600 pound cow at one time on on the far side of the room is a huge broiling barbecue grill pit inside the building and just past that is a huge floor to ceiling glass door glass door outside oh uh I yell out to everyone um you know to me those two [ __ ] just Rambo well I bet stable to Oliver and Kannitha uh you know hey there's a glass door over here it leads out to the Garden oh I get it open I'll start heading my way over to her yeah um locked or unlocked it is locked is this like that bulletproof glass one way to find out um there's the spirit she's gonna charge the door oh my God don't bounce off of it I was a young child I was running through the [ __ ] mall ahead of my parents couldn't wait to get back to the car and head home and they had a glass [ __ ] wall I slammed into it and flew back like three feet and my mom was laughing the people around us were laughing and I had no idea what the [ __ ] happened and uh what should I call it and at this point have a a kid Vanessa can hear the two voices of her sire and her best friend oh we got a GTFO Christmas all right so here we go ahead give that strength and brawl a nice lovely roll Tip Tap my successes well it's glass but yeah you know you can use a willpower and get more success potentially you do have exactly three failures to re-roll so that's an extra three dice onto your pool effectively I'll spend one usually there we go oh honestly Vanessa I just advocate for people lowering their willpower so that when they gotta make the frenzy check it's funnier you want to know how much more work it is the reality of what that literally means in most modern movies somewhere between 2000 and present there's always at least one scene of someone or something bursting through whether that's a crowd of people being chased by faceless enemies whether that's a door barging into a room to find their friend or associate in the most embarrassing of situations with that X or soon to be X whether it is accidentally depositing bits of themselves into the fertilization of their best friend dropping a wall of Saved specimens or the like there is always that moment of someone bursting through and shattering something irrevocably this is exactly what Vanessa does there is a if she squeals and Roars charging the door did it worked before it'll work again and while most things can't be proven in that manner and what happened before there's no bearing on the present save as educational reason to not be there but that surprised that her decision to do so is 100 accurately true all of the money wasted on you've shielded led by in class means nothing to the unbridled Fury of a kangaroo determined to not be where there was fire the unsettling fact and the truth is she's free if she gets a chance to see the beauty of the Flames that it can no longer lick and laugh hard she has also created a breeze hey oh boy oh boy path of which fresh air and oxygen can be added to all of those lovely flames in that building not dead in her present mind or State of Affairs does that really even Factor because she's outside of the building so [ __ ] [ __ ] hey guys I'm out come on what is the current condition of Jimmy and horse oh yeah how is flame broil Jimmy doing we're getting there we're getting there we're only two actions further from when the Frog the bullfrog himself fell through his floor there's some embarrassment there even Dead Fall in front of people that or bees you consider you at best almost here equal and worse a snack there's a bit of Pride on the line in such situations normally for individuals like the bullfrog those things don't really matter pride is a tool to be used against others to poke others to nudge them in the right way of doing business that is most favorable for yourself Pride goes before a fall unfortunately even with the Cutthroat realization that all of your emotions are just tools for you to be manipulated by there is a wash of swelled pride and vanity because there is very few opportunities in this world where someone would put themselves on the line for anyone else Everyone likes to believe that if my children were on the line if my mother was on the line if my brother was on the line everyone believes that in those big moments they'd rise to the occasion they sacrifice themselves in a heartbeat they do whatever it takes that is usually never the case usually the loudest proponent of support it is the first to abandon the cause usually the one who makes such large promises out loud rarely ever follows through on them rarely ever Rises to that level of support especially as in every way every day small betrayals have become the norm the indirect attack the Shaded hand holding Blaze to assassinate someone else's character instead of saying I find that idiot frustrating and hashing things out directly it is there's nothing wrong with him it's just well you know no no one knows but you but you have already effectively poisoned the well those attacks are constant and consistent so anyone willing to put themselves on the line in support of another is incredible and Jimmy land in the literal Ring of Fire as everything below this main floor is a flame causes blood tears to begin leaking and roiling over the heavy jowls of the bullfrog's face would have caused all sorts of damage because the fall was one of 12 plus feet unprepared and with his mass and with his weight there was nothing to do but break everything luckily he is unfortunately quite dead he is relatively impervious to such a small fall the only thing affected it is relatively non-existent Pride and as he's lifting himself and trying to fight off the full weight of the fear that is ripping every facet of his heart like Superman or some angel from on high s and Jimmy appear in the only bit of Salvation the only bit of non-damaging energy about him and his sin like angels to rescue him to help him to burn with him for the first time in 40 years stunned with a surprise for the first time in 40 years someone not just someone two other Kindred have surprised him to the point of open mouth silence there's a real painful realization that somewhere out there in the night there are individuals willing to be not only truer than their word but to live by some principle that would have them put their existence on the line unlike the motors around us these idiots are putting their immortality on the line who are they and while I roll secretly for Haas Jimmy speaking around the wasp in his mouth Jimmy will Mumble towards bullfrog it's come with this cousin which is the phone here or leave I was told that believingly there too wasn't an option and physics and then uh getting uncomfortably close to the bullfrogs Jimmy will try to lift his heavy bulk and use a combination of rails and prowess to soaringly back out of the hole with bullfrog hold up real quick there is something to be taken care of ahead of that nobody there is but we're gonna roll we're gonna make this all One Singular solitary role we're gonna do a huge cinematic wipe as to what happens next we're going to fade to darkest that beautifully poignant speech stumbling around the wasp in his mouth the muscles bulging as he channels that dark energy into his limbs he channels the Beast and everything he holds dear in that moment he and Haas working together you will be able to be rolling for the both of you all and because of the very real fear gripping your heart because of the Beast because of the very precarious situation and the bulk of the bullfrog you two will be rolling you'll get a plus one but you'll be rolling your strength your Athletics and you need to have a combined total of successes of Hoss's Humanity and I also use prowess yes and I also results yes as I'll use prowess which should give me an extra two and Pharrell's uh hunger increases but I roused yeah you don't have to worry about anything so afterwards but that's fine um that should give me nine dice that's a very good thing because you need a a five plus one total success a five for a relative success and anything less than that well there's going to be some burnt tootsies and a monstrous freak out all at once so do me a favor go ahead give that a quick fashionable roll let's see where Haas and Jimmy find themselves with the fire encroaching on everything they can see pulling at them and looking at them and laughing at them jumping at them as if they could the fire self can make them even more afraid where do they end up I don't know about Hoss's role but Jimmy uh succeeded by margin of three and that gives you three successes you didn't put a difficulty but it's just fine uh your total was hosta's Humanity which is a five um the fires are in fact too much you received a plus one because of us yeah I can re-roll all right let's see what happens it will put me into mental oh oh and I'm in mental impairment it's okay okay now we just need is a minister on the server and they'll be able to stay in all that away not quite but there's a misser on the server um excuse me whoops wrong one wrong one like that nice with no good deed goes unpunished no moment of rising above doesn't incur a loss A cost in this case there is the real understanding that you put yourself on the line for something not even someone that would not have done anything remotely the same you expose yourself to Immortal damnation never again to see Addie never again to learn enough about the culture to survive it for something that would well if you if the what you've witnessed thus far was to be the judge would swallow you down as one would absent-mindedly just handfuls of nuts at the bar you're nothing more than a pretzel in a dirty grubby pauled over Brown waxy papered bold at a bar you're tossed out daily you matter as much to that Kindred as the snack food at most bars is only there because it's salty and gets you drinking more it's handed out by the boatloads because the more people Nosh on it the more they're going to drink the more they're going to order something to actually fill them your empty calories at best or at least that's what your Beast tells you that's what your darker nature does in an effort to drive home just how foolish it was in risking your forever for something and someone that could not care less or the Beast might be screaming that at him Landry didn't give him much options for failure so Jimmy doesn't do anything by halves no no he doesn't and the combined heaving and Hauling of he and Haas remember you do receive a plus one for the assistance of you two working together managed just to get the bulk of the bullfrog up and out of the hole their own Undead strength and fear coursing through them keeping them moving when depression and their their bulk might otherwise paralyze them in that flame in the doing however would you be so kind you should not jot down in one aggravated point of damage for you and Haas because the Flames are not as forgiving as fate the Flames want your entire existence gone you can hear it whispering amongst itself as it laps and licks at your skin as you to help the bullfrogs first to their feet and then up those 12 feet onto the next level the floor buckling and creaking under the weight bits and pieces have been falling further into a flame adding to the fuel but you managed to get them up and out of the flame and rolling and crawling on Floors elbows and knees towards the door leading out of the banquet hall where you all work at which point you hear Vanessa yelling screaming I'm out yeah is uh I imagine Oliver is still in that screaming yeah I imagine Oliver is still in that that immediate Nexus right outside the uh the dining hall yep you're in Kannitha do do we see them like crawling out of the pits of Hell whereas you hear them the creaking and buckling of the floor barely holding itself together as the bullfrogen elbows and knees pulls themselves out of the banquet hall being pushed forward by Haas and Jimmy it's a room filling with smoke and Flames lapping up from beneath and these three come trembling out of that space the floor clearly barely holding itself together you can feel the weight of the house sagging under their efforts do the left here through the left hand oh and go on through the kitchen um and just get the [ __ ] out of the house see I can imagine yeah yeah okay well let's see yeah Kannitha is like right behind you know it's a good thing that you went down there Jim because I didn't have a movement ability I would have been [ __ ] trapped whoa yeah what other options did I have choo choo choo choo there's something to be said for the wealthy rarely is any of that to be said politely oh good or well-intentioned however in this particular case while Yes trees are very much fuel for Flames but the wasteful spending of maintaining the garden keeping it hydrated and well pruned and well maintained means that there's a level of moisture in the grounds around you in the trees around you in the Hedge around you that dampens the raw Heat of the Flames yes keeping the Garden in operational state it has been a massive drain on the already overburden water systems for the coastal area yes it has cost more in drinkable water being lost just Up in Smoke kept from the poor that can use it is an extraordinarily drained on human resources and just that's probably what it is it even during the winter there is a deficit of fresh drinking water because of places like this so there are families who can only support themselves with purchased water no it is very much a sign of excess where these grounds are hand tended so yes there's no water management system it is just buckets and buckets of sprayed on and pumped up water to keep the grounds nice and green even here in the dark even here at night it's Jamil just roll around in the Jew of the grass then trying to cool off his uh Burns Oliver isn't just gonna the moment that hospital makes it out of the bridge just start inspecting them looking them over but just oh damn it boy you got all crisps being [ __ ] this is going to take forever to get off you good job though good job uh venison um that she inspects both the Kannitha and sneakers now um with his ally out he's just gonna look over to uh Galloway and go frenzy yours because I'm not too sure anybody knew we was coming in I hate to be late but the old word a problematic issues at play and he stands up looking at the real symbol of his power the real symbol of his family's power yes hey no accident and he Squints his eyes looking at the number of you bypassing Jimmy and Haas who knows how operations are typically carried out he knows the Playbook he wrote portions of it hmm I ain't never been such a thing I just got you on fire of course you may not think that it was the case if we sit here to die with you then that's an entirely didn't situation but I doubt that I think exactly that a mixed grouper and Ox with cicada to form a sacrificial offer to remove one of the many power and information Brokers of the city of the coast itself hell my family stretch all the way down to the capital city itself you tell me what sense it makes send it to hakeda in the midst of all of this Anarchy goodness to retrieve someone that well factually it actually very rarely ever leaves their domicile not hard knowing where I might have been is not hard guesstimating that well with a house a man of such as this that it'd be impossible to stop the fire before it reached its critical point ain't hard at all to make that leap a lodging remembering back to Landry's previous threat of cooking them all in their building a little bit earlier than that the the look in Landry's eyes as she she gazed uh at Hollis and boss sitting there with the baroness that kind of seed of doubt and paranoia begins to take root just so you thinking we would send all out here to clean up something that doesn't need to be on the field it wouldn't make sense in the light of all of this trouble what if I was to perhaps amass my little army of birds with spreading in the distance and point them at something else or better yet Point them right at the heart of the bear and that's his Empire after all Harrison and Hancock County is in the midst of of a war at large some few numbers of you all have gotten up to enough trouble it caused the governor himself to give not one but three goddamn press conferences about potentially aligning with the National Guard or worse what better way than the Scion of a normal family and going back to the very Foundation of this state as a sacrificial lamb to drive the governor to look at one particular direction I.E my family's business well that's the case what the hell we gonna be able to do about it you know what you all need to do about it and I technically owe you uh Mr hay card I hadn't and you of course Hoss you know you are always welcome in my kitchen and occasionally at my table you all know what y'all need to do the question is is you're gonna do it Landry the only reason that I'm here in the first place is always told to do it or die now what sort of friend makes a friendship based off of do with a dive you were disposable from the outset wrong place no [ __ ] it is if that [ __ ] sent us in here to dive that [ __ ] sent me and Hoss in ahead and die [ __ ] it no she's going down ain't no way we're doing this what better way to get maintain a claim and power inside the air knock except for getting rid of the only peoples that may even be remotely of a challenge to her undies trying times get rid of the molotov then you're definitely more needed than you would before now aren't you I just buy politics before we leave here before before I head off to do what I need to do to who I need to do it to do we have your support there are still things out there that need to be dealt with and if I'm Gonna Keep the baroness from doing something really [ __ ] stupid I'm gonna need something to present to her that's going to get her off my case my whole willing to kill Landry I'm more than willing to kill Andrew right now I think that might be exactly what we need to do but first let us a lot elsewhere because I'm going to happen to notify my personal fire department to put this out to make sure this stays as quiet as possible there should be no way that the ground doesn't swallow him up a whole from sheer weight alone yet he tried to cross the garden grounds further away from the building yeah come on now y'all needs to keep up we need to establish some distance get up off the ground and follow along behind so does Pat call us on the shoulder and walk along behind him he's known him longer than Landry and yes [ __ ] Landry yeah Vanessa will follow as she was possibly some shards of glass out of her now and it was just following for that stuff hopefully Jimmy well the only reason he's there is because land Creek said that they'd die if they didn't do it like I mean it isn't it's [ __ ] if he does [ __ ] if he doesn't yeah yeah just uh Oliver will kind of hand off the knife to hand off the knife over to Haas just hey anything goes silly me you won't need this more than I will uh I didn't need it to get the bowl frog no I'm just saying he's probably got more use out of it than I do but we do it another show oh no a bullfrog you got something out there you want him to cover up I can't say at the moment that I don't but right now the thing is we're just going to go with a distant relations home and partake of it as our own for a small spell all right well I'll see you you keep that on hold for now I have a question where is that service that has all of our weapons somewhere oh you all didn't recognize rescue Jim and he stops and looks y'all left Jim inside damn it all this Hill's got the damn Keys Jim's got a better chance of getting out and we did Well normally yes but I I didn't get a chance to replace his leg it is a prosthetic I I got hungry during the night just previous wait so he's been wait he's been hobbling around and on like what yeah you didn't see it and she looks at the house like you know to being like if it's too late to go back in the roof Falls in look I'm sorry but if Jim ain't out Jim's [ __ ] dead looks like I will have to get the weapons later and hope for the best that they are all still intact so but like just get a new one done get a new gun that gun has been in my family since the 1900s I refuse to let it burn well that sucks [ __ ] you ugly uh let's say is if I understand correctly hopefully the gun will still be like all nice and intact I'm sure hopefully I'm sure that if you are quick enough that you can make it through any of those problematic Flames it just the door is right there you could charge through and make it to the front of the manner before the Flames take too much of your resistance from you I'm just gonna keep walking I didn't lose anything that I care about I'm not going back in there yeah we're gym usually I'm usually at least uh somewhere on the first you know room of the of the house new girl are you actually considering going in there I wasn't talking to you I was talking to her but like I'm slightly considering for the gun but I'm just gonna ah I'll hope for the best that it is still intact when the firefighters are done it insurance so in your any repairs can be covered so good so yeah let's just let's just hope for the best that the gun will still be intact when the firefighters are done okay you just gotta walk off follow in Calloway with host just kind of what a damn gun uh the gun had sentimental value relative to somebody with Vanessa my grandpa my grandpa used it in World War one and father and World War II yep my fingers and my toes have sentimental value of me more so than my knobs but I suppose I ain't got no family heirlooms and nothing like that them got pawned off in my 20s early early 20s what was it like no that was 19. that was when I was 19. huh oh like a siblets just hope for the best that it will be intact and the firefighters are done uh and then like he takes out like another shot of glass off of her oh man when I put one on your back here let me please ow thanks and she checks and seeing who's like okay all right you're okay okay here yeah you don't seem to have glass on you yeah just what I think it was right oh this is my rat and uh backup surveillance that I'm trying to train right now you have never seen um you have never seen a more accurate representation of fear then looking into that rats face it is not it is not anywhere near calm it is almost catatonic physically but the eyes are expressive anyone with animal can of two or higher understands that the only reason why it doesn't take off running is because it doesn't believe that it will ever actually escape the cold dead thing that is holding it a hostage and as far as it's concerned better me than my heart and family I do this for all the the colonies that I love this is for the Swarms the 35th of my line like they're sneakers as I'm like you're petting him like it's okay okay I'll still help you make it better I'll make it better it's okay boss is most likely looking at that rat with extreme amounts of pity he's the only one between the two of us that has animal kid oh my goodness okay help it's like hey it's okay I feed you so hey I'll continue to feed you give me something special I already gave you something nice tonight give you another nice thing tomorrow okay I never understood y'all people with the animal and what [ __ ] but I've never had to tell her no oh man that explains a few things I'm sorry I grew up during the period of time where it was hard enough to feed yourself and your family let alone some random animal you God run around the house I just put Snickers back inside my hoodie pocket where he can curl up and do whatever the WASP continues crawling across Julie's face Doom doesn't care I oh Elena sometimes you might need to invest into some animals they can be good the closest thing I had to a pet with some uh I'm I am not a pet boss no not you hoes I was talking about that that what was it I think it was some kind of Filipino kid they jumped in real quick and nice like crawled up out the dirt he was cool for the first couple weeks unfortunately he only lasted the first couple weeks well that's a rip his name was dog [ __ ] boss everyone called him dog [ __ ] no dog [ __ ] yeah what's up another shirt I mean something inflicted that you know he got names that and then you said he didn't last long I mean he was pretty dog [ __ ] at his job because he smelled like it do you think do you think they chose that particular about to bury them in because of that you think it might have been the dirt yes all right well what actually is interesting is as the bullfrog leaves you across the enclosed space he literally pulls the smallest flip phone you have ever seen which looks even smaller in his massive hands from his flesh he sticks the hand just between the small space of his shirt that bulges at the belly into the folds and pulls a clearly operational soul from from his flesh gonna be and flips it open I would not put that anyone in my head and the pinky that he's using to dial or touch the buttons and yes there is not a touch screen there are actually buttons oh man makes it look even smaller somehow it seems to be shrinking in his hand as he has to open his hand wider to point with his pinky to actually affect the buttons the keypad it's like he'll be an incredibly rude I'm sorry and he flips just put them in your head and keep them there and as he keeps walking it's roughly 647 feet of garden space that you guys are covering to get to the nearest other Manor House the nearest other mansion on the property and it doesn't seem like all that much from a from Ariel Lee doesn't seem like all that much from a distance if you're standing outside of the fence everything looks relatively close it's only as you're traveling across this space that the Eerie weight of all those who have died in this area begins to affect you as if the fire itself is not just a physical one those of you gifted with alternative senses those of you gifted with an understanding of what the occult world around you actually is at all times those of you with experience in the ebb and flow of the Unseen dead the unbodied dead healed them ruffling and rifling through your hair gliding across your skin looking for openings looking for the opportunities that your corpses might provide them they're getting PTSD Gmail just take off in Leaps and Bounds using a soaring leap towards the nearest metal what happened to him how about catch up fellas there are dead here uh one two three obviously formless dead Spirits I feel them and he's gone okay and it's like oh there's so many have you ever considered Calloway's dietary habits they're angry Fred no we we are uh just a few places from your back door A friend of mine who survived the fire will be there oh he's oh he's there now just open the damn door boy in order of the the fire patrol The Bucket Brigade the Mana is on fire again and as small as the phone is and muffled by his flesh as it is literally holds it against his face Uncle you said that what happened 20 years ago would never happen again we said we don't have to worry about the the spirit boy I I stole but Uncle I have gassed over everyone knows you ain't the Marion card you can't surprise nothing so just whatever's dangling stop it from dangling freely have your friends and Associates I I don't know hide behind the countertops boy open the door hey what happened 20 years ago we had a few um activists look into the family history and some of the property that we owned was deemed offensive foreign reason why we publicly sold some of the the land uh up until then our Estates all the way to what is currently beat line and all the way over to Mockingbird Drive I was personal family property I owned hunting warrants but we in an effort to make peace uh publicly sold we still own it we just make sure that no one understands that we do ah gotcha I mean I don't really understand but I kind of understand all of the homes around us they are still on uh the mortgage that it's they're paying off is to us little did I realize they will never actually own the home we keep helping them by refine helping them by refinancing their property giving them more money in their pocket and they're sending the the time frame of the mortgage they'll never own and we will never officially own even though it is exactly what we do we don't give away things it's just a family hobby I suppose that's a that's that rich [ __ ] I don't know agent in that I got one property and that's about it and even then out of the way uh it's interesting to know that the spirits played into that no no um sometimes they play little games and pop up here and there there's nothing you really need to worry about just a whisper I know a little one of them away like the bugs that they are the dead what the hell he'd bring them up hold up I have no idea they just don't worry about that people that steal it especially those who who share bill in one brain cell with their twin Reginald is a Dear Boy you know totally mind raped uh an accident of an accident shouldn't have never been born but you know human's gonna do what humans gonna do and they procreate and create little spawns of themselves without properly considering was that my name but was dumb enough but we're not going to talk about distant relations but he's he's fine enough blessing is hard and speaking of bless his heart as you make it to the nearest next manner over landing at what is the back door occluded and hidden by the Shadows from the garden where is Jimmy sensitivities when it comes to gratuitous graphic public nudity and displays of affection that require the swallowing of things that shouldn't be in anyone else's mouth I mean like I think the internet exists it does 1970s style origin it does but there's a difference between the internet and having full smellovision and the auditory theater of these sounds in person you know it's prior who was with uh he was he was I mean he's he shouldn't really be one to judge that'd be a bit hypocritical it doesn't stop it from being the case foreign what would you like me to roll I don't need to roll just where is Jimmy sensitivities in regards to that because that's exactly what he lands while he's still currently hidden by the shadows and he's just outstripped the feel of the spiritual World bombarding him and seeking for entrance he lands from the realm of the spirits basically into the realm of the Flesh in gratuitous bright Technicolor reality full smell of vision full sounds and the very well thought out yet horrendously it's about it dialogue of people who are meeting for the first time under the most extraordinary circumstances you know I don't I I've never done this before Oh Reggie does these parties once a month it is great just go ahead continue what you're doing just like that maybe a little bit more pressure well I imagine they might be a little bit preoccupied so no one's actually watching Jimmy he might uh just slip into the Shadows Jimmy uh I don't think you won't be sniffing imagine the smells yes unless you want the the whole Seafood bouquet you know you just uh you keep that nose all plants huh oh man seafood and freshly made bread yeah that's your thought I don't know much about these they're everywhere there's so many well what they're saying you going all spirit something I would hear of in Sixth Sense the movie I'm I'm trying to with I'm trying to not enter the spirit world but I'm trying to listen as best I can so you don't do it so you are attempting to Stave off and not cry um that being the case my deal Kannitha things get a little difficult at that case would you be so kind is to roll your composure plus Oblivion and those of you not endured to this horrible resonance the weight of all of these physically unliving things bombarding and seeking entrance because that is exactly what they're doing they're seeking interest they're attempting to find ways around your naturally resistant States to once again inhabit the flesh would you all be so kind as to roll your resolve and unspent willpower like everybody or or just Kannitha everybody but Kannitha is a well nicely there a particular variety of being Undead in their natural element there's a natural resistance that the hikara and certain Premier hold and have so when I rolling again you're rolling your composure and Oblivion to not give up over to the power might and beauty of the Unseen World budding our own you said composure and unspent willpower I said resolve and I've spent willpower but over resolved oh whoops I hate it it hates me and I hate it it seems it seems that whenever I roll for uh things involving spooking strategic I get a good rolls it's weird all of that is that your final role uh this is a willpower roll I can't I can't willpower it it's a resolving willpower yes yeah as far as I'm aware if it requires using one of your one of your trackers yeah your trackers there you go so yeah that's my final role oh Oliver is going to get taken into the shadow Realm oh it starts with a chicken it starts with a change of posture small a small thing as far as such things go and in the dark at the edge of the light cast by the fire it's even harder to notice there but harder doesn't mean impossible Oliver goes from an easy free moving gate is back straightening his hands swinging far less maintaining their place at his side his left rising to rest against his midsection his straight-legged almost March taking over and the alignment of his head his jaw beginning to jut forward his head held high a very good military man should even in the dark lost there's a standard that the military must abide by Dear Boy why are we here Jeremiah Comes The Voice echoing from Oliver that voice and that Annunciation that manner of speech pulls the bullfrog up short which is saying a lot for his size there's a hunching of the shoulders as he pauses nearly mid Shard it begins to look at Oliver as that voice escapes him answer me what I'm speaking to you Jeremiah oh she is I'm being gundamed by a ghost should I get the salt uh the Bible what am I supposed to do today that is in fact a good question and as that question weighs a bone upon everyone as that realization that something is not even remotely right as the chaos that has erupted earlier in this evening it is three after the hour let's take a quick 10 here and be back at 13 after all right welcome back everybody who's still with us that's taking us all right well when we stepped away the reality is to as to what is befalling and falling over Oliver has begun to take room at the exact same time as Jimmy finding himself face to face or face of various other appendages with what Reginald and his codery of associated Mortals I've gotten up to as Jimmy waits in the dark watching the performances and public private moments being carried out written large a bright red-headed individuals whose curtains definitely matches the drapes whose carpets definitely do not hangs the phone up and moves from the 1970s kitchen wall mounted rotary lime green foam towards the back door the patio and he unlocks the wrought iron gate that only stands roughly waist high and begin chewing his Partiers inside to other rooms yeah I I know I know I but I I I he pays the rent you all need to move come on there's other bedrooms and I know that's not quite as breezy but for your sake no better yet for your family's sake because I will definitely share all the video from our last Gathering plus this one to all of your social medias or your family your friends will know what you all get up to and while we don't kick shame we we King Shame especially no one ever will believe that you would be able to get so many of those crab apples shelves so all right I'm going I'm going I'm Cup come on come yes that's it come on now come on you you all must move please this party isn't for everybody and it will be forever they come on let's go and and as that is happening the bullfrog seizes both of Oliver's shoulders and being able to give them a shake using all of the scientific method from Elder Generations or someone that's hysteria give them a slap if someone is behaving reprehensively give them a good Shake spare the rod spoil the well entertainments usually but in this case it is a fear inspired action on his part what is everyone doing vibing Oliver yes it's just uh Vanessa's like well that was one of my ideas uh thank you yeah he can hear it he's looking back over his shoulder to not catch well make eye contact with certain other things that are interested well if she can guess what the ghost is I think when Jimmy took off he probably wouldn't have seen Oliver get taken over so he would have just looked back to see a big slap so I don't know maybe for not jumping down the hole he ain't going back out he's a ghost in Kannitha you were saying you're guessing at what trying to um deduce what what the hell is inside of all of our it's a hurray I've got it checked off on the the ghost hunting Journal s we need to play out some more yeah well for me no I especially VR um what is Kannitha's occult uh zero let's see she's not trying to figure out like what evaluable classification ghost is if you're trying to figure out like what the heck exactly it like what what what what like the constipation but like um what what sort of person is currently uh wearing all over like a suit unfortunately and here's the part where you are far smarter and more intelligent than Kannitha you've been exposed to all sorts of pop popular and public media in regards to Spirit specters and the State of Affairs and while that is 100 inaccurate that is even more than Kannitha has the foundation of working from okay that is I guess she's just okay okay she's just not doing anything no frame of reference unfortunately a logical deduction of holy [ __ ] the the spirit's got a hold of the boy the spirit's got a hold of the boy just like in that movie The Exorcist I can't wait for him to break out the crucifix that'll be interesting it was only work before The Possession and far less pea soup than you than you'd imagine in this particular case there you are Kenneth you and while your internet is being possessed by the ghost in the machine the present possession happening in front of you with Oliver is well endemically problematic the last thing you want is someone who's already failed life at least once to be removed from it having access to something that can continue on forever potentially what's uh Huss doing immediately interposing himself between Oliver and the bullfrog forcing them apart you don't hit him oh well his house is looking after him I guess Jimmy doesn't need to jump in any further oh once again Jimmy wants to stay away from the ghosts there is a quote that many use we in regards to battling spirits battling the forces of other realms something about them being Legion and badly against Powers Inferno none of that actually applies to the moment because Oliver is able to see through his eyes at the same time as he's seeing in effectively third person he realizes that he is not himself when the ghosts are hungry and unfortunately for him there's no Snicker that might help the only resource being a experienced Hakata or a Shamir who was gifted in such things the question the question is will he attempt to fight for control of his being to regain his own agency there's a certain amount of curiosity I have towards seeing this play out towards seeing what the bullfrog is so afraid of in this man but there's also an understanding that um yeah Oliver's not the type of guy to put that much thought into whatever it comes down to that [ __ ] in my body so yeah I'm gonna fight for my control all right um would you be surprised to go ahead and make that exact same room it is your closure and unspinch willpower your resolve sorry and your unspent willpower it is in fact at this point you can test it yeah it's three on my end get it girl ride them cowboy compiles you the power of Oliver compels you you [ __ ] with me there is and a front that naturally occurs when someone without your permission lays hands on you there is in the front when someone without your permission wears you like a condom for their own purposes there is a feeling of dirt internally as if someone slipped to you on like a pair of Tidy whities and we're preparing to have fun in the world there is a slick substance on the inside of you somewhere deep down that you didn't believe was possible to be there after all the crimes against humanity and breaking of the laws of man and God that you've witnessed taking part in a reveled in the fact that there's some portion of you that can feel dirty is an amazing feeling I'm not one you're entirely accustomed to there shouldn't be any shame there shouldn't be any guilt there shouldn't be any of that icky it's like sliminess that you feel but it is there you've been used and as you stare at Hoss's and back as he stands between you and the bullfrog it doesn't add to it because houses are just tall enough from uh versus you that staring at his back really makes you realize how small you are and how used you actually were there's a griminess to that and you can hear that voice what about a voice you can hear that voice and it's not you're a beast you can hear that voice and you know that it is the fact Jeremiah's father and try though you might to ignore it his voice is there Ninja always let down even in and try though you might to not see a portion of whatever the memory the ghost is bombarding you with whatever the spirit has bombarding you with you catch just enough of a glimpse as you freshly home from carousing with the other gentleman of the city council probably more inebriated than you'd like to have been at that moment after all it is a sign of moral depravity being able to be swooned by alcohol yet there's a tinge of it there clouding your judgment as you enter Jeremiah's room and close the door behind you you try not to see that you try not to feel that but the ghost is providing you with so much in an effort to further Whittle away your D enses that brief flickers and glimmers of past moments including staring into Jeremiah's face as he consumed your hand is he chewed on your tongue while holding eye contact as he didn't even bother to spit roast you carving small bits of you and holding it over the Brazier to consume bit by bit oh what the [ __ ] is going on he says just kind of clenching his eyes shut and rubbing at them trying to get the uh the mental image out and inadvertently by removing uh any other sensory input making the the vision a bit more Vivid oh Calloway you piss your dead ass up and fish I'd be removed remiss if I didn't warn you that there are certain things that we will not discuss and one shouldn't be crawling around family closet yeah your family shouldn't be crawling around in me ignore it or at least not speak on it I I will not have to put up with such things as a betrayal of our trust and Association horse I will not harm your partner but have your partner make sure that they don't harm my standing presently let's get inside Reginald's and get the fire brigade moving come along now Eddie oh I feel like a used condom been left on the side of the road I told you they're out for everybody what she had knitted around all right guys if you're still here go after that well no you don't want me that's not entirely true you felt that you felt their pressure you've managed to withstand their attentions and you managed to do it with such an enough Applause that you've become the challenge you've become the old Apple code that every hacker worth their salt through themselves against you become the unbreakable most secure computer and as such most of them have targeted you and Kannitha to seek entrance so you feel them pulling at you mentally you feel them gnawing around the edges of your psyche you feel the pressure of them the hundreds of angry hungry bodyless dead seeking entrance seeking for a moment where you let your guard down just a fraction of an inch all it takes is less than two millimeters of psychic opening for them to slip in yes they're trying to get me but I refuse to let them see like she starts swatting all right all right we're just trying to get into it ain't no time to be making jokes let's just falling on with Calloway and good it's all so in that man I don't know like I don't understand how you can actually deal yeah I don't know how you how you deal with this kind of thing I really don't I hear the voices do you hear the voices do they're trying to get into my head but I'm giving them a a clear no thank you you hope it's clear but you're not sure that it's actually hitting the quite the same definitively know as you're putting out there's a very real icky but how do you know if you haven't tried come on like nope I don't want to I don't want to be uh somebody's flesh puppet like I just witnessed with Oliver oh you'd not be a puppet you'd be a sheath where we could drive home and they go on and on and there's a vividness that should not be there in bodyless voices crawling around the edges of your mind whispering and clawing to get inside paying them attention adds fuel to the fire and as you all make it to Reginald's back gate and he's standing there and a pink Chiffon dressing gown the front carved open and sewn with a fine embroidered sash the only thing keeping you from seeing a full monty as it were Uncle your friends I I've cleared out most of the gas uh they are moving upstairs if you give me a bone there's no moment but Reginald just did you get did you call the fire brigade uh I didn't have time I had to boy can you not do other things right your father was right about you you wouldn't even fit the service what just go on move get that Newton going we'll be in the library and the bullfrog muscles and moves past Reginald the only difference between the two of them is the the bullfrog is Undead and has grown to unseemly and unsightly proportions Reginald in all of his Ginger headache glory is a smaller slightly Tanner version of the bullfrog it is clear the family resemblance has very little to do with simple eye color or hair color almost as if the family tree is very nearly an entirely straight line you're awesome Calloway leads you further into them to the home that is not his but is a smaller copy made of inferior materials am I still impressive enough to throw more than a small soiree it's moving through the spaces if he owns it because in fact officially he does settling into the library as you all hear motion and commotion above you and in other rooms a size and settles the furniture creaking and screaming in protests under his bulk it has been a nod I did not even finish my meal so it is best for us to have a plan of moving forward you will uh officially the anti-annock an ox to remove Landry from her position of power what if anything is your first course of action well getting her out of that seat as soon as possible is gonna be good I suppose if we're call up tell her we got you but the vehicle got messed up something we can lure out somewhere to pick you up probably too far tends to be you don't get to be an enforce or security direct with uh and then what you said what you thinking cried well Bob Pride of course I tends to always have that right in their work pride in there abilities hoping you can challenge that yeah but how do we do that from our current situation speed anybody else got a bad idea got a what hey bro I did I've met Landry for less than five minutes I don't know anything about it and you know she's a jerk I know she told us that if we didn't bring him back then you know it wasn't looking good for us so so I don't know far since it's a kill they're thinking we doing what we supposed to do then that'll even open and just lodging up about the text out oh take her out uh just about every time Landry needs me Okay I uh not completely uh myself there's there's always something that that might be bothered me with foreign she's pretty much almost always probably thinking or plotting and figuring out how to kill me I don't know okay well if you ain't got nothing to constructive then cut it with the [ __ ] [ __ ] she ain't a dog yeah I don't mind the cats I mean they're gonna lie I I don't I don't whatever y'all got your own thing going on I wouldn't suggest that but y'all do you look as I said Calloway we still on a uh again team here until we get his job finished Landry going thing and we follow through on this we do what we're supposed to do that we're still part of the program which will give us an opportune uh uh uh angle distraction to help us in this moment we'd be able to set ourselves up to get rid of laundry without any problems coming about it how about this we all give her what she what she thinks she wants I'm just taking it that she plans on utilizing the Calloways Network to her own ends to avert whatever it is that she might be doing and it's clear but it's clear but she doesn't care about y'all's well-being nor am I known and I can't say that I blame her in that regards so why not give her what she thinks she wants Reginald I know that boy can hear me with one of y'all go fetch Reginald yeah yeah I'll be back it kind of slinks off it is as they say time for the the big brain to be doing all the thinking you all don't know Lander quite the way that I have known of Landrum but they did not have not always been is that what they seen today and being from darwins and all uh what's your experience with her completely different than yours she has not always been cheat but that's a story for another time I suppose meanwhile he hints and teases at knowledge that may be factual may not be heading out of the library to go find Reginald Oliver do you have any extra sensory abilities oh hell no I'm about as blind and deaf as a [ __ ] bat that's running the wall all right so the first door you open hearing voices upstairs there's a tableau that well it's artistic you realize people could be quite that contorted and still be living but it is clear that they're having a high old time the next few doors the same different partners different skin tones different hair different heights and the adjustments needed to make the connection from one person to the next and it allows you find Reginald snorting what can best be considered the crew made it remains of something not wide enough nor yellow enough to be any of the known drugs that you've seen people inhale there's a grayish tone to it a tent something that you've seen before because it looks very much like sand from a distance like all pre-made it remains but it is clear that this has some borderline hallucinogenic properties because he looks up with a slight glow to his eye hey glow that is not in fact that very far removed from what you might see in a wolf or a dog in the distance the light barely catching their eyes and causing it to shift into a reddish Ember tone what the hell y'all got pulled up on here this is looking like a party what was that you summer Jeremiah's friends come on go come on in here have a little bit of a belt yourself and here's the straw all right all right I'll take a snack but after that we gotta go see Jeremiah okay what's that a Jeremiah think he won't we can get around all that it's about time I I suppose I get some of my and do you actually snort yeah [ __ ] it on the lights baby I didn't do anything wrong to him as far as I can tell and I ain't seen a drug yet Ben [ __ ] me up give me a watch curiously World on Earth I think well is he for that in half bad lies the basic problem and it's not a problem until that substance hits your nose when it hits your nose expecting the typical physical bone that doesn't ever come from the drugs that you've had since death knowing that you will be calm of mine clear of head as is always the case unless of course it is in the veins of your victim there is nothing that will actually ever affect you that's your belief that is your suit of armor against all of the illicit things that you've been exposed to and while it is 100 percent true there's an exception for every Rule and a rule for every exception this is that exception how long has it been since Oliver has actually been inebriated illegally he's been dead about 30 years it has been at least that long and all of those days and years accumulated three decades of actual Earnest sobriety because nothing's ever hit his bloodstream yeah nothing's ever been circulated through his system that has stolen his reason and yet now twice in one night he has just not been himself because what hits his system nuclear he is stronger he is better he is faster he's smarter and more handsome than he's ever been in at least 30 years his world expands his recognition of what's happening around him goes hypersonic his eyes dilate to pin Pricks as the feeling of power of EX of ecstasy second only to being victimized by the kiss and victimizing others in the throes of the kiss at the exact same time he is holding a grenade in his nose and it goes off basically just a very loud so it sounds good then what any any good or all right Jimmy you're gonna have some too he has an addictive personality what's going on up there yo sharing blood with Addie not just drinking adding but drinking and being drunk by Addie is the most pleasure he has had ever until now his world view takes in every finite detail that has ever detailed ever the beauty of the world magnifies several hundred thousand times over Oliver is extraordinarily beautiful Regino is glowing with you you've heard people talk about women who get pregnant and they begin to Glow they become attractive in every facet of that's been [ __ ] in your estimation an ugly woman still an ugly woman to you pregnant or not an ugly man is an ugly man to you yeah In This Moment seeing the world for how it truly is being the strongest you've ever been that being the most pleased as you've ever been opening up his actual Gmail scrape the rest of it off the table and into that for safe keeping LOL this is mine now yep yeah it's like oh that was so good I gotta say this for later man well Eddie might like some as you all exit the room with Revenue there's a scene in most action movies where the good guy is caught in the perfect light of the Setting Sun where the breeze lightly tassels their hair while causing their jackets to Floral and fan out behind them ever the world moves in perfect slow motion to the beat of their strides that's how you all feel moving through this mini micro copied Mansion of the cowboy primary estate uh oh I'm swinging you just strolling down the hole Yeah there's exaggerated motions going on very like Dr livsley walking happening yeah can we get drunk um as far as I know uh you can basically get under the influence if the person who drink problems yo Jimmy I didn't like you too much at first you know you breaking into my house and all but you pretty cool guy you know that you know what and back at you the uh the shittiest game to begin with I wasn't a big fan but you know you guys are all right yeah Daddy Uncle Jeremiah these here are my Posse and we understand that you have called me for what you you need a little bit of a and he stars to Sashay and without knowing you know what is about to happen there's so much rizz rolling off of Reginald in this moment but as his hips go gently to the left and then swing back to the right and his hands are resting on the sash holding his dressing gown his tailored bathrobe in place what happens next that sash loosens the flap furrows open you know that that's where this is going and well strip tease is just like evil only prosper in the Silence of Good Men huh I'm not so sure that's what he wants but you keep doing you come on there come cover up cover up cover up please what oh you can't stop this oh no this is whatever butter is here I'm follow-up and there's no music yet somehow he is perfectly on beat to the absolute best striptease music that he's ever heard for sure and his hips are rolling his hand is holding the sash in place and while he has clearly never had dancing instruction nor experience he understands the way the music can make you move and you've never seen someone this large with perfect timing of their hips yet there it is before you you his hips acting as the actual metronome to get the world moving and gyrating and as the floor is bouncing under the swaying of his hips as he's rocking getting it going the bullfrog doesn't seem to actually give two shits about that boy well you know I've appreciated your talents and your services and you being able to really understand what the family's all about it's time for you to give more than you have ever given before uh I did not get your your name there um and he snaps his fingers the hairy one um I did not get your name but would you be so kindness to man handled my nephew to the ground preferably a few slashes across the throat make sure that he bleeds out quickly you can take his mod at two Landry and explain that in your furious rage at the indignations that I visited upon you you had no choice but to defend yourself you all can help her I mean while he's speaking the words clearly they don't seem to be registering registered note until take my body hang on now daddy Uncle Reginald relax it will be relatively painless it'll be quick come on now you wanna be a giveaway I have not been seen in public in 40 plus years three of the Vanessa senior we handle information exchanges through proxy dumbasses that are expendable enough to be killed immediately thereafter wait a minute I did not waste all of my y'all to be offered as some sacrificial lamb daddy Uncle you got to be joking no even if he's pleading for his life his hips are still moving that Ergo come on now you can't stop the flow like this I I've been loyal to the friendly you're dancing I will kill you myself I have had enough time to deal with this you know I'm feeling too good to really give too much of [ __ ] about the consequences of what's about to happen hey hoes Jimmy's just giggling to himself watching this all play out okay when he died oh man he didn't know it Galloway he gonna do that whole like rotten to Ash thing or oh no oh no oh no Reginald is not anywhere near gifted enough to be grandchit immortality would that be a problem everybody knows you is what you is hmm you'd think that wouldn't you save a little bit of a Tay in the system over years means that well daddy daddy Uncle no now as you see all of this finery Are you seriously considering putting that into the groove I've got guests after all no no Reginald I personally wouldn't would never of course well I was particularly hungry I would never harm you relax this is just a consideration of plans I will never put my hands on that precious little head of hair yours would you all please just end him already how do you want it to look you just tell him open girl no no don't be going get no rest you ain't got to do with a thing like that look at these any points with both hands towards his hip at the exact moment his his sash Falls free decks original yes oh ain't no easy to make this at all how long it need to be girl just just [ __ ] do your thing You Gonna Act Like A Dog all damn night when we need you to sick you going sick go ahead and roll your strength plus brawl DC One can I browse if you would like but roll your rails afterwards so that you don't have to consider the hunger as an addition just add the two die roll your roll and then roll your rows uh as a player I'm trying to understand uh so original it is just he's just High out of his mind he hasn't really that much of anything other than being stupid pretty well here we go there's something to be said about the dead even the last the less physically gifted amongst the dead when putting their thoughts into physical action have preposterously damaging effects there's no way that Kannitha has ever knocked anyone out there's no way that Kannitha has ever knocked anyone to the ground with sheer unbridled aggression Kannitha's life has been one of usual utilizing technology tools scaffolds guns lights cars even but physically one to one she is never successfully accosted another being save somehow In This Moment her Undead rage the sheer [ __ ] all of it grants her Supernatural results Reginald's bulk snaps his head shooting backwards his feet going Skyward his robe floating like wings to catch all of that Bolt from hitting the ground and it happens so artisanally beautiful that it is hard to keep your eye off of just how perfectly thrown that punch was you'd be best at laughing he said well done yeah uh goes towards the ground and I was just like well let me see if I can decorate this up a little bit uh she kind of cracks her uh kind of cuts her fingers and her Knuckles and then gonna do some feral claws on this guy first oh wow that succeeded so yeah I just started tearing him open with my claws just tear them open oh dig in there get it get it going oh everything's nice oh you're the ones over there doing the heavy petting all night you ain't got nothing to say about no pervert I'm not talking about a pervert not you um got him the squeals of pain the cries the mercy and the outright begging that takes place normally wouldn't move anyone to any semblance of Mercy for there are those that are ill prepared for what life in and around Kindred Society might mean it at the drop of a hat and Reginald for all of his well free-flowing libertarian ideals there's nothing more than a pawn to be used at a moment's noticed by the person by the Kindred that owns him and that Kindred that owns them watches behind hooded eyes as Reginald ceases to be even the investment of the day that has kept Reginald young hail and Hardy means nothing in the grand scheme of moving one chess piece into the next sacrificing a pawn to entrap a queen throwing away a bishop to capture a knight moving pieces always towards the end game you're not sure when or exactly you cross over the threshold but somehow as Reginald cries for his mother with the last gurgling breaths granted him you are sure that you are in effect in the end game oh now we've got something to bring for Landry well we going down the road he's you but Tolbert or he just like you but dead I believe that it would most beneficially help y'all stand and if you took out one of them Prime threats to Landry's Ascension and controlling of the baroness Estates and plans you had no choice uh one of you all should probably be a little more injured if I was to vote on anybody I'd vote on whoever's the least beneficial to your group right now y'all need to understand that from this moment forward that we are in lockstep with ensuring that Landry no longer continues to exist there's no capitulation that she could offer to save their existence we must use every tool to remove them from their position of power and continued existence this is a pleasure we have made in blood I have given mine I've given my sacrifice and my investment you all need to find some way to pledge yourselves to our cause with proof Jamil looked into his burnt leg and say uh uh yeah [ __ ] Landry is the only reason I was in this mess in the first place it could be extreme feeling that I'm being manipulated like it's really hitting my red door but as I have no physical proof that uh that Landry didn't totally just send me into a death trap and it really seems like Landry sent me into a dead trap is it Spirit still hanging around no unfortunately each of the homes each of the manners have been warded against such things after all when when the cost of life is utilized for to make dinner there are certain steps and protections you need to take gotcha you say unfortunately but Jimmy's cheer I'm just like I'm getting the impression that like maybe the ghost he goes did it and he used that as an opportunity to redirect it but like I don't think ghosts can stop a [ __ ] house destroying fire like that you think that a moment always walking in you'd think that huh interesting that's a good thing no no you don't know is there are there any wooden chairs in this room yes yes craftsmanship Jimmy will pick up the uh do I need to roll craftsmanship no no I just know this because of it well picking up the nearest wooden chair Jimmy just kind of Smash It and then use one of the legs and just plunge it into original tart what's left of it yes they used to um I was just calling what it is being is that the actions weren't declared nor specified we're going to take the half of Vanessa's strength plus brawl and use that as the standard for the amount of sheer unbridled bestial animalistic damage that she wreaked on Reginald's corpse yeah I'm just gonna oh it's too much of a mess it probably wasn't worth doing but yeah I just want to make it look like it was in torpa we'll get it settled out who gets beat up and what once we get out of here thank you for your Enlightenment Calloway um I guess we'll give you a call once it's all done over with of course that's not to be understood now of course it's something that you all will probably gonna take a couple of nights to get around to get to truly finalizing and of course y'all gonna run in there like the Latin and Brigade something that Teddy Roosevelt dreamed up and assault her in front of everybody I'm sure that she will take offense that you all had to kill me in self-defense but because you are giving her what she wanted I'm sure that she will make do she's probably gonna send you all for proof to make sure that I didn't have any additional traps so what have you or any information that you all negligently Left Behind I'd say give it a night or two for the fires to be properly dealt down style she's gonna send you back for information and investigation so if all of you all remember in this we are Bound in Blood we are in this together so when she sends you all back here's what I would like you all to do so that I know to prepare and help as best I can hidden of course when he stands up and he rifles through his bulk on his left side and removes a roughly cigarette box sized wooden case anything this pocket it removes an actual widerable and he has this towards whoever is to be the leader of this particular codery if you ride this tent this kindling in this box the aroma alone will be distinctive but the fire will be green and it'll let me know that you are friends come once more to Define whatever it might be necessary to further and trap Landry into this plan of ours I'll grab the box all right and so as his Enterprise Hayes well names are important what should I call us what name that is Gathering of lock-minded individuals set to free our sales from the pernicious evil that is Landry bad luck Squad there's some validity into that I ain't much for the word squad though bad luckers no we can just be the bad luck crew let's go with that this is the 18 couldn't we be like the V team oh [ __ ] off no we got we got before we before we get done getting to it but yeah we got what we need to been not seeing you get out of the way Calloway come on um I apologize for my earlier bluntness in the building I would like to potentially make a request for ask for a favor or something from you if my if if my call if my Colt 45 is found please put it somewhere where I can retrieve it when we come back it truly does have a great amount of value to me and we are bound together in an Enterprise to remove the second most powerful in the entirety of the coast from existence I'll do my best to put the last bullet in laundry's head if I have to give me still being under the influence of the dust from earlier would be um pantomime and shooting from the hip it's like serious moment for Vanessa and then she sees that in her peripherals she's just different self I will use it to end Landry myself if need be well I will definitely hold that against you yeah I'll have a little bit left of the night I hate it it's just you all find a place to Haven for the day before finding Landry and explaining why you all failed and succeeded get her leaning here's how you know that she might be actually involved and be the real everything that I believe her to be would really be able to effectively handle an investigation if I am being truthful and this is actually solely on Landry she will without a doubt press you all to Define information she will press you all into an investigation where she could count out your failures to keep you under her thumb when that happens you use the candle in the man that box when that happens make sure that you all come back to Originals

I have some things to do here a little bit of home cleaning that's a problem to make this suited for myself in person so without further Ado I'd like to say good night to you all good night

good night got away not a cousin it was a pleasure at any points and like he's gonna say something but he stops himself

cousin I believe I need to promote you to full-on cousin when you have the opportunity I ask around about the Community campus and I'll see you when I can imagine code red well good night bad luck man look crude Squad I believe I covered all the bases until we have an official name for y'all better oh that's absolutely yeah helicopter I will say for the theme song I do have experience in Guitar

so hey all right whatever I need to we need to get out of here get out of Calloways business please vote anywhere else my last nerve I

'm already moving out the door yeah Jimmy um yeah I may or may not have Met Your Mother what like the person I may or may not have ran into somebody that possibly made you the the way that you are today possibly desire yeah one of those like I said I I may or may not have but uh let's just say I ran into yeah

enjoyable expression that was once on Jimmy's face would completely disappear you better start [ __ ] talking

and while you two are engaging that and once we clear the door and are outside all over a look over to Kannitha and be like you hear them ghosts right that you can talk to him for me I have no idea give it a shot his boy was talking about warning about spirits and [ __ ] I just want to make sure we ain't gonna get [ __ ] I don't know ghost can start a fire or not but if uh Day's real active and pissy and something like this happened 20 years ago I want to know and they realize the Dilemma what if

let me get back to you on that I'd like to go and talk to my clan I have some questions The Dilemma what if what if entirely and completely what if this was all just a mistake of perception what if this was not as it has been outlined

you've already thrown your yeah self behind a banner you've already stuck yourself out of the limb and if you were not correct in making that choice and decision and you are being played you've allowed the devil that may have been playing you to escape freely and you all are bound because you killed an innocent there's a certain weight to actions and while yes it has been touted several hundred times over the course of your resistances that evil cannot Prosper Saved By The Silence of Good Men original may not have been a good man he was definitively not an evil one he was definitively by no moral code evil no morals taboo was he evil

you all entered into his home you're entered into his space and you left a monster that consumes flesh and his party as a son is fairly close to the office you left the bullfrog three inside our other unprepared Mortals at his leisure there's not enough time before the sun rises over the horizon line to do much more than contemplate that there was nothing in Reginald that even was remotely factually evil Republican maybe but you won't get into his space and he did have some really good [ __ ] snort

he did uh he really [ __ ] did no no that's mine now

oh that's right come from and yeah no we've already tied ourselves to it we're already on the planet getting Landry out the way and taking what we can from the cops the Curiosity beyond all of his part is just figuring out whether or not afterwards he's got to worry about taking out the bullfrog isn't that always the way everything eats foreign

what do you hate I have to just keeps repeating those words over and over again just looking off the distance

welcome to the night Young Blood you either get with it or get Got by it yeah we're not finished you uh you got some things to tell me first

uh so possibly maybe I'm not 100 sure uh I might I kind of ran into a kindred that's kind of like you they were near me it was like some homeless tag definitely definitely changes like you

hey Kannitha you willing to take one for the team pardon well one of us has got to get the [ __ ] kicked out of them she took she absorbs the whole power of the city and if you want to keep Landry from finding out exactly what's going on here

you need someone who's skilled with investigation forensics that would be me I'm not saying you're leave me alone

all right not saying we're gonna kill you you just gotta look the pop and if that's enough for you to go ahead and say that you know [ __ ] all this up
