foreign [Music] [Music] foreign hard start and so before we dive in both feet are there any questions suggestions hypotheses or Corners we need to round up um I suggest we all have a lovely time that is a very good suggestion I I will just make a little note of that stick that right here in front of the computer and uh let's see as for questions are there any other particular players that we need to worry about outside the prince within this little region um or is that something that might just be unveiled as they are required oh no they'll be unveiled in the first few moments of our actual opening we're in the pre-moments the orchestra is warming up there are two instruments the crowds who line the block waiting to get in are moving through the doors stopping at the uh coat check and hat check girls and guys depositing in their things some folks are swinging by the concession stands picking up bottles of wine we have a little nice small Sutter Home individual servings of wine both pink yellow and red because we don't really want to bother calling them blush Rose or white because that would be a little bit of a misnomer Sutter Home barely quantifies his wine but it is a good sip in the pinch we also serve hard alcohol various whiskeys channels okay artisanal vodkas even which is where we hope everyone begins to spend their hard-earned money the floors are carpeted and thick well worn but yet somehow very well maintained carpet with patterns that you haven't seen since the 1920s above your head is a work of art a hand carved tile and wooden buttresses abound letting you know that unlike you're taking a night at the movies this is a cathedral to the art of expression they're acting okay um and last but not least we are in fact a code or a relatively well connected codery you have no choice but to be well connected the distance of travel between Grand Bay and Bayou La Batre is one of a blink and you'll miss it there are several ways of course and there's several many many ways to get lost in the Grand Savannah Bay Nature Preserve which is the bottom takes up three quarters of the bottom of the actual territory and it's not even considered by locals as part of the Princeton it doesn't really consider yourself part of the domain the prince even turns a blind eye to most things that happen in The Preserve the reason for that is because Forest Preserve National Wildlife and the border patrol use that area for Maneuvers for exercises for studying various local Alabama specifics flora and fauna it is too heavily trafficked by mortal authorities for Kendra to play their willy-nilly there are night Maneuvers held by the coast guards in the Nature Preserve so a kindred foolish enough to venture too deeply off the major roads well into the forest preserve is asking for trouble and as Princess Molina says any fool who asks for trouble it would be rude of us not to deliver it unto them wouldn't it perfect [Music] all right with that I think I've got all the information I really need um beautiful well I've got all my questions answered excellent and without too much further Ado until we don't I'd like to say first and foremost thank you all for this opportunity to yet again enjoy this hobby of ours as many times as we are beaten down by the bane of one of our daily assistances as many times as we get caught up in the very real dramas and traumas of Our Lives we often forget how important play is once we reach a certain age it's typically found on why don't you grow up get a real job all right so I can die sooner the truth of the matter is you don't get old and stop playing you get old because you stop playing whatever that play is and this hobby of ours is our play so thank you thank you thank you and without continuing to a do down the road this is officially the coast after dark first one shot hide and seek we open on a as usual warm Alabama winter night what that means for the Kindred is that it's still freaking cold cold is while not as immediately dangerous as the sun or as distant cousin fire cold is death and they should know because they are constantly always cold they are not the quick any longer though they still are ambulatory they still resurrect for the night but cold is dangerous because it creeps into the bones and radiates out into the muscles freezing you in space freezing you where you are crushing and destroying as the ice grows tissues obliterated heart literated mind obliterated cold is the one thing that once it sets in you must do everything you can to minimize its hold on you to break free because like [Music] frogs in a pot but the heat slowly turned up you get cold you don't realize how soon you will be dead because it happens so slowly and just creeps over you there's rumors that Mount Everest is not taller simply because of the many many many hikers and climbers that have had their last moments atop its Summit but because Kindred foolish enough to believe that they can travel by night and can do the unthinkable and need to find a place to beat the Beast go to the most inhabitable location explore ways to stuff the Beast into a dark little corner and never let it out have found themselves alone on a Mountainside with cold creeping into their limbs and before they know it they are joining all of those many that they've escorted into the other side they slipped across the Shroud and don't know how to get back that very much is why even on as warm and wet and humid as an Alabama winter is it's still a danger to be out in the cold [Music] with that realization in mind and knowing that winter is just beyond the pale and knowing that winter is still very much winter each of the members of the coder have received a summons while there is no official Elysium especially as a word has been given that within 100 miles of the pentarkey there aren't to be any celebrations there and to be any distractions drawing the attention of anyone from the council no archons none of their hounds nothing that would attract attention into the area there is a changing of guards there across the border and as is always squeezed in as they are between Alabama and Louisiana you kind of have to either obey or declare an actual action against them so princess Molina Prince Melina to our face is acquiescent she is accepting of that request especially being as if rumor is to be believed the old man Ambrose is no longer the chief pentark he is not the leader of that little codery of princess that rule that coastline it's the Mad one it's Prince Christopher it's Bill as she's been heard to say offhandedly for those who are not aware that that's who she's referring to when she speaks of that devil bill that is whom she speaks of his efforts his retainers his allies his reach has occasionally crossed the border most times he is cordial enough to notify her most times he is smart enough to not raise her ire because they're more than one way to wage a war seldom is a need to come down to the loss of immortality or the loss of death of existing life there are many ways and Prince Melina knows quite a few of them and she has used them on no few occasions when those fools across the border dare to attempt to disrespect what she has brought to all the same knowing that it's not Elysium and receiving the summons knowing that her drivers will be along shortly where is everyone and let's start in alphabetical order [Music] okay so Jasmine the princess assignments the prince will send the driver sooner rather than later so knowing that there's a driver on their way to me um I would probably find myself in the opening hours of this scene I'm finishing up a bit of business uh at the rehabilitation center you know getting together with the night nurses and establishing a routine letting them know that unfortunately I've got some family problem coming up and I'm gonna have to step out for the night and you know I'm putting in my time on whatever application it is they've got nowadays um and I'll probably be loitering around the the front of the building waiting for the the driver to arrive um [Music] uh there's no point in in playing dangerous with this normally uh I like to be punctual especially whenever it's a seven from the prince uh you don't want to keep them waiting so if they're sending a man for me then I will meet that person right at the gate sounds like a plan [Music] Marella [Music] all right so um she would be at her business which is for um all in drug rehabilitation [Music] probably ensured that the doctors are getting paid so she will be speaking with the accountants making sure all the money that came in had been distributed and then she would wait until maybe three to five minutes to when the car should be there and then she would cut that bit condition with the accountant short and wait outside under the shielded vestibule and wait for the car to pull up and Trish [Music] is typically kind of a free spirit but she'd probably be could be out taking like pictures with her camera trying to do it like landscape photos and things like that um then looking at her watch realizing what time it is going to the place where she told the car they can move her because obviously she's learned like the rest don't keep her friends waiting making sure that even though it's not nothing fancy she's wearing or whatever she's at least presentable her low-rise jeans secure and I'm not too much jewelry going on things tucked away her dreads pulled up high in a bun out of her way and then yeah she's just kind of waiting got her little bag slung over her shoulder [Music] I couldn't even say everyone is as prompt as possible and usually when the prince sends the summons it's a large vehicle it one yes there's infrastructure in the area and the roads are fairly well kept they don't even use salt during the winter it is sand so the roads aren't eating up there aren't huge potholes but when they do develop well they're enough to swallow half the world when they do so oftentimes a lot of the shortcuts a lot of the paths of ease is in fact off-road so most of the prince's vehicles are designed for that maneuverability big large monstrous SUVs which cost several fortunes to keep the fleet of vehicles operational it usually comes in handy when some of those big Hollywood types need small town footage and they'll send their teams and their b-reels and all of those lesser Hollywood personages rarely is someone of notable stature visiting but when they do Prince Molina's Fleet of vehicles is often one of the first things that is used it keeps the money coming in and while Hollywood is usually the go-to because they just throw money at everything far more than you would expect for a simple thing as just filming the outside of one's home there are other local dignitaries that also use this Prince Molina's Fleet of vehicles for exorbitant raids of course but you know one hand washing and strangling the other what business is all about after all right so you all aren't surprised when the off-road tired heavy SUVs pull up each of them won in dark blue one in almost gray dark enough to still be considered black but just light enough that there's a minor difference the other a black on black model that is dark enough that the light seems to be absorbed by it other three vehicles which do you all believe was the one that picked you all up hmm so [Music] I I feel I feel like the blue one came for me I feel like the the blacker than black is really professional it's really it's really like the the high-end executive model you know the one that's sent to fetch the very creme de La Creme and being two years old as I am I feel as if I I was relegated to the light blue bottle [Music] that kind of like you still yet to prove yourself foreign for you we're not sending everything for you blacker than black I found it's really blacker than black okay do tell well because out of all of them whether I identical the colors themselves is kind of a reflection of what we see of ourselves and that's why she wants to send them just to see how we see ourselves and of course the black and black is the professional model she wants to see what we think of ourselves in relation to her and since that is the most professional that is the most costly of colors because I think you're picking the uh what is that paint um the bracket in black paint is the most expensive one and it's the hardest to keep up that one would be the one that this character will get into improve a point that yeah I am worth that one [Music] oh yeah I guess this is kind of stuck with what's left and she is perfectly fine with that Trish is very much a go with the flow so the gal understandable and we know that the rehabilitation center that Jasmine works at is in Grand Bay who else is actually in Grand Bay or who is in Biola betray would probably be more towards the value she doesn't typically like to leave too far from home Marella Grand Bay that's where most of the tourist is and it actually has the best view for the rehabilitation center furthest away from everything I don't want to be too close don't want some junkie sneaking out to go get high or anything I love that I'm in physical rehab and you're in drug rehab [Music] certainly is the same you all are escorted from both ends of the domain both north and south from right along the coast to right along the border which is officially 10 Interstate 10 which cuts across and cuts all the way if you get on 10 you can literally go all the way to New Orleans though most folks in Alabama don't give two shits about going to New Orleans that's them things at them other folks do we ain't got time for that there's plenty of life and plenty of party right down here in Alabama I tell you that so needless to say you all converge from north and south towards a middle point along the um 188 the coastal connection you all draft roughly about 10 15 minutes to find yourselves exiting off of I-88 188 onto uh Grand Garden Drive now that leads around a relative small community all of its own the grand Garden area is mostly for retirees and suitably well-off individuals the homes aren't make mansions and they are in fact retirement homes though one would be hard-pressed to tell the difference as you pass states that are designed to look like your typical average Americans Suburban two bedroom one and a half bath but multiplied by several hundred and occasionally several thousand square feet the grand Garden drive all the way around to the one rule that leads off of it Grand Circle there are only three official homes on Grand Circle and four official properties one of them being the church which sits there and all of us are splending Glory while there's not in fact a mega church it does have a helipad so you take Grand Circle all the way to the end watching all of this lavish Southern finery Ghana is the Antebellum columnies and have taken care of homes that are in need of paint effort and carpentry no the homes here and the air here has a certain echelon a grand Circle all the way to the end to the last property and like all of the old movies from MGM Universal that seems as if you step back into black and white and there's Eerie cracking of thunder and lightning in the distance you can hear the howl of wolves just out of sight that's how it feels though the home is brightly lit it's a pastel blue Castle banana actual castle of stone and Mortal but it is wide tall high they're clearly areas where if you were so inclined you could place the guards along the rampers view when driving to the home neatly feel point every person that is not a towering 10 or 12 feet tall small the doorway is nine inches thick the door itself the wood that's used comes from the area it is a hickory that they use to make the door the Hindus are these huge copper knockers and the windows lit up with people you see long red party dresses Blazers people laughing and enjoying shrimp cafes and holding glasses of wine horse is manicured and you see that your vehicles are not the only vehicles of such everyday finery there are long stretch rivians there are several thousand dollar SUVs there's a few Teslas which make your skin crawl because they are definitely signs of new money and in the mix of all of these vehicles there's also an actual honest to goodness Yellow Cab there is a Ford F-150 and you see several golf carts parked along the edge your driver moves around the drive dropping you off at the front door where honest to goodness footmen though they aren't called that these days are standing and waiting to escort you all in wonderful so um stepping out of the uh out of the vehicle you know talking back into the cab for a moment just you got to make sure to take one of those supplements daily I understand that we all work at night but vitamin D is very important yeah yeah you may be compensated in some other farm and fashion that'll keep you a little bit more healthy but there's a difference between being alive and being alive okay I buy these rather frequently so just keep the bottle and just turns around and greets the foot and oh hello um wow this is a lot more fancy then I felt we weren't supposed to have parties you aren't supposed to have parties Madam but mistress Molina will see you in the library [Music] all right well thank you very much um I suppose I'll be on my way then no point in keeping anybody waiting you all are arriving roughly at the same time so there's a line just slowly gently for me behind you of two other individuals stepping out of SUVs and just um you know looking back is the two vehicles pull up noticing the similar make and model um as uh as her too well-known friends members uh Papa and just kind of uh oh I'm gonna get out of this vehicle I just flat look at the stain it's a driver you really couldn't drive any faster because I have to think that I'm supposed to do tonight any faster come on don't be like that to the help you know what happens when you do that they end up burying you before I bury the help that's always fun she looks back at the driver [Music] and forever I'm doing fine doing lovely I had this um thing that happened the other day but that resulted itself really quickly and to suffice to say I was Satisfied by the end of it uh looks past them towards the other truck it seems it seems able is here too so it's all three of us then if you guys are called here for the same thing we're supposed to get to the library [Music] anyway Library let's go then yes let's get to it the footman opens the door there was a game about that equipment opens the door and you can tell that it is in fact some effort and it's hard to not [Music] realize what Prince marolla considers of the help there are hundreds thousands of door openers and closers that would make that task considerably easier [Music] and yet she has this hinge-hung monstrosity and they have to open it manually for each of the guests that have arrived and good gauging by the activity you all see through the front window there's at least 20 maybe 25 people inside and you know that all of them didn't arrive together which means these two footmen have had to pull and torque and open these massive doors at least counting you all 26 29 times this evening the train is obvious though they keep a plastic face the tightening of the jaw is all that actually betrays how much effort this actually is [Music] then the insult to it all the injurious part is once the doors are open because of how they are hung they have to maintain their pressure against the door until you all enter [Music] foreign just kind of uh as as the the realization of how exactly the prince treats the help settles in just kind of looks back over to noella's like okay never mind I guess we've got to adopt your way of going about it then um I'll let you talk to the help I'm not too good at being rude to people in the surface industry and all that last of course you earlier walks well very slowly almost ungodly slowly for her speed to the door Waits until they have written nice and opened looks at them walks in let everybody walk in and then she asked to put exactly how much weight does that or [Music] we wouldn't know Madam I'm sorry um it's uh considerable [Music] so how many times have you had to open the door today uh you lose count after a while I see I see uh it's the mattress at the library yes uh your uh cars we were told to uh the library it's down a halter to the right gotcha gotcha I understand it walks past them wait until they actually everyone walks in and then walk back to the door like I didn't open it again oh aren't you a [ __ ] once the doors begin to close it takes considerably more effort to try to stop it unlike modern conveniences such as you know sensors to keep you from losing fingers the doors aren't exactly made for that and as you get closer you realize that they've already slammed their fingers a couple of times there's the pinky of one glow that seemed a little softer and larger than its mate on the other hand the other one has two fingers that he clearly don't bend the way that they once used to you know that it's only been through their skill they have not actually lost the entire digit and your actions caused them too [Music] allow it to close and then begin to open it ma'am you need something [Music] you know I was gonna get something it was never mind and walk back in [Music] just a kind of very a very pained and and and feeling pity expression just kind of Whispers back to one of the the dormant very much like a you could this I believe in you and then turns to keep heading towards the leper foreign as you all make it to the library the whole is in of itself a work of complete fiction though believably so there's pictures of man Bella no princess uh Molina on the beach the sun's setting in the distance there's pictures by Prince Alina down in the bayou right there on the end of The Wharf as uh the boat from [Music] Forrest Gump is sailing during its test run right there off of um the state docks that little launch there where you can look out at the bay at the Gulf of Mexico as well as the river that runs north from there she's standing there with the mayor of Bayou La Batre she's standing there with several of the council members of the city council she has pictures of her with nearly each and every one of them and all but two are either at sunset or clearly during the day [Music] and then the final dash of this is just too good to be true is her standing at the prowl of the Black Pearl the completed Black Pearl that was built right here is and the Sun is sitting behind her and for a brief moment that picture seems the most accurately real image of the prince it's our dark Windswept hair is pulled back from her face dress that she's wearing billowy enough that it causes when the wind that was blowing in the picture for it to seem to caress along her as if she was always meant to be aboard a ship storming some beach or leading some group of Buccaneers against another ship she looks as if she belongs in the age of sale if that's impossible those creatures are during the day that's clearly not possible the sun kills you all and finally made to the library you're expecting a huge old thing with shells lined full of books but instead there's several couches there's an honest to goodness foosball table not far from the window just behind the drape well you can't see it from the outside because of the trait but it's there and several armchairs the walls are not lined with books the walls are just simple wood paneling here and there you see one or two books on the on an end table but there aren't shows lining the floor to ceiling there aren't any other signs that this is in fact a library yeah that's clearly where you were directed [Music] and just um leaning over to her her colleagues just so do we just walk up and say hi in this matter or she she seems to be busy talking to somebody you know I'm sure she'll get to us when she's already noticed we're here I'm sure I'm sure she wouldn't waste our time I'm sure that she would be a dear and once she's done talking she would speak with us at least Lefty Hope anyway awesome okay um so just hang out and wait then but you can always ask one of the other helper with uh whether or not uh is she taking meeting because she did bring us out here so it's a good guess that she has something that she wants to do get off of her uh chest as it worked okay um and she'll just flag down I suppose a uh a waiter or some some help of a form and just um let them know that they're they're here to see uh The Prince and um to alert her to come to that they are there whenever she is free of whatever business she is currently engaged in oh out there doing all this fish this kind of stuff so it's uh kind of looks at the amount of people that the prince has around them and with absolutely no Truth at all right we're here laughs would you be so kind you know what no I'm not gonna have you roll I'll roll for you mean one quick second I had to own over to there we're gonna look there in that Dash Channel and it's going to be standard DC what is the result of that standard DC foreign [Music] politics or StreetWise [Music] [Applause] I believe your etiquette is three correct [Music] Street wise it's also a three correct all right um [Music] there are certain things that demand redress these have been beaten into you several hundred times over during your Living Years and a few times after when crossing the very real and invisible cased lines in any setting one must be either completely unassailable or prepared to bring the entirety of the structure down even if it's done empirically Trish would be hard-pressed to say that she was willing or able to do either yet there's some moments some situations where being bold by throwing the dice one could hope for a measure of good I like your moxie [Music] toy kid you got spunk or any one of those mini epitaphs to say that while fortune favors the Bold and The Brave that you have enough of both being bold and brave to dare however this is not one of those situations there is an immediate pausing of things there is a record skip moment most of the eyes look in your direction and instead of being uphold instead of being a Gog or aghast the most senior woman present who happens to be clearly one of the senior staff the sort of person that is middle management keeping those above in their place and those Below in their place who you are expecting to saunter over and give you the proper tongue lashing of your place she looks at you and in that moment of her staring from your shoes all the way up you you can feel her eyes crawling over you to your head and back down you can literally hear though nothing's being said and it's not even worth the time he turns back to Tiffany of the other guests please oh it's it's okay Trish I'm just gonna pass her on the shoulder a forever and she knows we're here now yeah I'm not sure if that's a good thing well I mean we did accomplish our goal [Music] um stuffy ass party anyway it goes to find the seat flounces herself over into a chair [Music] oh well um I suppose while we've got some time uh Noella you want to do some some schmoozing there's a lot of really important people here from the look of it lose her voice all of these people are here just specifically to kiss her ass they're not really worth smoothing but we can try I mean it kind of leans back in and Whispers isn't that exactly what our job is too that's what she hopes I know all right well um let's get into socializing I suppose we'll go and collect Trish once uh once we're called upon and as always time is the best of forever timing and pacing and the ebb and flow of things is always working counterproductive to what we want need and stymings our understanding of which is which for ourselves as Trish settles in a nearby chair and [Music] two others Jasmine and Marella begin to stalk itemize their prey their sizing people up by their apparent wealth versus their actual wealth it is in this in this that is easier for them to understand that there's the appearance of wealth and then there is that real wealth the guy who's just comfortable he's not dressed in any logos or any well-known tailors the woman who refuses to wear this big huge glittering thing but the small piece that she is wearing actually have impeccable Clarity the cut is designed to catch every flickering faint Touch of light versus these huge gaudy necklaces and bangles and Bobs and earrings that are huge [Music] but aren't as impeccably cut styled nor have as much clarity there's you know the slick back hair guy who is perfectly designed to have the appearance of someone who has wealth who stands out as such but you know looking him up and down and realizing that those are actually brown shoes with black polish that he is not in fact as wealthy as he thinks he is nor nearly as wealthy as he presents and as you all are sizing up to get the other gas and important dignitaries princess Molina appears there's a moment where the light seem to dim just a little it happens suddenly what happens and what you I think it happened slowly but the truth of the matter is it happened faster than one would actually be able to put a finger on and all the lights dim just enough that that chandelier over her head as she moves into the room seems to be a spotlight and she offers touch here and a touch there a handshake here smile there and even though she's doing so her eyes are clearly on you three and she's making her way across the room a soft smile and incline of the head a one-armed hug here and a double hand handshake there as she but I'll be with you in a second of course let me take care of a few moment I yes I of course it's so lovely to see you again I I will we will speak about that shortly and oh my goodness I you have chosen impeccably in the cut but I'm just simply impressed thank you so much I will be with you in a moment and yes yes hi yes of course yeah yes yes of course as soon as I take care of a few of the managers there's quite a few guests that I need to speak with I'll be with you in a second thank you so very much and as she crosses to you there are several eyes going in your general direction there are several new rolls of attention and several why do they have there because they're like the help and she's there amidst you three chain clients are having ingredients in each of you individually first and foremost uh Trish whatever the artist is lovely to see you Jasmine then Marella if you all will accompany me out onto the balcony she moves towards the window which you realize is not just a floor-to-sealy window but is in fact a door outside as well you expect the doors to open just to get out of her way and yet she actually bothers to open it herself a rare moment of her coming off of the mountain as it were of social Prestige and Power that simple act showing who she actually is for all the traipse and the trappings of wealth and social status she is very much a Hands-On person exiting out into the Alabama night she waits for you all to exit and closes the door behind you all right very quickly very we kind of made a bit of a scene for ourselves there is now room to make up follow along thank you I know follows quickly that too quickly away she's able to like be right behind her but just fast enough where she's behind uh Jasmine [Music] obviously and acknowledged them they kind of smiled instead and they are falling behind keeping faith with Marella [Music] I did expect more of your particular group of Kindred to arrive the invitations weren't properly sent just for my clarity you all did receive the summons correct of of course um YouTube same right yes it was such an important event that I vacated my business just to make sure that I could be here on time again I have no idea what could be keeping those other ones but you know at the very least we wouldn't dare ignore such an important summons from such an important lady that is music to my ears now if you all receive the summons uh and chose not to arrive Just Between Us what do you think would be the most accurate manner of dealing with that clear-cut insult I would say a very quick a very efficient um disposal that's at least from my point of view you give them any more time and any more personalization then well you're implying that they're worth the effort and worth the thought oh you see interesting quick efficient perfectly well I would never contradict my good friend here I kind of think that it should be served cold oh I would say maybe a few months of starving their businesses or and now this may be a bit Petty so if you want a grain of salt perhaps starving their food supply for a Time so that they can have the same feeling of want and desire that you feel they should have actually attended you or a set just to kind of uh very very light melodic chuckle and just oh no Ella if you expect us to be able people like us to be able to to have the prince experience anything but to stay in the you're really looking highly upon us which I thank you for the compliment but I'm not going to erase myself up that high true and that's true definitely [Music] and Jasmine it doesn't answer the Restriction that was waiting to see what the other two said uh Trish looks like she's thinking she's kind of thinking on it I mean really they ain't really nobody but if you wanted him here then it was important that they showed up or anything to show up and then it should be punished for another gas I see that is quite curious all three of our burgeoning Future Leaders believe that the slight for various reasons is worthy of the attention necessary to run them down to thank you punish them because they chose anything and everything except for their necessary respect of their betters that is interesting your sires have done you well and your time here in Grand Bay is clearly proving that they were right about you all it was not an easy decision to come to it was not an easy decision to carry out because on one hand of course there is the idea of the care and maintenance scent and put into inviting someone else into your home your Hearth your kindness and your hospitality and on the other there is those of value not only themselves but the system in which they are allowed to exist and thus those who can't show the proper respect have no value [Music] I may be always simplifying things but time is of the essence after all yes while being true that if you are important they will wait someone who is important doesn't waste others time so I invite you all here this evening for that question predominantly but also I have news [Music] this evening there are various festivities happening around the country and some closer than others and that gives many of us the audacity to attempt you serve big control like the foundation work for later attacks sliding our batters and otherwise behaving as if they are mice and the cat is away [Music] you all are by far the most promising of our fellows here in Grand Bay as such each of you having distinguished yourself for one and she looks at you Trish or looking from Jasmine to Marella or another have distinguished yourself and have earned for any and all of the transgressions that have happened have been believed to have been swept under the carpet and measure of my calm my peace my forgiveness boring your efforts in assuring us all for your loyalty to the idea of us after all One day things will change and you may be in a similar situation as myself currently there are appearances to maintain Alibis to ensure hold sway for those of you familiar with Grand Bay Cemetery you are aware that it is in fact a shelf company and a shell company for various Enterprises many of our circulatory system members use it as a place to the best themselves of remains to hide the efforts hence the reason why the dog grooming is very close as well as Starlight Stables those companies [Music] act as forward agents for us kindred [Music] they've had several disturbing sightings you all are to retrieve their videographic information from them and assured them that they don't need to worry any longer as well as most importantly ensure that none of those who have viewed seeing or otherwise utilize that information for their own potential gain such as leveraging the interaction [Music] live to regret that decision unless of course there is another option that you all think might be as judicious thank you [Music] wonderful um and we will make sure to use our best judgment in that regard though of course the the most simple and direct and true to your word uh response is the first of considerations we'll see what the situation when we get there and I suppose this side how exactly to handle those individuals in a case-by-case basis fight a very succinct way of raising that but before we go few points across the lawn South West from where you all are standing it's mostly dark there's a few trees blowing gently and they form the bases of our tree line which well this house you're maintains the level of privacy that our other life potentially nosy neighbors compared through being led from the tree line [Music] [Applause] you see Marcelo acancio he's one of your coder members and he's been dead exactly three months with him do you see [Music] doe who has been amongst the Kindred for the last 30 years you knew something was going on between them two between those two because out of nowhere being so young as he has been he's been making considerable moves [Music] with his small shipping business that he inherited seems as if Dove was puppeting and parroting him to him for a takeover of the other [ __ ] companies nearest him causing an uproar in the economy and they both deign to not be here not to arrive when you all did [Music] you see them there at the tree line being escorted out of the tree line [Music] door preparing to open it I don't see why you all wouldn't watch the efforts of your previous instances and what the lack of my consideration does for you and she opens the door the moment that she opens the door Dove is beheaded it's not an easy thing to behead an adult the bones it's in this the age the muscles all of that gets in the way but it was done so smoothly that it was clear I packed his hand especially standing and as the head is still held marcelo's face is forced into it he's held there his beast and him having a very long very quick conversation and him giving over to that watching him slobber and fight to breathe knowing you all don't have to is a very interesting lesson as long dead as you all have been there's always something new something else to consider in a moment of blind panic torn between his beast and what little bit of humanity a 21 year old has he chose to fight to breathe as his Beast fights to consume every drop of that spurting glorious mate [Music] it's a very kind of enraptured shock like you're watching it like you're watching the the Prelude to a car crash the um a small a small parting of her lips is she's staring out at this uh gives a gives a very very tiny window to the flicking of uh into the flicking of her tongue over the end of her Fang watching this uh this display both in memory of the the apparent uh crimes and affronts that which the prince had mentioned being forgiven in the past and also at the the knowledge of what exactly uh their their once friend is dining [Music] it's a mixture of almost jealousy and also horror it plays across her expression [Music] and she is both thankful that she's not the one out there but there's a part of her that very much wants to be though not for most of the reason that he is out there [Music] well girls um she says after a few moments I suppose we'd better not mess up [Music] looks with cold and eyes [Music] that was a very miraculous cut blade was impossibly sharp I'm impressed that was nice I wish to not be on the end of that blade but I hope that one day I'll feel it again yeah yeah yeah let's hope that um let's hope that you are the one watching it being used and not the one it is used upon so let's let's go back over what it was we were supposed to do right get the CCTV information from the uh the dog grooming place and the Stables nearby the cemetery correct and uh deal with anybody who has viewed slash used or attempted to in use said information am I missing anything here [Music] oh don't forget the possibility that if they do have the judicial poll to deal with anything that would be problematic all right and the ability to patch up any boo-boos that we come across wonderful I don't know how much longer that little display is gonna go on out there but I have the sinking feeling that if we leave prematurely we're going to be in a little bit of trouble [Music] true but we probably want to get there those uh tapes quickly because that could be problematic if someone else was to get them before we did true all right I'm gonna have to err on the side of caution here and uh see that we should probably get to our job and uh hope that little Dove out there gets uh some form of Mercy I suppose we'll find out if we come back and he's not well the devil's not here then we know that he didn't well I mean if they kill him that's a form of Mercy or so many so many worst things they could uh okay we're just gonna keep moving on because thinking about that is not making my mood any better the fact that he's [ __ ] being forced to feed upon is immortal love being freshly created there's such a strong need for any sense of normal normality towards your former resistance there's a want for the idea that when you die for the day that you're just going to sleep that you know getting blood is just like getting you know I don't know a rare steak you can survive on animals or you can you know steal from the hospital you could do things that won't have you be the monster that crawls around your head he is still in the denial phase of grief of his own death and his only brightness is only Glimpse that there's a change there's a shot there's an option there's a one in 100 million chance that he will not be as every other kindred was beheaded before him and he's been forced to drink curvature there's a succinct balancing of scales there yet there's also an increased monstrousness to it is both fair that punishment needed to be needed and somehow excessively cruel because he's not just fighting his Beast he's [Music] being killed by his hope that he was not the sort of being that would do exactly as he's doing now gagging to breathe as his beast and he lapsed at the blood of his once potentially immortal love [Music] just uh those Concepts uh floating about the the the thoughts of the Kindred there this starts dredging up old and terrible memories of the the uh events immediately prior unto being allowed to join the illustrious Clan uh La Sombra and their traditions in this uh this moment where poor Dove out there is losing just about everything that he held on to for for any kind of of safety insanity and and clear thought very much reminds Jasmine of having everything taken away from her just before being forced to to drag it back with tooth and Claw and whatever else she could use there's a there's a spark of small hope that maybe just maybe the prince being the the epitome of La Sombra that she is this is an attempt teach a lesson rather than to them only but also to Dove so that he might claw back and drag back to himself some meaning in Life or at least in this unlife now that effectively it's all been taken from him [Music] oh was that of the female yes oh I am a [ __ ] idiot it's not quite but we understood who you meant you we understand that you are in fact looking speaking of Marcelo we understand that marcelo's pain and suffering with being forced to well drink down and choke on his Love and Hope and misunderstanding as to what sort of monster he is thank you for the correction Ernie um although I suppose now they are one entity anyways so next time we see Marcelo let's call him Dove and it'll be great all right now back to the seat I almost thinking the same thing actually but that's neither here's North there um all right does anybody have a vehicle here or do you think that they'll loan us one well let me pull the question to you all right I really want to be indebted to the price well there's a there's actually a kind of a double-edged sword to the whole thing about Dent um the more that you owe somebody sure yeah the more that you are indebted to them and the more that you're practically a servant unto them but also the more reason they have to keep you alive or the other end of the coin the more they can use you and take away from you but but yours yeah I've been down the bottom of that Barrel trust me but optimism is optimism so do you got an idea um personally I was thinking we can get a cab because there is a Yellow Cab here oh that didn't seem out of place do you think that was do you think that was specifically put there for us find out yeah that did feel really out of place all right well let's uh let's go give it a shot and see if the cab driver just so happened to be waiting on us answer the cap all right we'll uh yeah we'll head back inside and make our way out there again what I'm gonna do is we're gonna I'm gonna head to the camp see if it's empty and if it's not empty go back into the party and then try to find the person who drives the cap the not being too interested in the walk walk a tunnel Rod walk walk walk turn around walk walk uh you know Jasmine's just gonna probably hang out in the the entryway until uh Marella figures out exactly what the [ __ ] is happening whether or not they do have a ride I just want them to open the door some more such a [ __ ] while all of that discussion was going on with the prince still outside watching them or had the prince already gone back inside expecting that they would watch the prince entered back inside closed the door behind her leaving you all to watch understood uh the whole time thing kind of just stood there quietly watching the whole thing because attrition is very much composed and resolved and it's like that sucks but it's not happening to me so we're good um no but it's happening to your code rebate and no hmm rule number one don't get caught exactly and here's the thing with nutritious already displayed understanding of etiquette and StreetWise and the way that Kindred Society is built upon these interior tribes the Camarillo the anarchs spot the Ashira the many courts of the one why all of these tribes all of these organizations there is a hierarchy and a simple understanding blood in and blood out you are what you've been accepted into and you represent them as much as they represent you to others not in your particular tribe not but in your particular organization and even though you all are part of the Grand Bay Bayou La Batre area you all are also recognized and understood as colder him now most cauteries everywhere else in the world are teams of Kindred groups of Kindred bound together for a particular task whether that was been assigned to them or just like mines here in the South that ain't the case you are your family and your family is you and that understanding extends to the idea of codery it's not just a freshly embraced fool getting his comeuppance it is not just a [Music] um 30 year old three decade year old Kindred meaning they're just due those are two members of your codery who represented you all to the Kinder community at Large there those are two members of your tribe [Music] who represented you all as near do well folks it would be hard to ignore the glaring flag that is being waived right there if the news reached the prince's ear having them already ready to act who else has heard who else understands that you all are a group of young near the well fools out to ruin yourselves and the princess hospitality who else knows that you all are all but meat for the picking because you keep what you kill and well you shouldn't do a thing doesn't mean you won't do a thing provided you can get away with it but [Music] Trish you look like you're a little bit lost in thought [Music] thinking about the fact that if they got caught up people know we were with them so what are they thinking we doing well I imagine that if we get this job done for the prince I mean it'll if we get it done well um it might help to alleviate that stain a little bit I guess I I don't know I don't I'm not entirely sure how this whole thing works all right you can put water over pan but the pan still on the paper yeah but like it ink out of paper right a paper yeah oh wait a second no that's a horrible implication no personally I kind of took it as kind of a mild affront to our codery as a whole yes they did mess up yes they got punished but if you look at it as a wider View the fact that she is instead everyone else can be thinking how close can they get to us and do the same thing without incurring her wrath which obviously because she did it she don't think very highly of us in general you have to thought I mean I would hope that's not the case um if anything it just puts a hell of a lot more Rush on us getting this job done good and and well because if we are on the prince's bad side it's a very very important thing that we fix that and you know at the very least it's sharp so it only hurt a moment yeah quite dead eyes we we kind of didn't say to do that didn't we I mean not exactly that but she asked us our opinion and we told her to [Music] basically to do that [Music] well except for what happened to poor Marcelo that's um yeah that's that's that's definitely what you told her to do yeah but I like cruelty for cruelty it's fake so you know what else you want I suppose that has its merits um well I mean Trish you know this whole game a lot better than I do uh is there would doing this gig even even really help our Public Image or am I going to have to oh no wait this is perfect it just ignored me how do we fix this I'm sorry you you both talked at the same time and I am unfortunately a little bit scatterbrained what [Music] plus you probably just have to do what we promise to do because anytime you break your promise hey it doesn't help how you stand in things obviously all right so yeah okay cool um that works and what were you saying Pat said perhaps we should go and get the ape and be done with it then we can go about our lives and to the next time she rings the bell yeah yeah I'm figuring that if the if the image put out there is that you know we are group tends to not do what the prince says and is Leslie going to get killed for it the best thing we could do is represent ourselves as people that are going to do it with the princess and are not going to be killed for it or make ourselves indispensable to the prince that's always a good option yeah actually that we are having in this conversation as we are heading towards the parking lot so that we're not wasting time I was hoping so as well so you guys are walking and talking I'm if that's what they're for that's what they're for that means that you are outside in the parking area where the vehicles who have been parked by the delays are means that you all have walked through the party out the door past the footman who are operating as housemen into the open night now Kendra naturally paranoid they are ridiculously paranoid at nearly every moment of the day especially when they are dead to the world when the Beast has more perches on their bodies than their Minds so as you all near the taxi your Radars even with you all will focus on the conversation as pinging things getting Moving Too Close things are you know anything that stands out anything that's catching the eye and nothing does until you get to the cab all the other vehicles well most of the other vehicles have a level of tint on the Windows most of the other vehicles clearly cause an ungodly amount of funds just to keep operational the taxi however there's another store entirely it is a Chevrolet wide body steel constructed monstrosity it has been washed and cared for it's waxed there's no dust on it the wheels the tires that you can see are made for off-road it has functional and still in place honest to goodness hubcaps not the plastic stuff that you've seen on the cars these days but actual honest to goodness chromed hubcaps the interior because of the non-tinted windows is clearly visible it has a full bench seat in the rear sword that makes it clear that is easier to clean not there solely for Comfort because you're not expecting to be there for too long the front is a little more comfortable it still is a full bench seat door to door and as you stare into the window looking for signs of life it is clear that this is not anywhere near a kit this is not a fiberglass over good old-fashioned actual steel constructed Vehicles this is the vehicle because the windows have an actual [Music] handle to roll the window down there's no power anything in this in the interior of this car guys why does it seem like I'm staring at a lot of money perhaps thinking that someone can't be around Electronics because this car is so old they're the only thing that's electronic is the phone in their pocket I mean yeah that's a thing that is a thing but well let's um is is the driver in looking Left Right Center it is clear that the vehicle is here by itself is there like an attendant nearby that we could we could potentially ask there's a person moving between the cars cigarette in hand I can't [ __ ] believe it are you [ __ ] serious [ __ ] now my God hello what why are you hi are you guys part of the help why are you dressed like this uh we're not part of the help but thank you for being the second person to mention that um you know we were wondering we're we're here to do a job I suppose we are part of the help we're here to do a job for the the owner I was wondering if she specifically denoted setting aside a potential vehicle for us or a ride out of here or if we are to simply walk knowing that [ __ ] is gonna have you walk all right lovely what um thank you for letting me know also uh probably best to watch your tongue why the [ __ ] would I do that I don't care about some fixer-bitch outline lined up with the mayor the mayor's on his way out anyway how many people are out here four this far out into the parking area there's just four there's you three in him why would I call you a [ __ ] cab there's one right there it's a driver of set cap that's right here she looked at him with this thing well clearly you're just as bad as this [ __ ] that that's throwing this [ __ ] shindig how do you not know [ __ ] Hollywood Bob's car how the [ __ ] don't you know me [ __ ] Hollywood Bob the [ __ ] and why are you looking at my car and asking me to call you a cab and it used some [ __ ] comedian I think I'm quite amusing personally but that just could be me so uh Hollywood uh it is the Hollywood Bob right um can we go back can you drive us back to our homes I was thinking more he drives us to the cemetery [ __ ] we can do that as well and you like those freaky girls from that movie the Covenant I'm certain I can enact uh being someone from a very specific movie if things start to go a little bit different so uh no we're not from the Covenant we have a job to do near a cemetery and it would be lovely if you'd be willing to drop us off near there near a cemetery what job are you [ __ ] doing in a cemetery are you there's quite a few jobs what you know what cut that out is suffice to say business is business and unfortunately our business requires a little bit of being near a cemetery you know it's it's a [ __ ] gimmick I'm not really a cab driver right laughs well would you be willing to play along to your role just this once when I do that what's in it for me money you think I'm [ __ ] broke I don't care what the mayor [ __ ] says I'm still gonna keep bringing shows and commercials to our [ __ ] City I don't give a [ __ ] I'm not gonna stand down so we can start supporting local artists [ __ ] local artists and God knows I've done enough of that I don't [ __ ] need your money and I don't need their [ __ ] pity that's true now about this cap ride though [Music] Marella um you wouldn't mind would you Morello are you [ __ ] [ __ ] sick oh okay cool um Hollywood Bob isn't a kindred of renown is he no he's just a local agent who has managed to work as producers I could a producer on about 60 of the films TVs commercials and other related Industries such as music videos that have come through the area [Music] lovely okay [Music] for you foreign [Music] what the [ __ ] are you talking about I'm not a goddamn actor I do this you know what just get the [ __ ] out of the way and he moves to the driveway door and pulls the keys out of his pocket [Music] okay just [Music] I all right that's the thing is Ernie okay I do have seduction I have a lot of Dyson seduction but I don't know if I necessarily feel all right uh all right how about this you don't necessarily care for money um that's perfectly fine you did on the other hand mention something else that you have done a lot of and I would be willing to give that in exchange she says kind of getting closer and um making physical contact in order to kind of give the impression how about this um I give you a ride you give us a ride it might be fun and not just but uh he's already got the keys he's about to give us a ride to the um the cemetery right Hollywood I don't I don't remember him saying anything like that but if that's the case then yeah I would absolutely love to skip the first part of it thank you so you in Marella's counter seduction you stop trying to seduce him effectively because I had a plan going and Morello was like your plan is dumb all right it's no need to roll your uh that's unfortunate that's unfortunate but it's how it plays out um he gives you a very unmanly show a man would not generally assault another if they didn't have to and your touch was as light as a butterfly's kiss it wasn't something that was designed to harm or hurt him so it is very Unbecoming of him to give you a hardship No don't touch me all right God damn it Marella you're the one that [ __ ] this up handle it get the keys foreign ready for that uh you're ready to take us to the cemetery yet what the [ __ ] is wrong with you [ __ ] and he throws the widest wildest left hook [Music] shoots his hand out of the way casually don't do that don't be that guy Hollywood all right would you also kindness go ahead and roll your strength plus Athletics and I will roll his actual attack there he's uh you know he's riled up you guys are giving him a headache he's you know behind the eight ball and no one is working with him and this party where everyone's supposed to be networking and getting something for the community he's walking out with nothing there's enough of that just this idiot idiotic Southern politic [ __ ] he's had enough of him he's brought billions to this area Hollywood is a friend of his and he just [ __ ] these weird Psycho Witch chicks from the 90s are trying to get him to drive them somewhere what the hell how dare they honestly my impression was to pull my [ __ ] knife like 15 [ __ ] minutes ago yeah but God damn it I tried not to be violent [Music] but in that in this case everything was going fine oh Lord Almighty [Music] all right uh I just wanted to add Trish is kind of like out of the way but Trish is going to try to catch his gaze and freeze him in place with eyes of the serpent I wrote in dice here one in case you're wondering like just like earlier you always quite elsewhere rolling live play dice please [Music] all right can I keep SSS what's it says [Music] it didn't happen dang it I yeah I know what a shame [Music] all right uh this is what you get for [ __ ] blocking my social check [Music] are we at Hunger one currently yes okay [Music] well they both rolled three [Music] am I trying to help no you're too far away and eyes Observer means you need to get right in his face and hold this gaze so you kind of need him to be successful so you can slide in they actually catch his gaze by staying in front of him because that means while he doesn't move you don't move and you get a chance to hold him still but in the middle of action which this is he's had enough of you freaky witches like from some 90s TV show movie you know remember the Covenant with those three who were the um the witty ones the Alvarez San Diego with the grandmother who was a witch and there was a prophecy about them turning 18 and gaining their powers you know the Covenant yeah no I've watched it and I quite enjoy the movie it's sad to say so several things happened they typically do fender okay so several things happened at once he is freaked out he's behind the eight ball he's clear that he's stressed and it's clear that well he's not the sort that would normally just go along with you know as much [ __ ] as he talks he's probably had more whiskey nights that he cares to put a finger on and this is another night of frustration and he's probably heading home to his gallon of cheaply purchased whiskey that he puts into a very nice decanter so that he can pour from a very nice decanter and feel better about himself however along the way he has to dispatch these vile villains accosting him and so he throws a shot it shouldn't hit it should at best bump against the shoulder and Tumble off into the darkness like all of his hopes and dreams there's something incredibly special about tonight that he's clearly unaware of and his punch connects the third punch in an entire life that he's ever thrown where he wasn't punching a stuntman the third punch in his life where he meant violence the third punch in his life where he had every intention he lined up the shot mentally and saw himself punching through the goal in his head Marella's face explodes her jaw flying across with spittle and teeth coating the front side of his cab in reality it's just a nice solid left feels it gorilla is not a combatant not in typical sense she is a gladiator in a suit that's the saying goes however pain is not something that she has grown unaccustomed to over the course of her life there have been many moments of pain this is barely in the top 100 but it's still an upfront because it hurts not her physicality but her sense of self and pride he shouldn't have been able to connect she misjudged the timing and that fist that she just missed that just grazed past her outstretched Palm as she swatted at it to knock it away is the injury to the insult because how dare someone who's on the failing declining side of anything put hands on her which would be so kindness to mark one super issue on your health tracker done [Music] Anna looks at him they're either completely dead [Applause] as much as I enjoyed that are we gonna go to this the cemetery now [Music] from behind her narella I was telling you to knock him the [ __ ] out could do that if you if you really want me to perhaps that's just really cold he looks back at Bob so Bob do you want to do this the easy way the hard way [Music] you can't believe that you're still standing there's a third time that he's actually successfully connected you should be obliterated you should be not a factor now while all this is happening Trish you had an intention you had your your engage going are you closing the dishes and actually making eye contact with him or are you still staying in the distance because no skin in the game means that you're not going to be effective oh no she got closer while he's distracted about the hit not doing what it's supposed to she just kind of pops up between him and Marella and connects eyes with him and don't have the my nose for eye to the surfing up what's the system for it could be so kind I think it's something in presents I don't know what the other half of that is I just saw it was available on the page an article give me a second I could pull it up for us there you go do do what's uh why is unfortunately [ __ ] Hollywood Bob turning into our unlock pickable door come on girls we're better than this of course I'm gonna strangle Bob a little bit later uh like I was thinking strangle Bob a little bit now but uh hello strangle pop okay so the disciplines are going to be in where the [ __ ] is the page it is going to be page 185 of the anarch book beautiful moving my way on down making my way downtown walking fast oh that was some flashy lightning right there all right so it is going to be a resistance of oh no okay against Mortals it just happens yeah the victim can escape Paralysis on any turn after the first by spinning a point of willpower and it yeah requires maintained eye contact and the victim is Frozen in place unless they suffer damage that's the system I was looking for um so standing making contact with Bob good old Bob holding him and yourself completely still Trish is there anything you would be on the lookout for anything that you would attempt to I don't know move around for which is is there anything that would cause you to maneuver in this moment or leave this space because they're still talking Marella and Jasmine are still talking they're still having a moment is there anything that would cause you to drop what you're doing to him um by either somebody else or shot at or something that would mean to just like I need to get out of the way so you're standing there yourself in the middle of this lovely lovely warm and yet surprisingly cold Alabama winter night you and Bob lock in a dance a spiral while your minds are moving and swirling your bodies are stocked stole still you two are statues left after Medusa's lunch date [Music] and while that's happening well that is taking place Jasmine Morello I like open the trunk uh take his keys and open the trunk look for anything that we can use to restrain ghetto Bop [Music] why not just put him in the trunk I'm pretty sure being in a trunk is a is a decently good uh restraint I forget which year uh card they put the lock well no it wouldn't be in this one yeah put good old Bob in the trunk looking around making sure no one is around us right now no one came out of the party since we started this introduction or anything like that [Music] and then in the trunk he goes yeah he's a sleazy Hollywood exec with a custom car I doubt that he'd want anyone that he put in the trunk getting out of the trunk I doubt that anyone he puts in the trunk is still alive would you be so kindness go ahead and roll two things for me first your wits plus awareness stand your DC the second thing I need you to roll is strength plus brawl because that grappling is an attack forcibly moved that breaks eyes the reason why I was looking for a Restraint of five more candidate baby we are the restraint [Music] all right so let's see [Music] thank you [Music] give me a second because I'm looking for where the room where we can actually do the whole dice rolling give me one second it's it's right above us a Lobby it's a life play dice I've played knife yeah perfect there you go Nobu with the with the mountainous smack of the inter button there you go uh feel free to throw us away and yeah you are at the prince's private mansion in the middle of nowhere only a paranoid desperate would actually have guards present would have people watching the perimeter keeping an eye on the vehicles many of which are actually quite valuable you expect a theater you expect a theater of security you respect roving guards dressed in white shirts dark ties and dark slacks who are clearly just out of high school and burgeoning into early adulthood and not seeing those clear signs of the theater of security most would call that enough there's no one visible it'll be fine but as you pause paranoidly looking around scanning the tops of cars and looking towards the tree line and turning back and looking towards the princess's abode he realized there's very distinctly it's carved into the folds of your mind what happened with Dove and Marcelo problem being if you put your finger on it if you focus on the details you didn't really see the faces of who belong to that sword those leather gloved hands you remember but you don't remember anyone's face [Music] Oh Come think of it those leather globed hands were they really glows [Music] that was you couldn't tell any skin tone it just seemed like Darkness itself was holding them [Music] you are positive from your paranoid little brain that you are currently being watched that this is being cataloged this is being saved somewhere so yeah your second action go ahead and make that [Music] okay let's go ahead and handle your strength plus Brawl for your place and the reason why Trish the question was asked what would cause you to move because here's the thing there's no way that of all the subtle light touches of being able to Mesmerize someone with your aura that this is not an obvious display to the victim your eye swirl and move and take on a serpentine look for them there's nothing to erase their memory there's nothing to pull it from their head the moment you do so to a mortal or even another Kindred they know that they stared into your snake-like eyes and lost the ability to move they were so fascinated with the terror that that stirred up in them the Adoration that stirred up in them they couldn't do anything they lost control of their limbs so everything is fine and good and as you've stated unless actually acted on you wouldn't break contact and that makes a huge difference as Marella Rose their strength and brawl so that we can see what Bob is working against because the moment she put his hand on oh [ __ ] and The Swinging begins just as wild as that glorious rocky-like left hand just as wild as it would be if you stared into Oblivion and realized that all of the fairy tales that your great aunt told you were true because people's eyes don't turn to snakes eyes and if you land a nice Square left cross someone's supposed to at least move they're supposed to drop and after working on that gloriously uh successful movie you know the Covenant with the three witches from San Francisco and they had their night lighter and they made their kids and there was a property about them turning 18 and getting their powers and then they had to do a sacrifice otherwise they can hold them to the power and well you know it was his claim to fame it was his movie The reason why he started becoming known as Hollywood Bob it was a great movie The Covenant with those three girls in it [Music] so um was it a very is Jasmine able to see this the supernatural display yes Trish popped up under in between Varela and Bob locked eyes with Bob and Bob froze as if he was stoned still so too did Trish and we should just we're still waiting on Marella's uh strength and brawl yep Morello Morelli you put that in lobby no Mike all right well uh Marella did roll um yeah Road and Lobby no mic but none of the other dice rolls disappeared yeah yeah that's because life play dice is where we're rolling Fair all right and good old wild Haymaker Bob with his glorious huge amount of Dice from all of his years of being on a Rough Tumble street so Bayou La Batre it's you know there's a bad part to buy you and he you know does everything he can to stay in shape and stay Wily he loses one die so that for attacking two Targets at once and the difficulty is oh [Music] Oh wrong there we go come on [Music] God damn it thank you grab him and he goes absolutely berserk it's like holding on to a well sugared up toddler who does not want to go into a bath and is determined no matter what no matter who they will get it out of that bath so first it comes to pleading in his case the fist the second comes the crying when in his case the delay is flinging and kicking and doing everything he can to keep away from the whatever you're trying to pull him towards and end up falling on the ground because remember he had his keys in his hand and now they're not there what the hell oh my God you took them out of his hands you moved so far and he's rambling and mumbling and muttering and beginning to raise his voice there is some part of him that has just enough Foolish Pride to believe men don't yell men don't scream men don't call for help but you can see those walls of sexism breaking down by the second as he swings and kicks and doesn't seem to have much effect because well yeah that's outcome of one so both Trish Amarillo take a punch and a boot and Treasure's case unfortunately the boot land in the center of her chest as she is falling down and fighting away you take one total superficial the real [ __ ] which is real get the [ __ ] away ah all right um that's not a hand over his mouth to muffle him he he's going in the trunk oh so that was a wrestling match it is Varela a medium weight a welterweight wrestler versus Hollywood Bob a heavyweight champion of producing movies with money that is not his own the heavyweight champion of spending far too many nights swimming around the bottom of a bottom a heavyweight champ when it comes to pissing away what little money you have on the pipe dream of booking and building more making just enough to fail at making money Hollywood Bob the Undisputed champion of the taxi League of wrestling scrabbling and fighting with his all because all of those hallucinations from the drink from the drugging from the too little sleep and too many activities the busyness for busyness is sake the looking as if he's making far more money than he is brought him to this point Trish you were kicked Morello you were all but open-headed slapped because he still doesn't quite know how to make a real fist and Jasmine you're watching your Cody members wrestle with Hollywood pop he is the you know award-winning executive producer and producer of such well-known hits as not your not the daddy and several Public Access lifetime ass movies about the holidays and he did both you know get the talent here for you know uh Pirates of the Caribbean he did to get the initial contracts started he got people interested I think he's booked several commercials do you remember that one Bounty commercial where you know they're cleaning up the the instead of using that unreal blue liquid there where they use the actual red liquid and only air like three or four times before people start complaining that it looked like they were you know picking up blood um but he did do that that was him and there was the uh the judge show where the judge got hit by his own mic when the person tried to storm the bench it was only taking off off the air after two shows but it was it was you know it was must watch TV [Music] [ __ ] God all right since [Music] this seems to be going a Direction I'll just kind of like um well the she's not she's not actually hurting him she's just grappling him right now and the other one is basically kicked in the [ __ ] chest um I'll just kind of try and get closer to where you can hear me but like Mr Bob Mr Mr Bob Mr Hollywood Bob please relax and relax we're we're just doing a scene this is a scene we're attempting to sell you a movie there's a camera over there please calm down uh can you remember let him let him go uh unfortunately it doesn't seem that the pitch went as well as we thought it would [Music] well I let some go all right we can do it and um Jasmine says that because Trish gets up and she was about to have all intentions of laying hands on him but she doesn't says that she kind of pauses and just looks into both of them I'm sorry I'm so sorry that this turned out the way it did the way it did we were we knew you were in town and you know we we do indie films and we were really hoping to sell you on this this uh idea that we had this script and um you know it was kind of you got it on the money it was a very Covenant based um movie I'm sorry do you do you think we still have a chance or or are we have we screwed the pooch on this one would you be so kindness go ahead and roll your charisma plus subterfuge versus composure and insight I am gonna [ __ ] Rouse on this because for [ __ ] sake people [Music] yeah let me see [Music] [Applause] all right that's gonna be a success Bueno [Music] um [Music] against difficulty four correct yes that is a six success critical [Music] oh no 10 success Critical with a margin of six the [ __ ] did you Rouse for because zero chance I mean I suppose a messy crit would have made it that I didn't consider a message as you're not even here don't you know don't you remember there is a hilarity inherent as the bruises of Marella's fingers on his jawline which was missing his mouth and from the initial grab out of his Frozen hypnotic state [Music] to him mouth open unable to actually formulate whatever brain cells are bumping into each other to try to form a full-fledged sentence and even with him on the ground even with the wet chilled Dew of this perfectly manicured lawn where these part where the grain the grass stains you know are heinous the fact that they've even managed to burnish themselves into the leather of his jacket [Music] there's a switch that is actually thrown the tears of him seeing his life flashing before his eyes and not being worthy enough to even be you know a trailer for a trailer are still flowing but suddenly instead of being the smoking wretch and wrecked ruin of a man whose dreams are crashing down around him the sleeves that you feel is palpable your skin feels oily because even in a wretched state that he is in you feel as if he's suddenly gone to that old Trope of the casting couch still stained and fearing for his life the tears still falling you can tell the looking you all down to up and imagining how far or how much you're willing to go for a super stardom you guys did all of this yeah yeah so you guys uh purposely tried to get me like the punk show yeah no no I I had that feeling that's kind of where I was um yeah like going like I did you know the tears are believable right you know not many people that can cry on demand yeah of course with the quality of films you've been involved in it's it's actually very comforting to see that you've got some acting skills yourself yeah we figured that we'd have to go this far uh in order to convince you know someone with a with a very um Discerning Eye such as yourself but so do you so is are those contacts that you like you you put in so quick uh yeah actually you you um yeah uh the dark wood where there was contact or are you able to like roll your eyes up in your head hey yeah I could do like that I think and she's like rolls her eyes on her head looking at the back while keeping her eyes open oh yeah don't do that the camera doesn't like that that's that's freaky maybe on like we can get you maybe a horror show or or something um uh you Joanna may help me up I can do where I am horror movie if you like oh Marella cut that out he knows what's best for each of us he's done a lot of films I told you about him no no we got some prosthesis we can you know put you on one of those chastity belts and have the prosthesis it'll fool everyone I hear the uh uh it's big in Japan here come on help me out come on give me a hand let's hope the man off Marley she helps him up lifts him it makes it look as from the outside like she's straining but she just lifts them up you're pretty strong I was well you know I was trying to keep you from falling and I lost my balance and he immediately takes out a cigarette and it starts lighting up [Music] ah okay so you you guys are like normally I don't like have cash things and he starts trying to smooth his hair with with his left hand as he's inhaling with his right and you can feel his chest puffing drawing in the air all around him in his eyes you've all shrunk by a foot and a half and gained several other endowments larger than your body should be able to with stand and he inhales so I I don't need to go to whatever scene you guys prepared at the uh Cemetery but being as I'm leaving the party you guys can roll with me and then we can talk about like some of the places I might be able to get you into like there are certain positions that oh God I'm sure you'd be perfect for and you know your willingness to go this far says a lot about your prospects you kind of got to be willing to give it your all and put it all out there like you just just go for it like like sometimes it may seem like it's a you know a little sketch but Hollywood's Hollywood and nothing's really ever sketch unless of course it doesn't pan out so I can get you where you need to be uh but I'm gonna need you know I need to maybe get a reel going because it was great but you know there's no cameras out here so I have a couple of cameras at my office we'll get a couple of things set up get you in the right positions show your best sides and you know get these on to my buddies out there in the business and I'm you know I'm sure it won't take more than I don't know maybe a week or two to get something that's really perfect for you guys so have you guys acted before and he like where's my key oh dude hey give me the key from the trunk come on come on come on I mean just kind of like the the very naive like willing to work for exposure type uh nodding along with his words as uh she kind of takes the key from Morella and hands it to him all right so you you keep when you you ride up front dark girl in in Joanna you get in the back [Music] all right whatever you say mister yeah just pop into there in the seat behind the driver's seat I hate myself slides in the back of this Cinderella it just kind of gives her that look s like I can't believe we're going along with this [ __ ] looks at her late yeah this is this is this is this is rough it just like before Mr Hollywood gets in just like that that moment where the the glass and the door and the window kind of breaks the sound just kind of leans back and looks at the two of them and I complete the [ __ ] two-year-old is having to salvage this situation [Music] oh she's calling me the dark one this one you are dark as long as we need this [ __ ] ride it's kind of sits back in the front like that whole very irritated exchange never happened what takes him so long is that he actually removes the strongest opening so he closes goes and closes the trunk but not before removing a roughly two inch by six inch cylindrical container and while you will like part of your mind is thinking like he's definitely not going to try to drug all three of us and doesn't realize that that [ __ ] doesn't work you see him pause just before he gets in the car and gives himself a bath in this body spray that's not even ax the actual name of the body spray is hammer and he sprays himself first just his head and that's okay you think okay maybe you probably should move that around it's a body spray it's not a hairspray Until you realize that he doesn't stop sprays and circular motions from his head down over his shoulders across his chest he opens his Jack and sprays the inside of it enough that you are sure that it's now wet does the other side it makes him its way over the entirety of his body by the time he reaches you know he's gonna stop when he gets to the pants because who sprays body sprays on their clothes but who sprays more importantly body spray on their pants he does not stop he reaches his shoes his boots sprays them until they're no longer dull they're nice and shiny with the moisture from this body spray and gives it a quick shake and you realize he's not done yet because he works his way back up opens his jeans he pulls the belt out just enough to get the nozzle to spray and gives it a good stiff long blast and then shakes it again you clearly that he's trying to measure how much his love was inside and he opens his mouth oh yeah and he tosses the empty can over his shoulder before getting in yeah during this this marvelous display there is a slowly growing look of Despair and horror of I almost had a master's degree in the medical field and here I am now [Music] it looks casually she's thinking her own hair on here she's just smiling essentially as he kind of gets in just a very quick swap from that over to happy cheery chipper naive Trish is practically laying and we're on the lap just tackling her ass off because it's the absurdity of it all it's too much does anyone have heightened senses it really doesn't save that if you all had heightened senses you would be at a complete disadvantage inside this car because there's no way that the scent of 99 cent body spray is not punching you in all of your old factory senses if you were alive your eyes would be watering if you were alive your ears would be ringing from how much body spray he is sprayed on himself [ __ ] them little did we know Hollywood Bob is actually a hunter and this is a very well-known hunting tactic this away okay baby well um Mr Mr Hollywood Bob is there a location near there on the way that um we could drop my friends off at I'm more than happy to to go and get everything scheduled uh while they they clean up back at the cemetery since you know you said you weren't going to be there we did have a few things that we wanted to show you but you know you're the you're the master of your time and we'd hate to impose oh no no no it's fine I got more than enough to go there's more than enough opportunity of going on camera for all three of you guys I mean this is gonna be great for you like it will increase your exposure if you're as talented as dedicated as that little scene you all tried to put on I am sure that I can get land you guys a gig I I probably have you guys a job tomorrow depending on how enthusiastic you all are on camera how well you sell yourselves because you know while I would love to give each and every last one of you a job if I could I I merely get the people that give you the job to notice you so I'm gonna go back to my place and I'm gonna set up a couple of cameras we're gonna do a few cold reads and you know whatever you guys are comfortable with and I'm gonna get that in front of producers who and you stand to make you know anywhere from easily even here just on a local scene you know anywhere from 500 to you know a thousand dollars per shoot sometimes more based on you know how much you impress them with this opening video that we're gonna make all right that sounds awesome yeah uh College expenses have been pretty pretty hard on uh pretty hard on us so that even that amount of money is is great it's amazing in fact um where where exactly uh is is your uh your place your where's the shoot happening oh yeah don't worry about that I got a little place I'm we can use my temporary office you know I'm dealing with a few things but uh luckily father McConnell down at First Baptist Church lets me you know he allows me to rent a little space there for a backup offices you know it's amazing how much space you run out of I have so many awards and movie posters from the movies that I've helped produce and commercials I've helped get together that I'm running out of space in my main office for to do these scenes but luckily even father McConnell allows me to keep a few things here and have a little office there behind the church where the rectory normally was but this you know he doesn't use his space anymore and well you know I was always a good uh a good choir boy I um served uh served our Lord and savior I wouldn't know pretty much my entire youth I I kind of aged out I was really uh I was really tall for my for my age I was 13 14 when I the last time I uh didn't get a chance to serve the father but you know because of our past history he's willing to bag my play and support me whenever he can because you know he really took us under his wing he taught us the real meaning of devotion in service and you know what they say like you got to give until it hurts if you want to get anything back and you don't do it because you couldn't potentially get something back you do it to help the other person no matter some things may seem a little weird at first but if you give yourself over to the moment it'll be all fine so like I know you three are clearly dedicated to this craft of ours so I'm sure you're willing to give as much as is needed for us all to get where we need to be with this scene now I don't know if you guys have noticed but over the last 100 or so years of Hollywood the big thing that catches the producer's eye and he goes into detail about the movies that have won the Oscar and how you know you don't have to win the Oscar to technically win the Oscar like working is more important than not and it's only as you drive past the McDonald's leading back into Bayou La Padre that you realize yeah he wasn't lying you guys are definitely headed towards the church it's one of the major landmarks and it is in the almost exact opposite direction of the cemetery as you all are easing down the coastal connection and getting ready to make that right hand turn because you see Downey up ahead so you know you're almost there and you turn off onto the church's driveway and realize that yeah you went around this is going down okay I'll just kind of anyone around us right now yeah u4 in the car in the tactics I mean outside is anyone like Milling about at night no no it's not this there are tons of cars going up and down 188 however even with that level of activity once you cross into the church's parking lot there's really nothing going on it's not like there's a fish fry or Bingo or anything that's keeping the church open and the light on there are a few lights on in the Tower there at the front of the church where the Bell is supposed to be but there's no Bell there everything's electronic there's just a speaker there now and there's a few lights on in the back portion of the church but you guys drive past the church to the end of the driveway okay is it dark Where We Are no more darker than usual you're pointing to the building that is that serves as directory that's that's my office there but it's a lot nicer than it looks on the outside trust me it's it's good it's a good backup office you guys are you know you have more than enough space I even got a couple of uh not that we need them but I have a couple of air mattresses already blown up that we could use maybe we could do a a boat scene you know you guys are bouncing at the beach or what have you um I'm thinking that sounds like fun so just kind of like as he's as he's rambling on about this stuff just kind of like catches uh catches his his forearm in in my hand and uh he gets his attention I mean like well you know you you mentioned it and I just want to reassure you uh Mr Hollywood we are and gets a little bit closer and a little bit closer as she's speaking and and you know takes on that sultry tone we are very willing to give everything that we can uh in order to and as she gets closer and closer just kind of almost to the point of whispering in his ear um to give everything that we can for this and and uh you know I'm I'm very much in agreement with you sometimes those of us who need to help each other we need to give even if it hurts and we're actually just going to bite down into him ah yes all right well [Music] successfully having conducted a discombobulation attack and exceeding by six that's exact that's more than enough to mask the opportunities for what you're doing okay cool there is an amazing amount of of well inebriation in his system and not because of booze but for Kindred it's the fleeting and strong feelings that he's felt and being his he still hasn't quite come down from literally fighting for his life as far as he believed he was fighting for his life you you realize why he used a body spray you wouldn't have need him to use the entirety of it but being this closing sinking thing you realize that there's a little there's a little human pyria uh about him he literally emptied a portion of his bladder and fear from what was happening unlike dogs it's not fear and dominance and nervousness decided no he was afraid for his life and as you clamp down there's that depressive understanding of the finality of man there's the exaltation and happiness that it didn't happen there is the ecstatic idea that maybe he could turn the Tails maybe he could get his just desserts from these three clearly desperate women and that melange of emotions swirling and bombarding each other cascading off the inside of his mind and heart makes his mate a little spicy a little sweet it's not quite Umami and not quite species sweet spicy sour crunchy fried no no no it's not all of the flavors of deliciousness but it is a mix of things that typically are not a factor in her diet so it um not drinking for hunger uh drinking for the the fog that comes from it um you're gonna you know just get them right to the point to where it right before the point where it would be he needs hospital um and just kind of let him let him Teeter there on the edge uh does he have does he have alcohol on him he does not okay okay um just kind of looks back to the the rest of them as he I assume he's [ __ ] just plastered on the floor he is becoming a puddle as you speak many poor horrible aspects of the kiss and one that you find yourself a little shameful for having provided him once the kiss settles in all of the pleasure centers of the brain fire so while that little spicy melange of all of those many different feelings are bouncing around the inside of him [Music] he is having one of the best moments of his life that hog that comes over him that idea of him getting off there is physiological proof of that on him now yeah just kind of girls we're going to agree to never speak of this again Marella get the keys we're getting out of here owls I honestly was just gonna strangle him but you know I mean that if this works for you is fine too she does she takes up the keys it's a hell of a lot less problematic if an individual known in any sphere of the media it goes I was just gonna strangle him until he passed out I wasn't gonna kill him or anything geez I'm just kind of walking and gets in the passenger side of the car notices that the the body spray has yet to vacate it and rolls down the [ __ ] window [Music] pretty sure based on the display that I saw you couldn't strangle a cat you go and strangle him now if it makes you feel better no it really wouldn't please stop I hate the idea that he might enjoy that further well you can strangle some other part of them if you want Marella I will I will 100 kill you yes uh let's just get this job done and get this night over with I've seen horrible things that have done horrible things and I want neither of them to be in my memories but I know that they're [ __ ] scarred there as you are a dirty dirty girl yes yes it is true you realize he's gonna remember your face even if he doesn't remember all of what happened so yeah somebody might need to take care of that yeah I'll take her later it's better that he remembers getting his rocks off like he's never gotten before and then we stole his car rather than by the side of the road or we're gonna put him in the truck no wait he's this is where he lives apparently we could make some very little photos of him in blackmail them I'm pretty sure that he's already got nudes out and about based on just how sleazy this gentleman is hey that's true or we could actually take a picture of him at this oh no that won't work I think I think it's better that we just put him in the rear view mirror and I will deal with him later fair enough worst case scenario I have to kill him later and I'm not even sure that's worst case scenario at this point because that's starting to seem more and more appetizing oh they're figuring it out fish is going to carefully as she can drag the body out front step and just kind of prop him up okay let come on Taps the the roof of the the vehicle time to go and I assume we all Pile in and head off towards our destination all right yes does anyone have driving yeah I do oh thank you the only reason why I asked and here's here's the amazing thing about that anyone and everyone can get behind the wheel of the car at night and as busy as 188 is at all times of the day getting out of the church parking lot to go head north is a bit of a chore it's easier driving through a car than waiting for your turn to merge and make that U-turn to get back North or better yet to make that left-hand turn to begin with to go back North it is a chore it is a labor and while yes it is a contact sport in Chicago you are merging onto the American version of the Autobahn getting from point A to point B if you have not gone through the entire Alpha bit twice by the time that the average person gets from point A to point B means you're driving too damn slow the speed limit on every Expressway is a minimum of 75. if you're not doing that people think that you're trying to cause an accident it is go go go and then go more especially when you shouldn't especially when there's inclement weather especially when it's a cold Alabama winter night so while there's not a role needed there's just the practice aspect of actually understanding how to drive and merge in this environment who the question is whose tribe three decks to drive but I said I was getting the passenger side so [ __ ] you get two texts uh two decks and three Drive hey nutrition is over there with like 19 dice to drive and says oh that's fine you guys can do it no way yeah two decks in one drive oh okay well then never mind I suppose uh I suppose Jasmine's the driver this is technically her hard fought prize anyways it is you've actually perfectly maintained and updated waxed and washed Yellow Cab built in the 1950s all right I'm I'm sure that Kane would be proud you are his star pupil all right well yeah the [ __ ] it Jasmine's driving and we'll be heading off towards the uh oh what was the name of the the dog grooming place I'm gonna head to the dog birming place instead of the cemetery I mean yeah we gotta head to the cemetery but I thought that the um I may have misunderstood the mission I thought that we were getting the the CCTV from the dog grooming place and the horse uh Stables no nearby no okay [Music] Bueno then I will head to the [ __ ] the cemetery so if we're not getting a close circuit TV uh recordings what are we doing at the cemetery not CCTV no no the cemetery can 100 have CCTV okay Grand Bay Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in Grand Bay um the prerequis is still for actually being buried there are either a significant endowment to the Granbury Cemetery Society or your family members proving that your family has resided in Grand Bay for at least three generations ah wonderful it is and always has been a kindred Associated business one of the many things people don't realize about cemeteries is the reason why they can constantly consistently sell plots of land inside that Cemetery even if it lasts or has been around for 100 plus years is because they literally just wait for the family members of those who already entered to become deceased themselves and then they move those plots those bodies those remains because they've actually faded into nothing so they dig up the at that time the older bodies are just in caskets and sell that plot of land there's nothing there anymore the body Fades into nothing after a certain amount of time so if you wait for the family to cease to be able to swing by the cemetery and check on Grandpa Grandma onto the uncle they know
