monsters we are you know the rest of that sentiment and the reasoning behind it the truest lie ever sung it is not in seeking monstrousness that we Stave off the monsters of Our Hearts and Thoughts We Are Monsters dead and truly yet our monstrousness is solely in seeking to live seeking to be the Monsters We are monsters we are the better to embrace the truth of our dead Humanity the coast after dark is a mature themed Discord play by post-server based in and exploring the V5 world of darkness in and around the Mississippi Gulf Coast region it has a small local population with over 14 million tourists that visit annually roughly an hour's time is all that is needed to travel from end to end the geography and size of the region has created a unique power structure that is formerly known as the Council of Twilight it is sometimes called the pintar sometimes affectionate sometimes oozing with disdain come explore and safely experience the darker parts of the sun-kissed landscape oh [Applause] this is the coast after Dark Magnolias mold during in the midnight this is our first of two shot Hunter Chronicle and I'm your host your Storyteller and your number one fan nobody thank you for your time and we're just waiting for the other players to arrive and we'll begin with a small session zero leading directly into our episode so very much hello hello hello how we doing hello I'm good how are you doing not bad not bad while we wait for everyone else to arrive just for the record this is nobody um the primary Storyteller here on the coast and have you worked out all the details for your particular Hunter um background um I don't know what the advantages or the edges or the perks mint on my sheets but um I mean is this what we're trying to figure out doing session zero yeah we're gonna do a fairly uh Cliff spark note session zero and roll into a little bit of play and we're going to have the follow-up hopefully we move through it with some alacrity and then we'll continue next week and close out our little Hunter section filling in some of the corners of the coast as it were all right do you have uh oh sorry no no go on do you have any questions um feel free to call me Annie um for animated existence yes okay sounds like a plan nobody Storyteller you know all of those work did you give your Hunter a name um yes yeah I actually just give him a name okay and what's their name uh Levy new hard Kaufman merry Germany just randomly generalized should I type in some more okay Neil hard uh Kaufman like k-o-u-f-m-a-n-n okay sounds like a plan and what edges and perks do you have we can talk about that for a few moments while everybody else is in here okay so uh it says Edge artifact okay that is an item of some sort it doesn't have to be anything grandiose is not like The Maltese falcon or anything but there it is an item that has abilities or perks or an edge to it so your artifact does it have any any Edge attached to it or attached to it well that's the first thing on that line but on the second uh section there is like Edge Global access perk Shield but I don't think those two are connected okay let's see what's your Creed let me do it that way hey hey one two one two welcome in how we doing I can hear you let's try that again I don't think I've heard it there we go I'm hearing people now all right then welcome in thank you all right and Annie what was your Creed and drive uh so it's the intro oh my gosh I cannot pronounce this word entrepreneur but like for the adje okay yep uh Drive is Envy okay entrepreneurial Envy I mean quick second let me go ahead and open that up look because I do have the the base on filtered copy here and your Edge is an artifact that is a relic of some sort whether it's something that's passed down something that the character found it is a potentially potent factor and in regards to oh I've lost one of my windows there we go all right and then Global access with The Shield is one sec I forgot to get some water water is good water is good now with your Global access typically that means that you are able to plug into or hack into uh various systems either you have either illegally without anyone else's notice or you actually have some access to it through the character's background whatever they did for a living whatever they differ hop any one of those facets allows them to gain access access to global surveillance systems for lack a better word whether it's actually a surveillance system or maybe it's just a banking Financial aspects or any system any one of the systems that actually are well exactly what it says global so whether it's the intelligence Community whether it's the dark web whether it is any number of those systems that have international reach your character is able to access it and then then you have Shield which well at 840 sounds like self-explanatory but yeah it is what it is it is a matter of protection that the character is able to gain access to so what's the best way to describe it simply it's typically connected with an artifact but it could be through your connection with that International System it could be the fact that you may be relatively invisible to others or more supernatural creatures now while they specifically listed as part of the artifact perk how it takes shape it's part of one of the things that you figure out for the character and I'm going through a bigger notepad I I have I have a blank document opened up on my browser for copious note-taking as this is my first Hunter thing ever nice yeah I am positive I will have things I need to write down or type in okay being prepared is always a very very good thing um let me are we starting now or can I ask more questions oh no definitely ask more questions the more questions and the clearer the character is in your head the better it will be what about the advantages and the flaws of this character okay which advantages do you have or or like there are four adversary around touched mage okay the note for that is it is a world of darkens but there is also a world of very Wayne light some of those some of that light is trained further down the track heading in your direction and in this character's particular instance that is exactly what an adversary is it is a powerful individual whether they're actually a mage they can make magic happen they can make strange things happen or maybe they're just a financial Wizard or a highly skilled operator out there in the night they have incidentally over the course of their life piss this person off where they are worth the effort this person this wrong touched Mage has made it worth their while to make sure that this character that your character uh has the worst time possible so Levy has crossed the wrong person who has time and makes time to make sure that their life is as eventfully painful as possible okay well uh and there's resources to status too is probably like really similar to V5 right yes it very much is resources is their easy access to cash now for for hunters it's a little different than for Kindred solely because there are daily cost to living especially in America there are costs for everything from gas to cigarettes to Coffee to tea to even turning on the light it is literally a ticker of money going out of your account to fund those things so resources in Hunter account for those things and this is roughly the the funding you have left after all those things that are constantly running out so it's not a real measure of numerically how much the character has but how much they actually just have access to so it's discretionary yes and then state is means that within this gray world of hunters even as we're starting at the outset of the of the mission as it were even if we're starting at the outset of them taking their those initial steps into this world this wider darker World seeing the truth behind things they have a reputation within the community there's Fringe zealots and mad persons who they've somehow impressed with their knowledge they don't even know what they've been providing to these people or how they've been associating with people but they have a good standing they have a good name already for themselves um okay um is it okay if I ask some questions too of course all right so um well I I was actually asking any but okay thank you um I was looking at the character sheet you gave me and I mean I sent you back something with something scribbled on it that made sense but with what I there's this two dot advantage and flaw that's blank and I don't even know what it's for okay uh so what was your what was your type what was your Creedence Elijah Abramson is um a faithful oath and actually I I I'm guessing my oath is to um do whatever I can to make sure other people don't succumb to this Gnostic horror machine um that took my friend uh I didn't even give my friend oh Jacob my friend Jacob um but so like there's there's you know there's a bunch of one dot things and there's a random two dot thing I don't know what to do with it's just sitting there um looking at the uh initial blank download it should be that you have a two dot listed there as Mentor the rabbi son a fellow judge um you have okay so there's a mentor here okay got it okay okay so that I I thought I saw Mentor mentioned somewhere else and I don't know why I don't see it here but okay is that is that also a touchstone or is that just somebody just something else entirely it is entirely something else entirely it is a mentor the your fellow rabbis son is aware or Loosely aware or questioning the reality of the world that you all are inhabiting and they've gone further down that path into being a hunter into exploring these dark facets of the world so they're able to let you know some of the landmines that are out there in the night some of the things you probably shouldn't do even if it's most beneficial to you it's like no no no no you really don't want to go into diiberville after midnight I know what it sounds like I know it's just another North neighborhood and it's one of the oldest but however you don't want to go out there after midnight this is a very bad idea Elijah trust me on this you do not want to go [Music] just as an example they would be able to tell you where some of the pitfalls and land mines that are out there in the dark are they'd be able to say you know I may not be able to answer this for personally but there is XYZ or what have you where you can look it up and figure it out maybe you can do more than I could with this okay [Music] alrighty um this Edge library is the library my artifact or do I pick a particular book no library has access to Epic rifle knowledge it is there's book Scrolls uh websites uh dark tour visited areas of the internet where you have access to potential research and factual information that may require a little code breaking and puzzling but it you have access to it so it's a welcome to World of darkness.net um have a deal it could be you get to decide on how it takes shape it is access to information that could be of extraordinary assistance okay uh okay I do have technology ones I'm not clueless with the internet which is good um but judges and rabbis tend to be more Hands-On Book C so I'm going to say I'm gonna just flush it out as one laptop term one one like laptop that knows a court a small corner of the dark web that's useful plus um uh stuff relating to the occult specialty you gave me um sound about right that's absolutely perfect a laptop with man I don't know why it doesn't let me type into this PDF okay it depends on when you where you open it like it works fairly well in bing it works decently in Chrome it works better in Firefox but it works absolutely perfect if you open it in acrobat directly yeah but then acrobat doesn't let me edit it um or if I make edits and try to save them I like I've frozen the document which is I think what happened I think I saved my changes and then it like got frozen I couldn't change it again um without writing on it literally with a hand pencil uh so I'm using a mouse pencil but still annoying uh but okay one lather one laptop with dark web access small corner okay so it's just taking me a while because why I don't write the fastest with a pencil and paper and uh I spent less time practicing with mouse no it's fine you got time and while you sussed that out and work that out and each of all this is Noble she's one of our founders of the coast after dark and sitting in taking it taking a look around yes yes okay yes hello right nice to meet you welcome welcome and uh we're hiding and never present uh but you've been working on the tail end of a degree I've been told so yes this is only remastered oh lucky you wish I could say I managed to get that far uh I mean don't be too impressed I'm in my mid-40s and went back for this so Oh you mean I could catch up to you still okay uh because I'm in my early 40s there's no such thing as early anything once you hit 26 not even early morning huh not at all any as far as Levi do you have any other questions okay uh what about the retainer co-partner Advantage well that's a very good Advantage all advantages are very good but in this particular case as a retainer they work for you in some shape fashion or form you are paying them for their assistance in whatever currency works for you too the for Levi and them it also means that they are able and competent enough to actually assist you in various facets of your day-to-day night-to-night existence you've got your very own Green Hornet to your Cato or your Sherlock Holmes to your Watson you have someone who is able to go get it go smash go drive go help me please you are never alone they will need a name but that is entirely for you to work out as we play or if something comes into your head as far as who they are describing them okay and how they operate I'm thinking about it a butler or something yes very much that yes Butler is one of the original one of those Batman um but okay um but enough about Alfred um curious as to what this perk and edge mean I have a sense of them but I don't know what they mean exactly this perk of precision means what I mean besides being precise more tailored than just I'm always precise because that would actually possibly be broken no um no no no no no no no no no broken anything let's see if we can simplify to something a little more like is this weapons Precision is this it is the it is one of the perks to your Edge if you look there for uh since the unnatural that's what is that's what it's referring back to it gives the character the ability to exactly determine in a room full of people if something is non-natural you're not able to determine the exact type but you get that the hairs on the back of your neck are standing on in your breath is coming out colder and leaves a fog in the air or however you decide to describe that sensation when using your sensing unnatural perk that means that based on your successes you will be able to immediately not just get a range five to ten feet you won't just feel warmer colder hot scalding hot you're right on top of it you'll be able to say that girl there with the lime green hair there's something not natural about her every time I look at her my eye twitches or every time I look at her my stomach Bubbles and I feel butterflies or however you choose to describe it but with you I'm gonna say joints ache joints ache extra okay just to consider just to consider something unnatural okay just just like if it if it hits right like because obviously these things have missed chances right yes okay all right I'm typing just because I just sick and tired of trying to hand write with a mouse um it ain't working for me typing is fine keeping keeping the sheet up and like now trying to figure out how I can zoom it down as soon as if our good friend Jimmy may be down for the count because it is uh 11 A.M his time so he may be down for an account I know that Ernie's player is having a house gas it does and while we play them off this is a good time for Levi and Elijah to sketch out in Broad Strokes how they know of each other now it doesn't mean that they're close personal friends doesn't mean that they're drinking buddies or play poker or whatever else they may not you know know each other's children's name or cousins or families going back several Generations but they do know of each other enough to share information to have conversations with to travel in similar circles with how close that connection is it's entirely up to YouTube together uh alrighty uh I didn't even pick a HomeTown for my dude well we're going to be in and around Bay St Louis so okay so all right I guess that's a good Hometown choices any are we both Jewish um I mean if you want it that way sure my character is so that's why I'm asking okay I I don't know much about Jewish culture so I don't think I will role play it well so you will be like in accurate representation trust me I will make plenty of scripts in that regard myself um but it just didn't make sense for me to have a specialty in talmud um but it does everyone has their own little trivial uh rabbit holes that'll go down so the world is your oyster don't be bound by any siblings of what is right or what have you because everything is an option okay well I could also swing for um runs and Evangelical Christian circles and just has a PR has a abnormal emphasis on the Old Testament in his world view [Music] so you were suggesting like church body that's a possibility um I am I am running a faith I am running a faithful Creed character so religious backdrop is going to matter for sure um is your character into maybe history um if you're talking about [Music] um is Israel's history abnormally obsessed yes [Music] uh I'm thinking about playing like an archaeologist oh that's a great one [Music] um so in terms of with this specialty on Bahari occult um this actually leaves a great window for possible academic intersection [Music] um because a lot of Gnostic literature um comes out of Greece and the Hellenic World during the time where Greek culture had a large degree of influence um like so there's there's secular gnosticism and then there's this intersection with paganism that is that intersection with paganism is more my character's interests but nonetheless um if you do anything that is around the yeah um any culture that has been touched by Hellenic gnosticism that's the potential that is a potential intersection point where you're if you did archeology around anywhere from modern day gosh uh any day anywhere from Modern Day Italy to Greece to Turkey and even a little bit beyond that is all like fair game in addition to if you just happen to be doing archaeological stuff around the Middle East itself [Music] I think the problem is that like myself I don't know much about ads and uh uh yeah I choose to be like okay all it's just just because like I feel like that is like a good fit since this dude has a lot of intelligent academic academic and like but no medicine or any sort of biology that kind of stuff and no science so I I don't know I mean he could just be like a professor somewhere uh yeah I'm not I'm not my character is not the sharpest dude but he is uh he travels in circles that love to be well read so this is fine um professor is really good you could even be a professor of like philosophy um okay so any your ideas that they're they're an academic of some particular Pursuit like they're a professor an educator a consultant or something along those lines [Music] I'm trying to take in account why this dude has like four points in finance I I don't know how to explain that oh that's easy they even just as an example and the reason why I say that's easy is because entrepreneurial is a Creed that is around the idea of capitalizing on the already existing Darkness that's out there in the world using it to create more wealth to help beat the monsters back into the dark or eradicate them completely and totally finding a way for instance have you seen um daybreakers it's a fairly old vampire movie but they initially use the occult idea of vampires scientifically they use it and they affected people through everyone in the world basically and everyone became a vampire because it prolonged their life it helped them live past cancer and help them live past all of the frailties of the mortality and just like what we're doing with our environment they ruined it they pretty much ushered in a new Dark Age people were going too far into becoming vampires they became vampire monsters and use it in that way or um not and flux but right around the same time and Amelia Jovovich did a movie where she was a vampire along the lines of Ian flux uh Matrix and all of that tight leather uh fairly fairly color sculpt to be really jarring but one of the things they did was they used the vampire virus to again better themselves where they use it scientifically because it happens in a lab someone got infected so that's kind of like an entrepreneurial decree they're using the darkness if they can but otherwise using it to create money to do that so they're focused on finances is gathering and increasing wealth towards their own ends okay really awesome at Gathering grant money for your causes God [Music] um I was more thinking about like uh like dealing in like artifact like political stuff yep that definitely works as well how Levi goes about utilizing their Finance skill is 100 in your hands and take a second to really live in their skin for a couple of seconds and figure out how they go about doing it like that selling dealing in Antiquities beneath maybe slightly extra legally is a great way to gather finances and being able to manipulate the financial markets that they are involved in to get more money for themselves it's absolutely perfect welcome welcome Ernie I know you you're muted but do you have a high second to introduce your character so that we can map out some of how these three are intertwined now they know each other they may not be very close they could be very close but that's entirely up to you all to map up how you all know each other and what is your character's name no problem um I was on the music because you guys were talking and I was trying to catch my breath after the Whirlwind of cleaning my house at the last minute she did get here safe she's settled in so that was like I'm running a little behind but anyway um I am playing uh she has Soca Patrice Michelle um goes by Chia also she uh she is like like the pet he's short for Chi Ahsoka yeah or Soca you can call her Soko achia hero um she is by day a data analyst and um by night uh kind of dark web visitor she is very smart with and computers and anthropology she went to college anthropology but uh doing side jobs kind of Drew her down a little bit of a rabbit hole um yeah so she's a um so as far as the potential point of contact uh I could have met you uh in the dark web and later found out who found you know met you in real life so that's that very much a possibility yeah okay so uh give a quick description she is five foot two 165 pounds very curvy I would say hourglass with extra sand on top and bottom uh milk chocolate skin light brown eyes grayful in the mouth Nigerian nose uh uh hair done usually in braids of different styles to dress is comfortable but Chic with plenty of accessories often tied to her dual culture um a couple little tattoos in inconspicuous places the most conspicuous would be the one that's on her wrist it's a simple Black Arrow um yeah she's quiet but charismatic so yeah that's pretty much cheer wow uh I didn't think about any of that junk with my character now I have to think about it um thanks for the reminder oh boy um oh and while we we've dived a little bit further in allowed me to do some of the introductions javal Ernie Ernie chaval Ernie Annie animated existence and they if you were paying any sort of attention to our little server on the coast they play whom uh register Ernie new in and he is a premier of Camarillo right now a direct a Childer of the region even though he doesn't really have that a parent a child relationship with them they are very much more Mentor mentally [Music] uh yes you've done a lot of scenes with um no Boo's character the um and uh there ain't no no Boo's character that's Creighton Craig to his friends nobody is what is typically known as because for a very long time growing up this is exactly what it was as far as everything was concerned that's Creighton and I've heard some things about that strange doctor out there in the back of Backup backup backer way up down the north side of whatever that would be my character Cheval Dehan yes been busy getting herself in and out of trouble on various whites and animated assistance move I've been calling Annie as as per I've been given the the leave to do so plays Irving McCormick I'm not sure if you guys been paying attention to the full ebb and flow of things that have been happening but they are playing tonight Levi Neil Hart Kaufman we've already been introduced to Chia Soka and we've been incidentally introduced to Elijah Abramson so um Hunter as a Foundation of for the new H5 the new edition of Hunter the Reckoning is about exploring the dark it is about realizing that the world is a very occasionally unsafe place and it's a reason for it the monsters are in fact real all of the playing and surfing and the deeper dark that we do as vampires on the server that's very little to actually do with these characters what I'm hoping that we accomplish over the course of play is these characters going from questioning and Loosely affected by all of those many things out there in the dark to understanding approximately how deep the hole goes or having an idea as to how far they could fall into all of that Inky black darkness we will touch on through negative space some fairly potentially triggering subjects I trust each of you all to give a quick aside and say hey we're going to back away from there or what have you if you all have any issues or anything that comes up that strikes a little too close to home or is there any bit of transference between the characters what the characters experiencing yourself please very very much say so whether you want to say so out loud or send me a DM and we can back away or Glide around to find another way around to get through the story at its heart it is a mystery Hunters are always seeking more knowledge to better combat the world around them they are always trying to find how to beat the Shadows back how to shine the brightest light in what way they can there's a lot of adaption there's a lot of room for improvisation and there's a lot of room for well there's no other way to say it there's a lot of room for horror on a variety of levels and before we go much further I'd like to officially open up the table for every question that we might have so that we can have a foundation to build this tale through so much more one more time with a Feeling what questions suggestions hypotheses concerns do we have in regards to this adventure okay so I got the one connection Loosely with the dark web thing um I guess we had to figure out maybe if there's another one with one of the other characters just to make things a little easier are we just starting from scratch well again you guys know each other in passing and how how that happened or how that has already transpired and how close that relationship is is entirely up to you guys to work out now we know that you and well Chia and Elijah met via the dark web while searching the out lens of the internet they found each other the tenor of that relationship is well you all can either work it out through play but you all have met and know each other on that level now the question stands in regards to Elijah and Levi and chia and Levi how did they meet in passing and what is it a deep relationship or is it just lightly superficial questioning in the same hallway sort of situation um okay so we were discussing about uh Levi's Edge Global Effect and you say it could be like internet thing like a hacker thing yes but now considering that he's secretly like artifact dealer so would that makes more sense if that Global Effect is more like in terms of connections to like sellers like buyers that kind of stuff yes that could actually work is um she is very interested in anthropology and artifacts and things like that um so maybe she would have heard of them through a connection to get like a figure or two or something to buy and then maybe striking up a bit of a not friendship but like hey if I'm looking for this thing can I come to you and I'll give you my business first before I go to anybody else type of thing [Music] yeah that sounds good let me write it down somewhere and we finalized how Elijah and Levi know each other uh I mean I'm good with we you know like she was I'm good with Levi's running like artifact deals and checking around to see if anybody's interested in things in the same like General corner of the dark web we all found ourselves in cool with that okay that sounds fine Jimmy like we can all just meet on the dark web oh what a clinky dink we all happen to live in Mississippi okay um all right I think I have settled on a reasonable description um Elijah Abramson is 51 has lots of joint issues um dress so in the evenings basically dresses like the way he would during the day except he takes off the suit jacket he's in nicer khakis some worn Brown loafer shoes uh Brown vest cream undershirt uh his only excuse for personality expression is an attire is the Tie sometimes he will do something besides a conservative Brown um he has suspenders underneath the vest he has this really strange chronic arthritis I will probably be discussed in gameplay uh it messes with his posture so he doesn't stand at his full height almost ever uh his ball height would be five eight but he walks around about five six full beard and mustache it's bushy and brown and gray weighs about 210 pounds with a decent punch definitely not muscle and we have some [Music] I think it's absolutely amazing because now I'm starting to put together a picture of these three kind of in my head [Music] Motley Crue no I feel like I have to give a description well I mean I imagined uh Levy is a man uh probably approaching his sleigh 40. um he is currently working in a active field work but he's archeology so he's like working in a dick site somewhere um pretty normal family man like usually dressed like a professor well not in a dick side like he dressed like shorts the the kind of like Explorer head that kind of stuff um probably has like a daughter with you married ah he like the whole artifact dealership is something that he keep on the side and not tell his family about um sickly a smoker uh he's like averaging height and built probably a little bit out of shape but that's about it okay sounds like a plan average [Music] page and all right and um with this Motley Crew of mississippians uh these residents in and around the Bay St Louis area of Mississippi do we have are there any other questions that we can settle in terms of the base of where they are like in relation to the rest of the world remember as a blank slate as far as they're concerned thus far there have been questions and those sort of conversations that are had in the early evening just after work when everyone's settling in and getting to their computers or meeting at the corner sports bar or at the library where the conversations dip and dive and swoop and move all of their own and someone will mention something strange and then there's that Curiosity there's that inquisitiveness there's the idea that out there in the dark are things and thus far there's no definitive proof that there's anything out there in the dark same Shadows but there is this drive there's this understanding that what keeps happening it's very much the same thing that Christians believe Lucifer did the greatest trick the devil played was a convincing man that he did not exist and it's a aphorism and an idea that refuses to let you go that you're only seeing a portion of the picture you know there's more there and you've got all of these pieces but there's no box to compare the puzzle pieces to it so you're trying to paste these things together and try not to fall sway to The Fringe sect that are screaming about the lizard people in politics and Hollywood and the fact that you know there's chemicals being pumped out by the local government to drive certain people insane all of the recent blackouts and fires were part of the fifth column CIA moving against the populace to keep all the sheep in line you're trying not to fall into that crazy out there Fringe but the questions don't let you go every time you're close every time you begin making connections between the Bahari Outreach Center and that dark world there's always a logical plausible reason for it to not be as far-fetched as you all think there's always a well yeah yeah those kids were troubled and their parents were well the root of all of their being troubled so of course they would have picked up one night and just disappeared yeah yeah of course companies to have their fingers and so many pies they're maybe not even aware as to how what they're all doing because they only care about making money and yeah yeah it makes sense that this artifact from North Eastern Africa has a representation of an owl but what that's standard but why is it carved so intricately and so detailed with tools that we can't even replicate today it happens strange things happen maybe there are aliens maybe they're not maybe the aliens are responsible more than likely they're not because after all if you were a sufficiently intelligent species why would you get involved with us and there's always a reason to Veer left from actually hitting the bullseye so we're all we're so there's a so there is a local Bahari Outreach Center you said there are several now the idea behind the Bahari they are a fairly militant in regards to their privacy you membership has its privileges they do roughly out of 365 days they're roughly 75 Festival days that they throw huge big things where their members would disappear and it'll be an all-day all-night situation where they are singing and the sound defeat stomping and rhythming pays to a chance and you've been near some of their Festival days but their security is on par with the federal government in regards to keeping those not part of them from taking part they have no problem welcoming people in but if you're not in you are definitely out and that's one of the many things that set Elijah off in regards to them they do good they've helped the schools you know um they were part of the found the funding responsible for rebuilding the the bank the Bay St Louis bridge that runs across Highway 90. they were uh part of the rebuild after Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Katrina they helped secure Federal funding to revitalize the underground utility infrastructure for the entirety of Bay St Louis they have been phenomenally assistive to Bay St Louis Waveland School District the Hancock School District they held refund and rebuild Stannis laws after each of the major storms they have ties to Our Lady Academy which is you know a day school for girls seven to twelve and they are constantly pouring money into the Pearl River Community College for but and every bit of good they do twinges and causes a a chill and an ache to Elijah there's no reason to doubt them there's no reason to not like everyone deserves their privacy this is not a fascist or communist country but still there's just something about them that he can't get past it's like he knows there's something there even though there's no no reason there's no outgoing facet that is easily factually viable for why he has an ill feeling about them yeah they you've heard rumors about them worshiping the Earth Mother a lot of modern pagans and non-christians have those ideals it is what it is but the fact that he just feels so put upon so weighed down by everything they do every time he glimpses one of those click bait articles and sees how much of they're pouring into the community it drives him absolutely Bonkers there's a seething enmity or maybe it's just the fact that his uh studies of the child mood and then mention of Lilith being the original Earth Mother he's making an unconscious connection maybe it is some indoctrination he hasn't been able to shake free of [Music] who's to say well in itially believes that the Bahari are the reason why one of his friends is no longer with us he he is he ascribes an unexplained disappearance to them
