w oh them sheets came up it is so few small moments before our official heart starts and yet we are all gathered here successfully in advance so as always as heartfelt as I always intend mean and feel it thank you all for being here this hobby isn't easy it is it's a ton effort energies and often times like those good or absolutely horrible conversations we have in the real world hours days minutes weeks later even The Adventures of these characters and the other characters that we have the opportunity of experiencing this B Liv will come back and haunted I some song Some poem some TV show or movie some character or some scene we are in the witness of will remind us of The Adventures of these and other characters that we have the chance of playing it sticks with us and by ension and all the more valuable for it your efforts as players partakers members and how we doing welcome back to the game and for those of you in the back who didn't the first time my name is nobody I'm your story tell for the evening this is officially without a shadow of a doubt and part of my thing dark Beth very rarely bother to explain for that moment you guys aren't here even second when the C attempt to reroute themselves somewhere safe sadness after following demise of their to elicit through the voices and of your truck stop at the Oasis at the halfway point between the two locations thank you for the experiences victim in hand we dive into the night in question starting in alal order this is official without a shadow a doubt hungry with all the feelings we can muster for those in the back victim in this is without a shadow without the dark of Bethany season leaves me three finale common kins what we were doing were bringing this victim unlike usual normally I have a small bit of a monologue or inclination or what L us to where we are now that's right yeah this time theoey as we prepare to LEAP into all of that gaping Gorge of conflicted emotions she comes back with this guy experiences and agendas you all will tell me she like hey you guys and all the other players party where you are and how you got there starting with we doing this here Annabelle looks good and why if she can figure it out is she exactly where we are probably not smart well yeah let's uh I may or may not have actually I think in a private kind of area which is why I had to bring this guy back here and turned out to be a bad idea some let's see convinced them that our car was broken down and we needed help are any ideas truly bad I don't think so maybe um then that's we're going to go with that y so which was rather and yeah um now I'm mixing up like three different things in my head I'm like did I do that this time last so let's see this guy live right so we can just stab do we do we need to kill him I don't know there I don't are you guys hungry this is this is clearly a conversation we had before this happened that's a good place to stop that's a good place to we yeah no it's a good Catalyst for what's going through Annabelle's mind speak of catalyst and how we got where we are and where we are hungry but it's not going to drive me insane well you don't need hry was focused on trying to get the Frat Boys to take their home boys hospital so that to the conclusion that um he was blood strangely for somebody that was in sober but for the most part we couldn't tell for sure and all we could do was try to Rouse him and see if it works but we're kind of leaning towards he's possibly going all right let's say that we brought a glass from your house India so I here I'm going to like Chate this evening then I'm going to like take this guy not being started with people being dropped off at our the hood of the car you know when when he starts looking in I just behind some properly without running into an angry no to and then house that got lit on fire and then bleeding into this glass and ended up at this freak off party really into this oh yes um so like he doesn't notice what's going on um and Joi and then I I'll like hand off the glass before I lick the wound closed well since she's given something of a accounting of actions I'll go for a more ephemeral understanding of how I got here that is my be so kind to go ahead and roll your dexterity Sub in this particular case as ling a men for a kiss well I be perfectly honest most men are very much Pig so that's a little easy pulling off the bite emptying of a vein infrastructure passing it all off without their notice is another matter entirely yep well uh so I am using oh he trusted in the security of his home uh and that GNA be extra where his current Trust of and and let's see Dex plus sub has well we've yet to see how that's going to come about but suffice to say Joi is finding it and has found it surprisingly okay one hard to make an investment of trust that actually gains interest oh I'm not very it's okay trust oh oh it's a heady heady felter word it's fine it's fine and like everything else has it c a little bit just barely as you all are India Jo L as you all are resting hiding sking present near enough at hand to be of some assistance that lead us as get ano's victim begins to elucidate because you know a little strange a little dirty by this roadside with added benefits it's all fine and good but where the [ __ ] is the jelly glass for what are you doing hold on wait wait wait wait uh I I a get no plans to be Nobody's Baby Daddy used from now like and he's literally freaking out not to the point where he's physically pushing her away but holding her at Arms distance like trying to figure out what the [ __ ] is the cup for why the look I I don't know what like this is just it's just so very very it is a comedy of errors it is the post nut Clarity hitting before the nut actually happened it is the very real confusion and I I I can't hit a girl but I I feel like I'm oh oh God and it is that stumbling stammering not into this any longer because now there's something at a left field that doesn't seem or feel right quick hookup he didn't mind whether you were you know a guy or a girl or any stuff in between that was all fine and good A little dirty strange but why do we have a wellish jelly glass it goes without saying that lame um like maybe I'm not so into this and accountability for her state of got protection just calm down Weighing on her mind dancing at the back edges of it as it is you're gonna really love this promise to Maddie and she uses after leaving joi's firing um oh no he she has his full attention she is the center of everything that is tiating about a random hookup she and everything that has the alarm Bells when people think back to what happened with for the moment she would be sticking with them how could you go along with that person how could you put yourself in all those more trouble moments happening at once the pull towards strange my God this this is how movie started not even the good on like where's jigsaw or Leatherface or dreaming what like something the animal pin only the iety of animals are inside as they made their way up to the larger house what has she has she slunk along behind them she you know prowled from around bushes and edges of buildings staying out of sight just be afraid of it look at it's nothing itly Stone forward to make sure that whatever they are engaging with with at the candy man's doesn't fall come on maybe back on fun or she simply wait her truck for them to be done for another kiss she probably just Waits her truck um watching she leans in and she's like tell me what you what your deepest desire is watching waiting right now it's a terrible horrible and in the midst of this no good very bad or at least it is in the M of this and anyone whoever Square PS attempting to fit into a trangular hole waiting is absolutely what if anything are the other members of the code destructive because several times throughout the course of waiting mingering loitering the natural question of what the hell am I doing runs rampant multiplies exponentially growing and filling all the spaces between the wrinkles of the nobody accidentally stumbles upon this burgeoning disly dly all right which me let's go ahead and R your Bo um wits plus opics yeah that works for me which is the antithesis to what the cod as a whole is facing as no India tries to Rouse the college boys the crap Bros the associates of Leader's victim who has come and gone at very nearly the same time India not complet shuffling off the Mortal coil but everything that they were at up until that moment exploded into a vibrancy that they had here to before not ever known possible and mind you they've gotten into Auto fixation they've got into multiple singulars multiple singulars multiple multiples groups of pation and in many cases fullblown ecstasy and relief they've Tred down the yellow brick road of pleasure they let their freak fly not only fly but act as their sail and North Star and in the act of being fed upon by the most ridiculously offensively attractive corpse even with all the soul searing pain in the grand scheme of things they have never had wellknown pleasure expt if you will never had that much pain for through every facet of a different reality a different plan of existence in a different version of this moment anyone who attemps forces moving not just in this plane of existence but right every faim of plane that's touching buding rubbing against and lightly penetrating this particular of aw that moment in another the in another time in another version of this reality sadly in this version reality because there are some truth they have yet to come the grips with is this what it takes mortal damnation of my soul the only way physically a cost she's trying to keep this particular faet of their ability to speak and realiz are understanding that you are never alone and in a similar state are beings that once were never things that covetously watch and are aware of a our em your pleasure is most important but at of his past unrealized and unated expectations Jos always lives in several aware that in the wide spectrum of all he able to see Quant of how things no one is ever alone and no one is ever singular in their existence the clouds above moving with all due El he could G base himself off of threatening to deposit all of their moisture upon the ground the ants crawling across the pav Maring to a beat of Their Own Drum it is late night they shouldn't be out but yet though there they are the night bird whispering and screaming in the distance the electric lights filing across the darkness to where you all are from Easy View that strange melodic sound of a city in motion the of persons those trees that lead all sorts of Flora and Fa across the various Dimensions the second di the third diens the fourth the na the mention caught up in the teleplay that is this more directly Two Step beautiful fractal reality able toce things that she would much rather not see and these boys these college kids could have been her brother exact might have been her brother 10 15 20 years ago when plays out had his turn of being the Local Hero been two weeks have and probably was solid weeks young adherence part and if not for several small differences he would still be here today [ __ ] Awakening and reising waste of men of the bruha prent of Beth woman and weeks since hell came to Earth IM used her body instrument two weeks since you've all been a or settling in finding where you stand get in that in that wild because as much as you ACC over the years you all being settled you all realizing that well to be perfectly honest you are here as potential skate goats you are here as tools of the will of the people of the Court transparent on your show theom in all that time having one teaching one education after another with a in the olden days countries watched other countries for stockpiling of meat and Sal various other small and speaking of wased opportunity your entire life the entire existence the entire meure of what you've done realiz singular we're in trouble you have always we should have been doing the same we don't know who they're going after and the fact that we don't know whom they're going after it most assuredly means us let's make sure all of our allies are prepared and it was that sort of the ones you can physically those members of your Co certain Nations and certain Empires Li as long because of that methodology and that ideology you realize that's exactly what the you've always been around you've been able to watch the world go by you've been able to observe and understand and catalog you know which buttons to push and which lover to pull on everyone else you had the opportunity invisibly many places as possible Ghostly and it's quite difficult considering the prince to whom everyone is though it is you can count on the Chantry actual it's an interesting position because one of the foundational principles that of the Chantry as whole of the PID that is notely moving against any other member it's a lot of a lot to say the least each member of the wrestling dealing addressing or not own particular with with the understanding that you can avert if you body politic the new government the Forerunner of course being Ali Smith Johnson's you all TR a lot of the candyman's plans being to be made be and crave out Maddie is sitting there in her there's the idea of the scorge sh Samantha and her Army of thin blood thin blood who carry out her will against Rogue let's be perfectly honest in the midst of allation the offering of blood the willing to share experiences there's no way that cognizantly nor be perfectly honest as region is Master inside of the Chantry and connected with there's also the fact the very real fact that the police are very much their way the fire department is very much headed in Direction well the perver of to Door who runs the entirety for nothing more than as vital is so as you all are leaving controlling the flow there in the trck blood the donors what is it you say don't decide to do or not do and where do you go to discuss privately amongst yourselves what is your next poor taste Baggers well having a strangle hold on the trade means that she is even that she seems to not Sue it to the candy man right two weeks and settling in yeah with the understanding is to the lay actually man is there like like a his main building yes and is it flooded with people yes but you Joi know what that would mean if he's throwing a party of this plebian level or so many others partaking of his Hospitality the twins are normally in charge when he is not around and while it seems as if he is always in fact around MD are you there much unfortunately too much like Joi he exists in a place of being forward and backwards at the same time so in situation where everyone party's begun and everyone's in the midst of their cups he typically unknown to most retires he slips away the mask of the everpresent host and Master of Ceremonies okay it seems as if we're some technical difficulties for he has the opportunity while that is hopefully it out Circle back around in the moment while that is happening while that is yet to be rectified and take life on of its own all right all right and historically um when Joi has shown up looking for him during these times as you for yourself on your VOR literally come to that yeah he's gone to a be so kind as to roll a I supp start leading them that way you know trying to get Lita away from prying eyes and still achieve what they need to do because honestly like why have he doesn't have much left and he is one of the few things that he has left I got one success on one day yeah you know honestly you got a pretty good success rate so Jo is just going to kind of all right everybody we need to get out of here now I know I know I know where ran is at so just come along uh India I'm sorry leave that guy there he doesn't matter [ __ ] you dude you don't matter I know I don't that's the uh I mean um sorry I I don't mean it like that I mean we got really big issues right now there is an understanding as to how bad things can be we all have an expectation as to this is the absolute Rock Bottom you can't get any worse than this this absolutely sucks but I can survive this I will Outlast this I will not give into and that's usually when the rug is pulled contemplating what we find out the hell learn how to love someone usually the moment when our senses of self are sorely tested as your fangs finally we need to kill somebody [ __ ] this we're just going to have to do it the roughway bare chested holding him gripping him as exact we don't need to kill anybody she's high on something damn yourish stumbling IST to this any your F strange ideas that you have right now unbeliev kept yourself until we have a moment to properly discussing your tongue understand that share your little pher librarian going be [ __ ] hot essence of life begins to man I would love but unfortunately doubled and redoubled by your efforts at the lingering monster your heart her kind of a once over looks back at the boys and she legitimately snars and then the hole of where you all are and what is actually out there in the dark reveals itself in the most garish they literally make childish little immature claws with their fingers as they your back feels as if it was was literally broken into two as if it was split in Twain member of the I can't eat them Su rat reveals himself in the midst of you all to save the day or You In This Moment coming to ruin this moment you hope it a he standing just under 65 wide enough that he would quanti it would quantify as a door it's flesh Gish color bruised dead slack on one side as if the skull two sides too small on that particular half of the face sunken in the eye protruding not because it's actually larger than the other but because the flesh around it is sunken into the very socket of the skull which itself appears too size too small on the of the face the one thing that is not two sizes too small are his overlarge shark like row of thing shark great idea looking around the the top of it mouth later is a great IDE teeth these nebish chicklet squared things row after Row the tongue resting against those several rows of teeth cutting and marring itself causing this black ior licorice thick V to constantly well up in its mouth and you only know this because as it strikes it unveils and unmask itself the fingers bent as if it was a arthritic elephant's hand funny thing is and here's the part that's absolutely sucks for sagging and walking faint wind the main house out to the house recognize that stench how was it able to hide that stench where the trees start it doesn't seem like all that when he was here before when he here previously Runners only about 00 or so feet but the fact that he knows that it's exactly 938 ft to that small bit of Comb with all of that water all of that space strangled for himself in the midst theg the party is not if the parties that are taking place are not solely Kindred Affairs after they are in full bloom and the wildness has begun and people are letting their hair down both the top their head and other places he slips away his presence still magnifying what's happening at the party but he leaves his grounds he leaves his the part the rainbow to its own devices notices this thing and he communes from wherever he's just oh Fu God what is that normally doesn't exist oh God the electric hum of people engaging in pleasure the vibrational energies of everyone letting their themselves experience their moments of happiness or joy that's a good idea and he's 938 ft she trying not to throw up away communing in the all most silence the voices of course carry cuz sound is weird out here in Bethany carries things that are high away sound like they are miles away and things several miles further on into the dark over they right at your shoulder interpose seeing that she's been hurt pretty so his communing has that small Thro that small vibration that small background backing beat and yet it is one of the calmest things the voice that out not in the poisonous claw where was able garble together the syllables blending into to be One Singular solitary thing as a watcher of people as a studier of emotions well damn all that academic [ __ ] Falls by the wayside it's angry but most Kindred are overly is having a hard time communicating but so do heavy individual that Joi is and just as India Whispers that Curiosity has to I'm not it might have been or who thinks it is hungry dancing there at the tip of your tongue furing you forward to try to embrace this moment get something from it some draw of wisdom or knowledge Joi you did just you stand lose I understand realize how short you actually are as you stand before it you realize how massive it actually is really don't as you stand before it trying to find the beauty in this moment because there's Beauty in every moment no matter how horrific and coming up empty fine is a painful thing fine it'll it'll work itself out tee the viscous thick T tin saliva that seems to be gumming up its mouth as it spittles and Roars do some things I don't like it size and girth massive and you know that with all of that mass all of that what sort of presence there's got to be something there that is remotely non hideous I'm there's got to be something there to keep that depressing not harmless as I seem El which is I suppose the theme for sense of what beauty is at Bay for the life of you and the life of all of your victims the first dealings with the naratu where you are coming up true I I don't know I thought maybe when I was brought back here maybe and maybe when I got my store running swinging and seeking was Me Maybe I had gotten away from all that maybe I could be better India but now as it very much looks as if this is a from the Bible you all grew up with various different iterations of Tes on we want David and what we are gener much what Jo looks like hopefully he'll be as lucky nobody far enough away from the party right now to have a convers sling does have anything in the way of weapons about 938 ft to walk all right Boop so decisions decisions character Jo and as you all come up with your battle plan if there is one if your battle plan is not by all means while you consider that you that's you there were no whispers about what was going to happen I don't think they're trying to work with us so I don't think it was the trere but I got to ask no nothing like that just you know making sure you have one's going to that deal an etiquette okay okay I do you sound is funny ly your voice is close enough and clear enough that you can hear the vibrations of your on moving air close enough where the are that are very much well distinguishable bold but just barely so out in the open are clouds are associating withing on the horizon line the Stars aren't tling and putting on a show for everyone because well the to that PR when the advisor to the upper members of Cu unlike most places there's this here is actually Theus of the backing the second most learnning Savvy Shir in all which is saying quite a lot outer hair F hairs on your forarm moving with the wind the wind bringing the laughter or exal the reers the quite discing but it is very very close because you can still hear them even this slow the inner Circles of mystery siren instead the Regent of the chant at this distance he has been sitting in the presence of educated learned members of the Chantry he has been in the presence of all of those who are seeking overthrow the is almost loud enough to of the party people and power talk as if it's ation but what's foundational aspect of the Universe At Large AER the he's sure that right now moving through the under verify who you all are is the man the myth the legend himself body language and his sanctum sanctorum his place well his sacred Place subtextual always a good host understanding of well in line with everything that she is are fighting all of your experiences traing behind so very many Ella Marshall she's some hot shot right now is verifying you are all still alone Maddie is expected to be the muscle expected to be the brute there as when they tell you when they snatch away your leash you are to attack as they tell you to you're there to put your body in the way when they tell you to but until then you're much like children of old expected to be seen he flicks his eyes over to India and he's like I think Marella Coleman Coleman knows we're here so um makes do anything stupid wasn't that the whole point of being here is that to you understand the situation your your opinion on your how would you feel if somebody came to your private spot without really announcing themselves after causing trouble keep talking about this well announce us place of yours this uh borderline Watchtower Bethy it's Joe I'm sure you can tell uh we need help I I'm trying to understand why would you even want to be there like it's nothing seems to be happening like everything comes here like where I'm from it is more like sh report than everything that you mentioned about Beth you know actually um everything happens there but I believe and correct me if I'm wrong here when we were talking about think MD knowing was the one that said like that couldn't have happen like Bethy would probably help stud it couldn't have happened but create rituals I'll memorize what everyone else has already done have you had the opportunity of of making something of building something well of course everybody I know y you know that's how Cara found her you know twins stuck out there themselves I did not all that time first on your left then on your right then you do the same over your right rear shoulder than over your left and finally now I didn't realize that you would not be coming alone otherwise I would have prepared more odur not that you all had the opportunity of partake in anyway but I see that you all are here and it'd be rude to send your P back the way get back there Y come on further out a little further ahead we get a chance to sit and watch all that glorious water move and do the things that water does under the light no moon tonight they're not actively doing anything disc so much theying and they know that there's things that I heard you up to Y open up a shop and start getting friends amongst the Collegiates and kicking open that's the fact look at them their hands together they're Gathering so many ritual look at you miss IND just making yourself the home no matter where you go I must admit I was surprised that you all comported yourself so well hanging out there in the major leagues so you can imagine my equal surprise when y'all need to come home especially with everything that's been going on around here why don't y'all tell me how y'all been making it out there in the big city what plans and people and places y'all manage to be done by and see it's clear just kind of seeing this this object of trust in a sanctuary unable to we don't we are what we tell ourselves we are we end up being subtle running from his eyes couple years ago it's not good idea what you un than is it that good that is bringing you to tears of that good that your anger is bringing you to an exhalation of yourself Bo get yourself together steps in throws his arms around you as if you are a loving Uncle younger sibling and he gives you the opportunity if you were other to be close enough to sing Fang without any on his anarch that level of trust is not Subic Kindred as as a whole as just as Predators portion of it are danger to not only themselves but those they allow close enough to touch this between you and me those they allow unimpeded access to themselves can and do through purpose and negligence harm each other so very closely yet here he is one of the one of the harpies lock step with Miss Blake opening himself up presenting himself not only as a Target Miguel to be perfectly honest Vic is probably going to victim of a random arson attack tonight and much like the overly emotional overly individual he is he'll he'll Embrace back and just kind of sobbing into the the chest of Coleman just they burned it down they burn it all down to me but luckily I don't know him so I don't owe him anything I tell him anything or keep them they took everything home tonight but the plan is somewhere around the neighborhood of 3:00 a.m. going they take everything for nothing about my need get thein only manag to get otherwise I would have perhaps learned more but I assume that maybe the gossip wasn't true and it'd make a lovely birthday present for you later but they trusting old Candyman Ash just got your back he waves and disappears from sight moving down one Hall then the next quickly moving on to to the C keep make saying goes leaving you with hours to kill well you know with this many guests it means that we going to be sitting on the floor all nice and comt that's that's fine that's fine um um I hate I hate to try and and shake the Box before I open the present but what did you what did you save and there you now you the difference between just two by two to begin whistling and creating some and a magnanimous Gest allow me a bit of we turn our gaze back to the remainder of the coder on their way to Jo Haven standing before one of the members of the sewer ratch of sh for who's taking a particular interest in them this evening the muffled and snarled is annoying if nothing else that was you I the made at home inside someone else tends to get out of hand sometimes but she always trying to do what's right for the world at L do these grandio things of heroism usually ends up with somebody dead than they should have been but she means well it is a oh also are they trying to kill each other Oracle of Doom and it's arketing Annabelle between always always have me something about twin flames only being able to be D once both go out one of them bring themselves to do it themselves always somebody else take care of their business so that the world is better place seems that know this was yours plan that he's been conducting from a far hasn't gone into much details about it but eventually they'll both get what they want which is a release from this world or to watch it burn maybe both theologize I'm apologizing because she she said he needed to die for everything to turn out right she never wrong I would not have oh she she is never wrong but then again neither is he ca that to be with their ability to seeti is gone possib what's going to come want to feed that is are pushing things that happen pushing things to stop it there the way you pushing and you not never can tell exactly what Fallout of that and let's I've always been told that the more that you fight against something the quicker you bring it about I'm very sorry at least whenever it comes to seeing into the future that crazy stuff um what he's he's still interposing himself but he's like since she is attempting to go the route of nonviolence he's just kind of one hand extended backwards side pushing her back as he's just ready anyone have anything you want to ask President should [ __ ] get real all the while just like looking at the ground in front of it and not directly at it because of course you are my God y'all tend to always actually this thing is proof that God doesn't exist ever since um Maddie that seems accurate said that she didn't know anything about joji's Place India has not looked away from out here and he very much giving her the oh I know I'd be happy to leave if you want us to leave and it's up to you jaw is clenched because she doesn't want to air their dirty laundry in front of this person cuz she knows him but doesn't know him well but she is staring holes through Maddie right now do you have your uh fate casting lot Channel open yes um I suppose if all right so I'm adding nobody has anything else to say I'll just I can and it's on go back to chatting away please do okay you've been through a lot we we've all been through a lot and those who did this to me doson presence to um it'll be all right it will be eventually everything works out one way or the other even if we not here to see it India kind of walked up behind Joi and puts her arms around his waist and puts her chin on his shoulders as they're walking and very very low so it's meant to not reach anybody's ears but Joi she Whispers I'm sorry I got six she was cuse willpower on a check that you already got five successes on I sure didy he already tried to murder me I I don't know how to feel about that is not capable just squeeze I feel very strongly about apologizing Joi is not a man all he has to do is roll six got the unho Trinity it's it's his biggest flaw he's something of an open book how he feels is playing on his face which in and of itself depressing he just really likes through me afraid and d uh well but that is not as the attackers of their journey toward theab by L what it is as she hugs and holds on to gend to it and he's looking their isolation my brain it is a monstrous example as to what day of Nas is something akin to Blind rage building nice the unspeaking all singing all dancing the shock of what she said settles on to him unloved of things craves contact craves it so much that in the situation of protecting its Touchstone from a distance would unveil itself to the horror of its own heart and those who cast eyes upon it I can't say that I very much is ever been Arbiter of single minded gracious when it comes to receive and guess those as it lashes out my performance tonight will probably be considerably underwhelming into the many many things that have been taking place since you all help toal pain dispose of orbital sockets are LAN doesn't happen I know some of yall might exactly the most understanding about across face apology seat in such a level that requires somebody else it touched you other way sure that cold almost slick slime that you felt on your cheek skin of that huge humongous sh looks elant Chantry as is getting involved if they but I guess I mind as well considering for all here unluckily for you many with standing Toe to Toe with to is they are super much of what I said was strong patent false even Above It Up of course and I'm sure that somewhere L all good forgive me talking ill about de the strength that naturally come with the vast that allows been those here Among Us who AR really breathing s hold possibility Miss Miss Logan is one of them her sister is one of the the she and this is the thing that's laugh for a family to be having such bad look they her sister is a member of the Chantry of the pleasure of a kiss not quite me meeting up to the it is of the Embrace amazing how bad of a luck you got to be to not just be kill with your family one of y'all end up something and other one of y'all end up as something superficial damage to one you all most of the Down Club that are members of the blood I've been working at sinking their teeth into various they have a you transational organization going on this very much feels like that this very much feels worse than that 9 mm clean and late as maze 22 or 25 most others look and that goes for their versions as well now I know what you're thinking what does this have to do with the prostin you have not been so you have nothing to compare this pain to by others they watching your several layers of network that have gone back 5 times even more decades you know what their goal is kind it's not just the accumulation of use that information toward the end of their originating officers I hear there's 12 of them go ahead and your fire places that won't be replaced get rid of a prance but you don't get rid of a whip because if we drive away the hood problem or should grab whichever hi in positions where they efficient overall public good keeps them entrenched they don't want to be the number one or the number two both be number three four places that don't get replaced when the regime changes but it can guide policy suddenly thank you you can do more by not slamming down a gabble by not writing a check indeed indeed of building the laws that everybody else must follow it's all fine good the princess get to say which law that's going to be handled in but if you were the right hand to the right hand of the prince the left hand to the left hand of the baron if you were buried publicly in the middle the only con connection between the two you hit the truck and the squishy remains for mate with sufficient Force to cause the hood to slam cloth one connected by Blood no perhap put the C several Paces in front of the horse they trying to take they try to take out my my and I find that offensive I take that absolutely person if you are mine understanding that only a poor carpenter blames his tools there's no one in this world old the next that has any right of attempting to but planning do you hm pop up they had the unmated go automatic sneak attack on this monstrosity of a thing literally attempting to beat your Cod into paste the fact I could moves simply faster than and more invisible to make sure that my prince no fireworks no firing P striking the cartridge in the sh to get forward in explosive manner causing all sorts of physical pain as the slug itself into your target deep breath just a simple keep right back at it you understand what I mean it is beyond infuriating you're not working with Beyond every sense of what no I'm working with him but not to kill my prince I don't get two [ __ ] what happens up but mytle will not be disturbed by their magn the reason why unfortun your intrusive thoughts are not St not because while um well nominally affected combat I believe too mostly effective when it comes to several underhanded dealings would you been this long enough to understand that and to tell me how you would feel looking down into your hands to get along and do bus when you are are trying to control with your hands shaking your forearms tin and the barrel of your gun working with them to achieve a go hear frustration at only matter failing you in this moment they will not harm my prince they will not upturn my city they will not bring their chaos of Street for here luckily fairly Good Egg when it comes to it I don't trust W or none of them others as far as I can throw them to be perfectly honest but luckily for you the click draws luckily for you the draws it understand you pointed a weapon at it you pointed a weapon in the same general breathing space as its Touchstone which is laying G staring up in horror at what become of Life how much of a Rel that is I you would turn your back on your own you would threaten something more valuable than the entirety of the world 100% of the way who cares about the cowboy I was try to fighted Oakley who circling around the vehicle the two who attacked its touchone you of Destruction aiming at the touchone who choked up [ __ ] that was nowhere near our agreement Bethy is resolutely to remain Bethany motherfu the tell physical signs of such I will go toch right this moment and we will the Rory pauses and look and the one step as tall as it is that one step covers far too much ground is it m turns and pivots taking a step putting itself firmly between you is businessone India is yelling to get in the truck get in the truck and attempting to grab both Annabel and into the TRU understand that business is as it sets it eyes on you business is how we provide for ourselves and most important say Prov as to go ahead and roll your resolve and craft be conducted with a personal sense of Ethics because ruining somebody else's business is taking arms against those that matter to them people that they would die for and if you don't understand that and doing everything in your power is okay go ahead against your resolving C the same to you tells you what side of Co you on sure this very very person as I say it no one [ __ ] with my prince and no one [ __ ] with my city this is Bethany this is not shreport this is not New Orleans this is not Los Angeles none of what goes on anywhere else in the world need ruin what we have going here we have 12 capable isting Kindred willing to bend themselves for the public good and put themselves at risk anything that challenges that anything that puts that at you're not sure how you you made it possible treated like the enemy it is not entirely sure but you don't really friend to friend somehow you thinking by a little chance uh forgive my humor up friend to friend your Associates would you be able to Happ know who amongst your particular associat use a little work they look more eego with all to choke up some such as using mys and my we have an understanding but clearly not everybody's understanding what we understood we thought we were having the same understanding you got to Pat yourself on the back it's a great example of a brown pelican of course you know color would make it pop more but there's definitely something you can sell by the roadside or put it in your window make a gift to someone probably need to sand off the edges a little bit but for a rough looking at moment of just absent minded caride to MD that's good still looking at the question is as you look at it um if I'm not why don't you make it I'm wrong here because it's it's been a little while since we've heard the name of this particular chir but was it not the through the air on its way to hunt or M or both a visitor from they're not quite as bad as dogs but they're pretty damn close I believe storm that was in there too um yeah bro I don't know the name of the at least I can't [ __ ] remember it because haha funny but I can't remember the name of the trir from out of town but I do know that bro was there does anybody remember the trir from out of Town's name terrible with names all right let's see um what here this will help me figure it out what city was she from anybody remember that I think it was New Orleans she they had come through New Orleans it wasn't all right nobody obviously uh the memory of your group has failed is there a dice roll that we can do for this in order to bring for that memory big results big things you always just make up a name small that would be terrible unlike theage of the sometimes Flags sometimes specific and filling in the details filling in the gaps it's very much part of where we are right now like what the characters are feeling and where they feel that what you call them squadrons or a pouch aim is they that moment it was a tense moment there were lots of inal indirect and direct threats thrown as they were fighting for size afterwards three gallons that's you know the average gallon is about 8 pounds that's 24 PBS of water around little Lego pieces together missing a few blocks but having enough all things not that it actually does but the water is used when it when it hunts bro that bill to make sure that marus I think the primagens advisor don't realize that they're actually dead already there's nothing worse than it's build and staring down throat attempting someone who whisper nothing from a second or third position yeah anything more actually fact that here further south of where you are and and the it's a it's all over the state but it's so isn't it ordinary in average that most people don't realize how strange the bird is I'm pretty sure I'd remember if it's everywhere it's like how most New Yorkers feel about I'm in did I did I say man I am in India your name is just kind of stuck in my head right now on great height in comparison to other of the area yeah uh not mire India's bro gang dive bombs it's PR able to find its prey from soaring above head to what it feeds on beneath the water surface it's a miraculously strange bird always out of its element but able to blend in that is not the best news that I could have possibly heard anything in particular that Maddie is studying the the twins seemed to be under the impression that you were working with them because they were threatening you at least that's that's kind of what she said that you had to work with them one of the twins not yeah Empress ain't ain't completely wrong as I told you I do work with them we do have we do make strange bed fellas but the reason why I'm what what Reggie what her name was Reggie oh oh so Reggie was there as well Reggie is the trir from out of town and she said that Marcus had sent her in with Madie to talk about making sure targeting any M specific another the and making sure that we knew that if we were not in line with plan that we were disposable but wait Reggie's the name of the primagen up there Marcus black was the advisor yeah well I mean if you if India if you remember up there talking as well towards little scattered at the time with Logan World there his throat smooth M are moreing death there is what you are there's final death and that little bit of final death you only get to experience your when youor your body is 100% a course is moving quick it is unaffected by any thing in the area like the r you are able to to your your eyes what smells and sounds you hear but there's nothing you can do to stop it there's nothing you can do to focus elsewhere yet your body is dead and her contracted several keeping time as it were building strength as if it was testing the limit every time almost as if someone had the ability to reach across the void when we stepped away of wherever they were and began animating whatever it is was closing turning towards Lita corpse when we stepped away Maddie was Consulting with her the advisor to the primagen of he kind of gives a the entire prier nation of free Port Labyrinth of for a moment really earnestly believe that they are a nation unto themselves um the trir as a whole as a monolith as far as I can tell every tremier except the prince up there is as isolationist as you whatever they involved in everyone else's business in one shape fashion or form what about mom who was out of town cities and most domains the now here's the thing I'm not sure how much sh all the nature of while the primen is the face thean police they are only the face of the clan every priment is only carrying out the wishes and thoughts the the domainers arit of everything in that particular area while I would like to say that the inside the they are higher than the prince they are higher than the council the line death and continued existence inside the Have Eyes Ears Sentinels friends and worse in every corner of Kendra Society usually they have a pagent so once more from the the TR as it they then the closes on l no one has an intelligence one correct and as I havs which means you all which means you all each and sing solitary one of you understand what do get in car the king Andy man mentioned the networkers always having persons in second and third positions positions that won't be change when there's a change or leadership change or even a political change in V Las Vegas is led by The Venture Logan's sister was in Las Vegas um various other important people to you all are in Vegas in the structure in the Inner Circle of whatas Vegas I'm so glad volunteered it's by the wi wh of the Chantry when she drags them in the center she slides behind the wheel and all right let's [ __ ] go and four and a half counties of political Le in the vehicle she never got out she was in the back seat and she pointed the got out of the back seat okay I just circles within circles Wheels within Wheels plants within PL and all of them in motion oh my God that is not the right question what goal is anyone's guess why are the tremier let's go why the trere what if they're that's impossible because after all if they were in a Civil War what sort of disarray would that leave the entirety of the region as the driver you all are aware what they stated they the replacement of their your composure plus Drive contested by its attempt to smash through the to get to Lita to destroy all of that sense made in America you see it by way of being made in China and shipped to America to the plant where is symb to you can't quite put your finger on pertinent details that might be shared by many that might be brought up by I see what Fate has others I see what Fate has in store but without all of the pieces you see the lightning for what it is fate hates us you see the rift in time space for what it is but what that is still doesn't have a word for you just yet and with that consideration it is 35 after the hour let's be back at 45 um Lita you still here trying to decide if I should do something stupid always very good I heard everyone else did not step away we are a minute before we're supposed to return but let's dive in we have stupid we have had several um points so Annabelle that you all stick in your murder boards small mirror your conspiracy thread refle your cherish M her or it Vision um interest if you like Ming something or if not with all of the information sitting there to be plucked and used towards your own purposes or manipulated for your own end she's trying to like kind of distract it with its not quite a mic drop not quite a defining moment of anything the information is out there little prayer as she does there are several pieces of course you right now various other things good obviously and yet Ministry would do here we all are the codery lounging on very throw pillows and soft cushions around the center of a floor a electronic fireplace vibing in the background the gentle uh plasticized Flames flickering with various es and flows of light is still throwing off heat but it's not actual kind go ahead and roll your Charis bear rug from an actual pers as to be used and Asher has made himself quite more comfortable his silk and pan already denoting how comt could be you know what no his silk robe is slightly open showing a little bit more chest as he gently Rants and Raves and shares his stance on things question is what now [ __ ] you willpower I got three I'm telling you leave better enough alone well I no is always the question isn't it the whole I guess as um oh Joi and nmer taking their time everything is possible certainly whatever ask him that very question you know just problem with dreams I want to deal they don't have any bounds they don't have any rules or laws that I don't know how to do it without making life worse for all us them there aren't any social taboos or stigma attached to whatever happened inside one's own mind I'm not going to let it go normally but every every way I think IND Flo the vehicle just as it it just seems to make it worse in my head the reflective service all sorts of Lights or stop that are com after us reflected light it always just leads to sh Port INF Flames to very real push and drive towards some otherness some offer some intreaty is made or don't flickering moment out periphery out of periphery but I don't plainly for time anal and Joi that's the funny thing about being relatively Immortal see reflected in the space of prise of Tomorrow is what holds most people back people failed to realize kend especially failed to realize that tomorrow means you only have today the game changes if you wait on your LS for everybody else do what it is they going to do what you were going to do is already too damn late personally am going in the middle of am going up to Expressway Main Street leading through town you each and every last one of you [ __ ] need to find out what you're going to do or you're going to allow others to do to you crawling up out of the Tall Grass the creek them [ __ ] shimmering reflective surf of and they have already damaged people that I actually care for and that is too many SS that are unforgivable mind I like I like tabos I like breaking all of those things but there are some things that are just simply Beyond The Pale all statu Beauty so you have excuse I need to go talk to the fire chief cuz you know [ __ ] nobody worth a [ __ ] that has proper political connections and he's down there talking about code violations why so many ceased to be and if you all are here you are to stay and if you all are not you are welcome to go I shall return moment you see what that pass his like it was not quick slips back on his slippers and as silent you see the as a butterflies arant thought on remains of its eyes before it became as cabin to his sanctum santing away into spread wide round on the pillows cion settled in of it mouth a real up its beneath its tongue limbs being swollen and um we heard whereas normally that would cause anyone to have a tear in their eyes is normally that would cause anything what are we willing to ignore you strike a blow for the crest of sharing that moment with it bringing it to the present and instead of causing a pause or a stoppage of animosity and aggression as India floors the truck and you all begin to slightly Twist and Turn as the torque literally attempts to tear the engine out of the vehicle oh you do what you got to do surges forward like catapult Unleashed it's swinging clubs of an arm through the back portion of the truck and causing the truck to jerk and Lurch it's bed bent and crumpled body laying there beneath all of the covered squishing we' got like an overripe tomato danger to our the jerk and the slamming of the vehicle left and right inside the cab no one having the opportunity to throw on seat belts everyone be kind to increase your superficial damage by one we basically got an all out War coming as the truck damaged and yet not completely Bren continuing and Coring off of the guard rails down the road away from the slower moving no it's not about whether you think you are or not it's about whether people using us do well that was terrible never again never again it doesn't matter that that's semantics um I'm going to make I'm [ __ ] hate this place I'm gonna try and make sure all of us make it through this [ __ ] everything about this place yeah it's GNA be a little more difficult than you think all I don't this might just be some optimism on my point I don't know your place is I don't think it's going to be as difficult as take that exit no no not that one uh three exits down I've gone through a small little war myself already up reaction tell us like 30 minutes ahead time so I'm not uh okay exactly unprepared to have to speed it up go back into it uh yeah just just tell us early okay what was it like last time well we should have taken that turn quick bloody yeah I know and ah there there's a there's a way to get around it though anyone came out the other better does anybody have an explanation for why [ __ ] that God seems to hate us of all the people that we could have Beth of all the people so after the one that's got a [ __ ] no for was that Miguel I don't know that Tor that was the one oh my God can no offense to any to care 300 feet you're going to want to take a right Miguel theu that guy was creepy he thought he was going to get some side of the road [ __ ] and then was and then crazy which that just makes it worse that salt in the wound that you know like a psycho analysis actually even if he's not involved in this because he had him to the list in the core of their being I don't see why not little collateral damage never hurt one that is probably true I specialize in collateral damage it was probably someone they loved before all that [ __ ] happened to them did you see that I don't want to remember any of it I it but I don't want to being passive in this is the way to go that our enemies have already shown their hand they've shown they're willing to kill our friends and burn down our places I what what about the road ahead of us want to said I ain't seen nothing but road in front of us and I had already taken your turn so where am I going now just just you'll see it there's going to be like some railroad tracks right past the railro track do the same I didn't those on don't mistake me doctor no no no no no no no we didn't pass the ones I'm talking about want you to see me differently um you kind of looks at the the puddle of Clint more than willing I'm guessing he's just dead burn that whole [ __ ] City down if I have to to teach them that lesson oh oh there it is there it is you see that big flashing yellow sign there Coleman I take that turn is a great guy he's one of the best no no no no no you're supposed to go the opposite way at that City these are my people stop stop actually you noticed something what's wrong here this this is a map brought up something that hasn't [ __ ] map out of this since we brought it up out the glove box and I a point point to where we're supposed to turn boss who supposedly point you to where my place is started half of this [ __ ] show us the the route and popped into Bethany and let [ __ ] out into the world and got us all ined whatever the [ __ ] we're infected with so that we can't look in the mirror that [ __ ] everything hurts okay so we are we on his way and amongst us he's an agent weird Coleman was talking about I am not I am not okay with that whatever and and we we pretty much figed out it was one of those [ __ ] trir that did that I'm just got to figure out who and then put them in the ground deep in the ground if you put the paranoid light in lens of somebody looking for something that does scream trir what if it's is follow get I don't really give a [ __ ] about what m is I hopefully I can deal well that's just rude oh [ __ ] no the problem is how we've got so Theon on the far side room completely Inon are we still on board with the plan to kill thece woman roughly about five 59 I'm not sure I clearly athletic but sure yeah pale almost translucent skin you can see the blue of her veins there around the ankles and rising up in the meantime while we were planing plotting I need to figure out what the [ __ ] happened to Clint or more specifically who happen to Clint visible and we can add that on the to-do list shimmering reflective light from the you want me to bring him PL that corner was completely dark a moment before F I'll clean up but her skin seems to absorb or more accurately reflect some of the light for the Neighbors if I didn't have a jellified human being uh parked outside my place uh I didn't mean any offense by this I I just didn't think that you were part of the problem that are wise oh but I am it all began with me okay not too there is the cost of doing business that every understand the trere true death upon second death upon the final death that you all face all the years of your life am completely free completely free all the time is up to you relatively I'll be able to stop them the older the longer youve outrun death or not the faster and I'll get there eventually as the one of his kind your Cod greed and their survived through they trusted the wrong Immortal approximate and now as they spend different EP of their existence Godly amount of different faces break him and his already broken mind and there's no way that a kindred who had been a kindred before you all dreamed of be wet moist squishy and limber up in preparation for what it shouldn't be a moldering splotch of semisolid viscous matter underneath all of the camouflage you all put into the back of that truck yet the truth of the matter lays plane as part of that splotch that didn't go forward out of the bed of the truck out of the rear the truck onto splashed and splashed against the interior rear window of the truck cab what about those who didn't bits of semi solid sliding down the window and into the rest of the camouflage material at the back of the truck offer the problem with that is that it doesn't make any sense I extend they'd been dead longer than each of you an official evitation not the trapped ramblings of a mad woman that I once was all the years of their existence not trying to paint with pictures seem to leave them not trying to appeal your better good your emotions like a whale be seconds moments days exploding as the gases of theen compounded upon itself gas banding the flesh until dangerous or is as dangerous we're already stuck in the middle so I I don't really think we want to be another part of a gang bang blubbery flesh and contents of completely honest nice that's a no from you excellent I like decisions this is had the opportunity of speak always a problem for each of you to the point where India much like Joi does not have a rearview mirror inside if you can make promises flashing the mirror you all were privy to its existence I don't know will not be oh I will not another possib are right this moment on top of the next Can you feel it yes and that Maddie is how this particular ritual should be carried out it is much like attempting to find a butterfly every phenomenally impossible but very easily done if you know how anesthesia of CFT the basic component how best to carry there is an imagination into the reality prayers their wishes their wants they are strengthening me they are giving me the ability to do this and she stands and the moment that she stands feet are clothed in Shadow stilettos that turn into boots that rise up her knee the Shadows that were obfuscating and hiding her face her upper arms and chest and in complete darkness and inspiration slowly melding into each of the facets of the ritual part of that allows you to see just how she once was might to focus those energ within your the ghost of what we once were the reality of where we are now I'm sure you've heard quite often several members of the chant remark on the body dead have bodies and yet are still dead we are not alive and so po of our thoughts some Focus some FY that helps us to generate the energy necessary draw it and the transluc of our that so that we might find where the victims of our mired warm to that of the Des whether one was a child of the moon or the earth born FLH the creatures of dream almost purish imagined realities made manifest or worse yet you can find one of us such as yourself me or any of the others the point of origination mag where the that has is that so much less excitement fix us in this moment of Frozen time cared through each night come to in times you watching with enough practice Focus watching someone guarante bring heartache step time to those who have kept her imprisoned all right so do I have to roll anything because despite the fact that Joi just insulted the toror CL he is a toror he is isn't he through the woods the city streets just kind of enamored as she across the veil in some plac where the dragon will that more of an advanced study I believe but yes you made track your prey your do within range of course I will there was this tracker some of them some years ago those who AC originally from the Seattle not those who were used not the pis not the fools those who made choices respected at least as a Tracker chck one particular ritual to the point where they didn't have to for you they got nothing from it except for the 45 minutes to to the first few times until you have it down they say besides that besides that inine region besides of little went sideways they were as steep the wheel as it were the potential one has it's all very much from it I gave them nothing on purpose I kept to myself I could have reached out nothing with that's I thought they head Somewhere Out East Northeast of B to me one willing Be Honest track your victim because that what they one willing to look into the mirror and see who they were and not blink right one who would seek to not use an moment to escape but to face all the horror that life gives on a nightly basis just one brave soul at any time could have freed me as I grew closer after so many years why are you interested in this I learned considering all that mind you might be pry to I was do not all the information that You' been times a year here why this particular ritual now as everyone turned away from their own hideousness unable to see the beauty in all of their mistakes and is coming up on the trir ACT because you understand that's what they do there's an oath it's a ritual there's a celebration and I want to make sure I through sacrif ing someone powerful someone close to them someone valuable to them sure to assure that their rain lasts another hundred years F I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen and I will burn down there everything I will help the crazy little assassin the little black fellow do whatever it is that he needs to do because it will cause turmoil it will cause chaos it will be honest in this attempts and while yes I could use more assistance more Associates more more honesty I don't need you all and a no is to be respected but I thought it to let you know my aims my plans are my own and there's so many of them yeah isn't that right so India what he looks over to India she's looking at me you're not funny Ali's in forer is your code remate S I think I am absolutely hilarious you develop a sense of humor after a while there's so many opportunities to practice your delivery your mind the the weight in which you say things him why him Michael why him yes good leverage faith in others [ __ ] but is not necessarily factual consideration in his dying moments he mentioned you the majority of bethan nightes are he put himself at RIS to get his to safety there's no reason to over over body out there and Prince car shining that day the bir were quiet and even now political dve even now of where he exists be honest he calls out to you and tries to keep you from talking to me because he doesn't want know that he died scared as Brave as he was he was still afraid was afraid he would be there to see protect you and he feels horrible about watching you die it's good to be prepared of course so with that amount of love you understand there wasn't anyone else I use to approach you control don't have to hunt them across talk about Lita Lita just doesn't care about anyone including herself so there's no reason to approach her she has to be spoken with and given the opportunity twice now she's told me no in with emotion but there's an option you know you can say yes now you can be free of your sire be free of their plans you can help do something important and Lasting but you aren't good now are you how many lives have you ruined how many countless hundreds of people stopped living because you refuse to Simply go out and B put a very fine point on the matter I understandability no was a no stand in the way of no it's not a maybe although you know that was a commonality that was a thought for a very long time but no it was a maybe but if I if they kept talking you could change mind not of the CH not them you're able to utilize your knowledge of them to ensure that you are successful Inay you have brought this my attention my unfortunate responsibility or do you prefer Joi that is what she calls you so many times both the what she calls you now just I can perhaps I don't save need that and Grant you right now please a full night so that you might tie up all assurances why not I show you what she's do most of I can do this is a matter of Greater import that we are successful in allowing the others too right now dispatch this very moment have no doubt that this is for the better of the country City who's the Assassin that you differing Val you said somebody was already working with you are you talking so he doesn't know it yet he yes what resources do you need ass their loyalty Justice within it or dispatch them I find it Del deliciously nonsensical someone who spends the entirety of there forever breaking everyone else's taboos someone who spends the entirety of there forever a matter that must be rectified before either verify their loyal to the of other someone who had made it their business of it or dispatch to pleasurably seek everyone else's wanderes what happens at to your judgment as you know them better than inable spent enough time Gathering Intelligence on their behaviors and their pressure points it is do go find them it is something this is your mission this is your TK and I will soie provide a stall before the IM and before the reg and the pr decide something good take notice Jonathan will you a defense of your home and your people will you add your strength to their prayers and their fantasies when they stare into the mirror will you give up fighting what you are so long as the challenge doesn't require you to apply yourself up doub your strength will you join diing deep is not something that comes natural to anyone no one wants to fight everyone want to win CU you know Indie is not going back on doing what's right you know much like her brother as Afraid of the Dark As she is she will into it every single time that we might be able to discuss that matter to how we came into being which her magic order was the foundation of all of that lovely Glory within static reality that's another matter for a different conversation for now entirety of the rest of are there any resources you need to complete your task that you don't care about anyone including yourselves no nothing and no one matters save your ability to say no all of you all with your own Myriad of issues boils down to that I'm hoping that she's not right as honestly as honest as she has been easily I'm hoping that that of you as you associate with them You' been to their Havens here in the city that you would understand where they might be here's the official invite you promise not to harm Mary or Coleman wasn't there a central location of one of your members that you all didn't you understand didn't you your prince child when she stares into a mirror sees as she is Other M everyone seen their past or what they hope to be or what they want to be she looks into the mirror she sees herself she sees who she do mourn her L of your she sees all of that lovely dead flesh she sees all of that feral ferocity she looks her every time looks a mirror do you know that 80% of midnight tomorrow are unable to meet their own eyes for longer than 3 and a half seconds when staring into the mirror not her that's the first place she looks at M leaves her a longing gaze to which she looks into the truth she is she doesn't way that's and then she goes out and does something that's great that's not a yes Mir do you promise to to not harm the people I love oh I would never harm the people you love it sounds like I'm playing you all do that all the time's Haven here keep secrets the truth you outright lie comparatively run from what you are operation you choose to do nothing fo hold into you societ far more than anyone else ever as you had there have truth spoken with the full chest India Joi Lena and painted with truths that apply to everyone oril what dude I'm sorry I I spent the last see this is what I keep trying to tell you in therapy I'm I am going to you know pull out the good old the room that we're in is there a mirror on the on the side there I don't reflective surfaces the front door they can easily be he'll kind of hop out the back of not want the bed of the truck and walk way up is the troubling part kind of larger side door bringing [ __ ] that can't really go through the front it's the reflection pop it open I've got some there there aren't any pictures that are behind glass there are no cell phones there's nothing reflective in this room on the roof and yet here and she's speaking directly not through faimes or avatars or hidden meanings based on emotionality she's speaking to you all directly can't hurt maybe is Jo just purify him or something I just need the promise mirror that's it that theory but like what happens if one of the harp first well we'll get him in I'm not sing with that thing same place not a good idea well certainly not inside the other options stay unaligned with her leave her to harm those that I care about whenever she feels like it kind of just rolls up she is going after our enemies not going to have enemies that can't handle on our own okay you really want that to be we Expendable pieces in a burgeoning war you said it yourself MD you're worried that we won't make it out

yeah you got rolled four oh no and not One Day More it is a lovely night despite leave you it I understand there's a party she moving towards the as she moves her boots become comat of waffle semisolid combat boots bits of that's left because as you go for to the arm and pull the the military chest and urban you can of the body crop top far completely but the jacket is such a fetching little thing it's Le rein all the right places for stretch forearms she's wearing fingerless BL this snail like gel of mucus it's the appears on her head hair immediately instantaneous going into on to the left forarm with the wrist connected to the rest of the hand and tendons that were once connecting the forearm to the Elbow down the rest of the arm swinging freely droplets of wait did step out of the reflection and walk out the door as a person vessel that you're holding onto the ground Beneath Your Feet luckily for you you know it's not hard packed dirt and it's not groundable it's actually a concrete didn't step out of a reflection no she stepped out of the Shadows not top of and thankfully that's a little easier to spray down and H down save where it hits the concrete there's almost an immediate Brown the blood is older than the concrete itself to sit for years this is the last night of relative outside of that it's an easy to fix thing the scent of Kindred F it's irony melon sweetness reaches your nose and there's a understanding as the there really is no point in all way after all it is still still mostly fresh and India for conversation drip ding back how did the body get so much of a in it normally when you all talk to them or when you meet your final moment I don't know it just everything begins to dry and desiccate much like the body would have been or would if it had been allowed to sit where you where you all take your goodbye tour around this mudball as if the body had been there the entire amount of time that the Kindred had been around yet this this holding what you're holding in your hand there's easily a that [ __ ] never showed me what kin was up to godamn it of the stuff just splatter all over the bit of the truck that guy strikes him and throws the rest his train of thought out the window ah I didn't word it right God no I'll see Coleman I'll say goodbye to Coleman but oh baby doll you would never going to word that right she is an entity that we couldn't possibly understand you knew yeah yeah yeah but also like I'm not exactly a slave she accepted my wording she accepted my wording so long as I whatever she's asked me to do doesn't go against my goals or plans I'm good to go I I I guess all right let's let's drag it over there and we'll come back for the arms such thing as mind control where she can make you think your goals are her goals you being a dog I thought you'd be a bit more harm anyone I care for not that kind of doctor do you when have I ever doctor the mentally psycho analyzed me from a safe distance with a very quiet voice okay well any okay you said do too much on this already in a bad mood and getting on to me what the [ __ ] did you know about my house going up in flame weirdly like I didn't know [ __ ] about it is plushy the word no plush's not the word thumbs over India she says otherwise please stop lying because when you said that [ __ ] I smelled the lie I don't know how to describe it I'm I'm going to stop keeping about what they said to you so whether you realize you knew or don't realize you knew somebody said something and you knew came there we go that's a good descriptor and didn't warn anybody the gas can because as far as I knew the danger wasn't around yet because their uh whole thing at least when I scuttled along after my training was to make sure that uh the deal was still in place CUA we're all disposable um you AG doing my part kind of looks over to India again with his Parts they told you with his Parts something was fitting to happen you thought time until they were going to enact whatever it the openend up to like maybe contain you still knew they were fitting [ __ ] up blood that's not gross enough yeah if you didn't agree to go along with the deal that you no I should be it really should be more why the [ __ ] should be more it is the Conant BP doesn't make sense droplets land concrete onto the plastic canvas that you the tarp that you all have we were all on fire far because it reminds you of when you were not sure why they would far younger than you are now trying to remind your deal ice cream truck really wasn't an ice cream truck it was more a slushy snow cone talk and so you get your flavor of choice and that thick sacin sweet syrup hitting that ice would cause you to get hotter the excitement of the truck and the the vendor Ed of itself the run across someone's lawn or down the block to where it was sitting serving it snow cones and I cream treats with the bubble gum inside but if you didn't tell then that proved that you were on side it was the sweetness of the syrup got CAU in the [ __ ] right world around you knowing that that you could talk us into anything dissipate instantly the moment that you had that snow the moment you had that cup and could sip all of that cold Frosty syrup sweet goodness that would cause your fingers to be sticky for hours afterwards what else the syrup that would stain your tongue all sorts of colors based on which syrup you losing everything that matter sweetness but yeah as Annabelle makes licking one of his fingers everybody's lost something what why why important or otherwise I mean Maddie if they set that place on fire knowing that you were going there listen remember when I said Die trap except it exploded before we got there you go or she got I was changed to the [ __ ] hole tie yourself up or something sorry about that I really did not expect that to you don't worry none of us did body into the fire pit shouldn't be as easy as it is luckily with that if we hadn't where we stopped we would have all been inside and when that [ __ ] the naratu Mak things TR saying that we useless to them that's all too easy like cords of wood he tried to [ __ ] kill me you just stack and AR range Into the Fire you take too much on Blind Faith and India that's the goddamn many people don't realize about the animals around parano avoid you all I trust that each you people group each swor of rats has a different ACC I did I grouping of raccoons they carry a different dialect and each even look into your group of white tail here have a different you know what um I'm going to head out Regional dialect vernacular and the language is the same but completely different from one portion the next for instance the the horses that have grown accustom to you that let you near they speak with more of a style draw premonition premonition versus the more the ones that you've all imported from Texas and Oklahoma and farther west speak a little slower and it's things like that that you notice in the language of the night around you all it makes certain understand a little more more difficult because occasionally you'll get a l owl or a bat or night thrust that has come from Oklahoma or or come west from Mississippi or Alabama and it has a different dialect I forget and the sounds of the night right at this particular animal noises that everyone looks past are things that you notice free Port sitting where it is having a hodge podge of night languages and the animals around you is nothing you should give itone anyway you've grown annoyed by that be surprising and you've noticed it but there nothing you can do about it but why are you hearing don't she's walking away just the best you can put your finger on it don't forget that you have enemies within the Tremere as well East Coast like movie New York east coast from the late 60s and 70s her shoulder yeah I'd known that from day one they made sure I understood that what what and why is it so strange to you that they that would make her stop and look around tell you it's going to happen later and then just burn the place down the moment you get there the gasoline was coming out of [ __ ] sprinklers sorry not gasoline that would have been too of no they wanted a long solo bur now do you try to return the language of that particular animal which was a yeah she's uh it's weird because like when you go to a Japanese restaurant you speak Japanese you got to speak Japanese real good she wants decide they give you of respect but animals care she's trying they're all going to die anyways yeah she tries to answer back glor not glorious so as you all pile bits and pieces of for mate on into the fire pit and Eno you begin chewing Jo away CU he's licking all sweet goodness what is M Lita as per her pocketbook she grown accustom to watches as you all work uh Insight uh four five if so much as it is the call of a Black Crown Night Heron though her pronunciation little little oh look at you you're trying hey yo you understand what I'm your conversation begins to pick up who you who you talking to Lucky and they're going back and forth her and whatever bird is out there that she's whistling and warbling and lying interacting with micro expression there's small little tails that that imate and while the are dead there are stillway remnants and ghosts from their living days that sticks with it melan as a pickling and tingling the nose it takes years for those one those things your tongue knows what this tastes like your are into well it's going to go to waste anyway five or six points that we spilling out and dribbling all over the place are down to like three maybe three and a half p in those various Limbs and parts that's still three pints that you could not let go to waste everyone assumes that and Maddie arriving at Joi and the Cent all over the place what would be the first thing that you consider accurate numbers don't lie as long as the equation entered is correct as long as the steps are followed there's no there's no way with an above average intelligence that Maddie doesn't see the writing on the wall let's do a quick calcul oh you can definitely hear them her action you can hear them around the side of the building in the backyard declared rival was shamed by the prince of Bethany do her actions and the actions of her Cod her most Ardent rival was grievously wounded and had to be taken to the chort to one of the drains coming down the back inip later after the Ming heral was to see you tonight out shown by their ability to fight for their lives and then weeks later uh welcome through all the right channels which is easy enough to do when you are the audtin to a regent through all the right channels given a task to go and ensure the Loyalty of her Cod members who are not jir I mean I have the keys we'll bring them in if she was successful I also have ke she had managed to prove their honesty and upholding their terms there wouldn't have been the allowance for others to intercede and Trigger the death trap he honestly he really there was no way that that death trap was triggered by accident un they knew or suspected certain persons give it a try be inside the building what and fighting free to escape across the Flaming yard you are weird but death in and death out now being a careful trir exposed to how the chant um India should be out here soon with with the with the gas when you are declared an anma an outsider a rogue an outcast there are step taking make sure no matter which way you turn the outcome is still the same they trying to get to the Everglades now here's the question wanted to stop by and see his family uh on the Gulf Coast and decided to swing this way cuz there was uh something calling in the area it's been she take five days and it still can't really quite figure out like should it go to to theb go back the way it came there's all of the owls that were you know working with the Ravens in the area which s really weird they thought they had blood blood debt between them but the owls in the Ravens have been making sure that no bird FES out the area so no sense of being attacked my own all and he's going on and on that's crazy looks at have you ever thought of just getting in like on a car or something and just like riding on the back of the car she might still trust her sire but that doesn't mean the rest of them are the trunk of a car so that you're not flying and then they can't attack you as far as I can see it Annabelle allir the shareport a a four and a half me gonna get on the back of a guy anybody [ __ ] [ __ ] L low here with all of these and Ravens working together to make sure none other leave the area it's just just ridiculous hates her though the bats I don't mind they're just noisy but the owls they could be anywhere they just pop out of nothing why wouldn't he set her up I don't [ __ ] know you're the one that told me she was lying about not knowing that my house was going to explode I got she but it meeting you and she turn me you we agreed the back her truck now and we agreed the next time that she did something that showed she was on their side and not ours not notic that MD's here but she looks to the other two so did you know the owls and the Ravens are [ __ ] working together to keep other birds from leaving the state once they come into the state they're like attacking things it's crazy I don't know I mean I noticed that they've been attacking other birds SC tell tomorrow let's uh I did not notice she comes back if she answers the call I'll I'll take that as a the thing would be is if they were attacking thing if she's with them she'll [ __ ] off they're attacking Heron and and then they're probably attacking Pelicans to do we have pelicans around here I don't [ __ ] know I mean that's what you want to do we can do what that no actually Maddie we there is like a singular Pelican up here don't it's owned by Ed up the street he takes care of a bunch of birds is there another room in this cabin or is it just a big one room cabin with like a bed in the corner feel kind of he's like a crazy bird guy that's [ __ ] up where you all are is the especially being as of this cabin and wild amenities are not the standards of what that means rich or the allerin Hun natural it is and not natural in way that you think it's not something passed down through the jeans there is that genetic memory means mean the there theing of the very fragile nature of the EOS around Center room each of them the growing their anger few steps down into the space the at someone using ecosystem windows that the entirety of the wall should be what that might mean that's 9 foot long Ravens are smart enough to actually talk their prey as a group are light boards to use tools to harass bra recessed lighting you can set it for a sun sunrise setting you can change it to awise anyway they'll work with Wolves they'll work to help the wolf succeed in their hun they won't work with other birds birds as far as they're concerned seven of those rooms through the having Ravens give out afternoon strip locations guiding other birds into traps laid by alow who can seemingly appear out of nowhere soundlessly he said you wanted to talk let's go that's the exact sort of thing that is the definition of cheating yeah definition of playing outside of the boundaries of he just Falls along so that small draging by scent of fire the first room she sees it seems unoccupied the flesh reaching your nose just kind of shuffles having you look left and right andly taking in your surroundings lost what I was thinking uh is inciting it's effectively Us St your mental emotional Spirit stand with your hand someone set considering group of spiritual Legos out for you and made you walk across them with freshly exfoliated small fragmented puzzle pieces are line you understand easily overhearing the conversation the in the center of the room from an angle throwing a rock in you very also be perfectly understand you are at Jo's house as long as there's going to be a bureaucracy within toror a new Tor you're the first on every suicide mission the new Tor if you survive tonight you are sure the level of difficulty thrown in your general direction will escalate exponentially very nearly truth is an amazing thing so much in the morning and yet here you are with the truth sitting there before you can I uncuff myself now um I don't know are you feeling like you're gonna turn into goop no because Clint is goopy or was goopy because he ate some [ __ ] goop what tast I sampled uh she is going to do as she said and go home because uh she's she's a little bit sour now himself from the that was experiment extricate herself from the situation before or more [ __ ] gets said so her truck's old enough that it doesn't have an auto start doesn't have the keyless five entry a separate key for the door separate key for the ignition he's not Clint anymore H truth be told outside of her constant attention most people wouldn't have been able to keep it running nor running well as long as it has been is a sign coming out though he a c he approaches it is there anything that she's doing he uh like always she you know with want to go through and take a peek around and make sure that nothing's going to break down immediately upon a walking driving away indubitably he's already dead yeah he kind of got further he got further flattered by a angry no R your which so even if he was torper Drive what do you mean not that kind of permission as high as you can woohoo uh aost talking about destruction I'm saying he's already dead no cuz his diagnosis there's nothing that's going to stand out like it literally nothing that way torped when we got him and then he was kind of further FST like he was like no offense of buts about it there is something there um give you all du heads up the moment she starts her vehicle again is going to explode oh [ __ ] I literally just messaged India that I was worried about a carball [ __ ] I'm going to give my five [ __ ] seconds can all right here's the thing thing you want to go uh he literally is the fall person you should test it is the hint now like the hint that she was given in regards to the plan of the armless corpse severe emotionally damaged adversary is she is the fall person her cery [ __ ] them because it's a good way to get back at her when it didn't happen or if it might happened she still needs to get her come up and he literally lost an eye because of her C hates he literally had to suffer through the embarrassment of that because of our Cod action so he's okay with them being harmed especially because it's going to make it bad for her are not supposed to using the correct channels the correct codes using the power of regent wolver [ __ ] magical [ __ ] look uh Maddie decision were made even as reg didn't directly make the decisions and there's no way to prove that F that thing as it's come through the Chantry from the IM all the way down back to Maddie it is as far as she's aware the official standing of the Chantry the onpl one that she figured out at the door is very 100% accurate it is not not a hypothesis is not just a suspicion what she figured out at the door of the cab is 100% grab barel yeah yeah wait whoa you don't have to fight for it and as always you move towards the fire to be India you haven't set down the gas can she unlocks the door which is filled with premium high grade UNL petroleum and petroleum based Products words and gives herself over to the Oblivion at the end of all things you both cross the distance from where you were standing closer to the building putting you all further closer to fire pit slightly closer to the fire pit just a half step behind you all is Annabel closest to the building is Jo and L high for aate distance from the actual building so as you all get closer to the fire see if there's still Gathering the chunks and pieces that be smashed in and well splattered portions of your former code remake that leap of logic someone's eye home or stereo THS on there is a click click click click click click click click click as the security lights on the hom nearby come up there is the beginning chords the string so imagine if you will I know you guys all heard it um we had joy we had fun nice sprinklers almost off the sent of kerosene is not coming from the gas can in India's hands Annabelle Stars into goes Where The Heart Of Truth on the the home as Jo that was his Haven an Indian place of business the space of the room to and a lights beautifully Almost White hot pink orange and blue FL sticks the key into her door oh [ __ ] the old familiar are unfortunately close enough to be bedazzled and almost blind especially those with heightened senses as the building goes where supposed to be tires as promised she paed as mentioned the door looking over the roof of the truck as the Flames immediately engulf the building you realize that the kerosene being sprayed from the fire Marsh bravely brazenly sprinkler system with Asher him of which cause the fire to grow as if it is a demon aring from the skeleton and SP clearly outside of his jurisdiction but because of his connection with thank you all for to do so smilingly stly reading their their rights because well yeah it's true according to ordinances in Louisiana on that side of Beth on this side of Bethany we strongly believe that everything's bigger and as he says so he adjusts his robe so that the silk pants properly drape over his bigger and better and the ordinances that you are citing are so very small there's no way that they can contain anyone from Texas and as decisions are made as lines are drawn as truth is sought there are still decisions to be made in actions to happen and with that song playing in the background Seasons in the Sun we had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the Sun I'd like to thank you all for a lovely episode and we'll see you guys next time good night everybody good night good night never before has your status of it's a trap been more accurate Maddie yeah
