Hail the drunk fork boys, in the night they roam, solving woes with fire and chrome.
With a clash and a crash and a twist of fate, explosions mark the hours never late.
Horrors and callbacks, end of the season, baby, just kidding, maybe, who knows.
The crew decided to try the old war just dinner for grandpa's funeral routine to sneak packs the human eating demons that live on teacher's island.
And it worked. The gang was able to make it to the entrance of the castle, only to be stopped by a pair of greedy, hungry guards.
With squishes shooting and a pair of well-timed judo chops to the neck, they fought their way into the castle interior.
However, they were faced with dizzying and maze-like architecture.
A post sign guided them towards the kitchen, the bedroom, and the ship.
They decided on kitchen. They were met with the demon crew of the Kahuna Wave, which was a bit odd.
Patches detected a flute at the center of the mirage, and once he blew that sucker, all hell broke loose.
The gang fought the demons with, again, more shooting, some shenanigans, and a Tarzan swing from the rafters.
Chuckles tried his luck in the bedroom.
The gang entered Lady High Hill's pink bedroom.
Now the monstrous form of Uncle Shylock and Chuckles' bird-headed girlfriend are frozen in a moment in time, and the gang has taken a break to discuss their next steps.
There is yet another room to explore in the final confrontation with the captain up ahead.
Good luck, everybody!
I feel like I have a good idea what's going to happen.
I wanted to make it very clear the next steps.
Very clear.
Do not get distracted.
Now the Tarzan swing, was that me?
That was you.
All right.
I didn't get to that part in the re-listen.
Yeah, so you guys broke into what you thought were the kitchens, and you realized you were in the kitchen of the Kahuna Wave, which was filled with a demon crew, which, again, is odd because it's only ever been you guys and some ghosts.
And they were very happy to see me.
They were so happy to see you.
And then Patches attuned himself well to the environment, saw that there was a flute, the same flute that you guys got earlier as part of a CD mix.
And he blew it poorly, and the demons attacked you.
The brown note.
Oh, that's right.
He played Hot Cross Buns.
Okay.
And then we went to the pink room, and my girlfriend's got a bird head, which I feel is a callback to, and also a horror, to when I learned a very valuable lesson.
About birds.
Yes.
About not murdering.
About not murdering from Uncle Skylock.
Never murder anyone.
Never murder anyone ever.
Which was a lesson I needed to learn.
Yes.
Oh, it's in color.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's hideous.
Isn't AI just imaginative?
I guess I'm imaginative.
Isn't it good at photoshopping shit together?
Yeah?
Yes.
So you guys have frozen.
So there's Uncle Shylock, who, in real life, is not a pleasant-looking person.
He is a somewhat desiccated corpse, irregularly.
But he's just very ugly-looking.
Well, whatever is up with Uncle Shylock.
Yeah.
That's my conjugal uncle you're speaking of.
Yes, your conjugal uncle.
But in this particular setting, he has grown much bigger.
He's more of like kind of just Uncle Shylock-shaped at this point.
Because his, like, jaw's distended.
He's, you know.
And your girlfriend is Lady High Hill's body with the head of a bird.
And she is frozen mid-sing.
So Patches had played his flute again to freeze, to stop things for a moment.
Just to remind everybody where they're at.
Chuckles, you were on the floor.
You had reached out for your gal pal.
Patches and Squish.
Patches is on the bed with his head up on the pillow like this.
Squish, I think you're going through the drawers.
You're rifling through.
Oh, that's right.
I do remember that.
He was going through the panty drawers, I remember.
Yeah, yeah.
He's being real creepy about it.
Panties galore.
Anyway, that's where you are.
All right.
Still doing it.
Steve.
I don't remember.
Was I sad?
I don't remember.
You were happy to see her.
We're not in charge of keeping track of that, Tiger.
Please keep track of my emotions and let me know how I should be feeling.
I don't believe you were, like, sad.
I think you were reaching out to her to, like, now you're just more in shock.
Because she turned and, again, had bird head.
And that kind of surprised you and you fell to the ground.
She has a terrible case of bird head.
She has a rough case.
Some people get.
Never mind.
Anyway.
Patches, what are you doing loafing on the couch or on the bed?
I'm loafing on the bed, digging through the cushions, seeing if I found anything.
Can I survey and see if I find anything?
Yeah, go ahead.
See if we find anything in these cushions.
What would you like to find?
I don't know.
I want to know what I found.
Okay, great.
So you find, like, a couple of odd things.
First off, you find some bird seed.
Like, you just kind of, like, pull your hand out.
And there's just some, like, really just, like, yeah.
Like, she, like, stuffed it underneath her pillow as, like, a treat for later.
It's like onions in a hat.
You also find a folded up note on a piece of paper.
All right.
Can I look at it?
I'm going to look at it.
Yeah, of course.
All right.
I'm, like, trying to look at it and read it through.
I'll spy it.
What's it say?
It's chicken scratch.
Oh, that's so funny.
That's rude.
No, that's not rude.
It's genuine.
It sounded rude, but it was genuine.
It's like, oh, that's so funny.
I always love that when people tell me something like that.
That's funny.
Without laughing.
That's so funny.
Yeah.
That's funny.
It's not chicken scratch.
What it is is, like, a really crude drawing.
Like, a series of drawings.
It's a pictogram.
And it shows, like, a really crude drawing of, like, Lady Highhill.
Also in her bird form, but, like, a little figure of her.
I'm trying to think of a stick figure.
And then another stick figure with, like, a hat.
And, like, there's, like, one scene of them.
And then there's one where she's, like, jumping and, like, a little heart.
And these pictures continue on throughout the page.
And they start to get a little bit more graphic.
Like, there's one where she's smooching him.
And then there's one where he, like, touches her butt a little bit.
This is all stick figures, by the way.
Who drew this?
Was it her?
Or was it?
It looks like something Juckles would have drawn.
Wow.
Rude.
I think.
Or that one was deliberate.
Juckles.
Sir.
I think this is a drawing.
Did you make this?
I just found it in the cushions with some bird seed.
I mean, I don't think I made it.
I don't think I've been here before.
Also, I didn't know she was a bird.
She was definitely more attractive when we were dating.
All right.
Well, I'll just show you the girl.
We care about her looks.
Yes.
I've made that very clear.
It's all I've talked about her.
I didn't talk about her personality.
If we're being honest.
I think that.
Pat, Squish.
Sorry.
Chuckles.
You have not drawn this.
What you realize this is, is you take it from her and you suddenly can read the pictographs because this is how you know how to read.
This is how I communicate.
Yeah.
And you realize this is a letter that she intended to send you.
Wow.
So we can't read it, but you can.
And she said she was going to write.
And you guys all laughed.
You laughed.
Oh, how is he going to read it?
How is he going to read it?
But true love finds a way.
Yeah.
And she realized you were illiterate pretty early on.
I think you may have even mentioned it to her.
And she.
So she has since.
Bragged about it, really.
Wouldn't stop talking about it.
Oh, wow.
So she has.
I feel really attacked.
She has made you a letter describing her feelings, her heartfelt feelings.
Yes.
In pictograms for you.
I knew it.
So what are her feelings?
Are they love?
And are they for me?
Oh, they're definitely love.
And they're definitely for you.
All right.
So what it says here is that she loves me.
And that she's a person.
What it says is that she wants you to grab her butt.
Whoa.
But she's.
Uh.
Well.
Yeah.
Even I can read that picture.
Yarr.
Well.
Ooh.
All right, guys.
I know we don't do a lot of girl talk.
But it's time that you know we didn't make it to first base.
Which is.
No.
Air tussling.
Let alone second base, which is, you know, tushy padding.
Butt tussling.
Yes.
We didn't get to butt tussling.
You know, on the butt diamond.
Or the tussling diamond.
We're somewhere between home and first.
And first is head tussling.
Hair tussling.
And second base is butt tussling.
And we didn't get there yet.
So.
Um.
And she's frozen.
So I don't feel like I should touch her butt.
What are you going on about?
I think he's.
He's very awkward for me.
You guys are here.
In the bedroom.
With me.
And my future wife.
Well.
Yes.
And probably Tawny's here too.
Listen lad.
I don't think.
That's your girlfriend.
Bring this up.
Wait.
Sorry.
Just one quick.
One quick moment.
This is a good moment to bring this up.
Quick GM flashback.
You've noticed.
So Tawny and.
And um.
And DeeDee were with you.
Uh.
When you left the kitchen.
She's not.
They are.
Neither one of them are in the room now.
Well.
They probably read the room.
And realized it would be.
Inappropriate.
For you to come in here.
With me.
And my fiance.
In her room.
They probably read the room.
And realized.
This is not appropriate.
This is a private.
This is a private moment.
With me.
My fiance.
And my conjugal uncle.
And your conjugal uncle.
And he walked in there.
Took a look at the pink room.
Was like.
Nope.
We're out.
And they fucked off somewhere.
Somewhere more appropriate.
Yes.
You know.
So.
Okay.
So I should.
Now what?
Have you found anything.
Squish.
That you're looking for.
Are you looking for something particular.
You just.
You just looking around.
I'm kind of.
I'm looking for.
Like a journal.
Okay.
Uh.
Go ahead.
Go ahead and roll.
And see if you find it.
Uh.
That'll be a survey.
Yeah.
Uh.
You do find.
A journal.
It's like this little velvet book.
Um.
But it's like.
Got a little clasp on it.
Which you.
Immediately just break.
Like.
It's not even worth.
Like pickpocketing.
You just kind of.
Bang it open.
And this little pink velvet journal.
Opens up.
And it's just filled with chicken scratch.
I'm stealing that joke.
Is it all drawings?
No.
This is like.
Just like.
Really bad.
Like.
Scribbly.
Right.
Handwriting.
It's like.
If a chicken did peck at the page.
Yeah.
Like.
It's just complete nonsense.
It's not even like.
Let me see it.
You can't read.
Let me see.
Come on.
Let me look.
I hand it over.
Okay.
I look at it.
And.
How do you roll to read?
I'm going to say.
That would be a study roll.
Oh.
That is pretty good.
Oh.
I can.
I actually have a chance of reading.
I was just doing a jape.
Doing a jape.
Yeah.
So you can kind of make it out.
But it's really just like.
Talking about her day-to-day life.
In the castle.
Things that she did that day.
Where she went.
There are like little mentions of you.
A little bit like.
Oh.
Chuckles hasn't responded to my last letter.
I hope he.
He receives it.
I worry about him.
So that little guy.
My precious little guy.
But it's.
It's mostly just kind of like.
Day-to-day nonsense.
It's more of like.
You know.
Just keeping track of the days.
Less of.
Really emotional thoughts.
Wow.
Really.
Really boring.
Are there any instruments in here?
No.
Okay.
So there's the.
The flute that.
Patches has.
There's no.
Is that what froze time?
Yes.
He used that to freeze time.
I'm currently using it to pick my ears.
Did you attune?
Yes.
To the.
No.
I just.
No.
I.
I blew a tune.
Yes.
Great.
But I asked you a real question.
That I needed a real answer to.
Did you attune?
No.
Not recently.
I attuned in the last room.
Well.
I mean.
You know.
I can't see ghosts.
I'm afraid of ghosts.
Bridget.
Can I attune?
Are you asking me.
If you can attune.
The one thing that you're.
You're ghost.
Pirate.
Absolutely.
Can do.
Well.
I'm just making sure you know.
I tinker.
You attune.
And.
Squish.
Just yell.
Shoots.
Yeah.
Yes.
You can attune.
I'm going to get cross-legged.
And do a big old.
Ow.
Womp.
And.
Partial success.
So.
You.
Sense that this is much like.
The attunement.
That you did in the kitchen.
Yeah.
You can sense the same.
Energy.
Where it's like.
Not necessarily a smart.
Intelligent.
Individual thing.
But it is just kind of like.
The security system of the castle.
It has one job.
And that is.
To be secure.
Hmm.
Um.
But other than that.
You can't really discern anything.
Before you could see things in the room.
That were actually there.
Um.
You can't quite get to that level.
This still looks like the room.
But you are aware of the fact.
That it is a similar mirage.
To what you saw downstairs.
Well.
Lads.
This room's a fake.
I say.
As I put.
Bird seed in my pocket.
Can't.
Can't be fake.
It's a fake.
Are you.
You're calling my fiance fake?
No.
I'm calling your fiance's room a fake.
Also.
Your fiance's a bird.
I don't think this is.
I just.
Chicken head.
This place is as fake as it could be.
I.
It's.
It was as fake as the last room.
Um.
Listen.
Juckles.
I have no doubt.
Your lady love.
Definitely lady loves you.
Yes.
But she is not.
She.
That is not the bird.
And.
We get out of this.
We stop red captain.
And then we can go home to her.
Yes.
Okay.
The demon mama.
Can I.
Can I check.
Skluck's pockets.
All right.
Oh.
Is that.
That's a survey.
I imagine.
I was in.
So yeah.
All right.
There's not really any skill involved.
Pickpocketing a non-consenting man.
So I.
I don't have to roll.
Ah.
I'll just have you roll one D sex.
Uh.
Just a straight.
Okay.
D sex.
Just.
And we'll do.
If you get higher than three.
Then you can find something fun.
You find nothing.
Cool.
And in the process.
You do pants him.
Oh no.
No.
I did not like this.
No.
Oh.
Wow.
Way to go idiot.
All right.
Maybe you should unfreeze time.
And then what are we going to do?
I don't know.
What were we doing before?
Were they attacking us?
I say we run out of.
Kiss me.
I say we run out of the room and go to the next room and then see if that leads us to another place.
You.
Earlier.
Then it is locked.
Oh.
Okay.
I still think you should grab her butt.
Juckles.
I feel like that is a little rapey.
Well.
I'm freeze time first.
Yes.
To answer your question what they were doing before you froze time.
Skylock was just kind of just shouting at you.
He just kind of came out of nowhere and was shouting.
And the bird is just being a bird and like Skylock.
Shuck.
Shylock is screaming.
She's just now scream.
Okay.
So yeah.
It was a lot of loud noises.
I'm not sure.
It was just a lot of loud noises.
And then a hot cross buns cutting through the din.
All right.
Squish.
Because you're bullying me and because I really want to do it anyway.
I'll.
I'll pat her tushy.
And I move really close and really awkwardly.
Just give her a light tap on the bottom.
Do you know.
Do you know how to do it?
How to tap a bottom?
Yeah.
No.
Clearly not.
Do you see.
Do you see how awkward this is for me?
Yes.
That's why I asked.
Yeah.
I hit it with the wrong side of my hand.
The back side.
Because I feel like that's going to be less.
You know.
Of a.
Rapey.
Yes.
Less crime.
If I hit her with the back of my hand.
That hit her.
Touch your bottom.
Yeah.
No.
I.
I get the butt touching.
Roll your finesse.
I get the butt touching.
Thanks for describing it in detail.
Okay.
Good to know.
Okay.
Good to know.
Okay.
You touch her butt.
Nothing immediately changes.
But.
Patches.
So you are the one who has the flu.
You're the one who froze time.
So it's up to you.
Just when you want to unfreeze time.
So is the door going to be unlocked.
When I unfreeze time.
Is it just locked.
Because we're in.
We're in frozen time.
No.
It's just locked.
That was something you guys had tried.
Once you got into the room in the first place.
So.
How we get out of here guys.
What do you want to do to get.
I mean.
If it's locked.
Do we tinker the door to get out.
Is it tinkering.
We tried tinkering the last door.
And it was magic or some shit.
How do we get out of the last door.
I blew.
I blew the whistle then too.
It just doesn't work.
Attack does.
We killed them all.
So we have to kill these two.
Yeah.
We're not.
We're not killing them.
I pull out my rifle.
And aim right at Skyluck.
My God.
You're eager.
I will not forgive you.
If you shoot my uncle.
I don't think that's your real uncle.
It's not your real uncle.
I still don't.
I don't want to watch you shoot him.
Then.
He might be dead.
I don't know.
He was very old.
Let's just pull his pants down.
And that's it.
Like some weirdo.
He didn't pull his pants down.
His pants fell down.
Because there were nothing in them.
That's his fault.
Not mine.
How do pants fall down.
If nothing's in them.
No.
You stuck your hand in there.
And then they fell down.
All right.
Fine.
Shoot my uncle then.
Shoot everyone that I love.
Okay.
It's not.
Thank you for the permission.
He's not actually shooting your uncle.
I keep telling you this is a fucking mirage.
I turn.
I'm turning.
I'm turning around and crossing my hand.
My arms.
Patches.
You unfreeze in time.
I.
Are you going to shoot the uncle?
Is that what's going on?
Oh, no.
I'm waiting until you unfreeze it.
I know.
But when I unfreeze.
Is that right here?
Wait until he unfreezes it.
So he can feel you.
Him getting shot.
Feeling himself getting shot.
Oh, I'm not 100% sure what he's going to do when he realizes you pulled his pants down.
Yeah.
I didn't pull his pants down.
His pants fell down.
Semantics.
Okay.
What if I judo chop him in the head?
Would that make you feel better?
No, that would make me feel worse.
Why?
He's not going to die from a judo chop.
He might just get knocked out.
He is fragile.
He's decrepit.
No, decrepit is.
He's not the real.
He's not the real jungle.
I.
Go ahead.
Kill him then.
But I am not happy about it.
And that's why I'm not facing you or him.
All right.
Wait.
So nothing happened when he touched the butt?
Not yet.
All right.
I'm going to blow the whistle, guys.
Squish.
Do what you got to do.
Oh, yeah.
Itchy trigger finger, baby.
Close your eyes, bud.
And I blow the whistle.
You blow the whistle.
Chuckles, you are arms crossed facing away from the two of them, right?
Yes.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Squish.
I'm just waiting to see what happens.
Here's what's happening.
Oh, so Shylock looks down and realizes his pants are down and stops screaming and just like bends over and he's like, oh, it's dreadfully embarrassing.
And he like pulls his pants back up.
But his pants are like the rest of him, kind of like semi-fluid.
So they just kind of like shimmy back on.
The bird mama, your girlfriend, like kind of like and like looks at you and smacks you with one of her feathers.
It doesn't hurt.
But you are going to get one stress fistful of feathers.
All right.
Yeah.
We're just going to give you one stress because you're taken aback by that with a mouthful of feathers.
So now Patches, Squish, your next moves.
Go ahead, Squashes.
Well, he stopped screaming.
So that's good.
So I'm not going to shoot in yet.
I don't know how to get out of here.
There's got to be some kind of.
Are you still holding that?
Are you still holding the note?
Who has the note in there?
Who's holding it?
Tiger.
Juckles.
Yeah, I guess I am.
I put it.
I must have put it in my pocket after I read it and was pleasantly surprised.
She Lady Highhill or the bird Lady Highhill sees you with her.
No, she stopped screaming and she kind of like brings her feathers up to her face.
And you didn't realize this, but birds can blush.
So her like yellow feathers pinking a little at the cheeks.
And you realize she's really she's kind of like like almost like she brought her mouth, hands to her mouth like, oh, my God, I can't believe you just saw.
Oh, you're talking about this.
You're embarrassed about this letter?
No, she's into you, dude.
What?
No, I can't possibly be it.
You've been pining over this woman for so long.
And all of a sudden she's showing interest.
Yeah.
No, that's the thing.
She's in.
You're right.
I am psychologically damaged.
She's into you.
So what do I do now?
Bird fart back.
How do I?
So I put my hands in my armpits and I do a I do a I think.
Yes, absolutely.
Okay.
I do a little.
I do a little what I think is a bird mating dance.
But, but, you know, we'll shy.
That's going to be your consort role because you're going to try and kind of like flirt with her a little bit.
Do you guys?
He does not have very good flirtation skills.
Do either of you want to give him this giving him assistance on that a little boost?
Take one stress.
Give him an extra help.
The captain was was or what are you going to say, Andy?
I have nothing to add to this.
I mean, can I add music with my flute?
Yeah, if you want to take one stress and play like a little ditty while he does his little bird dance, you can go ahead and do that.
Like a hype man?
One stress.
Yeah.
And then troubles.
You're going to take you're going to give an extra plus one to your consort role.
All right.
Can I stress myself?
I really want this to happen in character.
Yeah.
Not out of character.
Did you want to happen out of character, too?
Yeah.
So you'll take an extra stress.
Did you already?
We'll take a stress.
I just added.
Okay, okay.
Sorry.
Oh, for yours you did?
I just.
Yeah, you don't need.
You don't need a stress.
Well, he's going to help you out with his song, so he's going to take a little bit of stress to play for you.
Oh, he is?
Okay.
Sorry.
Yep.
So you're going to do your concert role plus two.
All right.
Extra die.
Cool.
Yeah.
Tell me about this little bird dance you do.
What music are you playing, Patches?
Sorry.
It's like the Oompa Loompa song.
So because it's like this, it's a little stuttery, the dance I'm doing, but I'm just kind of doing just, you know.
Are you kicking your legs?
Yes, but I'm not sure what to do with my legs.
So they are, they're like little kicks, but I'm trying to read her face as I'm doing it.
I just see that she's blushing.
I just keep going ahead because I'm not really sure how to flirt with a bird.
I mean, up to this point, all I've been doing is killing birds.
Yeah.
So she like, kind of give it like makes no noise.
It's not necessarily like a chirp or anything.
It's just kind of like a weird, like, you know, like cooing, almost like a pigeon, you know?
And she starts kind of bobbing her head to your dance.
Okay.
I'm mimicking what she's doing.
So now we're just in the middle of the room, bobbing our heads.
Dancing.
Squish, Patches, any additional help here you want to?
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly what I was thinking because I've seen that video.
What do you make of all this, Squish?
I was too busy looking for that, guys.
No, he's kind of, he wants to shoot her probably.
Wait, what is she, how is she reacting to it?
We're just bobbing our heads in unison.
She's slightly bobbing.
She's kind of like joining in on his dance that he's doing as well.
Oh, okay.
Well, then I go, hmm.
I would like to knock out Shylock.
Just knock him out?
Yeah.
Like he's all distracted by the dance.
He's distracted by the dance.
Who's proud of his nephew?
Who's he?
Is that Shklock or me?
We're all distracted.
Shklock is all proud watching his nephew dance.
I'm just going to take the butt.
I'm just going to walk over and hit him over the head.
With a sap.
Yeah.
Do your prowl roll to like sneak up on him and see how well you can sneak up on Shylock.
He is distracted.
He's not paying attention to you.
Marshall?
Okay.
Yeah.
You're able to sneak up to Shylock.
But as soon as you like raise the butt of your rifle in the air, he kind of turns around at a last second and lets out a boom.
Okay.
Patches, you see all you see this attempted knockout happening.
Are you going to continue to play your music?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm doing flutifully and dutifully.
Okay.
I'm not distracted.
I thankfully did not see any of the, you know, Squish's assault of my uncle.
Well, I didn't hit him yet.
Oh, you didn't?
Sorry.
No.
No, he saw that I was about to.
Okay.
Yeah.
So he turned at the last second.
Patches, if you want to keep playing music, roll your finesse for playing this flute.
I'm going to finesse this flute.
Pretty good, right?
Dutifully and flutifully.
I do it.
I finesse the flute.
I'm playing the Oompa Loompa song with little, like, little vibratos.
Yeah.
So he adds, like, a little bit of a flourish to it.
And, uh, Chuckles and Lady Highhill are really, like, getting, like, really into it now.
You're going to finish with your knockout?
No.
As soon as I see that he sees, that he saw it coming, I'm just going to pull the pistol and put it, like, under his chin.
But not pull the trigger.
He's incredibly intimidated.
And you catch his eye as you're doing this.
And you're not a mind reader.
But he, like, he kind of, like, looks towards, uh, towards Chuckles.
And what you see is, for the first time, Chuckles actually being in his element.
As weird as it is, he is actually connecting very well with this bird lady.
And, uh, and Skylark just kind of, like, keeps darting his eyes over, like, do you see this?
Do you see this?
He's trying to, he's trying to communicate with you in some way.
Something.
Who's communicating with who?
Shylock is staring at Squish.
Squish has a gun underneath his, at Skylark's chin.
And he's, like, trying to get Skylark to, like, look over, like, this is what I'm interested in.
Like, do you see this?
This is, this is important.
This is a Proud to Papa.
Uh, Chuckles, you, you've done quite a bit of a, a dance now.
Um, are you gonna...
I don't really know what else to do.
So I just keep dancing.
It's probably too long.
I'm missing several moments, uh, where I can, you know, stop and, you know, progress.
Uh, but I just, I just, uh, I'm, I'm sort of stalling by continuing to dance.
Um, at one point, the, uh, she stops, she slows her dancing and she kind of, like, preens a little bit.
She kind of fluffs up her, her feathers a little bit.
Uh, and since you're still dancing, she takes her little, like, wings out and she kind of just, like, puts them on either side of your shoulder.
Like, okay, you can, you can stop now.
Oh, boy.
Now, now I'm sweating.
Now I'm blushing.
Hope you like Big Bird.
Uh, and she's way bigger than me, right?
Yeah, she's much taller than you, especially now that she's a bird.
Okay.
I'm gonna jump into her arms.
Uh, all right.
Uh, let's, uh, let's see.
Jump.
I'm gonna say it's a finesse.
All right.
Yo, yo.
You go to, like, jump in her arms, but you forget that, like, bird bones are relatively hollow and not very strong.
Right.
So she just kind of drops you.
Um, let's see where you're at right now.
I'm gonna have you take level one harmed, uh, embarrassed and bruised.
Embarrassed and bruised butt.
Bruised butt.
Bruised.
Sorry.
Uh, Chuckles.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Uh, Patches, you've seen this horrible snafu.
Uh, clearly this woman was just trying to get him to stop dancing and look lovingly under her eyes, and he tried to jump into her arms and has now made a slight fool of himself.
Uh, are you gonna continue playing?
Any encouragement you wanna, you wanna give this guy?
Any advice?
As soon as he fell, I feel like my, my flute just kind of screeched to a hall, like, and I just look kind of like, you alright there, lad?
Uh, I don't know.
I don't think she liked it.
I think she liked it fine.
And Squish, how are you doing over there?
Trying to make a decision right now.
Alright.
Uh, Skylark looks, Skylark looks over at you, Chuckles, and in a very strained kind of voice, he's like, tell her how you feel.
Oh, with my words?
Or dance.
Yes, with your, with your words, son.
And could you call your big meaty friend off of me?
She doesn't listen to me.
He's, uh, but.
Yeah, could you please not hurt my uncle again?
Also, so, uh, well, I feel really mad at you, Squish, uh, for threatening my uncle.
And, I, cause clearly I'm taking this pretty seriously, even though, cause it'd be weird to watch you shoot somebody that I love, even if they aren't real.
Yeah.
And we did, we did murder all of those demons in the last room, which is not something I like doing in general.
So, you know, I'm a little tender.
And also tender, uh, because it just fell on my bottom.
And, uh, well, and, uh, yeah, so I'm angry with you, Squish.
And, uh, yes, Lady Bird.
I am in love with you.
That was very hurtful.
Very nice.
Yeah.
That's the DM.
That's not Lady Bird.
She's been very lonely for a long time.
That was beautiful.
Hug her.
I probably shouldn't have said the last part out loud, but it is how I feel.
If you love her, then go to her.
I'm here.
I tried to go on to you, which was not good.
Uh, she, uh, she, she, she hears your words.
Um, I'm going to have you roll, uh, a sway or, uh, yeah, a sway.
Um, I'm going to give you a plus one though.
Cause that seemed very open and, uh, tenderhearted.
Do I love her?
I don't actually know.
You love the real one, but this one's kind of like the real one.
It's, it's not whether or not you love her forever.
It's that you have feelings for her now.
Right.
Also, this is not your girlfriend.
She is a bird.
She is, she is actually a bird.
Um, she kind of like, doesn't understand what you're saying and like cocks her head a little bit.
Like maybe she doesn't actually understand English and maybe she only understands bird.
Right.
I don't speak bird.
Play the, play the, play, uh, play the flute.
That sounds like bird.
Play a love, a love thing.
Translate my words into, into recorder bird.
Yeah.
You.
All right.
I'll do it.
She seems to respond to the, the, the music.
I start playing, uh, um, this is the theme from beauty and the beast.
Till his soul this time.
And I somehow know the words.
Beauty and the beast.
Wait a second.
Which is which?
Am I the beauty?
You could be this time.
Beauty and the bird.
Is this the lesson I'm learning?
Is it the beauty was in me the whole time?
Or the bird.
Beauty and the beast.
Can I roll the finesse for this Bridget?
Or do I have to?
Yeah.
And, um, I'm going to have you take an extra.
Chuckles, uh, are you going to strain yourself with your sing along?
Uh, okay.
That was out of character.
This is out of, this is out of character.
Yeah.
Because I do want to do that.
Except if I do do that, do do.
Uh, I will be overstressed.
Uh-huh.
Which means I guess I would like sing and then like immediately pass out.
No, you were just getting trauma.
Yeah.
We give you a trauma.
Yeah.
Um, you get like a level of want to harm or something.
Uh, yeah.
I mean, I will do that.
What's what's so if I get four traumas and I'm dead?
Uh, no, no.
So if you, if you do your stress, uh, you'll get one of these traumas on the side, like cold, reckless, haunted, soft, unstable, obsessed, paranoid, vicious.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
Those are related.
Um, okay.
And then what do I roll randomly to take one of those?
Or you, you assign one of those based on the narrative?
You know, I think based on the narrative, I think we could all agree that maybe soft would be, uh, would be a perfect option.
Maybe you're a little bit more sensitive.
Yes.
Soft.
You get to pick.
Yeah.
You get to pick.
I'll let you pick.
You pick.
Tiger.
All right.
You back.
Yes.
But yeah, whichever.
Yeah.
I think, I think that fits you.
Yes.
Yeah.
I will be, I mean, it's already happened and I haven't even been traumatized yet.
I've turned into a big pussy.
Uh, yeah, exactly.
Um, all right.
So.
All right.
Yeah.
So I sing that song.
Yeah.
All right.
So we're going to give you one stress that gives you soft.
I'm just doing this on yours.
Uh, there we go.
Trauma.
And then that resets your stress level.
Wow.
So I am going to have you be a little bit more since you are a little traumatized, uh, just, you know, a little, I think, uh, a little bit more sensitive to potential, uh, life threatening and dangerous situations.
I think you've gone PG 13 and in our world.
Sounds right.
But that's, um, this is captain's role, right?
Cause he's playing the flute.
Yes.
So he's getting, you better roll.
Well, you got, you're going to roll your finesse and then you're going to take a plus one.
I really hope this works out well.
And then that's it.
Risky and standard effect.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I sing.
I play beautifully.
Like seriously, guys, maybe with a flute is my new hobby.
You can roll two sixes.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Also, I'm very drunk.
I've been drinking again.
She is in raptured by your song.
Squish, you still have Shylock in a, in a death, in a dirty, hairy hold.
I don't know what to call it.
You got him in a neck grip.
I'll call it a dirty, hairy hold.
A dirty, hairy hold.
You've seen this beautiful display of emotion.
What's your next step?
I pull the trigger.
God, you're brutal.
Yeah.
Go ahead and roll your hunt.
Roll.
Marshall's.
So, yeah.
So you do hit him.
Unfortunately, because he's kind of an ooey gooey monster boy, the bullets just kind of, kind of like, be absorbed by him and like ripple through him and kind of like spits it out.
He pushes you away.
He pushes you away and separates you.
So you're not in any immediate harm.
He's not physically attacking you now.
But this form is starting to get more monstrous.
And he, Uncle Shylock is like physically getting bigger, almost like a mud monster to the point where he's not really recognizable anymore as a human.
And he's looming over this scene.
He's looming over you, squish with the gun in your hand.
He's looming over the bird lady.
Chuckles patches.
He's starting to take up this huge spot in this room.
Chuckles, do you want to respond?
Yeah, I turn around and I'm assuming he's unrecognizable to me as my uncle at this point.
Yes.
Can I shoot him now?
Yes, you can shoot him now.
I mean, you didn't wait for permission before.
I mean, like, I think I heard you shoot him.
I don't think so.
Yeah, you did shoot him when he was still my uncle.
So I'm still really mad at you.
You are becoming more and more evil with every passing second.
He's part of the transformation.
It was something that sounds like a shot.
I think, hold on, let me reload my gun.
As he says that, Shylock looks over to you, looks down on you, Chuckles, and he's like, never kill, no killing.
And he's reaching one of his big, muddy hands out for you.
I am going to put my hand, like, you know, when you shortstop and you throw your arm against someone or stop short, and I'm like, don't shoot him.
I think he's trying to tell us some kind of lesson, although I'm not sure how we're going to get out of this.
I don't think killing is the way to do it.
Perhaps you should tell him how you feel.
Oh, I feel like this is really weird.
That's not a feeling.
Weird is not a feeling?
No, it's not a feeling.
These are things that you need to learn.
It's tender, scared, sad.
Those are the only three I can remember, and I feel like it says a lot about me.
Tender, scared, sad.
I feel like she's going to take advantage of him, and it scares me because I know deep down he's a really good person, just very susceptible to women.
You hear all this.
You just heard Squish say that he's worried about losing you to this woman because he's very concerned about your naivety.
How does that make you feel?
So now I have the talking pillow?
Yeah.
I think that is a surprisingly fair and astute observation.
Patches, you're up there.
I feel like that is astute.
Patches, anything to contribute while you're up there?
I just continue playing the music, trying to play my best because I feel like this is really setting the tone.
We've been just playing Beauty and the Beast for like 20 minutes now.
Okay.
So the Shylock like pauses as Squish is talking, but once you say what you need to, he continues to reach for you, chuckles, and the bird lady suddenly is beside you, chuckles, and she kind of pushes you out of the way almost.
And she's grabbed by Uncle Shylock, and he brings her like with his muddy like gooey fist up to his hands.
Now, this is triggering you because you are someone who used to kill birds with his bare hands.
So you know exactly what it is that he's about to do.
Yeah, he's going to crack that poor thing's neck.
What am I going to do about it?
Yeah, this sounds like it's a good moment for you, Tiger.
Don't do that, Uncle.
I feel very strongly that you should not ring that bird's neck.
I put on the flute and yell, grab that old man.
Grab that mud man.
No, we must do this without killing.
Don't kill him.
Just stop him from breaking that bird's neck.
I grab his pant leg and shake it really hard.
Now put that down.
So you're going to lunge and you're going to try to reach for his leg, try to, you know, scramble him off of his feet.
Patches, you've taken down your flute.
What are you doing?
I jump onto the, I jump onto the mucky Skyluck.
Okay.
So you're same thing.
You're going to grapple with him.
Yeah, I'm going to grapple with him.
What are we, like two toddlers on his legs?
No, I'm on his neck.
I'm grappling with him from behind.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
All right.
And then Squish, you are, you're holding your gun.
Are you reloading?
I was reloading.
Yeah.
But then I look at him and go, Uncle Skyluck, you have to let him go.
He's his own man now.
He can make his own decisions.
He's grown in spirit, not much in height, but he's in spirit.
He's a grown, he's grown quite a lot since you last left him at the prison that we tried to break you out of.
That's true.
I say.
That's true.
I scream as I hold him with my, I'm holding like the flute around him with a, like by his neck.
He's tossing me around.
And, you know, the, the, this, this captain, he was buttering me up and I took it as a, as a chance.
You know, I, I learned not to be naive and I didn't give him ultimate power and I walks the plank for it.
But, uh, you know, I feel like that was good.
That was good growth.
Good growth.
Patches, Chuckles, you're, you're going to roll your, uh, your skirmish.
Patches.
Skirmish.
Patches and, uh, Chuckles.
We're going to roll your skirmish.
Okay.
Patches.
All right.
That's a critical success.
Oh, no.
Six and five.
He doesn't have any.
Well, no.
Cause if you do the same action together.
Oh, I guess.
Yeah.
That wasn't, that wasn't the one that counted.
My three.
No.
I counted.
Yeah.
Cause you got zero.
Yeah.
Three and five.
Okay.
Uh, so you're able to kind of bring, uh, uh, uncle Skylock to his, uh, to his knees.
Uh, and squish, you're going to throw your sway, uh, to see how well you convince him with your argument that patches or that Chuckles has actually grown.
All right.
Uh, so he, he drops, uh, the bird, uh, he's still kind of struggling though, underneath your grasp and he's going to get one arm three free and start to reach for Chuckles.
He's going to grab Chuckles and drag him closer to him.
He's like dragging him into the core of his body.
Like you can see, he's going to try and like absorb him.
I'm still on his back, right?
Yeah.
What would you like to do?
Squish, do something.
Yeah.
I thought you froze.
No, no, no.
He's, he's thinking because he knows how mad I'm going to be if he shoots my uncle, even though he doesn't look like my uncle.
You gave me permission to shoot him.
I did give you permission to shoot him.
But that's not, so you're not, so you're not shooting him.
I realized that's not going to solve the problem.
And I didn't give you the person to shoot him and you did shoot him.
So now I just feel like you're doing the opposite of what I say, which is, I thought we were, you know, coming to an understanding.
And now I realize you're just being obstinate.
I'm just going to continue to yell at Shylock.
Like you, you have to accept that he doesn't need you anymore.
He's a better person.
Are you going to help out in any way or you're just going to keep throttling him?
I'm going to keep throttling him.
I don't know what else I should be doing.
I mean, I'm going to throw me off.
Okay, so we'll do this.
We'll do this.
Paul, what do I do?
You can try swaying him too, sir.
Oh, okay.
Guys, roll for that or do I have to say something?
Well, you have to say something.
Tell me what you would say and then you can both roll for sway and we'll take the best points.
Tell him I'm a pirate now.
Listen to him.
Sluck, you don't need to be his.
You don't need to worry about him anymore.
He's got good friends like me and Squish.
More age-appropriate friends.
And we've gotten him off the nut punching.
He hasn't told you.
He did nut punch only for good.
Only for good.
And I hardly eat any cat food anymore.
I'm on almost human food.
He still eats cat food, but we just embraced it.
Everybody, roll your sway.
All right.
Good start.
You have so much sway.
Yes.
I'm not just bane, bane, shoot him up.
I can try to convince people not to let me bane, bane, shoot him up.
Wish, uh, chuckles disappears into, into the, uh, the muddy body.
Just absorbed within.
I dive into the body.
Well, we weren't expecting that.
Uh, yeah.
Throw your, uh.
And just like last time, she doesn't know what to do.
Yeah.
I wasn't expecting muddy body, but also you guys are usually pretty decent at sway.
So I was really surprised he's not being won over.
Uh, yeah.
So, uh, you're going to roll your, uh, let's see.
I'm going to say finesse.
Right.
That's better than I thought I was going to do.
You get your hand in this muddy body and you can feel like you can grasp on to chuckles his shoulder.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Into yeah.
Trubbles is like, Oh, you can feel it.
Uh, and you start pulling out of it.
Uh, patches, uh, you're like struggling to stay on top of this guy.
Uh, is there anything you want to do differently?
Uh, can I climb up a little bit harder and start like kicking him in the head?
Yeah.
All right.
That's what I do.
I kind of like, I kind of like, I feel like he's like all muddy.
You know?
So I like, like I start kicking my feet into his back and like slowly climbing up on top of him.
I imagine he looks like kind of like clay face at this point.
Doesn't he?
Yeah.
Very clay face.
Uh, you're going to wreck it.
I'm going to wreck it with my feet.
Like I'm standing on top of them.
I've still got my, I got my foot flute in the hand and I'm just like kicking downwards.
You're just stomping him.
I'm just, yeah.
I'm mud stomping his head.
Just like a kid in puddles.
Just like jamming your feet into the mud.
Yeah.
With my foot.
All right.
Roll your, roll your wreck.
Hey, partial success.
Did I get him in the eye?
Uh, he, he kind of like flattens and gets like little, like you almost like squish him up until he's smaller.
Um, and like the floor, the rest of the room is just covered in mud at this point.
As you guys are like splashing and hitting and like, like chunks of mud are like flying all over this perfectly pink bedroom.
Uh, this very pristine, beautiful bedroom is now all dirt covered and just starting to look like shit.
Uh, catches.
Yeah.
Put the bird seed into his eyes or on top of his head.
Oh, I start like dumping.
I have like pocket loads of it.
Pocket bird seed.
I have, I have a lot of, I was going to save it for a flashback, but I, I took a lot of bird seed out of that bed cushion.
So what, what role do I roll for bird seed?
Is it, is it hunt?
Is it your intention to do the bird seed to, uh, to have lady high hill pack his eyes out?
Yeah.
That was, that was my intention.
Yes.
Okay.
I don't have a sway.
You guys are smarter than me.
I thought she was out.
She's, she's not in the mud.
Uh, no, she was able to, to not, when you initially ran into, to save or to, you know, stop her, uh, she was able to get out.
Uh, that's a real smart thing with the bird seed.
Cause I did pocket some bird seed for later.
But I was just going to try to appeal to her, like, you know, love of, of juggles.
Food is a much better motivator.
You were assuming that late, you were going to give it to her as a wedding gift.
Cause we were actually, we're going to get married at some point.
I never know when a bird seed is going to come in handy.
He's going to acquiesce.
He's going to take on the bird as part of the crew.
I mean.
We have, we have an ape.
You sprinkle it over his head and then you kind of just yell at her like five, right?
Like.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, lady bird hell.
Don't you want to save your, your little, your, your, your, your, your juggles off here.
And don't you want to get fed?
That's when she starts moving.
Yeah.
Roll, roll your sway.
I feel like there should be like a plus on this because I'm also, I'm not.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Go ahead and take plus one with the bird seed.
Plus one for bird seed.
No, come on.
What the hell?
Plus one for bird seed, man.
She screams, um, as you start chucking this bird seed, uh, because apparently she's just not like drawn to bird seed.
Like everyone else.
Yeah.
No, it's just, uh, let's say like, you know, there's a giant mud monster.
Maybe she's not really focused on the bird seed and she's seeing her beloved beast.
Uh, like she comes after you instead starts packing.
Yeah.
She, you're half in half out at this point.
Chuckle's in the mud monster.
Um, squish is pulling you out.
Um, how do you, how you're, so when you're within this mud monster, uh, you, it's just like being in a thick goop.
Like you can still see, you can still breathe, but like, you know, it's, it's gross.
It's dark.
It's wet.
And like, now your head's been shoved back out of his body.
Cause one, you know, uh, squish has you with one hand.
The other part of Sherlock is trying to shove you back in.
Uh, so what are you going to do?
Oh boy, it stinks in here.
Uh, I think maybe it's time to kill him.
What do you think we've been doing here, man?
What?
You guys have been trying to kill him.
I've been kicking him in the head.
Ever since, ever since.
I really wish you would have asked for my permission.
He, he tussled you into his body.
I was just reacting.
I was trying to save your life.
All right.
Um.
He mud tussled you.
Let's see.
Mud.
You can't tinker mud.
That's, that's been, that's established.
Well established.
Can you cook mud?
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
So.
Okay.
Does that.
So we need hot man.
Can we cook him?
No.
Hot man.
Is this.
I'm calling hot man.
I'm halfway.
I'm like, I've been is this close for becoming a productive member of society.
Do not call him in.
We're not ruining more lives tonight.
This is productive.
He'll burn the monster down.
No, he, he's going to, he's going to burn everything.
He's going to make the room.
He's addicted to fire.
Listen, you don't understand.
This room is a mirage.
He'll just turn it.
And if it, anything, that's not a mirage, he's going to turn that mud into clay.
And he are going while he's encouraging his bad behavior.
Inside of him.
Well, I don't.
All right.
What do you have?
Juggles is inside of him.
I don't know.
I mean, Juggles is going, is going to fight this idea because he's also concerned about his sobriety of hot man sobriety.
But once again, but this is like, but he does have to use out of, this is out of character, by the way.
Where's my character?
We have to talk out of character about what we're going to do with hot man.
I feel like we don't know anymore because he is a fire demon.
He does have to light some fires, but we just got to make sure he's under control.
And I feel like if we just tell him to burn one room, that's especially a room that he can't burn anything else of.
Maybe you could tell him to cook, like not cook, but not don't burn.
Just warm.
Just gently warm him.
Yeah.
Just get underneath like a, like a campfire and just warm up a little bit.
Warm up uncle, uncle Muckles buns.
I don't like the idea.
Okay.
What don't you like about the idea?
You're half inside of him.
We'll burn him out.
So I use my, you will cook too.
Well, you go pull him out, get with Lady Bird and we'll then cook the monster.
Well, we don't have a cold man.
Yeah.
We can't just pull it down.
I don't know.
I like that idea.
It's like, what can we do with mud?
We can dry it.
Fire.
No, that's our answer to everything.
We're trying to grow.
I keep one hand on Juckles.
Like we got like our kind of like the Viking handshake.
Yeah.
Going on.
Okay.
So I keep pulling him, but I pull out with my other hand.
I pull out the rifle and I pointed at his head.
My head?
No.
Don't put him out.
No.
Don't shoot me.
Not straight up.
Cause if I shoot it straight up, it's going to hit.
If it goes through, it's going to hit patches.
So I'm going to aim it to the side.
Okay.
And you're going to pull the trigger?
Of course.
Yeah.
Do it.
You pull your shot a little bit.
And like part of the, his face just like ends up on the wall behind, like still with an eye kind of blinking.
But he is like, you can see with that shot, you've managed to pull troubles pretty much free of the mud at this point.
You're just covered in mud, by the way, from like your neck down.
Yeah.
Chuckles.
So, but you're, you're, you're getting free of the mud patches.
You're still kind of grappling with him on his back still.
Is that where you were?
Yeah.
I kicked him in the head.
Right.
And that, that didn't work out super great.
Great.
Captain.
Do you still, do you know the time, the time stopping tune still?
Did we try that already?
I don't know how that's going to help.
We're just going to time stop and then we'll be in the middle of nothing.
True.
All right.
Carry on.
Okay.
Thank you for nothing.
I'm going to continue.
I jump off the monster and I jumped towards lady bird.
And what's the monster doing?
Is he like moving around?
Is he like causing a more of a thrash?
Yeah.
He's just kind of like throwing like chunks of himself onto the ceiling.
Cause you've, you have hurt him.
You have critically, I would say you have severely injured this guy, but he is not out of commission yet.
I say throw more bird seed on him.
Yes.
Mud hates bird seed.
Famously.
If the bird did anything the first time I throw the bird seed.
No, I think maybe instead, not just, no, not for the bird's sake.
Just because, you know, mud bird seed.
What if I just Mazel Tov cocktail him?
It's not hot, man, but it's not, it's, it's just, it's, it's a compromise.
All right.
So you're going to burn them anyway.
I want to do.
You never want to jump out the window.
And fly away.
Only one of us has wings and it's the, I'm going to jump out that window.
Didn't we jump out the window in the first room?
No, we, we swung from the rafters.
No, I mean like the first time we came into her bedroom.
Yeah.
You guys fell out the window multiple times.
Yeah.
Remember?
And we felt there was a bush.
Oh, that was in real life.
Yeah.
What if, what if we just do it again?
All right.
Open that window.
I'm not, I was just going to jump.
We got to open the window first to jump.
Not necessarily.
That's not how the movies would have done it.
All right.
How do I open that window?
Finesse?
Let's see.
What's your tinker?
Yeah.
Tinker that window open.
I'm tinkering it.
You open up this window and, but as you open it, a rush of these like smaller canary birds comes flushing past you, uh, like smaller versions of what lady high heels faces.
Um, let's see.
Should we paternity test them?
Uh, go ahead and take a stress for that.
Cause you're going to get a face full of feathers.
Ah, you should.
The second time.
Yeah.
God.
As you do that, they are attracted to the bird seed that you flew or that you, that you threw earlier at the mud monster.
Oh, they start attacking the bird.
Yeah.
And they, well, they started attacking the mud monster.
They start the mud man.
Uh, he started, they start pecking at the, uh, bird seed that you had littered all over him.
Uh, and within just like a swarm of feathers, uh, the form of uncle Shylock just kind of shrinks down to nothing.
And then there's just like a cheap and all these birds just kind of flutter back out the window.
And uncle Shylock is no more.
There's not like a little Shylock I can step on.
And my fiance.
What?
My fiance.
Oh, she's still there.
She, she's there.
Uh, she's still there.
Uh, in fact, like some of the, she holds out her arms as the birds flutter away.
And some of them kind of like land on her, uh, her head.
Mm-hmm.
And arms.
Uh, but she's fine.
Uh, you guys are all covered in mud.
Um, the room is covered in mud.
Um, but as you're standing there listening to these tweeting of the birds outside, you hear this click and the door is opened.
I rush out that door.
All right.
Squish is out.
I, I, I jump off the bed and like, so come on, lad, bring the bird with you.
Yeah.
That was, that was scary.
Wasn't it honey?
And I grabbed her hand or wing.
Uh, she.
Try and lead her out of the room.
Yeah.
So she reluctantly, uh, kind of stands there and, and looks really sad as you pull her wing and she, she kind of pulls you close.
Um, come on.
Let's go.
This world, the, the, the pink room, the mud.
Everywhere.
It's starting to fade slightly.
Um, and so, so is your bird girlfriend.
I'm in denial.
I'm going to keep, keep on pulling at her.
I'm trying to get her out the door.
Yeah.
She, she, she brings a little feather hand up to her, her head and she pulls up, pulls out, plucks out a feather and she sticks it in your hat.
It's this long green feather.
Oh.
And she sticks it, uh, in the brim of your hat that you're wearing.
Uh, chuckles.
And she kind of coos a little bit.
Uh, and then like gives you a quick peck right on the head.
Like, not like a beautiful, like, not like a kiss on the lips.
Just like a bird.
Just like.
But it also, it also hurts.
Yeah.
No, it hurts quite a bit.
Bleeding a little bit.
One, one strain.
Just, just the blood trickles down my face.
I'm smiling.
Do you have any last words for your bird girlfriend as she disappears?
No, I just, uh, just watch her incredulously vanish.
He vanishes.
But, but I am a little bit full, I guess.
Like, I understand.
Yeah.
And the feather stays.
Uh, the feather remains in your cap.
That is a real feather.
That is not magic.
Um, that's for you.
What about my, what about the note?
Is it, is it still in my pocket?
With the butt touching?
Uh, you, you, like, as you're leaving the room, you kind of freeze and you do one of those, like.
Yeah.
And you realize that you, you pick up your hat and there's the, the photo, the picture under your hat.
With the butt touching.
It's still, with the butt touching.
It still shows like the bird lady and everything, but yeah, it's still, it's, you still have the photo or the picture.
All right.
Well, I'm alone again, boys.
All I've got is you.
Not the first time won't be the last time.
You guys want to take a quick break?
I need to pee.
Yeah.
Hail the Drunk of my boys.
Uh, you guys are back in the hallway that you started in.
Um, I think at this point you have noticed that you don't have DD.
You don't have, uh, you don't have, uh, what's his face?
Tawny.
Thank you for reminding me.
Are we still covered in mud?
Yes.
Gross.
Um, and.
Covered in Uncle Shylock.
Yeah.
Shluckluck.
Um.
Shluckmuck.
There we go.
Shluckmuck.
Uh, you hear in the distance, nowhere nearby, but in the distance, you got, you hear what sounds like yelling.
You'll hear, you hear explosions, like faint explosions, like from a distant, a distant area.
Uh, you kind of hear, you know, swords rattling together.
Um, and just general shouting and chaos happening outside of the castle.
Uh.
Good thing we, we blocked that door.
I don't know if that.
Yes.
You like, you like the one, you definitely locked the one behind you when we left.
When we first had there.
Yeah.
The door is locked.
Um, and you're not in like any danger, but there is fighting happening somewhere within the castle.
Uh.
But not anywhere near you.
Should we just skip the next one and go find stairs to the tower?
I don't think we're supposed to skip.
I don't think we're supposed to skip, but also we didn't really get anything from any room.
Got a flute.
And a feather.
Oh, we did get a feather.
That's right.
And a fancy drawn.
Well.
A chicken scratch drawn.
I'm really proud of you, uh.
Squish.
You.
Acted respectfully.
I tried.
Well.
After I acted.
Kind of.
Unrespectively.
And you did kick off.
You did turn him into a mud monster.
Now that I think about it.
I think it would have happened anyway.
Well, that's a little meta for our discussion.
Eh.
Whatever.
You're welcome.
And I walked towards whatever the next door is.
Maybe you're not all evil.
Don't.
Don't get your hopes up.
Maybe he never was.
So this is the signpost you guys see.
Bedroom kitchen ship.
That's what you saw earlier.
So we got the.
So we just.
So yeah.
Check them off.
We got the ship.
Right.
That's the last one.
Yeah.
I think ship is the last one.
Should we also look for.
Didi and Tawny.
I'm sure they'll turn up.
Why don't you.
Can you call her.
On your mind.
Yeah.
On your monkey meld.
Can I try to get a hold of Didi via the mind meld.
Monkey mind meld.
Yeah.
You mind meld with Didi.
And you just hear go.
She is in the middle of all this fighting.
Through her eyes.
You see that she's being carried.
Kind of like over the shoulder of somebody.
And behind her are just this.
The ghost ship.
The ghost crew.
The captain's ghost crew.
Fighting a demon.
Like the armada.
The guards.
The captain is making his way.
Up.
To the castle.
Again.
This is the.
He has the same.
Destination.
As you.
And he is leading his ghost army there.
And Didi is with him.
Probably a ghost.
Oh the ghost.
All right Didi.
When you get up there.
Push the harp.
Off.
Or play it.
You know.
You play it first Didi.
I don't think she's exactly in.
Position to be making a lot of decisions.
Yeah.
She.
What is she going to play?
She is tied up and bound.
She's kind of like.
Oh she's tied up.
She's being carried over the.
She's kind of.
Yeah.
I mean.
They didn't take her willingly.
She turns.
And you can see Tawny.
Is also being carried.
Over the shoulder.
Tied up with a ball gag.
By a ghost.
Crew.
Tawny.
Does anyone have a mind meld with Tawny?
No.
None of us bother.
But we're all thinking it right.
Like just.
All right Tony.
Well we don't.
We.
We aren't exactly.
We're not privy to what squish.
Squish is seeing.
We just see him.
No.
You.
And he's yelling that you should play the harp.
And we.
I guess I'm not sure who he's talking about.
Yeah.
Maybe he's mind melding with the captain.
All right.
Are you mind melding with the captain?
No.
Only Didi.
Oh.
I can only do it with my pets.
Weird.
Also.
Let's forget about Tawny and Didi.
They are.
Probably worse off than we are.
So let's go to the ship.
To the ship.
Wait.
Did you see the ship?
Could you see through our eyes?
Yeah.
I did.
I saw the ship back there.
Which ship?
Was it nice?
Is it the ship we're going to?
Or the ship?
No.
I think the real ship.
I'm really confused about our place in time and space.
I'm a little mind freak.
I don't know if.
Well.
We walk through the door to the kitchen.
And we're on the ship.
All right.
It's all illusions.
Illusions are a thing hookers do for money.
That's a trick, Mike.
Oh.
To the ship.
Yar.
Are you going to the door labeled ship?
Or are you doing something else with the ship?
Oh, we should probably go to the door labeled ship.
The door labeled ship.
I mean, that's the best way to go to a ship.
To the door.
Of the ship.
Yeah.
You walk through the door of the ship.
This is cozy.
And you are in the captain's quarters.
Oh, Lord.
The kahuna wave.
Ah, he puts his feet up.
No, I just start, like, rifling through his shit.
Can I just try a bunch of four dummies books?
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
I'm looking to interrupt you.
Is there anything more to say about the room?
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I did, too.
Sorry.
Not initially.
So, this is the captain's quarters aboard the kahuna wave.
You guys have all been in these rooms at one point or another.
Obviously, Patches, you recognize this.
This is where you began your famous mutiny.
Uh-huh.
But you have all eaten and dined into these quarters.
Yeah.
They're, they're, yeah, both of them.
They're relative.
They're just, they're just the captain's quarters.
They look just like he had left it.
Pristine.
Nice looking.
Captain's quarters.
All right.
So, I start looking through his shit.
And start digging through everything.
I'm not going to start going through his drawers and everything.
I'm looking through anything.
You see, lads.
Okay.
This is all an illusion, like I said.
But there's some truth to it.
That bird loved you.
I could tell.
And that's because Lady Highhill loves you.
So, there's got to be something here to help us defeat that, that, that, that cad.
Captain Ad.
Drink.
Fitz Fried.
What's a cad?
It's a, it's a chocolate egg that nobody likes to eat because they're gross.
Unhelpful.
While you're rifling through the, are you looking for anything in particular or you're just looking?
I'm just looking.
I was going to run a survey if you wanted, but if you've got something planned, go ahead.
Okay.
Do you want to look, do a survey?
Yeah, I want to do a survey.
I want to see what I can find in this bookshelf.
Okay.
All right.
Roll for survey.
I failed.
I didn't find nothing on this fucking bookshelf.
What is it?
He's got a whole bunch of self-help books here.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, he's got the secret.
Let me tell you.
Not even, not even in order.
Alphabetical order.
Here's the secret.
Bad writing.
There's a secret.
Um, as you like mock his book collection, you kind of like hit one of the bookshelves and all the books just kind of come tumbling out at you.
That's really.
Fell out.
No, they just like, they all just like the shelf just fell down, you know, it just.
Oh, okay.
And so a bunch of books, uh, fell and made a clatter.
Um, there's a knock on the door.
Don't answer it.
That's not a good shit.
Go see who it is.
Did you say Juckles?
Yeah.
That's me.
All right.
Uh, I'd like to go.
So there's a knock on the door.
Uh, I'd like to look through the keyhole and see what I can see.
Okay.
Do a, do a survey.
What do your elf eyes see?
Oh.
I guess I have no survey.
It turns out.
It really made me make this one.
It turns out there is no keyhole.
It's just like a knot in the wood.
I keep looking though.
I don't see anything.
All I see is knots.
You're walking out the wrong end of the door, lad.
That doesn't make any sense.
But alas, this was unhelpful.
The knocking continues.
Just open the door.
Just open it on a crack.
Leave the chain off.
Can I find something to clean this mud off of me?
Yeah.
Disgusted.
It's topical as always.
Here, I toss you a book.
I toss you a, you know.
A book.
How to remove mud for dummies.
You just start ripping pages out.
How to remove mud for dummies.
Yeah.
Roll your survey to see what you find.
Okay.
You find like a bundle of paper towels or just rags and things neatly.
Not a bundle.
You find some rags neatly folded up in kind of like a wash bin area to the side.
This is his bedroom quarters as well.
So there's like a small washing up station.
I would just use his sheets.
All right.
Well, you can just use his sheets too.
That's fine.
You know, this isn't his actual room.
We've been over this.
Oh, look who's talking.
It's an illusion.
I know.
And you guys had to tell me.
I'm from the outside and I can see.
You are blinded by your spitefulness.
But it doesn't matter, I guess.
You're right.
Fine.
Just use the sheets.
I mean, if it's not his real sheets and it's his mud, it's a muddy sheets of fake sheets.
I mean, he's fine.
Yeah.
Fine.
I'm just saying it's not going to work for spite purposes.
I've been rubbing mud all over his floor since I got in here.
All right.
You're right.
I got too spicy.
I'm sprinkling bird seed all over this bitch.
The knocking has stopped at this point.
Is that good or bad?
Oh, that's haunting.
Oh, wait.
Patches.
Yeah, go ahead.
No, no, no.
I was just saying.
I was saying, is that good or bad in character?
That's all.
Patches.
I'm still digging through the bookshelves.
I don't want to answer no goddamn haunted door.
Open the door.
Run another.
Roll another survey.
Or study or whatever.
Just do something.
Just.
I failed at studying, too.
This is to do the dice gods, like you said, in the chat.
They're bad.
I'm bad.
You're just kind of trashing the joint at this point.
Like, you're not even really looking around.
Like, you see his plates and things on the.
I'm drawing, like, mustaches on his pictures and shit.
You know, just really being super petty.
Chuckles, are you still at the door?
Yeah, I'm going to poke my head out.
Like, I'm imagining, like, a hotel room where you poke your head out and look down both ends of the hallway.
Yeah.
Nothing's there.
Yeah.
It is the ship.
Those damn kids.
But when you do.
I will say, when you pop your.
You can't open the door.
When you pop your head out.
It is.
It's just the kahuna wave.
Just as you guys remember it.
There's nothing strange.
I mean.
Is it the same door we entered?
Yes.
And it's not like the room of doors where we came in.
It looks like the kahuna wave now.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, like, you open the door.
You walk through the office.
You open that same door.
And it leads out to the kahuna wave, which it normally would.
All right.
I don't know.
This is weird.
I think my room is down the hall.
In the kahuna wave.
Well, not lead.
Listen.
This is an illusion.
So, last two times, we just had the trash to the place.
And illusion was over.
Right.
Wait.
Perhaps in this illusion, I'll have a cannon.
I have an idea.
Cannon ball.
Bridget, can I attune?
Yes.
Yeah.
He's learning.
Partial success.
I partially attune.
You attune.
So, same as before.
You do recognize this as an illusion.
This time, though, you sense that there is another presence on board.
And it is, like, something different.
It's not just the security system of this castle.
It is, it's another person or being or something is else here.
You can feel Chuckles' energy.
You can feel Squish's energy.
You feel your own.
You feel Neelix that you have in your bottle.
Hotman that you also have in your bottle.
And you feel something else as well.
There's something else here.
And it's damn spooky.
What do you think it is?
Another ghost, maybe?
I can only guess.
Maybe a demon.
Something pretty damn powerful.
What is, how hot are they?
Oh, they're very hot.
It's, it's pretty hot.
I mean, Hotman's pretty hot.
These things are like the, it's like feeling a bonfire from, like, 20 feet off.
I know exactly what you mean.
Exactly.
It's hot.
And there's something else on it.
I don't because it depends on how big the bonfire is.
And 20 feet is pretty far.
So, but I know, I know what you're going for.
You've been wiping your feet off on the carp, or on the sheets.
What are you doing next?
I'm just going to try to run to the kitchen.
I want to see if I can make boom boom sauce.
I feel like that's going to be really, really helpful.
Okay.
You head down into the kitchen.
It is, hold on.
It's our kitchen.
Do I have it?
Hold on.
No, I don't have the kitchen.
So, it's like, I can't remember it.
Except it is kind of empty.
Like, it doesn't look like it's been well stocked or anything.
It's not dirty or abandoned or anything.
But it's like, it's kind of like maybe you hadn't been there before.
My point is, is that like, well, it does look like the Kahuna Wave.
It's not stocked with your normal items.
Oh, wow.
I come back out and go, boys, this ain't our shit.
I never would have left the kitchen like that.
I imagine you just come out in the hallway and like, he just left us.
We're not with you.
And follow you.
I'm still talking to the captain's quarters.
And you just ran to the kitchen?
Yeah.
Then I come back out.
Oh.
That's his MO.
He just runs to the kitchen.
Yes.
All right.
He's the kitchen kid.
So this isn't the Kahuna Wave.
I mean, it is.
But it's not the one that we left.
Yeah.
I mean, we kind of knew that already.
This is not new information.
It seems like it was before us.
I still think we just got to trash.
I still think we just got to trash the captain's quarters.
And somehow that'll work out for us.
But now let's just stop combos into his carpet.
A mud and mud romp his fucking couch.
But Patches, you've been on this ship before us.
That's true.
Do you have any secrets?
Yes.
Aside from whiskey.
Actually, I want to study on that question.
Good question.
Do I know any secrets about the Kahuna Wave?
Well, I think first of all, I think Squish, if I may, in character.
Squish, if I may.
I believe what you're asking is, you have a theory.
Your theory is, this is the Kahuna Wave in a previous version.
The version that predates me and you.
Yes.
And you're asking if the captain, the great captain, can confirm or deny this.
The cabin boy.
Oh, yes.
He would be a cabin boy at this time.
Yes.
Can you confirm or deny that this is a previous version of the Kahuna Wave before, you know, Juckles and Squish existed?
Juckles, what happened to you?
You sounded a lot more fancy all of a sudden.
Well, we're trying to figure out.
Well, I mean, clearly, like, what do you mean?
What does it matter?
We need to get out of here.
I think we're trying to figure out what we need to do in here.
We have to learn some kind of fucking lesson, right?
I assume.
I had to learn about love and Squish had to learn about beating the shit out of demons, I guess.
I just don't know the point of, like, trying to learn of, like, what version of this was, you know, if it was before or after us.
Is that what you're trying to figure out?
Well, yeah.
Well, I assume it's before us.
But, like, if you know any details about what happened before.
So, like, that big energy you felt, why?
Was there something you dealt with?
No, I think it's from the castle.
No, she said it wasn't.
She didn't?
Anything that's been...
So, before in the other rooms, you could tell that this was, like, I hate to use the word, like, a computer program running, where it was, like, something where it's, like, I have to, you know, delay these people.
We're in the holodeck.
Yeah.
Like, some...
But what you're feeling now, what you just felt, felt like another living, normal human person.
Like, someone else is on the ship with you.
Right.
Well, then we got to go to the top deck, then, I guess.
I mean, someone's probably flying the ship, right?
That is true.
Someone probably is steering the ship.
So, imagine the entity or entities that whoever is guiding this part of this illusion is probably at the helm.
I'm going to bet it's the red captain.
Again?
Or whatever color he was before us.
All right, green captain.
Well, we don't know.
I'm just saying.
I don't know what he was.
We asked him, and he had PTSD about before.
When he used to be but a mere cabin boy.
Why are we talking about when I was a cabin boy?
I don't see how it matters.
I plan to go back on the main deck to see what you can see.
Now that I think about this, it was very impressive that a cabin boy let him mutinate.
Yeah.
Cabin man.
Yeah.
No, he was the cabin boy of scraps.
He wasn't.
And he led a mutiny.
I know.
Now, to be fair, I was mutinied on myself, like, shortly afterwards.
Well, yes, but you still led the original mutiny.
You were successful in one mutiny.
It was, yes.
And a failure in the subsequent mutiny.
Yeah, it was more like a light.
I caught lightning.
I know.
I mean, I admit it was a good mutiny.
I mean, I won't, but.
Is this in character?
Yes, this is in character.
Most mutinies are supposed to be about, you know, brotherhood and rising up.
And, you know, just a week later, it tossed me in the ocean.
I guess I'm not that.
I guess I wasn't that good of a captain back then.
No, you don't say.
I'm trying.
I think I'm doing better.
This guy's a man.
This guy's an animal.
He, I at least don't try to run a harp on you and, like, make you listen to me through my music and force you to listen to me.
I just yell at you.
That's the fairest point you've ever made.
I'd like to poke my head out of the, because there's stairs here.
I imagine there's, like, a trap door I can poke my head out on the floor.
You mean, like, on the first deck?
Is the first deck the one, you know, outside?
Yeah.
The top deck.
Yeah.
So, you are able to, it's actually just a set of windows.
You peek through the windows.
And you do, in fact, see that there is a figure standing at the wheel.
Is he imposing?
He very much is.
You can only see behind him, but he is wearing a, just like, a gray robe.
Not even a frog.
Oh.
Oh, my.
Oh.
All right, guys.
There's a gray, robed man up there.
No frock.
I repeat, no frock.
All right.
It is very scary.
Come, come, come get a look at this.
We should, I think we should sneak up and get a look at him.
I think we should, we can't pull his pants down because he's not wearing pants.
He cannot.
He is not wearing pants.
He cannot be de-pantsed or de-frocked, but he might be de-robed.
Okay.
Are you going to prowl and sneak up on him, Pethis?
Oh, 100% I'm prowling.
Okay.
100% I'm prowling.
Roll for prowl.
Regular prowl.
Oh, this is just a bad night.
As soon as you take a step outside of the door, it's just like, creak on the floorboards.
And the dark robed figure turns and looks at you.
You cannot see the figure's face, Pethis, but you get a sense that you have met this figure before.
Ahoy there.
This is Captain McKenzie.
How you doing?
Does he respond?
You raised your hand.
Were you just waving?
I thought he was.
I thought I was Captain McKenzie.
My name is Captain Patches McKenzie.
How do you do?
And I try kind of strolling a little bit up there, you know, kind of like casual-like, super casual-like.
Yeah.
The figure at the helm turns her head and looks at you and they say in a voice.
It's a feminine voice.
It sounds normal.
She goes, oh, Captain Patches McKenzie.
So things worked out for you, huh?
I mean, I've become a captain.
I'm still in the market for a ship, of course.
But, you know, I am working my way in full captainship.
I finished chapter 12 of captaining for dummies.
I got past the mutiny chapter, finally.
Goodness Lord.
I thought this was your ship.
It's working to be.
No, I mean, I thought this was your ship.
And then we're going to do a flashback, Patches.
All right.
So this is back when you guys were on the island of Tiempo Re.
And everyone had made their, you know, wish, Patches or Chuckles had wished for acceptance.
Squish had wished for fulfillment.
You had wished with Maggie, the little ghost witch or old Margaret or Peggy.
You had wished for, you couldn't have decided between one of the two things.
You either wanted to know why you had to steal Neelix from the captain.
Or you had wanted possession of the Kahuna wave.
And.
You have to choose now.
Sorry, I interrupted.
No, no, it's all right.
You had chosen possession of the Kahuna wave.
Mm-hmm.
So she had asked you, what did you want?
You said, I want possession.
I want.
Well, tell me how you had answered that question.
Oh, I answered.
I just want the.
Give me the ship.
I figure I could still take the ship, you know.
In the captain's quarters on a desk that you had somehow missed.
There is, in fact, a deed standing on there.
And you're just now made aware of it that you have, like, walked past it.
That has signed the Kahuna wave over to you.
That this is now your ship.
Oh, my goodness.
So you've been trashing your own ship?
Your own captain's quarters?
That would explain a lot of the four dummies books, though.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, who are you?
You don't remember me?
I asked you to steal Neelix for me.
I asked you to take the Black Heart for me.
I'm sorry.
I hit my head when I got past that mutiny chapter.
And I hit my head.
And I actually did forget a lot of things.
I did remember who I was.
I did remember my name, Connor Patches McKenzie.
But I didn't remember much else other than trying to get the ship.
Because I could be a ship with my two buddies.
I don't remember you.
Our agreement was that you could get the Kahuna wave.
And in return, you would stop the captain from getting the Black Harp.
And you would turn Neelix over to me.
I'm still working on that first bit.
I am definitely going to stop him.
We just got to get out of this illusion that we keep falling into.
Bless you.
Again.
Speaking of that.
Enough.
She spins the wheel of the harp.
Now, the entire time you guys have been inside the captain's quarters, it has been nighttime.
And it has been relatively peaceful shores.
But she spins the wheel and brings the ship to a shuddering halt.
And she said, you still, no harp, no ship.
That was the deal.
I'll stop the captain.
I'll get rid of the harp.
And I'm almost at that point.
We're almost there.
We just got to figure out how to get out of this illusion.
And then we'll get there.
So, what am I even talking to you?
You're probably just part of the illusion anyway.
Are me and Junkles aware of this conversation?
Yes.
We're hearing this happen.
You hear.
You're hearing this happen.
All right.
But I wasn't sure if we heard it at the well or the spring.
You didn't hear it at the spring.
You didn't hear what he had wished for.
Okay.
So, we're hearing it now.
Got it.
So, this is a revelation to us.
Because I have a lot.
I have a lot of things to say about this.
Yes.
It is a revelation to you.
And you all hear this.
You hear Patches talking to this creature, this person, a woman, at the helm of the ship.
Okay.
If you guys want anything, you know.
Squish, do you have anything that you want to say?
No.
I just kind of want to creep closer so I can hear better.
Okay.
I just want to hear the juicy gossip.
I just want to tease.
I feel like we heard all of the gossip, though.
Yeah.
I mean, you've heard everything.
But if you want to creep a little closer, you're more than welcome to prowl.
Well, can I prowl closer than, like, pickpocket?
See if there's anything in her robes.
Yeah.
Go ahead and prowl.
I think I have decent prowl.
No, I don't.
You take a step in an attempt to prowl.
Like, you know, you're all hunched over and you take one step and the floorboard.
Creak!
Who oils this ship?
The cabin boy.
The creature on the deck turns their head and her hood turns to you.
You can't see any sort of, like, face or distinguishing figures underneath the hood.
And she goes, oh, did you bring them into it, too?
They're my crew.
I don't remember much, but I do remember my crew.
And these two have stood by me thick and thin.
It's interesting choice of words.
Brought us into it.
I feel like you did bring us into it, but you did not bring us into it.
I, you were not, you were not.
What is going on?
What is going on here?
Because we are neck deep in this stopping the heart bullshit.
And I feel like it was all for you to get this ship.
And you are not very forthright with us on your intentions here.
I have always been forthright in my intentions to mutiny and take that fucking ship.
I have several mutinies.
I, my, my fingers are in many different seething villainous stews.
All right.
Yes.
Well, I don't know now.
Now I'm fucking upset.
I am upset because now I feel further manipulated that you, you sold this to me as if this was a fight against good and evil.
And now this hooded figure who I have to trust because it's an illusion and it's trying to teach me a lesson, I presume, that it's just for you to get the ship.
So all you want to do is get the ship.
I still don't know if he's evil.
Juggles.
It's very simple.
Listen, the, sorry, go.
I was going to say, juggle.
Go ahead, Bridget.
I keep cutting the house.
Yeah.
The, the gray robed figure interrupts and she goes, oh no, the captain is very evil.
This guy, no, he's, the red captain's very evil.
Captain Fitzcline is one of the most dangerous men.
I mean, he kills indiscriminately.
He binds people into slavery after their death.
And you apparently have given him the opportunity to control anyone he meets.
I mean, that's a bad thing.
That, that, that was bad.
That's bad.
So if we win, we save the world and we get his ship.
Well, you get his ship.
I'm taking you guys with me.
Yes.
We get to be, we get the privilege of being part of your crew.
No, okay.
How about this?
I'll make it.
You do see how it's a bit, it's a bit slanted towards this new captain.
I'm going to offer you an idea.
Probably less evil.
It's, it's a little radical idea.
Co-captaining.
What?
We can all be three co-captains of the new ship.
Well, I mean, I don't really want to be captain.
I don't know what I'm doing, lads.
Listen, I don't know what I'm doing.
I know one thing though.
I know that you two have stood by me thick and through and through all of this.
And I'm trying not to manipulate you, but I don't remember everything that happened.
I don't even remember who's in this cloak person.
All right.
But I do remember that we do have to stop that, that the captain is always bad and we have to stop the captain.
Why does she want Elix?
Yeah, that is true.
I don't remember.
Are they attracted to him, her?
No.
Elix is important to the group that I'm supposed to bring back to Lockport.
All right.
That's all I remember.
I don't remember.
I was going to try to take the ship to go to Lockport and then try to find out because I don't remember anything.
I don't remember who I am.
So now this is the truth.
So we didn't really get a fair share of captain in because you were already deciding where we're going.
It was, it was, I was going to bring it up to you guys later.
I know it's a little dishonest, but I didn't know.
I didn't have my own ship.
I'm not going to tell you guys, oh, let's go to Lockport.
If I got the ship and I'd bring it up to you and be like, hey, let's go to Lockport.
I got to bring Elix somewhere and maybe figure out my whole backstory.
So you're really just piecing this all together as.
As I go.
Yes.
Pretty much.
Okay.
I feel like that's the most honest thing you've ever told us.
I'm trying to be.
I haven't drank a drop in like 20 minutes and I'm being very honest.
I was told to get an Elix.
I stole him from the captain.
He got really pissed.
Tossed me.
Oh, I do.
It's mutinied.
Then he, then I got mutinied.
And now here we are.
And so I'm supposed to bring this Neelix back to Duskfall.
If our Lockport, I'm sorry.
And if the captain, red captain finds out I have him, he will very much murder me because he wants Neelix back.
I don't know why this group wants Neelix.
I don't know why the red captain wants Neelix.
I do know that if I bring it back to Lockport, I might find out why.
This new group also wants the heart.
Yeah.
Well, they, they mostly don't want the captain.
I mean, she's standing right there.
You could ask her yourself.
I mostly don't think she wants the captain.
No, you just want the heart, late person, rogue figure.
That's part of the deal.
Listen, you guys seem like you need to talk a lot of this out.
I just came in by to mess with your illusion.
Do we have to kill you?
Oh, no, no.
You don't have to kill me.
Can I?
You do have to kill this.
Oh, no.
And she disappears.
No, come on.
How many times?
The Leviathan, you guys recognize this guy.
He's got scarred one eye and a slit up his stomach.
That's right.
This is the same Leviathan that you guys tried killing outside of the cannibal island.
Oh, my goodness.
You're not going to fight a Navy.
Here's another fucking Leviathan.
How do you like that?
I run up and grab the wheel.
Is the is the is the is the ghost lady on?
She's gone.
I grabbed the wheel and the helm.
And I go, co-captains.
We got to do something.
And at that moment, three steering wheel or two additional steering wheels come out of the floor.
Power Rangers.
Do we want to do it here for tonight?
Yeah, I think so.
OK, I mean, if you my sleep, my sleep is all fucked up.
So I am still wired.
But I mean.
I mean, I'm fine to keep going, but it's how much longer you got.
Well, I mean, you have to fight the captain, right?
Yeah, you got this to the captain.
So it's up to you.
We can get try to get through this or I need one more.
I think we'll be able to do all of it one night.
I think.
No, not all of it, but maybe 1030.
If you want, I can't.
I can't.
I just have to use the washroom again.
OK, we'll take a break.
All right.
Second break.
God, second break.
Hail the boys.
Yeah.
So this Leviathan comes up ahead of you.
You recognize this Leviathan instantly.
It's the same one that you fought off earlier.
He is damaged.
He is haggard and he is back, baby.
In fact, that's what my notes even say.
He's back, baby.
There's two wheels.
Do not do not come up out of the crowd.
Come on.
One wheel.
But the ship is kind of in like tip top shape.
She's in prime fighting condition.
Last time.
Last time we fought this Leviathan, we were in the junk fort, weren't we?
Yes, you were.
You were in the junk fort.
And it destroyed the junk fort.
Yeah.
But look how much damage we did in a junk fort.
Now that we brought.
Do we have a nuclear cannonball?
What?
Do we still have the nuclear cannonball?
No, I.
It's pronounced nuclear.
Nuclear.
All right, boys.
All right.
All right, boys.
What do you think we should do?
Kill this thing.
All right.
Just let it eat us.
I say charge.
One of those is a lot easier than the other.
Yeah.
I say we ram the ship right down its throat.
Well, that is definitely easier option of letting the kill us.
No, no.
We will ram the ship down its throat.
Then start shooting for cannonballs.
And we kill it that way.
Do we have cannonballs?
Can I look for cannonballs?
I'll go look.
Weapons check.
And I go racing my tiny little feet down to the lower deck to see what kind of bitching cannons we may or may not have.
Like a kid on Christmas.
Yep.
Like a little taco roach.
You run down the steps.
And your bedroom is no longer where it is anymore.
It's just the cabin cruise or the cruise cabin.
So like before, it was just like hammocks.
And it just looks more clean and neat.
But you do find that the ship is well stocked.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It is fully outfitted for battle.
For cannon.
For dragon throating.
Are you going to ram ship in?
What do you guys think?
Well, no.
I'm radioing above.
No.
Who is this?
Yeah.
No.
This ship is ready for battle.
We may not have to.
We may not have to kamikaze this thing.
I wasn't going to kamikaze it.
I was going to ram it into its mouth and then blow it to smithereens.
Yeah.
But that's indistinguishable from being eaten.
Right.
But then it'll be dead.
And we'll be stuck inside.
All right.
We'll try cannonballing it.
Well.
Before that happens though.
Wait.
Are we going to still like go towards it?
I mean.
We haven't decided yet.
You said to stop.
I just figured this wasn't a real ship and this is not a real Leviathan.
I was going to.
But we are real.
We.
Right.
But if we kill the Leviathan.
Have we given each other the flesh test?
Not recently.
But now we can't trust us.
You said I couldn't do it to you anymore.
Yeah.
You kept grabbing people.
But what I'm thinking is we ram the ship in the mouth.
Kill the Leviathan.
Which is probably the big boss of this room.
And then we'll break the illusion.
So the only way to win is to not play.
Probably we can also shoot it in the mouth I suppose.
I mean.
I'm just trying to make it done faster.
But let's go fire.
We can blast it from the inside.
I mean.
Quick.
Look delicious.
Bring it up.
You're not elix.
Look delicious.
All right.
What are we.
Are we going.
I mean.
Awesome.
I mean.
That was my plan.
But if you guys want to shoot it out like a battle with like a.
From the sides and all that.
We can also do that too.
And see how.
I mean.
I think we.
I would like to climb up to the crow's nest.
And shoot it.
It's other eye.
Is it missing?
So you can.
Yeah.
You got.
I think I shot the other one.
Okay.
All right.
Sorry.
I missed that.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Throw your hunt.
Oh my God.
Marshall.
I should have pushed myself.
You graze.
His.
The side of his face.
And you're.
You're able.
You kind of see some blood come out.
But he's not damaged to the point where he's blind.
But he is pissed off now.
And he.
Kind of slaps the water.
And sends like a huge wave.
Along the.
Through the kahuna.
Or.
Below the kahuna.
I don't know how waves work.
Anyway.
Point is.
Is you guys are all jostled.
And kind of sent to your feet.
Sent to the ground.
No.
Oh no.
I'm in the pros.
That's not good.
Yeah.
Well you better hold on.
Yeah.
You're kind of thrown off.
I'm going to let you say.
You still kind of hold on.
But yeah.
You're definitely disoriented a bit.
Patches.
Squish.
Or patches.
Juggles.
You got something.
Can I.
Can I make a shot.
Before we get eaten.
Yeah.
Shoot her.
Okay.
I was kind of asking everyone.
So.
Yeah.
I did get guesses all around.
Yeah.
Shoot her.
Wait.
You really need my permission to shoot something?
I'm going to say no.
You've always asked us.
When I said all around.
I wasn't including you.
Squish.
The question you should not ask me is.
If I can't.
It's when should I.
Yeah.
How soon can I shoot?
Yeah.
Uh.
I hope.
It's a tinker roll.
But of course it's not.
Uh.
What would it be?
I mean.
You're just like.
Putting a cannon ball.
Into a cannon.
And then firing.
Right?
Correct.
Uh.
I'll say wreck.
Yeah.
I'll take that.
It seems like you're just.
Trying to blow him up.
I guess I'll help.
Before.
Oh.
Never mind.
I already shot it.
Sorry.
Why did you.
Throw him privately.
Uh.
Because I.
I did not mean to do that.
Uh.
But I'll make this public.
So.
Cannon ball.
Yeah.
Uh.
Where do you want to.
Where do you hit him?
Or where would you like to hit him?
I'm just.
Aiming in the head area.
Not particularly precisely.
I want to see if there's any shot of like.
Even damaging this thing at all.
Yeah.
So you.
You.
Fire right to its head.
And I'm going to say you kind of hit the.
Same spot.
That.
Squish.
Shot.
Shot earlier.
So he kind of like the side of his head.
Uh.
So he's like.
His face is pushed away.
Uh.
And for a moment.
The ship is able to stabilize.
Yes.
Did it.
Two of those together.
One.
Eight.
Uh.
Patches you.
Uh.
I start maneuvering the ship.
Uh.
To kind of aim for.
Uh.
That was a great shot lad.
Do you want to take another one?
Yeah.
I.
Uh.
Well.
Uh.
I presume I don't have unlimited cannonballs.
Um.
No.
But there are a lot.
No.
There.
There's quite a few.
I mean.
Okay.
I would definitely say more than the three you guys were running with before.
Can I survey.
I know you said we don't have a nuclear cannonball.
But can I survey to see if there's any special cannonballs?
Sure.
Special balls.
Yeah.
No special balls.
Okay.
These are very run of the mill cannonballs.
All right.
It just makes sense.
Uh.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's blast him again.
Yeah.
Well.
I would like to.
Before.
Junkle shoots.
Too late.
I'm going to shoot.
Okay.
Shoot him.
Shoot him at the same time.
Well.
I would like to shoot.
Tell me what you're doing.
I was going to say.
I'd like to shoot him.
And then.
While that's happening.
I can.
Better read.
On the situation.
That would help.
Chuckles.
Aiden.
Yeah.
Um.
So you want to like.
Shoot him in order to kind of like.
Distract him.
Or.
Distract him.
Like.
Something that's a little bit more vulnerable.
To.
Like.
To you.
Or to like.
Yeah.
Get him to face that way.
Okay.
Um.
I'll have you do a hunt roll.
And then we'll see how that.
That goes.
Success.
You do it.
Do it.
So.
Uh.
You aim your gun in such a way.
That you kind of like.
Graze up and over his like.
His head.
Um.
And he's like.
He lifts.
Like.
He pulls his head back.
In retaliation.
You can see that his entire stomach region.
Is like.
Pretty soft and fleshy.
So these guys are very scaly.
The leviathans are very scaly.
And hard on the outside.
But they have a very soft underbelly.
Oh yeah.
Plus.
I cut him before.
Yes.
Uh.
The scar is still there.
But yeah.
He is.
Like.
That is where.
He is most.
Uh.
Vulnerable.
Is along his.
His belly.
His neck.
And his stomach.
Captain.
Aim for that.
But.
Aim for the scar.
Yeah.
Can you.
Uh.
Put us in better position.
So that I can aim for that scar.
Yeah.
I am going to finesse it.
Alright.
Right.
You are going to.
You are going to sail the boat.
Yeah.
Sailing the boat.
Partial success.
Oh.
We hit a squall.
We did.
We.
Partial success.
We sailed directly into a squall.
Right in between us and the.
A tiny little micro squall.
No.
You know.
Like a.
You know.
A seagull.
I hit a bird.
You.
Oh my wife.
You kind of.
Self.
You're able to finesse the boat.
And kind of aim it.
So that you're like.
You.
The cannons are like.
Broadside.
Like.
Perpendicular.
To this.
To the.
To the soft underbelly.
So.
Chouples.
You're going to have an.
I'm going to say.
For the additional.
Information.
And then the plus.
For the.
Finescing.
You.
Can have plus two.
On your next.
Attempt to.
Shoot this guy.
The downside.
Is.
Is that.
He's also.
Like.
You're perpendicular.
To him.
All he has to do.
Is come careening down.
And he's going to hit the ship.
So you guys are both.
In a very vulnerable.
And advantageous position.
You better not miss.
No stress.
I mean.
No.
No tension.
No pressure.
And.
If it changes.
So who's rolling.
I rolled.
Oh.
That's.
Yeah.
You.
Blast him.
Right in the stomach.
You're able to kind of hit him really good.
And he kind of like sinks down as you hit him.
Because it's a very tender and sore spot now.
It's right where he's been scarred.
But now his face is kind of at the same level as the ship.
You guys can smell his horrible fish.
Just like mouth.
Foul.
Rotting breath.
And you feel this hot heat.
As he's snorting at you.
And he.
As he like kind of twists.
In pain.
He's going to smack.
Right into the boat again.
And he's going to kind of like rock the thing over.
So the Kahuna wave isn't going to like start sinking or anything.
But it's definitely going to like tip in the water quite a bit.
And start to take on a little bit of water.
How close is it?
I'm going to say.
Are you going to ask if it's jumpable?
You.
No comment.
You cannot physically jump over this Leviathan set.
I'm just going to put that right on there.
You can definitely like.
If you crawled up onto the crow's nest.
And you.
You would be like eye to eye level with it.
But there's no conceivable way.
You could just jump.
Like.
Over him.
You know.
He's a giant sea creature.
No.
Not over him.
I'm going to jump.
Onto his head.
Oh.
Yeah.
Sure.
Why not?
Let's just kill yourself.
I'll just jump right onto his head.
I'm going to say it's a finesse.
A finesse roll.
Well.
How good is my finesse here?
Not good.
I guess I'm going to.
I'll stress myself.
On this one.
I guess I'm going to die.
Here we go.
The garbage monster all over again.
For the second time tonight.
Yeah.
Jumping into the monster.
You're able.
You do jump onto the monster.
You survive the initial jump.
But you're going to kind of scramble.
For any sort of purchase.
He's got like a scaly exterior.
And while there are like ridges and stuff on his head.
You can grab.
You are unable to kind of grab them.
As he like lifts his head back up.
And you're just kind of scrambling.
At this point.
How is that supposed to help us?
Yeah.
You're now away from the ship.
Patches.
You're at the wheel.
I.
Can I.
Can I like.
Ram into the.
Into him with the ship.
Like.
Yeah.
Can I wreck him with the ship?
Yeah.
Is that his role wreck?
Yeah.
Success.
Do it.
Bang.
You.
If you guys remember.
The head of the Kahuna wave.
Is.
A beautiful.
Topless woman.
Yeah.
The figurehead is a beautiful.
Topless woman.
With her arm pointed out.
Patches.
You just take it.
And just jam it.
Like poking it.
Right.
Into the soft.
Under.
Right.
Where.
Troubles.
Has just.
Struck him.
So you're going to go.
And just like.
Like collide.
Right.
Into him.
He kind of gives a screech.
And a thrash.
Which is bad news for you.
Squish.
Because you are still trying to hold on.
To his head.
All right.
Yeah.
I guess that's up to you then.
Squish.
Yeah.
You're on his head.
I'm.
I'm going to try to.
Regain.
My foot.
And walk over to his good eye.
Okay.
His good eye.
Regaining your foot.
If it stays.
It's going to be a finesse.
Look at me.
A finesse rule.
I'll push myself.
Again.
Extra one.
Yeah.
Okay.
You don't fall off.
You're able to kind of.
Hold on.
Enough.
To.
To make your way over.
To his eye.
But it's slow going.
I'm going to have you roll.
To actually hit his eye.
In the next.
Next round.
Uh.
Chuckles.
It's up to you.
It's all on you boy.
It's all up to me to do what?
Whatever you want.
Uh.
So you.
I mean.
I don't know.
I guess.
So we've.
We've rammed into him.
And what?
I shoot him?
Whatever you like to do.
I feel like that's the.
I mean.
The other option.
Either of the option is.
Just jumping on him.
I guess.
Yeah.
We could do that.
But I feel like.
That's.
I suggested us getting eaten.
But we're.
Just going to have to just.
It's too late for that.
Nickel and dime him.
Kind of.
No.
Yeah.
Unless he gets hungry.
Uh.
Oh.
Okay.
What I would like to do.
Is.
Can I.
Tinker.
Like a super cannonball.
Sure.
All right.
I mean.
Maybe I don't.
Maybe I don't have a chance.
To shoot it this round.
Or whatever.
And trying to balance it.
Yeah.
I would like to.
Yeah.
We'll say.
Because it takes some time.
Yeah.
Go ahead and tinker.
Yeah.
Been so busy.
Fighting.
I haven't had time to tinker.
Yeah.
I know.
I haven't had a chance to tinker.
It's been a damn shame.
Uh.
So you look around.
And you're able to find.
Uh.
Maybe not nuclear fission material.
But you find.
Enough.
Yeah.
Like gunpowder.
Uh.
Shratnel.
Uh.
Pieces of oil.
You're talking about some.
Chewing uranium.
It's like a firework show.
Who's been chewing on our uranium?
God damn it.
Didi.
Um.
You're able to kind of create.
A pretty nasty.
Like.
Shratnel weapon.
That's.
Once it's discharged.
It's just going to.
Uh.
Release a lot of damage.
Um.
But we'll save that for your next.
Role.
Uh.
Patches.
You have.
Rammed.
The figurehead of your precious boat.
Into.
Your precious ship.
Into this leviathan.
I am going to try to get us into.
I'm going to try to steer us away.
Far enough.
So we get a very good.
Aventations position.
So that.
Uh.
There's no way.
Juggles is going to miss.
Like.
I want to get in a really good spot.
You know.
Okay.
Roll your finesse.
Roll him off.
Because now you have to back up.
This is like trying to parallel park.
Yeah.
Then just like parallel parking.
In Chicago.
I did it bad.
You try to pull.
Um.
Out of the leviathan.
Uh.
Chests.
And.
Uh.
And.
Unfortunately.
The figurehead is really jammed in there.
So as the leviathan.
Like.
Twists his massive body around.
The ship is going to twist too.
And it's kind of caught on this as well.
So your footing.
Is generally going to be unsafe.
At this point.
Um.
Which doesn't affect you.
Uh.
Squish.
Since you're on top of his head.
Am I close to his eyeball?
Yeah.
You're close to his eyeball.
Oh.
I'm jumping right into the eyeball.
Into an eyeball?
Jumping into the eyeball?
Well.
No.
I'm just going to get right above it.
And shoot it.
I guess.
Well.
You're going to drop kick his eyeball?
Yeah.
I mean.
Have you seen the new suicide squad?
No.
Okay.
Drop kick and eyeball.
All right.
Yeah.
If you're going to shoot it.
Uh.
Yeah.
Hunt.
If you're going to just drop kick it.
I would do a wreck.
Whichever one you prefer.
No.
I'm just going to hunt it.
With your foot.
I'm just going to hunt it with my foot.
Uh.
Yeah.
So.
You're able to.
Uh.
You.
I'm going to say you.
You.
Jab him in the eye.
Real good.
Um.
And he is like temporarily blinded.
Uh.
The bad news is.
Is now he's starting to thrash his head.
Um.
And you're about to fall off of it.
Yeah.
That sounds all right.
Yeah.
Yep.
Uh.
Chuckles.
You have your.
Shretnel bomb.
Armed and ready.
Yeah.
I feel like.
There's.
Yeah.
There's several ways this could go wrong.
But I.
I am just going to.
Yeah.
I'm going to.
Blast him.
I'm going to blast him.
Aim for the eyeball.
Blast him.
I'm going to aim for that red thing.
Next to his eye.
No.
I'm not going to aim for his eye.
It's me.
I'm serious.
Aim for his eyeball.
No.
Aim for me.
I get it.
I put myself in this position.
I'll survive.
Yeah.
He's durable.
Really.
He's made.
He's made out of.
I love his nails.
Uh.
I mean.
I'm not really aiming.
I am just like.
Pointing in the general direction.
Of the dragon.
Or the leviat.
Don't say things like that.
That'll.
Yeah.
No.
So I was going to do a plus one.
If you had.
Maneuvered.
Well.
But that didn't work.
No.
And then I was going to.
You know.
He.
Squish is.
Blinded him.
But.
Also.
He.
Patches failed that maneuver.
So it's kind of like a draw.
At this point.
Do I get a plus one.
For.
Firing blindly.
I think your wreck is pretty good.
I think you'll be fine.
Yeah.
We've.
I don't know.
We haven't rolled anything good all day.
But I don't care.
So what if I kill.
Kill Squish.
Or Juggles.
I mean.
Please don't kill Juggles.
You.
You fire.
You blast him.
Unfortunately.
As the blast goes out.
Of the cannonball.
It kind of like.
Just blows away.
The side of the ship.
At the same time.
So you.
You hit him.
You do some pretty serious damage.
The Leviathan is like.
You hear this high pitch.
Screaming.
It's lashing back and forth now.
Juggles.
You are.
Or squish.
You are barely hanging on.
With your dear life.
Just like.
You know.
As this thing screams.
Anybody want to do anything.
Before this thing comes crashing down.
On the Kahuna wave.
Juggles.
It's twisted.
Juggles.
Get up here.
Get out of here.
We got a.
Abandon ship.
Dude.
Might have eyelashes.
By chance.
I don't know man.
Sometimes.
I'm going to say.
Sometimes.
I'm going to say no.
I don't think.
Hold on.
Let me look.
Do eels have eyelashes?
Is he wearing eyeliner?
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Do Leviathans have eyelashes?
There's a plant up there.
There's.
No.
I know.
I know there's something up there.
I'm going to say no.
In general.
No.
They do not have eyelashes.
So it's not.
That's an alien thing.
All right.
Well then.
While it's been in the air.
I'm going to jump into the eyeball.
I.
I mean.
All right.
I mean.
Do you want to.
I'm just on with.
Patches is playing.
Yeah.
We can.
I'll just jump in the water.
I'm jumping in the water.
That we don't.
It's a good way.
But.
If I jump in.
Like.
You know.
Like.
Once again.
It hooked on this side.
Right.
It'll.
Pull.
So it'll fall to the side.
Instead of straight.
Straight down.
This is a fake.
This is a fake wave anyway.
I don't know.
The clock says.
Lose the kahuna forever.
Right.
So I'm trying to.
Tear it away from the kahuna.
No.
This is.
No.
It's fine.
But I mean.
I just don't think we need to win.
Oh yeah.
We're winning.
We should be trying to win.
All right.
I just suggested.
An immediate plan.
That I thought was selfish.
And.
It's a character developing.
Roman.
We can't.
Like.
It's not like I'm talking to you.
Over the walk.
And my plan.
You guys can still abandon shit.
Right.
But my plan.
Is to jump into the eye.
And distract it.
To the point where.
It kind of like.
Leans its head to the side.
All right.
Well then.
And falls on the side of the ship.
Then I'll give a hard left.
Am I.
Did I jump out?
Did you?
I mean.
What I would suggest.
Maybe.
You did say abandon ship.
Well.
I mean.
That was out of character.
Okay.
I'm just.
I don't know.
Um.
Uh.
Well.
Maybe.
Uh.
All right.
No.
Wait.
I got a better idea.
Don't abandon ship.
Fire the cannons.
So it kind of.
The whiplash.
Pushes us away from him.
Ah.
Yes.
A maneuver.
Yeah.
Tie all the cannons.
To one string.
And pull them.
Okay.
That's.
That's Scooby doing it.
So I don't think.
That's how you fire a cannon.
You know.
From the Scooby.
Do.
The Scooby-Doo pirate episode.
Or.
Or a long.
Flint.
If you want to do it that way.
I mean.
Yes.
In cartoons.
Sometimes.
Yeah.
It just seems like they pull a string.
And the thing fires.
So.
Yeah.
I can do that.
All right.
Yeah.
Take care of yourself.
A long string.
I think that's within your wheelhouse.
Yeah.
I.
I hope that that's possible to do.
Success.
Long string.
Barely.
Barely got it.
But you did.
The dumbest tinker you've ever done.
A long string.
I take it a bunch of strings together.
All right.
And.
Do I pull it?
Oh.
You pull.
And you're able to kind of like.
Fish tail.
The kahuna.
It surprisingly works.
You don't hit the leviathan.
But the force of all of these cannons.
Shooting in one direction.
Kind of forces it out.
And back.
So it's no longer attached.
To the leviathan.
Oh nice.
Okay.
I just imagine.
Like all our shoelaces.
Are gone now.
This is all of the.
All of the spare string.
Squish.
Are you still going to jump in its eye?
Oh yeah.
Because I don't know anything.
Going on.
No.
He just started to blast.
Jump in his eye.
And it looks like we missed.
He just heard someone say.
Abandon ship.
I was going to say that's.
Yeah.
I'm guessing a hunt.
Is that a what?
A wreck.
Or how would you roll that one?
I don't have one for jumping.
In the eye.
Wreck.
I don't think this has ever happened before.
And all the other jumping ones.
Weren't they wreck?
Yeah.
Wreck sounds right.
Yeah.
But I'm going to push myself.
Again.
All right.
I'll take a trauma for this.
That's fine.
Okay.
What trauma do you want to pick?
Oh.
Reckless.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
Weird.
Oh shit.
I didn't realize I can do that.
I clicked on reckless.
Yeah.
I saw that.
So I don't know exactly what's the.
Negatives that's going to be.
But.
I think.
I was going to say.
I think you do stupid stuff.
Like jumping.
The eye of Leviathan.
Like your freaking.
O.B.
Dick.
Last time.
It's not.
It jumped out.
It was mouth.
Yeah.
Really.
This is just an installation.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Give yourself an extra one.
And then wreck it.
Wreck that eye.
Okay.
I'll take it.
Wreck that.
You.
Jump.
Into the eye of the Leviathan.
And like a balloon.
Jumping into it.
There's a huge explosion.
And there's just this.
Explosion.
Of its eye goop.
And muscles.
The eye just kind of like.
Just pops like a.
Like a dirty balloon.
Gross balloon.
The Leviathan.
Screeches in pain.
It cries out.
It starts like.
Shaking its head.
Back and forth.
You guys.
See this Leviathan.
Kind of like.
Over top of you.
As it's like.
Screening over.
And you feel like.
It's about to kind of.
Fall down.
On you.
You see this giant.
Leviathan head.
Just like.
Coming.
For your ship.
Any last words.
Brace yourselves.
Abandon ship.
Oh.
I can't pull that again.
I can only pull that once.
As a captain.
Yes.
And then I get yelled at.
So no.
Brace yourselves.
We're going down.
With the ship boys.
I hide under a table.
You hide under the table.
Patches.
Where are you hiding?
I'm hiding behind my wheel.
I'm like.
I'm.
I'm tying myself.
To the wheel.
With.
You tie yourself.
To the wheel.
There's a large.
This huge head.
Is it coming towards you?
Uh.
Squish.
You were holding on to the head.
So you're careening down.
Into the boat.
At the same time.
As they're seeing this thing.
Come towards them.
Um.
And then.
At the last second.
Uh.
When you think this thing's about to hit you.
Uh.
The shadow of the Leviathan.
Passes over you.
And when it's gone.
You guys are back.
In the empty room.
Oh my god.
You're right.
None of that matters.
Squish.
You do like.
Roll a little bit.
Uh.
You kind of just like.
Like.
You just fell off the ladder.
A little bit.
You know.
Just like.
It's not nearly as big of a drop.
As you were expecting.
Woo.
What a rush.
Yeah.
That was a rush.
What lesson.
Are you right.
From that one.
There was no lessons.
Eyeballs.
We point.
I always aim for the eyeballs.
Always aim for the eyeballs.
And the testicles.
Also.
You got.
The eyes are the testicles.
Of the face.
Should I dive into your testicles?
No.
Just.
No.
Wrong lesson.
All right.
Well.
Lads.
That was weird.
Right?
That.
Was weird.
Especially that.
That ghost lady.
Anyway.
Let's.
Hop to it.
Yeah.
Onward upwards.
Actually.
Now that you mentioned.
I had forgotten about.
Unresolved business.
Yeah.
No.
Unresolved.
Right now.
We have no time.
For that.
Right.
GM.
We have to get out of here.
There's a lot of things.
A few minutes.
What?
We got a few minutes.
I like to watch you squirm.
No.
Heavens no.
No.
Yeah.
I just feel like.
I'm curious.
No.
You guys already said.
You forgive me.
Let's go.
Well.
I never said that.
I heard.
I never said that.
To anyone.
Your eyes told me that.
I do think that you.
Came clean.
Maybe.
But I felt like you came clean before.
But you didn't come entirely clean.
How clean are we right now?
How clean can you be when you have memory loss?
Do you have memory loss?
Yes.
I keep telling you that.
It seems very weird.
Drinking.
If I haven't.
Have I been telling you?
It seems very weird.
Yeah.
I thought I'd been telling you that.
You knew the deal.
That you made.
It's all coming back to me.
But then you don't.
Remember with whom?
It's all coming back to me.
Slowly.
Okay.
Well then tell us.
I know there's a deal.
Then tell us.
I know there's a deal.
Tell us all the details you remember.
I know there's a deal.
It's in Lockport.
With Neelix and the harp.
Just Neelix.
I don't know anything about the harp necessarily.
I don't remember about the harp.
We just need to make sure that.
The captain doesn't get the harp.
Yeah.
Oh that's what it is.
The red captain.
I mean whoever wants Neelix.
Whoever wants Neelix.
Whoever this people.
This person.
Whoever they are.
I don't think they want the red captain.
Taking over the world.
With his magic harp.
And bad music.
I mean have you heard the guy.
Play his.
Uh.
Ukulele.
He's a.
He's a joke.
A joke.
Yeah.
But is it really.
You guys do hear the sound of the ukulele plucking.
It doesn't affect you.
Uh.
Except only to like.
Draw your attention to it.
Uh oh.
Yep.
Why should we trust you?
Because.
I've.
Listen.
You maybe.
Maybe you can't.
But.
I'm trying my best.
To do the best I can.
Why is Neelix so important?
I swear.
I don't remember.
All right.
I really don't.
But.
If you help me get out of here.
We'll go on the ship.
We'll go anywhere you guys want.
And.
As long as it's Lockport.
Well.
I mean.
That's just for my personal.
My own personal grips.
If you guys want to go somewhere else.
We can first.
I'm willing to make that concession for you.
I just think that whatever my history is.
It's in Lockport.
And that's the only way I'm going to find out.
I got to bring Neelix there.
And then I can find out who I am.
That's it.
So.
Who's playing that goddamn ukulele?
It sounds too good to be the red captain.
He's gotten a lot better.
He has gotten a lot better.
If that's him.
He's gotten a lot better.
I agree.
We got to stop him from getting to the top of the mountain.
To get to the top of the tower.
Is that the goal?
All right.
Or stop him.
Keep it in the stairs.
Have him.
Well let's get to the top of the tower.
And we'll knock him out.
All right.
We'll do the triple nut punch like we talked about.
Upwards.
And onwards.
I don't know.
Twirling.
And always twirling.
But we'll go up there.
And we'll do the triple nut punch.
Just like we planned.
And then.
We'll sail on to the horizon.
We'll do the triple nut.
