00:00:00Uh, that's two.
00:00:01Two successes.
00:00:02And I'm gonna use a willpower.
00:00:04Hell yeah.
00:00:05So three.
00:00:06You smash the car into the tree.
00:00:08A flaming Christmas tree in mid-January
00:00:10comes smashing into the green aisle.
00:00:14A Douglas-owned weed establishment here in town.
00:00:18Smashing into it, the gumbaroo vanishes into ash,
00:00:22and in the distance, you see a crispy bat-child
00:00:24in Darkness Man.
00:00:25Levante, you're getting all the business names here,
00:00:28watching as the tree smashes into the green.
00:00:29The green aisle, the fire starts to spread
00:00:31slightly to the exterior of Mike's.
00:00:34And also, there is no active fire department in Purpy.
00:00:38So what do you guys, what do you guys wanna do?
00:00:40What's on fire?
00:00:42The tree, the green aisle now,
00:00:45and it is licking on the outside of Mike's bar.
00:00:48I do have, I have, one of my things is check the trunk.
00:00:53It's like one of my advantages.
00:00:55I have easy access to an armor of cachet or tools.
00:00:58None of these items can exceed the value of something
00:01:01a resource's two character could access.
00:01:04Can I have a fire extinguisher?
00:01:06Sure.
00:01:06Can I just find one?
00:01:07I mean, we're in the...
00:01:08Mike's would have one, too.
00:01:09One in the Mike's?
00:01:10Yeah.
00:01:10We definitely put the fire outside of Mike's.
00:01:13Yeah.
00:01:13Cool.
00:01:13I think we let it go.
00:01:14Yeah.
00:01:15I think it's gonna get the whole town high.
00:01:18So seconds, not that long later,
00:01:21you guys see, as you guys were standing outside here,
00:01:23early morning, you guys see,
00:01:24whoop, whoop, whoop,
00:01:24a sort of squad car pulls up.
00:01:26I, into the water.
00:01:28Into the water.
00:01:29Just, you just get the fuck out of there.
00:01:32H.J. is gone.
00:01:33You see that an officer gets up and goes,
00:01:35holy shit, what happened here?
00:01:37It was insane.
00:01:39What happened?
00:01:39Some, these two kids had gotten a bear
00:01:44and they were filming something.
00:01:46Some sort of thing.
00:01:48My bar caught on fire.
00:01:49That's why I came down here.
00:01:50Officer looks over at you and says,
00:01:51your business owner?
00:01:52You're part owner here?
00:01:52Yeah, Mike's.
00:01:53Whatever you need.
00:01:55Really?
00:01:55If you own this business,
00:01:56then whatever you need, sir.
00:01:58You mean that?
00:01:58I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
00:02:00We are here to protect the business owners of Purpy.
00:02:02Oh, God.
00:02:03You see,
00:02:05you guys hear,
00:02:07a little moped,
00:02:09and you see,
00:02:10a dude gets off his bike.
00:02:12Oh, no.
00:02:13Absolutely roided.
00:02:14You see, he's got,
00:02:15he's got a full bazooka on his back.
00:02:18Wow.
00:02:18You see, he goes,
00:02:19hey there.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:21What, who's up to,
00:02:22who's lollygagging?
00:02:23Who's up to,
00:02:23who's up to no good?
00:02:25I don't know.
00:02:25Some, some kids,
00:02:27Levante-worthy,
00:02:27I'm part owner in Mike's bar.
00:02:29Yeah?
00:02:29Is this your car?
00:02:30It can't be parked here.
00:02:31That's not my car.
00:02:33The car that's on fire?
00:02:34Is that a cop?
00:02:34You see,
00:02:35he looks at you and goes,
00:02:36no.
00:02:36And you see,
00:02:37he starts to get on his moped
00:02:38and scoot away
00:02:39as the other officer.
00:02:41Is that Todd?
00:02:41Who are you?
00:02:42Officer Lewis says,
00:02:42that's Todd.
00:02:43I'm at four hunger.
00:02:44I have to eat Todd.
00:02:45I need to,
00:02:45I do,
00:02:46I need to.
00:02:47Officer,
00:02:47look this way.
00:02:48Yeah?
00:02:49I was so scared.
00:02:51I was really scared.
00:02:52Go eat him.
00:02:53Go eat him.
00:02:54Go.
00:02:54We got this.
00:02:56Look at him.
00:02:56So Todd's riding away
00:02:57on a moped, right?
00:02:58On a moped, yeah.
00:02:59Can I
00:03:00jump out of the water,
00:03:02stop Todd,
00:03:03and stop him for you?
00:03:03And grab Todd.
00:03:04Great.
00:03:05Head off Todd.
00:03:06Do you have an underwater
00:03:07sort of headset?
00:03:08I'm like,
00:03:09I'm like going like right here.
00:03:11Give me manipulation,
00:03:13persuasion
00:03:14against these,
00:03:15against these officers.
00:03:17And H.J.,
00:03:17Darkness Man and Bat Child,
00:03:18do you want to pursue Todd Farner?
00:03:20I think I'm gonna,
00:03:21oh,
00:03:21I'm so hungry,
00:03:22but we've already made
00:03:23such a mess today.
00:03:24Yeah,
00:03:25Todd's by himself.
00:03:26What's one more broken egg?
00:03:27Yeah,
00:03:27we follow Todd.
00:03:28Yeah,
00:03:29I mean,
00:03:29he literally put a,
00:03:30he put crosshairs
00:03:31on our car.
00:03:32That's true.
00:03:33Uh,
00:03:33that's
00:03:35five successes.
00:03:36Five successes from you.
00:03:38One,
00:03:39two,
00:03:39three,
00:03:40four,
00:03:40eight successes.
00:03:41Woo!
00:03:42I was really in my feels
00:03:43about how scary it was.
00:03:44You see,
00:03:44as you look over,
00:03:45you see,
00:03:46with a combined total
00:03:47of 13 successes,
00:03:48one of the police
00:03:49is walking up
00:03:49to the business's
00:03:50security cameras
00:03:51and is wiping a magnet
00:03:53over the hard drives
00:03:54of the cameras,
00:03:55being like,
00:03:56yeah,
00:03:56the last thing we want,
00:03:57I think it's a great point.
00:03:58If kids were to see
00:04:00these stunts or pranks
00:04:01on security footage,
00:04:02it would be all over TikTok.
00:04:03It'd become a new trend,
00:04:04TikTok.
00:04:05Better just to erase it.
00:04:06We don't need to do
00:04:07fire bear stuff anymore,
00:04:08I swear.
00:04:09Can I say something?
00:04:11Of course.
00:04:11Thank you for owning a business.
00:04:15Somebody's gotta do it.
00:04:19He just smells
00:04:20your clothes deeply
00:04:21and says,
00:04:22I noticed you're bleeding.
00:04:24Have you been attacked?
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:25The kids said,
00:04:27they pointed the bear
00:04:27at me.
00:04:29They said,
00:04:30they said,
00:04:30get him.
00:04:31He owns a business.
00:04:35He's a little fucking
00:04:36cognizant.
00:04:37I swear to God.
00:04:37They said,
00:04:38get that business owner,
00:04:39get him in his
00:04:40beautiful Italian silk shirt.
00:04:42We'll show him.
00:04:43We have a good idea
00:04:44who these kids are.
00:04:45Oh, well,
00:04:47I can definitely
00:04:48identify them
00:04:48if you need me
00:04:49to come down
00:04:49to the precinct.
00:04:50Great.
00:04:50It's a $500 shirt,
00:04:52which I think
00:04:53is grand theft
00:04:54in Oregon, right?
00:04:56C nods and says,
00:04:57you from East Coast?
00:04:59Yes.
00:05:00You see,
00:05:00he looks and says,
00:05:00all right,
00:05:02we're on it.
00:05:04There's some kids
00:05:04that are always
00:05:05messing with bears around here.
00:05:06Okay, we'll find out.
00:05:06And you see that he,
00:05:07they get in their car
00:05:08and pull out.
00:05:09For the rest of you,
00:05:10you see Todd
00:05:13on his little moth head.
00:05:13As soon as he's by himself.
00:05:15I mean,
00:05:15he's like around here,
00:05:16so it's pretty like,
00:05:17there's not much going on.
00:05:18I tackle him off the motorcycle.
00:05:20Let me try to eat him.
00:05:21No role necessary.
00:05:23Todd pulls around
00:05:24and looks over
00:05:25and sees the lumber mill
00:05:26and it's just like,
00:05:26lights on inside.
00:05:28That's a violation.
00:05:29Lights out!
00:05:32Great, you can slake
00:05:33all of your hunger
00:05:34down to zero.
00:05:36And I guess
00:05:36we have a bazooka now.
00:05:38You guys also have a bazooka?
00:05:39Yeah, I was going to say,
00:05:40yeah, I'll be huge.
00:05:41Incredible.
00:05:41Keep the bazooka.
00:05:43Oh, jeez,
00:05:44I was so hungry.
00:05:45How do I heal
00:05:47all this damage?
00:05:48Healing aggravated damage
00:05:49is incredibly challenging.
00:05:51You guys are in
00:05:52a lot of trouble.
00:05:53I need a sick day.
00:05:54You can't have a sick day.
00:05:55Our boss
00:05:56and our rivals
00:05:57are coming to dinner
00:05:58at the same time.
00:05:58It's her birthday.
00:05:59She can have a sick birthday.
00:06:01Aw, she's sick on her birthday.
00:06:03Oh my god.
00:06:03Hey, Ray,
00:06:04I might as well work.
00:06:05You know what?
00:06:05Have this bazooka.
00:06:07So you guys
00:06:07are going to carry these burns.
00:06:09You can only heal
00:06:10one level
00:06:11of aggravated damage
00:06:13by making
00:06:14three rouse checks
00:06:15at the beginning
00:06:16of a session
00:06:16in addition
00:06:17to the wake up rouse check.
00:06:19Damn.
00:06:20And yet to succeed
00:06:21through how many times?
00:06:22It removes one level
00:06:23each time you succeed.
00:06:24Per level of damage.
00:06:25I should have just
00:06:26made my mouth
00:06:26into a portal
00:06:27and mouth kissed it
00:06:28the whole time.
00:06:29Well, if you mouth kissed it,
00:06:30it wouldn't have blown up
00:06:31and we had to blow it up
00:06:32before it got to...
00:06:32I know, that's why I didn't...
00:06:33It would have gotten
00:06:33to the Douglas,
00:06:35Douglases,
00:06:35or it would have blown up
00:06:36in the...
00:06:37It could have...
00:06:38Was trying to fuck the bear
00:06:39was better.
00:06:40Was this the only bear?
00:06:41This was the only gum broo.
00:06:43Four more gum brooos.
00:06:44Yeah, four more gum broos
00:06:45turn the corner,
00:06:46each harder than the last.
00:06:48I hand Levante back his phone.
00:06:50Me and Tyler
00:06:50have clearly been sexting.
00:06:51What?
00:06:53What?
00:06:54From your...
00:06:55From my phone?
00:06:58I don't have his number.
00:06:59Having defeated the gum broo,
00:07:01all of you are left wondering
00:07:03about what Madelaine saw
00:07:06in her premonition
00:07:07with Boyd Douglas astride
00:07:09that altar
00:07:09on the Golden Bounty Farm
00:07:11and what is to come.
00:07:12However,
00:07:13some of your companions here
00:07:14are badly,
00:07:15badly injured.
00:07:17During that following day,
00:07:18Tyler Morimoto
00:07:19gets a whole bunch
00:07:20of candles
00:07:21and everything
00:07:22that you need
00:07:22and gets to work
00:07:25such that
00:07:25when evening time
00:07:27rolls around,
00:07:29you all find yourself
00:07:31awakening
00:07:32in your domicile.
00:07:34And I will ask
00:07:35Darkness Man
00:07:35and Batch Child
00:07:36if you would like to
00:07:36on this first evening
00:07:37attempt to heal
00:07:39some of the aggravated damage.
00:07:40Yes, that would be great.
00:07:41It's going to be
00:07:42in addition
00:07:43to your normal rouse checks
00:07:44which everyone needs
00:07:45to make waking up
00:07:46on a new night,
00:07:47you guys have to make
00:07:48your normal rouse check
00:07:48and three additional.
00:07:50You will automatically
00:07:52heal a point
00:07:53of aggravated damage
00:07:54but you're making
00:07:54three additional rouse checks
00:07:56because you might
00:07:56get way hungrier
00:07:58doing so.
00:07:58Does that make sense?
00:07:59Okay.
00:08:00Go ahead.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:00What if I'm already
00:08:01at three hunger
00:08:03so that I go to bed?
00:08:05You might frenzy
00:08:07on waking up
00:08:08or potentially not.
00:08:08If there's anything else
00:08:10you would try to do
00:08:10that night
00:08:11before you got back.
00:08:12Do you want to go
00:08:13to the,
00:08:16what were they called?
00:08:18The volunteers?
00:08:20Oh yeah,
00:08:20the blood banks.
00:08:21Oh yeah,
00:08:21you could go and slake
00:08:22two hunger
00:08:22from your guys' herd
00:08:24that night
00:08:25if you wanted to.
00:08:26I could also share
00:08:26some of Todd.
00:08:27Yeah, share some of Todd.
00:08:29So in that case,
00:08:29each of you only gets
00:08:30rid of two hunger blocks
00:08:31doing that.
00:08:32Cool?
00:08:33Great.
00:08:33Cool.
00:08:34How are we doing
00:08:34hunger-wise
00:08:35for everybody else?
00:08:36What's Levante at?
00:08:37I'm at one.
00:08:38Two now.
00:08:38I'm down to one now.
00:08:40Zayt, is it four?
00:08:40Wait, I think I'm at three
00:08:41because I think
00:08:42I got rid of one earlier.
00:08:43Cool.
00:08:43One.
00:08:44One.
00:08:44Okay, gotcha.
00:08:45Zayt's a little bit hungry.
00:08:46So darkness man
00:08:47and bat child,
00:08:47you guys are going to
00:08:48roll your normal
00:08:49rouse check
00:08:49and three additional.
00:08:51Pass the first one.
00:08:53Fail.
00:08:53And then three
00:08:54fucking fails.
00:08:56Full hunger.
00:08:57Five.
00:08:58But you don't roll
00:08:59an additional one
00:08:59past five, do you?
00:09:00Um, no.
00:09:01Okay.
00:09:02I'm back up to three
00:09:03because I failed
00:09:03two of them.
00:09:04So each of you
00:09:05heals one point
00:09:06of aggravated
00:09:07and darkness man,
00:09:09you awaken
00:09:10hungry.
00:09:11You are on the
00:09:12threshold of frenzy
00:09:14on the night
00:09:15that Kosche
00:09:16is supposed to arrive.
00:09:17All right, I got to
00:09:19go to the, uh,
00:09:20our volunteers
00:09:22and drink some blood.
00:09:23How much does that, uh...
00:09:25That gets rid of two.
00:09:27I probably should go
00:09:28as well and try
00:09:29to get rid of two.
00:09:30Should we invite them?
00:09:31Then it's going to be
00:09:31just one from each of you,
00:09:32one hunger level
00:09:33from each of you.
00:09:33Should we invite them
00:09:34to Elysium?
00:09:35We could all drink up there.
00:09:36Because we have three
00:09:37to choose from, right?
00:09:39Four.
00:09:39That could feed us.
00:09:40Because you're kind of
00:09:40coming at a period
00:09:41of downtime the previous night,
00:09:43there are extensions
00:09:44of, like, how much others have,
00:09:46how much it's safe
00:09:47to drink from people.
00:09:48You can also drink
00:09:48more than that
00:09:50if it's, uh,
00:09:52depending on if it's safe
00:09:53or not to do so,
00:09:54but it's about how often
00:09:55you're drinking from people.
00:09:56Look, I'm fine
00:09:57with killing all of them.
00:09:58There are four duds
00:09:59as far as I'm concerned.
00:10:00Oh, we can kill it.
00:10:02Kosche will probably
00:10:03expect to see them
00:10:04in some,
00:10:05because aren't they,
00:10:06he hired them.
00:10:07I think he hired.
00:10:07Does anyone have
00:10:08the herd advantage here
00:10:10or no?
00:10:11My herd advantage
00:10:13is that we have
00:10:14a machine shop.
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16I believe you guys
00:10:16have two dots in herd,
00:10:19which means that
00:10:19you can slake
00:10:20that level of hunger
00:10:21each week.
00:10:22Each week?
00:10:23Yeah.
00:10:24It's hard to get less hungry
00:10:26if you're just taking
00:10:26polite little sips.
00:10:27I'm at three hunger.
00:10:29Okay, same.
00:10:30I'm at three.
00:10:31If I took one,
00:10:32if I got rid of one
00:10:33from the podcast editor,
00:10:35then I'd be at two.
00:10:36Unfortunately,
00:10:37the herd as a whole
00:10:38can only offer
00:10:40two points of hunger slaked.
00:10:42So if you're starting at five,
00:10:43what hunger are you at?
00:10:44I was starting at three.
00:10:46So I can just be at three,
00:10:47I think.
00:10:48All right.
00:10:48And you'll get down
00:10:49to three as well?
00:10:50Yeah.
00:10:50Okay, so three members
00:10:51of your coder here
00:10:52at three hunger.
00:10:53What do you guys do
00:10:54that night knowing
00:10:55you're not exactly sure
00:10:56when Koshay is going
00:10:57to arrive or not?
00:10:58We'll text him
00:10:58the address at Elysium.
00:11:00I'm just having
00:11:01some second thoughts
00:11:01about the candles
00:11:02after last night.
00:11:04Should we tell Tyler
00:11:05to take them all back?
00:11:06They're already burning.
00:11:07You kept the receipt, right?
00:11:08We did all that fight.
00:11:09We did all that
00:11:10with the bear.
00:11:11We got to enjoy
00:11:12our candles.
00:11:12Yeah, nobody's going to do,
00:11:14everyone's going to be
00:11:15incredibly safe,
00:11:16you know?
00:11:17We'll hang out.
00:11:19Tyler got us
00:11:19a Bluetooth speaker.
00:11:20We'll play some fun music.
00:11:22We'll sit around,
00:11:23you know,
00:11:24it'll be real classic
00:11:25Elysium vibes,
00:11:26you know?
00:11:26Levante,
00:11:27you get a text
00:11:27from Maya.
00:11:29Oh.
00:11:29Who says,
00:11:30hey, heading up
00:11:31to the rocks
00:11:32with Cody.
00:11:33Let us know
00:11:34when to expect you guys.
00:11:37We forgot
00:11:38with the whole
00:11:39bear thing
00:11:40to cancel.
00:11:43I'm so hungry.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:45I'm going to be
00:11:46a mess tonight.
00:11:48I'm just warning you guys.
00:11:50I'm angry.
00:11:51I'm sorry.
00:11:51You're so put together
00:11:53all the other time.
00:11:54You're allowed
00:11:55to be human.
00:11:56Thanks, yeah.
00:11:57I feel like you had
00:11:57a really good meeting
00:11:58with Maya before.
00:12:00Right?
00:12:01Uh, yeah.
00:12:02Maybe,
00:12:03and I had a good meeting
00:12:04with Cody.
00:12:04Not as hungry, I guess.
00:12:05Maybe you and me
00:12:06go meet Cody
00:12:07at the rock climbing.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09And then these guys
00:12:10do Elysium.
00:12:11Yeah, I was also thinking
00:12:13if you guys want
00:12:14to get rid of some hunger,
00:12:15there were some
00:12:15really questionable
00:12:16people at the gun range.
00:12:18Oh, yes.
00:12:19He just wanted to.
00:12:20Yes, that guy
00:12:20was very strong.
00:12:22Grab someone.
00:12:22No, not that guy.
00:12:23That guy's my friend,
00:12:24but the rest of the people.
00:12:25The people who shot at?
00:12:27Yeah, the people who shot at.
00:12:28You should kill them.
00:12:28Yeah, throwing guys.
00:12:29Yeah.
00:12:30Okay, four of us
00:12:31go to Elysium.
00:12:31You guys go meet
00:12:33with Maya and Cody
00:12:34at the rocks.
00:12:35We don't want to rain check.
00:12:37I mean, it just feels rude
00:12:38at this point.
00:12:39Yeah, you're right.
00:12:40It feels rude.
00:12:40It's good.
00:12:41We're going to finally
00:12:41end the long-standing war
00:12:44between werewolves
00:12:45and vampires.
00:12:46Yeah.
00:12:46I'll text back Maya.
00:12:48Maya, so sorry.
00:12:51Crazy day at work.

00:13:06back pretty quickly
00:13:06saying,

00:13:44Now that's great.
00:13:45You don't have to be
00:13:46a full matriculating student.

00:13:52You love school.

00:13:59It's everything I always wanted
00:14:00at one point in my life.

00:14:03in the past tense.
00:14:04So, which one you like more?

00:14:15I know, I'm wearing it
00:14:16like an inklet.
00:14:18What?
00:14:19Just kind of twisted and wrapped.
00:14:20Oh, that's so creative.

00:14:34What are we going to tell him
00:14:36about, like...
00:14:36I say we tell him the truth.
00:14:38Tell him the truth.
00:14:38Lying about what?
00:14:39We're doing so good.
00:14:40Well, I don't want to tell him
00:14:41about Cody
00:14:41because he's going to want
00:14:42to kill Cody.
00:14:43And Cody's...
00:14:43Okay, well, that's why
00:14:44we're not going to go meet Cody.
00:14:45Okay.

00:15:50Awesome.
00:15:50Great playlist.
00:15:51You guys head
00:15:52to the lumber mill.
00:15:52Is there any
00:15:54outside indication
00:15:55that the lumber mill
00:15:56is open?
00:15:57No, I don't think so.
00:15:59And it hasn't been, right?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:00I think it's just
00:16:01when you walk in,
00:16:01there's a bunch of
00:16:02red silk
00:16:04kind of strung
00:16:05between two parts
00:16:06and some,
00:16:08you know,
00:16:09delightfully
00:16:09So many candles.
00:16:11Every window
00:16:12is covered with
00:16:12that kind of
00:16:13construction paper
00:16:13when a restaurant
00:16:14is being redone.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:16At around midnight,
00:16:17you guys see that
00:16:18Tyler has spent
00:16:19the entire day
00:16:20red satin
00:16:21hanging from
00:16:22the catwalks,
00:16:23candles everywhere.
00:16:25It can't help.
00:16:26What a firehound.
00:16:27Here's the thing.
00:16:28It cannot help
00:16:29but look striking
00:16:30in here.
00:16:31The only thing
00:16:32is that
00:16:32he's also
00:16:33cleaned up
00:16:34in here
00:16:34so it doesn't
00:16:35they're not like
00:16:36weird dust
00:16:37everywhere.
00:16:37It looks like
00:16:40there's still
00:16:41a little bit
00:16:41of power washer
00:16:42stain on some areas
00:16:44but the dampness
00:16:44kind of even
00:16:45adds a little bit
00:16:46of mystique.
00:16:46It sort of
00:16:47reflects the candlelight.
00:16:48There's so many candles.
00:16:50It smells
00:16:51like cinnamon,
00:16:53nutmeg,
00:16:54coconut,
00:16:56pineapple.
00:16:58Tyler,
00:16:59I said one thing.
00:17:00You see Tyler
00:17:01looks around
00:17:01at you
00:17:02and he goes
00:17:03disrespect Madeline,
00:17:04you're the most
00:17:05beautiful person
00:17:06I've ever seen
00:17:06in my life
00:17:07and I would
00:17:08pull my eyes
00:17:09out of my head
00:17:10to be
00:17:11an entrepreneur.
00:17:14That's the kind
00:17:14of talk I like.
00:17:16Tyler,
00:17:17get the fuck
00:17:17out of here.
00:17:18Okay,
00:17:19if there's
00:17:19something insane
00:17:19happening,
00:17:20I like it
00:17:21and I'll do
00:17:21whatever you say.
00:17:22Hey,
00:17:23man,
00:17:23one day you'll
00:17:24wear the mask,
00:17:25not tonight.
00:17:26One day I'll
00:17:27be skull and bone.
00:17:27Ow,
00:17:28I hurt my hand
00:17:28when I did that.
00:17:29You see he
00:17:29goes and dips
00:17:31out of the hall
00:17:31as fast as he can.
00:17:32You see that he
00:17:33shoots off
00:17:34into the dark.
00:17:34Are there any
00:17:35other preparations
00:17:35you guys make
00:17:36here for Elysium?
00:17:37Beats Pill
00:17:38is playing.
00:17:39I think we just
00:17:40lean into
00:17:41grand opening.
00:17:42I mean,
00:17:43he's going to ask
00:17:43us about Elysium,
00:17:45like who's
00:17:46on the council
00:17:46of Primogen
00:17:47and who's
00:17:47the prince.
00:17:49Yeah.
00:17:49Oh, yeah.
00:17:50This is,
00:17:50we've established
00:17:51this is Elysium.
00:17:52What about
00:17:53the other two?
00:17:53I think Darkness
00:17:54Man should be
00:17:55the prince
00:17:55and it's obvious.
00:17:57I feel like
00:17:58maybe the prince
00:17:58has some kind
00:17:59of levels
00:18:00in charisma
00:18:01and politics.
00:18:02I think the prince
00:18:02should,
00:18:03maybe not.
00:18:04Maybe
00:18:04hopsicord.
00:18:05You guys are
00:18:05having this
00:18:06conversation
00:18:06as a black
00:18:08town car
00:18:08rolls up
00:18:09outside.
00:18:10Okay,
00:18:10let's,
00:18:11maybe he can
00:18:12pick.
00:18:13Maybe it'll be
00:18:13a fun thing
00:18:14for him.
00:18:14Oh,
00:18:14we could tell him
00:18:15that he's the prince.
00:18:16Oh,
00:18:16we'll tell him
00:18:17he's the prince.
00:18:17But then he was
00:18:19hanging out.
00:18:19He might be,
00:18:21you guys see the
00:18:21doors slide open
00:18:23as you see two
00:18:24black Armani suit
00:18:27wearing security guards
00:18:29pull open the doors,
00:18:30the sort of sliding
00:18:31sort of elephant doors.
00:18:32You see surveillance on.
00:18:34One of them has
00:18:34a small semi-automatic
00:18:36sort of bulging
00:18:37outside of the
00:18:37sort of fancy jacket.
00:18:40And you see
00:18:41Kosche walks in
00:18:42once again,
00:18:43leather vest,
00:18:44exposed,
00:18:45broad brawny shoulders,
00:18:46a bunch of old
00:18:47Soviet tattoos
00:18:48on his body
00:18:49and Ermin Damonescu
00:18:51walks in behind him.
00:18:52He walks in
00:18:53looking at all the candles.
00:18:56You're welcome
00:18:57a sweet fire.
00:18:59Well,
00:19:00it's been a dangerous
00:19:02time in Purpi
00:19:03and we thought
00:19:05it was a fun
00:19:06thematic
00:19:07kind of
00:19:08it's part of our journey
00:19:10and it's part
00:19:11of our Elysium.
00:19:13Well,
00:19:14it is good to see
00:19:15this
00:19:16you have
00:19:19spent your time
00:19:20well here
00:19:21in Purpi.
00:19:22Yes.
00:19:23So you're going to stay
00:19:24or just leave?
00:19:26Ermin turns to you
00:19:27and says,
00:19:29first thing you see.
00:19:33You see,
00:19:34we're doing well.
00:19:35Kosche sits
00:19:36on the edge
00:19:37of a table.
00:19:38Ermin looks around
00:19:39and says,
00:19:40do you have chairs
00:19:40in this place?
00:19:42No,
00:19:42it's mostly,
00:19:43the expectation
00:19:45is that when
00:19:45we're really up
00:19:46and running
00:19:47it'll be mostly writhing.
00:19:49So,
00:19:49we don't want anything
00:19:50to get in the way of them.
00:19:51She stands and says,
00:19:53tell me about
00:19:53what you've accomplished
00:19:54thus far in Purpi.
00:19:56Where to begin?
00:19:58So much,
00:19:59so many.
00:20:00First of all,
00:20:01we think Nancy Danderthoff
00:20:02is a shoe-in
00:20:03for the Pulitzer.
00:20:04So,
00:20:05there was
00:20:06some
00:20:07Inquisition hopefuls
00:20:08that were trying
00:20:09to hunt vampires here.
00:20:10Took care of that.
00:20:13without raising
00:20:14any suspicion.
00:20:17There's,
00:20:18we're meeting
00:20:18with some mages.
00:20:19You look very badly burned.
00:20:20Yeah.
00:20:21Oh, yeah.
00:20:22You look very badly burned.
00:20:24I am very badly burned.
00:20:26You look not badly burned.
00:20:28What's this energy?
00:20:29What's,
00:20:30what's this energy?
00:20:31That's your help.
00:20:32I'm mouthing off.
00:20:34Stop.
00:20:35Why are you
00:20:35coming?
00:20:35You just say
00:20:36that you're mouthing off.
00:20:38It was a horror festival.
00:20:39We take that over.
00:20:40We will do that.
00:20:42Yeah, we'll do that.
00:20:43There's a horror festival.
00:20:44We basically control
00:20:44the aristocracy.
00:20:46There's a horror festival
00:20:47coming up.
00:20:48We're all in with that.
00:20:50We're about to meet
00:20:51with some powerful mages.
00:20:53We have a,
00:20:54Powerful mages?
00:20:55Very powerful mages.
00:20:56Oh, yes.
00:20:57What, what methods
00:20:58have you taken
00:20:58to subdue these mages?
00:21:00It's kind of,
00:21:01we punted a meeting.
00:21:04It said embrace
00:21:05or destroy
00:21:06any mortal mages
00:21:07and we were
00:21:08trying to decide
00:21:09whether we were
00:21:10going to embrace
00:21:11or destroy them.
00:21:12That's what the meeting
00:21:12was about.
00:21:13Exactly.
00:21:13We're going to give them
00:21:14an ultimatum.
00:21:15And I took care
00:21:16of a leprechaun
00:21:16real good.
00:21:18See, Ermin goes,
00:21:19what?
00:21:20That's not real.
00:21:21You need a leprechaun.
00:21:22A leprechaun.
00:21:23She had one shoe
00:21:24in a bush.
00:21:25And they had sex
00:21:26in a dirty,
00:21:27next to a single shoe.
00:21:29She had to be
00:21:30a real leprechaun
00:21:31or she just fucked
00:21:31sort of a short woman
00:21:32in a bush.
00:21:35Come on now.
00:21:36Did you know
00:21:36there's a battle
00:21:37between the leprechauns
00:21:38and the bad guys?
00:21:38You see the Ermin
00:21:38and Koshy look
00:21:39at each other
00:21:39and Koshy says,
00:21:40I took care of it.
00:21:41Okay, so we fuck
00:21:42a short girl
00:21:43in a bush.
00:21:44No, she spin around
00:21:46and gold coins
00:21:46come out of her hands.
00:21:47Come on.
00:21:48Corrupt the clergy,
00:21:49going to be a slam dunk.
00:21:50We just got to do it.
00:21:51Yeah.
00:21:53Command the flow of money
00:21:54is coming up,
00:21:55honestly.
00:21:55Oh, it's coming up.
00:21:56We've got to dominate
00:21:57all cultural forces.
00:21:58Oh, we did that.
00:21:58We have done that.
00:21:59We have.
00:21:59We've influenced someone.
00:22:01We have a puppet
00:22:02that is going to be running
00:22:04for local government soon.
00:22:06What have you done
00:22:07in terms of local government?
00:22:08I mean,
00:22:11massive plowing
00:22:11of the fields
00:22:12and lots of seating.
00:22:14I mean,
00:22:14of course,
00:22:16time is,
00:22:17you know,
00:22:17is always going
00:22:18to be a factor.
00:22:19One of the main patriarchs
00:22:20has been taken down.
00:22:22Yes.
00:22:22Murdered.
00:22:23Destroyed.
00:22:24See, she looks at him
00:22:25and says,
00:22:25what do you mean
00:22:26taken down?
00:22:27He was killed
00:22:28in a bathtub
00:22:29and we had nothing
00:22:30to do with it.
00:22:31And that opened up
00:22:33a seat
00:22:33and then Sasquatch
00:22:35ran back into it.
00:22:37What part of control
00:22:38the aristocracy
00:22:40is unclear here?
00:22:42Why are aristocracy...
00:22:43I had questions
00:22:43about that.
00:22:45You see,
00:22:45Kosche nods to you
00:22:46and says,
00:22:48this plowing of field
00:22:49you're talking about.
00:22:50Of course.
00:22:51You are set up here
00:22:53to do what?
00:22:54Have you isolated
00:22:55who is the movers
00:22:56and shakers?
00:22:57Very much so.
00:22:58Yes.
00:22:59Who they are?
00:23:00The Whitacre family
00:23:01and the Douglas family.
00:23:03The Douglases.
00:23:03And we're digging up
00:23:04dirt on them.
00:23:05We think we're going
00:23:06to win the next election
00:23:08in the landslide.
00:23:09For sure.
00:23:10What do you mean
00:23:10you're going to win
00:23:11the next election?
00:23:12Well, we have
00:23:12a puppet candidate.
00:23:14She run a moderately tasteful...
00:23:16Elevated casual.
00:23:17Kosche sort of hangs his head
00:23:19for a second.
00:23:19You see that Ermin says,
00:23:22why are you running...
00:23:24Why are you running a candidate?
00:23:26You said that you were
00:23:27plowing fields.
00:23:28What inroads have you made
00:23:29with the Whitacres
00:23:30and the Douglases?
00:23:31Well, I'm fucking
00:23:32one of the Whitacres.
00:23:34So?
00:23:35All right.
00:23:35Madelaine seems to be doing
00:23:36a lot of the heavy...
00:23:38Thank you!
00:23:40I think you should let me
00:23:41get out of here
00:23:42because I'm doing
00:23:43all the work.
00:23:44She looks and says,
00:23:45well, that's part of
00:23:46what we are discussing here
00:23:49is there is an opportunity
00:23:51for some of you
00:23:52to maybe be relieved
00:23:53of this.
00:23:57No, no.
00:23:58We'll talk...
00:23:58What are you talking about?
00:24:00What are you talking about?
00:24:01What?
00:24:01Are you serious?
00:24:02We don't have to be here anymore?
00:24:04Yeah, some of us.
00:24:06Which ones?
00:24:07Probably the ones
00:24:07that are fucking everybody
00:24:08and doing all the work.
00:24:09Describe to me your plan
00:24:09to control the aristocracy
00:24:11and master the engines of state.
00:24:12We're going to get
00:24:12the dog on our side.
00:24:14We have the dog.
00:24:15Okay, you have to understand,
00:24:16Purpy is not normal.
00:24:20This town that you sent us to
00:24:22is filled with ghosts
00:24:25and fucking squeaky bears
00:24:28and a Bigfoot
00:24:30and a Smiling Nixon.
00:24:31All right?
00:24:31This is a shit sandwich
00:24:34and I am eating it
00:24:35as fast as I fucking can.
00:24:38All right?
00:24:38I am taking bites
00:24:40of the shit sandwich
00:24:42and every bite
00:24:44I'm saying,
00:24:45mm-mm, good.
00:24:46I have yet to say
00:24:48the shit sandwich is bad.
00:24:50Am I yelling?
00:24:51Okay?
00:24:52I just don't...
00:24:53We're down to the crust
00:24:54and the crust
00:24:55is a fully erect lumberjack
00:24:57on an altar.
00:24:58So you got to work with us here.
00:25:00We're so close, okay?
00:25:03And I bet, honestly,
00:25:06a couple of us leave
00:25:07and the rest of us
00:25:09could handle it.
00:25:10You see that Ermin says,
00:25:12you seem not at your best.
00:25:13Perhaps we didn't give you
00:25:15enough time to prepare.
00:25:18But I'd like to know
00:25:20as much about this mortal mage
00:25:22as you'd care to tell me.
00:25:24Well, he's uncut.
00:25:25Whoa.
00:25:27How do you know that?
00:25:29Which one?
00:25:29He only wears shorts.
00:25:31Oh, the...
00:25:32Oh, no, the Maya.
00:25:34Oh, I don't know anything about her.
00:25:36I've actually not really met her.
00:25:38There's a lot of magic happening here.
00:25:40There's a lot of...
00:25:40There's like maybe good mages
00:25:42and bad mages?
00:25:42The two major families,
00:25:45the Whitakers and the Douglases.
00:25:47Major.
00:25:47The two maging families.
00:25:49Sorry.
00:25:50Something is going on
00:25:51magically with them.
00:25:52And then I tell them
00:25:52everything that we know
00:25:53about the Douglases' farm
00:25:54and the altar and...
00:25:56I don't know.
00:25:57What is it?
00:25:57Like warlock.
00:25:58Erect.
00:25:59Of a fully erect.
00:26:01Yes, he's all.
00:26:01Cut, uncut.
00:26:02At that point,
00:26:03you're not sure.
00:26:03And those are the destroy mages,
00:26:05we would say.
00:26:06And then the embrace mages
00:26:07are the ones we're gonna
00:26:08have a meeting with.
00:26:09Very chill.
00:26:09Run the call.
00:26:10Yeah, then we ended up punting.
00:26:11You look at Ermin.
00:26:12She says,
00:26:13understood.
00:26:14I want to be very clear.
00:26:17You were sent here
00:26:19to establish Camarilla dominance
00:26:21in the town of Perpee, Oregon.
00:26:24I see that this has created
00:26:26some stress.
00:26:28For our purposes,
00:26:30it just seems like
00:26:31we're once again
00:26:32having a repeat
00:26:33of the red iron building
00:26:36party a couple months ago.
00:26:38The Banksy.
00:26:40The Banksy.
00:26:41We didn't run a Banksy again.
00:26:43We wouldn't do that twice.
00:26:45That would be stupid.
00:26:46Ermin takes out a phone
00:26:47and goes,
00:26:49Notable artist Banksy
00:26:50has kidnapped
00:26:51two independent publishers
00:26:52from the town
00:26:53of Perpee, Oregon.
00:26:54Well, he's a killer
00:26:55and he'll strike again,
00:26:56but that has nothing
00:26:57to do with us.
00:26:58And he didn't kidnap him.
00:26:59He decapitated them.
00:27:00This says that the head
00:27:02was a fake
00:27:03and that someone demanded
00:27:04to meet Banksy
00:27:05to ask how he pulled it off.
00:27:07And then someone went,
00:27:08Oh, oh, he.
00:27:09That's a man.
00:27:12That's bad journalism.
00:27:15AI written.
00:27:16Probably AI written.
00:27:17I just want
00:27:18to be clear here.
00:27:21I come up here
00:27:22and I hear that there's
00:27:23one of the elders
00:27:24of the town
00:27:25who's been killed
00:27:26or drowned.
00:27:28My question to you,
00:27:29H.J.,
00:27:30as one of the older
00:27:31kindred amongst us here,
00:27:33is having isolated
00:27:35who's in charge
00:27:35of the town,
00:27:36why are they being killed?
00:27:39Why are they not
00:27:40being corrupted?
00:27:41Why are they not
00:27:42being overcome?
00:27:45You know,
00:27:46you've isolated
00:27:46the families in town
00:27:47that control everything
00:27:48and you're not
00:27:48manipulating these families?
00:27:50Why?
00:27:51They were unmanipulatable,
00:27:54we decided.
00:27:54They were too stuck
00:27:56in whatever
00:27:57their agenda was.
00:27:58So it was good
00:27:59that the eldest died.
00:28:00It shakes up
00:28:01the family a little bit.
00:28:02We can control
00:28:02the family again.
00:28:03Shaking up is not
00:28:04what we're here to do.
00:28:06Shaking up
00:28:07is never
00:28:08what we are here to do.
00:28:10We live forever,
00:28:12steady as she goes,
00:28:14you nincompoops.
00:28:16Don't you fucking
00:28:17call me a nincompoop,
00:28:19you bitch.
00:28:22I'm gonna need
00:28:24a willpower roll
00:28:26from Levante
00:28:31and anyone else
00:28:32that feels like
00:28:33they're on the wire.
00:28:36On the wire
00:28:37in terms of how close
00:28:38to frenzy
00:28:39you might be.
00:28:40This is the closest
00:28:41I've been to frenzy.
00:28:42I'm pretty indifferent
00:28:43because this is all
00:28:44vampire shit.
00:28:47This is kind of melted.
00:28:50Just vampires.
00:28:52Can't relate.
00:28:53Three successes.
00:28:54Three successes.
00:28:55Two.
00:28:55Two successes.
00:28:56Three.
00:28:57Three.
00:28:57You see that
00:28:59Kosche lunges
00:29:00towards you,
00:29:01reaches a hand out
00:29:02and grabs at the air
00:29:04around Ermin
00:29:05who has just
00:29:06appeared
00:29:07rushing towards you
00:29:08in a flash
00:29:09of blood and smoke.
00:29:11Kosche,
00:29:11call me a name again
00:29:13and I'll drag you
00:29:14somewhere that the sun
00:29:15can't find you.
00:29:16Yeah,
00:29:17take me there.
00:29:18Hey,
00:29:19I'm already fucking there.
00:29:20I'm already fucking there.
00:29:21The place you're talking about
00:29:23it's called
00:29:23Perpy Fuckin' Ore again.
00:29:25Kosche says,
00:29:26temper, temper.
00:29:28All will be well.
00:29:30Ermin,
00:29:31why don't you go speak
00:29:32to Madeline
00:29:33about this mortal mage
00:29:34who is uncircumcised
00:29:36outside?
00:29:37I'll describe everything
00:29:38in detail.
00:29:41Thank you,
00:29:43Miss D'Artois.
00:29:44And you see that
00:29:44she walks outside with you.
00:29:46Kosche looks at you
00:29:47and goes,
00:29:49talk to a primogen
00:29:51like that.
00:29:52You're gonna get destroyed.
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:54Don't wanna see it.
00:29:56Who here is Prince?
00:29:57You are.
00:29:58What?
00:30:00We just thought that maybe
00:30:02if you wanted to be
00:30:02the Prince,
00:30:04just because,
00:30:04I'm like,

00:31:35we cleared the runway
00:31:36to really make
00:31:37a lot of successes.
00:31:39Yeah.
00:31:39The thing is,
00:31:39is that Perpee,
00:31:41it has potential
00:31:42and if we do
00:31:44just corrupt
00:31:44the Whitakers
00:31:45and the Douglases,
00:31:46they're already corrupt.
00:31:47The town
00:31:48is just gonna die
00:31:49and there's not gonna be able,
00:31:51Who's given?

00:31:54If we do!
00:31:55We can't have Elysium here
00:31:56if it sucks.
00:31:57Exactly!
00:31:57We can't have,
00:31:58what,
00:31:59to be in charge of
00:32:00Perpee?
00:32:01Just Perpee?
00:32:02No,
00:32:03no,
00:32:04no.
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:05Perpee will be more.
00:32:07Perpee will be
00:32:08San Francisco.
00:32:09Yes.
00:32:10Then,
00:32:10once it's done being
00:32:11San Francisco,
00:32:11it'll be New York.
00:32:12Once it's done being New York,
00:32:13it will be
00:32:14goddamn Rome.
00:32:16Yes.
00:32:16And let me tell you,
00:32:17just controlling a Whitaker
00:32:18does not get you
00:32:19to fucking Rome,
00:32:20it gets you to be the king
00:32:21of fucking Perpee,
00:32:22which you tried to make me,
00:32:24but you're not
00:32:25going to win!
00:32:26You're not
00:32:27going to win!
00:32:29I pull him to the side,
00:32:30we really appreciate you
00:32:31being on our side,
00:32:32but look,
00:32:32tensions are high,
00:32:34we don't want to have
00:32:34Elysium in a ghost town.
00:32:37I'm not normal.
00:32:39No,
00:32:39I don't breathe anymore.
00:32:41Have a little snooze packet
00:32:43and I flick one in your mouth.
00:32:45Do you know a gumbaroo?
00:32:47Never mind.
00:32:48Look,
00:32:48we're working on it.
00:32:49I can't believe how much
00:32:50made up sounding bullshit
00:32:51there is.
00:32:52Smiling Nixon.
00:32:55His big,
00:32:56loud smile.
00:32:57Why did I see this?
00:32:59I get,
00:32:59I look at,
00:33:00before we travel to town,
00:33:02I get this,
00:33:02he shows his phone
00:33:03and there's a wanted picture
00:33:04of someone.
00:33:08You looking over
00:33:09your shoulder
00:33:10on a scooter,
00:33:11just going over
00:33:15into the river.
00:33:17That's how good I look?
00:33:22Outside,
00:33:23Irving turns to you,
00:33:24Madelaine.
00:33:24Yes,
00:33:24oh my god,
00:33:25I miss you.
00:33:26Don't.
00:33:27You look cute, though.
00:33:29Look,
00:33:30I need you to do
00:33:31something for me.
00:33:32What?
00:33:32Anything,
00:33:33always,
00:33:34for you,
00:33:34always.
00:33:35You,
00:33:35this was a storks
00:33:37and cranes situation.
00:33:38You got swept up
00:33:39with some bad choices
00:33:41of who you associated with.
00:33:43The other people
00:33:43and I didn't do anything.
00:33:45You finally realize.
00:33:46There is something
00:33:47I need from you.
00:33:49Okay.
00:33:50I need a deal
00:33:51in Perpi
00:33:52to go through
00:33:52and you owe me one.
00:33:54I do
00:33:55and then the deal
00:33:56will go through
00:33:57and then I won't owe you one.
00:33:59I need
00:34:01the land
00:34:02around the Caroline Vine Trailhead
00:34:03to be part
00:34:05of the deal
00:34:06that the Whitakers
00:34:06make
00:34:07when they sell
00:34:08to Beholder.
00:34:10We need that data center
00:34:11open.
00:34:12You want,
00:34:13you want the data center?
00:34:15Yes, I do.
00:34:15That's you.
00:34:17There's wheels
00:34:18within wheels,
00:34:19Madelaine.
00:34:20You're here
00:34:21as punishment
00:34:22because of your association
00:34:23with the rest
00:34:24of your coterie,
00:34:25but you might
00:34:26also be here
00:34:27for other reasons.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:29Maybe
00:34:31you could come back
00:34:32to a place
00:34:33like San Francisco
00:34:34if you so desired.
00:34:36I do desire.
00:34:38And all they gotta have
00:34:39is
00:34:41just a piece of land
00:34:42with some water
00:34:42on it
00:34:42to the data center.
00:34:44We need the data center
00:34:44to open.
00:34:45Okay.
00:34:46Well,
00:34:46we didn't buy
00:34:47the data center
00:34:48so I don't think
00:34:48anybody would care about it.
00:34:50You said you
00:34:51are fucking
00:34:51one of the Whitakers.
00:34:53Make sure
00:34:54doing whatever
00:34:55you need to do
00:34:56to get
00:34:57that sold
00:34:59to Beholder,
00:35:00the data center
00:35:00and the land
00:35:01around the trailhead.
00:35:02You know,
00:35:03his dad is about
00:35:03to get really
00:35:04hard canceled
00:35:06so they'll probably
00:35:07need some money
00:35:08pretty quick.
00:35:09Why is he about
00:35:09to get hard canceled?
00:35:10Oh,
00:35:10we haven't quite
00:35:11done it yet
00:35:12but probably
00:35:12some really bad shit.
00:35:15Hold off on that.
00:35:16Why?
00:35:17Because
00:35:18we need the Whitakers
00:35:19because
00:35:19But there's so many
00:35:20Whitakers
00:35:20I can't cancel
00:35:21one of them?
00:35:22No.
00:35:22We need the family
00:35:23to be in good standing
00:35:23so that the deal
00:35:25can go through.
00:35:26But this is really
00:35:27a part of our election
00:35:28plan
00:35:30for him to get
00:35:30hard.
00:35:31Elections are fake.
00:35:33Just corrupt
00:35:33whoever wins.
00:35:35And you see
00:35:35that she turns
00:35:36and walks off
00:35:38towards the town car.
00:35:39Your ass looks good.
00:35:41I know.
00:35:42And you see
00:35:42she steps
00:35:43into the town car.
00:35:45Kosche wheels around
00:35:46and says,
00:35:47You've heard
00:35:48what you need to hear.
00:35:49I think.
00:35:50Look,
00:35:50you've only been here
00:35:51for a few months
00:35:52the blink of an eye
00:35:53in an immortal lifetime.
00:35:55Just stop trying
00:35:56to rock the boat,
00:35:57huh?
00:35:58Kosche turns to
00:35:59if he looks at you
00:35:59Zayth and says,
00:36:01My child,
00:36:02I would speak with you
00:36:02before we leave.
00:36:04I gotta go talk
00:36:04to my dad.
00:36:06What?
00:36:06Is he your real dad?
00:36:08No,
00:36:08he turned me.
00:36:09Oh,
00:36:10okay,
00:36:10like,
00:36:10turned you there.
00:36:11He looks to you
00:36:12and says,
00:36:13To the,
00:36:14the,
00:36:15the fucking,
00:36:16um,
00:36:19comic book ones.
00:36:21Yeah?
00:36:22Why they are burnt
00:36:23for real?
00:36:24We are not even lying.
00:36:26The gumbaroo
00:36:27that was,
00:36:28Come on, man.
00:36:29Do you know
00:36:29what a gumbaroo is?
00:36:30I didn't know it.
00:36:31I don't want to know
00:36:32what a fucking gumbaroo is.
00:36:33Naked ass bear
00:36:35spits out fire,
00:36:37allergic to fire.
00:36:38No.
00:36:39Yeah.
00:36:39That doesn't make sense.
00:36:41Firepower mean
00:36:42you immune to fire.
00:36:43It's basic Pokemon rule.
00:36:45It defies the Pokemon rule.
00:36:48The place is fucked.
00:36:49It is.
00:36:51Zayth,
00:36:52you hold yourself,
00:36:54your head tall.
00:36:57I think perhaps
00:36:58in a place like San Francisco,
00:37:01where all the wheels
00:37:03are already in motion,
00:37:04there is nothing for you,
00:37:05but you have found
00:37:06a real fucking mess here,
00:37:09and I see you
00:37:10keeping your head above water.
00:37:12You did not pop off
00:37:13or say some dumb shit
00:37:14one time in that meeting.
00:37:16That's crazy progress.
00:37:19I really wanted
00:37:20to roundhouse kick
00:37:20someone in the head.
00:37:23And it could have been anyone.
00:37:26But you didn't.
00:37:27I tried to roundhouse kick him.
00:37:29He grabs your foot
00:37:30and says,
00:37:31nice trying.
00:37:32I telegraphed it.
00:37:35What's this horse?
00:37:37It's course.
00:37:38I was caught.
00:37:39So,
00:37:40a lot of my head
00:37:41being held up
00:37:42above the water
00:37:43was because I'm riding
00:37:44Gorse through the stream.
00:37:49Gorse,
00:37:49show him your teeth.
00:37:50Whoa!
00:37:53But,
00:37:54but he's not a vampire, right?
00:37:56Not really.
00:37:57He ate the shit
00:37:58out of another horse, though.
00:38:00Look,
00:38:01I'm figuring it out
00:38:02in my own way, okay?
00:38:04I don't know how to do it
00:38:05any other way.
00:38:06But I,
00:38:08I guess in some way
00:38:09I believe in this town
00:38:10and I believe in these people
00:38:12and I think we're gonna,
00:38:13we're gonna,
00:38:14we're gonna figure it all out.
00:38:16You believe in these people
00:38:18like,
00:38:19who,
00:38:20your coterie mates?
00:38:21Yeah.
00:38:23Well,
00:38:24the comic book ones
00:38:27frighten and confuse me.
00:38:29Why a man would be
00:38:30that muscular
00:38:31and that down on himself
00:38:33and self-conscious,
00:38:33I don't understand.
00:38:36He can turn into trash.
00:38:39That is like a,
00:38:40hey,
00:38:41this is a red flag.
00:38:42By the way.
00:38:42Your magic power manifest
00:38:43has become trash.
00:38:45He's not really a pervert.
00:38:47We just say that to him
00:38:50just to make him feel weird.
00:38:53You guys are jokers.
00:38:56The little child
00:38:57still does not know
00:38:58she vampire?
00:39:00She's working on it.
00:39:01She thinks she's half bad.
00:39:03Why?
00:39:03Which is very similar.
00:39:04H.J. was a very serious
00:39:06vampire in San Francisco.
00:39:07His pupils so dilated.
00:39:10Why?
00:39:11That I can't really even see.
00:39:14I can't even begin
00:39:15to tell you.
00:39:15But we're gonna have a,
00:39:17we'll talk.
00:39:17We'll figure it out.
00:39:18Look.
00:39:19Don't trouble
00:39:20with embracing mage.
00:39:22Better to just destroy.
00:39:24Very tricky.
00:39:25Okay?
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:27I am rooting for you,
00:39:28my child.
00:39:30Levante,
00:39:31this has broken
00:39:32something in him.
00:39:34He is a big liability.
00:39:36Why do you not
00:39:37want to be prince?
00:39:38It just,
00:39:39it feels like
00:39:40a lot of responsibility
00:39:41in a way that
00:39:43I'm just starting to learn
00:39:44how to be responsible
00:39:45in a way
00:39:46I have like a to-do list
00:39:48right now
00:39:48it just says
00:39:49Tina Bunders,
00:39:50but
00:39:53I can,
00:39:53I can,
00:39:54I can wrap my head
00:39:55around it.
00:39:55these glorious
00:39:57revolutions
00:39:59come and go.
00:40:01And life stays
00:40:03shit.
00:40:05Unlife
00:40:05stays
00:40:06shit.
00:40:08The wheel
00:40:09it crushes
00:40:10is what it does.
00:40:12Your job,
00:40:14Zayt,
00:40:14is to stay on top
00:40:16of the wheel.
00:40:17That's all.
00:40:18What if you want
00:40:19to really like
00:40:20the wheel?
00:40:21What?
00:40:22What if you're
00:40:23trying to stay
00:40:24on top of the wheel
00:40:25while kind of
00:40:26decorating the wheel
00:40:28and getting your buds
00:40:29on the wheel
00:40:30to run with you
00:40:32at the same pace
00:40:34and do pop a little
00:40:36wheelie here and there
00:40:38for style?
00:40:40Just
00:40:41be careful.
00:40:43And
00:40:44these
00:40:46ghosts here,
00:40:47there are any
00:40:47other spirits
00:40:48you are aware of
00:40:49or no?
00:40:50I told you about
00:40:51the naked bear.
00:40:52Um,
00:40:55kind of a
00:40:55Bigfoot situation
00:40:56that was brought up.
00:40:58Uh,
00:40:59I don't know.
00:41:00It just seemed like
00:41:00there's a lot of
00:41:01weird stuff here.
00:41:03We're figuring it out.
00:41:04All right.
00:41:05I will stay nearby.
00:41:06I come check more often.
00:41:07Okay?
00:41:08Before you go,
00:41:10it's the little
00:41:11superhero's birthday.
00:41:14And I think
00:41:15it would mean a lot
00:41:15to them if you
00:41:18gave them a present.
00:41:21I think for morale.
00:41:23They got so burned
00:41:25yesterday.
00:41:25They're coming into
00:41:26their birthday
00:41:26kind of sick.
00:41:27It just sucks.
00:41:30He walks back in
00:41:31with all of you.
00:41:33Levante,
00:41:34question for you.

00:42:10uh,
00:42:10new hot princeless town.
00:42:12America's got vampire prince.
00:42:13Yeah, exactly.
00:42:14So you're going to have
00:42:14zero taxes of any kind.
00:42:16Yeah.
00:42:17I've definitely
00:42:18sent out feelers.
00:42:19Hell yeah.
00:42:20Kosche walks back in,
00:42:21getting ready to leave.
00:42:22He says,
00:42:24Vesper.
00:42:26Yes.
00:42:27Ch-ch-ch.
00:42:29Oh, my God.
00:42:30Happy birthday.
00:42:32I'm cute.
00:42:33I shoot the ground.
00:42:35Ho!
00:42:36Come on!
00:42:37Wait for me to leave.
00:42:39There's a gun range.
00:42:40I can see it.
00:42:42Okay.
00:42:44It smells stolen, too.
00:42:46Yeah,
00:42:47it's the serial numbers
00:42:48filed off.
00:42:49You can get them.
00:42:50A good way
00:42:50to get a hot gun
00:42:52is to make some connections
00:42:54with black market,
00:42:55sort of take things carefully,
00:42:57piece by piece,
00:42:58throw them over time,
00:42:59make these inroads.
00:43:01You know?
00:43:03It's,
00:43:04I would say,
00:43:05in the United States of America,
00:43:06to get illegal gun,
00:43:07probably the easiest
00:43:08it has ever been
00:43:10in all of human history.
00:43:13Tomato tomorrow.
00:43:15Which one is tomato,
00:43:16which one is tomato?
00:43:16You can walk right
00:43:17into the precinct
00:43:18and go right
00:43:19into the good closet.
00:43:20The good closet?
00:43:21If you're fast enough.
00:43:23Thank you so much
00:43:24for coming, Kosche.
00:43:25So much for coming.
00:43:26Remember this.
00:43:27The names,
00:43:28yes,
00:43:28and pick a prince.
00:43:30Next time I am here,
00:43:31one of you is prince.
00:43:32Okay?
00:43:32Yes?
00:43:33Okay.
00:43:33And there is,
00:43:34and remember,
00:43:35we don't want to shake.
00:43:37We want to control.
00:43:38And you see that he
00:43:39walks out,
00:43:40leaving all here.
00:43:41Ermin takes one last look
00:43:42at you,
00:43:43Madeline,
00:43:44and from the car
00:43:45as she drives off.
00:43:50The car takes off.
00:43:51And close with.
00:43:52Did I call that woman a bitch?
00:43:53You did, yeah.
00:43:54Wow, I fully left my body.
00:43:56That's okay.
00:43:56I was floated over my body
00:43:58watching me.
00:43:59And look,
00:44:00she is a bitch,
00:44:01but also I owe her so much.
00:44:03Why do you owe her again?
00:44:04Don't worry about it.
00:44:05You get a text
00:44:06from Maya
00:44:08saying,
00:44:09hey,
00:44:10we ended up
00:44:10at Mama Angie's
00:44:11after a little night hike.
00:44:13If you guys are still around,
00:44:14otherwise,
00:44:15no worries.
00:44:16We can always rain check.
00:44:17Let's do it.
00:44:18The mages
00:44:19and the werewolves
00:44:21are kind of cooler
00:44:22than our bosses.
00:44:24I was going to say,
00:44:25like,
00:44:25I think I have
00:44:26a privileged position
00:44:27because I'm not a vampire,
00:44:28but watching you guys
00:44:29all grovel,
00:44:30it just felt like
00:44:30it was beneath all of you.
00:44:32Why do you suck up
00:44:33to these people so much?
00:44:35I was sitting there thinking,
00:44:36what am I even getting
00:44:37from this interaction?
00:44:38They have no idea
00:44:39what we've seen here.
00:44:41That this,
00:44:41that this,
00:44:42this whole town
00:44:43is about to blow away
00:44:46completely off the face
00:44:47of the map.
00:44:48It's dying.
00:44:49We're going to be
00:44:50hosting Elysium
00:44:52in a ghost town
00:44:53with nobody around
00:44:54if we take their advice.
00:44:55They just want to sell
00:44:55this place for parts.
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:57Yeah.
00:44:57And we are,
00:44:58we are not those kind of people.
00:45:00We are flippers.
00:45:02Are you hoping
00:45:03to prove them wrong
00:45:05by showing that
00:45:06your system works better?
00:45:08Yes.
00:45:08I want.
00:45:08We will revitalize
00:45:10this town.
00:45:11But I don't think
00:45:11that's what they want.
00:45:12I think if it came to them
00:45:14with a revitalized town,
00:45:15they would say
00:45:15this isn't what we have.
00:45:16It's not what they want.
00:45:17They want to punish us.
00:45:18They want to make us
00:45:19in charge
00:45:19of a,
00:45:20of a,
00:45:21of a bad town
00:45:23with,
00:45:23that is on the way out.
00:45:25And what we are trying
00:45:26to do is do the work
00:45:27to make it a great town,
00:45:28to make it that we are
00:45:29in charge
00:45:29of something special,
00:45:30something unique,
00:45:31something that everybody wants.
00:45:33That's what we're doing.
00:45:34Is there something
00:45:35to trying,
00:45:36at least giving it a shot
00:45:38to befriend the Douglases?
00:45:40The Douglases?
00:45:41See what that would be like.
00:45:42You heard what he was doing.
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:45You want to be that guy's friend?
00:45:46He was trying to fuck
00:45:47a nude bear
00:45:47on a slap.
00:45:48On a slap?
00:45:49And his tongue was
00:45:51longer
00:45:52than his dick.
00:45:53I think he was trying
00:45:54to speak bear.
00:45:56Is that what
00:45:56we can think that was?
00:45:58It's whatever Madelaine
00:45:59interpreted whatever I did as.
00:46:01Don't think so.
00:46:02We did set a big tree on fire
00:46:04and hit their business.
00:46:06Let's go to Angie's.
00:46:08I could pour a Sprite
00:46:09out on the floor.
00:46:10I will say,
00:46:11you know,
00:46:11I am a vampire
00:46:12and like,
00:46:13I fucking hate listening
00:46:14to what people say
00:46:15and what they want us to do.
00:46:17But like,
00:46:17I do think
00:46:18if we don't do it,
00:46:19they possibly
00:46:20might be powerful enough
00:46:21to sort of disembowel
00:46:22all of us
00:46:23and just kind of
00:46:24put us in that middle.
00:46:25I'm wondering
00:46:25if there's a middle ground.
00:46:27We don't have to reinvent
00:46:29the wheel,
00:46:29but we also don't have
00:46:30to do their whole plan.
00:46:32I wonder if we can bond
00:46:34with one of the sides
00:46:35of the family,
00:46:36eradicate the other family.
00:46:37And to your point
00:46:38of the middle ground,
00:46:39I mean,
00:46:39is there some way,
00:46:41I mean,
00:46:41we have this election
00:46:43in the bag
00:46:44if we can just get to it.
00:46:46If we just dander-hoof it,
00:46:48right?
00:46:48Little cherries
00:46:50for Koche Aide.
00:46:51Mm-hmm.
00:46:52Little cherries
00:46:53along the way.
00:46:55All the small stuff
00:46:56that we can do
00:46:57that we can,
00:46:57makes it look like
00:46:58we're doing our work.
00:46:59It's a Black Forest
00:47:00Gato idea.
00:47:02Will you text him
00:47:03nom nom nom?
00:47:04Don't worry,
00:47:05big juicy cherry
00:47:05next time you're here.
00:47:08I feel like we have
00:47:09to take a different tech.
00:47:10Do we want to go
00:47:10to Mama Angie's
00:47:11or not?
00:47:12Yes.
00:47:12Yes.
00:47:13Before we go there,
00:47:14I do think we should
00:47:14get on the same page
00:47:15because I think
00:47:16they want,
00:47:17there's kind of no,
00:47:19they want the opposite
00:47:20of what we want.
00:47:22So,
00:47:23my vote.
00:47:23What do they want?
00:47:24We don't even know.
00:47:25You're talking about-
00:47:25I'm talking about the-
00:47:26They want status quo.
00:47:27You're talking about Koche.
00:47:28I'm talking about Koche.
00:47:29Oh, Koche, yeah.
00:47:29I'm saying
00:47:31they very well
00:47:33may try to kill us
00:47:34at some point.
00:47:35But for now,
00:47:36all they're doing
00:47:36is lightly threatening us.
00:47:39I say we keep
00:47:40plowing forward
00:47:41with what we're doing
00:47:42and if they want
00:47:43to show their fangs,
00:47:44we'll figure that out
00:47:46when we get there.
00:47:46Fuck yeah, bitch.
00:47:47Fuck yeah.
00:47:48I say we keep going.
00:47:49I say we keep going.
00:47:50They love obedience,
00:47:51but they love blood
00:47:52and money more.
00:47:54And we can give them that.
00:47:55Time to pop some wheelies.
00:47:56I mean, plus,
00:47:58we're vampires.
00:47:59Minus bad child,
00:48:01you know?
00:48:01We're already dead.
00:48:02You know what?
00:48:04I guess time
00:48:04that I admit something.
00:48:05What?
00:48:06What?
00:48:07I have a portal in my mouth
00:48:08and I don't know where it goes.
00:48:10Oh.
00:48:11And I think I need to start
00:48:13to really sort of
00:48:14look into that.
00:48:15Oh.
00:48:16And figure out
00:48:16where the portal
00:48:17in my mouth goes to.
00:48:18I read a book about this,
00:48:19about becoming a woman
00:48:20and you use a hand mirror.
00:48:23Say hand mirror?
00:48:24In her mouth.
00:48:25You know, literally,
00:48:27you can open up your mouth
00:48:28and use a hand mirror
00:48:29and just really spend
00:48:30some time looking.
00:48:33Okay.
00:48:33Looking into it.
00:48:35Seeing more about yourself.
00:48:37Whatever this man thinks he knows.
00:48:38And that's why
00:48:39I got you this birthday gift.
00:48:42It's the rock
00:48:43but glued onto it
00:48:44is a mirror.
00:48:46Okay.
00:48:49I don't really see much.
00:48:51It's just a portal
00:48:52to the abyss.
00:48:53I'll do it privately.
00:48:55You guys roll over
00:48:57to Mama Angie's.
00:48:58It is two o'clock
00:48:59in the damn morning
00:49:00at Mama Angie's.
00:49:02You see that
00:49:02off in a corner booth,
00:49:04you see Maya,
00:49:05her bicycle's outside
00:49:06and you see another bike outside
00:49:08that seems to belong
00:49:09to Cody.
00:49:10And you see them both
00:49:10waiting for you guys.
00:49:11You see Maya
00:49:12sort of smiles
00:49:14at all of these guys
00:49:15walk in and says,
00:49:15hey, good to see
00:49:17the whole gang.
00:49:17You see that Cody
00:49:18sort of smiles and nods.
00:49:19Is Maya's partner here?
00:49:21Maya's partner is not here.
00:49:23Maya looks at you guys
00:49:24as you walk in and says,
00:49:27hey, thanks for coming out.
00:49:28No worries
00:49:29if we need to reschedule
00:49:30or if tonight's
00:49:30a bad night for you.
00:49:31We've had a wild night
00:49:32but you're exactly
00:49:33who we want to talk to.
00:49:34Jesus Christ.
00:49:35Are you guys okay?
00:49:36Yeah, we were doing
00:49:37that thing where you spray
00:49:39perfume at a candle
00:49:41and it got really out of hand.
00:49:43That's why we smell
00:49:44a lot of tropical Christmas.
00:49:45Yeah, busy night tonight.
00:49:46There were some gunshots
00:49:47on the police scanner
00:49:48fired near the bridge
00:49:49and there was-
00:49:50You're also on the police scanner?
00:49:52Yeah.
00:49:53That's so fun.
00:49:54You got to stay tapped in
00:49:56to what these little piggies
00:49:56are up to.
00:49:57Is there anything I can do
00:49:58to help you guys?
00:50:02Is there?
00:50:03Cody looks over at Maya
00:50:04and Maya sort of shrugs.
00:50:05He says,
00:50:08if you guys,
00:50:09I know that we're at a diner
00:50:10right now,
00:50:11if you guys are hungry,
00:50:13I've been told that
00:50:17I've been told that
00:50:18if I can help you guys eat,
00:50:22that you may be able
00:50:23to heal even faster
00:50:24but it's apparently
00:50:25a really wild,
00:50:27it's a wild rush.
00:50:30Okay.
00:50:31How do I say?
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:32I'm definitely,
00:50:33I'm in.
00:50:34Should we go somewhere else?
00:50:35Yeah, not here.
00:50:36Yeah, not here.
00:50:37It's okay.
00:50:37There's a bunch of weird bunkers
00:50:39underneath the diner.
00:50:41Huh?
00:50:42You don't know this?
00:50:43Smiling Nixon.
00:50:43You see Maya goes,
00:50:44the ladle.
00:50:46Maya was always interested
00:50:46in what was down
00:50:47that other door.
00:50:48It was too honed in
00:50:49on the ladle.
00:50:50Yeah.
00:50:50Fuck.
00:50:51All right, sorry.
00:50:52Shit.
00:50:53Should we go down
00:50:54to the Smiling Nixon
00:50:55and have ourselves
00:50:55a little party?
00:50:56You guys are down
00:50:57on the catwalk
00:50:57by the Smiling Nixon
00:50:58as Maya is smoking a joint
00:51:00going,
00:51:00this is fucking crazy, right?
00:51:02Yeah, right?
00:51:03This is fucking crazy.
00:51:06Oh, yeah.
00:51:07The smile's so loud.
00:51:09The smile's so loud.
00:51:12It's like,
00:51:12you've never seen
00:51:13anything louder.
00:51:14Cling rap.
00:51:15Do you think he posed for it?
00:51:17He had to have.
00:51:18It's too accurate.
00:51:18It's really photorealistic
00:51:19and I met him.
00:51:20Cody goes,
00:51:21if you guys want to partake,
00:51:22do you want,
00:51:23uh, do you?
00:51:24Yeah, I'm covered.
00:51:26See, Cody takes the joint
00:51:27and hits it,
00:51:29hands it back to Maya
00:51:30and says,
00:51:30if you guys,
00:51:31this is,
00:51:32I'm not trying to,
00:51:33you guys are badly injured.
00:51:35Yeah.
00:51:36I didn't make
00:51:37drinking blood intimate.
00:51:38That's just a thing
00:51:39that's part of your existence.
00:51:40Oh, no.
00:51:41So if you,
00:51:42but you did promise
00:51:43that it'll be a wild ride.
00:51:45Do you have a preference of wear?
00:51:47Um,
00:51:48just do arm,
00:51:49wrist,
00:51:49if that's okay.
00:51:50Okay, great.
00:51:51Should we?
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:53That's a little first.
00:51:54You see,
00:51:54he says,
00:51:55uh,
00:51:55give me one second.
00:51:56Uh,
00:51:56and you see that he takes
00:51:57his shirt off,
00:51:58uh,
00:51:58takes his hat off.
00:51:59I take my shirt off.
00:51:59Uh,
00:52:02you guys all disrobed
00:52:04in front of a massive portrait
00:52:05of Richard Nixon.
00:52:06Um,
00:52:07and you see,
00:52:08Beats pill out.
00:52:10Beats pill out.
00:52:11Buddy rolls in.
00:52:13you see he says,
00:52:16stay calm.
00:52:18You were given this form
00:52:19to protect people.
00:52:21These people are in your realm.
00:52:24They need protecting.
00:52:27And he grows to about
00:52:28eight and a half feet tall
00:52:29and a massive werewolf
00:52:30stands before you
00:52:31on the catwalk.
00:52:32Uh,
00:52:33and he extends his wrists
00:52:34to both of you.
00:52:35Maya looks out and says,
00:52:36uh,
00:52:37what does it look like
00:52:37if it starts to go bad
00:52:38if you guys can't
00:52:40control yourselves?
00:52:41Um.
00:52:42It's a lot of echo
00:52:43location sounds normally.
00:52:45I'm probably gonna be
00:52:45able to control this.
00:52:46If I just,
00:52:47she says,
00:52:48I'm just gonna,
00:52:48I'm just gonna step back
00:52:50and if you guys start
00:52:52to freak out,
00:52:53I'm gonna get.
00:52:53There's sort of a door situation.
00:52:54Here, take my gun.
00:52:55You can just.
00:52:55Don't want that.
00:52:56You don't want to.
00:52:57I'm saying,
00:52:57I guess insurance
00:52:58if it starts to go bad.
00:52:59You can,
00:53:00no, no,
00:53:00I'm just gonna go
00:53:01to the end of the catwalk
00:53:02and if I see things
00:53:02going bad,
00:53:03I'm just gonna get Cody.
00:53:04Okay.
00:53:04All right?
00:53:05You see that she walks
00:53:06to the end of the catwalk
00:53:07and you watch
00:53:08as her eyes go
00:53:10sort of silvery white,
00:53:11almost like two points of light
00:53:13as Maya steps back
00:53:14doing in-person magic
00:53:15for the first time.
00:53:17Okay.
00:53:18I think Bad Child
00:53:20feels thrilled by this
00:53:22and then I think
00:53:24she's gonna go up
00:53:25to Cody's wrist
00:53:26and she's gonna echo
00:53:28what he said
00:53:28but she's saying it
00:53:29to herself.
00:53:30Mm-hmm.
00:53:32You were given this form
00:53:33to protect people.
00:53:36I'm a vampire.
00:53:39I'm a vampire.
00:53:41But it's not senseless.
00:53:43It's to protect people.
00:53:47I'm going to need
00:53:48a willpower roll
00:53:49difficulty of five.
00:53:51Whoa.
00:53:52Happy birthday.
00:53:54Darkness, man.
00:53:54Are you going
00:53:55at the same time?
00:53:56You know what?
00:53:57Why don't I wait
00:53:58until after Bad Child goes?
00:54:00Hell yeah.
00:54:01Okay.
00:54:01I'm gonna...
00:54:02Can I spend a willpower
00:54:03on a willpower?
00:54:04You cannot spend
00:54:05willpower on a willpower.
00:54:06Okay.
00:54:06I got a three.
00:54:07You immediately
00:54:08go to zero hunger.
00:54:10You heal a point
00:54:12of aggravated damage
00:54:13immediately.
00:54:14And as you do so,
00:54:16you are cast
00:54:18into a thudding heartbeat
00:54:20at the center
00:54:21of the spiritual world
00:54:23where you are riding
00:54:25a water flume
00:54:27of the tree of life
00:54:28through all organisms
00:54:29that have ever existed,
00:54:31branching off
00:54:31through zoological pathways.
00:54:33I haven't been
00:54:34in a water park
00:54:35since I turned.
00:54:41And you see
00:54:43parasitism,
00:54:43an absolutely
00:54:46normal branch
00:54:47of zoological study.
00:54:48There are parasites
00:54:49all throughout
00:54:50different zoological branches
00:54:51that are having them,
00:54:52but you sense a curse.
00:54:54Is this a curse?
00:54:55Is this magic?
00:54:56Is this something else?
00:54:56You see a portal
00:54:57yawning, swallowing everything,
00:54:59but energy can neither
00:55:00be created nor destroyed.
00:55:01You hear a howl
00:55:02in the distance.
00:55:03You see a green source
00:55:06of light.
00:55:10Check with the pines,
00:55:11check with the pines,
00:55:12check with the pines.
00:55:13And you see
00:55:14there's drums playing.
00:55:15You see someone looking up.
00:55:17Their throat slit,
00:55:19their blood falling,
00:55:21cascading into an altar
00:55:21and soaking into the ground,
00:55:23soaking down.
00:55:24But the plants here
00:55:25don't eat blood.
00:55:27It's the salt
00:55:28in the blood
00:55:28is not good for the plants.
00:55:29There's nothing wrong
00:55:31with spilling blood
00:55:32if it goes back
00:55:33into the tree of life
00:55:34over and over.
00:55:36The spilling of blood
00:55:37senselessly,
00:55:38the destruction of life
00:55:39for no purpose.
00:55:40These things,
00:55:41and it's just coming
00:55:42again and again and again.
00:55:42And you sense
00:55:43a malevolent spiritual entity
00:55:45looming over all of Purpy
00:55:47from golden bounty farms.
00:55:50The Whitaker monument
00:55:51deserved to be destroyed,
00:55:53and it was destroyed.
00:55:54That owl creature
00:55:56in the basement
00:55:56of the Templars
00:55:57needed to be destroyed,
00:55:58and it was destroyed.
00:55:59And yet the barriers
00:56:01have been brought low
00:56:03as a giant of pine trees,
00:56:06malevolent green light,
00:56:08a single massive
00:56:10Rockefeller center-sized tree
00:56:12in its crotch
00:56:13pointed outwards
00:56:14just like the gumbaroo
00:56:16as it beholds
00:56:17in all of its pagan
00:56:19otherworldly majesty
00:56:20and goes,
00:56:21blood spilled in Purpy.
00:56:27Call them to me,
00:56:29my warriors.
00:56:32You come back
00:56:33on the catwalk.
00:56:34Cody looks at you.
00:56:36You have a temporary
00:56:38dot of potence
00:56:42from drinking Cody's blood
00:56:44in this moment.
00:56:45Whoa.
00:56:45He goes,
00:56:46okay,
00:56:48you okay?
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50Did I hurt you?
00:56:51Yeah, a little bit.
00:56:52It's all right.
00:56:53I'm really sorry.
00:56:54You see he licks
00:56:55the wound closed.
00:56:56Do you do this
00:56:57for vampires often?
00:56:59I've never met vampires
00:57:01that haven't tried
00:57:02to straight up kill me.
00:57:03But you have met vampires?
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06There are some vampires
00:57:10that swing by Mike's bar,
00:57:13usually on their way
00:57:14up and around.
00:57:15There's enough werewolves
00:57:16out here
00:57:16that it's not super safe
00:57:18for vampires.
00:57:19The fact that you guys
00:57:19are all here
00:57:19is frankly shocking.
00:57:21Oh, we got sent here
00:57:21because we fucked up
00:57:22big time.
00:57:23He looks at you
00:57:24and says,
00:57:26I'll take a bite
00:57:27if you don't mind.
00:57:27Yeah, go for it.
00:57:29Go ahead.
00:57:29Give me a little power roll.
00:57:31All right.
00:57:34Four.
00:57:35Four?
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:36Diving in,
00:57:37you actually look out
00:57:37and see images
00:57:40of wolf prints
00:57:41going up the Caroline Vine
00:57:43trailhead
00:57:44up into the trail
00:57:46and see Cody
00:57:47working at the hostel
00:57:49and see a lot of kids
00:57:51showing up at the hostel
00:57:53that are either homeless
00:57:54or have had upsetting
00:57:56things happen to them
00:57:57and have all come here
00:57:58at the beginning
00:57:59of a lupine puberty.
00:58:01That essentially
00:58:02this trail
00:58:03is like a whole,
00:58:04like a trail
00:58:05of being like,
00:58:05go up this trail.
00:58:06It will be safe
00:58:07for you to have
00:58:08your first change
00:58:09way up in the woods.
00:58:10Go at night
00:58:11when there's going to be
00:58:11nobody else around.
00:58:12And there are other
00:58:14werewolves deeper
00:58:15into Oregon
00:58:15that will find you
00:58:16just stay hiking here
00:58:17for a couple of days.
00:58:19And you see that Cody
00:58:19is basically like
00:58:20this gatekeeper
00:58:21trying to scoop up kids
00:58:23that like get off
00:58:24the bus line here.
00:58:25And you can see him
00:58:26meeting Maya
00:58:27for the first time
00:58:28in his memory
00:58:30as one of the bus lines
00:58:32gets cut in town
00:58:33and a bus depot gets cut
00:58:34and he begins to explain
00:58:35to her that he doesn't
00:58:36know how to help
00:58:36because it was one
00:58:37of the main ways
00:58:37that young lost
00:58:38werewolf kids
00:58:39could get to Perpi.
00:58:41And Maya and him
00:58:42talking about
00:58:42what they can possibly
00:58:43do about that.
00:58:44You come back
00:58:45from that
00:58:46feel unaggravated
00:58:47zero hunger
00:58:48and you have
00:58:49a dot in Auspex
00:58:52as you look around
00:58:53only temporarily
00:58:54within the sort of
00:58:55a short amount of time
00:58:56of having that blood
00:58:57from him.
00:58:57But you look
00:58:58and basically see
00:58:59Cody
00:59:00you know
00:59:00there was some feeling
00:59:02in him of like
00:59:02a warrior
00:59:04or a protector
00:59:05and you see that
00:59:06far from
00:59:07this like
00:59:09avenging knight
00:59:10of some guy
00:59:10who's like running around
00:59:11killing people
00:59:11he just stays
00:59:13at a hostel
00:59:14to be someone
00:59:14reliable
00:59:15for these lost
00:59:15kids to find.
00:59:20We're trying to get
00:59:20the buses back
00:59:22up and running.
00:59:23That would be
00:59:24super tight.
00:59:25We're gonna get
00:59:26the buses
00:59:26back up and running.
00:59:27They're actually
00:59:28trying to take over
00:59:29part of your trail.
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Yeah and I tell them
00:59:32about the data center
00:59:34and the land.
00:59:36You see he goes
00:59:37fuck.
00:59:38Fuck.
00:59:39No they can't
00:59:40do that.
00:59:42It's a fucking trail
00:59:43that the stones
00:59:44at the base
00:59:45of the trail
00:59:45are like
00:59:46part of the journey.
00:59:48That's like
00:59:49they're anchored
00:59:49in the spirit world
00:59:50they keep the kids
00:59:51safe when they
00:59:51go up on that
00:59:52nature walk.
00:59:53We'll make sure
00:59:53we'll make sure
00:59:54it won't happen.
00:59:55But they're like
00:59:55symbolic right?
00:59:56You see Maya goes
00:59:58deeply unsymbolic
00:59:59powerfully magical.
01:00:01Oh good.
01:00:02Oh great.
01:00:03You see Maya
01:00:03looks and just goes
01:00:05why?
01:00:06I mean like
01:00:07amazing.
01:00:09But for real
01:00:09like why?
01:00:10Oh um
01:00:11well
01:00:13I just want to live
01:00:14in a town
01:00:15that I really like
01:00:16and I want to live
01:00:17near a zoo
01:00:18in walking distance
01:00:19to a zoo
01:00:20and a library.
01:00:22And I feel like
01:00:22all of these
01:00:23are little steps
01:00:24along the way
01:00:24to make that dream
01:00:26happen for myself.
01:00:27So I guess maybe
01:00:28it's kind of
01:00:28selfish.
01:00:30She looks and goes
01:00:31a zoo?
01:00:32Petting zoo.
01:00:33We're going to start
01:00:33small.
01:00:34A night time
01:00:35petting zoo.
01:00:35Nocturnal petting zoo.
01:00:37For all the really
01:00:37cute nocturnal animals.
01:00:38You see Cody
01:00:40Maya both look
01:00:41at each other
01:00:41and Cody turns
01:00:42and says
01:00:44I know some dudes
01:00:46that work up the road
01:00:47past Medford
01:00:47that do like
01:00:48wolf conservancy
01:00:49stuff.
01:00:51Yeah.
01:00:52You see that Maya
01:00:52says
01:00:53we could have
01:00:53a fucking petting zoo.
01:00:54I could have my
01:00:55partner look into
01:00:56like licenses
01:00:57for a petting zoo.
01:00:58That would be
01:00:58incredible.
01:00:59You should meet
01:01:00Amelia.
01:01:00She's great.
01:01:01Please you know
01:01:02the yeah I think
01:01:04that's great.
01:01:05Well we wanted to
01:01:08meet you guys
01:01:09to catch a vibe.
01:01:10It doesn't really
01:01:11make sense.
01:01:12People sort of
01:01:13don't show up
01:01:15with resources
01:01:15to help.
01:01:17Oh I don't have
01:01:18the resources.
01:01:18They do.
01:01:19Cody has his own
01:01:20journey.
01:01:22We help each other
01:01:22where we can.
01:01:24We've been fighting.
01:01:27You guys have
01:01:28shaken up a lot
01:01:29of stuff here
01:01:29and that's awesome
01:01:31because we've been
01:01:32fighting fucking
01:01:33tooth and nail
01:01:34just to hang on
01:01:37and it's pretty
01:01:38fucking chaotic.
01:01:39The giant Christmas
01:01:40tree is insane.
01:01:41The burning down
