Um, he's like kind of the star of our, like Animo Loudin team this year and um, he's just really smart, you know, and top of our class and everyone respects him. Everyone thinks that he's really smart and you know, he's the Kinda guy that will just look right past you, you know, and over you if you're not tall enough. I'm even though, you know, you have the second highest grades in class. Um, he's a great guy. Uh, he's always hanging out at our shooters. You actually talked to him though. Um, I've seen him talk to other people. Um, and like I've taught, I've spoken to people next to him like, you know, we're in the same room. Girl, you crushing hard on this whole. No, never. I couldn't. Um, oh, um,
Speaker 2:live. Tell you what, what. Because we're friends and we're best friends now. I feel it. We're going to hook you up with this true dude. This jude jude, or we're not hexagons. How'd you know his nickname? His nickname, dude, we just, we had insight. Yeah. We're just, we're very, we're very insightful.
Speaker 1:Oh Wow. I, I always heard that like students from Amdo were jerks. I'm stupid jokes
Speaker 5:mostly. Yeah. But these ones is cool. That's why we friends. You guys seem pretty cool. Or do you go to Amta?
Speaker 2:Oh Wow. Where did you go? Oh, I didn't go to school. I'm like a blue collar. She's our uber driver and she was really cool. So we're hanging out. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, okay. Um, but you're self taught. That's really, that's kind of cool. Oh, thanks. Go. Where do you. I mean, I don't, I don't know how I would even find like the grand libraries so big and has so many books about magic. I just don't know where it would get the information if I didn't have access to the grand library. Yes, it is very, uh, useful. Yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah. Honestly though, like I always have dreamed of coming to the library and almost like we're real excited. Oh, you're, you're going to the, to the animal. Well, I'm going to try Olivia. Can You keep it secret? Because we're best friends. Oh yeah. I love you. My bitch. A raffle. You adapt for you. So. Wow. I've never heard anyone make an oath like that. That wasn't magical. That's how I do with my friends though. So. Okay. You know the ends and honestly we need a little more female blood up in this crew because damn these boys be smelly as hell. I'm so girl. Girl. Yeah. I got to tell you. Okay. Like obviously, you know, I am a student but I really want to go to that library because I just want to like learn some shit. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:She wants to learn you.
Speaker 5:You seem like a, a student of life. Thank you. I've always called myself that. You right here on my heart. You know that do know that. Well, I mean I just, I just, I just, I just speak my mind as a finance mind. Alright. Oh well I'm gonna tell you this. To drag on. See that finance man, because we ain't going to show it to him. Don't you even worry about that? Don't you even worry about a thing? Because we got you. We got you. But I need you to get us to. Okay. Yeah, I think I can do this. So what I'm about to tell you is sensitive information or get it. You cool with that? All right, so I'm going to sneak my son to that library. What? I don't know how else to get in there. It's like really dangerous. I know. How are you going to sneak in? Well, we can figure that out. Oh Man. But if you could help us. Whoa.[inaudible] like girl spontaneity really isn't. You've got a love of learning. I got a love of learning. So like if you could support me in this. I don't have a love of rule breaking. Okay. That's okay. But you ain't got a love for snitching, right? Well, you said that we're friends and I, I, I would very much like to be your friend and, and as long as, as long as I don't know about the rule breaking, I don't see how I could tell anyone about any rule breaking. Well, there you go. Then I will tell you as previously stated, there is no rule breaking plan in place yet. There is just a desire, so that's all you got to know. Okay. I, I can. I believe that I could keep my lips shut on that. I'll appreciate that. Now let's go get some drinks. Okay. With my friends. Okay.
Speaker 1:Come. Come to the bar with me and get the drinks. Why? Because I need to ask you a question or not at star shooters yet. Can we get to star shooters? Please? Cut to the village area of censure. Olivia and cobalt. Cobalt knows where it is even though he's never been inside your spot be suck or hates you. They lead you into an alleyway and as you've moved further down into the village, you noticed that there are less and less tourists and the roads become less and less than intuitive of how to navigate the streets of essential and they lead you into this alley, very dingy and you go down these stairs and there was this metal door, there's no sign that says says star shooters or anything like that. Just a metal door. And in front of it is a hooded figure and a white cloak. And he says, speak the password password girl. It changes all the time, but I, I, I could try. I'm A. Oh man, I'm, Oh, Paul wants to detect thoughts. Go for it. The password today is terrific. Oh, I never would have guessed. Wait, wait, wait. We didn't hear that. So live. Just tell me what you think it is. Don't say it loud enough that the doorman can hear. Um, well usually it's some sort of creature. Cool. Cool. So what do you think it is? What do I think it is? Yeah, I mean it usually it can be some kind of a dog or like not a dog, like usually they like four legged animals here. I don't know why. Cool. Let me give it a go. Okay, so he says to the Doorman Giraffe, the hooded figure does not react. At first he stands, his giraffe is a very good and he moves out of the way and the metal door opens all on its own and you walk into
Speaker 2:star shooter's shooter.
Speaker 1:Our shooter sound out Laura Dern, you see a, they do have a bar, they've got a bunch of tables. You know, it's like a fucking regular goddamn bar.
Speaker 2:Is it more like a nightclub or a bar? Both. It feels like something on St Mark's summit on St Mark's the only visit Manhattan. Go to St Mark's. Learn what that looks like and then, and then get back to us because that's the reference bitches. The only issue is that there's, there's only three people here hanging out at star shooters. Wow.
Speaker 1:Everybody's at the university. I guess they seem to be Hexton students. Yeah.
Speaker 2:What time of day is it? Gets freaking 9:00 AM to say like, is it like middle of the day?
Speaker 1:No, no, no. It's later in the day. Uh, so like nine, nine, 30 pm. So it was place should be alive and popping, but it is not. We see a lonely bartender and two people sitting at the bar and then another guy trying to mess with a skee ball machine in the back corner. Serbian started shooters is pop and pop and bar. No, it's not popping. Oh, uh, well I thought there'd be more people here, but obviously obviously not. Um, I mean, I don't know why they're not inviting me if, if there aren't a lot of people here already that's my day. And invited you here. Ain't nothing.
Speaker 2:Yes. Paul wants to reach out with his mind and see what else he can hear. Anything. Oh Shit. He got. Well I don't want to say it out loud in case anybody here. That's the new site
Speaker 1:worries. You're welcome. Very clever or free. Heard. Very clever. Unfortunately. You do only feel unfortunate for minds that I described. Wow. No, this place is totally a bust. I thought it was going to be,
Speaker 2:this is going to be an exciting thing. Vince does is really lame bar, but that's okay. Olivia here, let me go the bartender. Well, I mean this is really strange. Like I've, I've heard people say that it's a good time, but it doesn't seem to be. Well, you know what? We can make it a party and then honestly probably just head to the university.
Speaker 5:Got Booze, right. Let's get some drinks. Pals, buying or brands behind it. Paul. Oh. I have a friend named Paul who like looks a lot like this ass. So sometimes I confuse them
Speaker 2:and he's really generous and good looking, so usually he can get us a lot of drinks. People love him. They love being around him.
Speaker 5:Oh, okay. Cool. Okay. I hope to meet him one day. No you don't. You will. You will not need those. He's like that kind of guy who like, you like them for a little bit, but like you need them in small doses because if you hang out with them for too long, you want to kill him. You know what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:He's just like a really high level thinker in a lot of people can't take that, you know. Okay. They get overstimulated. I need a shot. Let's go the bar.
Speaker 5:Go to the bar. Maybe
Speaker 2:shoot is a cobalt. Can you help me carry the drinks please? Come on. You gotta know what to order in a place like this. Yes. I will go with you to the bunk and thank you. Even though Olivia's kind of not been helpful. I thought maybe she can't hear me right now. You guys walked away from her so she can hear you. I thought that maybe we could, could meet that guy, drew, and since he overlooks her, quite literally, you could use some magic to make him her height and then maybe they'll fall in love. You're. Wait a minute, I have to talk you out of killing an innocent boy and you want to make sure that this node gets laid. He is in no way innocent. And I think everyone deserves a chance. She saved my butt back there when you so epically did not. She wouldn't have if she'd known you. I disagree. I don't, well that's not what we're talking about at this moment. We are here to get the information on the or because you thought it was old. Some love. Oh the, the, the accent comes out. You drop the facade. Now we are here on a mission. We're not here to make some connections between some of the lonely girl and some boy. That is from what I hear out of her league or you know all about that went well. I graduated with the highest grades. Why would I consult with somebody like her? Why would he? Do you want to focus? Is that I feel like we are not having the same conversation with yet because I'm trying to be kind. Maybe that's why it's not believable or you think among can because I recognize your faults. Honestly, I, I, I, I, I can't form a real opinion about you because I don't care. Oh, hello customers. Hi. How are you? So very excited to see both of you are. Welcome to star shooters were simply. Just give you. Oh, Pew Pew. That's what we do here. It's a little thing. New branding thing. We're trying out like that tattoo on your neck. I quite it. Thank you
Speaker 1:coco. Don't you love it here? Don't call me Coco. I'm sorry. He's grumpy. That's all right. I'm just terribly excited to have both of you here. Please. What can I get for you? Words everyone. Everyone who? The customer's business. This is a bar. Yes. A year. You're here. You're right here in front of me and I'd be happy to serve you a whatever you would like. We were just expecting a more crowded place. We heard about star shooters. Pew, Pew all the way back in the market district and you see is like. That's a man I'm speaking to. So sorry. Gender is a construct. I apologize. No, it's quite all right. So you see it in front of you and with just a light blue, a light blue tent to his skin. Eyes head is shaved except for one little tuft of hair. White hair in the front. Gross almost as if it's like trying to be a little Mohawk Mohawk. He's wearing a nice button up shirt with a nice dark blue vest. No such thing as a nice vest. I think there is, if you could see it in my mind's eye, it looks pretty cool. It looks pretty frequently. Doubledown proving my point as you're asking him where everyone is and uh, and you were expecting more people. You can see that his smile, like in the corner of his smile, like his lips are just twitching and then his eyes are kind of watering up. And finally he go ahead and do want to say something. You know what Daddy I'm going to do to take one more time. You reach out as specifically at the bartenders a mind and uh, as soon as you like try to inspect what's inside of his brain, all you hear is screaming and the screaming that you hear in your mind, uh, immediately, uh, you hear in your ears because he's like, oh, I'm started shooting. Pew is not what it used to me. It's just sad. He's not like in danger. No, he's distraught. Will live. Nobody is here. That means that somebody, everybody is somewhere else. What's your competition going on? Ever since the luminary, he likes the. The Rock is rouser because they have cheese cake. I'm sorry. We don't have a delicious Jesus. It's Judas. They have cheesecake now. I really want some. Jesus. We have cheesecake. I don't do with. You just said you don't tempt you. Obviously it's not. Obviously it's not as good as the one at rutgers. Rouser going to rock.
Speaker 5:I mean we can do a shot. Throw some visits his way also. I really need to drink. Do you have like a dollar shot thing and he grabs your arm really tight because like. Oh, I don't know. Please. I'll do anything. I need a drink for you. You just need that cheesecake recipe. I mean yeah, I guess that would do. But maybe if you could bring me something and ingredient. I would love cheese. What ingredient would that be? I need nectar from nest. Not far from here. Okay. And then the luminary. He would like my cheesecake the best and then I would be invited to be an honored guest at the animal. Udub. He's an honored guest with Adam alluded. Well for the past six years. Yes. But not until the ruck is arouse it one time
Speaker 6:cheesecake eating two weeks ago.
Speaker 5:Okay. So where's this hogene you would help a blubbering idiot like me. They promised to try to get together before we come back. That was worth it. That's rough. That's hard to look at. I'll be honest. Can I be. Can I be real with you? Wait, am I the bar right now?
Speaker 2:I think everyone must have noticed when the bartender just like started blogging for people in here started crying. We kind of like, what the fuck is going on? It'd be really great if you notice in verses like ups. Wait. Oh wait, we still stood by the door?
Speaker 5:Yeah. Let this play out at your bar. Keep this. Okay. So I want to support your business and don't want to give you a helpful note. Okay? Yes. Tbh audit cried and shit. Kind of a turnoff for customers. Helpful. And you see that one of the, one of the hexton patrons gets up from the bar and walks out the door. Yes. You to hold it together, son. You're quite right. You're quite right. Yes I will. Do my father told me no one wants to see a grown man. Cry gets uncomfortable. Honestly though, that is like kind of like a whole factor of toxic masculinity and I am not telling you not to express your feelings. Your feelings are valid, but they'd be a hell of a lot more valid away from customers and I am just. I am. I'm just saying that because I want to help you out, but like only does left. You're right. If, if Samuel was still here, he would tell me the exact same thing. Who? Samuel? Well, he was my partner, but ever since business has been declining, he decided to leave and I don't blame him because I haven't been a blubbering mess ever since. When you say partner, I made it in every sense of the word. Love it. Yeah. That's tough and maybe if it were known that I once again had the best and all of the century,
Speaker 1:then perhaps he would return selfish reason to want to be the best I know, but to also to be the honored guest at the Animal Udem would not hurt at all. We going to assist this man before, after I romantic comedy, helping out Olivia. My suspicion is that good old drew dude is at the browser, so I feel like we're going to swing by anyway. Two birds with one stone. I was just going to say that. That's so crazy to lizards. One shovel, two girls. One Cup. We will assist you. We will help your business and your partner will be back eating your cake in no time. That was very clever word play and I love it and I feel the need to point out. I would like nothing more than for him to eat my cake once more. No. Okay. I've already said it. Let's beat the dead horse. I'm speaking of the cheesecake. What was that? You really got to keep. You really want stuff off the floor. That is not. I've composed myself little dangled out. Yeah, there you go. Go to the bathroom and clean yourself up. How much are we getting paid to help you out? If you were to get this, uh, this sweet nectar for me from the hygienist nest, I would be willing to pay each of you a, I believe 225 credits each would be a fair price and, and, and some of maybe some cheesecake. And as an alumni of hexton university, perhaps you may name a drink after me. What is your name? Cobra. But he prefers coco. Coco is like his street name. I do feel that coco would be better suited for a concoction. Thanks for ruining everything. You're welcome. If you could just make it mostly Compari. We need to be bitter drinks though. Let me treat you to a drink eight. You would you prefer a shot of some tracks and whiskey perhaps? Yes. Yes. Always. Yes. And uh, he, he pulls out for glasses. Oh, I, I'll try a little bit. Oh yeah. Live is definitely having a shot. Okay. We'll make that five glasses and he puts them out and he pours the tracks in whiskey and to each of them. And as they are, it's being poured into the glass. You can see at central class just a little bit. That's how. That's how spicy this shit is. Okay. Here we go. Guys, grab your glass. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I feel like when people do these things, they usually say something beforehand. We'll be saying, yeah, we're going to do that live. He just sort of fall off. Oh. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Alright, I'm ready. You Ready? I'm ready. One, two, three. She's close enough. It lightly sending your son. As it travels down, you'll feel it all the way down to your smoke comes out. Oh, I love it. It was so good. Kobach shutter and his staff close slightly and then you look over and you can see that, uh, Olivia is lightly sipping it. Girl. Oh, what is the shot that drink all at once? And then she downs. It just goes over and like puts her paw over Olivia's mouth to keep it from down up. Please. This is an investment in a movie. I don't understand why you invest in Luca. I made a promise to his grandma. So pained. She tugged on my robes. They're not real road. Alright. Uh, you know, crying bartender van. We're, I'm terribly sorry. My name is Hutch. Of course. What is your partner's name? Samuel. Oh, did he have a nickname? I don't believe so. I've never had anyone call it anything but Samuel or, or perhaps Sam or Sammy Starsky. No one ever called him like Sir or Daddy. Anything in range as you said, I should keep private things private. Oh yeah. Now he's learning. All right. How much we'll have somebody who's a piggy later girl. We're going to go get that next year. Cool. Thank you so much. I shall be forever in your debt. Yeah, we know. Deuces. So where do we go now? We go to this nest and do more work. We still have time to wait until we infiltrate the laboratory and then we have to get rid of Olivia. Got To kill time. Go to the next. All right, so the nest is a little distance. It's 10 days away. It's 10 days away. It's like an hours travel east of essential. As you're walking out and you announced that you are going to go to the nest, Olivia says that is it. Okay, if I, if I come with you guys to, to the, to the nest. Yeah, please. I want to pick your brain about these stabs. Yeah. Um, I actually, that's exactly where I was going because I need to, I need to prove myself to who? To Madame Nora. Adam. Nora. Nora with Madame Nora. I don't know if you know her. Maybe she wasn't teaching at Hexton. I'm familiar with middleware. How do you know? Um, well then she goes to a school dumb ass. Let her answer the question.[inaudible] host spends a lot of time in the library. Um, she's not happy with me right now and I to do something to prove to her that I'm serious and that I'm applying myself in, in my magical studies.
Speaker 5:Yeah, you really seem like the loosey Goosey kind of Gal.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Um, well that was sarcasm. Oh, okay. You some serious as well. Ms Dot Nora uses sarcasm a lot and I still don't understand it very well, but I, I've heard that there's a strange things happening out there. This hace nest came out of nowhere and I thought that maybe if I, if I helped take care of the problem, then maybe she would forgive me, nor the works in the lagoon. It. What does that have to do with you? Well, you know, how[inaudible] your, you went to Hexton so, so you know that there's a lot of rules, a lot, a lot of rules in a that pertained to the grand library. Yes, of course. Right. And there's certain books that you're not supposed to take out of the library. I'm ever. And I tried to take one and it was just a small one, but I thought that I could get away with it and I thought that I had my incantation just right. But Ms Dot Nora is so smart and of course she caught me and here I am though. Um, I'd rather not say if that's okay. It was a book to help you get drew's attention wasn't. No, no, not at all. It definitely wasn't like a charm person for eternity type of spell. Just a little one. There's just gonna be a little spell that is forbidden in. You know, I don't wanna I don't want to make him like my slave, but I just know that we would be perfect together. Love is the pure magic of vogue. You cannot replicate. I can try.
Speaker 5:Oh, little mess. I don't want to break the rules over here. That's a big one. Big Ass.
Speaker 1:Cool. Well, I said I am not a fan of it, but sometimes the greatest wizards and warlocks to ever come out of Hexton only became that good because they were willing to bend some rules.
Speaker 5:How about You ben? Gel Miles. Next time you see drill and say a nice. Hello.
Speaker 1:That is, that is very cress. Is it to say hello? Oh, bad idea. I mean I'm just saying like using words girl. I'm not very good with sarcasm but I am good with innuendos.
Speaker 5:No, I meant that. Genuinely. Like just talk to the dude and like say hi. And then you know, just like he needs to know. He doesn't know who you are. You gotta just like introduce yourself. Like put yourself in his orbit. You know like yoga girl, you cute, you know, you smart, you've got a lot to offer a man you know, so like he's got to believe in yourself a little bit. Got like a confidence spell using like a confidence bell bitch.
Speaker 1:Nothing is sexier than confidence and a chick will look. This may be an unpopular opinion, but you are second in academics. Perhaps you don't need him. Oh, I never thought about that. You are a smart woman. You don't need a man or a man that does not appreciate your mind.
Speaker 5:I bet there'd be some dudes who think about you the way you think about drew. Think about that. I know I've never thought about that. Yeah, but there's some like library boy or some like looked so glasses and it's like, oh, I just want to take off those glasses. Drew
Speaker 1:is just everything that like if I were to conjure the perfect guy, then you tried. I'm sure. Well I didn't try to take that book from the library

Speaker 2:standard the corner. Be like, Olivia, you're great. Twenty minutes. Like, is it Saturday?
Speaker 1:We've found some transport to take us out to where this whole conversation was. Aaron Sorkin was sexy. Absolutely. And so, uh, the whole conversation ends with Olivia saying, you know what? I think you're right. I am going to talk to drew as soon as I, as soon as I get back to Hexton, I'm going to find him and I'm going to say, hey, you drew. Look at me. I'm Olivia. We can work on that. Yeah, I think. I think we just edit it, just distill it. And the first draft, first draft, we'll get back to you with some notes.

This one time, my buddy Maurice, he, uh, he took me to a farm and he pointed at these things that were flying in the air and I thought they were eagle, but he was saying they were hace I didn't know how you could fly. I thought they were underground thing. So I think those were hatching. I thought Marie's was totally dead. I think he died from the heartbeat. I love how. I mean, I guess you're still in front of it when I was about to say otherwise. Use this dropper, Ruth. No, no. I want you to. We're taking this all away, man. I'm really impressed with Briana. Want you to play your freshman? Charismatic. He's not weeping
Speaker 1:dead family. Those of you who grow old, a 17. You guys know that I'm Hachi are very migratory. Not but not according to seasons. It's just when they feel like up and leaving, they're gonna up and leave and usually they will make a nest outside of, uh, about this distance from cities because they like to go in and try to sometimes feed off of children. What did, what did they look like? Do we know that they look like giant wasps about like wasps the size of people bigger than quip?
Speaker 2:Yes. They're gonna quit. So they average like five and a half years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, exactly. Probably like five and a half. For those of you who rolled,
Speaker 2:Hey, 20 years, look it up for 23. For those of you who wrote a net 20, you learned a lot of shit or at least you know more shit, but you're like too into it. Like you definitely you had like a little, like you had a collection as a kid, like kept them in a jar. It was a big, big jar, like found the babies and liked him at dinner. They'd be like, what'd you do today? Did you know that Hannah,
Speaker 1:you know exactly how fast and far hace can travel without resting a, which is they can fly at 40 miles per hour. Jesus,
Speaker 6:40 miles an hour, pick up things as size of human children. Lazy.
Speaker 1:They can go 500 miles without having to risk
Speaker 2:100 miles, 500 miles. That would be the equivalent.
Speaker 1:You know that Hachi are a hive mind, but they do not serve any type of queen other. Very much a communal, um, insect creatures. Socialist. Actually that is how they made this orgies. So there you go. What a fun detail for you to share with the group. Creepy, creepy person. And when he was, when they do attack a small children, it is to suck out all their vital juices so that they can produce this a nectar that you're going after, which is like, it was just like wasp punny, hace, honey. How come her? That's what you know about Hachi have a bat, but also the typically orange colored. Is that all we know about hace or will there be more detailed share? It's all you know about hace. Olivia looks the four of you and says, I don't know if Kobach ever gonna like emmy anywhere like Luca. I just don't like Olivia. Got It. Okay. You said you wanted to kill Luca and you hated him so, so much, but it wouldn't be right to kill him hanging out with those girls. Right, but that's different than liking him. Like not murdering someone in liking them are different. I stand by what I said. This bitch. She says, should we. Should we go inside?
Speaker 2:Olivia? I honestly am. I wanted the group's opinion on this, but we're sort of adventure hardy. You're still a sophomore, so I thought maybe you could stay out here. See if you can make any of these staves. Like super magical and then we'll get the nectar. I'll just should make some magical. Her specialty is crystals. I don't know if you were there when she said that. Olivia, do you have any crystals with you now? There are crystals in the staff's that's glass. Which is are all of them glass? Olivia. Well, could you do like maybe if we had a little faith in all of these resources were being given,
Speaker 1:I mean I feel like I would have to take it back to ms dot felicity. Miss Coincidence. Sounds like a drag stage
Speaker 2:of Ms Dot[inaudible]. The city. Ms Dot Christy. Um, I feel like maybe she could do something with the staffs. But who's, who's Ms Dot[inaudible]. She's a professor at, at Hexton University. We should just wait til we get there before we do anything with these. Oh, maybe I'm just, I'm not too good with like magic crafting right now. What are you good at? I'm really good at illusions. You mentioned crystals earlier, right? Am I not? Am I crazy? She does know things about crystals. Lit major is illusions. The friend who was a major was alluding to live. If you can make allusions, maybe you can help us distract these big things. Cheat the Haji, Teddy. But she, right the not eagles. Maybe you can help. I thought they were either they were in the house. We don't have to distract them. Perhaps they're not even here. They traveled. Did he? See it
Speaker 1:oddly enough, you do not see any hace buzzing around this nest. Is there a way to like check if there's Haji inside we could go in. Give me some perception. I have that perception ain't okay. Perception. Give me an okay role. Oh, I don't need to. It's 18 plus seven. I got 25. Holy Shit. So quip is able to hear a just a faint buzzing coming from inside of this nest and there's something in there. And you rolled a 17 before, right? You feel like it should be louder. There should be more Hachi in inside of this nest. So they're not all there. Some of them are there. There's something in there. There's something in there is at least one hace, but that isn't. I mean probably not more than like Bernie, but touch. You have a hard mind when they all go together. Maybe there's some sick or injured hace that stayed behind
Speaker 2:out hunting or something. And then like the. There's got to be people that always stay in the net. Can you sense the thoughts? You know what, I read thought about that and I'm only meant to be able to do it once a day or I get this mad headache and nose bleed. Eventually I die from that. I think you should give it a chance. So don't do it. So you knew I've already really exerted myself and I'll pay more attention to that nosebleed in the future. Maybe not. Maybe. Maybe, maybe it won't happen. Yeah, I mean, you know, if you, if you want to fight me, just feel free to turn your little stick into a gun and miss a few times again. Well I can just keep it as stick and put the fireball up. Your Olivia put a fireball up. What? Uh, whenever you're ready. Kobach
Speaker 1:don't even worry about me, bitch. Okay. Well I feel like if I'm going to prove myself to Miss Nora then I shouldn't stay out here and I think I should go in.
Speaker 2:I think you should go inside too. In fact, I think you should go inside first. I love you. Have you. Have you seen any movies or read any books? There's little. She says I'll be back. She'll be fine. I'll be back. Oh, she definitely have urgent. I'm going to Olivia. I'll walk with you. Okay. Politics at his gun. I'll go with excellent. How about we all go? No, we want us to be first. Maybe you can come back. I'll stay out here and then go. You could just stand to the side and wait for everything to be over if some hotties come screaming. No, but seriously coco and q. can you guys, can you guys be the lookout for more hace academically? Do that? I think since I have the most knowledge. You know what? I'll be fine out here. The colored people stay. We see movies, stupid white people are going to go.
Speaker 1:Alright. So quip and Kobach stay, uh, I assume at the base of this, uh, this nest, this mound and Chris Paul and Olivia are going to scale it and it's tough to get to the top because as you, as you start to walk up, know the dirt starts to shift a little bit and you lose your footing a couple of times, but eventually you do make it to the mouth of this nest. At the, at the top of the 100 foot kind of almost mountain, but you know, a big mound of dirt and you look at, it seems to be kind of lit on the inside, like, like is pop in. It's like there's illumination where maybe there shouldn't be less exciting if you say so. Yeah, it looks like there's about a 40 foot drop and then there's a ground where you guys could uh, could jump in there. I mean, I'll climb down. Yeah, you can climb in for sure. Give it a try. Not just fall. I'm just gonna. See what happens today. Uh, yeah, let's climb down. Um, you see as you guys start to climb down, Olivia um, takes a feather out of her robe and uh, she hops down and she drops about 10 feet before the feather, like disappears and she just starts to gently float down to the, to the ground. Magic user, baby magic user, baby t magic. I love magic. And she gently lands on the ground, feet from she checks, make sure she's okay. Oh, okay. And, uh, you guys make it to the, to the bottom like a minute later, a minute later. She didn't help us at all. Nope. You think magic is stupid? It seems to be a, you know, you're, you're kind of in a dark cave right now and it seems to be illuminated by torches that had been stuck into the side of the, of the walls, which is odd. Why would not you do that? And there seems to be a series of tunnels that were definitely a doug and burrowed by hace. What's the smell situation? It's musty down here. Not a lot of, uh, you're not getting a lot of airflow down here, but Kobuc stayed outside. You can smell the smoke coming off of the torches. And uh, that's about it. There isn't anything other than the torches. There isn't anything you wouldn't expect to smell inside of a nest of, of some insects is the, uh, the buzzing a bit louder. It is, yeah. You can hear it echoing through the cave. Alrighty. Teddy. Whip out. Olivia, you stay between us like a little sandwich. We can get some nectar. Okay, let's do it. We want to look around and see if you have a perception. Yeah, mine's a five. A five. A one, two, three, four, five. All right. Let me roll for Olivia. See what she can sue. Olivia got to 17 so you can see that there is. There appears to be a small trail of nectar that is, uh, on, on the ground, uh, that is leading into the tunnel that you see in front of you. Let's follow that. So as you guys move to the mouth of this tunnel, you can hear the buzzing gets louder and there's still just a small little trickle of nectar that is leading into this tunnel. But the buzzing is definitely getting louder. And Olivia says, Oh, um, I think we're getting closer. Maybe this is, this is leading us to, to, uh, hace that we could extract some neck.
Speaker 2:You're from live, you get the nectar from the Haji. There's no like storage pot. I even, maybe if we go deep enough, that's a, that's a great idea. If we go deep enough, I'm sure there's a, there's a whole like cash of, of nectar that we could, that we could get. Or are you sneaky live?
Speaker 1:Oh,
Speaker 2:do you have magic? You could do illusions. Yeah. I, right now I can only really make sounds. Wow. I feel like you oversold that earlier. I'm only, I'm only a second year. Right? I brought that up. I do remember you saying no, I can't do Christmas. I could do the illusion. Um, but I, I, I am. Even though Ms Dot Nora did catch me, I, I'm still pretty sneaky. Okay. Did Your Daddy, are you? Are you sneak stir? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to snake so hard. Okay, cool. Let's, let's get real sneaky, real sneaky Lac la, and then we're gonna to. We're just going to walk as deep as we can. If I'm one of those vans. Okay.
Speaker 1:Let's do it. And you guys walk a little bit further and you can hear as you are walking, the buzzing is getting louder and there is tiny trail of nectar continues, but you start to see another trail, a small trail of a what looks to be a ruby substance, a red liquid that is a leading off to the left. As you come into this, a kind of almost like a tri fork in the road here.
Speaker 2:A red substance, a red substance. Is it blood? It does seem to be blood. Is it blood or should we check? No, it is blood to the left. That's still left. You got one. The tunnel is going off now to the left and there's a path going to the right. Teddy. We, we gotta go. We gotta follow the blood and so they do
Speaker 1:got to outside with quip and Kobach. What is happening out there? Kobach smoking a cigarette. He's Ashton it into the wind. Okay, well that's nice. I didn't know that Kobach smoked. I know Kobach had cigarettes. Can you pass me one of those dollar for Lucy? Which I thought we was friends with a cigarette. It's an herbal cigarette into enhance mystical abilities. Oh honestly. But normally I would have expected a menthol flavored. Thank you. The Guy who was driving the truck, he's still out there and he was like, I thought you guys going inside with them wasn't what gives, you know, I forgot that was none of your business. So we just keep on keeping on. But I was just curious. I'll stay here in the truck now. I just didn't appeal to me. I don't know. You can go in there if you want, but nope, I'm paid to drive not to die. You don't what? Same. That's why we out here. All right, cut back to. Alright. So Kiana, Paul and Olivia turned this corner to follow the blood trail and they see on the ground a dead body in the lump, or at least it appears to be dead from where you are right now. And above this seemingly a corpse is a buzzing insect. Somebody gave me a perception room. Olivia can do it to 16, 16, 10 living at 23. Oh Shit. Oh Shit. Olivia starts to shake and she looks up and she says, that doesn't look like a hace. What the fuck is you look up, and this is not an orange wasp looking creature. This is a green forearmed. It's still an insectoid, but it has a four buzzing wings, four arms, two legs, and it, it's covered in this like, uh, this green mucus. I'm not covered. It's like, it's like dripping, it looks like it's sweating this mucus. Right? And it looks over at you and it screeches it's us. Even though we were sneaky and say you're being, you did say regency. Still throw. Sorry. Alright. So Paul and Olivia are undetected, but the thing is definitely looking at data.
Speaker 7:That's right.
Speaker 1:And it flies towards you. Well, that's what we're going to end for today.
