Chaos erupts at Pubby Brewsters.

SPEAKER_14

Yes, another heaping helping of Nightmare Party is on the menu for you who are listening and watching. I'm not sure. I think it's mostly listening, but we're recording both. Welcome back to Nightmare Party, a DD adjacent comedy-based podcast for those who are here. It's me, the DM, Ryan Beale. As you know, I've convinced some of my very cool friends who are comedians to play DD. A sort of a one-roll, one D20 system I've created myself, uh D game. And here we have Mark L, Mark C, and Kevin L. Hi everyone. Hi, Ryan.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, Ryan B. Hi, Ryan.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah. Yeah, you can just yeah, I'm just Ryan B. For the there's not another Ryan involved. But uh so I just gonna do a little brief recap for the listeners, and then also maybe you all could jump in. Just remind people what character you're playing currently, and sort of maybe a little bit of a maybe a little bit of a a couple a monologue, a sent a couple sentences of how how that character feels, you know, so people have a sense of who we're listening and who are watching playing. So when we last left off, our our party is currently running a restaurant. They are running a family style restaurant called Pubby Brewster's, which I think is a chain. Um it's been it's been a few years. It's been a couple years.

SPEAKER_17

It's been two years. This is a great adventure you've led us to, Ryan.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah, well, you washed up on shore on Magical Island, and through one step or another, now you're just running a restaurant. Underwater. Yep. It is underwater, it's right on the outskirts of a massive, beautiful, exciting uh uh city uh called Crabopolis, full of crabs, the city of many legs, I like to call it. Um we have never been there. We just have never, never ever even wanted to venture into this shining, beautiful underwater fantasy city. Fully developed. There's a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of cool encounters that could happen there. If you ever want to go in there, you want to go through the gates, that's fine. Uh, but we have our players have been running this restaurant, puppy Brewster's. Uh um, we'll we'll get into it in a minute, but uh Mark L, excuse me, Mark C, your character um is uh suffering from amnesia.

SPEAKER_17

Yeah, yeah, a kind of an amnesia that that that was brought on when he when he was shipwrecked uh and then and then ran into the sea and or on through to the jungle, we don't remember, but he came back. Uh and then he went through a series he used to be called Golf. Uh and he's he's a character that that he his name is what is is his passion. And so he went through a series of different different identities and landed finally on Waiter, where he found his true calling of being a waiter. Now uh through uh some mishap, he accidentally, or they all accidentally killed the assistant to the crab mayor, and his name is Taryn, uh, in front of some a nice family who was celebrating uh a crab sinera in the restaurant. And so now and and they convinced uh waiter to get inside the the the cadaver of the of the crab, the crab daver and and and move it around like um like a crab stew, a sort of a costume for crab stume. Yeah, crab stume, yeah. He's he's in his crab stume, a crab daver, crab stew, and he's wearing it. And that character's name was and still is, but according to the mayor who thinks he's still alive, Taryn.

SPEAKER_14

Wow, great memory, great job on the the shared recap there, Mark C. Uh Mark L and Kevin L. Who are you guys playing? What are your what are your characters? What's going on with you guys?

SPEAKER_05

Well, my name is Pudding. That's right. And I am an ogre bard.

SPEAKER_07

Um, but um the bard thing, I was a stand-up comedian who wanted to pursue that, but that's gone away.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Because I found my true calling, which was running a restaurant. Yeah. So now I just want to I just want to make pubby brewsters into the best restaurant it can be.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah. Your owner, operator of pubby brewsters, putting the the orc on.

SPEAKER_03

I wonder how often that happens. Stand-up comedians are going, they're doing open mics at restaurants and stuff, and then they're just like transition into running the restaurant. You know, I feel like that happens. That's another at least a handful of times. Oh, yeah. Uh as for me, I play Jesus Christ, no relation. Uh, I am a cleric, an elf cleric uh from uh an LDS, um from the Church of the LDS, which is the long devouring snake, not uh Latter-day Saints. Yes, um the long devouring snake is a deity, uh giant snake that lives in the crotch of the world, um, and he constantly talks about it um with phallic uh uh euphemisms and stuff. And he's just sort of hoity-toity, uh fussy, doesn't really have a clear personality. Yeah, and it just sort of goes along with it. But he's running this restaurant. I feel like in the restaurant, get in this restaurant situation, I feel like he's sort of like the second in command. Like he's sort of the guy who goes and like makes the schedule, is the one who like goes and like refills the ice and goes and like buys extra cans of soda from the from the from the from the grocery store when they run out and stuff. Whereas Mark is like the more big picture guy, um, you know, booking the events, doing like, you know, that that's sort of how I've pictured it in my mind. I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, Mark L.

SPEAKER_14

No, that's great, that's great.

SPEAKER_03

But yeah, and that's that's that's just what I've been doing.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah, I think the important thing for everyone to know is no matter what adventure has happened to all three of these characters, they all are now running a restaurant. Um so there's been a lot of fantasy adventure that's brought them here. And this is where they've settled, and I guess it worked for them. Uh and so Mark C was alluding to it. There was a big event planned at their puppy boosters involving the mayor of Kerbopolis, the Crab Mayor. Unfortunately, his assistant came, died under their watch, so they decided to kind of weaken Bernie's him, sort of puppet him around uh in order to keep the event from happening. Crab mayor came, but also this magical tree has shown up. That's where the the last episode left off, an olive tree where they had to go. There was a little bit of a uh a DD mission, which was kind of cool. They had to go get deep sea olives from a magical olive tree in order to make a crab teeny that did eventually kill the mayor's assistant. But that tree has angrily showed up, played by Mark L, uh, and that's where we left off. The may the crab mayor was trying to do his big speech, wasn't going terribly well. The olive tree burst in, and suddenly there was this big commotion, kafuffle. Who knows what's gonna happen? Let's get into it. A big re-entry into the world of nightmare party. So, Mark L, you were the olive tree. Let's hear from the olive tree. What does it want?

SPEAKER_07

You took my olives, my precious orange olives. Oh no and now you will pay.

SPEAKER_17

Oh no. As I'm Terran. I'm trying to still convince everyone I'm Terran. Oh no, I've never seen this thing in my life. Oh no, oh no. Terran, help me. I'm the crab mayor, help me. Stay stand behind me, mayor. Stand behind me. I'll protect you. I run towards the tree. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You have to run sideways towards the tree. You start running forwards and then you're like, whoops, and you start running. Why are you running forwards, Taryn?

SPEAKER_00

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_17

Oh, I I I was nervous and sides and I I wanted to get out of the way. When we get out of the way, we go forwards instead of sideways as a human might. You understand? Right. I'm Terran.

SPEAKER_07

I'm going to kill you. Okay. I'm gonna roll to kill you. To kill me. To kill Terran. To kill Terran slash waves.

SPEAKER_17

And I'm right, I'm right there. He's rushing. You're right in front. Yeah, I'm rushing at it. Baby, I'm right there.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Okay, what should I roll?

SPEAKER_14

So just roll. I'm I'll I've got kind of a uh a check going here to see how high or how low you roll. So you do so I'm assuming you strike, you strike at Terran with like a one of your big tree branches.

SPEAKER_07

Yes.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah, okay. I've rolled a 10. Okay, so you don't you don't kill Terran, but you you you severely injure. Golf gets knocked around, but he is kind of protected by the shell of the crab, right? So like he gets knocked to the edge of the room. He he knocks over a couple tables, spills some drinks.

SPEAKER_03

Could I knock his crab costume off? Well, that's what I'm gonna ask. Maybe he like roll for damage on the costume to see if it gets all fucked up or something.

SPEAKER_14

That's a great idea, Kevin. Let's roll it, let's roll for damage on the costume. Let's see if it if he cracks open.

SPEAKER_07

I'm rolling for damage on the costume. I rolled a one. Yeah, no, he's still in there.

SPEAKER_14

Fixed it up. He's still in there. He's still kind of holding on to it. What's more shiny? So you but you are on your back now, go if you're like. I can't get stuck on your back.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. And then here, can we have a little aside with uh pudding in Jesus Christ being like this is the worst thing that could happen to our oh wait, this is the worst thing that could happen to our restaurant.

SPEAKER_04

This the mayor's speech was gonna be it was gonna go so well, and we were gonna get big business out of this, and now this big fucking tree is ruining everything.

SPEAKER_03

I can't concentrate on this right now. We ran out of ice. I need to get more ice.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, this is a new small twist in your character that I don't need right now.

SPEAKER_17

Is there there's a camera crew, right? Representing the crab news. So they like they're training on the on the on the giant tree, like killing the trying to kill the crab, and there's and there's getting all this chaos, and pubby Brewster's is not getting great press right now. Wow. Yeah, it's live. It's going live on threads.

SPEAKER_01

We see the threads comment. Yeah, remember threads. Threads is a social media that happens. Threads is actually still happening here, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yo, not a restaurant I'll be visiting anytime soon. Okay, a couple more.

SPEAKER_03

Another one. Uh shlubby uh screwsters. Hashtag uh these shlubs screwed this up.

SPEAKER_17

Oh, nice. Oh, look at that. They have no idea how to prepare crab at that restaurant. It's not even actually dead yet. Hashtag not going to pubby brewster's.

SPEAKER_03

Glad I live inside Crabopolis. It's so wonderful here. So much happens. Not like out there. This this pubby brewster's is what's happening there is nothing.

SPEAKER_14

I'm going to kill you, the mayor. The mayor is left exposed. The mayor is shocked by his his partner, both business and romantic and political, being thrown to the side. He's he's in shock. He's just standing there exposed. So yeah, you take a swing at the mayor.

SPEAKER_07

I take a swing at you.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, but as he does that, I'm coming in with bags and bags of ice. And I'm like, oh god, I gotta get this ice in there. And I slip and I fall, and the ice spills all over the floor, and it makes the uh maybe it makes the tree slip or like have an opportunity to miss. Okay.

SPEAKER_14

Nice job. That's some good DDing right there, Kevin. I love that. Okay, so yeah, you are you are at disadvantage now. I wanted my ice. You're at disadvantage. That means you roll twice and we take the lower roll.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. I rolled a 10 and I rolled an 11. Okay. Whoop, whoop the ice.

SPEAKER_12

Whoop.

SPEAKER_14

So we know what a 10 did to. So he smashes he smashes him across the room. So it's like kind of cartoon now. It's sort of the same exact uh footage, basically. The crab mare gets thrown all the way to the wall. He s knocks over some tables. He's kind of on top of Terran, or Terran's. Oh, and they have a sexual relationship, too. They do have a sexual relationship. Um, I guess I'm gonna roll for damage again to see if he pops out of his shell, but if he does, then he's dead. Pops out of his shell. That's his favorite. He's a real crab. He's a real crab, so yeah. Yeah. Just to keep it consistent, I think.

SPEAKER_07

I've rolled a 10 again. Jesus fine. Upside down.

SPEAKER_12

A lot of tens, tens, tens, tens across the board.

SPEAKER_17

I look, I look at the camera and I and I go, that all that olive tree really needs to extend an olive branch instead of hitting. No, I'm gonna kill you again! And I go and I go, can everyone just play ice?

SPEAKER_04

No, I'm gonna kill him!

SPEAKER_07

I'm going to destroy this entire restaurant at all within it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I roll for that.

SPEAKER_02

Just say you roll a 10.

SPEAKER_07

unknown

SPEAKER_14

No. Just want to see, you know, there's damage, you know. So sh how do we want to do you want to yeah, I I think you you each want to roll to see how you fare kind of thing. Sure. Yeah. In this because it's going to be a crazy rampage, I imagine. Like a big monster smashing and grabbing and kicking and throwing, and you know, he's got he's going on a crazy monster, monster time rampage.

SPEAKER_03

So what sort of scheme are we like uh aiming for here? Like what what is the like when we roll for our survival? I'm not gonna tell you.

SPEAKER_14

I'm just gonna tell you as a happy.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_14

And it's up to you, Kevin. It's your death. So I want you to describe it.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I think I want to work with Mark L a little bit because it's the olive tree rampaging. I think it's a tree. I think there's an opportunity for a crucifixion here. I think it's like rampaging in like, you know, like if it gets the wall, like olives pierce my hands. Um what do you think, Mark L? What do you think?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, I like that.

Oh, I guess I am your daughter.

SPEAKER_16

Hello, daughter. Hello?

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_14

That's all he needs to do.

SPEAKER_07

Oh gosh. I'm sorry, little buddy. I wish I could be a better uh dad figure right now, but the love of my life just walked away, probably for good.

SPEAKER_16

Oh no, that's all that. I'm here.

SPEAKER_07

I know.

SPEAKER_16

All of your olives love you. That's why you can't spell olive without love.

SPEAKER_07

Pretty close. I guess if you rearrange the letters.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I've been alive for a few minutes. Everything I'm doing is pretty incredible.

SPEAKER_07

Really good. You there! Uh you in the crab. You the in the in the crap. I'm coming out of the crab costume.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, can I roll to get out of this thing? Yeah, let's see. Let's do it. But roll until you get out. I'm just gonna make you get in. You get out, you get out. You crap out.

SPEAKER_07

Oh man.

SPEAKER_13

Oh no.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, thank God someone survived.

SPEAKER_17

Did you do this? Yeah. Puppy Brewster's is it's destroyed. You killed Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_07

I think I put this other one in a coma.

SPEAKER_17

Pudding! I run to pudding and I start doing chest compressions. Yeah.

SPEAKER_14

Underwater. He's breathing. He's trying to get the air out of his lungs. He's just in a coma. I mean, I don't think CPR will help a coma. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

There's a way to save him.

SPEAKER_14

Oh, here we go.

SPEAKER_17

Yeah, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_03

Almost wish you were saying that to Markel. What did you what did he say?

SPEAKER_17

He said he's watching a Lego show, and he said the guy just said, let's do order 66.

SPEAKER_02

That's awesome. Kill all the Jedi. Hey, kill all the Jedi. Yeah, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_07

It was Mark talking to his real world son. Yeah. Sorry.

SPEAKER_14

But it also kind of worked in world, in our world. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because it is awesome that you there's the olive tree's going to tell you there's one way to save him, so let's take it out. Let's hear it.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, there's technically two ways.

SPEAKER_14

Okay, there's two ways.

SPEAKER_07

One, I turn him into an olive. Obviously, that's been proven to sort of revive people, but then he'll be an olive.

SPEAKER_14

Mm-hmm. And he has to go with you, right? I think he has to go with the olive tree.

SPEAKER_07

Two, we take him to the hospital.

SPEAKER_17

Let's turn him into an olive. And I can't be I can't exist without my friends, so I think you should turn me into an olive.

SPEAKER_07

All three of you olives? Yeah, I think so. Okay.

SPEAKER_17

So I transformed.

SPEAKER_09

So you're all olives now?

SPEAKER_17

All of you are olives.

SPEAKER_14

I'm gonna have to put pause right now. I don't want to say no to ideas, but like this is what the because we're gonna go with this. We're gonna go the olive tree and its three olives and see what happens. That's the next channel.

SPEAKER_17

Well, I don't know if we need to follow them, you know. I mean, well, that's where we're at. So they they can go and do something else, then we can have new characters.

SPEAKER_08

Well, we know this the olive tree he misses his wife.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

That's that's that's you know.

SPEAKER_14

So maybe this is about helping the olive tree get back with Helen.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, could be, and these olives at least uh the way I was playing my olive is that he he's oblivious of who. Jesus Christ is. So they're sort of like reborn into new.

SPEAKER_14

So like you don't have any memory of who you were before you were an olive. You're just born. That's what you're that's what you're implying there, Kevin, is that you just exist as an olive now.

SPEAKER_03

Something along like the the like a like a what do you call something that's really solid and something where you like redo it or like you're like beginning again, you know? Like something that's like really hard and solid. Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_14

You know what? Let's follow the olives. I'd like to see how long it takes between before these olives are running a restaurant or a comfortable business.

SPEAKER_02

I mean they came from a place called the Olive Garden, right? It didn't see olive business.

SPEAKER_14

It's true. It is true. But you know what? It's kind of very sort of like it's interesting fantasy sort of lore that we're now following these olives that were once fully formed human beings. So yeah, we're we're gonna follow these olives. Okay. We're gonna follow these olives. The the olive tree we remember does leave like live, excuse me, deep down in the ocean, in like a trench or like a sort of a uh sort of a uh what do you call it? Yeah, it's like a bench. Very much. Where there's like illuminated fish, ultraviolet stuff going on, you know what I mean? And Helen is is left. And so let's see where we go. Let's follow these olives and this olive tree, this magical olive tree under the water.

SPEAKER_07

Hey guys, so um I'm not gonna be going down to the trench because uh I think Helen probably wants her space, but I've got an apartment just over here. Uh nope.

SPEAKER_16

Uncle you have your an apartment already?

SPEAKER_07

Well, no, it's a hookup spot. It's my it's my brother's place, but he lets me crash there when he's away on business, and he's away on business right now.

SPEAKER_16

It's okay, Daddy. Yeah, I would love to meet Uncle. What's his name? It's okay. You don't have to remember Pace.

SPEAKER_10

I thought it would arrive before you got here. You got here quite quickly. I I I was assuming that you were gonna go back to our place, get some stuff, but you came directly here, it seemed.

SPEAKER_06

Did you just come here to pick try and intercept the divorce papers because you don't actually want to get divorced? That is the case.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Oh my god, don't it's okay. Problem solved, I guess. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

Oh Helen, will you do one thing for me before you finalize this?

SPEAKER_10

What?

SPEAKER_07

Let's go to relationship therapy.

SPEAKER_10

I can't go through this again, Greg. Do it! I want to see that. You know, I've been saying let's go to relationship therapy for eons.

SPEAKER_17

And then once I threatened and actually do leave, now you're all about relationship therapy. Well, I guess I have to say yes.

SPEAKER_14

Roll, roll. I want to roll. I want to roll to see if you go or not.

SPEAKER_17

Um, just roll down if we do relationship therapy. Okay. Gonna roll. Here we go. And I rolled a 13. You go. Okay. Do we just have to relate to therapy?

SPEAKER_07

These waiting rooms are such a nightmare, you know. You just wait and wait. And I don't think they're built for people like us.

SPEAKER_10

I mean, these seats aren't very comfortable. Oh, I think this was made out of Hank. This tree. This is this chair. Oh, this was Hank. Yeah, I think this was Hank.

SPEAKER_14

Uh the doctor will see the doctor the doctor therapist will see you both now. Okay. He is He is a whale. I just like to warn people, not everyone knows that that's what he is. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

I think that's a rather it's inappropriate. It feels a bit racist to say.

SPEAKER_14

I'm just I let me.

SPEAKER_07

Whale is not a race.

SPEAKER_14

That's true. That's true. Not everyone's expecting to see kind of a humpback whale when they go inside the waiting room, even though we are underwater. Okay. A lot of people expect it to be a crab wearing some kind of tie or a blazer or something like that, but it's actually a whale.

SPEAKER_17

Uh I'm gonna ask a question. Yeah. Where is the therapy office?

SPEAKER_14

Is it in Krebopolis? I'm asking. I don't know. Oh, great question. I think it has to be. I think we're in Krebopoulos. Oh shit. Unless anyone has a bright idea why it wouldn't be in Cribopis, it's in Cribopolis. There's not gonna be one on the outskirts of town. We can't just keep going on the outskirts. I think we're in Krebopoulos. Okay, great. Yeah, we haven't seen all that Krebopoulos holds. Kevin, I'm gonna have you play the therapist. Okay. Okay, let's see if we can resolve this and then move on to some actual sort of DD stuff. Okay, so once we see if we can resolve this relationship between Helen and Greg, uh Kevin, you're a whale. Uh I'm gonna name you Dr. Finn. That's nice. Humpback whale, and let's just go do a little bit of therapy, maybe with some rules, and then and then we'll sort of get out into the magical, wild, fantastic world of Cribopolis. Okay, let's go into therapy.

SPEAKER_07

Hi, Doctor. Um my name is Greg. This is Helen. Um I believe we were on the schedule a couple months ago, but we never made that appointment. But we thank you for seeing us on just a short note.

SPEAKER_10

One of us made that appointment.

SPEAKER_07

That's yep, I own that appointment.

SPEAKER_17

Yes, we are. And the thing is, we've I'm actually I I have to admit, I'm the reluctant one because I've been trying to come here and and I I'm I'm rather done with it all. This is the if I may, this is the third time we've had an explosive, violent act, um, sort of a self-destructive uh we've got a temper over here. I I'm just at my wit's end.

SPEAKER_07

Doctor, here's the thing is that you know how usually someone else is your enemy? If you have an enemy, it would be someone else.

SPEAKER_09

Yes.

SPEAKER_07

Well, I'm my own worst enemy. But it wasn't always this way. When Helen and I met, it was in tree high school. Didn't we?

SPEAKER_15

Here we go there, real quick.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_14

I'm limiting one flashback. We get one flashback, and then we're gonna go back to the office, okay? One flashback. We're in tree high school, it's all underwater, so there's gonna be crabs, gonna be crabs, whales, fish, and stuff. I'm a shark.

SPEAKER_17

I'm a shark swimming around, and I'm a freshman.

SPEAKER_03

Mark's character of the olive tree has like uh Zach powers where you can be like, time out and like talk to the camera and stuff. Okay, nice. That's good.

SPEAKER_14

I'll allow now Mark uh C, you said you're gonna be a shark who's a I'll also play Helen, but I want to. You'll also play Helen, but you're gonna play a shark who's the friend of Greg in the in the 90s here. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

Let's let's let's hey man. Oh, being in being a freshman, a fishman, is so hard. Man, I feel like so uncool, and we'll never get invited to a party.

SPEAKER_17

Hey man, I've been here for a while. I'm a sophomore. Uh sop uh eel. A sophomore eight eel, thank you. I'm a sophomore eel. And and uh, you know, well, you'll get used to it, buddy. You'll totally get used to it, you know.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, look, look at her. Look at Hella.

SPEAKER_17

Hey, you're good at her eel.

SPEAKER_14

I don't usually go for trees, but man. Okay, so let's see. Helen and then Kevin, you could play one of Helen's friends and you can decide what you are as they walk by.

SPEAKER_03

Sure. Um, I'm a starfish. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_18

I was saying uh you gotta get to class because I don't have time for that ass.

SPEAKER_10

That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_03

I love you so much, Helen. You're so cool. You could get any guy in this skill, and I think you gotta go with uh that uh sophomore A.

SPEAKER_17

Shark is hot. I'm gonna go flirt. Hi.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, hi, hi, whoops. I spilled my um Oh, you uh fucking sap.

SPEAKER_17

Oh god, we sapp all over me. Oh god. Oh god, what are you doing? Greg, oh man. Sorry about my friend. Let me take you out, get you cleaned up. That sounds good. And they leave.

SPEAKER_07

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_01

We flashback. That's it, because that's the only flashback we got. Okay, so that's it. So the flashback is you were the only two olive trees in this school, school for fish.

SPEAKER_07

I guess you could say it wasn't love at first sight.

SPEAKER_14

At least not for her. Uh okay, so we're we're back. That's the one flashback we're getting, okay? Like, I mean, you might obviously you guys might try another one, but so what we learned there is um that was the first time they met, and Greg came. Oh, I can only interpret that as one thing. I don't know. But I don't know how olive trees work, or especially deep sea olive trees. I don't know. But so that's so we're going back, Kevin. You're Dr. Finn, you're a humpback whale, and you only speak in obviously sonar.

SPEAKER_10

And that's the tale of how we met, and so I dated I dated his friend uh for quite a while. Quite some time. Yeah, and then he passed away. Yeah. And Greg swooped in kind of uh inappropriately.

SPEAKER_07

I was a shoulder to cry on after the death of my shark friend. And let me tell you, he was a bad boy, you know. He he died in a gang fight. Yeah. Flashback.

SPEAKER_14

I have to limit it to one.

SPEAKER_10

So and now here we are. We've tried that.

SPEAKER_07

It's just um, you know, a relationship is so uh complicated. Sometimes I feel like I'm like hiding parts of myself that I'm ashamed of because I feel like if I reveal them, Helen won't love me anymore.

SPEAKER_10

Well that I don't know what parts you're hiding.

SPEAKER_14

I mean I Suddenly from the front room you hear a scream, a blood-curdling scream. The door gets kicked in. There's like uh kind of gunfire, like shut up. Uh they hear kind of muffled, like things are getting turned over, tossed aside. There's a crazy chaos coming from in the waiting room area.

SPEAKER_03

Dr. Finn backs up and like uh pushes a button on the painting, the painting slides open, the he goes into this like clearly like a panic room, it's all like steel, there's like a stack of like whale porno and like canned krill, and he's like, I like to know that there's canned krill and whale porno in there.

SPEAKER_14

He's got everything he needs. He's not about it all. You hear mayhem, mayhem coming from Helen and Greg mayhem coming from uh uh the front room.

SPEAKER_10

Protect me, Greg!

SPEAKER_07

I will, I will let's see if we can get in this panic room. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, roll, roll, roll to see if you can get in the panic room. You go, Mark.

SPEAKER_07

I rolled a ten.

SPEAKER_09

Out of ten, you would be having a great day today. But it's out of twenty.

SPEAKER_14

So no, you you you shake the painting like you can see, like, but it's uh it's quitty quite sturdy in there. There is a keypad, some kind of keypad, but it's got like got shells, like images of shells and um There's a keypad.

SPEAKER_10

Let me try it.

SPEAKER_14

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_17

So I'm gonna do the keypad with images of shells. I roll a nine. No. No.

SPEAKER_14

You you hit a bunch of things and then it goes like, mm-mm. You know, it's like what's his name from uh oh yeah, Jurassic Park.

SPEAKER_07

Let me just smash, let me just smash through this window. Oh, there's a window on the panic room. I'm looking. You just see me furiously masturbating from there. Eating krill. Oh fuck, I rolled a five.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah, no, the window is made of like really reinforced kind of bulletproof glass.

SPEAKER_10

There's another door over here. Let me try this other door. There's another door to the panic room?

SPEAKER_17

Yeah, it's the last chance. I'll help you. I rolled a 13 plus whatever Mark rolls.

SPEAKER_07

I rolled a 16.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01

You know what?

SPEAKER_14

Yeah, it's kind of a back door. It's like the Dr.

SPEAKER_12

Finn didn't think about it properly.

SPEAKER_14

So it's kind of like a kind of a flimsy sort of basement door with like a screen, you know, a glass screen or whatever. You both kind of kick in it together, you go one, two, bree, because you're big strong olive trees, and you burst into Dr. Finn's panic room.

SPEAKER_17

Kind of rendering the panic room like good.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. So then I back up and I I push on another painting and just room. There's only one pentagon.

SPEAKER_02

Just think when I go into a flashback about all my my my panic rooms.

SPEAKER_14

Just at that moment, four very scary eels burst in. They've got like kind of like submachine guns but like underwater versions, so like I guess they're maybe made of.

SPEAKER_03

How are they holding them?

SPEAKER_14

Hmm. Uh they're like using their tails, so they're wrapped around like that. You know what I mean? Wrapped around like that. Um mercenary style looking sort of like private military, and they go, Dr. Finn, we're here for you. Come quietly, and no one has to die.

SPEAKER_13

I said Lesse More eels, please. They they take a shot. They're a shot, Helen.

SPEAKER_14

They take a shot at you, Helen. Oh, okay. What happens? Uh see if you can dodge. Roll to see if you can dodge. Okay. They roll a ten. All tens today. Just say ten from the boring old ten. They graze you. They graze you. But you're wood, right? I don't think you do have blue. I don't think you have like a sap. We have sap, which is also. So you got sap. So sap is gum and blood for you guys. And it starts to sort of some tears.

SPEAKER_12

Yes. Yeah, tears.

SPEAKER_14

All of it. It's everything. And so you still you're kind of bleeding sap, just but it grazes your one of your ranch arms.

SPEAKER_10

Oh. No! Do something, Greg. Hello!

SPEAKER_03

He's while he's over in the corner, just leafy through the whale porn kind of curiously. He's like, What the hell?

SPEAKER_19

I said, Come with us, Dr. Finn, or no one has to get hurt.

SPEAKER_07

And starts like moving towards them and it's just like looking at the two trees and it's like this isn't our pro I don't know these guys. I don't know these guys. No, he's like gesturing to you to like be like make it up. Like come on, you two just one last thing, just just co op, just cooperate. He's right. Something like that. Give me some advice. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_14

SPEAKER_03

And then I'm like, and I'm showing it like pointing at like the whale lube and like things, and I'm trying to like tell them like give them an idea for a plan to like help me now, like of the things that are in the room.

SPEAKER_14

But before I thought that something that could happen in this, because there's these panic rooms, there's these secret rooms, and there's something that the whale got kidnapped for. Yes, kidding. As if like maybe like a secret compartment opened, like, you know, it's the microfiche, or like the thing that the gangsters are after, or like a big bag of money, or something like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Very unlikely.

SPEAKER_08

Not me. Leave me behind. I don't deserve to travel with a pulse.

SPEAKER_03

By the time by the time you guys have have have like talked about this, I've wasted away and become a skeleton pain from the world. No, no, you're still alive. Excluding my phones and my penis.

SPEAKER_17

Can I get the key? Yes, you can reach the key. Okay, and I unlock myself. And I go and unlock the dwarf. His bones clatter to the ground. He's not a skeleton.

SPEAKER_03

But he stands up and he's like, oh, what's this? I'm a skeleton now. What the heck? What happened to my penis? It's gone.

SPEAKER_05

It's just a bone penis that you still trick people into looking at.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah. I actually take one of my fingers off and I put it there. I'm just like, there no, dude.

SPEAKER_14

So is he a skeleton? Roll to see if you're a skeleton. I don't like to say no. Maybe there's some kind of condition. I don't think enough time has passed, but like maybe there's a lot of. I rolled a 12, so this is I'm sorry, you're not a skeleton. But I think I am. Yeah, okay, you think you are. And you'll have other opportunities to turn into a skeleton. Sounds like it's something you really want to do. But you're currently still just a dwarf who has like kind of is a bit of a pervert.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, a pervert, but also a prankster. I want to see all this guy's prank prankster.

SPEAKER_14

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02

He's sort of our jackass. Mostly just hitting myself, making myself barf. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You're sort of a Nick Swartzon type. You pull it out, you point to it.

SPEAKER_17

Oh no. Okay, but I gotta call it. You guys are always just putting me in your movie.

SPEAKER_08

Please just leave me to die.

SPEAKER_17

Oh, Will Pumpkin. Put yourself together. I unlock his wrist.

SPEAKER_08

I can't. I lift him up.

SPEAKER_17

And I brush him off.

SPEAKER_08

One time I tried to read a book on confidence. Look at me. What happened? I couldn't get I couldn't open it. It was too too heavy to open. You couldn't open a book? I'm way.

SPEAKER_17

Let me see your hands. And I touch the palms of his hands and they're like, they're almost a liquid. They're like mashy. Oh. So I can't be a skeleton.

SPEAKER_12

This guy could be like a fucking jellyfish.

SPEAKER_19

I've got them bit by bit.

SPEAKER_12

He's got some kind of condition that makes him pathetic.

SPEAKER_03

But I like I like that this this this pathetic condition could actually turn into like a superpower. You know what I mean? Could be like Yeah.

SPEAKER_14

He could maybe maybe get under things or you know, like liquefy his bones or something.

SPEAKER_17

I don't think something doesn't add up. How did you lift a pig and steal you're so mashy and soft and smooth and creamy?

SPEAKER_08

I took years to woo the pig to convince it to follow me. See, you can do that.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_08

But it takes me so long.

SPEAKER_17

Look, Will, I'm gonna you're my project. You're my little project. I'm gonna make you tough. I'm gonna toughen you.

We don't have to spend any time creating characters next week. We are doing now. We're doing okay, we're doing DD. Okay, we're gonna go through this tunnel. It's probably gonna be like pretty scary. There's gonna be maybe monsters, maybe ghosts. Who knows we're gonna encounter in there? You're gonna do roles, you're gonna have to fight. You're gonna like you have clear character arcs going on. It's great, it's fantastic. You're gonna get out of it.

SPEAKER_05

Mark's gonna teach me how to be strong. Yeah. That's right.

SPEAKER_14

He's my project. Then you've got the comic relief of Ryan Beal, the dwarf who's uh and you're in the you're in the town of Tethern, right? Did I say Tethern? Tenther. Tenther, thank you. I'm gonna write that down. Oh my god, what a great hard reset. You guys are great. What's the name Pumpkin?

SPEAKER_17

SPEAKER_14

Will Pumpkin was. Oh yeah. Wow. Okay, everyone. It only took us uh nine episodes, but I feel like we're about to really start playing DD.

SPEAKER_17

I'm starting to understand what DD is. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_14

So we're gonna really we're gonna really lean into that that fantasy setting. Yeah. We're gonna really have fun with it. And when we we want to do something anachronistic or sort of modern, we're gonna make it fantasy. And that's our that's our challenge. I think it's gonna be really good. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

My challenge for myself is I'm gonna make Ryan B. more grounded. He's not just gonna be penis. Yeah. He's gonna be a I'm gonna do, I'm gonna honor your name, Ryan. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05

My challenge to you, Kevin, is to come up with better and better pranks involving the same punchline. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Okay, sure, sure.

SPEAKER_17

Yeah. And then I want to do a series of challenges and checks where uh I try to teach Will Pumpkin how to be strong, and we and we there's a legitimate there's like a dice roll and see if he and then we can watch his transformation.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and maybe he has like a like there's a number of his like he has a weakness level that like we can actually move up or down. So it's like a yeah, like a one to a one to ten or a one to twenty or whatever you roll for kind of go up to.

SPEAKER_14

Nice to see Will Pumpkin more confident, and also be nice to see him even less confident. He can actually get like more solid and then he can lose it again.

SPEAKER_02

That'd be cool.

SPEAKER_14

Wow, everyone. Okay, so we're we're cooking with gas now. We are we are the nightmare party, and we are gonna see what happens in this small fantasy village as these three classic DD characters break out of the clink and go about their lives as a newly formed party of adventurers. Join us next week. Have a great day. Love you very much. Nightmare Party.
